"HeasYn lVorsi," by Mr. Maekay.- This is the lates, English book on America, aud from all the accounts we have il Is decidedly the best. The author visited the United States in lsl6--'I7; was during that time u correspondent of the London Times: and has since written powerful political pamphlet. advocating a reform of the English par liameniary representation. His new book "rhe Western World" is all the rage in England and it has been fayornbly reviewedi in the Morning Chroni cIe, the Daily News aud the Atlas. The spirit of the book may be gathered from the following tract :--C,rscent
 "Nery different from this are both the basis and the manifestation of society in America. There social inequality has never been recognized prin- ciPe, moulding the social fabric into arbitrary forms and tyrannicaliy influencing each persons position in the general scheme. Society in America started from the point 10 which society ia Europe Is only yet tending. The equality of man Is. 10 this mo ment, It's corner-sione As often as il has exhibited any tendency 10 sbe"raon, has been brought back agaia to this inteliigtbIe and essential principle American society, therefore, exhibits itself as a iaiyiiabe whole, it's general charae teTistes being such mark each o inc different classes into hich European society is divided. That which develops itself with us as the sympathy of class, becomes in America the general sentiment Of society. There Is no man there whose position every other man does not understand; each has in himself the key to the feelings of his neighbor, and he measures his sympathies by his own. The absence of arbitrary inequalities hanishes restraint from their mutual n- tereonrse, whife Their natural appreciation Of each others sentiments imparts kindness and cordi- aly to that intereoars which in Europe are only to be ound and not always there, within the circle of class Y

The government steamer New Orleans, Captain Aud, from Matagorda Bay, via Galveston, arrived here yesterday. We are indebted to Captain A fer Texas papers. Mai Gen. Worth, Mai 'Deas, Mai Pembeston, and Capt. Wood. of inc U. $. Army, came passengers in the New Orleans-Deita
 General Worth left San Antonio, on the 2Oth There was nothing particular occurring. The elni- grants at San Antonio for California had all gone on not deeing il necessary to wait for the protection Of the government troops. General Worh's eKpedi- ton to the Gila will start about the 29th April Several parties of our California bound citizens were met by General ". on his journey from San Antonio to Lavaea.
 At Iudianola and Lavaca there have been several cases of cholera and some few deaths Captain Rodgers, of the schooner Ocean Wave, died at In- dianoia, and Mir Hensley, of the firm uf Hensley and Folger, died at Port Lavaca.
 One ot the companies of dragoons that were lately stationed near the " haco village. is now stationed about five miles above that point near the old rowiash village. The establishment oi this new military post thiriy forty miles above the highest settlements. will be of immense advantage 10 that section. Emigrants may now remove to the fertile and beautiful valleys of Bosque and Neland's river without fear of ino,estston from the hordes of hos tile savages that held 'undispued possession of that county few years since.
 small band of hostile IadiaBs had lately appeared the frontier of Fannn couaty, and Tunor pre- vailed that five men had been murdered by them
  The Bonham Advertiser states that i, is supposed these Indians are Shawners. who have been excited 10 revenge the murder of two of their tribe who were killed few months since on the South SGiphur Creek. The Shawnees have hitherto been very friendly, and 1t is to be deeply regretted if they have been excited 10 hostllties by the ousges of rene gSde whites.
 Santa Anna, the chief of the western bands of ihe CaInanches, has gone on a ioray into the Mexican settlements west of the Rio Grande Pay ayauea, the old head chef of the Eaon lately visited the trading house on the rowsceannee Creek with large party of women and children. who had been left by the warriors in hts charge, while they made the toary in Mexico. Payayuca reported that the Cainanches desired to remain al peace with the whites, but they claim the right 10 make war with Mexico whenever they please There is an ancient eud between the two nations, and the Camanches still consider themselves as sovereign power having as ample right to make peace or war, as either Mexico or the United States,
