The Sabine Trade.
We had the pleasure, yesterday, of making
ter'a Bluff Panola county, who visits this city
for the purpose of calling the attention of ou;
merchants and commercial men to the enter-
undertaking of opening the trade
Galveston and the counties on the
river. On such a mission we gladly
welcome a representative of Eastern TexaSj
and we commend Mr. Vawter to the attention
ot our business men. A friend writes us that
Mr. V. is a merchant of high standing and
largely.interested in the prosperity of his sec-
tion.
It appears, from the best data which we can
obtain, that about fifty thousand bales of cot-
ton are shipped annually from Eastern Texas.
by Red River, to. New Orleans, one half oj
which at the lowest estimate, would come to
Galveston were the necessary facilities for
transportation afforded. The distance which
the rivers of the East, Sabine and Angelina,
are navigable and the fertile and populous
counties on their banks, give assurance that in
a few years the trade of that section will be
immense indeed, and beyond parallel, if the
means of reaching a market is secured to the
planter at a reasonable rate. Furthermore,
the merchants and planters of the east are
prepossessed in fhvor of Galveston, and if onjy
equal facilities are offered she will have the
preference to other ports.
The.project of a canal between Sabine and
Galveston at once presents itself as the grand
remedy for our Eastern friends, and an enter-
prise which will effectually secure this vast
trade to Galveston. We took occasion some
time ago to speak of the Sabine canal as a
project which would be much more advanta
geous to our city than the one to the Brazos
now in hand; and from acquaintance with
many of the Eastern people assured our read-
ers of their earnestness and the certainty of
their participation in the enterprise. These
assurances we can confidently reiterate, and
our word for it, they will meet the people of
Galveston in the most liberal spirit.
The distance from Sabine Pass to Brews-
ter's Bluff is 600 miles, and, altogether, the
Sabine is navigable lor a distance of 800 miles
From Brewster's Bluff, by the river, to Sabine
Pass, and thence to New Orleans, the freight
on cotton i^ three dollars and fifty cents per
bale. The want of sea vessels at Sabine, and
the consequent delay in reaching a
has operated against the trade; but if
steamer, or a line of schooners, from this port
to Sabine, would ensure the transportation of
produce as it arrived at the Pass, we are in-
formed that from 15 to 20,000 bales of cotton
would be sent to this market from the counties
south of Panola, even at the same rate
freight as to New Orleans. Despatch is the
.most important consideration^ to the cotton

from my pen, when it begins to
trace the name of Ireland, that I cannot now
venture to allow it to touch this topic, except
for the purpose of assuring you that my at-
tachment to my native laud continues unaltered
and unalterable.

Whig measures—Deaf and Dumb Institution—
Improvements—the Public Debt, fa-
Editor Galveston Journal :
Sia—The crops in this country are quite
prmising. Rain is needed, but as yet the
crops have not suffered. Universal health
prevails. Everjr thing indicates improve-
ments. Lands are appreciating in value.
The Whigs, in this county, will doubtless
concentrate the whole strength of the party
on B. H. Epperson, Esq. If the party through-
out the State will do this, he will be elected
beyond question. What a glorious thing it
would be to have a Whig Governor for the
Star State ! Is not this " a consummation
devoutly to be wished ?" Will not the W higs,
in this instance, unite "toa'man?" We
will see. ■' .iu-'l i-'
I find a good spirit prevailing in this region
in regard to internal improvements and do-
mestic manufactures—two of the cardinal
features of Whig policy. In this respect the
democrats of this region have all tbrned Whigs.
The Deaf and Dumb Institution, in this
place, is doing well, and deserves public pa-
tronage. Its founders—the Messrs. Harris
are worthy gentlemen, and well qualified to
conduct such an institution.
The town of Montgomery is improving.—
Four hundred thousand brick will be made
this season by one gentleman. A good cir-
cular Saw Mill is in operation in the vicinity,
furnishing an abundance of excellent lumber
at reasonable rates. ' .
Quite a disposition prevails among the plan-
ters to construct a Plank Road to Houston.—
In this I am confident you will rejoice. A
merchant, just returned from Houston, informs
me that he met 96 wagons going into that town.
The plan of paying the public debt at par-
tee creditor's investing their funds in education
and internal improvements—is taking like
wild-fire vgth the honest yeomanry of the
State. The able pamphlet, setting forth this
plan, is read with avidity, and its doctrines
cordially approved by many ot the most in-
telligent in the community.
Many persons are looking for locations for
themselves and friends in this part oi the State.
Yours, truly, RAMBLER.
we have no doubt that some of our ship or
steamboat owners can make an arrangement
for putting suitable vessels in the Sabine trade
this coming season, that will be profitable to
all concerned.

Id3 Mr. R. B. Stille, Surveyor of the port
of New Orleans, having received orders from
Washington to dismiss one of his deputies,
dismissed a Whig named Walton and retained
a strong democrat named Reyburn. The
matter has caused some discussion in the New
Orleans papers, and our whig cotemporaries
there are very naturally incensed at the act.
The surveyor, it appears, fearing that certain
difficulties existing in the Custom House would
be brought before the U. S. Senate, which
in l\ew Urlean8 the might involve his removal, retained the demo-
, and we bespeak crat for the benefit of his influence, and with

a view to palliate the affair in the eyes of the
democratic majority in the Senate. The N.
Orleans surveyor is not the only whig in office
who, having provided for Number One, mani-
fests the utmost liberality towards political
opponents to the neglect of deserving whigs.

Daniel Webster and the Lord Mayor
of London.—The following is an extract
from Mr. Webster's recent speech at Buffalo.
The story about the Cockney Lord Mayor is
too good to be lost:
"Gentlemen, the commercial character so
far pervades the minds of men all ever the
world that there are many men who are very
respectable and intelligent, who do not seem
to know there is anyparrt ofthe United States
but New York. (Laughter.) I was in Eng-
land, and when I was there it was asked of
me, iflriid not come from New York. (Great
laughter.) I told them my wife came from

to be invited to a state dinner by the Lord
Mayor of London. He was a portly and a
corpulent gentleman—(laughter)—he had a
big wig on his head all powdered and ribbons ¡
down behind. I had the honor to sit between
him and the Lady Mayoress; and there were j
300 guests, with all the luxeriesand gorgeous-1
ness of the Lord Mayor's dinner. By and by
iu the course ofthe proceedings, his lordship
thought proper, soon after the cloth was re-
moved, to take notice of his American guest
He seemed not to know who I was. lie knew
I was a Senator; but of the United States he
seemed to have but little idea of any place but
New York.(laughter.) Hearose:—■•Gentle-
men," said he, "I give you the health of Mr.
Webster, a member of the upper Senate oí
New York" (Great outbursts'of laughter.)!
Well, gentlemen, it was a great honor to be a
member of any Senate of New York, but if
there was an upper Senate, to be member o£
FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.

england.
The defeat of the Miuistry before alluded to
by telegraph, took place on the Income Tax
Renewal Bilí.
On a motion of Mr. Hume, that the renewal
should be only for one instead of for three
years, and that- the question as to the possi
bility of hereafter modifying its scale so as to
make it less unjust ifiould be submitted toa
select committee, the Ministers were defeated
by a majority of ! 1, the numbers being 244
for Mr. Hume's proposal and 230 against it.
The result, says a correspondent ol the Com-
mercial Advertiser, gave general satisfaction
to the country, and as it was too decisive to be
resisted, while it was quite unlikely that in
the present state of affairs Lord John would
again tender his resignation, it was again an-
ticipated that he would find it necessary to
yield, and would now concede to force what
he had so long resisted giving with a good
grace. This expectation proved correct, and
it was announced that the tax would be taken
lor one year in the form proposed, and that no
resistance would be offered to the appointment
of a committee to report as to any amend-
ments which may be made in its assessment
fo,r the future.
On the evening of the 6th inst. the M inister
again experienced a virtual defeat, on a mo-
tion introduced by Lord Naas, with reference
to the spirit trade. John Russell said that the.
effect of the motion would be a reduction ot
the duty on spirits, which the Miuistry were
not prepared lor. The motion was pressed
to a vote of references to a committee, and the
numbers were 150 ou each side. Mr. Roe-
buck said that he would put it to the noble
lord whether, alter this fourth defeat, he
would still retaki the reins of Goverment, and
urged him to resign for the sake of his personal
reputation.
.Lord Russel somewhat tartly replied that
hé would take care of his personal character
and reputation without Mr. Roebuck's aid
or counsel; that resignation of Government
was a grave matter, involving very seriuos
consequences; and that while the Ministers
were not disposed to allow the character ofthe
Government to be impaired, neither would
they, under a sense of defeat, hastily resign
office. The subject then dropped, but as this
was tfie lourth virtual deieat since their re-
sumption of office, the Ministry will probably
resign. They are evidently too weak to guide
the legislation of Parliament.
In the House of Commons, on the evening
oí the 6th, it was mentioned by the Govern-
ment that the Lieutenant Governor of Van
Dieman's Land had thought it his duty to
withdraw the tickets of leave granted to the
three Irish prisoners, McManus, O'Doherty
iini i"'jrnn-^pi;p')CC of their mis-
treatment of the Irish patriots by the English
government, we find in the Irish American:
On the 3d of December, M'Manus, O'Dog-
herty and O'Donohoe went to New Norfolk on
private business, and while there, visited Smith
O'Brien, whom they had not seen since bis
committal to the dungeon of Maria Island.
They spent the night of the 3d at his residence
and retured to Hobart Town next day. V. * .
For this act—so natural and touching under
the circumstances of their penal destiny.
M'Manus and O'Dogherty were arrested and
brought to trial, ten days after, on the charge \
of violating the conditions of their tickets of
leave. O'Donohoe, being confined to his
by illness, was also placed under arrest in I
sick room', and served with notice of an —
prosecution. ^

J The Great Exhibition.—A correspondent
of the Commercial Advertiser, writing from
London on tbe^th inst., says:
The eflcct produced by the brilliant open-
ing of the exhibid on appears to have been
universal, and the daily receipts are beyotid
péey.bus anticipations. For two days after
t|je opening the price of admission was £ 1, to
all persons not possessing season tickets, yet
On the 27th of April he entered the city with
great rejoicing. This occurred immediately
after Saldanhá's cause seemed hopeless, and
when it was supposed he had taken to flight.
Count Thomar's ministry having resigned,
the Queen had entrusted the formation ot a
Cabinet to the Duke of Terceira, but it was
supposed he would decline the task, Ihe
obnoxious minister had taken passage on
board a British ship for Vigo, in Spain. The
Queen has sent for the successlul rebel to
come to Lisbon, but he declines to do so until
a Ministry shall have beeu tormed in accor-
dance with the principles for which he is in
arms. What those principles are, nobody
exactly understands, since the contest has
been one between rival aspirants to power
rather than for any popular rights. It has
i been said, and generally believed, that bal-
danha represents the Conservative party, but
the correspondent oi the N. Y. Commercial
Advertiser, who is very well informed in re-
gard to European politics, asserts that he be-
longs to the liberal school, and that Thomar
is an Absolutist. This is certaiuly the more
probable supposition.
italy.
In the Italian States the reaction daily be-
comes more and more insane. 1 he Grand
Duke of Tuscany (one of the runaways in
the days of the revolution) has just given
power* to the authorities in his dominions to
imprison for twelve months any. persons of
whom they entertain political suspicions. The
rage felt by this potentate as well as by the
Pope and the King ot Naples at the commer-
cial treaty just concluded between England
and Sardinia is said to be intense.
germany.
It is stated by some of the German papers
that a new effort is about to be made by
Hungary to recover her liberty. Accounts
from Vieipa, however, deny these statements,
and assert that the productive classes are well
satisfied with the Austrian domination, and
are heartily glad at the reliel afforded them
from the exactions ol their nobles. The only
dissatisfaction that exists, arises from the
question of the tobacco monopoly.

guarded and exact as to dates, as may be
seen from the following incident in real lite.
An elderly geutleman and lady were ruling
a few days ago in an omnibus. Opposite to
them s it a pleasant looking young married
lady with a fine, noble, chubby, crowing, bully
of a boy in her lap. Conversation arose be-
tween the parties. A steamer trom Chagres
had just arrived, and the good looking lady,
with the chubby juvenile, Wished to know the
news, remarking that her husband had been
a way fifteen months that day, and that she
was very anxious to hear from him. Ami
then the good looking lady proceeded to in-
dulge iu a long and pathetic dissertation on
the discomfits and annoyances of wives when
husbands go off and stay so long from their
homes. " True, tnadum," remarked the el-
derly gentleman, who had never known the
pride and pleasures ot paternity, ' but then,
that fine little fellow must be great pleasure

A Lost Child Found.—The N. Y. Tri-
bune relates the following singular incident:
Some five years since, a poor woman of
the name of Moore sent her child, then about
eio-ht years of age, to the grocery, since which
time all attempts to find her whereabouts
have proved abortive. A few days since the
now grown-up girl was recognised by one of
her oíd playmates iiva grocery store, upon an
errand from the family in which she resided
as a domestic. Her playmate asked her why
she did not go home to her parents. She
burst into tears and replied that she did not
know where to find them, that they were
dead, &c. The young friend watched her to
her place of residence, in Eighth street, and
urged her to go home. The mother, being
apprised of the circumstance, immediately
sought out her child, who gives the following
history of her case: When she first approach-
ed the grocery she was accosted by a man,
tn a waoron.
