THEOLOGICAL EXCITEMENT The lectures OF Dr
Pise at the elegant church dedicated to st. Peter,
have created quite theological excitement in this
city. Last night the church was densely crowded,
and probably one-third of the audience consisted
of Protestants of various denominations. This has
been chiefly owing TO the interest excited by the
publication Of DR. Pse's first lecture in this journal
The Doctor continued, in last nights lecture, the
argument in defence of the dogma OF praying to
the Saints. We have full report Of the lecture.
and as it is curious, shall give it in to-morrow's
paper at length, accompanying it with some re-
marks on this really interesting subject.
The conduct OF the audience was in general ex-
empary and proper IN the highest degree, but we
noticed a few instances of levitv which was ex-
ceedngly unbecomng. One individual we partcu-
larry noticed, Broadway lounger, with very
pIebeian face and "brass barnacles," and accom-
panied by gddy young female, who con-

The TEXAS QUESTION IN TExAs.-We publish
ed yesterday in an abstract OF recent news from
Texas, very important statement relative to the
relations between Mexico and Texas. It appears
that Santa Anna has written to President Houston
stating the willingness Of the Mexican Government
TO recognize the Independence OF Texas, provided
the latter remains independent, ,and avoids any con
nexion with the United States Ii is highly proba
BILE that this proposal is the result oi Tovementpro
duced by the joint influence OF England and France,
in reference to this question. England and France
are both undoubtedly opposed to annexation, al
various indications OF their sentiments, expressed
both in the public journals and in the course OF
their diplomatic movements warrant US to believe.
We have no doubt that every effort will be
made in diplomatic way, both with Texas
and Mexico to prevent the annexation. The
news of the recent Presidential election will,
when it reaches England, stimulate the govern
ment Of that country to increased energy in the
work of defeating, if possible, the Of the
project of uniting Texas to this republic.
If, then, England and France can hold out suff-
cient inducements TO prevail on Texas remaining
separate and independent, there is at once en- end
of the question in this country. OF course, In
such case, il is OF no consequence what the Pre-
siden says, or Congress proposes, Texas herself
is induced to withdraw from the field.

started into existence within the last year or two,
and embraces much OF the youthful talent, energy
and patriotism of the green lsleis, it appears be-
coming little restive. OConne will, indeed,
find il difficult matter to keep these fiery allies in
the traces. HIS old dupes OF the Repeal Assecia-
tion are now getting into dsorganlzed state, and
it is Of small importance with what measure Of
success he humbugs them But with "Young Ire-

may, indeed, be destined to do something towards
