T H E T W A D 0 G S. 'When first the good reader my title discerns, No doubt he'll expect a quotation from Burns : But he'll very soon find that the subject is one Of the weekly productions of MOSES and SON. And now for the fable which specially bears, On matters connected with sporting affairs. Two pointers one day (so the narrative goes), Having met in a field, had a chat, nose to nose. " Good morning (said Pincher), pray how is the game, And how is your master—l don't know his name ; I diet him just now, and I saw from his coat, He had patronised MOSES, those tailors of note." "Exactly (said Tray), that's a capital guess, You know 'what is what,' in a matter of dress. The merits of MOSES seem pretty well known, Where a barrel has ' bang'd.' or a feather has flown. Nor need we to wonder, for really (said Tray), Their shooting-coats rank as the first in their day. The coats made by MOSES are fitting and firm, And are cheap in the very best sense of the term." While Tray thus described the prime garments on sale, Pincher showed his assent by a wag of the tail. And I, as a gentleman using a gun, Took notes of the chat, and resolved to be one Of the firmest adherents of MOSES and SON. LEST OF PRIC ES. MADE TO ILIABUILI.

Upwards of 260, of whom a great number were ladies, sat down to a dinner, consisting of all the delicacies of the season. Besides his Royal Highness the Duke of Cam bridge, there were at the banquet Lord Dudley Coutts Stuart, M.P. • the Lord Mayor, the Ameri can Minister ; the three Polish princes, Sapietra, Ladislaus, Czartoriski, and Adam Sapietra ; the Lord Chief Baron, his Excellency Mr. Brooke, her Ma jesty's Minister for Borneo • Count Zamoyski, Mr. Masterman, M.P., Mr. Wal ter, M.P., Mr. Archibald Hastie, M.P., Mr. Waddington, M.P., Mr. Cubitt, M.P., Sir Peter Laurie, Alderman Farebrother, Alderman Kelly, Aldermen Humphery, M.P., Sir.W. Maznay, Bart, alderman Johnson, the Hon. C. E. Law, AP., the Sheriffs, tic. The dinner was provided by Mrs. Smith, cook and confectioner, of Mile-end-terrace. The LORD MAYOR proposed the usual loyal toasts, "The Queen," "The Queen Dowager," "Prince Albert," "Albert, Prince of Waies," which were drunk with the usual honours and enthusiasm. _ His LORDSHIP then ro , e to propose the heilth of " His Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge and the rest of the Royal Family. ' The Duke Of CAMBRIDGE returned thanks for the very flattering manner in which his health had been drunk, in connexion with the health of the rest of the illustrious family to which he belonged. He assured the Lord Mayor that he could not adequately express the satisfaction he Mt upon the present occasion. Upon many occasions he had attended in that ball before many of those by whom he was surrounded were born ; but at all times, and under all circumstances, whatever the politics of the chief magistrate might be, he found the Royal Family received the warmest support. Ile, therefore, felt the utmost gratification in coming to the Mansion- house to visit the chief magistrate of the greatest metropolis in the world. The LORD MAYOR proposed . "The Army and Navy," the great services of v, hich were so well known as to require no particular commendation from him. General GRANT and Captain DENHAM severally returned thanks. The Duke of CAMBRIDGE proposed, "The City of London and the Trade thereof," which he trusted would continue to prosper for ages. The LORD MAYOR said the next toast he had to propose was " The health of the American Minister," who represented the thriving empire whose trade was diffused throughout the whole globe. The toast was of the greatest importance, because it was the interest of England to cherish and uphold the good under standing which existed between the two countries. The AMERICAN MINISTER said that, although not long a resident in this great country, he had already ' become acquainted, not only with its mighty re sources, but its boundless hospitality. He expressed the high gratification which he felt at the reception which be met with at the dinner given by the Sheriffs a few days ago, and declared that it was the wish of his Government, and his own wish, that his residence in England might not be a mere holiday residence, but that it might be distinguished by drawing closer the ties of friendship and amity between the two countries. He wished, in conclusion, that the pros perity of London might last as long as time itself. The Duke of CAMBRIDGE then proposed " The health of the Right Hon. the Lord Mayor," whom he had the happiness of knowing for a considereble period, and for whose excellent qualities be had the highest esteem and respect.—(Cheers.) The LORD MAYOR returned thanks. Nothing could exceed the high sense he entertained of the honour done him by the illustrious Duke, in con descending to be his guest, and in proposing his health in terms so flattering. It was most gratifying to him to see his Royal Highness and such a number of distinguished guests at his board, and he assured them that the great wish of his heart was to serve his- fellow-citizens, and to obtain their good opi nion. —(Cheers.) His LORDSHIP, in proposing "The health of the Chief Barcn and her Majesty's Judges," passed a high en comium upon the present bench, and also took occa sion to eulogise the conduct of Sir George Pollock, the Chief Baron's-brother, to whom the Corporation had lately voted the freedom of the City in a gold box. The CHIEF BARON returned thanks. He was in debted, in the first instance, for his professional suc cess to the fact of his having received the first part of his education at St. Paul's, one of the great City schools. With delight and gratitude he heard the Lord Mayor's allusion to hi t s brother, to whom he would have the pleasing task of expressing his feelings upon receiving the distinguished reward which had been voted to him.—(Cheers.) He likewise returned thanks for his brethren of the bench, and con cluded by proposing " The health of the Lady Mayoress."—(Loud cheers.) The LORD MAYOR proposed " The health of the Lord Mayor elect," who, he was convinced, would distinguish himself in his year of office by the able performance of his duties. The next toast was that of" John Masterman, Esq., and the Members of the House of Commons," the new blood infused into which would, the Lord Mayor hoped, be productive of material benefit. That the Legislature would have most important work to do there could be no doubt. Mr. MASTERMAN returned thanks. Sir PETER LAURIE returned thanks for the magis tracy of London. The RECORDER, in returning thanks for the honour done him by the Lord Mayor in proposing his health, alluded to the misunderstandings which had taken place between the Lord Mayor and the Court of Common Council, and said that the chief magistrate had acted all through upon his advice, and if that ad vice, which had been given after the most mature consideration, was erroneous, he was desirous of taking upon himself the whole undivided respon sibility.—(Cheers.) The LORD MAYOR proposed " The health of Mr. Brooke, her Majesty's Commissioner for Borneo."— (Loud cheering.) The company were well acquainted with the merits of that distinguished gentleman, who not only was remarkable for valour in war, but showed himself capable of the most successful exer tions in the great arts of civilisation.—(Cheers.) His Lordship particularly alluded to the labours of Mr. Brooke in reforming the Malays, who when he went amongst them were in the most lamentable state of ignorance and immorality, but left by him industrious, moral, and religious.—(Cheers.) Mr. BROOKE said he could not adequately express his sense of the honour conferred upon him, but he considered it an epoch in his life to go into so august a company, and to be received as a guest at the table of the chief magistrate of the greatest city in the efforts r o h b e a t o a n d , h made he was in In d o i s r t e a n t h t a l n a n d s y gast re paidN world.Ve were e b d y e stelhrfevaitnr. which had been just drunk an d t h e praises of his own countrymen.—(Cheers.) He beg ged to be alloy. ed to state that his opinion of the Me lays was different from that expressed by those who were opposed to them. He did not consider them treacherous, he considered them capable of being raised in the scale of civilisation, and becoming as polished, industrious, and respectable as those who represented them as abounding with bad qualities.—(Cheers.) He was sure he was ruled by pure intentions in all that he had undertaken and performed, and by the same steady principle he was convinced he should continue to be guided.—(Cheers.) Sheriff CUBITT returned thanks for his brother Sheriff and himself. The LORD MAYOR proposed the health of the three young Polish Princes with whose company he was honoured. Lord DUDLEY COUTTS STUART returned thanks for his Noble Friends, who felt it a high compli ment to be so distinguished by the Chief Magistrate of the city to which their unfortunate country was s o muc h Duke o pl jpfvaroCrAoßtnpLyDmoT propose e broke MAYOR a g Tee e kipo s h a: bNe i ) w o tA s eh e il ery w . ec tomh, Walter,cpl l i oi n em fi k e n .

The mammoth pavilion will be fixed on the Waterloo ground, as well as two other im mense tents, which, with the covered walks, and the rotunda theatre, will afford ample room for twenty thou sand persons.

Such a union of the sporting world, whether noblemen or pro fessional equestrian managers, riders, dealers, jockeys, Sc., as the forthcoming occasion will attract, has perhaps never yet been seen.

Doctor of Medicine, Matriculated Member of the University of Edin burgh, Licentiate of Apothecaries' Hall, London, honorary Member of the London Hospital Medical Society, &c. Marriage requires the fulfilment of several conditions, in order that it may be really the cause of mutual happiness. Could the veil, which covers the origin of domestic wretchedness, be raised, and its true source in every instance disclosed, in how many could it be traced to physical disqualifications and their attendant disap pointments. Excesses are always injurious ; the gift, which when used in moderation is fraught with advantage, becomes, when abused, the prolific source of mischief, and of greater or less injury to the constitutional and vital powers. The particular excesses, on :he nature and consequence of which this Treatise professes to dilate, are productive of greater severity of misery to the human frame, than any other to which it is subject. This work contains an accurate and complete account of the Anatomy and Play,iology of the Reproductive Organs, and of their relative conditions in health and disease. It deservedly requires the closest attention and study, for what subject can be of more importance than the preservation of the health, and of the physical capabilities of which every man should be possessed. It unfortunately happens that the unhappy victim of excessive indulgence and vicious habits, whether acquired in early life or from the follies of advanced age, while suffering from their invariable consequences, unwisely entertains a fear of ap plying to a qualified physician for relief. Shame and the dread so frequently, but erroneously entertained that these complaints aro beyond the reach of art, alike restrict him and prevent his seeking for assistance where alone it can be procured. In acting thus, he forgets that accurate discrimination in ascertaining the causes of di se ase, sympathy with the sufferer, and, above all, secrecy, inva riably characterise the intellient and practical physician, and to the medical man who can show by his posse •sion of the requisite legal qualifications that he is entitled to esteem and respect in his profes sional pursuits, the utmost confidence should be extended. Dr. Li'MERT has obtained the highest medical honours, as his diplomas testify, and the great extent of his practice for many years is a guarantee fur Ins professional experience, which has reference almost had of Kent and solely Richards, 52, Paternoster - raw; Published to the Hannay, G 3, Oxford-street; Starle, Tichborne bt3r,etai i le m , e k t u t t t h o o f rt,li andese diseases. rn a may be e London; or, freeby post for forty-two stamps, street, Haymarket ; Mansell, 1 11, Fleet-street ; Gordon, 146, Leadenhall-street , .ig Five till Eight, the Author, who m a y be consulted on these disorders ht, at his personally or by letter, daily, from T en till Two, and from residence, 9, Bedford-street, Bedford -square, London. AN EXCEPTION.—A gentleman boasted that he had drank two, three, or four bottles of wine every day for fifty years, and that he was as hale and hearty as ever " Pray," remarked a bystander, " where are your boon companions ?" " Ah," he quickly replied, " that's another affair. If the truth may be told, I have buried three entire generations of them 1" AMERICAN NEW The following are additional particulars brought by the steamer Washington, which arrived at South ampton on Saturday morning, a summary of which appeared in our paper of that day : The steam-ship Britannia, which sailed from Liver pool on the 4th ult., reached Boston early on the 19th. We regret to learn that she touched the ground off Cape Race, Newfoundland, on the 14th, in a thick fog, but got off with no very serious injury. She was to be docked at New York the day after the Washington left, in order to ascertain exactly the extent of damage which she had sustained. The following account of the perilous position of the Britannia is extracted from the correspondence of the New York Commercial Advertiser : " BAY OF FUNDY, SEPT. 18. " When I made up the news of the day it was my expectation to be in New York early on Sunday morning, notwithstanding we had head winds to the Banks of Newfoundland. On our arrival on that dangerous coast, at this season of fogs, we found our selves on the 14th enveloped in the most dense fog I ever saw; it was such a one as was never seen, I think, in your city. " On the afternoon of that day the steamer went on the rocks at Cape Race, the southern point of New foundland. As you may imagine, it was a moment of deep solicitude. Many of us had been for some time watching for land, anxious to know our true situation, that we might escape all apprehension during the approaching night. My eye was at the moment fixed on Captain Harrison, our excellent commander, and I saw him turn quickly, and heard him exclaim, Starboard--stop her 1' Before the echo could have died away, the ship struck, and for the first time I saw the bleak and barren rocks. "It may be said by some, 'Did not the captain keep too near the shore ?' To this I reply, that nine times out of ten the fog ' lifts' when near the shore, and land is generally seen at a distance of two or three miles. This is peculiarly the case off New foundland. "The course the captain instantly adopted entitles him to great praise. As soon as it was ascertained that the steamer was ashore, orders were given to clew up the sails, the guns were run aft, and the provisions and everything else that could be removed were shifted ; the water in two of the boilers was let off, and the passengers all crowded to the stern; the engines were reversed, and two waves or rollers coming in, we were, under the gracious protection of an overruling Providence, once more afloat. " The captain then summoned the chief engineer to ascertain whether the ship made water. The result was that she was making at the rate of about twelve inches per hour, but he was sure the two pumps, usually in service would keep the water down. Under this impression the captain determined to pro ceed on his course. " The passengers, both ladies and gentlemen, be haved with great coolness during the exciting moment, and no one attempted to interfere with the com mander in the course he pursued, nor did any one converse with him until we were again under way. Soon after some half-dozen gentlemen met the cap tain in his state room and looked over his chart, and ascertained our position. St. John's was some fifty miles north of us, but as the fog still continued there was no probability ofgetting into that port, and having full confidence in Captain Harrison's statement that the ordinary pumps would keep the ship free, Mr. Winthrop made a report to the passengers which allayed their fears, and we arrived at Halifax on the Friday morning, where a survey was held, and the report was made in substance, that the steamer had been ashore at Newfoundland, that her forefoot had been knocked off, her keel injured, and that she made fourteen inches of water per hour, but that her two bilge pumps could throw out the water she made, and that she might proceed safely to Boston. " Previous to our arrival in Boston, the following statement was submitted to the passengers, and by most of them approved and signed. " Thursday, Sept. 16, off Halifax. " The undersigned, passengers in the Britannia, feel that it will be expected of them to make some public expression in regard to the dangerous accident which has befallen them during the voyage which is just drawing to a close. They have, therofore, pre pared the following statement, which they believe to embrace all that is necessary to a right understanding of the case, and to a just appreciation of the conduct of all concerned. " The steamer Britannia left Liverpool on the 4th of September, at four o'clock, P.M., and having en joyed nine days of generally clear weather, was found in latitude 48, longitude 45 51, on the 13th inst. at noon ; the distance from Cape Race was then sup posed to be about 304 miles. " At day-break on the 14th the steamer encoun tered a dense fog, which continued daring the day and night. Wind light. The sea by no means rough in the morning, became sensibly smoother and smoother as the day advanced, and the steamer pro ceeded steadily on at the rate, as shown by the log, of from 9} to 10* miles the hour. There was, of course, no possibility of taking an observation during the continuance of the fog, which was of extraor dinary density, and at times it was impossible to see further than a full ship's length ahead. At twelve o'clock the dead reckoning of the captain gave lati tude 46 50, longitude 51 51, and the run of the previous 24 hours was set down at 250 miles. " Our distance from Cape Race was still supposed to be about fifty-four miles. Many expressions of anxiety were interchanged among some of the pas sengers at so close an approach to land as was indi cated by ,these figures, in such thick weather, but the captain expressed entire confidence that we should pass quite clear of Cape Race in the course of the afternoon. He expressed also, what all concurred in, the extreme desirableness of ma kin g t he land before night set in. " At a few minutes after six P.M., the steamer struck the shore, and a rocky headland, believed to be between Cape Race and Cape Ballard, was seen within one hundred yards of our - bows. " Captain Harrison was at his post on the larboard paddle-box when the accident occurred. He had re mained in that neighbourhood while the passengers were at dinner, and had united, during the afternoon, with the officers of the ship and with the appointed watch, in looking out for the land ; but the thickness of the fog was such that the land was seen hardly an instant before the ship was upon it, and the prompt orders to Stop her' were too late. "The undersigned cordially unite in bearing testi mony to the coolness, presence of mind, and good judgment displayed by Captain Harrison and his officers and men at this critical moment. In less than half-an-hour from the time when the accident occurred the steamer was again pursuing her way to Halifax, under circumstances which gave the pas sengers every assurance of safety of which the case admitted. The promptness and skill of Captain Har rison in thus extricating the ship from her perilous position, as well as his uniform courtesy and untiring devotion to his duties during the whole voyage, have won from us all our kindest feelings towards him as a man, and our confidence in him as a commander. " The undersigned cannot conclude without an ex pression of their gratitude to God for so signal a pre servation under circumstances of so much peril. Had the accident taken place at night—had it hap pened during the violent winds which belong to this season of the year—had the ship even touched the ground a few rods of either side of the precise point on which she struck, the entire immunity from loss of life and property in which we now rejoice could not have been experienced. While, therefore, we would do full justice to the human agencies which were exerted in our be half, we would not forget how eminently it is of God's goodness that we are all here at this hour, to give an account of the dangers to which we have been exposed." [Signed by 65 passengers.] Santa Anna has published the following explanation of his defeat : " MANIFESTO OF THE PROVISIONAL PRE SIDENT AND COMMANDER-IN-CHIEF OF THE AR AIY. " In moments so critical and solemn, it becomes the duty of him who presides over the destiny of the Republic to give publicity to the recent events, and I comply with pleasure, as candour has at all times been the character of my Administration. The inci dents of the 19th and 20th are too notorious, having been disastrous ; but I am bound to pre3ent a review of them, lest they should be misrepresented as much by the spirit of detraction and malevolence, as by errors which may result from a false analysis of such grave and transcendent affairs. " The nation has witnessed the great and extra ordinary efforts with which, in the space of three months, I prepared for the defence of the capital, which was on the point of being surrendered to the enemy without resistance. I have formed, armed, and equipped an army of more than twenty thousand men; I have provided a vast material for this army; faicave fortified various lines in order to remove from ico the ravages of war ; I have treat ed resources • in spite of the isolated position to which the Govern ment was reduced ; and I have spared no time and no labour in order to make my country appear with dignity and firmness in the contest to which it was unjustly provoked. " In war an accident, a thing that appears trifling, overthrows the best formed combinations. A glance at the defences which I established round the city is sufficient to discover the plan which I had proposed to myself. The forces which I had advanced on one of the flanks, supported by others stationed at con venient distances, had a point to fall back upon, well known to them, and of which I gave notice at the proper moment. To one general who had command of a strong division of 5,000 men, with twenty-four pieces of artillery, and whose head-quarters were at the village of San Angel, I sent orders at eleven o'clock on the morning of the 18th to fall back upon the town of Coyoacan, in order to form a concentration of forces, following the movements of the enemy, which were already evident, and parti cularly to unfold my plan of operations. But this general, forgetting that no two men can commanti in a field of battle, and that for the execution of a plan no observation which may annul or retard it can be:ad mitted, took upon himself to object to the orders which he had received; and as we had banished from among us obedience and discipline, so indispensable in mili tary matters, I had to be tolerant in order to avoid greater evils, and let him, to my great regret, act, throwing upon him the responsibility of whatever might happen. " The result was as fatal as I bad foreseen: He advanced, of his ow,. accord, more than a league, and selected a position to meetthe enemy without giving me notice of his movement or of his intentions. The refusal which he gave to my advice was the first news I had of his temerity, and soon after the roar of cannon showed me his position, and gave me notice that an action had commenced. Although overwhelmed with a presentiment of what was to happen, I put myself immediately at the head of a brilliant division of 4,000 men and five pieces of artillery. I arrived at the mo ment when the enemy had cut off by the rear the position of the ill-fated general with a respectable force, and I was hardly able to check his operations, as the night was already setting in. " But I perceived with sorrow that the position was isolated; a deep ravine, and a wood occupied by the enemy, being interposed beween us, it was impossible for the troops under my immediate command to ad vance by the only road there was, without exposing themselves as were already the others, and only one battery, which arrived late, could do any injury. The firing having ceased, our brigade took up its quarters in the neighbouring village of San Angel, because, as it rained in torrents, it would have been equal to a defeat to have kept the troops in the open field. " Previous to this, however, I had ordered my aide-de-camp, Colonel Romiro, to pass the terrible ravine which was in our front, and guided by Don Jose Maria del Rio, well acquainted with the coun try, to reach the camp of the general, and to advise him to withdraw that very night to San Angel with his infantry and cavalry, by the only road which was left to him, spiking previously the artillery which it was not possible to save. My aide-de-camp suc ceeded, and communicated my orders between ten and twelve o'clock that night, but instead of being obeyed with punctuality, the above-named general hardly allowed my aide-de-camp to speak, interrupted him by stating that he wanted 6,000 men and ammunition, and sent him off with two dispatches, already signed and sealed, in one of which he gives a report of the ac tion of the evening, stating that he had beaten and put the enemy to a shameful flight, and that in conse quence.he conferred promotions on the generals, chiefs, and officers. "Early the next morning I presented myself again in the same camp, reinforced by a brigade which I had drawn from the capital, and with the intention of forcing the bridge at any cost; but when I was about to commence, the enemy made his attack, which lasted ten minutes, and I witnessed, overwhelmed with despair, the defeat of those soldiers, worthy of a better fate, because the general who unfortunately commanded them had cut himself off. The conse quence of this success appeared terrible to any sight. The enemy could arrive by a rapid move at the capi tal before it would be in my power to render assist ance ; the enemy could by a flank movement cut off my detached forces ; the enemy had obtained as a fruit of his victory the power of bkinging'the whole of his forces against only a part of mine ; and, finally, the enemy, owing to the insubordination and want of skill of one general, could turn to his profit the ad vantages of my position. " The advanced fort of San Antonio could not be maintained, because our line had been cut, and I gave orders for its garrison to withdraw whilst I pro tected the fort and Nte de pont of Churubusco. The enemy advanced and cut off part cf the troops that were retreating, and appeared in front of our nearest defences. There again I placed myself at the h ead of our troops, and my efforts cos t the enemy a good deal of blood. The losses, a lth o ugh much to be lamented, naturally proceed e d f rom th e retreat, which was hasty, unexpected, and confused, owing to the trains that had to pass through a narrow lane, flanked in its whole extent. The defence was made from line to line until we came to th e thi r d, w h ere I personally restrained the enemy and save d th e ca pital, which had been so unexpectedly plac e d i n d anger . "When I was occupied on th e 22d i n re-organizing forces and manning the batt er i es, h av i ng placed my self again at the head of a co l umn w hi c h should offer resistance to the last extremity, I received a commu nication from the general-in-chief of the enemy, pro posing an armistice that might give time to listen to the propositions which may be made by the Commis' sioner of the Gover nment o f the Un i te d St a tes, to put an end to the cont es t b etween the two na ti o ns. I ac cepted the armi s ti ce, and after having b a d a meeting of the minister s , I resolved to listen to th e above propositions. "The suspension of hostilities is always a because war is al ways an evil, particular l y a fter the failure of grand com bi nations. To free t h e capital of its horrors, or at l eas t to retar d them, was an emergency which I cou ld not resist, an d the more so when it presented th e means of arriving at an honour able peace. blessing, " IVhen two nati ons are in a state o f wa r, they enjoy the right of rec i procity, making proposit ions, which presupposes th e o b ligation to l i sten .

To adopt this step the constitu tions confers ample powers on me. "Devoted to interests so noble and exalted, I must at all hazards maintain the prestige and respect of the supreme authority ; particularly at present, when if the factions should molest the Government, they would deprive it of the liberty of deliberating, and it would fall into utter insignificance in the presence of our enemies. I will still be more explicit. Attempts at subversive sedition will be punished in an exem plary manner.

" Ministry of War and Marine, Mexico, Aug. '2l, 1847. " Sir,—The undersigned, Minister of War and Marine of the Government of the United States of Mexico, is instructed by his Excellency the Pre sident, Commander-in-Chief, to reply to your com munication, in which you propose to enter into an armistice, with a view to avoid the further shedding of blood between the two great republics of this con tinent, for the purpose of hearing the propositions which may be made for this purpose by the Commis sioner of his Excellency the Presi lent of the United States of America, who is at the head-quarters of the American army. " It is certainly lamentable that in consequence of the disregard of the rights of the Mexican republic the shedding of blood has become inevitable between the first republics of the American continent; and your Excellency with great propriety qualifies this unnatural, as well on account of its origin as the antecedents of two people identified by their rela tions and their interests. The proposttion of an ar mistice to terminate this scandal has been received with pleasure by his Excellency the President, Com mander-in-Chief, as it will enable the propositions to be entertained which the Commissioner of the Presi dent of the United States may make for the honour able termination of the war. " Accordingly the President, Commander-in-Chief, directs me to say to your Excellency that he accepts the proposition to enter into an armistice, and for this object he has appointed the Brigadier-Generals D. Ignacio Mora y Villamil and D. Benito Quijano, who will be present at the time and place which may be designated. " His Excellency also instructed me to communi cate his satisfaction that the army of the United States should occupy convenient and fitting quarters, trust ing and hoping that they will be out of reach of the fire of the Mexican fortifications.

" Most Excellent Sir,—A.ll hlexicans, but espe cially the inhabitants of this capital, have been wit nesses to the extraordinary exertions which have been made by his Excellency the Provisional President to collect an army capable of meeting that of the United States and restoring the lustre of the arms of the republic. They are witnesses also that he has fought with intrepidity, exposing his own life until the mo ment when the victory was lost and the enemy was at the gates• of the capital. " In these circumstances, and when the numerous inhabitants of Mexico have made every kind of sacri fice to carry on the war, it is one of the most imperi ous duties of the first magistrate to prevent the cala mities inseparable from an assault, and to avoid all the consequences of a violent occupation of the city. To this end, in the exercise of his constitutional power, and in conformity with the wishes of Congress communicated to him on the 16th of July last, he has determined to hear the propositions which Mr. Nicholas Trist has to make on the part of the United States, and to consent that in the meantime there shall be a suspension of hostilities. " As this question is of the utmost interest to the Republic, his Excellency desires that the National Congress should take their appropriate part, and ac cordingly he directs me to notify your Excellency that you may take measures diligently to summon the Deputies to assemble at twelve o'clock to-day. " I reiterate the assurances of my distinguished consideration. God and Liberty. " JOHN RA AtON PACHECO." I AMERICAN:REPUDIATION. (From the New York Herald.) The efforts made within the past two years by those States having large debts, the interest on which has for many years been in arrears, to resume pay ment and place their financial affairs in a prosperous condition, have failed to meet with that response from those interested as bondholders which they deserve, and under the circumstances are entitled to. There is a large class of foreign bondholders who encourage the most gross attacks upon those States which have partially resumed the payment of interest on their debts, who imagine that these attacks have been the prime cause of the resumption, so far as it goes, and who believe that if they are kept up, and the cry of repudiation continually kept ringing in our ears, a more speedy resumption of the full payment will fol low. English papers are feed by English capitalists holding these bonds to continually harp on repudia tion, believing that it advances their interests, and will speedily bring about a resumption of payment, and an acknowledgment of all the claims against the States. They will be most awfully mistaken in this matter. These attacks have already produced a feeling in op position to these movements; and in every instance where it can be made available, efforts will be made to put off the day of payment, rather than to hasten it. We have seen this feeling exhibited in the State of Illinois, in the convention recently held for the revisal of the constitution. A tax of two mills on every dollar of taxable property has been anthorised for the payment of the principal of the internal im provement debt, leaving the canal debt, which is held mostly by foreigners, to take its chance with the canal and canal property. This distinction was made principally on account of the course pursued by the trustees of the foreign bondholders in relation to the progress of the canal, and the speeches in the British Parliament about using coercive measures to bring about the payment of debts due to British subjects from the States of this Union. The foreign bond holders have obtained all they will from these repu diating States, as their organs choose to call them. The laws passed enforcing taxes will be carried out as strictly as possible, the payments promised in the way of interest will e made as promptly as the re ceipts will permit, and all laws relating to their public debts will be carried out to the letter, but no thing more. Even in the event of a full resumption being within their means much sooner than antici pated, we do not believe any efforts would be made to carry it into effect. The disposition manifested by the Legislature of Illinois and Indiana to make satisfactory arrange ments with their creditors have been misconstrued by the foreign portion of the bondholders, and such remarks have been made by their organs, and such the course pursued in reference to the former State, by their agents here, that all anxiety to do anything more has been removed, and a feeling just the reverse taken its place. Since the arrangements referred to have been perfected, these States have been accused of repudiating a portion of their debts—a term never applied to them before. After having given up their lands to their creditors, placed their canals in the hands of trustees, appointed by the very bond holders making this charge—after having placed the arrears of interest in a tangible shape, to draw interest after a certain period—after, in fact, acknowledging every farthing of their debts, prin cipal and interest, and secured them by pledging all their available property—after increasing the taxes for the purpose of raising revenue to meet promptly the payments of interest, they are met with the charges of repudiation, and accused of swindling their creditors, by forcing them to accept the terms proposed within a certain period, or lose their claims against the State. There are undoubtedly many innocent parties in jured by the bad policy pursued by those who are no better judges of the character of our people than to suppose that they are to be intimidated by any of their threats, or forced into measures by their sneers, which would not willingly be done otherwise; but such is always the case , and we re g ret it is so. The character of our people, particularly those of the wes t e rn states, will be under stood, p erha p s, when it is too late to do these foreigners any good. It is well enough for the to know that they will gain little by the course they are now pursuing. very COMMERCIAL NEWS. REVIEW OF THE NEW YORK MARKET. (From the New York Commercial Ad.) WEDNESDAY, verttser S. 22. Business generally continues on a limited scale, and th e market for most descripti ons of forei g n and domestic produce are rather depres sed. The public mi▪ nd has of late become excited by the occurrence of farther failure, and generally speaking there is a reluctance to operate beyond the supply of im mediate wants, the spi▪ rit of spe culation having of late material l y subs ided. A sum mary of markets by the Britannia will be found under its appropriate head.

THE LIPS or OYSTERS.--Oysters lead, on the whole, as is known, a tolerably quiet life; but even they cannot get through this world it appears without their troubles. Now they are attacked by a kind of star-fish that lies watching till they open their shell to take in fresh water, and then darts in its long tough arms, kills them, and consumes them in a fresher state than they have ever yet been enjoyed by any epicure ; now t h e i r sorrows proceed from within, in the shape of a small worm that destroys them ; and sometimes, according to the testimony of the people of Sylt, they are attacked successfully by a bird called thence an oyster-fisher, who disturbs their tranquillity whenever he can find an op portunity of introducing his long sharp beak. When this may be, however, does not seem very clear. There are also various diseases by which they are occa sionally attacked; but those who are so fortunate as to escape these dangers, pass their time comfortably enough, for thirty or forty, or even up to a hundred years, unless fate has allotted them the more honourable destiny of being dredged up, packed into barrels, and sent off to Copenhagen, Berlin, Hamburgh, or St. Petersburgh, where their merits are duly appreciated.—People's Journ. The painting by Raphael, known by the name of the " Virgin of Loretto," of which there are numerous copies, though the original has long been believed to have been lost, or destroyed, has been at last found at Genoa, by the Marquis de Spinola, Grand Chamberlain, and President of the Albertine Academy. The distin guished connoisseur, instead of converting this precious discovery to enrich his own collection, has offered it to the King of Sardinia, who at once decided upon making the acquisition. All the artists of Turin have examined it, and pronounced it to be authentic. I f
