The Caledonia will leave Boston to-morrow noon tor Liverpool, The mails of both will close in this city to-day; those of the New York at noon, and those of the Caledonia at 44 o’clock in the afternoon. We are authorized by Mr. Thomas, the agent of the royal’mail oa board of the French steam- shi), te state, for the information of the com- mereiil community, that letters, parcels, and newspapers will be received on board till the moment of her departure, that is to say, from the closing of the mail at the post office at twelve e’elock, nntil che steamer leaves her pier at the foot of Clinton street, East River.

IMPORTANT NEWS CITY OF MEXICO, SPEOIAL OVERLAND EXPRESS NEW YORK HERALD. | Our special overland express from New Or- leans has again placed us in possession of some highly exeiting and important intelli- gence from the seat of war. It will be seen that the news received at this office by express last Friday was correet, except in one particular, namely, that the Mexicans had supplicated for the armistice. It appears that it was asked for by General Scott, at the instance of the British Embassy. Two terrible battles, or rather a suc- session of battles, had been fought by the Amer- icans and Mexicans, and a series of splendid victories achieved by the Americans. | News from Europe. | Another packet ship arrived yesterday from Liverpool, whence she sailed on the 17th ult., only two days before the last steamer. We may now the more confidently expect later in- telligence from Europe by a packet ship, unless the Union soon makes her appearance. Tue Case or Priuz, Wanp & Co.—The suspension of this extensive private bank- ing establishment, will not create so "much embarrassment in financial circles {as first anticipated. The liabilities of the house are mot near so large as reported, and there is every probability of a resumption taking place immediately upon the receipt of advices by the next steamer. Should the accounts from Eng- land be at all favorable, every farthing of their debts will be promptly paid. The surplus exhi- bited is very large, and it would take a series of serious losses to make the concern bankrupt A very large amount of their bills have been protesied for non-acceptance, which places then: in better po ition than if they had been pro tested for non-payment, as the property upon which the noo-accepted bills were drawn falls again into their hands, and is appropriated to their liquidation. Bills protested for non-pay- ment take their chance amongst the liabilities of the house upon which they are drawn. Tux Sreamer Wasuincron.—The company having completed the improvements on the Washington, she wil. take her berth at Pier No 5, North River, this afternoon. She will come down under steam, and will take a few turns in the bay. We are informed by the agent, that the principal part of her fuel and stores are already on board for the voyage, and that she is full of freight, and has a very fair list of passen- gers. She will positively sail on the 23d instant. We shail give to-morrow a full account of the improvements and alterations made upon her. Tue Yevtow Fever in New Orntgans.—We hope thatthe New Orleans papers will publish the numes of those who die in that city ot the yellow fever. We are frequently requested to give lists of the names in the Herald; we do pub- lish ajl those we find mentioned in the New Or- leans papers; but they ,are necessarily imperfect and iccompiete. It isa sad duty that the press of that city owe to the thousands in other cities who are daily \osing friends and relatives by this dreadful scourge. Tnx Curcaco Convention.—We believe that the Executive Committee of this Convention are to meet at the Astor House, at 10 o’clock this morning with the Hon. Abbott Lawrence, of Boston, in the chair. They are to adopt some | course of action for the next meeting of Con- gress in Washington. Toxxs Istanv,—We have received the Turks Island Gazette to the 24th ult. It contains no news | bya 8 Inte! Tne Weatmr had another very sudden and unexpected change of weather yeaterday.

We long for fall weather, Miurrany.—The “French company,’ Capt. Lonati, ee ee ~ city, have been organized by t! er in chief, and at by Colonel Brooke Fortiey. "°° ‘he 94 regiment, ‘Tre Cuinese Juxx.—We informed the publi or two sings, that in consequence of some dis eas ake ing ocourred between the Captain and the Chinamen who navigated her, that the former could not leave this city as soon as he expected. and that he had wisely de- clded upon keeping bis craft open for exhibition as long as be shall remain here. We now learn that she will be | off in a day er two, and repeat our recommendations to | every one to new her. Aut ron Womax.—Edward MeBride, a young man of | ronpectable connections, during a short residence on Long Island, became desply enamored with a young lady, who, however, did not reciprocate his attachment, In oonserusuee of which he repaired to this city and en- id board about ® month ago, at the house of, a Mrs. Reid, where he has repeatedly exhibited symptoms of insanity; and at an early hour! terday morning be went into the outhouse and in- | lcted « horrible gash across bis throat with a ragor.

Again we are in possession of some highly important intelligence from the seat of war, thirty-six hours in ad- wance of the mail, The special and extraordinary overland exprees for the New York Herald, reached Baltimore last evening from New Orleans, with the Picayune of that city of the 8th Inst. ‘That paper contains the arrival at New Orleans, on the 7th inst., of the steamer;Mary Kingsland, with the particulars of the two battles fought by General Scott under the walls of the city of Mexico. They were ter- rible conflicts, to be the hardest fought battles of the war, and are called those of Contreras [perhaps Coyoacan] and Churubusco, and not San Angel. This news was telegraphed from Baltimore to the New York Herald office, and we ley it at once before the public. The Telegraphic Despatch. Battimore, Sept. 14, 1847—Night. ‘The overland express for your office has just arrived, and I hasten to telegraph the news to you. It is of the greatest importance. According to the Picayune of the 6th inst., the Mary Kingeland arrived at New Orleans on the 7th from Vera Cruz. She brings the much desired and anxiously ex- p cted intelligence from Gen. Scott. The two battles between the American and Mexi- ins, victorious to’ the former, were fought at Can- tweras, or Coysacan, and Churubuceo, so called from the field works of the enemy. The proposition for an armistice was made by Genera) Scott, and it is supposed to have been at the inetonce of the Britigh Embassy. ‘The report, hitherto given, that the city of Mexico was at the mercy of the American army, seems to be unfounded, and should peace not follow from the ne- gociations then pend ng, another batt/e would have to be Sought. According to a letter from Mr. Kendall, dated Taca buys, Aug 22, the Archbishop’s palace of that place was occupied by General Scott and a portion of the American army, after defeating the enemy in two of the hardest fought battles of the war. Annexed are the particulars of the mancuvres, and brilliant fights, together wit; an incomplete list of the American officers killed and wounded. On the 14th August, rec nnoisencs made by Colonel Duncan, having satisfied General Scott that a road for artillery could be cut from Chaleoa to Sun Augustin General Worth’s division moved in that direction on the 15th, followed by Generals Quitman, Pillow, and Twiges By this movement a new line of operations was taken on the southern and northwestern sides of the city of Mex- foo, and the strong works of El Penon and Mexical- cingo, on which Santa Anna had bestowed such immense labor, were completely turned. On the 16th General Worth marched as far as the Pacienga of San Gregoria, when « halt was ordered by General Scott, as General Twiggs had met « large force ot the enemy near Chalcos. Twiggs promptly or- dered the heaviest trains, (guns probably.) unlimbered, and after a few discharges the enemy was dispersed.with & loss of six killed. On the 17th, General Worth resumed his march over s terribly bad road, but by 8 o’olock in the morning he was in sight of the domes and epires of the capital, with- out opposition, except that rocks had been rolled on to the road, and ditches dug, evidently showing that Gene- ral Scott had stolen # march on Santa Anna. Onreaching this point, however, a scattering fire was opened on the head of his column by the enemy stationed in an advantageous position, which was soon silenced by Col. Smith’s light battalion of the 2d artillery, under Major Galb. Another aitack was shortly after made, but again the (nemy’s pickets were driven in without loss. At 7 o'clock on the 18th, General Scott arrived at San Augustine, At 10 o'clock General Worth was in fall mareh for the city of Mexico by the main road. Majors Smithand Trumbull, Capt. Mason and other engineer offlcers, were sent in advance, supported by Capt. Blake's squadron of dragoons, to reconnoitre, when a masked battery opened upon them, and killed Capt. Thornton, of the 2d dragoons, besides seriously wounding a guide. Col, Garland’s brigade was then ordered to occupy a position on the plain in sight of the enemy’s batteries at St, Augustine, whilst Col. Stark’s brigade and Dun- practicability of finding a road by which the village of San Angel could be reached, and the stronghold of San Antonio turned. or six, man. was ascertained that a road could be made, The Mexi- cana were plainly seen in force near Bronteras, and at a council held that night it was determined to attack them in the morning Whilst this reconnoisance wes golng-on, Gen, Worth had established himself at the Hacienda of Banera, from could bo seen at work upen the batteries.of San Antonio About nvon they opened upon the Hacienda with both round sbot and shell. Nearly every shot took effect, but did no damage except to the buildings, Late in the evening they werp again opened, but wore silent during the night. Had the fire been kept up, the hacienda might have been torn to pieces, and the entire command compélled to retire, At eight o'clock on the morning of the 19th, the batta- Newburyport, smong children, for some time past, seems wwe eseadlog more © edulis than hitherto, lion again opened on General Worth’s position.

At So’clock General Cadwalader was ordered out to support Col. Riley, reinforcements being seen on their way out from the city, whilst General Pearce was sent to sustain Gen. (Col ) Smith. ‘The firing from the enemy’s batteries was incessant. About 4 o’ciock, General Scott arrived, and seeing the immense strength of the Mexicans, at once ordered General Shields’ brigade to support Riley and Cedwal- lader, and prevent, if possible, a junction of the forces coming out from the city with those of Valencia; but few of the movements of our own troops could pe seen but every motion of the enemy was visible. The order of battle of Valencia was most imposing. ‘The infantry were seen drawn up to support the batte- ries, whilst long lines of the enemy’s cavalry were sta- tioned in the rear, as if waiting the shock of the battle Two separate charges of the latter were distinctly seen to be repulsed by Col. Riley. Until night had fairly closed in, the fring from the enemy’s batteries had not slacked. It had been a continuous roer for nearly six hours. Gen, Scott retired to San Augustin about 8 o’clock, in the midat of a hard raio,and Gen. Twiggs and Gen. Pillow, came in about 11 o’clock, completely exhausted, not anticipating the great strength of the works of the enemy. It was thought that the batteries could be taken ‘at a dash, and that the troops would all be comfortably quar- tered at San Angel forthe night. Instead of this,a larce portion of them were compelled to bivouac without blankets, in the midst of a pitiless storm. On the 20th Worth was ordered to move with a part of his division, Garland’s brigade, to aid in the attack on Valencia, as to force this position, was deemed indiz- pensable. At 7 0’clock, a few discharges of cannon were heard, a rattling of musketry, and some even said, that in the distance horses of the enemy could be seen flying towards the city, yet few deemed that the batteries had been stormed and carried yet. It was so. Gen Scott himself accompanied General Worth, and started for the soene of action, when they were met by Captain Mason, with the joyful intelligence that Valencia had been completely routed, after » terri- ble struggle. The attack upon his works was planned by Gen, Smith, and resulted in the capture of 15 pleces ofartillery, and some 1500 prisoners, among them Gens. Blanco, Garcia, Mendosa, and the notorious Salas. He also captured all the ammunition and camp equipage, whilst the road over which those who escaped fled was strewed with muskets. No less than seven hundred of the enemy,among them- many officers, were left dead on the field, whilst thenum ber of wounded was far greater, and the works of Con- treras completely in the power of the American army. Gen, Scott at once ordered Gen. Worth to full back on San Antonio, to turn and capture that work, and then push on towards the capital by the main road, whilst the main body of the army moved on towards San Angel and Cohoycan, Gen. Twiggs had scarcely moved half a mile beyond the latter village, when @ rattling fire of musketry an- nounced that it was actively engaged with the outposts of the enemy,and the heavy booming of cannon now gave token that the noted second division had fallen on another strong work; a few minutes more, and tre- mendous firing from the right made it evident that Gen. Werth’s division was actively engaged. He had com- pletely turned the strong works of Santonio, but while doing so the enemy had abandoned the place with the loss of three heavy guns, and had fallen back on a second stronger line of works, It was now one o’clock in the afternoon, and about the commencement of the battle, and such a rattling of fire arms has seldom or never been heard on the continent of America, accompanied with such booming of artillery; and this was continued over two hours, when the eue- my was completely routed from every point, and until those who were not killed or taken prisoners were in full flight for the city. ‘The strength of the enemy at this place was known to have been at least fifteen thousand, and many say twenty thousand, all fresh troops, and in a position of uncommon strength. Opposed to them were about nix thousand Americans, jaded and broken down by march- +8, countermarches, and incessant toil At Churubusco the Mexicans say Santa Anna com manded in person, but that he retired early. The young men of the capital, from whom so much was expected, nearly all fled, without firing a gun. ‘The loss on our side has fallen most heavily upon the South Carolina and New York voluuteers—the 6th In- lantry : nd Smith’s Battalion, and the batteries of Capts Magruder and Taylor. The South Carolina regiment was nearly cut to pieces. Thirteen Mexican Generals were, killed and wounded More ammunition was captured than General Scott has used since he has been in the country. The following is the terms of the armistice agreed upon whilst the commissioners of the two governments sholl negetiate terms of peace; — “Neher army is to be reinforced, nor build new defen- ces during the armistice, nor go beyond its present line; 4n short, the two armies are in no way to interfere with each other, without 48 hours notice.

Coutins —There is no country Perhaps, where national character is so strongly marked —none where native humor so richly abounds, as in Ire- land. It is original, and entirely sui generis, It is fall ot genuine nature, and has all the elements of fun mixed with those of wit and spirit. Miss Edgeworth has writ- ten elaborately of Irish bulls, and even as spirited sketches of Irish character. Lady Morgan’s no less ad- mirable sketches have whiled away many a long hour; and Lever, with his natural and high wrought delinea- tions of Irish scenes, and Lover's more recent exhibi- tions, have made us familiar with the whims and eccen- tricities of the sous of Erin. But thoroughly to appre- ciate Irish wit and Irisn character, the public must wit- ness Collins’ admirable delinestions, Since the loss of poor Power, he stands unrivalled and alone as the repro- sentative of this class upon the stage. His humor is quiet, rich end racy—his brogue natural and national— and gives great effect to passages of passion -to sudden transitions of feeling, and to every point of humor. His singing, too, is equal to his acting. His voice is a fine tenor, and his songs are given with such sweetness and archness that the effect is irresistible. In this respect he excels all who have gone before him. His perform- ance of the Irish Ambassador, lest night, was gentle- manly, chaste, and effective—keeping the house in roar; yet neither exaggerating nor violating the inten- tionsof the author. He {is the very spirit of fun, and diffuses life and laughter through the house. His enter} tainments are rich and delightfully amusing, and we re- commend every one who loves to laugh to visit the Park te-night, when Mr. Collins will appear in two of his best characters. His engsgement concludes in four nights, when we shall have the pleasure of welcoming the ac- complished Mrs. Mowatt, and her new play, s0 long ex- preted, so long looked for. CuatuaM Tueatar,—To-night we have three excellent pieces presented, vis: “Follies of a Night,” in which Mr. ‘Waloott and Miss Clarke play the leading characters, in @ splendid style—then the farce of “Kill or Cure,” whioh will certainly both kill and cure all kinds of me- lansholy, and the whole will conclude with the nautical drame of “ Tom Cringle’s Log.” All these pieces, with a variety of dan by Miss Deloraine and Mr. Yates, is surely enough for one evening Mr. Fletcher's marage- ment of the Chatham. shows how thoroughly he under- stande theatrical tactics, and pleasing the taste of the many headed public. Castie Ganpen.—The second performance of the “ Barbiere di Seviglia” went off last night, in much the same style as previously, and we need not give any other account of the opera, nor of the debutant Lorini, There will be no performance at the garden this evening, but to-morrow the celebrated opera of “ Remeo and Jullet,"” (which attracted such a large audience, and received, as {t deserved, unbounded applause, on Friday lest,) will be repeated by the Hispano Italian company ; the excellent Prima Donna, Tedesco , performing the part of Romeo. ‘This is the best answer she can give to some silly privato gentlemen who have said that she fell sick not wishing to appear in this part, as dent of her own ability, and not well sup rest of the cast. Tedesco will always be nera Caranti di Vita will perform the character of Ju- liet. This is certainly enough to attract another audi- ence of over three thousand persons, who will undoubt- edly go. Patmo’s Orema Hovse.—Tue Ravers.—The enter- tainment of lust evening attracted another very large audience, nearly all strangers, among whom we remark- od several trés.jolis minoi’s. The English vaudeville the pantomimes, and the rope dancing, proved very ef- fective, and exoited rrars of laughter. To-night there is a very good bill offered by the Ravels, for the benefit. of Mr. Lamanna, the excellent leader of their orchvstra. The English actors will give the representation of “ Sketches of India.” which will be followed by the first act of “La irae during which will be danced a grand “ Pas de Deux,” by Mme.

Steamer Virginia and Mr Loper As the writers of the notices alluied te, are evidently writing about what they do not fully understand, and the name of the undersigned being usid in a manner that calls for a notiee, you will, therefore, do me the favor‘of giving this an insertion, which will place the subject in its true light, and set your Philadelphia cor- respondent right in regard to the matter. Th» steamor Virginia was originally built in this eity with my mode of propulsion. It ia stated in your paper of this day." that my plaus and Capt.

Soon after the Virginia was built, and bofere she was rigged with sails, it was thought advisable to test her by @ sea voyage from this port to Boston. The vessel at thut time had two non-condensivg engines with eylin- ders two anda half fet stroke, and twenty inches diame. ter, anda boiler eighteen fost long, alX fevt diameter, with return flues ; blowers were used in order to keep a supply of steam; the vessel was loaded to nime feet. ‘The distance from New York to Saud’s Point, 25 miles, was run in two hours and ton minutes, at half tide; the whoie distance to Boaton was made in forty-five hours ronuing time, and we run from ,Nausett light to Boston, a distance of 73 miles, against a fresh gale and a heavy sea, at the rate of 5.6}, and 6 knote by the log; when we left Boston, the distance from the duck to the light house, nine miles, was run in fifty flve minutes in slack water. These facts were published at the tame, and can be substantiated by the very best of proof Soon after this the blowers were removed, the vessci passed out of the hands of the original builders, and was subsequontiy sold to the War Dupurtment, in the ser- correspen- vies of which she has not been the most efflvient, ae the small boiler in her did not correspond with the size of the wheels, which must be driven at the proper rate of speed, or there will necessarily be a loss of power. these were unfortunate circumstances, over which [hal no control at the time, and never have (to their discredit) taken advantage of these circumstances withdut-inves- tigating causes and their effects. Since the altezations were ordered for the Virginla by Gen Jesup, ® number of notices have appeared in the pupers of this city and Philadelphia, written with an evi- dent desire to throw discredit upon my mode of propul- sion. From whatever source these may have emanated, let it be said to those men not to be tn tuo much haste upon this subject. Very reapeetfully, Your obedient servant, PO EL ». F, ALDRICH.
