The intelligence from the republic of Texas is of a disas-
trous nature. The small band of Texans, under Fisher,
being one-half of the whole army in the field, bad been cap-
tured by the Mexicans, and marched off to Mexico. In the
conflict, however, which led to this defeat, four hundred
Mexicans were said to have been killed, while only two

Texans were shot

It is stated that the obstacles in the way of the sailing of
the Texian men of war at New Orleans, have been removed
and they would be immediately removed to Campeachy.

The sales of cotton at New Orleans were on a very
scale, and very irregular, though the tendency of price was
downward. The average sale per day was 2600.

In addition to the splendid bequests of Miss -L. CatnPhell,
we learn from a eorresperndent that the parish of Campbel-
ton has been made Miss Campbell's reversionary legatee,
and will in consequence receive an additional sum of about
£30,000; so that the parish on the whole will be benefited
to the extent of very nearly forty-tire thousand pounds !—a
most magnificent bequest, which, under proper management,
will go far to keep poverty and ignorance at bay to the re
motest posterity.--Glasgow Courier.

ECONOMY IN PAYING DERTS.—An Oxonian borrowed
f a brother collegian, promising soon to re-
hem in some shape or other. " I should like to have
them hack as nearly as possible in the shape of two sove-
reigns," observed the lender ; " and I trust you will not for-
get the old adage—Us dat qui cito dat—be gives twice who
gives quickly." Then we are quits," cried the borrower—
instantly tossing back one of the sovereigns.—New Monthly

THE HINDOSTAN STEAM-SHIP. - This magnificent
steamer, it will be remembered, left Southampton on the
24th of September for Calcutta. We have great pleasure in
stating, that she arrived at Madras on the 20th of December,
having, including delays at the various intermediate ports of
call, made the passage in 87 days. The time she was under
steam was under 60 days, leaving 27 for stoppages and delays.
Under steam she averaged 200 miles per day. She had 110
passengers to the Mauritius, and landed at Point de Galle,
Ceylon. The Hindostan proceeded to Calcutta, whence.sbe
was to sail on the 14th of January for Suez.

LORD ELLENBOROUGII's PROCLAMATION.—The question
of the vote of censure on Lord Ellenborough will succeed the
debate on Lord Howick's motion, and it is on the conclusion
of the debate on the former vote that the Whigs calculate on
the best division of the session., Sir Robert Inglis has already
-declared in his place that nothing short of a vote of censure
will satisfy him. Other Conservatives agree in opinion with
the bon. baronet, but as yet no person can state with accu-
racy how many will vote with the opposition. Be the result
of the division what it wow, it is vv.:freely nnasihle_ with vo,i,

an expression of disapprobation as is sure to be elicited in the
course of the debate, that Lord Ellenborough can remain in
India. In 1835, during Sir Robert Peel's short administra-
tion, the Marquis of Londonderry was about to proceed to
Russia, as ambassador from the -English court. The ques-
tion of his appointment became matter of discussion in the
House of Commons (for there was no division on the subject),
and next day the noble Marquis, feeling that his usefulness
as a public servant would be impaired by reason of the dis-
cussion which had taken place, at once resigned his office ;
and Lord Ellenborough, doubtless, will follow the example
set him by Lord Londonderry in 1835. In the event of Lord
Ellenhorotigh's resignation or recal, it is rumoured that Sir
James Graham will be his successor.
