CHAMBER MUSIC.

RE'"R EIGHT celebrated TRIOS for
PIANO, VIOLIN, and VIOLINCELLO, each Bs., or
the Set .L 3 volumes, boards, 2/. 12s. 6d. ; ditto for Piano, Flute,
and Bass, same price as above.
These truly charming and melodious 'compositions will be found
alike interesting to the amateur and to the professor ; as they are
amazingly effective and brilliant without being difficult, and the
parts are alternately obligato, and full of interest for each instrument.
So highly ere Reissiger's Trios esteemed on the Continent, that no
pianist. nor even violin or violincello player, is without them. In
fact, whether we consider them with respect to the invention and
originality of ideas, the classical richness and piquancy of their har-
monies, or the variety, freshness, and beauty of the melodies with
which they abound—we are compelled to allow that they deservedly
rank with the immortal Trios of Beethoven, Hummel, '3lozart, and
s
Onslow. It is therefore with great pleasure that Illessrs. R. Cock
and Co. are enabled to offer this new and correct edition of these
exquisite productions, beautifully and uniformly
printed on
stout paper, at one half the cost of the foreign edition.

NEW ORLEANS, JULY 30.—TExAs.—A rumour
came through the Attakapag Gazette, of July 23, that another
battle had been fought between the Mexican and Texian ar-
mies, in which seven or eight hundred of the Mexicans were
were killed. A young man who came passenger in the schoo-
ner Henrietta, who was one of Fannin's men who escaped the
slaughter by the circumstance of his speaking the Mexican
language, informs us at the time of his departure from Mate-
mores, about a fortnight since, the Mexican army quartered
there amounted to three thousand men, and that about four
thousand were also encamped near the city. He states that
he saw and conversed with several Chiefs of Indian tribes--
and that it is his confident belief that an arrangement has
been entered into between them and the Mexican General
Urrea, by which five thousand warriors of the Cherokee, Sac
and Fox nations to join the Mexicans in their offensive opera-
tions. By his account the Mexican army was nearly in readi-
ness to march, their baggage waggons being packed the sol-
diers having taken the oath of fidelity, and carried their ban-
ners to be .‘ christened "by the Church. This intelligence of
a contemplated junction of Mexican and aboriginal savages,
only confirms the accounts we published in letters a few days
since from Matamoras. The Mexicans, our informant says,
still denounce hitter vengeance against the Texians, and
swear they will take no prisoners but kill every enemy upon
the battle field—though there appears to be great repugnance
among officers and men against revisiting Texas.
DEAF AND DUMB.—A single family exists in
Quebec, where seven of the children were deaf mutes, and the
more humane persons of Lower Canada are now endeavouring
to have a Deaf and Dumb Asylum. The attempt ha! once
failed. We are glad to see the Quebec people referring to
our own benevolent institutions for the deaf and dumb as
worthy of imitation, and hope that before long Canada may
be blessed with the same.
LABOURERS WANTED.—Many stone-masons are
wanted in Washington to lay the foundations of the New
Treasury Buildings,—two ciollars a day:are offered for their
services ; bricklayers will
aalnsuotnreornorbetheinfidresmt demand. At
ship
pt
car.
Philadelphia Navy Yard,
penters, and all other mechanics are wanted ; 2 dollars 50 cents.
a day are offered for the former, and a proportionable increase
York,
of wages for the latter. In New hundreds of mechanics
can find quick employ and great wages. Thus rolls the wheel
of enterprise, and while it rolls on we regret to see that our
streets arc not entirely free
,from the idle and vicious. The
poor man with health who will not toil during this glorious
harvest, which, we assure him, will not last for eve). ought to
starve. There is now no other alternative—indusi;y or star-
vation. _

MORE LYNCIIING.—A company of negro slaves,
headed by a free coloured man, and a white man, lately begun
to celebrate the anniversary of the " St. Domingo Massacre."
The free negro was tied, and received a sound drubbing, with
orders to leave the parish in thirty days. The white man re-
ceived 25 lashes, and orders to leave in twenty-four hours. The
citizens wtre then called together, and sanctioned this cool
proceeding by passing resolutions in favour of his honour or
the judge.

GRATITUDE.--On Thursday evening, at a gen-
tleman's door in Portland-place, a miserable-looking female
solicited relief about the dinner hour of the family. -The ser-
vant, out of compassion, banded her a bason of bread and
broth, and a silver table-spoon. The bell rang, and the ser-
vant attended to it, leaving the woman at the door, who, in
return for the humanity she met with, walked off, carrying the
articles above-mentioned with her.
BREACH OF PROMISE OF MARRIAGE.---We learn
from the Cinciannaii Whig, that a case of some interest was
tried last week in the Court of Common Pleas in that city,
It was an action of damages for a breach of marriage promist,
in which Miss Frances-- Wyatt was plaintiff, and Solomon
Menken defendant. The fair plaintiff is stated to be about 16
years of age, and the defendant about 45. She is also sister-
in-law to the defendant, and resided in his family. The fact
of the promise and its non-fulfilment appears to have been
established to. the satisfaction of the Jury, who returned a ver-
dict for the plaintiff of six thousand dollars damages. The
defendant was proved to be worth twenty thousand dollars;
but a new trial had been moved on the ground of excessive da-
mages.—New York Paper.
A correspondent has sent us a calculation, from
which it would appear that the whole human race, if collected
together in one spot, would not occupy a space much greater
than the extent of that on which our metropolis stands. He
supposes the population of the globe to be equal to
1,000,000,000 souls, and the average space occupied by each
individual to belt square feet, the whole of the human family
collected together In one column would cover a square of
47,063 feet, or about SI
