AMERICAN NEWS.

The Hibernia arrived at Liverpool on Saturday morning.
She brings American papers to the 30th ult. The Great
Britain was to leave New York on the afternoon of that day.
There is nothing decisive from Mexico. The following ac-
count of the movement of American troops on the frontier is
extracted from the New Orleans Picayune of the 17th ult.
" General Gaines, commanding the southern divisioa of
the United States, having made a demand on Governor
Mouton for one thousand men or more for the national ser-
vice, and the Governor promptly made a requisition on Ge-
neral Lewis, commanding the first division of the Louisiana
militia, for the required force, viz., two regiments of volun-
teers, of ten companies each—one of them to consist of mus-
keteers and one of riflemen, and two companies of artillery
with eight field pieces, the requisition was immediately
responded to, and will be put forthwith into execution.
"We understand that the whole of the artillery force of the
city—a most effective and well-armed corps—have volun-
teered their services, and that they have been accepted.
" This movement is said to be consequent upon authentic
information which has reached General Gaines, of the ad-
vance of 10,000 Mexican troops to a point within eight days'
march of General Taylor's quarters.
The Texan Convention was to adjourn the third week in
August.
It was reported in Vera Cruz, that a large number of
Mexican troops had marched to the Texian frontier, and that
Gen. Bustamente was to take the command of them, and that
they were to march through Texas on their way to Washing.
ton without declaring war. The Texan papers, however,
make no mention of any Mexican invasion.
According to the last accounts from the city of Mexico,
the bill, authorising the loan of 15,000,000 dollars was still
under discussion. It was reported at Vera Cruz that the bill
had passed, and that it was expected the money might
be raised in England. Surveys of the north-eastern boun-
dary was completed. Thirty feet of forest was cut through the
boundary line, and monuments of cast iron, four feet above the
ground, and lettered " Treaty of Washington," with the
names of the Commissioners of the two Governments, were
erected to mark the line.

RIVAL RAILWAY PROJECTS.
(FROM A CORRESPONDENT.)
As the north of England was the arena of expensive con-
flicts last year, so the west of England is to have its turn
this year, and to become the scene of warfare, not to spill
the blood, but to bleed the purses of the willing speculators
who live in the mazes of the railway department of the
Stock Exchange.
Three great schemes are already published, and several
more promised, to Improve the communication from London
to Penzance ; and with all the eloquence of literary descrip-
tion, far excelling the hitherto unsurpassed powers of the
famed Robins, prospectuses have set forth the not-to-be-esti-
mated value of a railway through this unoccupied portion of
the kingdom.

The first scheme consists of the North Devon, Cornwall,
and West Cornwall projects, which promise to furnish rail
way communication direct to all the towns in the counties of
Devon and Cornwall west of Exeter, not yet provided for,
together with a direct line from Exeter to Falmouth and Pen-
zance, and a line from Plymouth to Falmouth.
As a great deal of correspondence has appeared from dis-
contented parties who were left out in the allotment of the
shares in the North Devon project, now at a high premium ;
' and as the two latter projects had formed their Companies
before the last session, but were postponed on account of en-
gineering defects alone, and have already spent a considerable
sum in preliminary preparation, it is fair to assume that they
are in a position to insure their going to Parliament with well-
considered lines next session. Brunel has the management
of the whole of these ; they are all supported, with capital
and otherwise, by the Great Western and other powerful
Companies ; are patronised by the great mass of landed pro-
prietors in both counties, who are on their Provisional Com-
mittees ; and, therefore, have a good chance of a favourable
consideration when they apply for their Bills.
The next is a project put forth by Mr. Columbine, of Re-
gent-street, which, taking compassion on the waste lands
between London and Penzance, and, considering the great
necessity for additional railway accommodation, purposes
crossing all the intermediate lines already constructed, or in
the course of construction, and forcing its way to the Land's-
end. The Provisional Committee has no great amount of
local patronage, nor does it seem to have obtained the coun-
tenance of the landed proprietors; nevertheless, the Pro-
visional Committee consists of some heavy artillery, and will,
it is to be presumed fight its way into, if not out of Parliament.
The third scheme at present published consists of several
great projects forming a sort of mutual society, requiring
the investment of many millions of money, and is patronised
by the very enterprising firm of solicitors in Moorgate-
street, who so nobly fought but lost the great Direct Northern
in last session. These projects, in order to complete a direct
western line to Salisbury, Yeovil, Exeter, and Penzance,
have revived the Devon and Cornwall Central, which made
such a sad miss of its affairs last year, and appeared in so
questionable and unenviable a form so repeatedly before the
public, and was so decidedly rejected by the Board of Trade.
A few, but very few, of the landowners in North Devon and
Cornwall seem to afford it their countenance, and, consider-
ing the 1 ength of the line, 100 miles, with its numerous
branches, probably 100 miles more, with three millions re-
quired for its completion, it argues considerable boldness to
reappear with such a desperate measure.
These rival schemes will not only threaten a serious vexa-
tion to the Great Western in regard to its finances, but will
bring on another fight for the broad guage, inasmuch as they
make an irruption into the very country where that guage is
now predominant, and they will involve the expenditure of a
great amount of capital which the public are called upon to
furnish.

If the originators of them would risk their own property
and furnish funds themselves to try these weighty questions,
there would be no room for complaint; but knowing that
there is no ascertained traffic which will repay—that there are
no necessities of the country that demand the outlay of so
many millions, it is indeed astonishing to witness the cool
manner in which the public are gulled into the support of
schemes, which, after all, can never furnish a profit to any
but the gambler and the lawyer.

The Royal Devon and Cornwall Horticultural So-
ciety held its third and last meeting for the season on Thursday, in the
assembly-room of the Royal Hotel, Plymouth. The display of flowers
was large and beautiful, and comprised some very choice specimens
of those now in season. There was an excellent display of fruit and
vegetables also, especially of the former, which were the more
abundantly flirnished, probably, from the circumstance that the fruit
was to form the principal attraction; at a grand dejefine, which
was to be held at font* o'clock. The company was a brilliant and
fashionable one, comprising most of the county families of South
Devon and East Cornwall. The degefine was presided over by the Earl of
Morley, who was supported by Major-General the Hon. H. Murray,
Admiral Pym, Thomas Gill, Esq., M.P., and a number of other gen-
tlemen. There was also a large attendance of ladies present, headed
by the Countess of Morley, &c. The Noble Chairman presided with
considerable ability, and the usual loyal toasts were drunk on the
occasion. About 200 sat down, and the pleasures of the day were
closed in the evening by a dance.

- -----
The Duke and Duchess of Roxburghe will receive
a large party at Fleurs Castle at the close of this month, when the
Royal Caledonian Hunt meeting is to take place at Kelso, the Noble
Duke being President this year. The Dowager Duchess is prolong-
ing her residence at Brighton.
INORDINATE DRINKING OF BRANDY BY FIVE
redl"lthey ship Tigress, now lying of Henry Stroode, aged
Younts.—On Friday at eight o'clock, Mr. Baker held an inquest at
tsle\e„CnitteyenAyrmeasr,sMsea illwaaplpl,rPenotpileaero,
nonbotah
in the West India export dock. It appeared by the evidence, that on
Thursday evening, about eight o'clock, the deceased, with three other
youths, were invited on board the William Gillics by Wm. Wenne_
cott; an apprentice of the latter ship, to partake of some brandy.
They remained on board about an hour, during which brief space of
time they drank between them three bottles of strong brandy. They
drank the liquor out of a tumbler. Deceased, when he quitted the
ship, appeared to be rather intoxicated, but he contrived to regain
his own ship, where he was shortly afterwards seen by John Suther-
land, the night watchman in the dock, in the act of taking off
his boots, near the cat-head of the vessel. In the morn-
ing following, at about six o'clock, on one of the seamen of the
Tigress going on deck, he found the deceased lying at the head
of the ship quite dead and cold. Mr. Smith, surgeon, deposed that
he was called to deceased. Ile found that he had been vomiting.
He was quite dead. On being informed of the circumstances attend-
ing his death, witness inquired into the state of the other lads, when
he was informed another named Dewes was in an insensible state.
He promptly administered the necessary remedies ; he was, atter
four hours unremitting attention, pronounced out of danger. Wenne-
cott, who had provided the liquor, was seriously ill after the exces-
sive potations, but was enabled to attend before the Coroner to give
evidence. The other two boys fortunately escaped without any very
serious consequences. Witness attributed death to determination of
blood to the head, brought on by inordinate draughts of brandy.
The Coroner admonished the youths upon their conduct, and trusted
that the unfortunate result of their carousal would prove a serious
warning to them for the future. Verdict, " Found dead on the deck
of the ship Tigress, apparently from the effects of akover- draught of
brandy."

The FIGHT for the CHAMPIONSHIP.
The following " Remarks " on the Fight for the Championship,
between Caunt and Bendigo, which took place on Tuesday last, are
extracted from The Sportman's Magazine and Life in London, a spi-
rited and admirably-conducted weekly publication :--
"REMARKS.
" The style of both the men may be best judged from the particu-
lars of the rounds ; Cauut seemed over eager, and occasionally lost
his temper, by which he threw away a chance which moderation,
steadiness, and coolness might have given to him. His physical ad-
vantages—height, weight, length, and strength—were too great to
allow of that deviation on his side which was accorded on the other;
for it was impossible to repress a feeling for the boldness, dexterity,
and quickness of the lesser man, whose escape from utter annihilation
seemed little short of a miracle. Hence much of the imputed unfair-
ness. Yet we must here record our deliberate conviction that, although
Bendigo was often sailing too near the verge of unfairness to be alto-
gether pleasant or proper, yet this only occurred in the earlier rounds,
and that it must be viewed as a set-off for natural qualifications which
the lesser man supplied by activity and skill. To have stood up and
exchanged blow ter blow in half-arm rallies with an overwhelming
giant like his opponent must have quickly terminated the contest
without a hope on the part of the lesser man. Indeed, it would have
been the very hammering game at which a thorough staunch man
like Caunt, with unmatched strength, must annihilate an adversary :
he was, therefore, expected to shift and get down ; and it argues
little for Count's skill or gift of hitting, that a man of twelve
stone should fight for two hours and eight minutes, and leave cff
with a few slight contusions. Bendigo, however, declared, pre-
vious to entering the ring, that, win or lose, he would not fight
again, a resolution we sincerely commend. lie is thirty-three
years of age, a time at which professed pugilists, especially of the
heavier weights, should retire. He may well repose beneath the
shade of the laurels lie has won, although we doubt not that there
are many who would fain pluck the leaves from his brow. Both
sides cannot be satisfied ; the London division, and the most expe-
rienced members of the corps pugilistique, have large odds in favour
of Count, whose science,l it was declared, was so much improved
that Bendigo would be served a /a Nick Ward ; the result proved
their error. Bendigo is a bolder man than Ward—ready, cool, and
courageous ; the first fight with Ward, which Nick won, was but 11
or 12 minutes ; the second, which he lost, 47 minutes of manoeuvring,
while Bendigo, on the first occasion, fought Caunt 22 rounds and
47 minutes; and on the second, alter 75 rounds, occupying
1 hour and 20 minutes, he lost by getting down too quickly ;
this third time he contended for 128 minutes, a pretty convincing
proof of tho difference between Caunt's two ecalapetitors. Caunt
will, of course, challenge the championship, and in the present dearth
of big men we do not know of any one who could contest the claim.
Independent of ill-health, we cannot think the Tipton Slasher, slow
and navigatorish, could have the ghost of a chance with so resolute
and two-handed a fighter as the mighty Ben—mighty, although for
the present, fallen. That the losers will grumble and seek to re-
vise the decision, we doubt not, but it is a duty which the press
owes, without fear, favour, partiality, or affection, to support ri-
gorously the decision of the appointed judge, when acting, as Mr. o—n
unquestionably did, with perfect bond fides. If this is not done, a most
dangerous and destructive precedent is introduced, which can involve
no lesser consequence than the utter ruin ofthe ring. No one can impeach
the uprightness of the judge, and the absurd rumours about the in-
tention to retain the stakes, divide them, or to adjourn the affair to
another day and another trial, are as foolish as they are mischievous.
If those who have always supported this authority are the first to
renounce, deny, and invalidate It, what can be said ? That they are
the worst enemies of the system they ',press to uphold. In con-
clusion, we may observe that the result of the battle was known in
London before eight, by means of pigeons and the telegraph. Many
clever people, however, knew It for certain long before it took place.
The lateness of the hour, half-past six—it was dark a little after
seven—precluded the possibility of the second contest, that between
Maley and Merriman, from be,ng proceeded with. Indeed, as those
worthies have proved rather long-winded in their former battles, it
would be as well to give them a ' long day.' "

CHIMNEY ON FIRE.—In consequence of the great
increase and prevalence of fire, from foul chimneys in the vicinity of
Spitalflelds, the churchwardens of Christchurch have published and
distributed bills drawing the attention of the inhabitants to the sub-
ject. They quote the Act of 14th George 111., cap. 78, sec. 78, by
which all lodgers, tenants, renters, or holders of apartments, are
liable to the expenses incurred in case of any alarm of ere, from such
a cause, which may be recovered by the churchwardens by distraint
upon the goods or chattels, if the amount be Not paid within fourteen
days, and expressing their intention to carry the provisions of the Act
strictly into operation.

A GENTLEMAN BITTEN BY A RABID DOG.-
On Friday morning, between eleven and twelve o'clock, a serious ac-
cident occurml to Mr. 'llamas Vandervelde, a law student, residing
in University-street, Tottenham-court-road. It appears that the
young gentleman had been fondling a pet dog of the terrier breed,
when the animal suddenly made a spring, and bit him in the hand.
110 did not, however, at the moment pay any particular attention to
the circumstance, attributing it to mere play. A few hours after-
wards, the arm becoming painful and inflamed, he was induced, :it
time suggestion aids friends, to send for medical assistance, when it
was found necessary both to excise, and afterwards cauterise, the
injured parts. As the symptoms have since abated, strong hopes are
-,ltertained of Mr. Vandervelde's recovery. The dog, having evinced
unequivocal signs of hydrophobia, was destroyed without loss of
time.

RICHMOND MECIZANIES' INSTITUTION.—MF. Field
delivered the first of a course of lectures on the Naval and Mi-
litary Services at this institution, on Monday evening, to a nu.
merous audience. The lecturer illustrated his subject by sing-
ing a variety of Dibdin's and other national songs, his execu-
tion of which elicited the warmest applause ; among others,
" Totn Bowline" and " The Death of Nelson" deserve particu-
lar mention. He was accompanied by his son (quite a youth),
who also sang "The Midshipman's Parting Address to his
Mother" and Poor Bessie" in a very :creditable manner, and
between the parts of the lecture played the overture to Rot
Diavolo with much brilliancy.
The keystone of the last arch in the splendid
bridge across the Lowther, on the Lancaster and Carlisle Rail-
way, was secured on Wednesday last. The height from the bed
of the river to the top of the parapet is upwards of 100 feet.—

CANDIDATES FOR HOLY ORDERS.—A short time
since some of the Bishops, in their places in the House of
Lords, expressed their intention of allowing schoolmasters to
become candidates for holy orders, without undergoing an uni-
versity qualification. The Lord Bishop of London has recently
been written to upon this subject, and the question put to him,
whether he would or not allow schoolmasters to become candi-
dates in his diocese? His Lordship replied by stating that,
whatever other Bishops might do, he should not depart from the
ancient custom of requiring the candidates to have graduated
at the Universities of Orford or Cambridge.— Cantbridye Ad-
vertiser.

Ap,ley House is unlergoing some decorative re-
pairs during the absence of the Noble Duke at Walmer Castle.
ASYLUM FOR TILE HOUSELESS POOR.—The Poor-
law Commissioners having issued an order to the Guardians
of the Greenwich Union to elect guardians for the new asylum
far the houseless poor, to be called the South Eastern Metro-
politan District, and to embrace the parishes and unions of
Greenwich, Lewisham, St. Olave's (Southwark), St. Giles's
(Camberwell), St. Mary Magdalene (Bermondsey), and St.
Mary (Rotherhithe), the guardians met on Thursday
last, and by a majority of nine to three, agreed to the
following resolution :—" That this board having beets at
great expense in providing a refuge for the house-
less poor, and finding the same answers the purpose
intended by the Legislature, do not consider it necessary that
we should be annexed to any other parish or union, whereby
great and unnecessary expense would be grievously entailed
upon this union." The Board of Commissioners who consti-
tute the local authorities of the parish of Woolwich met by
special summons on Tuesday evening, to consider this mea-
sure, which is loudly complained of in consequence of the
enormous expense it will entail upon the parish, and its entire
removal of the vagrant poor from local superintendence. It
was resolved, after a lengthened discussion, that a public
meeting of the inhabitants should be called to memorialise the
Commissioners against the measure.
THEATRE ROYAL, CHURCH-STREET, LIVERPOOL.
—This favourite and :established theatre opened last week un-
der circumstances of unusual brilliancy, and with a dramatic
corps of such varied excellence and high reputation that pro-
mise and ought to command the greatest success in the under-
taking. Mrs. H. P. Grattan, so popular some time since at
Covent-garden Theatre, the:Princess, and Adelphi, has become
the lessee. The interior of the theatre, decorated in a style of
costly magnificence and exquisite taste, has created quite a
furore in the patrons of the drama. Among the performers of
London reputation at present fulfilling engagements there, are
Barker and Weiss, the vocalists ; Mr. John Lee, the comedian ;
with Madame Louise, Mademoiselle Adele, and Mr. A. Web-
ster, from Drury-lane Theatre. The opera of La Sonnam-
bula, ar.d the ballet of Giselle, have each been produced with
the most perfect success. In the former, Mrs. H. P. Grattan
executed the music of Amine most admirably. In the stock
company is a son of the celebrated James Wallack, who gives
promise of the highest excellence as a comedian. The stage
arrangements and direction of the theatre are under the super-
intendence of Mr. John Ryan, of Covent-garden Theatre,
whose intimate knowledge of the profession is a guarantee for
the superiority of the future arrangements for the season.

SURREY ZOOLOGICAL GARDENS.—Our attention
has been called to a letter, signed J. Van Amburgh, which ap.
p
in the Morning Post of Thursday, and which states that the
t,evaorleidons which have been recently added to the collection at these
gardens are the property of Mr. Van. Amburgh, and will be re-
moved to America in a few days. We have authority to
contradict this statement in the most Unqualified manner.
The lions arc the property of Er. Tyler, the proprietor of the
gardens, who purchased :thein, by auction, a short time
since.
Moreover, Mr. Van Amburgh, the alleged writer of the letterisa
present in America, and the very lions referred to are now to be
seen at the Surrey Gardens.
PEDESTRIANISM.---NOVEL PEAT. On Thursday a
pederttian feat of a rather singular character was performed by
Raymond, of Brixton, who undertook for a wager of 5/. a side,
that he would pick up from thegr,ou,niadedanodn with his mouth only,
one hundred eggs, each egg being

line, and at a yard apart from the
other, and thecon rvoeayd

time and deposit them in a bucket of water placed at the starting
end, within fifty-five minutes. The match came off near the
Windmill, Clapham Park. The pedestrian entered upon his her-
culean task, and commenced the removal of the eggs at the far end,
and working homewards. He had to start one hundred times,
and after labouring for fifty-two minutes he had accomplished his
match, and won easily by three minutes to spare. The distance
of ground that was actually run over during the performance of the
feat is 5 miles 5 furlongs 200 yards.
