NIT, will be thrown, by the rejection OF
remuneration, into the possession OF
England; for, whether Texas does or
does not become British Colony, il
is certain that a treaty of reciprocal
lree-trade would secure to England
the monopoly other markets and com
merce- The cotton of Texas would
find market free of duty in England,
and her manufactures a market free of
duty in Texas; whilst discriminating
imports on our vessels and cargoes
would effectually exclude them from
her ports. Thus England would eff
fectually monopoize the commerce and
business Of Texas, and in her hafbors
would float the flag Of the English
mercantile marine, soon to be the pre-
cursor ofthe next step in the drama of
our disgrace and ruin; when the flag OF
England would aeat over a British
province, carved cut of the dismem-
bered valley ofthe West. But if this
result were not certain; if it were only
probable and contingent-is it not wise
and patriotic to arrest the danger and
remove all doubt by the sure preyea-
tive of e-annexation."

death of a Naval officer by yellow fe-

awe record with regret the death
of Acting Lieutenant H. f. Porter, of
the U. S. schooner Flirt, from Calves
ton, Texas, via Key West, just after
she anchored at quarantine, IN our har-
Dor on Saturday afternoon. He was
a son Of the late Commodore Porter,
and his disease was yellow fever
His remains were deposited in the CO.

day afternoon, the officers Of the NAVY
and Army on this station, and two
companies of U. S. Soldiers ATTENDING
to bury them with military honors,
and numerous body of citizens also

Comment on the above table, to Il

whole scope and tenor OF the system

EXECUTION IN MOROCCO.

Another instance of capital punish
ment was attended with the following
singular circumstances. A Moor of
the village of Sharf had shot with a
pistol in the market Trangier fellow
ylllager, whom he suspected Of being
too intimate with his wife. The broth
er OF the murdered man set out imme-
diately for Meknas, where the Sultan
was then residing, and claimed the life
OF the murderer. The Sultan heard
the case; acknowledged the justice of
the demand; and summoning the plain
tiff into his presence delivered the fol
lowing curioue decision:
We grant you our permission to
take the life of the murderer of your
brother with the same instrument of
death with which he was assassinated,
and on the same spot, at the same hour
Of the day. Butt added the Sultan,
"why seekest thou also TO be a man
slayer? Accept the price of blood which
IS lawful unto true believers, and we
will guarantee its payment from out
Sheree6an hands, and two hundred
mitzabel shall be the sum-"
To this the plaintiff replied, "Can
that some purchase me brother'"
eco thy way" said the Sultan, we
have heard and understood; letter
will be given you by the Fixier,in which
our mandate shall be written"
Furnished with the sentence Of
death, the man returned to Tangier, and
presented it to the Governor. On the
same day of the week, and at the same
hour, the murderer was brought out of
prison, and seated on the very spot
where he had taken his fellow villagers
life, while crowds of people attended to
witness his death.
The pistol was now given to the
brother Of the murdered man; when,
having loaded it, he went up to tbs
criminal, walkedSowly in a circle round
him and said, II presence of God
an: and man \: !. cal 1pa ITO an !; me
truly: didst thou. 81 "~ather''
To this thecrimj Il did"
One Of the mutt W stepping
forward, addressed gsAe bpother Of the
murdered man;
" Accept the Mice of Blood" said
he, "and proIise you one hundred
ducats in addition which those here as
sembled will gladly giye.o
Worthless Words" said the villa
ger; and again he walked round his
victim. Again he asked him the same
question, and again the same reply was
given.
A second offer was now made, of
two hundred ducats; and again the
vlllager, walking round the criminal,
repeated his question, adding, essay
what thou belevest; am about to take
thy life"
"That God is God and Mahomed is
the prophet Of Godl' responded the
criminal.
Hardly We're these words out of his
mouth, when the pistol was discharged.
1t had been placed at the small Of his
back, being the same spot where he
had shot the man for whom he was
now about to die; but the wretched
criminal, though MORALLY wounded did
not expire for some hours. -.N'. Hays
