LEOPOLD DE MEYrR.-The lion pianist visits this
city in a few days. He gave his second concert in
Philadelphia on Wednesday evening last. We
make the following extract from one of the papers
"De Meyers second concert, at the Musical
Fund Hail. on Wednesday evening, WINS attended
by another large and brilliant audience, and was
fully successful. The great pianist WIS warmly
and enthusiastically applauded. The audience, on
this occasion, was even larger than at the first con-
cert"
Another paper says
"De Meyer was enthusiastically applauded, and
his lie Carnival de Venice received with raptures,
and eDchored to the echo. On answering the call
the talented artist substituted Hail Columbia and
Yankee Doodle with variations, in such master
ly and brilliant manner, that it took the audience
by storm, and caused such fror that at one time
we had serious apprehensons for the safety Of the
hall"
We have no doubt this great musical genius will
create great sensation in this metropolis.

HIGHLY IMPORTANT FROM YUcATAN. p
We have just received two letters from Cam
peachy, dated Atm February which were handed 10
passenger who kept them I'LL yesterday The are
both from credible sources, and readers may rely
upon the information they give. The following is
extract from them:
SWe are all here perfectly convinced that the an
nexaton OF Texas is one Of those events which
rarely occur, and which tend TO make happy an un-
fortunate nation. Happy, very happy are the Tex
ans, in having secured solid and true protection
from the United States, and liberated themselves
from the unworthy and Imbecie government Of
Mexico. Yucatan needs now this same protec-
ton. The Yucatecos anxious to get il from the
United States, and we have determined to send
committee TO Washington, so as 10 propose TO the
government Of the United States to protect us, and
give aid, in case that Mexico should once more
attempt 10 impose upon US; for we are now deter
mined TO spill our last drop of blood IN defence Of
our liberty and independence, and would rather die
in the battle, on the scaffold, tnan submit again
to the Mexican government, by which we have not
been treated as brothers, but worse than slaves.
sour own banner with the five stars is now
wing all over the peninsula, and we have sworn 70
keep il up as long we have arm to defend our
selves with, and never TO allow the Mexican flag to
show its colors again in our free and independent
nation. Yucatan will not and cannot agree with
the government Of Mexico, because a man Of good
morals and honorable sentiments can nor will never
agree with rogue and scoundrel
"Mexico does not deserve to hold in its posses
sion such state this; and if we can only obtain
protection and aid from the United States, will
consider ourselves happy, and free from the tyran-
meal proceedings Of that government.
"Our people are disposed TO enter into arrange
mems with the United States which will be OF some
advantage to them. There is no contrary feeling
there are no divisions OF partes--we all joined
and our wish and determination is one throughout
the country. We were born to be free, and we
want to be free and independent.
"At very Cruz they have approved of our deter
rnination in separating from the Mexican republic,
bat we must now wait until April next when the
Chambers will meet at Mexico, and we hope thai
by that time we may have entered into some ar
engagements with the United States government"
We also have before several printed circulars
which confirm the sentiments and opinions express
ed in the above extracts.

vocaed by Messrs. Sewer, Westcot and Ashley,
and opposed by Messrs. Miller and Breese.
Mr.. Speight OF Miss. suggested as reason
why the bill should pass that the city oil Alexan-
dria would be ceded 10 the Stale OF Virginia.
Mr.. Ashley said he thought and hoped not. he
believed Alexandria would not be ceded-and
should the measure be advocated and carried, u
wonld no doubt lead to a removal OF the seat oil
Government 10 some point West Those who
were opposed 10 this, would also oppose the bill
10 cede Alexandra:
The bill was then passed By nearly unani-

The bill 10 grant alternate sections OF land 10
The Stale of Michigan, was brought before the
Senate on motion Of Mr.. Speight of Miss

Those who heard tie cnrccs lectures OF MIR. E.
Nv (known as the "slorm-king delivered in TerP-
s;cbore Hall. some years since, or have read the
singular statements in mis- published Report will
be pleased 10 know, lha, the phenomena OF The
violent gales this winter 60 far to confirm ms
theory. Il was an American, Franklin, who drew
the lightning from the clouds. Another Ameri-
can, Espy, has succeeded, TO The satisfaction OF
MANY. in tracing the course of the winds. he
PROCESSES to know where the "wind goe,h." II is
another American, Morse who has subjected TO
his influence the electric faid, which was disco
yered by Franklin. And it is now proposed, BY
means Of the Electric Telegraph, The wonderful
fruit OF American science, to ou!slrir the winds
by several hours, and to warn the sailor against
a coming gale. BY Espy's observations the time
when gale occurring al one place may be ex-
pected at another may be predicted and by Morse's
Telegraph the warning note may be instantly
communicated to the unsuspecline mariner. II
these things be true, their bearing upon commerce
must be of an important character. The N. O.
Bulletin says:
METEOROLOGICAL comparison Of the late
great storm on the Atlantic seaboard, with line
deductions OF Professor Espy, given in his report
made to Congress at its last session, shows ha, It's
movements were exactly in accordance with these
deductions. Professor Espy's FIRST generalization
is, that storms travel from the Yves, towards the
East. in the United States, during The months OF
January, February and March, sometimes IN
nearly a straight line, but more often in line
curved towards the West. This accnrds with &C

reciion Of the storm. 1t is known TO have con-
tnued in this direction from the accounts OF yes
sells at sea, having latitude and longitude which
would place them to the Northeast of Boston In
regard 10 the velocity Of storms, Mr. Espy's nth
deduction it, that they travel from the Mississippi
10 the Connecticut in about "a hours. This is
also confirmed by the accounts. The storm was
fel. in the Mississippi valley on Saturday, the
14th, and commenced blowing at Hartford, Con-
nec,icut, on Sunday morning, the 18Th
