New YoRK, June IL, l845.
The Great Western sailed to-day at 3 p. m. She
carries out ninety -four passengers. Since she went
down the bay the weather has changed; the air has
become cooler accompanied with stiff breeze from
the southeast, and rather thick or foggy weather
II is rather singular that the Great Western
scarcely leaves this port that her sailing Is not
succeeded by an easterly or head wind OF a day or
so continuance Such rough weather at the start Is
thought to be in favor of the ships as the passengers
grow sea sick early, and consequently eat less ~.
Lieut. General Sir Richard Jackson died very
suddenly in Canada the other day, as you will find
fully noticed by the papers. Sir Richard was an
old and experienced commander in the British
service, which he entered in 1884 He was IN the
battle of Copenhagen in 1905; the engagement OF
Cadiz in 1910; and in the peninsular war of 1872
and 'l3-being engaged at The battle of Salamanca,
and in various other hard-fought battles. His dis,
ease was apoplexy. He had attended church as
usual returned to his house with Col. Campbell;
complained of indispostion; retired to his room;
when his servant went TO call him, he was found IN
commissions, which terminated in apoPlexy, oil
which he died the same night, although early at
tended by several surgeons "Sie transit giorta
mt,ndi."
DR.. Branch T.. Archer, and Gen. Thomas Green,
from Texas, and putting up at the National Hotel,
are IN this city.
l recollect br. Archer, whom | saw in New York
in company with Col. Stephen Austin and Col.
Wharton, who addressed very large meeting Of
citizens at Masonic Hall in April, 1886. News had
Just then reached New York of the fall of the
Alamo, with the death Of Crockett and Travis.
believe the news Of Col. Fannln's defeat, and the
execution Of his men, had also Just come TO hand.
The meeting was large and enthusiastic Col.
Wharton remarked, in his speech on that occasion,
"tbat Mexico could never conquer Texas. She
might overrun it, yet the Texans would rally and
return to the charge, till their country became re-
deemed from Mexican tyranny"
The Courier and Enquirer at that time was
strongly devoted to the cause of Texas, and de-
nounced in the strongest terms, the barbarous con-
duct of Santa Anna in the murder Of Fannin aud
his men. AT that time many had despaired of
Texan independence. "What," said they, "can
handfal of people, Of Apglo-American descent do in
opposition to seven eight millions of Mexcans?''
We have seen the result Of the conflict.
Very important changes have taken place since
DR.. Archer was last in New York. Wharton and
Austin are both dead Texas now has the anxious
attention of the whole civilized world drawn to-
wards her. The Doctor now finds that what was
then sparsely settled country, with its population
broken up and flying before an invading foe, is
joying the full tide of peace and prosperity, and
about to enter the great confederacy of States form
ing the American Union. The contrast must be
gratifying to him and friends. Texas was then
poor and despised by all foreign governments; she
is now courted by them, and pleaded with, aband-
on annexation.
