THE NEW YORK HERALD. WHOLE NO. 6917 SUNDAY MORNING, AUGUST 5, 1855. PRICE TWO CENTS. nn New pa a ae An autobiography entitled “‘ Mary jon, or Welations of a Life,” has been published by Stringer & Townsend. Its very dedication conveys an im- pression of its style. It reads— To those Llove, on earth and in the heavens, I dedicate this book, It is the beat tribute I can now offer you, al- though a xy ia in my heart of a better work—one amore fvocthy ‘of you and me—which J am yet to write. Being, or professing to be, an autobiography, it is devoid of plot; but still there is interest enough in the narrative to absorb the attention of the reader, An account of a pic-nic, and the speeches of some Communists on the occasion, is graphically rendered. ‘We give an extract:—- Mr. Mooney, another bland, kindly communist, who re- jeiced now in having Mr. Lang's help in conyerting re- ae ‘Americans to a creed containing much love and no money, followed him, and svemel to be merely his echo.

The inward snd outward blending overcame me, as if the flush of apple blonvoms and roses, lilies of the valley, mignonette, and a thousand other dear and de- lightful fray had formed an odorous and semi- ppiritual bifse, in which I rested and bathed as in an ocean of and eternal life.

The work is unpretentious in style, but is the more interesting on that account. ‘The first paper in Harper's Magazine for August is No.3 of “Virginia Mlustrated.” We did not pe- ruge this with one half the pleasure we derived from reading the first of the series, several months since, though it is still,perhaps,the best in the whole namber.

L. Learned. The orator draws a by no means exaggerated sketch of the corrupt, barter- ing, truckling, hypocritical and ultra-speculative mannéré.of the day; but he failsto proponnd any- thing like a true remedy for the evil. In fact, most illogically his remedy would be applied to the igno- rant and needy, instead of to the genteel and wealthy portions of the community. Non tali aurilio, §c. We have received from the author a pamphlet on the “ Physical Characters of Lightning Bolts, and of their Affinity with the Spheroidal Condition of Mat- ter.” It consists of extracts from a memoir pre- rented to the Academie des Sciences, of Paris, on the 28th of May last, by Mr. Andrew Poey, of Ha- vana. As these balls of fire resemble rather an ag- glomeration of ponderable substances strongly im- pregnated with the matter of the thunderbolt, and as, on the other hand, they have the greatest connections with the spheroidal condition of matter, he proposes to give them the designation of spheroidal thunder bolt. ” ‘We have also received another pamphlet, by the same author, on the “ Frequency of Hail Storms in the Island of Cuba"—of these which have taken place between 1784 and 1854, and of the minima temperatures of ice and hail observed in the island Another pamphlet, containing a chronological table of earthquakes felt in Cuba from 1551 to 1855—over three centuries—and still another, on thunder storms and the number of victims annually made by light- ning in the United States and the island of Cuba. July seems to be the most dangerous month in that regard. ‘These pamphlets are all in the French language, and were published in Paris. They would be ex- tremely interesting and instructive to students of meteorology, and particularly to their great apostle and prophet in these regions, Mr. Meriam, of the Heights, whose name, indeed, occurs inthem. In acknowledgment of his voluntary contributions to science, we are ready to make him a present of these memoirs. The Turf. TROTTING STALLIONS.—We have noticed lately a number of challenges from the owners of trotting stallions in different sections of the country ; but no engagements appear to have been effected. One day the owner of the stallion John Ferris challenges the world at any distance and for any amount ; another day, the owner of Wm. Tell comes forward, but will match against nothing buta stock horse ; then the owner of Ethan Allen makes his debut, seeking for a chance to pocket a thousand or two. Now, why not these stallions, and all others having any pretension to fame, enter in a grand stake, and decide their relative merits? Such a thing would be anxiously looked to by breeders, as fine trotting stallions are wanted in various sections of the country, particularly in the South and South- west, to cross with the blood stock. A sweepstakes in the fall, between John Ferris, Ethan Allen and William Tell would be a capital affair,and draw largely, as they are particularly noted for speed, of xf being Abie te tot well ay in the Rirties. Affairs in Mexico. (From the Correspondence of the Haltimore Sun.} SANTA ANNA'S EXPECTED OVERTHROW OK WITHDRAW- AL PROM MEXICO—PRIVATE ACCOUNTS OF HIS MOVEMENTS AND PURPOBES—BREAKINO OF COM- MUNICATIONS WITH OUR MINISTER—PARTIAL RE- STORATION OF Darromasty RELATIONS. ASIINSTON, August 2, 1855. We have been often advised by letters from Mex- ico of impending revolutions in that country, and that Santa Anna was about to be overthrown and banished, or become a voluntary exile. Late advices are that he is about to steal away with his treasure. It is now asserted that neither party in Mexico— neither the moderados nor the conservados—will suffer him volantarily to depart. If it be true that the ministry of Santa Anna, with Mr. Bonilla at its head, are to be dismissed, it is probable that Sante Anna has yielded to the pres sure #0 far‘as to adopt new counsels, and is tempo- rizing with his opponents. A ae letter, from an authentic source, dated the 19th, has been shown me to-day, which states that communications had been broken off between oar minister, Gen. Gadsden, and the Mexican govern ment, sbout three weeks ere but that Mr. Vidal, the President's Secretary and the Minister appoint- ed to the United States, had sought an interview with General Gadsden, and had #0 far restored har mony between him and Santa Anna as to about along and amicable interview between them But as between our minister and Mr. Bonilla, the Minister of Foreign Affairs, there could be no fur- ther intercourse. This letter also states that Santa Anna's entire fa- mily were to sail in the Iturbide, with Mr. Vidal, on the 6th of August, for New York via Havana. It may be remarked, however, that in Mexico it is ra- mored by some that the destination of the Iturbide is to Venezuela, and not to the United States, and that General Almonte is not to be withdrawn from ‘the mission to the United States. What seems to confirm this surmise is that General Alinonte has not been advised officially of his recall. It does not follow from the rupture of the rela- tions between our minister in Mexico and the gov- ernment, that our government will refuse to receive 4 new minister from Mexico, or dismiss the present minister, General Gadsden must have had good cause for the decided steps which be has taken, and his own of the case will be looked for with julerest aad enige eauhooae 5 st City Intelligence. ‘Tux Casiz Ganpey EwuGrayt Deror axp Tux Rov- NExs.—It appears matters are coming to a crisis between the emigrant runners and the Commissioners of Emigra- tion.

CommrrtrE or CouNCILMEN ON StRKETS.—The Committee on Streets of tho Board of Councilmen met yesterday, at the City Hall, to hear complaints about the manner of giving out the contracts for cleaning the strocts, Mr. Cummings complains that he bid for cleaning nine of the upper wards, and that the contract was given to another party whose bid was informal and not answering the re- quirements of the law. Mr. Joseph E, Ebling was the only man brought before the committee. He said that many of the bids were informal. All the informal bids were put aside. The contracts were all given out according to law. Some of the bids were very low, much lowor I thought than could be afforded, We had no money at the time of receiving the bids. Mr. Flagg and myself thought it best to make the contracts and see what It would cost to clean the city, amd then ask tho Common Council for an appropriation. Many of the wards were given out to Smith, Sickles & Co., who use the street sweeping machine. I think they have offered to clean the streets lower than can be afforded. I have heard that Smith, Sickles & Co. will lose one hundred thousand dol- lara on their contract. In my judgment the city cannot be cleaned for any such sum as they stipulate for. In my judgment this street xweoping machine ix not 40 good us the hoe and broom. Jt don't sweep the city ax clean. T saw it tried one or two nights, and it breaks down where there is any dirt. It broke down half a dozen tines. 1 believe it is now used to clean the streets after a lot of men have preceded with hoes and brooms. The committee then adjourned to meet again on Tuesday next, at three o'clock, P. M., when Comptroller Flagg and others are to be summoned before the comuittee.

Six boats manned by seamen, marines and several officers, and armed with guns, left the man-of-war.
