Matamoras.—A Washington letter writer says: I am informed by a gentleman recently from Matamoras, that that town has become completely Americanised. You can scarcely turn a corner, or walk twenty yards in the streets, without stumbling on a Yankee name emblazoned on some sin. The riot and confusion of Spanish rule is succeeded by a quiet quite Massachusetts like. Colonel Clarke is evidently popular, and a most judicious officer. The advertisements in the Matamoras Flag are amusing, and show the Americanism now getting quite peculiar. For instance, there are five taverns, as follows:—“Resaca House,” by Angelo Oliva—“Exchange,” Tucker & Richardson; “Washington House,” A. Wheeler— “Tremont House,” Gillock & Miller— “Matamoras Lunch,” Then Mr. C. J. Betts advertises Daguerreotypes—…

Artistic.—The specimens of portraits painting which our friend Burgess has recently executed, are sufficient of themselves to recommend him to those who may require his services.
