children are seldom free from them, and they

disease themselves but by their irritation aggravatc

body to another winding themselves into large balls

LATEST FROM TEXAS.

BY an arrival yesterday from Texas, we have
received files of Galveston papers to the 9th inst
inclusive. In regard to annexation, the Calves
ton Gazette expresses itself well satisfied at the
failure Of the project, and thinks the condition Of
Texas will be more happy and prosperous as an
independent nation.
A correspondent of the Matagorda Despatch
says that two attacks have already been made
upon Col. Kinney's Ranch at Corpus Christi !;
and that large body. of Camanches are within
twenty leagues of that place, from whom hostile
visit is expected; that the Government Of Mexico
has entered into treaty with those Indians, Civ
ing them blankets, ammunition, trinkets, &C., to
induce them to commit ravages on our frontier.

gagged in it on both sides exhibiting GOODNESS and

commodate two hundred scholars, and thslotwlI al

tage is ffty-four feet front by one hundred deep
Both the buildings are forty feet from the street. and
raised five feet above its level This is one of the
most beautiful and saubfOus spots in the city, situa
ted in the Northern Liberties, which for rapid inn
pr0vemcnt, activity, and enterprise Of its inhabitants
far exceeds any section in Washington. A few yards
to the south of it, on the same square, is situated the
Fourth Church, adjoining il on the north
an Episcopal Church will be erected this year. On
adjoining square is St. Patrick's Church. In the
immediate vicinity is that splendid the
Patent Office, containing the apartment ofthe Nations
al Institute, which has only been in operation few
years, and is not perhaps, surpassed by any nstitu
ton in the world considering the time it has been in
operation. a4
In fact it is hard to find an establishment of supe-
rior advantages to that which is here offered, and it
may be said with truth, that such one has never
been offered in this city, and perhaps will be.
The Academy might be changed into two beautiful
cottages at q moderate expense
