AMERICAN NEW►.

ARRIVAL of the GREAT WESTERN,
LIVERPOOL, SATURDAY MORNING.

The Great Western steamer, under command of
Captain B. R. MathewA, arrived here lust night, at half-
past ten, with forty-eight passengers. She left New
York on the 18th instant, and has therefore made the
voyage in rather over fifteen days.

The news from Mexico by this arrival confirms the
opinion before expressed, that there will be no war be-
tween Mexico and the United States. With an ex-
hausted treasury, ill fed and clothed troops, and, more-
over, civil war and rebellion in her provinces, Mexico,
by the force of circumstances, is compelled to pocket the
affront she fain would resent and resist if she had the
power.

The Washington Union, the official paper, says:—

" Just as we are going to press, we learn that Government
has received some interesting in'ormation from the capital of
Mexico, to the 23d of August, and from Vera Cruz to the
30th, inclusive. It is said from the capital, that the new
Cabinet is considered as opposed to the war: and even if it
were otherwise disposed, it has not the means to carry on a
war; that it is with the greatest difficulty it can raise the
means to defray its necessary daily expenses; and that the
war excitement is going down daily among all parties.
" The accounts from Vera Cruz, of the 29th, state that
there has b: en a retrograde movement in regard to the inva-
sion of Texas—General Paredas absolutely refusing to march
his forces (7,000 troops) towards Texas; that he has him-
self repaired to Mexico, and others have followed his example.
The opinion was pretty well established at Vera Cruz, that
the Mexicans will never attempt to cross the Rio Bravo;
that they have made all the bluster they can; that they are
without money, without credit, and, consequently powerless ;
and that they are, moreover, on the eve of a revolution,
which will overturn the present Government."
In a subsequent paragraph the official speaks yet more
confidently, and referring to these lateaccounts from Mexico
exclaims "Thus pass off the gasconades and blusters of
Mexico." So be it—and let us hope that neither by insult-
ing language in officiai quarters, nor by offensive demonstra-
tions on the part of the armed forces of the United States
stationed in and beyond Texas—•may that feeble but
passionate nation, be driven into hostilities they would fain
avoid.

From Texas later intelligence, though of little im-
portance, has been received at New Orleans, by the brig
Maria Shears.
The Convention had not adjourned. The Austin cer-
respondent of the Galveston News states that they have
fixed upon 21 Senators and 66 Representatives to consti-
tute the Legislature. There had been an animated dis-
cussion of two days on the qualifications of voters. An
amendment was adopted, but afterwards set aside, placing
all residents of Texas, at the time of the adoption of the
new Constitution by our Government, on the same foot-
ing as regards citizenship and suffrage. It was doubt' ul
how the question would be finally settled. A great
amount of business remained to be done.

The boundary question, and the organization of the
State Government, were to be disposed of. President
Jones arrived at Austin on the 14th, and a resolution
was offered the next day for the appointment of a
commmittee to wait on him and consult with him touch
ing the propriety of re-organizing the State Government
at once.

The Convention had adopted the anti-duelling clause
engrossed on the constitution of Louisiana. Lotteries
are prchibited. Judges are to be nominated by the
Governor and confirmed by two-thirds of the Senate.
The term of office is six years.

ST. PAUL'S EXHIBITION.—It may not be generally
known that among tie metropolitan exhibitions is included
the interior of St. Paul's between the services, which, under
the management—.' the Dean and Chapter, is open to the
public at nead. This speculation, perhaps, would an-
swer better were greater publicity given to it. The Dean and
Chapter might find it worth their while to advertise their
church in the newspapers. A few shillings spent in this way,
painful as might be the sacrifice, would be money well laid
out. At all events, their reverences might distribute about
town a few placards and posters, and bills of their exhibi •
tions, like those put forth by the Colosseum people. Every-
body is not aware that St. Paul's, as well as the building by
the'Regent's-park, has its glvptotheca, with Lord Nelson in
it, andthere

canvass displaying paintings of the lions to be seen within.
On the scatford should be seated a dozen beefeaters or so,
with drums, trumpets, ophicleides, trombones, and pandean
pipes, who, their music, should attract the attention of
passengers. To these, perhaps, we would add a clown, to

mence!" "Only two pence!" and so forth. But this would
be scandalous—unclerical—prof the ! Very well. Then we
would throw open our doors gratis. We would be either
clergymen or showmen, but whichever we called ourselves,
we would act as such.—Panch.
MANCHESTER AND SOUTHAMPTON RAILWAY.—The
Chairman ( Mr. Hudson, M.P.) and Board of the Midland
Railway have given their decided support to this new line;
