TELEGRAPHIC INTELLIGENCE, Later from Mexico, New Onteans, Aug. 19, 1643. Advices bave come to hand from Vera Cruz to the ‘Ith inst,, by an arrivnl at this port. Paredes was still at large, but concealed from the Kovernment forces, which are in search of him. Some of his confederates have been captured, Another pronunciamento had been issued, and a reyo- lution planned at Mazatlan, by Don Piacenza Miranda, The exact object of this reyolution is not known, but it was thought to have been prompted by a desire to ebtain one million and a half of dollars in specie, expected to arrive at Maratian.

NORTH CAROLINA, The majority for Mr. Manly, the whig candidate for Governor, it appears will probably exceed 600—all the counties except two which gave a democratic majority for Governor of 206, in 1844, showing a majority of M44. The Raleigh Register, of the 16th inst., has the fol- Alot of the returns from al the counties in the State, with the exception of Cherokee oud Currituck. Mz, resent majority 1844; which result cannot be materis ally altered by the retuins yet to be received. ¢ diminution in the Gubernatorial vots, and the decrease of ear majority in the Legislature, are entirely attributable to go. neral le , local causes and a shameful multip icity of whig candidates in'strong whig counties, F Our whig friends abroad may rest assured that if there isa whig State in the Union, that Stato is North Carolina If, dis- twacted as the whige have been, by the local concerns of the coun- ty electiens, weakened in their efforts for want of efficient organ. Jaations, misled by a wily stratagem of their opponente, and lulled into a false security by confidence in their scrength, we have yet carried the election of Governor, by a sufficiently d iced majority now, we Will, under more favorable circumstances support the hero of Buena Vista by a vote at least equal to that by which, in 1844, we manifested our contidence in Harry of the Finan Resurr.—We gi eet, On this, Our friends throughopt the Union, may conti- dev tly rely. s The whig majority in the Legislature will ‘be two on joint lot. Notwithstanding the “lethargy” complained of by the whig editor of the Register. we find that the yote for Manly, in 63 counties, falls short of that for Mr. Clay in the same only 1,160, while the democratic vote bas increased over 2.000, We think it highly probable that North Carolina will go for General Taylor, in November, ifthe whigs are active and zealous. itis evident that the democrats will sharply contest the State. IOWA. It is certain, from the returns received, that in the ure, the Senate will be whig, and the House democratic. The joint ballot will be close, and proba- Dly democratic; but, as in the last Legislature, the two houses may refuse to come together in joint ballot. ‘The members of the House, and one-half of the Senate, are chosen once in two years, At the election in 1846, the democrats had the Senate, and the whigs and “poseums,” or independent democrats, the House— giving a small majority to the latter allied forces on Joint ballot. A choice of Senators was not effected at ‘the first session, in consequence of one or two whigs, or “ possums," refusing to vote for the candidates agreed on in caucus, although a joint ballot took place. List year, some vacancies were filled by democrats, iving that party a majority on joint ballot ; but tne jouse being still whig, refused to go inte an election with the Senate, alleging some illegality or unfairness on the part of the democrats, Some compromise must now take pluce, or the State still go unrepresented in the U.S. Senate, Tue Great Fine ar Avpany.—It is said that the lists published in the Albany papers come far short of giving the full number of buildings de- stroyed. [From the Albany Atlas, Aug. 19.] In viewing the scene of devastation, one is struck with the power of the destroying element. How it was possible for such a maes of solid briek buildings to be Swept away in afew brief hours, and which will r quire the constant labor of hundreds of men for year to replace, is @ matter of astonishment. But the time the fire broke out, the wind was blowing a gale from the south, the buildings in which it took were of the most combustible material, and for eighteen days no rain had fallen in the city, and the roofs were like tinder. The coals and cinders were wafted from block to block. and the moment they struck the wooden roof of a building, it was ignited by the action of the wind. ‘We were witness to several instances of this kind. On the northern part of the city, more than half a mile from the immediate vicinity of the fire, no less thi four buildings were on fire at the same time by that means, The moment a cinder lighted upon the roof, a blaze was produced, as ifa match had been ignited — Thus in every part of the city fear and consternation had taken hold of the inhabitants, and there is not a doubt but nearly one half of the families had their furniture and goods in readiness to remove. Amidst this panic and consternation, when inevitable struction seemed to await a still larger portion of the city, the wind suddenly veered to the west—clouds began to gather—the flames and cinders were carried towards the river—hopes beamed in every eye—and when a torrent of rain was poured down from heaven upon the city, there was an outpouring of thanks- giving for the providential preservation. In the preservation of Messrs. Goold’s carriage manu. factory, the united efforts of at least two hundred men were brought to bear, together with the assistance of allthe hands of srs, Jagger. Treadwell & Perry, As it was the turning poin’ ofthe fire in credit is due totheir exertions; 700 yards of cloth canvass were spread over the window cases and roof, while five cisterns on the premises kept it constantly soaked. It is reported that the wife of Mr. Johnson died this morning. The Hamilton and State street bridges prevented many from escaping. We hear that twelve to fifteen persons were seen to jump from the Pier. But the most remarkable incident hap- pened to Mr. Wm. Sterling. Jumping from the Pier, and not being able to swim, his dog, a noble Newfound- lahd, caught him by the collar, thps bringing him safe to the foot of Hamilton street. Mr. 8. saw two men perish, Capt. Wilson, of the Wur, Saymour, in- forms us that six men were left on his boat at the time he took to the water. He saved the life of an Irishman, by giving him hy od to float upon; the re- mainder, Capt. W. thinks, have perished. The Cohoes Engine Co. dragged their inachine the whole distance, and reached the city at one o'clock Friday morning, just in time to be of good service in Union street, where the fire broke outagain. From Herkimer street, where the fire broke out, to Columbia street, where it was arrested, in distance, is more than half a mile! And all that work of destruction was accomplished in five hours! There could, therefore, have been little time to snatch property frow the ra- pacious flames. The ruins present a sad and heart- sickening appearance. Thousands duriag yesterday and to-day, from city and country, have visited them. ‘A meeting was held last night ‘at the Capitol to arrangements for the relief of the sufferers and was adjourned over till to-night. From the Evening Journal | By an estimate, made from the city map, of the burnt district, (according to the scale of said beg | not including the Pier and Basin,) it contains acres anda fraction. The Basin and Pier, south of the Railroad Ferry, contain over 13 acres. The num- ber of acres of city, closely built upon, estimated in hke manner, including streets, is 127 acres, excluding allthe sections of the city not actually’ improved; from which it appears about one-thirtieth of the im- proved area has been devastated by the late calamity. [From the Albany Knickerbocker } The fie originated in a very singular manner. It appears that while a woman was washing, a spark set fire to her gun bonnet. Without a moment's thought she jerked it from her head, and threw it, she kmew not where; unfortunately it alighted in the f Wm. Johnson, which, ina moment almost, was en- veloped in flames. .A great portion of the goods, fur- niture and property saved from the fire, was afterwards washed into the river by the torrents that the rain poured down all our more lengthy streets, Steamnoat Lanpinos.—The dertrugtion of the Pier ok our steamboat tien to gtent straits to finda suita- le place to dump their passengers.

That gentleman has since been in the city, and states that he drew the amount from one of the city banks, which he put into his pocket, and went to the above store. After sitting there some lime, he was invited by a gentleman in the store to pat take of some rofreshments, in a tory opposite. Coming out of the refectory, he discovered that he had lost his money ; and after searching the place he last left, returned to the store, and, without inquiry, de- manded his money of the porter, who immediately produced it. The factsin the other article were fur- nished by one who seemed familiar with the whole proceeding, and the above is the statement of the gen- teman who lost the money. Tue Wearnen.—Yesterday was a dolightful day, entirely free from that excessive heat which has for so many days past been the unwelcome visiter of th city. The san shone brightly, and the sky was clear; but the recent rains so thoroughly purified the air, that the day was salubrious and healthy. There is now # prospect for pleasant weather, at least for some days to come, ’ . nder the abo Police Intelligence. Arrest of a Supposed Pickpocket.—Oficer Stokely, of the firet ward police, arrested, yesterday morning, at the post-office, a German, of genteel appearance, by the name of Cord Otten, on suspicion of having stolen from the pocket of a French gentleman, by the nathe Xavier Frederick Gast, residing at No. 187 Broadwa: a musical box, valued at $10. it ralive: there was a large crowd of persons around the delivery box, at the oxt-office, and the musical box was seen on the ground in the crowd; and, as the acoused was standing close behind Mr , the su ition was, that he was the individaal who extracted it. Under these circumstan- cos, the aceused was takon before Justies Timpson, and detained for a further hearing. Charge of Con cy complaint was made, on Saturday, before Justica Lothrop, by Mesers.

The oeleated “Richelieu” Pen The past week has been one of considerable excite- ment in political circles, and it has not been without its effect upon financial affairs. A few days previous to the arrival of the steamer, the public mind became very much excited in relation to the anticipated revo- lution in Ireland, and business operations were, in a great measure, suspended. Quotations for stocks of all kinds receded, and there was avery general disposi- | tion exhibited to wait the receipt of further intelli- gence from the other side. At an early hour yesterday, the steamer was telegraphed, and immediately after the receipt of papers, an Extra Herald spread the news into every section of the city. Politically, the accounts were considered by a portion of our population, rather unfavorable, and many were evidently disappointed. It was expected that the revolution in Ireland would have been in successful progress at the departure of the Cambria; instead of which, a small fight with a few constables, was all that had taken place up to that time. It is imyossible to tell the actual state of things in Ireland was at the last dates, as our sources of information are principally English, and, of course, much prejudiced. It would appear, by these accounts, that the revolution was going back- wards; that the prospect of a general rising of the people was becoming less every day, and that the ar- rest of the leaders would put an end to the whole moyement; but such is not our opinion, as we cannot | believe that such an etxended, such an important, and, so far as we can judge, on the part of the masses, such a determined movement, can be crushed so easily. | ‘Whatever may be the intentions of the leaders, the people are honest, and, i’ properly led, will obtain re- dress for the many wrongs heaped upon them. There is evidently some controlling influence at work upon the masses; whether for good or for evil remains to be | seen. That influence was exerted successfully at Ballingarry, and,we have no doubt, at many other | places. It may be that it is not considered time yet | for the general rally, and the people have been pre- | vailed upon, by those in whom they have confidence, | to wait patiently the appointed period; but they are losing the most favorable moment, and giving the government time to prepare for the worst. We shall not be kept in suspense much longer. The annexed table exhibits the quotations in this market for the principal speculative securities for each day of the past week, and at the close of the week pre- vious. It will be seen that some of the fancies have been very quiet :-— 3 Quotations For THE PrixciraL Stocxs 1x THe New Yorx Manxer. Ths. Fri. Sat, .

Reading Railroad fell off 4, Long Island 7. With the oxception of Treasu- ry Notes, government securities have been very inac- tive during the past week. There has not been much variation in quotation® for stocks during the past week or two, and not much activity in transactions. Prices have, under existing circumstances, been exceedingly uniforn, and there is at present no prospect of any immediate change for the better. Some of the leading railroad securities will, no doubt, gradually improve—but it will be the re- | sult more of an increase in real value than of any spe- culative movement, These stocks are now well held, and there is not much anxiety exhibited to pueh them upon the market whenever a slight advance takes place, as in former times, when their affairawerein @ more conplicated and in a’much less favorable position | Erie railroad stock has touched low points, but is now recovering, and must soon reach its full market value, 'The seven per cent bonds of this company are selling at six per cent below par, and there is not a better in- yestment inthe country. Both the bonds and stock of this concern haye been forced upon the market by needy holders. and prices have consequently been forced down to points lower than they would other- wise have reached. Harlem Railroad stock has been sold very low within the past week; but prices are now recovering, and as the time for the opening of the extension to Dover Plains, and of the New Haven road approaches, this stock will improve in market value almost as rapidly as it will after that period improve in real value, These two roads are directly connected with this city, and must prosper with its growth, and become productive in proportion to its increase. It will not be many years before the stockholders in each of these companies will feel well satisfied with their in- vestments, and be in the receipt of much larger annual dividends than we have dared to predict. No one can for a moment look at the location of these roads with- out becoming thoroughly convinced, that so long as the city of New York stands, they must command an immense traffic; and as their cost of construction, when completed, will not be very great, they must be largely productive. The Auburn and Syracuse Railroad Company have declared « stock dividend of fifty per cent on all the stock which shall be standing on their books on the Ast of October next. This isin addition to their regu- | Jar semi-annual dividend of four per cent. ‘The insurance companies Which are located in, or have agents at, Albany, have realised losses by the Inte fire amounting to nearly five hundred and fifty | thousand dollars.

When we consider that the demand for breadstuffs, last year, was unprecedented, that the Erie canal was crowded with freight throughout the whole summer, and that the tolls thereon, ths year, 0 far, fall short of last, by more than $400,000, we can but be surprised at the amount of freight carried over the Western road the present season.

LYON, (20 Broadway, Wisninatow, August 18, 1848 Mexican Tariff Tobacco--More Mexican Contre versies When | wrote you, under date of the Lith inst. stat- ing the Mexican government refased to permit mor- chandise, imported under the American tariff, to be r moved inland, it, on more minute enquiry, wae a mis- take; the objection was, as I have since been jnform- ed, only to one article—that of tobaceo; that no impediment had been thrown in the way of other merchandize being removed inland. However,as the ex” planation only aggravates the case more,andas the 10th article of the treaty admits of no exceptions whatever: it is evident that all other merchandize may be exelud- edalso, The objection of the Mexican government i# founded upon the circumstance that tobacco j# and has been @ government monopoly, and that to.admi* the holders of tobacco sending it to the interior, manu” facturing it, and selling it im competition with the go. verpment, would be tooserious an injury for the govern” ment to suffer, Were our government to insist upon the full provisions of the treaty being carried out, this would be the result; and the hglders o ae are in Bowise restricted as to the sal¢ of th any way they may think proper so to do. i understand that the matter has been talked over in cabinet council, on Tuesday IM@t, and there can be no doubt but that the government will aet with firm- ness in the matter, as upon its success in this matter depends the course the Mexican government. wil! in uture pursue. It will be remembered that whem Col, Bankhead took Cordova and Orizaba, in February last, he found there large quantit Government tobac- co, which wag seized upon and sold for account of the United States, to individuals. ‘This sale must be con- sidered bone fide by the Mexican government under the treaty; otherwise I do not see the necessity of one, — I have heard that the government has taken. w bold stand in the afiair, and that two proposals have bean sent to Mr. Clifford to be made to the Mexican govern- ment : one is that it shall take to account the tobac- co at the same price it pays ite growers for an sy yal qualtity, and if the government cannot pay for it He fore, the amount is to be deducted out of the three millions to be paid on the Ist June, 1849. On the con- trary, should the government refuse this offer of ao- commodation, Mr. Clifford is instructed to make no exceptions whatever, and insist on the introduction of te ¢o in common with all other articles of merchan- dize. It isto be presumed the holders of tobacco imported under the American tariff into Mexico, will not de- line this arrangement, if made as above stated, with a jien on the three millions; notwithstanding,wers they permitted to sell the tobacco freely, they would realize twice the amount they will do if they deliver it up to the government at the price it pays its own growere for the article.

Frazier, (the only lady on board.) by breaking a bottle of wine, or water, across her bow: Her name, “Lawrence,” after the collector of the port of New York, is intended as complimentary to him, ‘The Acting Secretary of the Treasury, the First Audi- tor, and other government officials, arrived too late to see the launch, Others, of both sexes, were slike dis- appointed, having mistaken the hour. A silly rumor is atloat, that Mr. Breese procured the nomination of Gen, Shields as Governor of Oregon» so that the General may not stand in the way of the former for an election to the United States Senate This, I have reason to kelleve, is not true. Even if it were 50, Mr. Breese has a formidable competitor in the erson of Col. McClernand, just re-elected to the House, The Union republishes the report, that Gan. Shields will not accept the appointment as Governor of Oregon, Who, then, will be named for the office’ It is paid General Lane, of Indiana. There is no danger that the post will not be filled, for our giorious republic contains, at least half a dozen who will make the “sacrifice |’ They who have tasted the sweets of governmental nourishment, are loth to withdraw into the shades of private life. ‘The President, yraterday, went to Bedford, in Penn- Several days ago the postmaster at Cumber- written to, to make the necessary arrange- ments to carry him thence to the “Springs.” This morning the Secretary of the Treasury left for Rock- js said. to join his family. The “little man of ’ sick ashe was,sat up yosterday, till nearly midnight inthe department. When asked at what time he would leave, he said at six “millions” in the morning. His mind is always running on figures; and die when he will, in this condition he will enter into eternity. It is reported that the other members of fie Cabinet will take @ trip on the 4th of March next. ‘The crops of all kinds in this vicinity, are good and abundant. Fruits are drugs in the market, and peaches sellfat four centsa peck. An error was made in my statement with regard to the large amount of money appropriated by members of Congress to buy books for themselves, It should have been between $80 000 and $90,000. The sum is so high, that probably the proof reader could not con- sclentiously lieve ‘that men who receive $8 a day, ($56 a week) and $3 for every twenty miles’ travel, would expend more than “between $8.00 and $9,000"? for literary purposes. A member from the Southwest informed me, that when the books were voted, he heard a representative aear him observe, that he in- tended to sell Mis share. This matter of books may appear unimportant; but when a poor, unfortunate devil, not a member of Congress, steals five dollars, be is sent to the penitentiar, FELIX. Bartrmone, Aug. 19, 1848, § Convention—The Veltiguers—Com- merce—A Bloody Affair. IMA general mass convention of the citizens of Mary- and, favorable to the election of Martin Van Buren and Charles Francis Adams tothe Presidency and Vice Presidency, is called to meetin this city on Monday, the 27th inst., for the purpose of forming an electoral ticket for the State. This movement is backed by both whigs and democrats, and free soil will undoubtedig receive a good vote in Baltimore, as wellasthrougbout the State. The voltigeur regiment still continue encamped at the fort. and will not be discharged before th: id of next week. They are getting very much dissatisfied, and think that the department should have had their papers prepared before their arrival. he number of vessels in the port of Baltimore, yesterday, exclusive of bay craft, was 97, consisting of 15 ships, 15 barks, 36 brigs. and 34 schooners. Despatches, yesterday, came through from New Or- leans to this city, im the short time of six hours, by telegraph. Two drunken loafers were locked up together in the watchhouse the other night, when one of them was attacked with the mania, and drawing a knife from his pocket, commenced to hackle the other ina moet shocking manner, His head, face, and neck were cut into ribbons, before he was rescued from his grasp.
