are to transfer the emigrants at the
South West Pass, to steamers com,
ing from New Orleans to Galveston.
Mr. House found the inquiry about
Texas quite universal, through Eng.
land, Franco and Germany, in all Of
which countries he has Travelled
quite extensively during the past
six months. lie SAW Mr.. James Sor-
ley in Liverpool, and was informed
by him that he had succeeded in
making arrangements to ship emil
grants from Scotland to Liverpool,
and thence direct TO Galveston On
his arrival in New York, Mr.. House
saw Mr. Atlicck there, who was to
leave by the first steamer for Europe,
with II view to carry out his plans
for bringing Scotch Immigrants to
Texas.
Mr.. II. ilrfnrmsme thatonc or two
more lines Of Steamers will proba,

tween New York and Galveston, in
addition to the three following lines
that have been in operation for some
time past, namely Messrs &. H.

and the line Of Williams & Grayson,
Of which John s. Sellers & Co. are
Agents in Galveston. Besides these
lines Of steamers now, and soon to
be, in the trade there will also be
several lines of sail vessels put in
the same trade this Fall.
There has stcently been cstab-
lished a line Of sail vessels to run
between Boston and Galveston. 1t
is owned by Mcssrs. Thayer & Lin
coin, who are tho successors to
MessTs. Fierce & Bacon, formerly in
this trade. The first vessels of this
line are already on their way out,
with very valuable cargoes, con
signed to T. W. House, Galveston.
Mr.. House informs me that he
saw several of the leading Conserv-
tive statesmen of the North, and |
among others, Mr.. Caleb Cushing.-t
He says they are far from being dis |
with hcpolitical prospects.
They admit that prospects are that
tllc Congressional elections may go
against them, and that possibly the
may maintain their pres
cnt majority, though this is believed
to be very doubtful. Capt. Hendlcy |
thinks the chances are that the Dem
ocrats may carry the State of New
York.
Thcy are certain to carry the cit
les Of New York and Brooklyn, and !
some adjacent counties counties by |
large maiorities. Several of the |
towns Of Connecticut have shown by
late local elections, that they will |
give respectable Democratic major
tiles, though at the last election they
were carried by the Radicalsb by large
maiorities. But even should the
Radicals maintain their full power
in Congress which is very probablc)
still many of The most prominent
and best Informed Democrats think
the Radicals already see the neces-
kity of pursuing q more moderate
and conciliatory course than the
party has heretofore done. They
