New York Marine Co cm. A steerage passenger, lately arrived from London in the hip Greenock recovered fifty dollars d.miges on Tuesday in this court, fiom the male fthat vessel. From the statement of the captain it appeared that several invalid passenger? had been assigned to a separate aparlmenl, which the other passengers were forbidden to enter. One of the passengers whose wife was nmonsr iho sick, requested plaintiff to visit her, and administer soda water. While doing this the defendent came down and ordered the plaintiff ou., at tlie
same time striking him and kicking him after lie was down. The judge chargtd the jury that a pnssenscnger on board a ship is entitled to the same protection as on land, and that the m ite has no right to inflict punishment under any circumstances. A verdict was accordingly given for the plaintiff with damages as above.

ANGLO-SAXON COXQU ESTS. Some of the ultra advocates of the war in
"Texas begin to entertain anticipations of farther and more splendid conquers. Tlie Grand Gulf (Miss.) Advertiser says: "As it is pretty well understood that tlie uprise of Texas is based upon the downfall of Mexi-o. there will be no luck of volunteers, particulrly in the autumn, when there will be an open! oad to the ancient city of Montezuma.'" What a line chance will be presented to adventurers and discontented loafers lo better their conditions when the. road is opened to 'the ancient city of Montezuma!"' What treasures of gold and silver plate, of ingots and jewels will they not ransack? I'ndcr the guidance of some modern Cortex, what stores of glittering plunder will repay the "patriot .and the chevalier" for embarking in the cause .of "liberty and philanthropy !" After we shave conquered Mexico, cc put all the bloody
Mexicans to the sworu.it will he an easy matter to subdue Guatamala and Colombia, and
to construct a rail road across the isthmus
