Although there are fewer on the register this
year than the last, it does not follow that fewer
children have received instruction in the city,
To test this the aggregate of all in public district
and private schools should be compared with the
aggregate Of last year.
Under the new law $4,000 have been paid
out the City Treasury for the support ofschools

U Having had no mails from New Orleans
for some time, we take from the Louisville Jour.
nal, which seems more fortunate, the following
news:
LATER FROM TExAs.-We copy the following

The following extract we make from the Gal
weston Star, of a late date:
Commissioners to Nerico-Mr. Lindsay who
lately arrived at Washington from Bcxar reported
that several traders from the Rio Grande informed
him that II was currently reported in Mexico that
the negotiations between our Commissioners and
those Of Mexico had been broken off, and that the
object of the mission had entirely failed There is
probability that this is correct, for it is confirmed
in part by another report received by way of Corpus
Christi frcm Matamoras.
The Editor of the Houston Telegraph has re-
ceived the following intelligence from Bexar, the
trade of which cityis represented as very dull:
few traders have arrived from the Rio Grande
within the last six eight weeks but they brought
only few hundred dollars to purchase goods.
They confirmed the report circulated few weeks
since, that Agaton, the bandit who has long been a
terror TO the border settlers, was killed about three
months slnce while IN pursuit of party of traders
The Iexlan Democrat announces the arrival in
the country OF General Mercer distinguished ci,i-
zen OF Virginia. General Mercer is concerned in
some OF the recent contracts for colonization In |
Texas, proposes TO visit Germany so soon he con-
cludes the business which at present occupies him.
and will devote himself exclusively to the interests Of
the company.
Col. Lewis P. Cooke escaped from the custody of
the Sheriff at Bastrop, few days since, says the
Telegraph, and has not since been heard from.
