LONDoN, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 10, 1848

Mexico seems to be permanently in the clutches of
the United States. SINBAD himself was not more
oppressed by the weight of the Old-Man-of-the-Sea
than the unfortunate republic of the MONTEZUMAS
aPPitara to be by the forces of General SCOTT.
There is no shaking them off, unless the invaders are
mastered after the manner of their prototype—unless,
in fact, they are cleverly knocked on the head when
intoxicated by their successes. The last order pub- ,
lished from head-quarters by the Commander-in-
Chief of the American armies (Order No. 376) is of
a character such as must have carried dismay to the
imaginations of the patriotic, but pusillanimous,
Mexicans. It proclaims the determination of the
conquerors to retain whatever they have already
or shall have subjuge.ted. There is no gleam,
of hope to the subdued provinces and the
captured cities. The maw of the American eagle is
far from being glutted, the banner of Washington
is destined to flout the chureh turrets stretching from
the isthmus of Darien to Port Vancouver, from Todos
Santos to the Bay of Fundy. The stripes are appro-
priated exclusively to the citizens of Mexico, and the
stars to those of the United States. Nor is this all.
The General-in-Chief dissects the living limbs of his
victim with an exquisitely torturing minuteness, and
-with an infinitely excruciating delicacy. He con-
sidersi the violated country
vanquished states is not pecemeal. Each of the
only to remain con-
scious of the loss of its independence, it is
not only to remember how the bodies of its
'Population have bled erewhile instruggling
Sts oppressors—its pockets are to ble against
bleed too—pro-
fusely. The taxes hitherto levied in each state for
the liquidation of the liabilities incurred by the
Federal Government, are henceforth to be collected
'with scrupulous exactitude by the military authorities
.of America, and to be devoted entirely to the support
sof the oppressors. Vera Cruz is doomed to this lot,
land Puebla, and Tamaulipas, and New Mexico, and
*Chihuahua, and New Leon, and Coahuila, and the
*Californias. There is no escape. The sword of
:Mexico hat been broken ; its soil has been saturated with
the overflowings of a human vintage ; its sacred edi-
fices have been deseorated, and the golden utensils of its
priesthood seized as spoil by an irreligious soldiery
--as rigorously, as pitilessly, and as invariably asever
did the followers of the Regent-Duke of AItitA.NTES
in Portugal. Mexico is under the spell of its puis-
sant and unscrupulous neighbour. It can only vin-
sdicate its ancient freedom and the pristine heroism of
tits inhabitants by one of those tremendous convul-
-Isions of despair which have sometimes restored al

FRENCH PLAYS.

A pleasant little drama, entitled Neomie, was
produced here last evening with complete success.
Neomie (Mademoiselle Baptiste) is the daughter of a
certain Count D'Auriques (M. St. Marie) an old
naval officer, who, hiving deserted Neomie's mother
before the birth of his child, is unaware of her
existence. On the death of her mother Neomie,
accompanied by her friend Annette, seeks out her
father, and arrives just as he is on the point of marriage
with his ward, Valentine. Assuming the manner of
Annette Neomie enters the service of the Count and
Countess, and by her attentions to the former, whom
she tenderly nurses through a long and serious illness,
excites the jealousy of his wife, who orders her to leave
the house. An explanation takes place, and Neomie re-
cognized as the daughter of the Count, is received by her
father, and all ends happily. The.,e are old materials,
but they are well worked up ; and the pathos and
feeling of Mademoiselle Baptiste, as the daughter, and
of M. St. Marie, as the father, would have insured
the success of a much less cleverly constructed piece.
The drolleries of M. Josset, :as Elonvi, the Count's
nephew, always gay, always dressed, and always in
debt, afforded an agreeable relief to the more serious
portions of the drama. La Vicomtesse Lolotte, with
the fascinations of Mademoiselle Nathalie as the
heroine, followed.
The house was very well attended.

THE 31(ETROPOLITAN COMMIS
SION:ERS OF SEWERS—(THIS DAY.)
The Metropolita❑ Sanitary Commission held a Court
of Sewers this morning ; Lord Morpeth in the chair.
On the motion of Mr. CHADWICK, a resolution was
adopted, authorising the Commission to improve the
condition of Ile three hundred labourers engaged upon
the sewerage works. Ile stated that although the la-
bourers were strong healthy men, their occupations were
of so injurious a character that it was seldom they could
work more than six hours a day.
Dr. S. S➢wria said he was acquainted with a manulae.
tory where the men could not work more than an hour
a day without losing between 21bs. and 51bs. weight, but
latterly the proprietor bad insisted upon his men observ-
ing rules securing cleanliness and health, and the men
were now enabled to labour with safety and comfort.
Mr. Biwa brought under the consideration of the
Court the complaint of an inhabitant of Lascelle's-court,
St. Giles's, relating to the bad state of the cesspools of
that neighbourhood.
Mr. LESLIE urged upon the Court the necessity of
constructing drains in places were cesspools had been
formed. In the end it would prove a great saving of
the public money.
The Dean of WESTIVIINSTER said, within the last few
days seventeen cesspools had been cleansed in West-
minster by having recourse to a disinfecting fluid, and
they might depend upon it that, in the absence of
a supply of water, the best course that could
be pursued was to call in the ageccy of deoderising
fluids.

The surveyor was instructed to confer with the Dean
of Westminster ou that subject.
The surveyor was directed to prepare an estimate of
the expense of removing the cesspool in Lascelles-court,
and furnishing each house with a water-closet communi-
cating with the common sewer.
The secretary of the Commission was directed to
communicate with the various metropolitan water com-
panies upon the subject of furnishing the neighbour-
hood of St. Giles's with a daily supply of water.
A resolution was passed, empowering the Commission
to appoint an assistant .surveyor; and another resolution,
directing that no person should be charged more than
I Os. per foot frontage on laying a drain into any sewer
built by a private person.
Lord Ebrirgton was sworn in, and took his seat for
the first time.
The Court then adjourned for a fortnight.

have suffered. The extensive marshes between Chat•
barn and Sheerness, coupled with the great quantity of
rain which has fallen this season, may account for the
virulence of the disease.

SETTLEMENT OF THE BOUNDARIES BETWEEN
TURKEY AND PERSlA.—Lieutenant Adam G. Glasscott,
R.N., has received permission from the Admiralty to
accompany Lieutenant-Colonel Williams to the East, to
settle the boundaries between Turkey and Persia.
STEAMERS TO MALTA.—An order has been received
at Malta, from the Admiralty, that the Mediterranean
packets are not to be delayed at Malta beyond six hours
after the arrival of the contract mail steamers, except in
cases when the arrivals are after sunset.

SURVEY OF STEAMERS.—It has been positively and
peremptorily ordered by the Admiralty, that in the sur-
vey of steamers for repairs, or for ascertaining defects, a
joint report of the Surveyor of the Navy, and of the
Comptroller of Steam Machinery Departments, shall be
made—the one fully co-operating with the other.
THE " SCOURGE."—We understand that the Earl of
Dundonald has condemned the Scourge steam sloop as
a very inefficient vessel; his Lordship has caused her
mortar to be landed, and fitted a pivot gun instead.
NAVAL ORDNANCE.—Some weeks since the Board of
Ordnance were ordered by the Admiralty not to cast
any more 56 or 42-pounders, for the service of the Royal
Navy. Their Lordships deem that they have quite suffi-
cient for arming the steam guard-ships Ajax, Edinburgh,
and Hogue. The Blenheim is already armed with guns
of the above calibre. _

SCREW SIIIPS.—There is no truth in the report that
the Princess Charlotte, 104, is to be converted into a
screw steam guard ship; the Edinburgh, 72, is to be
fitted as a steam guard ship, on'the plan suggested by
Lord John Hay, by which it is said the expense of con-
version will not exceed 1,000/.
Lieutenant Addison, of the 70th Regiment, has been
appointed Aide de-Camp to Lieutenant-General Lord
Hardinge, G.C.B.
TROOPS FOR INDIA.—The Minerva freight ship has
been taken up for the conveyance of detachments of the
Provisional Battalion from Chatham to Bombay and
Cannanore, and the ship Prince of Wales for the con-
veyance of detachments to Bengal.
PRESERVED MEATS FOR TILE NAVY.--PreViOUSly to
the departure of the Channel Squadron from Ports-
mouth, the AdMiralty ordered that preserved meats
should be issued to the crew of the St. Vincent, flag-
ship, one day in each week, in lien of salt beef, and their
Lordships ordered a report to be made after trial of the
quality of the meat, and if approved of as an article of
provision. We have not yet heard of the result.

All that valuable FREEHOLD ESTATE called PAL LION, in the
immediate vicinity of the town and borough of Suaderland, consist-
ing of an elegant and superior Mansion House, known by the name
of Vernon Hall, delightfully situated on the banks of the Rivet Wear,
In the midst of gardens and pleasure-grounds.
And 115 a. Ir. 4p. of superior old GRASS and TILLAGE LAND,
with an excellent Farm House and all necessary Granaries, Stables,
and Farm-buildings, and together with a very valuable Quay and
Frontage towards the River Wear.
The Mansion House is built of freestone, and was erected under
the immediate superintendence of the late owner, for his own ac-
commodation. The rooms are large and lofty, and are exceedingly
well arranged. The gardens contain an excellent vinery, heated
wan hot water, and a peach-house, and are otherwise well stocked
with fruit trees of every description; and immediately behind the
house are stables, coach-houses, cow-byres, and other out-offices.
The Ferns is compact, capable of great improvement, lying well for

stone, may either be worked, or converted into a deposit for ballast,

THE REPORTED REVOLUTION

IN RUSSIA.

The Hamburqh Bors nl7:lle7CTille 21st, says:—
" We learn from a traveller who was at .Leibnitz, in tipper
Silesia, two leagues only from the Polish frontiers, on the 15th
inst., that the report of a revolution in Warsaw had not
been confirmed, but was looked upon there as a pure inven-
tion. The same person states that at Czentoehan, the first
Polish frontier village, 4,000 Russian infantry were stationed,
and smaller bodies of troops were placed in the villages along
the frontiers."

Private and commercial letters from St. Petersburgh
and Moscow, the former of the 16th instant, which have
just been received by steamer (via Lubeck), do not say
one syllable of any disturbance having broken out id
those cities.

The inhabitants of St. Petersburgb are rejoicing in
the gradual diminution of the cholera. The diurnal
cases now amount to only 14 or 15.—Hamturgla Borsen-

CASE OF COLONEL BRISTOW.

Lord BEAUMONT pi esented a petition from Colonel
Bristow, complaining that he had been expelled from
Spain, contrary to the law of nations. He was
a British officer, who had resided for many years
at Madrid. He had been seized in the month
of June last and taken to the guard-house, and
finally expelled from Spain, without any cause being
assigned. Colonel Bristow had never taken any part in
hostilities, and no reason had been given for his expul-
sion. It had, however, appeared that the Go-
vernment of Spain had endeavoured to coerce and bribe
the editor of the Clamor Public° into an acknowledgment
that the British Embassy and British subjects had
been concerned in an endeavour to foment rebel-
lion. But the editor had refused to become
the tool of the Government, which, if it pursued
the course which it had hitherto pursued, would draw
upon itself the vengeance of all civilized Governments,
as it had already incurred their contempt.
The Marquis of LANSDOWNE said that Mr. Otway
had drawn the attention of the Spanish Government to
the subject, and that Lord Palmerston had applied to M.
Isturitz for explanations. M. Isturitz had promised
those explanations before his departure from this coun-
try, but those explanations had not been furnished.
Certainly, however, according to the law of nations,
some explanation was required.
Lord BEAUMONT was only desirous that the
Spanish Government should be convinced that they
could not ant the law of nations at defiance with im-
punity.

LOT 1

All that valuable FREEHOLD ESTATE called PAL LION, in the
immediate vicinity of the town and borough of Sunderland, consist-
ing of an elegant and superior Mansion House, known by the name
of eallion Hall, delightfully situated on the banks of the River Wear,
in the midst of gardens and pleasure-grounds.
And 115 a. Ir. 4p. of superior old GRASS and TILLAGE LAND,
with an excellent Farm House and all necessary Granaries, Stables,
and Farm-buildings, and together with a very valuable Quay and
Frontage towards the River Wear.
The Mansion House is built of freestone, and was erected under
the immediate superintendence of the late owner, for his own ac-
commodation. The rooms are large arid lofty, arid are exceedingly
well arranged. The gardens contain an excellent vinery, heated
with hot water, and a peach-house, and are otherwise well stocked
with fruit trees of every description; and immediately behind the
house are stables, coach-houses, cow-byres, and other out-offices.
The Farm is compact, capable of great improvement, lying well for
draining, and In the immediate neighbourhood of manure ; and there
is no doubt a great part of the land will be required for building pur-
poses almost immediately. But perhaps the most important fea-
ture In the estate is the valuable quay, which by a small and judi-
cious outlay of capital, may at any time be made to produce a large
and increasing revenue. The Mansion House is at present occupied
by C. 31. Webster, Esq. ; and the Farm by Mr. Ralph Kirtley, who
are tenants from year to year, at low rentals. The Quay is let for a
timber-yard to Mr. Briggs.

kilns and Quarry adjoining thereto.
And 22a. 2r. 25p. of valuable LAND, together with several Dwel-
ling-houses, Cottages, and other erections now standing thereon.
Thelns may be easily removed, and thereby a considerable
number of additional Ship-building yards may be obtained ; and the
Limestone Quarry, which still contains a large quantity of valuable
stone, may either be worked, or converted into a deposit for ballast,
which is greatly wanted on the River Wear, and which;will not only
ensure a large annual revenue, btu at the same Uwe will regain a
large space of ground, which must become extremely valuable for
building or manufacturing purposes.
The Coal under this Lot will also be reserved.

of a capitalist or builder, must eventually realise a very large sam
of money.

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT.

HOUSE OF LORDS, August 25.
NEW WRIT FOR LEICESTER.
Mr. HUME, in moving that Mr. Speaker do issue his
warrant to the Clerk of the Crown to make out a new
writ for the electing of two burgesses to sit in this pre-
sent. Parliament for the borough of Leicester, in the
rooni of Sir Joshua Walmsley and Richard Gardner,
Esqrs., whose election has been determined to be void,
complained of the Corrupt Practices at Elections Bill
having been thrown out in the other House after so I
much time had been spent upon the subject in the House.
of Commons. The grounds upon which it hadbeen e
jected—that it would create a new tribunal for trying
these cases—was altogether fallacious. With respect to
Leicester, it was not worse than the other boroughs,tho t it
ug and
as there was now no chance of inquiry,
he
right that the writ should be no longer suspended.

correspondence which t this particular rborough, for he e wasook
place, during the months of
June and July
last, between certain parties at
Kibworth, in the county of Leicester and the
Postmaster-General, relative to the appointment
of a foot messenger for carrying letters between Rib-
worth and Market Harborough ;" but, in consequence of
the explanation which the Noble Lord gave to his Hon.
Friend and Colleague a few evenings ago, he would not
press that motion ; at the same time he must observe,
that ho completely concurred with the Noble Lord that
the Government were fully right and ought to dispense
their patronage amongst their friends rather than
amongst those who differed from them ; but, if the di-
visions in this session were looked to, it would be found
that he (Mr. Packe) and his Friends around him had
been oftener supporters of the Government than the late
Hon. Member for Leicester.—(A laugh.) The Hon.
Member then read a letter from an individual who
stated that hundreds of the electors of Leicester were
ready to vote for him who paid them best, and concluded
by reiterating his regret that no inquiry was to take
lave

Mr. FREWEN said, that Leicester was notoriously
corrupt, and had been so for a long period of time. In
fact, the electors were so accustomed to be paid for their
votes in hard cash that they could not get out of the
habit.—(A laugh.) As the Bill had been withdrawn
he really thought it was incumbent on the. Government
to cause some inquiry to be made into this case. •
The motion was then agreed to.
Mr. CHRISTY gave notice that early next session
he would move for an address to her Majesty, that no
grant of Vancouver's Island, or any privilege should be
made to the Hudson's Bay Company until a report had
been made to the House of the conduct of tiult company.

THE REPORTED REVOLUTION

IN RUSSIA.

The Hamburgle Borsenhalle, of the 21st, says:—
" We learn from a traveller who was at Leibnitz, in Upper
Silesia, two leagues only from the Polish frontiers, on the 15th
inst., that the report of a revolution in Warsaw had not
been confirmed, but was looked upon there as a pure inven-
tion. The same person states that at Czentochan, the first
Polish frontier village, 4,000 Russian infantry were stationed,
and smaller bodies of troops were placed in the villages along
the frontiers."
Private and commercial letters from St. Petersburgh
and
scow, the former of the 16th instant, which have
just been received by steamer (via Lubeck), do not say
one syllable of any disturbance having broken out in
those cities.

TII CASE OF MARY ANN NEWMAN.
The Earl of RADNOR said he wished again to call
their Lordships' attention to the case of Mary Ann New-
man, which formed the subject of a conversation in the
House a few nights ago, and to state that the Noble and
Learned Lord opposite (Lord Brougham) had perfectly
justified the conduct of the Rev. Mr. Hawkins, the ma-
gistrate who took the examination and committed the
woman for trial.

Lord BEAUMONT was also of opinion that Lord
Brougham's justification of Mr. Hawkins was most com-
plete; and he was assured that nothing could be so con-
trary to the Noble and Learned Lord's feelings as that
any imputation should attach to the character of Mr.
HavNkins. It must be apparent to every one that Mr.
Hawkins was perfectly justified in all be

they will produce when fired.

FORCIBLE ENTRY INTO A HOUSE BY ARMED
MEN.—At about ten o'clock last night, a man named
Henry Hoskisson, butcher, of this town, arrived on
horseback, at the police-station, Avenham-street, with
particulars of an outrage which had been committed at
Broughton, last night. Hoskisson states that at about
eight o'clock in the evening, five men, apparently
navvies, with their faces blackened, and armed with fire-
arms, entered the farm-house of Mr. Richard Cottam
Crow-hall, near Broughton, and demanded money. Mr:
Cottam and a party of friends were playing a game at
the time the men entered his house. Hoskisson also
states that a gun was fired by one of the robbers, but
cannot say whether any party was shot, or whether any
money or property was taken. Two of the men were
tall and dressed as navvies; a third party wore a suit
of cut fustian; and another wore a suit of uncut fustian.
The fifth was a short man, wearing a jacket. After
leaving Mr. Cottam's premises the ruffians took the
road towards Lancaster. We understand that Mr.
Walters, superintendent of the county constabulary, and
some of the county force were promptly dispatched on
horseback to the scene of outrage.—Preston Chronicle.

Since our last report, the arrivals of country-killed
meat for these markets have been seasonably good, and
of full average quality. With Mutton, slaughtered in
the metropolis, we have been very scantily supplied;
however, the demand for that kind of meat has ruled
active, at an advance in the quotations of 2d. per 81bs.
Beef', Veal, and Pork have, from the increased supplies
brought forward, met a very inactive sale, at drooping
prices, at which, owing to the mildness of the weather,
clearances have not been effected. Very little foreign
meat has been on offer.

1 NEW DISCOVERY IN TEETH.
R. HOWARD, Surgeon Dentist, 52, Fleet-
street, has introduced as ENTIRELY NEW DESCRIP-
TION of ARTIFICIAL TEETH, lied without springs, wires, or
ligatures. They so perfectly resemble the natural teeth as not to be
distinguished from the originals by the closest observer; they will
never change col iur or decay, and will be found ♦ery superior to any
teeth ever before used. This method does not require the extraction
of roots, or any painful operatic., and will support and preserve
teeth that are loose, and is guaranteed to restore articulation and
mastication; and, that Mr. Howard's improvement may be within
reach of the most economical, he has fixed his charges at the lowest
scale possible. Decayed teeth rendered sound and useful in mastica-
tion.—b 2, Fleet-street. At Dome from Ten till live.

THE HEALTII OF TOWNS BILL AND THE LAW OF

SETTLEMENT.

Mr. MICIIII3 complained that in a part of the
Health of Towns Bill the Government had not
thought of some remedy for preventing the vast
accumulation of poverty in towns and in the metro-
polis, by an alteration of the law of settlement passed
last year. The fact was, that that law had been
passed to relieve the agricultural districts at the
expense of the metropolis and provincial towns. He
moved " That it be referred to the Committee ap-
pointed to watch the Health of Towns Bill to call the
attention of Parliament to the operation of that Act,
as, since its introduction, it had cost Marylebone
alone upwards of 10,0001."
Mr. STANFORD seconded the motion, and said that
if some steps were not taken with regard to pau-
perism, he ventured to predict that this country
would be in as deplorable a condition as Ireland at
no distant period.
The resolution was carried.
