The Boston Daily Advertiser Of yester-
day thus summarily disposcs Of the "Good
News from Gen. Taylor" which will be found
in our preceding columns.
The PosirIoN OF GEN. TArLoR.-We
have received and offer to our readers to-day
a new account Of battles between Gen. ray
lor and Santa Ana, but they are stu TO oe
classed under the head Of "rumors." lhe
accounts are more definite than we have be.
fore received, but they are without date ana
come through too many anonymous sources
to be much relied on. So far as they repre-.
sent that Gen. Taylor has been victorious ano
was in safety, we trust that they are true'
but we do not feel that they add much 10 our
previous stock Of information.
The story briefly is, that the armies hrst
met at Aqua Nueva, and that General iayior
was there victorious that he retreated with
his force in good order to Saltillo, ana then
again repuIsed the enemy that he then fell
back upon Monterey, and there again deieat-
ed the enemy. The loss is stated as by the
old rumors :-Mexican about 1000, American
about 1000
A Washington correspondent OF the New
York Tribune-one Of the Editors OF that
papcr-speaks Of a letter received by Colonel
Taylor, brother Of the General, "from the
most unques,ionable authority" dated at Sal
tillo, Feb q, which he says gives an account
of three several attacks by Santa Ana on
Gen. Taylor at Aqua Nueva. S,ltillo, and the
pass of Rinconads, at all Of which points the
Mexicsns we're repulscd with loss. We did
not allude to this statement yesterday, be.
cause, although the authority for it is good,
il does not appear probable that any dates as
late as the 23d can have been received from
Saltillo. We now mention it because Il
should be received with caution although It
has been extensively taken as ou,hority,whlle
it should be remembered that government
hss received no accounts from Salt'llo SO
late as this; that no other accounts puTPort
to be Of such date and that il is knownlth that
the communications between Monterey and
Camargo are for the present interrupted.

tr Elihu Burritt, writing from Englsnd,
says, "that more have pcrished by famine in
poor Ireland, than fell by the Cholera, in that
dreadful year of death penny day-two
cents worth of Indian meal a day, will save
a human life. Anything-anything to eat or
,oear, will come to thousands like ministra-
ton of Heavens mercy.
SO long as rum is in hog g's-heads il can do
no damage, but when it gets into mems heads
il plays the very Old Nick.
At the extreme South the first gleamings Of
new potatoes have made their appearance, in
dcating not only an early but good and
wholesome quality.
Fall Rirer Route to Ne,o York.-We learn
that the new steamer ebay State" now build
ing under the supervision of Capt. Comstock,
for the Fall River line, between New York
and Boston, is expected to be ready to COM
mence her trips some time in May. She is
about 1000 tons burthen, and will be one of
the finest and most comfortable steamers of her
class, having all the desirable advantages of
accommodation, spaciousness,p power and speed.
1t is stated that the cigars smoked in the u
s. amount to SIC, 200, 900 annually.-This ex-
pense, great as it is, is incurred by boys and
young men principally, and would support
$4,000 of their number in the process of OBJ
tanning liberal education at $500 per annum !!
The present stock of guano of all descrip-
tons to the United Kingdom is estimated at
las, 900 tons, the anticipated consumption this
year from l3O, 900 to 15O, 100 tons.
A large quantity 'of foreign potatoes, for
seed, have been imported into London.
There are 100000 horses in England, each
Of which consumes the produce of as much
land as would feed eight men.
Murder VIII Om.-An Irishman, (Jamcs
Malone,) committed a murder SO years ago in
ireland, and eluded justice by escaping to
America. After living in this country IL years,
identified as the murderer, informed of, and
committed for trial. He is now over 20 years
of age.
A gentleman in New York has been fined
S5, and $500 cents costs, for placing his ini-
tials on a newspaper, which he mailed to a
ffisnd.
The Edinburgh Register says that the white
insect which produces the potatoe disease, is
still found in the ground, alive, and adhering
TO the root, notwithstanding the severity of
the weather.
Uorthy of Erample.-The Emperor Of Rus
siu gives premium to the engineers upon his
railroads who complete the yeer without any
accident causing the loss of life or property.
| It's singular coincidence that the same
disease which has attacked the potatoes in 9TH
or countries has attacked the cocoa in Jamai-
ca.
Ntp Enterprise at Wiektord-A subscrip-
ton has been opened at Wexford for the stock
Of new steam Cotton Min, to cost 100000.
The subscriptions in the village amount to
$4,000. wiekfors 10 very favorably situated
for manufacturing purposes, and we wish the
enterpriring projectors success in their opera.

From the Boston Daily ADO. Of 25th.

| MELANCHOLY SHrPwREcK AND Loss OF
LIFE.-We learn from the Merchants Ex-
change Books, that Capt. Wright, of brig Jo-
seph Balch, who came up from Barnstable in
the Plymouth train, says that passenger from
Truro reported that the bayque Cactus, (of
Kennebunk) Mason, which sailed hence on
Sunday morning for Cork and a market, went
ashore on Truro Beach, East side of Cape Cod,
on Monday afternoon, during the N. +. gale,
gone to pieces.
We have substantially the same information
in slip received from the Office of the Var
mouth Register, which says, in relation to the
crew, that they are supposed to be lost, and
that the vessel went ashore on Monday night
The Cactus was fine barque of 26O tons,
one or two years DID, and was loaded by Messrs
f. ID. Brigham & CO., agents for the steam
-four mill al East Boston. She had cargo Of
-four, corn, corn meal, &c, which is believed
to be insured in New York. The vessel is in
sured for 500, 900, equally divided between two
Offices in this city, and another office here has
81, 200 on her freight money.
We have since learned that on Tuesday
morning the Cactus was on the bar, her fore
mast and bowsprit standing, but the after part
Of the vessel all gone and part of the stern
with the name on it upon the beach Only one
barrel and one broken barrel Of meal came on
shore, the remainder of the cargo being broken
up. The crew were all lost, and none of the
bodies had come on shore. Capt. M Lanathan,
of brig Baltic, (reported under the marine head
ashore near the same place) spoke the Cactus
on Monday, short time before the vessels
went ashore.

FRox THE ISLAND OF LoBos.-The Provi'
dence Journal makes the following extracts
from a letter received by Major Hayford OF
that city, from friend attached to the "Army
of Occupation,' in Mexico, and formerly q
resident Of Providence.
CAMP WISrIELD, ISLAND OF LoBos
Coast of MeIieo, FEB. "a, lS47.
There are now OH this Island some $500
troops, and about 5000 regulars off in ships
General Scott is off in the steam ship Mas
sachusetts, and General Twiggs is here on the
Island. Gen. Worth is expected daily.
As soon as all the regulars arrive, we shall
leave for the town Of Anton de Lizardo, about
eight miles South Of Vera Cruz, which place
we expect TO attack about the 10th of March.
Our regiment of Volunteers (the Palmetto)
il to attack one side of the city, and the regu-
lars the other side. 1t is the opinion OF Gen
erals Scott and TwiGgs that the city can DC ~,
Ken in an hour, bat that great many hres 'c'f'
be lost in the attempt.
This island is about 100 miles from Vern
Cruz, to which we are to be transported by
ships. There are now some 4O or oV sh'Ps
here. besides several men-of.war, two steam
crs, and other small vessels, which gives the
Island quite a civilized appearance.
II ;s about two miles in circumference, and
six miles from the main land, and is perfect

India rubber trees, the growth OF which Is very
singular, all the roots coming up from the
gro und, and extending some 20 or 80 yards
There are also an abundance Of banyan, lime
and orange trees. The soil is very sandy, and
it is hard work to get water-we have to dig
some six or seven feet for it, and then the Doc
