In view of the stoppage of the expedi- tionary vesse] Alice Tainter, and the consequent excitement at Mobile, this grouping together of the Princips! facts cannot fail to prove highly interest- ing. We have advices from the city of Mexico to the Gth and Vera Cruz to the 9th inst. Mr. Porsyth had been grossly insulted, by ordar of President Zuloaga, while on his route from the capital to Vera Cruz, on bis way home. The constitutionalists had endeavored to take Mexico by a coup de main on the loth ult., but had failed, and retreated with loss, Great excitement was caused by the pre- parations of Spain against Tampico and Vera Cruz. The Zuloaga government looked upon them with hope, but President Juarez had issued a pro- clamation calling upon the citizens to cise every- where against the threatened Spanish invasion. Gen. Robles was at Jalapa, and it was ramored that he would soon be proclaimed President by a new Ppronunciamicno. The church party was making preparations to attack Vera Cruz. The govern- meut had again demanded of foreigners the pay- ment of the forced contribution in the capital. A despatch from New Orleans announces the ar- rival below that city on Saturday of the steamer Quaker City, from Minititlan, with mails and pas- sengers that lef Sau Prancisco on the Sth instant. ‘They were but fifteen days in making the trip, in- cluding forty hours occupied in crossing the Isthmus of Tehuantepec. We have news om South America, dated at Buenos Ayres the 27th and Montevideo the 30th of September, Rio Janiero the 10th, Bahia the Lith and Pernambuco tie 16th of October. President Lopez was blocking up the lower end of the Para- guay river with lines of sunken stakes, #0 as to pre- vent, if possible, the entrance of the United States war vessels, soime reports state that he will de fend his posit with great tenacity. The firm of “owes, Son X Co. had suspended payment at Rio. ffee supplies w eve veryimoderate there, and prices Lad advanced 160 reals per arrobe in all grades. Ground sugars had advanced in price. At Bahia the #tock of sugars was small. Last transactions were at 2.700 per arrobe for browns, aud 3,100 for whites. Coffee in brik demand, end stocks of Bahia cleared 3 20. Trade was dull at Pernambuco. Sugar supply small. Twenty thousand barrels of flour were on hand. From the west coast ofAfrica we have advices Gated at Monro the 14th, and Sierra Leone the 1th of October. The rains were over at Sierra Leone, and the Shervoro settled satisfactorily. ‘Trade was dull at the Cameroons, and entirely sus- pended at Bonny and Accra. A correspondent in the Gadsden’s Purchase asks us to Correct a mistake made in a recent communi- cation of his in reference to the population of the Mexican portion of the Mesilla Valley. It should have been from seven to eight thousaud instead of from seventeen to eighteen hundred. We conginue to<ioy our interesting accounts of the damage by the recent Atlantic harricanes, giving sdditioval names of vessels injured, and extracts from the St. Thomas Times with particu lars of the new cases reported.

Dr. Cheever delivered a discourse in the Church of the Poritens last evening, to a large and attentive audience, upon the “Right of the Bible in our Public Schools.” The Doctor was very caustic against those who are opposed to hav: ing the Bible in our common schools; he considered its presence there as the only sure means of ob- taining a well conducted and moral society, of pre- venting crime, the use of prisons and hanging.

Od | NEW YORK HERALD, MONDAY, The Breaking Up of the Walker Filibasters— The Conduct of Engiard. ‘The firm course which Mr. Buchanan bas pur- sned has evidently laid over the plans of the fili- busters for a long time, if it has not broken them up finally. There will be no invasion of Nicar- agua by General Walker at least, and President Martinez may lay aside his fears on that ecore, and thank our government that he is enabled to do 50. But now that the President haa performed his duty on that side, without fear of the threats of the Southern fire-eaters, or any ostensible regard tothe hints of England that she would protect Nicaragua against American invaders if the United States did not, it is time that some notice should be taken of the course England bas pur- sued in this question. We have received infor- mation from many sources that Lord Napier not only intimated to the government the determi- nation of his government to protect Nicaragua, but that be has given expression to similar in- tentions on many occasions in Washington. We do not care a fig what course the British govern- ment intends to pursue in this Central American imbroglio, for we are convinced that it means to cheat in the matier, and that it will fail in the end. But we do not want any of its threats however honeyed may We the terms in which they are conveyed. Tho declaration that British forces would un- dertake to capture any American citizens who might evade the laws here and go to Nicaragua to resuscitate the civil war there, is of itself a reflection on the good faith of our government; and when taken in connection with the declara- tion of England to the government of Nicaragua in reply to the Mora-Martinez call for European assistance, that it will protect that republic against the designs there falsely attributed to the United States, the whole course of Great Britain beeomes insulting in the extreme. It would have been much more consonant with the professions which both the British and French Cabinets have been for a long time making to our government of their acquiescence in the course it had adopted, had they advised Presi- dent Martinez to rely upon the assurances of our government that it would prevent any filibus- tering attempts, instead of giving color to his false accusations against us by promising to pro- tect him against our designs. But while they have been making these professions, they have been also making preparations to head off the American policy so clearly laid down in General Cass’ letter to General Lamar on the peading questions with Nicaragua and Costa Rica. These complications in Central America and the Gulfof Mexico, and the double dealiag of the Anglo-French alliance in their foolish wish te stop our manifest progress southward, are pregnant with future difficulty. The only way fur us tc avoid a war is by exhibitiag the deter mination and being prepared to meet one. So long as England and France can keep usin good humor by fallacious professions at Washington, just se long will they egg on the petty Spanish American Powers to resist our influence. Yet that influence is the only one that can bring them to reason and restore them toa state of peace that will be advantageous to the whole world. Furopean diplomacy amorg them has only tended to foster false ideas of their own importance, stimulate revolutious and engender anarchy, For long years Snglish and French Ministers in those republics were continually plotting against each other. Now they’ unite everywhere in intriguing against the rising in- fluence of the United States. We hope the President will take strong grounds upon al! hese qucetions in his coming message. Let him ask Congress to authorize the purchase of Cuba. Let him lay before it, in strong terms, the state of our relations with Mexico end Central America, and ask for authority to act in the premises in a way that the national honor demands. These two ateps alone will enunciate a policy on our part which we ave accused of following and of not daring to announce. And its enunciation would have more effect in Europe and Spanish-America than twenty years of diplomatic coquetting will attain. It would define our position before the world, end give an energy to our influence which it has never yet possessed. Jot Pisteny Comsisston between Tuk Usrrep States aNp Great Brrracy.—The mem- bers of this Commission have been sitting in this city for the last ten days, and from what we can gather have brought their labors for the present season to a close, ina maaner entirely satisfuc- tory and harmonious. The Commissioner on the part of the United States is the Hon. Benj. Wiggin, of Bangor, Maine, who was appointed on the first of July last, in the place of G. G. Cushmaa, Esq., re- moved. The Hon. M. 1. Perley, of St. John, N. B., is the Commissioner on the part of Great Britain. The Commissioners are attended by B. D. Cutts, Esq., of Washington, as surveyor to the American Commission, and by Geo. H. Per- ley, Esy., of New Brunswick, as secretary and surveyor to the British Commission. Stace the establishment of the commission, sll the rivers on the mainland of this continent, from the Bay of Chaleur to the Hudson, have been care- fully examined and their mouths defined by lines drawn between prominent points or headlands, thus cettling with precision where the sea fishe- ries end and the river fisheries commence, so as to prevent collisions or disputes between the fishermen of the reepective countries as to their several rights. The rivers of Prince Edward Island have also lwen examined, but awards have not yet been made as toa number of them, in consequence of dif- firences of opinion between the commissioners, which have been referred to an umpire. In the United States the rivers, from the Hudson to the parallel of thirty-six degrees north latitude, re- main to be examined and marked, and in the Britieh possessions the rivers of Canada, Labrador and Newfoundland have yet to be visited. Before the reciprocity treaty was concluded, and the joint commission established under its provisions, we continually heard of collisions with our fishermen and the seizure of their ves- sels by British cruisers for alleged trespasses in fishing within three miles of the land, or within imaginary lines supposed to be drawn from head- land to headland. All this was very provoking. and in 1863 had reached such a pitch, from the number of armed vessels employed by the Impe- rial and Provincial goveraments fur the protec- tion of the fisheries, that there was constant dan- ger of hostilities arising out of this untoward state of things. The joint fishery commission has effectually remedied the evil, and by its action removed all danger of disputes. Armed vessels are no longer employed in looking after pence- able fishermen, who are allowed to pur- sue their avocations in « lawful manner, without the slighest anxiety or fuar of being in NOVEMBER 22, 1858. ed terrupted. The expense of maintaining a great number of armed vessels every season on the shores of the colonies in the fishing districts has been saved to her Majesty’s government, whilst oar own bas been spared the cost and annoyance of sending squadrona of armed vessels to Nova Scotia and the Gulf of St. Lawrence, as was done | in 1852 and 1853. Since the reciprocity treaty went into effect there has not been a single complaint on either side growing out of fishery matters. This is a happy state of things, and one which we hope may long continue. So long as the Fishery Com- mirsion can maintain peace and good will amongst the fishermen, and preserve good order THE OCTOBER ATLANTIC GALES.

That article estimated the total Jos on sea and land at $2,000,000, and as tho details pour in, no reason can be discovered for lessening that estimate, Indeed, if the accounts are not exaggerated, we think it Rot improbaile that even these large figures may be in- creased, Below we continue our record of those damaged vessels whose names bave been reported.

It is far better that such a comfortable und plea- | will be sent to do the same thing with Vera Cruz. It is pr sant condition of things should exist than that the United States and Great Britain should be pointing their guns at each other from the port holes of their men-of-war, leading every one to expect formidable collisions, to the great injury of commerce and the progress of civilization ge- nerally, believed here that a Spanish garrison will be maintained in the fatter city, to support the church party in the capital, which will be eventually extended over the whole country, unless driven out by the federalists. It is no doubt the intention of Spain, under cover of this demon- stration, to protect the entrance of Sania Anna into Mexico, and help him into power there. Persons intimately connected with the Spanish Legation here assert that the intention of Spain is merely torestore order in Mexico by giving tho Gulf seaports to Zuloaga, and that sho wil! withdraw as soon as she has avengod the insults heaped upon her by Juarez and Garza, aud been paid ber elaima. On the Sist of October, President Juarez issued, at Vera Cruz, a virtual declaration of war against Spain, which it is supposed will result in the driv- ing out, or perhaps the murder, of all the Spaniards ip those parts of Moxico where the fodaralists rule, Our government has demanded of Senor Tassara, the Spanish Minister here, explanations of the intentions of his government towards Mexico. The present condition of affairs on the Guif gives the Ca inet considerable alarm. Gur relations with the Zoloaga government are far from being amicable, and it aS enforcing the payment of the forced loan by American citizens which was the cause of the suspension of diplo- matic intercourse. Mr. Forsyth is expected bere to morrow or next day, and it is supposed will be able to throw much light upon our Mexican complications. He was grossly insulted by order of Zeloaga while on his way from the city of Mexico to Vera Crna. Should, Spain succeed in enabling Zaloaga to get possession of the Gulf ports, it is not improbabie that we shall find ourselves involved in a war with both Spain ani Mexico before the approaching session of Con. gress closes. Ta that case events will occur that will rock the world. Lord Nepier and Count Sartiges are both anxious that our goverument shail have confidence in the good inten- tions of Spain, at least until an allied squadron can be got into the Gulf. They profees to believe thut no serious assault upon Mexico is intended by that Power. It is Known here that Louis Napoleon has determined to send a minister to Nicaragua for the purpose of making atreaty fand hoading off the designs that are attributed to this country in reference lo the Transit route through Nicaragua. ‘The statement heretofore published that the government of Spain inteads to erect Cuba into a mogarchy is here laughed at as an absurdity. The Union publishes today Judge Douglas’ specch de. livered at Chicago on the 17th inst. without comment. It is considered the first gentle raising of a flag of truce. An eZort will be made as soon as the session of Con- gress has well commeuced to bring Oregon as a State into the Union.

Too Late ty THR Day.—In reply to the late powerful speech of Senator Hammond in behalf of the Union, the seceaeionists of South Carolina have exbumed an old dead letter of R. Barawell Rhett, written two years ago, pleading the ne- cessities of a separate Southern confederacy, and have published it, full length, in the columns of the Charlestoa Mercury. But it comes too late in the day. The conservative slavebolding class of the South have had enough of this secession fury and folly of the. fire-caters. It has failed to pay expenses. They have dis- covered that these restless secession salaman- ders, having little or nothing to lose, but every- thing to gain, from secession, revolution and chaos, ure false lights, and are no longer to be trusted. Senator Hammond, the owner of a thousand slaves, more or less, traly represents the interests and the opinions of what Mr. § ard is pleased to deuominate the “slave oli- garchy;” and in view of the wholesome lessons which they have learned from the Kansas-Ne- braska juggle of Douglas and Pierce, they now stand not less opposed to the secession :mon- strosities of R. Barnwell Rhett than to the new abolition manifesto of William H. Seward. Mr. Rhett bus outlived his day and generativa in South Carolina. Let him retire. vessels that bave arrived here within a few days in dis- twess. Al! their commanders state that very heavy gales bad been experienced, aut we learn that vessels have been s})0ken quite disabled; ono somewhere in the neighborhood of Sombrero trom New York bound to this place, and said to be an English brig; if 0 she will likely prove to be the Hibernia, which was reported to have feit'n week before the Vigilant schooner that arrived here some ime since. Tt is evident that very severe weather has been experienced along the coasts of both North and South America, and that there will continue to arrive many more disabled vessels. The American schooner G. M. Robertson, from Philadelphia, with dates to the 15th from that city, arrived here tast evening; her commander states that gates throughout the voyage. We have had for several days revions to Oct, 23) rough threatening weather, a high sea and heav: showers of rain, which latter, however, was much need- e’—the barometer failing suine three’ lines frequently during the continuance of the weather; but as tho wind kept steadily from the southwest it was contended by A Great Lanp Swinpty.—We are beginging to get at the truth in reference to some of those awful land swindles in the days of poor Pierce. A railway president in lowa—Jones, of the Cen- tral Air Line-—writes, in a letter tendering his resignation, that the cost to his compaay of get- ting the land grant through Congress was seven hundred thousand dollars. It seems that the lobby first had as bribes a portion of the land grauted by the government, but afterwards ex- changed it for stock of the company. Two or three other companies were bled in the same way, making eltogether the sum c? two ulilious of dollars spent to “influence” Congress to de- prive the people of the public domain snd pass it ever to stockjebbers and gambling specula- tors. If there are any honest men in Congress they should huat up the particulars of these swindles. Grants made under such circum- stances are infamous and unblushing plunder- ings of the people, and should be cancelled. Tae Congress PRivting.—One of our old fogy Wall street cotemporaries has at last discovered that the printing of Congress bas become a fruit- fol source of corruption, and that the nuisance ought to be abaled. Cautious, however, in his conclusions, as becometh an old fogy, our cotem- porary for the present has nothing better to recommend than a vigilant watch over these printing jobs as they may soverally come up. This may be well enough; but why stop at the brauches of the tree when the axe should be applicd to the root? Why put off the main ques- tion to some other day, when the present is the season for action? Is our Wall street philosopher looking for a share of these printing spoils some time heroafter, & da “free wool,” or is it in favor of the separation of the government printing from the hangry and corrupt lobby jobbers of the party press? Let us know.

At the Academy, Piccoiomint has repeated ber performances of Zerlina, Sorpina and Marta, and hag also sung al the Orst operatic performance which bas ever taken piace in Brooklyn, and which was a great success in every way. The Piccolomini furore seems to be on the increase as the season draws to a clove, It is claimed that tho réle af Susannah, in the ‘Nozze di Fygaro,” which she sings to-morrow night for the first time in America, is ber best. By some connoiaseuré this Opera is declared to be tho most delightful of Mozart’s works. It is cortainly a novelty hore, and, we should suppose, would be attractive over and above the two nights which the manager announces it for. In addition to the Piccolomini performances, Mme. Gaz- vaniga bas sung Alice in “ Robert le Diable,” and Mme Laborde Isabella in the same opera, and Rosina in the “Barber of Seville,” go that the pcogramme of the wook has been a musical feast of the richest aud most varied «rder, ‘The season will shortly be brought to aclose, there yemaining only a week bofore the artists are announced to appear in Boston. There will be no more Opera after that ‘ime unti! January, when there will be some farewell per- formances for Piccolomini, who goes tothe South. The début of Poinaot in tho “Huguenots” is annoanced for the end of this season, which has beea admirably managed as far as the public are concerned. There will bo no Opera this ovoning, vat the “Nozze di Figaro’ will be produced to morrow, wita Piccolomini as Susannah and Formes as Figaro. The same opera will be repeated on Wednesday. On Thursday the second operatic performance for Brooklyn will include the wholo of the “Barbor of Seville,’ with Laborde as Rosina. The concert season bas commenced in earnest. On ‘Thursday thero was a soirée at Dodworth’s Rooms, by Bernardi, Mme. Landi and others. On the same night the Mendelssohn Union performed “Saint Paul,’ at the Cooper Institute. Also, on Thursday, the Harmonio Society of Brooklyu gave a concert at the Atheneum to a large audience. The first of the Philharmonis concerts of the season took place at Niblo’s Gardea on Saturday, Carl Bergmann replaces Mr. Kisfeld in the conductor's chair. Arthur Napoleon, the pianist, will shortly commence his soirées. Messrs. Mason and ‘Thomas give their first classical matinée at Dodworth’s Hall on Tuesday, at two o'clock. The next concert of the Brooklyn Philharmonic will take piace ou the 11th prox- imo, Lucy Escott has been engaged as the vocalist of the occasion. She is a thoroughly good artist, who has beea prevented, by a series of unfortunate circumstances, from being properly appreciated. We congratulate the direc- tors of the society upon tho engagement of Miss Facott. The connoisseurs of Philadolphia were called upon last week by Mr. Strakosch to hear and enjey the initial r>- presentation of Flotow’s ‘Martha’ (Italian version) im the United States. It was performed three times, but did not attract as full houses as its merits deserved. Our readers will remember that ihe Gpera was written in German, and that during last year ‘the composer prepared the Italian version for the Italieus, Paris, where it was brought out in grand style. [t wae afterwards presented at Covent Garden, and made a great success. The distribution at Paris, London and Philadal- phia was as follows:— Academy: Characters. Les Haliens. Covent Garten, uals 7 son. Mme. Strakoseh. Bariii. Lionel... « Mario... Brigaoli, Wo give these casts simply as a matter of record. The oper: being made of simple Sowing melodies, is of corns much better in Italian than in German. Tho composer has strengthened it whore it was weak, and altogethor improved upon his former work. Mme. Colson madea sengation in Enrichotta, singing it admirably, and playing itas well. Brignoli carried off honors from an audiecee with whieh be is not over and above popular by his exquisite singing of bis romance in the rd act. There isa noble romance for the basso im the last act, which is entirely new, and which will make a sen- gation here if properly sung. The Philadelphia perform ance was, on the whole, good; not perfect, but stilt a Very creditable attempt, and one which would have been received here with a furore, During this week, Mule. Go7zanign will sing at Philadelphia, afer which the soa on will close, and the artists wil! go on a coucert tour in the West, returning in February to give the Opera in Now York, probably at the Academy, The Philadelphians will @o well to make the most of what they have got, ss it is very probable that they will not have any Opera this Year except what Strakosch gives them. Over ang above the “Martha,’’ he gave a cheap opera on Thursday, auda concert on Saterday, at which all the artists, De Withorsl, Colson, Parodi and Brignoli, sung. The city theatres have all had a good week with the Thanksgiving holidays. The only novelty has been the production of Mr. Leland’s “Blue and Cherry” at Wal Jack's, on Thursday, Il is what is called a neat “come- dietta,” and they say that Mr. Leland bas stolen it from the Frewch, Without kuowing where it came from we may say, in parsing, that Mr. Leland is not the sort of person to steal anything from the French. Heor Mr. Bourcieau!t would scorn such am action. However, it w bo matter, “Bloe and Cherry” is a good little piece, well played, and successful. Does anybody want anything more than to sce Mr. Lester, a8 @ very fino gentioman, tortured by Mra.
