A few days ago We had he pleasure of inspect
ing several pictures produced by that new pro-
cess -photogravure. These works OF art were
on exhibition ut the gallery Of that well known
connoisseur, Mr.. 6eebold OF Csnal street. Ono
II the pictures shown was that of a Roman en-.
peror, representing Clsudius, concealed behind
curtain in pslace in fear Of personal harm, and
sharing the fate Of Caguls snd his family, whose
bodies are lying on the floor before the curtain.

TRADE REvIvING.

The anticipatiens Of our merchants locking to
the revvifying Of New Orleans as great COM
mercial port under good and lawful government
are already beginning to be realized. During
the past week quite number Of English steam
ships have arrived in This port, at least nine or
ten, and the number Of sailing vessels up and
sailed from foreign ports for this place is largely
ON the increase. It is matter Of certainty that
by the 10Th OF October the arrivals will increase
rapidly.
Concerning our river trade the towboat Bee and
barges, from ST. Louis. arrived yesterday, bring.
ing large amount of bulk corn, say lii
bushels, and there are TWO or three other tows
with large shipments Of grain coming from the
same port on their way here TO arrive within the

MUNICIPAL MATTERS.
A MISTAKE CapunEcTEn.

We confess TO having made sn error yesterday
10 our tsbleau Of the assessed property Of TIE
city for the past ten years, when we referred to
the assessment Of 1877 as that which has been
recently msde by the present board.
The assessment now being made is for the year
1878, and will be known as such. Our error was
due to combination OF circumstances useless
to relste, but including the change made in 1871,
before which time assessments made in one year
were reckoned as the assessments OF that year.
Now they are known 40 the assessments Tor the
year in which they are collectible. The assess
ment for 1878, however, will scarcely be in ex-
cess of that Of 1871
