ARRIVAL OF THE NORTHERN LIGHT. — ‘Very Late from the South Pacifie—The Fio- res Expedition— Arrest ef the American €onsul at Acapuleo—Another Threatened | Revolution in Nicaragua, Ke. | The steamship Northern Light, Capt. Tinkle- pangh, arrived yesterday morning, at 8 o’elock, from | Ban Jvan, Nicaragua, with 300 passengers, and $188,817 50 in specie on freight. She left San Juan at 8 A. M. on the 24th, thus making the passage thence in eight days, The steamship Independence arrived at San Juan @el Sur on the 17th, having left San Francisco on the 2d, with 150 passengers. We have received several hours Jater news from Ban Francisco by this arrival, but nothing of any @onsequence. Mr. James Davidson, aged 52 years, formerly of Battle Creek, Mich., but late of California, died on board the Northern Light, and was interred at San Juan. The steamship S. S. Lewis left San Juan del Sur en the Lith ult. for San Francisco. We are indebted to R. Lord, Esq., the purser of the N. L., for late news by this steamer.

The representatives readily admitted and approved the new law, though we believe their decision must have been greatly influenced by Mr. A.’s presence in the Chamber. “The Senate had no great advocate in it ; the bill was therefore considered very coolly, and coolly laid avide. It was said that such an impart- ant measure ought not to be adopted without con- sulting the people of the Isthmus. This is the first time the Senate has thought of consulting the people. We think, however, that so far as the people of the Isthmus are concerned, they care little or nothing whether the bill passes or not, We have no desire to comment on the subje The rojos, or red republicans, have not been idle.

A Case of Bigamy and at. [From the Albany Rogister, June 2).} On Saturday morning a very respectable female from N: Morgan, and made a statement, of which the fol- lowing is the substance :— About eleven years since she was marricd to Mr. William Darling, by whom she has one ehild, an ia- teresting and intelligent boy. After having lived together some time, she ascertained that Durling was already married, and by his first wife had a daughter, then between seven and eight years of age. After the knowledge of this fact came to Mrs. D , she was abandoned by him, and sinee then he has avoided her, and entirely failed to make provision for her support and maintenance It appears that Darling was m ars. ago, to a lady respectably ried about 20 connected in this ° hat some time after the marriage she obtained adivorce from him, and has since married to a re- spectable farmer in this ty. The iasue of the first marriage with Darling was a daughter—the one referred to by the complainant in this case— who bas since resided with her father. When Darling left New York his daughter aecom- panied him, and, as it appears, they camo to this where they have been living together—:he er cobubiting with the daughter as man and The complainant finally traced the parties to this city, and after consultation with the Chief of Police, a warrant was issued by Squire Cole, and pd in the hands of police constable George B son and Ag Captain Pottenburgh, of the Second district. y on Satarday after- noon, alter reconnoitering, the guilty parties were discovered, and, after an attempt on the part of Darling to escape, they were both arrested—father and daughter—and locked up in jail. They had been living together in Colonie street, nud the daughter is encrente. The parties will be held until a requisition is re- ceived from New York, where the prisoners will be sent for trial. Darling is about 41 years of age, and his danghter about 19. His second wife, the com- oe me is avery respectable woman, and although eeply sensible of the depravity of hee husband aud the disgrace which his conduct has brought upon his pre 6 is also sensible of the demands of the out- raged laws, and will appear against him when the hour of trial arrives.

The following account, t fore, taken from the China Mai/, of a recent visit of the British steamer Sphinx to Loochoo, will be found to centain some interesting information :— H. M. 8. Sphinx arrived at Loochoo on the 6th February. The principal ohject of her mission to that plave was to deliver to the authorities a letter from Lord Palmerston, her Majesty's Principal Sec- retary for Foreign Affairs, in answer to a commu- nication which those functionaries had previously addressed to his lordship; algo, to inquire gene- rally into the position of the missionary, Dr. Bet- tcheim. Captain Shadwell was desirous of delivering his communication within the walls of the royal city of Shove. The authorities at first demurred to this, and wished to receive it at Napa, the seaport. After some uegotiations, however, tho latter gave way, and it was ultimately arranged that it should be received at Shooe, as proposed. ‘The United States and Megieo, in a French from the Paris Gespuvationnel, June 0.) | om id uity of @ power of the first order, such — the United States, is a bad neigh! weak State as Mexico. In the old world, the independence of the small governments is pro- | tected by the rivalry between the great. Switzer- | land, for example, finds her security in being sur- | rounded by tho principal powers of tho continent. | Mexico is deprived of that kind of protection. Isolated from the rest of America by the narrow | isthmus which separates the new world in two parts, | it stands alone by the side of the Amerivan poople— | a Bengt of a usurping, unscrupulous character; and | who, besides, seem to ae a law of Providence, in | stretching e' Ht ens further into the desert, where | they carry civil jon and abundance. Europe does not prevent it, Mexieo will very soon disappear in the agglomeration of the States and iporalbeiaas of all origins, which eompose tho American eonfederation ; then the Union will have only to absorb Canada, which would willingly join bands in that annexation, to oceupy the whole ex- tent of the North American eontinent. By that moons she will obtain a true preponderance in the world. Thus the Latin race declines in every place. ce, Italy, and Spain appear to have given up all expansion abroad; they fall back upon them- selves, and expend all their forces in struggling st the symptoms of an interior dissolution. grows, on the contrary, the Anglo-Saxon race, whieb, advancing from one sido by the Indies, ‘and from the other side by the Pacific ocean, is on tho eve of uniting the heads of its two columns—the English and the American—in the waters and ports of China. ® It is time that the governments of tho old con- tinent should permit to enter into the caloulasions of their policy the movements of this growing power of the United States, to which it appears that, by atacit agreement, they have given over the domination of all America, as if Europe was entirely disinterested in the question. The United States have already the most intimate relations with European industry and commerce. If these rela- tions were interrupted or profoundly impaired, England, France, and other States of the like rank, would experience a real perturbation, and one of the sources of the prosperity of those nations would be dried up. — Besi it would be wrong to believe that the United States will remain much longer strangers to the political agitations of she old world. When their present ambition will be satisfied, when they stall hold uo- opposed dominion over the whole surface of No¥h- ern America, then the moment will have come for their interferenéo in the great struggle of which Europe is the theatre, and which is declared be- tween authority and anarchy, order and disorder, organization and confusion. ‘The American Union, demoeratic and republican, will naturally be called on to take purt in the straggle against, traditional goy- ernments, against tho priveiples of stability, against all aristoeracies. Already she has given us an ex- ample of her tendencies. The reception given to Kossuth, and tho declamations excited from one ex- tremity to the other, of the United States, by the arrival of that exile, have proved tho graat interest that the people of that confederation aveord to Eu- repean events. The sentiment of an American in- tervention in the affairs of the old world, then originated in all quarters of the Union. If the European goverments, coming peaceably to the aid of Mexico, should think proper to keep in check the invading icy of the United States, by that general law which makes powers watch over each other, for the preservation of Eu-opean equili- brium, it would be very easy for them to oppose a strong barrier against the continual and more and more menacing encroachments of that power. The configuration of the territory of Northern Ame- rica is such, that the United States cannot ex- tend from the Atlantic shores to those of the Pacific without crossing the chain of high mountains which traverses the shores of the latter oceaw from north to south. But in these mountains there exists only a single opening which would admit of the es- tablishment between the two oceans, of regular and easy communication throughout the extent of the continent. Itis impossible to doubt that the constant aim of the policy pursued at Washington has always been to establish the American confederation upon the two oceans. It is known with what obstinacy the United States have accomplished the design of seizing on Oregon} they have been guided by the same policy in obtaining the cession of California. Oregon has only one wretched port, Astosia, insuf- ficient to serve as the basis for the execution of the vast projects of navigation to China, formed by the government of Washington. California, on the contrary, possesses a magnificent port, San Fran- ciseo, capable of sheltering a whole fleet of the Jargest steamers. It is known how California hus been peopled: thus established upon the Pacific Ocean, in a beautifal port, oppusite to that of Char- Keston on the Atlantic, the United States had only ‘cr Low to unite them by a road easy of uecess in all seasons: but that road, that sole way which traverses the chain of mountains—impassable where else, at all events, during the greatest ‘the year—is in the possession of Mexico.

The second column, com- manded by Captain Cooke, marched directly to Guadalupe. The true continental road was at last found. Captain Cooke wrote ia his report :—‘ I saw suddenly extending before me, a great opening, giving access, in the middle of rough mountains, to a road descending, for fifteen miles, towards a low country with a pluin surface.” It was the veritable gate of the West. Inside and outside, it passes through a flat country, in which numerous Springs; fresh grass in all seasons for horses, stones and wood for constructions, are very abundant. That is the reason why the Americans so strongly insisted on obtaining, when the treaty of peace wes made with Mexico, in 1847, the cession of the Mexican territory bordering upon the United States, to the as degree of northern latitude. 7 On the Ith, Captain Shadwell, accompanied by his officers, and a guard of seamen and marines, landed in state, and preceeded to Shooe, a salute of seven guns having been fired, and the national colors displayed at the mast-head, as Lord Pal- , merston’s letter left the ship. The distance from the landing place at Napa to Shove is about three tiles, the places being connected by a good paved road. On arrival at the gates of the citadol, the guard, after presenting arms, remained outside, the officers only proceeding inside the walls. On pass- ing within the second wall, they were received by | the Regent, the Ministers, and « large retinue, and conducted by them to the hall of audience, where Lord Palmerston’s letter was formaily presented, and respectfully received. A covierence then ensued having reference chiefly to the affuirs of Dr. Betteiheim, in the course of which (he Loochoo authorities repeatedly expressed most friendly intentions towards him. At the ter- mination of the interview, the oflicers were invited to an entertainment by the regent, which was given at his residence outside the walls of the citadel.

New propositions have been already made to the Mexican authorities. The United States are acquainted with the financial embarrassinents of the Mexican government, and they offer to purchase the provinces they had vainly tried to seize by war. They are making every per og gr of which Mr. Dommartin gives tho cases? Is it necessary to seek them in negotiations? This is a question to’ be resolved by the merggen ments. Let it be always undei , ever, that if Europe permits Mexico to sink under the power of the American Union, not only would the equilibrium of nations be broken in the world, but the day will not be slow in coming when the United Blaics, having succeeded to the full term of their territorial greatness, will feel the need of developing at home, their industry, by the exclusion ot foreign products. On that day, work- men by millions will be deprived of labor, and Europe will be subjected to a financial and cem- mercial crisis, of which it is impossible to foresee the consequences. More News from Texas, [From the New Orleans Picayune, June 23.) By the arrival of the steamship Mexico, Captain Place, we have reecived dates from Gaiveston to the 18th, and Indianola to the 17th inst. A letter from San Antonio, in the Galveston Jowr- nal, says that intelligence has been received in that town from Eagle Pass to the 3d inst. A correspond- ent of the Western Texan, writing on that date, ‘ives the particulars of a horrible massacre by the ndiang, from which we make the following ex- tract: — : On the Thursday evening previous, he saw a family encamped on the bank of tlre Nueces; rode up te the camp, and after asking a few questions, rode on. Two days afterwards the same family encamped at La Mina. when the Camanches came upon them, killing the mother and three children. Two small children were taken to the ‘* Pass” by some Mexi- cans, who gave the alarm. The commanding officer, Captain Arthur, despatched a compgny with a w: for the wounded father of tho family, and wounded daughters. The family consisted of. father, mother and six children, all of whom were killed or wound- ed excepting a little boy and girl, four and seven years old. The old gentleman—Jack Chambers— and bis daughter are in the hospital at Fort Dun- can, with a prospect of soon recovering. They are from Leon county, in this State. The wife killed wasa sister of Mr. Louis Sanchez, on the Salado- ‘The remains of the mother and chiidrea were inter- red by the company, who returned with the father jaughter. The writer also reports that a few days previous a party of five Californians passed through the place, and when a short distance beyond San Fernando, thirty miles further west. were all killed by Mexi- cans.

Howes makes a report, dated Fort Inge, June 1, to Major Geo Deas, A. A. G., at San Antonio, to the effect that his command had fallen in with a party of Camanches, not far from Eagle Pass, having with them nineteen males and fitteen horses. The Indians were pursued and overtaken, and all the animals retaken. ‘wo of the Indians were wounded, one supposed mortally. The rest of the Indians fled. The Indians had two Mexican children prisoners, one of whom was recaptured, who says the horses and mules and himself were taken near Guerrero, in Mexico. Near the place where the party of Indians was encountered, two girls and a boy were found, who stated that their father and mother and two brothers had been killed afew days before, by a party of Indians, while on their way from Eastern Texas to Mexico, and that the Indians had left them after taking them a day’s journey, Their futher was an American, by the name of Chambers. Camanches. Another letter, dated June 4, says that the father and one of his children were not killed, assupposed, but were wounded, and in Fort Duncan. The chiefs of the Lipan, Camanche and Muscalero Indians have recently visited San Antonio, and made professions of friendship. The Ledger’ says the Lipans have, this year, cultivated corn to a considerable extent: and the Camanches and Mus- ealeros also express a desire to pursue agriculture and abandon their roving life, provided only they can have territory set apart for their use where they will be unmolested; and-such an assignment of ter- ritory is what they earnestly desire, The Lone Star, of Waihington, now says there are strong reasons to believe there is little or no truth in the story of Mr. Fugate’s being robbed. Our readers will recollect the story we copied from that paper a short time since. The San Antonio Ledger, of the 10th inst., says that General Harney, General Garland, Colonel May, Major Sibley, Major Harrison, and Lieutenants Tyler and Stewart, had arrived in that town from the Rio Grande. There are five steamships now touching at Gal- yeston from New Orleans, viz: Louisiana, Mexico, James L. Day, United States, and the Yacht. The last extends her trips to Brazos, Santiago, the rest to Indianola. The Bremen bark Francisea arrived at Galveston on the 15th inst., wit 112 passengers. No less than 800 strangers, soldiers, emigrants, &e., visited Indianola daring the week previous to the sailing of the Mexico. Thowes Hoskins, confined at Lockhart for the murder of H. G ner, Sheriff of Campbell county, recently made his eseape by filing off his irons. All the accounts which “have reached us of the growing crops in Texas are highly favorabie. The corn crup is now sccure. The country is well sup- plied with hogs, as well as beeves, and emigrants way rely upon abundant supplies of these substan- tials, in the way of provisions, the coming season. Fewer articles of food wili, doubtless, be imported the coming winter than ever, heretofore, within the same period, notwithstanding the immense in- crease in our population. Moses Barker, of North Carolina, was brought into Indianola in a Mexican cart, a few days since, in a dying condition. He had only time to tell his name, and where he was from, before he expired. Capt. G. K. Lewis has purchased the office of the Nueces Valley, and will hereafter continue that journal, cither under the same or a different name. Dr. Naphegyi has suddenly absconded from Basthrop. A Chapter of Royal Arch Masons has been estab- lished at Ban Antonio. From Santa Fe. |. A et leet of the St. Louis Republican writes from Fort Independence, June 21st, as follows:— The Santa Fe mail has just arrived, and I am en- | abled to Rive ‘ou some information of matters and things in New Mexico, and on the road out. Gov. Calhoun, who, you know, left about the 5th of May, with Hubbles’ party, and stopped by the way in consequence of feeble health, has again re- covered sufficiently to prosecute his journey, and was passed by the mail hag at Middle Cimarone Spring—he is accompanied by Cel. Wooley, D. V. Whiting, W. Jobaton, Esq., and Wm. Love, Post- | master, as also Dr. McFarland Assistant Surgeon, | and Lieutenant Johnson, with an escort of twenty men. Since the Governor’s departure, and that of the | Secretary, Col. Sumner has removed his head qaar- ters from Albuquerque to Santa Fe, whether perma- nently or not, remains to be seen—so that it is now a civil government, under control of the military. Perhaps things may go on smoothly under the pre- sent arrangement, yet 1 am a Ittule apprehensive that some trouble may grow out of it. The Commissary Department, at Fort Union, as I | have telegraphed you, wes entered, a short time | since, and a large amount of provisions abstracted. effort to persuade Mexico that it can only escape a general bankruptey by the sale of tho territory through which passes the western road. And already, in the provision of an agreement of this kind, which tho cabinet of Washington appears to regard as inevitable, it is publicly said that the new provinces will be annexed to the Southern States. Besides, the United States employ other stimulants than promises, in order to hasten the coveted cession. | We know what isthe ordinary process of exten- sion adopted by the American population. The Tndinns form its vanguard, they exercise terrible de- vastations, they make the void. Then comes the American pioneer, who engsges in the struggle with these barbarians, and expels them from the ter- ritory. As the price of his victory he oecupies the lands which he contributed to set free; he draws around him his family and his fellow citizens; then, oneo in power, he raises his voice, and the population who had received him asa deliverer, see that they have given to themselves a master. Such is now-a-days the situation of the provinces of Northern Mexico, The Indians have ravaged them, and the American pioneers take possession of them. ‘Te Mexican au- thorities give them a premium for every scalp of a native. This is the beginning of occupation; these are the ordinary preliminaries of all annexatioys. That is the way in which Texas was gradually | united to the confederation; that is how the territo- ry, crossed by the Western road, will be united to the American confederation, | In fine, there are also some more speedy means to | employ for that aim. ‘The genius of the poople of the United States is fertile in reeources. There is one recent exainple cited tous by M. Du Pasquier de Dommartin, in a most instructive pamphlet:— “The treaty concluded at Guadalupo between the United States and Mexico, appoints, as the eastern limit of their reepective possessions, the Rio Bravo del Norte.

We have just had nows by telegraph of the nomination of General Seott ct Yoururvt Impostor —A girl only thirteen years old, having an infant in .ber arms, was arrested in Philadelphia on Tuesday night, for begging in the streets. She sated that some months ago she lost her father and mother in Maryland, whither the had emigrated from Canada.
