Broadway.—Srevenuanxucun Cov. oxar. on THE Publication of 1d commenced at 25 alee Tefore’ clock ‘und hatahed at? we News from Europe, By the arrival of the steamer Buena Vista, at Boston, from Halifax, we have anticipated the arrival of the Britannia, at this port, from Liver- pool, with seven days later intelligence from Europe. The news is net very important, politically or commercially. On the Continent all was confu- sion, and political affairs were in a state similar to that previously reported. The convention of France was progressing slowly, and amidst many difficulties, in consolidating a republican form of government, and several important changes were The discovery that La- martine had been connected with the movement made to depose the provisional government, had created. considerable excitement, and it was supposed that Thiers would take his place. The Austrians and Italians had another engagement, in which the, latter were victorious, It is impossible to form any idea, from the advices received, what will be the result of the revolutions in any part of Europe. The markets remain without any material alter- ation, either as regards prices, orextent of transac- Cotton, corn and consuls had slightly re- ceded, and there were no indications of returning confidence in financial or commercial circles. Money was abundant; the rate of interest reduced, and a disposition exhibited to employ capital in the channels of commerce; but those engaged in trade were by no means anxious to extend their operations, and there was,consequently,no activity in the manufacturing districts, or in the staple pro- ducts of this or any other country. The news, on the whole, is by no means satisfactory, neither is it of an unfavorable character. It is just what might have been expected, from the complexion of previous accounts. The Barnburners’ Convention—Ex.President Van Buren’s Letter, The Herald was much sought after yesterday, in consequence of its containing a full and graphic report of the proceedings of the Barnburners Con- vention at Utica, which convened for the purpose of nominating candidates for the presidency sand vice-presidency, on the Wilmot proviso principle. The proceedings of that Convention were highly interesting and important. They foreshadow a state of parties and a state of things, which will at no distant day, exert a great influence for good or for evil in the United States. They confifm us in the views Which we expressed afew days since, that if this party gather strength and accéssion from all the Northern and Middle States, the against the South, and momentous conse- quences, even a dissolution of the Union, may” follow. The movement was ostensibly set on fogt to promote the principle contained in the so called Wilmot proviso; but that, in reali- ty, had nothing to do with the views ofits origina tors, Mr. Van Buren’s letter to the contrary not- withstanding. It was originated with the sole and sage view of defeating General Cass’s nomination by the Baltimore Convention, and has been con- tinued for the purpose of defeating his election af- ter he received the nomination. This was partly avowed by the Hon. Samuel Young, the president of the convention at Utica, who, in defining his course in the democratic national convention, of 1844, said that Mr. Van Buren was betrayed, that he should have been nominated instead of Mr. Polk, and that the nomination of the latter gentle- man was a fraud upon the people. Mr. Van Buren and his friends could not brook this slight, and as it was brought about by the influeace of General Cass and his friends, he and his friends vowed vengeance, and determined to pull counter to General Cass in every possible way.— They accordingly sought their wpportunity; and | the Wilmot proviso offering a fair ground on which | to plant themselves, they organized themselves in- to a separate party in this State, and elected their delegates te the National Convention of 1848. If they were admitted into that Convention, they would have voted against the nomination of Gen. Cass; but as they were denied admittance, they resorted to the only alternative left to them—that of nominating candidates of their own, with the purpose of defeating Gen Cass’s election, by taking from him the vote of the State of New York. Leaving out of view the principle contained in the Wilmot proviso, which the barnburners have adopted as their hobby, these were the motives, and these were the purposes of the barnburners. Mr. Van Buren’s letter is ably written; his views and expositions are clear, and clothed with eloquent and strong language. A labored attempt to concea! mortification and chagrin is evident; bift the cloven foot stiche out a foot or more not- withstanding. Why so much allusion to himself? is it because he was, by previous arrangement, tendered, by letter, the nomination of the barnburn- ers? No, that was done by preconcerted arrange- ment, for the purpose of giving time and op- portunity to do away with the impression that he was chagrined by his defeat in 1844, and en- tertained no hostility towards Gen. Cass on that account—with what success is apparent, The trath is, this organization of the barnburn- ers, as a distinet party, on the Wilmot proviso when divested of the webs that have been woven around it 80 ingeniously by the imtimate friends of Mr. Van Buren, is nothing more nor less than another nullification movement, for the pur- pose we have mentioned. It will assuredly, hows ever, break up the democratic party as it is at pre- sent organized, effectually. But it cannot stand asa separate party, the platform on which it is | erected being too narrow. It will only serve to split the democratic party into fragments. The Taylor party, on the contrary, is a comprehensive American party, and when in power, will retain it us long as desired, if the leaders only manage pro- perly.

Se. de. ————- . * Boston, Sunday evening, 7 P. M. We have just received the papers and letters ot the steamship Britannia, by the steamer Buena Vista, Captain Jarvis, who boarded her at Halifax, and immediately left for this port, where she ar. rived at 4,o’clock this afternoon, with highly important intelligence from Europe, one week later than previously received, The Cambria arrived out on the 6th inst. The ships Prince Albert arrived at Gravesend on the 8d, and the St. Dennis and Splendid at Havre on the same day. The Sarah Sands, from Liverpool for New York, was spoken June 7th, off the Calf of Man, and would go through the North Channel. The London papers give a lengthened accoun; of the arrest and examination of three of the Chart- ist leaders. Their names are Joseph Williams, Joseph Fussell, and Ernest Charles Jones, the latter a barrister of the Inner Temple. Trade has been slightly depressed during the last week, owing to the renewal of political agi- tation both in England and Ireland, and a less favorable tendency of the continental advices. The produce markets have been less buoyant. Holders are rather anxious to realize, and prices have, consequently, a declining tendency. There is alsoa further decline in the value of cotton, and the sales are limited. The general aspect of commercial affairs on the continent continues dull and unsatisfactory ; but in some respects a slight improvement is per- ceptible. ‘There is a further increase in the supply of mo- ney, and the rate of interest yet tends downward. The state of trade in the manufacturing districts wears a discouraging aspect. " 3 The Chartist agitation in England, and the tenor of the advices from the continent, are acting inju- riously in the demand for goods or yarns at Man- chester. The English securities have been firm during the week past. The market in the past two days showing a rise of about half percent. The direc- tors of the Bank of England, without giving any public notice, have commenced to make advances upon bills of exchange and other approved secu- nities, at the rate of three per cent per annum, until the payment of the July dividends—whilst they have made no change in their nominal rate of dis- count, which is four per cent, as the private bankers and leading brokers have for some time past dis- counted at3 a 34 percent. The step is not likely to have any great effect upon the market, especial- ly, as from the large sums of money offered to them by persons who find it difficult to employ money profitably in trade, the broker and discounter are likely to compete successfully with the bank, Tfle settlement of the account took place yesterday and to-day without any difficulty, owing to some of | the parties for a 1ise having overstocked the market. Consols for account declined, and at the close re- established a continuation between money and time stock without a difference. The foreign market has been very inactive during the week, and prices consequently stationary. France. With the exception of engagements which have taken place between the Italians and Austrians du- ring the week, and the surrender of some Danisk soldiers to the Prussian army, aflairs generally look somewhat quieter. France is, however, still the theatre of considerable confusion. A report was spread in the course of the sitting of the National Assembly, on the 8th inst., that the police were in search of a high personage arrived inthe morning at Paris, by diligence from Lon- don. From information, believed to be correct, this personage has been arrested. The personage here alluded to is the Prince de Joinville. Prince Louis Napoleon is understood to be in Parie—he will probably obtain three returns besides that of the capital. The Government, of course, will not dare to molest him. The European Limes states the resignations of Lamartine and Ledru Rollin were openly talked of in Paris, and suspicions are expressed that Lamar- tine was a party to the movement of 15th May. Caussidiere, late Prefect of Police, charges La- martine with having supplied the arms to Soubrier, which enabled him to get up the conspiracy. La- martine’s friends allege that his aim was, by mak- ing a popular demonstration,to avoid a collision in the streets of Paris. M. Thiers is reported as not unlikely to supplant Lamartine in authority. The returns forthe eleven vacancies in the de- | putation of Paris, were proclaimed on the 9th at the Hotel de Ville. The following is the list of the successful candidates:—Caussidiere, Moreau, Goudchaus, Changarnier, Thiers, Pierre Leroux, Victor Hugo, Louis Buonaparte, La Grange, Bois- sel, and Proudhom. After a stormy debate in the National Assem- bly, a decree for preventing tumultuous asvemhilies veral additional regiments are expected imme- diately in Paris. Paris was tranquil, but the groups of men assem- bled at the Pérte St. Denis and the Porte St. Martin having become more numerous on Monday after- noon than heretofore, a strong detachment of troops of the line was despatched to disperse them. As they refused to retire after having been three A number of persons were | with fixed bayonets. | arrested, but afterwards set at liberty. ‘Ti Constrrution or Francr.—The Presse states that the commission on the constitution, has de- ‘The project of the Constitution is to be preceded bya tion, admitting, besides the rights al- ready: by the people, those of gratuitous education, émployment, and assistance. Great alarm is excited by the approaching mon- ster banquet, to be held on Monday, under the walls of the fortress of Vincennes. The subscrip- tion has been raised to 10 sousa head. The party who organised it, announces that there are already 100,000 subscribers. Latest accounts state that the banquet has been postponed, ireland. ~The Repeal Association and Irish Confederation have, at last, fraternised. A new society, to be composed of the members of both of these bodies, is to be formed. It is to assume the style and title ofthe Irish League. It is to be managed by a com- mittee chosen from the members of the late socie- ties, and to agitate the question of repeal, by con- stitutional means alone. Doubts are entertained by many, whether such materials as the proposed league will contain, can work harmoniously to- gether forfany length of time. The government has not’ yet made any more attempts to te-indiect Mr. Smith O’Brian and Mr. Meagher. Sympathy for Mrs. Mitchel and her children is still expressed ; and the funds collecting in their behalf are daily increasing. The Irish confederation have issued a very strong, and to say the truth, disaffected address to the people of Ireland. The followmg are among the more important passages. The address is sigaed, Mr. Smith O’Brien:— ‘We will not conceal from the government that | nothing but the most strenuous exertions our coun- cil prevented the outbreak of an insurrection last week. Thousands of brave men_had_ resolved that John Mitchel should not leave the Irish shores except across theirdead bodies. We do not mean to conceal from you, that the recent indignities offered to the Irish nation, have greatly tended to remove from our minds the hope which we have hitherto desired to cherish, that the questions at issue between England and ireland will be settled by amicable adjustment. We feel bound to tell you without disguise, that the indignities and wrongs are rapidly bringing us to that period when armed resistance will become a sacred obligatfon, en- forced by the highest sanctions of public duty. We cannot shrink from the responsibility of ad- vising you to prepare at once for your invaded lib- erties—by the love which you bear your country and your kind, by your attachment to ‘yoar homes, by our regard for your children’s weal, by your thirst lor honorable fame, let no factious strife impede the execution of fae designs. Learn to contem- plate calmly and firmly the chances of a final strug- gle, and prepare for that struggle by furnishin, yourselves with all such resources as may enable. you to command success.” The sale of Mr. Mitchel’s furniture took place on the 6th inst., and attracted an immense attend- ance, and many persons came from forty to fifty miles in order to purchase some relic. The furni- ture sold at extremely high prices, especially the small articles, such as books, china, glass, &c. The books, containing Mr. Mitchel’s autograph, brought, in many instances, one hundred times their original cost. The pike and two swords, which cost but a few shillings each, sold at a gui- nea each. The conviction of Mitchel has not quelled the stormy spirit of disaffection which prevailed in Ire- land. The excitement created by his trial, sen- tence, and deportation, has been seized upon and converted into a fresh engine of agititation. On the 2d inst., a manifesto was issued by the Councif of the Irish Confederation to the Irish people, signed by Mr. S. O’Brien, couched in terms no less defiant of the law than the effu- sions of Mr. Mitchel. Italy, Q Advices from Turin to the Ist, have brought the important intelligence that Peschiera had surren- dered, and was in the hands of the troops of Charles Albert; and that an engagement had taken place, at the same moment, at Goito, Between 30,000 Austrians, who last marched from Verona, and 15,000 Piedmontese, the result of which was, that the former were completely routed; and, being pursued by the cavalry, when flying in confusion, a great portion were cut to pieces. The King and the Duke of Savoy were personally engaged in this combat. The former received a slight contu- sion of the ear from a cannon ball that passed near him; and the latter was slightly wounded by a musket ball, not sufficient, however, to induce him to dismount, or to retire from the field. Austria. ‘We have accounts from Vienna to the 2d inst., the conduct of the Emperor is considered by the Viennese as most extraordinary. A deputation of Ladies to present a petition requesting his Majes- ty to return to his capital, had been treated with marked rudeness at Inspruck. The Emperor took the setition from the ladies, and without saying a word, turned on his heel and walked away. The city was quiet, but distrust commenced to pre- vail between the people and the Noblesse ; many of the latter body were leaving the city to join the court or to return to Boden or Ischel. Nearly all the foreign ambassadors were at Dob- ling and in the vicinity of Vienna. ‘The bankers, Rothschild and Eskeles, had left the city. A general wish was felt that the Emperor might soon return. Rome. It is said that Pope Pius had recovered all hie popularity; and on the feast ef St. Philip, the population made a brilliant manifestation in his favor. Spain. The authorities of Cadiz have compelled all the British residents to furnish securities for their con- duct. Arrests are daily taking place in Madrid. Russia. The cholera is again making sad havoc in Rus- sia. According to the Berlinishe Nachrichter, there were in one week, 155 cases in Moscow, 57 of which terminated fatally. Markets.

Farivar, June 9th—Prices commenced this morning with Consola at 844 to 84%. and for accounts only 1-16 higher, towards the close of the day. This difference was recovered. id the market closed at 845 to 84% for both. Liverroot Corton Marxwt, June 10.—The general tone of the cotton trade, during the week now closed, has been tame and subdued. ‘he sales were confined for the most part to the immediate wants of the trade, and as holders feel rather desirous of realising, prices might be said to have receded slightly from the rates last quoted. Wo may remark that the accounts brought by the Cambria, which arrived here on Tues. day last, do not appear to have had any offect worthy of notice, although it would appear that the period for low purchasing, at the transatlantic ports, had passed away, at least for the present.

Sme News Arrancements—Tue SreamsoaT News-Boy.—We informed our readers some days since that some of the newspapers of this city had associated themselves together, and purchased a steamboat, for the purpose of obtaining late ship and commercial news. The experiment has‘succeeded to an extent much beyond our most sanguine expectations. Vessels are boarded by the Captain of the ‘‘ News-Boy ”— the name of the new steamboat—frequently at a distance of one hvndred miles ffom land. Asa general thing she beats about, some fifty to a hun- dred miles off, collects all the news, and runs up to the city at night, when the Captain distributes the news that he has collected during the day, in time for publication the next morning. By this means, we frequently publish the approach of ves- sels bound to this port, two and three days | before they arrive. Indeed, there is no rea- son to complain—the plan works admirably. It is expensive to be sure, but we can afford it, and are willing to expend as much again as this costs, if any expedient offered from which we would receive | @ corresponding benefit. | Within the last four days, it has been reported | that the journals which own this boat, contemplate | employing her as a tow-boat, as well as in collect- | ing news, This report, We-need hardly say, is incorrect. We flatter ourselves that we, at least, if not all of the journals which have entered | into this enterprise, can afford the expense, with- | out endeavoring to lessen it by entering into com- petition with the tow-boats in the harbor. Instead | of being termed the news association, it should then be termed the towing association. It would, | indeed, be a humorous thing if the newspapers of New York entered into the tow-boat business. | If they did, they should call their boat the Tow- Boy instead of the News-Boy, its present name. We can assure our readers, however, that if she meets a vessel in distress, she will undoubtedly take her up to the city. Marine Affairs. Scuooner Mary Eveanon,—This splendid little clip- per schooner, which occupies so prominent @ position | among the sprightly and graceful crafts that compose | the fleet of New York pilot boats, has been purchased | by Francis Equsot, Eeq., to ply as a regular packet be- tweon this city and St. Domingo and St. Thomas. She will be commanded by Capt. Richard Hepburn, an able and experienced navigator. The Mary Eleanor was built a few years since, at a very heavy cest, by a | fow of our pilots, and sin@® her construction she has given many evidences of her great sailing qualities and | her ability to withstand the elements, in whatever | form they may assume. We can give no better testi- | monial of her worth than that she was a New York | pilot boat, and in that capacity has rendered, for somo | four years, the most efficient and valuable services Sporting Intelligence.

One day poor Flora became a little indisposed, and her mistress becoming somewhat alarmed about her, especially as the dog d.ys were near at hand. consulted a friend in the next street, and sug- | gosted the idea of sending Flora into the country for a short time, which would probably restore her to health, This friend evineided exactly with Mrs. W—-, and the arrangement was made to send Flora at once in the country. The dog was then taken by Mr I. for that pur- pose; but on taking her home a second thought struck him, that as dog's fat was considered by doctors valu- able, he consulted one who keeps a drug store in the vied making a bargain with him for the fat, at an ex, price. He then felt persuaded that Flora would die ene day or another, and possibly become thin before doing so, thus making her carcass of no and to account for Flora’s whereabouts to her it could be easily said she was lost, or died in xcessive fat nder these cir- v8, it was decided chat Flora’s time had ar- Dutch butcher was engaged, who slaughtered in the most sheepish manner, taking off the a workmanlike style, taking good care to pre- he fat ; aud, when finished. the carcass re- sembied as much as possibie a dead sheep. This car- cass was claimed by tho butcher, who felt determined to make the most of his job, hanging it up in his shop for sale, intending to ask a penny a pound of prize fat mutton. The next morning the mistress of poor Flora took her basket for market, and on passing the butcher's shop she observed a nice piece of lamb, as she thought, hanging up, and knowing her husband was fond of Pagel mutton, intended to give him a treat by purchasing the hind quarter. The bargain was struck, at a penny & pound more than the other meat; being, as the butcher said, an extra fine cut. The Dutchman sharp- ened his knife, and off came poor Flora’s hind quar- ra, like a flash of lightning. and placed it in her bas- at just as ehe was pulling the money from her por to pay for it, she glanced her eye on the leg of her supposed mutton, where was still hanging one of This struck the old lady Instead of pay- ing the butcher, she immediately puiled out her apec- tacles, when a horror passed over her system, which nearly brought her to the ground. Feeling convinced that the foot was that of her poor Flora, the old lady screamed murder, and dropped her specs, ‘The buteber looked red, dropped, his knife and ran off; a crowd of the precious paws of Flora, | persons soon collected, which brought the aid of officer Fearnan, of the Seventh ward police, who, on learning some of the particulars, engaged a cart mun, threw the carcass, or remains of the wufortu- nate’ Flora, upon the cart, and drove it to the po- Hee office, followed by a large crowd of anxious spectators to know the result; where, on arriving, before the justice, the above story was related, and as the old lady very fovlingly exprossed herself: “ How shocking it would have been, ifshe had eaten the hind quarters of her poor dear Flora; one might as well eat one’s own flesh and blood.’ + Yos,’’ said the magis- trate, pulting on a countenance as mild and solemn as a minister, “Yes,” said he, “1 think Madame, you have made a very lucky escape. for had you eaten ihe flush of your poor dog.yon might have heeome snnp- pish to your husband, during the balance of your life’ As the matter stands now, I don’t seo what T can do. Wore the buteher here, | should certainly punish him, but as he has escaped, we must wait until wo catch kim, In the meantime, I shall order the cartman to throw the dog's carcass off the dock. The old lady replied, that it was awful such Duteh- mou should be allowed to live in the world; for her part all such monsters should be hung. ‘Thus the old lady left the court muttering to h elf, goto the Mayor, shocking, bad laws, bad police, poor Flor, &e.,"” amid the tittering of laughter from a court crowded fall of men and boys, who were full of laughter, at the near escape the old lady had of eating up her own dog. Dectaration or Inp ‘on Simrna Ma- pre.— We learn froma gentleman who arrived yes- terday in the eteainship Portland from Vera Craz— one who is well posted up in the matter—that a vublic declaration was tobe made on the 18th in by the leading Mexicans of Vera separating that State from the pr federacy; in other words, declaring 4n favor of the contemplated Republic of the Sierra Madre.—N. O. Delta, June Ve 1% Mat—By McKays & Co.'s Ex- yesterday received Charleston Te esterday most delightful days of June. The sun rose from a clear horizon, and pursued his course uninterrupted by a single cloud during the whole day. A eed breeze blew from the West all day, which made unlike the stormy weather during the thermometer in the Herald office stood at P. M., 86 degrees. and at six o'clock P. It was considerably warmer within than out of doors, The evening was delightful, aud gave promise of an increased warmth of the weather. Tue Crry Yesrenpay.—The great city of Gotham, yesterday, presented no scene or circumstance of more than ordinary interest. The usual routine of church- going, and ail the other gradgs of pleasure-taking were Terumied, leaving the olty peaceful and tranquil.” The Fourth avenue. of late, has become the greatest Sun- day resorts in the city, thousan is of rsons on that sides as many more whogo, apparently, for the purpose of seeing the trains going ‘out and coming in on the railroad. Thecrowd is generally a perfect medley, com- posed of the natives of almost every nation of the earth. from the fair complexioned yankee lass to the dark daughter of Africa, and from the intelligent and learned citizen to the veriest loafer that plods the streets. It is aresort for every class of individuals; and the fan- cy gentlemen, who are so expert in relieving the pocket. are alinvst without number. To the careful observer of men and things, a Sunday trip to the upper part of Fourth Avenue will prove quite profitable, in his ad- Yancement of knowledge. So great has become the fashion of that route, that for the convenience of every tribe there are houses of entertainment ot every stamp, though for the more respectable, more than one can- not be found, while the neighborhood is completely overrun by two-penny dram shops, rendering the place bye ® nuisance, so much so, that it is probable most of the respectable families residing in that section will try to find more quict and genteel quarters before ano- ther summer rolls around. An Hour at THe Horse Manxet.—Thore are many interesting scenes in this great city, which are entirely overlooked, even by the curious. On every Saturday afternoon, at the horse market, at the corner of Thirty- eighth street and Third avenue, may be witnessed some of the greatest trading transactions that are at the present day perpetrated. The head quarters of the establishment is a small wooden building, which is kept as a bar-room, while in the rear isa 4 Bh yard, comprising an acre or two, used as a place for showing the animals. The doings of yesterday were not fraught with that interest that they frequently are; the horses, or rather frames and cripples, being rather above tho ordinary caste, and ranging in price from one to fifteen dollars, thereby bluffing off many purchasers, who are in the habit of buying them up by the drove for four shillings each. There were abo: t two hundred of the kind on hand yosterday, but the times seemed quite dull, There was one of the leopard breed, somewhat spotted, which the owner seemed anxious to dispose of. He was minus an eye and tail, besides being very much sprung in his fore iega, and, from some cauce, his mane was entirely gone. The owner was standing alone, when he was approached by a jolly looking fellow, who cried out to him—“1 say, mister, what do you ax for that hoss?”? “Five dollars,” was the me The fellow seemed perfectly astonished at so ex- orbitant a price, and placing his thumb against his nose. said “did you ever see a elephant? I sold that hoss not more nor three weeks ago for twenty shil- lin’, and he was @ better looking animal then than he is pow, so you can’t cheat me with ’im.” A slight al- tercation here arose, but through the interference of several of the bystanders, the matter was settled, and they started fur the shantce to drink good friends.— Another, which attracted considerable attention, was something which bore the appearance of the wreck of a horse, of the pony order. He was about the size of a: ordinary cow, body tolerably well turned, but his lim» dore all the eprings, splints, and ringbones to which the tribe are subject. He wi tached toa large wagon, which had written on the side of it “ for sail.’ and the driver seemed determined to mak a sale. even at a sa- erifice. He started him, with a vi and the advantage which he appes * and off he wentin a kind of hop, skip and jump it, limping first upon one leg and then upon another, coming back to the starting point. There were several bids for him; but a fishmonger was the fortunate one, who purchased him by paying three dollars and a shilling, the bid being a shil- ling more than that of any one else. There were were also a pair of match horses brought out, but not offered at auction, in consequence of their being more valuable than the rest. Their legs were in a little bet- ter condition than the others described ; but from an old.surfeit they wore almost entirely stripped of hair; one had the heaves, and the other was wind-broken, though neither of these diseases would show themselves until the animals were driven a short distance. The pair ewere held at thirty dollars, but only twenty dollars were offered, which the owner positively refused. He said he had just paid twenty-five for them, but did not specify whether it was pense, shillings or dollars, and therefore could not afford to lose money on tl . He had been dealing in horses for some years, and had never bad a pair to come upto them. After a short time he wouldn’t mind to sell them for twenty-five dol- lars, but not finding bidder, fell to twenty, when the man who had offered that amount, backed out of it, and the owner at last said he would take fifteen dollars, and d—n the cent less. He did not succeed in affect- ingesale. There were a number of horse dealers pre- sent, but the extravagent prices prevented their enter- ing the field, and they were obliged to adjcurn without having purchased a single animal. Lavine oF Conver Stove —The laying of the corner stone of a new church, about to be erected at the corner of Lexington Avenue and Thirty-fifth street, to be called the Church of St. John Baptist, was laid on Saturday afternoon, with all the im- posing ceremonies, by the Rt. Rev. Bishop Delancy. ‘There were quite a number of the clergy present on the occasion, though not so many private citizens as is usual on such occasions. This is a signification of that portion of the Scripture which says, “ the church shall come up out of the wilderness ;” for neither the avenue nor the street upon which it is to be locat- ed are yet opened, and the neighborhood is very sparse- ly populated. A place of worship in that immediate vicinity is greatly needed, for in no part of the ward, in which it is located, is there halfso much vice, espo- ciaily on the Sabbath. Scnoou Excunston.—The annual excursion of the scholars of ward school No, 5 came off on Friday Last, and is said to have beens most pleasant trip. Tho Boat left the foot of Duane street at half past |.seven o'clock in the morning for Glen Cove, the place designated for spending the day, ‘with some two hundred children en board, happy in being able to cipate in the annual excursion. They arrived at Glen Cove about nine o'clock; and after having constructed temporary tables and seats, each scholar produced his, or her, basket, and soon rich feast was spread, which at the proper hour was discussed, The children spent the day in dancing on the green sward, or rambling through the shady grove, and at four o'clock in the afternoon, embarked for their return to the city. The day was fine, and passed off delightfully to the children, who were transported at the i+tea of a visit to the country. Fouxpirxa.—A neatly dressed child, about six months old, was found ‘on Saturday night near the stoop of the house of Mr. Van Pelt, No. 46 Bleecker street, wrapped in a towel One of the officers of the 15th ward was passing, and discovered two women run from the place, and supposing they had accidentally dropped a bundle. proceeded to the place and picked it up, when the little fellow cried out. It was taken care of through the night, and then taken to the Alms House, whence it will be taken to the nursery on Ran- dall’s ‘Isla It is not known who the inhuman mother is, who would thus throw her offspring into the street, without, knowing whether it would be properly provided for, oF crushed to death. Fing.—A fire brook out on Saturday night, in the extensive brewing establishment of D, L. Ormsby, No. 255 Sixteenth-strect, which was only partially des- troyed. The bwildings are all low wooden sheds, and but for the prompt action of the firemen would all havo boon destroyed. The fire is said to have originated in the stable, whichwas lighted by the torch of the incen- diary Tho loss is about $2,500, which is partially oo- vered by insurance. An inquest was held yosterday by Coro- , on the body ofan unknown female, found drowned at the foot of 33d street. She was dressed in a blue sort of gawn, such as is furnished to the prisoners at Blackwell's Island. Mexican Barsarity—Dasrervty TreatMent ov Mevican Women.—The meanest kind of per- seoution has already been commenced hy the Mexicans against their countrywomep, who have been civil towards our gallant soldiers durjng their sojourn in that country. The correspondent of the New Orleans Crescent says: . The lower order of the Mexicans, instigated by some of the better informed, have alteady begun ther Ip beggin towards those who have been friendly’ or sociable towards the Americans. At Cuernavaca they sacked their houses, and at Sin Angel, the day General Patterson's division left, they committed great excesses. It ia reported that they not only destroyed the furniture of those of the softer sex who received the visits of los Yan- quies, but took a number of them to the very trees where Riley and his companions were whipped and branded, and there cut their hair short from the head, and with a hot iron burned the letters “U.S.” upon their cheeks. When this news was received in the city, the women who had visited the balls, and danced with our people, were tna great way. ‘They ran off to their houses, eschewed all Yankee company, and knowing that they had been marked for future punishment, commenced making preparation for departure. Those who had not a particular friend among the Americans were running around the different wagon-yards, and beg- ging the teamsters to take them to Jalapa, Vera” Cruz, or to such other place on the road as they might live for a while in safety, and I verily believe they will average two to each wagon that is now on the road, Whilst one cannot butgeel sorry for them in their unfortunate positon, H® cannot but be amused at the earnestness with wlych they appeal to those, who but o few hours since were enemies to their country, to take them from their hom: There is, perhaps, no men on earth who are so jealous of any little attentions paid to the ladies of their conntry by foreigners, as these Mexicans, and to so great an extent does their Cruz, in favor of | hatred go to those who return even.common civili- nt Mexieanecon- | Hes, that their conduct 1s at timesbeneath the | brute creation, am not surprised at the great disposition evinced , Knowing what I do of the men, [ by a certain class of females to travel.
