Account, nothing doing.
New York Papers to the 10th of November have been
received at the North and South American Coffee House.
Their contents are unimportant. They contain accounts
from Vein Cruz to the 29 h of September, and from
Mexico to the 21st of September ; but by the Mexican
packet, which arrived the day before yesterday, we have
13 days' later information from the above quarter.
HALF-PAST ONE.

Nthough the accounts from Vera Cruz arid Mexico in
the Americ in papers received this morning, are not of so
late a date as by the Mexican packet, still a part of them
are of some interest. They state that by an official
communication front General Victoria, the Military
Commander at Puebla, to the Minister of War, be
announces that an engagement had taken place at
Safi relto, in which the rebels, wishing to intercept a
convoy going to the army of the President were completely
defeated, In consequence of:this victory the whole country
between Queretaro and Mexico has been restored to tran-
quillity. In the south, Alvarez was marching towards
Chilaria with 600 men. An insignificant plot to form a
conspiracy had been aiscovered in Mexico; the conspirators
were arrested.
A letter from the American Consul at Vera Cruz, dated
September 29, states that the Governor of the State of
Vera Cruz had directed the admission of foreign corn to
enter at that port until the end of the year.
New Brunswick papers have been received at the North
and Soath American C flee-house ; they do not contain
any information of consequence.
We have no fresh arrivals up to the present hour.
Great agitation prevails among-t the Portuguese mer-
chants respecting the rescinding, by the Regency Govern •
talent of Portugal, the decree making dollars and sovereigns
a legal tender. It has also caused at Lisbon much dis-
cont-•nt, and if not soon minded will make that Govern-
ment vary unpopular.

Con,ols have been, during the whole of the morning,
at 88k, al'ernately buyers and sellers, with little doing.
In the Foreign AI aket there is scarcely any business.

'6 EVERY BULLET HAS ITS BILLET."—
The family of the late Colonel Vassal of the 38th Regi-
ment have adopted this phrase among their mottos. In
the attack on Monte Video in 1607, where be commanded
that Regiment, they missed the breach on their approach.
The grape and musketry were so hot that it drove the men
into conlusion, and would have made numbers of them
retreat, but for his exertions. When be observed any of
the men stoop or flinch, be cried out as loud as possible—
" Brave 38th, my brave men, don't flinch ; every bullet
has its billet. Push on, follow me, thirty eighth !" He
rallied them repeatedly i❑ this manner until he got them
inside the bre ich. He was advancing to the main ba•tery,
when a grape shot broke his leg ; and as soon as he fell
lie cried out—" Push on, somebody will take me up, my
good soldiers, charge them, never mind me ; it's or.ly the
loss of a leg in the service." He sat up and helped to tie
on a ban !kerchief to stop the blood, and cried out all the
time of the action, " I care not for my leg, if my It gi-
ment do their duty, as I hope they will." As soon as the
town surrendered be heard the men cheer; he joined
them with as great spirits as if nothing had happened,
and oiled out to be c.rried to the head of his regiment.

Doncaster Gazette.

SNUFFING.—A gentleman, the other day,
in a shop at Kensington, on taking a pinch of snuff, po-
litely offered his box to a pretty-looking servant maid,
who was also making purchases. " N., thank ye, sir,
(slid the smart soubrelt), I reckon my nose an ornament
to my face, and not a dust-h.le.—Literary Gazette.
PROLIFIC Sow.—There is now in the pos-
session of Mr. P-pper, of Carrington, a )oung sow,
reared by himself, whim-h has brought him, at four litters,

proportion of which have been reared, either by herself,
or by another sow with a less numerous progeny.—Nat-
