To carry out effectually and economically steam communication
with those countries is the object of this Company, for whose ope-
rations there is an ample and profitable field, especially as regards
our numerous and valuable colonies in the Southern Pacific, which
have an increasing intercourse with India as well as with England
—are the only portions of the British empire unconnected by steam
navigation with the parent state, and for which a charter by the
overland route has been exclusively granted to this Company.
The route sanctioned by the Lords of the Admiralty for this Com-

which are, that. Sydney, the metroplitan capital of the whole of the
Australasian colonies, would be brought to a certainty within 64 or
65 days of London (frequently in 60), and within less than 30 days
of India. The coal stations ors convenient, excellent coal from the

The object of this Aesociation Is totally to abolish the use of
climbing boys, who, notwithstanding the penalties to which those
employing them are subjected by the 3d and 4th Victoria, cap. 85,
are continually resorted to. This breach of the law is acquiesced in
by a large portion of the public, from a conviction of the utterim-
possltility in innumerable cases of cleansing a chimney or flue with
the old machine. For the laudable purpose of furthering the objects
of the law by avoiding all necessity for its infringement, the inge-
HIM and effective Ramoneur machine has been invented. This
invention consists of four brushes forming a square head, which
by means of elastic springs contrasts or expands, according to
the small or extended space in which the machine. moves, thereby
creating an even pressure on all tour sides of a chimney. The
rods attached to this head or brush are supplied at intervals with

universal spring Joints, capable of turning even a right angle
and the whole is surmounted with a double revolving ball, having
also a universal spring Joist, which leads the brush with certainty
past every angle, and into every corner, cleansing its route most
perfectly. The capabilities of this machine are heat demonstrated
by the fact, that it is exclusively used in the Government and
numerous public offices, while the patronage• bestowed by a large
number of the nobility and gentry in continuing their annual con-
tracts to the patentees evidences their sense of its superiority, as well
as of the philanthropic views of the projectors. Detsiled prospectuses
may be obtained, and a working model of the machine seen, at the
offices of the solicitor, F, Dolman, Esq., n, Jennyn-street, Sit.

But proud as I am, let me frankly confess,
That I'm prouder of MOSES and EON'S sporting-dress.
Your coat, Master Tray, I acknowledge is fine.
Yet, believe me, I wouldn't take your coat for mine.

The more do I value ; and now let's away—

THE UNITED STATES AND
MEXICO.

We have received by the Missouri steam ship, of
the French line of packets, intelligence from New
York to the 25th ult., and full details of the capture
of Mexico by the American army. They do not
materially differ from the accounts which we pub-
lished on Saturday. The papers contain innumer-
able descriptions of the several battles in front of
Mexico, and a full list of the killed and wounded.
The total return of loss, including the missing, is as
follows :

Killed. Wounded. Missing
1. General Worth's Division... 140 766 27
2. General Twiggs' Division... 36 ]94 10
3. Genera Pillow's Division ... 21 111 10

Total ... ... 238 1,338 47
238
1,338

Total killed, wounded, and misssing 1,623
The Mexican loss is said to have been immense.
Five generals, three colonels, seven lieutenant-
colonels, and above 100 other officers, with 800
men, had been taken prisoners. The accounts previ-
ously received of the execution of deserters are fully
confirmed. Fifty are said to have been put to
death. The sentence of the court-martial upon one
batch of these unhappy men, consisting of 29, is as
follows :

" The Court found the above-named -prisoners
severally guilty as charged, and sentenced each (two-
thirds of the members of the Court in every case con-
curring in the sentence) ' to be hanged by the neck
until he is dead.'

" The General-in-Chief approves the foregoing
proceedings and sentences, with the following excep-
tions :—The cases of Thomas Riley, company 1,3 d
infantry; James Mills, company H, same regiment;
and John Reilly, company h., sth infantry.
" These three prisoners severally committed the
crime of desertion as charged, in the early part of
April, 1846. At that date the United States were at
peace with Mexico and all the world ; for the present
war did not break out, in fact, till a later date, and
was not recognised to exist by the Congress of the
United States till the 13th of the following month.
" No higher punishment can, therefore, be legally
inflicted upon those atrocious offenders, T. Riley, J.
Mills, and J. Reilly, than that prescribed for a state
of peace, viz., 50 lashes with a raw hide whip well
laid on the bare back of each, and their punishment is
commuted accordingly, with the addition that each be
branded on a cheek with the letter D, kept a close
prisoner as long as this army remainsin Mexico, and
then be drummed out of the service.

" So much of the punishment in the case of Henry
Newer, company D, 4th artillery, as relates to hang-
Mg, is, on the recommendation of many members of
the Court, remitted ; and a like remission is made
in the case of Edward M'Herron, company G, same
regiment, out of consideration for a son, private in
the same company, who has remained faithful to his
colours.

" There being some slight circumstances of miti-
gation in the several cases of Hezekiah Aides, John
Bartley, Alexander M`liee, and John Bowers, all
of company 11, 3d artillery, their sentences are corn-
muted as in the cases of T. Riley, J. Mills, and J.
Reilly above."
General Quitman had been appointed Governor of
Mexico, and had received the contribution of 150,000
dollars levied upon the city. He is thus described by
a correspondent of the New York Herald 2--
" To gallant Mississippi belongs the honour of
giving to Mexico her first American Governor, and
we may also add, her first wise Governor. General
Scott displayed equal judgment and magnanimity
in this appointment. General Quitman had the mis-
fortune to he excluded from the battle of Cerro
Gordo and of Contreras. His brave spirit and ac-
knowledged military talents had met with disap-
pointments, which no doubt grieved his gallant
soul. But in the closing scenes he availed himself
of the long delayed opportunity, and covered himself
with glory in the various difficult operations which
preceded the occupation of the city. His admirable
fitness for the Governorship of Mexico will occur to,
all who are acquainted with General Quitman. He
is a profound jurist and elegant scholar, well rend in
history, and familiar with several of the modern lan-
guages, including, we believe, Spanish. He is, too,
a cool, deliberative, firm, and most rigidly honest man.
We predict that his administration will be more effec-
tive and successful than that of any other ruler Mexico
has ever had."

The new Governor occupied the palace of the
late President.

It seems, however, that the possession of their
capital by the United States army was not quietly
acquiesced in by the Mexicans, even after their army
under Santa Anna had deserted it, and their own un-
disciplined efforts were found insufficient to resist
their formidable invaders. The following general
order by General Scott points to a system of covert
assassination, by which we are assured that he bad
already lost many of his best men :

" Head• quarters of the Army, Mexico, Sept. 22.
" The General.in-Chief has received through many
kind sources, Mexican and others, undoubted infor-
mation that an extensive conspiracy is on foot about
us, to surprise (by means of an insurrection) our
guards and quarters, and to murder our officers and
men.

"Mexican officers and soldiers in disguise, who
had not the courage to defend their capital, are
the leaders in this conspiracy, aided by some
1,500 thieves and murderers, who were turned
loose for that purpose, and to prey upon the peace-
able inhabitants, the night before the triumphal entry
of the American army into this city.
" The conspirators have also the services of several
false priests, who dishonour the holy religion which
they only profess for the special occasion,
" Until ready for the insurrection, the disguised
villains hope to do us much harm in detail. Their
plan is to assassinate stragglers, particularly drunken
men ; to entice individuals or small parties into shops
to drink, and to stab them when in their cups; to
entice our gallant Roman Catholic soldiers, who have
done so much honour to our colours, to desert,
under a promise of lands in California, which our
arms have already conquered, and which for ever will
remain a part of the United States.
" Let all our soldiers, Protestant and Catholic, re-
member the fate of the deserters taken at Churubusco.
These deluded wretches were also promised money
and land; but the Mexican Government, by every
sort of ill-usage, drove them to take up arms against
the country and flag they had voluntarily sworn to
support, and next placed them in front of the battle
—in positions from which they could not possibly
escape the conquering valour of our glorious ranks.
After every effort of the General-in-Chief, to save,
by judicious discrimination, as many of those mise-
rable convicts as possible, 50 of them have paid for
their treachery by an ignominious death on the
gallows.
" Again the General-in-Chief calls on his brethren
in arms, of all grades, to be constantly on the alert,
by day as by night ; never to appear in the streets
without side-arms; to walk out in parties of twos,
threes, or more, and to avoid all obscure places, par-
ticularly treacherous dram-shops and liquor stores.
" By command of Major-General Scott.
" H. L. SCOTT, A. A. A. G."

In another order he adds:—
" There is every reason to believe that a very
large distribution of knives and dirks has recently
been made to liberated convicts (thieves and mur-
derers) for the purpose of assassinating American
soldiers found drunk or otherwise off their guard.
" Measures are in progress to search out and seize
for execution the instigators and leaders of those as-
sassins. In the mean time guards and patrols will
search all suspicious persons, disarm, and, if necessary,
confine them for trial and punishment."
Advices of a later date, hewever, state that confi-
dence was rapidly being established ; that the shops
were being re-opened, and that the markets were
well supplied.

The Mexican army, at the latest accounts, was
slowly wending its way towards Queretaro. They
numbered less than 3,000 men, under the command
of General llerrera. Santa Anna, it was very gene-
rally believed, was making his way to the seaboard,
for the purpose of embarking to a foreign country.
Other accounts describe him as making another
stand at Puebla, where, however, the American
army was said to be so securely posted as to defy
attack.

According to the Nezv York Herald, there was no
prospect of peace. The Congress would meet at
Queretaro, with Pena y Pena as President, and it is
said that no single Member of it would vote in favour
of acceding to the terms proposed by Mr. Trist. The
cession of New Mexico at any rate was out of the
