A Urge number of females, in all quarters of New Y'ork are now-engaged in making bags to contain grain for shipment to Europe. Tlie price paid Sir making is one cent apiece.

Declike the Offer. The New York Irish Relief Committee decline the offer of Coin. DeKay to take to Ireland or Scotland in the Macedonian, free of cost, whatever they might choose to send in bis charge.

They assign as a reason that, as she the Macedonian was captured from the British during the last war, and the committee doubted tbe courtesy of sending such a vessel loaded with alms to the British nation, especially as she is not rigged, and no appropriation has been made by Congress for tlie expenses of the voyage."

A correspondent of the Boston Atlas thus speaks of her: "She is ugly, ignorant, and bad nol Byroo drawn inspiration from the wells of her beart, would have never attracted notice any where. Really I pity Mr.

Black, or any other intelligent man with such a wife, but understand that be is the kindest of husbands, and that their life is most unpoetically Fire.

Everv ex- rrt.on was made by Capt. Price and the othcera of the boat, and the passengers who retained llieir presence of mind, to afford assistance to those whose fears or whose rashness bad placed them in much peril, and it is hoped that no lives were lost.

Rather Particclar. Somebody advertises in Brooklyn for boarders, but stipulates that the gentlemen must not put their feet on the mantel in winter, nor out of tlie window ia summer, nor use spittoons at meal lime. If single, he must not play the trombone in his room, make love to the servants, nor couib bis whiskers at the table.

Monachan, ol the Subsistence Department, is in command and that he is a dariug and euergelic officer, ihe itizeus of this town have sufficient assurance. When the despatches arrived here announcing Gen.

Taylor's victory, the cannon from both Fort and Ihe Plaza were made to send foith their loudest thunder. The tiring was heard at the Brazos, and the expected attack on Mata-moros jtidsed to have been made. With a spirit deservimi of all praise, Capt.

The Concordia I telligencer, of the 20th in speaking of the state of the river, says "The swollen and swelling condition of the Mississippi, has now given rise to serious fears of an ovenlnw throughout the low lands of the Mississippi. The river, at this point, comes within 2 feet ol Ihe highest mark of 1844, and the rise every twenty-four hours, varies from I to 3 inches. At Bachelor's Bend and other points in the State of Mississippi on the bank of the river, above us, plantei are in still greater danger, fwr there tue water ia within one tool of being up to the memorable mark of lb'44, aad is going closer up to the mark every hour. At the mouth of tbe Arkansas and in tlie ueightiorbood below it, a good deal of damage bas already been done, and this damage will increase to another year of ruin to the planters in the lowlands unless they are relieved by a sudden fall in some of the rivers above. Of ibis, the latest accounts furnish but a poor prospect, for they assure us that the Arkansas Cumberland and Ohio were still riiug and there was still a large body of snow to find its way down the last named river.

Il behooves all planters now to be on their plantations as iu the event of a continuance of tiie rise of tiie water, tlieir overseers will need their counsel." The Shippi.iq Business. The Baltimore Sun-says Commerce is in a most flourishing condition. Many vessels are now earning their own east in one vovatre out.

Tbe Vera Crux papers are only to the 24th February, Irom them the following extracts are made by the Havana journals. All sorts of preparations lo oppose the attack of the Americans were going on at Vera Cruz, where 2000 men from Puebla were daily expected lo arrive.

Gen. Morales, Commander-in-Chief of the troops at Vera Crux, is represented as very anxious that the Americans should commence their attack oa lite city, as be was that with the forces under hi command, and the reinforcements expected he would be able to give ibein a hard fight. The Mexicans were can-fully watching all the movements of the American squadron, and nothing indicated the approachiug of the attack, but they had relitddc information that the troops and several vessels intended to operate in it, were at Loboa Island, here lliey awaited the result of Don Alejandro Amelia's mission, iu order to begin the attack if -the proposals tendered by him ou I lie part of tbe I'nited States Government, were refused.
