Te.VAS AND THE BRITISH GOVERNMENT.?A slip
from the New Orleans Bulletin of April 19, brings
advicos that a letter has been received from London,
with intelligence of the most friendly manifestations
on tho part of England, towards our sister Republic
of the South-west. It is stated that the dolay in
recognising Iwr independence, has arisen mainly
from the Canada rebellion, uud the expectation that
Mexico would liavo mado another invasion during tho
last winter. But now, the Canadian difficulties arc
nearly settled; there is moro probability of tho Tex.
ans invading Moxico, than of tho Mexicans invading
Texas; and henco tho advices from New Orleans
leave us awaiting anxiously the further deliberations
of tho British Government. Whatovor bo the result, it
will be full of interest, not only to Texas, but to ourselves.
Whether her independence be recognised or not
' her cotnin<?rcial intercourse with England will bo established
0:1 a most advantageous footing. Texas be.
iaga low, planting country, England will monopolize
lier cotton trade, and exchange in return her manufactures
without paying duty upon them; bccauso it
will be the policy of Texas to establish a free trade,
or, at baast, a very low tarill*. Texas in turn, will
perceive the advantage of receiving goods directly
lrom England, rather than from this eountiy, after
- they have paid an average duty of dd percent.?
Theso advantages she will lose by a connection with
us, and hence slio must infer that it will bo her policy
to remain independent, llor proposition to annex
herself with us will be withdrawn, and all the benetits
to which we have loeked forward from her annexation
will be lost to us. This the Bulletin takes
? in high dudgeon, and roils bitterly against the mistaken
policy of those whose opposition to her union
Willi us, lias deprived us of mu:!i a profitable speculation.
For our bumble selves, we beg leave to
diiFcr. If it is to the advantage of Texas to remain
single* and independent, we hope sh<- may ever do so.
We have never anticipated, and are too disinterested
to desire, any advant. ?:ro f : ' v. L..1 not bo
mutual. If it is to h'.r ;v. t ; iUm a :ys.
tct.i of free-trade, \vc would be the last to desire her
to ho severed from such a system. If English mo
nopoly is to deprive, us of her "immense and valuable
trade," and if such an arrangement be to her
advantage, we say, lot. it go. In line, if by a connection
with us, Texas is to exclude herself from
any source of profit; if she isrin any way, to retard
her own prosperity, wo, ibr our part, would, not only
willingly but cheerfully, resign every selfish consideration,
and leave her to stand upright and alone.

will nourish the flame upon the altar of Liberty, for
the nations who sit in darkness around her. She
will illumine thoin all with its radiations, and be
their alma mater, in tlio arts of civilization and humanity.
Wo have long been grieved to observe how
narrow a slip of the mantle of charity, is axtcndod
over her by her neighbors of this country. She has
lior vices it is true, andhor condition is extromcly unsettled;
but are her vices more numerous, or is her condition
more unsettled, than our own, at tlio termination
of the revolution ? Arc her morals oven now
worse than those of that, section of the United
States, on which she borders > Instead of being
worse, they arc better; and we would remind those
who chuckle over every murder within hor limits,
as if it betokened our own superiority, that tho time
may not be far distant when our constellation will be
blotted from the political horizon, and the one star
of Texas, despised, anhonorod Texas, be the only
boacon to guide tho way-faring patriot to the Temp!a
of Liberty.
Dr. Cooper.?Wo have recently heard an anecdoto
of this gontleman, which we do not remember
to have seen in print. Shortly after tho passage,
by tho Faculty, of a resolution that the students
should all bo in their rooms by nine o'clock, tho students,
to express thoir contempt of the measure, determined
to put their heads out the windows, at the
timo, and just as tho bell stoppod ringing, to raise a
tremendous, universal horse-laugh?or what is better
known by tho hame of "a college smile." They
carried their determination into effect, and nightly, at
nino o'clock, the ears of tho Faculty wore stunned
by the reverborations of thoir "smiles" Mooting
after mooting was held by those functionaries, and at
length, in solemn conclave, it was decided that
laughter was not wrong in the abstract, and tho case
was referred to Dr. Cooper, for final decision. "Ah!
well!" said the Dtf- ??wn >>*? ?! w ????
and let thom laugh on. When they are laughing,
they are only playing the fool, and bo long an they
playing the fool, wo can make ourselveB easy
that thoyaro not playing the devil. Boys will be
doing one or tho other."

ten thousand dollars. We know nothing, personal. 1I
ly, of the' individual referred to, but whoever he is, J <
instead of greeting him with the voice of congro. <
tulation, we would go some distance out of our way, <
to offer him our sympathies. We put no faith in <
(these sudden accessions of wealth. All such as are '
not arrived at through the slow and sure channels 1
of persevering industry, do, in general, far more hurt 1
| than good, not only to the individual himself, but 1
I to the community at large. The reason of this is 1
obvious. The main value of money does not lie in
the mere fact of its possession, or of its ability to 1
procure the conveniences of life. The chief benefits 1
arising from it, .are the habits of prudent forethought
that have been excited during its acquisition, and j
on which its acquisition deponded; the virtues of
self-denial that have boen called up and strengthened
during its attainmeijj. The man who by a stroke
of fortune coines to the sudden and unexpected possession
of wealth, loses all these advantages. He
is without habits of forethought to guide him1
through the plans of an use ill and honorablo economy;
he has no fixed principles of self-denial, for
that virtue has dwelt in him as the offspring of necessity,
and as soon as the nocossity is removed the;
virtue is removed also. His newly acquired proper.!
ty places him in a station that demands an increase |
of expenditure; ho feels that he owes his importance i
solely to his wealth, and this makes him go beyond,
his means to support his consequence; the result is
that his riches speedily take thomsclves wings ac-,
cording to the proverb, bearing with them peace of
mind and evory concomitant joy. This is an every
day picture, and nothing litis contributed so much to 1
heighten its gloom and increase its frequency, as tho
Lottery system of the present day. This system:
involves a combination of evils unsurnnssed bv nnv
^ I
\ corruption of the day, exhibiting an array of con-,
traricties tho most direct, and of consequences tho |
most appalling. In it, success is ruin; it is pre.
sided ovor by a Goddess whose favorites aro licr
principal victims; and they alone, of her devotees,
; are truly fortunato who arc frightened by her frowns,
j into a desertion of hor shrine. Yet even these demand
our sympathies Thrv are generally comprised
among the poorer classes of society, and

many loaves of bread snatched from their famishing

uuubuhuiuk; ho in:iny pairs ot shoes from their perishing
children; so innny blankets, that might
have preserved them from the rigors of winter; and
more than all, in seeking the favors of this polluted
Deity, they have shaken oft* depcnduncc on Him
who hears tho young ravens whon they cry, and, in
righteous judgment, aro loft to the blindness of thoir
' own minds. Their habits of industry havo been destroyed
by calculations upon the liino when industry
would bo unnecessary; thoir sobor souses havo boon
dazzled by golden antioipations; and when they
awake from thoir dream of folly, they ore

or blessed with madness, to shut out from

than lie whom tho world calls more fortunate, ip,
! that in addition to being, brought to tho same j
'condition at last, he bears within him a mil d poi;
soned by his temporary elevation and doubly embittered
by the contrast of his present situation. Not
only has he been a curse to himself but to others. So
soon as his success was announced, he was fastened
upon by a set of harpies, who beset a lottery-drawing
as vultures hang over an army. They lauded
him as the favorite of Fortune, and cheated him in.
to risking more upon her favors, until he had no moro '

for these "horse-leeches" never luck a keen perception
into the ability of their victim to answer their cry
of "give! give!" Yet so inverted aro his notions, that
I lie looks upon their absence as a misfortune. He
considers himself a deserted man, and is loud in his
railings against the ingratitudo of the world. In the
mean time his conduct towards the world has cnti.
tlod him to any thing else than its gratitude. By
his poisonous example he has led others to leave their
honest callings and embark on the perilous sea of
chance, and thousands have been ship-wrecked in
his wake. His own turn comes at last, and his fate
is tho worst. But if by any means, (as is sometimes
the case,) he devotes his ill-gotten gain to honorablc
and useful purposes, it only makos his cxamplo
I toil-fold more pernicious, by giving the enemies of
virtue double cause of gratulation, and enabling them,
with the most dangerous of all sophistry, to exputi.
ate on the apparently beneficial results of a most
corrupt system. The man who, by a turn of the
wheel of Fortune, arrives at opulence from indi-j
genco, stands out before the world as an acknowledged
pauper, who has attained wealth by contribu.
tions levied on the pockets of his fellows; and the
only difference between himself and the tenant of
a poor-house, is that the "poor-tax* has been hoavier
in his bohalf, than in behalf of (ho other.
