WoSDERFuL DIscovERY.-A Greek
Psychologist, NJ. Eselja, residing
ut Athens. asserts that by the as
sistancc Of electric light. he has
heen enabled to see through the
human body, and thus to detect
the existence Of deep seated viscc-
raj disease. He has followed the
operations Of digestion and Of cir
culation, and has seen the nerves
in motion. This is the most cx-
traordinary discovery Of the age,
and promises. if true, to lead to the
most astounding results. He has
given it the name of "Anthropo-

TIE GRAVE OF RI>GGoLp.-G, w.
Cutter, Esq. the Western poet,
who is an officer in one Of the vol
unteer companies in Mexico, re-
Gently visited the grave of the la
mentcd Ringgold, of which he thus
speaks:
"The spot is we'll selected, and
the palings that surround the last
bed Of this lancntcd one, tell you
at once that he was buried by the
hands of his victorious companions
in arms. They arc made Of mus
kct barrels with bayoncts inserted
pcrpcndicularly through the wood
Ell rails. A plain board without
name or date. is at his hcad-and
all is painted black"
There is cigar factory at Ma
nilla that employs ten thousand
girls. This beats Lowell all to
smash. These girls arc all Indians
OF the country, or Malays, as they
are called, with skins two shades
darker than our Indians.
VERY WELL.-A friend extracts
the following, and says they were
originally written by a sailor on
the blank leaf Of his Bible -
Whilst down the stream of life sail,
Christ be my ship, and grace my gale,
Hope be my anchor, while | ride,
This book my compass, o'er the tide.

From the ~. o. Commercial IimnS.

Through the politeness OF an
eminent commercial house we
have just been placed in possess
ion Of the following MOST IMPORTANT
intelligence from Mexico. The
news was received by Il British
man-of.war, which touched at the
Balizc with dispatches from the
British Minister at Mexico for his
Government.
The purport Of these dispatches
is-thut the United States has tuhcm
p>ssessi' n of the Cu,Jornias. And
thatthc Revolu ion IN turor oC Santa
anna is complete.
Adviccs have just been received
by express Of the formal Amnera-
ton of C0hforniu to tie United
States ! and this vessel of war takes
the British Minister'S dispatches
TO New Orleans and to England.
LATER FROM THE ARMY.
BY the arrival Of the steamship Nc
Kim, we have received adviccs from the
Army to very late date.
a rumor prevailed at Matamoros on the
18th that McCullough's ranging compa-
ny had been surprised, defeated and made
prisoners, by some Mexican Rancho
ros under Carvajal In relation to this
report postscript to our correspondents
latest letter says:-"Onc Of Mccall
lough's men came in this morning and
contradic,s the rumor Of the capture Of
the company. He says they went to
China, and found about ITO Mcxicans
there, but they fled from the town; and
old Ben returned to Camargo. Various
rumors arc ahoat here about the enemy
but l will not trouble you with them.
Clark is bringing the town to rights vc-
ry fast, and keeps good look out for the
enemy too. With Mcxicans as our foe
we are never sure, and believe we arc
in more danger here than if we were in
front OF the army.''
The American Flag speaks in the
highest terms of the discipline OF the
Louisville Legion.
In house in Matamoros very large
quantity of musket cartridges, muskets,
Mexican uniforms, spears, &c, were
found.
The American Flag Of the 18th takes
very strong ground against any dcIibc-
rate attempt at the conquest of Mexico

YuCATAN.-We turned over {,
file OF Yucatan papers yesterday,
Of the latest dates received from
that Peninsula. They confirm en-
tircl! the impression which we had
been led to entertain in rcuard to
the feelings OF he people Of Yuc.,-

10 make his peace with IL will .gr

TO he received back into the Mrxi-

Of talking around and around.
about and about" but the truth is
apparent through all DISCUSSES and
pretexts. Having hvailcd herself
Of the weakness Of the Mexican
c"nfederacy, she attempted to en-
tort some peculiar commercial
privileges from the Central Gov
ern,nent, and she succccdrd in her
design. But the Central Govern
ment has been quite too jealous OF
its rights TO acquicsce in these
grants exiorted from it's weakness
and all that Yucatan now esires
IS TO obtain a certain and precise
guaranty from her that Yucatan
may hold in perpetuity these com.
mercial advantages. This ques-
ton settled in it's favor, the PENN.
