NEW YORK FERALD. | JAMES GORDON BENNETT, PROPRIBTOR AND BDITOR col TON AND NASSAU STS eovrice ». Ww Welume XVII........- 8, 1852. We have received, over the wires, from Halifax, ene week's later advices from Karepe. They are highly interesting. There had been a great busi- mess transacted in the Liverpool cotton market, at ad- vance prices. Nearly eighty thousand bales were seld in one Week. The bullion in the Bank of Eng- hand had increased to overninetcen millions sterling, which will reduce the value of money in Europe. ‘The Bank of France had reduced the rate of interest from four to three per cent. Several of the new Buglish minieters had been returned to Parliament. The ministry bad virtually abandoned, for the pre- Sent, any interference in the commercial policy of Mgland. The Burmese war had broken out, and more aanexation of territory will, if possible, be the re- malt. The clections in France of members to the @orps Legislatif had resulted, as anticipated, in favor of the government. General Cavaignac had, bewever, beer chosen. The European mails will seach this city to-morrow afternoon. We can then take & more extended view of affairs onthe other side of the Atlantic. In publishing full particulars of the celebration of “ Patrick’s day” in this city; we have not omitted te give ourreaders, in crtenso, the panogyrie pro- meuneed on his saintship by Arehbishop Hughes, in his cathedral. The Archbishop, in his discourse, whieh rivals, in its facts, the Catholic chapter im American history, avoided committing him- self to any of the authentie histories of the life and miracles of the saint of Erin, and steered @lear of all novels, pious and profane, even in- @beding the history of the saints. But he has, at last, solved the problem of Ireland’s miefortunes, mado a clean breast ofit, and in substance imputes to St. Patrick’s pious concern all the afftictions by whieh that nation has been for ages erushed down. Buch a lively interest, aecording to Archbishop Bughes, does St. Patrick take im his peeple, that he mas fer centuries permitted them to suffer afflictions Bere, that they might be the more certain of happi- moos hereafter. If this view of the subject is correct, and we do net question it, it was quite a mistake evor tecry out against English oppression, as all the Bmglieh rulers, from Strongbow to Lord John Rus- sell, were merely the angels or agents of Saint. Patrick's great scheme of benevolence. We submit, hewever, that thie policy should be, at least, some- what modified, if not entirely ehanged, and that his saintehip be requested to “bout ship, and go awhile on the other tack. We are afraid his popularity will be much imperilled if this etory of Archbishop Hughes be generally credited. The report of a ‘‘lenten entertainment” given by “The Young Friends of Ireland,” in celebration ef the day of their titular saint, though not quite a foH one, will suffice to explain the tone of the meet- img, which was such as the Archbishop himself woust have approved. The denunciation of Kossuth wes received with considerable difference of opinion —otherwise all was harmony. The new Catholic eellege project, it will be seen, was a prominent ‘feature, while the freedom of the press was very mearly forgotten. According to our accounts from Albany, thore ‘Were some very peculiar proceedings in the Senate ehamber yeeterday. As near as can be ascertained, 2 moet violent dispute occurred between the whigs and democrats, in executive session, on the previous day, relative to the appointment of harbor masters for this city. The chairmen finallyt “ook the respon- sibility,” and adjourned the body before any con- firmations were made. This gave umbrage to the whige, who, on re-assembling yesterday, endeavored te resuine the secret session. The democrats, who were in the minority, opposed this movement, anda violent political squabble ensued. The demoorats, however, managed to ‘keep up the talk” until the arrival of two of their coadjutors, and this blocked the game of the whigs. During the wrangle, it waid that many of the secrets of the executive ses- sion leaked out, which indicate a great want of self- respect and decency on the part of certain Senators. The galleries were crowded with spectators, who seemed highly delighted with the performance. Fiery debates, buncombe speeches, and violent per- sonal disputes, occasionally embellished by a pugi- Bietic exhibition, are now the order of the day in eur National and State legislatures. The rules laid down in Jefferson's manual are discarded, and those ef Boxiana are substituted. This is a wonderful country. We give elsewhere the opening proecedings of the diocesan convention at Burlington, N. J., called by Bishop Doane, for the purpose of censuring the | Bishops of Virginia, Ohio and Maine. It is thought that Bishop D. will be successful in this body; but he will still have to pass the ordeal of the Bench of Biehope, before whom he will probably be presented by his contemporaries. Our private advices from Mexico are interesting. With regard to the fuilure of the Tehuantey weaty, it would seem that Mr. Webster, in arresting and indicting Jonas P. Levy, is entirely on the wrong track. If any other project has defeated Mr. Webster's Tehuantepee scheme, it is not Levy's Alvarado project, but the project of the Company of the Vera Cruz. And if they have been the cause of the failure of the Tehuantepec treaty, Simeon Dra- yer, and the Wall street folks ought to have been indicted instead of Levy. In relation to the practicability of navigating by steam the Meséila river, on the Vera Cruz ute, we have received a Mexican official report of an actual eurvey of the river, in a voyage from the seme, for five hundred miles, by 4 ppointed for the purpose. They descended the river ina sloop, from a point not over a good day's ride from Puebla, down to the Pacific Ocean. Their report is so interesting in itself, that we shall publish it in full, ag soon as the remarkable ease of Wikoff and some other matters ar hands off our tm the Bourd of Aldermen, yesterday evening, the | veport of the Committee on Wharves, Piers, and Slips, granting a lease to David B.

Coroner Ives yesterday held an inquest, at Bellevue Hospital, on the body of William Furlong. a laboring man, whe was found dead. on Tuesday night. in a shanty situated in Thirty-second street, near Third avenue, occupied by Patrick Smith and family. ‘The deceased, it pems, had been in poor health, and was left in bed on fie might in question, about 12 o'clock, by Mrs. Smith, and her fervant, Fanny Doyle; and, in the morning, Fauny went to his room, and found the bed empty. and some blood on the sheete. She then went into au adjoin- ing room, and there caw Furlong, crouched in the midst of a pile of lumber, dead, She at once gave an alarm, ‘and, on further examination, found that the door leading from the room toa pair of stairs on the outside of the house had been forced open. and marks of blood were visible on each step, and also on the ground. Officer Quinn was culled to the scene of the murder, and, on fearching about, found a paving stone near the foot of the stairs, with blood on it. Smith is said to have been ve much excited, and, notwithstan the man was 5 he ran off to procure Doetor Busted, leaving word at the Doetor’s house to come immediately, as a man at his house was very ¢ick, and was bleeding at the nove. The neighbors in the vicinity of Smith's house testified to hearing, on the night in question, eries, and ealls for as- sistance of ome person in distress, but could not say the alarm proceeded from Smith's house, Dr, Lidell made a post mortem examination of the body, and found some bruises and contusions on the head, arms, and body of ased. but did not discover any fracture of the skull. Hie opinion is that deceased came to his death by the in- juries described. The jury rendered the following verdict: — We find that William Furl came to his death by compression of the brain, eaured by injuries inflicted by fome person or persons unknown to jury; but the testimony being of a nature to cast suspicion upon Patrick Smith, we recommend the Coroner to hold him for farther examination.”? The Coroner committed Smith to prison for a further examination. Tne Wratner.—Anornen Stonm.—Yosterday. we were visited by another eudden equinoctial storm. ‘e had a yariety of rain. hail, andsnow. The morning was ushered in with a cloudy eky and a partial rain.

Captain Bradford and the police of the Tenth ward were early on the spot. Sergeant Ackerman dis- tinguished himself by rushing through the smoke and raving a child, which was lying at the top of the stairs, In e meantime a most exciting scene took place. By the rapid progress of the flames. all retreat for the inmates of the house was entirely cut off; and from the third story could be teen men, Women, and children extending their arms through the windows, and imploring for help. A ladder war instantly procured from an adjoining paint shop. by means of which two men made their escape. The ladder falling short by several feet from reaching the windows of the third story. the women were still afraid to venture down, At this critica] moment, James Mount. foreman of Hove Company No. 14, at the risk of his life, rushed up the ladder four times, and succeeded in saving two women and two children, bringing them down in his arms, After the fire had been subdued. the bodies of Henry Miller and Robert Eifler were taken from the building, burned ina shocking manner. Miller was taken to the Four- teenth ward station house, where he died soon after. Eifler was removed to the Tenth ward station house, where medical aid was immediately procurcd. He was then conveyed to the City Hospital, and died in the course of yesterday afternoon. Captain Brennan, of the Sixth district, and Assistant Captain O'Brien, of the Fourteenth, were present with a section of men. Such bdo oe of the gallant foreman cannot be toomuch extolled.

PATRICK. ‘The following discourse on the results of Saint Patrick's apostolic mission was pronounced, yesterday, wy Areh- bishop Hughes, in the Cathedral in this city:— We are assembled here this morning to implore the dlessing of God, and to invoke the benediction of Saint Patrick, to whom this Cathedral is consecrated. Churches and oratories are always consecrated to God, but gencrally under the invocation of some distinguished servant of his, who, during this life, walked in the perfeotion of the divine law, and whose labors, aided by God’s cares, not only illustrated the religion that he professed, and preaehed, and consecrated, but also bequeathed an ex- ample wort) y of all imitation to those who come after him. Among these servants, the Apostle of Ircland is peculiarly distinguished, net that, comparing him with other saints, there seems to be any great difference found in fidelity, but because eircumetanges resulting from his labors have distinguished his spéstleship more than, per- haps, any other of those who prepagated the teachings of “Christianity after the days of the chosen twelve. I need not enlarge before you on the cireumstancos, or time, er place of his mativity. I need not dwell om the incidents of his life, with which, for the most part, you are familiar. I necd meb spcak of bis study under the guidance of Saint Martin, of Peurs his own uncle, er of his voyage to Rome in order to obtain the divine bonedietion from the Vicar of Christ on the work to which hehad been miraculously called, by the invitation of the people through the medium of the Bishop, nor need I dwell on the subsequent portion of his long and laborious life. Enough it is to say—and this for the most part you know already—that during the period of his labors in Ireland, he changed a pagan into a Christian na- tion, and a Christian nation, not in the cold sense ef a fee- ble, doubtful Christianity, but a Christian nation, 0 pro- nounced in its title, so decided, 60 devout, so firm, so zealous for the propagation even of those doe- trines which they had just reeeived from Heaven, that places it almost alone in all that has resulted from the preachings and teachings of the blessed Saint Patrick. Other nations shed the blood of their apostles—Ireland hearkened to his teachings, weighed his evidence, and bowed themselves down at the foot of the cross which he presented as the symbol of his mission. Other nations in time gave out adversaries, who after having lit their can- dies at the lamp illumined by Saint Patrick rurned their light against the very source from which it was derived, and became preachers of herery; raising altar against altar, in the very land in whieh they had first drank at the fountain of truth. Not so, however, among the disciples of St. Patrick in Ireland. A herosiarch, dorn on the soil consecrated by his labors. is unknown; history has not discovered him, because he never appear- ed before men. But, on the other hand. wo may con- sider the results of this first apostolical mission with prefit and advantage to ourselves. In the first place, wo are sometimes tempted to imagine that from the time the Son of God preached the doctrines of eternal life on the earth, everything should be re-established in innocence, that his followers should be able to make a wide range of untainted atmosphere around them, so that sin should be banished wherever the Gospel was preached ; or, at least, that the order of the world should be co much improved that wickedness should no longer be uble to triumph over justice, und innocence, and truth. If to bear trials of this kind be the proving of the gold of indi- vidual virtuc—if it be the test by which God proves the fidelity ofa soul, which he, in his Providence, leans upon with, Tmight almost say.a heavy and crushing hand ; and if such a soul till adheres to God—Oh ! that is the fine gold coming through and from the crucible of its trial, And if it be thus in individual life, it is the same when we extend the comparison to whatever nation or different ages and people of the world. There is no doubt that one of the greatest temptations in the way of fustaining. not infidelity precisely, but of throwing dark clouds on the brightness of God’s countenance. in the government of the world, is a history like that of indivi- dual man; but that of a nation such as Ireland, fur- nithes the densest clouds through which the atmosphe: of faith has to pass in acknowledging and adoring the divine supremacy of the power of God. Alas! even then, how little do we understand—how weak are our thoughts —how imperfect our yvisien—how little we compre- hen@ that “the ways of God aro mot the ways of man,” and that “his thoughts are not as our thouglste,"* and that ac heaven 18 exalted above the earth, so the wiedom and goodness of God is exalted above men, or above what men can conceive, Otherwise, how would it be possible, if St. Patrick brought the faith—the true faith—to Ireland, and if his spiritual charge has not ceased since that time, from generation to generation—if the faith which he taught is, to this day, eherished with tenacity strong as life—and if it be true that, in conse- uence of this devotion, this tenacity, this constancy, this firmnees, all, or nearly all, the temporal calamities which have crushed down that nation to the earth haye Tesulted—docs it not seem hard. at least. that God should not interpose—that he should not sometimes vindicate, if not the unworthy creatures who serve him, at least the majesty, and dignity, and holiness of the truth which they profess? Does it not. I say, seem strange to the dark reason and wisdom of man that God should not interpose —that even, in our own day, he should fatigue our patience so that, when famine bas multiplied sepulchres over that land, we sheuld say “this is the end.” N next year comes plague and pestilence—then “Oh. certainly this is the end.’ No; next year fury and fanaticism come in on the ruins of a prostrate people to prove their pa- tience. and with honor and riches to tempt the soul of the poor man and of his children, in his desolate cabin on the mountain. And we dare not say th: t theend. [t is in this respect, I say. that the sents a theme for contemplation far more important t any repetition of the life and glorions deeds of that gre: saint under whose patronage this cathedral is consecrated. Oh ! how admirable is the providence of God in all thing: ‘Those tired spirits who are scandalized ut such things as I have alluded to. wish ail light—wish to see everything in absolute light ; and they do not reflect that, for a just vision, 4 portion of darkness is just as necessary to us as a portion of light. Were it all light, men would become blind, just the rame as were it all darkness, But God, ing inthe happiness of his own eternal and infinite existence, and at the same time thinking of us, and dis- poring of things physical. moral, and temporal, ina way of wirdom of which we have no conception, allows the scene to shift, and we behold now the sunshine of Providence, ad now what we may call its showers and shadows on the earth. But of all things that would be Unreasonable, the most unreasonable would be for a be- i min, a Christian man. a Catholic man. a man iis and knows the holy scriptures, to look for seperity in the world, whether as regards na- individuals, as the sigu of God's approbation or ove. Far from if, There is reason to fear that when God permits men or nations to proper to the ex- tent of their desires, it is a mark of his disfavor ; it ix not that he puts a snare in their way, but because they have set their hearts upon prosperity as their God ; and he withdraws everything th hinder them from realiz- ing all their fo called ness, ‘Then, it is known that prosperity enge pride, and that pride kills the foul of “him” who harbors it; that prosperity furnishes the way of grat: Who places his heart on euch things, is th own spiritual existence, Time passes on. and when first St, Patrick Isnded on th period. how many geners Y where have they gone?

As long as the church shall exist, the name of that distinguished servant of God will be re- corded in her annals, and will be pronounced with reve- renco; and above all, perbaps there is nota name among the early apostles of nations #0 universally diffused, or cherished with such deep Christian affection, as the name of St, Patrick. the patron saint of Ireland. St. Augus- tine, in Kngland, is spoken of by those who remain in that nation attached to the faith he taught—they cherish hia memory, aud the church reveres him—but still, his labors are almost oblitered, and a barren system is substituted tor the holy faith which he brought from Rome, and propagated in England. In Germaay, St. Moniface is cherished; but still. though the church cherishes him, the speeial resulta of his teachings are cis- cumecribed to the nation; but the Germans venerate the aportle by whose labors their forefathers were saved from | the darkness of paganixm; and so with others. But the very mistortunes of a temporal kind that have fallen on Ireland bave sent forth the children of that unhappy and to every clime, and to every latitude, from the north to the south pole; and wherever they are fouad —and they are found more or lese almost every- where—not only do they cherish fond m te the apostle of their native land, but they propagate it, and make the infeetion as if it were contagious, f that those who would not otherwise have had any knowledge of St. Patriek beeome thus desirous to enter into there feclings, and to join in celebrating the anniver- sary festival of the apostle of Ireland, jeantime, who knows what may be the influence of the prayer of that illustrious saint* near the throne God who knows what may be this prayer?—who knows but that be is watching, with the solicitude whieh Lia te the’ saints, their eondition, and that it may be ewing to his interoossion with God that they are for a little tyme afflicted, in order that they may be made more scoure of that eternal felicity and glory which he now possesses. and which he would neeossurily, under the influence of divine charity, desire that they should alse approach and be made partakers?/ Let us, therefore, dearly beloved brethren, cast away from our eyes all that filmy obstacle to a clear @bristian vision. t us not judge the things of God as we would those of men, Man mut reward quickly, Mf ae all, foe fae story KS if he punishes, must pul jut jo tienee.

DINNER OF THE FRIENDLY SONS OF ST. PATRICK. The annual dinner took place last evening, at Wash- ington Hall, Broadway. There was a goodly number of guests present, and the cclobration passed Of with con- siderable hilarity, ‘The room was tastefully decorated with flags and evergreens, and the names of celebrated Irish patriots were impressed on drapery suspended round the room; and behind the chair was an old paint- ing on linen of St. Patrick. The Chair was taken by Mr. Joseph Stuart, in the absence of the President, Mr. Bell. Messrs, Geo. McBride, Jr., and Jno. B, Dillon offi- ciated as Vice Presidents. There were also present the Presidents of St. Andrew's, St. Nicholas’, St. David’s ,the German and New England Societies. ‘The dinner comprised the delicacies of the season, and was enlivened by the performances of a musical band. The Paosipent read letters from Mr. Bell, the Presi- dent of the rociety; from the Mayor of the city, from John F. Crampton, ‘of Washington City; and from the President of the St. George's Society, apologizing for non-attendance, The Puysipesr gave the first regular toust : ‘The Day, and all who honor it. k enthus The Pre ) ‘KESIDENT called upon Mr. Dillon to respond. Mr. Ditton responded. He said, that if he were in Tre- land. instead of being on American soil, he should be tempted to moye an amendment, that Ireland was the land of our fathers and the lof our children, too. One principal cause of the want of prosperity to their country was the disposition to look back to the times of their fathers, Other countries were busy in de- veloping the resources of their country, but the Irish people were equally industrious in the search of records, to feed animositics, (Hear.) Sages had been sent to warn them against the fatuity of that course, When a foreign parliament made laws for the purpose of crushing the commerce of Ireland, the Irish people would not exert themselves to preserve their rights, and they were, therefore, extinguished, He felt too deep an interest to speak otherwii There should be a bridge over the Boyne, across which people might walk. and see that the people were not fo bad as they thought.

He remarked that St. Nicholas was distinguished for sim- plicity, piety. and benevolence, St, Patrick was entitled to be acknowledged as the tutular saint of Ireland. for his virtues. He paid a high tribute to the Pilgrim Fathers, for their exertions, One great trait in the character of St, Patrick was of a remarkable character :— When the Pontiff had consecrated him Bishop, and sent him on his mission, he set to work in converting the people of Ireland to Christianity, He had great know- Frage of the Scriptures, having devoted thirty yenra to their study, On his return to Rome, to give an aeeount f his steward-hip, he declared that he had effected a conversion without a singe martyrdom, ‘That waa one of the vtrongest facts in history, and should be dear to. the hearts of all Irishmen.

This celebration was held at the Apollo Rooms, Broad- way. The attendance was numerous, notwithstaading the unprepitious state of the weather, about 400 persons being present. The dinner itself was eompletely a “lenten entertain- ment,” consisting of fish and dessert. Among the various topics direussed, the “Maine hiquor law’? was not al- luded to, but was strictly observed practically. Ata table across the head of the room, was seated Mr. Patrick O'Connell, president of the society, supported right and left by the Rev. Mr. Malone, of WilHamsburg, Judges O’Connor and Bartholomew, Messrs. A. McMaster, P. Daly, Richard ©’Gorman, Junr., Thomas €arroll, James Powers, James Hurley, and other invited guests, The members of the rociety, and several ladice, occu- pied four tables, placed lengthwise.

Mr. Maron having said grace, the dinner, euch as it was. was commenced, and dis) of with a degree of entisfuction that argued well for the self-deny- ing and easily contented dispositions of the guests. AIRMAN, before proceeding to the regular senti- ments, offered a few remarks. This, he said, was an age of new theories; but amongst the multitude of novel ideua, the most strange to them must be that there. was no further hope for Ireland—that the spirit of nationality was dead—that the principles and policy of this bappy country should be changed—and stranger still that Irish- men in America must forget the past, and unite with England for republicanism. As Lrishmen, they assembled ‘on that occasion, not to traduce her Majesty of England, but to express anew their undying conviction that their native conntry was destined to be free—(cheers)—to deny that the epirit of Irish nationality was dead. It was not dead, but lived on the mountains of Wicklow and on the banks of the Shannon; on the banks of the Mireissippi, and im the mountains of Cali- fornia, (Loud cheers.) As American citizens, who cherished the institutions and policy of this country, and wished to see them cherished and preserved in all their purity, they yere assembled to frown down as traitorous every attempt to pervert or change them, and to protest, in the double capacity. against the modern no- yelty that a union with England was necessary for the liberty of the world. It was said that England, of to-day. was not the England of the past—there was a new spirit of liberty. ‘True, she did take an interest in the affairs of the continent, and would give the poor people of Italy more freedom; but let them ask themselves whether this new born love of human rights is sincere ? or whether it was Lypocrisy and deceit? (Cheers.) Ask Smith O'Brien and his devoted companions, (loud cheers) whether it was eincere. Her conduct was very sincere, and well might her in ion be aroused by the cruelties practised on those of other nations, while the grass was not yet green over the graves of her own victims, The England of this day was the England of the past—ever the foe of human rights; and she hated America, and her growing greatness, and liberty, and prosperity, as rhe did when she was ready to hang her Warhington and her Jefferron. He congratulated them on their meeting, eanctioned by the priesthood of the ntheir forefathers had followed. and which had sustained them throughout; and, in conclusion, thought no Irishman, without treason, could despair, “He then announced the regular sentiments of the evening. which were received with cheers, A few only were replied to : they were as follows:— 1. The Day we Celobrate—It awakes aspirations as pe- rennial in Irish hearts as tho shamrock is on Irish svi. Musie-~" rick’s Day.” 2. Ping the Ninth—Loved by bis children throughout the world, for the meekness and beauty of his life, no less than for his sincere admiration of true liberty. “Music—Vope ins Hymn B Ircland—May the wrongs and deceptions of tho past teach her to take advantage of the dangers which now threaten and alarm her enemy. Music—" Erin go Bragh.” r. Riewanp responded to this, they had last met, many changes had taken place; but in one respect they were unchanged—in their hallowed love for li Ireland, no matter whether they came from the east, west. north, or south. After a glowing appeal to their patrioti«m, and love of the lund of their fore- fathers and happy childhood, he continued, it was weak and idle to talk of the past—the way to build up a fallen hou-e was not to eit down and wring their hands over the ruins. The word was onward—without pans or rest, He spoke of the newly proposed colleges as holui out a great hope for the redemption of Ireland. by giving the people knowledge, which England had always sought for herself, and ptrtinactously denied to them. For himself, he would merely say he was in principle a republican, and he wished to see those prin- ciples carried out by which republican liberty could be attained and secured. Tt was said that Irishmen in America should not think of European polities, and chari- ty began at home; but America must have a foreign poliey. and as citizens, all should form their op ince & that policy. He trusted to sce the day when hone would not be monarchs. The people would all unite in the cause of liberty, and they would not love Ircland less because they loved mankind more. ‘The fourth regular sentiment was then given. 4. The United States—Pence, commerce, and frie with all nations, entangling with none. Colpmibias it. A. McMastens. of the Freeman's Journal, responded, He claimed great credit to the Irishmen for the patriotism: they had always evinced, when secession in the South, and abolition in the North, had agitated the Union. They, as a class--Wwhat no other, or of uny State, did—had ever held firm, and exclaimed, * The Union—the Union forever.” ‘This fever had passed off. und another excite- ment arove, The talking Tartar, with an cloquent tongue, landed, and set about to teach us,in this y, What we should do, He told us we did not understand what republican liberty was, what our duty was, or our own institutions; that the men whose ‘grandfathers had fought with Washington were not those who could understand or interpret his principles. But he knew that he intended to contradict the principles of W: ington, and to change them from constitutional anism into a sort of French democracy. [1 and noike here became quite exciting; # storm of hinees greeted thie pasknge, but they were quelled, and three cheers succeeded.) |The speaker concluded by saying the Catholic history was the best eulogy for the Trich, and its testimony was its own argument that they were the embodiment of patriotian, ‘The fifth regular sentiment, ‘The Irish Hierarehy—It has been the to a scop Lage that the love of civil lil the sanctuaries of their church, si « reeponded to by Mr, Malone ‘The other regular sentiments were :— ydshi Music” iia Privilege to prove y is cherished in Hymn 6, The Archbishop of New York—While history lives, b name will shed a deep lustre over the Catholic pazes oft nth century...

CEL Important from Mexico. We have private advices from the city of Mexiee te the MAth February; aud upon sevoral points, the information thus received is inicresting. aud of some importance, ‘The manner in which tho letter of Jonas P. Levy tothe President of Mexico, against tho ratification of the Te- huantepec treaty, came into the possession of Mr. Web- ster, is explained. Under his instructions. one of the first things which Mr. Letcher looked into, after his arrivalin Mexico, was the condition aud the prospects for the rati- fication of the Tehuormepec treaty. The Mexican authe- rities, it would appear, have beem humbugging him w' various devices and evasions, against his demands for a ratification. Among cthor things, itis said they shewed him Levy's letter, ot whioh he was permitted to takee copy. which, it is supposed, was tranamitted to Mr. Web- ster, Thus. owing to the activity of Mr. Letcher in Mexice, was Levy arrested and indicted in Washington, asa cen- spirator againct the government and its darling project of the Tehuantepeotrosiy But the sequel will show that Mr, Letcher waa upon a false scont, and that very fikely the Mexican authoritics have been amusing themeelves at his expense. H% powerful company has been organized iu New York, with a capital of $2,500,000, for the opening of anew route to California, by way of Vera Cres; thence across the country, by stagos, to a point eouthwest of Pucbla, en the Meecala river; thence ina northwesterly direction, down suid river. nearly five hundred miles, by steamboats, to the Pacific. ‘The company have secured the right of way of Mexico. and the exclusive privilege for the transportation of ul} foreign mails across the republic for fifteen years. We have received certain official documents from Mexico, establishing the practicability of this route. Hore, tl ix probably the trac secret of the rejection, by Mexieo, of the Tehuantepec treaty. Im any event, the prosecution of Levy, as the arch conspirator who has defeated it, will be regarded in Mexico as one of the best jokes of the aanon. We are also advised that the indemnity of $15,000,000 from the United States being pretty well exhausted, the bankrupt government of Mexico will soon be compelled to resort to some other extraordinary means to replenish their treaeury; and it is understood that they intend tomake application to our government for indemnitics for the outrages committed along the Mexican frontiers by the Indians and sillibusteroee from our side of the line, in violation of the treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo; and that. apon this account, the damages will be laid a thirty millions of dollars. Failing in any relief of this kind, it is feared the administration of Arista (really am able and capable man) will tumble to pieces, and that Santa Anna will again come in, and under the conni- vance of Britir-h agents, will again assume the dictator- ship. ‘A very extensive conspiracy exists against the present administration, and in favor of the recall and restoration of Santa Anna, Mr. Letcher is, no doubt, pretty well In- formed on this point. But let our Secretary of State see toit that, in the event of the return of Santa Anna to power. the Garay grant of the Tehuantepec is not trans- terred to the exclusive possession and contro! of British capitalists, and agents of the British government.
