The loss of the enemy was thirty- aix killed: wounded not ascertained. The next morn- ing the enemy showed themselves in some force ([ think not less than four hundred) on the distant heights. Leaving a strong guard in the town, I marched in pur. suit of them; but they were so shy, and retreated so pidly, that, finding it impossible to get near them, I re- turned to town, Canada, a number of the horses belonging to .ck’s company were brought in by Lieutenant jcomb. On the 27th, I advanced up tho Rio del Norte as far as Luceros, where, early on the 28th, I was joined by ( tain Burgwin, commanding company G, Ist dragoo and company A 2d regiment Missouri mounted yolu teers, commanded by Li@utenant Boone. Captain Bu gwin's command was dismounted, and great credit is due to him and his officers and’ men for the rapidit; with which a march so long and arduous was performed. At the same time Licutenant Wilson, Ist dragoons, who had volunteered his services, came up with a six-pound- er, which had been sent for from Cana My whole force now comprised 479 rank and file. On the 20th I marched to La Joya, where I learned that n party of sixty or eighty of the enemy had posted them- selves on the steep slopes of the mountains which rise on each side of the canon, or gorge, which leads to Embudo. Finding the road by Embudo impracticable for artillery or wagons, I detached Captain Burgwin in that direc tion, with his own company of dragoons and the comp: nies commanded by Captain. St. Vrain and Lieut. White. This detachment comprised 180 rank and file. By my permission Adjutant R. Walker, 2d regiment Missouri mounted volunteers, accompanied Captain Bu: gwin, Lieutenant Wilson, Ist dragoons, also voli teered his services as a private in Captain St. Vrain's compan Captala Burgwin, pushing forward, discovered the enemy, to the number of between six and seven hun- dred, posted on the sides of the mountains, just where the gorge becomes so contracted as searocly to admit of sage of three men marching abreast. rapid slopes of the mountains rendered the ene- my’s position very strong, and its strength was increas- ‘ed by the dense tastes of cedar and Intge fragments of rock which everywhere offered them shelter. The ac- tion was commenced by Captain St. Vrain, who, dis- mounting his men, ascended the mountain on the left, doing much execution, Flanking parties were thrown out on either side, commanded respectively by Licuten- ant White, 2d regiment Missouri mounted volunteers, and by Lieutenants Mellvaine and Taylor, Ist dragoons These parties ascended the hills rapidly, and the enem: the The ing along the ateep and rugged sides of the mountains with a speed that defied pursuit. ‘The firing at the pass of Embudo had been heard at La Joya, and Capt.

On the 4, marched through Don Fernando de ‘aos, and finding t the enemy had fortified themselves iu the Pueblo de ‘Taos, proceeded to that place. [ found it a place of great strength, being surrounded by adobe walls and strong pickets. | Within the enclosure and near the northern and southern walls, arose two large buildings of irregu- lar pyramidai forui to the height of seven or eight sto- ries. Each of those buildings was capable of sheltering five or six hundred men. Besides these, there were many smaller buildings, and the large church of the town was situated in the northwestern angle, a small be- ing left between it and the outer wall. The exterior wail and all the enclosed buildings were pierced for rifles, ‘The town was admirably calculated for defence, every ng fanked by on from the en- | point of the exterior walls and pickets some projecting building, as will be cloned drawing.

About this time, Captain Burgwin, at the head of small party, left the cover afforded by the flank of the church, and penetrat- ing into the corral in front of that building endeavored to force the door.” In this exposed situation, Captain hurgwin received a severe wound,which deprived me of his valuable services, and of which he died on the 7th | whigs of Auburn, and of my being, with perfect esteem inst.

TRANSLATION OF A PROCLAMATION ISSUED BY THE ACTING GOVERNOR OF NEW MEXICO, ‘The Governor ad interim to the inhabitants of New Mexico:— Fev.ow Crrizxss—The infatuated rabble led on by Pablo Montayo and Orteg, at Taos, and the Moro, after having in their blind rage murdered your Governor, and other peaceable citizens; and having commenced their great system of plunder, by sacking the houses of their victims, | say we wir true intentions of rob- bing and plundering for the purpons of obtaining prose- lytes to cause, were met by Ihe forces of the Go- vernment in the suburbs of Canada, and totally defoat- ed, leaving many of thelr number dead on the field of battle, and forty-four of them prisoners in the hands of tho Government forces, subject to the penalty of the laws. The rebel forces are entirely composed of robbers and vagabonds, and it may be truly styled a war of the rabble against all honorable and just men.

So the Senate refused to ‘adhere.”” Mr. Vax Scnoox#oven then moved to amend the mo- tion of Mr. Jones. by striking out the words “ insist upon,” and inserting the words « recede from.”’ The ayes and noes on this motion were as follows :— Ayes—Mensrs. Backus, Beach, Emmons, Hard, Rug- gles, Van Schoonhoven—6, Noos—Mesers. Barlow, Burnham, Clark. Crook, Den- niston, Hand, Jones, Lester, Morris, Sanford, J. B. Smith, Talcott, Wheeler—13. And thus the Senate refused to recede from their atti- tude of non-concurrence. The question was then taken upon the motion of Mr. Jones, that the Senate do “insist upon’ their non-con- currence, and it resulted as follows :— Ayes—Mossrs. Barlow, Burnham, Crook, Denniston, Hand, Jones, Lester, Morris, Sanford, J, B. Smith, Tal- cott, Wheeler—12. Noxs—Mesers. Backus, Boach, Emmons, Hard, Rug- gles, Van Schoonhoven—6. So the Senate insists upon their non-coneurrence to the amendments of the House. Every whig voted in a a ce son Nae hs — ey) Senators who purpose! © vote upon this last important Tweation, are fra Harris, anti-renter, Orville Clark, servative democrat, Joshua A. Spencer, consery whig, Stephen ©. Johnson, anti-rent democrat, and pro- bably one or two others. You are already advised that the House, on Friday last, by a vote of 61 to 34, insisted upon its amendments; the Senate, therefore, insisted upon its non-concurrence, with a full knowledge that the House had previously insisted. Either House may pro- poso another Committee of Conference; the Assembly will not do it, most assuredly, Thus when the Senate finds it cannot frighten the House into compliance, it will probably propote another Committee of Conference, ‘ The House probably “adhere” to its amendments 0-1 morrow. In the House, this morning, while the Senate bill, ex- tending the time in which Chancellor Walworth may take the oath of office as commissioner of the code was pending, Mr. Walsh, of New York, made some highly poetical and satirical remarks in opposition to the bill.- Mr. W. aaid he was glad he did not vote for the chance lor, he seemed to be so very Important a personage .— From what had been said in the House, he inferred that if the chancellor did not accept this office, the crops would fail, the earth would cease to revolve upon its axis, and the angels would stop playing upon thelr harpe.— ‘The chancellor had been in office thirty years ; this should fepen is official aspirin, id now he should be willing to re but ho is not ; he is ambitious to fill two offices Mr. W. deemed his taking a second ‘& piece of shameless and unblushing effrontery.— He would vote ist the bill. seca aoe. anewer the emergency; nor aro we satisfied that the ex- pectation of tho fresident as to re-enlistanents will be | gratified Two regitaonte of men, at least, will be needed efficient: | Lane Eris.—The lake navigation is fully re- There are numerous daily arrivals and depar- YORK HERALD. wew. New York, Wednesday, April 21, 1847. ARRIVAL oF THE STHAMSHIP CAMBRIA. THE DETAILS OF THE NEWS, It may go happen that a special messenger will reach the office of the New York Herald some- time this morning with our files brought by the Cambri. If he succeeds in getting through, ahead of the mail, we shall publish an Eztra Herald wt 11 o'clock, or thereabouts, with the details of the foreign news—particularly the commercial news. Highly Interesting from our Armies, Our readers will find in this day’s Herald the full official details from General Taylor of the famous battle of Buena Vista, and also the offi- cial account of the insurrection and battles in New Mexico. They are documents of the great- est interest and importance. ‘The Progress of Emigration. We give in this day’s Herald an engraving re- presenting a scene on board an emigrant ship leaving Liverpool for New York. The condi- tion of the unfortunate emigrants, is truthfully represented. The main body of the emigrant passengers that arrive here, are, however, not so destitute as those represented in the engraving. Hundreds and thousands of those that have arrived here within a few weeks, are men of health, energy, and some capital. ‘They are composed principally of small farmers, who are moving to the west by. hundreds in every boat that leaves for Albany. It is great folly for certain prejudiced persons to continually cry out, as they are in the habit of doing, against these emigrants ; calling them paupers ; and stating them to be incapable of earning a livelihood. A few of them, anda very few, compared to the great aggregate, are no doubt in destitute cireumstances.. The whole of them are not, as may be seen by their healthy and comfortable appearance. At almost every corner, patches of six or seven rosy gheeked, athletic, and comfortably clad emigrants, are hourly seen comparing notes with each other, and deliberating upon and maturing their plans for the future. As a proof of the whole of them not being des- titute, we will state that a gentleman yesterday informed us, that while he was paying his fare at one of our ferries, one of these emigrants arrived at the gate, and expressed his desire to go across the river, at the same time inquiring the price of the passage. Onbeing informed of it, he pulled out of his pocketa long greasy stocking filled one half its length with sovereigns and half sove- reigns, one of the latter of which he tendered for his ferriage. The same man, judging from his appearance, would notbe considered possessed of a shilling. Theemigrants must not be considered poor and destitute, because they do not wear fine broad cloth, They have for years perhaps been amassing their little store, and like sensible men, think it more prudent to expend it in a way that will tend to their reaching their places of desti- nation, than in purchasing fine clothes. Troors ror Mexico.—The ship Edwina which lies in the river, will sail first fair wind, having on board two hundred and sixty-six recruits from Fort Columbus, for the seat of war. Nine- ty-two of these men constitute D. Co. Ist Artil- lery, eighty-four for B. Co. 7th Infantry, and ninety for A. Co. 5th Infuntry, the whole under the command of Brevet-Major J. Dimick, Ist U.S. Artillery. Lieut. J. B. Gibson, Ist Artil- lery, A.A.C.S., accompanies the detachment. Tur Rerorrs oF ISLATIVE PROCEEDINGS anp Desates.—We perceive that the French Chamber of Deputies have adopted a plan of offi- cial reporting of their preceedings and debates, similar to that which the Hon. Mr. Hannegan successfully carried through the Senate of the United States, towards the close of the last ses- sion. News From VENEZU —We learn from Capt. Hill, of the Canton, arrived yesterday from Laguayra, that an insurrection broke out at Ca- raceas, about the 26th ult., against General Paez, the President. This is perhaps strange news; but revolutions in South and Central America have become mere pastime. Increase or Vistrers—Spring ,Trave.—On reference to our list of the arrivals of strangers at the hotels, it willbe perceived that we yes- terday had a vast influx of strangers. We should think that the spring trade had opened in a most spirited manner. Larter rrom Rio Janrmo.—By the bark Ac- tive, we are in receipt of files of El Jornal do Comercio up to the 27th February, one day later than our previous dat We refer to our ship- ping news for information on the movements in that line. eat” Tue Ocean Sri rs.—The Caledonia left Liverpool yesterday for Boston. Weare now to have two steamers a month. We are, indeed, soon to have three and four steamers per month. Sreamsuip Sournerner, Captain Berry, from Charleston, was at her dock yesterday afternoon just two hours in advance of the mail. Taportant INTELLIGENCE.—One of our corres- pondents in Washington mentioned ina letter, which was published in Tuesday’s Herald, that N. P. Trist, Esq., the chief clerk in the State Department had left for Mexico with some important despatches. We find that the corres- pondent of the Boston Post gives the same intel- ligence in the following letter:— Wasminaton, April 15, 1847, Nicholas P. Trist, Eey., former consul at Havana, and for the last eighteen months chief clerk in the Depart- ment of State, left in the southern boat this evening, for Vora Cruz, in the capacity of a special bearer of de- spatches to Gen. Scott. ‘The precise character of “ the documents” is, of course, unknown, but it is rumored that Mr. ‘Trist carries with him to our land and naval commanders in Mexico, the definiteand final purposes of our government, both in regard to the further prosecu- tion of the war, and the prospective restoration of peace. Itis settled beyond all doubt or peradventure, that no new proposal to negotiate will be made by this’ govern- ment, and if diplomatic relations are to be restored, the advance must be made by Mexico, She has once, twice, thrice. rejected the propositions of our government to cease the bloody arbitrament of the sword, and if a more pacific mode of adjustment of our differences is to super- vene, the initiatory step must be taken by her. Such, it is believed, is the #ettled policy of the administration, which every patriotic American will most heartily ap- rove. * Mexico would doubtless now be perfectly resigned to acknowledge the Rio Grande as the boundary of Texas, and forever withdraw the presumptuous claim to the recovery of any portion of the’‘Toxan territory. The last hope that she can ever, by any poseible combination of circumstances, regain Texas, or any portion of it, must now be forever banished from the minds of Santa Anna and his infatuated followers. They will hence not com- mit such stupendous folly os to refuse an unqualified surrender of all manner of claim or title to orin the State of Texas, including the disputed district between the Nueces and the Rio Grande. But will our govern- ment be content with this? I think not. On the con- trary, it will insist on a full and final reckoning—a set- tlement of all the old-tanding accounte—a perfect squaring of balances. Uncle Sam will insist on repara- tion for the past, as well as the present, and will demand atonement for «poliations to our commerce-—robbery and murder of our unoffending citizens—violation of treaty stipulations—invasion of our soil—together with a long catalogue of high crimes and misdemeanors, too nume- rous to mention. If Mexico won't offer to negotiate, but will still persist in an obstinate refusal to sue for peace, why then Taylor and Scott are instructed to push our victorious banners ahead, until they have planted.thom on the very walis of her capital!” Thata junction of the forces of these two brave commanders must inevitably load to this ree sult, is now seen and acknowledged by the Mexican press. It is hardly within the range of probability, therefore, that the enemy can hold out much longer. “General Taylor never surrenders” !—but Mexico must be made to surrender, nolens Mr. Trist, it ts presumed, ho witnesses the denouement, hi to almost every emergency. , ARRIVAL OF THE . STEAMSHIP CAMBRIA AT BOSTON. TWO WEEKS LATER NEWS FROM EUROPE. HIGHLY INTERESTING COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. State of the Grain Markets, THE COTTON TRADE. . Sic., die, dic. The steamship Cambria, Capt. Judkins, was telegraphed at Boston at half-past four this after- noon, and the fact immediately transmitted over the wires to this city. The Cambria left Liverpool on the 4th inst. The steamer reached Boston about } past 6 o’clock, and soon after our special reporter com- menced to despatch the news over the lightning line to the Herald office. Owing, however, to the electricity in the atmosphere, the line did not work well, and indeed refused to.speak at all after the grain and a portion of the cotton mar- ket was got through. We were, in consequence of this constrained last evening to issue an Ez- tra Herald; with the following intelligence only. Tue Corn Marxers. The Corn Markets are receding in every direc- tion, and in some descriptions, that of Indian corn for instance, the fall has been astounding. The price has receded about 248. The rapid rise in this species of food surprised many persons, and even in the judgment of the uninitiated ex- ceeded the necessities of the case. Flour, like Indian corn, has sustained a consi- derable fall, and the existing impression can hardly fail to be increased by the fine spring weather we are now enjoying, which foresha- dows an early and prolific harvest. ‘Tue Corn Market at Liverpoo.. There have been several changes in our corn market since'the sailing of the Hibernia. Large imports of all descriptions of breadstuffs to eve- ry part of the United Kingdom, have had the effect of putting down pressures of all kinds of grain and flour. The fluctuations during the month amount to 1s per 70 lbs. on wheat, 6d per 45 Ibs. on oats, 6d per 60 lbs. on barley, 4s per quarter on rye, peas and beans, 6s per barrel and 8s per sack on flour, 23 per load on oat meal, 248 to 25s per 480 Ibs on Indian corn, and 10s per barrel on Indian corn meal. Within a few days past a reaction has been experienced in peas, of 2s. per quarter; in barley, 2s. per sack; in Indian corn, 5s. per 480 lbs ; in Indian corn meal, 2s. per barrel, and the trade generally has assumed more firmness, with some heavy trans- actions in flour at $7s. to 38s. per barrel for Western Canal. For Philadelphia and Balti- more, 36s. to 36s. 6d.; New Orleans, 34s. to 358. per bbl. on the spot, with the usual allowances. American wheat rules from 10s to 10s 9d, for Southern up to 1s 5d to 11s 6d per 70 Ibs. For Northern white rye 48s to 50s per quarter. Bar- ley 63 9d to 7s per 60 lbs. Beans, American white, 70s to 80s; and black-eyed peas 668 to 70s per imperial quarter. The trade on the 3d instant, 1s again rather firmer; there are buyers of wheat at full prices. Flour supports the amendment; Indian corn in request at 62s. per 480 lbs. for Northern yellow, and meal at 25s. per barrel. Tur Corron Market. Good Sea Island, 154d. to 18d.; Bowed Geor- gia 6} to 63; New Orleans, 6§ to 7}. In the Liverpool cotton market, for the week ending March 26, there was quite a turn round. Instead of the gloom and depression which had existed during the present year, we have had a stirring and active business on each suc- ceeding day, both to the trade and on specula- tion. Exporters also have been purchasers for some of the better qualities of Orleans. In such amarket, and after so long a depression, it became almost a certainty that an increase of demand would also give a turn in prices. Accordingly American descriptions of all qualities are raised penny per Jb., and the great bulk of the ordina- ry kinds jd. TELEGRAPHIC FROM PHILADELPHIA. Pauapexenta, April 20, 1847. ‘The bark William Kennedy, from Belfast, March 26th arrived to-day. The Captain reports that in consequence of large im- ports of corn, and a decrease in Liverpool, the price had receded on the 19th 20s per ton, and meal in proportion. On the 23d, holders were more firm, and not disposed to sell at reduced rates. The quotations were for white corn £14 10s. to £14 16. perton. Yellow corn was at £14 lbs. to £15. Red wheat £17 98. to £18 4s.; white wheat, 19s. to 18s. 6d. per ewt; meal, per ton, £16 to £16 16s, 0d. for white, and £15 15s, Od. to £16 for yellow. American flour, per barrel, 398. to 42s, Special Correspondence. Puitapecrnta, April 20, 1847, The bark William Kennedy, Captain Martin, from Belfast, Ireland, 26th ult., arrived here to-day. The fol- lowing quotations of produce I cut from the Belfast News Letter of the 23d ult., which I enclose : Buurast Manxets, Monday, March 22.—We have had a good deal of rain since our last, but to-day is fin and every prospect of it continuing so. The suppli coming to market continue small, and no change in prices. Wheat is the turn dearer, and some large sales of foreign and home produce have beon made at full rate in cons of the large importations of In- dis orn, and the decline in thd the price of that article was reduced on Friday last fully 20s. per ton, and meal in proportion ; holders, however, evince more firm- ness to-day, and do not seem anxious to sell at the reduced rates, Tho following are our quotations :—In- dian Corn—White, £14 10s to £14 15s ; yellow, £14 163 to £16 per ton.

"We could not Paak Turar: ‘Mrs. Mason and Mr. Wheatley made their second appearance at the Park last evening in Sheridan Knowles’ play of “The Wife.’’ There are few plays better calculated to show off real talent than the “Tale of Mantua.” Tho character of Mariana, in the hands of Mrs. Mason, was really a fine piece of acting. Her reading is so pure and her action #0 true to the sen- timent she rehearses, that she cannot fail to interest all who listen to one and witness the other. The beautiful points of the piece were made with astonishing effect, th by her and by Mr. ‘Wheatloy, who personated Ju: lien St. Pierre. 6 other parts were we Pparided for and made up an excellent cast from the stock. The ning’s entertainment concluded with the farce of Woman?” which went off well. There w: with ‘applause. Mrs. Mason was called out at the end of the first piece, and received the commendation whiclmber performances merited. To-night will be por- formed “The Hunchback,” in-which Mrs. Mason and Mr. Wheatley will appear. Bowery Tuxatne.—Mrs. Shaw, the great star of at- traction at the Bowery at present, fills the house to over- flowing overy night. Last evening she appeared as the Countess in the play of“ Love.” and most admirably did she deport herself. Wehave on many occasions borne testimony of Mrs. Shaw's rare accomplishments as an actress of the highest order. We are conscious of hay- inggmeted out to her the praiso she so eminently desery- ed when she appeared here before, but we are certainly inclined to praise her yet further than we ever did. We doubt, however, if there is any occasion for it. Her fame is 20 well established, that, like good wine, it rests on its own merit. She will appear this evening as Margaret Ellmore in “Love's Sacrifice.” The grand national dra- ma of “Lafitte, or the Pirate of the Gulf,” will conclude the evening’s entertainments. Bowery Cincvs.—All who dosire to witness the per- formances at the Bowery Cizcus this evening, had better procure seats before the doors are opened, because there is every probability that the place will not contain one- fourth part of all who will wish admittance. Mr. Draper, the obliging and gentlemanly treasurer, takes # benefit, this evening, and he certainly will receive a bumpin one. We cannot possibly make room for the mention the attractions that are set forth for the occasion. They are so numerous that we must refer the public to the amusement column for » perusal of them. We have only room to say the amphitheatrical talent of this re- gion have volunteered, and have pledged Mr. Drapor that if their exertions will do it, that be shall have one of the largest benefits that that establishment ever pro- duced. With such attractions as aro set forth, and with such 2 host of talent, there is every reason ‘to believe that their pledge will be fully redeemed. Ma, Avexanven tue Macicran.—This distinguished adept fm the black art will perform a new series of his sur- prising feate this evening, in tho Minerva Rooms. By the aid of bis knowledge of necromancy mechanism, magne- tism,chemistry and natural philosophy, he not only amuses but in some cases paralyses tators by his mysteri- ous and unaccountable tricks and deceptions. There is un tinsel about Mr Alexander, neither is there any of that bungling which wo see in other performers, Whatever he does, he does so perfectly-as to completely deceivo, and to convince all who see him, that it would be useless in them to attempt to discover the manner in which he performs his feats, Yr. A, Adams, the tragedian, is dangerously ill, at the Mansion House, Albany. His friends were sent for, and arrived from Massachusetts on Saturday last. It is said that Mrs. Jones, the late manageress of the Montreal theatre, has been lost by the destruction of a steamer on the Mississippi. Musical. Irauian Orena.—Verdi's opera of “I Lombardi” will be performed at Palmo’s this evening. The beautiful manner in which this opera is produced, the full and excellent chorusses, give ita peculiarcharm. There are, too, some exquisite airs and concerted pieces, which are well adapted to the powers of the company who are to perform it to-night. There is no doubt but the house will be well filled. A growing love of music is apparent in our public, and when we can have such entertainment as we have been furnished with Cigale aad seAson, there is no fear but weshall do ourjbest t the opera. Muss Bramson’s Concert.—The concert which Miss Bramson has advertised to give this evening at the Apol- lo rooms, will, it is expected, attract as large an assem- blage of the beauty and fashion of New York as was ever seen in those rooms. Our readers are aware that Miss Bramson has peculiar claims on our citizens. She is quite young, and has evinced a most extrao: talent, that needs only encouragement and patronage to do credit to the country. She is induced to give this concert by the advice of her friends, and we sincerely hope that her numerous admirers will flock around and sustain her on the oocasion. Indeed are sure they will, She will be assisted by Mr. Jules Hecht, a teacher and composer of celebrity, from Germany, who has more than once been greeted with rapturous applause when he performed in company with Madame Pico, She will also be assisted by Madame Korsinsky,a vocalist ofgreat merit, and also by Mr. Timm, with whom every one is acquainted. The programme is rich, and together with the merits of Miss Bramson and those who will assist her, gives promise that a more pleasant evening cannot be spent in any place of amusement in the city than at the Apollo rooms this eveni If this concert be not well attended, we shall despair of the public taste. Tur Camranatocians.—These unique performers will give another of their rich entertainments to-morrow evening, at the Tabernacle. Their reception here this time is fully as flattering as it was when they first.appear- ed, and the U igcadee as fervid. This is probabl; the last time that they will perform in this city; and all of our citizens who omit hearing them, will lose an op- portunity that will never occur again. The Campanaio- ope form a com) company of themselvos, each takes is , andhas own sets of bells, which he manages with the most per dexterity, and rings in unison with the others, The whole forming the most ecnplete and novel melody that our citisens have ever listened to. ‘We hope that they will receive the patronage which they 80 well merit. + Fanewevt Festivat.—Mr. Bradbury's farewell festi- ‘yal takes place to-night at the Tabernacle, Samuel Lover was to give an “Irish Evening” at In- stitute Hall, Natches, on the evening of the 7th. Hers and Sivori gave # concert before leaving New Orleans, the pi of which were to be divided be- tween the Orphan Asylum and the French,4erman, and Italian Benevol ietios. : City Intelligence. Scrromo Munven.—-A sailor, by the name of John Lawson, together with some of hia shipmates, were cruising on the Five Points on Monday night last, when a muss was c yy several of the Five Point rowdles, which resulted in a general rough and tumble fight, in the course of which Lawson received @ severe cut on the d and breast, leaving him senseless on the ground. He was finally ploked up by his comrades, and conveyed to his boarding house, No. 65 Cherry strect, where, after lingering for several hours in a state of insensibility, he expired yesterday afternoon frem the effects of the injuries. ‘The decensed was a ship y ter on bourd of the ship Agnes, Just arrived Panton.

M. Arnit Suowens.—We had a change of weather yes- terday, and it began to rain about 1 o'clock. Towards evening it began to clear up, and the weather was ex- tremely mild and spring-like. New Ferny Boat.—A beautiful new forry boat, called the Wyandunk, too jace in the Fulton Ferry line on Monday There splendid eompauion for her shortly to appear on the South Ferry lim Ova Municirat Arrains.—We learn that General Stryker is also a candidate for the office of Receiver of ‘Taxes. He will undoubtedly make s good officer. Deatm sy Imremrenance ano Exrosune.—Corener Walters was called yesterday to hold an inquest at No. 97 Cherry street, on the body of Jeremiah Barrett, a nn- tive of Ireland, aged about 40 years, who died sud at the above named place, yesterday morning, from t effects of intemperance and exposure. Conoxstion oy tux Brain axp Luna Walters held an inquest, also, at No. 65 Cher on the body of John Lawson, a native of Sweden, aged 36 years, who camo to his death by congestion of tho brain and lungs, , Verdict accordingly. Surcioe.—The coroner was called to hold an inquest, also, at No, 382 Broome street, upon the body ef Andrew Sitcher, a native of New York, aged 69 years, who oom- mitted suicide by taking laudanum. It appears from the evidence adduced before the coroner, that the deceased has been laboring under great depression of spirits, owing to pecuniary difficulties; and that about two weeks ago, he purchased some laudanum, and expressed his intention of taking it, as he was tired of living ; he subsequently seemed more cheerful, and his friends were encouraged to believe that the deceased had relinquished the idea of such a result, until it was discovered that he had taken the fatal dose. Verdict—suicide by taking Jaudanum. Drowwen.—An inquest was held, aiso.at No. 91 South street, upon the body of Thomas Savage, mate of th thip Ayrshire, a native of Ireland, aged 36 years, who ac- cidentally fell into the dock, at the foot of Burling slip, and was drowned. Verdict accordingly. Scarectep Ixranticipe.—A policeman, while passing along Greenwich street, yesterday, found on the stoop of romises No, 238, » small box, containing a dead male infant, but recently born. An inquost was held upon It. Vordict—death by some cause unknown to the jury. ‘The Weather. ‘While we are warming our fingers here, we have the satisfaction of knowing that we have plenty to keop us company.
