MAt NEIGHBORS' RETORT OF HIS PRO CEEDINGS IN NEW MEXICO. The steamer Maria Burt arrived at Now Orleans on Saturday morning from Galveston bringing jour nals of that city to the 25tli instant. Heavy rains have fallen in the interior within the the last YWo or three weeks. The Washington Ranger says : Tho Brazos has token a second rise. Tho river is how as high at it wbs a month since. The planta tions of Col. Walton, Major Brown, and Messrs. Lockhcarts, ,we regret to say, are again overflowed. At Ban Aotordo the same excess of water has fal len, ruid the river, on one occasion rose live feet in a day— a thing beforo unknown there. The Austin Gazette says; We have had rain for the Inst ten consecutive days : and no mall fromilouston for nearly two weeks. We learn from Captain Conner, who arrived here on Wednesday from the Waco Village, that much damage has been done by thu high waters in Brushy and other streams running into the Brnzos. Several plantations had been overflowed, houses swept off, and when Captaiu Conner left, the belief prevailed that a family by tho name of Ollpbant, re siding on Brushy, had been drowned. A letter from Bastrop says that the prospect for the crops is good in that quarter, notwithstanding the rain. The SuntaFc affair is causing a good deal of ex- citemcntin the country. Tho Austin papers contain Maj.,Neighbours’reports, and tho proceedings of a mass meeting held at the State Capital, Chief Justice Hemphill presiding. Maj.Neighbors says thut most of the opposition ho encountered at Bantu Ko came from Judge Houghton, acting Supreme Judge ot the District of Bantu he; the District Judges Otero and Bobion, and the clficcrs of the U. S. army. Colonel Monroe, tho military commnndunt did not at first op- E OSO the organization of the country openly ; but La proclamation fora convention soon followed tlie insurrectionary appeals of Houghton and others. Maj. Neighbors says of the movement in favor of a State Government: At the meeting in Santa Fe, Mr. Cunningham, U. S. Paymaster, presided, and Mr. Ellison, the Govern or’s Private Secretary and Interpreter, acted as Sec retary, and Judge Houghton was the principal spokesman; and out of the ono or two hundred persons present, a large portion were the employees, of the Government, in the Quartermaster’s and other Departments. 1 have no hesitation in saying that this movement is entirely one got up by the officials in that territory, and not a spontaneous movement of the citizens. I am credibly informed thut the reported meetings in other places were of the same cast Orders were issued to the Protects by Judge Houghton, and tho petitions to the governor for a convention was tho result. In my intercourse with the citizens of that territo ry, I became fully convinced of the fact, nnd I believe there is not a person in New Mexico, if divested of prejudice, but what would coincide with mo injthe be lief that to do away with the opposition ami influence exercised by the United States authorities, Texas could at once and without difficulty establish and ex orcise jurisdiction over the whole of that territory. 1 find many of the leading Citizens willing to ac knowledge our claim,and a lurge portion of those most opposed to us have and now hold large grants of land that they acquired from the Mexican government a short time before the war. So soon as I ascertained that Col. Mutiroe, regard less of the claims of Texas, had issued his proclama tion for a convention, I deemed it unnecessary to re main longer in that territory; as I could in no way benefit the State by so doing. He accordingly protested solemnly, in the name of Texas, against the attempt, sanctioned, sustained,and promoted by the proclamation of Col. Monroe, to rob her of her territory, and took his departure. territories or oxcluded, by tho effect of the , waB a plain spoken man, and ho mast be allowed to Ranh, No. 11a Ray-street. say that the committee of thirteen, when they met, a:— ~—= — faund this very difficulty.

Washington, June 30,1850. Caucus of the California Immediatcs—Strength and Views of the Free Soiiers—No Majority Either Way—<Determination to Tress Admission—The Money Give Out—Wrong Calhoun Speculation. We ahull seo, to-morrow, whether tho free soiiers have tho strength to carry into effect their resolution of Friday night. In the first pluce, it is to be settled Whether the House will consider the Galphin report or not. It is the special order, but the House will lose a fortnight If they take it up. This interval will afford time for the Senate to puss, If they can ever pass the adjustment bill. At the meeting on Friday night, of meinbera of the House favorable to the im mediate admission of California, separated from all other questions, the free soiiers took the lead—Mr Booth, of Conn., in the chair. The principal speak ers were Messrs Giddings, Wilmotand Wentworth The subject of the rules of the House was discussed, and tho question whether the Southern anti-Califor nia minority can, by parliamentary experiments, pre vent the passage of- the California bill. Tho principal difficulty that presented Itself to the meeting was in regard to their first means, i. e. a. practical majority ; and, In fact, there Is no reason to believe that the California immediateB have a ma jority. If they have, it must be of a patient nature, and as it has waited from Junuary till July, it may be content to wait from July till January. Mr. Git - dings stated that under the same rules, he with minority made a stand against the Texan annexation measure, and were beaten in four hours. Mr. Wil- mot sold, if you wiUgivomo a majority, I will cn sure the passage of the bill in three days—notwith standing the efforts of the minority. The forty-five members present at the caucus agreed to press the bill, and to sutler nothing to interfere With it—not even the Galphin. They have, I imagine, reckoned without their host, I do not believe they will find a practical majority ready, at this time, for the contest. Many will be disposed to wait for tho notion of tho Senate another •week. The plan of the majority, if a majority be found, will be to tire out tho minority, by refusing to adjourn, and if necessary, making a continuous sit ting. The majority can relieve guard, and take the night watch by turns—while (he whole, or nearly the whole of the minority must be present. After all tills fatigue, the bill, if it passes, will go to the Senate to be laid on the table. Many of the friends of tlie adjustment and n number of its Southern opponents, forming a majority of tho body, wil) lay it on the table or reject it at once. This day ends the fiscal year, and the Secretary of the Treasury will pay our no more money—if any he has—till Congress pass tho appropriation bills. When that will bo no one can undertake to say. The appropriations for the year are exhausted, in most instances, and the Secretary will not make any more transfers, or pay anything out of the surolua fund. Some controversy lately arose in tlie Senate as to Mr. Calhoun’s opinions on the subject of the Mis souri compromise. It has been erroneously stated that Mr. Calhoun desired to speak agniu for the pur pose of spolluigthe adjustment bill. The committee of thirteen had not been appointed at the timo when Mr. Calhoun expressed that desire.

The Boston Transcript says that at nrecent, though informal, Convention of highly respectable Ladles of that city , the following resolutions were proposed, discussed nnd adopted nomine contradicente .- Resolved, That we approve of fa-hiun, nnd tlie cli mge of fashion—so .far ns it is lioceasJry to eneourjigo the artist, nnd to elevate tlie standard of true taste. Resolved, That in making chan-res, however small, it is our duty alwuys to insist upon undoubted improvement. / Resolved, That all fashions In any degree objec tionable, Hhould lie improved without four or hesita tion, and without delay. Resolved, That it is a self-evident truth—that all garments should be made subservient to tho wearer, and not tho wearer to tlie garment. Resolved. That long'dresses are provoking obsta cles to convenient walking -, nre literally broom* in dry weathor, nnd mops in wet weather ;—nnd, that it is tlie.duty of all ladies to propose, and gentlemen to ncoUrage n change of fashion, in this respect, so that our sex may enjoy the comforts and healthful advan tages of all proper exercise without restraint, and without a sinful exposure to tlie injurious effects of mud and water to our feet and ankles, and soro vexa tion to our tempers. (w special correspondent informs us that the foil *inProviso wus ottered to tho last, resolution, but was rejeeted alter a very excited debnte. Provided, That nothing in this resolution shall be so construed as to prevent ladies from wearing long skirts, who from a sense of delicucy or other cause may see lit to adopt them. The Proviso, says our correspondent, was at first warmly supported, nnd such was its popularity that the friends of tho original resolution were not with out apprehension of a defeat, despite their powerful arguments'and parliamentary manoauvering. But the short skirts wero not without able nnd zealous friends among the younger members of the Conven tion, some of whom spoke beautifully and eloquently in their behalf. One young lady, in p articular, distin gulshed herself in the debate,and it was doubtless ow ing to her address tlmtthe Proviso was defeated by a unanimous vote. In tlio course of her argument sho remarked that she was not to be deceived by the art ful wording of tlie proviso. She well understood why “a sense of delicacy" was lugged in to cover the “other cuuse." She well kuew the true meaning of that “other cause." A sense of delicacy had nothing do with tlie matter. Sho trusted she had as deli cate a sense of propriety as any other lady in tho room, and yet she could see no reason why a sense of delicacy should require ladies, in this weather, to be the street sweepers of tho city. She did not approve the extremes, even to tlie points of the toes, to winch some ladies carried their “ sense of delicacy.” For her own part, sho saw no impropriety in allow- ing her feet to bo seen—(here the speaker wns observ ed to stamp the floor with her most exquisitely form- id foot)—she was perfectly willing to let tho world see that she had been provided by nature with feet, nnd that she used them in walking; and if in walking „ should be discovered also that shc had ancles, she "could assure tlnT meeting that she would not feel the least disconcerted by the exposure. There was too much fastidiousness among tlie sex; it was mawkish, ridiculous ; and, for one, she was nshnmod of it She was aware that some hr.d private reasons for voting for this proviso, but she congratulated herself that she did not belong to that party. She hoped tho vote would be taken, nnd she would be satisfied with tlie disclosure which that vote would make, assured as she was, that no lady tclio had ancles Jit to be seen would vote for the proviso The last remark settled the fate of the amendment. The ayes and nnys being called, not a vote was record ed in its favor, the mover declining to answer when her name wns called. M"fco„ M,a .

If you have seen the place, you may have noticed a crack runs around tlio Rock on tho top, at about the same distance from the edge, but turns in shell a direction at the ends that the Rock is bound to its place, until one of the ends shall give away. This crack stands full of water, nnd on tlio back part is now about two inches wide, and each winter’s frosts increase its width. The portion of rock at the opposite end from the Fall, appears hard ly adequate to the support ot such an enormous mass, and when to this immense pressure, we add the almost irresistibly expansive power of freezing wa ter, is it unreasonable to supposo that it must soon give way ? L. G. 11c It is now some five years since wo were at Niagara, aud our recollection is not very clear in regard to tiie character nnd extent of tho cracks alluded to by the writer of tho above communication. We remem beri however, that^here are fissures in thc rock aliov and below, as there are in almost nil large bodies of rock. In passing under the sheet of water to Termi nation Rock ns it ia cnll*:l,.wc remember observing large crevices in tlie rock which is tho bass of Table Rock, in which Iron burs had been driven, to which wo were told chains had been fixed as a sort of balus trade for persons to bold by. But we remember the impression received ut tho time of the immense etrenjUli of that mighty muss of rock which jutted over us, and ironi which tho torrent of waters plung ed into tlio dark abyss below. To form an adequate idea of the magnitude and strength of Table Rock, one must pass under it, and tile flood which it sustains and which it has sustained for centuries. That it may give wny, we do not pretend to say, ns all thin; must perish, but we think it will take some more potent personngo than Jack Frost to disturb tlie foundation of Table Rroclt. When it does fall, it will destroy the Great Water-full, nsits arch alone sustains the cataract ou tho British side.—Ed News.
