Again the readers of the Heraip have another proof of what you have so often repeatéd—that Mexico, as a Spa- wish mongrel nation, is fast passing to that from whence ne nationality can be redeemed. Twenty month's have elapsed since the ‘ Plan of Ayutla’’ triumphed in Mexico, and the call for a new comstitution was isewed. Mail after mail carried you the discussions of the Constitutional @an- Bress, until at length the constitution of 1867 was clabo- | dred dollars. The offence he has committed, I believe, vated, with eil its one hundred and twenty cight articles. | entitles him to six months imprisonment. Rather expen- sive to be a gentleman editor in this country. Comonfort may, perhaps, order his release if he be further molested, as they are likely to be good friends. 1 have just received and enclose you the Extraordinary of this moruing. The Hyxnarp gauged the instrument at once, and pro- pounced it an impracticable scheme of government. The vesult bas proved the wisdom of its judgment. In a single might all of that vast fabric that was left, after granting extraordinary powers fo President Comonfort, was swept away. Twenty-one shots from the artillery, the ringing ef the bells—the number of these in the city is not so easily counted—the firing of afew rockets and the posting ef a slip of paper on the street corners—and the people of this city take their morning walks under a new style of government. The constitution of 1857 is hustled away ‘ate the rubbish basket, and the Solons of the land give ‘an extra jirk as they fling their cloaks over their shoulders fm the morning, and stride the streets with a hang-dog took, smoking their cigarrets with an uncommon vebe- mence. @omonfort is Dictator of Mexico. The circumstances which have brought his promotion about are not of his ‘own coining, for I believe no man was more averse to his taking the step than be himself. To assert this, however, ts not proof. Well, then, to explain to the readers of the Hsxnatn, it is necessary to lay bare a few facts that are not agreestle for me, as a Mexican, to make known to the workd.

Events pregnant with the future fate of Mexico, and of scarcely Jess significance to the people of the United States, have taken place within the past few days. In conformity with the predictions con- tained in my last letter the anomalous condition of political affairs then existing has been swept away by a coupd’itat, and has given place toa new sys tem more in accordance with the demands of this distract. ‘ed and politically corrupt community. The lion and the lamb may lie down together, but it is a moral and phyei. cal impossibility for a representative Congress and an EX- ecutive endowed with extraordinary powers to exist for any length of time together in a repubfic that has any pretensions to the name. Iwas by no means surprised, therefore, yesterday morning, when I was informed that during the previons night the brigade of regular troops stationed at Tacubaya, under command of Gen. Zuloaga, had marched into the city, and by a single blow, without shedding a drop of blood, had overturned the old and in- augurated a new political system. The Congress was dis- reed, the constitution set aside, and Don Ignacio Comon- fort made Dictator, with infinitely less noise and distur bance than usually attend a meeting of ‘the unterrifed”’ in the halls of Olid Tammany. following very cool little doccument, posted at the corners of the streets, backed up by the bayouets of Zuloaga, which was stationed in different parts of the city, effected its urpose in the most satisfactory manner, [The plan of Tachbaya, already published én tho Heat.) ie they ‘ed threats of pures when fort.

This legislative body, called the * National Congress,” was to have commenced its labors on the 17th September; but for one reason or another, the body did not get consoli- ‘dated for some days after the time fixed, and when it did rucceed in finding a quorum, the great bulk of the mem- bers commenced a system of operations against the Presi dent, as it taking it for granted that their duty was to pluck everything from his hands. This system of imbe ile conduct continued until, from the want of power on the part of the President to restrain robbery and treason in the Mand, the very suburbs of this city were frequented Dy rebels, one town had failen into their hands, and’ the Joyal forces of the government had been most disastrously defeated.

The inquest on the body of Michael Sheban, of whose death we gave the full particulars yesterday, was con. tinued yesterday at the First ward station house, by Coro- ner Counery. The following is a synopsis of the evidence taken:— Ellen Shehan sworn—I live at No, 7 Rector street; am the sister of the deceased; he told me, a week ago last Tuesday night, he was in the liquor store corner of Pearl street and New Bowery, with Patrick Murray, John Fagan and another man, whose name I do not remember; they asked bim to treat, and he did so; after which he offered in payment for the drinks a $2 bill on the Shoe and Teather Bank; the barkeeper said the Dill was a counterfeit, and my brother told him he lied; the bar- keeper then handed the bill toJohn Fagan, who pretended to compare it with the Rank Note Detector, and pronounc- ed it acounterfeit; my brother replied that it was a lie, upon which Murray kicked him in the groin, from the ef- fects of which he fell senseless to the floor; Fagan took hold of my brother, and said he was dead, while Murray insisted he was only “gammoning,” they took him into the entry, and laying him on the floor, brought lighted papers from the stove and placed them on his bobts; they: also placed segar lighters between his fingers and set fre to them; his boots were burned on his feet; his hands were also injured by the fire; after atime they took him back inte the barroom and attempted to pour gin down his throat; Mr. Berery, the proprietor of the place, came* down stairs, and said he would not permit them to treat the deceased in such a way; the tbree men who had been most active in maltreating him, had atthe same time left; Mr. Bercry then laid the deceased on sofa in the bar, and he lay there all night; in the morning he asked him if he wanted to be taken to the City Hospital, but the deceased said he would goto his sister’s, and he was taken to my house Care if oad Dr. Mone}! to attend him, but he died at 8 o’cloce Thursday morning; my brother attributed his condition to the treatment be re- ceived at the liquor saloon. * Martin H. Dixon, of No. 85 Greenwich street, also testi- fled, but bis statement simply confirmed the evidence of the deceased's sister. Sh ever, declined having his assailants arrested, eaying, ‘I will leave thom to God, ag Thave not long to live.” Witness testified that the de- ceased was always a temperate man. John Crosby gave, substantially, the same evidence as the proce ing witness. tm. Bereny ,the proprietor of the liquor saloon, was next examined, and stated that Pat. Murray was his brother in jaw and partner; on the night of the disturbance he woot to bed shortly after 11 o'clock; hearing an unusual noise in the barroom, he got up and went below, where he found Shehan lying on the floor; Edward Mi J Fagan ond my brother-in-law were in the root took fe awry g and him on the sofa, when he com. plained of being hich he attributed to liquor, as he was stupidly drunk af the time; he heard nothing of She- han having been kicked cr of the $2 counterfeit bill, but Before Hon. Judge Culver. DECISIONS. Jan. 2.—The following decisions were rendered by the Court on Saturday afternoon:— Chas. O. Lincoln vs. Jesse 8. Smith.—Case settled. Wm. L. Lyon vs. The City of Brooklyn and Elisha W. Hinman.—Judgment for plaintiff, overruling demurrer, with leave to defendants to withdraw and answer on pay- ‘ment of costs. Catharine A. ‘Thomas, by her next Friend, ve, John Thomas.—Ordered that a new trial be graated on payment of costs of former trial and costs of opposing motion. W. Wood vs. Noah W.

William Johnston and Others.—In this case the Court delivered the et oe —This 13 a motion for » new tria! upon the J minutes, under ection 265 of the Code. The action was by the father for damages by reeson of the death of his infant child, five year’s old, which strayed the unenclosed premises of defendants, m the chy of Brooklyn, and was drowned rn thereon. eo dam jury, and ly point worthy of consideration on this motion is the negligence of the plaint#f in allowing the child to stray on the defendants’ lot. In other words, whether the child, being a technical trespasser, an action can be maintained by the father for the injury.” Lam aware this is # class of cages originating in the country where streets are wide, farm lands extensive and playground abun- dant, holding that the injured trespasser cannot maintain an action, (1 Cowen, R. 78and cages.) But I have been referred to no case by counsel, nor do I believe any case can be found, applying this doctrine to city lots. Real estate here is Lecessarily cut up into small subdivisions. Houses and premises are contiguous to each other, and to streets, alleys, lanes and thoroughfares. Streets are thronged with vehicles, rendering it unsafe for foot pas- fengers, egpecially children, to travel on them; sidewalks become necessary. e sidewalks are in direct con- tguity with lots, and if thee lots be open and unenclosed, especially if no flagging stones have been }aid (as in this case), there will be constant liability on the part of those pnd to cross the invisible line besween streets and lots. wing such premises, therefore, unenclozed, with pit- falls, open wells or cisterns could neither be deemed safe nor prudent. The open lot in this case was also a corner lot, and the evidence showed that a path was to some ex- tent used running diagonally across the lot and very near the open cistern. Children played on this as well as other vacant lots. The defendant on one occasion saw children looking down into this cistern and ballooing therein, and ordered them away. It was proven that defendant con- sidered it unsafe, and several times covered it over; that the covering was removed, but that he put no enciosure around the lot or the cistern after the fire, leaving them in that condition some three or four months. It was not shown that the child had any knowledge of that cistern. ‘The father testified that he himself did not know of it un- tl his child was drowned. Tam not prepared, therefore, to say tbat permitting this boy to play on the sidewalks with. others, or upon unenclosed lots in direct proximity with those sidewalks, or that the child, in passing over or play- ing upon these open premises, was guilty of such negli- gence as would deprive the father of his right to damages for the death of his child. The father, in the absence of any knowledge of the fact, had mo reason to presume there were sbares or pitfalls, open wells, cesspools or cis- terns on @ vacant city lot at the corner of two public streets, The child was too young to exercise much rea- son or judgment about the matter. The negligence of the defendants and that of the plawtiff, as well as that of the child, was all submitted to the jury. They bave found that plaintiff allowed his child to play where other pru- dent parents in cities allow their children to play, and that ‘the child played upon and passed over vacant lots as the children of prudent parents do. I am not disposed to gainsay their fading. The motion to set aside the verdict and for 4 new trial must be denied, but without costs. George W. Wood ws. Noah W. Duryea.—Judgment or- dered for $208 62. wut City News. Suoomse Arrnay.—-On New Year's night a gang of row- dies entered a porter house in Ewen street, and com- menced creatipg a disturbance. A German, named George Betz, attempted to detain them in the house for the purpose of causing their arrest; but they suc- ceeded in forcing their way out, when one of the party turned and discharged @ pistol. The ball took effect upon Betz’s forehead, causing a flesh wound upon the ekull. On Saturday some six or sevenof the gang were arrested, but = they were allowed to go at large by Justice ‘eeke, Ob the promise of appearing as witnesses against Joseph Kekert, who they state was the person that dis- charged the pistol.

Daniel Rrady, of No. 98 Trinity place, a cousin of the disceased, wetified to the samme facts as were related by the sistor of Shehan, with the sddition that the aseaunnts of deceased kicked and struck him a number of timed after he was down; also that ope of the imen foll with his whole weight upon boo ag Patrick Murray stated that he was a part proprigtor of the Cope he came to the store about half-nast eleven and Sheban wes with hi | he wished the de- geod-nlght al “the oir, ‘wut Sheban asked him to treat, ar he was dry; at this time he was so much onder the influence of liquor that he could Hot stand straight, be openend the door and let She- han in, when they drank seme gin; Edward Murray and Joba Fagan came into the store in a few minutes; neither | of them asked Shehan to treat; there was no card play- | ing; on the deceased recognizing my brother and | he moved from the bar, and in doing so fell upon the floor, | and Fagan fell upon him; Fagan then said “Come, let us | light a cegar paper, and wake him up:? they placed a Kighted paper upon his boots, but none between his Gngers; Mr. Bercry came in and put the lighted paper out; the deceased gave him a $2 bill; he did not aay it ‘was counterfeit did not show it to any one; ne attempt wax made to foree liquor down his throat, ‘Tho testimony of the physician we havo already given. ‘The case was then adjourned over until this morning at 9 o'clock.
