Monarchy In Mexico. It will probably be recollected that we have on several occasions found it necessary to lay before our readers letters, and other evidence received from our correspondents in Havana, of an ia- trigue to establish a monarchy in Mexico. We went into details, which embraced the fuct, that France and Spain were concerned in this monar- chical enterprize. Our statements were ridi- culed; but we did not care for that. We gave them as we received them, and were willing that time should decide their accuracy. Itis our in- tention to follow the matter to the end, and «ive every statement that may be made, either there or elsewhere. We publish one in another column of this day’s paper, and we trust that it will attract the attention of the public. Ifa monarchy never again exists in Mexico, it will not be the fault of Spain or France, or even of England. MR. BENNETT'S LETTERS FROM EUROPE, Lonpon, 19th July, 1847. Affairs in France and Spain—The British Parliament—The Crops. The last accounts from Paris have created a deep sensation in London. Many here believe aud say that France is on the eve of another re- volution. The: recent trials and exposures of official corruption in Paris, coupled with the de- monstrations made at a great reform, or revolu- tionary dinner, given at the Chateau Rouge, have given rise to these expectations. There can be no doubt but French affairs are tending to somestrange catastrophe; but I doubt very much whether any thing out of the way will take place during the life time of Louis Philippe. The recent trials for corruption in Paris have, however, given a great shock to the public mind. ‘The great bulk of the daily press,jand decidedly the great mass of the people, are hostile to the existing government. Ina former letter on the state of France, I described the true position of affairs, which, every day since I left Paris, is pro- ving to be correct. Iu London, many persons expect soon both a revolution in France and Spain. Louis Philipye has lost «lithe sympathy of the British govern- meat; aud really I do believe they would encou:- ar acounter-revolution in France. But the con- dition ot Paris, and all France is most precarious. Nothing but the power of patronage and the army hold the government of Louis Philippe together for oue day. By this the Chamber of Deputiesund the populace are controlled—the one by places the other by the police; but the press and the popular feeling are terribly against the dynasty. During the last few months, the press h 8 teem- ed with histories of the old revolution, in all its aspects. Probably, five or six different his- tories, circulated in many thousands, have been yead with avidity, and revived in the present young generation all the energies and feelings of 1790. The most of these histories contsin eulo- gies on the men of that age; and even Robespierre himself has been elevated to the rank of a patriot and martyr. These works have been rapidly taking the place of the novels of the day in the public mind. Add to this tendency, the strange Arrivat or Emicrants.—The following, ac- cording to the Custom House books, are the ar- rivals of passengers at,this port, during the month of July:— From Great Britain and Ireland. . «France, seeeeee ‘Total, 0 We give these details to correct a mistake made aday or two since, when the aggregate number of arrivals was set down at 17,763. Ac- cording to the above return, the arrivals last month were 5,802 more than those in the same month in 1846. The increase in the arrivals at Quebec and Montreal, is proportionally greater than at this pert. To the Ist inst., forthe season, 63,729 were landed in those ports, against 26,836, to the same period last year, showing an increase in favor of this year of 36,893. The probability is, that at least 400,000 emi- grants will land on the shores of the United Scates and British North America, during 1847. Tue Quarantine Sration.—The necessity of the removal of the hospitals, now on Staten Is- land, to some other place in our harbor, is in pro- cess of agitation. We publish a communication on the subject in another column. If it be really necessary to have the quarantine removed to an- other location, we hope it will be done, and vice it Our authorities will have the facts placed before them, and upon these they must act. Tue Boston Terecraru Line.—We under- stand that the telegraphic line between this city and Boston is occasionally broken between Springfield and Worcester by the laborers en- gaged in blasting rocks on the Western Rail- road. Notwithstanding the efforts of the tele- graphic compeny, the fragments of rocks will occasionally break the wires. It is thought that the rogues in grain, who were engaged in cutting the wires on Monday last, will soon bediscovered. The Boston Travel- ler, of Wednesday, contains the following addi- tional particulars of their villany:— “The horse and chaise, which was left in the Need- ham woods by the party ‘who attempted to break the telegraph wires, was taken possession of by Constable Gouid, of that town, yesterday morning, and given up to Justioe Charles Rice, for aufe keeping. The horse was a gray, of rather large size; the chaise was of a dark color and was covered with mud It must have been driven at a very furious rate. Late yesterday afternoon, Mr. James B. Reed, stable keeper, of this city, came to Mr. Rice and claimed the horse and chaise, as belonging to nim. He states, that he let it on Monday forenoon to a person whose uname he does not know; that yesterday (‘Tuesday) he received a note withont a signa ture from this person, stating that the chaise hired by him could be found in a stable at Needbam,and explain- his conduct that he hired the cbaise to view some lots; that atter be got to Needham, he took a sudden fancy to visit Albany. and perhaps Buffalo; that, accordingly. he hired a boy to carry the horse and chaise to a stable, and took the five o'clock train for Worcester, & dollars were enclosed in the letter te pay t keeper for the use of his horse and chaise. This story is evidently manufactured In the first place, if a boy had been hired to convey the horse and chaise to astable, he would not have left it tied to a tree in the wood all night ; and again, the four (not five) o'clock train for Springtield and Albany does not stop east of Framing- bum; and the letter writer aforesaid, if he had got board. was hardly prepared for solong a journey, having no clothes with him save those upon his back. The owner of the wood lot in question is waiting for an offer from the city gentleman, and would be glad to learn the conclusion he has arrived at as to its value. He vbinks the gentleman, from the time he was in it, and from his peculiar way of travelling, must have had an excellent ery ry discover its beauties of nook and hollow, bill and dale, Theatricals, Parx Tneatrre.—Now that we have twice witnessed the opera at the Park, we will venture s somewhat moro extended article upon this interesting subject. Our epoch is marked by great moral, political and social revo- tutions, but these revelutions are equally as great in the world of art, as in the world social or political, and Ma- dame Anna Bishop, the principal subject of the present notice, is destined to produce that change in fashionable taste, that revolution in the musioal world, whieh will, in this country at least, place the opera, sung in the Eng- lish language and interspersed with English dialogue, beforeand above all others. And this is as it should be ; the mass, the “ million” in the United States, is, in point exposures of official corruption made by the re- cegt trials of Teste and his colleagues—the invi- dious splendor of the court—the hostility of the Parisian press—and the ominous dinner at the Chateau Rouge, and the aspect of all presents a combination of the elements of revolution that makes the government itself alarmed. It is supposed here in London that Louis Phi- lippe will endeavor to escape from a revolution in Paris, by fomenting one in Madrid, and in the hubbub endeavor fto place the Duchess of Mont- pensier on the throne of Spain. This would at once make a flare up with England—and a nomi- nal war with England would take off the French feeling, and thus prevent a revolution in Paris. This theory of the present state of things is plausible enough, but no one can tell what may take place next week. Paris and all France are now in a ticklish position—Switzerland is worse—Prussia and other parts of Ger- many are fermenting—Spain and Portugal are only preserved from revolution by foreignZpow- er. ltaly is ina rapid state of transition—Rome herself, with the present Pope, being at the head of the revolutionary movement. In short, Eu- rope has her hands full, and will be hardly able, under any circumstances, to interfere in any way with the matters between Mexico and the Unit- ed State: The British Parliament will be dissolved this week, and immediately after, the whole empire will be engaged in the struggle for the next elec- tions. How they will result no one can tell.— The general opinion is, however, that great changes will take place, and that a new division of parties is forming, that will efface all the old landmarks. The aristocracy, both whig and tory, are uniting and forming one movement— the middle ctasses and liberalists are also gradu- ally coalescing. The first assaults hereafter will be on the Church and on the entails of the land. The discussions and debates in the present ses- sion, are acknowledged to be useless, silly, in- conclusive and trifling. There is agreat change at hand. The crops are looking fine all over Europe— yet England will want some supplies from the United States. Arrains in Soutn Amenica.—A file of Monte- video papers, which we have before us, extend- ing from March to May, does not contain much interesting news. The major part of the columns of the Comercio del Plata are taken up with the endless discussions about Oribe, Rosas, English interference, &c., sprinkled with the accounts of several murders, apparently unprovoked. We perceive they cultivate the gentler sciences, as aclass of twenty were examined as to their xrowledge of chemistry, by Professor Senoble. Seven of them graduated on the 20th April last. Extras are issued by tue Montevideo editors on the arrival of important news. The Surgeons there are using ether in opera- tions. It has been officially recommended by the Brazilian government. A paper published in French, called Courrier dela Plata, a tri-week.y, has been started in Montevideo. Mr. Gore Ouseley, late English Plenipoten- tiary at Montevideo, was complimented by a letter from the French inhabitants, expressing their sorrow at his departure—this was on the 18th Mayas also one signed by seven hundred | and eighty natives. Arruictine Accinent.—Drowned, in the Ohio river, near Louisville, on the 14th ult., Thomas Byrnes and Samuel C. Wood, eldest sons ot Silas Wood, Eaq., of this city. None of the cir- cutnstances attending this unhappy event have as | vet been received by the afflicted family, of quick appreciation, knowledge of the world, intellect and taste, hundreds of years in advance of old Europe, and the great task of the true artist isto please that mass, to elevate and improve its taste, to cater for it, to com- bine amusement with instruction, and to perform that which will be understood and appreciated by the “mil- lion,” and which will aid progress. The truly American public, which is ever just and generous to merit, will judge as it ought, will judge as her talents deserve, and will certainly not judge more severely than the most criti- cal audiences in the world, those of the great San Carlo and Fonda, judged of this English singer, whom they insisted on keeping for no less than twenty-seven months, a8 prima donna assoluta di cartello, at thosa greatest temples of opera in the world. The plot of * Linda di Chamounix,”’ is #0 well known to our read- ers, from ite recent performance nt Palmo’s, that we will not at present detail it again. Suffice it to say, that it 8 a very pretty and interesting piece in its English dress. Mr. Barry of the Park, deserves a great deal of praise for the excellent manner in which it has been put upon the stage, the manner in which scenes, groups, &c., are managed, and moreover, for “‘ making up” a capital “speaking part” of that of “Paola,” which he played himstif, and which, in agroat measure, atoned for the weakness of Marquis Boisfleury, unfortu: repre- tented by Mr. Pearson, who sang the music passably, but is anything but comic. A great deal of credit is’ also dueto Mr. Chubb, the musical director, for the excel- lence of the choruses, which are better thaa we have ever heard them at the Park. The same remark might also apply to the orchestra, were there a few more, or at least one or two better violins. We now come to the prima donna, the only really great feature of the whole. Md’me Anne Bishop more than justified all the claims of her warmest friendsand admirers, As an actress, she is most Perfectly equal to her part, playing with a spirit, a reality of identification rarely found in a vocalist, Her dressing is most perfect, beautiful and in character. When the curtain rose for the second act, she was dis- covered in asuperb court dress of the ancient regime of France, powdered head and all, which took a great part of the audience so much by surprise, that scarcely any body recognized her. Her voice is one of the most pure, beautiful and effective we have ever listened to. In fact, beside Henrietta Sontag, (Countess Rossi.) we do not remember ever to have heard an artiste of the same beautiful equality of power. She is equally great irom first to last; in the simple ballad, the impresive aria, the impessionate cavatina, or the grandiose scena. And this exquisite equality of greatness is, perhaps, the cause that, to some hypercritical yet honest bearers, she ap- peared to lack somewhat in force. Had she been more unequal—bad there been passages with which the true critic could have honestly found fault—the other more effective (to the general ear) passuges, would have been more certain to antisfy those who prefer astonishment by starts, to quiet delight for hours. But our limits do not allow us further to particularise all the beautier of her style. or to refer more particularly to single parte of her performance. Three times, in the course of the opera, did the auditory insist ou the repetition of a piece. First she repeated her exquisite cavatina in the first act; then a beautiful ballad, “On the banks of Guadalquiver.” which she introduces by » most tasty and original recitative into the piece; and then the sinale A most beautiful trait of her singing is, that she never repeats the same fioriture passag:s jaan encore, but seems to possess a miost inexbaustible fount of ornaments, which n0 vocalist could porsibly use more judiciously. Nry Bailey received hearty welcome, sung charming. ly, Yooked nnd played well Her beautiful Savoyard ballad received much well-merited applause. Mr. Frazer does not dress the part assigned to him go weil as he might. We have heard him sing better in tune before now, although at times (as in the duet with Linda) he rather pleased us than otherwise. Mr. Brough is 60 well established @ favorite, and has. both axa man and an artist, 60 many friends here, that little faults in him are always kindly overlooked. Yet we could not find much tocomplain of, even if we tried He dressed, looked, and acted the part admirably, and in some scenes truly de- lighted us with his singing His fret eavatina especially Was well begun. and the soone with Linda in the second aot (the curse) was most artistically given. Bowery Tueatxe.—We have seldom seen “ Old Bow- ory” 80 jam full a6 on last evening. The attractive bill put forth for the occasion, could not fail to draw a re- spectable a house, which was literally crowded from pit to gallery, The entertainments commenced with the presentation of the petite comedy ot “ Ole Bull,” which Passed off with admirable effect. “ La Bayadere, or the Maid of Cashmore” succeeded, in which Miss J. Turn- bull performed the part of Zoloe, with much animation and ability. In this grand operatic spectacle, she was ably supported by a full and effective corps. ‘The dan- cing was admirable, and the chaste costume of the danc- ing Bayaderes, coupled with the superb dresses of the entire performers, added considerably to the effect pro- duced upon the audience. The bill will be repented this evening, and will draw vast crowds, The enterprising 4nd liberal management of Mr. Jackson, always present. ing an attractive bill, embracing the leading talent of the day, is always properly appreciated by his numerous patrons and friends, who nightly crowd this popular < } theatre, Patmo’s Orena Hoven. — Last evening the Lehman amily wade (heir best endesyors to Wve 6 new proof of their admirable ensemb/e and excellent skill. The“ Pag de deux Villagesis” by M’lies. Juliaand Flora was en cored and received with great enthusiasm by the audi. ence. It was, but justice. The rope dancing of Mr. ‘Winther and of C. Lehman deserved the same applause The ballet ot ‘M. Dechalumeau” was performed next, and we must confess, in spite of our remembrance of Gabriel Ravel in the character of Roquinet, Charles Winther made us nearly forget the first performer of that excellent farce. Mr. Schmidt playing the part of “Dechalumeau,” a fop of the days of Louis the XV, proved that he possessed an excellent know- i of comic and pantomimic action. In the “Mienuet de Nina’ he and the lovely Adelaide ve an evidence of refinement in, and scientific know- of, the accomplishment in the bewitching art of Terpsichore. The performance of to-night consists of “M. Dechalumeau,” and the “Living Skeleton,” two fine pantomimes, which, with the dances on the boards in the rope, will attract, undoubtedly, a very good audience. Castix Ganpen.—This evening the performances com- mence with the overture to Fra Diayolo,” and will be followed by the comedietta of ‘Turning the Tables,” in which Holland, Walcot, Miss Clarke, Miss Phillips, and the rest of this excellent company will appear, There will bes grand Pas de Trois by the Misses Wells, and a Highland Fling by La Petite Maryanne. Miss Phillips will sing two beautiful ballads in her simple, plaintive and unaffected style—after which, Herr Cline, for the last time, will exhibit his surprising f-ats on the tight rope. The ma agement have engaged Miss Roberts, of the Olympic, and Mr. Marks, the violinist, who will make their appearance on Monday evening next. CuatHam Tueatne.—The rage excited by the intro duction of the celebrated travestie on “Hamlet,” still continues to draw vast crowds nightly to this favorite place of evening recreation. Seldom has a piece been produced upon these boards that seems to give such sa- tisfaction to the crowded auditory that attend here; and Mr. Promain ains on popular favor nightly as he pro- ceeds. His Hamlet, in this piece, ia.a rich personation. full of originality and freshns Mrs Brougham’s Oph lia is an equally clever performances her points, and entire persenation ,are g: whole company acquitted themselves in a bighly credita- ble manner. The piece will be repeated this evenin, and the Chatham will be crowded to excess. Last ev ning every nook and available spot within the walls of this Theatre, were filled up. In addition to thi eo which is to be repeated this evening, the burlesque “ Life in the Clouds,” will also be presented Those apxious to shake off ennui and spend a joyous hour, should not fail to be present at the Chatham this eve- ning. Miss C. Wemyss, the young actress who made her debut at the Bowery theatre last season, is now playing in Baltimore. Her peformance of Julia, in the“ Hunch- back,” is highly applauded. ‘Mr. Anderson is playing during the present week ut Montreal, Mrs. Hunt is still at Chicago. Yankee Hill has purchased a house and about fifteen acres of land at Batavia in this state. Musical. Vauxnati.—This evening, Mr. Neel, the vocalist takes his benefit at the above saloon. Herz and Sivori will give a concert at Niagara Falls on Friday evening. ‘The Chrysty’s and band, are at Chicago. Sporting Intelligence. Uston Counse, L. L—Trortina.—The sport at this track, yesterday afternoon, was of [a superior order, and notwithstanding the lowering appearance of the heavens, the number of visiters was by no means meagre. Indeed, at an early hour in the afternoon, the roads verging towards the course presented very gay and lively spectacle, as fur as one was enabled to discern through the clouds of dust raised by the dashing vehi- cles, This annoyance, although the natural consequence of brisk travelling over the dry roads of the country, seomed unusually disagreeable yesterday—for while the dusty perticles insinuated themselves into one’s eyes, ears and nostrils, masses of the article would suddeniy ourl up, and envelope everything in an almost impene- trable covering—and as the different parties halted in front of Snedeker’s, it would have puzzled the most astute clairvoyant to have designated the original com- plexion of their garments. Speaking of annoyances, a word in allusion to the wretched condition of some part+ of theroad on the route, would not be misapplied—but the worthy toll-taker, with commendable modesty, !e ing evidently desirous of not exacting pay for tha which was not worth paying for, managed to keep aloot whenever a vebicle came up to the gate, and suffered it to pass through scot free—making but trifling amends, however, in case of a broken neck resulting from the inattention of the managers of the turnpike. Two engagements were advertised, the first being a match for $500, mile heats, best three in five, to keleton wagons, between A. Conklin’s b. g. Manhattan, and H. Jones’ ch. m. Maggy, which was won by the former, as will be seen below. First He —eeey was the favorite, driven wy Bead Jones; Manhattan handled by W. Whelan. ‘The mare drow the track. ‘I'he start was very even, but the mare broke soon after leaving tho stand, and Manhattan led to the quarter two lengths ahead of her, in 45 ne- conds. He held this advantage till near the half mile pole, when he broke, and the mare fled him past that point in 1:30, From there to the stand, the mare kept the lead, and won by about two lengths, Time, 3:1. Second Heat.—The backers of Maggy now became wild with her success, and four to one was offered and taken in large amounts. They got off well together, but the mare broke on the turn, and the horse led over two lengths to the quarter, in 45 seconds. Then both broke twice, but the horse had the best of the breaking, and he was farther in front of her at the half than he was at the quarter. Time, 1:20. From there round the turn, and half way up the home stretch, the mare gradually gained, but at the draw-gate she broke, and the horse led to the score two lengths in front, in 2:5934. Third Heat—This heat was very closely contested throughout ; in fact, it was the best inthe race. ‘They went to the quarter side and side, in 45 seconds; in the same way to the half, in 1:23; and continued round the turn without either being clear of the other. Up the stretch the struggle was sharp, but inside the draw-gate the mare broke, when the horse got in front, and led to the stand by a length, in 2:07. Fourth Heat.—They started this time finely, and went round the turn well together. The mare, however, appeared to be falling through us thoy reached the quar- ter, at which point the horse rapidly left her. from there to the stand he had it all his own way, and led home full four lengths ahead in 2:59. ‘Then came the great affair, which had attracted the larger portion of the attendants to the ground. It was for a purse of $250, mile heats, best three in five, be- tween Lady Suffolk to a skeleton wagon, and Moscew to asulky. ‘his was ssplendid trot, and one that will long be remembered by those who were witnesses of the sport. Th. time, too, was very fast, ene of the miles having been performed by Lady Suffolk in shorter time than has been before recorded—2:3334 to a wagon. Very little betting took place, the mare being the favorite at 10 to 6. ‘I'he foliowing 18 a short report of the contest:— First Heat .—Moscow drew the track, They came to the scorebeautifuliyamnd the word was given. ‘They made the turn side and side, and continued in that way to the quarter, which was reached in 40 seconds, Soon after luaving ‘there, Moscow broke budly, and fell off about sixty yards, the mare dashing steadily ulong towards the half, which she passed in 1:20; after which she took a slower pace, giving the horse 'a chance to close the gap, Bryant evidently feeling confident that there was little danger in even allowing the horse to take sides with him, and be continued toholdherin. Round the lower turn, and up the stretch, the horse wept very steadily, but he could not overtake the mare, She led home two lengths in front of him, in 2:4234. Second Heut.—This was @ grand struggle between these celebrated nags, from the start to the close of the nd drew forth the admiration of all the spectators, ‘They started as evenly as possinle, and at a rapid puce, the mare leading to the quarter by a length, in 39 Be- conds. She kept the horse in her rear to the half, by about the same distance, both going steadily and at » tremendous rate of speed. Time, 1:17, From here round the turn, Moscow increased his speed; but it only seem- ed to accelerate that of the mare; sue swung round the turn abead,, and in coming up the stretch, her action was imposing, aud surpassed anything we had ever seen. Moscow's movement was also superiur, and he kept well up with the Lady, but was unable to head her—the pace being too severe. Between the drawgate and the stand, he was urged so hard that he was unable to hold the pace, and burst into # tremendous ruu, im which way he assed the stand about # length behind the mare. ‘Lime, ey Be Third Heat.—By the time the nags were ready, rain began to | nod down in rather an uncomfortable manner, playing havoc with our, notes. The naga, however came up gaily for the start, and dashed away at the word in splendid style, At the quarter the mare led a lengib, in 39 seconds; but about widway between there and the baif she broke, when Moscow flew past berin au in- stant, and Jed to the post in 1:19. Bryant then shook the mare up a little, and she was soon alongside of the horse, and swung on to the stretch with her bead in front. Coming up at @ tremendous rate, Moscow broke and ran @ considerable distance, the mare keeping up & steady and reliable stroke to the stand, two lengths in advance. Time, 2:36.

This corvetce possesses quite an elegant form, and is is painted black, She is used as a school for the young Prussians wishing to learn navigation, in order to enter the merchant service. The seamen scholars on board the Amazone are forty-eight in number, and, with the other sailors, thirty-eight in number, form a crew of eighty-six wen ‘The deck of the A., which wo found to be very clean and wei! arranged, contains twelve cannons—eighteen poun- ders. The length of the man-of-war is one hundred feet,and hor breadth thirty feet. The masts and rigging are elegant, and we noticed a new invention for carrying the extra spars,&c. They are all tied together, covered with black canvass, with their ends terminated bys round shield, bearing the Prussian emblem, a double-headed black eagle. All tho brass piooes of the rigging are bright and clean, and all was inorder, except a part of the bulwarks which was stove in at sea, ten days ago, by an unknown veare, which run into her during a thick fog. This injury wil be repaired at the navy yard, where the Ampzone will be taken in a few daye. ‘There are three large boats and a small yawl hung to the side of the corvette. Annexed are the namos of the officers,whose politencas and urbanity will not be forgotten by us:— Commandant Captain of M. J. Schroder; First Lieutenant, M. Tachmana; Seoond do., M. Schirrma- cher; Third do., M. Hermann; Surgeon, M. Bach; Gene- ral Surveyor, M. Will; Professor of’ Navigation, M. Domke, Accompanied. by the gentlemanly commander, M Schroder, we visited his private cabin and the officers; room, and we must render justice to the elegance and comfort exhibited in this small space, by the builders of the Amazone,which was launched;at Stettin, on the Bal- tic. ‘This is oneof the five principal sea ports of Prussia; the others are named— Memil, Dantzic, Pillen, Stralsund. All these ports, though small, contain a great number of schooners, packets, etc., engaged in trade with fo- reign countries. The_sehoolon board the Amazone furnishes the own- ers of these vessels with men educated to command — We were very much pleased with the sight of these young men, They look fresh, healthy and happy.— Their cabins, under the deck, are clean and in good or- der. ‘The object of the visit of the Amazone to this port is mao for the instruction+of his crew. Captain S. in- tends to visit Philadelphia, Boston and Niagara. After that he will return to Prussia. ‘Tue Weatnen.—The thermometer yesterday did not reach higher than 76 degress during theday. We had threatenings of a heavy rain and thuader storm up to 7 o’clock, The day wascool and agreeble; and about 7 o’clock, P. M. it commenced raining. It began to rain heavily about 9 o’clock; and it continued up to a late hour. Tus Cuinese Junx.—Weare not in the habit of pun- ning, but we cannot help making an attempt now, aud that iv.that now is the time to go junk-etting along with the Celestiala whots at present with us. The fact is, there is no exhibition in the States so attractive as this one, and our southern visiters who are now thron; ing our hotela, will do well to examine her before leavin, town, as she will not wisit any other port on the Ameri- can continent, Sbe will now soon up with that extraor- dinary anchor, by means of those curious windlasses and cables, and be off for England. Like Macbeth’s gu it will be well for every one to “stand not on the ord: their gding, but go (und see her) American InstituTeE—Farmens’ Civ give a report in to-morrow’s paper of the excursion of the Farmers’ Club of the American Institute to Green- port and Sag Harbor, on Wednesday and Thursday last. Annivat or Emiorant Passencers,—The number of emigraut paseengers arrived at this port, during Tuesday, amouated to 698, the majority of whom were from Havre and Liverpool.

Mias Fox is in charge of Mr. Nestle at Buffalo, awaiting the arrival other father, who is on his way from Wisconsin Terri- tory, and it is expected that the parties will be in thia crty on Saturday. Common Council, Boarp or Assistants.—This Board held a special meeting last evening; the President in the chair. Some few petitions were received and referred. A communication from the Comptroller was received, and ordered to be printed. The Streets —The report from the Committee on Streets was here taken up. After defining the boundary of the different districts—consisting of six—the report provides that the contractors shall, severally, at their own expense, cause all the dirt, filth, and rubbish of ail and every kind, and manure, to be removed from each of the public markets, and such other public markets as may be hereafter erected, and the limits thereof, within their respective districts, every Sunday before the hour of ten o’eluci iu the morning, and every other day, ex- cepting Saturduy, before the hour of four o’clock in the afternoon ; «nd shall, severally, at their own expense, cruse a cert once in every day, except Sundays, from the first day of May to the first day of November, in each year, inclusive, and twice in each week during the residu. + yeux, aud on such days as the Superinten- dent of Streeis shall direct, to pass through each of the streets within the limits of their respective districts, for the purpose of receiving and carry- ing away, and shall receive and carry away, all vegetables, garbage, and offals of every kind that may be delivered to such carts, or placed in ves- sels upon thetside-walks, or in the area of, or upon the upper cellar step, of any dwelling-house, store, office or public building, and shall, severally, at their own ex- pense, provide # sufficient number of horses and carts, which shall pass through each of the several streets of the said city, within their respective districts, on such days 28 the Superintendent of Streets shall direct, at least three times in each week, from the first day of November in each year,to the first of May, then next following, and twice in each week durin, residue of tho year, for the purpose of carrying away, and sball carry away, all dead animals, cinders and ashes, shells, ‘and rubbish of every kind, which may have been made, or which have accumulated, in the several public buildings, stores and dwelling-houses, within the limits of their respective districts, and which shall be delivered to them, or placed in vessels upon the side-walks, or in the arca of, or upon the upper cellar step of, any dwel- ling house, store, office, or public building, or found in the street. ‘The report makes further provision for the sprinkling of the streets during hot weather—the removal of dogs and all other kinds of public nulsances—and in all it provisions may be deemed an excellent document. Should its provisions be “carried out,” it will be great boon to our citizens in general. ‘rhis ordinance was sdopted in 1844 by the Corporation in all its general provisions, and has been partially amended by the committee. The ordinance was adopted. Ayes, 13; ,noes,2. After concurring with the Board of Aldermen in somo papers that had been sent from that Boord, in relation to the construction of public sewers, &c., tae Board adjourn- ed to meet on the Ist Monday in September next. Police Intelligence. Important Arrest of Old Offenders.—Captain Mo- Grath, of the 6th ward police, und officers Bowyer and MeoManus, arrested on Mon Jay morning last three men. calling themselves David Bartlett, Goorge Howard, and John Allen, whom the officers foun. under very suspi- cious circumstances lodging at the Mechanics’ Arms, in Cedar street, near Greenwich street. Upon their arrest, two trunks were found in their possession, containing a quantity of jewolry, valued at about $600, and on “frisk- ing” their persons, over fifty dollars in bank billg were found. ‘They were at once taken before the Uhief of Police, who locked them up for examination, and means were taken in order to ascertain the owner ot the property, which resulted in the property being claimed ky a German pediar, by the name of John Brock, residing at No.7 Roosevelt street. It appears from the statement of the complainant, that on the 22d of last month, he was on a pedling trip at Buffalo, and put up at the Farmers’ Hotel, in Main street, and during his absence that evening, the accused parties culled at the hotel to visit 4 musician with whom they were acquainted, whose room was situated next to the pevlar’s, and finding the door open the rascals seized the poor pediar’s box, containing the abeve smount of Jewelts, together with over. $1000 in bank bills and gold coin, conveyed it into brick yard close by, broke it open, took out its o nts, and left the einpty box where it was subsequently fund The thieves immediately made their way for New York, ani no sooner bad they arrived than the above officers got on their track, “piped” them sround town, and finally made the arrest, which reeulted in the recovery of the stolen property, and will eventually terminate in the conviction of the thieves. We understand that the one callivg himself George Howard, is an escaped convict from Botany Bay, and Bartlett in but lately graduated from the Massachusetts State prison. ‘The one called Alien is, in all probability, a mew reoruit.

Justice Os! @ locked her up for # further hearing. PSteating Watches.—UMicers Reed and Shadbolt, of the 10th ward, arrested a fellow called Bill Smith on 4 charge of stealing two sliver watches, valued at $35, the property of Manuel Schieffelin. Locked up by Justice Ketchain for examination. ‘A Charge of Larceny.—Officer Burley, of the lower police, arrested. yesterday, Dr. H. ‘Traphagen, residing ht No’ 12 Dover street, an ® warrant issued by Justice Osborne, wherein he ands charged with scaling « landlord’s article of agreement, together with a recvipt for $32. It appears that Traphagen received the $32 from Mark Marte, residing at No. 174 Bowery, in pay- ment for one quarter’s rent, and on condition that Trap- hagan would surrender up the landlord's agreement, and give a hapar 04 in ees is hed # [ooo gets, | to neo and upon own pos- reasion, he requested permission to see the receipt and hich were handed him, and, instead returning them, carried them off.

Steer or Mu Gxnato's Cr.v.—We are pleased to learn that the dog which bit a child of Thomas B. Ger- ald, Esq., about two weeks since, does not exhibit the lvast signs of hydrophobia. The animal has been chain- ed up ever since in order to ascertain the fact.

Brooklyn is known as the “ City of Churches,” and we are not astonished at it, when we take into considera- tion that it contains upwards of fifty, and that several more are being erected.

Law inteliigence, Cincuit Count Room.—Before Judge Edwards.—The Slave Case?—Mr.J.8, Whiteresumed the argument yester- day morning,and continued toaddress the court untilone o'clock ; he was replied to by Mr. Purroy, who finished at tour o'clock.

The Court then ad- journed until to-morrow. The European Designs in Mexico. [¥rom tue New Orleans Delta, July 23.] We published, a few days ago, an extract from a Jamaica paper, in which the advantages of a monarchy in Mexico ure strongly advocated, and the intervention of European powers to bring about such a result, is warmly invoked, We have observed in other European papers, especially in those of Spain, similar sentiments and hopes, founded on like facts. Sufficient importance has not been attached, in this country, to this move- ment. We acknowledge that we were ourselves jucre- dulous of the Yirst statements in relation to this intrigue, and did not, indeed, yield dur scepticiem when the ex- istence of # monarchical party in Mexico was openly proclaimed by thé journals in that capital,and produced the revolution which hurled Paredes from power, and sent him to Paris, there to conduct and mature his un- sucessful attempt to deliver over his country to the vulture monarchies ot Europe. We still believed that it was only an electionecring trick—“a party cry,” a8 D'Isreali would call it—and, like the other ephemeral issues of a party strife, would ais with the revolu- tion and tumult which it begot. But we confess we were over-sceptical—we were blind to certain move- ments and intrigues which were going on in our very neighborhood, all tending to cooperate in the now too palpably evident design of Pare ies. have conversed with highly intelligent and communicative Mexican gentlemen, of high consideration in their country, from whom we have gathered proofs of the very great pro- gress which the monurchical scheme had made in Mexi- co. Col, Mata, a wealthy and higbly intelligent Mexi- can gentleman, who for several years has occupied next to the highest political positionin the State of Vera Cruz, ‘and who is considered, in the capital, as likely to take a prominent part in tife future transactions of theMexican Government, has embodied his views on this subject, in ® pamphlet, which we have already translated for our readers. He considers the monarchical party so strong aa to render it necessary that the United States should form an alliance with Mexico, to defeat the intrigues of the European powers. The monarchical party, strong in itself, was on the eve of gaining over to its ranks the reponderating party of the church, when this war Froke out. Such an alliance would be as fatal to liberty and republicanism in Mexico, as the Holy Alliance is in Europe. Andyet, how natural that such a coalition should be the result of the perpetual contest between the Federal or Puros. party and the Church Party. i the latter find that the inevitable consequence of the success of the Federal or Republican party, will be the downfall of the immense powrr and the expropriation of the vast wealth and property of the Church, how natur- al that they should seek the aid and support of a party whose principles and instincts are favorable to a wealthy hierarchy. In 1776, the parsons in Virginia and Caro- lina, alarmed for the safety of their glebe lands and their costly plate, loudly denounced the efforts of Patrick Henry and ‘T’homas Jefferson, to arouse the people of the colonies to the assertion of their rights and indepen- dence against the mother country. ‘'o this day, there are old time people in those States, who curse the memory ot Jefferson, on account of his zealeus and effective crusade agninat that powerful engine of tyranny—an eftablished Church. $0 it has been in every couatry In Mexico, although the priesthood took a conspicuous part in achieving the independence of the couatry, thoy did it in order to divert into their own coffers the im- monse tithes that were exacted by Old Spain, for the benefit of her own poor Church aud baukrupt Govern- ment. But here the party of the clergy stopped in their efforts to liberalize and enfranchise their couutry.— Having by the revolution seoured their own power and wealth, they took their stand most stubbornly against all progress and improvement. They aided iturbide in his attempt to imperialize mexico; they opp: sed with ail their might and zeal the revolution of 1524, and they have been sworn enemies of the Federal, liberal anu en ve parties ever since. They are now, beyond all doubt, ready to coulesce with the monarchical party, ‘a8 soon as the latter is abie to take an open and pubic stand inthe politics of the country. Just before the present war broke out, we learn froma very authentic source, that communicatior ere opened between some of the prominent politicians ot Spain and France and the leauers of the Church party in Mexico. Aleman one of the most influential and powerful men in Mexico, whose control over the clergy and the Church party is absolute, was known to be friendly to the move. Many other prominent Mexicans, including the chiet bishops and archbishops, were ulso secured to this purpose. The whole correspondence and a iarge part of the intrigue were conducted through this very. city, though Havana was the heodquarters of the plot in this hemisphere. The intrigue was a branch of the scheme whioh Louis Philippe carried out in other respects #0 stlo- cessfully and 80 much to the chagrin and annoyance ot John Buil, by which the reversion of the crown of Spain was secured to his own family, through the double mar- riage of Queen [eabella to& notoriously impotent hus: band, and of Louis Philippe’s youngest ron Lo U ly sister of the Queen he Queen Mother Chris was the maiuspring of this intrigue, 1f she did not cou- coct it. she certainly guve it form, substance and effect Nor did she take this great labor and res} bility upon herself without the promise of a reward commensurate with her great deserts. The stipulation in her favor— the compensation promised her—was the crown of Mexi- 0, the oldest and fairest daughter of Old Spain. Louis Philippe would come tothe ussistance of the monarchi- cal party in [Jexico, provided the Mexicaus would take Christina and her large brood to rule over them. 7’ Surther this scheme, Mr. Funes, who was the Spantsh Consul in this city and who is a bother of Munoz, the husband of ¢ ‘hristina. was sent to Mewico as Con- sul General, But, fortuaately, the overthrow of Pare- des aad the war with the Unite siatus, entirely frastra- ted, or at loast suspended, the plot Wesay “suspended,” for it is too feasible and promising s scheme to be given up altogether by the arch-intriquants who have embarked init, It behoves ux to keep our eyes open to this in- trigue: its bearing and consequendes should never be lost sight of, A monarchy cauriet be allowed to on our Southern frontier.

Our Relations with Mexico. From El Sol de Anabuas, (Vera Cruz) July 14 ] ‘The great importance of the intelligence from the in- terior, which we announced to the public yesterday, re- specting the appointment of commissioners to enter into conference with General Scott, excites in the highest degree, a curiosity to learn some substantial details of which no authentic information, that we are uwure of, has been received: for instance, whether the Congress bad re-assem! j and, if it had, whether, in conse- quence of the decres granting extraordinary powers to the government, but excepting, amoug others, that of entering into negotiations for peace, which the national representatives reserved to themeelves, the commission- ers Gorostiza, Baranda, and Tornel wero appointed dig rectly by the Congress: or whether, notwithstandin, the said decree, the government has since been grante the unrestricted power of entering into arrangements respecting the war; or whether Gen Santa Anne has resolved to take this step, in consequence ot the inabili ty to procure a meeting of the chambers. {lt was generally understood that Congress was to meet on the 7th inst., for the express purpose of taking into consideration the last communication from the Minister of State of the United States of the North; but, as we have said on another occasien, it was presumed, with some reason, that the meeting would not take place for want of the necessary number of deputies, who continued to absent themselves from the Seo of the Union, which is the seat of the national legislature. Neverthe- less, a8 we have, on the other hand, every day fresh cause for believing that in the city of Mexico pacific ten- dencies are predominating, which, with the suspension of the mareh of the American army upon the city, dissi- pates the fears of anattack upon it, we can easily under- stand, not only that deputies have ceased to leave, but that many ofthe absentwes have returned, for the purpose of taking part in the important parliamentary labors oft the day, to which it is evident to us that they have not the slightest repugnance, inasmuch as a decided majority, on the session of the 10th ultimo, rejected the proposition to declare # recess, as appears from the intelligence from the interior extracted from the newspapers of the capital, which we insert in another part of our paper. A question now su; iuelfto us: if the Congress has assembled, will it have adopted the resolution to open conference itself with Gen. Scott, or will it have dele- gated special autherity to the governmunt for that pur- pose? For our own part, we do not venture to form a decided opinion : we vacillate between the conjectures, that Conzress may have taken upon itself the manage. ment of @ business as responsible asit is foreign to its organization ; and that the same Congr ss may have re- posed in the government a confidence which it has given no evideuce of entertaining,from the moment that in the decree granting it extraordinary powers, it commenced by the exception of the power to enter into arrangements or negotiations relative to the existing war The resolution of this doubt is of the greatest impor- tance to a correct judgment of the disposition exist- ing among the high fanctionaries of the government with respect to pacific arrangements with the United States ; for if the Congress, in spite of the difficulties attending the business, takes upon itself the task of carrying on or directing negotiations, it will be a sign tbat it will acsept only an honorable peace, and that it desires to avoid the dangers which would result from pursuing a different course; but if, on the contrary, it commits the business to the government, it will be a sign that it de- sires peace at all hazards; for, whether with or without reagon, and in spite of General Santa Anna’s efforts to obtain the character of an advocate of the war, it is gen- carily believed that his private inclinations are not in favor of it. But if the government, in consequence of the faliure of Congress to assemble, or from a belief that it has au- thority to open negotiations, has adopted the measure of despatching the commissioners in question, then we must necessarily believe that General Santa Anna is already assured of « triumph of opinion in favor of this step, and that be, therefore, ventures to take the initia- tive, certain of being Supported by such a mujority as will silence the clamors of his opponents The following are the comments of the Mextoan Diario, of June 18, on publishing a translation of Gen. Kearny’s proclamation of the Ist of March last :—It is inordinute- ly exciting to the passions to behold the bad faith, the perfidy, and the sbamlessness of the govesnment of the United'States of North Amurica, in taking possession of, and acting as wasters in. a country to which they pebtey other title than the brutal one ofiozce and con- quest, We shall not enter into an examination of this debated point, as it has already been frequently discussed; but We cannot omit to present some casual reflections, which naturally oecur on view ofthe foregoing, in opposition to the bastard suggestion of the conclusion of a peace with the government mentioned. Leaving out of the question the hostile attitude which. the United States maintain with respect to us, which can never afford s proper basis for negotiation; and leaving out of view, also, the innumerable violations, as well of the solemn treaties concluded between the two powers, asof the sacred principles of international law; and, finally, even of the rules generally observed during w: the course pursued by the American government in the countries which it seeks to usurp from us, among which are the Californias, is sufficient of itself to induce us to abstain from such negotiations, and to repel every sug- gestion of peace. We perceive that there the United Statvs have not merely confined themselves to a military occupation, but already speak of establishing a gover ment similar to those of its ether territories. fow,inthe face of this, can anegotiation be opened? And, supposing that it should be opened, what wouid be the result of it? It is easy to foresee that either an ignominiour treat; would be signed, or the negotiations must be suspefded, and the war vigorously continued, as soon as knowledge was obtained of the extravagant pretensions of the Ame- rican Union, which, relying on its advantageous ition, would be governed neither by justice nor recipr@city— principles indispensible in every negotiation, and which, above all, would manifest, with respect to the Cali- fornias and various other departments in the north, its ambitious tendencies to the uli possidetis—thatis to say, . be permanent possession of the territories occupied ry ps. This eannot be concealed from any one ; even the par- tisans of peace are aware of it, but are unwilling or afraid to confess it We conclud», then, by a renewed declar- ation of our opinion that the word peace should nof even be mentioned while o single United States regiment is found in our territory, nor until things are re-established in the position in which they were previous to the first act of hostility on the part of that nation. This is in ac- cordance with law and with justice, and we flatter our- selves that it is the opinion of the majority of Mexicans, ARMY INTELLIGENC! ‘We learn that letters have been received by Gen- eral Brooke from the War Department, entirely ap- proving his acts in raising, equipping, and mount- ing the two companies lately mustered into service uader Captains Besangon and Fairchild, and af- thorising him to make a further requisition upon the Governor of the State for three companies of mounted men. These will be equipped and mount- ed like the two former companies. The requisi- tion, we understand, has already been made for the ad- tional companies, and the Governor will call for t! vt It is supposed that the companies will be readily raised—say one from the olty and two from the interior, The theatre of their services will be the cou try back of Vera Cruz, whither a large forve will be sen’ from different parts of the States. It is supposed that nearly two thousand men of all arms will be upon the line between Vera Cruz and Jaiapa, acting in a measure independent of Gen. Scott’s immediate command, keep- ing communications open, esourting trains, and fightin, guerillas. The service will be active and exciting, an hould suppose attractive to the best.olass of yolun- 8. It is @ great point gained to be equipped and mounted by the Government.
