Bsa5" We leSra from tho Galvcton papers
that DR., PEBBLES, the Collector Of the port
Of Galveston arrived in that City on the
9th lust. The Civilian says that Mr.. T. A.
Burk, Deputy Collector also arrived with
DR.. PEBBLES, aud adds:
"Mr. Burk informs as that he has brought
with him a cargo Of experts, and that he is
now ready to examine into the condition Of
matters here. As soon as he can make
the necessary arrangements, the CUSTOM
house will be opened, and due notice given
TO tho public
The correspondent Of the Ncws, however,
says:
IL learn that duputy collector came
over with DR.. Peeb!ea, and from that gem
tleman learn that this port cannot be op-
ened to trade until instructions shall be re-
ceived from Washington. When that will
be seems quite uncertain. 1t was expected
that our port would be opened Immediately
upon the arrival Of the collector or . depu.
ty, but it seems we were mistaken. Many
OF our merchants are suffering seriously
from this delay, but the people Of Texas
generally are suffering quite as much.
Nearly all the inconvcnieces Of q continu-
ed blockade are experienced. | am, how
ever assured that il cannot be long before
the office OF tho collector will be fully open
ed, when all vessels can enter and clear
without delay. DR.. PEBBLES is in very
low state of health indeed, nor is there any
probability that he will be able to attend to
any public duties"

Tie New Orleans Correspondent Of the
