WHITBY.—STOPPAGE OF MESSRS. CAM;
PION'S BANK, AT Wiscrire.—An extraordinary sen aiion and
panic was felt in this town on Mon,ay last, by the closing'°'
the banking establishment of Messrs. Campion, in Chloe.'
street. The parties in this old established and well-known fills
are not only bankers, but ship-builders, ship-owners, mantas"

Messrs. Campion's bank closed on Monday, nay, in fe,,__et•

ship-yards, smiths' shot s, block and mast yards, and the

11. ExAs. —We see by an article from a late
number of the New Orleans Bee, that information has loco
received from Sae Antonio de Itexar, a frontier town of Texas,
that the Mexicans, 8,000 strong, wider General Arista, we;
making preparations for a campaign, ostensibly against th
Ind ans, but,which was intended for the invasion and subjega:
that of Texas. Similar rumours have been put in circuien?"
by person; opposed to the interests of the young RepubliF;
ever since the decisive battle of San Jacinto, and have by their
represenations no doubt deterred many favourably dispose(' '"
Texas from emigrating thither, or embarking in its ceule;
To those in the least conversant with the history of the tie_
countries, the absurdity of entertaining for a moment the idea
that Mexico will ever be able again to subjugate Texas, i 3 evt-
dent. And not the less improbable is the idea, that Melte° I:
striving to raise a force for this purpose, when it is well knoll
that all her energies and resnur-es are at this time required 4
home, to quell internal disturbances, and resist the insurrec-
tions continually waging throushout her provinces. The fact
is, that Texas was never in a more prosperous condition than.
at present, and to those disposed to embark in her interests, the
most favourable inducements are presented.
HER MAJESTY'S THEATRE.—Madame Loewe
made her first appearance, on the occasion of Tamburini's
be-
nefit on Thursday, as Alaida, in Bellini's opera of La Straniff:r
one of the pao. est compositions in existence, but so far au°
able to a debutante, that the interest rest efttirely on the hero'
ine, and that there is much room fur histrome display,"la
drama being infinitely be ter than the music. Maclaine Lieoe,.
first song was given behind the scenes, and the ear of t"_
audience was at once charmed by the truth of her intonatiptle
and the perfectness and precision of her execution. 011 her
entrance at the conclusion of this song she was 111'10,4
,'
with loud applause. in her duet with Mario she exhibited
her best qualities, though not her full power,' vel-ich was _
only called forth on rare occasions. Her voice is

no r 0
fine quality, though not remarkably full, and when h
tible
no unusual force, is entirely under her control, and suscep
th of
of the nicest light and shade, while she evinces a -el' _
feelirg and a beautiful correctness and neatness of
generally. As an actress she is entitled to a very high rank'
and those bursts of passion which seemed to us less advantage'
ous to the sinker were often magnificent exhibitions of j,i7
trionie genius. Her countenance, though not striking at first,
is capable of the greatest variety of exression her "
penetrsting, and beaming with in.. iligence, and she is able to
exiless a restless anxiety by glances which are sineularlY gt,
and vivid, and sometimes to assume a fixed h."' whi of
almost supernatural. Perhaps. so complete an absorption
