AMERICA.

The packet ship Queen of the West has brought oe
New York papers of the 21st ult., being five days later
than our previous advices. We find some important
news relatiye to the annexation of Texas question.
It seems that Mr. President Tyler has officially tol'
nounced to the American Senate, that he has ordered e
fleet into the Gulf of Mexico, and also a large body °f
.
troops to the borders of Texas. The National Intern-
gencer (Washington paper) states that it learns fro!? °
private but reliable source, that an understanding,
amounting to a stipulatzon, was had between the two SO;
vernments, previous to the signing of the treaty, O"
which was insisted upon as a sine qua non by Texas, r
which the executive of the United States bound this g°'
vernment to station on or near the Texas boundary line
force of something like a thousand infantry and
,several
hundred cavalry, and to maintain, in the Gulf of Merle°
a naval force superior to any naval force that Mexico big
at her disposition.
The announcement made to the Senate by the Pres,i;
dent seems to substantiate this statement, and it would
,
appear clear that Mr. Tyler regards the annexation
Texas as an actual commencement of hostilities agalesi
Mexico. The denunciations against Mr. President Tyler
by the press are somewhat significant. The New York
Courier demands his immediate impeachment.
The steam-ship Britannia reached Boston at an earlY
hour on Saturday morning, the 18th ult.
A late arrival of a vessel from Hayti, states that when
off Aux Cayes she was boarded by a Haytien schooner of
war and ordered to sea. She remained near the port
for seven days, and during that time heard constant firm(
on shore. The captain learned that the government 11,a
15,000 troops near Aux Cases, and daily expected 10,W1
more. That government had also obtained five brigs and
five schooners of war, whieh were cruising off the port to
cut off supplies.

quAiest..to the late riots in Philadelphia, all seems pretty

Railway shares seem to be all in all with our Ameri-
can friends just now.
Exchange on England was at ICBI to 109.

It will be seen from the advertisement, that the Great
Western steam-ship will take her departure from this port
for New York, on the 22nd inst. This being her first
trip for the season.

bill to raise that large amount had been hurried through
the local legislature in 24 hours, to the alarm of many of
the colonists, who bad resolved to petition the British
Parliament against it: The loan cantkot come into ope-
ration before her Majesty has approved of it.
ATTEMPTED THEFT FROM A VESSEL.—At the police-
court, a young man, named John Robinson, was charged
with having been found on Saturday in the forecastle of
the ship Norfolk, lying in the Prince's Dock,—when it
was found that he had forced open one of the seamen's
chests and had displaced a jacket and some other articles,
to the value of abut £3, with the evident view of carry-
ing them off. He was committed to the House of Cor-
rection for three months.

THE APPROACHING ASSIZES.—We published last
week the list of circuits chosen by the Judges for the en-
suing Assizes. In the ordinary course of events the Cir..
cuits might be expected to commence about the middle
of July or before; but the Lord Chancellor, after a rather
prolonged consultatbn with Sir James Graham, has coca'
municated to the Judges tbat it would be necessary to
postpone their Circuits as their Lordships' assistance
would be required in the hearing of the writ of error, 11l
the case of the Queen against O'Connell and others.
We perceive that in the 24th list of contributors to the
National Society's Fund for the establishment of Schools
in the manufacturing and mining districts, the congrega-
tion of St. Mark's Church, in this town, rave set a laud-
able example to the other churches, in having contri-
buted through the Rev. B. A. arshall, and Ref.
George Gibbon, the sum of £204 9s. 10d. We hoe
been requested to correct two errata in that list ;
Joseph Cooper is put down as having subscribed £1 ss.r
and Miss Crank £1 45., whereas the former generously'
gave £5, and the latter £4.

LONDON AND BIRMINGHAM AND GRAND JUNCTION
RAILWAY.—We are sorry that we cannot report-a ter-
mination of the misunderstanding between these Goards•
The proposal for an amalgamation made by Mr. GIYa
was, we are told, instantly directed by the Grandljune-
tion directors, on the ground that it was inequitable;
The Grand Junction company, they contended, paid, and
would continue to pay, 10 per cent. upon their entire
capital, whereas the Birmingham would henceforth not
be able to pay more than 8 • and, moreover, that the cow'
petition which the Grand function had already encoun-
tered was only just beginning with the Birmingham. In
the course of the week a memorial, strongly urging .83
amicable arrangement, was sent to tha Grand Junction
board, but it met with very little respect, probably be-
cause, as is alleged, it was signed exclusively by wag
having an interest in both companies. Why this should
detract from its value we are at a loss to discover."
BANK OF ENGLAND.—In Friday night's Gazette we
had the return of the aggregate average amount of pro-
missory notes payable on demand which were in circu-
lation in the United Kingdom for the four weeks ending
on the 25th ult. The following are the results, compared
with the return for the previous four weeks ending on the

£38,000; that of all the other banks of Ireland had de-
creased from £2,357,000 to £2,241,000, being a difference
£116,000, The aggregate amount of the circulation bf
the present return is £39,273,000, and by the previous 014
£39,585,000, being a diminution of 312,000, excluding
the fractions under 1000. The bullion in possession of the
Bank had diminished from £15,814,000 to £15,572,000,
being a difference of £212,000.
