The GREAT RACE NEXT MoNrH.-The great
match race between Fashion and Boston for S20,-
GOO a side, will come of on Tuesday the 10th Of
May, and not the 10Th as has been stated. This race
is to settle the great contest between the North and
South, and is creating more excitement in the
sporting circles than the celebrated race between
Eclipse and Henry. Two hundred thousand dollars
have already been staked by the friends of Boston
and Fashion. Is this the result of the hard times?

Introductory note, l would remark that no letter IN

ordinary man. Upon a careful perusal of this letter
you will find that it not only contains important IN
formation iDlrelation to a commercial voyage, but
develops the resources of a vigorous mind and a tho
rard, like Napoleon, conscious OF his own powers
and knowledge, marked out his ewn plans and in
s~tructions for others to follow. He left nothing to
the discretion OF his agents. The mlnutest detail

INFLUENCE OF THE HERALD Some of the polit-

the Herald is only twenty-five in this large city
that being the patriot vote at the last election. We'll,

twelve at least In the cause. When that holy patri-
arch undertook to reform Sodom and Gomorrah,
a I'd to save 1t from fire and birthstone, he could not,
after a long search, find ten just men or patriots in
both cities. We have brushed up twenty-five in
this modern Seldom and Gomorrah, which will help
to save New York a little while longer. We think
we have done wonders, besides what We mean to

Boz.-Boz was to have been at Louisville on
Thursday, the 18th inst. His route will be through
the Ohio Canal, taking to the water at Portsmouth,
then to Lake Erie, down to Buffalo, away to Niaga-

pic, to see the funny extravaganza he has got up
about Boz in New York. After having seen Nit
chell and his troupe, Boz will return to Cockneyland,
kiss his young Cockneys, write a book about the
United S~tates-praise the country and people moot
shockinely-and then be laughed at Tor a fool and a
fiat. Cut up and you are liked-lard only makes

News FxoM MExIso.-It appears by letters from
Matamoras and Tampico, published in the New
Orleans Bulletin, Of the 10th instant, that the Next
cans are preparing in good earnest for the invasion
of Texas. Vasques, the pillager of San Antonio de
Bexar, is TO be reinforced Immediately by Arista
with two thousand men, and then the Mexicans in
tend to do some mischief East of the Guadalupe,
if the Texans do not steal a march upon them.
The Lipan Iadians seem to annoy the Mex
leans very much. They are constantly attack
ing their troops, killing and wounding many of
them.
An outrage had been committed by the Collectors
of the Customs at Matamoras on the American
schooner Ceylon, of Bath. The officers and crew
were maltreated, %insulted, and robbed, and the YES
eel much injured. sThe American Consul had taken
the case in hand.
In the latter part of March, a Dntch brig from
Vera Cruz anchored at Matamoras with two cannon
and military stores for the army on that station. In
attempting to land one OF the cannon, the boat cap
sized, and, Of course, the great bull dog went down to
the bottom to rise no more. The Dutchman waited
some days for an opportunity to land the other can
non, but seeing SO prospect of doing so, he Lit his
pipe and made sail for Hamburg.
