The first caucus gathering of the anti-Nebraska wembers of Congress, for the next Presidency, was held Jast evenicg at the Capitol. A large num- ber were in attendance, and the principal speeches were those of Senators Wilson and Seward. From the remarks of the latter it would appear that he is again willing to bave another change of party mames, if in making it it will aid the success of the nig- ger cause, cradva.ce bis own interest, The latter is what he most cares for; but his modesty is auch that it ‘won't permit him to confess it. Yet tne gifvea Senator may be dzeappeinted in optain‘ng his object, if the pri- val Gpintons ‘of those present iast night can be regarded fair criterion, or approximating to one in the care.

INTERESTING LETTER FROM COMMODORE SHUBRICK. Wasuinctox, February, 1856. Sim:—I have the hovor two acknowlezge the receipt of yeur communication of th 2c iest., propouncing to me, as preriaieg officec of tre late Naval Board, certain que. ries in relation to the action of said board, ani have in acswer rerpectfally to 8 ave as follows:— Quany 1. The general priocipies which zoverned this board in reserving arc droppirg « ficers, and in claasify- ing them as retised or torloushed? Axswmr. The chject of the act of Congress, as its title Knows, was ‘10 promete the efficiency of the pavy.”’ By the act of 4h Avgust 1842. the num. ber of offfcers in each grade was fixed with e maxi- mum limic. Tpis numoer waa de’ermined and con- trolleé by the vicissitudes 0: the service in referecce to fea cuty iben. Since that time every officer who hat heié # place on the register, and who could not or would not perfcrm bi+ share of ‘sea duty, has imposed upon the Desartment the necessity of requiring from some ober officer who was both abie and willing an extra share cf duty, Thr gecersl principle, then, which first goverusd tue beara was to meet this requirement of the law, exc “promote the effinency of the navy" by sscer- g who those officers migut be of each de who could nct be reed on for the prompt aad cuarge of their cuty both asnore and sflos! them on ene gensrai reserved list. The nes this will be more apparent when it is recollected number of officers was estab ished ia 1842 and, of course, contreiled by the requirements ot the s*rvice at that time, fourteen years ago. and that no prcvisiot hes bean made to meet the mereased amount of sea service by a Corresponding increase of officers. Havir g seperated ti ore nct considered available for the prompt and efficient performance of sli duties, both ashore and aflcat, it became vecessary to classity the re- iclent dis. served cfficers according to the provistous of the act. The geneial prinerple wach governed he boad ia this elar si fic vas to select for retirement, on leave of ab sence pay, ail those who for distinguished se-vi high cbaracter it deemed to be eatitied ¢) this doerai pro- viricn of # grateftl country. On the fariough list those ‘were piacea who had uct been earefwi enough o: forturate enough ty render such service asgave a claim to the highest bouniy ot their country. ‘To compete the re- quirements of the law, tt cecame the du'y of the board, Isstly, to Cesignate such sa had becoue inoompe'eat ‘from ary cause imp'ytog sufficient blame’’ on their o en part, ‘Iie principle which governed the bosrd in this most psiztul part of ite duty was to relieve the register of all those whose course had been such as to leave no expeciatice of future usefulness, and who had to:fited their claim to the fos eriog care of the government.

The beard, havirg no authority under the act to summen witcesss or to administer caths, anc no ‘power to en orce at-ecdance, was left to find ‘'proofs” in the known capaci ies, conditiots and hsbi's of the officers and the recorcs of the Navy D:partmeat, to which they bad free aceers, and of which they made free use, ‘The Jaw call-d upon the board for its judgment, its proteesioual }.¢gment, on the condition anc capactty of all the cthoeis ct certain grades of the navy, [tis im- poes:blr co extumerate ali t-e sources from which the ele- mente which went to meke up thair judgment wece rawn.

B. BEC BRIK, Captain Unired States Navy. Hon. S. R. Matrory, Chairman of Com. on Navai Af- fairs, U. S. Senate. Interesting from Mexico. Kl Diario de la Marina de la Habana of the 24 March, contains the following news:— By the steamer Mexico, which left Vera Cruz on the 25th February, we sre in possession of some later news, which bas been communicated to us orally. President Comonfort was besieging Puebia at the head of on army numbering from 7,000 to 8,000 men. The for- tr ses ot San Juan de Ulloa the garrison of which had pe a pronunciamento, had surrendered to the city. and it was saii that the chiet, Sr. Satiedo, and eight of nis as- sociates, haa been concemned to death. Communication with Mexico city was entirely cut off. The last news from the capital, contained in the Vera Cruz papers, is only tothe 13th February. Is seys that the division Vibareal, destined to be- siege Puebla, amounted to 6,500'men, with 18 pieces of artillery. A letter adds tbat he only waited for ® junction with the brigades of Moreno and Ghilardi in mareh directly on Puebia. The former was quactored in Osumba, and the latter was to leave the capital on the 14th cf February. Both these brigades, it is said, number 5,000 men. Besides, 1+ was hoped to form (with the national guard and the rest of the troops) a reserve army of another 8 000 men. Iv seems that on the 18th of February the combined jorces were to leave their quarters with General om: fort a’ their head. It is tuerefore not to be womered at that at the salting of the Mexic » the communication was not yet re-established, the more so a3 some stragglers of the troopa, who had provounced in Pueols, roved about the towns and villages between Puedia and Vera Cruz. ‘The return to Mexico of the brigade Ghilardi, who had been ordesed to pursue Gen. Uraga, seems to confirm the entire defeat of the Iutier in Tuliman, snd also that of the troops of D. Tirso Tauregui, in Oxuluama, on tue 30th Janusry. However, we must add that the papers of Vera Cruz, which have come to hynd, contain no further news about Generai Urega. Therefore, the government, in case that in other parts of the republic some other corps of troops belonging to the party of the pronuneia- ment:s be able to main ain themselves, ja: it neces- sary to concentrate its forces around Puebla, where Gen. Haro y Tamrez, in the opinxon of the press of Vera Cruz, found himself ra:ber iu a precarions position, in conse- quence of the cifferent codies of troops which were marching against him.

There was a general attendance present of delegetes from the different wocleties proposing to unite in the ensuing celebration. Mr. Peter R. Gamer, delegate from the Ancient Order of Hibernians, presided. Previous to the reading of the minutes of the last meet- ing, Mr. CusmnG, from the Montgomery Society, seeing & reporter of the Express present, moved that, before pro- ceeding to business, the Express reporter be expelled from the meeting. Remarks ensued by several upon the mo- tion; but denunciation of the reporta appearing in the Express of their previous meetings was unanimous, and the motion prevailed nem con. ‘The reporter vook his bat and left, uttering, as he reached the coor, ‘‘Weil, this is strange—Irishmen ex- pel‘ing an Irishman.’’ ‘This preliminary business having been gone through with, the minutes ef the last meeting were read and ap- roved.

Mr. Kxxwan, from the Third Division Hibernia Society, stated that it was too ja e to efiest a union ia the cele- bration, as notices had been issued to the militia to turn out cn the 17th inst. ‘The CumuaN said that these ordera could be counter- moanced. Ex Alderman Docusery, the Grond Marshal, remarked that from his coxferences with officers of the militia, a postponement of their celebration would be pleasing 'to most.

The Coroner then charged the jury upon the ‘evidence acduced before them. This ‘poy, after about halt an hour's deliberation, reacered the tolowirg vercict:— “We, the jurors, sworn to investigate the ciroum- stances attencing the death of Silas Wright, have, after carefull weighing the testimony, come to the following conelt _ the deceased, Silas Wright, came to his death by a blow received at the hands of John Wil- 6 1d we provounce said act manslaughter.” Upon the rendiiion of this veraict ihe Coroner ecw mitted the prisoner to the Tombs to await the action ofthe Grand Jury.
