North German Lloyds; Mr. Burlage, OF New
York, consul gendral Of Holland Mr.. Frericks,
Mr.. Shcl9d and Mr.. Reickardt, besides others
whose names we cannot now recall. The
press also was largely represented. In response
to the invitation of the host, Capt Dryer, the
guests proceeded to do full justice to the msgni6
cent dinner which WAS then set before them, and
that dinner needs more than a passing mention
IL was superb one. Everything that an epicure
could ask was there, served mp in q style 30 in
viting that a man seemed forced to eat whether
he were hungry or no, and washed down by wines
which. made in sunny France, or by the banks of
the Rhine. seemed to be yet touched by tae sun
shine Of their native hills. The substantial por-
ton OF the banquet over, and the table some what
cleared of the weight of good things under
which 1t had groaned, Mr.. Krutschnitt, consul Of
the North German Confederation at this city, pro-
posed the health Of the commander OF the vessel
Capt. Dreyer. To this Mr.. Stockmeyer re.
sponded, at the same time calling upon Mr..
Buddeeke for q sentiment. That gentleman

Prond to welcome to New Orleans. bis adopted

by giving the health of the officers and crew of
the Bremen steamship New York. Various other
sentiments and responses then followed in qnick
succession. Mr.. Luling gave the press OF New
Orleans, which was responded TO by Mr.. Bigrey,
Of the Times, who gave the German merchants Of
New Orleans, to which Mr. Buddecke responded.
The representative of the CRESCENT was honored
by being called upon to respond to the toast OF
the ladies'" and Mr.. Lsne, of the Bee, 10 response
to repeated calls, delivered q short, pointed and
eloquentlittie speech. Messrs Williams, Frericks
and Reicbert, also contributed their quota to the
fund Of tossts and responses. But all too soon,
while the tide OF enjoyment was at its height, the
sense that there was to.day's paper to get up,
called the representatives of the press away from
the attractive scene, and so, with the statement
that we are sure the rest of tbs evening was spent
as pleasantly as was the early part OF it, out re-
port OF what was done must here close.
The ship will leave New Orleans for Bremen
to morrow, the 10th. She is now being loaded.
We would say to our readers that look at the big
ship would .amply repay a trip to the Jackson
street ferry. just below which she lies. Her off.
GERS are all clever gentlemen, aud will, we are
sure. take great pleasure in showing their ship to
any strangers who may pay them call. The
boat is a thing of beauty herself, for. aside from
her great size, her finish is so complete to chal.
lepee admiration at every step the observer
takes; while the reflection OF the peculiar signi6-
cameo which her appearance now bears, makes
her an object of special interest.
Our reporter is indebted to Mr.. Stockmeyer and
Capt preyer for courtesies extended.
THE CITY is fast filing mp with country neigh
bors and with strangers. The hotels are crowded
already, and the signs, Furnished rooms % which
met one during the entire SUMNER on half a dozen
houses in almost every square, are rapidly disap-
pearing. The people of New Orleans look for q
gay and busy winter. r -.....

TIE FIFTH DISTRICT Court is transacting its
business very rapidly. Monday and Tuesday eighty
entries were made on the minutes, consisting of
judgments, defaults, rules to show cause, ETC.
Judge Leaumont Is as indefatigable as he is
prompt and able in the performance of his duties,
and he is well assisted and facilitated by the clerk
Of the court and his experienced and obligiDg
deputies.
THAT THE PROSPERITY OF Louisiana is materi-
ally increased is evidenced by the fact that from
September TO November Is, 1867, 365 bales of
cotton, shipped TO New Orleans by small farmers
in lots OF to 10 bales per consignment. were
spending period, only eight bales have been
seized. fs1
The same evidence is more remarkable in the
return goods, the plantation supplies, etc., or.
cred. Where twenty consignments of this nature
were arrested in rsnsit. last year, by the sheriff,
hardly one is now on record.
This is sn evidence of intrinsic prosperity. Ii
shows that, although last years farm products in
our State were below the average, the farmers
and planters bad the good sense to economist,
and 10 keep their cash receipts for the ensuing
years disbursements. Next year, with such q
policy We may look for something like return to
The pleasant days of the olden time, when our
country cousins came to town and gave an i'm
petus TO business of every kind with their liberal
expenditure.
