Senor Cuevas seems to forget that the perfidy and cruelty enacted by Ifs countrymen in TIV3I B / 1 have tarnished all the fame they could ever boast of--that all the brightness of their escutcheon, is hidden by the blood of brave, bold men, treacherous- I* shod. It would be a "large economy" in Senor Peeves to preserve the "name" of Mexico "unepot• ted ." ['The new editors of the Nladisonian complain thatsome of the brethren of the corps cditotial, are in the habit of borrowing et iginnl notices from their pa per without giving the proper credit. They appear to be very much annoyed by this system, and threaten to decline an exchange with all who practice it. We apprehend that Mr Dow would find the remedy more vexatious than the evil of which be complains, fur i f he wIH cut the aoquaintance of all the papers that "trade on borrowed paragraphs," he will find himself left with a_ yeti meagre exchange list. As there are sw7tral other p, published in the country besides tio Maim..mien, we do not believe the means by which , he I:Fig:wows to reform the literal) , peculators would be effectual, and he will find, after a little time, when the `•wear and tear" of editotial life renders his conscience lea sensitive, that it will be better to retaliate and bor rowtheir bad paragraphs— aritkoul credit—a+ theonly available recompense for the liberty they take with his good ones.

LYNCH L INV Ann MURDERS Is MISSoURI.— Two young men, of a family named Turnbull, residing in Lincoln county, Missouri, being suspected of being horse thieves and counterfeiters, were recently attack ed in their father's house, by a band of men said to be composed of the most respectable ci tizens, styling them- I selves "Regulators," with the intention of punishing them under the Lynch code. The door of the house was broken open with an axe, after an unsurcessfol at tempt to fire it when a general fight ensued. A young man named Davis was killed; another named Norvall or Norris was stabbed in the head, from the effects of which he was not expected to lice, and a third of the attacking party was wounded slightly. One of the Turnbrlls was shot in the neck, and wits dying at the last accounts. The other was shot in the thigh, and was not expected to survive; they are both young—one a boy, IS or 16 years old. Great excitement followed throughout the county, and threats wore muds that the whole Turnbull family should be exterminated The Lynch code was also pet ii force in Scutt county, Missouri, about three weeks since, a gang of robbers and incendiaries being adjudged to receive one thous and stripes each, to be adminstered is "broken doses" for several successive dais. RAt , iNrn TUE Wiar.—We learn. says the N. Y. I Journal of Commerce, that the Phrnnix Bail, at Hartford, was a few days since, relieved of $15.000, by an individual who left as collateral a package which he represented to contain • large amino; of New York broken bank bills, and to have been sealed by the State Comptroller. He said be would open the package, were it not that by se doing the bills would cease drawing interest. He however made a small opening at one end, sufficient to show that Bank bills were within. The bank officers, having some know ledge of the man, were induced to believe his story, I arid gave him bills of their own Bank to the above amount, which he said he wanted to circulate in Ohio. The long and the short of the matter is, that some cir cumstances having soon after thrown suspicion upon the transaction, the package was opened and found to contain little cite titan waste paper. the few bills in cluded in it, being of small denominations. A requi sition has been obtained from Governor Baldwin, of Connecticut, upon the Governor of Ohio, or New York, or both, for the surrender of the accused. Spiritual Comfort.—The Rev. Arthur Fane, Vicar of Warminster, writes in the following terms to a par ishonier,nged eiglity,on the death of his wife : 'Haynes, I understand your wife has died so awfully sudden as others of your family. She had died in awful and damnable heresy, which renders it impossible for her to be buried in the churchyard. I refuse her burial there, ' If you choose tohave her buried without any service you may do so—and least I should appear to deal harshly with you, I will pay the charge for her burial in theunconsecrated ground at Townsend, but in the churchyard, with the burial service, she shall not be buried. I trust Almighty God may open your eves to repentance, if such a thing may be, but I fear. Haynes, you have sold youa Savior for thirty pieces of silver, Warminster, March 8, 1845. ARTHUR FAN E." The pool woman's "awful and damnable heresy" is that she is a dissenter. Mr Fane's bishop says the vicar "has exceeded his antholitv and may be compelled to bury the deceased.' “BALTIIIOIII, April, 24,1245.” From the Globe. WAR WITH ENGLAND The affected contempt for the.powerof the United States whicirchareotsrited the Nisi,h press during ' los 7wer•—whieh contributed in so great a degree to tame it, and tocondnue it, by inspiring ethat people with the idea that we should be an easy pr ey--is vow: again - strikingly manifested in the British Journals.— The insolent tone of the British public towards es is / not remarkable when we consider the medium through which alone they regard us. Regarding us alone asl depicted in the contemptuous and abusive language of their press, not one of which ever attempts to present the American side of questions, and without a voice in the land raised to defend us, they' can' only he taught respect byevests se striking and notorious as to defy the arts of :deception. We gave them some lessons of this character in the late war, when, after defeating them by land and see. they 'finally discover ed that we had something more than ^three .frigates for a navy and two regiments for an army." That generation has now measurably passed away, and at the present seem again possessed of the idea--at least their public journals end public men have been assiduous in inculcating it—that we are without an army or navy; tat we are weak and cowardly; devoid of public spirit and patriotism; as a nution, intent only on plundering the feeblest nations, and, as individuals, equally bent on knavish acquisitions; and so distrac ted among ourselves, that the Union is but a "rope of sand;" and that we are hardly a match, if resieturce be made to our lawless aggressions, for the turbulent and effeminate Mexicans. It is only torpriaing that, with such opinions, they hesitate a moment, when we offend them—as it seems we have of late—to send over a handful of men, and a sloop-of-war, and put an end to out iniquitous govern. ment. It appears, however, that they deem some preparation necessary for this excursion, and though we do-not merit Finch consideration, they are going to considerable additional expense in this outfit, over and above :heir usual costly equipments, although they do not so far honor us as to declare the filet. We believe, however, that when Sir Robert Peel recently declared that the government was prepared and re solved to maintain their claim to Oregon, he referred / to the additional ten millions lately added to the navy estimates, and the additional number of four thousand seamen ordered to be enlisted as a part of the prepara tion. What other occasion the British government has for this increase of force, at a time when her rein.
