who, as it now appears, did not throw
herself into the falls of Niagara, but has
probably been engulphed in a fall more
Ideplorably deep, was seen on board of the

Walthall on Friday last. She was re-
cognised by an acquaintance, and was
supposed to be accompanied by young
man whose uame appeared on the waybll
as "Mr. Brown"
Mrs. NJ. and her companion were seen

Why NOT PROVIDED FoR.-In reply TO
the question, why was no provision made
in the Constitution of the United States
for the election of Speaker of the House
Of Representatives, in case that ia majority
Of the members would not vote for any
particular candidatei the Albany Argus re-
plies:-'' 1t does not appear to have been
anticipated that members being once cleo
ted from all the States could or would stop
the wheels OF federal legislation and the
government, in strife for the Speakershlp,
or for the mere power of organizing the
committees. 1t was one of those cases
which, like certain crimes against nature
and humanity, ancient Legislators, either
regarding them as in. possible, ornot drea-
ming of their occurrence, failed TO provide
against"

The New York Courier remarks Of the
cession of Tigre Island to the United
States :--"The island of Tigre commands
entirely the magnificent Bay Of Fonseca.
which is said TO I've the only rival Of the
Bay Of San Francisco on the Pacific
Coast and the opinion was expressed by
Commodore Belcher, Who made survey
of the Coast under the direction of the Brit
ish Government, that the inter-oceanic Ca
nal acoss the Istbmus must terminate at
that point. This fact renders the tempo
rary cession of he island TO the United
States, and is subsequent seizure by the
British, m9uer Of decid d importance. "

From Yucntau.

BY the way of the city of Mexico
we have received dates from Yucatan 10
the 2lst ult. The country still contin-
ued in distracted stale. The negotia-
tons concluded with Indians, by M. Ve-
la, had not produced the anticipated re-
suits. The Yucatans accuse the English
at the Belize of furnishing arms and am
muni,ion to those savages, who, on a re-
cent occasion, had actually devoured the
flesh Of their white prisoners. The gov
eminent troop have, however, obtained
some advantages over The enemy. An
exdedi,ion of 40 men, under CON mand
of Capt Maldonado, killed 70 Indians,
recovered 2l7 captives Of both sexes,
and took FL prisoners, besides arms and
munitions. Another company, after a
compaign of twenty-one days, succeed
ed in killing 81 of the enemy. Still an
other killed 4S and captured ll9. Some
distinguished chiefs have been captured
by the whites, among the rest Jacinio Pat,
who, il was previously reported, had
been murdered.
The government concerns Of the pen
inEala are also in state of confusion
Gov. Barbachino and the Commissary
General, joaquin Castellani, have been
on lhe point of serious rupture. Cas-
sellanos encouraged a pronunciamento in
favor of q centralism and Santa Anna;
and he was to have been supported in
this movement by Gen. Micheltorena,
who, pro fempore, exercises a Dictator
ship. Gov. Barbachino, on the other
hand, wishes TO declare the State inde-
pendent, and to break off all connection
with the rest of the Mexican confedera-
ton.
