2 FROM TEXAS.

The latest information, in any thing like an
authentic shape, that we have from Texas,
Is contained in the following extract from N.
Orleans, correspondence (under date of June
ElsD of the New York Courier;
"On the 18th ultimo, the Senate Of
Texas passed resolution authorizing
the President to send an agent to the
Court of Great Britain, to solicit a re-
#cognition Of the independence Of the
Pnfant Republic as a separate nation,
land to make the treaties Of peace, am
Pity, and commerce. $500 dollars were
voted for the salary and outfit of said a.
gent. I have anticipated this resolu-
zion in my communications to you, and
Enow have further to observe, that the
present policy of the Texian Govern

GREAT RIOT IN BOSTON.

The Boston papers of Monday furnish Us
with the following accounts of an alarming
riot and loss of life which occurred at Boston
on SUNDAY LAST:
From the Morning Post.
A terrible conflict commenced Yesterday
afternoon, about three o'clock, between En-
CINE Company No. 20 and very large Irish
funeral, procession in East street. There are
nearly as many rumors in circulation as to
the origin of the disturbance as there were
parties engaged in it. AS far as we could ar
rive at the facts, they appear to be as follows
No. 20, the Extinguisher, had lust return
ed from the fire at Roxbury and had their en-
CINE in the middle of the street in front of the
engine-house when the procession came down
the street. Some at the head of the process
sion ordered the engine to be removed from
the street, and the company refused to do so.
One engine-man was laid hold Of and pushed
aside. This was resented by his comrades {;
but, being outnumbered, they retreated into
their house. The procession then moved on.
The Extinguisher's men, in the mean time,
prepared to resent their defeat-rang their
own bell, and sent man to ring the Rev Mr.
Young's bell, as if for an alarm of fire.
This plan was Immediately successful in
calling out No. II, (Cataract,) which acct
dentally fell in with the procession at the
junction of Summer and Sea streets but, as
| the hearse was not in sight at this point, the
company were not apprized that the large
collection OF people they ran in among were
connected with a funeral. The Irishmen,
however, supposed that they came to renew
| the former conflict, and at once commenced
an attack on the men at the ropes
The company defended themselves
as well as thew could. and were soon
reinforced by Nos. 2, 6, 8, 8, 10, Is,
and 20, and struggling members of the
companies. The funeral was by this
time entirely broken up, and the Irish
men fell back into Broad street, where
they made stand. Bricks and stones
then began to fly and deadly wounds
were given. The Irish made numer-
Gus sallies, discharging their missiles,
but gradually gave way on the South.
As they gave ground, the dwellings, oc-
cupied by their couhtrytnen were at
tackled, and the windows and every
movable article demolished. There
is no reason whatever to believe that
the houses thus assailed were occupied
by the Irishmen who were engaged in
the affray.
This outrageous attack was chiefly
made by lads about Is and Is years Of
age. Feather beds were, ripped open,
and their contents poured out at the
windows, forming an exact imitation Of
snow storm. This work lasted up
wards oftwo hours, the Irish occasions
ally making Intellectual sallies in de-
fence of the houses. The Mayor was
early on the ground, and in one ofthe
sallies was knocked over. The militia.
ry were ordered out, but as the memA
bers Of the various companies were
naturally much dispersed, they could
not be formed till about six o clock, at
Faneuil Hall. -

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES.

A article has appeared in the New
fof4 Express holding out hopes that
assumption can be cured by surgical
ans. The Sun gives the following
.psynopsis ofthe article in question. The
surgeon who makes this communica-
tion,~ proposes to cure the consumption
any case where one of the LUNGS is
affected in the following manner: An
'ncislon is made between the ribs, and
an orifice opened to admit the air
into the chest outside of the diseased
iung--so that no air will be drawn into
THAT LUNG through the wind pipe at
oil. The lung will collapse, and re-
man perfectly quiescent, and in that
state can be cured by the efforts ofna-
ture alone, or ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS. AS
there is partition between the sides
OF the lungs, while one of them ceases
its action, the other goes on with its or
binary functions. The operation is
neither difficult nor painful, and may
be performed upon person in the last
stages OF consumption without danger,
as person in that state would bear tie
operation better than ore in robust
health. If this plan succeeds, it will
be the most important discovery in the
art of healing, in modern times.
PENNSYLVANIA CoNvENTIoN.--It
has been ascertained by votes taken in
the Convention now assembled for the
smendment of the Constitution of
T+ lsylvania, MISUNDERSTANDING the
Nole strength of the Van Buren, party
was moved to procure a force strong

States lank; there are not twenty
memberswho advocate either the ex-
pediencyor constitutionality Of that or
any simils measure. This fact, NOR
flying IN te highest degree, 70 Messrs.
Dallas, Q. SIngersoll, and others, who
staked thel1ll upon the success oftheir
projects, weelieve to be mainly at
tributable to Y withdrawal of General
jackson fromle head of our national
councils. Hidangerous power and

fear to listen to reason and duty, when
they conflict with the wishes of their

scatter his forces to the four winds. We

LEGISLATURE, OF VIRGINIA. !.

In compliance with the proclamation
of the Governor, the Legislature OF
Virginia met at Richmond on Monday.
On the same day the Governor sent in
his message. From the Baltimore
Chronicle we learn that che recon-
mends that bill be passed to relieve
the Virginia Banks from the penalties
and disabilities incurred by them, and
to authorize, for a limited period, the
suspension of specie payments. 'The
measure, he says, lis earnestly desir-
ed by large portion Of the communi-
ty it will have the effect of re-estab-
fishing confidence, and must sensibly
mitigate the severity of the times"
The project Of an Exclusive metal
lie circulation he believes to be wholly
impracticable, and says that the agita-
ton of it at this period, could have NO
other effect than still further to derange
the business, and Cypress every interest
in the community. He adds, II con-
slider it of the highest. Importance to
maintain the credit of the State Banks,
as forming, under proper regulations s.
reforms, the only practical substitute
for United States Bank-and their
preservation affords the only defence a.
gainst the dangerous scheme Of a pow
erful and over-shadowing national in
stitution.'
The "only practicable substitute of
his excellency has been tried and fail
ed.-The people are tired with sub5ji-
tutes, and want the original.
rive will publish the Message in our next
number.-ED. INT.l
After the reading of the Message Mr.. GAR
LAND offered the following resolution, which
was adopted
Resolved, That select joint committee be
appointed, withpower to send for persons and
papers, examine witnesses on oath, inquire
into the condition of the Banks of this Com
monwealth, and to take into consideration the
penalties and forfeitures incurred by said
Banks, in consequence of their suspension of
specie payments; with leave to report by bill
or otherwise.
Inc following genuemen constitute the
committee on the part of the House, viz /:
