FROM TEXAS

New Orleans papers of the 18th contain advices from
Galveston to the 12th. Great excitement prevailed on
account of the capture of the expedition, and the reported
cruel treatment of the prisoners.
An expedition for the hostile invasion of Mexico was ex-
pected to be got up on a large scale.
Intelligence had been received to the effect that the priso-
ners had reached the city of Mexico, and been kindly
treated by Santa Anna. This news was brought by the
French frigate Sabine, from Tampico. The Texans were
inclined to doubt it. ,
General Hamilton, the Texan minister at the court of
England, arrived at New Orleans on the 19th, on his way to
Houston. He came out by the way of Havana, in the mail
steam-ship Forth.

LIVERPOOL. CORN EXCHANGE,-THIS DAY

(From Messrs. R. MAKIN & SONS' Circular.)

Subsequentlk to Tuesday last, the arrivals of English and
Irish produce into this place have been generally unimpor-
tant ; but, having several foreign vessels in since Friday, we
have to note a liberal supply of Wheat and Flour from the
American States and the southern pOrts of Europe, which
will of course be withheld in bond for the present.
Our Corn Exchange this morning was moderately well
attended by local and country millers, who exercising more
than usual forbearance, Wheat of all descriptions met a slow
limited demand ; and holders being generally rather eager to
sell, a decline of Id. to 2d. per 701bs. was conceded for good
runs of English and Foreign, and the damp ordinary sorts of
Irish very unsaleable. Bonded Wheat also being nearly
without inquiry no actual sales transpired to-day.
Barrel Flour, duty paid, was in moderate request at late
prices, and the sale of 700 brls. of States, under lock, was
reported at 275. ; whilst in English or Irish very little busi-
ness was apparent.

Barley, Malt, Beans, and Peas continued to rule dull in
the extreme, and were nominally rather lower in value.

Oats, experiencing the same degree of languor as most
other articles of the trade, 'receded Id. per 451bs. ; and Oat-
meal, being nearly without inquiry, was offered with very
little effect, at an abatement of 6d. per 2401b5. from the
rates of this day se'nnight.

LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, 3 P.M

The demand for Cotton to-day has been exceedingly
as is generally the case on Tuesday's, yet the feeling
is not more discOuraging than yesterday. About 1,500 bales
have been sold at steady prices.

The King of Prussia has increased his annual donation of
10,000 thalers for the completion of the cathedral of Cologne,
to 5,000 thalers, about 200,000 fr.

The King of Prussia, on quitting the English shores,
grasped for some time the hand of the Duke of Wellington,
and shed tears !

SUSPICIOUS CHARACTER:AS the Rev. R. Mules was
sitting at home last Sunday evening, the whole of his family
beirig at church, he thought be heard some footsteps walking
aboiit the garden. On going out he saw a man, who came
up to him and presented him with a petition. The appear-
ancb of the man, and seeing two other men not very far off,
indhced Mr. Davies to call the police, to whom he was
hinided over. The man being well known, there is little
doubt he was contemplating a robbery, and it was very for-
tunhte that on this occasion, a thing which seldom occurs,
therev. gentleman was at home.
INQUEST.—Yesterday, an inquest was held before Henry
Heathcote Statham, Esq., deputy coroner for the borough,
on view of the body of a wothan named Ellen Davies. The
deceased lived in Charters-street, Vauxhall-road, and was
employed as a washerwoman, by a Mrs. Jones. On Thurs.
daY last she fell on the stairs, and being pregnant, she was
soon afterwards delivered; but was not attended by an ac-
coucheur. She was afterwards taken from an upper apart-
meht, tcra cellar tenanted by a neizhbour, where she died
on the following day—Friday. As it was conjectured that
her death was occasioned by injuries sustained by the fall,
the inquisition was held ; but it appeared from the evidence
of Mr. Cockburn, surgeon, that she died solely from disease
arising from natural causes ; and the jury returned a verdict
accordingly.

MISS STOTT'S CONCERT AT THE MIISIC-HALL.—on
Tupsday evening, this promising vocalist gave a concert, at
thd Music-hall, which was attended by a numerous and
fashionable audience. Mr. George Eyton presided at tho
orchestra, and the members of the Choral Society, under the
able direction of Mr. George Holden, contributed their va-
luible assistance. As a whole, the performances were very
creditable ; but especially so was the singing of Miss Stott
herself, Miss Leach, and Mr,, . Burnett. The beautiful
SciA was delightfully given bych air, "My heart is sair,
Mlss Stott, and was deservedly encored, as were also
Gently o'er my senses stealing; by Miss Leach, and
" Still so gently o'er me stealing, by Mr. Barnett. The
latter, indeed, and the song by Miss Stott, were the gems of
tho evening. We undestand that Miss Stott is about to
phice herself under the care of an eminent teacher; and from'
tbi great 'beauty of ber fine voice, addedto her pure taste
and knowledge of harmony, we predict that this young lady
is destined to become a distinguished ornament of her pro-
fession.
