The Western Express Mail between

The Western Express Mail between
Washington and Cincinnati commenced
running on the first of this month. 1t
is very justly pronounced by some OF
our contemporaries to be of even more
doubtful utility than that on the sea-
board. The Wheeling Gazette con.
tains the following notice of it:
The mail that left Washington on
the LIST, arrived here at l A. NJ. on the
Sd. The contractors will perform their
duty to the letter but Amos will find
it the most expensive brat he ever nur-
sed. IL aoiH not pay for The horse shoes. "

Notwithstanding to the last ac-
counts received from this republic, the
panic was also severity felt there. "A
bin PASSED the Senate to stay execu'
lions until the next session Of Congress,
but il is not said whether it also passed
in the House of Representatives..
The invasion OF the Mexican terrific
nv wns warmly discussed in secret
session of Congress, and it was decided
10 postpone it to the next fall. The con-
teinplated movement should been un-
dcrtaken when Montezuma took the
field, and 1900 Texans would then
have without the least difficulty taken
Matamoras, but there is a want ofener-
gy and concert in the Texan cabinet.
One Of the New Orleans papers in.
serted the day before yesterday a let
ter Of 4 Terian against President
Houston. The writer wanted proba-
bly, some situation in the government
Of the infant republic, and was disap-
pointed, as many other candidates have
been, aud in revenge he tried to de-
prive General Houston OF his laurcls at
Saint Jacinto. Talking last evening
on the matter with respectable Text
an, he told me in most candid style
- | assure YOU, sir, am not an admit
rer of President Houston, but consider
ing the self indepedent, high-splrlted
and rowing population, of Texas, he is
the proper man to keep order and peace
in that country. He is as obstinate and
arbitrary as old Jackson, and knows
how TO make himself obeyed by the nu-
merous rascaIs that have fed to Texas;
no handles we'll a rifle and pistol, can
fight even with white bear, smoke
segar, chews tobacco, and drinks ju-
lep as frequently as any man in the
country.

Of duty required by law, was arrested

The integrity of the State must be

My feet have strayed through other lands.
Across the hearing sea;
Unbound, unchain'd by earthly bands.
ive wandered far and free.
Midst desert plain or hall OF pride,
Where'er my footsteps roam,
My lonely heart hath ever sighed
For home, and only home.
1t was my temple, pure and high,
Where had reared a shrine
vi early dreams-by memory
Held sacred and divine.
And there, enshrined in thoughts that burned
Mine idol dwelt alone,
what marvel that my spirit ycarned
For homeland only home!
oh! many an eye dashed on me bright.
And fair eachsradiant smile:
saw the wealth-the beam-the light.

From fashionable Society and Fan,ilies In
Italy,
A ROMANTIC AND SINGULAR
STORY

During the last winter, many blooming
English beauties graced the salons OF the
Duchess Toronia, among whom the UNI
versal vote gave the first place to the very
beautiful and not less accomplished Prin-
cess SuImona, daughter of the Earl OF
Shrewsbury, and wife of Don Marc Anto-
MO Borghese, Prince Of Sulmona, the en-
We'd husband Of the finest woman in Rome.
Lord Stuart Roihsay's lovely daughter also
excited universal admiration. But the list
of beauty is too long, and | shall content
myself with abiding to one more likely
soon to rank among the Roman DANES,
Miss, whom her large fortune, IN
teresting appearance, and marked and well
received attentions Of Noble Roman
Duke, rendered subject Of universal con
versation in the Roman and English cir
cles. The story of her admircr, the Duke
Off,, is as interesting and as marvci-
lous as ever was that of any hero OF ro-
nance. He i, all the world I mean to
cav Roman world knows, descended from
the celebrated SfDrzas Duke, ol Milan; but
IS IN the fashionable world still more re-
markable Is the son Of the late Duchess q
-, SO celebrated for her beauty and
caprices, which last hare entailed 50 much

that ibis noble lady and her hl.s nd were
