the deck Of the ship Strabunc, on the voy-
age from Calcutta to Britain, having a re-
gimenta button attached to his leg by a
piece of brass wire. From a reference to
the log Of the Mary Transport, on her

that from the time the bird was liberated
from that vessel, to the time il alghted on
the Strabane, it had flown no less than
1000 miles in ten days.

There is perhaps no other country on the
Globe to which the patriot and phianthro
p'st may look with feelings Of greater sat
isfaction, than to Ireland, at the present
time.
Not indeed, that she is enjoying any Pc
cuIiar blessings of good government, or
national prosperity; (for these, under her
circumstances, are out Of the quest;on)but
because she is rapidly ascending TO the We
ry pinnacle Of one of the most sublime
moral elevations that any people have ev-
er attained, and because the present aspect
of things indicate most powerfully that her
political regeneration is at hand.
Can it be believed that a people who
have effected such q triumph over them
selves; people possessing such an advo-
cate and such leader, to guide and gov
ern their moyoments-powerfuI, peaceful
and determined; people who are so sys-
fem"t!caIIy concentrating and combining

In the very bosom Of England, the ban

there are over 10000 regularly organized

From Teras.-The steamship New York ha
arrived at New Orleans, bringing Houston papers
10 the 18th Glr and Galveston to the Cd inst
they, however, add but little to the news pre-
viously received by the Neptune.
Referring to the agricultural productions of
the country, the Houston Telegraph says
1t is we'll known, that corn can generally be
purchased cheaper in the market Of New Orleans
than in New York; and if the trade with the
West Indies would be profitable, it is little
surprising that the merchants of New Orleans
have not already taken advantage Of it, and dri-
ven the New York merchants from the West
India markets. As they can trade with those
islands upon equal terms with regard 10 duties
as the northern merchants, they surely would
have the advantage in the facility OF commune
cation, the cheapness of corn and other produce,
and the cheapness Of freight. Whenever the
price OF corn in Texas, however, is less than at
New Orleans, there is no doubt that a profitable
trade in this article can be opened with the
West Indies.
The same paper intimates that large major
ity of members of both Houses of Congress are
in favor Of the annexation of Texas TO the United
States.
The Kentucky Colony, located high up the
Trinity, is in a tiourishing condition. " heat,
and every variety Of grain, grows well. They
arelerecting fine manufacturing mills, an advan-
tage that the small streams tributary to the Tri-
nifty in that region Of Texas admirably facilitate.
The German settlers in Austin and Colorado
counties are represented as in a fourishing con-
dition. They came to Texas in very necessitous
circumstances. They emigrated from five to ten
years ago.

have been much greater, but for the fact that

used throughout Europe, particularly by the French,
who, by their special attention to this disease are the
best qualified to judge Of their Importance and hav
ing been recently introduced into the city of New
York, their use is becoming very popular, and sue
ccssful they found invaluable for all chronic dis
eases of the urinary organs, especially for Gleet
any Chronic discharge of the Urcthra not connected
with Gonorrhea
The high Importance attached to these Pills, is,
from the fact that all the ingredients are vegetable,
and entirely destitute of all mercural preparation
and very agreeable and pleasant to the taste, well
as extremely convenient 10 take without exposure.
This composition having been examined and ap-
proved BY the first Physicians in the city Of New
