Our special and extraordinary express, which we have had arranged for some time past on the Southern line between Philadelphia and New Orleans, arrived at Philadelphia yesterday morn- ing at Si@télock, from whence the news which it brought, was transmitted to our office by tele. graph. It contained the glorious intelligence that the eity of Vera Cruz and the Castle of San Juan d’Ulfia, had capitulated to the American army, and that the starsand stripes of the United States of America wave over these two strongholds of the enemy. We were prepared to witness an excitement on the arrival of this intelligence, — but we had no idea that it would be so ardent and enthusiastic ag it was The moment the news was announced, every kind of business was suspended. The furor was actually terrific. Joy, patriotism and satisfac- tion were pictured'on every countenance. Our | citizens exchanged congratulations—all were eager to impart the glorious news to their neigh- bore—our shipping, steamboats, public hotels, newspaper eatablishments, and places of amuse ment, were decorated with flags. In fine, every consideration was forgotten but the last brilliant achievement of the American arms. By reference to another column, it will be per- ceived that a public meeting was held yesterday atthe Merchants’ Exchange, and a committee appointed to take into consideration, and recom- mend a public demonstration in honor of the event. the liberty of illuminating the whole of our spa- cious establishment last evening. Various conjectures were afloat yesterday as to the effect which the capitulation of these two places will have on the governmentand people of Mexico, and what would be the future move- ments of Gen. Scott and the troops under his com- that peace will immediately follow—that nego- tiations willbe opened within a short time. In regard tothe movements of Gen. Scott, we can inform our readers reliably, that after garrison- ing Vera Cruz and the castle with the Louisiana troops, he will move to Jalapa, a healthy position, and wait the course of events. If propositions for, peace be not immediately | made, he will march to the capital on that reute, while old Rough and Ready advances on the San Louis route. TELEGRAPHIC FROM PHILADELPHIA.

Harney, with between two and three hundred United States dragoons, charged on ‘and repulsed this immense force, with terrible | carnage, scattering them in alt directions. They had barricaded a bridge to protect them- selves, but our artillery soon knocked away this obstacle, and gave Harney’s command a chance at them.

But few shot and shells were thrown | into the Castle, the attack being mainly upon the Without waiting for a report, we took | town. None of the enemy’s missiles struck our ves- sels, and midshipman Shubrick, who was killed, was serving over a battery on shore. With the loss of the city, the hopes of the enemy fell, as they bad not provisions enough in the castle to sustain a protracted siege. The Princeton is commanded by Capt. Engle. As qhe sailed from Vera Cruz, Com. Conner’s flag was saluted from the Castle of S.Juan de Ula; the Commodore is a passenger on board, having been relieved by Commodore Perry before the commencement of operations. The Princeton having landed the bearer of des- patches for Washington, and Col. Totten, sails immediately for Philadelphia via Havana. TELEGRAPHIC FROM BOSTON.

We copy from the Pensacola Gazette of the 4th instant. The Princeton sailed from Vera Cruz on the 29th ult., and brings the glorious intelligence of the reduction of that city, with the Castle of San Juan de Uliia, and their entire unconditional surrender to our arms. We are indebted to one of the officers of the | P. for the following summary of the proceed- inge in this most brilliant achievement, an achievement that will redound more to the glory of our army and marine among the nations abroad, than any that has yet had place in our annals. So says the Gazette. But where is Buena Vista? The following is the narrative of the brilliant achievement: March 9—Disembarkation of menced. 1%h—Investment of the city completed 18h—Trenches opened at night. 22d—City summoned to surrender; on refusal seven mortars opened a fire of bomb shells. troope Annexed is the news.

The steamer Cambria, from Boston, arrived at Liverpool onthe 16th, with damage, having, on the evening of the 4th, fell in with a floating bed of ice, and ‘injured her paddles but her firm build and appointments to surmount all difficulties, and bearing south, she escaped further danger. Mr. O’Connell’s health was daily improving at Hastings. He walked daily on the esplanade, and took carriage exercise. ‘The Earl of Shrewsbury and Sir James Murray had visited him. The Emperor of Russia has purchased from the Bank of France the greater portion of the French 5 per cent. stock, held by that blishment, to the amount of 50 millions of franc: Liverpool on The treaty was concluded signed by the Government and the bank, and the Russian Charge, and approved by the bank directors, on the next day. As soon as the fact was known, 3 per cents rose 1 frane, (20 centimes,) but after- wards receded. The French papers, though allowing that the transaction gave immediate relief to the bank, yet were alarmed at the power thus obtained by the Emperor Nicholas. It seems that the first advances in the business came from the emperor himself. All kinds of cotton had declined 4d. per Ib.; but atthis reduction purchases in Uplands,which were placed at 64d. per lb., could not be made to any ex- tent. The total sales of the week, including 2,600 for exportation, were 16,450 bales. The Times states that Sea Island forms an | exception in the downward tendency of cotton, com- being firmly held, and commanding full prices.

The accounts from America, just received however, quote extravagant rates for grain and flour, which, with greatly advanced freights, and low rate of exchange, would searcely clear themselves at the present carrency.

On Tuesday and Wednesday, March 16th and 7th, several parcels of American flour were purchased at Liverpool for shipment to France and coastwise. The demand was freely met by holders, and the prices ofTuesday were without change.— At-the market on the morning of the 19th there was a very fair attendance of buy- ers, and a tolerably good business was trans- acted in wheat and flour at the full prices of Tuesday. Western Canal Flour realized 40 shillings per bbl., and the extent of sales since Tuesday was estimated at 80,000 bbls. Indian Corn was one shilling to two shillings per quarter lower. More business was doing at the decline. On Tuesday March 16th, in confirmation of | increased arrivals, we have to note for that day’s | market, a liberal supply of most kinds of | grain and produce coastwise, and from abroad, especially of Indian corn and flour, of which the importations are abundant, and the export to Ire- land considerable. Transactions in every de- scription of wheat were upon a limited scale. According to the London Times of the 20th ult., the arrivals of grain of all kinds have in- creased since Wednesday. Wheat hasbeen dull of sale at Monday’s rates. The Cork Reporter announces the arrival of | 38 cargoes of grain at that port between Saturday and Monday, the 13th and 15th ult. The market at Brandon, on the 18th, was re- markably supplied with oats and potatoes; there ; were seventeen loads of potatoes offered, of good , size and quality, at an average price of from 9d. to 1s., and the main street was choked with carts ; loaded with oats, many of which left the mar- | ket unsold.

We understand that the bids from this elty for tho new loan of $19,000,000, amount to more than twenty millions, and that the bids from all souress amount to more than forty millions of dollars. This does not look } much like the government going « begging for money. | It is supposed that the bids range from par to one per cont premium. | ‘The annexed is a comparative statement of the open ing of the Hudson river for the past ten years :— Hupsow River—Day or Orxnina.
