was languid with old age: it was on its lastlegs, I may say. .To have seen a set walk-ing through a quadrille, you would havethought them automatons, from the landof JNod, jerking lazily about on wires, andnodding sleepily to each other, like Man-darins on a chimney-piece. But the Polkahas regenerated all : it has infused thespirit of '76 into dancing just as YankeeDoodle, does: it's a lively, frisky, hopand skip, crack-your-heels sort of an af-fair, something like dancing as it used tobe, and awakens vitality like an electricspark. Commend me to those who candance the Polka ! Honor to Count Kor-ponay for teaching it to us. And, then,it's a glorious thing for old maids and wid-ows ; like the sewing circles which youngladies hold, it is a society for the promo-tion of matrimony, admission free: andrefreshments for marrying-men gratis.

Texas.—Gen* Houston"•

Oen. IIOCSTON, ex-President of Texas, ad-dressed a public meeting at New 0rlenrj9 on theevening of tho 28th ult., on (lie question of An-nexaiion. The N. 0 . Bulleiin furnishes the f"l-lowing eketch of his remarks:

The announcement that Oeneral Hous-ton wotjld address the public on the sub-ject of Texas annexation, drew .togetherlast evening an overwhelming meeting.The Arcade has not been so throughlyfilled, indeed, on any occasion since thegreat Texas meeting, thirteen monthsago. . •

Geh. Houston, i» opening his discourse,complained of severe indisposition, butstated that he felt bound to appear andcomply with his appointment as far aspossible, notwithstanding. He then ad-verted to the fact tliflt it was in that hallthat the first meeting had been held isbehalf of the Texians -nhrn strugglingfor their independence, and the ulst meansdevised for their assistance, awl expressedhis gratitnde, and that of the country forthe manifold favors they had receivedfrom the people of the United States, andespecially from this city. He then gavea succinct and accurate outline of the his-tory of Texas, as a department of theMexican confederacy, and of the circum-stances afid causes that led to its separa-tion from that governjnent, showing thatno people had ever ever evinced a moreloyal disposition, or a more sincere andpatient compliance with their obligations,than the Texians, a"nd that it was the for-cible dissolution ofthe Mexican confede-

Gen. H. then sketched the history ofTexas since its existence as a nation,par-Scularly with reference to to a vindica-tion of his administration, recently termi-nated. He alluded to various chargesthat had been circulated against him ofbribery, corruption, and other misdemea-nors, declaring that while he was in officfhe*had never designed to notice ,fhem,and would not speak of them no^, fur-ther than to invite a comparison betweenthe condition of the country, as he foundit at the commencement of his administra-tion in 1S41—utterly impoverished, with-out credit, or any other means of war; itsfrontiers desolated by the Indians, andsubject to frequent inroads By Mexico 5disordered within, and held in no estima-tion abroad—and its present condition.—Gen. H. then spoke of the great naturaladvantages, beauties and attractions ofTexas/illustrating his remarks with hu-mor.

1M conclusion, Gen. H. spoke of thesubject of annexation, stating that he hadshown hia partiality for the measure in1836, and despatched, imffiedia'lely onhis accession to the Presidency in thatyear, a special envoy, to bring the sub-ject before the Cabinet at Washington.—The subject remained before the cabhift,he continued, until 1838, when it wasthought to be contrary to tree policy andto the dignity of Texas, further to impor-tune, and the proposition was withdrawn.The subject again1 slut&bered until he wasagain chosen to the Presidency. in 1841,when he instructed Mr. Siley, who wasMinister at Washingtonj, Wiping' tho sub-ject again before our government; Again,

Texas was treated cavalierly,aud the proposition-.wife not presserl,.un-tu Mr. van Zantlt became tne Texan re-sident in the TJnited States, when he so-licited instructions on the subject of an-nexation, and he was referred to the for-mer letter to Mr. Riley, with directionsto open negotiations, should s favorableopportunity oteur'.

We are gratified to perceive that thisimportant subject is taking hold oftheminds of Boston capitalists. It is deeplyenlisting their attention on the strongground that it would he the cheapest av-enue for the produce of the*, great west toreach Boston. It is calculated that atleast 20 cents on every barrel of flour canbe saved hi transportation, by the Qglens-burgh route. There is also a vast localtrade on that roufe which must increasefrom year to year. The iron region isscarcely yet began to bs developed. Assoon as a Railway traverses SorthernNew-York, those counties will tej-orneas wealthy sfe fhe boti counties 6f Berksand Schuyklll in Pennsylvania!

Facts are now .showing that Railwaysdo more to develope. an iron region thanany other means of inner-communication.The richest ore is of no; service-far awayfrom roads 05 where the expense of trans-portation is a large item in its cost. Ball-ways cheapen transportation-^and alsoinvite observation of the capitalist, and-thus eventually draw capital. Tliat such,would be the effects on Kotlnern' l ew,-"York, no one doubts who is acquaintedwith its extraordinary mineral resources.

It is certainly not agreeable to our statepride tliat Boston s.hc?8td\hav'e Ae crecJitof carrying through m& feonpraple ente»prise of uniting Lake Champlain withQn-,tario.
