The Houston (Texas) Telegraph publishes a lengthy account of the siege of Matamoras, taken from an advanced copy of the Brownsville Flag, of November 28. We condense the following from the Flag's article, omitting merely such portions as would prove of no interest to our readers: On Thursday last, the fight was carried on with great energy, the forces of Carvajal, making some headway towards the main plaza, which is the decisive point. In all Mexican towns, the plaza is the main point of defence and attack; and while that is held, the assailants never consider themselves victorious. In the instance now under consideration, General Garcia is the commander of the city forces, and his headquarters are on the main plaza of the town. His position is fortified by barricades across the streets leading into the square, and by breastworks upon the tops of the surrounding houses. By means of these

It was either on this day or the day before, that the Rojos captured our friend, John Treanor, a Scotchman, but a naturalized American, and put him in prison, because, as they said, he had taken too active a part in favor of Garcia and the Crinolinos. On Friday, we omitted to state, Mr. Etienne Bres, a French citizen, was accidentally killed. On Monday Garcia's cavalry drove back the besiegers. We quote the Flag again: It was on Monday, also, that Mons. Bruzon the Consul of France, under whose flag many Confederate citizens had sought protection, solicited from our authorities that an attempt should be made to compromise the differences, or else to procure a truce, that foreigners might save themselves and property.--Col. Buchel immediately dispatched Captain P. L. Buquor to open negotiations. Captain Buquor went first to Gen. Caravajal's camp, where the proposition was immediately accepted. Capt. Buquor found some difficulty in entering the lines of Gen. Garcia, bu

England's opportunity. --Now is England's opportunity. It may never again occur. Seized; and Great Britain remains for all time the leading power among the nations. Until the last ten years her supremacy was undisputed. Since the conquest of California and the discovery of its gold, a new power has spring suddenly into the advance, and dared to contest with her the precedence in resources and power. For a while, this formidable rival bid fair to make its claim good. Suddenly civil disruption has paralyzed the young empire; and one of the chief elements of its strength and wealth has seceded from the Union. The alliance of this seceding political power is as desirable to England as its association was valuable to the North. The present opportunity offers Great Britain an ally more valuable than that of the whole European continent, ensuring her predominance in the family of nations, and effectually humbling the pretensions and curbing the aspirations of her Yankee riva

al growth and multiplication would have given the Yankee power undisputed ascendency in the family of nations. Its very struggle with the South, if resulting in success, would have placed its power and prestige on an indisputable basis. It is plain to all the world, it is palpable to England herself, that the vital words for her are "strike now, or strike never." It is the universal belief of mankind that England has long been plotting the separation that has now taken place in the United States; and that the present opportunity is one for which she has been toiling with anxious care and industrious energy for half a century. If this be true, it would be a piece of self-stultification to lose the golden opportunity that at last presents itself. If, however, this charge against the far-reaching and all embracing statesmanship of that country be false, still the imperative impulse of self-preservation would drive her into war against the North at the present conjuncture.

d as its association was valuable to the North. The present opportunity offers Great Britain an ally more valuable than that of the whole European continent, ensuring her predominance in the family of nations, and effectually humbling the pretensions and curbing the aspirations of her Yankee rival. England was obliged about this time, by some expedient or other, by means either fair or foul, to open the Southern ports for the exportation of cotton. Cotton was a necessity to her and to France so urgent as to override all calculations of loss and damage from war. If a sufficient cause of war had not been vouchsafed to her, she would have had to find one by the exercise of diplomatic ingenuity, or manufacture, it to hand. A quarrel was necessary, even if there had been no apple of discord providentially dropped down in the path. The Yankees themselves have furnished the desired grievance; and England loses not one moment in making it the ground of demands as righteous as they are

all over the South, in behalf of the sufferers of the late conflagration in Charleston. Virginia is doing and will continue to do her full share in this noble work. A bill appropriating $50,000 has passed the House of Delegates, and will pass the Senate without unnecessary delay. We have noticed several liberal contributions by churches and individuals in Richmond, and we daily hear of fresh instances of practical sympathy which do credit to the hearts of our people. We learn that Mr. J. B. Watkins, of this city, has received and forwarded the following sums to the treasurer of the relief fund at Charleston; $500, contributed by the congregation of the First Baptist Church, Richmond; $150 by the Virginia Life Guard, $65 by the Henrico Southern Guard, and $100 by the Hanover Grays, Fifteenth Virginia Regiment. We do not make these announcements in any spirit of boasting, for that would rob the "music of humanity" of half its charms; but, if a mention of the facts stimulates other
