LittleCale's,Fantastie G. Simpson Of the above, the Pen:ita filly and Remedy are doubtful; one of Kent's two will be ridden by Abdale; a second jockey is not yet decided upon. THuE DM:M.—The similarity of the jackets worryby the riders of Tom Tulloch and Grimston led us into:an error in assigning a forward position to the former; Grimston vas well up wilt lago and Fancy Boy, and Tom Tulloch must have been about tightb, certainly not nearer. Fancy Boy, we hear, is N•ery seriously injured; that he should have run so forward undor the circumstances gives cfluntenance to the opinion expressed in all quarters that, had he run on equal terms with his com -1 petitors, he could not possibly have lost. Mr. Gully and his friends win a good but not a larga stake, and the settling, unless the Oaks should disturb it, is likely to be harmless. It would have been very different had the second. or the third horse " pulled through." ERRATUM IN THY BErriNG.—The odds at starting were 8 to 1 agst Pyrrhus the First, not agst L'llirondelle colt, as marked on the card from which our report was copied. POLY FECEINIC INSTITUTION, The professor of. chemistry to this excellent establish ment is at present delivering, daily, one of the most in teresting and instructive lectures we have had the good fortune to hear for some time. He has taken for his theme the process of diving, and the modes of perform ing such sub-marine operations as are required for re moving sunken wrecks. One would have imagined that such a subject ly.d been long exhi usted, and th..t nothing retrained bat a dry rehearsal of this history of diving bells—but we were agreeablyLsarprised. In fact, Dr. Ryan has, alin4 - ,Lst beyond. any other man, th e talent of se:zi:z upon some apparently trivial and c•Jmmon place cireurnstanc,‘, and making that the basis of sound philosophical instruction. Oar limits will, of course, forbid anything like a lengthened notice of the ILetcr's very excellent lecture ; we shad, therefore, merely state that he divided the subject into two de partments, considering first the physical difficulties at i tendan: dnon diving., and, secondly, the means suggested purpose of overcoming szbLcsht most d e e e ffi l a ?n a e l c . t : e f is m e Under e l i n e ; , h , f . e o o r t i f r s t : iteeh;aedo theory f ß r y e a sp n ir g a a t v io e w filch he aptly termed the most important act of our existence. He remarked that respiration was so impor tant, that in Holy Writ , life and death are syno uymous terms.' Witness the expres sion , " A nd God breathed into his nostrils the breath of In Latin the connexion between life and death is shown in the words spiro and spir . dus, while in G ree k t hi s f i rst and last act of man's life is expressed by a word com od °flncesgasor' tthheefinrPtrortenededietd tloettexeprsla°inf.ttlire ae thNv*CertnOolluSs iaapnclopttsoileol alphabet e ft i z a l iP a h l T e h b ha l e o o a x o ni , g n n of also th pointeda i air n o converting e u that blood could not circuitte through the arterial system wlthnut I.)entriing t most deadly poison. lie den aThyxia resulti ng from suffocation, and demonstratedesbed that the cause of that condition was the preven tion of the pas:Loge of oxygen into the lungs, in order that the blood might be arterialised. Dr. Ryan then pro ceded to show that man was formed merely for breathing a gaseous atmos phere, and that, although water contained air, yet man could not separate it for respiratory purposes, as fishes do. Af:er speaking of the trained divers of the pearl fishery, the Professor proceeded to describe the . philo sophy of a diving bell—pointing of science which are involved in its . construction and use. He then gave a description of the diving . dress, which designated a locomotive d . In. h a e is h7pil t y t ; e interesting lecturer gave some scientific details, proving that unless the head and chest of the • man were protected by the protrudicg helmet, the weight of the• water would prevent him using the muscles of re spiration ; for, as the doctor stated, if the chest exposed half a square foot of surface, at a depth of 15 feet the weight on the chest would be 4501 b. We ought to men tion that the lecture was illustrated by Hurle's newly invented diving apparatus and pumps. There was also shown, for the first time publicly, a diving signal, in verted by the same gentleman, and approved by General PC:sley. Altogether, it has seldom been our lot to hear a more pleasing or a more instructive lecture.

Brown and Budd—Welsh Miners, all in favour of Narrow Gauge and Uniformity ; —General. Gordon and Burgoyne in favour of National Uniformity. Mr. Isamhard Kingdom Brunel, Engineer of the Great Western Railway; air. Charles Alexander Saunders, Secreta r y o f th e G rea t Western Railway; Mr. Seymour Clark, Manager; and Mr. Daniel Gooch, Locomotive Superintendent of the Great Western Railway, in favour of the Broad Gauge and the Break of Gauge. The Report of the Commissioners, the natural result of the evi dence—The Railway Clearing-house system explained. A Great Fact in favour of National Uniformity—Continental Philosophers, and England's Wealth—concluding Remarks—Abridgment of Evi dence, arranged under separate heads—Narrow Gauge Witnesses— Intermediate Witnesses—Broad Gauge Witnesses. POINTS ESTABLISHED BY THE EVIDENCE TAKEN BE FORE THE GAUGE COMMISSIONERS. The Broad Gauge only suitable to certain districts—this fact ad mitted by Brunel—with Broad Gauge Break of Gauge inevitable —Remedies for Break of Gauge proposed by Mr. Brunel—loose boxes—loose bodies to carriages —narrow carriages to be carried on broad trucks—Paddington lifting machine—Loose box system tried on Liverpool and Manchester Railway —at Bolton —at Erewash—at Newcastle-on-Tyne, always failed in practice—Pad • dington lifting a machine, a toy —would not answer in prac tice—a narrow carriage on broad trucks would make 200 per cent. dead weight—Evidence overwhelming in favour of Narrow Gauge and Uniformity—Obstruction, such as Break of Gauge, de feats the object of Railways and of Roads—continuous traffic. Break of Gauge prevents competition—protects great lines at public expense —obstructs tree trade at home—diversity of Gauge contrary to common sense—prejudicial to the ultimate interests of the country employing it—Broad Gauge approved by no Engineer in England or America, except its projector Mr. Brunei—Narrow Gauge supported all practical Engineers in the world—:t Gauge, eleven 'aches and a half narrower than the Narrow Gauge, found safe, economical, and profitable, between Ghent and Antwerp—Narrow Gauge En gines have taken from Gloucester loads, the Broad Gauge En gines ceuld not move—Mr. Brunel admits sixty miles an hour at tainable with perfect safety on the Narrow Gauge —more than .any Road will bear, and more than is practically accomplished on any Railway on any Gauge—Mr. Brunel has adopted Narrow Gauge on Taff Vale Railway, and on Italian Railways. Dead weight on Broad • Gauge enormous—two torts of waste weight to half a ton carried by Narrow Gauge—nine passengers in a carriage with seventy-two seats—the result, high fares and change of carriages at every June ton. Broad Gauge big trucks—no accommodation for farmers —too wide for Mining Districts—local traffic neglected on Broad Gauge lines—broad truck requires broader load to fill than small Stations can supply—more men to move than a small Station can afford. What should a Railway be ? powerful, punctual, economical, and ' swift—the Narrow Gauge can draw a thousand tons of merchandize -- the Narrow Gauge can run sixty nines an hour with passengers— the Narrow Gauge can travel through all mining districts— The Narrow Gauge can carry Vie largest loads carriers ever Fend — The Narrow Gauge goods' waggon, seven feet wide, is Wider by two feet than the widest waggon used on common roads.

AMERICAN NEWS. ARRIVAL OFTLIECAMBRIA. LIVERPOOL, THURSDAY EVENING. WAR BETWEEN THE UNITED STATES AND By the arrival here MthEisXelrCcnOin., of the Royal Mail steam-ship Cambria, commanded)Captain y Judkins, we have received New Yu rk papers to the 15th instant This splendid steam-ship has made an expeditious passage, and has brought upwards of seventy passengers. The news by this arrival will be .deemed very im portant, hostilities having commenced on the 26th of April, on the Texian frontiers, between the Mexican and United States forces, in which the Americans have suffered the loss of thirteen Billed; six wounded, and 460 taken prisoners ; in consequence of which great excitement prevailed throughout the States ; and, in New Orleans Mobile, and other cities near the seat of war, great efforts were being made to enlist men to pro ceed to the relief of General Taylor, whose position, it would appear, is deemed to be critical. At Washington also, the ferment was very great, and a Bill had passed both Houses of Congress, and received the sanction and signature of the President, appropriating 10,000,000 dollars for carrying on the war, and authorising the enrolment of militia to the number of 50,000 men, together with an augmentation of the regular forces by 7000 men. General Taylor had made requisitions on the governors of Louisiana, Alabama, Mississippi, and Texas, for reinforcements, to which Louisiana had immediately re sponded by voting 100,000 dollars. At New Orleans 1500 men wers enrolled in a few days, and 500 more were hourly expected from the vicinity, and would proceed immediately to the seat of war. This state of affairs has had a very depressing effect en the stocks, and trade generally. The Oregon question seems to be lost sight of, and the tariff for the present 13id aside. It is also doubtful whether the Sub-Tr: asury Bill will be further proceeded with at the present juncture. We subjoin the formal proclamation of war : " PROCLAMATION " OF THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES. "Whereas, thd Congress of the United States, by virtue of the constitutional authority vested in them, have declared by their act bearing date this day, that by the act of the Republic of Mexico, a state of war exists between that Government and the United States :' " Now, therefore, I, James K. Polk, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim to all whom it may concern, and I do specially enjoin on all persons holding offices, civil or mili tary, under the authority of the United States, that they be vigilant and zealous in discharging the duties respectively incident thereto. And I do, moreover, exhort all the good people of the United States, as they love their country, as they fel the wrongs which have forced on them the last resort of injured nations, and as they consult the best means nnder the blessing of Divine Providence of abridging its calamities, that they exert themselves in preserving order; in pro moting concord, in maintaining the authority and the efficacy of the laws, and in supporting and invigorating all the measures which may be adopted by the constituted authorities for attaining a speedy, a just, and, an honourable peace. " In testimony whereof, I have hereunto set my fiand, and caused the seal of the United States to be affixed to these presents. " Done at the city of Washington, this 13th day of May, 1846, and of the independence of the United States the 70th. " By the President, " JAMES K. POLK. " JAMES BUCHANAN, Secretary of State." On the 11 th ult. the President transmitted to Congress the fol lowing message:— THE PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE. - " To the Senate and House of Representatives, " The existing state of the relations between the United States and Mexico renders it proper that I should bring the subject to th consideration of Congress. In my message at the commencement o. your prese.:t session, the state of these relations, the causes which led to the suspension of diplomatic intercourse between the two countries in Match, 1845, and the long continued and unredressed wrongs and injuries committed by the Mexican Government on citi zens of the United States in their persons and property, ware briefly set forth. " As the facts and opinions which were then laid before you were carefully considered, I cannot better express my present convictions of the condition of affairs up to that time than by referring you to that communication. " The strong desire to establish peace with Mexico, on liberal and honourable terms , and the readiness of this Government to regulate and adjust our boundary, and other causes of difference with that power, on such fair and equitabit principles as would lead to perma nent relations .of the most friendly nature, induced me in September last to seek the re-opening of diplomatic relations between the two countries. Every measure adopted on our part had for its object the furtherance of those desired results. In communicating to Congress a succinct statement of the injuries which we had suffered from Mexico, and which have been accumulating during a period of more than twenty years, every expression that could tend to inflame the people of Mexico, or defeat or delay a pacific result, was carefully avoided. An Envoy of the United States repaired to Mexico with full powers to adjust every existing difference. Bat though present on the Mexican soil, by agreement of the two Governments, invested with full powers, and bearing evidence of the most friendly disposi tions, his mission has been unavailing. The Mexican Government not only refused to receive him, or listen to his propositions, but, after a long-continued series of menaces, have at last invaded our territory, and shed the blood of "cur fellow-citizens on our own soil. It now becomes my duty to state more in detail the origin, pro gress, and failure ofthat mission. In pursuance of the instructions given in September last, an inquiry was made on the 13th of October, 1,45, in the most friendly terms through our Consul in Mexico, of the Minister of Foreign Affairs, whether the Mexican Government . would receive an Envoy from the United States intrusted with full powers to adjust all the questions in dispute bet seen the two Go vernments; with the assurance that 'should the answer be in the affirmative, such an Envoy should be immediately dispatched to Mexico.' The Mexican Minister, on the 15th of October, gave an affirmative answer to this inquiry, requesting at the same time that our naval force at Vera Cruz might be withdrawn, lest its continued presence might assume the appearance of menace and coercion pend ing the negotiations. This force was immediately withdrawn. On the 10th of November, 1845, Mr. John Slidell, of Louisiana, was commissioned by me as Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary of the United States of Mexico, and was intrusted with full powers to adjust both the questions of the Texas boundary and of indemnification to our citizens. The re dress of the wrongs of our citizens naturally and inseparably blended itself with the question of boundary. The settlement of the one question in any correct view of the subject involves that of the other. I could not for a moment entertain the idea that the claims of our much-injured and long-suffering citizens, many of wlith had existed for more than 20 years, should be postponed or separated from the settlement of the boundary question. " Mr. Slidell arrived at Vera Cruz on the 30th of November, and was courteously received by the authorities of that city. But the Government of General Herrera was then tottering to its fall. The revolutionary party had seized upon the Texas question to effect or hasten its overthrow. Its determination to restore friendly relations with the United States, and to receive our Minister to negotiate for the settlement of this question, was violently assailed, and was made the great theme of denunciation against it. The Government of General Herrera, there is good reason to believe, was sincerely de sirous to receive our Minister; but it yielded to the storm raised by its enemies, and on the 2lst of December refused to accredit Mr. Slidell upon the most frivolous pretexts. These are so fully and ably exposed hi the note of Mr. Slide'l of the 24th of December last to the Mexican Minister of Foret.4n Relations, herewith transmitted, that I deem it unnecessary to enter into further detail on this poi* • tion of the subject. Five days after the date of Mr. Slidell's note, General Herrer yielded the government to General Paredes without a struggle, and on the 30th of December resigned ills Presidency. This revolution was accomplished solely by the army, the people having taken little part in the contest , and thus the supreme power in Mexico passed into the hands of a military leader. " Determined to leave no effort untried to effect an amicable ad justment with Mexico, I directed Mr. Slidell to present his creden tials to the Government of General Paredes, and ask to be officially received by him. There would have been less ground for taking this step had General Paredes come into power by a regular constitutional succession, In that event his /administration would have been con sidered but a mere constitutional continuance of the Government of General Herrera; and the refusal of the latter t 3 receive our Minister would have been deemed conclusive, unless an intimation had been given by General Paredes of his desire to reverse the decision of his predecessor " But the Government Of General Paredes owes its existeve to a military revolution, by which the subsisting constitutional autho rities had been subverted. The form of government was entirely changed, as well as all the high functionaries by whom it was ad ministered. " Under these circumstances, Mr. Slidell, in obedience to my di rection, addressed a note to the Mexican Minister of Foreign Rela tions, under date of the Ist of March last, asking to be received by that Government in the diploma:lc character to which he had been appointed. This Minister, in his reply, under date of the 12th of March, reiterated the arguments of his predecessor, and in terms that may be considered as giving just grounds of offence to the Go- vernmeta and people of the United States, denied the application of Mr. Slidell. Nothing, therefore, remained for our Envoy but to de mand his passports and return to his own country. Thus the Government of Mexico, though solemnly pledged by official acts in October last to receive and accredit an American Envoy, violated their plighted faith, and refused the offer of a-peace ful adjustment of our difficulties. Not only was the offer rejected, but the indignity of its rejection was enhanced by the manifest breach of faith in refusing to admit the Envoy, who came because they had bound themselves to rec?ive him. Nor can it be said that the offer was fruitless from the want of opportunity of discussing it; our Envoy was present on their own soil. Nor can it be ascribed to a want of sufficient powers ; our EnVoy had full powers to adjust every question of difference. Nor was there room for complaint that our propositions for settlement were unreasonable; permission was , Nor can even given our Envoy to make any proposition whatever. or can it be objected that we, on our part, would not listen to any rea sonable terms of their suggestion ; the 3 fexican Government ref use d all negotiation, and have made no proposition of any hind. " In my message at the commencement of the present session, I informed you that upon the earnest appeal both of the Congress and Convention of Texas, I had ordered an efficient military force to take a position between the Nueces and the Del Norte. This had become neccssat y to meet a threatened invasion of Texas by the Mexican forces, for which extensive military preparations had been made. The Invasion was threatened solely because Texas had determined, In accordance with a solemn resolution of the Congress of the United States, to annex herself to our Union; and, under these circum stances, it was plainly our duty to extend our protection over her ci tizens and soil. " Th!s force was concentrated at Corpus Christi, and remained there until after I had recei ve d suc h i n f ormat i on from Mexico as rendered it probable, if not cert a i n , th a t the M exican Governmentwould re fuse to receive our Envoy. " Meantime, Texas, by the final action of our Congress, had beatalts an integral part of our Union. The Congress of Texas, by its act er December 19, 1836, hag declared the Rio del Norte to be the bountlar:.• of that republic. Its jurisdiction had been extended and exercised beyond the Nueces. The country between that river and the Del Norte had been represented in the Congress and in the COIIVOIt ion of Texas, had thus taken part in the act of annexation itself, and is now included within one of our Congressional districts. Our Congress had, moreover, with great unanimity, by the act approved December 21, 1845, recognised the country beyond the Nueces as a part of our territory, by including It within our revenue system t and a revenue officer, to reside withhi that district, has been ap pointed by and with the advice and consent of the Senate. It be c • me, therefore, of urgent necessity to provide for the defence of that portion of cur country. Accordingly, on the 13th day of Ja nuary last, instructions were issued to the Generals in command of these troops to occupy the left bank of the Del Norte. This river, which Is the south-western boundary of the State of Texa , , is en exposed frontier. From this quarter invasion INT. 3 threatened i upon it and its immediate vicinity, in the judgment of high military ex perience, are the proper stations for the protecting forces of the crGo vernment. In addition to this important consideration, several e oL es occurred to induce this movement. Among these are the l' ,o l `b l el afforded by the ports of Brazos Santiago and the mouth ' Norte, for the reception of supplies by sae, the stronger and more a ready healthful military poeitions, the convenience for obtai fuel, ll l and forage, and it mere abundant supply of provisions, water, and the advantages which are afforded by the Del Ntoitlu forwardiug supplies to such posts as may be established in the the Indian frontier. Interior and upon " The movement of the troops to the Dal Norte Iva made boy allythee goom: mending Gener...l, under positive -abstainlnstructionsto from gressive acts towards Mexico or Mexican United States as peaceful, war, citizens,_ and to regard the relations bete een that reublic and tiro - U unless she should d ec l are or commitactjtsto p ofl r i e o t s e t e il t indicative p ity ilavte of a state of war . Il e was spec i a lly direet pro perty and respect personal rights. " The army moved from C o rpus Christi on the filth of March, and on the 28th of that month arrived on the left bank of the Del Norte, opposite to Matamoros, where it encamped oit a commanding post- . ten, Which has since been strengthened by the erection of Dela works. A depot has also been established at Point Isabel, n(ar.th3 Brazos Santiago, 30 miles in the. rear of the encampment. The seleo. tion of this position was necessarily confided to the judgment of the General in corammd. " The-Mexican forces at Ifatamoras assumed a hellgorcnt at titade, mid on the 12th of April Gen. Aran td a, then in cominand, tiotifled Gen. Taylor to break up his camp within 24 hours, and to retire be yond the. liver. awl in the event of his failurc to comply with these demands, announced that arms, and arms abate, must lIC i:le flit cuestlem. Ilut no open act of heAility was uuunit!ed until tilt: 2 th April.

Had we acted - with vigour in repelling the insults and redres.thig the injuries inflicted by Mexico at the commencement, we should doubtless have escaped all the difficulties in which we are now involved. " Instead of this, however, we have been exerting our best efforts to propitiate her good will. Upon the pretext that Texas, a nation as independent as herself, thought proper to unite its destinies with our own, She has affected to believe that we have severed her rightful territory, and, in official proclamations and manifestoes, has repeat- , edly threatened to make war upon us for the purpose of reconquering Texas. In the meantime we have tried every effort at reconellia- tion. The cup of forbearance has been exhausted, even before the resent Information from the frontier of the Del Norte.

"Anticipating theposaibilitkofit dries 171te tliat - Nfillehttas instructions wers given in August last, 'ass precautionary measure,' against invasion, or threatened invasion, authorising General Taylor, if the emergency reqhired, to'accept volunteers, not from Texas only, but from the states of Louisiana, Alabama, Mississippi, Tennessee, and Keniecky ; and corresponding letters were addressed to the re spective governors of those states. These instractione were repeated, and in January last soon after the incorporation of Texas ir to our union 01 States,' General Taylor was further authorised ty the Pre sident to make a requisition upon the executive of that state for such of its militia force as may be needed to repel invasion or to secure the country against apprehended invasion.' On the 2.1 day of March he was again reminded, in the event of the approach of any con siderable Mexican force, promptly and efficiently to use the authority with which he was clothed to call to hi:n such auxiliary force es he might nee,l: War actually existing, and our territory having been Invaded, General Taylor, persuant to authority vested in him, by my direction, has called on the Governor of Texas for four regi ments of State troops—two to be mounted, and two to serve on foot; and on the Governor of Louisiana for four regiments of infantry, to be sent to him as soon as practicable. " In further vindication of our rights and defence of our territory, I invoke tile prompt action of Congress to recognise the existence of the war, and place at the disposition of the Executive the means of prosecuting the war with vigour; and thus hasten the restoration of peace. To this end I recommend that authority should. be given to call into public service a large body of volunteers, to serve for not less than six or twelve months, unless sooner discharged. A volun teer force is, beyond question, more efficient than any ether descrip tion of citizen soldiers; and it Is not to be doubted that a number far beyond that required would 1 eadily rush to the field upon the call of their country, I further recommend that a liberal provision be made for sustaining our entire military force, acd furnishing it with sap plies and munitions of war. " The most ene:getic and prompt measures, and the immediate appearance in arms of a large and overpowering force, are recom mended to Congress as the most certain and efficient means of bring ing the existing collision with Mexico to a speedy and successful termination. "In making these recommendations, I deem it proper to declare' that it is my anxious desire not only to terminate hostilities speedily, but to bring all matters in dispute between this Government and Alexico to an early and amicable adjustment; and in this view I Shall be prepared, to renew negotiations whenever Mexico shall be ready to receive propositions or to make propositions of her own. " I tranzmit herewith a copy of the correspondence between our Envoy to Mexico and the Mexican Minister fur Foreign Affairs; and so much of the correspondence between that Envoy and the Secre tary of State, and between the Secretary at War and the General in command on the Del Norte, as are necessary to a f',lll understand, of the sultject. " JAMES K. POLK. " Washington. May 11th, 1846." LATER FROM THE SEAT OF WAR. - Z , ItEPORT THAT POINT ISABEL HAS BEEN TAKEN BY THE MEXICANS. PHILADELPHIA, THURSDAY, 7 P.M. —The editors of the Baltimore Sun have received the following dispatch from their Washington cor respondent by telegraph, which contains items of verLal information from Point Isabel of considerable interest. The following intelligence received at Washington by the Southern Mail was transmitted to Baltimore by telegraph, and thence by letter to this city by mall. I have conversed with Mr. It. J. Ogdm, a sutler attached to the United States army, who hvs this moment arrived in a southern boat. lie left Point Isabel on the 28th ult. There were then about 3.50 men at that port who could be depended on. The armament consisted of two 18-pounders, nine 6-pounders, and every man had a musket. The Point was surrounded by a ditch four feet deep and six wide. They were digging to make it twelve feet wide and six deep. Point Isabel was completely cut off from the army, having had no communication for two days. The guides started from tha Point to the camp, but were compelled to return, The very latest advices left no doubt that General Taylor was com pletely surrounded. No danger is apprehended, however, to our gallant hand, except ftom starvation, they being strongly entrenched. It is said that a more gallant officer than Gh,meral T4yler nevsr The supposition was that the Texa: 1414,1Arj.fr A n Galveston, by the steamer Monmouth, would be thlt Aok - t6iCh l'olnt Companies from Fort Pilee, H. F. T. Wood, under command of Colonel B. K. Pierce, of Ist Artillery, and companies F. Infantry, from Jefferson Barracks, were to leave N. C. on the Gth (Wednesday wee'.:), and would probably reach Feint Isabel In 70 hours. Captain Thornton and Lieutenant Mason were still missing, with out any information as to their safety. Up to the evening the last express left the camp there were no tidings of them then, and none since. The Propeller Florida was expected to be the next to reach New Orleans. It is said that Governor Edwards of New Orleans arrived here this evening direct from Mobile, and states that it is currently reported, and believed there, that Point Isabel is captured. PO3T3CRIPT.—We have the advlces to the 2d of May, and then Point Isabel was safe, but the letter gives no further particulars. This comprises :A of the slightest interest, with the exception of military movements at the south, that has been received by the mail. STILL FITRTfIEIt FROM THE SEAT OF WAR I (From the New York Daily Tribune.) The Nem Orleans Tropic of the 7th has Galveston dates to the 2d by the Telegraph at that port. She left Galveston on Sunday, 3d inst., at noon. At 4r. 14. steam-ship New York about 50 miles from Galveston. The Cirilian of the 2d says :—We understand the U. S. sehr. Flirt was endeavouring to get over the bar into Brazos St. lago, in order to co-operate mere ef f ectually in the defence of the depot and posi tion at the mouth cf the river. Captain Symoton, of the Alert, was assisting in the object, having taken off some of the Flirt's guns in order to reduce her draught of water. The steamer Monmouth left on Friday, the Ist instant, for Brazos St. lago, with a number of volunteers for the army under General Taylor. The short time of her stay was not sufficient for many, who desired to go, to get ready, but others will doubil6s soon follow. General Johnson has just reached town. llc is a soldier in whom our citizens have confidence as a leader, and can doubtless raise a company or two in Galveston. I doubt not a general and immediate turn out of the har.:y and experienced soldiers of Western Texas, to be followed by the whole state as rapidly as the occasion which de mands their services shall become known. General Taylor has not cried wool: until he has seen the aOtnal, and those who go need not fear disappointment in findi ,, g the wily beast, as ample opportunity will doubtless present Itself to those who desire to eo so, on the other fide of the Rio Grande if not on this.
