NEW YORK HERALD. IMPORTANT FROM TEXAS, SO EVENING EDITION. | New York, Saturday, July 4, 1845. The News from Texas, The news from Texas, which we give in this edi tion of our paper, and which we also transmitted to all parts of the country in the second edition of the | dence of our country, Weekly Herald, is, it will be seen at the first glance, of the highest importance, and the most gratifying character. Annexation is now settled. The popular | feeling in Texas in favor of the measure has swept away every obstacle, and entirely overwhelmed all the efforts made to defeat it. It now only remains | to be seen what Mexico will do. And the British | government have also to declare their future policy | France has, as we have seen by the last news from Europe, officially, declared off, and washes her hands of all interference in the affairs of this continent, so far as they relate to Texas annexation. The consummation of this important measure will haveone great und salutary effect. It will at once impress the mind of Europe and ofall civilized nations, with a becoming sense of the power of this country, and the irresistible strength of its move- ments, when the great body of the people and the go- yernment are resolutely united. The first great step inthe accomplishment of our work has been taken. It 1s triumphantly successful. Our government can- not pause in the work. Oregon and California are also to be annexed, and the settlement ot the con- | troversy with England relative to the title to the | } former must now engage the attention of the admin- istration, Mexico has been, it will be perceived, preparing to make an inroad into California. But all the ef- forts of the mongrel race of Mexico to retain power | and strength on this continent,will be fruitless. The feeble sceptre has been broken forever—Anglo- Saxon energy and Anglo-Saxon will, are in the as- | cendant, and so mustfever continue, The time is | fast coming when the “ American Union” will em-! brace the whole continent, north and south. That result is inevitable, and of that the annexation of Texas is but the signal of the proof. | | | — EXPLANATION Tae Mexican Instatm OF Gov. Suannon.—The Washington Union of the 3r¢ instant gives a letter from Gov. Shannon, relative to the missing instalments.+ It appears that they have never been paid. To the Hon. James. «chanan, Secretary of State : Wasninoroy, July . Sir :—Since my avrival in the Uuited States, I hi no- ticed that at least a portion of the public are laboring under incorrect views with regard to the payment of the fourth and fifth instalments due our citizens from Mexi. co, under the treaty of the 3ist January, 1843; and also that some unjust reflections have been cast upon me, as wellas others, in reference to the manner ih which the business had been transacted. I deem it not out of place for me to communicate to you the facts in relation to the two instalments in question, so far as they are within my knowledge, with the view ‘not only of putting you in possession of the true state of the case, but of setting myself right inthe matter. This I should have done at an earlier period, had I been aware that there was any difficulty on the subject, or that there was any doubt in any quarter as to the facts of the case. Tne fourth instalment fell due on the 30th April, 1844, and the fifth on the 30th of the following July; and I did not arrive in Mexico until the evening of the 26th of the following August. On my arrival in Mexico, the fourth instalment had been due near four months, and the fifth near one month, and the date of Mr. Voss’s receipt, clos- ing the matter with the Mexican government, I under- stand, is the 27th August. It will be perceived from these dates, that | could have had no agency in advising the arrangement that was made with the Mexican gov- ernment by Mr. Voss. Soon after my arrival in Mexico, on inquiry of Mr. Voss, ouragent, who had been appoint: ed to receive the money, as to the payment of the two instalments in question, he informed me he had in vain sought to obtain the money from the national trea- sury in Mexico; that he had failed in all his efforts to do 80; for the reason, that, as fast as the money came into the national treasury, it was absorbed for the purposes of the army, and by Mexican claimants, whose influence with the government was such as to enable them to ob- tain the preference over the American claimants; that finding all efforts to obtain payment in Mexico had failed, he prevailed on the government to give him drafts on the local treasuries for an amount suifticiently large to cover the principal and interest due on the two instalments, ana iencotel collecting the same, and transmitting the mo- ney to Vera Cruz. He also advised me that the English house of Tayleur, Jamison. & Co., in Mexico, had claims on the Mexican government, and that they had taken drafts of a similar character, and were about to ct them; and that he had handed over the drafts, which he had received, to that house, for collection at the same time. The house of Tayleur, Jamison, & Co., it is pro er I should remark, is one of undoubted responsibility The contributions that had been levied, in order to raise the four millions voted by Congress, and placed at the disposal of the government, were in a rapid course of collection at the time, and ro doubts were entertained but the drafts would’ be promptly met and paid. He stated that, under these circumstances, he considered the drafts as cash, or the same us cash; and that he had receipted to the Mexican government accordingly and that I might consider the instalments in ques- tion as paid; that there would be no other difficulty about the matter, than a delay of a few weeks in transmitting the money to the United States. On the day after I had been presented to the President— that is, on the 2d of September—I received a note from Mr Rejon, the Mexican Secretary of State, a copy of which has heretofore been communicated to your de- partment, in which he states that he had been advised by the Secretary of the Treasury, under date of the 27th August, that the two instalments had been paid. On the 12th of September, | had an interview with President Santa Anna in relation to the release of the Texian pri- 1 | bri | with the following memoranda:— Texan Congress have unanimously consented to the terms of the joint resolution of the United Stat The Senate had rejected the tre a unanimous vote.

On the same day, Major Koufman introduced a bill set. proper authorities of the United States. The joint resolutions were introduced into both Houses of Congress on the same day, and were almost identi- cal in their tenor. The resolutions passed the Senate on the 18th of June, and were sent to the House; the House laid them on the table, and passed their own resolutions unanimously, and sent them to the Senate on the nextday. In the meantime, considerable jealousy arose as to which branch should claim the honor of the paternity of the re- solutions; and it was finally settled that the House should take up the resolutions of the Senate, and amend them in the third section, The House then passed them in their present form, and sent them back to the Senate, which body concurred in the amendment. The President is pledged to give full and immediate effect to the will ot Congress, so far as depends upon himself.” This important intelligence has just reached the President of the United States (this evening, half- past8.)

E TIVE DePARTMENT, — hington, June 16, 1845. § Wash Gentlemen of the Senate, f ihe House of Representative: Tam happy to greet you, on the interesting occasion, as the representatives of the people, again assembled in the discharge of your high and important duties. The call of an extraordinary session of Congress at this early day, by the executive, was not made without the most mature deliberation, and a due reference to the great cri- sis which has arisen since your late adjournment, in the affairs of Texas, as well as the almost unanimous ex- pression of public will which took place throughout the country in regard to the same ‘The executive has now the pleasure to transmit to the honorable Congress, for such action as they may deem suitable, the propositions which have been made on the part of the United States to this government, for the an- nexation of Texas, and its incorporation, as a State, into that great and kindred confederacy, together with the correspondence between the two governments, which has arisen out of the same. This correspondence, enter- ing. as it does, very fully into the views and sentiments of the governments in question, renders it unnecessary for the executive to add (for the information or conside- ration of Congress) but little thereto in reference to the proposed measure. The executive has much satisfaction in observing— what, no doubt, will forcibly arrest the attention of the Congress—that, although the terms embraced in the re- solutions of the United States Congress may at first have ppeared less favorable than was desirable for Texas,the ery liberal and magnanimous views entertained by the President of the United States towards Texas, and the promises made through the representative of that coun- try, in regard to the future advantages to be extended to her it she consent to the proposed union, render those terms much more acceptable than they would otherwise have been. The state of public opinion, and the great anxiety of the people to act definitely upon the subject of annexa- tion, by a convention of deputies, as prescribed in the resolutions of the United States Congress, induced the executive to issue his proclamation on the 5th of May, ultimo, recommending an election for sixty-one deputies, to be held in the several counties throughout the republic, onthe 4th of the present month, andto as- semble in convention, at the city of Austin, on the 4th of July next. This recommendation has met the sanction soners, and the unadjusted claims of our citizens on the government of Mexico; in which he took occasion to speak of the payment of the two instalments above named, and the difficulties the government had to en- counter to meet them; and assuring me, at the same time, that he had caused arrangements to be made, whi would enable the government to meet the future instal- ments promptly as they fell due. All this put my mind to rest onthe subject of these indemnities ; and it was upon this state of facts that I felt myself authorized to make the communication | did to Mr. Calhoun, in rela- tion thereto, in September last. 1 did not at the time, nor until after the revolution broke out, which termina- ted in the overthrow of President Santa Anna and his party, anticipate the slightest difficulty in relation to the payment of the drafts in question. en the revo. lution broke out, the money intended to meet these drafts was diverted from that purpose by the government of Mexico, and applied to its own purposes. When it had become thus certain that there would be at least some eonsiderable delay in the payments of these drafts, I cal- led on Mr. Voss to report to me in writing all the facts of the case, so that I might be able to pu government in possessian of them. [was taken sick shortly after, ‘and confifed tomy room for two months, and was thus prevented from doing so. Up to the time of my depar- ture from Mexico, which was on the l4th of May last, these drafts had not been paid, or any part of them. No doubt, however, was entertained by Mr. Voss or Mr Jamison but that these drafts would be paid as soon as the Mexican government could command the pecuniary means. The government does not claim that it is in ary way released from the payment of these drafts: but th deranged state of the Mexican treasury, growing out of the late revolution, has heretofore prevented the govern- mentfrom discharging them. It is proper | should state that I have no doubt Mr. Voss has acted throughout with the most perfect good faith and integrity, and that he dic what he believed to be the best for the claimants at the time; that, upon a statement of the facts and reasons on which’ he acted, I concurred with him in the opinion and so expressed myself to him atthe time, that the course he had adopted was the best,under all the circum stances of the case, that could have been adopted, in or- jer to secure the money for the claimants. While it may be expected that these drafts'will be paid oy Mexico so soon as her financial abilities will enable her to do so, without regard to the future relations of the wo countries, | donot feel justified in giving you any issurances that the remaining instalments will be paid until the difficulties existing between the two countries are finally adjusted,or our government shall adopt strong measures in order to coerce Mexico into a compliance with hertreaty stipulations Thave the honor to be. dient servant. etfully IN our obe very resp Ww SHANNON Tue Great Pir Perrormep.—A foot race came off y neighborhood of Stonington, Conn., in which Major Champlin performed a mile in the astonishing and almost incredible time of four minutes and ninetcen seconds. He now challenges to run any man in the United States, one mile, for one thousand dollars. or upwards, to come off over the Union or Beacon Course, any time between this and the first of Au- gust. The challenger ean be heard of, or seen, at of the citizens generally, and the deputies in the seve- ral counties; so fara heard from, having been elected upon the basis proposed, it is confidently expected the convention will assemble at the time and place fixed upon. Tothis convention, the question of annexation, and the adoption of a State constitution, will properly belong; and they will determine the great question of the nationality of Texas, as to them shall seem most conducive to the interest, happiness and prosper ity of the people whom they will represen It is important that the “consent of the exist- ing government should be given to their exercising the powers which have been delegated to them, in order to comply with a requirement to that effect in the reso- lutions on the subject of annexation, passed by the = rican Congress. For this purpose, the present extraor- dinary session of the Congress of the republic of Texas has been convoked; and to its wisdom, as a co-ordinate department, the executive now submits the determina- tion of the matter. The services to be performed by the convention will be arduous, and will probably engage it for a conside- rable period of time; and the executive would respect- fully recommend to Congress the propriety of making asuitable appropriation for the payment of its mem- bers, as well as the officers it may find occasion to em- ploy. : The executive has the pleasure, in addition to pre- sentingCongress the propositions concerning annexation, to inform them that certain conditions, preliminary to a treaty of peace, upon the basis of a recognition of in- dependence of Texas by Mexico, were signed on the part of the latter, at the city of Mexico, on the 1th of May last, and were transmitted te this government on the 24 instant, by the Baron Alleye de Cyprey, minister pleni- potentiary of his Majesty the King of the French, at that court, by the hands of Captain Elliott, her Britannic Majesty’s charge d’effaires near this government. In consequence of the signing of these preliminaries, the txecutive believed it tobe his duty, in the recess of Congress, to make the fact known to the people of Tex. as, and to declare and proclaim a cessation of hostilities between Texas and Mexico, until the same could be communicated to, and aeted upon by, Congress and the convention about to assemble. A proclamation for this purpose was consequently is on the 4th instant, a copy of which is herewith transmitted. The prelimina- ries being in the nature ofa treaty, will, with all the correspoudeuce in relation thereto, be forthwith commu- aicated to the honorable Senate, for its constitutional ad- vice, and such action as, in its wisdom, the same shall seem torequire. The alternative of annexation or independence will thus be placed before the people of Texas, and their free, sovereign, and unbiassed voice will determine the all- i rtant issue ; and so faras it shall depend upon the executive to act, he will give immediate and full effect to the expression of their will. Mis situation in regard to the important subjects now communicated to Congress, has, since their late adjourn- ment, been one of great delicacy and embarassment.— Questions of much difficulty have been presented for his determination, upon which'the fate and welfare of the country depended ; and, without precedent or constitu- tional guide for his governance, he has been obliged to assume, in consequence, great ‘and severe responsibili- ties, He trusts, however, that Congress will approve the course he has adopted, and, by their enligh ned counsels, relieve and direct him in the course hereafter to be pursued in relation to those questions. ‘The executive is happy to announce to Congress, that the American Hote onington.

We are not attogether per- suaded yet that such a step will be taken, though we have repeatedly explained why, inthe present condi- tion of Mexican politics, such a course might be pursued, without any definite views being enter- tained by the Mexican Cabinet of its ends or the ob- jects to be accomplished by it. Perhaps the British government could give as good a solution of the de- sign of such a war as_ President Herrera or any of hisaministers. Here is the letter:— Vena Cruz, June 11, 1845. An attemptat another revolution was made at the city of Mexicojon the 6th inst. which at one time had a most serious appearance. A regiment broke through the io ationed at the government palace and took the ‘resident and Secretary of Fereign Relations prisoners; but the revolutionists were immediately afterwards put down by the citizen soldiers, and the above distinguish- | ed personages set at liberty.’ In this affair and a colonel, a captain, and about thirty’ of the privates belonging to | the malcontents were killed, when quiet was once more restored. Many men in high station at Mexico are su: pected of having a hand in causing this mew outbreak, | and it is said thatex-Secretary Tornel has been arrested | and imprisoned. With respect to politics, Texas is thejall absorbing topic of the day, and all eyes are turned in the direction of that country in anxious expectation of the final solution of the pendiag question. e Government and people gentialiy are pretty well satisfied that nothing can now prevent annexation. The former sees the moment ar- | rive, with regret when it must declare war or fall, and | the latter wait with anxiety the arrival of the time fer the Government to take a step which, but for them, would have been taken long since, without even re- flecting on the consequences—the declaration of hos- tilities against the United States. As one of your cele- brated editors says, nous verrons. In the meanwhile, the Government is noiselessly marching troops from Mexico into the interior ; and although their destination is said to be California, still the knowledge of the fact that in that department the Government has no need, or immediate need, of more soldiers than are there now, would lead one to suppose that the real destination of those at present on the march northward is the frontier of Texas, or that vicinity. It would be folly, perfect maduess, for a country like this, distracted and without means, to go to war with the United States, and fora territory that does not belong to them, but I still think the measure will be resorted to.— In my mind the matter does not admit ofa doubt—if Te: as is annexed, Mexico will declare war. Foreign mer- chants are purchasing up allthe cochineal that can be bought, and removing it to Europe by every opportu- nity. Yours, &c. &c. Besides our own correspondence, we have been avored with the perusal of other letters, received by the squadron, from which and our files we give a summary of news that may be interesting to the pubes We would add that from no quarter do we hear so strong an expression of a belief in a decla- ration of war astrom the letter above published. ‘The following additional particulars of a revolu- tionin Mexico, furnished us by a correspondent, myo prove puree It seems that “a part of the corps of grenadiers, headed by Gen. Reng- lon, raised the cry of Federation, obtained posses- sion of the palace, and made prisoners the President and three of his ministers. ‘The remainder of the troops, however, proved faithful, and after a skir- mish succeeded in putting down the insurgents and re-establishing order.” The some correspondent, who furnishes us with this intelligence, also gives it as his opinion that in case Texas accede to Me proposition of the United States, Mexico will not declare war against the lat- ter if the smallest loephole is left for her to creep out of the scrape. It would really seem as though the President was ill prepared for a war while a revolu- tion is staring him in the face at his very palace gates; bu. some of the factions which distract the unhappy country may yet drive him into the measure Baise for the purpose of putting him down and raising themselves in his stead. They would not hesitate to plunge their fellow citizens into a war, so that ney might be able to rise to a briet authority, albeit at the cost of the disastrous defeat and utter prostra- and even to proceed so far as to negociate a treaty, subject to the examination and Fos ee of the legislative body. He justifies this action of Con- gress by the imminence of war, and the absolute ne- cessity of resisting the unjust policy of the United States. He states that te preliminary peorostiaps of Texas had been received, and the Mexican go vernment heving signified its readiness to enter upon the negotiations to which it had been invited, the negotiations would or would not have effect accord: ing to the jadgment which the Mexican govern- ment shot form upon the honorable charac- ter and advantages with which it could be cen- cluded. But should Texas, contrary to the expectations she has held out to Mexico, assent to annexation, he urges upon Con- gree its duty to see that the justice and rights of Mexico, as wellas the honor and dignity of the na- tion should be protected, and the Executive support- ed in the protest it had made against Annexation. — He alleges that the Mexican government has done all in its power to prevent a rupture with the United States, at the same time that it has strenuously re- sisted the Annexation of Texas. He relies upon the justice of the Mexican cause, and course of proce- dure to compensate for any want of force te secure the integrity of the republic. ‘This is the most war- like passage of the address, and it is uot very definite in its suggestions. We but give a clue to the general tone of it. He congratulates the Chambers upon getting rid so easily of political State prisoners, und concludes with some general and common-place re- marks upon the duty of Congress and the Execu- tive to exert all their faculties to fulfil their duties to the country. : El Siglo Diez y Nueve advocates with zeal the claims of Gen. Herrera as a candidate for the Presi- dential chair of the Republic. as The recent outrage upon the French Minister, Baron Alleye de Cyprey, as we have noticed above, | occupies the attention of the papers. The French Courier is exceedingly indignantat the treatment re- ceived by him. and expresses its opinions in no mea- sured terms. The Siglo defends Mexico, and in so doing alleges that the ucts of violence complained of were the outbreuks of an ignorant rabble ; that there was no intention to insult the French Minister, and that as soon as he was recognized as such, all vio- lence ceased, and he and his suite were protected. A force of 2000 picked men, remarks one of our correspondents, is said to be on its way to Califor- nia, under Gen. Iniestra. A Mexican editor remarks “God prant they may save that precious territory from the claws of the foreigner.” The peculiar em- phasis which our correspondent tplaces upon the | word “said” shows that he doubts whether the des- | tination of these troops is really California, and in this he agrees with the writer ef the letter we pub- lish from Vera Cruz. | | | | Anornee Destructive ConvLaGRaTION ar Que- pec—Oneé Tuirp Mors or ‘rue @rry in Ruins — The painful intelligence of another disastrous confla- gration in the city of Quebec reached us at noon in a trom the office of the Montreal Courier, through Vi and Rice's Express. ‘The fire occurred on the night of Saturday la: be seen by the extract below from the Quebec Gazette, that the St. John Suberbs has been destroyed, as well as a considerable portion ofjthe St. Lewis Suburbs. A depu- tation, consisting of the Protestant and Roman Catholic Bishops of Quebec, the members for the City, some of the Members of the Corporation, and one ortwo other leading citizens of Quebec, had arrived at Montreal for the purpose of waiting upon the Governor General to | request that he would immediately convene Parliament for the purpose of getting an appropriation for the relief of the sufferers by this as well as the previous fire, and to assist in enabling parties about to rebuild to do som a more substantial manner, and of a material not so liable to destruction by fire as the buildings which have been consumed, It will [From the Quebec Gazette, June 30.) | On Saturday evening, the 28th June, just one month | after the great fire of the 28th of May, which destroyed art of St. Valier’s and St. John’s Suburbs, nearly all St. ‘och andthe west part of the Lower Town to below Hope Gate, a fire commenced in St. John’s Suburbs, near | weather very dry. At both times the fire began to the | windward of the densest part ofthe suburb, and was cai ried throughout the thickest part of the dwellings to the leeward. The fire has destroyed nearly the whole of St. John’s and part of St. Lewis suburbs, from St. John’s Gate and the north-west angle of the walls, along the brow of the Coteau Ste. Genevieve nearly to the Tower. No. 4, and up to a couple of streets below St. Lewis road. A num- ber of houses in the scattered streets near Tower No. 3, having escaped, and a few near the Cote d’Abraham, and three or four in the vast extent destroyed. We have heurd of ouly one or two lives being lost. Although it was in the night, most of the inhabitants warned by the rapid progress of the fire of the 28th May, made their escape in time, with a part of their moveables. It was only about 8 o’clock on Sunday morning, that the flames were exhausted towards the Tower No. 4, by there being nothing more to burn, and by blowing up a number of houses north of the St. Lewis road. A meeting of the General Committee of Relic! ed by the citizens aiter the fire of the 28th May, met yes- terday at 1 o’clock, and ordered distributions of provi- sions, &c. to the ‘destitute. All public buildings were thrown open to the sufferers, and tents were pitched west of the citedel, but many persons remoined with their effects along the walls cf the town and in the fields. Numbers were sent for by their relations, friends and uc- quaintances in the surrotinding parishes. ‘The scene of desolation, distress and affliction, and the extent of the calamity ate nearly as great as ‘after the former conflagration; the value of the property destroy: ed probably greater. ‘The population of St. John Suburbs was about ten thousand, and the population of St. Rochs had mostly found refuge in St. John Suburbs. Quebec is now reduced to the Upper Town within the tion of the country. The Mexican ‘Constess adjourned on the 30th of May; but an extra session was called for the 15th ot June, principally, it 1s alleged, to regulate the tariff and remodel the election laws. ‘The cotton growers will make a desperate etfort to have the foreign arti- cle excluded. Santa Anna, whose arrival in Havana we noticed some days ago, sailed from Vera Cruz on the 2d instant in the British steamer Medway. He was not brought into the city of Vera Crux, but was embark- ed some miles to the north. The troops stationed at Vera Craz were distributed in small bodies to prevent any rising. The General who escorted him to the sea-side, makes a flaming report upon the me- ritorious conduct of his subalterns, and assures the ministry that it was not from personal alarm that he took 800 men for that service, but for fear the coun try people would attempt some outrage upon the pri- soner, as had been threatened. e apprehended that had such a purpose been consummated, the ene- mies of the Government would make a handle of it. j Santa Anna left a farewell address to his country- men, in which fhe throws himself upon their judg- ment in their cooler moments. He declares that he always loved them and had been devoted to their interests. Ie boast, in good set phrase, that his ad- ministration had always been mild and bloodless! The country appears to breathe freer and deeper ince his absence. Canalizo and Basadre have agreed to the amnesty by which they are banished for ten years. A proclamation has been issued for holding an election for President on the Ist of August. The candidates are Gomez Farias, (the same who was for many months an exile inthis ety Gen. Almonte and Gen. Herrera, the present incumbent. Of these the first, Gomez Farias, is deemed the most promi- nent. It is difficult to arrive at the political views of Mexican candidates for office ; but Farias is in favor of the Federal form of goverament, which appears to begaining supporters rapidly. The difficulties in which the French Minister has become involved with the government are stated, in letters before us, #8 near as may be to the version of the story we published from ‘a letter received via Havana. The atfair began on account of the refusal of the Minister’s groom to pay for washing horses at tbath. Itproceeded to violence, and in the end pp meiemiised the personal liberty of the Minister himself. The whole business, if some accounts be true, is little above the dignity of Mr. Saligny’s scrape with the Texan government about Bullock's pigs. ‘The Mexican press is belaboring Baron Cy- prey, the French Minister, for being caught in such low company. We have accounts of a more serious disturbance that has taken place at Mazatlan. It appears that some French bakers were ordered by the civil au- thorities to close their shops in compliance with cer- tain municipal regulations. Upon this the comman- der ofa French man of war, the Hermione, then at Mazatlan, demanded an indemnity ot $11,800, with athreat that he would bombard the town in case of non-compliance. The next and latest information that has been received from Mazatlan, is contained ina letter from Tepic, dated 27th May, which says that a schooner had just arrived at San Blas from Mazatlan, which place she left en the 22d, and re- ports that the day before her sailing the commander of the Hermione gave notice to the foreign Consuls and to the captain of an English frigate the Thalia then in port, that he was about to fire upon the towng, The commander of the English vessel replied that he would consider the attack as an act of piracy. At the time of the sailing of the schooner, the issue of the affair was not known. The Mexicans bear no love for the French, and a writer in the Siglo says, “It is high time the Mexicans should show that they did not achieve their independence to become the hat ne of Frenchmen.” , We have before us the address delivered by Pre- sident Herrera on the 30th ultimo, upon the closi a of the session of Congress. It is not a document of sufficient interest to require translation. The Pre- sident congratulates the Chambers npon the full restoration of order throughout the Republic, and the ascendancy of legal enactments over arbitrary will. The foreign relations of the country he states to be on the best possible footing, save only with the United States. The passage of the annexation resolutions had sundered these relations, and the Ministers of the two countries had been mutually withdrawn, and he declares that it is not easy to per- ceive what will be the termination of these differ- ences, which neither the Government nor the Re- public of Mexico has promoted either directly or in- directly. He applauds the action of Congress in conferring upon the Executive the authority necessary to listen to the overtures which Texas has made to Mexico, walls, and the Lower Town from the St. Charles, below Hope Gate to Cape Blanc, on the St. Lawrence, the ex- tent which it occupied, Dut then more sparsely built, aiter the destruction of the Suburbs during the seige of 1775. ‘The remaining houses in the Suburbs are about as manp as there were half a’century ago. We have seen them spread out as to contain about twenty-four thousand inhabitants, many of them wealthy, most of them proprietors of their dwellings, and living comfort- ably. ‘This wes the work of persevering industry and general good conduct; and we trust it will be persevered in, ‘There is one truth which the recent misfortunes must have strongly impressed upon the minds of all; it is that every inhabitant has a direct interest in the good and careful conduct of every individual who lives in or fre- quents the same city, particularly in regard to fire. Quebec formerly might be considered fortunate inex. emption from great fires. ‘ihe total of the fires which have happened during the last seventy years, do not equal one of those which have occurred within & month, and it is remarkable that no very extensive fire ever be- fore occurred in the Suburbs. ‘There was a fire to-day on the roof of a house in St.Va- lie1’s Suburbs, near the toll gate, but speedily got under.

E, D., so long expected, came into port yesterday, and left for Montreal early this mormng. She is a curiosity, and we are told was built for one of our Admirals, whose coat of arms is emblazoned on her stern. She has to make two trips to this country before purchase by the officer for whom she was constructed. She is a double vessel ! that is to say, her hull, &e., is double, so that if the external surface’ be broken, the inner shell prevents the ingress of water. She is fitted with a screw, which is made use of in calm weather or against adverse winds; the boilers are beneath the chief cabin, and the mizen mast, of iron, is the funnel through which the smoke from the furnaces escapes. The stove in the cabin emits its smoke through the same channel. An iron par- ion, from the deck to the keel, about midships, serpa- tes her, as it were, in twain. Notwithstanding ner any advantages over ordinary ships, she has made but asorry trip of it, having been out 53 days! A vessel sailed fifteen days subsequent to her departure was first im at Quebec.—Quebec Mercury, June 26. Instrrution ror Epucating FEMaLgs BY THEIR own Inpustry.—Much has been said and written lately on the subject of providing means to improve the condition of that large and valuable class of fe- males in this country who have to earn their own living by their own skill and industry, but amid all the plans proposed (with probably the best inten- tions) not one has been put in practice; and, as if by common consent, almost every one, for some time past, has ceased to write or speak upon the subject, and this valuable class of society seems to have been left to work out (if we may use the term) their own salvation. The proposition, however, has been started by Mr. Thomas Goin, of this city, that well deserves the consideration of Congress, and of the Secretaries of the Army and Navy. Mr. Goin pro- poses to have a piece of land set apart, of Govern- ment property inthis ceunty or State, a good and convenient building erected thereon, and there to have all the clothing even down to the knitting of stockings and suspenders required for the supply of the army and navy of the United States (inclusive of the service of the Indian Bureau), made by females under female arrangement. The United States Go- vernment to pay no more pro rata than they would, orhave done, to contractors for supplying the cloth- ing forthe above branches of the service. These various contractors annually make large fortunes by ap the clothing for Government contracts, and as the greater part of this clothing is at present made by females, large profits are thus wrung out of the intense exertions, tears and misery of tne suf- fering and much injured portion of the community, ay one admits that we have a large number of excellent and industrious women in this country, who work intensely hard_ for their living, and who are not paid for their slavish labor one fourth part of what they ought to receive, although the Govern- ment ultimately pays the full value ris every article of clothing it purchases. Who then makes the en- ormous profits? the middle men, who stand between the producers and consumers—that is, the contrac- tors. What can be more reasonable or just, then, that they who do all the work, should have the pro- fits arising therefrom? Common sense and com- mon honesty alike point out the correctness of such acourse. In an insiitution of this kind, and thus directed, these females could be received at a comparatively early age. They could be well educated in valuable branches of learn- ing, besides being taught a useful busines: by which they could earn an honorable livelihood— at once pay for their own education, their own board and clothing, and have a handsome surplus to contribute to the support of their parents and rela- tives, who might stand in need of the same, or to their own establishment on their marriage, or on their setting up in’ business for themselves, when a proper opportunity presented itself. Such are the ad- vantages presented by the busin_ss aspect of the matter alone, to say nothing of its philanthropic anil truly Christian character. ‘There is a great deal of cant about relieving female distress, and preventing the vice and misery accruing to thousands of young women annually. But who does anything in the premises? Who suggests any really Valuable plan? Now there is a plan proposed, that would do more to improve the condition of the working class of females than all the asylums, houses of refuge, Dor- cas societies and female institates in the city, put together. Why is it that we have so many unfor- tunate girls in this city, lost to hope in this world and the next? Because the pay awarded them for honest industry is scarcely sufficient to keep soul and body together. Because whilst these contract- ors and’ employers become wealthy enough by the labor of these women to roll round in carriages, the women themselves are so miserably paid for that labor, (a few cents for making a shirt, and a few shillings for making a coat,) that temptations of all kinds are staring them in the face eternally; and too frequently the very sons of the contraciors or a ae outside the Glacia, where it stopped on the | ernploy cer become te Hedluoste) of the poor ue em- On this occasion the wind was as strong from the north | Ployed. ho will—who can deny this? As far as east as it was to the west on the 28th of May, andthe | We wnderstand Mr. Goin, he merely throws out this plan to call the attention of our government to lit, with the hope that it will be adopted, in which we heartily jom. Whilst France and England, and even tyrannical Austria and despotic Kussia, are teeming with valuable institutions for the improve- ment of the industrious classes in every respect— both male and female—the United States, as a go- vernment, does nothing whatever for the children of the poor and hard working man. Is this right? Is itjust? Ought such a state of things longer to con- tinue? Have not all in this country aal rights, equal claims upon the government hy then should we not have such an institation for females ? Is not the salvation of one virtuous female worth more than the worldly fortunes of hundreds of con- tractors? Why should we be continually lavishin: imoney on parades, processions, fireworks, and sorts ofidle public and pompous displays,that bring no justing beneficial result, where the same money ap- plied as above proposed, would save hundreds of tair and valuable females annually from destruction ? Citizens, you all have a voice in this matter—let itbe heard affectually at the proper time and in the proper quarter. We appeal to head quarters in this matter—to the people themselves. As to the details of such a plan as Mr. Goin proposes, he leaves that point tothe wisdom of the Hon. Secretary of the Navy and Secretary of War. If desirable, Boston, Philadelphia, and Baltimore, could have similar in- stitutions, or there could be one in every State of the Union—the patronage to be distributed pro rata ac- cording to the liven ation. The details could all be feanily arranged hereafter. It is the great principle, aslaid down by Mr. Goin, that we wish to see ac- knowledged by Congress and the heads of Depart- ments, and-carried into etfect as speedily as possi- ble, and we trust that our present well-informed and benevolent Secretary of the Navy will recommend the matter in his annual message to Congress. Le us give a happy home and good education to those poor girls who are destitute of friends to do that for tor them; and thus save them from those “who lie in wait to destroy.” ‘They could be taken and made useful at a very early age—they could remainas long as they pleased, though probably the greater number would leave before the age of 25, to be happily and respectably married. Others would leave with a smull capital, saved from their honorable earnings, to embark in business, while those who choose to do so could remain to superintend and direct the others, at a good and fair salary. But all these and other details—the location of the building site, the mode of its construction, &c., could all be easily settled hereafter. Give us, then, such an institution as we desire, to save the young and helpless from vice, want and misery, and to render valuable chil- dren happy wives and honorable mothers—give us ich an institution as this, and virtue and happiness shall dwell forever in our mids‘ MONEY MARKET.
