DESIGNS ON MExICo.-A revolution in the
northern states Of Mexico is now in progfess, in
stigated and carried on chiefly TO extend slavery
there. 1t is steadily getting ioothold in Utah and
New Mexico since treacherous politicians aban-
doned the Proyiso, and the determination is to
obtain large regions of Mexico on which TO estab-
ished the plague. This, with southern Caiior-
MIA will give slavery a vast belt across the contf-
nent, and barricade Liberty forever The latest
account says
Among the troops attached to Caravajal's
command it is said there are four hundred Tex
ans. We have heretofore stated that Capt. Ford
with body of rangers, recently discharged at
Saredo, from the U. S. service had crossed into
the Mexican territory, intending to JOIN the Revo-
lutonary Forces These men are now with Cara
vaial, under command of Capt. Ford, who ranks
as Lieut.. Colonel
American troops stationed on the Rio Grande,
had deserted and Joined the revouiionists, and
requisition had been forwarded by the command
am the department at New Orleans, for more
men.
The movement had its origin in the deter
minatlon of large portion of our Southwestern
population to obtain more territory and additional
security for Slavery. A few months ago. we
Published an editorial from the Houston Iele-
graph, entitled &c A spech of war; in which it
was stated that the escape of slaves TO the Mexi-
thrown in the way of their reclamation, had be-
come such an evil, that, unless the Federal Gov
eminent should promptly interfere TO correct it,
the People would take the remedy into their
own hands This may throw some light upon
what seems to the correspondent of the National
InteligeRcer SO inexpllcable-s' the common
boast among many of the most influential citizens
of the town of Rio Grande, that they took part
in the fight at Camargo.' They had something
to gain by it,
The plan is, to push the revolution far as
the Sierra Madre, separate Tamaulipss, New
Leon, and Coahuila, from Mexico and add them
to our Union as slave Satisfactorily increasing
the political power of Slavery, keeping up The
value of its victims and products, and securing
sufficient guaranty against the escape of fugves.
That is the aGhoie Of 1t. The Mobile Register,
while pretending TO deprecate the forcible seizure
of these provinces, dwells with great iondness on
their attractions, and openly procIaims that
nexaton is the object of the revolution. 1t says:
&C For long while movements have been gong
on, having in view the severance of these States
from the Republic of Mexico.
Large numbers of Adventures have gone into
the country from Texas and other parts of the
United States; and they have fomened the dis
satisfaction of the inhabitants, and induced them
to take up arms for independence. One alleged
mottue is to secure the annexation Of these States
to the United States. 1t is said 10 be absolutely
necessary that our authority shall be extended to
the Sierra Madre, as the present boundary, the
Rio Grande, is utterly Insecure and insufficient.
The mountain line could be easily guarded, and
would much more effectualy coincide with
natural arrangements and divisions. Such are
the arguments pressed in support of the alleged
necessity of the proposed annexation. That
they are SHALLOW and cdSuistical, md not such
as to justify The seizura of these territories, must
be eCident to every reflective, right-minded man.
The States in question, Tamaulipas, New
Leon, and Coahulia, embrace some of the richest
and most valuable portions of Mexico. The nfu-
sion, in late years, of hardy, Spirited and restless
adventures from the United States, has led to
the events which have now occurred, and they
WILL no doubt, be followed by others of greater
magnitude"
MADAME BIscAccIANTI's CoNcERr.-It
is finally arranged for Madame Biscaccanti's Con-
ceit to take place at Brinley Hall, on Monday
evening the oath inst, instead Of FRIDAY evening.
We quote the following notice of her first recent
concert at Tripler Hall in New York, from the
Courier and Enquirer.
| Madame Biscaccianti's concert, on Saturday
evening, proved an suspicious inaugural 10 her
musical career, II we may Judge from the hearty
and the more than usually discriminating ap-
| plause which rewarded her efforts. Her second
debut has been looked for with interest by many
| warm friends and admirers, and when she stepped
| upon the stage, safiron-robed, and with trailing
| clouds OF ambrosa curls upon her shoulders, her
dark eyes cleaning with excitement, she made
decided Impression upon the audience, and the
hearty greeting given her, was both Necome
and tribute.
! The first phrase of her first aria was not fin
lshed, before she gave evidence'that her soourn in
Europe had not been without profit She has
1 acquired power over her voice, the power of
restraining it she has imbibed, from observation
OF from study, Just notions of effect, and, though
having yet slight tendency TO exaggeration,
understands the virtue which lies in g not too
| much.''
Her execution has become more exact and fin
lshed, and, as consequence, more easy and
flowing. In her voice we find little change, and
! 10 so radical a matter, it was scarcely TO be
looked for, but by her vastly improved use of il,
nappears to much greater advantage than before.
Her singing of " Luce di quest anima'' must
have given pleasure to severer and more exacting
critics than her audience were, or were disposed
TO be- Its light and joyous character was well
| expressed, and many passages of delicate voca-
zaton were given with graceful nicely, and an
effective use of the meSzG Uoce The aria from
beatrice won for her even more favor than her
first effort In the allegro she was especially sue
cessful, at times quite brilliant in the effects she
attained, carrying her audience with her, by an
abanaonment 10 the emotion Of the moment
we gladly welcome an American prma donna,
who has other and greater claims upon us than
her American birth
FATAL AccIDENT.--A sad accident occurred
about half past 10 O'Clock Fridny morning, at
the Soulhboro Station on the Boston and Wor-
ceser road. Miss MilIy Morse of Hopkinton, an
elderly lady, had just crossed the track and
mounted the platform for the purpose of taking
