—_ HE NEW‘YORK HERALD. WHOLE NO. 17749. MORNING EDITION—THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 19, 1857. PRICE TWO CENTS. ARRIVAL OF THE NIAGARA AT HALIFAX, nan THREE DAYS LATER FROM EUROPE. IMPORTANT COMMERCIAL NEWS. MORE FAILURES IN ENGLAND. ANOTHER ADVANCE IN THE RATE OF INTEREST, Speech of Minister Dallas on the Sepoy Mutiny. Reported. Ministerial Troubles in Spain, &., &., &. ‘The steamship Niagara, from Liverpool at 1 o’clock P. M. of Saturday, the 7th inst., arrived at Halifax at 12:30 A.M. yesterday. The N. sailed from Halifax yesterday 85:15 A. M., for Boston, where she will be due this even- ing. Weather clear; wind southwest. She brings £33,000 in specie for Halifax and £86,958 for Boston, Politically the news by this arrival is merely interest- ‘fg, but financially it is of the highest importance. ‘The Continental news is not of a particularly important description. ‘The pressure in the money market was again excessive, eonsequent on the advance by the Bank of England of its Fates of discount to nine per cent. The advance caused 0 diminution in the demand for money. Urgent calls for relief were being made upon the gov- ernment from various quarters, but the Times thought any guch action unnecessary. The Paris money market was unsettled, but there had yet been no advance in the rate of discount. A considerable decline had been experienced in the Liverpool cotton market, the market closing very dull. Sales of the week 22,000 bales. ‘The Liverpool breadstuffs market was quiet with a de- lining tendency. The Liverpool provision market was very dull. Lard was considerably lower. ‘The prohibition upon the export of hides, &c., from the Baltic had been removed. ‘The United States steam frigate Niagara left Plymouth for New York on the 6th instant. The Collins steamship Atlantic, from New York 27th nlt., had not arrived at Liverpool at 1:15 P, M. of the 7th. ‘The steamship Vanderbilt, from New York Oct. @4, arrived at Southampton at 9:30 A. M. of the 5th inst. She grounded off Cowes, owing to a thick fog, but got off with- out damage. ‘The United States steam frigate Niagara left Plymouth onthe Sth inst. for home. The oificers hada farewell baaquet given them by the commander and officers of of the British flagship on the station. ‘The Niagara passed at 9 A.M. of the 8th, off Salteos, the royai mail steamship Asia, from New York for Liver- pool; 12th, lat. 50 19, long. 3416, ship Centurion, bound ‘west; 13th, lat. 49 14, long. 42, passed a steamer steering east. THE MONETARY PRESSURE. Financial affairs were still paramount in importance. On Wednesday, the 4th inst., consols fell to 89. There was increased anxiety and pressure in the money market, mnder the apprehension of a further rise in the bank Yates; but the heavy payments of the 4th were well met. ‘The suspension of Powles, Brother & Co. was announced. Their acceptances amount to about £50,000. ‘The rate of discount at Hamburg was advanced to nine per cent. On the Sth inst. the Bank of England, as was appre- hended, raised the rate of discount from eight to the un- precedentee rate of ning per cont. This movement failed to abate the demand for nioney, which contivued without diminution throughout Thursday. The Times thinks the continued pressure nmust be mainly caused by alarm and the consequent desire of every per- son to be over supplied. Suggestions were current that the government should be called upn for paliatives, bat the Times argues that there is no shadow of pretext for such a step. The Times i pau chnesen ot tho pubs wah be woll eware Gat if the nation should so pitiably lose its self-possession as to give way to pant. there is but one remedy, and that the gov- ernment will be compelled to adopt. There can be no peed, to proclaim the be- is still 0 low as legrading contingency to be regarded as not only possible but ble. ‘The funds fluctuated about a half per cent during the Sth Inst. closing at 88); a 8854. From all places on the Continent various sums in specie were said to be in course of transmission to America. ‘Tho suspension of Naylor, Vickers & Co., of Sheffield, ‘and having ® branch house in America, was announced, ‘Their liabilities were estimated at from £600,000 to £1,000, 000, and their assets were believed to be £200,000 in ex coms. Their difficulties were believed to be temporary, and were said to have been caused solely by the cessation of remittances from America. Messrs. W. Orr & Co., in the River Plate trade, have also suspended. Ata public meeting of merchants a& Glaagow, a deputa- tion was appointed to proceed to London to wait upon the government and urge the necessity of immediate meas- ures for commercial relief. On the 6th inst. the applications at the bank for money ‘wore numerous, but no new difficulties transpired. Consols advanced carly in the day, but subsequently a reaction tosk place. ‘The Times urges a suspension of the export of specie to India, and thinks India rich enough to be left to her own Feeources. ‘The Daily News believed the Glasgow deputation ar- rived in London on the evening of the 6th. They will It, fe understood, urge upon the government the advisability of suspending some of the provisions of the Bank Charter act, as was done in 1847. Movements with a similar ob foot may be shortly looked for in other districte. ‘The Borough Bank of Liverpool was paying all deposi tors of sums under £200. ‘The Paris Bourse comtinued unsettled, but without any Great fuctaations. ‘The Paris correspondent of the Daily News says:— ‘Tt has been reported that eighty millions of france in Rnglieb bills, and forty millions in French bille, on the ‘United States have been returned protested. Tt was ramored in London on the 4th instant that the Bank of France had advanced ita rate of discount, but the Daily News correspondent telographed that the Bank of France had not advanced the rate, hoping to find other means of self protection. ‘There is some question as to the right of exporting gold from France. ‘On the 4th the funds m France closed 66f. 70¢ and 67f. ‘The bullion in the Bank of France is said to havo fn creased from 190,000,000 francs to 198,000,000 francs. A Vienna despatch of November 3 says that the Credit Bonk has to-day taken a step likely to cause ontensive embarrasement. It ia in want of ready money and hag demanded payment from those persons who have obtain- ed advances on government and private stock. AFFAIRS IN GREAT BRITAIN, GRAND BANQUET TO THE DUKE OF CAMBRIDGR— BPRECH OF MR. DALLAS ON THE SRPOY MUTINY. ‘The fresdom of the City of London and a splengdeword were formally presented to the Duke of Cambridge on the 4th instant. The Lord Mayor gave @ grand banquet th fkonor of the event, which was attended by reveral cabi et aantors and foreign ambassadors, including Mr. The Duke of Cawnnmar, ina speech, said that he had « Jeter from Sir Colin Campbell emphatically deaying that was any difference between the Go’ neral and him. The Duke extolled the conduct of the British army in India, and advocated its maintenance in an effi. Gent state of warlike establishment. Farl Grevvrix defended Lord Canning from the charges with which he had been assailed, but intimated that if p= hn Prove true he would sacrifice his personal ton sense of public duty. Mr. DaLtas, after making some remarks appropriate to the event of the day, spoke as follows in regard to the Indian mutiny += Sympathy has been invoked from foreign nations in re ference be rao affairs in India, Tam not here to as to the extent my government or the people of United States sympathise with the. str alo of Png: tand against India. ‘That js not the thought t wish to ex ‘The thought which I wish to is in refe rence to the treatment that is to be dealt to those who have distinguished themselves in the field of crime in that unbappy region.

This, as it a tome, is not the language of any particular iudividual of any particular country, but the lan; of human nature; and although Iam un able to say far such may be concurred in by the great body of my fell citizens on the epposite side of the Atlantic, yet I think I know them well enough to say fies De Memieas.

Lord Brougham q@iciated at the inauguration of Queen’s College, Liverpool, In the course of his remarks he strongly denouno@® the encouragement of African free emigration by France, stating it was reviving the damaging the cause of civilization and commerce in Africa. Parliament has been further prorogued to the 17th of December. ‘The Kings of Sardinia and Greece have each subscribed ten thousand francs to the Indian Relief Fund. The London Times has an article ou Central American affairs, and hopes for an amicable adjustment of all pend- ing questions from Sir Wm. Gore Ouseley’s mission; also oe realization of the projected canal across the mus. No further attempt has been made to launch the Levia- than. Ap examination showed that their was not the least twist or deflection in the ship, and that she sits as fairly in her cradles ag she did on the morning of the attempted launch. There is now no more liability to settle than there was before. The 2d of December is the day fixed for the secon’ attempt. The engineers are confident of a succeseft:! result. A suit in the Admiralty Oourt by the owners of a Be od on board the American ship Andrew Foster against the owners of the American ship Tuscarora, for causing the Joss of the former vessel by collision in the Irish Channel, has resulted in favor of the owners of the lost cargo. FRANCE. The Times Paris correspondent says:— It is pretty certain that the Emperor is much annoyed at the turn things have taken in the Principalities. Neither the Austrian nor the Turkish Ambassadors has been invited to Compeigne. Someihing serious must bo going on at this moment at Constantinople, if it be true, as reported, that M. Thouvenal has susponded relations with Reschid Pacha, though not with the goverhment. It is added, that M. Thouyenal has been left alone in the matter. ‘The Independence Belge aaserts that recruiting for the English service is going on secretly in France, and 100 francs is given to each recruit. BELGIUM. ‘The ministerial crisis continued. M. de Brouker had been called in by the King, but had not succeeded in forming a ministry, A dissolution of the Chamber was 4 considered probable. AUSTRIA. A reduction in the Austrian army is said to be positively decided upon. It will be the largest reduction since 1848, Thirty generals are to be placed on the retired list. It is believed that fifty millions of florins will be saved yearly by the reduction. PRUSSIA. A Berlin letter eays that most of the German States have nctified the Pruseian government that they adhere to the measures projected by Prussia and Austria in the Holstein question. It is reported that the British government have written an official note to the Diet, claiming justice for the Duchies. A tate ee eo says that England, France and Russia have offered their good offices in the Holstein question. A Berlin letter of the 6th inst. says:—The statement that a Convention would be held to consider the affairs of the Principalities and the Holstein question is officially denied. SPAIN. Rumors of another ministerial vg had been current, but they proved to rest on a slender foundation. PORTUGAL. ‘The latest dates from Lisbon report a considerable de. crease in the number of deaths from the epidemic, and the inhabitants were returning. ITALY. Floods had done great damage in Dombardy. THE LATEST NEWS. Laverroot, Nov. 7—1:16 P. M. The Collins steamship Atlantic, from New York, ha Just arrived. COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. LONDON MONEY MARKET.

The failures at Liverpool have, no doubt, been a main cause of the gloomier feeling pervading the market. At Huddersfield on the 3d inst., the woollen market in almost all branches has been inactive.

ARRIVAL OF INDIAN REFUGEES IN ENGLAND. The steamship Colombo arrived at Southampton, Eng. land, on the 3d inst. with the heavy portion of the East India and China mails. On freight the Colombo had three packages of specie, value £5,266; and a cargo consisting of 2009 bales of silk, 31 cases of shawls, 2 boxes of shells, 3 cases of tortoise: shell, 1 box of ivory, and 41 packages of general mer- chandise. The Colombo had a total of 135 passengers, among whom was his Serene Highness Prince Victor of Hohen e. Several refugees from india came home by this steamer, fome of them having had very narrow escapes from sharing the melancholy fate to which so many hundreds of the British residents have been doomed, while others are the immediate relatives of those whose lives have been sacraficed. Among the most prominent of these cases the following may be mentioned:—Miss Graham, whose father, it will be remembered, was shot by her side as they were making their escape,’ when, by olimb- ing over the side of the vehicle, the young lady mirasu- lously succeeded in saving her life; they had been resi- dents at Sealcote, inthe Punjab. Mrs. Baker, who was burnt out at Cawnpore, and narrowly escaped with her life. Mrs. Bunbury and Mrs, Norris, who were secretod and hunted about in the jungle for a month, and finally freed themselves from the dangers to which they had been 80 long exposed. Mrs. Warden, the widow of Major War- den, who died at sea, on board the steamer that was con- veying them from Calentta to Suez, Mrs. Owen, the wife of Sergeant Owen, of the 53d Queen’s Regiment and late Superintendent of Roads between Peshawur and Lahore; in the month of May they were compelled to fly for their lives, their youngest child being at the time only 14 days old. 'Tho sergeant, who has come home also, is suffering from mental afttiction, caused by a sunstroke, ax we were informed. Miss Clara Dunbar, aged 10 years, daughter of Captain Dunbar, of the 10th Queens, who was killed by the mutineers at Arrah on the 20thof July. Miss Nina Bailey, aged six years, the daughter of Captain Bailey, of the 71h Bengal Native infantry, which regiment mutinied at Dina- pore, and her mother has since died. The two last named ‘oung ladies have come home in the care of attendants, e cages of Mrs. Banbury and Mrs. Norris, we understand, excited great sympathy in Calcutta, and Lord Canning ten’ dered them every ‘ible assistance in his power. ‘A meeting of ladies on board the Colombo was held in the ealoon on the 23d ult. at sea, near Malta, Mrs. Baker, the wife of Major Baker, of the Bengal Cavalry, in the chair. ber 4 were addressed by Capt. Feld, the com mander of the ship, who recommended the formation of a committee of ladies on board each voyage to make in- quiries among the passengers, with a view of discovering any parties requiring ass&tance and relieving them. Ho handed over to them a box of clothing which he had re- ceived from #he London Ladies’ Committee, and also a box of warm clothing from the ladies of Southampton; and further stated ta lady and gentleman of South- ampton were anxious to adopt an orphan child whose fa- ther had fallen in India. The meeting adjourned till the following day, the 24th, when it was reported that three cases had been discovered requiring relief, which was accordingly administered to the parties, who subsequently , in the most grateful manner, expressed their thanks. On the arrival of the Colombo in dock, the Mayor and other members of the Local Relief Committee went on board, and the three cases in question being brought to their notice, they availed themselves of the first nity which has yet occurred by two £10 and one £5 notes a the ansiotamee of the feapostive partion “Conviction of Cancemi, the Murderer of Officer Anderson. SUPREME COURT—CIRCUID. Before Judge Davies. ‘The trial of Michael Cancemi, charged wi ing Eugene Anderson, in Contre street, conte July, has been rapidly brought to a termination (hrough the efficiency of Judge Davies, who sat yesterday from 9 o'clock in the morning till 10 o'clock at night’ Eighteen witnesses were examined for the prosecutiah yesterday, and they closed their case at 6 o'clock in the ffterfioon, when counsel for the prisoner proceeded at _pnce to pro- duce the testimony for the defence, and exhausted it at the close of the evening session, When they had exam- ined about thirty persons, who testified tothe previous good character and the industrious habits of the accused, Judge Davies observed that it was unnecessary to take up the time of the court by examining any more on that point. Counsel acted on this intimation, although they had forty more witnesses summoned. Soon after the opening of the Court yesterday morning Mr. Blankman occupied the attention of the Court and jury for an hour in behalf of his client, and was followed by the senior counsel, Mr. Ashmead, who argued for two hours in support of his ingenious theory, namely, that the prisoner was on the spot at the time of the murder, but only as a by stander, and that his flight was owing to a national characteristic—spectators of an affray in Italy often being arrested and charged with committing the offence, District Attorney Hall commenced his closing «peech in behalf of the people at 1 o'clock, and occupied an hour in discurring the side issuas which had been introduced by the defence, when an adjournment for dinner wae bad At 3 o'clock the Court reassembled, and the District Attorney resumed his argument, which was listened to with breathless attentian by a crowded audience. Ho concluded his speech at twenty minutes to six, having spoken nearly four hours. It was pronounced one of the finest legal efforts that had been made by him since the commencement of his official career. Judge Davies then proceeded to charge the jury, amid profound silence. In conclusion, the Judge ‘that if the jury had a reasonable doubt of the pysoner's guilt—a doubt based upon the evidence in the cause—it was the proerty of jsoner, and they were bound to give im the benefit of it. The jury retired to thelr room at five minutes past 7, in charge of the officers who had been deputed to attend them at the commencement of the trial. At 934 orclock ‘& communication was received from the jury, which was not read by the Judge, but on its recop- he ordered the jury to be brought into court. Thoir Appearance created intense excitement the andience, who had been patiently waiting ye! absence, the universal impression being that they had agreed upon & verdict of guilty. When they took their seats Judge Davies informed the counsel that the jury desired to pe Ture the evidence of Mathias Lowth, tho rag picker, and ‘with their consent he would read it hin notes. AR soon as he had finished reading the testimony he requested the jury to return immediately to their room. At 101¢ o'clock his Honor sent a message to them to the effect that if they had not agreed upon a verdict at 11 they would have to send for him during the night in the event of their agreeing. ‘They returned into the court room at eight minutes to 11, amid ihe breathless attention of the assembled multitude. ‘The clerk called the pane! and asked the foreman if they bad agreed upon their verdict, to which he replied in the affirmative. Clork—What say you, gentlemen, do you find the pri- soner guilty or not guilty? Foreman—Guilty. There was no of feeling exhibited by the spectators at the time, but when the Court adjourned the result of the verdict was canvassed freely, and it seemed to give unversal satiefaction. cemi did not show the least sign of emotion at the result of the trial, but sppeered ‘as composed as if the ver dict was one of acquittal Judge Davies thanked the jury for the patient hearing which they had given to the case, and also complimented Mesers, Ashmead and Blankman for the extraordinary geal and talent displayed in defending the prisoner. Mr. Sadiier, a juror, then rose and made some observa tione upon a portion of Mr. Hall’s speech in which he re ferred to the national characteristics of the Sicilians, in cluding ‘tho clergy. He thought the remarks were un. called for. Jndge Davies said he would sentence the prisoner on Friday next; but Mr. Blankman desired to have the sen tence postponed. His Honor said tbat some disposition woul have to be made of it on that day teenth Street—The Canal Street Tragedy, ke. &e., y ke. MORE ASSASSINATIONS IN THE FOURTH WARD. ONE MAN KILLED INSTANTLY — ALSO A MAN AND WOMAN MORTALLY WOUNDED. Between one and two o’clock this (Thursday) morning another desperate assassination togk place im the Fourth ward. A young man, whose name at present is unknown, but who is said to reside in South Brooklyn, was stabbed to the heart and died almost instantly. A woman named Susan was stabbed in the abdomen, and a man named Richard Driscoll was stabbed in the body. Both tho lat. ter are said to be mortally wounded. Susan and Driscol were conveyed to the hospital in a dying condition. ‘It seems this bloody affair occurred in a dance house kept by Alexander Driscoll, at No. 277 Water street, near Dover. Four men, having the appearance of Spaniards or Italians, entered the houge, and without any provoca tion commenced the onslaught indiscriminately. The de- ceased was standing by the stove when he received his death wound, The woman was next stabbed, and Richard Driscoll, who acts as bartender for his brother, made an effort to protect the woman, when the assassins inflicted a mortal wound in his body. The murderers instantly fled, and Driscoll, althongh mortally wounded, endeavored to pursue them to effect their arrest, but fell exhausted at the coruer of Dover street. On the floor of tho saloon was found the sheath of a dirk or dagger, silver mounted, with a small speck of blood on it. This was evidently dropped by one of the murderers. The sheath is in the hands of the Superin. tendent of Police, and will no doubt be of service to the Coroner. It is supposed from the description of the assassins, that they are the same gang who murdered Mr. Vincent in North William street on Monday night. THE WILLIAM STREET MURDER. CORONER'S INQUEST UPON THE BODY OF FRANCIS VINCENT—INTERESTING AND STARTLING DEVE: LOPEMENTS—TESTIMONY OF A CITIZEN WHO WIT- NESSED THE ASSASSINATION—ARREST OF THREE ITALIANS ON SUSPICION—ONE OF THEM PARTIALLY IDENTIFIED, BTC. ETC. The daring assassination of Francis Vincent, the pro prietor of a drinking saloon situated at No. 13 North Wil liom strect, on Tuesday night, by a party of four ‘talians, whoee sole motive appeared tu» dbery, create’ quite an excitement in the lower part of the vity yesterday. From the description given of the murderers by a witness on the Coroner's inquest, it is believed that they are the ame identica! gang: who enterod the saloon of John Seiler, No. 649 Pearl street, about a week o1 n days ago, and there attempted to assassinate and reb the proprictor ot that establishment. In fact, when we come to compare the descriptions carefully, there is but little room left for doubt ag far as that matter is concerned. That they were one and the same party the police are thoroughly satis fied, and they have taken measures to effect their arrest accordingly. Four Italians were arrested yesterday morn. es but only one of them, Michael de Lo renzo, is shown t have been conected with the party who murdered Vincent. Even his identification is ancertain; at least we should judge so from the manner in which the witness Hilton gave his testimony before the Coroner. ‘There appears to have been but one witness to the mur der. We refer to Hilton. He gives a lengthy and minute account of the whole transaction, and has described the ‘assaasing 80 well that it is very probable their arrest will be speedily effected. There is one point in his testimony which struck us as being very singular. He states that just before the murder took place he rose to depart from the saloon, wheu one of the Italians called him back and invited bim to partake of some wine withthen#® Why the Ttalians sbould cal! Hilton back to be a witness of the deed they then were about # commit is somewhat singular. Indeed, unless they intended to murder bim him also, so that he could give no information concerning their presence in the saloon on the night of the murder, we cannot divine why they should have called him back to be a witness of the bloody drama that was there enacted. AS far as can be ascertained no money wns taken from bod mnny! of the deceased. The police upow searching the iy found over $300 in bank bills, whieh Vincent had saved up from his hard earnings. The deceased's watch and chain was found neur the doorway, as it haa been taken from his person by the assassins, but had been dropped by them in their hurry to escape from the pre. mises The assassins had no doubt counted on an easier disposition of Hilton. Finding that the injuries they had infleted upon him had not even the effect of rendering him senseless, they became frightened and concluded to escape without eflecting the desired robbery. Hilton's showed conclusive evidence of hard usage at the hands of the Italians, and the only wonder is that he too ‘was not murdered, for the most #trenuous exertions were made by one of the men to knock his brains out with a large decanter. But the eitort proved abortive—an all wise Yrovilence decreed that there should remain one witness to capfront the guilty parties with the horribie criune of which they were the perpetrators. connected with the man, gang who was not seen by Hilton. Some one kept guard at the door on the outside while the murderers were doing their work inside and held the door fast when Hilton attempted to open it and escape into the street. Officers Shangle, Quick and others were indefatigable yesterday in their exertions to ferret out the guilty par Ues. They made several arresta on suspicion, and have sucoeeded so far in tracing one of the perpetrators to hin hiding place. Iti# probable that w-day their efforts will be crowned with success, and that the murderers of the unfortunate man may be brought to justice. THE CORONER'S INQUEST. Yesterday morning Coroner Connery proceeded to the scene of the murder for the purpose of holding an inquest upon the body of deceased and making a trae inquiry into the cause of the death of the murdered man.

On Tuesday night, about 11 o'clock, a grocery man named John Fraser, doing business at No. 176 Weet se venteent street, was stabbed in the abdomen with a dirk knife, alleged to have been in the hande of & man named Thomas Sherlock.

Sherlock pretended to accede to the request, when he suddenly turned upon Frater, who was close behind fi and plunged a knife deep into the abdomen of the grocery man. Sherlock then made his escape from the store, but was caught by a couple of the Sixteenth ward pe fore he had proceeded many blocks. Fraser wa by a physician, who pronounced the ease a he attended The intestines of the wounded man protruded several feet, and it is supposed that some of them bave been severed, in which case little or no hope can be entertained for the recovery of the patient. Sherlock was committed for ex- amination by Justice Davison, —. THE CANAL STREET TRAGEDY. Henry Hamilton, the young man who was mortally wounded in the drinking saloon No. 388 Canal street, on \Monday morning, during an affray with a follow named John Moroney, is now lying at death's door. Dr, Ray, house surgeon of the New York Hospital, who has been in constant attendance upon the wounded man, gives it as his opinion that he cannot possibly exist many houre longer. The friends and relatives of the unfortunate young man have been daily visiting his bedside, eagerly Awaiting the moment when the reasoning faculties of the: patient may be eo far restored aa to enable them to con- verse with him. Hamilton has been delirious ever since he was admitted to the hospital, and it is a matter of muck, doubt whether he will ever return to his najurat senses. He will probably close his earthly caroer entirely unconscious of his awful situation, GARROTING A NEWSPAPER CARRIER. On Tuesday night a newspaper carrier, named Joseph Taylor, was atiacked by a couple of garroters in Fourth avenue, near Twenty-sixth street, while he was standing under a gas light counting over his change, and robbed of all the money he had in his possession. ‘The rascals aue- coeded in getting about seven or eightdollars, with which they made their escape. A number of suspicions charac- ters were subsequently arrested by Sergeant Van Orden, of the Twenty second ward police, but Taylor failed to identify any of them. The highwaymen used the carrier pretty roughly. The Utter Demoralization of the Republic. COMONFORT AS DICTATOR. Defeat of the Government Troops in tt"; South and West.

The revolutionists kept up a show of retreat until the government troops had jassed into a dangerous posi. ion of a pass called Platanillos, two leagues this of Ignala, when they fell upon them with great vigor, and killed and di iapersed the entire government force, and killed their leader, Gen.

At Queretaro a similar mishap has befallen the govern- ment—Meyia, the bandit, fli upon that place om Sunday last, the first inst., and on Monday morning, at 3 o'clock, commenced an assault.
