[From the Matamoras Flag. On the morning of the Sth inst., says the Flag, a Mr. Palmer, of Red River, Louisiana, who bas lived for some time in Texas, on hearing of the capture of Vera Cruz, ran up to the Catholic Church in this place, and made its ponderous bell in merry peals tell of the gladness of his . It being early in the morning, the Padre and his flock were at their devotions. Astounded at what they considered @ sacrilegious interruption, the men ed to repel the invader, the women following close behind, The gentleman Texan told them he recollected very well when his countrymen were brought into the town, after a bloody massacre, that the same bell was made to toll the rejoicings of the Mexicans, and although it might cost him his life, he would make it do the same thing for the Americans over the fall of Vera Cruz. In a few gracious words he apologized to the ladies for the alarm he had occasioned them; to the men he exhibited his evolver, and they quickly opened ‘@ passage for him. In’the most gloomy hour of t! ee at Buena Vista, Sergeant Langford, ‘YatsMississippt Regiment, was shot through the thigh. Unable to stand, he sat upright, and shot dead, with his pistol, a lancer es he approached him, While engaged in re-loading, another lancer trotéed past him, and raised his lance to drive into o wounded lieutenant afew feot from him. Before the was hurled, however, Langford threw his pistol and struck the lancer a stunning blow on the nape of the neck, The action saved the lieutenant, but proved fatal to the magnanimous Langford; for, staggering, the he forehead of Mexican turned and drove his lance into the wounded man, coming out back ofhisear. Just at this moment, four’ men, who were approaching, with a horse to carry off their comrade, shot the moment he had disengaged his lance,and he tumbled across the body of the prostrate Mississippian. THE MILITARY ACADEMY. (From the Savannah Republican, April 15.) We publish to-day an article from the New York Herald, showing the part that the graduates of West Point took with the volunteers at the battle of Buena Viste, it isa matter of public interest to know what West Point has done for the country, after all the abuse which has been lavished upon that institution. The allaut Gen. Hamer, just afew minutes before dying, fi'said to have wished that his life might be spared £0 return to Washington, and repair some injurions im- pressions which he had helped to create against the Military Academy. The army has been the victim of such crying injustice—never so much felt as when the regiments of dragoons were first created, when officers who had been years in service saw themselves ranked by citizdéns, many of whom were dismissed cadets. The deep disgust caused by this circumstance caused most of the resignations which took place during the Florida war. We know of no resigned graduates within the circle of our acquaintance, who did not offer their services to Government, as soon as the war with Mexico broke out. A complete list of all those who have actually been as- sociated with the volunteers, would swell very much that published by the Herald: named Col.

The first of the name in this country came from Devonshire, England , and sct- tled in Madsachusetts in 1642. ‘The Generai’s father followed the sea, was a man of character and capacity: his mother was the daughter of Marshall Jenkins, Esq., one of the original proprietors of the city of Hudson Worth was educated for, and bred up to mercantile pur- suits; but, as he once said to the writer of this notice, “he was not born to be a merchant;”” meaning that his inclinations pointed another way, and that the cast and character of his mind disqualified him for the avocation. On the declaration of war in 1812, he was a resident of Albany; and though but eighteen years of age, deter- mined at once to enter the service; but unable to get a commission, or impatient of the delay which those who apply for office sometimes experience, he joined the arm as a privatesecretary to Major General Lewis, who find- ing him more inclined to the field than the desk, and having no vacancy in his own family, vory kindly re- commended him to Scott, who was then at ‘the head of his brigade on the Canada frontier. Scott immediately appointed him his ald. and placed him on his staff. In the active and spirited campaign which ensued, he dis- tinguished himself as a brave and gallant soldier. He was with Scott in the battles of Chippewa and Niagara. n the latter he received a severe wound, from the effects f which he at times still suffers. Por his conduct at hippewa he received the brevetrank of captain. After + of: Niagara, he was breveted major. After the war * for several years stationed at West Point, as in- of tactics.

It will be seen that there is a probability of another battle. It may be fought between the National Bridge and Jalapa, or at Jalapa. Some of the Results of the Mexican War—The Destiny of Nations. The destiny of nations and individuals is fre- quently controlled and regulated by events which in their inception are small and insignificant, but which gradually, and sometimes imperceptibly, grow and increase until they assume an impor- tance at once wonderful and overpowering. The small cloud speck in the horizon will gradually increase, until the whole firmament is over- clouded, and willthen discharge itselfin torrents on the earth below, carrying desolation and ruin in its course. Thus, in the year 1765, an inci- dent in the English Colonies of America, the passage of the stamp act, small and insig- nificant as it was in its inception, led even- tually to the separation of those colonies from the mother country, an event that the most chimerical of the remonstrants never dreamed of. ‘The speck in that instance increased until it was the cause of one of the greatest, most trium- phant , and most beneficial revolutions that ever took place. In respect to individuals, the remark is equally as applicable. Benjamin Franklin was the son of a mechanic, and at an early age was taken into his father’s shop to learn the mysteries of his handicraft ; afterwards, he was bound apprentice to his brother, who was a printer; but the ap- prentice became more distinguished than his master—a disturbance arose between them, and they separated. That very disturbance and se- paration was no doubt the event that controlled Franklin’s destinies for ever after. The same remark again applies to political parties, and we might tell numerous instances of its truth. It is, however, unnecessary to do so, inasmuch as we have numerous instances within the vecollection of even the rising generation, to prove it. We need not refer to more than the corn law agitation in England, which was com- menced by a single individual, but which agi- tated the whole of that country before its momen- tum was exhausted, levelling in its course the most powerful monopoly perhaps in the world. The same course of events is in progress in this country atthe present time. A small event—as small in its incipiency as any one of those we have alluded to, occurred within the . past eighteen months, but which, from the day of its birth, has increased and grown, and which, before its exhaustion, will terminate in producing effects of momentous importance to our country. That speck was the war with Mexico. At first it was thought nothing of. A handful of men under the command of a military man but little known to the mass, was despatch- ed to the frontier to protect it against invasion. Circumstances occurred that tended to prolong the war for a much longer period than was anti- cipated. The expenses of the war must be paid in territory to be added to the United States, and though last, not least, the “obscure” general has proved himself to be the greatest warrior of the age, and endeared himself so much to the people of the United States, that if Providence spare his life, they will confer upon him the highest honor of the republic. Already one of the great political parties into which the country is divided, has, in anticipation of the wishes and action of the people, laid violent hands on this General Taylor, and with- out enquiring whether his political principles are orthodox or not, they have run his* name to the mast head, and insist upon having him as their candidate. The other party is astounded, and wonder what the result will be. They appear undecided as to the course which they ought to pursue, and not daring to detract from his extra- ordinary services, are yet afraid to acknowledge them, lest cireumstances which they think may hereafter occur, might render such a course bene- ficial to their opponents. No one knows, however, what Gen. Taylor's opinions are on the only one point of difference there is between the two par- ties, viz: the subject of protection. Without re- ference to this question, he will, from present appearances, be the next President of the United States by acclamation. No one dared to ques- tion Washington on the principles on which he would conduct the government, and yet the peo- | ple—the masses—the gratitude of the people, ele- | vated him to the chief magistracy. All section- | al prejudices were merged in the gratitude of the | people. It was after the terms for which he was | elected had expired, that factions and parties | | arose. The same course will. no doubt, follow General Taylor's election. He will be elected by | the people, without reference to whether. he | is in favor of protective tariffs or not— | | all party principles and diflerances will be thrown to the winds, and “General Taylor's in- fluence will beso wide spread, that it will in- fluence Congress as well as the country. It will be after his term or terms of office expire, that parties will be again formed; and when that time shall have arrived the names of locofoco and whig will be thrown aside, as were those of buck-tails and federalists inthe early history of the country. What influence such a train of events will have on the ultimate interests of now. New subjects of difference will arise ; New York City Blection Districts.

The city Assembly Districts, (each to elect one mom- ber.) as fixed by the supervisors, aro as follows :— MAYOR vote, 1847. Whig.

It may therefore be calculated that if the “b’hoys” manage the nomina- tions of the democratic party next fall, as they did this spring, the delegation from this city will be about equal ly divided. As to the Senators, although the whig can- didate for Mayor had majorities in three of the four dis- tricts, we think the democrats will probably carry at least two, if not three of the Senators, provided their nomina- tions are judicious, and are approved of by the “old hunkers.”” ‘The 24 Assembly district, composed of the 3d and 6th wards, will form an interesting field for the operations of the pipe layers of both partios, It will be advisable for them to commence laying their plans at least two or three months before the election, as the new constitu- tion requires thirty days residencefin the district where the citizen offers bis vote. It appears that the demo- crate had a small majority in the district in 1944, and the whigs in 1847, as follows :— Nov. 1844. pril 1847. Lan Dem. ig.

The returns by the last mail confirm the election of Flournoy (whig) in the third district, Preston (whig) in the twelfth district, and Bedinger (democrat) in the tenth district. Patrick County, in the third district, gives Flournoy 47 majority, which secures his election by 54 majority in the district, even if Halifax has given 308 for Tredway, Preston’amajority in the 12th district (all the eoun- ties having been heard from, oxeept Logan, which gave 54 majority for Polk), is 349. ‘The reported majority in the tonth district for Honry Bodinger (dem.), over A. Kennedy (whig), is 268. Polk's orfty in the same district was 707. the returns the fourteenth district, Wood and ewis Counties, show « whig gain of 120 for MoComas, and render his election probable. A correspondent of the Richmond Enguirer fears that Falton (whig) iv elected in the ffteent! district (Little Tennessee), in consequence of the divisions of the de- mocrats. ‘The Richmond Whig publishes a report from Peters- burg (second district) that in Amelia County, Drom- le’s majority was 47 instead of 74, which would elect olling (whig) by a majority of cight in the district. ‘This is not probable, as we have tho full vote of Ame- lia from another source; thus, Dromgoole 235, Bolling 161—Ds. Majority 74, which we presume {s correct. The result in the State cannot as yet bo definitely stated, but it is now certain that the whigs havo elocted five members of Congress, probably six, and possibly seven, although five is probably nearer tho mark. The election has been a very close one. TELEGRAPHIC. Priapenenta, April 30—9 P.M. In the 9th district, Fulton leads his highest opponent over three hundred. In four counties, the remainder to be heard from, Polk’s majority was 700. Tho district will, therefore, be close and doubtful. No Western news from Pittsburgh. Sreamsutr Wasnineron.—Among the many moves that have been made in these. moving times, none has been more important than the first movement of the stupendous engine of the ocean steamer Washington. We had the pleasure of witnessing the trial of this engine yesterday; and although we had formed what might be called an extensive opin- ion of it, we must acknowledge that the said opinion was not too extensive. The ease and grace with which this massive structure first moved Was really creditable, as well as gratify- ing, to the scientific constructors. We have, on former occasions, spoken of the Washington—her model, &c., as she came from the ship-yard; we have now to speak of her with her engines and machinery on board, and in working order; and without wishing to dis- parage the English steamships, we can truly say that she is one of the most beautiful, substantial and complete vessels, in all her arrangements, that ever floated on our waters. Messrs. Stillman, Allen & Co., of the Novelty Works, are entitled to the highest praise for the manner and promptitude with which they have fulfilled their contract. engine which reflects credit not only on them as mechanics, but credit on the city of New York and the United States. All the improvements which modern science has elicited characterize it, while the workmanship is equal to any engine that ever propelled a vessel. The performance yesterday was only expe- rimental. She will in a few days make a trial trip, for the purpose of testing her sailing qua- lities. Sreamsuip Lavscw.—The steamship North- erner, intended for Messrs. Spofford, Tileston & Co.# line of Charleston steamers, to run in con- nection with the Southerner, will be launched from W.H. Brown’s yard, foot of 12th street, this morning at 10 o'clock. The N. is some 200 tons larger than the Southerner, and is to be commanded by Thos. S. Rudd. Minrrary Movement.—A detachment of one hundred and ninety-four men, under the com- mand of Capt. J.H. Whipple, 5th U. S. infantry, left here last evening on the ship Zenobia, for the seat of war. These men constitute two companies—F, of the 4th infantry, under the command of Ist Lieut.

Five schooners were met yesterday going down to Montevideo witlr troops and Unigranis from that place. Sporting Intelligence. Great Trortixa Matcu.—At three o'clock this afternoon, over the Centreville Course, L. 1. will come off the much talked of and exciting trotting match, be- tween the celebrated horses Hector and Black Maria, for $2,000, three mile heats, in harness, There will be a nu- merous attendance at the track, notwithstanding hun- dreds will be prevented fron» witnessing the sport by that most unpleasant of all domestic arrangements— moving. May day should be never chosen for a race. Still, no doubt, the course will be crowded, for strangers enough have already arrived from Boston, Philadelphia ‘and other cities to fill all the stands. ‘Thousands of dol- lars have been wagered on the result ; the betting thus far being even. The length of time the horses hav been preparing for the contest, and the splendid condi- tion they have attained while in the hands of their re- spective trainers, must ensure extraerdinary speed. The cars will leave forthe track as advertised; aud the match will come off rain or shine, Panu THeatre.—Mr. Forrest’s performance of the part of Spartacus,'in the tragedy of the “ Gladiator,” Jast evening, was a finished piece of acting in the pecu- liar style of.the great American tragedian. The part of the gladiator is one which ane vast phzsieal force to display it to advantage. That requisite Mr. Forrest certainly possesses in an eminent degree. The part of Phasarius was performed by Mr. Dyott, that of Senona by Mrs. Abbott, and the cast well filled by the other members of the company, all of whom did well what they had todo. The “ Invisible Prince” was again per- formed, to wind up the evening's entertainment. night Mr. Forrest will appear as “Richard III.” on which occasion we doubt not there will be a full attend- ance. Bowxry Tuxatne.—It isa matter of wonderment to many that the Bowery Theatre can contain as many people as were presont there last evening, but the mystery is soon solved when it is recollected that Mrs. Shaw is performing there. The most numerous audiences that the four walls of this theatre ever contained, were those that were attracted thither i. ‘Shop 0} actress.

VauyHatt Gangzn.—Thus far Eaton progresses ad- mirably in bis great undertaking. We are informed that the strictest vigilance is observed in watching him; #o that no complaints can be made after the feat is over. Musical.

Thi announcement. will be gratifying to all who have had the pleasure of hearing them. ‘Tue Swiss Bevu-rincers.—The talent and genius of these unique performers is so well appreciated, that we consider it unnecessary to say a word in their favor, farther than to repeat what we have said of them here- tofore. Every night they are listened to by large and fashionable audiences, and every night they are com- pelled, by the storms of applause with which they are ted, to perform much more than they advertised. ‘his, of course, they do not object to; because they regard it as a compliment of no ordinary kind. They will perform this evening again at the Apollo Rooms, City Intelligence.

Friday, April 30.6 P. M. There was a very decided improvement in the stock market to-day. Nearly all the fancies advanced a frac- tion, and the transactions were to some extent. Penn- sylvania 5's wont up 2 per cent, Farmers’ Loan 3, Mor- ris Canal 4, Canton i, Norwich & Worcester 14, Read- ing %, Harlem X, Long Island 3f. Treasury notes closed firm at yesterday's prices. f At the second board the sales were to a yory limited extent, without any material alteration in prices. It is reported in the street that the Sarah Sands brought £184,486, equal to elght hundred and cighty- five thousand dollars. There is a better feeling in Wall street, and we have no doubt that prices will advance several per cent far- ther before a reaction takes place; at all events, from ex- isting indications, we should judge that it would be dan- gerous to be very short of stocks. We do not look for a permanent improvement in the fancies, but an inflation to some extent is likely to be realized bofore the screws are tightened agsin. The demand for foreign exchange was not very active this morning; and, as we anticipated, rates full off ‘a fraction The closing rates for bills {on London were 6!4a6% per cent premium ; on Paris,5f, 35a5f. 93% ; Am- sterdam, 3943934; Hamburg, 350354; Bremen, 774078. The Bank of the State of New York has declared a dividend of three per cent, payable on the 10th of May. Tho Brooklyn Fire Insurance Co. have declared a di- vidend of eight per cent, payable on the 10th of May. The Brooklyn Union Ferry Co, have declared a divi- dend of three and a half per cent, payable May 1. ‘The lower House of the Legislature of this State has refused to pass the bill authorizing the deposit of United States stocks with the comptroller for banking purposes. This will have a favorable influence upon the stocks of this State; and if banking in this State continues to increase as it has for some time past, it will not be long before our stocks will bein demand at better prices, provided our debt,in the meantime, is not increased. From a comparison of the imports of grain, ke., into Liverpool during the six weeks ending the 29th of March; 1847, with those of the {same period in the year 1846’ it appears that there has been an increase of 55,515 quar- ters English wheat, 121,975 foreign, 2,669 colonial ; 11,- 430 sacks English flour; 944,697 barrels foreign; 9,582 quarters foreign onts; 1,673 loads English oatmeal; 4,245 quarters English barley, 8,042 foreign; 6.018 quarters English beans; 22,534 foreign; 8,143 quarters English peas, 10,982 foreign; 667 colonial; 299,675 quarters foreign Indian corn; decrease, 120,943 quarters Irish wheat, 138,980 sacks Irish flour, 20,196 barrels colonial; 9,673 quarters English oats, 28,770 Irish; 84,775 loads Irish oatmeal, 6,600 quarters Irish barley, 732 quarters Irish beans. On a comparison of the exports for the same pe- riod, it appears there has been an average, coastwise and to Ireland, of 108,358 quarters of wheat, 23,690 sacks and 190,835 barrels flour, 2,276 quarters oats, 10,809 barley, 9,170 beans, 6,335 peas, 253,443 Indian corn; foreign 309 quarters wheat, 6,685 barrels flour, 49 quarters poas; de crease, foreign, 1,513 quarters oats, 22 barley, 2 beans 389 Indian corn.

Tho chief operations in breadstuffs were based upon engagements for future delivery, at full prices for flour, which, on the spot, was some lesa firm.
