It was rumored that the city of Mexico had been attacked by the Liberals, and that four hundred of General Zu- Joaga’s men were killed. The Liberals were in Possession of the whole country, excepting the cépital. Porto Rico.—We have advices from Porto Rico to the 27th ultimo. ‘Phe port of Aquadilla ws visited by a severe burricane on the 24th, attended with some shocks ofearthquake. One or two lives were lost. The shipping escaped with slight damage. ‘The Asland after a long drought, bad been del- uged with rains, which had beaten down the cane fields and done some damage to the crops. phosrs fr er exeeatee sie aeE Tux Mormoxs.—Judge Fckles, having in charge Henrietta Polidore, who was rescued from the Mormons on a writ of habeas corpws, at the request of the British government, bas arrived at St. Louis. The girl was abducted from Glou- cester, England, faur yearsago. Elizabeth Cot- ton, the authoress of an extensively published letter in regard to Mormon life, has also arrived, @n route to her home in England pais Sento ua oom eee ixtinois —The Chicago Press and Tribune “* We have the satisfaction of announcing this morning that returns have veen received from all the counties in the State but three. footing up as follows: Republican, 118,905; Democratic, 110,- 771; Republican majority, $,134. Tie counties to hear from are Calhoun, Jackson, and Wil- mson, which gave Richardson 2,740 over Bis- seli in 1856 This would ieave the Repubiican majority 5,344 in the whole State. The otticial result will a, not vary five hundred votes from these figures. Our majority is as likely to go above 5,00 as to fail below it. ‘The Governor of Arkansas, in his ¢ legislature of that State, which assembled on the 4th inst., sjptes the sum at pre- sent in the treasury to be $235,101. The liabilities om account of the Real Estate Bank and State Bank are estimated to aggregate $3,000,000, and the latter institution is regarded by the Governor as hopelessly “busted up.” We gather from the document the population of the State on the Ist of January, 1858, summed up as follows : 131,197 free white males, 113,113 free white females, 30,335 slaves, and 734 free persons of color—total 325,429 souls. The taxable property of the State is put down at $99,573,218. Minsxsora.—The latest intelligence of the late election in Minnesota is, according to Dem- eeratic authority, (the St. Anthony Express,) that the Republicans have elected tothe Legisla- ture 18 Senators and 39 Representatives, and that the Demo-rats have 19 Senators and 31 Represen- tatives, giving the Republicans a majority on Joint ballot of 17. It is said that a new United States Senator will be elected by the Legisiature if Gov. Sibley should venture to convene it; but unless be does there will be no session until after a new Legislature sball have been elected in O>- tober, 1850, as there is noconstitational Provisten for the meeting of the present Legislature. ANOTHER ATLaNtic Terecxarn.—The Gal- ‘way (Ireland) Vindicator says that a company is in course of formation, to be called the British and Candian Submarine Telegraph Company, (limi ted) the object of which will be to connect the most important British North American Colonics with Great Britain by electric telegraph, com- mencing with that portion of the line between Galway and Quebec, and ex tending it onwa-ds to the Pacific as soon afterwards as may be deemed expedient. The company propoce that the first se. tion shall commence at Galway, cross the Atian- tte to Belle Isle, and follow the course of the riv- er St. Lawrence to Quebec. The wire to be used will be of @ totally different nature aad construc- tion from any hitherto employed, and the whole arrangement will be such as to secure its being successfully laid. Tux Artantic Casie.—A Limerick paper (the Munster News) received by the Vanderbilt contains the annexed particulars : The Stag with seven miles of the shore end of the c: on board, has arrived in Valentia harbor, and Captain Kell will, no doubt, com- mence the laying of it without unnecessary de- jay. There is one rather erous reef of rocks rt about one mile and a or twe the mouth of Valentia harbor, called the ‘Coast. rd Patch. On this rock there are about pea oan low water and about 2% fathoms ail around {t.

Thug, it indirectly announces Douglas as a éandidate for the Presidency in 1960, against the nomina- tion of the Charleston Demoeratic National Convention, wheever that may be. The al- leged “‘ corruption of conventions” is the main excuse given by the Press for the propriety of the purpose of Douglas in this connection. The Pennsylvanian, commenting upon the tevela- tion of the Press, says, with truth and perspi- eacity, indeed : ' The above significant article from the Press of tw the ght tee: Anti-Lecompton movement, so far as prominent members of the Democratic party have been con- nected with the same. The elevation of small men, such as Hickmanand his bolting associ- ates, were but collateral issues, necessary to pre- pare the country for a ventilation of the graod scheme for bgp ics the action of the National Convention at , and running an inde- pendent candidate for the Presidency, on the single idea which has been selected as the basis for this movement inst the Democratic party and its candidate in 1860. This confession of the leading organ of the Anti-Lecompton faction ex- plains much that was obscure in the recent Con- gressional contests in the Northern States. This movement in fuvor of an inde; ent candidate must look for its consummation—if that can be reached—to Congress. No man thus put before the can be chosen by the popular vote. The ch must fali upon Congress. In this view, it was important that the Thirty- Sixth Congress should be in the hands of the Op- position; and hence in all the northern States the anti- Lecompton faction voted direct for the Black Republican candidates in all those districts where they could not certainly elect a member of their Own. Thi» was the casein Pennsylvania, New ‘York. New Jersey, in Obio, in the eastern States, and throughout the whole Northwest. There ‘was but one object prominent in the canvass, and that was to secure an Opposition delegation in the next Congress from each State, and by this means make certain of one vote adverse to the regular nominee of the National Democracy, if Congress should be called upon tochouse a Pres- ident, by a failureon the popular vote. Thi the meaning of the course pursued by the Lecompton faction as interpreted by the conies- sion of their leading organ in this State. But will this scheme come to maturity, and yield such fruit as the conspirators desire? Can a mere faction, actuated by the most selfish and mercenary purposes, fotce into the Presidential cbair by trickery and management, a candidate of theirown? Will the fact that a faction has deliberately disturbed the peace of the country, wasted a whole session of Congress in discussion on a point which was raised for the mere purpose of agitation and political capital, recommend either themselves or their candidate to the Con- stitutional, conservative men of the natio: than all,is the Democratic party of th willing to strike hinds with men who, after hav- ing boasted of their unalterable attachment to prleciples, now unblushingly proclaim that the the whole object of their attack upon the party, the President, and the rights of one section of the Union, was to distract the national demoe- racy, impair its position in the nation, aud thus, if possible, open the way for the election of an independant, irregular candidate for the first office in the gift of the people? This is the point to be considered; for this the Press proclaims to be the purpose of that faction of which it is the fithing instrument and representative. The haste made in snags | that portion of the ——— of Mr. Buchanan which related to Kan- sas affairs is now illuminated. It was the first step in that path, which has its hoped-for end at the White House. The fault was not with the Kansas policy of Mr. Buchanan, nor with the endorsement which the party gave the same. ‘The plot had beea concocted, and some pretext must be sought to commence opesations on the line of policy agreed upon. That pretext was opposition to the Kansasx-Lecompton doctrine, and the campaign then commenced has been closed by the anuouncement that the anthority of the Democratic party to nominate a candidate is to be repudiated in 1560), and an independent can- didate put tn the field or that faction which has aided the Black Republicans in their recent vic- tories in the Northern States The secret is now out, and the line of party ac- tion clear and unmistakable. If the party is not to be totally disjointed and its organization at the mercy of every ambitious and unpriacipled dem- agogue who may wish to reach the Presidency by a short cut, the figbt must be made at this time and on the proffered issue. Usitep States Court-Hovses.—We learn at the Interior Department that the new build- ing erected at Richmond, Va., for the accomm:- dation of the United States Court for that dis- trict, the Custom-House and Post Office has beencompleted. The rooms to be used by the court are fitted up and furnished ready for oc- cupation. The building is large, substantial, and highly ornamental to thecity. At New York, Burton’s Theatre has been leased by the Government for the accommo- dation of the United States Court for that di:- triet. The lease is for fifteen years. The building is new undergoing a process of re-ar- rangement and fitting up, with a view to the new use to which it is to be appropriated; and it is nearly finished. I: will possess every re- quisite convenience for the court, and occupies an eligible situation. At Boston, the Government has taken steps for the purchase of the Masonic Temple, with the intention of converting it into a Court- House, and the purchase will no doubt be con- summated if the parties claiming the property can satisfy the Government officers that they hold a valid title thereto, and are empowered to convey the same. It can readily be fitted up so as to afford ample accommodations for court purposes. + At Milwaukie, Wisconsin, and Buffalo, N. Y., new buildings have recently been erected and are about completed, which will affurd ample accommodations for the U. S. Court, Custom-House, and Post Office in each of those cities. ‘There are, also, in progress in several other cities of the Union, buildings intended for the same purposes; but, besides those we have mentioned, none of them will probably be fin- ished during the current season. Navav.—The practice-ship Plymouth, ar- rived at Mobile on Sunday last, from Vera Cruz, having on board Mr. Forsyth, the U.S. Minister to Mexico. She has been ordered to this city, and the sloop-of-war St. Louis will be despatched to supply her place in the Gulf squadron. Commander Ogden will be ordcred to the St. Louis. It is stated that the Secretary of the Navy has despatched orders to the squadron in the Gulf of Mexico, relative to the enforcing of the recent proclamation of the President against filibusterism. Advices received at the Navy Department state that Commodore Lavalette was intro- duced to the Sultan of Turkey as the latter was passing from the Mosque to his barge, and that he was subsequently received at Court, and visited the departments of the govern- ment. The Turkish Admiral, Mehemet Pacha, who recently visited this country, was partio- ularly hospitable and attentive. The visit of the Sultan to the steamer Wabash was the first that he ever made to @ foreign man-of- war. He expressed his admiration of her, and his friendly feelings towards the United States, and especially requested that the President be informed of his visit to the vessel. Tuz New Yorx Execrion.—The official eanvass of the vote in the recent New York election renders it certain that Morgan (Rep.) triumphed only by and through Mr. Seward’s remarkable bid for abolition support, which stripped Gerrit Smith of the votes of four-fifths of that party, which in these times reldom fails to vote 25,000 strong, rather than some 5,000, a8 on this occasion. The game of abolitionizing the Republican party to the extent to whieh Mr. Seward did that thing was a desperate, if temporarily a successful one, and must tell in the future against his prospects ontside of the State of New Yerk, as well as there. The moral victory of that election was on the Dem- coratic side, Mr. Parker having received some 230,000 votes upon a atraight-out platform.

Lxwis Cass. Appornrzp.—Mr. Samuel Byington, so well known to all the citizens of the District, having resigned his late position of master armorer at the Harper’s Ferry (Virginia) Government works, was to-day appointed to be the Super- intendont—and of course master armorer, we presume,—at the Washington City Arsenal; a post for which no one can be better qualified, and to which his transfer will give infinite sat- isfaction, especially to all interested in the future welfare of the section of the Federal Metropolis in which the Arsenal is situated.

Last night, the Lyceum Gall was filled by a Most intelligent audience, who listened with Trapt attention to the readings of Prof. Donald MacLeod.
