the 64 40 men, and the 49 men ; and we doubt whether he
poaseases the moral courage or magnanimity to rise above
such influences.

Mr. Haywood and his friends, on the one side, and General
Cass and his supporters on the other, are constantly visiting
the President. It is supposed by some that the " notice"
will be communicated to Mr. Pakenham—by others, that it
will be sent to Mr. M'Lane, to be by him presented to the
British Minister, coupled with an invitation to nego-
tiate. On the other hand, the President's " own organ,"
calls and clamours for Congress to pass all the Oregon nwa-
sures—measures for taking legal and military possession of
Oregon—establishing mails, block-houses, forts, courts, and
general jurisdiction. The organ, however, does not specify
how far north-49 or 54 40—these measures are to ope-
rate in the territory. We do not believe that any of these
measures can pass the Senate till the negotiation has been
closed.

We have rumours that a battle had taken place on tha Rio
Grande, and that General Taylor had met with a reverse.
The departure of General Worth from the army has given
rise to rumours of dissensions in the American camp.
If General Taylor should be defeated, Mr. Polk and his
Administration would be execrated. A defeat of the Ame-
rican army on the Rio Grande would almost cause an imme-
diate and voluntary invasion of Mexico—thousards of the
Western riflemen would rush to the Rio Grande, and pro-
bably to Mexico. The interest for news is intense.
As to the financial and commercial measures before Con-
gress, nothing is certain—nothing definite. The adminis-
tration of Mr. Polk is reaching a crisis.
LATEST FROM THE ARMY OF OCCUPATION.— We have
been favoured with the following extract of a letter from an
officer of the U. S. army, which appears to contain one day
later intelligence from General Taylor's camp opposite
Mat amoras, than the accounts from the New Orleans papers
published in another column. The latest dates from his camp
are there stated to be the 12th inst., whereas we are here
told that on the 13th the Mexicans "formally declared war."
Of course a declaration of war, properly so called, could not be
made by General Ampudia • and perhaps nothing more is
meant than what is represented in the N. 0. accounts to have
occurred on the 12th. These accounts do not mention the
capture of Colonel Cross by the Mexicans. This letter also
states (which the New Orleans papers do not) that the ob-
ject of the steamer Colonel Harney in proceeding to New
O. leans, was to procure reinforcements.
BRAZOS DE SANTIAGO, APRIL 14.—8 y the date of my
letter you will see that we are in Mexico, or within a few
miles of it, the main body of the U. S. army being encamped
28 miles above us, opposite the Matamoras. within 200 yards
of the walls, and we are expecting to have a fight every
hour. The Mexicans having formally declared war yester •
day, every man at this place is furnished with arms, and we
are expecting to be attacked here at the same time General
Taylor is attacked above, this being the depot for the whole
supplies of the army. onel Cross, Deputy Quarter Master
General, having ridden a little too far out of the camp, was
taken prisoner by the Mexicans, and is now in Matamoras.
Our army numbers about 3,000, the Mexicans 7,ooo,—large
odds, and I should not be surprised if we get licked. The
steamer Harney leaves here in the morning as an express to
New Orleans for reinforcements.

P.S. April 15.—The Mexicans have made a little move,
but of no importance.
NEW YORK MONEY MARKET, APRIL 29.
The market is heavy to-day, and prices have fallen off a
fraction, compared with those current at yesterday's second
board. The news from Europe is not considered, in the
street as very favourable, and the Bears are operating exten-
sively for a further decline in quotations.
Compared with the prices current at the first board yester-
day, Long Island shows an improvement of % per cent.;
Canton, %; Harlem, 34 ; Norwich and Worcester, 34 ' • Mor-
ris Canal, 1.4 ; Farmers' Loan, 3% ; Reading Railroad, 1.
At the second board a further improvement was realised,
in Harlem, of 3/4 per cent. ; Canton, ; Morris Canal, Ys.
There was a moderate inquiry for sterling exchange to-
day, and quotations ruled at 93/4 a 10 per cent. premium. An
extensive demand is anticipated to-morrow (Thursday), and
the rates will probably advance to a specie point.
The Bank of the state of Georgia has declared a semi-an-
nnal dividend of three per cent., payable on demand.

SHERIFFS' CoURT.—(THIS DAY.)
(Before Mr. Under-Sheriff BURCHELL.)
BLACK MAN V. OBBARD.

PARE Momrr AND PRIZE AGENTS.—The plaintiff in this
action is an outfitter, &c., in Leadenhall-street, and the
defendant is an officer in the navy. The action was brought
to recover the sum of 101. for goods sold. The defendant
pleaded that he was not indebted.
Mr. CORRIE stated the case. During the last year the de-
fendant became entitled to prize money to a considerable
amount, and having some business with Mr.'Levy, a navy
and prize agent, the latter introduced him to plaintiff, who
supplied him with a variety of articles, which were sent to
him at the Golden Cross, Charing-cross. He should prove
the order and delivery of the goods, and was at a loss to
know what the defence could be.

The plaintiff's foreman was called, and proved that the
defendant was introduced by Mr. Levy, and goods were or-
dered. On two subsequent occasions the defendant alone
called, and other goods were ordered and sent. Levy said
that the defendant was a man of property. Levy afterwards
called, and desired the accounts to be sent in to him.
Mr. THOMAS, for the defendant, called for the plaintiff's
books, and which it appeared were very irregularly kept, but
under the heading of Levy, Obbard's name, as being intro-
duced, were inserted. The invoices, however, were made out
in Levy's name. The Learned Counsel then urged that the
credit had throughout been given to Levy, who had
paid something on account, and the bill made out showed
'what he was to charge defendant in full, and by the discount
the sum he was actually to pay. Levy had become bank-
rupt, but he would be put into the witness-box.
Levy, on being called, said that he was in the habit of ad-
vancing money on prize notes. He had had dealings with
plaintiff and defendant before. Defendant was entitled to
500/. prize money. He believed he advanced one-third in
money, and dress and ornaments for the rest. Out of the
cash part 501. was a bill, which was not taken up. He could
not say to whom plaintiff gave the credit, but he, witness,
or his brother, had paid 101. on account.
The jury gave a verdict for the defendant.

MOVIE Y and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
A large business was done in Cotton at Liverpool yester-
day, 12,000 bales being sold, of which 3,000 were American
on speculation, and 1,00.) for export, at an advance of /Id.
per lb. The market ivas very firm. Shares were rather
heavy again.
At the present moment a very considerable degree of anx-
iety is felt as to the ultimate results of " winding-up "of
rail ay projects, which were brought forward last year.
Very many of the Provisional Committees (we are sorry to
say) still withhold information, though they have instructed
their legal advisers to proceed against ailottees, as to the
expenditure incurred, 'and the way in which money re-
ceived, has been expended. Surely, before a claim is
made to liquidate expenses honestly incurred, the parties upon
whom demands are made ought to have a debtor and credi-
tor account sent to them—or to have the opportunity of in-
specting the mode by which the money subscribed has been
expended. Among the most prominent of the new railway
companies which have rendered full accounts is the Man-
chester and Southampton. A fair field of discussion and
no favour was shown at the late meeting of the
proprietary body, and a determination was most strongly
exhibited to proceed with the line. This is as it ought to
be. Where the scripholders are satisfied with the conduct of
the managing committees full confidence ought to be awarded
to them.
There are no la/ e arrivals from the British Colonies to-day.

THE BATTERSEA MURDER.
Mr. Baron ALDERSON intimated that as no counsel was
engaged for the prosecution in the case of the woman Clarke,
who was charged with the wilful murder of her children by
*Towing them over Battersea-bridge, the,trial (which was in
the paper for to-day) must:stand over to a future period. The
Learned Judge then said that he felt bound in justice to Mr.
Bodkin, senior counsel fur the prosecution in the trial of Wm.
and Ann Maria Richardson for murder, to state that the
Learned Counsel had been imperatively compelled to absent
himself- from Court in order to attend his Parliamentary
duties in another place.
Mr. BODKIN thanked his Lordship for having thus publicly
stated the reason fur his non-attendance in Court during the
whole trial.
Silvester Houlahan was indicted for feloniously killing and
6laying John Stack.
The charge in this case arose from what is generally termed
ark Irish row." A party had been given at the prisoner's
on Monday, the 23d March, and words arose between
house,

seized the poker and struck Stack on the head, who fell down
insensible. he was removed to the Westminster Hospital,
where he died. The surgeon found, on
making
a post mortem
examination, that the skull had been driven in upon the
brain, causing inflammation, which terminated in death.
Mr. Hutt conducted the prosecution ; Mr. Parry at•
tended for the prisoner.
Mr. Justice Couratax summed up, and the jury returned
a verdict of Manslaughter, but with a strong recommenda-
tion to mercy.

At twelve o'clock this day an inquest was held at the

ford and a highly respectable jury, on view of the body of the
unfortunate man Blewitt, who was shot by the lad Graham
in Drury-lane, on the night of the 25th ult.
The evidence was a repetition of that given at Bow-
street, and the Coroner, in the absence of the female named
Cook, who was unable to attend from illness, adjourned the
inquiry for a week.
The father of Graham was present, and complained of the
first statement which appeared in the Times, to the effect
that he had encouraged his sou to have fire-arms, when the
opposite was the fact, he having spoke to him mildly and
otherwise on the subject; he was not aware of his having
either a gun or pistol in his possession.
