her manner and behavior, and certainly
not without justice. The queen entered
the council chamber, accompanied by
her two uncles, who advanced to meet
her. She bowed to the lords, took her
seat, and then read her speech in a
clear, distinct and audible voice, aud
without any appearance of fear or EN-.

dressed and in mourning. After SHE

Cattle Trade between Texas and

between Galveston and London. A
company has recently been formed in
the great English capital, of which Sir
Howard Epperson is president Col II.
NJ. Graham proposes to represent it in
Galveston. According to the News, OF
that city, the plans of this company
are based ON capital OF five millisn
pounds, and contemplate the establish
meut OF regular line of steamers be.
tween Galveston and London, especially
to the business OF carrying live cattle to
England and ngimmigrants to Texas.
Col. Graham informs the News that the
chief popularity of these vessels will
be the application OF Relph's patent
for securing cattle on voyages by n
series of connected hammocks. 1t is
asserted that with the use of this patent
as many as 800 cattle can be safely
transported in direct trip of about
sixteen days. The company also de-
signs to establish stud farm in the in
terror of Texas for the improvement of
stock. A pioneer steamer, the fin's-
terre, chartered by the company, has
left Glasgow and her arrival is daily
looked for in Galveston.
