The Mercurio of Matamoras, received this day, states that
a body of Texians bad suddenly fallen upon the town of
Bexar, in order to carry off the Mexican families residing
there; and the latter having made a resistance, several per-
sons were killed. On retiring, the Texians set fire to the
town, and embarked in their vessels.
We have the following account of the Charlestown market :
" A somewhat better feeling begins to pervade our com-
mercial community, and we notice still more stability in our
market during the past week than we have been able to record
for some time past. I■ most articles there is a shade of
improvement in prices. Exchange—Bills on England, at 10
to 12 per cent. prem. ; freights continue dull."
The Belgium Moniteur received this 'milling, states that
orders are given to go into mourning for two months for the
late King of England.
In the course of yesterday there was some anxiety among
the East India merchants, owing to a report that a private
meeting took place of the East India Directors, at which some
objections were made to the renewal of the bills drawn by their
agents in China and India. To the present hour we do not
hear anything further on this subject.

quence to communicate. All continues perfectly quiet in the
City.

A letter from Vienna announces the arrival in that
capital of the Duchess Dowager of Baden, niece of the Em-
press Josephine, and says--" Her appearance has made a
great sensation. All the highest nobility concur in giving her
an honourable reception. Her daughter, the Princess Mary;
a very beautiful young woman, is, it is said, about to be mar-
ried to the young Duke Maximilian of Leuchtcnbcrg. This
Prince is said to possess a strong understanding and much
firmness of character. In person he very much resembles his
father, Prince Eugene. He is already very rich, and on the
death of his mother his revenue will be immense."

A commercial gentleman, a traveller for a cut. nail
manufacturing house in Rochdale, Lancashire, terminated his
existence in an inn in this town, on the morning of Wednes-
day last, by severing the windpipe with his penknife. The
unfortunate gentleman—who was much liked and respected
on " the road"—had been in an unsettled state of mind, re-
sulting from the effects of previous indulgence ; and, though
the inmates kept an eye upon him, he took the opportunity of
their temporary absence to commit the dreadful act. We un-
derstand, in fact, that not the slightest degree of blame, in
point of negligence or otherwise, can attach to the highly re-
spectable establishment in which the occurrence took place.—
Dumfries Courier.
Cheyne says that St. Anthony lived to 105 years
on mere bread and water, adding only a few herbs at last ;
James, the hermit, to 104; Arscnius, the tutor of the Emperor
Arcadius, to 120, 65 in the world and 55 in the desert, to
which he retired during the persecutions of the early Christians;
St. Epiphanus to 115 ; St. Jerome to about 100 ; Simon
Stylites to 109, and Romualdus to 120. And Lewis Cornaro, a
Venetian Nobleman, after he had used all other remedies in
vain, so that his life was despaired of at 40, yet recovered and
lived, by the mere force of his temperance, to near 100 years.
So great is the distress among the hand-loom weavers
of Colne and its neighbourhood, that the unemployed are al-
most driven to a state of desperation. This may be judged of
from the following circumstances ;—On Thursday night last,
when some of the weavers, whom one of the manufacturers
of Colne was able to supply with a little work, were taking it
away from the premises, they were violently attacked by a
large crowd of persons who were lying in wait for them. It
seems as if the jealousy of the unemployed, sharpened by
hunger, could not bear that there should be any thing but a
" fellowship of grief," and no exception. To such an extent
did the riot proceed, that the military from Burnley were
called in, and a detachment is now staying in Colne. We
have not heard of any very serious consequences resulting from
the riot._Manchester Guardian.
