M ACOA GEORGIA T JE L E G R A Our estimate, calculated from every circumstance and iiiConnution within our reach, is, that the crop will clear from 1.300,000 to 1,325,000 bales, giving an in crease on last year of 50 to 75,000. The Atlantic States will export 550,000 bales; their cron was la* 1 year of 493,000.

It must be borne iu mind that Indian hostilities will prevent perhaps so much of the crop from reaching the place of exportation. Mobile will export 220,000 hales, for 198,000 last vear .

It is also stated that the Mexican Government view with distrust, all pledges on the part of the United Stales, in pre serving her neutrality. By accounts from Cnrcpeachy, it appears the report which has beeu circulated, that there were vessels fining out there against Texas, is false.— We hear also by accounts from Tampico, that the state of Tamaulipns. and particularly Tam pico aud viciuity, is in a state of very great ex citement against Santa Anna aud bis advisers.— It is feared that auothor revolution is on the eve of breaking out; so mui-h so, that a body of6000 troops ordered from Tampico '.o'l’exas, were de tained aud more nieu ordered from Mexico, to co-opcrato with them in maintaining the present Government.

From the table referred lo, it appears that the extent of a Rail load fiom Portland to Quebec, would lie 277 miles,—from Wiscassct to Quebec 24G do,—from Belfast to Quebec, 227do. The probable cost of way, $6.350,000,—of the second $5, 423.000, aud of »he third a little more than $4,607,000.

Further particulars of the destruction of the Holland Laud Office by a Mob. From a letter to the editor of the Albany Argus, dated at Westfield, Cbuiitauque County, Feb. 8. “Au exhibition of violcuce took place at May- villc(ihe county seat) on Saturday evening the 6th instant, w hich will serve to illustrate the state of the public feeling in this regiou. It is weil known that the Holland Laud Company have recently sold out tbeir lauds to other companies and that the last sale including the county of Chautnuqiie, except the town of Oharlotre*w made to Messrs. Trumbull Carey aud others. Suspicious haviug been excited with regard to the intentions of the new companies, eouuty and town meetings of the sejtlershavc been held, and com mittees appointed to call upon the agents, add asrertaiu their terms aud general policy. Meanwhile the excitement had reached such a height, that between 7 aud 800 persous assent bled on Saturday, being well organized, and uuder a commander, and marched to the land office, forcibly removed the pillars, stripped off the clap-boards, and turned the frame over iuto the public road. All the hooks and valuable papers of the office, a* well iu, as out of the iron chest, haviug becu first taker, out, to the amount of two sleigh loads, were conveyed about two miles to Rnruhart’s inn aud there burnt.

This ill fated coumry is still in the midst of a civil war, carried on *vi:b the fertility of blood hounds aud tigers. One of Ihce parties has declared that his enemies shall have uo quarter, while the other iu retaliation has decreed that all officers captured of the rank of Colonel, and all above that grade, shall be immediately shot. The laws of war are disregar ded, and personal security consists only with the meaus of selfdefence. Iu pursuance ot the bloody resolutions of the contending parties, several offi cers have been execnled ou both side*. The whole country i* infested with bnuditti, who roh and plunder even to the gates of the city. —Three foreigners, oue of whom was an Amer ican had lately been robbed within sight of the city wall, and the. Amcricnu tv as badly wounded. Later iu the day, a party of inoqntecl men, a specie* of land privateers, rode through the city unopposed, and excited universal consternation. The* inhabitants closed their door* in alarm, nnd the people iu the street Were left to take cate of themselves. After having rode through tho city, however, they departed. In such a state of things there is uo venturing with safety beyond the city walls, nor eveu into the outskirt of the city. The contending armies were approaching each other, and a crisis in the affairs of ihe coun try seemed to be at hand, but wbat would ho the csult it was impossible to foresee. New-York. Feb. 15. The RUthodisl Book Concern,—Tjie meeting last eve ning iq Greelic street, was one of much interest, and its results surpassed our most sanguine expectations. The official proceedings will be shortly published: meantime we state, for the information of the public, that upwards of thirteen thousand dollars were subscri bed. Beautiful Incident.—At a meeting of the citizens in the Mctliodis* church Greene street, held Inst evening for the purpose of taking measures to rebuild the noble structure known as “The Metl odist Book Concern,” very -interesting and impressive addresses were de livered by the Rev. Dr Buugs and the Rev. flir. Waugh, The history of that extensive institution, from the iiifaucy, fifty years ago; its recent means of great and extensive usefulness; and the efficient and salutary nianuer in whicli they have been applied, were disclosed in the most clear and satisfactory man ner, and with the best possible effect, us will be sc»n in the sequel. Iu tha course of his remarks, Dr. Bangs related the following remarkable incident. Among the burning fragments ol hooks and printed sheets which were whirled aloft upon the wings of the flame, and borne onward by those of the wind, was u paga of the Bible, containing the xivth chapter of Isaiah. It was picked up oil the morning of the conflagration a- hout twelve miles distant, oil Long Island, aud before the catastrophe was known which had carried it thith er. Il was indeed a winged messenger of truth, in a duuble sense, for the fact is uo less striking than au thentic, that every word of the page was so marred as to be illegible, save the ilth verse, which reads in the words folio whig: “ Onr holy and beautiful house where our father* praised thee, is burned up uith fire: and all our pleasant things are lui/l^mste !’ We kuow not how the relation of this incident im pressed others, but to us it appeared of striking inter est and beauty. True, there seems no special reason why such n message should have been providentially sent to the man who found it; hut the message teas sent, and all but the message was obliterated by the melancholy occurrence of which it gave such signal intelligence. The leaf was brought over to this city by the finder, and has been placed in one of our hook stores. SJied In this city oh Saturday eVenii: na Ralston, consort of Mr. David ’ aged about 3d years.
