W. F. SPACKMAN. AMERICAN NEWS. ARRIVAL of the GREAT BRITAIN. IMPORTANT FROM MEXICO. CAPTURE OF MATAMORAS, AND 15LOCICADE OF VERA CRUZ, BY THE AMERICANS. (From our Liverpool Correspondent.) LIVERPOOL, MONDAY. The steam. ship Great Britain, Captain Hosken, arrived here this morning, after a rapid passage of thirteen days and a quarter from. New York. She sailed from that city at three o'elock on the Bth, passed Sandy Hook in two hours, and arrived off the N.W. Light ship, at Liverpool, this morning, at four o'clock. She brings forty-five passengers, all of whom were delighted with the easy and beautiful voyage of this noble ship. Captain Hosken, when off Liverpool, was presented with a complimentary address, signed by all his passengers. Just before the Great Britain got away from New York, a special messenger arrived there with dispatches from Mr. Pakenham, at Washington. Shortly after the Great Britain arrived, Captain llosken started for London with these dispatches, which are said to be of an important character. Our advices by this arrival contain accounts from Mexico down to the 16th, from Vera Cruz to the 20th, and from New Orleans to the 31st ; and the principal feature of interest which this arrival affords is that the Americans had, without resistance, invested Matamoras, and that the port of Vera Cruz was under a rigid blockade by the American squadron. The accounts by this arrival state that on the 17th ult. a large portion of General Taylor's army moved up the river for the purpose of crossing, General Taylor remaining at the fortification with about 300 men. As the army were seen by the Mexicans on the opposite side to leave the encamp ment and approach the ford, Arista sent a flag of truce to General Taylor, requesting an armistice for six weeks ; giving as a reason for his request, that he desired to communicate with his Government. General Taylor answered that he would give bins till eight o'clock the next morning to evacuate r the city of Mate moms, and would permit him to take the public property under his charge. The flag then returned. On the next day, the 18th ult., the army crossed on flats of their own construction, and the bodies of waggons caulked. The passage was made about four miles above Fort Brown. On arriving at the city it was discovered that Arista with his forces had departed,leaving only the mounted batteries. All the mortars and such of the military apparatus as could not be moved, in their haste to escape, were thrown into the wells. A party from the American army went out to recon noitre immediately after the entrance into Matamoras, and overtook a party of the retreating Mexicans, twenty-two Of whom were made prisoners. It is understood that Arista's head- quarters were at SanFernnado, about ninetymiles distant from Matamoras. Of the United States squadron, lately off the Rio Grande, the Cumberland flag-ship, Raritan, St. Mary's, Lawrence, and Somers, had gone to Pensacola to refit. The Mexican soldiers, it is said, refused to defend Matamoras against the American army, having had no rations served out to them for five days. Commander Conner, as the report went at the seat of war, intended to take down with him, in his contem plated attack on San Juan de Ulloa, two or three line-of battle ships with the squadron he is refitting at Pensacola. According to the accounts thus received, it appears that the Mexicans are straining every nerve to carry on the war, and Paredes will probably continuer to do so, till perhaps he hears of the severe defeats his troops have suffered at the hands of the Americans, in order to sustain his administra tion. To do this, he has resorted to extraordinary measures to replenish the national treasury, by extorting from the people and the clergy. Paredes reached his present position by inflaming the minds of the Mexicans against the 'United States; and as he acquired power by promising to enter into a war, for the purpose of recovering the depart ment of Texas, there is no doubt that he will do his utmost to protract it as long as he can, or until a new revolution shall break out, which places some other man in his place. Our advices from New Orleans are to the 30th, given in the Commercial Times. The barque Thaleus, Captain Murrell, from Vera Cruz, arrived in New Orleans on the 30th ult., with papers from the city of Mexico to the 15th, and from Vera Cruz to the 20th ult. We learn that the United States steam frigate Mississippi arrived at Vera Cruz on the 18th, with the news of the bril liant battles of the Bth and 9th ult. The greatest care was taken to keep it from the Mexi cans, yet the fact leaked out. The port of Vera Cruz has been rigidly blockaded by the steam frigate Mississippi and sloop of year Falmouth. The frigate Raritan was hourly expected to join the Mississippi and Falmouth. The Mexican Government had annulled the powers of the American. Consuls, Orders had been received from the city of Mexico, directing all Americans to leave Vera Cruz by the 24th ult. Mr. Dimond, the American consul, was preparing to go on board one of the United States vessels of war. It was generally thought that the American vessels left in port, the barque Louisiana and the brig Helen McLeod, would be seized by the Mexicans. The contractor of supplies for the American squadron had been forbidden by the Vera Cruz authorities, to furnish them. The Thaleus was boarded off the harbour of Vera Cruz by the United States sloop Falmouth, and a letter bag sent by her. The brig St. Pctersburgh sailed on the 19th for Now York. The Republican, of the city of Mexico, of the 13th, says that the intention of the Government was to send their war steamers Guadeloupe and Montezuma to Havannah to be sold at auction. On arriving at the latter port, the steamers were to hoist the Mexican flag and fire a salute. The Mexican sailors refused to sail under these conditions, and the steamers were to leave the river Alvarado, where they had been laid up in ordinary under the British flag, and commanded by a British officer. They have since arrived at Havannah. We have been permitted to make the following extract from a letter received from a highly respectable Mexican house in this city : ROYAL POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTION A New and Interesting LECTURE, by Dr. Ryan, on the PHENOMENA and EEFECTN of HEAT and COI.

These interesting little volumes, although bearing upon subjects of very delicate import, as their titles imply, will be found of immea surable and general utility, for they tell of matters every living crea ture able to understanl ought to know, but which information in those enlightened times, except that quality promulgated through questionable channels, is a very terrible discount. In the exposition hereby offered of the till now hidden truths of nature, of human disappointments and their ways of relief, it is not contended that every reader shall become his or her own physician any more than their own lawyer, but it is insisted upon that we should know the simple principles of our owu organization, the laws whereby our existence and the issue thereof in their several healthy states depend, the duties that are expected of us in our individual capacities in the family circle, and the terms on which the health and happiness of the present and future race of mankind have to rely. By such knowledge, and which is herein faithililly imparted, health will be found to be in our own keeping, and happiness within the attainment of all ; by the availment hereof in fulfilling our duty to ourselves, we secure the like advantages on our offspring to follow, and finally by the cultivation of our faculties, which is in consistent with degenerate health, the mind as well as the body may be exalted to the summit of perfection, as best becomes the highest of God's creations. The author's justification for this seeming eulogy of his own writ ings, and the avowal of their integrity of purpose, must be measured by their perusal—his accredited qualifications guarantee that the topics broached involve his legitimate study and pursuit.

Vera Cruz, May 19, 1846. A circular has been issued by the Government, stating that all American Consuls cease immediately from being recognise', and ordering all American citizens to embark for the interior within eight days. The steamer Mississippi yesterday ordered off a vessel from the poet, but she came in during the night—thus proving the port to be blockaded, at least to national vessels, a step which has generally compro mised the American ves sels in the harbour , and we are very much afraid, that we shall not be allowed to dispatch the Thaleus. The Government is making every effort to carry out the war with success, and has replenished the treasury by carry ing through some very strong measures. The castle of San Juan d'Ulloa and the city are in an ex cellent state of defence, and would require a very strong force to be successfully attacked. The Reputlicano of the city of Mexico contains an article against the Government, in which it animadverts upon the actual state of the country, attacked as it is by a strong enemy and with a prospect of a local revolution, it avers that in case of a revolution, the troops engaged in repelling the enemy would be ordered to act in support of either one party or the other, claiming a local supremacy as a proof of the discipline and manner in which the Mexican troops are trained by their officers. Jon Jose Maria has been named as the Governor of Chi huahua in the defeat of Sonora. The Apache Indians have attacked the town of Apo 10, where they killed thirty- two Mexicans, the Indians stealing everything they could lay their hands upon. The Apaches are uniformed in a broadcloth frock covered with red Lacing, and pantaloons of the same stuff with caps, and they are fitted with rides. The whole department is in a dreadful state of misery and consternation. Several robberies on a large scale have been lately com mitted in the city of Mexico and its neighbourhood. In speaking of the American army, a dispatch from the Mexican commandant of the engineers at Matamoras says— " The American army is not more than 4,000 strong, and is in a state of demoralisation ; that there is no union among them, without any desire for glory; that its officers are good, but then there are many of them who have come to fight against their will. If we have no local revolution, the Ame rican army will either capitulate, or be entirely defeated in twenty days." The exports from Vera Cruz in the month of April amounted to 241,356 dols., of which 195,127 dols. was in specie.

We extract the following from the money article of the New York Courier and Enquirer, of the Sth instant : NEW YORK, SATURDAY NIGHT, JUNE 6. The course of events since the departure of the last steamer has been mai ked by little of importance. The war in Mexico goes on prosperously for the American arms, and the disorganization of the American forces seems complete. On the 19th ult., General Taylor took possession of Mata moros without encountering any resistance, and, in like manner, the operations of the column below on the right bank of the ricer have been unimpeded since it entered the small town of Barrita. We have no tidings yet of any blockade of the Mexican ports having been declared or instituted, but are in daily expectation of an official notification thereof. Meantime, while the American squadron had gone from Vera Cruz to the mouth of the Rio Grande, or rather to Brazos St. lago, in order to aid General Taylor, the two Mexican steamers, Montezuma and Gandaloupe' took advantage of their ab sence to slip out under English colours and reach Havannah. Their right to hoist English colours would certainly have been questioned if they had been fallen in with by our cruisers. The impression seems very general since the arrival of the Hibernia, that Mr. Pakenham has received instructions for a prompt and amicable termination of . the Oregon contro. both ver nations.result tntElo al d nidreoe s h i pv,a r e e si d ta , ibti N oe v eip e lntr a ipc i n. ) : p lsyo r r e pse l rl i te e sva n tcan d tii , rin‘ l e y e,gi Our money and produce markets were very little affected andn o b 3- any considerable a the d \ -l a i n h t eargnei advantageous u ' S s salesa shipment advance; and the prices here yet range too high to allow of there at the latest date.

For a small loan of between three and four hundred thousand dollars at five per cent., needed by this State to pay off some balances due to contractors on the public works, no bids were made on the,terms required by the notice, five per cent. and not below par. This is not surprising, considering that the actual value of money is great just now and the general expectation; if She war with Mexico continue any time, that the United States Government will need loans on which a higher interest will be offered. A preference more. over is given to the Stocks of the United States over that of any State. An attempt is to be made next week to call up and pass the Bill in the House of Representatives for modifying the tariff. Its success must be considered doubtful, seeing that the results to the Treasury have been very advantageous without obvious injury to any other interest. At a moment when all the resources of revenue are needed, it does not seem probable, that on grounds of !nerdy speculative evil and theoretical inequality and oppressiveness, a con gress of practical men will enter on the experiment of altering a law, that furnishes such ample supplies to the Exchequer.

The twelfth annual meeting of the Proprietors of the Bank of Australasia was held yesterday, at their office, 8, Austin friars, Alderman Sir George Carroll in the chair. The usual preliminaries having been gone through, The SECRETARY proceeded to read the following report : " 1. The directors regret, that in presenting their twelfth annual report to the proprietors, they are unable t o make any satisfactory statement of their proceedings for the past year. " 2. Although the agricultural interests of the Australasian colonies, from the increased prices of land and stock, have very much improved, trade generally has been limited in ex tent; the amount of unemployed capital has still further re duced the value of money; and the profit arising from Ex change operations, hitherto productive of much advantage, has, from untoward causes in the past year, been greatly diminished. " 3 The Proprietors are aware that, during the past year, the debt owing by the Bank of Australia has been the sub ject of two most irksome and expensive trials. On the first trial, the jury were discharged, from being unable to agree on a verdict. On the second trial (which was a trial at bar), the justice of our claim was completely established, so fas as such object could be obtained by the verdict of a jury : the Court, at the same time, expressing their opinion, that the entire sum claimed by us, had gone in reduction of the debts of the Bank of Australia • and that the conduct of our superintendent, Mr. Hart, had, throughout his transac tions with that bank, been straightforward and creditable to him. "4. The legal objection taken on the first trial, namely, that the directors of the Bank of Australia had no power to borrow, was again urged on' the second trial, and the ma jority of the Court agreeing in that objection, the verdict was taken in such a way, that the question might be raised on appeal before the Privy Council. " 5. The directors, on hearing the result of the new trial, took immediate steps for hastening the appeal proceedings before the Privy Council ; and the proprietors may be as sured that every exertion will be made to bring the matter to the earliest possible termination. The directors are con firmed in their hopes of ultimate success by the honest view taken of their case by the jury, and by the renewed opinions of the eminent counsel consulted by them in this country as to their right to recover. " 6. The directors now present, as usual, a statement of the accounts for the year ending the 13th of October, 1845 : The Balance of Bad-debt Fund, on the 14th of October, 1844 Received since, on Debts considered irre- 444 13 2 coverable The Rest, or Undivided Profit on the 14th of October, 1844, amounted to 102,96G 7 10 To which are now to be added the profits realised both in the colonies and in Lon don, to theJ3th of October, 1845, after de fraying alI expenses of management in curred £149,807 0 7 Deduct therefrom the following payments to the proprietors, viz.:— April dividend, 1845... £27,000 0 0 October dividend, 1845 13,500 0 0 40,500 0 0 Leaving the sum of £109,307 0 7 applicable to the payment of dividends, and to meet bad debts. But when the directors look to the diminished profits for the past year, to the further development of losses, and to the heavy additional expenditure incurred by the legal proceedings in the suit against the Bank of Australia, they feel that they arc best consulting the future prosperity and standing of the corporation, by declaring their intention to suspend for the present the payment of dividends. 7. The directors have come to this conclusion after much consideration, and with feelings of deep regret; at the same time they are convinced, that under the circumstances above detailed, and more especially with reference to the restric tions of the charter, the proprietors will be satisfied that no other course was open to them, and they may rest assured that it will be a matter of sincere congratulation to the di rectors to find, that such suspension should be of short duration.

THE LATE MYSTERIOUS SUlClDE. — Yesterday Mr. W. Carter concluded an inquiry at the Royal Oak, Granby street, Waterloo-road, Lambeth, on the body of Thomas Avery, aged 28 years, who died under very mysterious cir cumstances, some particulars of which appeared in The Sun ' a few days ago. Emma Avery, of the King's Head Hotel , Lymington, Hampshire, stated that the deceased was her brother. He was valet to a gentleman at Southampton, but had recently left his situation. He had left home about four weeks since, and had not been seen since. The family were not aware that he was in London. When he left home he had 401. in notes, which he had taken out of the bank. He was quite a stranger in London, and had never been ina townth, before. Mr. J. Sewell, surgeon, of Lower Marsh, deposed to making an analysis c ontents mbe of the of the stomach, and was satisfied that the deceased died from the effects of oxalic acid taken into the stomach. Other a verdict that evi dence having li fe with poison, but in been adduced, the jury returned "The deceased destroyed his own what state of mind he was in at the time t h ere was no evi dence to prove."

The first rac e on t h e list is for the Produce Stakes, 'destined for one of the Lanercost breed, which I cannot say, probably Mr. Brooks's. For the North Derby Stakes a crack field of six may b e expected tolshow. To odk at the Derby running of Sir Tatton Sykes, anybody would give the race to him for a dead certainty, but the field is good and may beat him, which, if it does, Fancy Boy will.ba the nag to do it. The Tyro Stakes for two-year olds will probably_ go to Mr' Jaques with Dipthong, or Mr. Hesseltine with bLeU Stewart. The 10 Soya. Stakes, for Hunters, a very open race, lays be tween Tom Tough, Maid of Auckland, and Dog Billy, the last the best. On Wednesday the racing c ommences with the Northumberland Plate, a very sorry handicap, the for certainty fa vourite a specimen of it.

THE SPIRIT OF THE TURF • HENLE Y REGATTA. (FROM A CORRESPONDENT.) For the Grand ,Challenge Cup there are three boats en tered, viz., Eton and WeAminster crew; Oxf o rd Cuiversity Thames Club, London; the BLick Prince. Ist"frirfity, Cam bridge. .The first named of these r select as the winner for this race : neither of the other crews; in my opinion, having A chance wittfa Unirersity crew. The race for the "Ladies' COI)" will undoubtedly be a very exciting one, as the champions of both the Isis and the Cam . are opposed to each other on thi s oc casion. These two boats,' v The Child of Hale, Brazenose, Oxford ; and the Black Prince, Ist Trinity. Cambridge; together with a crack crew from London, compose"the entry for this prize. The Oxford boat I will easily dispose of; for I'do not think they will make much figure in the race. The race must therefore be between the Cambridge and London crews; and a downright good race my readers •may rest assured it will be, with a well-earned victory for either. The " Stewards .; Cup" I will award to the Guy's Club crew, London, which I fancy will show itself to be a much superior boat to their opponents.. My attention is next directed to the "Silver Sculls ;" and for this there are four entries. Messrs. Peacock - and'Cloves will have a nice spin together, which, I fancy, will terminate in favour of the latter. _ . . For the " Saver Wherries" ten entries appear on paper, containing sonic first-rate .oars.. Of tliF Oxford boats I imagine the two following pairs will distinguish . themselves most, viz., Milman and laggard, Christ Church ; Conant St. John's, and. Stapylton Merton. The latter for choice ; to neither of these will I give the prize. I must again look to the Cans to furnish the winner, and do therefore name Messrs. Wolstcnholme and Vincent, First Trinity, as my champions for this race. My humble opinion is that, if the day is calm (fur it must be remembered they are a light winning erew ' p many Me o 7 t rs.Mrolstenholme and S. Vincent will reach the seconds before their opponents. RAILWA Y GAUGE. Copy Patentof lajorG Sectionale n er ai Transferabler asl Railway eys Reor t Carriages Captain arriages P fo o r wll's car rying Goods, either on the Broad or Narrow Gauge. TO Till RIGHT HONOURABLE THt: EARL DALHOUSIE, Ece• &Q. &e; . • Railway Department, Board of Trade, Whitehall, May 8, 1846. Lord,—Captain Powell, of the Grenadier Guards, called upon me to- day with models and drawings to explain the pa tent sectional transferable railway carriages proposed by him for conveying goods on railways, which consist of covered boxes, or bodies, two of which placed lonitudinally will fit upon a truck or under-carriage, having tw% pairs of wheels suited to the narrow gauge, whilst three such bodies placed transversely, will fit upon a truck having three pairs of wheels suited to the broad gauge of the Great Western Railway. He proposes that these bodies shall be conveyed from the ware-• houses of manufacturers and others, previously packed by the owners themselves, on common carriage-frames with four wheels drawn by horses, and that when, they arrive at a rail ' way station they shall be transferred to the truck belonging to whichever gaugers used thereon •, and under the supposition of their making a journey on a line commencing with one of these gauges, and arriving at a station where there is a break of gauge, they may be transferred from the trucks-of a nar row gauge line to those of a broad gauge one, or vice versa, at a crossing of the two lines made for the purpose, from whence they can be turned into the new direction required, by means of common turntables. This arrangement will re quire the owners of goods to provide themselves with car riage-frames', and movable bodies for the purpose, and will also require new trucks to be fitted for railway use to receive such bodies. The latter are proposed to be moved by means of small pulleys from one carriage, or railway truck, to another, guided by little rails, and are kept in position by movable ends and sides, first to be let down, and afterwards turned up and pinned, whilst they are prevented from jump ing by dovetailed grooves, which in the small models exhi bited by the inventor, admit of those movable bodies being turned upside down without their falling off: He considers that it would be very advantageous for the Government to have carriages and movable bodies of this description for gunpowder and other stores, as well as for the baggage of troops. , Very great accuracy would be required in all the fitments proposed by him, which are very ingenious, but as to how far they might answer in railway practice I cannot venture to give an opinion. I recommended him to apply to some railway company to give his invention a trial, which he says he has done by reference to the Great Western. He wished me to recommend it, which I declined, as 1 informed him it had been the rule of this department not to urge the adop tion of untried inventions involving expense by any railway company; but that I would report to your Lordship upon it, which I now do. It would be difficult to explain more than the general principle of Captain Powell's arrangements by words, even with the aid of drawings; but should your Lordship wish to form a clear idea of them, the models prepared by him will enable you to understand them thoroughly.—l have, &c.
