Keller 10 the Pittsburgh Sufferers.
Upon the receipt in Philadelphia Of the
news Of the Pittsburgh conAagration a
large meeting was called, and committee
appointed to report upon ways and means
for the relief of the sufferers. The COM
mittee unanimously reported resolution,
recommending the Councils to raise $780,
600 BY public loan, to be loaned to the city
Of Pittsburgh; and it was resolved that
5000 be Immediately transmitted to the
mayor Of the latter city in advance Of the
collection, which was accordingly done.
Baltimore has also acted a generous
part, the city councils having RENTED
$4,000.
The Legislature passed bill appropri-
ating $50, 900 to the sufferers, besides
adopting several other relief measures.

Mexico and Texas.

A vessel which lately arrived at Nor
folk from Havana, states that an English
frigate had gone to Galveston to inform the
Texan government, on the part Of Mex
leo, that the latter country would acknowl-
edge the independence Of Texas, provided
Texas refused to annex herself to the
United States. This may or may not be
true; but should it prove to be the fact, we
have no fears that it would prevent annex
alton, although it might possibly cause
some delay. The institutions Of Texas are
modelled after our own-her government
is a government Of the people, in which
the popular will is intended to be supreme.
The people Of Texas are admitted to be in
favor Of annexation, in the proportion Of at
least FIVE to one; andwo to those temper
arily invested with the administration Of
the government who attempt to thwart or
battle their wishes. Mr.. Jones, President
Of the Republic, is narrowly watched. His
acts show him to be hostile to annexation,
but he dare not avow such hostility. Cir
cumstances warrant the belief that he has
been engaged in an intrigue with the Brit
ish and French Ministers to defeat the
union Of the two republics; but if so he
will find he has attempted that which is
beyond his power. He stands upon slip
perry ground, and should take heed lest he
fall.

Regular weekly Packet.

We learn that the Laclede, belonging to
the line of packets running between St.
Louis and Keokuk, will hereafter extend
her trips as far as Burlington every Sun
day, until such time as the water becomes
too low TO enable her to cross the rapids.
She commenced her trips on last Sunday,
and proceeded as high up as Oquawka,
taking on board large number Of our cit
izens, who were delighted with the supe-
rior accommodations Of the boat, and pleased
with the gentlemanly men BY whom she is
Offered.
The Laclede is one. Of the best finished
and fastest running boats in the western
waters. Some idea Of its speed may be
formed from the fact, that she came down
from Oquawka 10 this place, distance Of
sixteen miles, in forty minutes, BY the
watch. She is commanded by Capt. Cam
error, an old and experienced officer. We
bespeak for her !, liberal patronage.
Navigation Of the Des HIOfnes
The steam boat Maid Of Iowa, heavily
loaded with freight, lately made the attempt
to ascend the Des Moines river as high as
Fort Des Moines, at the Raccoon fork, but
in consequence Of the obstruction present
ed by the dams was unsuccessful. In at
tempting to pass through the locks Of the
dam at Keosanqna the gates gave way, and
the boat was precipitated into the stream
below, and came well nigh sinking. The
freight was discharged at Keosauqua, and
the boat returned to St. Louis.
We think the time is not far distant v hen
public opinion will require all the dams on
the Des Moines to be torn away; or If not,
that they shall be 80 constructed as to pre-.
sent no serious impeachment to The safe nav.
ig.tion Of the stream. This cannot be said
Of them as they at present exist.
