with precedent, ani therefore the less exposing
them to censure—in the minds of betting men, at
least, who deem " all fair in war," and who see nothing
wrong in taking advantage of any private information
which they may obtain to make money, and " pick up"
those who may be in the dark. This we believe to be

the gist of the questions at issue, but we think there are
various ramifications which throw impediments in the
way of anything like a clear elucidation. There will,
no doubt, be a great drat of c3ntradictory evidence—
much of truth and much of falsehood. The Stewards,
or possibly the C!uh—for it is not settled whether the
inquiry shall be before them or the body of the Club—
we anticipate will have great difficulty in sifting the
corn from the chaff ; and, after all, we shall not be sur-
prised if they will be placed in the position of only adopt-
ing. some declaratory resolution or law, with respect to
jockeys, trainers, and commissioners, which will tend to
repress similar practices in future.

UNITED STATES.

LATER FROM AMERICA.

LIVERPOOL, MONDAY MORNING. - The fast-sailing
ship Sea, Captain Edwards, arrived at our port this
morning from New York, whence she sailed on the 26th
ultimo, bringing nine days' later intelligence from the
United Statcs.

The rumours of an intended invasion of Texas by
10,000 Mexicans is in a great degree confirmed by this
arrival ; the troops were actually on their route, which
is said to be a circuitous one, insomuch that they will
not be enabled to cross the frontier until late in the
autumn. In the meantime couriers are dispatched with
all speed between the Governments most interested in
the matter. Governor Houston had sent a messenger to
Mexico with important dispatches, and another, General
Duff Green, had also been sent on a similar errand by
President Tyler. The commander of the Mexican war
steamer Guadeloupe passed through New Orleans on the
16th instant, with important dispatches from England
for Santa Anna. Steamers and other vessels are, it is
said, to convey troops from Tampico in October, to
Galveston, which will be invaded and blockaded.
Another account states that President Houston has
offered terms, the purport of which has not transpired,
for the suspension of hostilities reported to have com-
menced on the other side of the river Bravo. A body of
600 Americans have fixed their residence on the banks of
the Sacramento, California ; the Mexican Government
were about to take measures for their expulsion.
Our advices from Central America are to the 19th of
July. There had been much disturbance and fighting,
caused, according to common report, by the machinations
of the British. The San Salvadorians, with the people
of Nicaragua and Honduras, had marched against Gua-
temala ; they took possession of an English schooner,
the flag of which, after being lowered, was again
hoisted, but the vessel was still in the power of her
captors.
The Canadian Parliament is to meet on the 22d in-
stant for the dispatch of business. There had been some
rioting between the students of Victoria College, Co •
bourg, Canada, and the inhabitants of the town. The
former lowered the British flag and tore it into frag-
ments, afterwards hoisting the American colour ; this was
Speedily hauled down by the citizens. No serious
damage resulted. The loyal party were completely
triumphant.

At a meeting of the Whig party at Boston, on the 19th,
Mr. Webster made a long and eloquent speech. Al
luding to Texas, he advised that she should con-
tinue to be an independent nation, and repudiated
the idea that England will seek to acquire any special
connexion with Texas. He spoke of the fixed deter-
mination of the British Government to discountenance
slavery, on which a voice in the crowd exclaimed,
" They are all slaves in England." Mr. Webster turned
quickly on the speaker, and with a flashing eye and in-
dignant voice, asked what blood they, the citizens of the
United States, inherited ; from whence were the first
guarantees of the liberty of the subject derived ? He
proceeded to say that Mexico had a right to regain
Texas if she could do so speedily and promptly ; but
otherwise a war of petty depredation must be put a stop
to by the great Powers. His course on the subject of
protection would be the principle, " If you will trade
with me, I will trade with you." He, would, however,
have the hand labour of America protected against the
cheap labour of the operatives of Europe.
A new line of packets, consisting of the St. George,

1,000 tons ; Pacific, 800 tons ; and Seymour, 1,000
tons, is about to be established between New York and
Liverpool. The St. George sails on the Bth of October.
From Arkansas we learn that the cotton crop is likely
to prove fine and abundant.
MARYLAND AND 01110 TOBACCO CROP.—In Maryland
the crop is reported to be one-third below an average,
but the quality of the leaf is much superior to the last.
It is said that many planters around New Orleans are
preparing to convert their cotton gins into sugar-
houses. The caterpillar has made its appearance almost
annually.
NEW YORK, SEPT. 26.—The sales of cotton are 800
bales, at steady prices. Flour is rather dull of sale, but
firmer. Ashes bring $4 38c., and $4 19c. to 25c. Sales
of mess pork have been made at $9 12c. to 25c. ; more
sellers than buyers. Bees' wax sells freely at $291
to 30c.
The exchange on England is 1091, and on Paris, 5,224.

THE THEATRES.

HAYMARKET.

Don Cesar de Bazan has taken possession of
almost all our theatres. Another version of the Don
was produced at this theatre last evening, with Mr.
C. Mathews as the hero. In the lighter parts of the
character Mr. C. Matthews was admirable, but he
failed in the graver parts. He has har Ily sufficient
calibre for such a character as the Don, who after all
is a most manly fellow. Miss Julia Bennet wa•
lively and graceful as the Gitana, and the other
characters were well sustained. The hero and hero:n3
were called for at the conclusion, and received the
usual honours.
