AMERICAN NEWS

EIGHT DAYS LATER from AMERICA
LIVERPOOL, SUNDAY.
By the arrival of the Garrick, Captain Skiddy, at
this port, from New York, whence she sailed on the Ist
inst., we have received papers to that date. The Gar-
rick has made a good voyage for the season, and had
ten passengers.
The news brought by these papers is not important.
The greatest anxiety prevailed at Boston and New York
for the safety of the Caledonia, whose non-arrival had
excited great fears amongst the community, as the more
recent arrivals from Europe, namely, the North Ame-
rica, Hibernia, and Roscius, all reported the prevalence
of very tempestuous weather. New York has also been
visited by one of the West India line of steamers, the
• Clyde, proceeding on her way from the south to Halifax.
She would take the mails to the latter place, and then
return ; and it was stated in some of the papers that
the Unicorn, which is one of the Cunard line, plying
between Pictou and Halifax, would take the mails to
England if the Caledonia did not arrive in time ; if this
is the case, she may be expected hourly.
We give the following extracts from the papers
Seine anxiety is felt for the safety of the steamer Caledonia.
The vessels that have arrived have experienced such severe
weather, and met with so mach damage, that it would be re-
markable if she should make a passage at this season without
injury. Several of our finest packets have been out upwards
of fifty days from Europe. A change of wind will, no doubt,
bring a fleet of inward-bound vessels to our shore.
A Bill is reported in the Virginia House of Delegates, fixing
resumption for the Ist of January next, unless the banks of
Mar) land and Pennsylvania shall resume earlier.
SIR CHARLES BAGOT AND THE CANADAS.-It appeaxs
by recent accounts from the Canadas, that the new Gover-
nor-General, Sir Charles Bagot, has already won golden
opinions from all parties, and that there is every reason to
believe that his Government will be permitted to be carried
on without meeting those obstacles which were so annoying
to his predecessors, and so ruinous to the best interests of
the inhabitants. The Canadian papers are filled with ad-
dresses to his Excellency, and promises of support: whilst he
has, by the prudence of his answers, left no room for either
party to believe that they have triumphed over the other—
although he has not concealed his determination to check any
attempt at opposition to his measures. In the meantime he
has announced it to be his intention to commence a number of
public improvements as early as the season will permit, which,
in addition to the permanent benefitthey will confer on the pro-
vinces, will furnish the means of giving immediate employment
to the immense number of emigrants who are expected to
arrive as neon as the navigation of the St. Lawrence opens.
We also observe, that the entire military establishment, in-
cluding the cavalry and infantry of the line, with the local
militia of every description, are to be Maintained on their pre.
sent establishment; consequently, when so great an expenditure
of public money be taken into consideration, combined with
the estimated amount of the proposed improvements, it is but
reasonable to infer that the Canadian farmers will have the
benefit of an excellent market for'the produce of theirlindustry.

TEXAS.
By the steam-ship New York, at New Orleans, the Picayune
has Galveston papers to the Ist instant. From these we glean
that Commodore Moore of the Texian service has not been
treacherously seized and made a prisoner in Yucatan, as was
confidently reported, though his Lieutenant, alarmed at his
prolonged absence at Alerida, had seized the Mexican Com-
missioners, and detained them as hostages for his safety. He
soon after received a letter from Commodore Moore, instructing
him to release them, and saying that he would be back in a day
or two. Among the Commissioners were Generals Lemas and
Anava, hitherto esteemed the most honest of Mexican Fede-
ralists. The complete reunion of Yucatan and Alexleo is con-
firmed.

The Texian prisoners under Colonel Cook have been heard
from at Fresmilo and Zacatecas, en their way to Mexico. At
the former 400 dol., at the latter 1,000 dol. were subscribed
for them, and much clothing contributed. They appear to be
well treated, according to the orders of the Government.
The war fever is getting up in Texas. A great war meet-
ing was held at Houston on the 28th ult., and a war paper,
7he Alarm-Bell of the West, has been started at San Antonio.
It is said that the hostile Indians who lately infested the
country on the Upper Trinity are entiiely dispersed.
FROM FLORIDA.—The United States steamer Newbern,
Capt. McNulty, arrived yesterday from Florida. We received
no letters, but learn from Capt. McN. that Companies " A"
and " H" of the Bth Infantry, under the command of Capt.
Ginn, on their march from Tampa to Palatka, were fired on
while in the Wahoo Swamp, on the morning of the 13th inst.
One sergeant was killed, and one private dangerously wounded.
On the 16th inst. three Indians tried to cut off an Express
Rider in the Cabbage Hammock, between Forts Wheelock and
Russell. They were, howeier, unsuccessful. Companies
" A" and " E" of the Bth Infantry, arrived at Palatka on the
16th inst.— Savannah Republican, Feb. 19.
NEW ORLEANS, FEB. 12.,--MUTINY ON .POiRD THE
TEX IA N SCHOONER OF WA R SAN ANTONIA.---Bel een nine
and ten o'clock last evening a mutiny broke out on board of the
above-named vessel, lying off Slaughterhouse Point, below
this city, which resulted in the murder of Lieut. Fuller, and
the severely wounding of Midshipmen Odom and Allen. From
what we can learn, the sailors had been chinking, and took it
into their heads to go ashore, but were prevented from so, doing
by Lieut. Fuller, who was on duty. '1 hey then used very in-
sulting language to him, when he ordered up a tile of marinas
to arrest them. The marines sided with the sailors, and dis-
charged their pieces at the officers on deck—five balls taking
effect on Fuller. The mutineers then took to the boats, and
part of them landed on this side of the river. Up to 12 o'clock
they had not been arrested.— Creslent City.

think that if the Horse Guards would be more communicative
with the Admiralty, in all cases regarding the movement of
troops, much good would result; this depot will have had a
march of four days at least in miserable weather, when a
steamer could have taken them to Brighton Pier in five hours;
and as no man-of-war steamer was at hand, we do think a pri-
vate steamer would have conveyed them for the marching money.

DUBLIN, MARCIE 15.—The particulars of a most
atrocious assault, committed upon a lady of respectability last
Saturday, have not as yet generally transpired through the
press, lest their publication might tend to defeat the arrest
of the accused, against whom a warrant has issued. It ap-
pears that Mr. C—l, an attorney, hitherto holding a highly
respectable rank in the profession, and the son of an eminent
merchant, has been for some time past lavish of bis p -ofes•
sional favours upon Mr. C , a barrister, living in one of
our most fashionable streets, bringing him deeds, decla. ations,
and other documents in the way of his profession, with the
quiddasn honorarium in every case. The lawyer's profes-
sional friends were naturally jealous at not getting a share
of the attorney's business, but the greatest intimacy pre-
vailed between them, to which these marks of favour
were naturally attributed. All went on smoothly until
Saturday, when the attorney called upon his friend the
lawyer, wishing to see him, but being particularly en-
gaged, he was denied. The attorney asked to see the
mistress, and was at once admitted to the parlour, where the
lady sat. The usual warm and friendly salutations passed, but
he had not been long in conversation when he commenced the
most fervent expressions of admiration for the lady, protested
that it was to gain her love he had so patronised her husband,
then seized her by the waist, and proceeded to the most rude
and infamous measures. The lady screamed violently, ran to
the sideboard, and seized a knife to defend herself. The hus-
band and servants ran, attracted by the screaming, and in the
consequent struggle ai,d scuffle the husband fell, taking advan-
tage of which Latitat contrived to escape. One of the city
Magistrates was sent for; he took the lady's informations, at
once issued a warrant for the delinquent, and placed it in the
hands of a confidential constable, but as yet lie has not been
able to make the fellow amenable. The affair, in the circle
where it has transpired, has caused the utmost astonishment as
well as indignation.—Letter in the Post.
The ilioniteur Parisien states that a person named
Brignola issued circulars some time since, stating that four
schools for forming young sailors were about to be opened at
Havre, Nantes, St. Malo, and Dunkirk; that the plan had
been approved of by three of the Ministers, and was under the
patronage of several persons of respectability, whose names
were quoted. On the payment of 300 f. ready money, bsys
were to be admitted into these shools, from the age of 12 to
21 ; and in consequence of this, a certain number of boys
were confided to the care of the person in question. Instead
of their being sent to the towns mentioned above, they were
retained at Paris, and kept in a sort of barrack, under mili-
tary regime, in the rue Jean-Goujon. " The Prefect of Po-
police," this paper adds, " on being informed of the existence
of this establishment, made inquiries, and found that Brignola
had not received any Ministerial sanction ; that the pretended
naval school was in fact only a primary school, without any of
the guarantees of morality and capacity required by the law.
About thirty boys were found in it badly clothed, armed in a
grotesque manner, some with swords, some with pikos, and
others with boarding-axes, who were going through naval exer-
cises and manmuvres in a room, called' The Ship,' in which
several pieces at artillery, no longer serviceable, were placed.
The arms and papers discovered in the establishment have been
seized, and Brignola has heen placed in the hands of justice."
A few days since, at a late hour in the evening, a well-
dressed man entered the shop of Mlles. Roche, mercers and
milliners, in the Rue Saint Denis, and having put questions
which satisfied him there was nobody there but the younger
sister and two workwomen, he drew a dagger, and threatened
to murder them if they did not give him all the money they
had. For a moment they were all panic struck, but one of them
soon recovered her presence:of mind, drew the others through
the back shop, and thence by a aide door into the court-yard of
the house, and called for assistance. The place was almost im-
mediately surrounded, but the thief had as promptly made his
retreat, and could not be traced.
The two men who made ;the attempt to rob the
widow Boulanger, Beau-Marnis, near Calais, in the night of
the 20th of November, against which she defended herself with
so much heroism and success, were brought to trial on the 10th
inst. at Saint Omer. The old woman appeared in Court, and
gave her evidence with distinctness. It was corroborated by
other circumstances, and the jury declared both prisoners guilty.
They were uccordingly sentenced to hard labour at the hulks
for twenty years, and to stand on the pillory in the market
place at Calais.
Mlle. Capdeville, of the Opera Comique, who was
married 16 months back to M. Le Borne, applied on Tuesday
to the Tribunal de Premiere Instance, for permission to be al-
lowed to give proofs of serious injuries inflicted on her by her
husband, with a view to obtain a separation. The Court, after
hearing counsel oe the other side, rejected the application.
DISGRACEFUL CONDUCT.—On Saturday eleven men
were brought before Mr. Jeremy, the sitting Magistrate at
Greenwich, charged by the Governor of the Greenwich Union
with wilfully exposing their persons by destroying their own
clothes in the vagrant pauper ward at the workhouse. The
prisoners were received the previous night for a temporary
lodging, as casual poor passing through the town. The fol-
lowing morning, upon the Governor going into their ward, he
found the whole of them naked, having torn the clothes they
had on into perfect rags. Mr. Jeremy said the law had not
provided a punishment for such conduct. The prisoners had a
right to destroy their own property, and, as regarded the in.
decency of the act, it was not a public exposure. He advised
the Governor to confer with the Poor-law Commissioners, who
would consult the Secretary of State upon the matter. The
relieving officer said he feared before a remedy could be applied
the Union would be put to great expense, as he had ten,
twelve, Or fourteen applications of a day. The prisoners left
the Court delighted with the decision.
ARSON AT CARLISLE.—A lengthened investigation
took place before the Magistrates on the 16th inst., respecting
the fire which broke out in the Angel, English-street, on Sa-
turday, the 12th, when Mrs. Christopherson the landlady, her
daughter a girl of fourteen years of age, and a servant-girl
named Blayloek, who made some strange disclosures, were all
csimmitted to take their trial for arson.
A letter from Cherbourg states that six vessels
were driven ashore on that coast during the late storm, and
several houses were much injured. Considerable devastations
were also cause t in the surrounding country.
The Pope has conferred the Order of Gregory the
Great upon M. Charles Lucas, Member of the Institute, in
testimony of the satisfaction of his Holiness at the labour of M.
Lucas in promotion of the penitentiary system.
The Emancipation of Toulouse has been condemned
to a fine of 500 f. for not having made the formal declaration
of its having changed the days of its publication. This was by
the Correctional Tribunal of Toulouse, but the responsible
Editor and chief Editor of the journal were also cited before
the Court of Assizes a the Haute Garonne, on the Ilth inst.,
and sentenced by default to two years' imprisonment, and a
fine of 2,000 f., for inserting several seditious articles.
rc he consecration of the new Bishop of Viviers was
performed at Marseilles, on the II th inst., in the church of
Saint-Cannat, by the Bishop of Marseilles, the Archbishop of
Aix, the Bishops if Valance, Ajaccio, Mahon, and Babylone,
and many other dignitaries. The ceremony was witnessed by
an immense congregation, among whom were General Sebes-
tiani, Commander of the Bth Military Division, and M. de la
Costs, Prefect of the department.
