TIIE DERBY.—The similarity of the jackets worn by the riders of Tom Tulloch and Grimston led us into:an error in assigning a forward position to the former; Grimston was well up with hp . and Fancy Boy, and Tom Tulloch must have been about eighth, certainly not nearer. Fancy Boy, we hear, is very seriously injared ; that he should have run so forward uuder the circumstances gives countenance to the opinion expressed in all quarters that, . had he run on equal terms with his com petitors, . he could not possibly have lost. Mr. Gully and his ftiends win a good but not a large stake, and the settling, unless the Oaks should disturb it, is likely to be harthless.

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 taker. for his theme the process of diving, and the modes of perform ing such sub-marine operations as are required for re moving stinker( wrecks. One would have imagined that such a subject had been long exhausted, and that nothing remained but a dry rehearsal of this history of diving bells—but we were agreeably, surprised. In fact, Dr. Ryan has, almost beyond any othar man, th e talent of seizing u p on some apparently trivial and common place circumstance, and making that the basis of sound philosophical instruction. Our of course, forbid anything like a lengthened notice of the Doctor's very excellent lecture ; we shall, therefore, merely state that he divided the sub j ect into two de partments, considering fit the physical difficulties at tendant upon diving, and, secwidly, the mea n s sugges t e d by the ingenuity o f man , forrthe , urpose of overcoming such difficulties. Under the ii ,ead Dr. Ryan gave a most clear and concise view of . t , g.theory of respiration, which he aptly termed the ino#.4dip . ortant act of our existence. He remarked that respm tion was soimpor tant, that in Holy Writ, life and death are syno nymous terms.

The Professor then proceeded to explain the not l O i o n x o g cl y e , g ai r a e cm t e i u d ol a e s a tt f l e s w bFo h d o e u r e t t i : asnhyxia resulting from suffocation, and demonstrated that the cause of that condition was the preven tion of the pas'age of oxygen into the lungs, in order that the blood might be arterialised. Dr. Ryan then proceeded to show that MU 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. After speaking of' the trained divers of the pearl fishery, the Professor proceeded to describe the philo sophy of a . diving bell—painting out those principles of science which are involved in its construction and use. He then gave a description of the diving dress, which he happily designated a locomotive: Here, also, the lecturer gave some interestin g scientific details, proving that unless the head and chest of the man were protected by the ater protruding the weight of the helmet,reventh him using the muscles ';.,"f re spiration ; for, as the doctor stat e d, wwouii p if the chest exposed half a square f; 'et of surface, at a dept h (I. 15 feet the weight on the chest would be 4501 b. W Ought to men tion that the lecture was illustrated by Mule's newly invented diving apparatus and pumps. There was also shown, for the first time publicly, a diving signal, in vented by the same gentleman, and approved by G e n era l Pasby. Altogeth er , i t has seldom been our lot to hear a more pleasing or a more instructive lecture. 13 ~-7 7 N_ AMERICAN. NEWS. ,RIVAL THE CAMBRIA.

This splendid steam-ship has made an expeditious passage, and has brought upwards of seventy passeng ers. The news by thi s arr i va l w i ll be deemed very im portant, hostilities having comavenced on the 26th of April, on the Texian frontiers, bf we en the Mexican and United States forces, in which the Americans have suffered the loss of thirteen killed, six wounded, and 460 taken prisoners ; in consequence of which great excitement prevailed throughout the States; and, in New Orleans, Mobile, and otlSe4r 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 fe.nnent was very great, and a Bill had passed both "rouses of Congress, and received the sanction and sig nature of the President, appropriating 10,000,000 doll ars 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 requii&tions on the governors of Louisiana, Alabama, Missisk ippi, and Texas, for reinforcements, to which Louisisirr had * immediately te , sponded by voting 100,000 doll sas. At New Orleans 1500 men wers enrolled in a few d ays, 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 vet y depressing effect on the stocks, and trade generally. The Oregon question seems to be lost sight of, and the tStriff for the present laid aside. It is also doubtful whetht 1r the Sub-Treasury Bill will be further proceeded wit h at the present juncture. We subjoin the formal proclamation of war " PROCLAMATION' " OF TILE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED., STATES. " Whereas, the Congress of the United Stat Cs, by virtue of the constitutional authority vested in them, have Cettlared by their act bearing date this day, that by the• act of the Rt :public of Mexico, a state of war exists between that Government and the United States :' " Now, therefore, I, James K.

On the 11th ult. the President transmitted to Conga ess the fo lowing message : THE PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE. " To the Senate and House ofßepresentatives " The existing state o f th e re l at i ons between the 17nited States and Mexico renders it proper that I should bring the subject to the consideration of Congress. In my message at the commiencement of your prese.tt 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 anal nnredressed 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 reibrring you to that communication. " The strong desire to establish peace with Mexico, om 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 equitable 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. But 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 our fellow-citizen:ion our own soil. " It now becomes my duty to state snore in detail the origin, pro gress, and failure of that mission. In pursuance of the instructions given In September last, an inquiry was made on the 13th of October, 1845, 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 w een 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 j 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. 1 could not for a moment entertain the idea that the claims of our mach-injured and long-suffering citizens, many of which had existed fur more than 20 years, should be postponed or separated from the settles rent of the boundary question. " Mr. Slidell arrived atYera Cruz on the 30th of November, and was courfously 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 21st of December refused to accredit Mr. Slidell upon the most frivolous pretexts. These are so fully and ably exposed in the note of Mr. Slide'l of the 24th of December last to the Mexican Minister of Foreign Relations, herewith transmitted, that I deem it unnecessary to enter into further detail on this por Bon 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 the Presidency. This revolution was accomplished solely by the army, the people having taken little part in the contest , and thus the supreme power iu 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 regularconstitutional 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 to 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 existence 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 i - bat Government in the diplomatic character to which he had been apyffinted. This Minister, in his reply, under date of the 12th of MffiTh, reiterated the arguments of his predecessor, and in terms that i.nay be considered as giving just grounds .f offence to the Go vernm.mit and people of the United States, denied the application of Mr. siidell. Nothing, therefore, remained for our Envoy but to de- i 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 receive 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 not even given our Envoy to make any proposition whatever. Nor can it be objected that we, ott our part, would not listen to any rea sonable terms of their suggestion ; the Mexican Government refused all negotiation, and have made no proposition of any kind. " 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 necessary to meet a threatened invasion of Texas by the Mexican 'gees, for which extensive military preparations had been made, Mitt invasion was threatened solely because TexaB had determined, in accordance wits a solemn resolution of the Congress of the United Staten!, 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. e Tide force was concentrated at Corpus Christi, and remained there until after I had received such information from Mexico as rendered it probable, if not certain, that the Mexican Government would re fuse to receive our Envoy. " Meantime, Texas, by the final action of our Congress, had Immo an integral part of our Union. The Congress of Texas, by its act eF December 19, 1836, had declared the Rio del Norte to be the boundary 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 Convention of Texas, had thus taken part in the act of annexation itself, and is now included withi n one of our Congressional dist r i cts. 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 ; and a revenue officer, to reside within that district, has been ap pointed by and with the advice and 00113ent of the Senate. It be game, therefore, of urgent necessity to provide for the defence of tott portion of our country. According ly, on th e 13th day of .111, nnory last, instructions w ere i ssued to he Generals in command of these troops to occupy the left bank of the Del Norte.

A brief history of the Gauge question—The modern form of Rail- ways originated by George Stephenson—Uniformity of Gauges (i. e. of width of each pair of rails from each other) required to render Railways as free as corn non roads—Question—shall the Gauge be adapted to the Engine, or the Engine to the Gauge?—Projection of the Broad or Seven-feet Gauge on Great Western Railway—Robert Stephenson reports against it, to Directors of Rail—Objections theo retical and practical—Consequent abandoninent of joint station at Euston-square for the teo Companies—Disju,ction to be regretted— Shareholders alarmed by expense of making Great Western road consul.. Mr. Nicholas Wood and Mr. Hawkshaw—they report against 7 feet, and in favour of 4 feet 8% inches—lntermediate Gauge of 5 feet adopted by Mr. Braithwaite for Eastern Counties—Jame Gauge adopted for Northern and Eastern by R. Stephenson to preserve uniformity—both reduced to prevailing Narrow Guage, with Mr. Braithwaite's approbation, to secure uniformity with Northern lines —Fit st case of Break of Gauge, on junction of two Railways of diffe rent widths, at Gloucester—Evils brought about by break of Gauge —Compels a transfer of passengers from Broad Carriage to Narrow, and from Narrow to Broad—like the old stage coach system—com pels transfer of private carriages —of horses and cattle—of mineral ore and coal—unpacking of niercbandise—repacking—difficulty with cattle—breakage with merchandise—pillerage —injnry to coal—delay and expense —a Break of Gauge a barrier to trade like a Custom House—a tax of time—a tax of money —all taxes paid by the public —Birmingham Manufacturers agitate against Break of Gauge—Me morialise the Board of Trade—Mr. Wyndham Harding's pamphlet— Opinion of—from education—from experience of tie two systems —as an eye-witness of the effects of the Break, a competent witness on the effects of Break, and on comparative value of the two Gauges— he prefers Narrow Gauge as being, at least, as safe —as speedy —m 're convenient to commercial public—cheaper to make and to work Board of Trade report in favour of 4 feet 8% inches or Narrow Gauge—Uniformity of Gauge advocated by men of all parties in Parliament-51otion for Commission to investigate Break and merits of the two systems made, by Lord Dalhousie in the Lords, and Mr. Cobden In the Commons —Unanimeu.sly v oted — Commissioners report in favour of Uniformity of Gauge and of the National (4 feet 8 inches) Gauge. ANALYSIS OF EVIDENCE.—Narrow Gauge in England in proportion of nine miles to one of Broad Gauge—Narrow Gauge universal—in France—in Belgium—in Brunswick—in Saxony—in Bavaria—in Italy —in the United Stales.— Messrs. Brathwaite, Bidder, Fernihough, Hawkshaw, Locke, M'Connell, Rastrick, Stephenson, N. Wood, and E. Woods—Engineers, all in favour of Narrow Gauge and 'Uni formity ; —Messrs. Bruyeres, Creed, Ellis, Harding, Iluish. Hudson, Laws, Sand, ri—Railway Managers, all in favour of Narrow Gauge and Uniformity ;—Messrs. Bass, Chaplin, Home, Hayward, Jones— Carriers, and Messrs. Brown and Budd—Welsh Miners, all in favour of Narrow Gauge and Uniformity;—Generals Gordon and Burgoyne in favour of National Uniformity. Mr. Isambard Kingdom Brunel, Engineer of the Great Western Railway ; Mr. Charles Alexander Saunders, Secretary of the Great 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. Brunel—Narrow Gauge supported by all practical Engineers in the world—A Gauge, eleven inches and a half narrower than the Narrow Gauge, find safe, economical, and profitable, between Ghent and Antwerp—Narrow Gauge En gines have taken from Gloucester loads the Broad Gauge En gines could 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 tons of waste weight is 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 Junc tion. 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 merchandise - the Narrow Gauge can run sixty miles an hour with passengers— the Narrow Gauge can travel through all mining districts — The Narrow Gauge can carry the largest loads carriers ever send— i he Narrow Gauge goods' waggon, seven feet wide, is wider by two feet than the widest waggon used on common roads. The Bread Gauge costs more money to make—far more to keep in repair —carries far more unprofitable loads in passengers and in goods, and conse quently charges far more for the work done. By the Broad Gauge the West of England cut off from the rest of Eng land—its local traffic undeveloped, its hamlets, its agriculturists neglected. Broad Gauge charges exclude coal from the West—high price coal excludes steam —steam excluded excludes manufactures— Coal and manufactureethe wealth of England. The Break of-Gauge weakens the national defences—punctual celerity, the soul of modern warfare—steam on land the true mode of repelling steYm on sea. A Break of Gauge in military operations equivalent tdi' fen's*/ The Carriers —de&tire a Break of Gauge ruinous to their trade. Pickford's gloss receipts nine hundred thousand a-year.

A short time back (as no one disbelieves) I and my master were as thick as thieves.' On all occasions he would put me on, And say I made him look a downright ' don And often would my master condescend To designate me as his faithful friend. But things are alter'd now. What shall I do ? I cannot tell the reason, Sir, can yea ?" " Yes (said the other), I have got your place ; There's nothing more than common in your case. Our master read of MOSES" summer wrappers. And knowing they were nothing short of coppers, He went to MOSES 'newly open'd Mart, And purchas'd one particularly smart. I am the very coat he bought of MOSES. You see what style my modern make discloses. MOSES and SON have pleas'd him so, with me, That you are quite forgotten, don't you see ? Besides, I'm suited to the summer season, And that's, of course, a most important reason. The cold of winter now is tar remote, And hence our master needs a summer coat."

LATER FROM THE SEAT OF WAR. REPORT 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 verbal 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 mail. I have conversed with Mr. It. J. Ogden. a sutler attached io the United States army, who has this moment arrived in a southern boat. He left Point Isabel on the 28th ult. There were then about 350 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 the Point to the camp, but were compelled to return, The very latest advice.s left no doubt that General Taylor was com pletely surrounded. No danger is apprehended, however, to our gallant band, except from starvation, they being strongly entrenched. It is said that a more gallant officer than General Taylor never lived. The supposition was that the Texa Volunteers from Galveston, by the steamer Monmouth, would be the first to reach Point Isabel. Companies from Fort Pike, H. F. T. Wood, under command of Colonel B. K. Pierce, of let Artillery, and companies F. Infantry, from Jefferson Barracks, were to leave N. C. on the 6th (Wednesday week), and would probably reach Point 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. POSTSCAIPT.—We have the advices to the 2d of May, and then Point Isabel was safe, but the letter gives no further particulars. This comprises all of the slightest interest, with the exception of military movements at the south, that has been received by the mail. STILL FURTHER FROM THE SEAT OF WAR (From the New York Daily Tribune.) The New 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. m. steam-ship New York about 50 miles from Galveston. The Civilian of the 2d says :—We understand the U. S. schr. Flirt was endeavouring to get over the bar into Brazos St. Sago, in order to co-operate mere effectually in the defence of the depot and posi tion at the mouth of the river. Captain Sympton, 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 let 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 doubtless soon follow. General Johnson has just reached town. He 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 bf the har ly and experienced soldiers of Western Texas, to be followed by the wh o l e s t a t e as rap idl y as t h e occasion which'de mands their services shall become known. General Taylor has not cried woolf until he has seen the animal, 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 do so, on the other aide of the Rio Grande if not on this.
