We learn by an extract from letter, re- ceived by commercial house yesterday from Galveston, and dated on the 14th inst, that the schr. Mary Shields, from Malamoros bound to New Y York, put into Galveston a few days since in distress. The captain re- ports the American Consul at Matamoros, j P. SchatzelI, Esq, in prison at that place, ac cused by the authorities of corresponding with Gen. Taylor at Corpus Christi. In ad- dition to this, we learn verbally that neXl- can who was the bearer of despatches from Mr. s. at Matamoros, to Gen. Taylor al Cor. pus Christi, had been shot by the authorities at the former place on his return. IL IS alse said that 5000 Mexican troops are stationed there

 There was rumor in town yesterday, tc the effect Mir. SlideII himself had been throwf into prison, but this undoubtedly took It's rlst from the above. Should 1t turn out that Mir Sehatzell has really been incarcerated al Mat amoros, Gen. Taylor cannot reach the vlcin ity of that city with too great speed Nt have heard of several overt acts committed by the Mexicans Of late-one of which wa: the shooting of a young American trade named Burney, at Perote, on the princlPa ground that he was in Texas during he early struggle for llbefly-and now it i stated that one of our Gonsuls has beer thrown into prison on no other plea thai he has been in correspondence with Gen Taylor. We have said so often that ou Government should come to some understan ding with Mexico-should have full ant final settlement with her of all difficulties that we have become sick of the subject Granted that Mexico is weak, powerless- yet no one can allow a snarling puppy to b. continually snapping at his heels withou kicking him out of the way at last,
