The News. ‘The arrival of the steamship Baltic, with Liver. pool dates to the 23d ult, together with the previous advices brought by the Cambria, enables us to lay be- fore our readers the complete details of one week's events in Europe. This news will be found unusually interesting. It appears that the disturbances in Italy had not been entirely quelled, as was supposed to have been the case at last advices. However, the Austrian army is at this time too powerful to permit even the most sanguine of the conspirators to entertain a hope of success, although fresh but slight discontent has manifested itvelf in various quarters since the outbreak at Milan. Mazzini had lo- cated himself upon the borders, and is said to have forwarded large sums to the chief conspirators to aid them in the cause; but finding that the police were in pursuit of him, he suddenly disappeared- Another and extensive conspiracy to overthrow the Austrian dynasty is reported to have been discovered in Hungary. A fruitless attempt to assassinate the Emperor of Austria, will probably cause the reins upon the unfortunate Magyars to be drawn more tightly than ever. By the way, the letter from Kos- suth, denying the authenticity of the recent proclamation purporting to have emanated from him, will of course attract general atten- tion. It will be seen that he has now addressed a bona fide manifesto to the Hungarians in the Austrian service. We are sorry to hear of the re- newal of hostilities between Turkey and Montenegro. The people of the latter country are said to be re- eeiving assistance from the Austrians. Rumors are @urrent of a proposed alliance between France and England, and one or two minor States, to prevent the encroachments of the northern powers. Those interested will regret to learn that cotton has met with another decline at Liverpool, and that breadstuffs continued exceedingly dull. The case ot the Madiai family, still imprisoned in Tuscany, continues to attract attention both in Eng- land and the United States. We give, this morning, Lord John Russell's letter to Sir Henry L. Bulwer onthe subject. We have several communications touching the case, which we intend to publish to- morrow. We elsewhere publish some additional and highly interesting intelligence from South America, At | last accounts the civil war was still pending in Buenos Ayres, the city was in a state of siege, and the condition of the inhabitants was deplerable in the extreme. Our Pernambuco correspondent furnishes ac@unts of the loss of a Brazilian war steamer, the wreck of a British Australian emigrant ship, the ra- vages of the yellow fever, &c. Our telegraphic despatches from Washington this morning contain a great deal of very interesting matter. One of our special correspondents sticks to the cabinet as originally transmitted to us by him, and declares thatthe rumors of a difficulty in the game, respecting Colonel Jefferson Davis,are all hum- bug. The list will doubtless be confirmed by the Senate to-day. Another writer remarks that a pro- tracted debate is anticipated in open session of the Senate, in which ex-Secretary Clayton will endeavor to vindicate his conduct concerning his treaty with Sir Henry L. Bulwer. An exciting time may be an- ticipated. The time has now arrived for the office hunters, place seekers, and aspirants to posts of honor and profit, to lay their claims, and present their peculiar fitness for the respective stations they would fill, be- fore the new administration. The largely increased population of the country, the hosts that have come into the democratic ranks since the Presidential cam- paign of 1848, and the quick-step march of intelligence which has rendered so many additional thousands capable of discharging the duties of important sta- tions, have all combined to augment the number of aspirants for the different offices in the gift of the general government, without producing any corres- ponding increase of those offices. This fact should be borne in mind by the applicants, and be upper- most in consideration among those who must of ne- cessity be disappointed. In another column we re- publish our list of the names of those who appear to stand most prominent for the different offices to which they lay claim, with all the additions which have come to our knowledge since its previous publica tion. The names are all we can give, leaving the candidates to battle their way to preferment with the best and strongest weapons they have become mas ters of, and without any predilection on our part to advance the claims of any one individual upon the list. Honora Corcoran, the Irish girl whose mysterious disappearance was the cause of the recent riotous proceedings in Charlestown, Mass., has retarned to that city in charge of her mother. She had been taken to Philadelphia, and there remained ti brought away by her parent. By a telegraphic despatch from Philadelphia, we have accounts of no less than three railroad acci- dents. So far as ascertained, nine persons were killed, (six on one train,) and two others were so seriously injured that their recovery is doubtfal. We have a budget of interesting Mexican news, including a complete copy of the Tehuantepec con- tract between the Mexican government and Colonel Bloo and associates. Owing to a crowd of other matter we are compelled to lay it over till to-morrow. PEoPLING THE Pacivic.—Nearly fifteen hun- dred men, women and children left this city on Saturday for California. See the lists of names in another column. Twice a month a like number leave our shores for those of the | The Reform Movement in New York—The Meeting at Metropelitan Hall. ‘The topic which in these latter days has abe sorbed all others of local interest in this me- tropolis—which is discussed in the palaces of the Fifth avenue as warmly as in the humble residences of the working classes—which has even penetrated into Wall street, and usurped for the moment the place of commercial specu- lations—which is in fwet on every tongue. and occupying every mind, is the great and impor. tant matter of municipal reform. For many months past an ominous and not suppressed murmur has been heard, intimating the sup- poged existence of corruption where honor and rectitude were most to be expected, and now that murmur has swelled into a thunderpeal of popular complaint. The action of the Grand Jury in indicting two Aldermen of New York for malfeasance in office and for specific charges of bribery, came upon the public as an assu- rance that there was foundation for the rumors which had been afloat, that the men whom the citizens of New York had selected to watch over their interests and administer their affairs. had betrayed the confidence reposed in them, and been untrue to their constituents and to their own honor. This feeling. which seemed to have seized upon all classes of the community, and to have enlisted all classes and conditions of men among its entertainers, found vent on Saturday even- ing in the immense gathering of citizens who assembled in Metropolitan Hall, pursuant toa call, to adopt measures for reforming the abuses which it is assumed have taken possession of the municipal offices. On the plattorm were congregated men of wealth. intelligence, and worth, whose commercial enterprize has added tothe greatness and prosperity of our great metropolis; and throughout the hall the men of capital, and the men whose only capital is their brawny arm, sat or stood side by side, animated by one common feeling, and exhibiting the deep- est interest in the objects and proceedings of the assembly. It was, indeed, a striking manifesta- tion of that national probity, that regard for rec- titude and fair dealing, and that determined hos- tility to every thing bearing the semblance of cor- ruption or dishonor, which hold such a conspicu- ous place in the American character. The pro- ceedings were conducted with a degree of moderation which is the best guarantee of the final success of the movement. There was no recrimination indulged in; no desire to prejudice improperly the public mind in respect to those whose characters are soon to be placed under the most searching or- deal of a trial by jury, no attempt to prejudge or influence the action of the courts unduly. Tt was just such a meeting as reflected honor on the citizens of New York, who, believing their interests to be set at nought nd disregarded by those in whom they had reposed their confi- dence, determined to act more wisely them- selves in future, and to exercise more prudence in the selection of those to whom they intrust the vast interests of their city. The address prepared for adoption, and those made by the several speakers who addressed the—meeting a full report of*which will be found in another portion of our columns to-day —all tended towards this one point: “ discrimi- nate better for the future. and select your mu- nicipal officers not for their politics but for their integrity.” These addresses will, we are convinced, be read with avidity by the whole community, and it would be therefore a matter of supererogation for us to recapitulate the va- rious points in which reform is proposed. The principal one, however, is, that voters anxious for the common weal should hencetorth disre- gard all primary elections and the candidates put in nomination under them, and record their votes—independent of party consideration—in favor of such men of worth, integrity, and general respect in the community, as might be proposed by a committee of citizens, or as might propose themselves. and solicit their support. Amendments of the existing charter are also to have their share in reforming the abuses complained of, and as all the points, in this respect, are comprised in a bill introduced into the Legislature on Saturday, we will speak of them in connection with this bill. We, however, congratulate the citizens of New York on the calm, temperate, and deter- mined attitude they have assumed in this crisis of their affairs. And we confidently anticipate ihat this dignified moderation which they have exhibited, will be fraught with the happiest re- sults. The public mind of New York. always just and generous, would despise indulging in abuse and recrimination of their servants, re- cognizing the truth that accusation does not necessarily imply criminality, and leaving to the jndicial powers the punishment of those—if any such there be in the Common Council—who may be found guilty of fraud, corruption. or malpractice in office. And the only wise and rational course, in such circumstances, was that adopted at the meeting—obliviousness of the past, and watchfulness for the future. But while there seems to be pervading this community one unanimous and universal belief in the culpability of the Common Council of New York, and while they are on every hand regard- ed as a body who have betrayed their trust and “contaminated their fingers with base bribes,” it is not only generous and fair. but it is neces- for a proper judgment, to listen to the de- nee of the accused. Audi alteram partem is arule which no American, we are sure, will reek to set aside. We, therefore, present our readers this morning with a letter from Alder- man Denman, defending the Common Council on the matter of the enormous city taxation and presenting some facts and views connected with it which must goa great way in exculpa ting the municipal government from the whole- sale charges levelled at them in that most vul- nerable point. From this we pass to the consideration of the bill we have alluded to above, and which we also publish in connection with the reform movement. It was introduced in the House of Assembly on Saturday. by Mr. Rose, of New York, and hears the impression of be- ing the offepring of that general idea which pervaded the meeting of Metrop@fitan Hall. Its general provisions are the election of an alderman from each ward, and of assistant aldermen in some ratio of population—strength- ening the veto power of the Mayor, so that the ordinance once vetoed cannot be reconsidered, except by a two-third vote of the members elected—the deprivation of the aldermen and the assistante of all judicial power—and finally, providing that no public property shall be dis- posed of except after due advertisement of sale, and then by public auction, to the highest bid- der; and that for all ferry and railroad grants, Pacific. The places left vacant by them are | cealed proposals shall be sent in, and only immediately filled by others crowding in from | Furope. They are only a dropfrom the stream and heads of departments. The general drift «! buman beings running into this metropolis. | ond provisions of this act, are, we think, in the cpened in the presence of the Mayor, Recorder main correct and unobjectionable; but the bill, as we have seen it, is loosely drawn, and might easily be evaded. The fourth section is peou- larly ambiguous: the first portion of it deprives the Common Council of all judicial power, and the second leaves with them the functions of a police magistrate—decidedly the most danger- ous power that could be entrusted to them— but we presume that the committee to whom the act is referred, will so alter it as to make it consistent and beneficially operative. Thus the reform movement has auspiciously commenced; and, if it be not taken advantage of to forward special objects. or warped so as to subserve political designs, but be carried on in a wide, liberal and comprehensive sense, we venture to predict that its effects will be great, salutary, and permanent. We trust such will be the case. PRESIDENT Prerce’s InavGuRaL.—Our readers will doubtless feel a curiosity to know how the inaugural address, which has so auspiciously marked the first day of Franklin Pierce’s tenure of the high office of President of the United States, has been received throughout the coun- try. and particularly by the organs of the party which opposed his elevation to that position. To gratify such desire, and to show the cordial, and almost unanimous, manifestation of favor with which that document has been received. we give our readers, this morning, extracts fromthe principal whig papers, as far as re- ceived, which have commented upon it. Every- where laudation is freely bestowed upon it, as a bold. clear, concise, and unmistakeable pro- gramme of that policy which the country and the world may expect to see pursued by the ad- ministration of which General Pierce is at the head. It is recognized as a faithful expositor and a true foreshadower of a policy which will elevate the character of the nation, and cause the republic of the United States to be univer- sally honored and respected. We had almost said that the sentiment of ad- miration was universal; bet we would have a little erred in saying so. We would have overlooked the existence of the abolitionist eec- tion of the whig party in this city. From that alone is heard the dismal croak of disapproba- tion and complaint against this truly American document, and happily thatis a quarter from which any commendation would have sounded suspicious and ominous. Of the whig press of this city, the only journal which has expressed itself displeased with the inaugural, is that organ which represents par excellence the abo- litionist principle in this country. But apart from this—and we can well afford to overlook eccentricity in such a quarter—the universal voice of the country has proclaimed unbounded gratification at the important docu- ment with which President Pierce has greeted his countrymen. Its influence will be felt. throughout the world, and wherever it is read, there the heart enjoying or yearning for freedom will feel a new impulse and nobler aspirations And more than all, we are firmly impressed with the conviction that the mind which con- ceived it is not of such a mouldas would keep the “word of promise to the ear and break it to the hope.” ANOTHER Mission rrom Evrore.—One of our telegraphic despatches, received on Saturday, from Washington, stated that Mr. Pulzsky, one of Kossuth’s aids, had reached that city, to place the government in possession of important information relative to the threatened Rus- sian aggression on Turkey. It will be recollect- ed that it was mentioned recently, in the Lon- don ews, that Kossuth intended to visit the United States shortly after the inauguration of Gen. Pierce, under the belief that the democratic party would favor his intervention schemes. It is very likely that the visit of Mr. Pulzsky to Washington, as the special agent of Kossuth, is to ascertain the feelings of the new govern- ment on the Kossuth doctrine. We rather sus- pect that the Hungarian gentleman will gain very little by his trip to the capital. ree ic Over.—Our merchants are full of business. Our manufacturers cannot supply the demand for goods. Our streets are filled with country traders. Our spring busi- ness is in full blast. Our columns are full of advertisements. Our theatres are crowded every night. We are full—running over. Where’s the end? Meeting of the Common Council. The Common Council will hold their first session for the month of March this evening, and never have they had to assemble under more peculiar and delicate ci: cumstances. The corporate reform meeting of the citizens of New York, held on Saturday night, may oecasion some dis cussion—and the two Boards will, perhaps, desire an in- vestigation; if they do, it will be willingly accord ed them, The application for the Ninth Avenue Rail- road will be brought up, but the present position of the Common Council before the courts, with regard to the Broadway and Second Avenue railway grants, may induee them to suspend for the present any action on that pro- posed project. The recent presentment of the Grand Jury will, of course, call for some explanations; there fore, altogether this will be the most exciting and inter- esting session of the Common Council we have ever had The Board of Supervisors will also commence their duties for the month this evening. Some time since the Board of Assistant Aldermen pass- ed a resolution authorizing the Russ pavement to be laid down in Park row, Chatham street and the Bowery. We have been patiently waiting the concurrence of the Board of Aldermen, but nothing has yet been done to wardsthis desirable improvement in these great thorough- fares, Itis full time the eastern part of the city had the benefit of this pavement. It will afford important facili- ties to the immense stream of vehicles passing through Chatham street. We hope the Board of Aldermen will put this resolution through at once, #0 that before an other winter the Bowery will have as fine a pavement as Broadway. . The March Term of the Law Courts. This being the Grst Monday in the month, the business of the several law courta will be commenced. The Supe- rior Court will hold two branches for trials. The Su preme Court, Circuit, is already in session, but the Com mon Pleas will not take up the trial ealendar this month; they will sit for arguments in general term. Railroad injunctions have monopolized most of the time and at tention of the judiciary and the public for some time past, and we anticipate many more proceedings of the same kind. The United States Cirewit will not be held this month, as Judge Betts is engaged in the Distriet Court and Judges Nelson and Hall are occupied elsewhere, and unable to attend. In the United States departments there will, of course, soon be come changes, but the suc cossors of Mr. Prescott Hall as District Attorney, and Mr. F. H. Tallmadge as Marshal, are not yet positively known. The present Chief Clerk, Mr. Ridgeway, and Deputy Marrbal Thompson have acted under several ad- ministrations, and will, doubtless, from their knowledge of the routine business of their offices, be retained by the incoming principals. In the Court of General Sessions, Judge Beebe will pre- side, and the Aldermen in rotation are Messrs, Pearsall and Bard, of the Thirteenth and Fourteenth wards, the latter having sat last term in leu of Alderman Tieman, whose turn it was, Up to last evening the calendar had not been prepared; we cannot, therefore, give the particulars, Two weeks of the regular February term having been consumed by the Doty case, the numbers awaiting trial have, of course, accumulated, and a rather long list may be antielpated of ordinary crimes, but there has been no committals for any of a remarkable nature, a Bhe arrived at the latter city on the 1st instant, 6:30 A. M., and sailed again at 12 M. the same day. The propeller Albatross, which arrived on the 26th ult. from New Orleans, remained in port, being unable to get away for want of coal, there being very little in the city. chy Intelligence, ‘Tur Weatuen.—Yesterday was very fine indeed, the sun shining with all the brillianey of a May day, Thousands of people might be seen we their way up Broadway to the various avenues which lead out of the city, to en- joy some recreation after being pent up during the entire week in this great metropolis. What little snow now re- mains is fast melting away beneath the rays of the sun. Last night at nine o'clock, the thermometer at the He- rald office, stood at the freezing point. Finz —About half-past seven o’clock on Saturday even- ing, a fire was discovered in the basement of buildings Nos. 86 and 88 East Eleventh street, occupied by W. E. Brockway, asa mineral water manufactory, which was not extinguished before property to the amount of $1,300, on which there was no insurance, was destroyed. Coroners’ Inquests. ‘Tue Accent vron THe Hupson River Rattroap —Co rover Hilton held an inquest, at the Nineteenth Ward Station Seu, seehaeier, upon the body of James Norris, who was killed, at 4 o'clock Saturday evening, *from being struck by a locomotive upon the above road when near Sixty-first street. Owen Murgan, who was accused of having pushed the deceased upon the track, was brought up in custody. ‘The following testimony was en:— James Baird deposed—I am an engineer upon the Hud- son River Railroad; about ten minutes before four o’clock yesterday (Paturdsy) evening, I was running the sccom- modation way train into New York; when turning a short curve, near Bixty-first street, I saw the deceased and another man on ornear the track skylarking and scuffling; when I first saw them I was about five or six rods from them;1 was running at the rate of from twelve to fifteen miles an hour; as [ came near I obre that they swere between the two tracks; they did not appear to observe the approach of the train; I gave the usual alarm by ringing the bell and whistling; I was slowing the engine at the time I came within sight of the deeeas:d; the engine struck the deceas- ed; the bell was ringing and the whistle blowing at the time ; from that time I saw him uptil the engine struck him could not have been more than a minute; I could not stop the engine in that time; I was standing upon the right hand side of the engine and the left hand corner of it truck the deceased. A good deal of other testimony was taken, but all tended to show that Murgan and Nor- ris were hauling and pulling each other harmlessly when the unfortunate accident occurred. Doctor Hepburn stated the nature of the dreadful injuries sustained by Norris, he jury rendered the) following verdict :— “Death from injuries accidentally received by being struck by a locomotive on the Hudson river railroad while ina scuffle with Owen Murgan, and that there is no blame attached to those Paying! the engine in charge.’’ The deceased was about twenty-three years of age and a native of Ireland. Murgan was discharged from custody. DisressixG DEaru oF A Cump.—Coroner 0’Donne'l held an inquest yesterday, at the house 288 West Nineteenth Trechupsm Weineds, of) & hoy named Enoch Paul Judd who met his death in the following manner. It appears from the testimony of Charles Judd, father of the deceas- ed, that the small'pox has been in his family for three weeks; two boys passed through it ; another was ill four days and the deoeased sickened on Thursday last. About twelve o'clock Saturday night, witness went into the room in order to give the boy a driuk, and found him ly- ing with his head turned under his left shoulder, his leit cheek resting upon the floor, and hia feet still upon the bed; he was then dead. After hearing the medical tes- tieony of Doctor Uhl, the jury rendered a verdict of | death from strangulation, occasioned by falling from his bed while in a stave of delirium, The deceased was twelve years of age, anda native of England. Tae Suicmpe IN Frest Avexue.—Jobn Hall, theman who atiempted suicide by shooting him-elf, in the drug store No, 386 First avenue, on Friday eyening, died in Belle yue Hospital last Saturday night. Coroner Gamble held an inquest yesterday. ‘William Wood, clerk in the store, deposed—I was well acquainted with the deceased; he came into the store upon the evening in question, in an excited state; he asked to see Mrs. Longrig, wife of the proprietor; after little while he went out and soon returned; he commenced | to quote Shakspeare, saying, ‘Iam mad,” &c.; his de clamations were incoherent; I was then standing bebiné | the counter; he drew out one of the pistols and directed it towards my heart; I kept my eye upon him; he turned towards the door; I then stooped behind the counter, out of his sight; he missed me instantly, and looked towards the inner door; he then excla.med, “To be, ornot to be,”* and at ‘eee same time raised the pistol near his head, fired and fell Evicence hdd hs as to the taking of the deceased to the hospital, Doctor Steph+ns deposed to the nature of the injuries. The jury, rendered verdict of death fiom convulsions from his having received a gunshot wound near the right eye, from a pistol in his own hand, while laboring under a temporary aberration of mind. ‘The deceased was twenty-three years of age, and a native of New York. ‘The ame Coroner held an inquest upon the body of Fliza Smith, aged sixty, who died in the institution, sud- denly. The jury rendered a verdict of death from dis- ease of the heart. The deceased was a native of Ireland Police Intelligence. Robtery in the First Degree—Juvenile wity.—Two boys of the age of fourteen years, named John Haley and George Young, were arrested on Saturday night, by offi- cer Flanley, of the Fourth ward, on a charge of violently assaulting Robert Crawford, in the public street, knocking him down and stealing from his person a purse containing about 75 cents, in change. It seems by the evidence against these two juvenile robbers, that Crawford, who rexides at No. 84 James street, was at about half past 11 o’clock on Saturday night, returning to his lodgings from Cherry street, and when a short distance peed street Haley came vp to him and asked if he (Crawford) was going to treat. ‘I have no money,” was Crawford's reply ‘Let me see,’ said Haley, at the same time thrusting his hand into Crawford’s pocket and pulling out the purse containing the small amount of money. On that instant, either Haley or Young struek Craw- ford a violent blow, which knocked him down, and when down, the young ratcals continued to beat him severely. On the arrival of the police, Young was standing over Crawford in the act of rifling hin pockets. The accused parties were conveyed before Justice Osborn, who placed them under examination for the offence. Haley said he was born in Ireland, 14 years of age, and formerly worked at the printing business. Young says he was born in Massachurette, and worked at the hat business. The: both denied the charge. The magistrate committed both to prison for trial, in default of $1,060 bail, Charge of Stealing a Gold Watch and Money —Oficer Gilliard, of the First ward, on Saturday arrested an En- glicbman ramed David Kaden, on a charge of stealing a gold watch and chain, valued at $80; also, gold coin Smounting to near $100. the property of William Wilkinson, residing at No. 128 Greenwich street. Foon after the property wax stolen, Mr. Euden followed after the thief, and caused his arrest. On searching the accused, the majority of the money was found, and the watch secreted in his boot. The rogue was conveyed be- fore the magistrate, who committed him to prison for Arrest of a Burglar.—A black man of notorious charac ter, known to the police as Henry Nation, was arrested by officer Riker, of the Sixth ward police, charged with breaking into the premises No. {3 Cross street, and ateal- ing therefrom a quantity of clothing, the property of | Amanda Williams, valued at $36. ‘the burglar wi caught by the officer as be wan escaping through a win. | dow, having in his possession the stolen articles. Osborn committed the accused to prison for trial. Stealing Gold Watches.—Ofiicer O’Brien, of the Four- teenth ward, on Saturday night, arrested 2 man, named Louie Frior, charged with stealing two gold watehes, va- lued in all at the $265. One of the watches belonged to William ©. Russell, of No. 261 Fourth avenue, and the other to Dr. Carnochan, of No. 776 Broadway.’ The ac- cured was conveyed before Justice Wood, who committed him to prison to answer the charge. A Vicious Woman.—Officer Barnley, of the Eleventh | ward, on Saturday, arrested a women, calling herself Ann | Fogai, on a charge of stealing a dress, valued at $2, the | | property of Ellen MeCrane, On missing the dros’ Mrs cCrane went forthwith to the pawn shop, and there she found Mrs. Fogal just offering the dress to pledge, Mra, MoCrane endeavored to get back her dress, when an_af- fary took place between them, wherein Mrs. Fogal seized Mrs. MeCrane’s finger between her teeth and nearly se- yered it from the hand. ‘The accu:ed was taken before Justice Wood, bo committed her to pris n for trial.

The R. M. steamship Severn leaves directly for Southampton, and as her news may reach you before that by any direct opportunity, I avail myself of her departure to write you a few lines. Our climate is too even and warm to allow of our getting excited about the most startling intelligence; otherwise the news per Brazilian mail steamer from the southern ports, would have caused more surprise. She brought the intelligence of the total loss, near Cape Frio, of the gplendid Brazilian war steamer Affonso, while in pursuit ofa slaver. Your advices from the south by this conveyance, will doubtless give you full particulars of the loss; therefore, I will remain content with the mention of the fact. A British ship, with some two hundred emigrants for Australia—taid to be the Sir Fowell Buxton— was wrecked on this coast to the northward of Parai- ba; and the British Consul, on account of his govern- ment, has chartered the English brig Richard, Capt. White, for £3,200 sterling, to go up and take the passengers to their destination. How would these distressed subjects have managed had they been from the United States, in an Ameri- can ship? Would Jonathan have provided for them as Jobn Bull has done, or left them to the charity of a foreign people, with many of them, perhaps, to fall victims to tropical fevers! James Wright Gordon, U. 8. Consul at this port, has just returned from the States via Rio de Janeiro. It issaid he 1a afflicted with o disease which renders it necessary for him to spend his winters in a milder clime than Michigan. His predecessor, C. G. Sa- linas, it is said, is assured by his friends in the United States of a re-appointment under the Pierce administration. I heard a beautiful commentary on the wisdom of the Brazilian revenue laws, which force people at times to act contrary to their conscience and wishes. It scems that on the arrival of a vessel, her con- signees discovered some valuable item of her cargo not manifested. Her manifests having been delivered to the proper authorities, it was too late to note it therein, and tomention itat all to the Collector would incur the seizure of the article and an additional fine of 160 per cent on its value. Of course it wassmug- gled; so, instead of the law encouraging honesty, and thus allowing the captain to correct an oversight, by which course the Custom House would receive their duty on thearticle, they drive-a man to smuggle against his will, and they lose what he would rather pay them, provided they would accept it, and not tine him for wishing to give them their dues. It is strange the government can’t see the working of such stupid regulations, and almost as strange that other (ee don’t try to open their eyes to it, and thus do something towards saving their own people who are trading with the Brazils many annoyances and impositions. Those in charge of the mail of the United States steamer Saranac deserve thanks for their care of it; for the steamer was at Maranham, Pernambuco, and Bahia, several days at each, and left this port about the last of November. Now, the mail from Rio de Janeiro brings letters and papers carried there by her. The mail must certainly have been well guarded, and very nec on board, to induce them to cai it, or a part of it, to Rio, when all might have been delivered at her first port. ‘our Rio advices will tell you of the yellow fever being at that port. Pernambuco is more favored, being entirely free from it as yet, and it being so late in the seazon leaves room to hope. that if it does pay its usual annual visit here, it will be milder and of shorter duration. The occasional notices of the caloric ship Ericsson, leads to the supposition that it will succeed; and, in such anxiously desired event for the establishment of a regular line between the Brazils and the United States, calling at St. Thomas, such aline would complete the mail communication to all the princi- pal parts of the world, and be a great advantage in communicating between this coast and the west coast of North and South America, and the “ new world” of the West, Australia, with which places there is felt, on this coast, a great want of regular and certain communication. The principal corres- pears between all this coast and the United tates is now carried on per English mail steamera, which leave Southampton on the 9th of each month. NEWSPAPER ACCOUNTS. The news from Buenos Ayres is of a most unfavor- able character. A new revolution having taken | place, a fresh provisional government was installed; a civil war immediately broke out, and continued up to the date of the sailing of the packet. The follow- ing are extracts from a private letter, dated Buenos Ayres, Jan. 2, 1853. Deermber has been a stirring month for our good city. On the Ist a revolution broke out, headed by the Minis- ter of War. As adislike to the person of Governor Al- sina was the only motive assigned, he disinterestedly and patriotically resigned, thinking thereby to alla; the tempest. “This point conceded, new deman: were preferred, and it soon became evident that the first bes oa was to levy a heavy contribution on the capital, and then ‘seize the verninent, falling back on the assistance gf Urquiza, it necessary: To this last condition very few in the city were willing te accede, and accordingly we have another new govern- ment, and the revolution still continues; the town closel: berieged by the gauchos; all business at a dead stand still; beef, the staff of life with a large Proportion of the com: munity, at 40 or 60 times its usual price; and almost daily skirmirhes in the neighborliood of the city and in the lanes of the outskirts “Every native is or ought to be » roloier; and many foreigners, from instinct or sympathy, lend their aid for the defence of the capital. We consider the triumph secnre in the first instance, but should the rebela be allowed to retreat to the north, and form a junction with Urquiza, it may occasion a serious com- lication. We have Meh? cet news from the capital of araguay. Sir Charles Hotham had arrived there, but matters were not going on very smoothly with the forel; diplomatists. It is reported’ to-day that a son of the President of Paraguay has arrived here, supposed to be on a special mission. We should not be surprised to hear that the Paraguayans embrace the cause of Buenos Ayres. Their commercial interests may euggest and would amply justify that policy. An cfficial proclamation has just been issued, announc- ing the approach to the city of Colonel Pedro Rosas y Belgrano, at the head of 5,000 men, in support of the Provisional government. On the receipt of this intelli- gence, General Pacheco sallied from the city and dis! the besiegers from the bridge, putting them to flight with considerable loss in killed and wounded, and captur- ing rome munitions of war. At the commencement of the disturbances, Mr. Gore, the British Minister, published the subjoined: — Nonce.—All British subjects voluntarily taking up arms at the present critical moment, for the protection of their lives and property, are cautioned on no account whatever to join themselves to one or other of the par- ties which unhappily divide the city and province of Buenos Ayres. ROBERT GORE. British Legation Dec. 10, 1852. The United States Consul likewise issued the following: Usiren Stata: Coxsurate. The undersigned, Consul of the United States of Nortn America, would suggest to those of his fellow citizens who may take up arms at the present critical moment in self-defence, that it is their duty to conduct them- relves with a strict neutrality in regard to the political questions that agitate the community. __ JOS. GRAHAM, United States Consul. The British Packet, of January 1, contains the fol- lowing as the latest news:— 1858 has been initiated bya smart skirmish to the south, the details of which we cannot expect to receive in time for our present number. It appears, however, that the Convalecencia has been taken by the town forces, and the aseailante driven across the Barraca bridge with a heavy loss. Rumors of many kinds are afloat; one too ood we fear, to be true, that the vanguard of Colonel ‘o-as y Helgrano had arrived and attacked the besiegers in the rear. Honor to the brave survivors! Pease to the menes of thove who have fallen in their country’s cause !

It _is pos- sible that the forces from tho south, headed by Don Pe- dro Rosas y Belgrano, have made or are making detour tointercept their retreat towards the north, in which case their unconditional surrender or dis is in- evitable.

Fire snp Serious DisturRBaNce IN Paria- DELPHIA—NECESSITY FOR A Parp Fire Depart~ mMENT.—About twelve o’clock on Monday night, a two story brick house, occupied as a ter’s shop, and as a cooper’s shop, was set on fire, and, with its contents, was entirely destroyed. The flames communicated to a range of stables in the rear of the shops, and damaged them considerably. All the horses, with a single exceptien, were safely out. One poor beast was considerably scorched before he could be reacued. Just after the fire broke out, a serious melee occurred between the members of the United States and the Lafayette Hose Companies, The former company was U) the ground in superior numbers, and soon drove the members of the Lafayette from their carriage, and. took charge of the apparatus, which they commenced. battering with clubs and stones. Officers Jeremiah H. Reed and Joseph Myers, of the Northern Liber- ties division of the Marshal’: police, were upon the ground, and undertook to arrest some of the active participants in the disturbance. The officers were attacked by the members of the United States, and they were compelled to draw their revolvers in self- defence. A man named Hinkle, who had struck Mr. Reed, was fired upon by that officer, and wounded in the leg. The officers succeeded in driving off the assailants, and in restoring the carriage of the Lafayette to the members of the com- y. Two of the assailants, named James Griffey and John Metz, were arrested. Both of these men are members of the United States Hose Company.— Philadelphia Budletin, March 1. Theatrical and Musical.
