Were it not that there is no motive lor d 'eeption, and, tiie par-uts being creditable people, ire should imagine there ir.ar sinne ruse in this nry ejrtraoriliary hffair, which is causing considerable e.xeitemeni in N'mieaton and tile neighborhood. • The New A ork aldermen, who are novi r at a loss in any emergency, huve voted S6OO out ol' the city treasury to pay tiie laxvyers for defending some of their number who are indieted for nialfeasauce in office. These fellows plunder tiie city, and then make the city pay tile expenses ol delimiting them in the Courts. Can otlicj d impudence go further? Sam. Houston, it is said, xx ill urge upon tin’ Sen ;te, at the present ses.iion, his plan of a l’r<>t ctor ate over AL-xico. Hisproject has not gained much strength, xve think, since it was first broached, and it will liardlv receive any substtm- ! tisl support. 1
