The America is the next steamer to bring news from Europe. We may expect to receive her ad- Viees at any moment, over the wires from St. John. & New and Important Movement in th® Seuth—hevolutionary Expedition to Mex- leo. Our Southern correspondence to-day—the letters Peurics, Fasuiom awp Prey at Sanatoca.— ‘They begin to have tolerably lively times at Sara- tega. Mr. Clay actually makes something of a sensation. He is almost as bustling and busy as he was ten years ago. His smile is still very agree- able. His brow is as Chesterfieldian as ever—per- haps a little stiffer, but still very gracious and con- descending. He drinks the water from the same old springs, and is just as great a subject of admi- ration and amusement to romping young ladies in tfansparent drapery, and rheumatic old ones with charms more carefully veiled, and a superabun- dance of ringlets and rouge. Then John Van Buren is expected at the Springs, and so is Daniel Web- ster, and so 18 Colonel Benton, and go is ** the Con- fidence Man,” perhaps, and so are half a dozen celebrities besides. All these illustrious personages will likely figure at the grand fancy ball which is to be given on the 17th inst.; and they ought cer- tainly and by all means assume appropriate cha- racters.” Clay and Webster might take the two Dromeos of republican ingratitude and whig obsti- nate blindness. Benton would make a capital Fal- staff; and John Van Buren, with the aid of a judi- cious costumer, might play the part of Puck to per- fection. It appears, indeed, that the politicians are crowd- ing to Saratega, from all quarters. Possibly, a great many arrangements may be made up for next session of Congress, when great things are to be said and done, either in support of General Taylor or in opposition to him, with reference particularly to the Wilmot proviso. In the midst of all this po- litical crowd, there is a great deal of fashion, wealth, pretension, silliness and profligate display. The horses and carriages were neve@so expensive and showy as now. Suppers are frequent and on a seule of great elegance and dyspeptic extrava- gance. ‘The young bloods never were wilder ; and as for the young ladies, they are more lively and nonsensical than ever. We chould not be surprised at all, if ten percent of the crowd should die of the cholera, from eating and drinking, and ail kind of dissipaticn. One thing strikes us as exceedingly interesting. In the midst of all this vortex of fashionable folly, it seems that they could not get along without the from New Orleans and Charleston—coatains some | very startling information, as well as some impor- | tant views, in the present situation and condition | of this country, and the state of the pubic mind. If owr accounts can be relied upon (and the source | from which they emanate 1s highly respectable,) | it seems that an expedition is fitting out at New Orleans, destined to attempt a revolutionary move- ment in Tampico, in Northern Mexico, similar to that which led to ‘he independence and ultimate apnezation of Texas to this republic. It is also stated that muskets, fire-arms and other munitions of war, have been purchased in the Northera Btates, and transported to some point in Mexico, destined, very probably, for the same expedition which is now being formed in New Orleans. In corroboration of our New Orleans intelligence, we ean state, positively, that we have beea very re- eently informed of an exportation of twenty thou- sand muskets from this city, which were sent by a veeee! bound to seme port in the Gulf of Mexico, and which were furnished by one of the principal government contractors inthis region. It is highly probable, therefore, that the information which we have received from New Orleans, corroborated as it is by information within our own knowledge ia this neighborhood, and sustained by previous movements in New Mexico—it is highly probable, we eay, thatall these matters have a common ori- | gin, are perfectly authentic, and may burst on the world, to the astonishment of our citizens, before | they are aware of what has been perpetrated. ‘The bubble of Canadian annexatior has burst— | the bubble of the annexation of Cuba was never blown up enough to be capable of bursting; and | both, for the present, are swept from al! chance of probability or expectation. It is highly probable that the restless spirits left in this republic by the Mexican war, and who were unable to reach Culi- fornia, may bestir themselves with such activity as | te be able to get up this expedition to New Mexico, @reate a revolution there, and separate half a dozen of the Northern States from the central government | of that weak, distracted and imbecile republic. ‘The spirit of enterprise which animates the Ame- | rican mind, and particularly the population of the Southern States, will eufficiently account for the | expedition now being formed in New Orleans; but there are, in addition to that, causes of a deeper | and wider extent bearing on the Southern States, | gave parties to the old aristocracy, and moved in and excited by the tone of the public mind ia the | orth, which would naturally aid and further such been discovered that this fashionable swindler has an enterprise, and carry it into execution and final success. his Holness Pope Pus the Ninth. Bishop Hughes looms out large in the panorama of Saratoga silli- ness, dissipation and ostentatious display. Indeed, it would appear that in all silly scenes you are sure to find Bishop Hughes. Wherever one or two fashionable people are gathered together, there is Bishop Hughes. Wherever the wealth of the land goes, there goes Bishop Hughes. Wherever our young men and maidens dance the decent polka, or whirl round the ball-room in the giddy waltz, there is Bishop Hughes. The Bishop preached a sermon at Saratoga, and our corres- pondent, a very amiable man, but no great judge of character, says it was the best sermon he ever heard in his lite, We fear that he has not heard many sermons. Bat the Bishop did preach a ser. mon—a sermon to the fashionables—and the fa- shionables were very much delighted, and Bishop Hughes got a great many pretty compliments from pretty hps, no doubt. Thus it is that Bishop Hughes evangelizes the nation! Meanwhile, in the cholera hospitals—~at the bed- sides of the sick and dying-—in wretched hovels— in pestilential dwellings—by night and by day, the working Catholic clergy of Bishop Hughes's dio- cese have been administering the charities of the blessed gosp: A glorious band of faithful fol- lowers of Christ! Instant in season and out of season, they are at their post, toiling, fainting, preying, bearing the cross and the truths of Chris- tivnity to the poor and despised. In the meantime, Bishop Hughes philosophizes and preaches amd the gay and festive scenea of Saratoga! Would to heaven we had a Gaeta ia this country, to which | to banish worthless, tyrannical, faithless bishops ! We want a great, sweeping ecclesiastical revolu- tion. Ramxoao Bepunes in ENGtanp anv THe Unirep Srares.—The English journals, received by the last steamer, are loaded down with the reports of railway committees, and editoriuls on railway de- velopements of the most curious, interesting and extraordinary character, in relation to railway mis- management in that part of the world has heard of the famous George Hudson, who wa: originally a small shopkeeper in York, but by suc- cessful speculations in railways, reached the high- est point of fashion and wealth—occupied a seat in the House of Commons—dwelt in a fashionable residence at Prince Albert’s gute, Hyde Park— the first circles of the British metropolis.

We need oaly efer, for evidence of this, to the correspondence from the South which has frequently appeared jm our columns, and particularly to that ac- | eurate view of Southern feelings which 1 given in a letter from Charleston to-day, and whieh pointe to a Southern convention and Southern confederacy as a natural emanation | rn | from the anti-slavery tendencies and disunion pur pores of Northern politicians. In that state of the public mind to which the South is now tendiag, aad which has been caused by the agitators of the North, we have not the slightest doubt but an enterprise ealculated to divide, separate and break cial genius. Now the bubble has burst, and the grand operator stands revealed in his true colors. ng | It is very probable that he will be degraded trom | his position, expelled from the House of Commons, | | indicted and tried at the Qld Bailey, and punished by imprisonment, for his rogueries. The history of railway management in Eagland | presents a curious lesson to railway management in this country. It appears that Hudson managed the railways entrusted to his direction for his owa purposes, without regard to the interests of the stockholders. of « company, he knew and could direct all its ope- rations, embracing the purchase of land for the route and iron for the rails. He always took care to be the owner and contractor in every route, | selling the land and supplying the iron for the rails at exorbitant rates, in both cases.

In this country, in the management of our railroads, it appears that the same system and the same tactics have prevailed to an extraordwary and ruigous extent. In the construction of many of our railroads—in the management of their fands— in the purchases of land and raile—the sane @ys- tem of fraud and imposture has been adopted, searcely an indepe dent man, an in. half the truth ia relation to the management of our railways, though you hear the thing talked of at every corner in Wall street, every day in the year, The internal management of our railways is every @elated to reduce them to the condition of San whit as corrupt as that of the Laglish railways.

Ia e@onnection with these matters, there might like- wise be involved, in their estimations and caleu- lations, the territories of New Mexico and Cali- fornia, which might be included in their project.

We give below the latest intelligence received, by telegraph, of the elections in the States of Kea- tucky, North Carolina, and Indiana. We have to regret that our despatches came to us in so crude a shape that they give buta slight index of any changes that may have taken place im their seve- ral localities. The returns from North Carolina give 5 whigs and 3democrats as certain to Congress, leaving one dietrict, the 8th, to hear from, which is closely contested between Stanley (whig) and Lane (dem.)’ Should Lane be elected, it will be a democratic gain of one member. This would indicate a pro- bable democratic gain, as the last delegation stood 6 whigs to 3 democrats. Below will be found a table, giving a comparative view between the last representation and the present. We give several other interesting despatches, furnishing the latest intelligence from Havana, Canada, and Texas, which will be read with in- terest. Nerth Carolina Election. Raver, August 7A, M.

It appears that the schooner that took Franclico Rey, alias Garcia, from New Orleans, touched at Havana on the 24th ult, and transferred Senor Rey to the American brig Andrew Ring,at quarantine, the regula tion not allowing any to land without performing eight days’ quarantine Immediately on hearing of Rey’s re- ported abduetion, Gen. Campbell, the Ameriean Con- sul, went alongside of the brig, and offered his services and protection to take the brig outside of the harbor, and put Rey on board of the paeket about to sail for New Orleans; but Senor Rey declined the Consul’s views, paying that he was there by his own free will; 80 the Conrul dropped the matter, Captain Clark heard from different persons, while off quarantine, that Bu was unusually sickly, The black vomit is making sad havoc among the citizens.

Yet we havea vast popula- tion, all sorts of diseases, and a great many sick ple. The cholera times, too, atlorded an oppor- tunity to many to get into business. We perceive, however, that some of our fashionable doctors, even m the midst of these distressing times, are very busy at Saratoga and elsewhere,—some of | them engaged in horse-racing and other intellectual employments, instead of attending to their own professional pursuits. Such doctors must have but few patients to attend at home, or else they | could not afford to spend so much time at Saratoga. But it is very curious to observe the attempts which are made to getinto a fashionable medical practice in this city.
