LATER FROM AMERICA.

LIVIRPOOL, MONDAY MORNING. - The fast-sailing
ship See, 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 States.

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 Guadaloupe 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
F peedi y hauled down by the citizens. No serious
damage resulted. The loyal party were completely
triumphant.
At a meeting of the Whigparty 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-
The caterpillar has made its appearance almost
annually.
NEW YORB, SEPT. 26.—The sales of cotton are 800
bales, at steady prices. Flour is rather dull of sale, but
firmer. Ashes bring 84 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 s29f
to 30c.

The exchange on England is 1091, and on Paris, 5,221

THE REGISTRATIONS.

Fleas on this important point.

LONG LIFE IN THE LAKE DISTRICT.—Many and
many are the accounts that appear in the newspapers,
from time to time, relating to longevity, but most of
them are only related after the heroes of them are dead.
Ours shall be a tale of living wonders. There are at pre-
sent residing in the neighbourhood of Ilawkshead four
women, whose ages average 90 years each, two of whom
are never failing attendants at Hawkshead Church every
Sunday. They are all well and hearty, and are as likely
for hying as they have been for the hut twenty years.—
Wostmoreland Gazette.

THE LATE STORIL—We have heard of consider-
able damage being caused in the neighbourhood of this
city by the floods which have succeeded the late heavy
rains. One of the bridges on the Mallow road has been
carried away, and vehicles have now to take a consider-
able roucd in consequence. A respectable correspon-
dent writinl from Castletownroche says—" Three
bridges and four houses were swept away, and seven
acres of land inundated. On the grounds of Ballyduff,
near Castletownroche, the flood came down from the
mountain with overwhelming force, and caused the
greatest apprehension in the neighbourhood ; the con-
sequences to the poor people have been very disastrous."

TIIE LATE STORM IN IRELAND. —We regret to
state that a shipwreck, attended with melancholy con-
sequences
occurred off the coast near Rush. Between
the hours of ten and eleven o'clock, and when the storm
was just attaining its highest pitch, signals of distress
were loudly and frequently heard by the people on
shore ; but the point from which the wind blew, and
the absolute danger of any such attempt, precluded the
possibility of any assistance being afforded. Through-
out the night the greatest fears were entertained
for the safety of the vessel and crew, evidently
placed in a perilous position, which the morning but
too nnhapily realised. : for at an early hour yes-
terday morning portions of the cargo, consisting of palm
oil, &c., were discovered lying along the coast at diffe-
rent places. In a short time afterwards it was dis-
covered that some of the crew had succeeded in getting
to shore, from whom the melancholy intelligence was
learned that the captain of the vessel, his wife, and one
of the crew, had been lost, and the truth of this state-
ment was confirmed by the bodies of the two last men-
tioned persons being washed on shore almost at the same
moment. The body of the captain has not yet been
found. The vessel belonged to, or sailed from Halifax ;
but we have not yet been able to ascertain its name, or
where bound to.—Cont Reporter.
