RScxico and the United Stales. The uncertain relations lately existing be tween Mexico and this country, still continue. At the latest dales, the Mexican Congress had adjourned without declaring war against us, 'hut had authorized a large loan for the purpose Ktf'raising money wherewith to carry on hostil ities against Texas, for the purpose of again Mibduing that province to its allegiance. Should this be attempted, it may end in a rupiure wilh the United Stales. The Warren ITCurcIers. We have prepared a reply to an article in .last week's Belvidere Apollo, on the subject of the Warren Murders, which is deferred until next week. The Proposed Rail Road. "We have lately given place in our columns 1o several able communications on the subject of the proposed Rail Road from Philadelphia to Carpenter's Point, along the Delaware, to inier seci, at the latter place, the New York and .Erie Rail Road. The subject, we are glad to Jearn, is beginning to attract much attention in Philadelphia and New York, as well as at dif ferent points along the proposed route. It is .an important proposition and deserves the care ful investigation of rnonied men in both cities. Lafayette College. A Catalogue of the Officers and Students of Lafayetie College, for 1 844-5, has been polite ly furnished us by a friend. By it we perceive ihat ihis " home institution" is gradually, but buiely, working its way into public estimation and favor. The numbers of the different class es are larger, and the institution generally in a more flourishing condition than at any previous period. Canal Commissioner. The last Harrisburg Intelligencer says that arrangements have been made by the Whig Slate Committee to bring out a candidate for Canal Commissioner, at the earliest day. Next week, probably, we will be able to announce his name. A Nominee. The locos of Carbon county have nominated Col. William Lilly, of Parryville, as their can didate for Assembly. The Colonel is no great shakes," and will not cause the Capitol at Harrisburg to tumble about the ears of his as sociates, either by his eloquence or wisdom. Eastoit Items. The Address before the Literary Societies of Lafayetie College, was delivered on Tues day afternoon last, by J. Pringle Jones, Esq., of Reading. A friend writing to us says it was a very superior production. The beautiful Steeple of the German Reform ed Church has just been re-painted. The Whig says it looks better than ever. The locos will hold their Delegate Election on Saturday afternoon, in the several wards of the Borough. Death of Judge Story. The eminent jurist is no more ! The bright est ornament of the legal profession has been taken from us. Joseph Story, L. L. D., one of the Justices of the U. Stales Supreme Court, and Dane Professor of Law in Harvard Univer sity, expired at his residence, in Cambridge last Wednesday evening, at a quarter before nine o'clock. His pulse ceased to beat, and his bands were cold, before eight, P. M. His disease was stoppage of the intestines, or stran gulation, the same sickness which ended the life of Mr. Legare in Boston in 1843. The Boston Courier says : " Judge Story was 65 years of age. He graduated at Harvard Uni ver bify in 1798, and was appointed to the Judge ' hhip of the United Stales Court by President 'Madison in 1811. He has filled a high office in the judicial service of his couniry, and a higher station in the public eye, and he has left apace, which will not he easily filled." The Coffee Trade. According io a writer in the Merchants' Mag azine, the quantiry of -coffee shipped from the different places of its production is at present estimated as being 459,000,000 lbs;; of which Brazil furnishes 170,000;000, 'Cuba 45,000, 000, Hayii 40,000,000, and. Java and Sumatra 140,000,000. The import of coffee 'inio the United States was, in 1S21, 21,273,659 lbs.; in 1844, 158,332,111 lbs. The consumption in 1821, 11,886,063 lbs.; in 1844, 149,711,820 lbs. In 4821, the consumption per head in the United 'Siaies was 4 lb. 4 oz.; in 1830, it was 3 lbs. per head-; and-in 1842, 6 lbs. per head. Coffee is now imported 'into the United States free of duty. In England the duty on foreign coffee is 16 cents per pound, and ihe consump tion per head is 'less one-fourth of what it is in the United Stales. Terrific Hailstorm. A most frightful storm of hail and rain, ac companied by thunder and lightning, passed over this village on Thursday of last week, do ing immense damage to the crops, fruit, &c. It is estimated that in this village and vicinity, upwaf'ds of 20,000 panes of glass were broken by the hail. One of Judge Whitney's barns were 'unroofed ; fowls and birds were pelted to death by the hail ; carriages upset by the wind; horses broke their fastenings and ran furiously through the streets ; corn was greatly damaged, fields of buckwheat wholly destroyed ; and miles and miles of fences prostrated. In one field of beans, belonging to Capt. Thorp, 200 bushels it is supposed were shelled by the hail. Altogether, it was a frightful scene, and our on ly wonder is that our citizens escaped without personal injury. One instance of heroism on the part of a little deaf and dumb boy, some six or seven years old, a son of Mr. Gabriel Arm strong, is worthy of notice. He in company with a little girl were absent on an errand, some distance from any house when the storm came on. The girl fainted, from fright, and fell to the ground. The little fellow sal down by her side and with his bare neck and thinly clad bpdy, endeavored to screen his charge from the effects of the storm. In this situation he remained duringthe continuance of the storm, and until they were discovered and relieved by the neighbor. His neck was considerably cut by the hail stones, but happily he escaped se rious injury. Broome Republican. Specie at New Orleans.

The Lexington, (Ky.) Observer gives an ac count of a counterfeiting establishment which has just been broken up within forty' miles of Lexington. G. Y. Robinson was arrested some time since in Columbus, Ga. While sick in prison he made confess.ons which led to the detection of his accomplices in Kentucky. Robinson got his money from John and Wil liam Banton, who lived on a Kentucky farm. At the Banton farm uas found the moat com plete and extensive establishment for counter feiting that is to be found, perhaps, in the Uni ted States presses, one which will weigh five thousand pounds stamps, dyes, crucibles, with a large quantity of metals, and, in fact, every- lihing rtecessary for the business. The Ban- tons were taken to Stanford for trial. A War missile. A mechanic in Cincinnati has just invented a terrific war missile in the nature of a cannon ball, in reference to which the Commercial' asserts with perfect confidence that one war vessel loaded with these balls, and two or three cannons to fire ihem, could sink an opposing fleet of ten sail in as many minutes ! The Paixban guns are nothing by the side of this in vention. It is asserted the inventor has sailed for Europe to tecure a patent there of his in veniion.. Whai iu the world is it ? The Case of Mr. Gough. The New York Express of Saturday nays : " We are truly glad to announce that Mr. Gough has been found and restored to his friends : As there will probably be garbled statements abroad in relation to this matter, we give the accompanying account, drawn up for publication by the gentleman (Mr. Hurlbut) to whose house, in Brooklyn, Mr. Gough was taken as soon as found, by Mr. G. F. Hays. "Mr. Gough Found. Yesterday, about 12 o'clock, officer G. F. Hays discovered Mr. Gough at a house in Walker street, where he had been since Friday night last. His own account of himselfis that, after leavjng the Cro ton Hotel, he met wilh an old shop-mate, wilh whom he drank, as he supposed, a glass of so da water, and from that time till he was found he has but little knowledge of what transpired. v '-He is now with his friends, and under the care of a physician, and hopes are entertained of his speedy recovery. " It was not at a soda fountain iu Broadway that Mr. Gough and his -companion drank, but at a shop in some street leading out of, or cros sing Broadway. Mr. Gougb, as has been pre viously stated, left the Croton Hotel, and went to the store of Messrs. Saxton & Miles, where he transacted some business and left passing Coleman's, he slopped to look at some prints in the window, when he was accosted by an old acquaintance and shop mate (a book binder) who accosted him, and asked him what he was doing now. " 'I am lecturing on temperance,1 replied Mr. Gough. " 4 Is not that Tather a poor work?' asked his friend. " ' Why, no ; I think it a good work,' an swered the lecturer. Well,' said the other, 'I suppose you have got to be so pious now that you would not drink a glass of soda water !' O, no ! I do not refuse to drink soda wa ter; and here is a fountain- suppose we go in and have a glass? They were, at this time, passing Thompson & Weller's in Broadway; but, stopping at the door, they saw a large number of persons wait ing round the fountain, when Mr. G.'s acquain tance said Come with me, I can soon take you where you can get a better glass of soda than you can get there ;' and, so saying, led him round a corner to a small shop, where he call ed for soda, something passing between the keeper of the place and the person in whose company Mr. G. had fallen. The soda water being prepared, he drank it, and that is the last that Mr. G. recollects i ill this morning, when he recollects to have heard it said that there was a reward offered for Mr. Gough, the Tem perance lecturer.' Mr. Gough's friends make no charges, as yet; they are rejoiced at having their friend, and the friend of temperance restored to them; and they thank Heaven that he has been preserved. But what course will the public authorities pursue? Will not every person, who has been engaged in this fiendish transaction, be called to ac count? We sincerely hope so. Some strong narcotic drug, probably opium, was undoubted ly administered to Mr. Gough in no small quan tity. His watch, ring, gold pencil, and chain, were all safe, and he had about S70 in money about him. It will be recollected that he had S230 when he left the Croton Hotel. There are yet many things to be called up ; amongst others, (he fact that, although this gen tleman had been missing a week, no tidings were bad of him until a reward was offered for his restoration. But we are in hopes that when the effect of the drugs with which he has been dosed, are worked off, that Mr. G. himself will be able to give some information which will throw more light upon the whole transaction. At present he is quite delirious. "At a late hour last night Mr. Gough remain ed in a very critical situation. He has, no doubt, eaten a very large quantity of opium ; so much that his sysiom is prostrated by it, and is almost beyond the action of medicine. No one but his medical attendants are allowed to see him, nor has he his reason sufficient to allow him to make any explanation further than what, we have given, and which he made known yes terday forenoon. " Mr. Gough was found at a house in Walk er st., and his friends, it is said, refuse to dis close the place ; but the refusal cannot stand when the city authorities take action in the primesis, which they must do speedily. Sixteen Thousand Dollars in Gold Picked up in the Street. -On Friday, in Boston, Mr. J. L. Riddle picked up, in Con gress street, opposite his store, a plain pine box, which upon examination, proved to be five bags of sovereigns. It has been claimed by a Mr. Dorr, who says it dropped from hip carriage. A Warning Who will heed It? The Baltimore American present in the fol lowing paragraph some very lamentable truths: " The overthrow of the Tariff and ihe re-establishment of the Sub-Treasury would bring back upon us ihe scenes of 1837, with bank suspensions, a disordered currency, a bankrupt treasury and paralyzed business. It may be said that it is useless to speak of these things; that a positive knowledge that the results here spoken of would inevitably follow the measures iu question would have no effect with some no influence whatever to draw them away from the onward parly movement. Such is ihe dis heartening consideration which besets the mirufc of thinking men when they look at the political contest of these days. Nevertheless there- is but one course for those who wou)d do their duty to the couniry. Under all circumstances the cause which they believe to be the right one must bo sustained with whatever efforts a resolute purpose and an aideni zeal can sum mon to the struggle. We are all on board ihe same ship. We mut keep her from the break ers as long as we can for if she strikes we must all go down together." The "Malleable Glass" Invention. A paper on the continent mentions the redis covery of malleable- glass, iu Saint Etienne. It is the production of a sort of glass as malle able when cold, as while hot. The Montieur des Arts, says : " This new metal which ere long will be more valuable than o!d, and which the inventor has called Silicon, is of a white color, very sonorous, and as brilliant and trans parent as crystal. It can be obtained with equal ease opaque or colored; combines with various substances, and some of these combinations produce shades of extraordinary beauty. Ii is without smell, very ductile, very malleable, and neither air nor acids affect it. It can be blown like glass, melted or stretched out into long threads of perfect regularity. It is very hard, very rough, and possesses the qualities of mol ten steel, in the very highest degree, without requiring to be tempered. A variety of objects have been made of this Silicon, which are about to be exhibited to the public. A new kind of JLight. A new mode of procuring light has been com municated to the French Academy of Science, which is to obtain and use the spirit resulting from the distilation of wood. Four parts of this spirit are to be mixed with one part of es sence of turpentine. Death from a Pin. Mrs. Mary Eaton, of Farrninghim, came to her death in the following manner : " About three weeks since, being engaged in doing her usual work, she stuck a pin into her thumb, and then put her hands in cold water, which produced inflammation, that was follow by mortification, causing'her death in about 22 days from the time of the accident." Death from the Bite off a Snake. Mr. George W. Frederick, died at Greens borough, Alabama, on the 9th ult., from the ef fects of a snake bite received sixteen hours pre vious. He was in the water fishing when he was bitten. Death Warrant. The Governor of Pennsylvania has issued his warrant for Ihe execution of Jabez Boyd, convicted of murder in Chester county, to be carried into effect on Friday, 21st of Novem ber next. An Execution. Henry G, Green, who was lately convicted of murdering his wife, by poison, at Troy N. Y., was hung on the 10th inst. He confessed his crime, and acknowledged the justness of his sentence. Something Singular. Several persons of the Jewish persuation in Cincinnati were fined $3 each for violating the laws of Moses in keeping open their stores on the Seventh day. This is the first time that the christian magistracy ever enforced obedi ence to the laws of Moses, by those professing themselves to be governed by those laws. A Rich Town. New Bedford contains 12,000 inhabitants, and its valuation is SI 2,000,000, being 1,000 to each man, womnn and child. A Great Turner. Macfarland, one of General Welch's Circus performers, throw sixty-eight consecutive som ersets, at Syracuse, last weok ! This has nov er been equaled by any person not a politician, and by bu few politicians. A discovery, it is said, has been made) at Florence, which will be good news to the Af flicted. It is that the calculi of the human bladder can be dissolved, by an cleci'ro-chemic-al process. Swapping Wives. The Angelica (N. Y.) Reporter gives an ac. count of two young fellows who mutually be. came discontented with their wires, and there, fore made an exchange of their belter haWej thinking, no doubt, this a much better and !& expensive manner of settling their family affairs than troubling the Chancellor. They are rep. resented as being of irreproachable characters and very respectably connected. A New Thino. A new hame or horse col lar has been invented in England. Among the patents recently extended for fourteen years was one for a child's whistle. The manufacturers of Ohio are said already to exceed $20,000,000. manners. Travellers must make up their minds iu this as in other countries, to fall in now and then, with free and easy people. I am bound, how ever, to say that in two most glaring instances of vulgar familiarity which we have experienced here, we found out that both the offenders had crossed the Atlantic only ten years before, and had risen rapidly from a humble station. What ever good breeding exists here in the middle classes is certainly not of foreign importation , and John Bull in particular, when out of humor with the manners of the Americans, is ofien un consciously beholding bis own image in the mirror, or comparing one class of society in ihe United States with another in his own country, which ought, from superior affluence and leis ure, to exhibit a higher standard of refinement and intelligence. WHAT THE " SUGAR COATED INDIAN VEGETABLE PILLS," ARE DOING IX BOSTON. Boston, January 3d, 1845. Dear Sir : You have no idea of the amount of good done here by the 4 Indian Yegktablb Pills," (Sugar Coated.)
