New York, Wednesday, October 14, 1847. SEES ‘The News from Mexico. We give in this day’s Herald some additional intelligence relative to the capture of the city of Mexico. It appears that the Mexicans evacuated the city and retired to Guadaloupe, to prevent a bombardment or an assault. It was taken pos- session of on the 15th ult. The battles were fought on the outside of the city, between the 8th and 13th, 'The Protestant Episcopal Convention. The case of the suspended bishop of the diocese of New York has at length come before the General Convention, in a shape which en- sures it being acted upon decisively, and very soon. That functionary sent in a memorial to the House of Deputies yesterday, referring to the particulars of his case, the trial, sentence, canons, &c., and praying that justice might be done in the premises. This memorial was re- | ferred to the appropriate committee, and we may look for a report very soon. When it is made, the most important business of the ses- sion will have commenced. We refer our readers to the report of yester- day’s proceedings, in this day’s paper. American Mail SteamersThe Postal Arrange- ments with Great Britain. It has been repeatedly stated that the agent of the post office department ia Europe—Major Hobbiz—had succeeded in perfecting all the ne- cessary arrangements for the transportation of letters fromthe United States to Great Britain, in American steamers, and that hereafter there would be no difficulty relative to charges, &c. Such is not the case. We do not know what success Major Hob- bie may have met with on the Continent, but we know that he has nothing to do with the negotiations going on between the United States and Great Britain relative to this subject; consequently there is not the least foundation for the reports which have been so generally circulated, and which even the reput- ed official organ of the government published, about this matter. The American Minister in London—Mr Bancroft—is the representative of our government upon this question, as well as of all others of like importance, and notwith- standing his most strenuous efforts to make ar- rangements mutually advantageous to both coun- tries, he had not, up to the departure of the last steamer, been successful. Immediately after the arrival of the steamer of the 19th of September, we made a statement to this effect, and we were surprised to see, a few days after, in the Union, a statement that everything had been amicably arranged. Our statement was based on better authority than those made to the contrary, as the result will show. No amicable arrangement has been made, neither is there any probability of one being made. The British government have ex- hibited, thus far, in the negotiations upon this question, the most determined opposition to the establishment of an American line of mail steamers between the two countries; and it is our impression that every obstacle will be thrown zm the way of their success. There is nothing so annoying to the go- vernment of England as the progress mak- ing by the United States in the construc- tion of war steamers, and the employment of them in the commerce of the country. It sees in this movement the establishment of a steam navy, which must ultimately prove the grand bulwark of the nation. England envies our growth as a commercial nation, but she is | more jealous of us as a naval power, particularly in the branch in which she is at preseat so immea- surably superior to all other nations. She will not, therefore, encourage the extension of any line of mail steamers, by making any favorable postal arrangement. Affairs in South America. Our readers will no doubt have noticed, without perhaps attaching any importance to the subject, an account of the arrival of Lord Howden, the British ambassador, at Rio de Janeiro, from Montevideo. Some of the deep schemes and plans of the British government in view of the advancement of British interests, may, we think, be detected in this and in the late movements of British diplomacy at the River Plate. Inall national affairs itis always best to look ahead as far as possible. It is well known that England never ceases in her efforts to promote the interests of her com- merce by means of commercial treaties, grant- ing exclusive favors to her, which are ex- torted from every power over whom she is able to exercise any influence. Such an object, no doubt, is connected with the late movements of the British ambassador between Montevideo, Buenos Ayres and Rio Janeiro. It is not to be supposed that the Emperor of Brazil would willingly be drawn in to make concessions to England to the prejudice of other nations, and to the crippling of the commerce of hisown empire. What, then, are the probable inducements and constraining influences by which British diplo- macy will endeavor to succeed in driving Brazil into her own terms and overreach her in mak- ing a bargain? The solution of this question will be tound in the late movements of the British in the quarter of the Rio Plate. When, by the withdrawal of England from the alliance with France against Buenos Ayres, President Rosas was left to become, ultimately, master of Monte- video, what could Brazil expect to follow but open war with the Argentine Republic, and per- haps the loss of her province of Rio Grande by civil and foreign hostilities? It is not at all unlikely, in this view of the matter, that England withdrew from the River Plate, to wait an opportunity to place Brazil in such a position of fear and danger as would make it her interest to conciliate Eng- Jand by treaty sacrifices as degrading to the one as advantageous to the other, in order to seek the aid of England, or have it proffered to her, to gua- ranty the integrity of her empire on the Rio Grande. This political management becomes more transparent, when it is considered that the loss of the rich province of the Rio Graade may become, in the course of events, inevitable to Brazil, without the guaranty and protection of some other strong power, The questioa to Brazil will then be, “ what is this fine conntry worth to you 1” ‘The answer goes to settle the amount of claime and exactions on which England may insist in ad- justing anew commercial treaty with Brazil. It 19 to be observed that soon after the time when the old treaty with Brazil expires, under which that country made such heavy sacrifices, all these | movements are made by England, and the | train set in motion which places Brazil, as it were, in her powe It is to be hoped that Mr. Tod, our newly appointed ambas- sador at Rio Janeiro, will prove himself equal to this crisis, should it ever arise, and a match for the British in having an eye to Ame- rican commercial interests, in whatever treaty Brazil may enter into with foreign powers should she ever enter into onv. : The whole ot South America is rapidly be- coming the scene of stirring events. 1647, 1645, , Dem!

They numbered, exclusive of of- ficers, 868 men. The names of the officers we gave yesterday. eer ‘These companies have been raised in confor- mity to the recent act of Congress, uthorizing two more companies to be added to each regi- ment of artillery. The men appear to be excel- lent, especially those of the two companies of the Ist regiment, raised in this city and Pough- keepsie, by Captains Knowlton and Van Ness. On the 10th instant, a detachment ot the 12th and 13th regiments of Infantry sailed from this port for Vera Cruz on board the ship Orphan.— On passing Charleston, the ship is to take on board another detachment for the same regi- ments, making in all 350 men. The officerg are as follows :—Muj. Marrigault, 13th Infantry Commanding ; Capt. O. P. Hamil- ton, 12th Infantry ; Capt. H. E. Clark, 13th do ; Lt. R. M. Thorn, do do. The surgeon of the detachment sailed in the Empire, is Dr. Washington M. Rye, of New York. ‘Theatrical and Musical. Panx Tueatae.—Mr. Hackett and the Viennoise chil- dren appeared last evening at the Park, before s large and fashionable audience, by whom their performances were received with the greatest applaure. ‘The evening’s entertainment opened with the farce of “Love in Livery,’’ which created » great deal of merriment. Then came the “ Pag des Fleurs,” by 42 of the children. This beautiful dance has lost none of its charms, and the little fairies are as skillful as ever in their movements and changes. ‘‘Monsi ur Mallett”? was performed by Mr. Hackett, in his own inimitable style, and drew down great applause. Next in order was a grand divertisement by 24 of les danseuses Viennoises, which was, as well as the frst dance, encored. The comedy of ‘His Last Legs’ fol. lowed, with Mr. Hackett as O'Callaghan. This was also anexcellent performance, and took wonderfully well. ‘The children then danced “Le Pas des Moissoneurs,”’ in which 48 of them joined. This evening Mr. Hackett takes his benefit, on which occasien he will play Falletaff, in the “ Merry Wives of Windsor’; the dancers appear- ing in three picces, to which will be added the petit co- medy of “A Kiss in the Dark.”” Bowery Tuxatne.—If the Bowery theatrg was ever, filled, it will be filled to-night; for to-night Mr. Waldron the Treasurer’s benefit will take place. There is hardly public person in the community who deserves better of the public than Mr Waldron does. For years past he has been known to play-goers in the most favorable light —as a gentleman accommodating to a fault, and as one who was ever willing to exert himseff, without reference to his own convenience, to oblige all when called upon. Known in this favorable light, as he has been, and for such a long time, too, we cannot but think that he will have in excellent benefit, particularly as the splendid plece, the “‘ Siege of Monterey,” and the drama of “Jack Sheppard,” will be performed on the occasion. Cuatnam Turatne.—The new play, the“Bridge of Kehl, or the Soldier and his Son,” which we referred to in yosterday’s paper, is, we perceive, laid aside for the present on account of the manager having engaged the celebrated American tragedian, Mr. F.8. Connor. That distinguished actor will appear this evening as Cardi- nal Richelieu,and to all Who have seen him in that char- acter we need hardly say that he does it ample justice. In fact, that is his character peculiarly, as 0 know Mr. Connor willadmit. After Richelieu,Miss De Loraine | wili dance a pas seul. Mr. Winans will sing a comic song in his own partioular way, and then the serio-comic wntomime of “Don Juan” will be formed—Mr. ‘arnes taking the principal character. Enough, surely, te fill the house. Etmiorean Sexenavens.—Messrs. Germon, Stanwood, Harrington, Pell, White and Howard, who compose this band, are certainly not only excellent harmonists and vocalists, but also truly scientific musicians, and the music of many of their songs is taken from the first operas. The “Phantom Chorus” from the ‘Somnambula,”’ is an example oftheir scientific knowledge of musio, and it is one of the greatest favorites with the audiences.— Their instrumental performances also are excellent, and the beautiful piece of “ Love Not,” is given by the cordion snd other instruments, in’ most pleasing man- ner. In fact, an evening with these serenaders is one of certain pleasure. Cunrsty’s Minstrets.—Notwithstanding the many places of amusement now open in this city, which are more numerous than has ever been known at any one time in New York, these inimitable and original per- formances are nightly overflowing Mechanics’ Hall with the beauty and fashion ofour city. The eee of the house is sufficient to hold an audience ef nine hundred reons, and we have no doubt if it were twice the size, | Jt would be filled, if we are to judge from the numbers | ¥ho cannot obtain admission. They are really deserv- ing their great suocess, Music in Bnooxtyn.—Henn¢ Herz ann Camitio Sivoni’s Concent.—The residents of Brooklyn will en- joy to-night one of the richest treats of music that has ever been presented to them. The famed compositore and talented maestro, H. Herz, whose elegant style and admirable execution,have been somuch appreciated since his arrival in this country, is to give a concert at the Fe- male Academy, in company with the great violinist, C: millo Sivorl. To say anything more than we have already said in our columns in praise of this extraordi- performer, would be superfluous. We refer our reders to the fame he has acquired, not only in New York, but throughout the United States. Madame Fleury Joly, the talented cantratrice of the French Operatic Company of New Orleans, will assist ese two wonderful and will sing two pieces, osta Diva,” from Norma, and “una voce poco fa’’ from the “Barbiere de Seviglia ’’ M. Weitzell will also appear. M. Herz has selected among his numerous sompoattions, his variations on “Lucia di Lammermoor,” “ Le pre aux Cleres,” and “the last rose of summer;’’ and Sivori, “La Campanella,” (the small bell.) and the “ Carnaval of Venice.” The entertainment will conclude with a duo concertant between the two |e rbd on the motives of ‘William Tell.” Undoubtedly the attrac- tion will be great for the inhabitants of Brooklyn, who unless living on the Heights, have rarely such an occa- sion of seeing the stars of the musical world. The con- cert commences at 8 o’clook. ‘Tue Havana Travian Orena Taoure have arrived in town, and not being able to procure a house appropriate to the production of the opera, they have determined to bebe po of concerts at the ernacle, of which jue notice will be given hereafte: Gex.

Hi pear- ance is prepossessing; the demeanor, both of herself and of her husband, the plaintiff in the suit, was both digni- fled and respectable under the trying ordeal to which both have been subjected, under the painful circumstan- ces of the care. Mr. Jonpax, on the part of the plaintiff, opened the conse, giving « detailed narrative of the alleged criminal familiarity and intercourse had between the defendant, Mrs: L., and the parties charged, a Mr. Sheffer and a Mr. Steinhyle, who became boarders in the family some time in 1842, sanctioned, an was alleged, under the garb of friendship by the plaintiff. It appeared that the plain- tiff went’ to Eurove upon some business occasions sub- sequent to his arrival atand occapation of his residence at Staten Island, and the family difficulties hereupon arose, on the grounds of the alleged familiarity and intercourse. ‘The dénoument of the transaction, it appeared. occurred onthe occasion of the arrival of the plaintiff from his last visit to Europe,in 1945,when he is charged with hay- ing made a murderous assault with a dirk or knife, upon the persons both of his wife and the principal party ao- cused as her paramour, having stabbed both, namely, Mr, Sheffer and Mrs. Lynde, in a fit of enraged jealousy or passion, and for which no proceedings at law had been as yet taken. We give a mere outline of the principal—the main features of the case—and do not feel ourselves authorized to give the ex parte state- ment of counsel on either side, in the present atage of the proceedings: ‘The teatimoay of Miss Mary Lynde, the daughter of the parties, which had been taken de bene esse, unfolds the main facts of the case. A large array of witnesses will be produced on both sides, and the defence involves some extremely knotty points of law. The following are the facts testified to by Miss Lynde, as taken on her examination, in writing. ‘This deposition was the firat put inand read. It was a voluminous paper, showing the extent of the alleged iutimacy existing between Mrs. Lynde, her mother, and Mr. Sheffer. It went on, after detailing several particu- lars, toshow that Miss Lynde saw her mother sitting down with Mr. Sheffer, and sitting side by side, on a eet. tee, with her hands 'r sting on Mr. Sheffer’s hands; this was in 1845; she observed her mother’s clothes and hair, at one time, much disarranged on one occasion, and during her father’s absence in Eu- rope; her mother went to New York also, after her father left home in 1845; her mother got » bath ticket on one occasion in the city of New York; Mr. Sheffer gave the mother two fans and a emelling bottle, aga present. The testimony went on to show, after the father had gone to Europe, she saw Mr Sheffer and her mother in New York together, and one day on another occasion, while the father was absent in Eu- rope; Sheffer usually came home from NewYork about 3 o'clock every day, and Mr. Steinhyle about 7 o'clock ; saw the mother and Sheffer playing chess together on another occasion; saw the mother write on a bit of pa- per and hand it to Mr. Sheffer on that same occasion, and he put the paper in his pocket (the writing which ‘was produced to witness when her testimony was being taken); she stated she believed it to be like her mother’s handwriting; on another occasion when her father last returned from Europe, witness returned from New York, and heard her mother say to Sheffer, “Do not, answer any questions Mr. Lynde may ask you about me. | ask you this asa favor.” ‘This was in 1845, on the occasion of their leat quarrel, In her cross-examination, it appeared that witness testified she was eighteen years of age, and had been at school at New York, and also in Boston; was taken to Bedford by her maternal aunt, Mrs, Hart; isa day scnolar at Mrs. Lowell's, in Boston; had no musical instrument in their house at Staten Island; went unwillingly to Bedford; did not suppose that she was wanted to prove the charge of sdultery against her mother—that {s, that the charge was to be proven by her alone; her mother told Sheffer not to men- tion any thing about her to her father; saw her mother in Sheffer’s bedroom through the keyhole. ‘To a question asked witness in relation to an alleged at- tempt on part of Mr. Lynde to assassinate Mrs. Lynde, witness's mother, it appeared by the written testimony that argument was heard on part of counsel as to the relevancy of the question, which it was contended by counsel, was not pertinent to the issue.
