A letter from London givna some interesting facts
in relation to Atmospheric Bail Ways, and their ad-
vantages over those of the ordinary kiu4. The first

''^e.iifty miles ah hour in seme cases. ÑoW fexas,
which produces, spontaneously so many other objects
whioh are only attamed by great art«tid laboi, and
expense elsewhere, is not to be distanced, even by
atmoafpheiic railways. An órdinary waggon, rigged
with sails, at the expense of a few dollars, has been
,jC0($ntly «nade to travel over a road furnished sole*
ly by nature,-at the rate of forty miles an hour, out-
• ■t?ippin¿ the' fleetest horses on a pleasure excursion,
arid "with all sail set,!' papable of a speed Which

although her Interests will prompt ber to 'make
specific offers td England for support and for/ the
means to pay off het* idebt, which cau be aclvie.ved liy
permitting all kinds oi'British goods to enter- upon
the payment of ar smaH duty.i British manufactures
will thus filially be distributed throughout the West
in evasion ofodr,revenue laws. The current of trade
and";eummer.oe will thus be. set against Jus. The
moment Englandoa'iiobtain the supply of that country,
and its increasing emigration, upon favorable tenns,
she wi 11 i iisist upon Mexico* acknowledging the in-
dependence of Texas; thus that important point will
be settled, and 'Texas will be at peace, and bo en-
abled to develope hero.wn resources in her own way.
England bas too much sagacity to accept the transfer
of that Territory while her'cpmmercial policy can be
better secured by great.commercial privileges, and if
the soil of Texas will enable the planter to raise cot-
ton at an expense of: three or four cents per lb,, it
will be the great cotton country of the South, while
British manufactures, paying only.an ad valorem duty
of ten per cent., will cut off thesupply of our Eastern
brethrenl England would not have seriously inter-
fered against annexation, and úie consent of Mexjco
could have been obtained. These two points settled,
Texas would have been a desirable acquisition.—N.

The Fight of the Pandora:—In the Boston Post
we find a full account of the iecent hdrd fight between
the brig Patidora, of Boston, and three Haytien men-
Of-war in the Bay of Azuá. ■ The story :is something
as follows^
The brig Pandora, Capt, Paxton, sailed from
Boston in March laist on a trading adveniiire to St.
'Dom'ingfi. At Port au-PrihPe his^cargo was sold to
Prftáidént 'Réviecé, who stipulated t'heit^ it shóuid be
landed at Attid/ Thence the vessel was to sail, tp
Jacmel to tské im military stores to<'be conveyed for
the usd'of tbé'sPuthetn<iiVÍtfion'tof the ai;roy.
Agrj^abiy t« thlsUhb vessel'Waa loaded arid about
twenty Háytieri sohliers 'were part bf the cafgo.
When Hré vessel got to Azirt; three 'schooners «f War
wece discovered in the offing. 'They belonged 10
