NEW YORK HERALD. New York, Thursday, Maroh 31, 1842. Important from Washington—Relations of the United states with Mexteo and with England, We received last evening from a private ‘corres- pondent, (not our reg ular one) on whose accuracy we can rely, some information on the relations be- tween this country and Mexico, which do not for bode a jong continuance of amity either with that Republic or with Eagland. We hope fer the best, but we fear the worst. On the same day that the news reached Washing: ton, through the public prints, of the invation of Tex- as by Mexico, a special messenger arrived with des spaiches fromthe American Minister at Mexico, which opened a new scene in the relations of the two nations. The exact contents of these despatch- es have not been, and cannot of course be, revealed, but enough is known to cloud up the future. The President and his Cabinet have been in council eve- ry day, except Sunday, since these despatches were rec-ived. In fact every bigh officer of the govern- meat has been tired out by digcussion, excitement, anilebor. The foreign relations of the country are i1 acritical condition. It appears that Santa Anna refused to deliver up the American prisoners at the demand of Mr. Ellis, or Mr. Waddy Thompson,we forget which. A long correspondence took place between Santa Anna’s government and the American Minister, in which the American functionary and the American peo- ple were treated with great haughtinecs and disdain. It is also supposed that Santa Anna’s expedition into Texas, has been undertaken under the advice o{ Mr. Packenham (a brother of the General killed a‘ the battle of New Orleans), the British minister at Mexico, and that the money has been furnished by the English abolition interests in London, ona guarantee of the churches and mines of Mexico — It is also believed that the English government have a design to take possession of Cuba, as soon as the Mexican war shall have produced sufficient confu- sion in the south, to give any color for such a pro- ceeding. The East India and abolition interests in England, have influenced the new British ministry to encourage this state of things, in order to blot Texas out of existence, asa nation, get possession of Cuba, and abolish slavery in all the Spanish West India Islands, by way of destroying the Un- ion, and the growing power of the United States to- wards the south. After a great deal of discussion on these points in the cabinet, we learn, that despatches have been or will be, sent to Mr. Thompson, the American minister at Mexico, to make a peremptory demand under the law of nations, for the liberation of Mr. Kendall andtte other American prisoners—and, if this demand be not complied with, Mr. Thompsoa is to demand his passports and return to the United States at once. On all these important points, we further learn that there is a perfect unanimity between the Presi- dent and his cabinet. The differences of opinion that recently arose between Messrs. Webster & Spencer on the one part, and the President on the other,rela- tive to the repeal meseage,have entirely given way to he higher considerations that grow out of our foreiga relations. The President’s financial policy is now acquiesced in by the minority of the cabinet—and his viewsare believed to be the only practicable po- Jicy that is calculated, with the quickened action of Congress, to place the country in a state of defence against the clouds that lower all round the horizon. During the present summer, the British steamers will swarm all over the coasts of the United States, from Boston tothe Gulf of Mexico, and into every inlet and bay of the West Indies they penetrate. It js believed that the Brilisn government have deter- mined,to blot Texas from the family of nations, and to surrc und the Anglo-American republic with a cer- don of military troops and steamers to frighten us into their own terms. The future is big with important events. It is time for the people of this glorious republic to wake up from their deep sleep, and to prepare for that mighty conflict tha: is yet to take place on the Atlantic be- tween the principles of a republican government, and those of a monarchy—between the Gothic prejudi- ces and tyrannical barbarianism of past ages, and the hopes, the liberty, the civilization and the glo- rious independence of the future. Srced Aoarnst Trae.—The gnat flaps its wings at the rate of fiteen thousand times a second.— Hence the peculiar humming sound it produces. Ciry or Acur.—The city of Cairo, in Illinois,was ten feet under water at the last accounts. Steam- boats landed and received passengers at the door of the Hotel. CoxTaapicgep.—There is no malady at Marshall, Michigan. That is as healthy as any other place on the peninsula. DiscLosuaes.—There have, been several more ar- rests of persons in Baltimore connected with the robbery of Nicholson, the broker. It appears by confessien of one or two o tiem that a band of the most depraved rascals bive infested that city fora long time, perpetrating the greatest crimes with al- most perfect impunity. Houses have been fired, stores r Lb: 1, dwellings broken into, and highway . Young men were principally More Coon Ktxurse.—Captain Jehn Scott, of Vermont is preparing to call another Texas meeting, and probably his proclamation will be issued to-mor- row. Pexxy Vintvr.—To cheat the Castom Houee, and steal paragraphs from your neighbors. eee New Tueatars.—Charlotte Cushman is going’to build a new theatre—so is the Rev. Thomas Ham- plin—so is Mr. Manager Wilson. In addition to this, we learn that Captain John Scott of Vermont intends to build a great Coon Theatre, as soon as he sus; These important measures are contrary to the policy which I have on ell proper occasions recommended, and to which, with the most respectful ¢ gislature, I am obliged by convi through with Texas. Tur Dany Newsrarer Pages.—We are very much disposed to think that the only daily papers that will be able to stand the revulsions of the age, are those sold for two cents per copy. The sixpenny and penny papers are conducted on wrong princi- ples of finance. In order to save their bacon, the penny papers ought to come out at once and put up their price to two cents. Then all would go as merrily as a marriage bell. Tempenance.—These Temperance processiong are queer events. It seems that mankind cannot even muster moral courage to be virtuous in soli- tude. If they reform their bad habits, they want the excitement of society, company, drums, fifes, banners, crowds, ‘processions, and all kinds of pa- rades. Alas! poor human nature ! Crry Desratcu Post. —We are glad to hear that the business of this establishment is on the increase, and erelong, when the accommendation it affords, in the delivery of letters three tim day, shall be- come more generally known and appreciated, we predict that it will receive as large a share of public support as its usefulness entitles it to. We are surprised to hear that there should be any diffi- culty in understanding the nature of the free stamp system, it being precisely the same as buying omni- bus tiekets, and giving one for each tide. So the free stamps can be purchased at the principal office or any of its branches, and one attached to a letter sends it free of postage to any part of the city. Navat Respezvous at Burraro, N. ¥—Com- mander Stephen Champlin has been directed to open a rendezvous at Buffalo, for the enlistment of seamen, ordinary seamen, landsmen and boys, for the naval service. He has chartered the steamboat Moneroe for a receiving ves:el. Musrary Movement. —General Gaines has left Washington, to join the troops on the Texian tor der ‘Geolog: ology on the Coal For- eee ; nn Mr. Lyell’s lecture last night was on the great coal formations of Europe and America. : He stated that on both centinents the coal was ir- variably found between the old red gand-stone and the new red sand-stone formations; and itwas folly to look for them in any other relative poeition.— Above the coal lie the post pliocene rocks, the ter- tiary, the challf, the green marle of New Jersey, the iron and greenjeands, the Oxford clay, the Oolite or Jura lime-stone, the blue and white liag, the new red sand-stone, and the carboniferous shales, iron- stones, and lime-stones. Below the coal came the various slate rocks, green-stone, hornblende rocks, old red sand-stone and granite. The State of New York we composed of these old rocks beneath the coal, and therefore no coal could ever be found in this state, The rocks immediately aseociated with coal seams are conglomerate, lime-stone, shale, grit, and sand-stone, and some argillaceous iron ore.— The coal beds in this country precisely resemble those in England although 3500 miles apart; al- though the geolegical structure of the earth varies immensely on different sides of the Alpe and Pyrenees; yet these latter are so much more modern, that the beds forming them were not deposited at the bettom of the ocean when the coal was formed. Coal was known to be of ve- getable origin. Thin slices of it has’been examined by a microscope, and the annual rings of growth of various trees, the medullary rays, and even the spiral vessels were very distinct: So they were sometimes in the limestone connected with the coal. Innumerable leaves of plants, and even large trees are found in the coal ferns, the bark carbon- ized, and the inside percolated with sand. 300 dif- ferent species of plants are found eg the coal beds; and even the inflorescence of the ferns have been preserved atthe back of the leaves. The si- gallaria has been found in the coal—a ort et large free fern; 42 species of this tree; also one specimen of the colloptaris, a large tree resembling in its ge- nera the arborescent ferns of the prerent day. These all infera warm and humid climate; much warmer than it now is where coal is found; for we fiad it even in Melville Island and Baffin’s Bay. Pines have been also found in the coal ; notresembling our northern ines, but of the class arcolari—the pinea found at Norfolk Island, and the north part of Chili. Also other equi-cetaceous plants, the calamites, &c., larger than any now extast, and which must heve lived in a climate warmer than can now be found in any part of the globe. One stigillaria was found 70 feet long. ‘ There are two theories as to the formation of coal. One is that trees, and ferns, and moss, and islands of plants were carried down the rivers to the sea, a3 is now seen in the Mississippi, and particu- larly in the Quorra in Africa ; after getting outa certain distance from the land, they become water- logged and sunk; then the delta of the river changed, and in courze of time spread out and co- vered this vegetable mass with sand and mud. The other theory is that there was a great accumulation of vegetable matter oa one spot, in the same way that peat now accumulates; and that by far the greater part of the coal has grown on the spot where it is now found. After it accumulated for a long time, the land sunk down, and was subenaiged, and sand and clay, &c. deposited in layers over the coal. Ata section on the Boltow Railway, several trees of the lepidodendra class were found growing upright with their roots growing in a bed of clay; some were 15 feet in circumference, and 11. feet high, broken off short; a thin seam of coal was above the clay in which the roots were; this was caused by the leaves, moze, grass, Wc.; then came a deposit of sand from an overflow of water, eleven feet deep; thie broke off some of the trees and bent down others horizontally; then came a bed of fine clay, with ao plant but the stigmaria in it; this always formed the floor of the coal. Then came other overflows and deposits ofsand,then a bed of fine clay,then coal,and then a bed of sand. In Waler, in 90 seams of coal that were examined, the fire clay was found under everycoal seam,and no plant but the stigmaria init. This stigmaria has all its leaves piercing through the surrounding mud; when the stigmaria isfound in any other bed the leaves are all stripped off. This plant is of a Ge genus entirely extinct. In the Blossburg Coal Field and at Pottsville and Mauch Chunk Mr. Lyons tound the game rule prevail with regard to the stigmaria and fire clay. The anthracite coal was proved to be of same age as the Bituminous coal, not only from the Telative position of the but from the peculiar plants and trees found it he stigmaria grew in muddy swamps and morasses ; then part of the mo- rass becams dry enough for other trees and plants to poy on it; these accumulate and form the vege- table deposit, since become coal ; then an eruption of the water, and « bed of sand deposited om the coal and so on. Alter refering to the great Diemal Swamp in this country, as being a case in point, where a similar process was going On now; anda few remarks on the climate of the earth when coal was formed.— Mr. Lyell concluded by paying a tribute to the state eologists of New York and Pennsylvania; and said they had conterred an enormous benefit on the com- munity by preventing any more useless and fool- oo wit to find coal where coal could not be found. New Yorx Srare Exect.—Governor Seward has signed the bill creating the State tax, but in such a sneaking formas to take away all the merit.

The whole respectable portion of the Whig party are in favor of the tax—and the course of the Governor and the State Barber will be to swell the ranks of the Democracy tenfold. Ovr Potce.—Tne Lare Annssrs.—It must be highly gratifying to our police authorities to find that their conduct in recently clearing the streets of the street-walkers that have so long annoyed re- spectable persons, has been approved of by nine- tenths of the community. Scarcely a day passes that a letter is not received, thanking them for what they have done, and urging them to continue in that course. Here is one that was recently received:— New Yous, March 98, 1842.

A WIDOWED MOTHER. Over fifty of these letters have been received at the police office, and mostly from widowed mothers, whese daughters have been insulted by these erea- tures. Let the whole of this nuisance be abated and then a respectable female will not be afraid to return home alone of an evening, for no one will then dare to insult her. Arostitx Weise asp rut Temrerance Cavse.— A great many persons have reflected unjustly on Mr. Welsh since he joined the temperance cause, that he has been inconsistent; inasmuch as they have supposed that he was still connected with the Ter. rapin Lunch. {t is due to Mr. Welsh to say that he has had no connection or interest ia that or any other establishment where any thing stronger than coffee is sold for more than two years. And we hope that all who join the temperance eause will be at consistent ashe has been. f} Life, but no more. novel. It is impossible to criticise it ; it is equally impossible to state ite contents It is a wild; lesci- vious, thrilling, singular remamee; and we donot think that any female, unlems she has a very strong mind, should be allowed to read it; partieularly an unmarried one. There are two seductions, one adultery, and any quantity of murders in it. The scence is laid in Naples, Venice, the isles of Greece, Paris, &c. The time is during the French Revolu- tion. Robespierre and his party figure in it. The heroes and heroines are a painter, and student of magic and wizardism, a beautiful peasant girl of Italy and @ lovely young actress. The artist loves the actress; she loves the student; the student se- duces her and runs off to a Greek Island with her where she has a child ; the artist then seduces the beautiful peasant gir!,and goes to Paris, After this, the student, Zanoni, and his ladye love, Viola Pisa- ni, goto Venice; the artist Clarence Glyndon goes to Venice, and induces Viola[to rua away from Za- noni; they all met in Paris during the revolution; the Italian peasant girl, becomes madly jealous of Viola for daring to seduce from her the affections of Glyn- don; Zanoni comes to Paris ia search of his wife, and a terrible denouement ensues, in the midst of which Robespierre:is killed. The work is beauti- fully writtea; but in paris is, we think, too licen” tious. The scene of the attempt to carry off aad ravish Viola by the son of the old Visconti, is well told; the dancing and drinking fete, the wild Taran- tula dance, the love scenes under the trees which ut- timately leads to the seduction of the peasant girl Fillide, is given with great power. The drunken scene betweem Merval and Glyndon equals that between Bob Sawyer and Ben Allen in Pickwick. The scene where Zanoni’s Mistress gives birth to a child is thrilling..— The discourse between Citizen Couthon and Xobes- pierre about Rousseau’s works and his system of love is amusing. And the whole mixed up as it is with visions, wizardism, and the Rosecrucian philo- sophy; and the strange ideas about perpetual youth, render it one of the most extracrdinary, exciting and dangerous books we have read inalong time. 1a Zanoni, Sir Edward Bulwer deals for the firet time with the supernatural] ; not after the fashion of Mrs. Radcliff, nor yet of the regular Forest of Montalba- no school, but in the lofty, refined, poetic and ideal vien of Paracelsus and his followers. He brings before us no gris!y ghosts or vulgar witches, but makes us acquainted, in his own eplendid and im, posing way, with the subtle aad potent essences that were invoked by the high aspiring chymists. And singularly beautiful is the manner in which he bas educed, in connexion with theee, the poetry of hu- man life and passion. Tne Lincau—Wiley and Pulnam.—This is an account of the gipsies of Spain, with an original collection of their songs and poetry. The whole is historically true, yet, like every thing connected with the gipeey race, it equals the wildest romance. It is a work that should be found in every library, on account of its being an authentic narrative of a strange race of people, about whom no one be- fore has taken the pains te give us a correct his- tory. Whothat has read Mrs. Gore’s wild lascivious tale of the ‘ Bohemian” would not wish to read all the authentic detaile that could be col- lected about the Zingaree. Scott has lightly touch- ed the subject, but he had no means of seeing them to any extent in real life. Bulwer in his *‘ Dis- owned” gives a sight sketch of English Gips re. Most persons associate wilh the name of a gipsy girl, great pereonal beauty, activity, licentiousnese, unlimited amours, adalte- ties, &c. Let every one read this book and judge for themselves.

Herny Russert, the well known «nique vocalist who sung and set to music so many songs in this country, made his debt in London on the 23d Feb- ruary, in a vocal entertainment at Soho Square. The Morning Chronicle has the following remarks :— He (Mr. Russell) sings with intense earnestness and great expression, and, in one most iy sage particular, we have no hesitation in saying that he is unrivalled by singer, Braham alone ed—this is, the clearness, variety, and force of his musical declamation. There no book of the words, which, we soon found, was wholly unnecessary ; for,though someof the pieces were narrative and descriptive poems of considerable length, they were delivered as clearly and intelligibly as if they had been simply recited. The gross in: tion to this essential requisite, even of our most eminent sing. ers, is a subject of our never ere complaints and re- monstrances.

Disruneine Tur Deap.— During the last severa) days the vicinity of Delancy and Christie streets has been the scene of great excitement, caused by the removal of the deceased bodies of persons in- terred in the churchyard, formerly belonging to the Baptist church, wader the ministerial charge of the Rev. Mr. Chase. One of the insurance companies having obtained a mortgage on the property, they have recently foreclosed it, and consequently the bodies were about to be removed to make way for the erection of dwellings, A large meeting was held there on Tuesday, and decided resolutions pessed, disapproving of this “ unrighteous course.” On the same evening it was discovered that work_ men were engaged in excavating a space about twenty feet square in the centre of the large bury- ing ground in"Christie street, between Forsyth and Stanton, which bolongs to the Rutger street new Presbyterian church. Upon enquiry, it was ascer- tained that they were remeving the ground in order to build a vault, andthat the trustees of the church had ordered such a proceeding without the consent of the relatives of the deccased who were buried within the space, er any notice having been given them. Sixty or seventy bodies had been taken up, and ameng them some that had not been interred but a few months. Yesterday morning the mayor was visited by a large number of persons, whose relatives are deposited in the ground, and he imme- diately repaired to the scene, and was received by several thousand persons, who had assembled to witness the proceedings. The workmen were then ordered to discontinue their operations, and the crowd dispersed to meet at 4 o'clock in the after- noon. At that hour about three thousnad peo- ple,men, women and children, were present. Fhe meeting was called to order by placing Job Haskell in the chair, and the crowd was then addressed bi Mr. Benedict Taylor of the Transcript, John Mw. Bloodgood, Samuel H. Lleyd, and hig honor the Mayor, who concluded. The Mayor stated that the trustees had represented that they had obtained permission ot the relatives of the families to remove the bodies to another part of the ground, but he had since ascertained, to his entire satisfac- tien, that such was not the ease, and he therefore ordered new workmen to be enga- ged to re-deposite the earth from whence it was taken. The foundation of the vault has been Jaid, and the wall raised about five feet. The work- men, under the direction of Alderman Lee, imme- diately commenced throwing the earth back, with- out removing the stone-work at the bottem. We saw a number of persons on the ground who recog- nised the coffins of their relatives, and one whose wife had been buried within a few short months.— Many of the silver plates had been wrenched from the coffins by the werkmen, and the bones and pieces of cot were scattered about in every di- rection. The burying ground had become nearly filled within a few years; and it is stated that the having recertlyerected a new church, resort- xpedient, among others, to raise funds in completion. We also perceived that a space of about 200 ‘feet square, inthe south part of the yard had been covered with earth several inches deep and all the grave-stones taken up and re- laid!
