We would pre uise thut the writer of the letter had every opporunity of correct information, and Ihnt whatever he says is entitled to the anost implicit confidence. .O is stated that the most friendly disposi tions were evinced by the British Govern mcnt tiowards Texas. That the delay in receOimsng has resulted mainly from the ontbreakin- of the Canada revolutio-n. Antiher cause assigned for the delay, was lie expecta tion that Mexico wowd have in vaded Texas doring the past winter--the (oovernment believing that if ever an inva siou wajs attemupted, it would he at that time or never. - The writer expresses every confidence of a recogninio this spring, ir 'no invasion by Alexico should take ptiec. It is reinarked further. that tha. Radcleal or O'Connel larty oppose the acknowledgment of Texian in lipndendne on anti-slavery or abolition prin !'iples. 'Phis we see that the fanatical pre judices which induce the northern and east ern moemblers of the Union to oppose the an nextion ofrexas operate against the voiog itejiublic every where-which should'speak volumes to the Southern aned slavehokling Stltei. It night be deumoustrated niih logical certainty, that the annexation of *le-xmas is to themi indispensable: and that !)pon it depends the permanence of slavery instiii ton-4 in the South; otherwise, the in creasing numbers of Northern and Eastern bigots, faatics, abolitionists, and psendo phihianthropists, maay anl will inflict, in a few years. opon the slaveholding States, the sine injustice which simnilarmeasnures have w rosught on Jaanien and oiher slaveholdin. liritish possessions, vi7* abolished slavery and isttblished the abominable apprentice svstenm.

(We see by an advertisement that the Steamn Navigation Companies want vessels to take coal to New-York. The Sirius is the first 41eam ship lue here, and she is expected on iuesday.) Important Invention.-A New A.rle for Rail Road cars lis been invented by a Ilr. Childs. by which the friction of tho side or flangs of the wheel and the strain oi the axle at short turns, are almost entirely pre vented. We learn by the United Si nens Gazette, that mhe iivention consists in a socket axle, fastened tio the right hiand wheel and exten ding to the nave of the other. The main axle is fastened to tie left hand wheel, and exends itrough the socket and the nave of Ihe right hand wheel, but is fastened to tie itier. This invention allows the wheel to play on at eurve, %w ithout straining fie uxle; anid even shoild the oxie he broken, the car would not fall, as the socket would sustain the axle. though eitirely parted.-N Y Star. The Sirius.-The wharives are crowded w ith anxious gazers for the Sirius steam ship, hourly expected. We think the cal entlaisons of' he-r speed are so'anewhat exag gerated. Shte was to have sidled on the 2d from Cork, and from all experience we should say that under the most favorable cirsenimsiances ite seam ship cannot make clear nore thani eight nots per hour, which im) a listaimce ofin fll three thousand twiles, wold requiire 16 days to.cross the Atlantic, and the expermient. at that time, would be a very fine run, because it could always e relied upon barring accidents of course.
