This is done by ‘Zaloaga for reasons best known to the government here, and it will be a serious inconvenience and loss to a great many. € vho commands the forces on the route from Cordova and the Chiquibuites, has ordered the stages to discontinue running, and no mails will be allow ed to pass. The “extraordinary,” or courier, with despatches by the English steamer, it is believed will not be interrupted. A ersis must shortly take place, but which way the scales may be turned remains to be seen. By special order of the President a diligence will take down to Vera Cruz the railway engineers who are bound home to the United States. The President does not desire to interrupt, in any way, the progress of the railroad, which is looked upon by all parties (most creditably to he Mexicans) as a great national enterprise; and if as few obstacies are thrown in the way of its construction as have taken place since the commencement of the loca tion and sarveys—a period of sad troubles to the nation— you may be satisfied that a railroad will be built from Vera Cruz to the city of Mexico, The field work of the explorations and surveys that has been carried on under the direction of ol. Andrew Talcott, the last eight months, for the Mexico and Pacitk Railroad Company, extending from the port of Vera ¢ to the city of Mexico, is completed, and in a short w the report and maps wil! be published, and mach valuable and interesting information will no doubt be made public.

No, no—so iong as an ox is left for torajo or a pound of frijoles can be got by military contribution, these fellows will not come down to an honest living. In the meantime all foreign nations may look on. Those who feel it their duty to enforce compliance with the treaties Mexico has imade with them—such nations as have foreign policies and deem it their duty to protect their citizens—may interfere. But I fear that after all the brag about manifest destiny, Monroc doctrine, and the Lord knows what all, the great American people will ze their sacred obligations to their fellow citizens in place, and in th nd piace let Mixico slip from s, @ uot forever.

Political matters are unchanged, Vera Cruz being still under siege, and the conservative ‘army still threatening to attack aud carry the city by storm, which, by the by, they cannot do—neither will they ever attempt it. Our Minister, Hon, John Forsyth, is hourly expected here with his family, to embark on board the United States sioop-of war Plymouth for the United States. The Plymouth reached here from Greytown on the 19th o September, and after learning that Mr, Forsyth could not come down before the 14th of this month (October), Cap: tain Dahlgren, acting upon the suggestion of Mr. Forsyth made a short cruise to Tampico, as well to avoid the vomito as lo show the United States flag off that port. When the Plymouth arrived at the bar off Tampico, and Capt. Dahigren made an official visit to the place, he found he had arrived in good season to protest aguunst most villanous outrages committed upon citizens of the United States by that outlawed bandit Garza, who now has pos session of Tampico. Capt. Dahlgren called Garza to a rigid account tor bis conduct, and obtained from him a promise to make fuil reparation to those United States citizens he bad injured. The insult to the United States flag by Garza Capt. Dabigren did not settle, as it is a mat: ter for his government to dispose of. Gen. Garra is one of the leaders of the liberal party, and acknowledges obedience to the Juarez government al Vera Cruz. It is just and proper to say that when Capt. Dahigren called upon President Juarez to ascertain whe- ther he approved the conduct of Gi both he and his Minister of War and Foreign Relations, Decampo, promptly condemned the conduct of Garza, anu also pro: mised prompt amendment.

The vext moruing (Sunday, the 26th instant) Garza sent his aid de camp to invite the merchants to go to the Com- missariat. Some twenty merchants went, and the Cor missary placed before them promssory notes at five days sight for their respective quotas of the forced loan. They reiused to affix their signatures, and were marched of to the barracks, where they were imprisoned in a small, damp, loathsome room, without water, food or bedding.

Scouting parties were despatched to all quarters of the State to raise troops; husbands were dragged from their wives; fathers were torn from their helpless and destitute families; and the only son left to support an aged and infirin widow was snatched ruthlessly from her embrace, and she left to perish by starvation or beg ‘from her better neighbors, whose condition was no than her own. Soon the entire country was strip- ped of the laboring population; corn ficlis were aban- doned; logwood and mahogany contracts were forfeited; cochineal, tobacco and sugar farms were deserted—all for want of laborers to attend them—and in this manner the entire agricultural interests of the State are completely destroyed. Jn this manner affairs went on, until seventy-five or a hundred unfortunate creatures who had eluded the chase of Surlat, headed by « daring fellow by the name of Ma. gillanes, determi to puta stop to the proceedings of the de executive.

Trade is completely stopped, and has been 50 for the last month, In the meantime Surlat is busily engaged in fortifying the place in a most unscientiic Manner, and circulating the most slanderous reports about Corso. A few days ago the American Consul received an official communication from Surlat, stating that he had been ofticiaily warned by Governor Corso that when he (Corso) would enter Tabasco he would not respect the rights or property of American citizens, Or any other strangers. This every one pro- nounced a lie But from the course he (Suriat) immedi- ately instituted, it ts evident that he is the one who does not respect the rights of American citizena, This falsehood against Corso was only intended toshield his own infamous doings, for on the next day the residence of an American citizen, Dr. Rush, who was then absent from ‘Tabasco on private business, was broken open and made a barracks 67, his books, clothing, instruments, furniture, &c., &e., seattered tu all directions, In a very few days two other ‘iven out of their houses, which were ito hospitals. One of the latter was a poor converted widow lady. Appiication was made to the American Con- sui on the Subj e auswer received Was, that Sur lat had a right todo so. While these outrages were com mitted on disturbed. exc The forees of Suviat amount to 350, two-thirds of whom liberals, amd only waiting the nearer approach of oto desert. The steamer which pronounces some time ago in favor of Zuloaga, is now here, having no other refuge. She is iu almost a useless condition, her boilers being neariy eaten through, and before the attack of Cor- so the river wil! have fallen so tow that her swivels will be entirely useless. The cfficers she brought here from Tampico have ali made their way, in disguise, into the in terior, excepting a few subordinates who had not meaus to take them away. The American Consul,a few days ago, was informed that a battery would be erected in the rear of his house, against which he stoutly protested, stating that it would draw the fire of the invaders, and his family would be killed. But of course, if Surlat had a right to turn Ameri- can citizens out of their houses and convert them into bar. racks and hospitals, he had a right to place a battery in rear of the residence of the Consul. Surlat is a man of about fifty years of age, and presents a beautiful mixture of mulatto and I a blood , Tue forces of Corso are represented at between one and two thousand, and are within one day's march of Tabasco. Corso is a man of about five fect eleven inches high, far complexion, with black beard, and in the very prime of life; and, in point of family consideration education and talent, is decidedly the most superior man between the Isthmus of Panama and the capital of Mexico. ‘A few days ago a meeting was held by the Spanish mer- chants of piace, the object of which was to charter a schooner and despatch her immediately m search of a Span- ish man-of-war, inform her of thei extremely perilous situation, and beg her to come to the rescue of their lives merican citizens, Hot one of the natives was except and property. Accordingly the schooner proceeded on her mission, but I very much dread that, before she dads the poor Spaniards will have pad necessary aid, many of the the penalty of their rashuegs and At this moment all the stores are closed and their con tents despatched to the most convenient hiding plac, (except those under foreign protection.) and nothing is talked of but the dreadful attack of the Cochines—as the forces are calied. In the meantime, Corso is calmly ‘awaiting the arrival of artillery of heavy calibre from. Vera Cruz to attack the place, Surlat has twelve pieces of aye ny various calibre, from four to twelve pound- ers. He also received, by the schooner William W. Harkness, which has just arrived from New Orleans, and sousigned to the house of Payro, six or eight cases of United States muskets; but they are comparatively worthless, from the fact that the powder used is too Coarse to penetrate the tubes.

A Double Tragedy in Philadelphia, A MAN SMOTHERED IN A CHIMNEY —SUICIDE OF 118 MISTRESS. (From the Philade!phia Bulletin, Nov. 2.) Between seveu and eight o'clock last evening, a young man aged twenty-two, named Richard Dillon, was smothered (o death i a chimney of a house of bad cha- racter, known as “ Mrs. Price's,’ in Shippen street, a few doors below Fourth, north side. His death was the result of Lis own recklessness and passion, and occurred ip the following manner, as nearly as the facts could be gleaned from the people about the house, who were un willing to give any informat to the reporters, thus forcing them to gather their facts from the disjointed and contradictory statements and conversations which weat on in the room where the voung man lay dead:— Thben is a plasterer. His mother and sister reside near Fifth and Carpenter streets. For quite a long time Dillon bad been living with a woman as his mistress. We heard her name mentioned at the scene of the accident, coupled with the remark uttered by a thppant young girl, that “ Anme —— would not be back from the bh in time to see Dick.” but we do not know left hit not long sines at Mrs. Price's. ing’ with a compan “black jacks" This Was abo xt secu, between seven and eight o'clock, at Price's, and he declared that his mistress was stairs with another man, and be would see her. shing up the nar 1) stairs, from the front room on the lower story (Ww nore is a bar), Dill the door of the tlird story room where he supped woman” was, 4.

Here bis cries were heard, ae well as the noise of the detached bricks and mortar which fell on the tire place in the lower story. Efforts were at ouce made to reacue him by tress of the house and by neigabors, but although he once held on to a rope which was let down to bim, he could not be drawn up, and was finally rescued by breaking into the brick work of the chim about thre nut he was drawn out alive, but he d.ed soon after being carried into the room into which he bad tried to get. Here we saw his body, and b's sister, « good looking young woman of pout twenty, Weeping bitterly over it, while half a dozen ig ten and wornen discussed the alfair as coolly as if had only been asleep instead of dead. The Coronor Dilon was Mrs. thr ‘cloek. he was quickly seut for, but did not arrive there up to nearly midnight. ase during the night, and ‘owd from entering. We are obliged to him information i bis possession awhich was cheer. for al! th fully given, rough gore misunderstanding, the Coroner was not informed of the case until early this morning, when he at once proceeded to the spot and held an inquest. dence elicited sustained the statement given above, and a verdict to the eflect that the deceased was accidentally smothered was rendered. It seeme that the girl of whom he was in pursuit, had gone to the theatre at the time be was i house. This event was only the first act in the drama. It seems that Dillon bad another mistress, who lived in Pine alley, and Who went by the name of ‘Anne Smith, an assumed rame. Thlion had quarreled with this girl, and threatened to kill her, and she had declared her intention of drowning herself in consequence of his threats. She declared her intention to commit suicide to several persons daring the evening, and bad gone #0 far as to give away her few effects to different parties, when intelligence the death of Dillon was brought to her. She then said “good bye” to those were about her, and went away. This morning at daybreak ber body was Grund floating in a dock, in the Delaware, between Lombard and South streets. The Coroner was sent for to holt an inquest, and we accom panied that official to the spot. The hoay of the wretched woman was tied to a boat in the dock, and the water as it rippled over her face, wafted her seareety dihevelied hair about apon its surface Upon the wharf hundreds of curious gavers were gathered and among the throng there were many females who be longed to the same avandoned class as the poor suicide, and who seemed attracted to the scene by some irresist) ‘Die attraction. Mothers were there, too, with their little children, all pushing and struggling to look upon the body of the The evi jer death. The body wae finally di out of the river, and laid upon the wharf until the dead cart should arrive. jury was summoned and proceeded to a house near ‘where an inquest was held The we William Barclay, who was sworn and testified ax fol lows —I knew the deceased, but not by name, about hait- past seven o'clock last evening saw her sitting upon a chair on the sidewalk in Pine alley, where she lived: she called me over to ber: T went, and'she told me sho | was in trouble; asked her what her trouble was. and she said tbat a man bad Wareateued to lick or kul ber, aig vy first witness called Bes said abe was to drown herself; I toid her I would not do that; she gaid it was the onl she could do; this was before ‘was killed; the deceased was not in liquor at the time, that I could see; she did uot tell me who the man was who threatened to kill her Maria Welsh sworn—I keep the house where the de- ceased lived; the only name I know for her is Anno; she was sometimes called Anne Smith, but that was not ber proper name; she lived with me four weeks; she would mot tell bor name; she was an Irish girl; she was nineteen or twenty years of age; the man who threatened to kill her was Dick Dillon; he sald he would cave her head in with a black, she said he should not have a chance; she gave away her clothes; the deceased was not the wo: man Dillon was after when he got stuck in the chimuey; the woman he was after had gone to the theatre; as soon as she heard about Dick being sinothered in the chimney she eaid “good bye,” and went away; the deceased had a gister who is well oif'and lives somewhere in New Jersey. ‘The jury rendered a verdict that the deceased cominit- ted suicide by drowning. Dillon seems to have been bent upon mischief at the time he met his death, and the sacrifice of his life, proba- bly prevented the commission of a serious crime. The atin is a singular one, and it has caused a very great ex- citement in the degraded portion of the city where the partics were best known. Dillon had a black jack slung to his wrist at the time he was extricated from the chimney flue, Matters have been somewhat complicated by the arrest of a man named William Berry, who was taken in custody last night on the charge of having thrown the woman overboard. The hands on a vessel declare they heard Berry threaten the woman before they heard her fuil into the water. Berry was held for a further hearing. Shipwreck and Loss of Eight Lives. The packet ship Isaac Bell, Capt. Johnston, arrived here yesterday from London, bringing the survivors of the British bark Claude, six ia all, who were rescued from that vessel by the exertions of Capt. Johnston and crew. The following are the particulars of the wreck of the ves- sel and loss of eight lives, including the captain's wife:— ‘The British bark Claude, of Shoreham, Captain Charles Chessell, 344 tons register, sailed the 18th uit. from Sun- derland, with a full cargo of timber. The first five days of the voyage passed all well. The 28d uit. the wind be gan to blow strong from the west. The 24th the wind shifted suddenly to east to cast-northeast, noon, lat. 45 45 north, lon, 5749 west, sail was shortened to close reef topsaiis only, The 26th, strong gales, violent squalls, h sea and rain, banded foretopsail; noon, lat. 44 44, . 57 10, water gaining about two inches an hour, and pumps attended to every halt hour.

About noon, the ship filling fast, the captains wife was taken to the maintop, aad the crew were preparing to follow, when the ship feil over to starboard, aud went down on her broadside, the yards and masts being totally submerged The captain's Wife got entangled in the rigging and was drowned aimost immediately; the whole of the crow were washed off, and only nine out of the thirteen succeeded in hip, which was on her broadside about an hour, uy Which dune three more of the crew were washed off aud lost About oue P.M, the ship getting freed of every thing on deck, and all her masts and yards, except the mainmast and mainyard, righted herself, and the decks began to break up fast. The gale con- tinced all day and night, but the rain ceased. Through the unexpected capsizing of the ship the survi- vors were without tood, water or change of clothes; they were, in fact, absolutely destitute. Tue body of the cap- tain’s wife was still m the rigging, but that was so much torn and the vessel plunged and’ rotied so fearfully that the men could not get at the corpse to bury it in the sea. ‘The next morning the crew were much cramped from clinging to the rigging, and suflered severely from thirst. About il A. M. they saw a vessel standing towards them, about ten miles distant, which proved to be the ship Isaac Bell, Captain Johnston, of New York, who, as soou as the wreck way discovered, being then about tour miles to the windward, bore down towards it As quickly as possible, although the high cross seas and strong wind rendered the undertaking very dangerous, boat was lowered, commanded by Mr. Aldacre, chief officer, and manned by a volunteer erew. The unfortunate survivors were brought safely on board the Isaac Bell in two trips, the weather being too rough to allow the boat to receive more than three in addition to the crew at a time. The body of the captain’s wife was from necessity left in the rigging, greatly to the regret of her unhappy hosband and his men, who were reeetved and treated by Capt. Jobnston with all the kindness and sympathy their thoroughly destitute situation required. SAVED. Charles Chessell, captain, Henry Kizaber, mate. George Lane, Henry Pussey Henry Finnis, Robt.

Imac Rell On. the 28th ultimo, myself the sole survivors of my crew, were on board of the British bark Claude of Shoreham; a ‘.

At noon, in lat, 43 46 N. long. 57 49 W.. as 1 learned on board afterwards, we saw a ship, which proved to be the Isaac Bell to the N. E., and were delighted on observing the ship leaving her course and steering towards ug, long before any one on board ber could tell whether there was a living soul on the wreck. AS speedily as possible they shortened sail and rounded to under our lee, when I suppose they must have seen us clinging to the rigging. In afew minutes we saw a whale the ship, manned by four seamen and the first officer, Mr. Aldacre. The sea run so high, and broke over the wreck, that it was dangerous to approach even on the lee side: we were obliged to jump overboard and were im- mediately picked up by the boat, but although there were ouly six of us, the sea and weather were such as to pre- vent the boat carrying more than three of us at a time, and (bus the boat was compelled to pay the Jangerous vi sit to the wreck twice. While the boat was receiving us Captain Johuston wore his ship round with great skill and judgment, so that when the boat bad to retura she bad but a quarter of a mile to go.
