how many hard words-how much dowlass and
dirty linen, were necessary to bring them to this
bold act! Do tell. General Taylor, when he hears

THE GREAT IRISH MEErrNa-A GREAT FARCE
The tremendous Irish meeting, which was called
to meet at the Tabernacle last night, by the potent
names of Emmett, Hogan, and other Irish patri-
OTIS, turned out to be great farce. What is the
meaning of all this! Mr.. Emmett was not to be
found at his own meeting, and that disconsolate
philosopher and silly politician, Horace Greeley,
with his pantaloons inside his boots, had to take
the chair. The case of the martyr Mitchell seems
to frghten the fair-weather Irish patriots of New
York. After some difficulty, Mr.. McKeon made a
speech, tame enough too, and others followed-as
people do in taking drink at the bar of the st.
Charles Hotel. What is the meaning of all this
backing out? Will not the free people of New
York get up a tremendous meeting of their own

PUBLIC CREDIT IN THE UNITED STATEs.-A most
extraordinary and happy revolution has taken
place in the United States within the last few
months. The recent revolutions in Europe, thus
far, appear to produce bankruptcy, reputation war
and blood-shed-the revolution in the United
Safes, employment of labor and ultimate happiness.
Let us come to particulars. BY Geographic de-
spatch from Albany, we learn that canal loan of
nearly million of dollars, has been taken, at a
premium of two and three per cent and over.
Place this by the side Of the recent loan taken in
Washington, in which some Of the great bankers
of Europe were concerned, and it speaks volumes
for the credit of the United States. A few months
ago it was with the greatest difficulty that Euro
pean capitalists could be persuaded to invest their
money here.
This is the revolution to which we allude. This
remarkable change in the sentiments of capitalists
ought to be fostered and encouraged, not only by
the old States along the Atlantic seaboard, but by
the young, thriving and productive Western
States, which have heretofore been careless of their
pecuniary engagements. The State governments
along the valley of the Mississippi and its tributa-
res, should take especial care of their future Gre
dit-make regular payments of their dividends,
trusting TO increase of population and industry
for carrying out their future engagements.
What a contrast Europe and America. Eu-
rope overturned by revolution, and suffering all
evils of anarchy. America at peace, and in the
enjoyment of the highest prosperity and happiness

More Gold.

The following from the Houston cTexas) Tele-
graph, may be interesting to the gold hunters they
may reach the Ell Dorado before the Pacific:
:" GOLD REGION OF TExAs.-The public mind
has been lately greatly excited with the accounts
of the wonderful productions of the gold region of
California; but if we may credit the traditions of
the Indians and the historical records of the Span
iards, the gold region of Texas, on the Rio Puerco
is as rich in the precious metals the now cele-
brated mines of Feather river and Alta California
II is not the vague traditions Of the Indians only,
nor the records Of the Spanards that attest the
value Of the mines of Puerco. The ruins Of an
extensive city, reared in ancient days, like the
famous TadmOr of the desert, rise in lonely gran
deur in this wild REGION and bear silent but positive
testimony that something more than agriculture was
the basis of its prosperity. In the midst OF wild
and almost sterile region, the tuTets, spires, and
domes Of this once pOpulous city still remain, but
destitute Of everything that betokens civilized life.
The wild deer, antelope, and mustang brouse the
heritage which grows luxuFiantly N Its deserted
streets, and the savage Camanche or kioway pitches
his rude lodge beneath its now dismansled rampaTts
This city is tie Gran Quiyira Of the Spaniards, and
was founded soon after The conquest of Mexico by
CoFtez. II is well established fact that the Span
iards penetrated into this region and established
iourishing settlements at very early day, and
almost Immediately after the city OF Mexico and
adjoining provinces were organized into Spanish
vceroyaltv The Spaniards Of that day were not
stimulated by desire 10 acquire agricultural wealth,
and they made few settlements ia districts that
wers destitute Of valuable mines Of the precious
metals Their eonqusss OIL had one obiset-gainegsl

SPANIsH.-We have received from the publish
ers copy of Spanish Grammar, being a new
method Of learning to read, write and SPEAK the
Spanish language correctly, by Francisco Cavier
Vingert The system, so far as we can judge from
the superficial observation we have as vet been
able to bestow upon it, cannot be considered en-
tireIy original, as the work processes to be ar
ranged upon the system of Ollendorf but there are
several additions, which render this system vastly
more valuable than any hitherto published. Among
these il the attempt, in which think the author
has, as well as possible succeeded, to express the
Spanish pronunciation by assemblages of letters
having the corresponding sound in English. In
this manner every sound in Spanish, with the ex-
ception Of the cultural and &, can be portrayed
to the eye alone The work is for sale at Morgans,
and T. Maher's, IS Camp street.

axle, and it was revolving at an immense velocity
more than $50 turns in minute.

the articles and News Items published in the daily
papers carefully corrected Price Current and a
Review Of the business at tits Market for the

publish in each number an interesting Tale Of
Sketch, and useful Essay upon every Branch Of
Agricultural Industry The appearance Of the
paper this week is not all that we could desire,
nor What il wiz be in the succeeding numbers
but we think that it viii moi suffer much from
fair criticism.
From belief that The paper viii be found useful,
and aid in doing good as well as from motives Of
private interest," we desire to secure for it an ex-
tensive circulation. We have, therefore, put the
price at The low rate Of Three Dollars a year for
single subscribers, and at Two Dollars and Half
each to companies of four or more, directed to
the same Post-ofice. The impossibilitY Of sending
Collectors into the country without mourning
greater expense often than the sum which they
would collect, will render it necessary that the
amount of subscription should, IN all cases,
be paid in advance
