Correspondence. Ausawr, July 26, 1853. ‘The Democratic State Convention—What is the Prospect ? A year ago, or nearly, « State Central Commit- tee was appointed. A month or two thereafter a few ofthe hunker fraction called a meeting at Tam- Taany Hall to organize, elect officers, &c. AD qual number of burners and hunkers met ace to face, after caucusing half a day separately, and par. faking liberally of the good cheer fernished by the estimable hosts, Messrs. Howapd’& Brown. - Being qually divided, neither faction yielded; conse- queatly nothing was accomplished, and the party Proceeded onward until some ten days since, with- out any effective committee. Them a notice again Sppeared in the hunker papers, signed by an Albany hunker, and another of Greene county, calling a meeting of the committee at the Astor House in your city. There were only two barnburners present, and so the hunkers selected their chairman and secretary both from the counties on the Hudson river, without giving the rest of the State a “smell.” Governor Dickinson’s son-in-law presented national resolutions, which drove the two free soilers from the room; they fled as speedily as those of the same sort ran from the Assembly chamber when Holly, of Niagara, called up Dan Taylor's endorsement of Pierse’s Inaugural. A State convention was called, to assemble in Syracuse some time in September, to nominate candi- dates for Comptroller in place of Wright, Secretary in place of Randall, Attorney General in place of Chatfield, Surveyor and Engineer in place of Mo- Alpine, Canal Commissioner in place of Matber, State Prison laspector in place of Angell, Treasurer in place of Welch, and a member of the Court of Appeals. It is understood that Chatfield is not a candidate, being determined to devote himself to the Pacific Rajpoad; that Moai ine will take charge of ‘the Erie RMiroad; and that Mather has already been effectively disposed of. So, for those three offices, some new men will be selected. It is well, known that Wright is extremely anxious for a renomina- tion, and it is equally certain that the barnburners will eudeaver to grutity bim. Randall, the Santa Anna of the administration, wants to remain in the Secretary's office another term, by which time he intends to complete his life of Jef- ferson. One of our city judges, who was treated with so much hospitality by the affable Sec- & few weeks since, will undoubtedly assist in his ion. Then there is Welch, the amiable and harmonious editor of the Buffalo Republic, read out of the ty by the Union, desires another trial against James M. Cook, for treasurer. As the State treasury has supported two, treasurers, and half dozen lawyers in contesting the office during the present term, no impudent rival should stand in the way of the present treasurer for re-election, either by the people or the Court of Appeals—not much matter which, though the later method is rather expensive to the State. Angell will have no opposition, as he is also in office, a burner of the hottest Kind. The barnburners will undoubtedly contest the State Convention. The present Comptroller and Secretary will be re-nominated. Champlin, one of Mather’s perrecutors, and now one of his prose- cutors, is on the slate for Chattield’s office. Wheaton, of Syracuse, one of the Jerry sympathisers, is up for Canal Commissioner, because he was defeated two years since by that honest man Henry Fitzhugh, though John Varnum, who tried to shove Follett off the ticket last_year, demands that the burners shall keep their faith with him. John has got to bea baal now, and stands six feet in his stockings, as neat as the best of them. He did not repudiate the canal contract for nothing—not he. Such isthe programme. Will the farce be suc- cessfully played’ Will none of the riders com- prising the State Sei rome become dismounted in the ring? The my Argus, we see, has al- d Sl geotie upon the Comptroller, threatens to ilate him, and send him back to Old Durip if he ventures upon the hobby-horse in November. ‘There seems to be special hostility against the State financial officer; and ifthe leading bard shell paper thus in advance concerning one of the auti- d soft candidates, will it not “‘ assassinate” of a like kidney who may be placarded for a be- nefit during the November seasen? No doubt of it in the least. The hard shells have called the State Convention; the softs and free soilers will control it, and from present appesrances all around, the whigs stand the best chauce ef electing their State officers, Senate, and House of Assembly, which will ensure the return of William H. Seward to the United States Senate in 1855, to the great discomfiture and peo: pare ot Horatio Seymour, who is on the soft shell slate, with the approbation of John Van Buren, the arch rogue. Heigho! AvBany, July 24, 1853. The Extra Session—Its Objects and its Conse- quences. That the difficulty in arranging the Canal question during the regular session, caused the imperious necessity of a special session of the Legislature, no reasonable person will attempt a denial—that the entire ‘‘hundred days” were squandered in resisting an amendment of the constitution to that effect, is also true; and that political demagogues strained effort after effort, during the whole winter, to keep the canals in the arena of politics, as the great hob- ‘by horse to be used for another quarter century on the hustings, and at the polls of elections. The peo- ple along the lines of the canals had supported can didates for,State officers, in 1551, upon written pledges that the law of that year should be sacredly observ- ed, and its provisions faithfully executed ; but no Sooner had success crowned them, than they con- spired to break down that law, and repudiated their pledges made before election. The people, during the succeeding year, flocked in thousands upon the banks of the ame canals, whither they had been at- tracted_by the eloquent promises and apparently solemn asseverations of a candidate for gubernatoria! honors that his whole heart was bent upon such an amendment of the constitution as would allow the completion of the great public works in the shortest ible time. Though deceived the preceding year y the designs of aspiring demagogues in 1851, the ople were willing to believe in the pledges of 1852. Fimniliating as it is to make the acknowledgment, | they were again deluded, deceived, and their wishes disregarded. The power so potent, so rotten, so cor- iter- objections to the introduction of Senator Van- Reroilte oes petition, A 4 = House of Assembly com now specifically Spee eee in Cenetlesions Chall toleh no longer. The current of opinion had be- come irresistible. Loomis , but put into the hands of West a proposition to amend, entirely dif- ferent from the one sent down from the Senate. Now that they could no longer resist the current, their only method was to turn a somerset, and also ropoge to amend the constitution. How much cre- tit they received and how much they deserved is poly demonstrated in the resolutions finally adopted. Having disposed ef the great question, the Legis- lature proceeded to the consideration of matters which remained unfinished, and others ht in anew. Many good laws have been passed, which are of advantage to almost every county in the State. Among the important public acts wre the Pacific railroad charter, the Niagara ship canal, levying a three-quarter mill tax to prevent State repudiation, to consolidate Brooklyn, Williamsburg, and Flush- ing, the ten hour law, and many others relating both to the people of the city and State, of use and im- portance. The Supply bill occupied the Senate some ten or eleven days. that time was well spent. As it came from the House it contained an unprecedent- ed amount of intended treasury robbery. Though coming from the extraordinarily economical Mr. Loomis, it was filled with donations to almost every individual connected with the departments of govern- ment. The Senate took sp the items, as we saw by the daily debates, with care and deliberation. The treasury was empty, and a resort to di- rect taxation became indispensable. To increase that tax, in order that a horde of political pau- pers might thrust their hands into the trea- sury, or even to dispense State charity to hospitals, dispensaries, or even orphan asylums, was not con- sidered prudemt, under existing circumstances. The people are,mainly indebted to Senators Conger, Pierce and Babcock for saving the State more than one hundred and fifty thousand dollars, which they caused to be stricken from the supply bill as it came from the House. Had the same spirit of economy prevailed during the regu/a: session, a direct tax of oue hundred thousand «7 for the Cayuga marshes, and balf as much more for other local purposes up in Hives ong iment rag «= aon not now be ape sary to im . appropriations mig! easily have been deferred a yor two, until the necessity for direct taxation no longer existed. Upon the whole, though extra sessions are always fey with prejudice, and the late one had origi- vally the same effect upon the masses of the people, still’ we believe they will say with us, that had nothing else been accomplished except the settling for ever the canal policy, of having taken the public works out of the hands of unprincipled political hobby-riders, the time and gue spent were most judicious and satisfactory. Had the entire sixty days been occupied in settling that question, so as to insure no longer agitation, no further contentions, the people would put their laws in their pockets, wil- lingly pay all the expense of the extra session; and say amen toit. We therefore award credit to Go- vernor Seymour for calling the extra session, but we think that himself and his “ constitutional advisers” will be the last set of individuals destined toreap any advantage from it, because they never can shake off an impression which the people have imbibed, that they resisted the measure of compieting the canals, which was adopted, with every legislative and other expedient in their power.

Literary Grievances—The Railroad Delays the HERALD—Suggestions for a Remedy— The Great Western Road in England—Rate of Travel there—A Closer Union of Washington and New York, &c., &c. I like to read the Heraxp, but I cannot afford to pay eighteen dollars a year for it. I might have it for half the money, but I could not get it till the next morning after it is published, and then the news is old; besides, I have'no time to read again till towards evening. The newsmen get the New York papers at about nine o’clock in the evening, and sell them about the hotels for five cents a copy. At that rate the 364 copies of your paper costs us over eighteen dollars a year. Now, if it comes by mail, it costs two cents a copy, and half a cent post- age, just one-half the cost if it is bought in the street; and we can read jt next day,after taking it at8 A.M. out of Uncle Sam’s Post Office. Now look at it. New York and Washington—-the political and commercial centres of the country—are two hundred and forty miles apart—rather less—and we can getour mail carried through and delivered in twenty-four hours! That is the least, so far as morning papers are concerned. 1 have travelled from London to Bristol, a distance of one hundred and twenty miles, in-less than three hours. A friend of mine one day, when I was in London, went over that same railway—the Great Western—from London to Exeter, a distance of one hundred and eighty miles, in exactly three hours and | fifteen minutes; and the odd fifteen minutes were taken up in stopping—giving sixty miies an hour. But we don’t ask that cannon ball speed. Give us halfthat; say thirty miles an hour; and by leaving | New York and Washington simultaneously, at 7 A.. M., the mail would arrive at 3; and at 4 o'clock, P. M., would be in the hands of those who cailed at the Post Office for it. Pray, can’t you drum them up a little? Twice the number of New York papers —and that means the Hrratp—would be taken here, and letters could be answered the same day, and you could get the Wasbington morning papers in time to get.out the news for yours of the next morning. It Dees is intolerable. The whole ground work of the delay lies in that senseless, blind, short sighted policy, or rather no policy, of stopping all railroads each side of a town, for fear the town might lose the benefit of a fifty cent dinner or a two shilling ride in an omnibus. But we have got to come to it. The day is not ten Prin distant when a railroad car can be loaded at Eastport Maine, or thereabouts, and go to the leeve at New Orleans before breaking bulk. English railway builders begun on the same foolish plan we did; and they have learned wisdom long since. A rail car now can leave London and Tun on one continuous track to Aberdeen, almost six hundred miles. I have myself rode on the same seat from Edinburg to London—four hundred ond two miles—and had I chosen to pay first rupt at Albany, induced the successful candidate for Governor to violate bis pledges, as they had succeed- | ed with the State officers a year betore. Instead of | allowing his message to appear as written, recom- mending an amendment of the constitution, as he had promised all the voters from the Hudson to Erie, the regency compelled him to knock the type in pi, and substitute therefor a recommendation to “scratch the bottom and tickle the sides of the canal,” so as to permit the passage of one handred and fifty ton boats. Then the true friends of the canal perceived that the whole State administration was opposed to an amendment of the constitution. Having now the Executive, all the State departments, a large majority in the House of Assembly, there seemed no alternative but quietly®urrender to that ow tive power. The Senate alone stood firm, unmoved, andaunted. Two thirds of the democrats and all the whigs of that body, repudiated and “ spit upon” | every eanal ree short of a final settlement of the pole policy. policy. The whigs being in a minority, of eourse proposed no system. The proposition sub- mitted by Mr. Cooley, at an early part of the session, for a joint committee to present some feasible pian, which passed the Senate, but was rejected in the House, by the casting vote of Wm. H. Ludlow, would have prevented the extra session. It is there- fore to the obstinacy of that man, under the dictation of Mr. Loomis, that the people of this State are in- debted for the late extra session. The constitutional term ex ment of the canal questi ) provision was made even for ordinary repairs. No funds were provided for keeping the wheels of government in motion. ‘The general tund was three hundred tuousand dollars worse than nothing; thousands of dollars of drafts upon the Treasury and the canal fund remained un- liquidated; and the Comptroller was compelled to borrow from certain specific fands to pay members of the Legislative; besides, one of the high State officers had been deliberately charged by the House of Assembly with having committed “ high crimes and misdemeanors’ in the discharge of bis public duties, and those charges, it b ne the Legislature, ptly to investigate. Under such au alarm- and unprecedented state of things, it became the sible duty of the man clothed with the con- stitational erto convene the Legislatare in special session. moment of the was promptly done pon the expiring hundred days. The old“ Albany Regency,” with Marcy atitshead, ‘roswell for its “ brains,” and Flagg and Dix before the curtain, was a litical organiza. which succeeded in keeping the democrat oa in power for more than a quarter of a century. | without any settle- fo] party was united, prosperous and contented. The “Regency,” self-constituted though they Fay pny elementy of honesty and candor within them. They battled against finishing the canals, resisted attempt to open the constitution, placed” Loomis on the defen- give, and Seymour, West and Ludlow in the back ground as a kind of reserved force to be used in case a retreat became The extra session was in several ; the barn- barners new towards ofntion 1k the either the nor hig in class express fare, could have gone in less than four- teen hours. As it was, | went in eighteen. Except London and (ilasgow, there is not a city in England that the cars do not run directly through ; and they are only waiting for the best plan to get fairly matured, to run the cars through London. It will be done by widening Blackfriars bridge for a double railway track, buying out Farringdon street‘ and cutting down Holborn hill. At Birmingham, a city just about the size of Philadelphia, they run the tracks of two railroads up different sides of the town, and on different levels; they finally connected the two roads by running up end to end; but then it was necessary to raise up or lower down all cars not to be unloaded, by a steain engine, to get on the opposite track—about fifty feet difference in height. Then that was found too expensive and slow. all that, and they tore all their works down, built their on a level, at an extra expense of over $2,000,000; and now, from Pristol on the southwest, to York on the northeast, they run right through old The Londen and Northwestern Railw: to get through, got round it, or, rather, ram int city and then backed ovt, and by a wide “ circum. bendibus” got round the town, and thus run from London to Liverpool without unloading. But they vot tired of that in a few years, and now, ata far larger expense than it would have cost them in the first place, they have made a continuous track through the city. Yes, sir; we must come to that here, and the sooner the better. If the steam horse eannot run from Jersey City to Trenton, cross the Delaware, and run right through the upper part of hiladelphia, somewhere about the Northern I. ross the Schuylkill and come right on to V ington, crossing the Susquehanna, and thea running through Ba'timore, or its suburbs, then we must have a railroad that will go ten or twenty miles off from th plock-the-road places, and then wi rnn between the two cities between six o'clock in the morning and one in the afternoon. Washington must bend to the same necessity. and have a treck threngh, and a bridge across the Poto- mac, and then you may ride from New York to Par- kersburg—after that road is built—without chang- ing cars or unloading mails. If New York were not on anisland, the Boston Philadelphia people would demand that a railroad should go through “by daylight,” and undoubtedly you Gothamites would be perfectly willing to grant it, without being afraid of being ruined by the cars ‘carrying the trade out of the way.’ Depend on it, sir, that that chain of railroads Setween Boston and New York and the great Southwest, that first getsa route through with few or no breaks in it, will carry off the mail and assenger traffic. That may be New York, Easton, Pittsburg, Marietta, Louisville and Memphis ; or it may be Philadelphia, Cumberland, Parkersburgh, Lexington and Nashville ; or Baltimore, Washing- ton, Charlottesville, Lynchburg, Knoxville, Chat- tanooga, Jackson, Miss., and New Orleans. Jf this last route ia judiciously laid down it will carry off the ; but let there be no breaks in the line. Now, sir, your powerfal aid to stir up the steam horse, bin f us the Heraup by four, or even six P. M., by , and I'll subscribe for it. Yous, WAsmINGTONLAN, ment. of Lord John Russa reply & verbatim report honorable member occasion:— uestion I wish to refer to a the member for \t city of London, on Monday, in reference to a circular des- ‘tch of Count Nesselrode’s which arrived that day. then mentioned that in that despatch it was stated Pieg hy daage pe of Turkish ports by the com- bined fleets of England and France, was considered by Russia as a naval ouupetion, snalegeenls charac- ter to the military occuyation of the principalities by the Russian army. I also said, that in that despat it was stated that,when that complete satisfaction was granted to Russia, by the Porte, which was her due, and when the pressure of two maritime powers had ceased, then the Emperor would withdraw his forces to his own limits. ¢ noble Lord on that occasion, while he ray justly felt it his dnty to question the | propriety of | the first allegation that I alluded | to, namely, that the operations of the combined | fleets was a naval ecu) the domin- ions of the Sultan, said, with regard to the | second statement, that his impression was that | I was not authorized in the interpretation I put on the circular despatch. It has since been stated in | another place, by a colleague of the noble lord’s, that | that observation of his was inadvertently made. It | was a pardonable inadvertence, for the document | had only just arrived; but the Secretary of State, in | another place, took the opportunity on that occasion | of declaring that it was the intention of her majesty’s | ministers not to accede ta, tie conditions which were | pressed in that despatch in eweh a peremptory man- ner, and that they would not for a moment, in their management of these capa proceedings, admit | as a primary condition, that the combined fleets of England and France should leave the ports alluded | to. Assuming asI do that these negotiations are | now only formally, and not apres pursued—as- suming that they bave arrived at what is called a | dead lock—and believing, as I do, that it would be a | great advantage to the public service, in that case, that there should be a discussion on this important | question in both houses of Parliament—(hear, | hear)—I wish, therefore, to know if the noble lord | has any objection to fix a day on which the honora- | ble member for Aylesbury (Mr. Layard) may bring forward the question in the House of Commoms. (Hear, hear.) Lord J. Russe11—In answering the right honora- | ble gentleman, I must refer to the circumstances of | the answer given by me on a former day. The right | honorable gentleman then asked me certain ques- tions with respect to a circular despatch which had then only recently reached the government. I had then only had the opportunity of readin it ina newspaper in a very cursory manner, and I had not made myself See letely master of its contents. I therefore answered the ape honorable gentleman with regard to my im ion of the interpretation to | be put on that part of the document which said that ' the Russian troops would be removéd from the prin- cipalities when the pressure put by the presence of the combined fleets in the ish ports had been taken off, by saying thatI could not believe it was | intended by the Russian government to make that the condition of the evacuation of the principalities, I said so, not only from not perceiving it quite distinctly laid ‘down in the paper, but from thinking it impossible that two things so totally un- like should be puton a par, or that the Russian go- vernment should deem themselves at all justified in | demanding that the fleets of the English and French should leave the Turkish waters before they evacu- ated the principalities—because in the one case the English and French fleots were in the waters of an allied power, and were there, not for the purpose of patting any pate on that power, or of injuriag it any way, but only to be ready in case that power should feel itself justified in for the assistance of its allies on the invasion of its territory. In the other case, a of a4 oct coornae by eee sian troops of prin: ities belonging ‘urkey, could see no Fb atid or comparison between them, and I could not think that a person of the ope: rience and sagacity of Count Neaselrode could affix his signature to a document declaring that that was the determination of the Russian govern- | ment. Admitting, then, that the words bore on the face of them the interpretation which the right hon. gentleman gave to them,I come to the question which he has just asked me. I have to state that he is mistaken in his supposition that the negotiations on this subject have come to a dead lock. (Hear, hear.) On the contrary, both the English and French governments have considered that there are propositions which might be acceded to by both Rus- sia and Turkey, which might Sormeqaan be the means of obtaining a pacific termination for this un- fortunate occurrence. (Hear, hear.) Whether or not these hopes may be justified, cannot be known immediately; it must take some time before we can learn from 8t. Petersburg what is the view taken of any mode of adjustment which England, France, or Austria may While such is the state of the negotiations, the honourable member should bring his motion be- fore the House. (Hear.) Law Est: the Twenty-first Ward in the City of New York.

(From the London News. fin ht On Thursday the new of Mexi- we co, and on the same day Sir Roderick Murchison, the authority of ex-President Arista, who sat at side, informed Bntish le, the at Gloucester, that in Mexico those who fly from free trade in England could purchase infinity of the best land in world at three-half- pence an acre. On iter the frequent threats he has uttered to cast E Mexico? The soil is exuberant—in some places almost beyond jeer f pean cance tion ; the mate is both propitious and delightful ; Mexico can | = produce abundantly and cheaply nearly all Staples of life and subsistence; its situation is nearly untivalled on the {ace of the earth, for, like another Egypt, it lies midway between Europe and Asia; from either ocean, the Atlantic or Pacific, it is ac- cessible ; and above all Mexico is not wanting in population or in capital, for by the popula- ion returns lately issued, it contains, we see, nearly eight millions of people, and mines, long un- profitable under English and distant management, are now becoming amply remunerative in the hands of native and home conductors, Whence, then, this worthlessness of land in Mexco? Other causes there are, of course; but one great reason is clearly in its commercial poaley, Though lew p the tariff just issued is in some joints bet- ter and wiser than the rapid succession of tariffs that have preceded it—for with every new President there seems to be a new tariff—no man can read that document without seeing that under such a system as it discloses land can never be worth much in Mexi- co. Itis perverse far beyond the ordinary pervergi- ties of protection. Nature has given Mexico evel element of agricultural greatness; there is scarcely any production her teeming soil cannot grow in super- abundance. But hunaan policy, in defiance of nature, has resolved to make Mexico a manufacturing coun- try, and says Puebla shall rival Manchester. And for this purpose—tu protect manufactures which have no proper supply of mechanical power, and are without Milled labor—the new tariff still lays enormous duties on cotton yarn and cotton goods, still pro- | hibits the raw materials both of life and of the fabries | Mexico essays to make, still jealously excludes (for the smuggler’s benefit along its 10,000 miles of coast) sugar, spirits, rice, coffee, wax, salt, tallow, tobacco, soap, lard, lumber, boots, shoes, clothing, and all ce- real grains—and even blankets and coverlids. Mexico does not, even under such a system, grow cotton suf- ficient for its own protected manufactures; but, havipg protected them, it next protects the growth of cotton, by imposing duties which raise the price at Puebla to more than double what it is at New Or- leans. It declares its ports open to all foreign com- merce; but as the new tariff continues the old port chee, what it opens with one hand it closes with another. The consequence of this policy is, that the forei; trade ot Mexico is declining, the imports are de- clining, the exports are declining, the customs reve- nue is declining, internal industry there is little or none; but in no country probably is direct taxation so heavy and so high. In the other continent of America there is a country in some respects less favorably situated than Mexico, with about the same population, scattered, however, over a far larger surface, which has as consistently pursued a free trade system as Mexico has a protective policy. Just compare Brazil—for it is of Brazil we speak— with Mexico. Brazil has had its political dif- ficulties to contend against as well as Mexico. It has bad its pronwnciamentos, its revolutions, its civil wars, its changes of chiefs and of consti- tutions; but it has overcome all its dangers, has consolidated its strength, and has now acquired a powerful poset amongst nations. And why? Be- this announcement there was | from the British Lion, forgetful of | an un- country, Whence this worthlessness of land | | was subseq: cause it always fostered, encouraged and pro- moted foreign commerce. Under no pretence or excuse has it ever protected anything; it has kept down im, duties to the lowest possible pitch; it has equally left agriculture and trade to take care of themselves; and so well have they done that, that now, by means of their rity, Brazil almost rivals the United States in the rapidity of i's mate- rial developement. Trade is rapidly increasing; the production of coffee and sugar is yearly aug- menting; its ports are crowded with foreign ships and mercantile firms; under every vicissitude its credit has been maintained; its finances are flourish- ing; it hasa large annual surplus; it has been able to reduce the interest on its debt; and in a short time it will bein a ition to lower its tariff. With Brazil English trade is worth some seven or eight millions sterling a year; with Mexico it is now be- neath one. If Spanish pride would only take a les- son from Portuguese success, the fortunes of Mexico might perhaps yet be restored, and its independence as fi rly established as that of Brazil. If this new tariff is a specimen of what exile and adversity have taught Santa Anna, he has not learnt much during his expatriation. We are not at all disposed to depreciate the immense difficulties that surround him, or to exaggerate his imputed defects of character ; but, whilst we recognize in some of his measures good tendencies, he is still, it is clear, wrapt up in self. He is gratitying his vindictiveness and spite by punishing all who took an active part in concluding a necessary and indispensable peace with the United States ; he is encouraging another rupture with that powerful and unscrupulons neigh- bor, by indulging in boundary disputes and quarrels with it; and, by philandering with the court of Spain, he is mixing Mexico up in the future troubles that are in store for Cuba. ‘ing for support on @ weaithy church, and on a merce’ army, Santa Anna seems to us only pursuing his old policy in this, his new career. Suspicions are entertained that Santa Anna would not greatly object to see the authority of the Spanish monarchy in some way or other restored in Mexico : but, though the Court of Madrid has recently grati- fied his vanity with an order and a decoration—and there is no saying to what absurd lengths Spanish Pee will carry its victims—this suspicion is proba- bly, for the present at least, unfounded. That Santa Anna aims at some external combination against the United States, is, however, almost certain; but the likelier form it will take is thought to be an_ alliance, offensive and defensive, of Mexico and the various States of Central America, and perhaps with Spain, to preserve their independ- ence and that of the Gulf of Mexico, and to prevent the annexation of Cuba. In such a scheme there is, however, more super-subtlety than strength; and it will, if ever carried out, be far more likely to recipitate than to avert the catastrophe it appre- hends. Were Mexico, under a system of commercial freedom, carrying on a great and prosperous trade with England and Europe—were its financial cxedit in London and Paris high, asa great trade would soon make it—were its ports full of British capital, and our interest in its welfare deep and strong, how different would the position of Mexico in the world be. Then its independence would be a great politi- cal fact, for the maintenance of which we might take some care and trouble. But what can we do for a country that rejects our trade, and with a population nearly 8,000,000, only imports some 400,900/. worth of British goods? FALLING OF AN Anct—Frvx Persons [nsurep.— This morning abont 10 o'clock an arch in the new building being erected by the Newark Malleable Iron Company gave way, and five masons and labor- ers engaged about it were Vi pche down among the timbers and bricks. When rescued from the rubbish it was found that no lives had been lost, though some are so badly injared that they are not expected tolive. The arch was over a small room, intended to be fire-proof, in the sontheastern corner of the building. It was sprung at about the height of eight feet from the ground, there being in addition under it an excavation of several feet for the founda- tion of the walls. It was very flat, and rested on the eastern side wall of the building and a di pn wall, which were bound together by cross bars, attached to iron band anchors. The struc:ure appeared to be secure; but the fault in its arrangement which occa- sioned the accident, was probably the location of the anchors below the point where the lateral pressure of the arch was greatest. This allowed the side walls to give way outwardly, and the arch, which was very heavy, immediately fell upon the persons which were underneath it. The names of the per- sons injured are as folluws:- William Lyon, a contnaion of the right temple, proba- bly a fracture of the rku!l and ether injuries, It is not ez pected that he will recover. Michael Owens, bruises upon the body, the neverest of which i+ vpon the lower part of the abdomen=snot con: sisered dangerous. Williem ‘renor, bruised upon the hend and foot. William Keith, bruised upon the foot — Jacobus, an apprentice boy, bruised upon the head and in other places, but not severely The wounded persons were immediately taken to their respective residences, except Lyon, who was conveyed to a neighbor's, but has since been re- moved. Marshal Francisco assisted in this matter. Dr. J. H. Clark was called, and has the care of the patients. Drs. Darcy and Shechan were also in at- tendance, and rendered assistance. It was a sub- ject of considerable remark at the time that the city was without a hospital, where persons in like cir- cumstances could be removed, and where surgical instruments and medicines'could be procured with- out delay. As such accidents will occur, besides the necessities arising from disease, it is worth the at- tention Of our authorities to give this oft-mooted matter some consideration—Newark Aclvertiser, August 1.

Contracts have been entered into for the constrac- tion of this road from Philipsburg to Belvidere, com- prising the entire grading and masonry. As regards fading, it is made easy by the fact that the road fol- lows the bank of the Delaware river, xening mostly along the bill side, and the work will be about the same kind as on that portion of the road lying below Philipsburg. Limestone of a loose grain, and con- venient for masonry, is the principal rock encoun- tered, and of this the heaviest cutting is in section forty, below the rift, where a high point of rock isto be cut pirvogh, and a deep valley to be crossed, the latter requiring an embankment of about 90,000 cu- bic yards. This road has already been of great be- nefit to the valley of the Delaware, and when finished to Belvidere, open an avenue to market for the et! of an important section of country, supply- ig the northern part of New Jersey with a means of SHproask to Philadelphia, of which it isas yet desti- tute.
