with Sir Itobert Peel, in his recent
free trade measures:

Some of our Locofoco contemporaries

account of the conduct of the Clergy in
freacbing upon War and Slavery. It
via be remembered hat Mr. Polk in his

freedom of speech and of the press,
where his own conduct was concerned,)
and was duly echoed by his partizans
iurottgnout the land. These matchless
democrats have evidently takcu lessons of

On the 3d instant a mail aruved at. ve
ra Cruz from Jalapa. The lioletin de
las Nolicias was received by it as late as
the 30th of July. This is a .little paper,
thoroughly Mexican, published in Jabpa.
From it we learn more particulars of Gen.
Pierce's inarch through that town than
had before been received. The Boletin
says that the train -which the General es
corted passed by without halting, but he
with 300 lragoous entered the city and
addressed the following note to the Cor
poralion:
"Jalapa, July 26, 1847.
"To the Corporation of Jalapa: A
brigade of the American army, encamped
near Jalapa, are in want of provisions.
I therefore ask this Corporation of Jalapa
to furnish, at a reasonable price, all this
brigade is m need of. I will take tiie
necessary steps to protect those who will
furnish those provisions. If, at two o'
clock this evening precisely, the provi
sions demanded are not forwarded, all the
members of the corporation will be sent
to Pcrote as prisoners.
'F. PIERCE.
"W. K. Van Bonlin, Brigade Q. M."
The reply of the members of the cor
poration is very indignant at whatlhey
consider the harsh language of the Gen
erul. They made no difficulty about the
provisions; these could have been h;rt5 t
reasonable rates without any threat. They
deplore their unfortunate position, being
deiencclcss. This, they say, should have
protected them from insult. Gen. Pierce
is the first American officer, they s.iy,
who has thus had occasion to find fault
with them.
The Vera Cruz Sun gives the fallow
ing summary from the Boletin: ,
. "The Boletin says that a Mexican was
encountered by a party of guerrillas, and,
bciug auspicious, he was required to un
dergo an examination; but, having offered
resistance, lie was killed. Three large
packages, contaisiug letters from the offi
cers of the army to their friends in the
United States, were found in his pos
session. The Boletin adds: 'In said cor
respondence it is slaled that great discord
exists between the volunteers and regulars
of the American army, and that this raay
eause them to fight among themselves.'
That paper is delighted at this, and takes
that opportunity to call the Aaericans
highway robbes,1 Yankees' &c. It
also says that it appears from intercepted
letters that Gen. Pillow and other Ameri
can chiefs are of opinion that the attack
upon the capital will not be successful;
that the commanding officers consider
the capital to be in a very strong state of
defence, as much for its fortifications as
for the number of men who will be brought
into action; and, finally, that the guerrillas
had completely interrupted the correspon
dence between Puebla and Vera Cruz.
"The letters after having been r aJ
were sent to the Government at Mexico.
"Four American deserters arrived at
Jalapa on the 30th ultimo, three of whom
were from Puebla and one from General
Pierce's train. They were to leave Ja
lapa for Coatepec. The Boletin says
that those from Puebla report that the de
sertion was very great from the ranks of
the American army, and that seventy
three deserters were advertised in one
day at Puebla. The one from General
Pu rce's train is said to report that wagons
lull of sick follow him. Wc do not be
lieve one word of this."
The Boletin further says that the in
ducements held out-to Americans to de
sert are not enough, that if the Govern
ment would promise - them money or any
other rewards, Scott's army would be de
stroyed. It counsels the Governors of
States to take measures to foment and en
courage desertion.
The same paper savs assassinations
are licquent in Jalapa, as well of Amcri-
cans as Mexicans. A smvll ir-jrricnn is
required there
lor the protection of the
inhabitants.

The New Orleans Picayune- has two
letters from Bucna Vista, bnt they con-
taiu no news of interest. They are dated
the 2 Ith and 25th of July. Rumors were
as rue as ever, out iki.cuhuocuw! w.
placed in aem. No signs of tin early
. r . !.- . -
march of the troop3 are mentioned.
The health of the troops at Cuena Vista
was not good. The deaths were princi
pally confined to the North Carolina regi
ment, which kad lost fourteen men in a
week. The Virginia regiment had lost
three old cases, and the Massachusetts re-
giuacnt about the same .number.
TIIE TIDE OF IMMIGRATION.
England continues to force in self-banishment
multitudes of her unfortunate cit
izens some through improvcrishmerrt-
some through the fear of it. Many who
cross the Atlantic bring large sums of
money with them other are driven out
of the streets, the garrets, and the cellars
of Liverpool, Dublin, Cork, and Man
chester, into crowded, filthy, ill-ventilated
ships, and suffer privations, and from
stench, sickness, vermin, &e. only less
than the imprisoned in the Black Hole,
at Calcutta. 'Tis a .dreadful thing -to sport
with men's lives as the English and Irish
holders of the Irish soil are now doing.
At the Quarantine ground helow Jue
bec, arrived last week the bark John
Munn, Liverpool, 100 dying of fever fifty-nine
dead, and their bodies lowered in
to the salt sea! 452 passengers sailed down
he Mersey. How many of them will
be likely to reach Illinois or Michigan!
The bark Covenanter from Cork, "brought
400 passengers 0 had the famine fe
ver and forty-three had died in the hold
or steerage. The Rosalinda, from Bel
last, had 17 deaths and 474 passengers
the Oilcssa, from Dublin 21 deaths-other
vessels 3 1 deaths. Eleven vessels with
3,597 passengers (less 174 who died at
sea) arrived at Quarantine in three days.
On the 2d and 3d instant other 1,399 im
migrants reached Quebec, and it is prob
able that of 70,000 'and upward, by the
St. Lawrence, at least 50,000 will event
ually settle in the States, or buy farms
from Canada people desirous to removing
hither.
The --Montreal Herald" correspondent
states that the deaths at the hospital there
are Irom UU to IUU a week, ana tnaiine
hospitals at Quorantineare aH fall, and 30
to 40 per day dying. "I learn (says the
writer) that 290 of the passengers of the
Virginius have died since her sailing, and
it is said that very few of her whole num
ber (upwards of 500) will recover. Ab
sentee Englishmen, Scotchmen and Irish
men have got hold of the half of Ireland;
they take nearly all the earth produces,
and carry itofl an absentee Clergy take
all they can get, and the resident Patroons
in nine cases out of ten use the millions
like slaves. Is it wonderful that a feel
ing shonld have arisen in America ad
vers to land monojroly? N. Y. Trib.
The Sickness at New Orleans. The
Delta of the 18th inst says:
"The list -of interments for the twenty
four hours preceeding nine o'clock yes
terday exhibits an alarming increase in
the number of deaths by yellow fever.
Fifty-two deaths in twenty-four hours is
certainly, considering the spareness of oar
population at present, a large number, and
shows the disease has assumed an exten
sively epidemical character. ' That num
ber is about the usual weekly mortality
Tf our city. This time last year, we
think, the deaths in our city did not ex
ceed sixty or seventy a week; at the pre
sent rate they would be 448 per week.
This is truly a frightful increase. The
weather yesterday was pleasant in the
shade, but very hot in the sun. The
southern wind blew fieely, and altogether
the atmosphere was not cnfavorable to
health."

Science fox the Kitchen. ProiVs-
sor Liebio, in a late letter to Professor.
Silliman, says:
"The method of roasting i? obviously
the best to make flesh most nutrieioi!.
Butit does not follow that boiling is to Le
interdicted. If a piece of meat be out in
cold water, and this heated to boi!!-;, and
boiled till it is "done," it will bel-ome
harder and have less taste than if the same
piece had been thrown into water already
boiling. In the first case, the matters
grateful to the smell and taste go into the
extract ihe soup; in the second, t!ic al
bumen of the meat coagulates from t:.r
surface inward, and cvclopes the in tenor
with a layer which is impermeable to wa
ter. In the latter case, ihe soup will he
indifferent, but the meat delicious."

customer was so well satisfied with his
bargain that he has not been seen at the
same store since.
