toierreu.
By a gentleman who a rr FvecTffQ m Houston this morn-

the Steam Boat Albert Gallatin left the harbor of Gal-
veston for the purpose of towing in a schooner outride
the Bar. that she run aground and was totally lost
with several persons on board of whom it is feared
that Captain Sterrett was among the number. fQ t
' A bill was introduced in the Senate Wednesday last. N

FROM THE WEST.
n3 We are indebted to the courtesy of the Hon.
Win. L. Hunter of Goliad for the following extracts
from letters from the West : ' f
r Victoria Dec. 16th 1841.
"Thomas Thompson has arrived from Mexico and
I am told says he was at Dimmitt's burial and that he
certainly poisoned himself with morphine. I also
learn that some Rio Grande Mexicans who are now in
town state that they saw a part of our Santa Fe force
on the march to the city of Mexico. 1 did not get
this direct from the Mexicans but second or third
handed:"
83" Our readers will perceive that the statement of
the Mexicans if such a statement was made is im-
probable because there was no likelihood that Rio
Grande traders should have been oh the route from
Santa Fe to the city of Mexico

Another letter.from Victoria diited Dec. 24th 1841
says :
" Dear Sir We received by express this morning
from.Capt. Carnesi of the Westernrjyjcmpany that
he has captured'the advance guarcl of a party of four
'hundred Mexicans under the command of Captain
Gonzalez who is now within forty"miles of Kmneys
' Ranchb"and expected there every day. He has called
S on us at this place for assistance but I am veryjnuc'h
afraid that we can give him none. I have tried all
day to raise some men. but rmd very few inclined to
go. some say mey ao not Deneve me reports ana
others say if we do go we shall only be censured for
our pains."
