[From the N, 0, Picayune, May 11.] By the arrival of the schooner Athos, Worth, we have one day later from Vera Cruz. the Free merican of the 4th inst, we extract the fol- lowing: We received dates from the city of Mexico last night, two days later than those received by Monday's mail. Aletter in the Monitor, dated Queretaro, April 25, says that nine deputies were still wanting to constitute aquorum. Tho same letter states that Senor Rejon, before resigning, his seat in the House, left a written speech against peace, and it is probable it will be pub- | lished. Gen. Almonte arrived at Queretaro, to take his seat inthe Senate. He is opposed to the treaty, and the government look upon him with suspicion. The two Senators of the district of Mexico have resigned their seats in ross. The writer closes his letter saying that he would not be surprised to see the government, before ratifying the treaty, dissolved, and each one take the road home. ‘The Monitor ia of opinion that Congress would meet on the Lat inst. It is reported that Otero is tho leader of the war party in the House of Representatives. Senor Micheltorina. one of the deputies, deserted his post, and left Queretaro: El Progreso, of Queretaro, says, on the 27th ult., that Congress will not meet. Quenerano, April 20, 1848 Yesterday the twenty-firat mecting, preparatory to the session of the new Congress, took’ place, and after the roading of many documents’ relative to the Depu- ties who have not yet wade their appearance (for want of money.) a note was addressed to the Minister of Fi- nance to the effect that he should cause remittances to be made to the absent Deputies of the funds neces- sary to defray the expense of thelr journey to. the enpital. ‘The continued arrival of the new Deputies, and the excuses offered by uch ashaye not yet reached here, presage a prompt dénowement. ‘Tho’ prevailing, opin- ion is that there will be peace. ‘The troops of the government haye obtained somv advantages over the revolters of Xichu (Sierra Gordo ) ‘These lust have had six killed and twenty-two wound- ed and mado prisoners, Still, the affair i4- not yet de- termined. ‘There was a report yesterday that the re- yolters had made their appearance within six leagues of Queretaro, at the hacienda of Chichimaquillas, with predatory designs, but they had not time to effect thelr purposes, Thx new eivil war bodes unhappy re- sults. By the next courier I will send you the law or pro- grmume issued by these revolutionists, The fétes of Easter have changed complotely the aapect of Queretaro. From being political it has be- come altogether religious, Labor of all kinds ix in- terdicted, and wo have nothing more interesting to communicate than the above. [From the N. 0. Delta, May 9.] ‘April 26, 1848. Crty oF Mexico, We received letters last night from Queretaro, and learn that they have not yet got a quorum,— They will probably suecocd in procuring the number ‘this woek. There are now members enough in this city on their way to make the requisite number. but they are not able to procure seats in the stage, and will, therefore, be delayed here until the latter part of this week. We learn that the Mexican government contemplate having a quorum by the first of next week, under any circum- stances. According to the present number necessary to form a quorum. they count in the delegations from Texas Yucatan and New Mexico ; by throwing them out they have enough prosent to form the constitational quorum. ‘There has been a meeting of the Ministers and General Gouncil; they have determined upon this course if it bo- come necessary; and, therefore, if they are driven to the alternative. that they will declare all the seats of the members vacant, and fill them up by persons who will attend. This last resort, however, they will not be driven to, nor do I think of even throwing out Yuca- tan\ Texas and New Mexico—but they will do so if it becomes necessary. Both the Mexicans and our authorities are confidont of tho ratification of the treaty; they are more sanguine than I have ever seen them. Mr. Clifford and Mr. Sevier were expected in Quete- taro on the'22d, and the most magnificent Quarters that could be found there were provided for them--to ray nothing of extra quantity of gas, etc.; they will no doubt be received there with “all the honors.” ‘They are expected to leave here to-day or to-morrow, with an American escort as far as San Juan del Rio—halt- way—and then they will be received by n Mexican ca- cort, and conveyed, with all the pomp and dignity, to the presence of the august Petia y Pefia and cabin it in a great pity Gen.

How he could spread himself on his gold-mounted saddle and bridle.‘ and his white-plumed chapeau—all cap- tured by his own hands! 1 expect the commissioners regret the loss of his valuable services, as there is no man here, of. bis rank, who can fill his place ! ‘The report of Bustamente marching on Queretaro turns out not to be so." This General is with the main hody of his forees at Dolores Hidalgo, north of San Luis Potosi. Every thing is quiet in the interior—so say the letters of lastevening. Yours, © MUSTANG Crry oF Mexico, April 28, 1845. ‘The city has been comparatively quict, for the past few days; and what is most singular to relat we have not had a rebbery or murder that I have heard of, either in the city or vicinity; but I suppose it is owing to the extraordinary exertions of our mili- tary police. ‘The all-absorbing topic is “what isthe news from Queretaro?" “ will we havea peace?" Who can an- swer the question ?—the present state of affairs incline us to believe there is a favorable prospect. The Mexi- can population have settled down on it asa certainty. and those who formerly opposed it. now acqui without much grumbling, ‘The government at Quere taro, apparently, are making great exertions to consum- mate their object. They ‘assert positively that they will have a quorum by the ist or 5th of the next month, and have determined, if there are not enough of mem- bers preseut by that time, they will throw out the re- presentation of the ceded territorios. and the State of Yucatan—by doing this, they will have some 12 or 15 over 4 quorum, aud a majority sufficient to carry any measure. At the first of the meeting of the Congress. they will contirm the election of Herrera, as President, and th formation of a new ministry will follow, which will fi cilitate affairs, The present Minister of Relations i man of considerable obiiity, Lat he ts mort wofull deficient in energy. I think it altogether likely that Senor Cuevas will go into the new cabinet as Minister of Relations. He ia aman of as much energy and in- dustry as I know of in the republic. and may give more stimulus to the actions of the Congress and the gove ment. Gen. Herrera will not affect much of himself in- dividually, but,he carries a great deal of strength with him in his supporters. ‘The Congress of Mexico, 1 do not think will take » responsible and decided action on the treaty. I think it altogether probable, that when they mect they will consider the treaty and the modifications, and debate its provisions to some extent—then they will adopt cither one of the two following modes: — Ist. Adopt the treaty as it was originally made and signed, and then authorize the government to accept or refuse the amendments and modifications of the Senate of the United States; or, 2d. They will, after debate, authorize the government to accept or reject the ori- ginal treaty, modifteations and atl—in cither case, burden of responsibility upon the exceu- nd his cabinet of councillors, One of these modes, n well informed will likely be pursued by the Con- gress, and it seems altogether probable, ws it is exactly in keeping with their character—however, whatever is left for the government to do, | have no doubt will be complied with by them—they are left in # position that thoy must act, and at the same time they are anxious to bring about a peace. if they can do it and survive afterwards. ‘The disturbance in Europe has its effect n breaking up the monarchists, Capts.

The government, writes my friend, is much annoyed at the non-attendance of the deputies, Almonte isin Queretaro, endeavoring to pro- duce a unciamento against the government, and pledges himself. if he succeeds, to either whip the Yan re ‘eos, or conclude an honorable peace—most likely to d neither. The government has not yet issued its cree, annulling the seats of the non-attending mem hers of Congress. An ercort of Mexican cavalry came out on the 24th to receive Mr. Sevier half-way between here and Queretaro, Mr. Sevier i« still here, and it is the general impression in the street that he is standing on points of etiquette, which may endanger the ob- ject of his mission, If Mr. Sevier wants to go to Que- retaro, he should be satisfled to go there under any guard that will insure his safety; it should make no | difference whether he is escorted from the lines drawn by the armistice, by American of Mexican cavalry.

Maj. Gen. Scott arrived here at 4 fock this evening from the city of Mexico, which place he left on the 224 inst, He was accompanied by the following officers: Capt, Harry Toulmin, A. Q.

His pro- gress, Lam informed, from the city to this place, was not attended by parade or show; but the people, both ‘Americans and Mexicans, crowded the citics and roud- sides, manifesting the most sincere attachment, and calling blessings from heaven for the protection of the old hero, The evening before he left. I am informed, he was waited upon at his quarters by Generals Vega and Herrera, as the r:presentatives of the “Me can republic,” to express to him their deep sense of obligation for the manner in which he had administer- ed the laws, both civil and military ; and in separating with him, they felt as if they were parting from their leader, instead of one who has boen their conqueror. Immediately on his arrival here, he was received with continual cheering, and salutes were fired in abun- dance, until he went on board the brig Petersburg. which is.to convey him to New York. The most affecting scone I have witnessed for a long time, Lappened on the mole as he was getting into the boat: An old one-legged soldier pushed his way through the crowd with his crutch, to speak to the General; he was received, and both embraced cach other very warlmy.

The Wilmot proviso was spoken of, and one man remarked that the d—d southerners would proba- bly oppose the admission of the delegation to the co’ vention on account of its adherence to that measur and it was strongly intimated that, ifsuch bo the ease, Mr. Van Buren would be a candidate at all hazards. Mr. Polk was also spoken of, when it was remarked that nothing short of a box of Brandreth’s pills could work out the nomination for him, and then it would require a larger quantity than gould be procured, to work him again into the Presidency, leaving all hopes out of the question for Mr. Polk among the barnburners, From some cause, the conyersation relative to the conven- tion was suddenly stopped, and there was a general call at the bar. Some of the members moved up and some down Broadway, while a small number adjourned at eight o'clock to the private room. The object of the assembling of tho delegation last night, was to make somo preliminary arrangements before starting for Baltimore, without disoussing the claims of the different candidates, One thing was very certain with them. and that thing was, “ General Taylor is too whi gish—that last letter kills him off.” Very little syn pathy was manifested for the General, and there is not the slightest possibility of any favor being shown him by the barnburners in the convention, even should thes be admitted; but if they be crowded out, then we'll see.

Addressed to Joux E. Hux, No. 7 Hoboken strect. Examination resumed.—John Cropsy and his sisters, Louisa Cropsy and Catherine Cropsy, were present at the wedding. Iwas 17 years old last October. | was married without the consent of my parents. 1 made no appointment to mect the prisoner at the resi- dence of Mr. Cropsy, but I went there myself and re- questod him to gofor the prisoner, who then attended a ar. 0ss-Examined.—The accused never attempts to deceive me in regard to his situation in life ; he never told me that he was married or not married.; he never alluded in any way to his first wife. John Cropsy told me that Garrett was a fin young man, and I ought not to take any notice of what might be sald about him. 1 am much attached to the prisoner; I did not institute the prosecution against him, but my brother-in-law did, and endeavored to set me against him, which he could not do; nor could any other human being do it. At . |-the time we were married, the prisoner made arrango- ments for me to live with him, and I believe that ho would have done well for me, Jonw Cnorsy examined—I know the prisoner by the name of Charles Garrett; 1 became acquainted with him at a ball in Tammany, Hall about nine months ago; I was present when he was married to Mary Fliza Decker; they were married at my residence, No. 63 De- lancy street, by the pastor of the Allen street church; iny sisters were also present; they were to have beon married at the church, but at the request of the minis- ter was sent for to marry them at the house; Miss Decker came to our house on the Sth of April, and re- quested me to go and inform Garret, who was then tending a barat the corner of Laurens and Spring streets, that she wished to see him, that. she had come there tomarry him; 1 accordingly called upon Garrett and delivered the message to him; Garret got ready, and went to our house immediately; I did not, until after this, know that Garrett had another wife, and when spoken to about it, he said that he would take his oath that he was not married, but had only kept a woman, Orricen Horxins recalled—I arrested the pritoner on board the Roger Williams aa she was about leaving the eity; the prisoner had shaved off his whiskers, put ona pair of overalls, a jacket and hat, altogether dif- ferent in their appearance from what he had usually worm, ‘The prosecution here closed, and the ease was opened for the defence; after which Joun Low testified that the letter (No. 1) was written by himself from the di tation of the prisoner, who signed it after it had been read over to him, [have known the prisoner between three and four years, during which period I never heard a word against his character until the present charge was preferred against him, I considered myself inti- mately acquainted with the prisoner, but never heard him speak of his first wife, and did not know that he had a former wife before he was arrosted; I then called upon his first wife, who stated that she should never interfere in the matter, as she had got another man of her own, 7 ‘The case was then submitted to the jury, who, after a short consultation, rendered a verdict of guilty, and the court after an appropriate admonition, sentenced the prisoner to two years imprisonment in the State prison; upon which announcement the unfortunate girl, Mary Eliza, became so affected that it was with considerable difficulty she could be removed from the court. Cixevit Court.—Before Mr. Justice Edwards— Ogden Haggerty and Co. vs. Hawkins.—This was an action on a promissory note for $225, against the en- dorser. ‘The defendant's counsel contended that the proof of the defondant’s signature, was not sufficient to charge him, The jury found for the plaintiffs for the amount claimed and interest Common Prxas.—Before Judge Ingraham—Pack and Wife vs. The Mayor, §c.. of New York.—This cause was summed up to day, after which the judge charged, leaving it to the jury to say whethor the defendants used due caution in carrying on their works; the jury retired, and soon after brought in a verdict for the plaintiffs, for $250 damages.

The eighth annual meeting of this society took place yesterday afternoon, at 4 o'clock, at the in- stitution, 42nd street. ‘The meoting was atten by several ladies, aud clerical gentlemen, who’ seemed to take a lively interest in the proceedings. Provious to opening the business of the day, several of the visi- ters inspected the different apartments connected with the institution, and expressed themselves much pleas- ed with the order, rogularity and cleanliness, that dis- tinguished the various wards. tant physicians, Dra, Fiteh and Milhau, were assiduous in their attentions to the different visiters, whom they ter which, the meeting was convened, and a large num- ber of Ladies assembled in the principal hall attached such of the inmates as could obtain accommodation took their places in tbe rear. Dr, Frren, hereupon introduced Tho Roy. Mr, Tuowrson who read the report, which sot forth that the society was in a most flourishing con- dition. “ The object,” it continued, “ was to con- vince our pensioners that we are the friends of the colored race, and are interested in their intellectual, and moral, and spiritual, as well as their physical well- being. We endeavor to raise them from their degrada- tion, to Inspire them with self-respect, and to arouse within them a spirit of courage and hope for the fu- ed by its light and heat as well ns we. We tell them the simple story of the cross, and that He who bore that cross felt ‘the weight of the poor negro’s sins as truly as our own. We endeavor to quicken their slug- gish consciences, and render them pervious to tho truths of morality, as the first. step towards their re- formation from, outward sing, and that spiritual reno- vation which alone ean fit them for heaven. We bave, it is true, many intelligent and truly pious persons among us; but have, likewise, a large class of tho ignorant aud superstitious, the degraded and aban- doned outcasts. It would scarcely seem more difficult to convey religious truth to the sealed understandings of those of their race who have breathed no other at- mosphere than that of dark, benighted Ethiopia, than to some who have been brought to us for temporal com- fort and spiritual teaching. The difficulties and dis- couragements which meet us in our labors are not few ; and there are moments when wo quail before them feeling our insufficiency for these things. But we look on the other side of the picture; then, we thank God, and take courage. We find, on looking over th estimable chaplain, for the y has elapsed in which he has not had pleasing evidence of the presence of the Holy Spirit, with his awakening and converting power. His semi-woekly visits at the Home, give him the opportunity of per- sonal interviews with all the inmates, as often as once a month, so that the whole religious stato of the insti+ tution is continually under his eye. The report went on to show that all tho sewing for tho pensioners, to the amount of about three thousand articles, has been accomplished by such of the women as have boon able to sew; and but yery little hired la- bor, of any kind, has been employed upon the premisos. One beautiful example of the dosire to be useful, was furnished by Philis, who, being very aged, and a para- lytic, wus deprived of ‘the uso of her hands. "She uscd to pray in the days of her youth, when in bondage, that she might be free and become a missionary. ‘The most aged pensioner, named Betsy Johnson, had at- tained her 113th year. After reading the report at length, the Rey. Mr, briefly exhorted the friends of the institution to continue their labor of love, and Impressed on the recipients of the bounty of the insti- tution, the necessity of feeling a deep sense of grati- tude for the great benefit they received, both ina d spiritual sense, as inmates of such an in monthly reports of our ar past, that no month . physician to the society, next briefly call- ed the attention of the mecting to the report furmshed by himself to Mr, Leonard, alms-house commissioner, in January last ; after which, » hymn was sung, and The Rey. Mr. Busuax, missionary from Africa, ad- dressed the moeting. He said it would be useless for mo to say that I fully sympathise with this institution, for, in addition to what I usually feol on the subject of charitable and benevolent institutions, | feel » pecu- liar interest in. the colored race. I have been, by the Providence of God, called to my own country, Africa,for which I shall leave in a few days, and where { have had Opportunities of meeting the colored race, in vari capacities. About ten years ago, when baif a millio! of these people were disenthralled in the West Indi Islands. 1 met them, 1 travelled to Jamaica, and met them there, and, wlso, met them on the dark shores of Afrien. where I shall soon return and where [expect to spend the remainder of my days, in laboring for the colored race. Hence I sympathise with you. There Were no people on the earth, he continued, that had s stronger claim upon the benevolent. than tho colored race, embracing © population of one hundred millions of human beings, who for ages had been living in heatheniam. ‘The father and the mo- ther, once they became old and feeble, and una work, were thrown out by their friends and abando to live in the « bush.” He had instances wh the old and decrepid had thus been abandoned in disease and decripitude, After exhorting the friends of the institution to continue their work of benevo- lenge and charity, he conelnded ‘The Rey, Mr. Baxxanv hereupon offered up the con- cluding prayer, when the meeting separated. Tue Surrosen C r readers have doubtless heard the report leged apprehension at Matamoras, in M of the robbers of Dr. Darlington, President of the Bank of Chester County, Some account of the mat- tor, therefore, as it has since been developed, may not be uninteresting. Sometime in February or March last, the bank here received a letter from _a Mr. Reynolds officer in the Galveston Bank, Texas, stating that a man by the name of Harrison, had in that place passing $100 notes, of the Chester County Dank; that on in- quiry being inade of him, as to his having with him notes of a bank so distant. he accounted for it by re resenting himtelf as the son of « director of the bank; that shortly after he left. in the direction of Matamoras, on the Rio Grande, news of the robbery of Dr. Darlington reached Galveston; that pursuit was then made by Reynolds, who followed on to. Mata- the al- , of one moras, where he overtook Harrison, engaged in buying mules, apprehended him, found some eleven hundi dollars of Chester County money on him, which took, and put him in Prison. At this interview Harrison told Reynolds that his real name was Hite hat he had received money in Chest ty, in August last, from George W. er, a that he was in the Texas country at the time of th robbery, which last Reynolds subsequently found to be the fact. The story of Hitchcock, last told to Reynolds, in relation to the money. we understand froma gentle- man connected with the bank hero, is correct. The books of the bank show that Mr. Lefever, at that tim did draw from the bank a considerable sum of money, which Mr. Lefever says he paid over to Hitche thus fully clearing H. from any participation with the robbery or stolen money. But who is Hitcheock? Why, he turns out to be the man who disappeared yery suddenly from Phila- delphia, some time last fall, and was xupposed to have been murdered, Quite an’ excitement prevailed ther for some time on the subject, and suspicion was for time directed to a Mr. Hood, with whom Hiteheoek was last seen; a suspicion now proved to have been entirely grouiudloas Hitchcock still liv he secretly withdrew hii time referred to, for the purpose of ¢ ‘ditors, went to Texas with all his money, under «sumed name of Harrison, and there entered into aule business, ‘The creditors of Hitchcock will doubtless make an effort to secure the mone: the hands of Reynolds, and will probadly succeed if they reach Galveston be- fore the letter from the bank here, recently despateh- ed, giving notice of the redemption of the notes.— West Chester (Pa) Republican Haw Srorwm—Rayuonn & Co's Mexagenire Text Buown Dows.—A correspondent in Rensse- laerville writes that there was a tremendous hail storm in that town on Wednesday Inst, which resulted considerable damage to garden — vegetables an window glass, but ticularly the hu tent of Raymond & Co.'s menagerie, During the rnoon it was filled with spectators, Some 1.500 re pres when the hurricane struck the canvass, The scene was one which beggars descrip!
