PROMOTIONS IN THE ARMY. On the 4th of August Congress passed an act authorizing the promotion of non-commissioned offi- ers in the army, and the War Department has just issved an order, dated on the 4th inst., direcflag how the selections from the ranks shall be mad>, One-fourth of the vacancies occurring annually are ‘to be filled from the non-commissioned grades. The eegulations provide for promotions as a reward for meritorious services ; but in time of peace opporta. nities to render such services are rare, and the quati- fications required of candidates are such that few in the ranks can hope for the desired elevation. Each eandidate must be physically sound, and of good moral habits, and likewise pass muster before a board of offi ers in arithmetic, geometry, geography, astronomy, history, the constitution and government of our country, and the general principles which regulate international intercourse. We are not familiar with the mental calibre of the non-commis sloned officers, but if it comes up to the standanl of the War Dopartmen: it is a pity the law pro- viding for promotions from the ranks had not been enscted half a century ago. THE FIRST SNO¥. Our telegraphic despatches atate that considerable quantities of enow have fallen in the western part of Maarachusetts, New Hampsbire and Canada. LATER FROM HAVANA, _ By the arrival of the Cahawba yesterday we have from Havana to the 12th instant. The health of the city continued good, and business was quite active. All the general news of interest may be found in the letters of our correspondents, pub- lished in another column. AFFAIRS IN THE CITY. ‘The jary in the case of James Smith, tried in the Court of Oyer and Torminer on a charge of murder, yesterday rendered a verdict of manslaughter in the second degree; whereupon the Court sentenced the culprit to seven years confinement in the State trieved the fortunes of his country, nor his own popularity when oncedest. Although ten times the supreme executive officer of Mexico, his tenure of office has in nearly every instance ben only for 8, few months,and never for two years ; his power has always.been ephemeral, his acts puerile,and his expulsion by hostile violence. Events over which he had no control have al- ways recalled him from banishment, and events which be was mainly instrumental in producing have forced him back inte.exile. He has been the creature and sport of fortune, the natural offspring of a country alternately in revolution and repose, rising and falling with every politi- cal billow, drifting into port on some favorable breeze, or driven to sea by seme storm of his own creating. It might reasonably be supposed that, as the head of a party, he has been elevated and de- pressed witk his friends; but the trath is, he never had a party, and very few personal ad- herents. Joining every party in turn, or caressing every prominent man as spited his purpose, he has cvinced his indifference to every principle or policy. He has been in tavor of a federal government, of a central, and of a monarchy; he has been for reforms the moat radical, and again for conservative dov- trines the most Castilien; he lias been for the government of the army, the government of the States, the government of the people, and the government of a dictator. He has been a friend of the church party, to change agai: into an advocate for sequestrating its enormous wealth—f-deralist, centralist, puro, moderadu, polka, monarehi:-t—for every principle, for every cry, for every man, and nothing long for anything. With such versutility in his opin- ions, he ought at least to be liberal in his judg- ment and censure of others who presume to differ with him. But, on the contrary, he is the most intolerant of rulers, and the most ex- acting of masters. He distrusts all who doubt the infalljbility of his convictions, and, without apy regard for services, however long tried or meritorious, he imprisons or exiles by scores. It cannot, therefore, be surprising that his friends are few, and his friendship questioned by all. Had there ever been any kind of party acting in concert, Santa Anna could not so often have imposed on his countrymen. Party lines, however, on important priociples, have never been drawn in Mexico; but factions with various shades of opinion have always pre- vailed. In such a state of affsirs, an unpopular man may often be in the ascendant, but with- out the power, unless by tle aid of great talents, to retain his elevation—and such has been the fortune or misfortune of Santa Anas, That our estimate of the character of this man is not hastily formed, can easily be t-sted by referring to all the important events in kis life. But, as this catalogue would be too long, and of doubtfal interest, the most prominent for several years past will suffice. He was in exile on the breaking out of the war with the United States, where he was forced to remain until every other general was vanquished by the American arms. It was then only that Presi- dent Poik permitted his return to Mexico, for the purpose of making a treaty of peace. But, whenever he has regained power, his good for- tane always fails him; therefore, disregarding the hopes he had held out to us, he took the command ofthe army at San Luis, which others without his assistance had raised and equipped. With that army he was defeated at Buena Vista. Immediately he left it in haste and disgust to return to the capital. Again he refused all pa- cifie overtures; as again the energy of others had restored the ranks and discipline of the army with which he might dofend the heights of Cerro Gordo. Defeated onée more, and deserting, as usual, his beaten troops, he fled alone across the country to Orisava, where he remained in des- pair until another army had been collected for him With which to protect the city of Mexico Incapacity characterised all his acts, both mili. tary and civil, in the campaign of the valley, where once more he fled, and finaliy left the country under ap American escort. He might on entering, have secured peace and a favorable treaty; but he preferred war, and thoreby wrovged his country. Grave charges for mis. conduct were preferred against him, and he was ordered before a coyrt martial, Byt he did not The Almshouse Governors held their regular ‘meeting yesterday afternoon, when the reports from the various institutions were read, showing that the momber of persons ander their charge on 14th inst, was 5,587. Vesterday Archibsld Irvin, another victim of the eowdyiam which infosts our city, died at Bellevue Hospital of wounds alleged to hsve been inflictei by one Hagh Darrow, The coronor’s jury retarned as verdict implicating Darrow, and the police officers have made diligent soareh for him, but so far with out success. STATE OF THE MARKETS. Common grades of State flour were easier yester day, while extra brands were firmer. Wheat was in light stock, and sales iimited. A small lot of Southern red brought 155¢. Corn was firmer, with sales at 79c.a 80c. Mees pork sold freely at $12 12 a $12 25, chiefly at the first Agures. Cotton has ad- vanced jc. to jc. per Ib. since the receipt of the Bal- tic’s news.

Aftergm sbeence o four years, during | wats—Loox Smanr—According to Mr. Galliar Conrmventat Covenrss or Ausnican Dirto- which Mexioo en’o) ed pace and repose under the { det, the Paris correspondent of the Courrier des nifild admin ' rations of Herrera and Arista, fac- ' tlous chies' ains a d « factious Congress induced the Dattey tores'gn. Bu. these ch efs were unadle to ,uide the storm hey had raised. Peey 'e- | emme jealous of ea:h other, and quarrclted at tthe very time when harmony among them was most important to prevent the recall of Santa Ahna,whon they ail had epposed for many yeere, Afew men, however, withoat the con- currence of the army or the people managed to } have him recalled. A c mmitt-e waited on “him at Havana to escort him to Ve a Cruz ~and the capital; but even that committee were in part inimical to tim. Such is one of the phases of Mexican character, se difficult for us to understand. On his return from exile he made the most extravagant promise-, and held out the most dazzling hopes. He declared all his animosities were buried in tie past, while for the future the Mexicans should be united to restrain the gra:ping hand of the republic of the North. The only principle he procla’med was hatred to the Americans, and the integrity of Mexican territory against further dismem- berment, Anarmy wae soon raised to a war standard to fight the Yankees if they desired fresh quarrel. How soon was that army to be employed in crushing every vestige of liberty in Mexico! How soon was it to be paid in American gold for Mexican territory, scid to this ssme republic ef the North! Ina few mentbs be has sent more prominent men into exile—he has ordered more military executions for political offences—he has ruined the pro- perty and destroyed the happiness of more fami lies—he has made more enormous exactions in the shape of taxes—he has embarrassed the finances—he has paralyzed commerce and check- ed good government more than all the vicious acts of imbecile administrations in any one period of twenty years since the revolution. He exacts at all times silence and submiscion; for the penalty which he enforces is exile or death. Of all the military or civil chiefs that have ruled in any part ot America since its discovery, perhaps Santa Anna has exeouted more men in cold blvod than the rest combined. His hands are crimson with the life stains of Frenchmen, Spaniards, Mexicans and- Ameri cans. It would not be a hazardous assertion to add that he has caused more men to be exe- cuted than any one of his armies has killed in battle. With such antecedents, and with such stupidity in his recent government, it is not astonishing that revolutions are now springing upagainst him in every district and depart- ment of Mexico. It is impossible for him to quell them with his army, for he is afraid to. march, lest his troops desert to their homes, or if he delegate the command, his officers may. betray his cause to the enemy. It was for this reeson he Jed on in person in the last campaign against Alvarez, and marched to Acapulco. There his army of 7,000 men was checked by 500—and os usual, he de:erted his troops, who straggled off, and have not since retyrned to his banners. The material lost in that disastrous expedition has supplied the wants of Alvarez, with which he now seems to be pushing on to the capital. It is a knoweledge of this spirit of desertion which enables us to comprehend how in some resent engagements the reports havereached us that the army of the government has been entirely destroyed. The present position of Santa Anna is embar Ta;ing. He cannot march his troops to crash rebellion without leaving treason behind him. He cannot remain inactive, as all the country, except in his garrisons, would be in open revolt. At last, ke is beginning to be under- stoed, both at home and abroad—corrupt and avaricious in all money transactions; domineer- ing and cruel in his public conduct; holding his countrymen in contempt, because he deems them deficient in energy, he in turn is con- temptible in aspiring to a command for which his talents are inadequate. His civil adminis. trations hare been a continuous series of failures; his military campaigns a series of blunders; and both have uniformly been ia- jurious to his country. His good fortane raises him to eminence, and, as if to punish hia pro- sumption, there leaves him to his fate, to re- turn again to relieve him from some fresh disaster, which his folly, rashness and stupidity have brought upon him. He has been in public employment since 1811, and yet there is no act of his of a civil character to which he can look back as pre-eminently meritorious, In his long military career victory but once has perched upon his banners on the field of battle—at Tampico, twenty-five years ago. The anniver- sary of that victory he was celebrating at the last accounts from Mexico. It is now supposed he is gathering in his share of the plunder under the recent ireaty, with which to quit the country. But probably he may try to hold on until the remaining three millions are paid. Tae Anticrraten Revotvtion iy Dexwarr, When the quiet Danes exiibit a tendency to revolution, the volcanic epoch of the world’s history must be near at hand. It requires some violent upheaving of latent causes to stir up the slow blood and routine ideas of this primi- tive people, From all accounts, the country seems to be on the eve of come ecrious conval- sion. The government is carrying matters with a high hand, and unless some concessions are epeedily made to popular opinion, the crown of Denmark may furnish another subject for a tragedy. The ministers appear to place full reliance on the loyalty of the army, but we bave reasons for believing that they are deceiv ing themselves in trusting too entirety to their support, The military are very much divided in their feelings towards the government. The cavalry are, generally speaking, favorable to the ministry, although several of the younger officers of this branch of the service have lately tbrown up their commissions in disgust. The infantry will be almost equally divided, and the artillery, which is deservedly regarded as the most intelligent corps of the army, will side with the people, as will also the great ma- jority of the National Guard. Under these cir- cumstances, we cannot understand the infatua- tion of the court party in driving matters to such extremes. Quem Deus vult perdere prius dementat. Treasvry Crrconan tN RereRENCE TO Fis Why did the Secretary of the Treasury confine bis recent alteration in the revenue law to fish? The reciprocity treaty applies to coal as well: why not grant the game privilege to the one as the other? The ree admission of fish will be a boon to the fishermen no doubt: but the whole community would benefit by @ redaction in the price of coal. Let coal importers receive the assurance of the administration that Congress will be recommended to remit the duties they may pay on foreign coal, and the article will p°ll in thirty days at sjx dollars ton, Etats Unis, meeting is soon to take place, either in Frapoe or at Badem Spa, between Messrs. Soulé, Buchanan. Mason and others, to confer upon the policy which the United States ought to pursue toward the European powers in the present crisis. At the very las: advices it was supposed that this congress would meet in some rafe place in the little republican com- munity of Switzerland, This ie a good idea, for the old legitimate monarchies of the Con- tinent are very suspicious and watchful of the movements of our warlike Mini-ter to Spain. We have our own notions, however, of the ob- jects of this exirordinary congress. We’ don’t think it has much to do with the Russian war, There are diff-rences of opinion among them on ‘that +ubect. Belmont is sais to be thorqgghly ‘Russian on the war question, while Robert Dale Owen is, no doubt, ju-t as decidedly for the allies. No; this American diplomatic con- gress in Switzerland is called for the parpose of comparing notes, or rather coats, in coanec- tion with the official circulars of Secretary Marcy on the court costume of our ministers abroad. Every one of our ambassadors in Europe has construed the-e instructions for himeelf, and hence no two of them are on atate occasions dreseed alike. Here they are, as far as we have been able to find them ont, in their diplomatic court cos- tume, under Marcy’s instructions that they are to take good plain old Ben Franklin as their pattern to go by:— 1, Mr. Buchanan, London—Black dress coat and pants, and pumps, white waistcoat, cravat and stockings, 2. Mr. Mason, Paris—Black dress coat, buff vest, metal buttons, and during the summer Nankin breeches and Japaned pumps, with steel buckles, and yellow silk stockings. 3, Mr. Soulé, Madrid—Dress of purple velvet, embroidered with gold and black gimp, sword and pistols. 4, Mr. Vroom, Berlin—Plain Jersey farmer’s Sunday-go-to-meeting costume, black shad bel- lied coat, black satin cravat, very high, large shirt eollar turned over the cravat, black satin waistcoat, single breasted, gray cassinet pants, and calf skin boots, pegged. 5. Mr. Belmont, the Hazue—Shad-bellied black velvet coat, embroidered with gold and silver— fancy embroidered waistcoat—fine geld watch, set in diamonds, with an immense guard chain anda large cluster of trinkets. Fashionable pants, with a bird’s eye view of. Wall street down one leg, aud. of St. Petersburg down the other. Beautiful breastpin portrait of Captain Gibson, set in the crown jewels of the Prince of Orange. Coach and four, bearing the arms of his ancestors, three golden balls suspended upon a single stem; motto: two pluck one. 6. Mr. Daniels, Turin—Very plain, on pur- pose; coat, pants, and waistcoat of Kentucky jean; check shirt; wide-awake hat. 7. Robert Dale Owen, Naples—Blue frock coat, metal buttons; red waistcoat, and gray cassimere pantaloons. These are all, we believe, of our European corps diplomatique that are to meet in Swit- zerland; and when we look at the variety of their costumes the importance of this proposed congress will be visible to the naked eye. It is to bring about something like uniformity in our diplomatic court costumes, according to the circulars of Secretary Marcy. We have only, therefore, to express our sincere wish that the deliberations of the said congress on this momentous subject, and its conclusions, may be worthy the dignity of this great country and its simple republican institutions. This done, we shall feel perfectly safe—perfectly— perfectly. Boats on Boarp Ska-Gorve SrEAMERS.——Much has been said about the want of boats on board the Arctic. We notice the fact there because she was a large mail steamer, freighted with people whom we knew personally. But no one thinks of the large emigrant veseels which carry five and six hundred passengers, and which have not only no life boats, but no boats at all, for more than perhaps a fourth of their passen- gers. The same accident might have happcaed to one of them, and if it had, not one out of ten would have escaped. The reason is very simple. A passenger ship has not room to carry boats enough for her whole complement of passengers. Boats for six hundred people would leave no room for anything clse. An invention is necdcd to provide for the case. We must have a new description of boats, which will pack one into another, eo that half adozen can be ‘carried as casily as one. Gatiic Franxyngs.—In Marshal St. Arnaud’s general order to his troops, previous to their disembarkation on the Crimean coast, he per- mits himself the use of a phrase which, we pre- sume, is only to be regarded as a figure of mili- tary rhetoric. He tells his soldiers that they have been seeking the enemy for the last five months—a fact that the world is for the first time made aware of, as certainly but few indi- cations have been shown till lately, of this ex- cessive eagerness to encounter the Russians. The Marshal does not see that this compliment to the troops under his command reflects rather awkwardly on the military ardor of their gene- ral. Tae Brass Case x Bosron—The case of those who violated the law by attempting a rescue of the fugitive slave, Burns, at Bo:ton, will come on shortly before Judge Curtis. We shall now be enabled to see whether lawlessness has made as much progress in Massachusetts, as is charged by the South. It is simply a ques tion whether law or fanaticism shall prevail. Brooklyn City News. Broox.ys Ixpusmaat ScHoor For Gixts ~The first anni- yersary mecting of the Brooklyn Association for the Pro- mo‘ion of Industrial Schools, was held at the Atheneum last evening—Hon. G. a.

Newarg, (Ohio,) Oct. 17, 1854. ‘The Ohio State Fair commenced to-day at the Arcient | Works, near this city, and up te this time about sixteen hundred entries have been made of groups and single articles, and nearly two thousand badges of membership have been sold. The exhibition of stock is very large and exceediz gly fine, the animale showing none of the dad effects expected from the drought. The exhibition of short horned cattle prodominates largely over other deseriptions. This partof the exhibition is said to be Sper than at any previous fair in this State. Many of the horses are very handsome and some of them quite fast. A large display of sheep exhibits many fine woolled and profitable varieties. ‘One man, Mr H. S. Mason, of Hebron, exhibits a selection from a Hock of sbout four thousand, of import ed stock. The ewine, poultry, &c., are numerpus and of excel- lest quality. Their stalls and pens oxtend for more than s mileand quarter, encircling the grounds, and they are nearly all filled. The mechanical department, under the snperintendence of Mr. Jos EB. Holmes, who heli the same office at the Orysta! Palace, is very fall and inte resting. An exhibition of steam power is given by a high pres. sure engine, manufactured by Wilcox & Gwynne, of Urbans. The boiler is one of Irving’s patent, and is much admired. Among the implements for farmipg are some good ploughs, from the shop of Ball & Speer, of Pittsburg, Pa., a very ingenions corn harvester, and a double corn Planter, by Pattee, of Peoria Iinoir, s variety of cut ters, harvesters, draining tiles, &c. The floral and horticultural department is fast filling up, and promises to be excellent, even for Ohio. The various committees will commence their exami- nations to-morrow, when we hope to report the pre- miums, some of which range as high aa fifty dollars.
