MEXICO AND TEXAS.

We have received dates from Vera
Cruz Of the 22d ult., by the British fri.
gate Eurydice, and of the 2Sth from
Galveston, by the steamer.
The Eurydice is off the mouth OF
the river, and several of her officers
with Captain Elliott, the notorious
charge d affairs of England to Tex
as came up to the city, and lodged a
the St. Charles Hotel. The fact OF
Elliott's arrival here with despaches
from Mexico for the agents of his gov
eminent gives us ground to presume
that the treaty has been concluded
between Mexico and Jones of Texas
That treaty was negotiated under the
superintendent Of Elliott; the Texan
agent was protected in the Mexican
capital by the same British emissary,
where neither he nor any other citizen
of the republic would have dared to
place his foot with no other guaranty
of safety than that of Texan citizen
ship; he was introduced to the Mexican
Secretary of State by the same enemy

Mexican government, as favor to
Great Britain, the acceptance Of the

Texas and .Me1ico.-The reader vii
find interesting intelligence relative to
our relations with these countries. 1t is
rumored that declaration of war by
Mexico will be received in Washing
ton before many days, and that the
troops of Mexico will Immediately
thereupon march for Texas. Mexico
is playing deep game, and, we think,
evincing by her course, degree Of i'm
-becility and blindness to her interests
that would disgrace the most heathen-
lsh nation on earth. We cannot believe
that any enlightened nation would as
.,sist her, at least by any overt act. But
should she be openly assisted by any of
the powers of Europe, after annexation
is accomplished, it will jeopardise the
peace Of the world; and the consequent
ces to commerce, life, and even gov
eminent, no man could estimate. We
feel, however, that for these consequent
ces, no responsibility would rest upon)
the United States.

Twelve bodies had been found when
the latest adyices came away, but it is
feared that the real extent OF the loss
must be far greater. One painful Incl

Extract from private letter.
QUEBEC, May 30.
Eighteen schooners were burnt at
the Palais, also new vessel; Num- s
ship-yard is completely destroyed; JEFF
frey's property has escaped, also Lees.
The whole of St. Roch's is a mere
Wilderness of chimnies.
The loss OF property has also been
with a considerable loss Of
life. It's conjectured that not less
than one hundred persons have perish
led.
The value ofbuildings and movables
may be 100000, of which but a
small portion is insured, say 100000
The Mutual Insurance Company was
in existence in St. Roch's, but all par
ties are involved in ruin. Dry goods
people will be great sufferers. 1t is es-
timated that 10000 of new goods
have been sold to St. Roch's store
keepers since the arrival of the vessels
In fact, every person must suffer more
or less.
From another Private Letter.
QUEBEc, May 80.
The losses by the mercantile lower
town people will be heavy. Almos'
all the bakers are burned out and moth
ing saved. What renders matters
more disastrous is, not one house in tenl
in ST. Roch was insured, and those in
sured are principally at the Mutual
ms. Co., which being composed ot|
persons residing at St. Roch's, the
company is defunct-for if one mani
owes his neighbor los, and his neigh-|
Dor owes him l0S., and neither has
wherewith to pay, both are ruined.~-l
Many lives have been lost.
Six bodies were this morning takenE
out of the Church which fell prey tol
the fire. The Convent was saved with
great difficulty, although the distanceI
between them is very large-but suchE
was the rapidly Of the raging element.I
The loss in round numbers cannoES
be easily ascertained, but half a mil
lion will not cover the losses, nor perl
haps 975O,000.
A Quebec paper says-'One asser.
ton we may safely make-that the|
amount of property lost is not so far|
and the sacrifice of hunanl
life is moderated. The total loss has
been computed with the utmost nicely
possible, and found to be between one!
million and one million and a half 9I

Ito school, laden down with books
care orn and pale in the face, and too
|often slouching in gait and weak IN
limbs, has hard work to refrain from
pitching the books into The gutter, and
asking the over worked youngster to-
TRY race with him. We are in this
country too much addicted to the early
forcing of mental culture, at the expense|
Iof health, and to the diminution of the|
future usefulness of those whom our
misguided affection iskilling with kind l
ness. Physical education is all impor

sonr public schools consume too many
hours of the day-the tasks, whether
self composed by emulation, or requir-
led by rule, are too heavy. This is al
matter which needs notice the more,

DurlABLE GOops IN TEXAS. The NewYork
Courier is informed, on what it believes to be
reliable authority, that the steamship Acadia
which left Boston on the 10Th of July, took Out
extensive orders (and other conveyances will
no doubt take out similar orders) to England to
purchase and ship to Texas foreign merchan-
disc, to arrive and enter there at the existing
reduced rate of duties, and there await the ac-
ton of Congress on annexation. This fact
shows the necessity for the recent action Of the
Secretary of the Treasury, which we hope will
prove sufficient to prevent this contemplated
fraud upon the revenue.
