Whe New York Herald—Edition for Eerope. ‘The Cunard mal! steamship Asia, Capt. Lott, will leave his port to-morrow, for Liverpool. ‘The European mails will close in this city tomorrow Morning at seven o'clock. The News. We have accounts from Mexico, which, if true, are important. Private letters from Monterey to the 224, and Metamoras to the 26th ult,, state that the church forces had been defeated by the liberals near Salamanca, and that Miramon himself was faken prisoner. A division of Miramon’s troops had also been defeated by Gen. Ortega. Civil war ‘was raging throughout Northern Mexico, where the partisans of Comonfort were making efforts for his return. By the arrival of the overland mail we have ad- vices from San Franciso to the 12th alt., Oregon to the Sth ult., and the Sandwich Islands to the 24th of May. No further difficulty was apprehended from the Indians in the neighborhood of the Washoe mines, and the miners were returning to their cus- lomary employment. Troops were to be stationed at various points for the protection of the settle- ments, and it was expected that the pony express ‘would soon resume its regular trips. The news from San Francisco is devoid of general interest. It was thought that the election in Oregon had re- sulted in the election of Logan to Congress. An arrival at Honoluia, from Jarvis Island, reports the discovery of new and valuable guano deposits in the South Pacific. Mr. 8. W. Williams, Secretary of Legation to hina, das arrived at Washington, bearing the treaty between China and the United States, rati- fied ia duc form, and an autograph letter from the Emperor to the President. Thus, while France and England are preparing for war upon China, our interests in that quarter are steadily advanced by peaceful means. The great unterrified met last night in mass con- vention at Tammany Hall to ratify the nomina- ions of Stephen A. Douglas for President, and Herschel V. Johnson for Vice President. The mod speeches were made by him, by “r. Parsons, wf Alabama; ex-Congresaman Geo. W. Jones, of accompainments of Tammany [Hall meetings—amuasic, banners, skyrockets, Reman can- dies, calcium lights, transparencies, and discharges from that inevitable pocket piece of the famous Empire Club. There was a large gathering outside fe well inside of the Old Wigwam, but strange to Bay, there was not a single row to diversify the proceedings. There was @ good deal of cheer- fing for Douglas, and some groaning for Caleb ushing and Benjamin F. Butler. The speeches were not peculiarly brilliant, but such as they ‘were we give a report of them. The la‘. dowble murder in the Eighteenth ward ‘was the ni! absorbing topic of conversation in this wity yesterday. All sorts of rumors are afloat in reference to the affair, but nothing positive is known regarding the murderer. Suspicion points rather strongly to a relative of Mr. Walton's, how- @ver, and the police are actively engaged in search- Ing for the suspected party. The Coroner's inquest will be resumed on Thursday, when it is expected ome interesting and startling developements will be elicited. Elsewhere will be found some ad- @itional particulars of the assassinations, together {with a history of Mr. Walton's domestic troubles gince his marriage with the lady who now claims to have been his wife. ‘The fire escape made by Clark, of London, was exhibited yesterday afternoon in the Park, about fave o'clock, before a large assemblage of citizens. ‘The escape consists of two or three ladders jointed together 60 as to reach the summits of our highest Duildings; should the parties escaping be timoroas or in a state of undress, « large canvass bag is pro- wided, running the length of the ladder, into which children, women, and infirm people may ensconce Rhemselves and slide safely down to terra firma. ‘The firemen slid down over and over again in order to give the public confidence in the inven- tion, which is highly calculated to save human life in moments of the most distressing danger. Proposals for constructing a wronght iron pipe across the acquedact bridge were opened at noon yesterday, at the office of the Croton Acqueduct Department. The successful applicants for the ‘work were Messrs. Sneden and Rowland. The contract embraces a supply of 1,350 feet of 7} foot pipe, 25,800 pounds of cast iron, 700 pounds of Drass, 1,940 pounds of wrought iron, and 198,000 pounds of cast iron, ‘Mr. Martin Van Boren Wilcoxon, a well known member of the New York bar, and formerly Asistaat Corporation Counsel, entered apoa the daties of his office as Assistant United States Dis trict Attorney, successor of Mr. Hunt, resigned. As yet Judge Roosevelt has not made any appoint ment in the place of Mr, Dwight, the late Second Assistant. At the meeting of the Board of Supervisors yes- terday a communication was received from the Comptroller stating that up to the 21stult. the expen- ditures for the year amounted to $1,635,938, leaving an unexpended balance of $1,963,439. A commu- nication was also received from the Tax Commis- sioners, giving a statement of the relative value of real and personal estate in the city and county of New York, as assessed in 1859 and 1860, Annexed are the footings of the tabularstatement:— Total valuation for 1860. $577 ,230,656 ‘Total valuation for 1859. 552,022,722 Tnorease in 1860 over 1859............46+5 925,207,034 The Committee on Criminal Courts and Police were directed to confer with the Police Commis- sioners relative to the erection of a house for the detention of witnesses, The committee were au- horized to purchase a plot of ground in Mulberry, between Spring and Broome streets, and $16,000 were appropriated for the purpose. The Board adjourned till Tuesday next. Both branches of the Common Council were in ession yesterday. In the Board of Aldermen a communication was received from the Comptroller, covering a report of the Auditor's accounts from April 1 to June 30. It states that there has been paid in that time— On city account, On truat aud special accoun! The resolution directing the Street Commissioner to proceed with the work of laying out Mount Mor- ris square at an expense of $20,000, was taken up and passed, notwithstanding the veto of the Mayor. The report of the Committe on Finance, in favor of an ordinance providing for the issue of an additional sum of $250,000 of the Central Park Improvement Fund stock, was called up and adopted. The Board concurred in a resolution of the Councilmen to appropriate the sum of $695 to defray the ex- penses attendant upon entertaining the officers of the Brazilian corvette Dona Isabel. A resolution directing one hundred additional free drinking hy- drants to be placed in the public streets in this city, under the direction of the Croton Board, was adopted. The Board adjourned to Friday next, at five o'clock. In the Board of Councilmen a communication was read from Major General Sandford, inviting the members of the Common Council and the Mayor to unite with him in receiving the honors of a marching salute from the First Division on the Fourth of July, at ten A. M., in the Park. The in- vitation was accepted. The Board adjourned to meet on Friday evening at five o'clock. In the Court of Oyer and Terminer yesterday Patrick Murphy was tried for the manslaughter of Peter Hall, during a brawl at Harman's grocery, corner of Rutgers and Water streets. The jury rendered a verdict of manslaughter in the fourth degree. The Fourth ward public school difficulty has come up in the Board of Education in a new shape. It appears that one of the school inspectors of the Fourth ward refused to admit the pay roll of the teachers for the past month, and the Board directed the Finance Committee to inquire into the canse of such action. The committee commaaced their in- vestigation yesterday. A report of the proceedings may be found in another column. The Excise Commissioners held their usual meet- ing yesterday, at which they granted sixteen li- censes for $30 each. The Police Commissioners yesterday dismissed three members of the force for intoxication, and adjourned to one o'clock to-day. There was some better feoling exhibited in the cotton market yesterday, while prices were without quotable change. The sales embraced about 1,000 bales. Flour opened rather heavy, and for some grades with the turn of the market in favor of purchasers. As the day ad vanced it became qnite active, with large sales, having closed firm. Wheat wns heavy at the opening, but improved in demand as the day advanced for export and for milling, with large sales, closing at quotations given in another golumn, . Corn improved le. per bushel, with fair sales to the domestic trade and for export, Pork sold to a moderate extent, in cluding mew mess at $13 8T a $15 90, ant new prime at $14. For an account of stocks of pork and beef we refer to another columa. The sugar market was less buoyant, though without quotable change in prices. The arrivals have been pretty free within the past two or three days, The transactions to- day embraced about 800 hhds. at rates given ia another place. Coffee waa steady, and sales limited. Grain freights to Liverpool were better, and some 60,000 a 70,- 000 bushels were engaged, chiefly wheat, at TX d. in bulk, and $d. in bulk and bags. Flour was at Is. 10\d. Among the engagements were 500 bbls. flour to Havre at 65c. According to the City Inspector's report, there were 362 deaths in the city during the past week, an increase of 31 as compared with the mortality of the week previous, and 27 less than occurred daring the corresponding week last year. The re- capitulation table gives 2 deaths of diseases of the bones, joints, &c., 69 of the brain and nerves, 3 of the generative organs, 18 of the heart and blood vessels, 110 of the lungs, throat, &c., 2 of old age, 42 of diseases of the skin and eruptive fevers, 5 still- born and premature births, 61 of diseases of the stomach, bowels and other digestive organs, 46 of general fevers, 3 of diseases of the urinary organs, 1 unknown, and 23 from violent causes. The na- tivity table gives 233 natives of the United States, 82 of Ireland, 23 of Germany, § of England, 1 of Scotland, and the balance of various foreign coun- tries. How Mccu Dw It Cost Us vor Tie Jara- nesé!—When the Japanese Embassy was en route to the United States, the federal govern- ment prepared for the official reception by ap- propriating fifty thousand dollars for the inci- dental expenditures of the Ambassadors and suite. Of this sum only twenty-four thousand dollars have been expended by the Naval Com- missioners in charge, and the balance bas been returned to the government. Mark the differ- ence between the naval officers and the munici- pal authorities of this city. The Common Coun- cil appropriated thirty thousand dollars for the reception of the Japanese, and from the bills now coming in it appears that the expenditures will run up to a total of near a hundred thou- eand dollars, or ten thousand dollars for each day that the Embassy remained in the metropo- lis, which is, to say the least, a little high flavored. We trust that the Mayor will look sharply {nto all the bills which are presented for his signature, and withhold it where there is any suspicion of overcharge. In this way he may be able to make a material reduction in the gross amount. In the meantime, we hope that the Aldermen and Councilmen do not intend to let slip an- other opportunity for a grand welcome and re- ception in the person of the Benicia Boy, who will arrive a conquering hero, with a new belt, in a day or two, As the chosen representative of American muscle abroad, and the beau ideal of the governing Classes at home, Heenan should receive from a congenial Corporation the highest honors. Let something be done about this matter at once. The public voice calls upon the Aldermen to awake from the le- thargy into which the Japanese visit seems to have thrown thea, ata to prepare immediately for the Heenan reception. Whoever moves first in the matter Gewand aay office at the hands of the goveraing classes. NEW YORK HERALD, TUESDAY, JULY 3, 1860. The New Political Revolution and the Slavery agitation—The Question Sct- ting Itself, Last summer there was a general apprehen- sion throughout the civilized world that the advance of the French army into the famous Austrian quadrilateral would widen the Italian war of that day into a disastrous European con- flagration. This fear was well founded; but at the very crisis of a general collision the danger was avoided in the truce and peace of Villa- franca ; since which the great Powers of Eu- rope have been peaceably holding each other at bay, while the people of Italy have been settling the Italian question for themselves. Between this solution of the Italian question and the solution of the slavery disunion agita- tion in the United States, under the new politi- cal revolution commencing with the disruption of the democratic party, we may find something of a parallel. With the meeting, and for two months after the meeting, of the late session of Congress, there was a general apprehension that the fearful excitement stirred up in the South on the slavery question, from the John Brown foray, the Helper book and Wm. H. Seward’s “irrepressible conflict,” might preci- pitate a violent disruption between our North- ern and Southern States, and, necessarily, a widespread and disastrous civil war. It was feared, too, that this “irrepressible conflict,” leading to this inevitable convulsion, would be decreed by the Charleston Conven- tion, and.would thus commence from a purely sectional contest between the republicans as an anti-slavery party and the reorganized legions of the democracy as a pro-slavery party—the one contending for the absolute extirpation, and the other for the indefinite expansion, of our Southern institution of slavery. But the local necessities and sectional rivalries of our democratic politicians at Charleston and at Bal- timore brought about the disruption of the party—a result equivalent in its effects to the peace of Villafranca, for it turns over our Italian question, which is the slavery question, to the discretion of the people directly con- cerned. Thus often, by the simplest processes in the world, the most difficult political problems settle themselves. Had the democratic party been maintained at Baltimore as a unit, and upon the new Scuthern platform of Southern Tights, there would have been an “irrepressible conflict” between that party and the republican party, seriously damaging all the business rela- tions of our people, North and South, and se- riously threatening a bloody dissolution of the confederacy. But all these dangers have suddenly disappeared; we hear nothing more of them. Nobody threatens dis- union, mobody fears ft any longer. ll parties, all sections, all factions, have become wonderfully in love with the Union, the fire- eaters of the South, with the late dreadful revo- lutionary Yancey at their head, being foremost among the advocates of the Union. In fact, within the last three months the Union has risen from a figure below par to a high premium in the political market, and all because of the disruption of the demoralized democratic party. Who could have thought it? and yet who does not perceive that such are the first fruits al- ready produced from the breaking up of this effete political organization? It had lived its day, it had finished its mission, it had become luxurious, corrupt and diseased, and though it has died a violent, it has died a natural death, Hold and tie up the people to a choice between the anti-slavery republicans and the ultra pro- slavery democracy, and the Union sentiment of the country will be suffocated between them. Break into pieces one of these sectional parties, and you give a vent to the Union maases of the people which will cause them to be respected by all parties. So we find it now. The late fire-enting de- mocracy of the South, with the loss of their par- ty strength, find it necessary to respect and ac- knowledge that Union sentiment under which, till this day, the Southern opposition party have been sitting in the shade. The danger now is that this opposition Union party, so much derided and despised for its weakness in the South, may next lift up its head as the true and authorized representative of the elaveholding classes of that section. It is now very evident that a large proportion of the substantial slave- holders have hitherto been coerced into the sup- port of the extreme notions of reckless South- ern politicians under the whip and spur of the dominant party; and we see, too, that, relieved of this party despotism, these men will now be heard, and that the voice of the South will be for the Union. Hence the total suspension of this late Southern cry of “disunion.” Each wing of the broken democracy feels its own weakness, and each, even in the South, is ap- pealing to the Union sentiment of the people for assistance. ? So, too, in the North all parties are for the Union. So strong is this Union sentiment in this section that, notwithstanding the split of the democratic party into two hostile camps, the republicans are working zealously for a share of the conservative Union vote, without which they may still be swamped. They feel a little uneasy in this State about Douglas. They fear that his squatter sovereignty may bring to his support thousands of Van Buren democrats who in 1856, under the same idea, went over to Fremont. Should the election thus be thrown into Congress, however, Gen. Jo. Lane may become our next President. In thus reducing the contest to an issue between Lin- coln and Lane, we cannot help the fact that they are the two crudest and least cultivated of all the candidates in the field, for we must deal with the men, events and prospects of the day ‘as we find them. We congratulate the country that this disrup- tion of the democratic party has inaugurated a political revolution which has already rendered the Union secure, and which, ia transferring the subject of slavery from the politicians to the slaveholders themselves, will put our slavery agitating demagogues, North and South, into the background, and leave this queetion of sla- very to its own solution. This will do for the present. The future will develop new parties, new movements and new principles, equai to the exigencies of the day. If neither the old whig party nor the old democratic party could live upon this “one idea” of slavery, surely the Trepublican party gaampt do it. The revolution must go on. Tue Race ts Nor Auwars to THe Swirt,—It is a very singular fact that while we have now in the field eight candidates for President and Vice President, the two most inferior in education, experience and statesmanship have the best chance of election—Lincoln and Lane. The men of experience and talent, like Bell, Douglas and Breckinridge, have very little chance at all. Curious. Imrortant Powrrica, MovEMENTS IN / THE Srarx.—Pending the Presidential election there are several important movements going on among political parties in this State. When Lincoln was nominated there was a general outburst of grief among the friends and adhe- rents of Mr. Seward, and every one blamed poor Massa Greeley for bringing about his de- feat at Chicago. We understand that there is a disposition now among a great number of the untrammelled black republicans, pure and sim- ple, to adopt as their platform the letter of Massa Greeley to Mr. Seward, as a declaration of their independence—a kicking off of the shackles, a cutting away from the Weed dicta- tion—and that they will insist upon Greeley be- ing nominated for Governor on the Lincoln Presidential ticket. If we know anything of what justice is we would say that this is no more than just to Massa Greeley. It wasGreeley made Seward a Sena- tor, and made Weed the most. potent among lobby leaders, and it is time that he should receive some reward. He has done more to create the black republican party than Seward or any one else, and if the republicans have any bowels of humanity at all they will not let him go unrewarded. So much for the political movements in the republican party. The unhappy democracy—who split up and ran away from Charleston and Baltimore, and the Northern portion of whom went back again— it is sald are about to unite all the articles and particles of the scattered party in the State, and settle up their difficulties. Mayor Wood, who has seen all his enemies, such as Sickles, Fowler and Sheppard, either sent to the other world, to the penitentiary or to Coventry, shines like the morning star, brighter than ever; and it seems very probable that the bewildered po- liticians of Tammany and Mozart will now com- bine under him and John Cochrane—the only philosopher and statesman among them—with a view to defeat Lincoln in this State, as well as to create a prodigious new Northern ané North- western party—an entirely new developement under the mantle of Douglas, intended to pre- pare and strengthen themselves for the contest of 1864. We believe that a combination is to be form- ed upon this basis between Mayor Wood and Richmond, Cagger & Co., the Albany Regency, who have been sowing corruption and division in the party throughout the State for the last fourteen years. The Regency, having succeeded in cheating Dickinson, humbugging Seymour, and betraying Wise, are now ready to promise their support to Mayor Wood for Governor at the fall election. This new confbination, then, will have to solve the very important question as to which can cheat the other best. But the Regency will find its match in the metropolitan Mare. hus it appears that out of these extraor- dinary movements we have already two candi- dates for Governor—Greeley on the side of the unshackelled republicans, and Weod on the side of the harmonious democracy. Tae Recest Mcrpexs ws tue Ciry.—The double murder committed in cold blood in Eighteenth street on Saturday night equals in atrocity and criminality the famous Burdell murder, as much as it resembles it in its origin and circumstances. The evidence would seem to indicate that the life of the first victim was sought out of pure personal malice, arising from some domestic quarrels; while the second met his terrible fate in the pursuit of what might to any one have seemed a paramount duty, namely, the arrest of the murderer. ‘The guilt as yet has been traced to no one; but what a startling thing it is to think that two peaceful citizens should be shot dead by an assassin, on one of our frequented highways, at an hour when the locality, it seems, was far from being lonely or deserted, for several peo- ple witnessed the tragedy. As usual, there were no police about at the time, and whatever was done either to assist the sufferers or secure the murderer was done by private citizens. This, we believe, is the first capital offence of any notoriety committed in this city since the passage of the new law regulating capital pun- ishment, and the assassin in this case, if he is arrested at all, will of course have the benefit of it. The law provides that the sentence of death shall not be executed except at the will of the Governor, and in no instance shall it be enforced until after twelve months have expired from the time of conviction. We cannot but think this law offers an encouragement to crime, by making the retribution distant and uncegain. Punishment, to be effectual in arresting great crimes, when the penalty is death, should follow the crime speedily and surely. Under the new law, execution on the gallows may be deferred to an indefinite period, and, we will venture to predict, will rarely if ever take place at all henceforth. Such an impression as this cannot fail to lessen the terror of punishment, and im- part boldness and a sense of security to the criminal, than which no feeling can be more dangerous to the peace and safety of the com- munity. ‘Tax Scuvrien Fravns.—Amid al] the pecula- tions and breaches of trust which daily shock our moral sense, from aldermanic stealings to bank and Post Office defalcations, we cannot forget the stupendous swindle known in our courts for years as the “Schuyler frauds,” the particulars of which have been often published, and are painfuily familiar to some of the inno- cent holders of the spurious stock of the New York and New Haven Railroad. At last we have reached a decision. Judge Ingraham, who has had the case under consideration for many weeks, has rendered an able and elaborate opinion on the question—pamly in favor of and partly against the company. He decides that the defendants who have received transfers or certificates of spurious stock by the act of the transfer agent of the company, without know- ledge or ground of suspicion of fraud or irre- gularity, and have advanced money on them, are entitled to recover damages against the company in a proper action; that the defend- ants who have been misled by the acts or negli- gence of the officers of the company, and have advanced moncy in consequence, are entitled to recover damages against the company; that persons holding certificates of stock, valid when they were issued, accompanied by an assign- ment and power, on which they have advanced money, may recover damages against the com- pany when those certificates have been render- ed valueless by the allowance of transfers on the booka of the y, without requiring the surrender of the es, _ NEWS FROM \VASHINGTON. Ratification of Our Treat with China— ‘The Guano Istands Qaestion, dé. OUR SPECIAL WASHINGTON DESPATCH. Honors 70 Tuk Cuamrions or Muscutar Curistustry.—We give in another columa copies of the correspondence in relation to one of the most important movements of the day, to wit: the rise and progress of the school of mus- cular Christians, headed in England by the Pre- mier and the philosophers of the Saturday Re- view, and in the United States by the Recorder of the city of New York, one of its police jus- tices and a very prominent member of the bar. Our readers have already been made . acquaint- ed with the circumstances attendant upon the reception of the English champion, Tom Sayers, in London, Liverpool and other points, after he had been pretty well thrashed by the repre- sentative of the American Eagle. Similar de- monstrations were to be made here on last Saturday, when the illustrious Heenan was ex- pected to arrive in the Adriatic. The govern- ing classes were disappointed, however; the champion did not arrive, and so the ovation did not come off. The Boy should have been home before the Fourth, in order that the day and the event of his return to the embraces of the Eagle might be celebrated atthe same time; butas he has not come, the governing classes intend to feast a person who, it appears, reported the great fight, and the glorious Fourth is to be ushered in with wiae and speech, and song, in praise of sporting editors, who uphold the “national honor in the field, upon the water and on the turf’—a very difficult task, indeed, and one which entitles a man toa good dinner occasionally. We submit, however, that in all justice this dinner should be given to Mr. John C. Heenan, and not to the person whom the Recorder, the County Clerk and Counsellor Brady bave invited. The reporter simply did his duty in making notes of the fight; but the Benicia Boy took all the hard knocks, met the old Lion face to face, pulled his nose, cropped his ears, and assailed the sanctity of his tail. We put it to the Recorder and Brady that, according to all law and courtesy, Heenan is the man who ought to be dined and wined. It is upon the head of the Benicia Boy that the elo- quent Brady should place the laurel crown of victory; it is in the waistcoat pocket of John Heenan that the Recorder should deposit the timekeeper for future encounters. As he is not at present in the country, the affair must be postponed till his arrival. It is true that such delay would deprive our citizens of a very characteristic celebration of the Fourth; but justice should be done though the heavens fall. Policy as well as justice demands that the Re- corder and Counsellor Brady should postpone this fée until Heenan comes. Then let them bestow upon the Benicia Boy all the wealth of their eloquence. Let the Recorder prove to him that the best way to keep the judicial er- mine vistained is to shower rewards upon law- breakers, and let the Demosthenes of the Oyer and Terminer weave for Heenan his prettiest oratorical wreath. The subject is a grand one. It concerns one of the greatest move- ments of the day. It involves the ques- tion of the new school of muscular faith. It is already popular test in this country, and if the Recorder and Brady will only play their cards fairly, and reward the man who has done all the work, we have no doubt that the gratitude of the governing classes will be so profound that they will elevate the Recorder and the counsellor to the Supreme Court bench, or to that of the Court of Ap- peals, or to any other posts which they may elect. Let them think seriously before throw- ng their powder away. Crrzpration or THE Fourrn or Ju.y.—The national holiday will be celebrated to-morrow in the city and suburbs after the usual fashion. The city appropriation for fireworks, salutes, &c., smounts to seven thousand five hundred doers, The Joint Committee of the Common Council has also made arrangements for a re- gatta for small sail and row boats, the start being from a point off Castle Garden. The Regatta Ciub—which no one ever hears of except when there is an official appropriation—has turned up in full bloom, and the farce of last year is tobe repeated for the benefit of the rumsellers about the Battery. In the provinces we see that the 8. W. Williams, Secretary~ef Legation to Ching, hae _ arrived here direct from the Emperor, beawtmg the raté- fed treaty with this governmes#, and an aotegraph lower from His Highness to the Presideat of the United States, and presented both of these documents to the Department of State today. He brings no politcal news of import. ance. The aspect of affairs was ue? altogether cmcour. aging. Congiderable depression prewsited in commercial and other circles, growing out of the troubles with Eag- land and France. ‘TUE QUESTION OF AMERICAN INTERESTS IN GUANO ISLANDS An important question has just been exBmitted by the Department of State to the Attorney Geueral for an opin- fon on the construction of the act of Congress of August, 1856, authorizing protection to be given to tie citizens of the United Sttacs who may diacover deposits of guane, It appears that two companies are claiming Elienbury, or Vernon Island—one in virtue of the discovery of the sland, but without occupancy; the other on account of Continuous occupancy, supposing it to have been abea- doned by its previous discoverer. The question is, whick Of these two is entitled to the certificate of the State De- partment?

The steamer Arizona brings Brazos dates to the 28th ult., and $73,000 in specie.
