Jonas & McGint, tunday Mercury. ‘This communication bas been laid before the directors and 1 em instructed to state in reply that the ‘Telegraph Company do not detain the foreign patches of Messrs, Johnson & Zabriskie, telegraph reporters for tho prees, in order that another party may have tbe preterence. The American Telegraph Company are oppored towil preferences in telegraphing, and believe that the system of grantiog preferences should be avo isbed wherever it exists. No party bas apy euch preferen- tial rigbte over the lines of the American Telegraph Com- pany, and the present board will not grant any under any circumstances whatsoever. Messrs Tohngon & Zabriskie have, however, a prefe. rential contract over the tines of the Neva Scotia Com’ pany, which prevents fair competition at the Halifax oflice. Fhe granting ot this preference bas produced so mccb complaint, and even in the hands of the best men is 80 table to abuse, that the American Company have felt bound to protest against it, and to request the Nova Scotia Company aud Johnson & Zabriskie to surrender it, and re- open the Halifax office to fair public competition. Failing to eecure their aseent to this obviously fast, request, the American Company, in order to restore to the public the equality af Sackville, which is lost at Galifax by the ex isience of the preferential right conceded to Jobngon & Zabriekie, adopted the following rego.ution, viz :-— ‘That tbe Superintendent of the frst division of the American line be instructed to detall a tried and faithful agent to the tele: greph office st Halifax whose duty tt ebuil be tv report to the ‘Arent at Sackville that the steamer's vows has been forward. €6 for the party who first tenders it at the effice at Halifez, and ‘uptl' euch report in received at Sackville no steamer’s news bail be transmitted over the American line, unless it shall ve delivered at the office at Sackville by other moans of trang mission than the telegraph line from fax. The effect of this resolution is to place all parties on a par atSackvile. If Jobnson & Zabriskie place the news in our office there by other means than twlegeapb (which being monopo ized by one party must for the protection of the public be excluded) oefore other parties, their a ches will be sent first. We nO prejadice pgainst them, nor partiality in favor of nay otuer party. ‘We occupy and intend 10 occupy a strictly neatral acd impartial porition. If Jobueon & Zabriskie wiil surrender their preferential right on the Nova Scotia lives, ‘this com pay will forward their despatches precisely in the order they are received mt the Halfax office, winout regard to pergons; but so long as they retaia their preference, the present policy wi'l be adhered to as the only jnst solution of the difficulty. Tam instructed to atate in conclusion, that the Directors regret that ao large and respectable a portion of the public preas of this Gouutry ehould euiter by the exiatiog diflical tes, but it must noi be forgotten tha the aifliculty is pro duced solaiy by the indefensible action of tac Nova Scotia Company in granting a preference to Mesers. Johnson & Zabriekie. The American Company respectfully urge upon you to use your influence with these gentlemen to surrender their monopoly at once, and thus terminate this vexatious controversy upon terme which ought to be to the pubiic and all concerned. Your obedient servant, W. H. ABEL, Sec. pro tem, Am. fel. Co. Those who have interests of their own to serve have eu- deavored to hold the American Telegraph Oompany ro- sponsible for the detention of the Europoua news vroaght to Halifax. That company, contending for a great aad im portant principle in telegraphy, are undoubtedly perfect willing to take and fully capable of besring sach reepons!- bility ; but it does not belong to thom ; it belouge to either the New York Associated Pross or the Nova Scotia Tele- graph Company, and the fermer are impressed with the conviction that the pudiic are now satisfied which of these two parties are in the wrong. What bopee the Philadelphia press, as au associs- tion, have in an adverse solution of the existing dificulty ere manifest enough. One or two indi- vidual members of that association have private inte- reats connected with the telegraphic lines, in which they are large shareholders and managers. Theso gentiemen may have intorests superior to those of the association of which they are members, and superior even to thoee of the public, but they have always contended for the very principle now at issue, and always expressed their deter mination that no other rule ehould govern their lines than that of first ¢ome should be firat served. Ten or twelve years experience in telegrapbing has, indeed, made this principle almost as fixed and immutable as a law of na sure, Why, then, do the Philadelphia pross complain? Not, assuredly, because of the cost of the European news to them, because the sum they pay is so insignificant as to Preclude such an idea. But if this insignificant sum is to burdensome, why do the journals of that city con- tinue to take news of the agents of the other press of the country ? The New York Association will leave the matter for the public to decide. Personal Intelligence.

OUR CITY OF MEXICO CORRESPONDENCE. Mexico, Jaly 20, 1859, The Great Financial Scheme of Miramn—Thizty Millions Y Dollars to be Raised by Texes and a Bank—New Pape Ourrency—arming of tne Clergy, de. We bave at inst the great financial scheme commenced by abolishing sixteen different imposts. You may jadg> of the umber of imposts this poor unfortunate covutry 8 industry has been subjected to when sixteen can be knocked oif without touching forced loans, alcadaias o) apy of the most oppressive taxes, The a'cabalas are aleo to be abolished aad the tarilf! much reduced. To make up for these grave prejasioes to the nesoaal revenue the country is to be subjected to a direct taxation of a very heavy character. This direct texation is to fall on the popu'ation is the shape of a weaith and capitation tax, iD sume varying from $9 to $1,500, acoording to wealth and position. From this source the government expecw to ain $30,000,000 at on: Besides this heavy taxation—which in placed out of the question, by the fact that the clergy bave only about one- bith of the States and Terrnories—the financial sebemo cuntemplates a national bank, with an iseue of $80,000,000. The cecur.ty for this enormous teeue of paper is to be the nation’s good fain Provided Miramon had the rignt to pledge the wation’s good faith, it is extremely douotful if tbie paper money could be disposed of for Ave per cent, as the old Donos of the interior debt are now selling a the market for olght per cent, and in tbe last year have ought parcbasers at five. The old bonds, as zecurity are Ip ull cate preferable.to the paper of the bew Suancial ftcbeme. the bile of the new paper currency are to have nomms) values, varying from $6 up to $1,000, and sure to draw s'x per cent, and some twelve per cent per apuom, and other are to gain nothing—a funny bank ixeue. Ube forces of the clergy for the first time in tweive months are Dow euperior ip numbers to the forces of the coustitutionalisie, The clergy bave now aboat 20,c00 men in the fleid, distributed ua foliows:— Marquez’e division, ix the region of Guadalsjara... 7,000 Forces of Woll, Valez and *e)ia pear Guapsjuato and Queretaro... 5,000 Garrigon of Mexico, 2,500 Robles’ division at Jalapa . 2,500 Forces at Puebla and Perote. 1,000 Scattered detachments, at lea - 3,000 . 20,000 ot OD Rl ts can raise cver 18,(00,\f that many. The clergy ure clearly gairing ground at present, but this may change, as everything changes in Mexico, Mexico, July 23, 1869. Explosion of Miramon’s Financial Schemes— Defeat of Zua sua by Woll—Advance in the Value of the Interior Debt, do., &e. I avail myself of an extraordinary despatch from the French Legation this morning, to acquaint you of eveste following those detailed in my lewers of the 13th and lush inst. The manifestoos of Miramon and Juares (slreaty forwarded to you) and the manifesto of Videurri (here- with encloged), are now followed in this capital by the complete recantation of Miramon, explosion of hia toxo- cial scheme and his re adhesion to the padres. The clergy are furious, and disposed to carry masters fo extremee. They are determined to make a bold and desperate efforttosave themselves from the rutn Low hauging over their devoted beads. Tnaey have no friendly eye upon foreigners. Taocy accuse them, very properly, of being the authors of all the progressive ideas viloat ip the coummy. A tcrimmage has taken place near Guanajuato bet ween Wol) end Zuazua, in which toe liberals bave beea again besten. Miramon is to be backed by a large sum of money from the clergy to go against San Lois Powosi, He qill assu- redly take the place. There is but one nope for Mexico, and that ‘snot to be founa in the country. Bonds of the interior debs have advanced one per cent (gow at 9) in consequences of the Juarez manitesto. Mexrco, August 1, 1859. Miramen Preparing for a Campaign—The Great Financial Scheme—Government Short of Money~Movements in the Interior--The Banished Englishmen— Where is tae Padre Miranda ?—Difficully with the British Bondholders, €c. Miramon is now making his arrangements for a cam. paign against Sen Luis Potosi. After taking that place he ig to march against Vera Cruz for the second time. The great ‘* financial scheme,” of which I have already given you such lengthened particulars, is a failure in the public estimation, and Miramon came very near kicking ite author for leading bim into such a grand absurdity. He (Miramon) has, however, been operated upon by a get of clever dogs, and the result is the great flaancial scheme is atill extant. Several rogues (no other word can 89 wel! describe them) are now preparing the new paper cur- rency, at the rate of two per cent upon its nominal value, which only amounts to $1,600,000 in hard cagh. They (the rascaie) are zealous enough for the # cers of the “financial scheme,” and I think a person with ordicary discrimination may is cover why, They have sesured tne patrouage of the British and French Minieters, who have agreed to sup- port all traneactions of their supjects in this new paper currency. They have recommended the scheme to thor governments, and they believe their governments will continue supporting the Miramon government ia conse. quence of this wonderful ali paying panacea. Notwithstanding the ‘“fnancial scheme” the govern. ment of Miramon i@ hard pushed for money. Tne clergy are active and will keep the ship of State afloat. From the interior we hear of the movements of consi- derable bodies of constitutional forces, put they have come to no set battle of iate with the forces of the clergy. Marquez, the assassiniof Tacubays, has returned to Gua dalejara, and as a natural consequence the constitution. alists are again iu Tepic. The banished ‘Biglishmen who have not already left for abroad, bave received new orders to leave. Mr. Whitehead, agent of the Britieh bondholders, left here a week glace and goes to Burope by the packet from Vera Cruz tor Southampton. Mr. Potts left by the packet of last month, apd the balance, with their orders from the police to ‘move on,’’ will be taking their aepartures from this time forward. Padre Miranda disappeared from Mexico some two months since. Reports were in circulation that he was in the interior. It now appears these reports were ue, Padre Miranda, the cleverest fellow and greatcat rogue cf all the rogueish priests of sexico, where is he? He is into gome mischief, that is very certain, for he never has been out of that style of thing from his earliest years. My opinion is he ia in Europe seeing what can be done there througa priestly influence to eussain the clergy in power in Mexi co. Ifany man from Mexico can obtain assisvance tor the clergy, the padre Miranda is the man. Some eay he has gone Ww seo Santa Anna, to cook uyfa business with him. ‘There has been e EuRDDliBg about the British con- vention. It appears the agents have made, without au- thority, an expenditure of $60,000 for purposes of corrup. tion They refuse to make statement to the stockhoit- ers in the fund, and the result is several disagreeable facte have leaked out, One is, that $5,000 of the corrup- tion money went to buy a present for Afr.

TROUBLE WiTH THE CROTON WaTER.—The Croton Water Commissioners are engaged In trying to discover the cause of the peculiarly mouldy and disagreeabie flayor which bas been observed in the water in various localities during the past week.

PRICE TWO CENTS. Improvements Down Town. THE WIDBNING OF READE AND DUANE STREBTS, AND EXTENSION OF THE FORMER—THE ADVANTAGES TO BE DERIVED FROM THE WORK—OLD NAMES AND USBS OF THE SPRBLTS, BTC. Ifsome of the old coveys who flourished in these quar- ters about acentury ago, when the present Park was known by the euphonious mame of the “Viachte,” or “Flat,” and when it was forty shillings fine to digs bole therein, or to carry asod of turf therefrom, if some of those unsophisticated individuals could but take on ‘this mortal coil”? once more, and indulge in @ promenade ‘Wrough the principal streets of our metropolis, how amazed the simple old fellows would be, to be sure, at the wondrous changes which have taken place while they peacetully and quietly have been slumbering im their graves. Vainly would they scek for their New Am#er- dam in our prevent gigantic and prosperous city—not a twace of {t would they find, and they would be more puz aed in wandering from the Battery to the Park than was ‘the famous Rip Van Winkle on returning to the home of his childhood after his tremendous snooze of nearly a quarter of acentury. It is easy to conceive that the astonishment of ovr Dutch ancestors would not be slight. Everybody is aware of the fect that this New York of ours is ‘a retty large vill ? that it is prog: Tapidiy, and pegs cole abead still faster, every avail- able piece of jana is allowed up in Se growth and it be- comes the gieat metropolis of universe. But only cge Who are absent from the city five or six yoars at a ich can fully realize the vast changes that are occur- ring daily, apd the mighty improvements which are being éffectea in certain localities, almost entirely altering its aspect. Ten, even eight years ago, most of the streets west of Broadway. trom ‘trinity church to Canal street, were filled with oid fashioned private residences. At present there is acarce a vestige of tbem left, and Barclay sireet, Park piace, Murray, Warren and Chambers streets, are eatirely monopolized by immense wholesale mercan- le eetablichmenis, built privcipaily of wi marble or brown atone, and. from their ubusual regularity in alze wud style, decidediy§ orcamental to this portion of the an "Yiah now there are two works of improvement in pro: grees which teex calculated to evhance greatly the value Of property in the neighborhood ot the above stecete, and Hkewike 0 aod tepfoid to the beauty of ite appearance. Allusicu is made to the widening of Reade and Duane streets, and the extension of tue former easterly 0 far as Chattam To the west of Broadway, Daase street bas alreavy been widened, aud now presenis the sppesrance of a fue broad street, aixty five feet in width, through which wn upinterrupted view can be bad from the leadieg | thoroughfare of the city, clear over to Washington street, westerly. It is now proposed to make the street of @ uni form width, as nearly as practicabie, trom Broadway to Obatbam sireet, and to extend Reade street to the game termine s easterly wicening it twenty-two feet at the novtherly sige, which will give ia breadth, when doally completed oj some sixty three feet, at a rough estimate. The leveliers are at present actively at work in bow streets with upsparing crowbars and piekaxes, tearing down the§ buildings, or rather those portions of tham marked out for demolition, and deemed necessary to obtain the proposed wicth. In their existing coadition it is a fea of some daring to travel through the streets, for one runs the risk of getting a broken head from the falling stones, timber, mortar, &2 , or of siumd- ung over tbe pics of rubbish into the mud gutters, where 4 gratuitous polisb, more shining than orpamental to the exterior pereop, in almost every case is iaevitable.

The day was @ most delicious one: the atmospbere soft, warm, and perfumed, like the breath of Jovely woman (with good teeth); and the promenade was thropged with equipeges, in many of which the yasht In the evening there is to bea‘ hop” at the Ocean House, to dress for which we all goon board. Dressing for a ball on board a yacht is a humorous affair to think of afterward, though not quite so convenient an affair at the ume. Things are got out of the moa: extraordinary —, and the toilette is performed under the most uneard o @ifficulties; and then, when the man is quite finiened, the Jagt exquisite elaboration given to the immaculate cravat, a Flip wn getting into or oot or the yawl which takes you onshore may, like tne storm which sweeps away in the night the work of years, lestroy the edifice on which the hope of coaquest has been builded. But, accidents apart, we are ali supposed to be safely arrived at Ocean Hall, which is weil Lghted and b mmely decorated. It is the upper story of what is calied the Colony, the place where they put that much persecuted race, the bachelors. And, apropos to that, I remember hearing a conversation ‘one morning after a hop in this same Colony :—One of the early bircs had called for his frieni to join him in a ma- tutinal drive, and while they were discussing the mat- ter in the hal',ayotary of the ligbt fantastic, who had been arcused from’ hia first sleep by the noise of the voices, cried out ‘I don’t see why gentlemen can’t let gentlemen ep in the morning ’’ [he other replied, “And I don’t see why gentemen will dance over other gentlemen’s hesds ail might.” So it eeemed about an even thing. ‘The gentit men who retired early must have had a hard time of it last ight. Toe hours here are getting later every year. Peopie used to go to ahop at balf-past eight; bow they make it haif past ten or eleven; and what with an hour or more of :be Germen, the affair is'nt over till the sivgle xeptleman who don’t dance is thinking about gelting up for his path. The hop was like ali the other hops I ever saw, and that ig good many ‘The irroption of the mariners was a god- a to the ladies, who found plenty of good dancers smeng them. Tbe lacies were all pretty, well bred and Weil dressed—some of them more so. Tne weather svited the hight, gauzy floating dodge, the bewildering ad- mixture of Muslin, Isces and ribbons which makes even an ugly women look pretty. One thing I noticed here ag wey snd Zim, on both sides between and City Ball place, and between the latter street and Chatham ten tect of 3t. Andrew's Roman Catholis church | wil de cut off, leaving Sweeney’s Hotel and the butlding | acjowing it imonched.

They never find out till Ancy get old bow they ought to bave dressed themselves when they were young. Tbey are always five of ten years bebind the tme. I meen of course to except the Clever ones. Butmen are afraid of them, as women are of c.ever men. Suen are the reflections of a philosopher on hops in | €Xtene Reade street, defeated the project. At the north- | east corner of Eim sod Doone street, the larga building owned by Mr. H. McKenna is to be moved back twenty- five feet, while enly a *mall sliee will bo taken off the Columbien toundry adjoining it. As already stated, the oppr site or southerly side of the street, between Elm and Cny Hall piace, w:l be widened, while the enme side, west of Elm street, wil! rematn in ite present condition. What the object or these curious widenings 1a it is difficult to conceive, for there appesr to be no naturel obstacles to following a straight lime. The opposition of property owners to having their buildings toucted probably fur- nishes @ key to the whoie arrangement. Certain it is, at all events, that while the street generally will be bene. fitted by the opening, these deviations from the straight line will give a somewha! awkward appearance to tast portion of it between Eim and Chatham. The Ne of the southern side of the street, between Vity Hall and Chatham, is knocked down by the extension of Reade, 80 that the latter street and Duane will bere form but one splondia avenue, one bundred and ten fe.t ia wiith along Gty Hall place. By this junction of the two streets two triavguiar collections of house will be left standing—one formed by Duane, Centre, Rease and City Hall place; tne | other by Chambere, Centre, City Hall pace and Reade. When the contemplated extention of Chambers street to James’ Slip is effected, there will thos be a clear passage through Duane, Reade and Chambers streets, each atmoat in a airect line, from the extreme west side of the city to the East river. It is not necessary to pass eat the advan- teges which will thus be afforded to travel by foot and by horse across the city, and the facilities it will give to buginess generally. Splendid etractures are al Tendy begining to spring up amid the ruins of the old ones, and in Reade etrect, between Sroadway and Courch | ttreet, there 18 nearly balfa block of new marble front Dullaipge now erected. So it will be in both streets, when toey are completed, which may be in another year The new, gay, dashing etyle cf urcbitesture in which our modern American store boures and menufactories are built 7 edifices, which and must now succumb to the in- exorable ees of the pipeteenth century. Little lees than a century ago a large portion of the ground on which now stands Daane and Reade streets, was Ovovpied as a negroes burial ground. The present mar- ble store of Stewart, corner Broadway and Reade, occupies ® portion of the earth enciored within the ceme- tery. 'y far from Duane street, near Cen- tre, stood in 1756 the comman gallows where cri mipale were executed, and in 1784 the whole place about where Reade and Duane streets are, was known by the name of the Ralch hook, and Chatham street was the bigh road to Boston. What a variety of changes have since transpired! The only trace of similarity be- tween the then and the now ie afforaed by the devotion ‘with which tbe colored race seem to have clung about their old baunts on Dusne and Reade streets, in tne vici pity of West Broadway. There a hundred years ago were interred the remains of the negroes of those times, and there to day stil) flourish the aescendants of * the good old stock”’ in all the grandeur of able color, ivory masticators, woolly heads and fragrant odors. I these colored individuals are not true Americans, we should like to know who are? The coat of theze improvements will probably amount to something Iike a million and a half of dollars, but the benefits which will be derived will far exceed this compa- ratively trifling amount.
