LEICESTER AND BEDFORD RAILWAY.
Scripholders' Registration-office, 63, Meorgate-street.
Many of the Scripholders is this railway, who are of opinion that
it cannot, in the present state of railway and Government affairs, be
carried out with advantage to the Proprietors, have instructed me to
take measures for stopping the further progress of the Bill in Parlia-
ment, and for putting an end to the enormous expenses which are
now being incurred, and with that view a PETITION has been pre-
pared to the HOUSE of LORDS for the REJECTION of the BILL,
which will LIE for SIGNATURE at this office, between the hours
of Ten and Four o'clock daily, until SATURDAY, the 27th instant, ant
also at the following places, viz.:—
Leicester—Bell Hotel
Derby—Bell Hotel
Nottingham—White Lion Hotel
Leeds—White Horse Hotel
Bradford—Talbot Hotel
Huddersfield—George Hotel
Halifax—Swan Hotel
Manchester—White Bear, Piccadilly
Liverpool—Mr. Lacy, Bold-street
Birmingham—Hen and Chickens
Glasgow—John Miller, Esq., 37, West George street
Edinburgh—James Pringle, Esq., 79, Princes-street.
The price of Shares, now that the Bill has passed the Committee of
the House of Commons, affords no ground to hope that the market
will he improved if the Bill should eventually pass. All parties in-
terested, who concur in this opinion, will therefore lose no time in
signing the Petition, to put an end to the ruinous responsibility which
will attend the registration of their shares, and the carrying out of
the project. W. F. SPACKMAN.

AMERICAN NEWS.

ARRIVAL of the GREAT BRITAIN.
IMPORTANT FROM MEXICO.
CAPTURE OF MATAMORAS, AND 15LOCICADE OF
VERA CRUZ, BY THE AMERICANS.
(From our Liverpool Correspondent.)
LIVERPOOL, MONDAY.
The steam. ship Great Britain, Captain Hosken, arrived
here this morning, after a rapid passage of thirteen days
and a quarter from. New York. She sailed from that city at
three o'elock on the Bth, passed Sandy Hook in two hours,
and arrived off the N.W. Light ship, at Liverpool,
this morning, at four o'clock. She brings forty-five
passengers, all of whom were delighted with the easy and
beautiful voyage of this noble ship. Captain Hosken, when
off Liverpool, was presented with a complimentary address,
signed by all his passengers. Just before the Great Britain
got away from New York, a special messenger arrived there
with dispatches from Mr. Pakenham, at Washington.
Shortly after the Great Britain arrived, Captain llosken
started for London with these dispatches, which are said to
be of an important character.
Our advices by this arrival contain accounts from Mexico
down to the 16th, from Vera Cruz to the 20th, and from
New Orleans to the 31st ; and the principal feature of interest
which this arrival affords is that the Americans had, without
resistance, invested Matamoras, and that the port of Vera
Cruz was under a rigid blockade by the American squadron.
The accounts by this arrival state that on the 17th ult.
a large portion of General Taylor's army moved up the river
for the purpose of crossing, General Taylor remaining at the
fortification with about 300 men. As the army were seen by
the Mexicans on the opposite side to leave the encamp-
ment and approach the ford, Arista sent a flag of truce
to General Taylor, requesting an armistice for six
weeks ; giving as a reason for his request, that he desired
to communicate with his Government. General Taylor
answered that he would give bins till eight o'clock
the next morning to evacuate r the city of Mate-
moms, and would permit him to take the public
property under his charge. The flag then returned. On
the next day, the 18th ult., the army crossed on flats of their
own construction, and the bodies of waggons caulked. The
passage was made about four miles above Fort Brown. On
arriving at the city it was discovered that Arista with his
forces had departed,leaving only the mounted batteries. All
the mortars and such of the military apparatus as could not
be moved, in their haste to escape, were thrown into the
wells. A party from the American army went out to recon-
noitre immediately after the entrance into Matamoras, and
overtook a party of the retreating Mexicans, twenty-two Of
whom were made prisoners. It is understood that Arista's
head- quarters were at SanFernnado, about ninetymiles distant
from Matamoras.
Of the United States squadron, lately off the Rio Grande,
the Cumberland flag-ship, Raritan, St. Mary's, Lawrence,
and Somers, had gone to Pensacola to refit. The Mexican
soldiers, it is said, refused to defend Matamoras against the
American army, having had no rations served out to them
for five days. Commander Conner, as the report went at the
seat of war, intended to take down with him, in his contem-
plated attack on San Juan de Ulloa, two or three line-of-
battle ships with the squadron he is refitting at Pensacola.
According to the accounts thus received, it appears that
the Mexicans are straining every nerve to carry on the war,
and Paredes will probably continuer to do so, till perhaps he
hears of the severe defeats his troops have suffered at the
hands of the Americans, in order to sustain his administra-
tion. To do this, he has resorted to extraordinary measures
to replenish the national treasury, by extorting from the
people and the clergy. Paredes reached his present position
by inflaming the minds of the Mexicans against the
'United States; and as he acquired power by promising to
enter into a war, for the purpose of recovering the depart-
ment of Texas, there is no doubt that he will do his utmost
to protract it as long as he can, or until a new revolution
shall break out, which places some other man in his place.
Our advices from New Orleans are to the 30th, given in the
Commercial Times.
The barque Thaleus, Captain Murrell, from Vera Cruz,
arrived in New Orleans on the 30th ult., with papers from
the city of Mexico to the 15th, and from Vera Cruz to the
20th ult.
We learn that the United States steam frigate Mississippi
arrived at Vera Cruz on the 18th, with the news of the bril-
liant battles of the Bth and 9th ult.
The greatest care was taken to keep it from the Mexi-
cans, yet the fact leaked out.
The port of Vera Cruz has been rigidly blockaded by the
steam frigate Mississippi and sloop of year Falmouth. The
frigate Raritan was hourly expected to join the Mississippi
and Falmouth.
The Mexican Government had annulled the powers of the
American. Consuls,
Orders had been received from the city of Mexico, directing
all Americans to leave Vera Cruz by the 24th ult. Mr.
Dimond, the American consul, was preparing to go on board
one of the United States vessels of war.
It was generally thought that the American vessels left
in port, the barque Louisiana and the brig Helen McLeod,
would be seized by the Mexicans.
The contractor of supplies for the American squadron
had been forbidden by the Vera Cruz authorities, to furnish
them.
The Thaleus was boarded off the harbour of Vera Cruz
by the United States sloop Falmouth, and a letter bag sent
by her.
The brig St. Pctersburgh sailed on the 19th for Now York.
The Republican, of the city of Mexico, of the 13th, says
that the intention of the Government was to send their war
steamers Guadeloupe and Montezuma to Havannah to be
sold at auction. On arriving at the latter port, the steamers
were to hoist the Mexican flag and fire a salute. The
Mexican sailors refused to sail under these conditions, and
the steamers were to leave the river Alvarado, where they
had been laid up in ordinary under the British flag, and
commanded by a British officer. They have since arrived at
Havannah.
We have been permitted to make the following extract
from a letter received from a highly respectable Mexican
house in this city :

On CHASTITY and its INFRINGEMENTS.
(An Essay for 1846.)
" Of human ills and frailties I discourse,
Those taught by nature, and by art acquied.
Of grietls conceal'd, and disappointments keen,
Which young and gentle, the matured and sage,
The lonely and the mated—all sustain.
In kindly spirit, herein counsel's giv'n,
How lacalth, how hope, how happiness to gain."

WHAT to EAT, DRINK, and AVOID ;
With Diet Tables for all Complaints.
Contents:—flow to ensure perfect digestion,--tranquil feelings, a
good night's rest, a clear head, and a contented mind. By an ob-
servance of the instructions herein contained, the feeble, the ner-
vously delicate, even to the most shattered constitution, may acquire
the greatest amount of physical happiness, and reach in health the
full period of life allotted to man.
.4 How we should live—what eat, what drink, what shun,
To reach in health frill threescore years and ten."
These interesting little volumes, although bearing upon subjects of
very delicate import, as their titles imply, will be found of immea-
surable and general utility, for they tell of matters every living crea-
ture able to understanl ought to know, but which information in
those enlightened times, except that quality promulgated through
questionable channels, is a very terrible discount.
In the exposition hereby offered of the till now hidden truths of
nature, of human disappointments and their ways of relief, it is not
contended that every reader shall become his or her own physician
any more than their own lawyer, but it is insisted upon that we
should know the simple principles of our owu organization, the laws
whereby our existence and the issue thereof in their several healthy
states depend, the duties that are expected of us in our individual
capacities in the family circle, and the terms on which the health and
happiness of the present and future race of mankind have to rely.
By such knowledge, and which is herein faithililly imparted,
health will be found to be in our own keeping, and happiness
within the attainment of all ; by the availment hereof in fulfilling
our duty to ourselves, we secure the like advantages on our offspring
to follow, and finally by the cultivation of our faculties, which is in-
consistent with degenerate health, the mind as well as the body may
be exalted to the summit of perfection, as best becomes the highest
of God's creations.
The author's justification for this seeming eulogy of his own writ-
ings, and the avowal of their integrity of purpose, must be measured
by their perusal—his accredited qualifications guarantee that the
topics broached involve his legitimate study and pursuit.

Vera Cruz, May 19, 1846.
A circular has been issued by the Government, stating
that all American Consuls cease immediately from being
recognise', and ordering all American citizens to embark for
the interior within eight days.
The steamer Mississippi yesterday ordered off a vessel
from the poet, but she came in during the night—thus
proving the port to be blockaded, at least to national vessels,
a step which has generally compromised the American ves-
sels in the harbour, and we are very much afraid, that we
shall not be allowed to dispatch the Thaleus.
The Government is making every effort to carry out the
war with success, and has replenished the treasury by carry-
ing through some very strong measures.
The castle of San Juan d'Ulloa and the city are in an ex-
cellent state of defence, and would require a very strong
force to be successfully attacked.
The Reputlicano of the city of Mexico contains an article
against the Government, in which it animadverts upon the
actual state of the country, attacked as it is by a strong
enemy and with a prospect of a local revolution, it avers that
in case of a revolution, the troops engaged in repelling the
enemy would be ordered to act in support of either one party
or the other, claiming a local supremacy as a proof of the
discipline and manner in which the Mexican troops are
trained by their officers.
Jon Jose Maria has been named as the Governor of Chi-
huahua in the defeat of Sonora.
The Apache Indians have attacked the town of Apo 10,
where they killed thirty- two Mexicans, the Indians stealing
everything they could lay their hands upon.
The Apaches are uniformed in a broadcloth frock covered
with red Lacing, and pantaloons of the same stuff with caps,
and they are fitted with rides.
The whole department is in a dreadful state of misery and
consternation.
Several robberies on a large scale have been lately com-
mitted in the city of Mexico and its neighbourhood.
In speaking of the American army, a dispatch from the
Mexican commandant of the engineers at Matamoras says—
" The American army is not more than 4,000 strong, and is
in a state of demoralisation ; that there is no union among
them, without any desire for glory; that its officers are good,
but then there are many of them who have come to fight
against their will. If we have no local revolution, the Ame-
rican army will either capitulate, or be entirely defeated in
twenty days."
The exports from Vera Cruz in the month of April amounted
to 241,356 dols., of which 195,127 dols. was in specie.

COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.
We extract the following from the money article of the
New York Courier and Enquirer, of the Sth instant :
NEW YORK, SATURDAY NIGHT, JUNE 6.
The course of events since the departure of the last steamer
has been mai ked by little of importance. The war in
Mexico goes on prosperously for the American arms, and
the disorganization of the American forces seems complete.
On the 19th ult., General Taylor took possession of Mata-
moros without encountering any resistance, and, in like
manner, the operations of the column below on the right bank
of the ricer have been unimpeded since it entered the small
town of Barrita.
We have no tidings yet of any blockade of the Mexican
ports having been declared or instituted, but are in daily
expectation of an official notification thereof. Meantime,
while the American squadron had gone from Vera Cruz to
the mouth of the Rio Grande, or rather to Brazos St. lago,
in order to aid General Taylor, the two Mexican steamers,
Montezuma and Gandaloupe' took advantage of their ab-
sence to slip out under English colours and reach Havannah.
Their right to hoist English colours would certainly have
been questioned if they had been fallen in with by our
cruisers.
The impression seems very general since the arrival of the
Hibernia, that Mr. Pakenham has received instructions for
a prompt and amicable termination of. the Oregon contro.

"The author of this singular and talented work is a legally quali-
fied medical man, who has evidently had considerable experience in
the treatment of the various disorders arising from the follies and
frailties of early indiscretion. The engravings are an invaluable ad-
dition, by demonstrating the consequences of excesses, which must
act as a salutary warning to youth and maturity, and by Its perusal
many questions may be satisfactorily replied to, that admit of no ap-
peal, even to the most confidential friend."—Era.
