"LATEST FROM AMERICA.
We have received New York papers to the 15th
January. The Bill for the annexation of Texas was
still in Committee in Congress. The contents of the
papers are unimportant.

TILE EARL OF MORNINGTON.—We feel much
pleasure in stating that the Noble Earl has rallied a
little since Friday. His Lordship's physicians were
in attendance early on Saturday. The reply to in-
quiries was, " His Lordship has passed a tolerably
good night, and is rather better to-day." The calls
of the nobility in Grosveaor•square on Saturday
were unusually numerous.

Mr. Mark Boyd and Mr. Samuel Browning, from
Australia, had an interview on Saturday with Mr.
Lefevre at the Board of Trade.

There is reason to believe that the reports of the
experimental trial of the screw propeller on board the
Great Britain are so satisfactory to the Admiralty, that
all steam-vessels to be constructed for the Royal Navy
in future, will be propelled on that principle instead of
the unsightly paddle wheels.—Hampshire Independent.
We understand that Mr. Cobden, with a deputa-
tion of the League, have pledged themselves to visit
Exeter next month, at which time the testimonial to Mr.
R. R. Moore will be presented.— Western Times, Jan. 31.
We are sorry to find, by the letter of our Dublin
correspondent, that a resolution has been passed by the
Committee of the Repeal Association, calling upon the
Irish Members not to attend their places in the next
session of Parliament.—Morning Paper.
The Lords Commissioners of her Majesty's Trea-
sury having communicated with the Board of Trade on
The subject of the admission of oil scraps at the tallow
greaves duty, and the Lords of the Committee for Trade
having stated that oil scraps are not available for any
other purpose than the manufacture of prussiate of
potash, therefore recommended that the article should be
admitted at the same duty as dog greaves. '['heir Lord-
ships have approved thereof, and have authorised the
Commissioners of the Customs to give the necessary
directions to the officers of the revenue to govern them-
, selves in future accordingly.
ASHBURTON.—A MODERN WONDER.—One of the
most extraordinary prodigies of railroad and printing
dispatch has taken place this week that has ever been
recorded from this town, viz., the working men's ad•
dress to Mr. Matheson, relative to the silver snuff-box,
together with Mr. M.'s answer, were sent off from the
post-office here at half-past six o'clock on Sunday even-
ing last for insertion in the daily Sun, London news-
paper, and, wonderful to relate, on Tuesday morning,
about seven o'clock, both documents, and a highly inte-
resting loading and appropriate article appeared in that
journal, and arrived here, thus having traversed upwards
of 400 miles, in addition to the process of composing,
printing, &c.-IVe9Sern Times.
DEATII or THE MARQUIS OF SLIGO.—The Dublin
Evening Pos., announces the death of the Marquis of
Sligo, an account of which reached Dublin on Thursday

der the Whigs filled the high office of Governor-General
of Jamaica. He was Lord Lieutenant of the county of
Mayo, and Colonel of the South Mayo Militia. He was
a British Peer, and sat in Parliament as Baron Montea-
gle. The Noble Marquis has left a numerou- family
behind him, and is succeeded in his titles and honours
by George John Browne, Earl of Altamont, now Mar-
quis of Sligo, born on May 31, 1820.

ther member of the Board, previously to entering on his

state, is recovering from his late severe indisposition.
