sentative and agent Of the largest exchange house
in America-a house that has had the very largest
transactions; in fact, prodgous, for the last
twenty-five years in the Southwest, and particu-
larly in this emporium-left yesterday morning via
the Jackson Railroad. The agent Of Rothschild
and their coagent in New York appeared on the
flags yesterday, looking for bargains. Therefore,
we have some tall representatives yet US,
and are sure that we are not likely to be deserted
in toto for the present.
There was some appointment expressed at the
failure of the great Northern mail via the jackson
road. There was mishtch at the Grand juno
ton but the foreign mails arc not regarded with
much eomplaceney just at this moment, partieu
farly the English mails. There are TOO many mis-
slyes Of an uncertain character expected.
There were some Few arrivals yesterday and the
day previous from the interior. The boats from
the west were deeply loaded with the usual assort

bricks and building materials2 Through the artiff-
cal channel Of about sixty feet in width and five
feet in depth 70 this may be added the large
shipments of produce and merchandise which are

lake shores OF Louisiana, Alabama, Florida. way TO

business transacted through this Canal and Basin
amounts to millions of dollars annually. We also
note the rapid increase Of business to the

appear to be any space or room for the large in

and re-opening OF the old Basin must be conducive
to and of great advantage to our general com
munity.
Well, talking about canals, brings up the grand
canal of Col. Stewart into Lake Borgne. It is ma

There was some talk of the nature of the news t
