Some six hundred people sat down to dinner, and the boxes were filled with as many ladies. Charles O'Conor, Esq., presided, and speeches were made by Mesers. Mitchel, Meagher, O'Gorman and Smyth. Mr. Hobert Emmet made an explanation relative to the funds of the Irish Direct- ory. We give a full report. Prior to the transaction of-eny business of impor- fance in Congress yesterday, the deathof Senator Atherton, of New Hampshire, was announced, ani after the pronunciation of glowing enlogies, and the adoption of the customary mutes of respect, both houses adjourned. How swiftly our most eminent mMenare peesing away. Mr. Norris remarked that even within the last four years no less than nine of the most distinguished memters of the Senate had been followed to the grave, end, we may add, there have been four times that number, perhaps equa'ly great, culled from other stations of soviety. Let us hope that their works will be cherished and their Patriotic examples followed by those who may be selected to fii their places in the councils of the na- tion. Inthe House, early.in the day, Senor Galle- gos, the delegate from New Mexico, was sworn in, and notice was given of the intention of ex Governor Lane to contest his seat. The Chairman of the Committee of Ways and Means reported several ap- propriation and Ceficiency bills, most if not all of which, it is intimated by our special correspondent, ‘were drawn up at the departments. The informetion furnished by our special Wash- ington correspondents will be found very interest ing. The Neval Committee..cf the House, it is stated, will to-day report a bill appropriating three millions of doliavs to defray the expense of construct- ing six first claes steam frigates, the same to be built in accordance with the recommendations of the Secre- tary of the Navy. It is understood that this measure will be followed up with such provisions for a tho- rough reorgauization of the whole naval system as will place the service in the most complete order. There seems to.be considerable anxiety to ascertain what disposition the House will make of the resolu- tion making the Assistant Secretary of the Treasury 3 Presidential appointment. Actiox will doubtless be had on the subject today, and to morrow our readers will know all atont it. A war is waging among the cemocrats of Veraont, in imitation of the recent flare-up in the ranks in this State. The free soilers are terribly indignant becaas2 a Governor and Lieutenant-Governor ofsthe old line Gemocratic school were elected. Dates from Havana to the 14th instant announce tha Mr. Rolph, nephew and Secretary 49 Consul Clayton, expired from an attac® of yellow fever four days previously. Qur Cousul had directed the at. tenticn of the new Captain-Gcneral to the case of the turee American seamen.who kave been 80 loxg con- finedon a vague and groundless charze of having been ergaged in the elavs trace. The letter of our ©orrespondent embraces all the Cavan new: of im- portance, and will be found iuterssting. Privaso advices from Buenos Ayres to the 15th.of Octcber declare that such dissatisfaction existed against the government of President Obligais throughont the provinees, and as the opposition were decidedly in the majority, it wes predicted that another revolution would tae place in the course of a few months.

The supposition was that she hod,cither broken up or drifted t) sea. Flour again advanced vesterday from 64 cots to 12) cents per barrel, while grain was about the same, Freights were firmer, and engagements were made to Liverpool at enhanced rates. The trial of the Ninth ward rioters was resamed in the Court of General SeRsions yesterdey, and the testimony elicited wil] be found fally reported in enother part of this paper. A public missionary meeting was held last evening ig St. Bartholomew's church. The Right Rev. Pro- vislopal Bishop presided, and the Rev. Mr. Potter, Mr. Bradish and others, spoke on the subject of do- mestlo miasions, with special reference to California Bishop Kipp—who is about to depart on this ina portant misslon—spoke earnestly of hia futare da ties. His address was short, o8 he was unwell, ond exauntea by the ueowery prepazationg for big long voyage. A collection was taken up in ald of the fands of the Domestic Comittee. Tke third lectare of Mr. Bourcicault wa 4 delivered last evening to a crowed house. Th rights and wrongs of women was the subject. Our report is crowded out till to-norrow. Vetoes werd abun lant 'n the Coramon Council last evening, as wil! be scen by the official reports in another column. Messayes were received fron the Mayor, in which he announce% the intention of with holding his signature from te measures authorising the Menbattar Railroad Company to lay a track fo Brondway, providing for the en!argement of Battery plece, and the erection of a bell tower in Fifty- etghth street, near Broadway, and instracting the Comptrotier to withdraw the prosecution of the sit for sinking a block at pier 35. As the session is so nearat an end it is probable that the Council will lose no further time, but pass the Broadway railroad project by a two-thirds vote, and thus make it a law despite the disapproval of the Mayor. Saow commenced falling in this vicinity yester- day aftercon, and so continued until three o'clock this morning, at which time it was about thres inches in depth. Telegraphic despatches announce thst the weather was very cold; and snow storms pre- vailed in various sections of the Norch and West. Necessity compels us to omit, in connection with macy columns of local and miscellaneous reading, notices of the perfurmances at the theatres and other places of amusement Jast evening. The advertise. ments will furnish all information requisite concern- ing the attractions offered at the different establish- ments to-night. Highiy eaeomeees from Mexico-- The Revo= lutionizing of its Territory and the Impe- rializlug of its Government. The importance of the last iatelligence received from Mexico, may be inferred from the space which we devote to its publi; cation today. Interesting as is generally the news from the neighboring republic—there has not beea an epoch since the Mexican war when there have been such vitally important events transpiring there as those of which Mexi- co is now the theatre. That our readers may thoroughly comprehend what is-passing in that distracted country, we give to-day full and de- tailed accounts of the great movements which are now in progress. The topic which might at first appear to in- terest these United States in the highest degree, is certainly the recent fillibestering movement which has lately taken place in Lower Cali- fornia. And yet, strange as it may appear, the invasion of La Paz occupies but a secondary position in the public mind of Mexico. The newepapers of the capital chronicled the fact with such details as had reached them, and commented on ‘the subject with some exhibition of feeling, but still with far less acrimony than might have been ex- pected. The general idea seems to be that the capture of La Paz was-but a primary step to- wards the accomplishment ot what is known to be the chief object of the invaders, namely, the revolutionizing of the State of Sonora. One of the Mexican journels affirms that no more poltic course could have been pursued to a/\oin that object: for the reasons that La Paz is adjacent to Guay amas, the chieftown of Sonora —the Mexican population in Lower California is extremely sparse, and the governmentxcannot easily concentrate on that point a force sufficient to overpower the invaders. The official journal —the government organ of Mexico—avails itself of the event to reiterate and give point to the political sentiment which has recently been proclaimed in that region, that the only mode for the Spanish race in America to escape ex- tinction or absorption by the Anglo-American is an offensive and defensive alliance between Spain and her ancient colonies. A more important feature of the news both to us and to Mexico is the project now ia course of execution there, for converting that nominal republic into an avowed and ab- solute monarchy, and for perpetuating and strengthening the irresponsible powers which Santa Anna now exercises, by constituting him Captain General of Mexico. Up to this time the coup d'état by which this change-of affairs is being brought about has been bloodless; aud this fact constitutes the only feature of dissimi- larity between it an@ Louis Napoleon’. On being installed President of the republic in April last, Santa Anna agreed to and accepted the terms of the military convention by which ke was re-called from henishment. Among the provisions of that platform was one providing fora congress of the naticn in one year from that time. To assure the continuance of his dictator- ship, which might have -been seriously eadan- gered, had such a measure been realized, Santa Agza determined, like big great European proto- typo, to anticipate the termination of his autho rity as President, and to elevate himself toa more secure and distinguished position. For this purpose he convoked a convention of military men, favored citizens and clergy, in Guadalajara on the 17th of November. They adopted an act —to be subsequently ratified hy the nation—in- vesting Santa Anna with unlimited powers ae Captain General of Mexico, with authority, at his death or other sooner vacation, to nominate his successor. We give a translation of this act imperializ- ing Mexieo in another colamn. A number of the States,cities, and corporetions have already vofficially communicated their adhesion , and on che first an@ second of December the civil and military autkorities of the capital recognized it, agd announced their adhesion by proclamation to the citizens. Santa Anna received and ac- kmewledged, ic a suitable speceb, the homage tenéered to, him by the city corporation; and the Mayor issued a manifesto directing the inbab'tants to <ecorate and illuminate their hougec in honor of the great event. One of the Stetes, in communicating its act of adbe- sion, proposed, as an amendment to the original proposition, that Santa Anna receive the title of Grand Elector of Mexico, High Admiral, Marshal Generel of the Mexican Armies, and Most Serene Highnese. It was rumored that the celebration was to toke place on the 19th Desember; so that Santis Anna may have beca yesterday duly installed in his new rank and hailed :»y the tkle of Antonio Primero. To we this change in the government of Mexico brings nowbing strange or unexpected. Feom intelligence derived through undoubted sources, we had several months ago fore- seen and foxetold whet has now taken place. We were au courant of the diplomatic ar- rangements to carry out this object, which for some time past have receined the at- tention of the governments of Fraveg, Eogland and Spain. We distinetly stated at such a project was on foot, and would eon be rea)'zed. General Almonte, the Mexicag Min- ister to Washington, tock great pains to as eure us that we were in error, and favored us with a communication, some months ago, deny- ing in explicit terms that there was any trath in the giatement we had made as to Santa Apna’s designe. We published his diplomat note, but we re-aflirmed our statement, and the result shows Low corvest our iafoymatign aud deductions were, and how little General Al- monte knew of the designs of his chief. The imperialization ot Mexico is but the first act of a grand drama constructed by European diplomatists, and to be enacted on the North American continent. The second act changes the scene from Mexico to Canada, where it ap- pears the cousim of her Britannic Majesty. Prince George of Cambridge, is to be installed in due course of time as Viceroy of the British North American Provinces. There seems to be, therefore, a mighty contest pending in this hemisphere between the principles of monarchy and conservatism on the one side, and those of progress and republicanism on the other. The struggle may come as soon as destiny has or- dained. We have no fear for the issue. That ‘extempore expedition of American filibusteros against two of the Mexican States has already gravely disarranged the plans of the campaign. In this we see the invincible stride of democracy, which is spreading over and must eventually envelope this continent at least ; and it proves how vain it is to attempt to stem it by such feeble and impotent barriers as crowns and titles, The womb of time is big with stirring events, not only for Europe but for the New World. We have marked the signs, and await the issue with calm confidence. Let it come. Ovr Exctusive News or THe Great Evrorean Treaty.—We observe that the Express anda Canadian journal affect to disbelieve our state- ment that atreaty has been entered into be- tween France and England, for the protection of Turkey against Russia. Itis not to be expected that people living in the midst of Canadian snow-drifts should know anything about the rest of the world. The other disbeliever, the Express, has, ever since its establishment, re- lied entirely on us for news; it never yet had an important item of intelligence that it did not steal. With regard to home news, it deals in this wise:—the Heratp is bought early in the morning, by the editor of the Express, for two cents; its Washington letters and other ex- clusive information are carefully cut out and condensed; and the whole appears in a para- graph under the telegraphic head, in the evening edition of the Express. It adheres so scrupu- lously to this judicious, system, that when our correspondents have fallen into an error, which they corrected next day, the “telegraphic” cor- respondent of the second edition of the Express invariably committed the error in their wake and corrected it with equal fidelity. Why can’t the Eapress follow the same rule with regard to the European news? Why couldn’t it pub- lish special mesages by transatlantic telegraph from London, and so contrive to steal our news, instead of making itself ridiculous by devying its authenticity? The public would never notice the hoax. The treaty, the execution of which we an- nounced, was-executed. It is specially mention- ed by our own correspondents, by those of the London press, and by that of the Courier and Enquirer. We notice a difference in the dates assigned by some of these authorities ; some as- serting that it was executed on the 18th and others on the 28th of November. It is possible to conciliate these-apparently conflicting state- ments, by supposing that the treaty was agreed to on the 18th and signed on the 28th. Canryer IxconsisTencies.—We have received a letter from Washington on various subjects. It is too long for publication, and contains some matters which it might not be just to all parties to publish without further proof. We note however, two points about which we will ask a question. Perhapssome impertinent member of Congress may inquire, and find out the truth. Is it true, that although Congress at last ses- sion made no appropriation for the payment of the two thousand dollars additione! salary, (be- sides the six thousand heretofore allowed, )grant- ed last session to each member of the Cabinet ; and although the constitution of the United States declares that ‘no money shall be drawn from the Treasury but in consequence of ap- propriations made by law,” &c., (sec. 9, Art. 1,) yet the Secretary of the Treasury has paid tLe additional salaries out of a fund appropri- ated for another object? Will any one find out the truth of this matter ? Secondly—Is it true that land warrants to a large amount have been granted for military services in what is called the Aroostook War? It is worth inquiring who is responsible for this last act, as well as for the violation of the constitution involved in the first. Do Cabinet officers forget there is such’a procedure as im- peachment? Kew Guana fslands Discovered. Some few wonths ago we noticed that a certain eater: prising young merchaart, who is connected wi ba liae of packet ships to the Pacific Osean, and whe has his office at or near the foot of Wall street, slearsd several.ships and barks for s portin thedrazils anda market. At the time we were inclined to have a doubt as to the destina- tion of these vessels, ard desired to know what pew en- | terprise was a By inquiry ws l:arned that one of thore versele, (the Inca,) carried out some fifty men over and above her crew, and that she also took on beard cannon and rmailarms, with emple quantities of amma vition.

THE REVOLT ON BOARD THE SHIP JAMES WRIGHT— DEATH OF MR. SIMPSON, THE FIRST MATE. It will be recollected that Joseph Mathews and four otbers of the crew of the ship James Wright were ar- rested pome short time since, and indicted by the Grand Jury of the United States Circuit Court for a revolt and assault on Mr. Shadvisk Simpson, the first mate of that vessel, while lying at Quarantine. Simpson died at his residence, No. 103 Hamersley street, on Sunfay morning, ‘and the four prisoners will now probably be held for homicide; but as the affray occurred within the juris- diction of this Etate the case will not come within United States Court, but law of this State. facta in the care are, simply, that the ship was at Quarantine, ready for tea, on the 4th cf November, and the crew coming on board ‘under the ixfluence of liquor, were not exactly fitted to receive the orders of the mate, whe dirested them to weigh anchor. They refused to comply, and a melee eneued, ard Mr. Simpson received a severe beating, lab in the back of the head, inflicted with « ge knife, as alleged by the sailor Mathews, aided and betted by veveral ‘others. ‘The pilot of the ship witnessed the sfirsy, and is, we understand, the cooly person who did except those a party concerned. Mathews and his four sbipmates were arrested for the revol« and assault, and have since that time been kept in jail. Yesterday Corover O'Donveli wan called to hold an inquest on the body of deceased. A post-mortem examination was made, and the evidence ac duced by the physicians went to show conclusively that death was procuced by the injary in- filcted with the kwite.
