We publish in this day’s paper full accounts of the intelligence received at New Orleans from ging of them to reserve their energies for the con- Mexico, by the steamship Galveston, from Brazos Santiago, of which we published a telegraphic sketch yesterday. This intelligence stamps the capture of Monterey as one of the most brilliant victories in history. We give the particulars as fall as possible, for the purpose of gratifying public interest. The Late News from xlco—Its Important Aspect. The aspect of the late news from Mexico is ra- ther conciliatory than otherwise. The press of that country—or rather a portion of it—is unques- tionably in favor of adjusting the present difficul- | g ty with the United States, by negotiation. Thus it is that the press—even the Mexican press—ever | with the b interposes, and endeavors to allay the storm.— When the national Legislatures of England and | te the properties, costumes, and decorations. America were getting by the ears on the Oregon question, it was the voice of the press which call- ed them back to reason. Apparently, the Mexi- can pressfare fur the war ; in reality, they are for peace. We have very little doubt that when the Mexi. can Congress meets in December, there will be | crowded houses for nineteen consecutive nights, character, they must stave off all innovations in our elections. If our advice be taken, we think the prospect is good fora spirited contest. If the democrats play their balls well, they may make a ten strike, but to do this they must keep a sharp eye on Mil- lerand Phoenix, ui the third district. It is ramor- ed that the natives will back out in that district in favor of Phoenix, with the expectation or pledge from the whigs that they will go for by Miller, if be shoula be nominated by the na- tiv s for Mayor next Spring. Now, we protest against this bargwin, if any such has been made, because it will spoil the fun in that dis- trict Bit we scarcely credit that any such bar- gain has been made, because we see Miller's iq Ame still flying on the native banners. The democrats may have some dissension and difficulty in the third and sixth districts, in conse- quence of the trouble they had in agreeing upon their nominees. Those districts we re exceeding- ly prolific of political aspirants this year, owing, probably to the rot in the potato, each of whom considered himself the fittest person to represent his “ feller citizens” in the National Congress; and, as all could not get the nomination, it is na- tural to suppose that the lucky ones are an object | ot envy to the rest. This should not be the case. Democrats should, ‘ like little birds in their little | nests agree,” and any petty feeling of jealousy | would be unworthy of the harmonious demo- | cracy. Wewould again venture to recommend the hard fisters to patch up their little difficulties in these districts until after the election, and then fight it out in a harmonious and good natured “rough and tumble.” We take leave of our political friends, by beg- flict of Tuesday. Bi The Drama in New York. We have hitherto spoken of the unwonted number of attractions presented to our citizens during the present season, inthe way of music and the ballet. The drama- tic novelties are by no means inferior, either in number or quality. The drama is at present in a more flourishing condition in this country than it ever has been. A new impetus | has been given to it since the arrival of the Keans.— ‘These distinguished artists have raised it vastly in the | estimation of the public. To their own impersonations, | r chaste, brilliant, and higlly intellectual, they have iven effect, by a generous co-operation with the man- agement of the Park, in putting their plays on the stage accessories, filling up the subordinate parts with actors of great merit, and paying studious attention ‘The Keans, in.concert with the very liberal, judicious, and spirited management of the Park, have commenced a series of Shakspearian revivals, which, for historic truth, fulness and splendor, have never been equalled on any stage.

There is no doubt that the Mexicans wiil there make a decid: ed stand, and the engagement that is to degide the issue of the war may come off sooner than we expected.

It will be brought out on the 16th of November; and in order to be at full liberty to play it as often as it may be acceptable to the public, Mr Kean has made no engagement in any other city after that time, ‘We have at present another great tragedian amongst man who is destined, in a few years, to be without age.

He was assisted by Madame Ablamowicz, Mr. Mayer, Mr. Timm, Signor Rapetti, and a well drilled orchestra. Mr. Herz fully confirmed the impression which his distinguished repu- tation had given us of his merits as an artist. His style is of that quiet kind that wins its way to the feelings. His execution is clear, chaste, nd brilliant, without re, dundancy of ornament, although there is no lack of fervor or intensity. He is unquestionably a great artist, and slthough his playing is not of that sort that takes an audience by storm, still he elicited tumultu- ous applause from a very refined and discriminating assemblage. His first piece was a grand cone: for piano-forte and orchestra, which was execu ted by him in the most masterly manner, and in which he was ably segonded by the orchestra. This piece was ral times interrupted by vehement applause, and at its close the artist was obliged to re- turn to the platform, to receive the renewed greetings of udience. His next piece was grand fantasia on favorite airs from“ Lucia di Lammermoor,” composed by himself—a most sweet theme, brilliantly ornamented. The execution of this piece was of the most masterly description. Jt was enthusiastically encored. But after the third piece, ‘ Variations de Bravura and Rondo Bril- liant on the March from Otello,” the enthusiasm of the audience knew no bounds. The applause was deafen- ing, and M. Herz was obliged to re-appear after retiring from the platform, again to bow in acknowledgment of the cheers of the audienge. M. Herz has obtained a brilliant and deservedtriumph. The fame of his compo- sitions is universal, and he proved last evening that, as an instrumentist, he is as masterly as he isas acompo ser. He used one of ais own piano-fortes, an instru ment of very brilliant tone, und suited, of course, to his peculiar style of playing Madame Ablamowicz acquit- ted herself better than we have yet heard her. She was in excellent voice, and sang her pieces in beautiful sty! The cavatina, * Di piecer,” deserved the enthusiastic ap- plause it received Mr Mayer sang nearly as weil as usual. He has a voice of exceeding richness and volume, and he ought to make more of it. Mr. Timm presided at the piane forte with bis usuel skill and taste. It is need. less to say aught in praise of Signor Rapetti’s leading. He cannot do nything but well. Mr. Herz will give his next concert on Tuesday evening next. Lrorotp pe Meren- It is expected that the concert to be given by this great musician, on Tuesday next, in aid of the charitable fund of the German Society, at the Taberna will be one of the most brilliant and fash- jonably attended entertainments of the season.

The ar- rangement preposed in relation to the loan of two hun- dred and ninety thousand dollars, to this company, to complete its works, and increase its facilities for doing business, is ina fair way of being perfected; and hold- ers of the stock are therefore not disposed to sell below the price fixed upon by the party proposing the loan, There is avery great probability of this stock being ve- ry much benefitted by this new loan.

Theadvance in one of these fancies, and the de- cline in the other, which has ranged from one half to one Per cent for several days past, is pretty good evidence that the position of our foreign relations, and the finan- cial embarrassments of the government, have very little to do with the market price of either, and show that the fluctuations are produced entirely by local causes. The money market of New Orleans is represented 0 being very easy. The Times of the 2ist inst. says:— “ Money still continues very abundant, and the de- mand for business purposes is lighter than we have known it for some time past. Capitalists are, however, not very anxious to make investments for any lengthen- ed period, being desirous of witnessing the effect pro- ‘Yuced by the wants of the government on a more ex- tended scale probably, than has hitherto been supposed, and which must shortly assume a definite aspect. The Secretary of the Treasury, who at the last accounts was still at New York, has not made any arrangement. “There is hardly any movement in uncurrent fands, and the market still evinc great degree of heaviness. Small sales of Citizens’ Bank notes are made at 7% a 86 per cent discount; Consolidated $a 4 per cent discount. Improvement money is extremely fist, and sales could not be effected at.e better rate than 25.026 cents. Third Municipality notes 7 a 9 per cent discount. “ Texas funds continue at a stand; there are some few jers at our quoted rates, but buyers show no inclina- tion to operate—in fact, no transactions have transpired during the past three weeks. We quote treasury notes 12% a 12ic; interest notes 1836 a 14c; eight per cent bonds, 16 a 17c; ten per cent do. 18 a 19c on the dollar.” We annex a statement exhibiting the quantity of cor. tain articles imported into this district for the first nine months in each of the past three years :— Imronts into tHe Poar ine a or saw Yorx.

All the staple arti- cles of foreign importation have fallen off—some of them very largely. This can be principally attributed to the alteration about being made in the tariff. The importa- “Won, even under the operation of the warehousing system, has this fall been very small. The packets now arriving from Europe have very limited freight lists, and a large portion of whet they do bring is composed of heavy merchandise, such as coal, salt and iron—a description of goods which, in business seasons, comes out in transient or trading vessels. The annexed statement exhibits the value of foreign merchandise imported into this district in each of the first nine months of the past three years :— Excess of imports. ... . 35,952,816 95,138,285 It will be perceived by the above, that the value of merchandise exported from this port for the first nine months in each of the past three years, has been ex- ceedingly uniform, not having vmied from one year to another more than two millions of dollars. The impor- tations have fluctuated to a much greater extent, and have been, this year and last, about six millions less than for the corresponding period in 1844. The balance against usin the foreign trade of this port, this year, is only about eight hundred thousand dollars less than last year. On the whole, our foreign trade this year, isin @ much more favorable condition then in either of the prev vious two years; and before or by the clesing of the ce- lendar year, we have no doubt it will present a more fa- tisfactory result than the above table exhibits. Our ex- ports are increasing with wonderful rapidity; the im- mense shipments which have recently been made of breadstuffs and provisiens, must swell the value of our exports toa very large amount. The value of imports and exports of the port of New York, in each of the past four y: |. has been as annexed :— Vaur or Imports axa ot oe sev or New Yor 1813. ars 184 74,1 10.270 28.5%, 1845. 68,593,219 29,112 654 1846 (nine months) . 766. 700 The imports of the other three months of this year will, without doubt, be very small. It is eur impression that the aggregate willinotjexceed that of last year,while the exports for the three months will probably be so large as to swell the aggregate to several millions beyond that of 1845 We have no doubt the value of merchandize exported from this port for 1846, will exceed that of any previeus year. While the foreign trade of this port isin a fair way of being placed upon a better basis than we have over before enjoyed, that of other ports is in fect more favorable. This is the prineipal importing port ef the country, while it is the second as an exporting port; and the balance against us which eppears in the above table, is more than offset by the balance on the other side, in the foreign trade of New Orleans and other large exporting places. From present appearances, and so far as we can judge from the returns so fer received, the balance in our favor en the aggregate foreign trade of the country, will be very large; and before the importa- tions begin to come in for the spring trade, there will be, without doubt, a large importation of specie.
