A new and beautiful steamboat called the
Shark, has recently been built in this city for
O. Mauran, Esq. She is upward f30O tons
burthen, $50 feet in length, and finished and
furnished in the most splendid style. She
has been built under the superintendent Of
Cornelius Vanderbilt, esq. and from the trials
that have been made, she is believed to be
one of the fastest boats ever built. We un-
derstand Mr.. Mauran sails in her shortly for
Havana, where he proposes to establish her
as a regular packet between Havana and New
Orleans, and if possible form a regular line
from Charleston to Havana, which with the
present line to Charls ston, would form one
regular communication from this port to New
Orleans. Such an undertaking deserves pa.
tronage, as it would be of great public utility
and dimportancc.-.N Y. Com.

Elliot countcnances this slandcrous attack

 Dear Ffiena-When say you last, promised you line, hur conellld not 10 wllie until my return from SanIa Fe, which was yesterday. Jeff hone on the l0th ut. May last, and had very pleasant tfip. Nothing happened to impede the progress of the traders, or to discourage them, though we met with many of the Cunanches and Asapehnes. They were all able 10 shew US papers of treaty and anily with the Ame- rcans, and all eyinced he greales, friend shtP towards ns. On our return, the Gu manches, unmxed with any other nation, came to us, and were entirely friendly.
 The prospects of the traders were dark ened and ther ailhirs confused when they arrived at Red River, he Caaadian, ID miles from Taos where they met the Mex lcan troops. We found that tlere was a new order of things in fine couniry-a Gov Iernor from Old Mpxco-new Custom House tii.ers-new hands al the bellows oa every Side-more soldiers than common --and 10 adl to these mortiticatinna, Santi- ago Abreu had been made District .fud0e. and he too had come ont. He said that wa had been deirauding the Government ever since the trade commenced -and that he now intended to bring things To righ.s. The Governor, the Custom House officers, and the soldiers, said they would support hIm-and the traders had litlle to say. However We appointed committee to meet and propose measures 10 them-hnt he an- swef Was, that they would have the lall aud lawful duty. which We had ascerfajned would be Sz00,oGe. They eventually of. tered to take SIS0.000 and seeing ,hat they had varied from iher first deeralina- ton, the committee offered them $50 900. and no more. They refused 10 take 1t. and we turned our wagons fer Missouri, came twelve miles back, and eneamped tar the purpose oi sending to Taos for provisions lar the road home and they sent an officer and 75 soldiers 10 watch us. On he ninth day of our stay there We had obtained pro- visions for the trip, and on the tenth day were invited III ofs our o,On terms, and again struck T march for Santa Fe. On arriyinr ffhhefe, ue found the country wretchedly poor The Apaches and Nabajos had oserrun the country Taken as much stock IS they wanted driven the people from theT mnes--and killed as many of thesa as

The New Workers have been making the experiment in which tas Cincinnatans are about to imitate them, of owing their streets with blocks of wood set upright. The expo riment works well in New York, and is con- sidered preferable to stone paving. The blocks used there arp Of hemloek. Would 1t not be worth while for our new Mayor and Aldermen to institute au inquiry into the e2- pediency of paving our streets in this way! Cypress blocks, sawed into proper lengths, might bs obtained in great abundance, and cheap.

 By the kindness of James Clark and 3. c. F1ou,er, Esqrs. we have been fa7orod with some late news from Texas, which VIC hasten to lay bsf3re our readofs. The following is an extract ffoa1 tic letter of the former gen tleman:
 "Dear Believing that every thing which is going OH Ill Texas, will be of some interest to you, l take the liberty to give you what is understood 10 be the latest news from that country. Our last ae- counts, by persons directly from the seat of war, represen: that country as in confusion. The Americans had attacked Il party of Mexicans and Indians, and killed Siafq- ihree, without losing man. There has been an election for members to form a Convention, and the general impression is, that Texas will declare herself independent. In that case there is q strong probability that all the Indians in the country will be found OH the side of the Mexieans. know that they have been for some weeks sending their women and children out of the country, as q number of them have pas sed through this county, (Miler.)
 Mir. Robins, a citizen of this county, has just returned from Nacogdoches, and un- derStand, corro5nrates the above news. His brother. understand, is one Of the members elected 10 the Convention.
 shonld the Indians join the Mexicans, will not this county be much exposed, Us we are living as near, or nearer, to the In. dianS, than the people on the other side of the Sabine; and will the Indians make any difference betweenan American on the east or west siie of that rieeR Should mi our Governor, ia jnsliee 10 this frontier, order company of rangers to guard he back set dement's"
 Me have received from the latter gentle nan tae Cirealar of the Committee of safety, for which We have not room at present.
 From the Red Riper Haai3, (Naehito- ches, of Oct. %, wo laarn that Don Lor5n- 70 de Zavala and s. r. Aastin are in com m1nd of the army. It is supposed that the armed force of Texas now numbers 250, men-which, we safly aver, is enough to whip all Mexico. Grants of land are offered l to volunteers.

THE GUILLOTINE.

The Frenchman's story is one of thrilling inter-
est, and admirably told. 1t is of the revolution and
its horrors. One passage will speak for the rest.
The scene is the Place de Greve, where the gulo-
tine erected in permanence with n wagOn load
Of human beings about to be massacred.
Among these, the most remarkable was a vener-
able old man, whose bent figure, thin white hair,
high wrinkled forehead, and withered complexion,
bespoke the extremity of age, yet his manner
firm, and he never forgot for moment the calm
proprety of his demeanor BY his side stood
woman, now no longer young, but retaining, much
of the beauty, and all the dgnfied elegance, of
lier days. She stood erect, and supported without
effort the OF the old man. who leaned heavily
hers. The other had rested on the neck of fair
young girl--a mere chd-not apparently more
than ten years old, whose tear-swolen eye were
fixed on her mothers face with the sad and touch
ing melancholy of childish grief They spoke not
much together. Once, as the Wagon stopped near
where | stood, | heard the old man murmur some
words of patience and encouragement TO his com
panion as he spoke, she turned her eye towards
the child--she gazed on that fair young face, and
all n mothers love beamed in her eye-the trial was
almost too great for her--her lip quIvered-her
face grew more deadly pale-but IN a moment, by
a strong effort, she banished from her look every
appearance of weakness. She raised her eyes to
heaven-her lips moved-dnd then as If her prayer
for foriitude had been instantly answered, she

smoothed back the curling hair that clustered round
that lovely forehead, and the mother imprinted one
long fond kiss the brow of her child. The
