Recognition Of 7tniaa Independence By Eng
land--Ihc consequent defeat Of annexation and
loss to The United States Of the commerce Of this
youag bit gro,cing RepubHc.-We have been
favored with the perusal of a letter from London,
dated the 18th day Of February last, which affords
much information iii regard to the subjects which
head this article. We would premise that the
writer Of the letter had every opportunity OF cor
rect information, and that whatever nc says is en-
titled to the most implicit confidence. :. I.
It is stated that the most friendly dispositions
were evinced by the British Government towards
Texas That the delay in recognizing has re-
suited mainly from the outbreaking Of the Cana
dian revolution. Another cause assigned for the
DELAY. was the expectation that Mexico would
have invaded Texas during the past winter--the
Government believing that if ever an invasion was
attempted, it would be at that time or never.

murder took place at Cincinnati on the 18th
ult., which cries out in voice OF thunder against
the police of that city. The poor victim was
named McDonald; and though circumstantal evil
dence proves that the bloody deed was committed
between 10 and IL on the night previous, and
tbat his cries of .murder," 'help," &c. were
heard at intervals for nearly six hours, neither
c;,;zen nor watchman went to his aid.

important Decision.-A question of great i'm
portance camp up yesterday before the Circuit
Court Of the United States, now sitting in this
city, and was decided by the Court, Judge Nc
Kinley, of the Supreme Court of the United
States presiding. The Carrolton Bank, bank
ire company chartered in Louisiana, purchased
in Mobile, through an agent, bill of Exchange,
which being unpaid, the Bank brought an action
against one of the parties of the bill
The Court decided that Bank Corporation o.
another State could not make a contract in this
State, for want of capacity TO contract and there
fore, that the Bank could not recover on the bill
The case will go up, we understand, to the Su
preme Court of the United States, where thu
question will be settled.
The above decision has produced great excite
ment here, and is the subject of general converse
ton and alarm. Its ruinous consequences, if
be sustained, can scarcely be imagined. d.-Mobil
