DUPRE Z AT DRURY-LANE Duprez is delighting the public again Off the stage of the Theatre Royal Drury-lane ; And thousands admire the vocalist's skill, Which causes the house every evening to dll. The surprising effect which he gives to a song Has met with unequalled success all along. Our reason for mentioning Duprez in print, Is clearly displayed in the following hint : This singer, whose voice can be rivalled by none, Should sing a choice song for E. MOSES and SON. Such extensive commercial achievements as ours Are ruited to such a choice vocalist's powers; What thousands of people would throng Drury-lane, If Duprez were to sing Messrs. MOSES a strain ; And how would the crowding assemblage rejoice, To hear him thus nobly employing his voice. A thing such as this might he very soon done, For the words could be written by MOSES and SON; And the wonderful singer himself could prepare • A touching, a bold, and a suitable air. Such words and such music, with choice adaptation, Would obtain for the singer increased approbation ; And a merited hon Our would also be done To the trading achievements of MOSES and SON.

Papers from Galveston to the Bth inst., and from Washington (the capital) to the Ist inst., bare reached us by the steamship New York. It appears that some of the Texans are not at all pleased with the terms of annexation contained in the resolutions just passed. They look at the measure as a one-sided affair al together, and that they would be sadly shorn by their big sister Republic, in their acquiescing in the sacrifice of their customs, dues, public property, &c. &c., its the price of their admission into the Ajnion. The M otional Register is r eally sayagr at ", the actual pit and grave of in;iigniqcenee. and iofamy, 7 ! which these resolutions, as it states, would plunge the Toiian nation. The Regi s t er, however, Is the organ of the anti-annexationists, who ar e but an lasignitlegut frtiotlou of the people. The Galveston News still advocates the cause of an nexation.

If the people of Texas choose to revolutionize their Government and institute some new and different repub lican organization, they may do so without the leave of a foreign Government " first had and obtained." But 'the United States have acknowledged our title to be re.. cognised as an independent nation, both de facto and de fare. Should we adopt the course designated by their resolutions we at once lose the benefit of that acknow ledgment. We pass into a state of :imbecile and hope less dependence upon that power—to be annexed 2—cer tainly never, until their aspiring partizans shall cease to need the material we now furnish them for• the manu facture of political capital. Our relations with other Governments dissolved, and our own nationality re nounced, the United States may consent to hold—as they shall have consented to place us—in a state of ' penultimate but unaccomplished, annexation ! But even this consent of the American Congress, meagre and valueless as it is to the people of Texas, but for which we are required to give to the United States a lien upon our country's sovereignty—this worthless cone sent, as if begrudged to Texas, is eked out to her at a miser's usury, and is shackled with. what lawyers call "conditions precedent." Passing by the required sa crifice of our right to adjust the boundaries of our ter - ritory, the consent of that Congress, even once more to entertain the Texas question, is coupled with the cold assurance, that if we are ever admitted into the Union at all, we must cede to the United States " all our wines, minerals, salt lakes and springs, also all our public edifices, fortifications, barracks, ports and harbours, navy and navy yards, docks, magazines, arms, armaments, and all other property and means per taining to the public defence." We must also yield up our revenue and our capacity to raise one, which singl e item, under the fin anc i a l regulatio:'s of* our foster ing stepmother, would bring into her treasury at least three hundred thousand dollars per annum ; for which we have her kind permission to retain our public debt, and keep our public domain; subject, however, to the payment of the debt, and circumscribed within such limits as she may, hereafter, be pleased to assign to our territory, in the exercise of her characteristic and far stretching diplomacy which once reached even to the western banks of the Sabine ! We must, moreover, truckle to her pet abolitionists, by obligating ourselves to prohibit slavery north of the parallel of thirty-six degrees thirty minutes, known as the Missouri Compro mise line. We have always been a warm and hearty advocate for the cause of annexation ; but never did we d ream that the approval o f th e people of Texas would be required to a proposition so absurd —so degrading as the one pro pounded by this resolution. Our space does not now admit of further detail. Suffice it, that we contrast our present elevated position, as a people, seaure in the enjoy ment of peace, and in the speedy acquisition of acknow ledged independence ; secure in the wealth which the commerce of Europe is about to pour into our lap, and in the increasing value of our lands, arising from ex tended occupation, and the investment of foreign capital; secure of becoming " the most favoured" by those pon erful and wealthy sovereignties, whom both interest and policy impel to cherish our prosperity and growth, that their mark may he supplied with our staples ; and secure that the increase of commerce will speedily render no less consistent than desirable, a great diminu tion of the present tariff, with the alternative presented by this resolution, of Texas divested of all these high _privileges and advantages ; shorn of her attributes a nation ; crippled in her commerce, in her prosperity, in her domestic resources ; depressed by !tie burdens of public debt and direct taxation ; her hand in consequence depreciated in value ; and in the event of final annexa tion upon the proposed basis, our public domain not only razed and mortgaged to secure the payment of our debt, but even eviscerated of its mineral wealth, to swell the fcd er al treasury. This is indeed but a dim and totally inadequate view of the actual pit and grave of insignificance and infamy into which tho House of Representatives of the American Congress have proposed to plunge this nation. " Since he, miscall'd the morning star, Nor man—nor fiend hath fallen so far !" LIVERPOOL, SUNDAY, APRIL 13. ARRIVAL OF THE CAMBRIA. The Royal Mail steamer Cambria, 'captain :hh_ kins, arrived here this morning, after a quick voyage of eleven and a half days from Boston, and nine days and eighteen hours from Halifax. She has brought upwards of 120 passengers. The advices from . Texas, received at New York, have thrown rather a damp upon the glorious project of annexation. Texas is very shy—she doubts if annexation will be entirely for her benefit. The Government paper opposes it altogether ; and so great a damp is caused in New York, that most of the press view the subject very coolly, and the New fork He rald doubts if Texas will be annexed at all. We annex a copy of General Almonte's.protest to the Executive against the annexation of Texas. The Minister, it is now said, intends to remain in New York until he receives fresh instructions from the new Mexican Administration, and he expresses openly his belief that war will ensue. The New York Herald states :—" That it is his intention to issue through the press, and place before the American people, not only the recent diplomatic correspondence between him and our Government, but a number of other views and considerations addressed to the American people against the policy, the justice, and the legality of the recent movements + in favour of the annexa ti on of Texas." The protest of General Almonte is as follows : (Translation.) " The undersigned, &c., has the honour to address the Hon. J. C. Calhoun, &c., for the- purpose of making known to him the profound regret with which he has seen that the General Congress of the Union has passed a law consenting to and admitting into the American confederation the Mexican province of Texas. " The undersigned had flattered himself that in this question the good sense and sound opinions of the citi zens most distinguished and experienced in the manage ment of public affairs in this republic would have pre vailed in the deliberations of the legislative body and of the union ; but unfortunately this has not been the case, and, contrary to his hopes and most sincere wishes, he sees consummated by the American Government an act of aggression the most unjust which can be recalled in the annals of modern history, such as the spoliation of a friendly nation, like Mexico, of a considerable part of her territory. " For these reasons, the undersigned, in fulfilment of his instructions, finds himself obliged to protest, as he loss accordingly protest, in the most solemn manner, in the name of his Government, against the law passed on the 28th of last month by the General Congress of the United State s , an d sanct i one d on the Ist of the present month by the President of the said 'States, by which the province of Texas, an integral part of the Mexican territory, is allowed to be admitted into the American union. " The undersigned, in like manner, declares that the aforesaid law can in no manner invalidate the right which the Mexican nation possesses to recover the afore said province of Texas, of which she is now unjustly despoiled, and which right she will sustain and enforce at all times by whatever means are in her power. " The undersigned will say, in conclusion, to the Hon. Secretary of State of the United States, in order that he may be pleased to inform the President of the said States of the same, that in consequence of the law against which he has just protested, his mission to this Government is terminated from to-day. Consequently, the undersigned requests the llon. Secretary of State to be pleased to send him his passports, as he has arranged to quit this city as soon as possible for New York. " The undersigned, &c. " Washington, March 6." Advices bad been received at New York, from Cuba, to the 18th ult. They were unimportant. The following are extracts from these papers : HIGHLY IMPORTANT FROM TEXAS —Two WEEKS LATER—PROBABLE REFUSAL OF THAT REPUBLIC TO ANNEX. The steam-ship New York arrived at New Orleans on :he 13th with advices from Galveston to the Bth instant inclusive. The advices, in an annexation point of view, are very important. There is an evident determination on the Fart of Texas to refuse to accept the plan of union to the United States as offered by Congress. •It is stated that the British Charge "has obtained apledge from the Ex-President Houston to exert himself to the utmost to prevent an. nexation." And President Jones has already nearly com mitted himself to the same end. Subjoined is the news : (Correspondence of the New York Herald.) Galveston, Texas, March 4, 1845. Dear Sir,—We have all, in this section of country, been looking with considerable anxiety for your journal, to see what opinion you may have formed relative to the recent discomfiture of the " Warwick of the Democracy," as he is termed here, God save the mark, but it appears that you have not either deemed it necessary to expend your shot on him, or, that being without the proper in formation, you did rot think it advisable to hazard con. jecture. [From the Civilian and Galveston Gartttel The article which we now copy to-day from the National Register, affords gratifying evidence of a return on the part of the friends of annexation in this country, to a proper sense of self-respect, and an understanding of the position which Texas may and ought to assume in re ' lation to the question. Our friends beyond the Sabine have lost sight of the homely adage that it takes two to make a bargain, and only studied how to shape measures so as to make the "reciprocity ail on one side," until at length their utter selfishness aad disregard of the respect due to Texas as an independent nation, which has thus far maintained her nationality, rights, and liberties, begins to produce the natural fruits or disappointment and aversion in those of our citizens who had looked to that quarter for a magnanimous and disinterested regard for our welfare and happiness. The helpless and perish ing beggar may, without hesitation, accept the most humiliating conditions for and agree to become the menial of, him from whom he receives the means of averting famine and death ; but the sturdy yeoman, whose honest industry and strong arm afford him all the means of subsistence and protection requisite to his con dition and habits in life, may well shun the banquet and the association, if invited into the society of the more wealthy and presuming, when his acceptance is to be coupled with acknowledgments of vassalage and in feriority. (From the Galveston Weekly News.) We have already furnished incontestible evidence that the British policy in opposition to annexation has so far succeeded, that her Britannic Majesty's Minister has ob tained the pledge of President Houston to use his best endeavours to defeat that measure. We are told, that upon condition of our renouncing the American Union for ever, the monarchical powers of Europe will then terminate our formidable war with Mexico " forthwith, and compulsively." The same friendly promise has been made, from time to time, for the last seven or eight years ; and its repetition, just at this particular crisis, when the speedy success of annexa tion is beyond all reasonable doubt, is exceedingly well timed, in order to create a re-action in the public feeling of this country. We are not told whether this friendly mediation is again to be attended by another " armistice" as a necessary preliminary step, to be afterwards " im proved into one of more convenient duration." We are, however, assured that " France and England will openly submit to the consideration of our Government and people inducements for us to remain independent." Such information as this is usually confined to the chief agents of Government as a matter of State secresy, and is rarely furnished to th e p u bli c j ournals, except for the purpose of political influence and foreign counteraction. This announcement is made in the positive and unqualified terms of a negotiator, who has participated in all the Cabinet secrets and intrigues of both hemispheres. The public need not be surprised should this singular manifesto prove to be the harbinger of party organiza tion, and of great exertions in this country, to counter act the labours of our friends in the United States and to defeat this great measure here, after it has triumphed there.—" We shall see." The Civilian of the Bth has the following paragraph in relation to the export trade in provisions, &c. :—We still look, w i t h great confidence, for the period when a highly important and lucrative trade will be done in the exportation of many articles from Texas, which have not hitherto come into the account of the foreign trade of the country. Within the last year important advances have been made, and there is a good prospect that they will continue until the many important but dormant re sources, which are capable of making Texas the most prosperous country on the globe, are developed. The same paper, referring to the fact that the trade between Galveston and Havannah is beginning to attract attention, and the prapect that it will ultimately bei:ame of great importance, publishes a list of the rates and charges for commission, &c., on purchases, sales, &c., in Havannah. - The advent of Duff Green, in this country, was pe culiarly auspicious. His arrival was heralded in a long article in the Telegraph, of Houston, entitled the " Warwick of the Democracy," which, it is shrewdly conjectured, was written by himself. He arrived at Galveston and created a good deal of ex citement by giving out that he was en route for Mexico, to watch the movements of that Government, by authority. lie returned with a batch of informa tion of all kinds ; bringing, at the same time, the cor respondence between Shannon and Rejon—winked slyly, put his fingers to his nose, and spoke knowingly of mat ters supposed to be going on in Mexico—insinuated very gently that he had given Mr. Shannon immortality by writing the diplomatic dispatches—talked of his con nexion with Mr. Calhoun—spoke of the distinguished Southerner mentioned in Mr. Tyler's message to the Serrate, which first put him on his guard with regard to the designs of Britain on Texas and abolition—and, in short, he very meekly, by "insinuation," claimed to have set the annexation ball in motion ; which, too, was to make Texas great, Polk President, and he, Duff Green, marvellous. On his arrival at Washington he took a suite of rooms (for privacy) —your Minister boarded and lodged in a room with a dozen at the same time—. and commenced his practice as adviser-general to the nation—proposed that the whole tariff regula tions should be changed—proved it by certain funda mental principles, the gist of which was, that they, if adopted, would throw the North into a fever for an nexation—throw Mr. Polk into the hands of Mr. Cal houn, and, finally, make him, C., President. All these doings, it now appears, was only preliminary to his grand debk, which came oil shortly after, as follows: He proposed to Dr. Jones, President, to sign or recom mend a Bill for frontier protection, which was to be done, without cost to Texas, as follows: General Green and his associates were to be incorporated into a com pany, with power to levy war on Mexico, to conquer and annex territory, and to pay the expenses of the war with the spoils. To do this they were to have the pri vilege of inducing some sixty thousand Northern In dians to migrate to Texas, to be placed under the control of the company, to carry on the war with, &c. The President, being a reasonable man, gently ob jected to thi s w h o l esa l e annexation of the wrong side of the Rio, and perhaps said so. The General quite as politely insinuated to him, that if he did not sign such a Bill when passed, that he would make his seat anything other than one of roses—in fact, that he would revolu tionise the country. The result was that he was ordered out of presence, and proclaimed as you have seen. So ended the matter. The same paper of the Ist instant has the following paragraph in relation to Gen. Duff Green's misunder standing with the Texian President. It seems from this that the affair has not been settled, as stated. We observe a statement in some of the United States papers that the matter between the President of Texas and Gen. Duff Green, which led to the revocation of the in ference is l e f t th at an am i ca bl e a dj ustment h as b een exequature of the l a tt er , h as b een " se ttl e d," an d t h e in -11 made of the whole affair, to the satisfaction of the Pre sident—We are informed that no adjustment of any kind, furtnor than appears from *the proclamation, has ever been made of the matter, unless a remark .of the President that he regretted the necessity which com pelled him to take the course he did, may be so consi dered. Neither he nor his friends believe that the p;.°. clamation: was predicated upon any rnisapprehenoion or insufficient cause whatever. The American Minister, we have understood, entertains similar views. THE IMPORTANT INTELLIGENCE FROM TEXAS. HOSTILITY OF THE GOVERNMENT TO AN. another column, late and highly important intelligence NEXATION. We give, intelligence from Texas, from which it that annexation is as far off as evor. The will a o p f ? t e lL r government—the National Register—is, it will be seen, hostility exceedingly batter and determined in its expression of Rgils'.o resolutions, and it is quite appa rent that s o f ar as the Execs t ie; terms offered by the tive of T exas i s concerned, will be r e j ecte d with the Congress of the U n it e d S tates utmost scorn. W e are s t rong l y inc:ined to believe that the article in the Register was vv;itteu by President Jones himself. It is couched in his style, and there can be no doubt that it ex • presses his sentiments. How the mass of the people are disposed to treat the matter remains to be seen; but whatever the decision of the popular will may be, the completion of the measure may by um regarded as in deanitely postpo4ed. It tvill . be recollected that immediately on the passage Of the resolution leaving to the President the choice of the alternatives, the House Resolutions, as they are Galled, being the one, and Mr. Benton's bill th e o th er , former, Mr. Tyler selected th e f or which it now appears was London : The Union Bank of London. Hereford and Brecon : The National Provincial Bank of England. This undertaking will, in connection with existing and projected lines of railway, bring into immediate communication with Birming ham, and the whole midland and Northern Districts of England, the great mineral fields of Monmouthshire, as well as those adjoining Car diff and Merthyr Tydvil ; at the same time it will furnish to the im portant agricultural counties of Hereford, Worcester, Brecon, and M onmouth, a ready channel for the transmission of their produce to the dense population inhabiting the mineral districts of South Wales. The object of this company will be very materially aided, first, by the existing line from Cardiff to Merthyr: and, secondly, by the lines intended to be formed by the Welsh Midland Railway Company. The line will commence at Newport, and will thence proceed northward by Pontypool and Abergavenny to Hereford, where (in that direction) it will terminate. From Abergavenny a branch will extend eastward to Monmouth, and another westward to Brecon. From Brecon an extension will be made to Merthyr, to join the Taaff Yale Railway, ending at Cardiff. Thus will be established, in addition to a free intercourse with more distant localities, a complete chain Of railway communication amongst the important towns and districts just enumerated, and which are now wh o lly unprov id e d in that respect. The portion of the line extending westward from Monmouth will also promote the most direct passenger route that can be adopted from Monmouth to Carmarthen, and the South of Ireland. In addition to the main line and extensions above indicated, the Directors propose to place themselves in immediate communication with the proprietors of the most important works in the several dis tricts traversed, in order to fix the situation and the course of the minor branches, which will be necessary to complete the comprehen sive scheme of communication intended ; and to this object regard has been had in fixing the capital of the Company. The investigations which have been made on the subject of the traffic fully justify the conclusion that the undertaking is eminently ca lculated for the advantage and convenience of the public, and that it will prove a most profitable investment of capital. In eonclusion, it may suffice to observe that it is well known that the scheme of a comprehensive system of inland communication in the districts in question has already engaged the serious attention of the tribunal appointed by the Leg islature for the initiatory examina tion of railway projects ; and the Board of Trade has, in its report on the Tring and Oxford schemes, fully recognised the great im portance and necessity of the chain of communication of which the present undertaking will form a material link in the following man ner :—" The accommodation of Herefordshire, Worcestershire. South Wales, and the important districts lying to the west of the present lines of railway will evidently, at no distant period, require not only a wide gauge railway along the southern coast, to place them in com munication with London, but also a narrow guage railway, to place them in direct and unbroken communication, through Birmingham, with the manufacturing districts and the great railway system of the rest of the kingdom." The engineering capabilities of the course of the line and exten sions have been ascertained to be excellent, and the capital proposed will be ample for the construction of the 125 miles of railway Intended to be formed.

Church Farm, Barton Stacey, near Andover Railway Station, Hants, October 26, 1844. Sir,—l cannot help expressing my astonishment in the effect I have experienced in taking your Pills for the Gout. I was taken on Thurs day night so severely with it as to be with difficulty able to get out of my bed, and atter I arose I had severe pains, followed on with in flammation of the foot increasing. I took three of your Pills, and within two hours I found the pain to entirely cease. I afterwards took two Pills at a dose twice in the day, and I am, thank God, this morning able to walk without the slightest inconvenience. I found in a previous very severe attack very great relief; I had the pains in my knees and thighs so very severe at that time, I thought I must have died, and that it must have gone into my stomach. At that time I had resort to your Pills, and they relieved me—Within two hours I was quite easy. The use of these Pills ought, really, to be known all over the world. I have ti brother, a young man, that suffers horribly with it, and his greatest relief and preventive has been your Pills. Make what use you please of My fePiort.--1 ours truly and respeetfhlkri W . 11.144N COURTNEY, Among the many digeovtries that characterise the pr:4ellt nae«noli have contributed so much ,to the comfort and ease of the comm..._ ner conferred such a boon: upon suffering humanity, as the impor tant disso7,e7v., of BLAIR'S GOUT AND RHEUMATIC PILLS, he efficacy of wild l has been tested by the approval and recom mendation of many of the greatest men of our day.

The recent melancholy events which have disturbed the Diocese of Exeter, and which, it is feared, cannot be satisfactorily settled, have largely contributed to establish the necessity for a Free Episcopal Church. The party within the pale of the Establishment, who denounce the Protestant Reformation,_and labour without ceasing to subvert its principles, cannot he, sufficiently held in check in a diocese like Exeter, where they are 'notoriously favoured by the Bishop, without some large and determined effort to provide for th e d ue ce l e b ra ti on o f . . the services of the Church, in connexion with the faithful ministry of the Gospel, free from the control of the ecclesiastical ruler. To provide then for those who have been driven from their paro chial edifices by the semi-popish teaching of the clergy, it has been felt needful to obtain ground in a central part of the city, on which to erect a large and commodious church ; the hall opened a few months since in Fore-street having proved quite insufficient to ac commodate the numerous congregation. Christ Church is now erecting in East Southernhay—one of the best situations in Exeter, and on the borders of the two populous parishes of St. Sidwell's and Trinity. It will be constructed to seat 1,400 persons; four hundred of the sittings will be free. The cost or the ground and building, with other expenses, will exceed 4,0001. The friends of Protestant truth throughout the country are re spectfully invited to sympathise with their brethren at Exeter, by aiding with their contribu.lons tbis spirited undert a ki ng. Au opportunity is thus afforded them, not on l y to strengthen the hands of a small band, who, trusting In God, hav e commenced this work, but to record their attachment to those principles which have been esteemed the glory of Great Britain, and the distinguishing excellence of her religious institutions. Contributions for the Christ Church Building Fund will be received for Henry Crofts, Esq., the Treasurer, at the City Bank, Exeter ; and at Messrs. Roberts, Curtis, and Co., Bankers, London. NATIONAL ANTI-CORN-LAW BA ZAAR._ The Council of the League having determined upon holding a Bazaar in the Theatre Royal Covent-garden, London, in aid of thr One Hundred Thousand Pounds Fund, beg to announce that It will OPEN on ThumpAl', May 8, for exhibition, and that on the succeed ing 3fonday, the I 2th of May, the sale of articles will commence. Many of the large manufacturing towns having intimated that they intend to furnish their stalls with articleS illustrativ e of their staple manufacture, such contributions will not be, removed at the period of sale, but remain on view till the close of the Bazaar. Contributions may be forwarded, from the 15th of April to the Ist of May, addressed to George Wilson, Esq., Chairman, at the Theatre Royal Covent-garden, London, where all the requisite arrangements will be made for their reception.. As the inquiry is repeatedly made as to Whether the articles sent to the Bazaar should have the prices affixed by the contributors, or by the Committee of Management in London, It is respectfully requested that, wherever practicable, the contributors themselves will affix their own prices to the articles according to the known cost of the raw materials, and the additional value given by the labour subse quently expended upon them. Upon application, the Council will be happy to forward to any of the Local Committees, or individuals, who are preparing contribu tions, labels, on which may be placed the description of the article— the price —and the name of the contributor. The Council also would earnestly urge upon their friends In the smaller towns and rural districts, where, from a variety of causes, it may not be practicable to , obtain contributions in the shape of manu factured goods, or articles of taste or fancy, that efforts should be made to collect money contributions, and forward them before the Ist of May, as Bazaar purses In aid of the League Fund. Such of the Local Committees as intend to furnish a stall, are earnestly recommend to communicate with the Council without delay. Full particulars of the general arrangements will appear shortly.

Why, another protracted appeal to the people, and the probability is, that the influence of the Government, and various other interests, may be able to defeat the project altogether. There certainly cannot he any doubt that the resolutions are less favourable to Texas than the treaty rejected by the Senate, and con templated by M r . B en t on ' s resolutions, which were to negotiate o n th e same pr i nc i p l es. An d i t was very well . known at the time, in well-informed quarters, that the feeling in Texas was likely to run counter to the reso lutions selected by Mr. Tyler. It would appear, therefore, that Mr. Tyler and Mr. Calhoun, in selecting that alternative, had some inkling, probably through Duff Green, that such a proposition would be negatived by the Government of Texas, and; was not likely to please the people, and that by selectleg it the whole annexation question wo u ld be again tistowa before the.people, in our elections throughout tide coun try, and that thus the question would remain, as unsettled. as ever. The conduct of Mr. Tyler, and the hasty man ner in which be dispatched his messenger to the Governe ment of Texas, after selecting the worst and most un palatable resolutions, would thus seem to imply that he did not wish to see the question settled, and desired to take it out of the hands Of Mr. Polk altogether, leaving it to popular discussion for future direction. It would appear, from a recent vote in secret s - Asion of the Senate, made public the other day, that the Pre sident is prohibited from selecting any otter mode of annexation, so that in every point of v: iew , hands, the questi on i s a fl oat again. and on all When we take all this into consideration—the move:degas in South Caro lina hostile to Mr. Polk — the.determinati on o f t h e W hig party to resi s t annexation to the lat est gasp — and various oth er matters ; we are very much incli ne d to believe that annexat i on i s as far off as ever, and that the battle must he fought over again. (From the Neu- York Herald.) The Tea-as National Regis-ter, a paper recently esta blished at the capital, contains a long and able. article on the Annexation Bill, which was then knosen to have passed the United States' House at Representatives, and which af t e rwar d s b ecame a law. It , opposes it very bitterly, on the groun d t h at too much is ruired of Texas, and too littl e i s y i e ld ed to her. The sacrifice of her nationality, the ending of her stipulations with foreign Powers, the surrender of the pabUe property, and the other conditions demanded as* thought too great a price to pay for the privilege or being admitted as a State at some future time, if flte United States' Go vernment see fit to do so. Thu same paper publishes the following paragraph by way of comment upon the propositions made in England to repeal the duty on cotton :—The political importance of its speculations is entirely nullified by the prospect that the cotton of the United States, as well as that of Texas, will be admitted to the benefit of this hew regulation. " The removal of this duty on cotton will enable the British Government to throw vast commercial advantages into the hands of the merchants and planters of Texas. We have every reason to believe, that if we conclude' to remain independent, this duty will be removed from all Texas cotton introduced into English ports, while it will be retained upon that produced in the United States, Under this discrimination in our favour, may be also embraced sugar and tobacco. In this way, our rival ship with the United States will be almost instanta neously established ; for, under such an arrangement, they wculd gain by the change an increase of profits of not less than forty per cent. per annum." TIIR UNITED STATES AND MEXICO.—The Altio);a1 Intelligencer of yesterday morning, in one of those well considered articles, which distinguish it as an intelligent and statesmanlike journal, after adverting to the remark able fact that while hazarding all the chancea of war with Mexico, by the proposal to annex Texts, Congress has actually cut down the appropriations both for Army and Navy—asks this significant quest;'ese " Should Mexico at once (as is, altogether possible) issue her commissions, and, lending. her flag to the pri vateers of all countries, let them loose upon our trade, what is to be done ? Is tbn President of the United States to make war of his own authority ? Can he do so with no approp r i a ti on a peace 7' except those f o r a sta t e o f Who shall ans.;.er ?

Samuel Ikar, in South Carolina, be directed to report to the Legislature, resolves to the following effect, viz.:— " That Massachusetts is restrained from further pre sent action in behalf of her citizens imprisoned in South Carolina solely on account of their colour, and from the exercise of her own powers to protect the commerce of her citizens, by her unwillingness to do the slightestvio lence to the Constitution of the United States, the pee. tection of which she is claiming for her own citizens in the premises. " That South Carolina having, by her constituted au thorities, interfered to prevent access to the Courts of the United States within her territory, it heron es the duty of the General Government to afford to the citi zens of our Commonwealth, while in another State, all the rights guaranteed to them by the constitution of the United States ' • " And that Massachusetts now demands, and will con tinue to demand, that the General Government make such change in the jurisdiction of the federal courts, or such provisions by law, as will enable any citizens of Massachusetts, who may hereafter be imprisoned in any other State solely on account of his colour, to urge his claim to liberty and protection in the courts of the. United States ; and that cur senators and representa tives be requested to lose no opportunity of urging this subject upon the consideration of Congress."—Ne w York, Match 20. (Correspondence of the Tribune.) WASHINGTON, MARCH 22, 1845.—We have an inte resting item of news to-day, which is, that M. Bodisco, the Russian Ambassador, has formally entered a protest, with our Government on behalf of the Emperor of'Russia against the annexation of Texas. Though but a rumour, the source from which it comes entitles it to con sideration. I understand that letters have been received from our Charge at Texas (or the locust tenens of the Chargliship, in the absence of Major Donelson, whom we are paying to be there), stating that the people of Texas will not accept our proposition for annexation.

[A .DVERTISEM E NT.] BOTANIC WATER AND lasAk GREASE. —When the hair is becoming thin, and falling off, the only effectual remedy, besides shaving the head, is the use of the two above-named articles, applied al ternately—the botanic water to cleanse the roots from scurf and as a stimulant, and the bear's grease as nourisher. If any further evidence was. required of the virtues pf bear's grease for renovating and preserving the haft, Mr. Catlin's account of the quantity used, and the length of hair obtained by some of the North Ame rican Indians, would be a sufficient answer. nose and Sons, 119 and 120, Bishopsgate-street, who first intro dir,:ed the use of bear's grease in this country, rnd who fat and kill the animals, recommend the public to pur chase none other but with their names and addrcres printed on the pot, or the chances are their obtaining a spurious artic'e. All vegetable o il s a p p li e d to the hair are worse than useless.
