Can you give us any information relative to men em- ployed upon the Park formerly residing in Westchester? A. ‘es, T employed a wall builder, and he brought some five ‘Or six men; he was employed because I knew he could do “the work well and | wanted it as a specimen for the rest of the workmen; there was one man from Staten Island “who was employed to drive a yoke of oxen because he was particularly acquainted with driving of oxen. ‘The remainder of this witness’ evidence was toa great extent a repetition of what has been already given. Mr. McIxrosu, the construction and disbursing clerk of ‘the tral Park, stated that there were at one time over 700 men employed there; he did not know of any having ‘been discharged and taken back; he paid the men by the order of the Treasurer; he did not know of any deduce téons having been made from the pay of the men; about ‘wen laborers were employed at present; there are some men who have not been paid, and who have not ap- plied for their pay. J. B. Bacon testified that he was assistant engineer or surveyor; he had seen a paper made out by some one he did not know, and which he understood had been found ng near the office: this paper contained an estimate of e amount of work that might be done in five months; ‘the paper read somewhat in this way—10 foremen, at $2 each per day; 120 laborers, at $1 each; 30 wall layers, at $1 50 each; the total amount footed up was about 23,000 and some odd dollars, I forget the precise sum; he had beard that fifty cents were deducted from them for lost tools; he had not been paid for his own labor, and he had claim of some hundreds of dollars against’ them; they had only paid him $206 58, while his salary amounted to $1,500 a year, and he had been #t work ten months. Micnart Mien did not know of any reduction having been made in the pay of the workmen; but he did know that a few wall layers were employed from Westehester. ‘Twomas Gray said he had a claim of $11 60 against the ©ommissioners for labor done in the park, and they de- olmed paying; he didn’t think there were seven hundred men employe James McLavont testified that his wages had been re- @nced, and another witness, named Norman Ewe, said ‘that he has a claim against the Central Park for wages from last January to the 28th of July. Jenemisn Towkx, who was employed by the old Com missioners, knew that several clerks had not been paid, ‘and he had not received any money from the Ist January. This was the last witness examined, and the committee adjourned to meet at 2 o'clock this afternoon. SELLING BREAD BY WEIGHT. The Special Committee appointed by the Board of Gouncilmen to consider the propriety of baving all bread sold by weight, met at 8 P. M., yesterday, in the Library Oty Hall. The committee did not feel themselves authorized to fix the price of bread, but they were unanimously in favor of having uniformity in the weight of loaves estab. Wehed Mr. McFadden, a baker, agreed with the opinion of the committee. Het hought it would ruin many bakers to cstablish an arbitrary price for loaves, but that all loaves should have & uniform weight,” and those bakers who made the loaves the best and sold them the cheapest would have the greatest ran of customers. No bakers, he + ever adulter aied their bread, if there was ‘any adulteration dt was in the flour when it was bought. ‘used potatocs in their bread to some extent, but this was done to make the bread better, not cheaper, because po: tatoes are now dearer than flour. Alam was used by the bakers to make the bread whiter and keep the dough from. running while it was raising. The committee decided to report in favor of passing an ordinance that every baker should make his bread up in loaves weighing either one, two or four pounds, and his rolls so that there will be six in a pound; every loaf to be branded with its weight and the initials or mark of the baker. If any baker should violate this ordinance his ‘Dread is to be seized, confiscated, and a heavy fine impos ed upon him. PRECAUTIONS OF THE GENERAL GOVERNMENT Apprehended Attack on the Public Offices— A Force of Marines Stationed tn the City— Everything Quiet and Peaceable, The following despatch from Washington was received Sta late hour last night — ‘Wasmsoron, Nov. 9—10 P. M. ‘The government here, receiving intimation this after- noon by telegraph that there might possibly be trouble in New York to morrow, took immediate steps to guard the public property, which will be pratected, we are autho- Tived to say, ai all hazards. Major Harris, of the Marines, was despatched by the ffternoon train to make all necessary preparations. Immediately on receiving the above we despatched one of our reporters to ascermin whether there were any eymptome of ap approwching riot in any of the down town wards last evening, or not.

MOVEMENTS OF ba ated IN NEW- the Newark Mercury Nov. 9.) ‘The workingmen of this city who are out of employ will meet on the Military Common this morning, at seven o'clock, for the purpose ef devising means to obtain work. Meetings of a similar character with that in contemplation have ‘Been held in New York and elsewhere, but we do not know that any good grew out of them.’ Something ought undoubtedly to be done for our laboring classes, but whether any effective plan of relief can be devised by out of door assemblages, is, to say the least of it, very questionable. The attendance will of course be large, there being several thousand persons out of em- ployment in our midst, all of whom will feel an interest in the meeting. The feeling among our laborers that they should be do- ing something for themselves, has been extending very rapidly during the past week, and on Saturday, the Street Commissioner's office was besieged with a large crowd of men, principally of foreign birth, beseeching him to give them work on the streets. So great did thecrowd become that the presence of the police was rendered necessary to secure order, and the men being assured that the city would give them work as soon as possible, finally dispers- ed, but gathered about the vicinity in groups, discussing the “hard times.” A gentleman who had just procured a safe, wished it removed into his building, and on making application to two or three men for their services, was beset by the whole crowd, which seemed eager to obtain Jabor, even if rewarded with only a trifling reaumeration. ‘The men generally appeared disposed to be quiet, though some displayed a disposition to make trouble, demanding s @ right that the city should either give them work or read. . ‘The day police, we understand, numbering sixteenmen andfour officers, held a meeting a few days since and sub- cribed enough ‘funds to buy twenty-five barrels of tlour, which they purpose to distribute through the appropriate channels for the benefit of the poor and destittue. The pro- posed parade of the force has been abandoned, the men per. fermg to contribute what it would cost them to the poor. The flour, we learn, will be ready for delivery, whenever the Relief Committee may ask for it. The Greenwich Street Tragedy. EXAMINATION OF THE PRISONERS TOOL AND HAGAN. Before Coroner Connery. ‘The Greenwich street tragedy continues to be the sub- ject of investigation by the authorities, and strenuous efforts are being made to effect the capture of Morris Connell, the leader of the murderous gang. The police of the First ward are anxious to retrieve their lost reputa- tion; and to make amends for the gross carelessness they exhibited in allowing Connell to escape, they have been ‘at work day and night endeavoring to ferret out his hiding place. The police in the other wards are also active in the search, so that the speedy recapture of the fugitive does not seem at all improbable. Yesterday Coroner Connery proceeded to the Tombs for the purpose of examining the prisoners Too! and Hagan and taking their statements, in accordance with the law. The accused admitted having been companions of Connell on the night of the murder, but denied having had any intercourse with the deceased. They claim to have bad eonnection with a young woman who was in the piace; but aver that they they were in no implicated with Connell in the assault npon Mrs. Spitalin, the murdered woman. From their statements, which appear preity reasonable, it would appear that Connell and Sailor Dan were the persons who violated the deceased, and not Con. nell and Tool, as it was at first supposed. . however, is at variance with the evidence of young Blackburn, which points to Connell and Tool as the persons who drag ged the deceased into the bedroom, and there violated and murdered her. The examinations of the prisoners read as follows:— William Hagan, being duly examined before the under signed, according 10 law, on the annexed charge, and being informed that he was at liberty to answer or’ not, all or any questions put to him, states as follows, viz.-— Qnestion—What is your name?

I went to the stoop and they were in the yard. When I went to the yard James Tool was knocking at the door, Morris Connell being alongside of him. Morr called me down, and Sailor Dan, who must have got into the base- | ment through the front door, opened the basement door. James Tool went in first. Connell asked me to go in, and caught me by the shoulder and back and forced me into bedroom, the first one from the bar. There was a girl | lying on a bed. I wanted to have connection with her and she told me to lock the door; I was with her in bed at the time I heard a scream: I went out and Tool passed into the room where I was; Imet Blackburn at the door: Blackburn and I went out," 1 dont know who screamed; I #aw an old lady on a sofa, and Morris Connell near her, I had no connection with any other one.

THESTROUBLES OF' TRE BANK OF PENNSYLVANIA. | ‘The chairman of the meeeting was slso added to tho | ‘The Meeting of the Stockholders—All in the Dark OUR PHILADELPHIA CORRESPONDENCE. Pumaprirma, Nov. 9, 1857. A special meeting of the stockholders of the Bank of Pennsylvania was held at their banking house, this morn ing, for the purpose, as stated in the call, of determining whether to accept or reject the recent Relief act of the Legislature. The probability of exciting and important questions being brought up and discussed, and statements made in regard to the condition of the bank, caused a large at tendance. Stockholders were present from all parts of the State, and the place of meeting was crowded. Long before the time of meeting squads were formed in every available place in the vicinity of the bank, discussing the condition of the bank. A firm belief in the ‘“villany” of the President was expreased, while almost all united in condemning the Board of Directors for their pusillapimity nallowing the defaulter so much liberty, and then, as it were, thanking him for absconding. Men who a few months since were well to do in :he world gave an ac- count of how they were led to continue holding their stock, even when it was falling lower and lower, by the representations of Mr. Allibone that ‘all would be right— he pledged them his honor,” and they were now reduced almost to beggary. At noon the meeting was called to order by the appoint- ment of Moncure Robinson, Faq., Chairman, and Col. Mor- ton McMichael, Secretary. Mr. Rowsox, on taking the chair, said—You know, gentlemen, that'l have only been very recently a director of this bank, having been appointed at a meeting of stock- holders held at the Exchange, to Gill vacancies occasioned by the recent resignations. I felt it my duty to accept the appointment, in order to obtain better information con- cerning the real condition of the bank, and be better able to understand the most judicious course to be pursued; but, in order to give slockholders an opportunity to take whatever course they may choose, in company with the other members of the Board, I resigned my seat as director on Saturday evening. The President pro tempore of the bank, Mr. Patterson, will now give you a statement of the present aspect of its affairs. Col. W. C. Parrersoy (brother of Gen. Robert Patterson, the sugar speculator, whose name has been intimately as” sociated with the losses of the Pennsylvania Bank,) ‘then addressed the meeting. You are aware, he said, that the late President left this country in a very hasty manner; that suspicious reports were aroused by this conduct and the singular condition of the bank. “These reports, and the uncertainty of the affairs of the institution, caused the stock to fall rapidly, even from the comparatively low price it was then quoted at. The Board of Directors were called upon to make a statement of its affuirs, and I was elected President pro tempore, with instructions to assist them in investigating the affairs of the bank. You now call upon me for a statement. I tell you, gentlemen, ‘no such statement can be maile.’? (Great sensation was produced by tis announcement.) No statement can be made that might not be falsitled | within the next twenty-four hours. No statement can be made to which I would consent to place my signature. No statement can be made that one honest man should make toanother. All that we can yet know is that the funds of the bank have been drawn upon toa large amount, with- out the knowledge or consent of the proper officers: that they have been used for improper transactions. The di- rectors of the bank seem to be only aware now that the funds have been thus used. Large transactions of the late President have come to light since the suspension of the bank, of which the Board have been entirely ignorant, and for which the funds of the bank appear to have been used. You are aware, doubtless, from public rumor, of the con. cition of many of the departments of the bank. Indeod, the condition of the bank appears to have been anderstood more thoroughly outside than inside. You are by this means aware of the falsification of its books. rehability of the apparent assets. I hay the position to which you have raised me, of Pre- sident of this bank, and Tam here to ask the stock holders of this bavk to depart from their old policy and imsfue into its management a larger proportion of its heavy stockholders. T now hold in my hand the resigna- tion of every member of the Board of Directors, both old and new, with the exception of the late President, who, in resigning that office, neglected to resign his seat as direc- tor. These resignations are placed at the disposal of the present meeting. 1 may add that the directors who have thus resigned are desirous of a change in the board, and will render all the ald in their power to facilitate the ope- rations of those to whom you may choose to give your confide Permit me to say, that if the bank goes’ into an assigument now, no man can say whether the assets of the bank are sufficient to pay its debts. But if carefull hursed, it is possible that, the assets may be found suffi. cient to warrant voluntary subscriptions on the part of stockholders, and enable the bank to be resuscitated at some future period. ‘Mr. Ronixson, the chairman. again addressed the meet. ing. As meager and unsatisfactory as the statement of | Mr. Patterson appeared to be, he believed it to be uae only one that could be made. There is no accumte data upon which to proceed to arrive at an intelligent conclmscn con. cerning the condition of the bank. For several ease the President has sold your bills receivable, and absteacted funds in other ways to use for his own purposes, without the knowledge of the directors. The money thus obtained was charged to sterling, temporary loans and various other accounts, and experts are needed to trace the opera- tions of the President for the last four years, in order to arrive at the real condition of the bank. The Board pos- sess a great many papers which may serve to aid in tracing these operations, and I have but little doubt that, with the aid of a good board of directors, assets, or rather claims, could be secured which we are not yet aware of. We may be able to get from those who aided the late President in the abstraction of the assets cf the bank some portion of the property thus ob tained. I am_ governed by the opinion of the counsel of the bank advising the meeting to accept the recent Relief Act, passed by the Legislature. They arrive at this conclusion after much reflection, and believe that the acceptance can do us no injury, while it may possibl: be beneficial. The present directors of the bank are will ing to continue or retire, as the stockholders may desire. He believed the Board should be entirely reorganized, and that a committee of large shareholders should be appointed to select a new Board: for there were some members of the old Board who would be better able to conduct other business than that of directors of a bank. The speaker then referred to the directorship of Mr. Allibone, and con- strued that gentleman’s resignation of the Presideacy as | resignation of this one also. In conclusion, Mr. R. trusted the affairs of the bank, at this critical moment, will pro perly attend to their business, and each feel that he bas a most important duty to perform. They may thas be able to aid the widow in’preserving a portion of the mite which she has nearly lost, and also the numerous charitable in- stitutions interested, in saving a portion of the means they had deposited in the bank. They may be able to recover additional property and assets, enough to make this old bank again useful to the community. ‘The CHaimmay then read the following resolutions: — Resolved, Ist. That a committee of five large share holders be appointed by the Chairman to recommend such names for directors of the corporation aa may, in their opinion, be most desirable, and that the present Board of Directors be and they are hereby requested to organise the Roard by successive resignations and elec. tions, in euch manner as may be recommended by the committee. Resolved, 2d. That Mr. Thomas Aliibone having left the United States, and his seat in the Board of Directors there by having become vacant, his resignation as President hould be considered by the Board of Directors as a re fignation also of his seat as Director. Resolved, 3¢. That the Board of Directors, when re-or. 1, be and they are hereby requ report to kholders, at an early period so far as the done consistently with their interest, to what the bank has been impaired by un dulent acts of the late President, and or fraudulent acta, Mr. Ronixsox wished the attention of the Committee to be appointed to be particularly directed to ascertain the aiders and abettors of Mr. Alliboue, for assistance he must have bad, and we shall then be able to know who it is that have robbed the widow. Let their names be by. words of contempt, and let the unwavering finger of corn ever point at them. The resolutions were considered seriatim. The first was unanimously adopted. Mr. Jon M. Detox, a member of the house of 8. Aus lin, Allibone & Co., protested against the passage of the second reselution. He denounced the action of the Board of Directors in bringing suit against Mr. Allibone charg ing bim with abaconding with $200,000, when now, by the statement of Mr. Patterson, we Gnd data on which to base the charge.

At this point there wae much confusion, and the speaker Was interrupted with loud hisses, and cries of “ No “He'll never come back,” “ Humbug.” Mr. Detros continved—1 have a right to speak, as I re- Present stock in this bank. If exception is taken to my remarks you are free to answer them when I have finished Colone] Patrmnsos then endeavored to silence the tumult. He hoped no man would have bis mouth cloged to-day. Mr. Detrex then continued. He contended that this Meeting had no right to take away a man’s character There is a great diversity of opinion in this matter, and it becomes us to lean to the eid ‘Cries of “ Hum: bog,” “Sit down.) Mr. 0 jared that there wero over $1900 000 of ‘assets which had disappeared, and and he wished to know whether Mr, Allibone was to be held responsible for the whole of thie amount. It could be proven that Mr. Ailfbone when only three weeks Pre. sident of the bank, bad declared that ifhe had been aware of ite position before he accepted it, a salary of $60,000 per anbum would not have tempted him. Mind me, said the speaker, Thomas Allibone shall return to this country, afd when he returns no man will dare to slander hitn. And you, who are so over strenuous in your efforts to ruin @ man’s character, will then dread the consequences of 2 your action Loud groan and hisses here interrupted the rer.

He hoped that Mr. Allibone would return. If he should do so it would serve the cause of truth and jus tice, and might expose all who profited by these nefarious transactions. Each member of the Board of Directors had, under solemn oath, charged the late President ae being indebted to the bank w the amount of $200,000—techni. cally, that he committed a fraud \@ ReCOnA Fesolution wae then adopted—throe persons voting in the negative, Mesers.

The Commonwealth Bank, one of the new institutions chartered by the last Legislature, the Commissioners of which had called in half of the instalments to its capital stock prior to the late crash, are to commence operations by electing directors, It is to be hoped that the Common- Wealth will take the place in the community forfeited by the Pennsylvania Bank, and be a worthy successor. Robert Morris, editor of the Pennsyleania Inquirer, is to be its President. The bulk of its stock is held by mem- bers of the press, some of whom have been rather ham- pered during the crisis by their payments to its capital Block. There are some very loud whispers afloat of large sums having been squandered by the manage- ment of the Board of Health within the last year. A portion of the aggregate (said to be about $40,000) went towards paying the expenses incurred during the session of the Quarantine Convention in this city and was obtained from the city treasury by means of fraudulent bills in the names of grocers and others for ar- ticles that were never furnished. An investigation is now going on, and the evidence has become quite voluminous, disclosing a most disgraceful state of things. Some of the prom inent democrats are denouncing the committee hay- ing charge of the investigation for their course as likely to bring discredit upon our party. 'The Bowery Bank—Alleged Collusive Appoint- ment of a Receiver. SUPREME COURT—SPECIAL TERM. Before Hon. Judge Roosevelt. Nov. 9.—Jn the matter of the Bowery Banke, on the Peti- tion of A. H. Nicolay.—The petitioner, Mr. Nicolay, is a creditor of the Bowery Bank, on a certified check for $1,750, dated October 9, 1867. He complains, in that charac- ter, of what he denominates the collusive appointment of one of the officers of the bank as a receiver of ite assets, to wind up its business, and asks that the orders which were made for that purpose at the instance of Mr. Moody Cummings, another and a friendly creditor of the bank, may be vacated, aud the appointment under them get aside, Mr. Cummings’ suit, it appears, was commenced on the 10th of October, on a check for $250, which, on that same day, had been protested for non-payment, The order to show cause was also made on the 10th, and was returnable at half- past two o’clock on the same day, when the counsel of the bank appearing, but making no opposition, the institution was formally declared “insolvent,” the injunction against it continued, and a receiver appointed, with directions to rea- lize the assets and distribute their proceeds among the creditors equally and rateably according to law.’’ It will thus be seen that the demand was presented, the suit upon it instituted, the trial had, the judgment rendered, and the execution in effect issued and completed, all on one and the same day. The proceeding, therefore, although it may | have been perfectly proper, was sudstantially a voluntary assignment, made by the bank itself, for the equal benefit of all the creditors “ according to their respective debts.” ‘And the question is, is such an assignment by a bank, which, if the ‘petitioner’s allegations are well ‘was and is solvent and entirely able its debts,” in law a valid proceed. ing? The statute in relation to moneyed corporations, (IR. S. 791) provides that no conveyance, assignment or trausfer. nor any judgment suffered’ by any such corpe- ration when insolvent, or in contemplation of insolvency with the intent of giving preference to any particular creditor over other creditors of the company shall be valid in law. Such a provision seems tocarry with it, by neces- sary implication, an admission that an assignment or judg. met made or suffered, without an intent of giving prefer ences, and of course still more if with the express intent of insuring equality, is a proper and legal act. It may be that the selection of one of its own officers as receiver was injudicious, but it certainly was not un Jawful. The act for the voluntary dissolution of corpora- tions (2 R. S., 487,) expressly provides that ‘any of the directors, trustees or other ‘officers, or any of the stock. holders, ‘may be appointed receivers.” “We have the sanction, therefore, of the Legislatare for the principle of such a selection. Any creditor, nevertheless, upon good cause shown, may object either before or alter the ap- intment, and may designate a more suitable person of is OW Lomination to take the place of the nominee of the | bank. Mr. Nicolay at present makes no such application. It & understood, however, that another creditor has done 80, nd that one of my colleagues has already made the de- sired change by substituting Mr. Stewart for Mr. Brad. | ford. It is suggested that the new constitution of the State, and the act of 1849, passed to give effect to its re- quirements, have superseded the previous legislation on the subject. The constitution declares that the stockhold- ers of banks of issue shall be individually responsible to the amount of their respective shares; and the act of 1849 declares that the liability so created shall be enforced as therein provided, “ and er manner.” That “manner”? is either by issuing ution and showing that the property of the Dank is of such a character that an execution, although issued, cannot be satisfied out of it, or by waiting ten days after demand and refusal, and then applying for a distri- bution of the assets by a receiver, and an apportionment of the deficiency among the stockholders on the report of areferee. Mr. Cummings, itis said, complied with nei ther of these conditions—he neither obtained an execution nor waited the teu days. A ready answer to this objec- tion is found in ‘the well settled principle that @ party in whose favor conditions are prescribed may waive their enforcement. The bank did so; and the order on that point, no fraud being suggested, is res judi cata. It determined the institution t be insolvent.” Mr. Nicolay, it is true, was Boba party to the proceeding; Dut the statute did not require t should be. “Any creditor having a demand exceeding one hundred dollars” ‘was authorised to make the application and to obtain the order. No netice was required, except to the bank. If the statute in this respect be, as it clearly is, defective, the Court has no rower to supply the omission.’ For want of notice to all the creditors an improper person may sometimes, no doubt, be appointed receiver. The evil, however, can only be temporary. Avy person having an interest may immediately apply for a change and for an immediate injunction on his acts, and such motions may be repeated as often as Lew occasions for them may arise. Mr. Nicolay, therefore, is not prejudiced; and if it be true, as he alleges, that the hank is solvent, so much the better will it be for his ultimate payment. It may, neverthe less, under the circumstances, if he desires it, be proper to direct a reference to inquire into the matter of the ap: pomtment of the cashier, as distinguished from other per- sons (that being the act rather of the parties than of the Court), and of the subsequent substitution, pending this woding, of the Secretary of the Trust Company in bis Should the petitioner's counsel consider a special r necessary, be will prepare a draft aud submit it (on notice) for settlement. ANOTHER FLUSHING LUNATIC ASYLUM © CONFINED FOR SEVEN YEARS. SUPREME COURT—SPRCIAL THRM. Before Hon. Judge Davies. Nov. 9.—Jn the matter of the Habeas Corpus of Anna Bossett Smith.—This cave is wrapped in a great deal of mystery, and if the developements are permitted to come to light will form another chapter in the romance of private lunatic asylums. It appears that some seven or eight years ago the subject of the present writ of habeas corpus, then | about twenty years of age, formed an attachment which | her father did not approve of; he opposed her wishes, and the consequence was that the young lady exhibited a state of mental excitement which was designated “moral insanity ,”’ and her parent placed her under restraint with Mr. | Donald, in the Flushing Private Lunatic Asylum. Here she remained ever since, more than seven years, her brother being ignorant of her whereabouts, At last, by some ac- ‘cident not yet dieclowed, it became Known that she had been confided to the care of Mr. McDonald, and the brother of the lady caused to be presented w this Court the following petition — To Hox. Hawny & Davies, Jomice, &ko—The petition of Selah Squires, of the city of New York, shews that Anne Rareett Smith i her liberty, at Flushing, Queene county in this State, by one Allan MeDonald; and at rhe is not Committed or detained by virtue of any pro- cees lesved by any court of the United States, or by any Judge ther nor ia she committed or detained by virtue of the final or decree of any competent tribunal of civil or criminal jurisdiction or by virtue of any execu- tion ieeued upon such judgment or decree; that cause, or pretence of such detention and restraint, according to the best of the knowledge and belief of your’ petitioner, is this deyonent ie Tetaised, fo prosecuie writ of habeas 8 it is ute a writ corpus in this case, by her brother, Thomas Gregory Smith; that on the 3d day of November instant, deponent visited said Anne at Sanford Hall, in Flushing aforesaid; that the said Anne requested of McDonald, pen, ink and paper, in order to give deponent and said Thomas Gregory Sinith full authority in this matter, Wut the «aid McDonald refused to allow her to wand ae ink and paper, although he was assured that he should first pernse any thing that might be written; that the said Anne is not in Any rense insane, ae deponent ver ly believer, and that ber imprisonment is wholly unauthorized.

A gentleman of this city has received some private let- ters from Havana, of recent date, giving private and reliable information of the preparations that are being mace there for an invasion of Mexico. These letters he has placed in our hands for use, and we have translated such portions thereof as are of public importance. They as follows:— My Dar Frrewp—As somebod: 5 mal affect us nearly, we have alla Tent tospeak, Therefore you must not be surprised that I, a business man, and more learned as to sugar than as to matters of state pee, should assume toy pen to discuss somewhat subjects the latter character. Know, then, sir, that it isa fact that quite a martial spirit has again been evoked here, and that the equipment of au expedition is announced as to take piace immediately, which is to give the finishing blow to the power of Mexico, and to convert that republic into a Spanish colony. It is said that Comonfort persists in his policy, and has inti- mated that if Lafragua were not admitted to Madrid, so as to pave the way for further negotiations, he would not listen to reasons of any kind, although backed by all the Frances and Englands in the world. The consequence is that the Mexicans have been continuing their preparations for war, and we know toa certainty that in Vera Cruz they have been raising fortifications, &c. i But while the children of Montezuma are thus* prepar- ing for war, we, who call ourselves the descendants of Cortez, are not idle. In the Moro and in San Nazarre, car- tridges are being made by thousands, and in all haste, and the soldiers are ‘hastening to learn the use of the Minié carbine. There is not the slightest doubtthat these people are co-operatihg with the Santa Anna party, and that if, un- der the pretext of favoring the pretensions of Santa Anna, who is supported by the clergy and Spaniards in Mexico, they can succeed in effecting a proper landing on the soil, they will then march into the interior up to the very palace of Comonfort. Thus at least, say and believe those brave sons of Pelayo, who already imagine themselves to be liv- ing in the good old times of Balboa, Pizarro and Cortez. ‘The royal funds set apart for the purpose amount to over four millions of dollars, and, if necessary, the Span- ish bank is relied upon, and also the twelve millions offered to that bank for the term of six months by the capitalists whom Concha consulted in the moments of the financial panic. Latterly the regiments designed to take part in the ex- pedition have been decided on, and it appears that they are only waiting for the arrival of the opportune moment of action, As Concha knows that he is removed, and as he does not wish to abandon his seraglio, he has come to the conclusion that his best plan is to urge on the strife with Mexico, because then he will be left in his post so as to ensure the peace of Cuba, which Concha alone—as they say—can do. ‘As to other matters, the landing of Chinese continues, and they will soon commence, it is said, to bring us ap- prentices. If they go onas they have done up to the present the day will arrive—and that shortly—when it will be little short of impossible to say which is the domi- nant color in the society of our island. ‘What thinks Mr. Buchanan? Is his Excellency so stupid as not to know how to take advantage of circumstances ?

[From Another Correspondent. ] Thave poeta 9 eae that the expedition to Mexico isa certainty. They are making a million of cartridges in the Moro, and another million in the San Nazarre, for the Minie carbines. 900 horses are in readiness; and it is an undoubted fact that they are working in accord with the Santa Anna party to go to support it. Santa Anna's mother in-law bas received letters to the effect that there have already been risings in some parts of the Mexican republic in favor of Santa Anna. The ship Asia, the Rerenzuela, and other vessels of war, have arrived with troops. and I understand that some Spanish merchant ves sels have entered to-day with troops from Cadiz. There are inthe royal chests four millions of dollars disposable for the purpose, after payment of all the preparations for the service. Ido not know why the Diario de la Marina did not pub- lish to-day the news brought by the Granada of the fall of the ministry and of Lersundi’s Presidency of Congress. ‘The regiments designated for the expedition to Mexico are those of Rey, Reta, Corunna, Napoles, the two regi- ments of Caradoc, besides artillery, cavalry and engineers. ity Intelligence. Pruzx Ficut.—A pugilistic encounter, under the rules of the prize ring, for a few dollars, took place about 5 o'clock on Su rrian’s island, in the East river, nearly opposite island. The principal bruisers, stakcholder, judges, referee, timekeeper and bottlebolder, ‘as well as a large portion of the audience, hailed from the Fescch ward. ‘Whey started from the oliy tn canal bouts, and by giving out to the Harlem police that the affair was to take place on Riker’s island, they sneceeded in putting the metropolitans off the track, and the fight was consequently uninterrupted.

Another prize fight is on the ta. pis of the fancy, which is soon to take place. One of the principals is training, we understand, at the Red House, on Second avenue, and the other at MeComb's Dam. Mustary Matrers.—The 71st Regiment, American Guard, intend making a grand demonstration to-day, upon the occasion of the presentation of the eagle awarded to the regiment in June last, by the Military Association of the State for drill and efficiency. The prize is original and very beautiful in design, and was prepared by Messrs. ‘Tiffany & Co., Broadway. The presentation will be made by one of the officers of the Military Association in front of the City Hall, at 3 o'clock P.M. In the evening the offi cers of the regiment entertain their friends atthe St. Nich- olas Hotel. Fine Exorve Trrat.—Washington Engine Company No. 1, cf Brooklyn, Samuel Toombs foreman, had atrial of the capacity of their new engine yesterday morning, in front of the City Hall. They were escorted by a number of the Brooklyn firemen, and had a band of music to accomp them. The new machine is a very prety one of its kind, and the members expressed themselves much pleased with its performance. Fine tN Broome Streer.—About 12 o'clock on Monday noon a fire was discovered on the roof of a frame build- ing in the rear of No. 381 Broome street. The firemen were promptly at the premises and soon extinguished the fire. The building “as occupied by three colored families, named Pugsley, Chapman and Walker. The damage done to the furniture by fire and water will probably amount to $200; no insurance. The building is owned by Wm. §.
