We have received files of papers from the city of Mex- feo to the 14th April, from which we translate the fol- | lowing paragraphs. Our readers will observe that the Mexiean journalists tell some tough stories about the operations of Gen. Taylor and Col. Doniphan. These falsehoods are well calculated to arouse the Mexicans to a determined opposition to the advance of our army. The Mexican papers continue to claim as their own the victory of Buena Vista, or Angostura, and ure filled mocking remarks of the Americans for stating that they won the victory t Republicano anys that Santa Anna, before leaving for Cerro Gordo, made an oath in the presenoo of seve- ral generals. not to treat with the Americans for peace, ‘and that he had disapproved the surrender of Vera Crus. for which he had ordered Generals Morales and Landero to the castle of Perote, where they should ewait their trial for their conduot. The Government had decreed that every place in the vicinity of the Capital should be fortifiled—Generals Al- monte. Bravo, Rincon and Agea were appointed to sn- intend the fortifications about Tepozotlan, Venta de Dordova, Tepenca, San Juan de Teotihuacan, &e. It ik sald that some of those Generals refused to accept of the commission, stating that they required intelligent engineers for the purpose, Gen. Almonte left on the T4th to commence his duties by reconnoitering the road from Venta de Cordova to San Martin Tesmelucan. ‘The following persons have been appointed to super- Intend the fortifications at the Capital: Gens. Don Be- nito Quijano, Don Jose Mariano Salas, Don Lula Guz- man, Don Mariano Monterde and Don Casimiro Liceoga. | ‘A paper from Queretaro states that the Santa Clara nuns had given 15,000 pounds of biscuit for the army. El Monitor. of tho 13th, statws that a great fire took place at Monterey, which commenced at Gen.

From the Phila, North American, We had a report from the South yesterday, that some movement was contemplated in Mexico, in which the services of the Marine Corps were to be exclusively em- ployed, ‘There has been no clue as to the nature of the service, but we have no doubt that something is in pre- paration which will give this valuable but much neglect- ed arm of the service. full and honorable employment.

One of the steam Lays gp ine recently built here, under the superintendence of Capt. R. F. Loper, transport agent for the government, was tried this morning, and found to work admirably, notwithstanding the disad vantages of agale blowing from the north-east. General Jesup, Col, Stanton, and Major Tompkins were on board and expressed themselves highly gratified at the speed obtained, The engine isone of Lopers’ double propeller patents, and is certainly admirably adapted to a propeller boat. Jt occupies bit a space of five feet square, with a cylinder twenty-six inches bore, and twenty-four inches stroke; the cog-wheel attached to the shafts of the propeller are but half the size of those putin motion by the engine; consequently they make two revolutions to each stroke of the piston.

New York, Sunday, May 16, 1847. American Relief for Ireland. The people of the United States of America have been, for some time past, and are now, en- gaged in one of the moet philanthropic works that a Christian people could undertake, viz :— feeding the hungry and clothing the naked, which they are prosecuting in a manner that willreflect credit on their character, and that will make tears of gratitude flow from the reci- pients of their bounty. As soon as they were made acquainted with the extent ofthe famine in Ireland, and learned that without assistance thousands and tens of thous- ands of the Irish people would perish for want, in a spirit of fraternity and benevolence without a parallel in the history of our race, they buckled on their armor and went forth to meetthe dreadful foe, who threatened the annihilation of a large portion of their fellow men. The contest was nobly and bravely kept up. Thousands and thousands of dollars flowed into the treasury of the Relief Committee—thousands aud tens of thousands barrels of flour and other kinds of provisions were forwarded by railroads, steam- boats and canals from all parts of our immense country, to the same committee—all of which were despatched to their destination in the most expeditious manner possible. This is an expample of Christian benevolence and charity. Here is an outpouring of gratitude to Providence for the innumerable blessings this favored land enjoys. Here isa work which causes rejoicing in the realms above, and practically carries out the command to “ feed the hungry, and clothe the naked.” The amount of money received by the New York relief committee to this date, is $144,000. The number of vessels despatched by the com- mittee to Ireland, and their cargoes, is as follows: Tue Quantity or Foop Sent To Ine, Bark Victor. . + bbls corn meal, 14 bxs clothing. 60 “ Fame. . do do Brig Duncan. .. 1,820 do do = 1,900 bushels corn.

It must not be supposed that this table consti- tutes the whole of the relief contributed by the American people for the relief of the Irish. Bos- ton, Philadelphia; New Orleans, Baltimore, Newark, Jersey city, and other seaports, have each and all sent vessels, likewise, onthis errand of merey,and reached the land of famine in time to save thousands of our fellow creatures from death by starvation. Monarcny 1n Mrxico.—Some time since we published some letters that we had received from the Island of @uba, from Florida, and other places, and also some extracts from French pa- pers, on the subject of the European powers establishing a monarchy in Mexico. These: letters and extracts, dove-tailed mto each other so well as to form a perfect whole, and to excite the suspicion, at least, that there is something of the kind in contemplation. We published the whole, and recommended them to the careful attenfion of our readers. When they appeared, several of our contemporaries laughed atthe affair, and attempted to throw ridicale on it; but an article which we extract from the New Orleans Delta, and publish in this day’s Herald, and other articles which we have seen, contain precisely the same facts and surmises as we published. We, of course, are not sure that any thing will result from the in- trigues now going on. There canbe no harm in watching the pro- gress of events, let them lead where they will. Musical. IraLian Orena.—To-morrow evening the Italian com pany at Palmo’s will perform the third act of Donizetti's opera of “Lucia Lammermoor,” and tho second act of Coppola's opera, “Nina, Pasza per Amore.” The act of Lucia, selected for the ovension, will give the audience the benefit of Benedvtti’s and Benevento’s splondid per- formances in it, enough of itself to attract a full house. The second dct of * Nina’ contains those charming duos between Pico and Beneventano and Pico and Bene- detti, which are the delight of all unprejudiced listeners, and also the dialogue which occurs betwoon Sanquirico and Benedetti. The bill certainly is an excellent one. and there is no good reason why the house should not be filled. On Wednesday evening, Rossini’s grand opera of “Semiramis” will be performed, and Signora Amelia M. Valtellina will appear again before the public. The: are some circumstances connected with the appearan of Signora Valtellina, which will bear a recital, showing forth as they do, an act of noble generosity in the fuir voculist, When it was announced to the manage- ment of the opera, that Signorina Barili would not, on account of her illness, be in condi- tion to sing again during the present season, they were thrown into a state of the utmoxt perplexity What should they do?) They had made their arrange- ments and entered upon the season ; their subscribers were looking to them for the promised entertainment, and cost it would they were determined to 4 through and prove to their patrona that they were to be relied upon for the performance of whatever obligations the assumed. But what was to be done? who could be be found to take the place of Barili? Placed in this dilemma, Signor Banquirico called upon Signora Valtel- lina, and laid the case before her, proposing for her to take the place of Barili, and offering her whatever price she might demand for her services. And here the gener- | osity of Valtellina appeared ; she at once consented to | Oil the vaeant place ; but instead of taking advantage | of the peculiar circumstances Jn which the managers placed, and demanding a high price for her ser- vices. she proffered them asa free offering to the mana- gers, This was indeed nobly done, anda handsomely wet by Signor Sanquirico, who, agreeably surprised at the resalt of hiv mission. tendered to the obliging benefit, which will take place on Tuesday, tl inet. hi tiste w ith And when that evening arrives we have no doubt music loving will evince to the lady how well appreciate her disinterested genorosity. Cunutr’s Mixstxets.—This prpular and original company of meledists, still continue their inimitable performances every evening this week, commeneing to- morrow. Their sucoesa in this city is without parallel, having been crowded nightly for the past three montis. Tie Attecissisye have just roturned to the sity, having been very successful in their tour through the principal cities and towns in Connecticut. Caste Ganvrx.—Wo mentioned yesterday that the admirers of sacred music had a trent before them this evening at Castle Garden, and recommended them to Avail themselvos of it. We now repent our recommenda- tion, and can confidently say that they will not be dis appointed. They will be assured of this when they are informed that Dodworth'’s Cornet Band will be the per- formers, and that some of the most admired and sublime pieces of sacred music will we executed by this band The concert will commence at cight o'clock. and the price of admission is fixed ut tho small sum of 124 cents.

Thayer, who claims to be the Public Administrator, &o., under the new lag Faden nist vs. Henry P. Wanmacker, who refuses be supe! esterday morning Mr.’ Thayer, through his counsel, D. . Fields, Esq., presented for judicial aetion, the fact, that by a joint resolution of the new Common Council he had bean appointed Public Administrator in place of Mr. Wanmacker, who refused to recognise him as his successor; and he referred to Ist Rev. Stat. 114, to main- tain the legality of the appointment. James T. Brady, Esq, late corporatioy counsel, for Mr. Waumacker, con- tended that the whole power to make such an appoint- ment was merged underthe new constitution, as the of- fice of Public Administrator was, by that instrument made one to be filled only by a popular election; and that it is truly a State, not a county office. He referred to the 2d section, 10th article of the new constitution, to show that as the Public Administrator is not a mere char- ter or corporate wr, he must be elected by the people at a legal election, and’ Mr. Brady argued that it was a matter of duty on the part of Mr, macker, not for the emoluments alone, but to retain for the people the elective pri which the new Constitution have guaranted to, them; as every act of Mr. Thayer, eee by the new Common Couneil. would be void.

Edmonds will give his decision to-morrow; but before a final resort can be had to the higher court, the election, according to Mr. Brady's doctrine, will have taken place, and the courts themselves will have ceased to exist. Keerer or tHe City Parson.—Yesterday, (Satur- day.) was the day designated for the newly appointed keeper, Mr. Edmonds, to take possession of the city pri- son; but unfortunately, by some accidental arrange- ment, the aldermen had nominated and appointed 13 deputies instead of only 9, thus making four more depu- ties than allowed by law, which mistake created some considerable confusion, ‘It being rather » difficult roat- ter to obtain four men out of this number willing to re- sign his chance to be filled by another, consequently the aldermen adjourned, until one day this week, for the Purrore of reconsidering thelr nominations, and ena- ling them to prune out from the 13, the unlucky four individuals, who have been thus placed on the roll of de- puties. In'the meantime, the present occupants hold over until the difficulty is amicably arranged. Finss.—A fire broke out yesterday morning in the paint store occupied by Mr. Gray, 89 Roosevelt street.

Thomas & Maxwell. near Maiden Lane, It appears that the fire was first discovered in the room occupied by Levi Chapman, ket book manufacturer; the other parts of the butid- ing were occupied by Mr. J. H. Cassidy, printer, and others. The police of the seoond ward were promptl: on the spot, and likewise the firemen, who, in their usual quick and effective manner, very soon extinguish- edthe flames, The building was but slightly damaged by fire, the groatest injury having been done by the immense quantity of water thrown on the property.— The origin of the firo is supposed to have been the work of an incendiary.

On the 26th April, pas- sengers crossed the river on the ice, and within a week the trees were showing the green tips of their budding loaves. ‘The length of tho winter has kept back trade very considerably; nevertheless, there is reason to ex- pect a good business season, It is probable thut the ex- ports from the St, Lawrence will far exceed those of previous years. In connection with this subject we may mention, that instructions have reached Montreal from the Home Government, directing the authorities here to allow American vossels to load at Montreal.— "Vhis, if not too late, is likely to afford considerable fa- eilities to our shipping business. Hitherto, flour could come to Montreal In American barges, and American ships could go to Quebeo; but between the two porta there was a great gulf, which made an expensive tran- shipment necessary. It is much to be regretted that the ion was not sooner accorded, or the law made known. Our shipbuidlers and forwarders are doi! they can to avail themselves of their advantages. Seve- ships havo already been launched at Quebeo, and two magnificent steamers of the largest size will be started this season, one on the Quebeo, and other on the ton line. ‘The Montreal Bank has declared @ half yoarly divi- dend of 4 per cent, payable on the Ist of June, It is also announced that at the next annual meeting on the 10th June, the proprietors will be asked to decide on the propriety of petitioning the Legislature for permission to increase the capital of the institution by an amount of £260000, which will raise tho capital to £1,000 000 ourrency. By the statement of the Provident Savings Bank to the 31st Dec ., 1846, it appears that the institution holds deposits to the amount of £161.183; showing an increase during the of £3,262, The number of depositors ‘was 3,120, of whom 2,325 were depositors of sums under £50. ' The profits on interest during the year, carried to the guaranty fund was £5,318. By the quarterly state ment of the same institution, it ‘appears that the in- crease of their deposits to the quarter ending the 3lst of Mareh. was £5,546. By the annual statement of the City and District Sa- vings Bank to the 5th of April, it appears that their de. posits from the 26th May, 1846, amounted to £29,350 3s, 94., the profit on interest, less expenses, was £241 6s. 9d., making £29,681 10s. 6d, the amount in hand. A new bank is to be shortly started at Quebec, and another in Montreal. The latter, to be called the Banquo des Marchands, is principally, we believe, in the hands of French Canadians. It obtained its charter last session, and the Royal assent to the bill came out last mail. ‘The tolls on the several rc ads on the sland of Montreal, have been let for £6,192, The roads are six in number, and the circumferenee of the island, about fifty miles. ‘The Corporation of this city, has recently made @ con tract for water pipes, to be made by a Montreal foundry, for £12 10s. cy. per ton; this is asid to be something cheaper than they can be imported for. A New Gas Company has also been started, which offers to provide that articlefor £3 per street lamp; being one-half of the price actually paid. ¢ had yosterday our two first arrivals for the season —the St. Andrew and the Cambria.
