• The object of the proposed line (for which application will be made
to Parliament in the ensuing session) is to supply an important link
in a communication connecting the town of Great Yarmouth and the
Eastern Coast of the kingdom with the Western, Midland, and
Northern districts, accommodating in its progress the city of Nor-
wich, the town of King's Lynn, Sutton Bridge, and the towns of
Long Sutton, Holbeach, Spalding, Boston, Spilaby, by Louth, and
Grimsby.
Commencing at the proposed terminus of the Lynn, Dereham, and
Norwich Railway at Lynn, the line will proceed by Sutton Bridge
and the towns of Long Sutton and Holbeach to Boston, there con-
necting itself with the Boston Branch of the Cambridge an Lincoln
line, which that Company have, in pnrsuance of a pledge given to
the Board of Trade, agreed to carry into effect : thence it will pro-
ceed through Boston, Spilsby, and Louth to Grimsby, where it will
connect itself with the Great Grimsby and Sheffield line.
The Board of Trade having reported in favour of the Newark and
Sheffield line, that Company have announced their intention to ex-
tend their project from Newark to a junction at Sleaford with the
Cambridge and Lincoln line.
It is also intended to extend the proposed line of railway from Hol-
beach to Spalding, there to form a junction with the Spalding and
Stamford Branch of the Cambridge and Lincoln line, which that
Company have also pledged themselves to the Board of Trade to
carry into effect.
It cannot fail to be observed that the projected lines will together
form the most direct, complete, and continuous communication
between the eastern, western, midland, and northern districts of the
kingdom, will bring the important markets of Norwich and Man-
chester nearer to each other by fifty miles than by any other line of
railway ; and besides giving communication to the ports of Grimsby,
Boston, King's Lynn, Spalding, and Sutton Bridge, with the interior
of the country, and with each other, will afford the greatest amount
of local accommodation to the intermediate districts ; in addition to
which, these towns and districts will be placed on a through line to
the metropolis, by their connexion with the Lynn and Ely and the
Northern and Eastern Railways.
From a survey recently made by Mr. Fulton of that portion of the
line from Lynn to Boston, it appears there is no tunnelling, cutting,
or embanking, of any importance necessary, and that the line will
be practically a dead level. Under these circumstances, and from
the investigation that has been made of the other portion of the line,
it is confidently estimated that the proposed capital will be amply
sufficient for the construction of the necessary works and every con-
sequent expense, and the income derivable from the great traffic which
must necessarily arise, not only from the transit of passengers, but
from the transport of fish, as well as of corn, cattle, and other pro-
duce of the great agricultural district through which the lines pass to
the principal food-consuming districts,•and of coals, lime, and staple
commodities for the inland districts, will afford an ample return for
the proposed outlay of capital.
It is proposed to apply for the usual power to allow interest at the
rate of 4/. per cent. per annum upon the paid-up capital from the
date of each payment until the completion of the railway.
A large proportion of the capital being already secured, it has
been determined to limit the period for receiving applications for the
remaining Shares to the 21st Instant, -until 'which date applications
will be received by the Solicitors and Parliamentary Agents, or by
the undermentioned Brokers :—Messrs. B. and M. Boyd, and Mr.

AMERICAN NEWS.

(From the National Register, Government organ.)
If the people of Texas choose to revolutionize their
Government and institute some new and different repub-
lican organization, they may do so without the leave of
a foreign Government " first had and obtained." But
the United States. have acknowledged our title to be re-
cognised as an irulependent nation, both de facto and de
jure. Should voe adopt the course designated by their
resolutions we, at once lose the benefit of that acknow-
ledgment. We pass into a state of imbecile and hope=
lessdependenee upon that power—to be annexed ?—cer-
tainly never, until their aspiring partizans shall cease to
need the material we now furnish them for the maim
facture of political capital. Our relations }with other
Governments dissolved, and our own nationality re-
nounced, the United States may consent to hold—as
they shall have consented to place us—in a state of
penultimate but unaccomplished, annexation I
But even this consent of the American Congress,
meagre and valueless as it is to the people of Texas, but
for which we are required to give to the United States a
lien upon our country's sovereignty—this worthless con-
sent, as if begrudged to Texas, is eked out to her at a
miser's usury, and is shackled with what lawyers call
" conditions precedent." Passing by the required sa-
crifice of our right to adjust the boundaries of our ter
ritory, the consent of that Congress, even once more to
entertain the Texas question, is coupled with the cold
assurance, that if we are ever admitted into the Union
at all, we must cede to the United States " all our
mines,' minerals, salt lakes and springs, also all our
public edifices, fortifications, barracks, ports and
harbours, navy and navy yards, docks, tnagazines,
arms, firmaments, and all other propertyand means per-
taining to the public defence." We mast also yield up
our revenue and our capacity to raise one, which single
item, under the financial regulatioties • of our foster.
ing stepmother, would bring into her treasury at
least three hundred thousand dollars per annum ; for
which we have her kind permission to retain our public
debt, and keep our public domain; subject, however, to
the payment of the debt, and circumscribed within-such
limits as,she may, hereafter, be pleased to assign to our
territory, in the exercise of her characteristic and far-
stretching diplomacy which once reached even to the
western banks of the Sabine ! We must, moreover,
truckle to her pet abolitionists, by obligating ourselves
to prohibit slavery north of the parallel of thirty-six
degrees thirty minutes, known as the Missouri Compro-
mise line.
We have always been a warm and hearty advocate for
the cause of annexation ; but never did we dream that
the approval of the people of texas would be required
to a proposition so absurd—so degrading as the one pro-
pounded by this resolution. Our space does not now
admit of further detail. Suffice it, that we contrast our
present elevated position, as a people, secure in the enjoy-
ment of
independence
and in the speedy acquisition of acknow-
ledged ; secure in the wealth which the
commerce of Europe is about to pour into our lap, and in
the increasing value of our lands, arising from ex-
tended occupation, and the investment of foreign capital;
secure of becoming " the most favoured" by those
a interest
and erful and wealthy sovereignties, whom both
and policy impel to cherish our prosperity and growth,
that their markg may be supplied with our staples ;
and secure that the increase of commerce will speedily
render no less consistent than desirable, a great diminu-
tion of the present tariff, with the alternative presented
by this resolution, of Texas divested of all these high
privileges and advantages ; shorn of her attributes as a
nation ; crippled in her commerce, in her prosperity, in
her domestic resources ; depressed by the burdens of
public debt and direct taxation ; her land in consequence
depreciated in value ; and in the event of final annexa•
Lion upon the proposed basis, our public domain not only
razed and mortgaged to secure the payment of our debt,
but even eviscerated of its mineral wealth, to swell the
federal treasury.
This is indeed but a dim and totally inadequate view of
the actual pit and grave of insignificance and infamy into
which the House of Representatives of the American
Congress have proposed to plunge this nation.
" Since he, miscall'd the morning star,
Nor man—nor fiend hath fallen so far I"
[From the Civilian and Galveston Gazette ]
The article which we now copy to-day from the
National Register, affords gratifying evidence of a return
on the part of the friends of annexation in this country,
to a proper sense of self-respect, and an understanding of
the position which Texas may and ought to essume in re-
lation to the question. Our friends beyond the Sabine
have lost sight of the homely adage that it takes two to
make a bargain, and only studied how to shape measures
so as to make the " reciprocity all on one side," until at
length their utter selfishness wad disregard of the respect
due to Texas as an independent nation, which has thus
far maintained her nationahty,' rights, and liberties,
begins to produce the natural fruits of disappointmentand aversion in those of our citizens who had looked to
that quarter for a magnanimous and disinterested regard
for our welfare and happiness. The helpless and perish-
ing beggar may, without hesitation, accept the most
humiliating 'conditions for and agree to become the
menial of, him from whom he receives the means of
averting famine and death ; but the sturdy yeoman,
whose honest industry and strong arm afford him all the
means of subsistence and protection requisite to his con-
dition and habits in life, may well shun the banquet and
the association, if invited into the society of the more
wealthy and presuming, when his acceptance is to be
coupled with acknowledgments of vassalage and in-
feriority.

LIVERPOOL, SUNDAY, APRIL 13.
ARRIVAL OF THE CAMBRIA.

The Royal Mail steamer Cambria, Captain Jud-
kins, arrived here this morning, after a quick voyage
of eleven and a half days from Boston, and nine days
and eighteen hours from Halifax. She has brought
upwards of 120 passengers.
The advices from Texas, received at New York,
have thrown rather a damp upon the glorious project
of annexation. Texas is very shy—she doubts if
annexation will be entirely for her benefit. The
Government paper opposes it altogether ; and so great
a damp is caused in New York, that most of the press
view the subject very coolly, and the New lork He-
rald doubts if Texas will be annexed at all.
We annex a copy of General Almonte's protest to
the Executive against the annexation of Texas. The
Minister, it is now said, intends to remain in New
York until he receives fresh instructions from the
new Mexican Administration, and he expresses openly
his belief that war will ensue. The New York Herald
states :—" That it is his intention to issue through
the press, and place before the American people, not
only the recent diplomatic correspondence between
him and our Government, but a number of other
yiettes.and considerations addressed to the American
people against the policy, the justice, and the legality
of the recent movements, in favour of the annexation
of Texas."
The protest of General Almonte is as follows :
(Translation.)
" The undersigned, &c., has the honour to address
the Hon. J. C. Calhoun, &c., for the purpose of making
known to him the profound regret with which he has
seen that the General Congress of the Union has passed
a law consenting to and admitting. into the American
confederation the Mexican province of Texas.
" The undersigned had flattered himself that in. this
question the good sense and sound opinions of the citi-
zens most distinguished and experienced in the manage-
ment of public affairs in this republic would have pre-
vailed in the deliberations of the legislative body and of
the union ; but unfortunately this has not been the case,
and, contrary to his hopes and most sincere wishes, he
sees consummated by the American Government an act
of aggression the most- unjust which can be recalled in
the annals of modern history, such as the spoliation of a
friendly nation, like Mexico, of a considerable part of
her territory.
" For these reasons, the undersigned, in fulfilment of
his instructions, finds himself obliged to protest, as he
lots accordingly protest, in the most solemn manner, in
the name of his Government, against the law passed on
the 28th of last month by the General Congress of the
United States, and sanctioned on the Ist of the present
month by the President of the said States, by which the
province of Texas, an integral part of the Mexican
territory, is allowed to be admitted into the American
union.
" The undersigned, in like manner, declares that the
aforesaid law can in no manner invalidate the right
which the Mexican nation possesses to recover the afore-
said province of Texas, of which she is now unjustly
despoiled, and which right she will sustain and enforce
at all times by whatever means are in her power.
" The undersigned will say, in conclusion, to the Hon.
Secretary of State of the United States, in order that be
may be pleased to inform the President of the said
States of the same, that in consequence of the law
against which he has just protested, his mission to this
Government is terminated from to-day. Consequently,
the undersigned requests the Hon. Secretary of State to
be pleased to send him his passports, as he has arranged
to quit this city as soon as possible for New York.
" The undersigned, &c.
" Washington, March 6."
Advices bad been received at New York, from
Cuba, to the 18th ult. They were unimportant.

CHRIST CHURCH, EXETER.
The recent melancholy events which have disturbed the
Diocese of Exeter" and which, it is feared, cannot be satisfactorily
settled, have largely contributed to enable:ll the neoessity for a Free.
Episcopal Church.
The party within the pale of the Establishment, who denounce
the Protestant Reformation, and labour without ceasing to subvert
its principles, cannot be sufficiently held in check in a diocese like
Exeter, where they are notoriously favoured by the Bishop, without
some large and determined effort to provide for the due celebration of
the services of the Church, in connexion with the faithful ministry
of the Gospel, free from the control of the ecclesiastical ruler.
To provide then for those who have been driven from their paro-
chial edifices by the semi-popish teaching of the clergy, it has been
felt needful to obtain ground in a central part of the city, on which
to erect a large and commodious church; the hall opened a few.
months since in Fore-street having proved quite insufficient to ac-
commodate the numerous congregation.

Christ Church is now erecting in East Southernhax—one of the
best situations in Exeter, and on the borders of the two populous
parishes of St. SidwelVs and Trinity. It will be constructe(l to seat
1,400 persons ; four hundred of the sittings will be free. The cost of
the ground and building, with other expenses, will exceed 4,0001.
The friends of Protestant truth throughout the country are re-
spectfully invited to sympathise with their brethren at Exeter, by
aiding with their contributions this spirited undertaking.
An opportunity is thus afforded them, not only to Strengthen the
hands of a small band, who, trusting in God, have commenced this
work, but to record their attachment to those principles which have
been esteemed the glory of Great Britain, and the distinguishing
excellence of her religious institutions.
Contributions for the Christ Church Building Fund will be received
for Henry Crofts, Esq., the Treasurer, at the City Bank, Exeter ; and
at Messrs. Roberts, Curtis, and Co., Bankers, London.

NATIONAL ANTI-CORN-LAW BAZAAR._
The Council of the League having determined upon holding
a Bazaar in the Theatre Royal Covent-garden, London, in aid of the
One Hundred Thousand Pounds Fund, beg to announce that it will
OPEN on Tuvaspay, May 8, for exhibition, and that on the succeed-
ing Monday, the 12th of May, the sale of articles will commence.
Many of the large manufacturing towns having intimated that they
intend to furnish their stalls with articles illustrative of their staple
manufacture, such contributions will not be removed at the period of
sale, but remain on view till the close of the Bazaar.
Contributions may be forwarded, from the 15th of April to the Ist
of May, addressed to George Wilson, Esq., Chairman, at the Theatre
Royal Covent-garden, London, where all the requisite arrangements
will be made for their reception.
As the inquiry is repeatedly made as to whether the articles sent to
the Bazaar should have the prices affixed by the contributors, or by
the Committee of Management in London, it is respectfully requested
that, wherever practicable, the contributors themselves will affix
their own prices to the articles according to the known cost of the
raw materials,
expendeda ponudtilrtheadm.ditional value given by the labour subse-
quently Upon application, the Council will be happy to forward to any of
the Local Committees, or individuals, who are preparing contribu-
tions, labels, on which may be placed the description of the article—
the price—and the name of the contributor.
The Council also would earnestly urge upon their friends in the
smaller towns and rural districts, where, from a variety of causes, it
may not be practicable to obtain contributions in the shape of manu-
factured goods, or articles of taste or fancy, that efforts should be
made to collect money contributions, and forward them before the Ist
of May, as Bazaar purses in aid of the League Fund.
. Such of the Local Committees as intend to furnish a stall, are
earnestly recommend to communicate with the Council without delay.
Full particulars of the general arrangements will appear shortly.

London: The Union Bank of Laden:—
Hereford and Brecon: The National Provincial Bank of England.
This undertaking will, in connection with existing and projected
lines of railway, .bring into immediate. communication with Birming-
ham, and the whole midland and Nornlern Districts of England, the
great mineral fields of Monmouthshire,,as well as those adjoining Car-
diff and Merthyr Tydvil ; at the same Vine it will furnish to the im-
portant agricultural counties of Hereford, Worcester, Brecon, and
M onmouth, a ready channel for the transmission of their produce to
the dense population inhabiting the mineral districts of South Wales.
The object of this company will be very materially aided, first, by
the existing line from Cardiff. to Merthyr: and, secondly, by the
lines intended to be formed by the Welsh Midland Railway Company.
The line will commence at Newport, and will thence proceed
northward by Pontypool and Abergavenny to Hereford, where (in
that direction) it will terminate. From Abergaveniry a branch will
extend eastward to 'Monmouth, and another westward to Brecon.
From Brecon an extension will be made to Merthyr, to join the
Taaff Vale Railway, ending at Cardiff. Thus will be established, In
addition to a free intercourse with more distant localitie's, a complete
chain of railway communication amongst the Important towns and
districts just enumerated, and which are now wholly unprovided in
that respect. The portion of the line extending westward from
Monmouth will also promote the most direct passenger route that
can be adopted from Monmouth to Carmarthen, and the South of
Ireland.
In addition to the main line and extensions above indicated, the
Directors propose to place themselves in immediate commtnication
with the proprietors of the most important works in the several dis-
tricts traversed, in order to fix the situation and the course of the
minor branches, which will be necessary to complete the comprehen-
sive scheme of communication intended ; and to this object regard
has been had in fixing the capital of the Company.
The investigations which have been made on the subject of the
traffic fully justify the conclusion that the undertaking is eminently
calculated for the advantage and convenience of the public, and that
it will prove a most profitable investment of capital.
In conclusion, it may suffice to observe that it is well known that
the scheme of a comprehensive system of inland communication in
the districts in question has already engaged the serious attention of
the tribunal appointed by the Legislature for the initiatory examina-
tion of railway projects ; and the Board of Trade has, in its report
on the Tring and Oxford schemes, fully recognised the great im-
portance and necessity of the chain of communication of which the
present undertaking will form a material link in the following man-
ner :—" The accommodation of Herefordshire, Worcestershire, South
Wales, and the important districts lying to the west of the present
lines of railway will evidently, at no distant period, require not only
a wide gauge railway along the southern coast, to place them in com-
munication with London, but also a narrow guage railway, to place
them in direct and unbroken communication, through Birmingham,
with the manufacturing districts and the great railway system of the
rest of the kingdom."
The engineering capabilities of the course of the line and exten-
sions have been ascertained to be excellent, and the capital proposed
will be ample for the construction of the 125 miles of rallwaY intended
to be formed.

- Galveston, Texas, March 4, 1845.
Dear Sir,—We have all, in this sectioa of country,
been looking with considerable anxiety for your journal,
to see what opinion you may have formed relative to the
recent discomfiture of the " Warwick of the Democracy,"
as, he is termed here, God save, the mark, but it appears
that you have not either deemed it necessary to expend
your shot on him, or, that being without the proper in-
formation, you did not think it advisable to hazard con-
jecture.

C. WATSON, 41 and 42, Barbican, and 16, Norton Folgate, aided by
a person of Science in the amalgamation of Metals, has succeeded in
appearance, with all its bringing to Public Notice the most beautiftil Article ever yet offered ;
possessing all the richness of Silver in
dura-
bility and hardness—with its perfect sweetness in use, undergoing, as
it does, a Chemical Process, by which, all that is nauseous in mixed
Metals is entirely extracted—resisting all Acids—may be cleaned as
silver, and is manufactured into every Article for the Table and
Sideboard:—

- (From the Galveston Weekly News.)
We have already furnished incontestible evidence that
the British policy in opposition to annexation has so far
succeeded, that her Britannic Majesty's Minister has ob-
tained the pledge of President Houston to use his best
endeavours to defeat that measure.

The perfection of these Lamps over the Vests has been
happily attained by the invention of two parallel flat rings—a larger
and a smaller forming a cone round the margin of the wick, which
cause a rapid reverberation of air against the flame—thus condensing
every particle of volatilized vapour, it is free from smoke or smell,
having perfect combustion, and in full action,

The advent of Duff Green, in this country, was pe-
culiarly auspicious. His arrival was heralded in
a long article in the Telegraph, of Houston, entitled
the " Warwick of the Democracy," which, it is
shrewdly conjectured, was written by himself. He
arrived at Galveston and created a good deal -of ex-
citement by giving out that he was en rank for Mexico,
to watch the movements of that Government, by
authority. He returned with a batch of informa-
tion of all kinds ; bringing, at the same time, the cor-
respondence between Shannon and Rejon—winked slyly,
put his fingers to his nose, and spoke knowingly of smat-
ters supposed to be going on in Mexico—insinuated very
gently that he had given Mr. Shannon immortality by
writing the diplomatic dispatches—talked of his con-
nexion with Mr. Calhoun—spoke of the distinguished
Southerner mentioned in Mr. Tyler's message to the
Senate, which first put him on his guard with regard to
the designs of Britain on Texas and abolition—and, in
short, he very meekly, by "insinuation," claimed to have
set the annexation ball in motion ; which, too, was to
make Texas great, Polk President, and he, Duff Green,
marvellous. On his arrival at Washington he took a
suite of rooms (for privacy)—your Minister boarded
and lodged in a room with a dozen at the same time—
and commenced his practice as adviser-general to
the nation—proposed that the whole tariff regula-
tions should be changed—proved it by certain funda-
mental principles, the gist of which was, that they, if
adopted, would throw the North into a fever for an-
nexation—throw Mr. Polk into the hands of Mr. Cal-
houn, and, finally, make him, C., President. All these
doings, it now appears, was only preliminary to his
grand dehisce, which came off shortly after, as follows:
He proposed to Dr. Jones, President, to sign or recom-
mend a Bill for frontier protection, which was to be
done, without cost to Texas, as follows: General Green
and his associates were to be incorporated into a com-
pany, with power to levy war on Mexico, to conquer and
annex territory, and to pay the expenses of the war
with the spoils. To do this they were to have the pri-
vilege of inducing some sixty thousand Northern In-
dians to migrate to Texas, to be placed under the
control of the company, to carry on the war with, &c.
The President, being a reasonable man, gently ob-
jected to this wholesale annexation of! the wrong
side of the Rio, and perhaps said so. The General quite
as politely insinuated to him, that if he did not sign such
a Bill when passed, that he would make his seat anything
other than one of roses—in fact, that he would revolu-
tionise the country. The result was that he was ordered
out of presence, and proclaimed as you have seen. So
ended the matter.

We are told, that upon condition of our renouncing
the American Union for ever, the monarchical powers of
Europe will then terminate our formidable war with
Mexico " forthwith, and compulsively." The same
friendly promise has been made, from time to time, for
the last seven or eight years ; and its repetition, just at
this particular crisis, when the speedy success of annexa-
tion is beyond all reasonable doubt, is exceedingly well
timed, in order to create a re-action in the public feeling
of this country. • We are not told whether this friendly
mediation is again to be attended by another " armistice"
as a necessary preliminary step, to be afterwards " im-
proved into one of more convenient duration." We are,
however, assured that " France and England will openly
submit to the consideration of our Government and
people inducements for us to remain independent." Such
information as this is usually confined to the chief agents
of Government as a matter of State secresy, and is rarely
furnished to the public journals, except for the purpose
of political influence and foreign counteraction. This
announcement is made in the positive and unqualified
terms of a negotiator, who has participated in all the
Cabinet secrets and intrigues of both hemispheres.
The public need not be surprised should this singular
manifesto prove to be the harbinger of party organiza-
tion, and of great exertions in this country, to counter-
act the labours of our friends in the United States and to
defeat this great measure here, after it has triumphed
there.—" We shall see."
The Civilian of the Bth has the following paragraph
in relation to the export trade in provisions, &c. :—We
still look, with great confidence, for the period when a
highly important and lucrative trade will be done in the
exportation of many articles from Texas, which have not
hitherto come into the account of the foreign trade of
the country. Within the last year important advances
have been made, and there is a good prospect that they
will continue until the many important but dormant re-
sources, which are capable of making Texas the most
prosperous country on the globe, are developed.
The same paper, referring to the fact that the trade
between Galveston and Havannab is beginning to attract
attention, and the prspect that it will ultimately become
of great importance, publishes a list of the rates and
charges for commission, &c., on purchases, sales, &c., in
Havannah.
The same paper of the Ist instant has the following
paragraph in relation to Gen. Duff Green's misunder-
standing with the Texian President. It seems from this
that the affair has not been settled, as stated.
We observe a statement in some of the United States
papers that the matter between the President of Texas

kind, further than appears from the proclamation, has
ever been made of the matter, unless a remark of the
President that he regretted the necessity which com-
pelled him to take the course he did, may be so consi-
dered. Neither he nor his friends believe that the pro-
clamation: was predicated upon any misapprehension
or insufficient cause whatever. The American Minister,
we have understood, entertains similar views.

COPY of a LETTER from WILLIAM
COURTNEY, Esq.
To Mr. THOMAS PROUT, 229, Strand, London.
Church Farm, Barton Stacey, near Andover Railway
Station, Hants, October 26, 1844,
Sir,—l cannot help expressing my astonishment in the effect I have
experienced in taking your Pills for the Gout. I was taken on Thurs-
day night so severely with it as to be with difficulty able to get out
of my bed, and atter I arose I had severe pains, followed on with in-
flammation of the foot increasing. I took three of your Pills, and
within two hours I found the pain to entirely cease. I afterwards
took two Pills at a dose twice in the day, and I am, thank God, this
morning able to walk without the slightest inconvenience. I. found in
a previous very severe attack very great relief; I had the pains in
my knees and thighs so very severe at that time, I thought I must
have died, and that it must have .gone into my stomach. At that
time I had resort to your Pills, and they relieved me—within two
hours I was quite easy. The use of these Pills ought, really, to be
known all over the world. I have a brother, a young man, that
suffers horribly with it, and his greatest relief and preventive has
been your Pills. Make what use you please of my report.-1 ours
truly and respectfully, WILLIAM COURTNEY.
Among the many discoveries that characterise the present age, none
have contributed so much to the comfort and case of the community,
nor conferred such a boon upon suffering humanity, as the impor-
tant discovery of BLAIR'S GOUT AND RHEUMATIC PILLS,
he efficacy of which has been tested by the approval and recom-
mendation of many of the greatest men of our day. They are effec-
tive for gout and rheumatism, in all its various forms, including
sciatica, lumbago, pains in the head and face, frequently treated as
tooth-ache, &c. They require ,neither confinement nor attention of
any kind, and invariably prevent the disease attacking- the stomach,
brain, or other vital part.
Sold by Thomas Prout, 229, Strand, London ; and, by his appoint-
ment, by all respectable medicine vendors throughout the United
Kingdom. Price 2s. 9d. per box.

serve the name and address of " Thomas Pront, 229, Strand, London,

There is no news here. The people are opposed to the
Bill of annexation, and the opposition is gaining ground.
A fair treaty, as a State, assuming our public debt, &c.,
would be accepted almost unanimously, but they do not
like this mongrel annexation.
Yours, truly,

THE IMPORTANT INTELLIGENCE FROM
TEXAS.
HOSTILITY OF THE GOVERNMENT TO AN-
NEXATION.
We give, in another column, late and highly important
intelligence from Texas, from which it would appear
that annexation is as far off as ever. The organ of the
government—the National Register—is, it will be seen,
exceedingly bitter and determined in its expression of
hostility to the House resolutions, and it is quite appa-
rent that so far as the Executive of Texas is concerned,
the terms offered by the Congress of the United States
will be rejected with the utmost scorn. We are strongly
inclined to believe that the article in the Register was
written by President Jones himself. It is couched
in his style, and there can be no doubt that it ex•
presses his sentiments. How the mass of the people
are disposed to treat the matter remains to be seen; but
whatever the decision of the popular will may be, the
completion of the measure may be now regarded as in-
definitely postponed.
It will be recollected that immediately on the passage
of the resolution leaving to the President the choice of
the alternatives, the House Resolutions, as they are
called, being the one, and Mr. Renton's bill the other,
Mr. Tyler selected the former, which it now appears was

(From N. 0. Republican, March 14.)
Papers from Galveston to the Bth inst., and from
Washington (the capital) to the Ist inst., have reached
us by the steamship New York. It appears that some
of the Texans are not at all pleased with the terms of
annexation contained in the resolutions just passed.
They look at the measure as a one-sided affair al-
together, and that they would be sadly. shorn by their
big sister Republic, in their acquiescing in the sacrifice
of their customs, dues, public property, &c. &c., as the
price of their admission into the Union. The National
Register is really savage at " the actual pit and grave of
insignificence and infamy," which these resolutions, as it
states, would plunge the Textan nation. The Register,
however, is the organ of the anti-annexationists, who are
but an insignificant fraction of the people.
The Galveston News still advocates the cause of an-
nexation. _

people, and the probability is,\that-tito-12iItueiia the
Government, and various otherlAttiatieixtriiN eto
defeat the project altogether. -There certainly cannot
be any doubt that the resolutions are less favourable to
Texas than the treaty rejected by the Senate, and con-
templated by Mr. Benton's resolutions, which were to
negotiate on the same principles. And it was very well
known at the time, in well-informed quarters, that the
feeling in Texas was likely to run counter to the reso-
lutions selected by Mr. Tyler.
It would appear, therefore, that Mr. Tyler and Mr.
Calhoun, in selecting that alternative, had some inkling,
probably through Duff Green, that such a proposition
would be negatived by the Government of Texas, and
was not likely to please the people, and that by selecting
it the whole annexation question would be again thrown
before the people, in our elections throughout the coun-
try, and that thus the question would remain as unsoiled
as ever. The conduct of Mr. T.) ler, and the hazty man-
ner in which he dispatched his messenger to r lie Govern-
ment of Texas, after selecting the worst mid most un-
palatable resolutio-ns, would thus; seem to imply that he
did not wish to see the question settled, and desired tl,
take it out of the hands of Mr. Polk altogether, leaving
it to popular discussion for future direction.
It would appear, from a recent vote in secret session
of the Senate, made public the other day, that the Pre-
sident is prohibited from selecting any ether mode of
annexation, so that in ..very point of view, and on ail
bands, the question is afloat again.—When we take all
this into consideration—the movements in South Caro-
lina hostile to Mr. Polk—the determination of the Whig
party to resist annexation to the latest gasp—and
various other matters ; we arc very much inclined to
believe that annexation is as far off as ever, and that the
battle must be fought over again.
_

(Fromi the. Nero—York Herald.)

The. Texas Nat;onal Register, a paper recently esta-
blished at the capital, contains a long and able article
on the Annexation Bill, which was then known to hare
passed the United States' House ef Representatives,
and which afterwards became a law. It opposes it very
bitterly, on the ground that too much is required of
Texas, and too little is yielded to her. The sacrifice
of her nationality, the ending of her stipulations with
foreign Powers, the surrender of the public property,
and the other conditions demanded are thought too
great a price to pay for the privilege of being admitted
as a State at some future time, if the United states' Go-
vernment see fit to do so. The same paper publishes
the following paragraph by way of er,mment upon the
propositions made in England to repeal the duty on
cotton :—The political importance of its speculations is
entirely nullified by the prospect that the cotton of the
United States, as well as that of Texas, will be admitted
to the hen .fit of this new regulation.
" The removal of this duty on cotton will enable the
British Government to throw vast commercial advantages
into the hands of the merchants and planters of Texas.
We have every reason to believe, that if we conclude to
remain independent, this duty will be removed from all
Texas cotton introduced into English ports, while it will
be retained upon that produced in the United States.
Under this discrimination in our favour, may be also
embraced sugar and tobacco. In this way, our rival-
ship with the United States will be almost instanta-
neously established ; for, under such an arrangement,
they wculd gain by the change an increase of profits
of not less than forty per cent. per annum."
The UNITED STATES AND MEXICO.--The Notional
Intelligeneer of yesterday morning, in one of those well
considered articles, which distinguish it as an intelligent
and Ltatestnaulike journal, after adverting to the remark-
able fact that while hazarding all the chances of war
with Mexico, by the proposal to annex Texas, Congress
has actually cut down the appropriations both fur Army
and Navy—asks this significant question :
" Should Mexico at once (as is altogether possible)
issue her commissions, and, lending her flag to the pri-
vateers ef all countries, let them loose upon our trade,
what is to be done ? Is the President of the United
States to make war of his own authority ? Can he do
so with no appropriations except those for a state of
peace ?"

- Who shall answer ? And if there be no authority
and no means to resist aggression without convening a
special Session of Congress, what is our position ?

MASSACHUSETTS AND SOUTH CAROLINA.—The fol-
lowing order, adopted in the House of Representatives
of Massachusets on Wednesday, will show the stand
which that State has determined to take in respect to
the matters in controversy between her and South
Carolina :

" Ordered, That the Committee to whom was referred
the message of the Governor upon the subject of the
treatment of the lion. Samuel Hoar, in South Carolina,
be directed to report to the Legislature, resolves to the
following effect, viz. :

" That Massachusetts is restrained from further pre-
sent action in behalf of her citizens imprisoned in South
Carolina solely on account of their colour, and from the
exercise of her own powers to protect the commerce of
her citizens, by her unwillingness to do the slightest vio-
knee to the Constitution of the United States, the pro-
tection of which she is claiming for her own citizens in
the premises.
" That South Carolina having, by her constituted au-
thorities, interfered to prevent access- to the Courts of
the United States within her territory, it becon.es the
duty of the General Government to afford to the citi-
zens of our Commonwealth, while in another State, all
the rights guaranteed to them by the constitution of the
United States;
" And that Massachusetts now demands, and will con-
tinue to demand, that the General Government make
such change in the jurisdiction of the federal courts, or
such provisions by law, as will enable any citizens of
Massachusetts, who may hereafter be imprisoned in
any other State solely on account of his colour, to urge
his claim to liberty and protection in the courts of the
United States ; and that cur senators and representa-
tives be requested to lose no opportunity of urging this
subject upon the consideration of Congress."—New York,
March 20.

(Correspondence of the Ti ibune.)
WASHINGTON, MARCH 22, 1845.—We have an inte-
resting item of news to-day, which is. that M. Bodisco,
the Russian Ambassador, has formally entered a protest
with our Government on behalf of the Emperor of Russia
against the annexation of Texas. Though but a rumour,
the source from which it comes entitles it to con-
sideration.

I understand that letters have been received from our
Charge at Texas (or the locust tenens of the Chargiahip,
in the absence of Major Donelson, whom we are paying
to be there), stating that the people of Texas will not
accept our proposition for annexation. It may be that
the star of Texas will yet refuse to shine in our

TEXAS.--The National Intelligencer copies the stric-
tures of the Texan papers on the subject of Annexation
with this remark :—" Our readers must receive a dif-
ferent impression from the perusal of them than we do,
if they can imagine any form. of annexation whatever,
that the United States could possibly agree to, which
would be acceptable to, or !Incepted by, the authors of
these commentaries."-

MONDAY, MARCH 31, Two P.M.—The Stock Market
still continues very much depressed, and prices without
any material alteratioa. Stonington fell off i per cent.; Long Island, i ; Reading Railroad went up
-1- ; Morris
Canal, 4 ; Mohawk, + ; while Norwick and Worcester,
Erie, Farmers' Loan, Pennsylvania Fives, Canton, Vicks-
burg, Ohio Sixes, and Indiana closed firm, at Satur-
day's prices. The transactions were very limited to-
day, and the prevailing opinion seems to be that prices
must continue to decline, until they come somewhere in
the vicinity of the value of the stocks.

,DVERTISEME NT.] BOTANIC W ATER AND BEAR
GREASE.—When the hair is becoming thin, and falling
off, the only effectual remedy, besides shaving the head,
is the use of the two above• named articles, applied al-
ternately—the botanic water to cleanse the roots from
scurf and as a stimulant, and the bear's grease as a
nourisher. If any further evidence was required of the
virtues of bear's grease for renovating and preserving
the hair, Mr. Catlin's account of the quantity used, and
the length of hair obtained by some of the North Ame-
rican Indians, would be a sufficient answer. Ross and
Sons, 119 and 120, Bishopsgate-street, who first intro-
duced the use of bear's grease in this country, and who
fat and kill the animals, recommend the public to pur-
chase none other but with their names and
.address
printed on the pot, or the chances are their obtaminga
i spurou
s article. All vegetable oils applied to the hair
are worse than useless.
