LINDER, Esq., of Illinois, was present, and being called upon, addressed the meeting for upwards ot two hours, in a most eloquent and soulstirring manner, calling forth frequent and the most unthusiatic applause. We have seldom heard a more able; politica! speech, and the satisfaction evinced by the large crowd present was trulv gratifying, showing as it did, that the spirit of '40 is still among us, and is beginning to manifest itself. Mr. Linder is the Whig candidate for Elector in the 3d Congressional District in Illinois, and we cannot but congratulate our Whig brethren of that state

on having so able an expounder of their principles.

Among those present were a number of

This organization is decmud feasible and of vital conserpieiiee,- and it is hr.pej that the various county and township committee and clubs will communicate frce'v with the State committee on all important matters, and as to tin dissemination of necessary information.

organization he carried out bv the lost of next

Editors of whig newspapers will confer a favor by giving this communication a prominent insertion in their columns, and by calling the public attention thereto.

This morning the select committee to whom we referred the resolution's concerning the annexation of Texas, reported that they had the same under consideration and begged leave to report the following preamble and resolution in lieu thereof : Whereas, the citizens of Texas have at various times manifested a wish for the annexation of that republic to the United States: and whereas, an enlightened policy would dictate, that the two countries, contiguous in geographical position, inhabited by a kindred people, speaking a common language, producing the same staples, cherishing the same commercial interests, and animated by the same love of liberty, should not longer sustain a relation, that is now separate, and may hereafter become belligerant; therefore, Be it Resolved, That our senators be instructed, and our representatives in congress, be requested to urge zealously and perseveringly, the immediate and indissoluble annexation by treaty, of the republic of Texas to the United States. Resolved, That in the judgement of this legislature, if the desired annexation should not be effected, it will be incompatible with the right, interests, and tranquility of the United States, for any European power to obtain possession of the territory of Texas, or to secure a commanding influence of her council and that any such attempt should he considered by the United States, as a sufficient cause for war. Resolved, In order that expression of opinion may be general throughout the Union, that his excellency, the governor of the state Mississippi, be be requested to forward a copy of these resolutions

to the governors of the several United States, with a request that they may be laid before their respective legislatures. Also, to each of our sentors and representatives in congress, and to the president of the republic of Texas. The resolution embodied herein, in reference to Texas, have passed the house this day; sixtyone voting in the affirmative, and only ten in the negative. J. THE BALL THAT KILLED NELSON. The musket-bail which robbed England of her great naval commander is now in possession of the Rev. F. W. Baker, of Bathwick. It was fired at random from the top of the Redoubtable by a French soldier named Robert Guillermarde, who escaped unwounded, and when his ship struck was taken on board the Victory. The fatal bullet was not discovered until the Victory arrived at Spithead. it had struck the fore part of the hero's epaulette, and entered his left shoulder. It then descended obliquely into the thorax, fracturing the second and third ribs, and after penetrating the left lobe of the Iungs and dividing a large part of the pulmonary artery, it entered the left side of the spine, passed through the muscles of the back, and lodged therein. A considerable portion of the gold lace, pad, and silk cord of the epaulette, with a piece of coat, were found attached to it, the goid lace was as firmly fixed as if it had beer inserted into the metal while in a state of fusion. The ball together with the lace, &c., was mounted in crystal, and silver and presented by Capt. Hardy to Mr. Beattie, the surgeon of the Victory, whose death was announced some time sincee.
