LIVERPOOL, SATURDAY MoRNING:L—The Hibernia,
from New York, arrived here last night; after a six-
teen days' passage. She sailed three days after the
Great Western Not being a regular' packet, the
Hibernia has brought but few papers. The only item
of news in the papers by this arrival is the following,
relative to the invasion of the Texas by ,Mexico, which
appears in the Evening Star of the 12th May :
" The steam-packet .Columbia has •arrived at New
Orleand :from Texas, -bringing dates to the 21st ult.
-The news is highly important. Mexico is in earnest,
and is determined to invade Texas with a large force.
The militia has been called out, and every third man is
ordered'to the frohtier. The Mexicans fell into a
serious error in underrating, the power and determina-
'nation of the Texians to sustain their position, and
.hence the calamity of San Jacinto. The Texians, on
the other hand, are in error in treating the approach of
the Mexicans with indifference and contempt. Mexico
having made peace with France and a treaty with the
United States—having put 'down internal disaffection,
is' now concentrating her energies against Texas, and
preparations in anticipation of this important event
should have been made at an early day. At all events
it is not too late to heat back the foe; it ihould be
promptly done, and we hope it will be successful." ,

THE HON. MRS. NORTON'S NEW WORK.-
It is difficult to conceive any literary novelty, the announce-
ment of which is calculated to excite more general attention
and interest than that of a volume of new poems by Mrs.
Norton. The intensely poetical character of her mind—the
celebrity of her former poetical productions—the long silence
of her pen—the dearth of true poetry among us—and other
circumstances to which we need not allude--all conspire to
make her forthcoming volume looked for with eager curiosity
and anxious interest. It is dedicated, we understand, to the
Duchess of Sutherland, in a copy of very touching verses.
There is something peculiarly pleasing in one beautiful woman
thus using her talents to hand down to posterity the charms
and virtues of another. Whether the principal poem, entitled
" The Dream," shadows forth any portion of the personal his-
tory of the distinguished writer is more than we have heard._
Court Journal.

CHARLES I.—Sir Robert Halford was one of
the most stanch Royalists in Leicestershire, and frequently as-
sisted the King with money in his difficulties. It is a remark-
able circumstance, that the present doscendant of the family,
Sir Henry Halford, should be the only person, besides George
IV., who viewed the body of the decapitated King, upon its
discovery some years since at Windsor. Sir Henry cut off a
lock of the King's hair, and made Sir Walter Scott a present
of a part, which he had set in virgin gold; the word " Re-
member" surrounding it in highly-relieved black letters.—
Literary World.

COCKERMOUTII ELECTION.—The polling for
Cockermouth is fixed for this day and for Monday.
General Wyndham, a gentleman who, some time since,
succeeded to the Cumberland estates of the late Earl of
Egremont, has declared himself a candidate for the re-
presentation of the borough, in opposition to Mr. Hors-
man, who has committed the unpardonable of fence (in
Tory eyes) of accepting ()flee under the Whig Govern-
ment ; and has during the week been engaged in an active
canvass of the borough. His address is cunningly worded to
catch loose votes ; and if the General could only have con-
trived to keep out of sight the companions by whom he is sur-
rounded, it is possible he might have imposed himself upon some
of the electors—if not as a Reformer, at least as no Tory ; but
if such were his intentions, they have been sadly frustrated by
the appearance of his allies on the scene of action. The
number of electors for Cockermouth is 242. The Tories, as
usual, talk loudly of the certainty of victory ; but it is mere va-
pour. They know that Mr. Horsman's majority will be consi-
derable.—CarlisleJournal.
From Henry Cowper, Esq., of Tewen-waters,
Herts, to Messrs. S. and B. Solomons, 39, Albemarle-street,
Piccadilly.—Gentlemen, having been deaf for many years, I
was induced from recommendation to try your Invisible Voice
Conductors, and I have great pleasure in telling you, that
they enable me to hear persons in company and at a place of
worship most distinctly ' • and in consequence of the great ad-
vantage which I have derived, I have recommended many
persons to you, and I am happy to state that their report is
similar to mine, most favourable. The Spectacles and Hand-
glass which you have sent me are very excellent, and suit my
sight precisely, and surpass anything of the kind I have ever
tried ; the transparency of which is so brilliant, that although
I have passed my 136th year, the 22d of May last, yet they en
able ire to read, &c., by candle-light with the greatest ease
and comfort to myself.—Gentlemen, I return you soy best
thanks, and remain your most obedient servant, HENRI
CowrEit.-22d of June, 1839.-39, Albemarle-street. Not
to be had at any other house. In consequence of Mr. Henry
Cowper receiving applications from all quarters to know whe-
ther the above letter is authentic or not, he has addressed a
letter to the Standard, which was inserted in that paper on
the 6th of April last, stating that it was sn, and that in conse-
quence of his extreme age and increasing infirmity, requested
he might not be troubled with any further inquiries.
ASSAULT AND CRIM CON.—At the Guild-

hall, on Tuesday, a man named Kingdon, was charged with
violently assaulting his wife on Saturday night and Sunday
morning last. He admitted the assault, but pleaded in excuse
that on coming home on Saturday night shortly after ten
o'clock, he found his wife in bed with a boy of little more than
sixteen years of age, and that very much exasperated at her
conduct, he had beaten both her and her companion. The
woman on her oath denied the statement, but it was confirmed
by the testimony of three witnesses, one of whom is the mother
of the lad who was the partner of her guilt. The Bench in
dismissing the case, commented with great severity on the in-
famy of the woman's conduct, which had been much aggra-
vated by the perjury she had committed, but they said they
were bound as Magistrates to tell the defendant that he must
refrain from assaulting his wife in future.— Western Times.
On Friday last, four boys hired a boat of Mr.
J. Stone, North Quay, for the purpose of a sail, the morning
was very squally, and on their reaching the half-mile-point, on
Breydon, the boat was suddenly capsized, and all plunged into
the water; two of the boys were brothers, one of whom was
with Reece rescued from a watery grave, and by the prompt
assistance of Messrs. Aldred, Dashwood, and Smith, Surgeons,
restore.l, the bodies of the others have not yet been found.—
Norwich Mercury.
DEATH AMONG THE SWALLOWS.—An Ir-
vine Correspondent, whose communication came toe late to be
attended to last week, mentions that hundreds of dead swallows
were to be seen lying on the road sides, and by the banks of
the Irvine and Garnock. The cause of this mortality among
our swift-winged visiters the writer attributes to the want of
food, the severe cold north-cast winds, prevailing at the time,
having entirely destroyed the insects upon which they exist.
A similar fatality has been observed in this neighbourhood,
though not to such an extent. A number of dead swallows
were picked up on the banks of the Doon—and the keeper of
Burns's Monument, the other day, caught ene which had fallen
apparently from weakness, and which regained its strength on
being fed. This fact corroborates the supposition of our cor-
respondent. Owing to the almost unprecedentedly warm
weather in April, the swallows were induced to visit our cli-
mate this year much earlier and in greater numbers than the
oldest people remember; and they have unfortunately suffered
by the all but winter-intensity of cold which, contrary to ex-
pectation, succeeded the precocious influence of April.—Ayr
Observer.
