Wills! we hope for peace, it is rs we'll f6r
US to keep our eyes open TO all the military
movements of the day. The only difficult
ny is, among the rumors we hear, TO know
what is fact, and what is fiction. With the
view OF showing that the press is wide a.
wake, we copy the two following para.
graphs from the newspapers, without pre-.
tending to vouch for their authenticity
WAnLrkE PREPARArgoNs.-The British
Wing, published in Kingston, Canada West,
mentions the following rumors Of warlike
preparations lholc, bat does not vouch for
them:
Eight regiments are ordered out mme-
diat"Iy TO Canada. and those going home
this summer are to stay ill further orders.
In order to encourage the recruiting Of SOL
dcra for the regiments Of the line, the STAN
dard has been reduced one inch. (Ths is
a fact.) The dock-yard at Kingston is
forthwith t. be put IN a full establishment,
and an admiralty commissioner will assume
the command, under whose superintendent

LINES TO

Go ask the planets why they roll
Forever on their endless round;
The needle why towards the pole,
IT'S always constant found.
Go ask the ocean, why her tides
Perpetually GIBBS and flows;
The Andes, why his towering sides
Are ever wrapt in SHOWS.
Go ask the ear, why raptures thrill
Its May labarynths along,
When from your lips you pour, at will,
The melody Of song.
Go ask the clouds, that, bathd in gold,
Float calmly in the purple west,
Why watch they as the day grows old,
And sinks the sun 10 rest.
When these have answered, then my hear
Shall tell, why it must ever love,
While thought and sense are given it,
From the Great Soul above.

The Albany Daily American Citizen thu.

The Albany Daily American Citizen thus
describes one Of the wonders of the animal
kingdom now exhibiting in that city:
1t is the pretrifed variebrn Of q monster
called by the naturaIsts the Zupglocon-a
creature which must have been half aiga.
tor and halt whale. 1t was discovered EN-.
bedded in a chalk formation on the banks Of
the Alabama river, and was boxed up and
sent to professor Emmons, of this city.
The vertebrm, extending from portion o.
the head to the tip of the tail, is eighty feet
in length as il lies upon the floor! The Great,
ure must have been, in life, from ninety to
one hundred feet long.

MExIco.-The following, which we cut
from the N. Y. Journal Of Commerce o.
the 2lst, is not as late as the news we pub
lshed by the way of New Orleans, but con
firms what was there stated:
We learn from Capt. Baker, Of the bark
Falmouth, which left Mantanzas May 10Th,
that the English mail steamer from Vera
Cruz, arrived at Havana 7th inst, with de-
spatches for Mr.. Crawford, the British con.
sui, advising him that the boundary line OF
Texas had been defined and settled, and her
independence guaranteed by convention
between England, France and Mexico. Ac-
counts by the same arrival state that Santa
Anna has been reduced TO the alternative OF
ten years Punishment, or trial for maIad.
ministraton.
The above intelligence must have left
Vera Cruz on the Cd or Sd inst, which is
ten days later than our previous advices.
The joint guarantee OF Texan indepen-
dence, with a specification Of boundaries
is more definite form of the propositions
sent TO Texas from Mexico some weeks
since, per British frigate Euridice. The
Texan government objected to that propo
sition. that il specified no particular bounda
ry; but intimated that if this objection was
obviated, and liberal boundary specified
the proposition would be presented to the
people for adoption or rejection, simul,an
eously with the annexation project. We
presume the line has been placed pretty faI
west, in hope of inducing the Texans TO &C
quiesce, but il is in Yain-they are almost
unanimous for annexation, and annexation
will be the result.

From the Washington Union.

A New MEXICAN OUTRAGE.-We have
just heard OF new Mexican outrage, the
particulars of which will doubtless be laid
before our government in the next des.
patches from Mr.. Shannon.
Mr.. Alexander Atocha, a citizen Of the
United States, engaged in extensive com.
mercial enterprises in the capital, where he
has resided for several years, a wealthy
American merchant, was suddenly ordered
to quit the Republic, in the short space OF
eight days.
Mr.. Atocha Immediately applied to our
minister Tor protection, and strong re.
monstrance was forthwith despatched by
him to the Mexican government. But the
allotted period of eight days passed, without
a reply, and Mr.. Atocha was forced to a.
bandon his dwelling, furnished in the most
tasteful and expensive manner, to relnquish
his lucrative commercial business, and with
a large family, to depart for Vera Cruz,
whence he sailed for New York, where he
has arrived.
1t is question of political importance
that should at once be decided by this case,
whether our inofiensive citizens are to be
thus driven, like dogs from Mexico, without
even the allegation OF guilt or offence a.
gainst her laws.

WHAT A PITY 1T is HE DRINKS.

Do you know the nice young man
That lives across the way?
The accomplished lady, Julia Van,
He's counting her they say;
Yes, he's noble fellow,
So every body thinks,
But then he will get mellow,
What pity it is he drinks!
He is man Of gifted mind,
His hearts an earthly heaven;
And every feeling is refined,
That God to him hath given;
No intellect is quicker!
In every thing he thinks.
But, all he loves the liquor,
What pity it is he drinks!
| am told that Juliet now
Is Jealous OF the youth;
Not Jealous oil his solemn vow,
For he's a man Of truth;
But jealous Of his throttle,
For every body thinks
He loves the brandy bottle,
What a pity it is he drinksl
He's very moral man,
And honest too, they say;
He's very generous when he can
Give any thing away;
But then at church he's moody,
And every person thinks
He takes too much Of ,oddy,
What pity it is he drinks!

DrREcr rAYmENT.-An honest man has
no objections to pay for value received. He
requires no round ahou, way to make the
payment, but prefers the direct mode. He
has no objection to pay his butcher direct
ly, and therefore does not require the land
lord to put on twelve per cent. more rent
in order that the landlord may pay the
butcher for the tenant, and so on. Govern
ment is valuable il free. Our own ls free,
or passes for it, I;s administration is val
liable to us. We enjoy it, and we should
pay tor it. How? The sooner we learn
to pay for it directly, the more economical
will it be. This. however, is prospective
argument, and may in the course Of another
generation or two, he recognised as true

MALTESE MARRIAGES..

The Maltese women lead very retired
lie, they are never allowed TO walk out
without Their parents, nor TO speak 10 any
man until they are married, the acquain.
lance with their husbands being made en-.
urely afterwards. When a man wishes TO
marry he goes TO the father of the lady he
admires, (wbo, perhaps, he may have seen
once or twice through an open door or
window) stating what he is worth, and
what are his expectations. If the father
and he are mutually satisfied, the state Of
the case is made known TO the glrl, who is
seldom averse to changing her condition.
Kings are then exchanged, and me young
man is invited 10 dinner and to walk out
with all the family, brothers and sisters in
cIuded, however many there may be. The
next time they meet is generally in church
to be united. The father Of the bride gives

ture and plate if he be rich enough. was
much amused when Vicenza. talking OF her
children, the two bgges, Of whom are in the
Casa Industrial, said she thought that the
eldest girl, who is jus. thirteen years old,
would be married in a year or two, for now
they were allowed 10 come out Of the school
Tor three days every six months and during
that '!'le very Hke'y some Young man might
see and admire her. ! laughed at the idea
Of such short acquaintance, but she told
me, that, at the last holidays, SIXTY girls
were married. and the rule had been made
on purpose to give them the opportunity,
for during the rest Of the year they are
never allowed to leave the walls; and even
their parents, excepting on some urgent ne
ress'ty, 0re only permitted to see their chill

NEW YORK

The New York Legislature adjourned
sine DE on wednesday, having passed 367
acts. The Aibqny Argus of Wednesday
afternoon says:
"The set in relation, - the canals passed
both Houses by considerable mniorities, but
was returned with the Governors veto. It
was then rejected for the want of cons,itu-
tional requirement, majority of two-;hirds
Of the members present. This bill sppro-
priated the ascertaned surplus revenue Of
the canals, lSl97 900, after complying, &C.
'ording to the language of this act. with the
pledges and guarantees Of the act Of 1912,

ishcd portions Of the Genesse Valley and
Black River canals, for bringing into use
such works on the Enlarged Erie Canal as
the Canal Commissioners shall decide will
uest promote the interests OF the State, and
for the Reconstruction Of certain lock, &c.
Much Of the legislation Of the session was
compressed into the closing days and nights.
Such was the ioct in relation 10 the railroad
bills. All. or nearly all, some sixteen or
seventeen in number, except, we regret TO
say, the New York and Albany railroad,
became laws on the last dav; among them
the hill releasing the New York and Ell.
railroad from the Ryment Of the S2,OoO,OOO
due the State.
One Of the most important bills Of the
session is the Excise law, which authorizes
the submission to the people Of each town
.of the question Of license or no license
