Eastern Travel,


The perfection of American travel yet attained
is that on the Railroads of New England We
looked in on Down East the other day, leaving
this City at 4 ?. NJ. and reaching Boston at s
the next morning, though the night was the cold
est of the season and the progress Of the train
greatly impeded by the hard frost. Those who
pleased went to sleep IN good bcrths on the boat
at s P. NJ, were called up in passing Newton
don at | A. H., landed al Gales Ferry at 2, took
cars and passed Norwich about 3 were in Wor
cester before 6, and in Boston about a. M
having had good sleep and WARM, quiet ride
throughout, though the windows of the cars were
sheetcd with frost and the mercury some degrees
below zero. Returning, we left Boston at 4,
passed Worcester at 6, Norwich at half past 5;
were on board and at supper by half past Q; had
a good nights rest, and were landed at Pier No.
| about A. NJ. IN the teeth OF one of the Sc
vercst North -Westcrs of the scason.-Ihe Rail
road Train on this route is under the care OF All
admirable conductor, and we defy any country to
produce better behaving boat than the New
Haven or better commander than Capt. Dus-
tan. The eight miles extension Of the Norwich
and Worcester Road from Norwich to Gales
Ferry has added immensely to the comforts of
this route III winter, and we cannot see how it
could be farther improyed,-By the way, what
horrid moaOp0tles these Railroads are, carving
passengers IN comfort IN third Of the time and
at one half the expense Of former years. No
wonder the enlightened Loco -Focoism Of New
Hamns hire rcDudlatrS them entirely
TEXAS.-The New Orleans papers give the latest

France and the United States, touching the inde-
pendence OF Texas as nation, and her affairs with
Mexico. This refusal had created great excitement,

The Houston Telegraph contains an article on

II is impossible to describe the intense interes,
which was awakened by the words, Coirin has
come" Men rushed in from all quarters to
catch sight of a man who came among them az
one alive from the dead. They could scarcely
believe their senses, till Colvin called many OF
them by name. So large and dense was the
crowd, that many could not get look at him.
Guns were fired; and the people ran to the
neighboring villages and towns to carry the
news. The prison doors were unbolted, the
chains were taken from Stephens arms, when
he was allowed to meet Colvin. The mutual
surprise and joy may be partly but not fully
conceived.
Soon after, the Boorns were set at liberty,
and returned to live with their families, having
been rescued, the one from a felon's ignomini-
Gus death, and the other from perpetual impri-
sonment, in the remarkable manner in which
we have shown,
