! "EAACO.-H e nave already duHOuIICcd
the approaching departure of Senior Co.
roStlza, the Mexican envoy, from this coun~
try. In reference to this event, the New
York American states. on information
furnished " from pretty good source"
that the cause of Senior Gorostlza'S de-
parture is the refusal Of our government
to recall Gen. Gaines from Nacogdoches,
the part Of Mexico. If this account of the
matter be true, a war with Mexico may
probably supervenc, although we think it
little probable that the Mexican govern
mclt weak and impoverished as it is, will
be very ready to engage in strife with US.
Nevertheless it mag, and in view of that
possibility, the subjoined, remarks made
by the American are worth perpending.
The war, if commenced at all, will doubt
less be chiefly one of privateering, on the
Mexican side: and it may be we'll to
Speculate a little on the question, how
many cruizers of other nations will, for
the nonce, run up the Mexican flag
:" If this should provd to be true, we
shall be in great danger Of war with
Mexico, than which none could prove
more disastrous to our commerce. With
every thing at stake on our part, in every
sea, Mexico offers not vulnerable point
Her onl J weak part is Texas, now all but
an ally to the United States, and as for
commerce she has none, and pestilence
around her sea-coast secures her from in
vasion in that quarter.
In such a war, Mexico has every thing
! to gam and nothing to lose-the L. States
every thing to lose, and nothing to gain
not even glory.
STEAM COMMENTARIES WITH ENG
LAND.-We are told that new steam en-
CINE has been invented in this State, which
will require onl y one sixth as much coal
as those in use, and at the same time pos
sessrs equal power An intelligentfriend
who has some knowledg &c ofthis invention
expresses his entire confidence in its sue
cess Should the result equal lis expcc-
tations, the on y remaining obstacle of a
serious nature, to steam communication
with Eng land, and other Transatlantic coun-
tries, will be removed But be this as it
may, we have arrived very nearly to the
point of time, when the crossing ofthe At
Iantic by Steam, will be undertaken as a
regular business The year 1887 will
witness the attempt Steam ships for
this purpose are now building in New
York, Liverpool and Bristol. The rails
ing Of the stern frame Of the last mention
ed vessel, was deemed an event ofso great
importance in Bristol, that it was greeted
by salutes Of artillery and "three times
three cheers" from the multitude Of be-
holders. Her keel is to be longer than
that Of any steam vessel or ship of war
hitherto built in the United Kingdom, and
she is to be driven by power equal to
that Of 400 horses. 1.-THE Bristol dinner
on the occasion ust alluded to, Mr.. Guppy
said, 1--WE contemplate that the inter-
course between this port and New York,
between this Kingdom and America, BY
this vessel and others belonging to the
! Company, will be conducted IN a manner
never till the present time imagined to be
possible. Com.

cultivation IN our country, and lndepend-
ent ofthe millions of bales exported, it is
said that at least $4O,OOO,OOO is chiefly
invested in It's manufacture in some 800
factories in our own country. The in
ternal improvements which during the
same period have been effected through
oct the Union, exhibit alike the amazing
enterprise and growth of the United
States.
