BUTTER. -Notwithstanding that tho riudorpest has more than decimated the cows of England, butter and cheese are probably cheaper there at this time than in the United States. Cotenvporaneonsly with the appear? ance of the cattle plague, smart Yan? kees in this country bought up and shipped immense quantities of cheese ana batter to London ami Liverpool. Handsome profits were realized on the first shipments, which induced other and heavier supplies to be sent over. This was kept up until the English market was glutted. The news by every succeeding steamer now is that butter is "duller.*' lu fact, it is a drug in tho market. The effect in this country of these heavy shipments abroad has been to put up fifty per cent, and moro the price of butter, and we fear there will be no material decline until mid-summer or thereabouts. Except in time of war, Northern butter ?ns always regulated the price of country butter in the Richmond market, the latter being generally held at from ten to li ft cen cents higher. Six months ago the best Northern butter could be bought here for thirty cents. It is now worth sixty. Fresh country butter then worth from forty to fifty cents was yesterday sold at eighty cents. This is the highest price we recollect butter ever to havo been sold at in this market. During the period of greatest dearth during the war the highest point touched was $2(> a pound, which, according to the then value of Confederate money, was equal to about thirty-five cents in gold, and forty-five cents iu the pre? sent currency.-RicJimand Times. TEXAS.-The New Orleans Times, of the 12th inst, says Col. J. Mit? chell, formerly of Boonville, Mo., has settled in Houston, Texas. The colonel has traveled extensiY-ely over Texas during the last few months, and he gives the most cheering ac? counts concerning that State ami its people! He says that the people have stopped croaking, and both old and young ha\*e gone to work with a hearty good will ; that the crops were never more promising; that money is more plenty throughout the State than ever before; that real estate, especially in the interior, has nearly or quite doubled in price since the war; that he hits found more shrewd? ness and enterprise there than he ever before met with;that the impor? tance of completing tho New Orleans ami Texas Railroad cannot be over? estimated by the people of Texas ami New Orleans, etc. "Tho colonel is well posted, anti his opinions are worthy of being placed on record. THE RIOHTS OP MARRIED WOMEN. The New York Supreme Court has just decided an important case under their law, rn which a married woman, in business conducted by herself, had amassed the means of furnishing her house. In an action for debt against her husband by a third party, the furniture Yvas seized and a part of it sold. She claimed damages, and the full value of the furniture sohl, with interest, was awarded her. Tho de? cision of the court was in effect that the wife's property, earned by her? self, was not liable lor the husband's debts. There were formerly 700 churches in Moscow, but the Emperor Nicho? las considered this too immy ?Or a re? spectable community, and 300 were by his order torn down. Florida Syrup !
