   From the commercial review of the Houston Telegraph of the 23d we note:
   *****
   The operations of the railroad companies exhibit no marked change from the past few weeks. The New Orleans & Texas {Texas & New Orleans RR} has been delayed somewhat in laying the track on the Houston-Liberty section, by having had a large amount of iron submerged by high water. They are, however, now, we are informed, receiving iron from Galveston, via the San Jacinto river, and will continue the track-laying at once. The work of repairing the {Houston & Texas} Central railroad bridge over Clear creek is progressing, and it will be ready, we are assured, for the locomotive to pass over, early next week.
