Another move has been made in Texas on the annexation question, which pretty plainly indicates that the measure will speedily bejera braced by the people of that country. In ad dition to the meeting of Congress on the 16th of June, (Monday next,) President Jones has issued a Proclamation recommending the citi zens of thai Republic to elect Delegates to a Convention, to meet at the seat of government, on the 4th of July, and decide whether they will accede to the proposal of the United States, or embrace the conditional offer of Mex ico to acknowledge their independence. This, we think, settles the matter. The peo ple are said to be largely in favour of uniting with us, and will elect Delegates to the Con vention who will carry out their views. Ano ther circumstance, which confirms this opinion, is the soniorset which Gen. Houston has turn ed. He lately arrived at New Orleans, on his way to visit Gen. Jackson, and whilst in that city, delivered an address to the citizens on the subject of annexation, in which he assured them that he was in favor of the measure, as was a large majority of the people of Texas, and that President Jones would throw no ob stacles in the way. Another Comet. A new Comet is now visible, in the North eastern part of the heavens, in the morning be fore daylight. It is about fifteen or sixteen de grees above the horizon, very brilliant, with a splendid long tail, and has been witnessed by a number of persons. . These erratic, celestial visitors, have been quite numerous for several years past, and a great deal of interest is man ifested whenever they appear. The present one will no doubt be very popular in a few weeks, when it rises earlier, so that folks may fceo it before they retire to rest. Workiiiffmen's Convention. A convention of workingmen was held in the city of Boston, last week, and was numer ously attended. Among the resolutions report ed, and unanimously adopted was one recom mending the assemblage, in the city of New York, in October next, of an Industrial Con gress, lo consist of delegates from labouring classes of the whole country, so far as they may see fit to be represented, and to remain in session long enough to .consider and mature such measures as may be deemed essential to improve and elevate the condition of the work ing classes. Fourth of July in Easton. We are informed that our neighbors of Eas ton, will have quite a time in their borough, on the approaching anniversary of our National Independence. The Sons of Temperance are making preparations for a grand procession, &c. They will be enforced by th Divisions from Allentown, Bethlehem, Crane Iron Works, Greenwich, and Belvidere. The military will also be out, and several companies from other places are expected. Among them may be named, the Mauch Chunk, Allentown, and Stockertown companies. What will bo done in Stroudsburg? Hot Weather. During the past week we have had some ex tremely hot weather, for this mountainous re gion In Philadelphia, on Sunday last, the Thermometer rose to 98. Expensive Living. Mutton sold at Paris, in the middle of May, for 18 cents per pound, veal 20, and hams 24 and 26. Strawberries brought twenty-five cents per dozen. It would make the people of the Uniied Stales turn if such prices were asked! The Monroe Democrat. Mr. Schoonover made his debut before the patrons and readers of the " Monroe Demo crat," last week. We will notice his Inaugu ral Address, in our next. Important to Owners of Rented Farms. The Bucks County, Pa. Intelligencer, says: In a trial at the recent sessions of our Court, reported in our last, an attempt was made to prove the removal of hay and straw by the ten ant of a farm who was defendant in the case ; but the Couit ruled out the evidence, on the ground that the tenant had a right to the hay and straw raised by him on the premises, in the absence of any stipulation in the lease to the contrary. The counsel for the defendant staled that his opinion had always been, that where no stipulation in relation to hay and straw was made in a lease, the tenant had a right to re move it or dispose of it as he might see proper, it being as much his property as the grain he raised and that it had been so decided by the Supreme Court. Trie Court coincided in this opinion, and under the decision of the Supreme Court rejected the evidence above referred to. This law, we presume, is new to a majority of our farmers, and is exactly contrary to their views of it. It will be well for landlords leas ing farms to bear this in mind, and where they do not intend that the tenant shall remove hay or straw, (which is generally the case,) stipu late its reservation in the lease. The Consequences of War. The following picture from the Journal of Commerce, presents in strong colours the con sequences which flow from war. Let us go to tear. John Bull wants a flog ging let's give it to him. He's insolent let's fio" him. He is spreading his powers in all quarters of the world. His armies are all over the earth, his ships all over the water, and his merchandise all over land and water. Let's flog him. It will cost us a few hundred of ships and a few hundred millions of dollars, and a few score thousands of lives. It will turn society upside down, give rowdies and robbers the up per hand, and entail upon us an aristocracy of military heroes for another half century. All the better for that. John Bull needs a flogging and ho ought to have it. We want a flogging too, and it would do us good. We want bleed ing as well as John Bull, so let's have it. Let us turn to, and have a real Irish knockdown. Who is going to have John Bull set his lions to growling at us across the water? We'll stop his noise, if it is by thrusting our own heads down his throat. Who is going to spend his whole life in merchandizing and manufacturing and lecturing and preaching and printing ? Who wants to hear this everlasting talk about conscience and reason and right and wrong. The world has become slale and insipid. The ships ought to be all captured, and the cities battered down, and the world burned up so that wt can start again. There would be fun in that, some interest something to talk about. The newspapers are not worth reading. The murders they tell of are only one at a time, and the terrible explosions only go to killing half a dozen or so. We want to see men mowed down in long battalions, and artillery trains dragged over them before they are dead. We want to have squadrons of horse trample on men dying but not dead, and see the blood spirt when they tread on living hearts, and see the vultures feed on the richest sort of carrion. Wo want wherever we see a head lo break it ; wherev er a heart beats, to stop it ; wherever there is beauty, to deform it ; and wherever there is or der, to bring in chaos. We can't bear these restraints which are called civilization. " This is mine and that is yours. We want to own nothing, and rob for everything. The world has swung out of its orbit, and come too near to what they call heaven. We want to swing it as far the other way until it comes hard by, if not all over in the infernal regions. If we can do no more, we want to fight old mother Eng land; and flog her, and get flogged ourselves; and then when we are both nigh flogged to death, then make a treaty, and have something to talk about. Francis P. Blair, lately one of the editors of the Globe, is said to be a very ugly man. In referring to the rumor that Mr. B. is to have his likeness taken for the Democratic Review, Prentice of the Louisville Journal says that Blair's likeness would do well on andirons. No child would go near the fire with such an embellishment about it. Two gentlemen the other day, at a public ta ble, got into a vehement dispute upon a subject of which it was quite evident both were pro foudly ignorant. A big bull-dog which had been quietly sleeping on the heanh, was aroused by their violence, and began barking furiously. An old gentleman, who had been quietly sip ping his wine while the disputants were talk ing, gave thelog a kick, and exclaimed, " Hold your tongue you brute. You know no more about it than they do." The laugh of the whole table was turned immediately upon the noisy brawlers. . , . ': - j i'n -. 'ii ; - ' - i i The editor of the Jonesborough (Tenn.) Whig, in noticing the weather, crops, &c. sums up as follows : " All who are able are dressing, out in new clothes of the latest fashions ; and such a primp ing and starching, among the young ladies, no bachelor on earth can stand up against, unless his heart is as impervious to beauty and love, as a Loco-Foco is to reason and common sense. And yet " the times are hard the people are generally in debt weather is beautiful a pros pect of fine crops money is scarce but little honor in the market honesty not to bo found truth an hundred per cent, under par virtue not as abundant as it used to was decency on the decline and Loco-Focoism about as usual, only more so." Pi.ve Apples growing in Wall Street. The largest Pine Apples probably ever brought to this city may bo seen in pots on the pave ment near the Tontine building in Wall street. Their weight is estimated at 20 to 25 pounds, still attached to the stalk, and are now fresh and growing as rapidly as ever. Each plant bears one apple and that springs direcrly from the stalk, surrounded by leaves of elongated, knife-like form. Another Lucky Printer. Mr. John F. Phelps, editor of the Maysville Sentinel, on go ing to the post office the other day, found there a letter from one of his subscribers containing two dollars in cash! He still preserves his temperance habits, and associates with common people as before. The New Post Office Law. The only persons who can receive and remit letters and packages free, through the mail, after July, are the President, ex-Presidents, and Mrs. Madison and Mrs. Harrison. Governors of States may transmit free to each other all laws and reports bound or unbound as directed by the Legisla tures. Except such documents, no package can be mailed weighing more than three pounds. Asparagus. The Reading, Pa., Journal, boasts of some asparagus called the " Olmer Asparagus," the cuttings of which are three limes the usual length, and the circumference of some of the stalks measuring four inches and a quarter ! This is quite astonishing; but then the Journal says that the stalks are as tender and of better flavor than the common kind. The Marble bust of Gen. Harrison, executed by the lamented Clevenger, while in Italy, and purchased from his widow by the citizens of Cincinnati, has arrived in safety in that city. It is pronounced by good judges a work of great truthfulness and merit. A " Benighted" Female. The Frankford (Pa.) Herald says : Our carrier, in his peram bulations in serving subscribers this week, in forms us that in a village or settlement, called Hardscrabble,' Philadelphia county, Pa., he asked a woman if she would like to have a pa per left for her ; her reply was, no, indeed ! we are wicked enough now,!' We regrot to learn that the youngest son of Mr. Clay has become deranged and has been taken to a lunatic asylum. Mr. Clay himself has become a member of the Episcopal Church at Lexington. Nearly 1000 emigrants arrived at New York from Europe, on Wednesday last. To Destroy Flics. A correspondent of the Cincinnati Chronicle gives the following : It is perhaps not generally known that black pepper (not red) is a poison for many insects. The following simple mixture is the best de stroyer of the common house fly : Take equal portions of fine black pepper, fresh ground, and sugar; say enough of each to cover a ten cent piece; moisten and mix well wiih a spoonful of milk, (a little cream is belter;) keep that in your room and youwill keep down your flies. Ono advantage over oilier poisons is that it injures nothing else; and another, that the flies seek the air and never die in the house the windows being open. Females in Coal Pits. It is asserted by an English paper, that the number of women employed in those coal districts where this prac tice prevailed, ia as great as it was before Lord Ashley's Act was passed. The poor creatures must do this or starve; they therefore, put on men's apparel, and work as men, where they before worked as women. Unless the condi tion of the people be bettered, it is useless to meddle with the employments by which they sustain life. When a man is too poor to keep a cow, he ought not to keep more than four dogs and five cats, - . , - ; . ,-., .1 From Florida. We have private advices from Tallahassee to the 27th ult., giving unexpectedly favorable ti dings from ihe election. That County (Leon) with Wakulla elects 2 Senators and 6 Repre sentatives, and though the vote is close, it is believed the Whigs have the whole 1 One let tor says positively that the Whig ticket is in; another says two precincts are tocome in, and the result is doubtful, but a majority of Whigs are elected. Gadsden County has elected a Whig Senator and 5 Representatives by 100 majority laat year Loco. Gov. Call (Whig) runs handsomely ahead, and his election is thought probable. David Levy, the old Dele gate, runs ahead of his ticket, and is doubtless chosen to Congress. . The Legislature is thought to depend on the result in Leon and Wakulla. (Leon is Whig, but Wakulla is Loco.) One letter claims the Joint Ballot as probably Whig by a decided, the other by a small majority. Wo have had lo modify the tone of our correspondent somewhat, for wo cannot yet believe the return of 2 Whig U. S. Senators from Florida probable. It is 'glory enough for one day' lo know that our friends in the new State have mnde so noble a struggle. Room in the ranks and three cheers for the gallant Whigs of Florida! Semi-Weekly Tribune, 7ih. Plan's in use n I a v Capability A Ior- wegiau Kui.ner. In glancing over a paper from Calcutta, says the Boston Transcript, we find an account of a traveller from the mountains of Norway, who has lately-arrived in India, and is announced as a "wonder!" being a-buna fide Norwegian run-' ner, who was about to attempt the discovery of the source of the White Nile, on foot, alone and unattended. He expects to be absent, from In dia only about four months, and ho is to go in a direct line, crossing deserts and swimming rivers. He runs a degree (69 1-2 English miles) and can go three days without food or water, by merely taking a sip or two of syrup of raspber ries, of which he carries a small bottle ; and when he does procure food, a very small quan tity will suffice; but when it is plentiful, he eats enough for three days. This wonderful man carries with him only a map, a compass, and a Norwegian axe. He has already made some wonderful journeys, having gone from Constan tinople to Calcutta and back, in 59 days, for which the Sultan gave him S2000 ; and from Paris to St. Petersburg, in 13 days. He has certificates from the authorities al Calcutta and at St. Petersburg, verifying these extraordinary feats. He is about foriy-five years of age, and slightly made. He trusts for safety in his per ilous journeys to his speed, as he says neither dromedary nor man can overtake him. A Compliment and a Rebuke. The editor of the Charleston Mercury having asserted lhat the "only way to touch the sensi bilities of the northern men is to touch their pockets." Prentice says "The sneer is a ve ry contemptible one. That editor ought to know that it is a very easy thing to touch the pockets of Northern men. Let a case of distress be presented to them, and their pockets are touched at once and touched deeply. No sooner was the distressing tale of the Pittsburg fire circula ted at the North, than the pockets of the citi zens of Philadelphia, New York and Boston were touched to the tune of nearly $100,000. If theie is a way to the sensibilities of North ern men through their pockets, there is also a way to their pockets through their sensibilities "If either the pockets or the sensibilities of the Charleston 'chivalry' have been touched by the Pittsburg calamity, we have not received the interesting intelligence." A While Slave. A few evenings since, says the Boston Eagle, Dr. Channing in the course of his remarks on the slavery question at the Marlboro' Chapel, said lhat not lung since, a man well dressed, and apparently well educated, called on a law yer in this city and requested to have some pri vate conversation with him. They both retired to a room where they were secure from intru sion, when the stranger made known the fact that he was a slave. He said he got tired of driving the coach inside of which were his bro thers and sisters, and therefore had embraced an opportunity offered to abscond from his mas ter. "Now," said he, "I wish your advice in relation to my future course ?" "As a sworn counsellor I can give you no advico in tho mat ter," replied the lawyer, "but as a private citi zen, I would suggest that you might be quite as pleasantly situated in the provinces as else where." The next morning he took a steam boat bound eastward. A true bill for murder has been found against O'Blennis, the desperado, who killed young Frank Combs, son of Gen. Leslie Combs, ai Point Coupee, La., last winter. The New Orleans Picayune st.irpa ,t.. J mil a scheming Yankee has been selling "purely reo elable pills" through the southern country ata great rale.

The prettiest little creature we ever saw, (i Hat couldn't speak and smile) was a Chinese poodle which we encountered yesterday niorniii' 0I board the Brooklyn ferry-boat. It as of a slightly dappled flesh-color, entirely free f hairs, except a little crest of while ones on the crown of the head, and reaching to the eyes which latter, by the way, were of a beautiful Albino pink, curiously mottled with blue. Her shape was that of the delicatest full-blooJeil grey-hound, and reminded you of Hogarth's line of beauty lain down to sleep. N. Y. Tribune, 7ih. It has been decided by Judge Nelson, that if the proprietor of a new invention sells even on of his articles, before he has taken out his pa lent, he thereby loses his exclusive claim; the sale is held to be an abandonment of the in vention to the public. This is a new decision the opposite doctrine having been heretufuro j he,d al lhe Pa,ent 0nice A violent hail storm, says the Detroit Adrer tiser of the 2d inst., passed over the North enj of Grosse Iale, in the river, 15 milns below, on Wednesday last. We learn that the danuod done, for nearly half a mile in breadth, is very considerable. Hogs, poultry, and other animal were killed, the windows of the houses utterly demolished, and growing crops, fruit trees, ol dens, &c. serfously, if not fatally injured, A. gentleman found that eight of the hailstone weighed over a pound. Our friend George Bunn, says the Wescher ter (Pa.) Examiner, of Honeybrook, informs in that while walking through his grainfield, a feu days ago, he noticed a large bunch of rye, which he took up by the roots, and after a careful ex amination found it to contain forty-nine stalks averaging five feet in length, with large headj, the longest head being five inches and the shor test three inches long, the whole of which grew from a single grain.

The Lowell, Mass., Journal says, lhat Mr. Aldridge, Superintendant of the Lowell Lock Company, has lately made a padlock, whicb, although efforts have been made for the last fortnight by a number of persons, yet they have not been able to discover the keyhole. Hj"THE VOICE OF THE PEOPLE," has always been in favor of Sherman's Medi cated Lozenges. They have now been before the public for more than five years, tiling which time they have been used by ministers and laymen, lawyers, doctors, old and young, rich and poor, from Maine to Georgia, and frora the shores of the Atlantic to the Rocky Moun tains. Nor have they been used in vain. Wera all the testimony published which the Doctor has received concerning the good effects ofhn Lozenges, it would form many ponderous booJ. Cases of consumption, spitting of blood, aoi long continued coughs, have easily been sub dued and overcome by their curative proper ties; and worms have been driven away fro-3 the suffering in a way that is almost beyonl belief.
