Quenso, Oct. 4, 1858. ‘The Norwegian ship Catarina, Captain Funnemark, from Fowey, forty-three days out, arrived yesterday. On the ‘14th of September, at 2 o'clock A. M., in longitude 44 dog. 40 min,, latitude 41 deg. 39 min., the Catarina fell in with the unfortunate steamship Austria, and took from the wreck twenty-two persons in all—sixteen passengers and eix of the crew. In the number is included @ girl about fourteen years of age, On their arrival in Quebec Messrs. Falkenburg and McBlain took them under their care, and will eee to their wants. ‘The following are the names of the saved by the Cata- rina:— ‘SECOND CABIN PASSENGERS, G. Stoepel, Andrew Lundstein.

Near thefore- castle ropes were made fast to chains outside, and to these ‘uumbers cling, but as the flames progressed, one by ‘one gave way, and found a watery grave. On the bowsprit the passengers were laid out tier upon tier, piled one on top of the other, sometimes four deep. This was a last resource, and from this they were finally dri- ven till onty one man remained seated on the extreme end. Eighteen persons got hoid of the chain for the bowsprit stay, and clung to it till four o'clock the follow- ing morning. A seaman clambered from the stay to the Le de and found there was a probability of extinguish. ing what fire was there, and accordingly gave directions to those clinging to the stay to dip portions of their clothing im the sca and pass the game up to him. This was done, und the fire was so far subdued as to render the bowsprit ‘a place of comparative safety. They remained there until the boats from the Catarina picked them off, The following is the statement of Andrew Landeteain, ‘a Swedish parsenger:— About two o’elock P, M.on the 13th of September, when the fire broke out on board of the Austria, I was standing ou deck about amidships, and saw the flames ‘coming up through the windward’ hatch, three or four feet high. On running forward Iperceived the tlaines break- ing through the fore hatches. At that time I saw the Captain rushing upon deck; I saw him take off his coat and run to the gide of the vessol as if he was going to jump over- board. Mr. Sweensea, a Swede, seized him by the arm, pulled him back from the rigging and asked him “What he was going to do?” Tho Cap- tain’s answer was to the effect that he did not know what he was about. The captain then ran aft, and Tiost sight of him, being ou the forepart of the vessel, among tho great bulk of the passengers. I saw that the fire increased rapidly, and that it threatened us in an uvful manner. The passengers were so closely pressed that they Wore pushing one another overboard. Tmanaged to get us far as the rope rigging, and wee hold of a rope made it fast to an eyebolt. With this rope [ made a siing, 80 as tw be able to sit in it about two feet from the’ water. 1 succeeded in doing this about ten minutes after the fire bad broken out. While jn this position, and about three-quarters of an hour after the fire had broken out, I saw, the sore aud mainmast go overboard on the starboard side, and I was in great danger of being knocked off by the yard, which hung on the side of the vessel, and fell into the sea ouly when the rigging was burnt. “Looking around to sce if anything was floating which Tcould lay hold of, I observed the end of the mainmast sticking about two feet out of the water. The Figging on the top cnd of it must have got entangled in the screw. Tlet_ myself down and swam to take hold of this, got on the top of it, and thus succeeded in keeping afloat. At this timo I raw three persons hanging on to tho side of the vessel by roper, and I threw a pong of rope to one of them, who provedgto be cook. I pulled him to me, and belt bim up of me, where w remained the whole night. We saw a number of bodie fwating around us during the night, Until dusk the screw moved slowly round whenever the steamer lifted at th» siern, To prevent myself being burned I was obliged t» take off my coat aud soak it in the sea and put it on my wide. I burned by shoulder once, not being able to pro tect that part of my body. I still suffer from nume- rous burps. When the fire broke out I observed two is in the distance. One of them, a French hove to within about a mile of the burning a about 5 P.M. and sent two boats towards her, but neither of these boats came nearer than bailing distance to the steamer; I saw them picking up persons floating about. They hope on the windward site of the steamer. I saw them only occasionally, when the steamer swung around. The boats were employed in this way until dark, when they returned to the bark. I ceived a light hoisted on her mast till about 10 o'clock. think I saw the same vessel the next morning about 2 A M. On the 14thT saw a ship close to the wreck, which proved to be the Catarina. The ship haying to make a lack to the windward of the steamer, it was about daybreak when tho ae the Quarina sent his Jone boat to pick us up; eighteen persons were then found on the bow- #prit; three, oe pe in the water at the vessel's side, and one aft on the railing of the steamer, A feria retsaized ait night on who bow it, hanglog on the rigging.

The Capital on the Alert—The Reasons Why—A Change Of Government not likely to bring Peace--Doings of the American Minister in Mexico—England Protests against the Forced Loans—The French Minister Ordered Home, This capital, which has for the past five months ap- peared at night like a city of tho dead, has suddenly been made to resound with the cries of sentinels. Since ten o'clock last evening the ery of ‘‘Sentinele alert” has been heard in every direction. At the hour I com- mence this letter (half-past one o’clock A, M.) this city is wrapped in sleep, and the challenges of the sentinels peal forth in a most melancholy strain upon the silence of the night. One who has never heard the “‘Scn-ti-nele a-ler-te!”” yociferated from the stomach of a hungiy, wo-begone ‘Mexican sentinel, cannot conceive the gloominess of the cries that now make hideous the desolation of this capital. The cackle of the Roman geese were manly compared to these horrid cries. * But why this invasion of our midnight silence? Why this extra caution on the part of the government? I shall not attempt to explain in full our real position, for I have no doubt the government has more news than But partially I may set you on the Yesterday documentary evidence was re- ceived here that Tampico had falien into the hands of the liberals; that the troops of the frontier, under General Carbajal, had entered and occupied that place, and that the friends of the government bad been forced to fly; some on @ Mexican war steamer and others on ish Yesterday, also, was received the intel- ligence that the government forces at Tulanci seventy miles from here, had been compietoly used up. ‘The Commandant at that point, without a single com- panion, brought the news of the disaster to the govern. ment. Again: it is known that about 800 federal troops are at Chalcoa place in this valley only distant from here This you may say is quite enough to put tho Zoloaga government on the alert; but it may be that they have news of a character vnfavorable for them from the camps in the interior; for our last reliable ad- vices show that a battle must soon take place between the main armies at a point known as the Paso de San Bartolo, between San Luis Potosi and Guanajuato. But be the mea- sure of disasters for the government more or less, it is clear they have suddenly become exceedingly watchful and manifest signs of fear in the establishment of such rigorous police regulations.

Gutierrez sailed from this por the Slst August, on board the national brig San Pedro, in compliance with decrees of General Castro. ‘The convention alluded to in the decrees was concluded by Mr. M. Berrisbeitia, Minister of Stato of the Republic of Venezuela, and General Carlos Soublette, Chief of the Statf of his Excellency General Castro, and Mr. F. Orme, in the namo of the Vice-Admiral Count Gueydon, Commandor. in-Chief of the allied squadrons (French and English) at Laguayra, Mr. Orme is the new English Charge d’Affaires.

LAGUAYRA, Sept. 8, 1858, What is thought of the Action of the French and English relative lo the Monagas family, &e., &e. This place has been in great agitation for eome days past, the combined fleets of England and France having Dleckaded the port and captured all the coasting vessels, to coerce this government to release ex-Prosident General José Tadeo Monagas and his Prime Minister, Jacinto Gu. tierrez, and the great financier, Juan Giuseipi, to the al- lied forces. This government resisted the surrender of their own citizens, whom the whole nation pronounced as criminals of the deepest dye. Finally a compromise was entered into; this government agreed to send tho crimi- nals away themselves to Martinico, and the two fleets evacuated the port. This was the most arbitrary act ever conceived by any civilized nation, Independent of the murdered victims, robbery of twenty million of doliars by the Monagas fami- ly of the people's money was the principal reason of their detention until they should disgorge. How can the Eng- lish bondholders complain at not being paid after this ar bitrary act of their own government in the protection of Monagas and his ministe: fter appropriating the entire revenue of the country to their use and sending it out of the country for ten yeurs, until the people roee en masse against the usurper?

FRENCH POLITICS IN VENEZUELA. [Translated from the Journal du Havre, Sept. 8, for the New York Hararn. } The American press is very angry, as may be seen by an extract from the New YorK Herarp, which wo quot» on another page, oa the subject of the aititude taken by the fovernment of France and England towards the re. public of Venezuela. That press, which is so ticklish when the respect due to the American flag is in question pretends not to understand that France and England re quire the liberty of the Monagas family only, because i has been stipulated for in a convention entered upon be tween the provisional government at Caracas with the foreign corps diplomatique, and because those "7 wretches, more or less guilty, have been carriod by force from the Freneh legation, on whieh all the forvign minis. tere had hoisted their flys, Setting aside this violation of pledged faith and this outrage of \eternational law, the American press only takes into consideration the antece- dents of the Monzgas administration, which, according to those writers, authorized the country to iudiet the de- faulters of the public treasury. SERIOUS RIOT AT YORKVILLE. Confitet between Italians and Irishmen—One man and four Sericusly Wounded= Recovery of a Large Quantity of Stoten Goods—A Nest of Thieves aud Burglars Bro= ken Up—Coroner’s Inquest upon the Body of Deceased—Interesting Testimony. A serious collision between a number of Italians and Irishmen took place at the Cosmopolitan Garden, in Third avenue, near Seventy eighth street, on Sunday night, Du- ring the progress of the row the Italians used their knives pretty freely, and before the police could render any effee- tive service, no lees than four Irishmen had bitten the dust. One of the wounded died almost immediately after receiving the injury, but the other three yet survive, al- though their recovery is a matter of much uncertainty. The Cosmopolitan, it appeara, is owned by an Italian pamed Dyonisius Oches, and has long been the resort of a large number of Italians living in the upper part of the city. On Sundays, especially, the place is crowded with foreigners of every clime, but the Italian element always prevails, no matter how great the throng may be. On this occasion the riot seems to have been got up for the exclusive benefit of the Italians and Irish men. One Michael Rourke, alias Cherries, was the origin of the difficulty. He was somewhat intoxicated at the time, and in his efforts to dance be stumbled against an Italian woman and knocked her down. This was a signal for a general onslaught upon Rourke and bi# companions. Some twenty-five or thirty of the Italians, all armed with guns, knives and pistols, made @ savage attack upon the Irish, and in less than five minutes Rourke and his companions were completely routed. Four of their number were killed or wounded, viz.: Michael Collum, aged nineteen years, a resident of Fighty-eccond street, between Third and Fourth avenues, ‘was Killed ontright. The deceased was stabbed in the thigh, the knife severing the femoral artery ,caueing death im a few minutes after receiving the wound, Edward Burne, residing in Third avenue, near Eightieth street (Battle r , wounded in the back. He was stab- bed between the fourth and fifth ribs, the ke near the spinal column, and inflicting Patrick Tracy, residing Second and Third the head and neck.

A platoon of men was despatched to the garden, when it was- found that the doors of the saloon were ail locked and bolted.

It was, about two weeks ago when information first reached this city that a veesel bad been sunk off Montauk Point, under circumstances which ought naturally to arouse suxpicion as to the character of the ship and the designs of the parties seuttling her. United Statee Mar- hal Rynders, immediately on receiving this informa. tion, despatched one of his deputies—Mr. De Angelis—to” Sag Harbor to ascertain what facts he could in regard to the matter. Mr. De Angelis shortly returned, bearing in ormation that a large, flue clipper ship had been scuttled off Moutauk Point; the crew had dispersed into it parts of the country, with the exception of one, died of the African fever and been buried a} New Tondon. Marshal Rynders, upon hearing these facts, despatched Mersrs, Maurice O'Keefe and Theodore Rynders, two of his deputies, in search of the crew of the scuttled ship. They were not long in finding out that three of the men were in this city, A sharp lookout wag kept on these men till early last week, when they wera arrested aud imprisoned, The fact of their arrest was kept secret, eo that thosa who were still at large would not be put on their guard and abscond from justice, The names of those who were engaged in the expedition were gained, and ugon farther information, and after consultation with the United States District Attorney, Marshal Rynders concluded to send the deputics to Boston in search of the remainder of the crew. On arriving at Boston the deputies found two more of the crew, who were placed in temporary charge of the authorities. The officers then went to New Bed which place they arrested the first mate, who was in command of the vessel at the timo she was gcutted. The mate's namo is Macomber, He was found at his house near New Bedford, arrested, and brought to this city. The deputies then returned to Boston and fell in with | very amiable personages, who were so sociable ta 8 that they began to suspect their character and . Their suspicions were right, for t learned shortly afterwards that these gontlemen were friends of the slavers, and had even obtained a writ of habeas corpus to serve upon them, for the cre of having the prison- ers brought up. But the New York officers were too sharp for the Bostonian gentlemen. A hack was red, and the deputies and their prisoners jum . Jehu cracked his whip, and off they flew to the railroad station, which they reacted just in timo to take the cars for New York, successfully escaping the service of the writ upon them, and with it, porsibly a great deal of time and wou- ble, ‘They arrived early on Hunday morning, and at oneo preceeded to Marshal Rynder’s residence in Henry street, Woke him np from a sound sleep, and recounted their ad- ventures to him, at the same tme exhibiting the three isoners whom they had along with them, "ne Marshal ordered them to be locked up in Eldridge street jail forth- with, to await examination, The prisoners keep very silent on the matter, 80 that but littie information bas been obtained from them. Woe are, however, able to give the following facts in r to the matter:—It bas been stated that the namo wae svnttled ship is “Elizabeth, of New Orleans.’ Such i not the case, Her proper name is “Haidee, of New York. The reason why she was published in the newpapers a few days since as the Elizabeth, of New Orleans, is very readily explained by the fact that the persous scuttling her had nailed a piece of canvass pon ber stern, yan was painted in large letters ‘Elizabeth, of ‘New leans.” ‘The Liaidee eailed from this port in January last for Gibraltar. From Gibraltar she went to Cadiz, and from Cadiz to the coast of Africa, There she took in a cargo of laves and made for the West India Islands. She landed y ‘30 in number—near Cardenas, in the island of The vessel thence sailed for Havana, where the captain, owners of the ehip and cargo, left her.

Finnell, Ferguson and Hanlon deposed that they made a pest mortem examination of the body of Callum, and upon dissecting the left thigh they found hat the femoral artery had been cut with a dirk knife, or other sharp pointed instrument, The wound was three inches in depth, aud must have caused almost immediate death. ‘The inquest was here adjourened until ten o'clock this morning. mocracy—Endorsement of the Adininistra- ton.
