Our Havana correpndent says, unler date 12th July :—* There is Lothing new whatever from Mexi- co. the British mail steamer Avon arrived hereon the 9th. She brought no newspapers. A Mexican pas- wenger told me that Sauta Auna was endeavoring to Fake about 45,000 men, part of whom were to be Militia ; but he bas no bad intentions—not for the present, at least. “The English brig-of-war Daring has seen the Lady Buffulk. She is sale in the hands of the Mexican authcrities at Lazuna. In the meautime, the British miister will doubtless p: her confiscation with the government at headquarters. There is no doubt the descrip ion of the slaver in the Hegaup of the 6th of December last was the means of detecting her, although she was under another name. “All the newspapers—English and American—are now prohibited circulation here. What will the ‘Times say ? “ The sjarish squedron are still at sea, but had not beea at Vera Cruz when the British steamer left, about the th inst. “ Lieutenan’ Smith and four seamen of the Daring were downed about two weeks ago, while attempt ting to cross tLe bar at Tampico during a norther.” We have re eived files of the Havana journals up to the 12th July. An accident, attended with melancholy results, had .c urred i Havaua at the circus, or race course, en tunday, te 10th, by which several persons were very seriously and some mortally injured: An extr.otdinari!y !arze concourse of people had assembled to witness the exhibition which was got up by the agricultural commissiva, benches having been raised for the accommodation of the spectators by a private speculator, by leave of the commission. As his Excellency the Captain General entered, about half-past five o’clock P. M., the crowds pressed to gee and-salute him, and the gallery, being too weak- ly constructed, gave way, and precipitated great wumbers of people on those below. We do not see that avy were killed except Don Gabriel Alguacil, a native of Gallicia. The Havana newspapers, as ‘usual, give no satisfactory account of the numbers killed or wounded. ‘The Havana papers contain Mexican news up to the lst of July, and republish several articles from the journals of the metropolis. Among them are the tollowing :— Senor Salazar Ilaregui, chief of the Boundary Com- i miesion, has given injormation to the supreme go- | vernment on the matter of the Mesilla Valley which he shows the right of Mexico to the ter: in question. The following is the form of the oath required fr a those who hold public offices :—“ I swear to Goi to sustain the independence of the nation, and the integ- rity of its territory, and to fulfil faithfully the duties of my office, under the bases adopted by the interior administration of the repnitic by the decree of the 32d April, 1853.” ‘A decree has been published uridet the termé or ; which the Mexicans who swore not to fight in the | war with the United States, or who in presence of | the enemy sought their parole, may acquire an sinnesty. General Parodi has been gazetted to the rank of General of Brigade, in acknowledgment of his ser- vices at the battle of Angostura. There is still another ramor—not credited by the Mexican press—of preparations being made for a new invasion of Sonora by the redoubtable Count | Raousset Boulbon. The expedition was said to be under the patronage of some members of the Legisla tare of Upper California, ae The Indien -vusuue their depredations in Chi- Ibuahua. Onthe 23d June a party of forty attacked two gentlemen, one of whom they grievously wound- ed, and carried off his daughter. On the next day the Indians were encountered by a party who went out in pursuit of them, and who took from them their horses and arms and four prisoners, among whom was a daughiter of the leader of the party. The Mexican correspondent of the Diario dela Marina, writing under date of July Ist, suys:— In all branches of the administration the govern- ment works without difficulty, aud, thanks w their efforts, there are already seen considerable advan- tages in the interior organization of the republic adequate to our warts and customs, the principal beinw the consolidation of the peace we now enjoy. To this end will also contrivute the new territorial givision in which the government is occupied, aad which will soon be concluded. Nothing is omitted to give the most per’ect organization possinle to the army, rendering it worthy of its institution, and on which, in every event, the republic depends for the firm maintenance of its independence and national ity. The population of Mexico is given, as—Indians, 4,345,886; half-castes, &c., 2,165,345; negroes, 6,600; whites, 1,100,000. Total, 7,626,531. The total num- ber who knew how to read and write when the cen- was was taken was 653,069, including 87,229 Indians. The following appeal and statement of the three young American sailors now in custody in Havana, ander the charge of having been engaged in a sla- ving expedition, has been sent to us by them for wlication. It ia directed to the Hon. Mr. Marcy, Becretary ot Etate: Havana Prison,"Jaly 8, 1553. Sin—We wish to give yous true and brief a¢- count concerning by what means we became placed in our present cituation, hoping that when you have | the full particulars you can do something for us., We left New York on the 12th of December last, in the | bark Jasper, bound, as we were told ia the shipping office, to Siera Leone. Before soap New York, as we were getting under way, we took on board two entiemen, a8 passengers for the above named place. re were also on board at the time two men who we understood, or were made to believe at the time, to be the supercargo aud his uncle. We were at sea two days or more before we knew them to be Spanish; still we were altogether ignorant of any de- eeit being practiced upon us. Everything went well until we arrived atthe coast of africa, at a place eailed E!mina. Some of the crew asked the mate the reasou of our not going to the place they told us in New York; and he said that, as far as he could un- derstand, the supercarzo had changed his mind, and intended to go farther down the coast; so we thought nothing of it. The supercargo went on shore at that place, and the next day we discharged some of her cargo, Which was rum. In two or three days we got under way, and went farther down, to Cape Coast, at which place the captain and mate quarrelied, which ended in the mate's being discharged at that lace. The secoud mate then did the mate's daty, and one of the men forward was picked out for second mate. We took some elephants’ tusks on board at Cape Coast, and one hundred bales of tobacco. We g under way at that place, and the Captain seemed be very kind to us all at once, since the mate had left. The men used to grumble at the living we had. The captain congratulated himself and us for having removed the cause of the discontent among the crew. He said thathe had been going to sea seventeen years, and not in one instance had the crew to get discontented. He said that we were able, good men, and that he in- tended to ret her rigging up, and get her cation fixed up before she arrived at New York again. All this was done to blind us as to their intentions, bat we cid not once think of such a thing. The next place we went was called Littlemina; the en go went on shore at this place and was sahore eight days. In the meantime an Hoglish steam frigute boarded us, the captain overhauled ns and went away. Onr captain told as that he had bargained with the captain of the frigate for some white dack tofMlotues for us, as we were short of clothes, and he said that in three or four days we were to go down to where she wys or would be at anchor We took on board a great many ducks, and several hoys aid kids, and all the water casks were filled. We asked the reason they filled thom all at once, and they seid that farther down the coast water was brackish und not fit to drink. The next day the snperesrge came On board, and we got ander way to £9 down to where the Buglieh trigate lay. We were under sail two days,,when we dropped into a place we do not know the name of, but we understood that it was to tuke the supercargo’s uncle ou board. We discbarged there four or tive pipes of ram, and the tobacco that we tock farther up ‘he coast. This ploce was Spanish, for they hoisted the Spanisa flag. About 10 e’clock we put the hatches on. as they said there waS no more rum yolug ashore that day. About 11 o'clock we saw about thirty or forty canoes shove off from the shore. We thoaght they were coming tor cargo. We were glad to -ee them coming, as we thought the faster the cargo was discherged, the sooner we would get to the United States again. The man that was acting eccond mate, asked if the men should take the Latches off, and get up some more rum, as the canoes were coming the sapercargo said no, they were not coming to the ship, they were going down the coast lo catch fish, he supposed. At 12 o'clock, as soon as the crew bad got through their dinu captain gave orders to get the ship under wa We hove the suchor up; the second mate asked tle Cap- tuin if they should cast the anchor, and he said no, they would be at auchor before night, aud it wonld pot be worth while. The supercargo had the helm. We run, as we supposed, about twenty or thirty miles down the coast, when we saw all these canoes again, hauled up on the beach, and as soon as we came in close enough, they hauled theireauves down into the water. We wete at 2 loss whut to think of it. We asked one ef the Spaniards what th were going to do, aud he said he did nut kuow. We bad let go the anchor, and were clewing up the sails, when-tbe captain called the second mate into the cubin. He was not in the cabin long when the cabia boy came forward and said there was something up. L beard the captain tell the second mate he had sold the ship, ard was going to pay all the meu off three months extra pay. By this time the uesroes were coming aboard, and before we were all paid they had the cabin nearly full of negroes. We were altcgether ken unawares. We knew net what to do, or what was the besttodo, The captain said “Be men; damn it, don't act like children.” There were tour Spaniards or Portuguese that came off in one of the canoes that were taking the negroes on board while we were being paid off. We told the captain we wished to go on shore, and he told us there was not an American or Buglish consul within five bundred miles of us, and if we went on shore he could not protect us. He said that it would cost him five huncred dollars to get to the States. At the time he was paying us off, he said to us “Yousce what is up—I hive sold my vessel—I have made alosing voyace, and I have to get home the best way [ can—they are bound to take you home as passengers.” One of the men called to a canoe that had discharged the grees, and the Spanish cap- tain motionrd for the canve not to come alongside, so we Lad no possibility of going ashore, had we at- tempted to, ‘the Spauish captain, or the supercargo, told us he was now captain of the vessel, acd we might as well co to working the vessel. ‘There were seven Spaniards ail told, aud they had all the firearms ia their postertion. They were also armed with knives, and we hud no other resouyce than to go to working the vessel. There were three hundred and fifty ue- groes on board. We were compelled to do duty at the point of their knives. The captain told us he would pay us fifty dollars atmouth when we got to Cuba. CONTINUATION OF THE SAILORS’ STORY. The same night the negroes came on boa:d the cable was slipped and we stood to sea; the greater part of the time was spent in getting thiags fixed for the negroes; the galley stove was altered, aud the partition that separates the cabin from the store rooms each side were cut away, so that the negroes (women) could occupy the wivle space; twice we refused to work the ship, and twice we were forced, atthe point of their knives, to go to work agaiu; when we came close to the coast of Cuba they began tw be more civil to us; we made the land to the west- ward of Jamaica, on the suuth side of Cuba; we were fifty-six duys on the passage; we saw several suil of ye-selx as we neared the West Indies, but always kept away from them; the second mate was more severe on Us than the rest of them; he always c, the carried a : knife in his belt; in one instance he cau © ol the men by the throat and would have tal bed him had the man not clinched him; the rest of the crew hearing the noise, they ran to his as- ce; in the meantime be dropped his knife, ich oneo the men picked up and gave to him; the man that picked up the knife was a Portuguese; Radeiff struck the Portuguese with his fist, and just at that time the captain and mate came forward with their pistols cocked, and forved us to return to our duty; five days after that we made the land, and run in as close #8 we could, and let go the anchor, a man came off 1n a beat aud told tbe captain he was at the wrong place; we got under weigh, aud stood along the lund to the westward for about twelve ames, and let go the anchor agaiu; the mate went ashore auf Was informed that was not the place; we made sai] agoth and stood along till daylight, when the vessel tn arhore, about oné tits Yoni the beach; the captain ordered the boats to be launched, and by that time three or four boets came off from the shore; they landed he negroes in about one hour; we then tried to get the ves-el off, but conld net; the next day we were occupied in getting her off, but to uy purpcse; we sent dowy, vopgailant yards and masts; then the mate and & couple of men went down into the hold and started some of the water casks, thea we pumped her out and let her stand a little; at dark there was about twelve people from the shore beside a pilot; at high water she swung off, and she ran about three hundred yards when she ran aground aguin; they then let down her larboard bow sachur to the stern of a large sailboat, but they had not | pulled Lut about ten feet when they let go of the anchor; we do not know whether it was dose on purpose or not, but we were told to get our clothes aud go ashore, as they were going to set the ship on fire; we got into the longboat, the Portuguese also, and the mate, and we wentalong the cvast about twelve or firteen miles; a large Spauish sailboat towed us to the place: there were two or three tish- ing huts on the beach, wuich were all we could see; we stopped here abvut ten days, when we were told that aschoo-er would take us to Havana; there was no schooner came for us; at this time Radcliff | was nearly deal with the dysentery, and William | Hussy, that had hipped as secoud mate, could scarcely walk with a swelled leg; be is an old man, ot sixty or seventy years of age; we proposed to | Robinson and the rest to take the longboat, but RoLinsou said he would not leave Radcliff while he was so sick; we were fifteen diys ashore, when on that night we tock the longboat and put water into her, and a small bag of coru, and some honey in a jar; the boy and the cook were afraid the lougbout would stond no eea, and they did not knowon what part of the island they were; we bid the rest of the men good-bye, aud we left them; we told them we expected to be picked up before we were out long; we were two days irom the place wien we | put in tothe land for water and » decker we went on shore; we asked the naine of the place; they told as it was Cape Antonio; they gave us seme potatoes, and while we were getting some water they sent for the soldiers, who asked us where we were from, and we told them trom Ja- maica; they asked us where we intended to go; we told them to Key West or to the American Consol in Havana; they then sent two soldiers and a pilot in the boat, and Soren us on board the Spanish man-of-war schooner Habanero, where they ques- tioned us aguin as to where we were from; we were afraid to tell them the truth for tear they would put us in prison, and never let any one kuow anything about us; and we told them that we came from Ja- maica, and that we had ran away from a vessel at that place; two of us told that we left the Duke of Wellington, the other told he left the Oriole. The commandant ordered us to be put in irons, and a sentry placed over us; we asked if they would not resent us to the American Cohanl; they said yes, put it was necessary to wait for orders trom Havana; they kept us on bourd thirty-five days, when we were transferred to Havana in @ small schooner and put on board of the steamer Ulloa, where they kept us eight days; from thence we were removed to where we now are. We have had no opportunity to write before; we were putinto the jail; we have written nothing but the plain truth, which, if the rest of the crew can be tound. they will testify to the same; we told some of the men that if we were picked ap, or got to any place where there was an Aterican Con- sul, we would tell him as to their whereabouta, and how they came there; we do not know what became of the rest of the crew after we left them; there was no prospect of getting away from the island. When we left, when we bid Radcliff good bye, he said he would not live over two or three days; he was then so weak he could not walk. We were deceived and drawed blindly into a trade which we neither gave our heart nor band to. Yours with respect. (Signed.) WitLiAM FReenurn, Wi..iam ATKINS, Harvey C. Parks. To Gov. Marcy, Secretary of State, Washington. We have translated from the Diarto de la Marma of Havana of the 12th July the following article: — When we counselled the Southern States that they would gain nothing by provoking the new distnem- berment of Mexico by means of an unjust war, even though the result of it might be, in the highest de gree, favorable to them, we cited recent experience to support our assertions. In fact, whut inch of soil has the South attained to strengthen, according to its desire, its peculiar institution? Nota single one, and even it bas seen vivlated in spirit the old Mis- souri compromise, since the actual limite of Cali- fornia extend much to the south of the thirty six and a half degrees of latitude there fixed on. Neverthe- lese, the South contributed to victory with more than its dee quota of blood, and also contributed to the rebase of the ceded territory in the identi-al pro- tion in which it contributes to supply the neces sof the exchequer. A new comproiaise has been its reward, and from this it only took tie Fugitive Elave Law—the simple revalidation of an old right, Besides, the ‘eries of measures, which provoked so mrch oppesition, and which only obtained a tent throngh the necessity of shunning a civil war, attained a majority of votes merely because, in reality, the fiee-soil coctrines gained thereby £0 much ve they could desire. So déclaved the ora- tors, more than seflieient throngh their namber and weight to inficence the majority, snd who, opposed to an abstract and offensive declaration, were still obliged to resist whatever widening of the organiza- tion of labor under the Southern ty For this reason, alo, the aunexation of New Mex- ico to wh ch Texas aspired, was openly refused, Cession managed the matter certainly, becaure that forms part of @ system—perhaps not badly under- ttood when it be made availahle—oi arrang- ing amicably with money importont d But if Texas bed been obst'iate a little dispute would have commenced in which she would have wrested ize, and to this end—if we can believe secret professed the negotivtious during the last dvys of General Taylor. Te was nevertheless the President of the Sui and of Louisiana, his prin- cipalminieter, Mr. Clayton, being of Delaware, State belonging at the same time to the Southern group; when could then bave been obtaine? a more prepiious combination ? And it was not said that the pretensions of Texas were unfounded in right, and that thence proceeded the opposition with which they were surrounded. ‘The fact is certain, but we are sorry not to be able to concede any great influence to’ the cousid- eration of strict. justice when political ques- tions, and particularly those of such a natare are trented of. “New Mexico was not the property of Texas, but as little was, or had ever been, the strip of land running between the mouths of the Nueces end these of the Rio Bravo. Both titleewere equally well founded, and were support- ed in the arbitrary appointment of boundaries which Texas bad assigned to itself, But whilst in one case the pretension was eustained by declaration to the point of provoking war as an immediate pretext, on the other it was restrained with like earuestuess. Why this difierence? Because between the apparent aud visible likeness there was concealed a total dis Saude of interests and a strife of very high pria- ciples. This undeceiving has its rise in obvious causes, in some re-pects unknown to those whom their kuow- Jedge most interests. DPhe Southern States tive ina factitious atmosphere. Irritated, and not without sufficient motive, by the exaggeration, of the fanatic scbool, with its physical and moral existence placed on trial, and convinced, as any rational entity, of the fatal consequences of certain doctrines, they have run ito the comnion error of all reactions. Living among themselves, they have yielded to the illusion of believing their theories universally accepted, and what is worre, ol exaggerating them. That which can be and ought to be resolutely defended, because it ex- ists, and vecause it constitutes an inherent part of the inberitance which past generations have bequeathed them, (bey tuve ‘attempted to convert into an insti- tution gocd and fine in itself, worthy, not merely of perpetuxt on, (which we concede to it so long as no satisfactory solution is furnished to the problem pre- sented,) but of imitation. The consequences of so talse a position may be gloomy for those who are placed in it, because they take an offensive attitude, which does not suit them, its rear guard remaining as it is, uncovered. The theory which governs the ratiocination of our peighbers has only o be entertaived in discussing whether it is or is not false. It is enough to know that in this age and with its predominant tendencies or opinions itis au imposssible theory. The true po- liey, then, for such a case is not the aggressive, but the conservative. andit is that which, in everything, and for everything, the Southern States ought to follow, if they have an elevated intelligence of what suits them. It is not enough to refrain from making their natural allies hostile to them, but alzo it is ne- cessary for them to abstain from compromising our common cause with puerile, and nothing less than puerile, unrealizable attempts, of strengthening it. This is how we explain our assertion that the respect to Mexican natiouality required from ourselves is supported on the Southern interests of the neigh- boring republic, and thus also we justify our sponta- neous zeal for those interests which are tar from being foreign to our own. Fight Eetween Two Democra‘ic Candidaies Jor Congress, at Vicksvarg. Very serious opposition has lately been manifested in North Mississippi, in regard to the nomination by the Denocratic State Convention of Captain Wm. Barksdale, and General Reuben Davis has taken the field against him. Much personal ill-feeling existed between the contestants, and their joint canvass to Vicksburg bad been very exciting, resulting at that place on the lst instant im a regular fight, daring which Barksdale was severely cut several times. Davis was arrested, and underwent an examination cn Saturday morning before the Mayor. We copy from the Vi’litg the following record of the testi- mony of Mr. D. Walker, editor of the Vicksburg | Seitimer, Which sufficiently explains the particulars D. Walker, sworn.—Testifies that he was taking tea at the Warhington Hotel on Friday événtng, | duly ist, and, while eating, Captain Barksdale and Colonel Johnsen came in, and seated themselves by him at the table; witness observed that Barksdale scemed excited; Bark-jale remarked that he was | Nabe or disegucérted; in @ short time Colonel avis vamé in the supper room; they were speaking of Davis, when that gentleman came in and took a feat at the table in trout of Barksdale, he (Davis) remarking pleasantly, as he sat down, that he would face Captain Barksdale while they supped; as Davis came in, witness states that either he or some oue prevent rewarked, ees the General now, or words to that effect; wheff they rose to leave the table, Barksdale said to Davis, who was still sitting, “Colonel Davis, I want to see you after supper;’” Davis replied, * Very well;” Barksdale requested Johnson and witness to walk to hisggroom, which they. did; they had not got seated, when Davis came to Barksdale’s door, and said, “he had come, as requested,” to see Barksdale; Barks- dale reqrested Johnson and witness to be seated, and walked with Davis to the latter’s room ad- joining; they had been absent -but a short time, when witness beard them talking in an angry and excited tene, and suggested to Johnson to go in; witness heard Davis say to Barksdale, “leave my room; don’t talk to me any more upon the subject;” shortly after, Davis came into Barksdale’s room, the latter following ; Davis remarked to witness and Jobnson, ‘I wish you to recollect, gentlemen, that Coptain Barksdale bas challenged me, and I have ayreed to meet him,”’ or words to that effect; Barks- dele said it was “iulse;’? Davis commenced repeating the statement, wlien Barksdale became much exvit- ed; his lips assumed # livid whitene-s—stamped his feot upon the floor, and exclaimed again, it was false; ot that moment witness thinks Davis strack Barkedule with his hand, and they both came to- gether simultaneously; witness and Johnson imme- diately endeavored to separate them—witness did net know at the moment that Davis had a kuife— and immediately caught hold of Davis’ arm, above | the elbow, and pressed it close to his called in Rogan, the proprietor of the h continned to cut at Barksdsie, when caught him, and with hips assistance they were parted ; witness was looking at Davis when he struck—did not sce Barksdale at that moment—it was possible for Barksdale to have struck first with- out witness seeing it, ashis attention was fixed at the time on Davis; the first blow witness saw given come frem Davis, Dr. George P. Crump, sworn —I am the physician in attendance on Captain Burksdale; was called to see him on Friday evening, soon after the difficulty; examined his wounds, numbering ten or eleven; noue serious or likely to prove futal; thinks Captain Barksdale will be up in two or three days, In addition to the testimony taken, Davis made a ate statement, which is thus reported in the hig i— _He (Devis) raid that when Captain Barksdale in- vited him to go to his room, he supposed it was for the purpove of making some arrangements as to the discussion which was to take place between them that evening. But as soon as Captain Barksdale entered his (Davis’) room with him, he (Barksdale) commenced abusing him véolently. He (Davis) thereupon invited Barksdale to ‘ leave his room, as he did not want any difficulty with him.” Barksdale refused to go upon the invitation, bat continued hts violence, and stated that Davis should fight, and challenged bim to do so. Davis immediately ac- cepted the challenge, and said that he would “ fight him witb pistols, at ten paces, in Alabama, immedi- ately beyond the line, opposite Columbus, Mississippi, and thut they would leave for the spot early in the morping.”’ — Barksdale then proposed that they should fight it out at once, which he (Davis) refased to do, as it was dark, but reiterated his acceptance of Captain Barksdale’s challenge, as before related, and proceeded to the room of Barkedale, adjoining, where Mr. Johnson and Mr. Walker were, followed by Barkrdale. When he called upon those gentlemen to bear witness to the fact of Captain Barksdale’s challenge and his acceptance, he thinks he also stated the terms and place of the fight. At this time Barksdale denou»ced Davis’ statement as false, and struck him with his fist, which he (Davis) attempted to ward off, and then he (Davis) opened his pocket knife (which he exhibited) and com- menced cutting Barksdale. The following is Barkedale’s account of the matter: On Jearning that Colonel Davis had sought a cer- tificate of a conversation that occurred between them, he waa somewhat indignant, because it seemed to convey a suspicion, on the part of Davis, that he (B.) would not make the same statement at all times; hence he sought an interview with him, and denounced his conduct. Davis compluined of his de- nunciation, as a grievance, and Barksdale proposed, if he desired satisfaction, to give it him at short notice, opposite this city, in Louisiana, whereas, Davis wanted to rettle it at some future time in Ala- bama, near the city of Columbus. Captain B. ob- jected to this, claiming the right to name time, place, &e., and desiring to settle the difficulty at st period practicable. When they went into the adjoining room, Davis commenced giving a version of the agreement different from the fore- body, and 1; Davis going, and Barksdale pronounced it‘ false” twice, | and @ pertonal collision ensued. He (Barksdale) | hed no weapons whatever about his person, aa agree- ment baving been entéred into between the parties, that ceither giould go armed, Dayis was bound over by th the next term of the Criminal Court of Warren county. Mayor to appear at | Dete Uo on Railroads. New Yous, July 17, 1853. ‘0 THE EDITOR OF THE GERALD. Srr—Itstrikes me that if travellers who meet with unneceseary ¢etention on our railroad lines, would aval themselves «f the opportunity which an inde- pendent press affords, of making public any annoy ing occurrence in this respect, it might lead to ur- rangements and the adoption of measures that would prevent their recurrence as frequently as happens at present, and would contribute to the comfort and ac- commecdation of the travelling portion of the commu- nity. Hence,1am induced to intrude upon your columns, in consequence of the very general later- ruption experienced on Saturday, on the entire line between this city and Rouse’s Poiut, owing to which a large number of persons are now prevented from reaching their several places of destination, where they cannot arrive besore Monday. Vleft yesterday morning, in the Hudson river train, expecting to be at Montreal early in the evening Owing to it being Suturday, I presume, the train was avery heavy ove, both as respects the number of cars and passengers. The result was, that it did net reach ‘Urey till the train for the north, with which it ought to have connected, had left; and the passen- gers learned that there would be no opportunity of proceeding furtber till halfpast six in the eveaing, at which hour, bad there been no delay, those wio were destined for Montreal ought to have been there, and those bound for Ogdensburg well on their way— neither of which places, uader present circumstances, can be reached before Monday. A similar disappointment, to a certain extent, was experienced by the passengers from the north, who were coming this way, the boat on Lake Champlain having got toul of a snag, which ought not to have been in her deck; and by subsequently calling’ at every paltry place on her route, arriving at White- hall too late to connect with the train for Troy, by which they would bave been enabled to reach New York at six o'clock last evening. After considerable delay onthe read from Whitehall, owing to the anser- viceable description of locomotive attached to the cars, they reached Troy about noon; and at three o'clock some of them started on the Hudson River Railroad, with the assurance that they would be in New York by hali-past seven, where they did not ar- rive, however, till ten, having been detained by the state of the road, caused by a shower that had fallen and the number of cars attached to the locomotive. Those of them who took the Harlem line at five o'clock reached New York at eleven. ‘The withdrawal of the cars from the northern line on Sundays, will pecomenelly leas tothe overcrowding of thoce which leave New York on Saturday; but if the effect of this is to detaia travellers Saturday, Sunday and Monday, on a route which may be tra- velled in one day, they had better remaim in the city over Sunday. For ay Ett, as soon as I heard of the detention, I determined to return to New York, and take a fiesh departure on Monday morning by the Harlem line, and probably shall arrive at my jour- ney’s end as early as if I had remained at Troy; but which J might have reached on Saturday night had | on extra train been in readiness to overtake the other when we arrived, about three-quarters of an hour be- hind time. I should think, from the number of pas sengers who left New York when I did on Saturday morning, that between one and two hundred have been prevented from proceenin to their destination. Tbe expense that each individual must incur during this detention cannot be less than five or six dollars; and the hotel keepers on the route will probably pocket a thousand dollars by the operation. It is to be hoped that the directors of the Company will see that, in future, the locomotives are not over- loaded, which, owing to the improper suspension of the running of the carson Sunday, will otherwise be the case, and that some arrangement may be made, by which engers can obtain some refreshment, either atthe depot or on the route, who at present are a description of live stock that is the least cared for by the conductors of rail cars everywhere, as re- spects “ creature comforts.” A Passenger.
