Reliable néws of the evzcuation of Monterey has ‘reached this place and cansed the greatest rejoicings among the liberals here, Although the official report hag not yet reached us, yet from word sent to General @arvajal, and from letters to private parties, the follow- img may be regarded as reliable: — On the 23d ultimo the French, wader Jeanningros, together with the native imperial troops, moved out of the city after spiking the guns and destroying the powder and ammunition in the magazines, This latter was found necessary on account of the lack of transporta- tion. The French moved towards Saltillo en rowle as is supposed for San Luis Potost, A brigade of Excobedo’s command under Colonel Martinez, which was in close proximity, immediately entered tho city and took pos- session. Not a gun was fired. FROM SAN LUIS POTORT. Goneral Carvajal this morning received a despatch from General Aurelian Rivera, a prominént guerilla ehief, who has been for a long timo operating in what is known as the Federal district. The leiter is dated near Metabuila, in San Luis Potosi, July 23. Ho states that communication with Mexico and Vera Cruz is open Through the mountains; that ail of his people are armed with 3 and spears. He writes:—Bazaine is at Dis mom before me, fifteen miles distant, with three @housand men, and I expect that he will send a column against mo; bat 4 am prepared for him; my troops are Rarassing him constantly, and will continue to, Itis that he is aboct moving with a convoy contain- ‘fag $1,000,000 to Tampico or Matamoros. He brought to San Luis Potosi near two thousand men, eight hundred ‘ef whom were mounted on mules, and he has four hendred more mounted on animals seized in this State. I think be will pursue his route to Tampico abandoning wagons and ta! the money on males. Perchance he will follow ue to the mountains mounted on his mules and jackasses. From Moxico ‘hey write me that our cause has improved wonderfully, Shere being innumerable organizations spontancously ising to oppose the enemy. In this State—San Luis Potosi—the people have re-established the constitutional government, and are rapidly organizing the militia ‘wnder Governor Escandon, who is popular and energetic, ‘and recognizes and obeys President Juarez. We have now over five thousand nen in thie State, and only want arms to organize an army.” GENERAL SHERIDAN'S LATE VISIT hheve has had the most beneficial effect in reconciling the @ecordaut elements to the present order of things, and Mhere is now no danger of an outbreak, which some of the more timid have feared for some weeks past. FOR TAMPICO, @eneral Juan José de la Garza will movo out of Mata- mores in a few days for Tampico, where he ia to assume eommand. He is preceded by Cortina, who goes out as ale second in command, Maramonos, August 2, 1806 Beformation has just reached here that Juarez is in ‘Coabuila, and will shortly move to Monterey. MINISTER CAMPBELL. ‘This will doubtless be immediately followed by the ar- yoval as this point of Minister Campbell, es the com. mander of a government vessel at New Orleans has ‘eveived peremptory orders to hold himself in readiness te carry him to Brazos, from which place he will pro- ~@eed, via Matamoros, directly to the seat of goverument, Matamoros, August 10, 1866. ‘The victorious eagles of General Escobedo have at Dength seized Tampico in thelr talons, and the town is ‘mow in possession of the liberals, who are closely be- ‘fdoging the only two forts which remain in the hands of ‘he tmoperial forces. The following details reach me:— ‘On the Ist of August, at two o'clock in the morning, ‘Pampico was attacked by the republican forces under or- @ere of Col, Ascencion Gomez, Fort Yturbide, which was ‘eld in force by the French, was carried by assault, and {he garrison, in retaliation of the famous order of Maxi- milian, was put to the sword. Step by step and square ‘after square the liberal forces, enthusiastic in their de- Sermination to drive the imperial invaders from the soll, ‘earried the town and ius defenses by storm. The French ‘and Austrian troops in vain attempted to hold the barri- eades which bad been thrown up, and finally retreated te the two strong forts which “guard the harbor, and to f@ome extent command the town. By daylight in the ‘morning the town was in possession of the liberals. At the capture of the town several of the leading ‘Mexicans, who had cepoused the cause of the imperi- ‘aiiets, were put to death; among them Don Toribio de la erre, the “Prefecto Politico.” The greater part of the ‘Mexicans who adhered to the empire fied from the city. Nearly all the troops that bad been draited into the im- perial service from all parts of the country went over to the liberals with loud shouts of “Down with Maxi- man!” “Long live the republic!"” ‘The most enthusi- atic demonstrations of joy were exhibited by the inhab- Manis, who had been so long prevented from expressing their opinions by the rigid imperial rule to which they ‘had beon subjected.

These are constantly flocking to the liberal standard, each steamer bringing a number of them. ‘The late victories are arousing the Mexicans to the fact that they can alone hope for success in concen effort; there, therefore, appears to be a better under- standing than heretofore among the various chiefs who have exercised separate commands.

It was resolved that all aid should be offered to sustain the present military governor, Carvajal, in his efforts to assist by ‘united efforts the onward march of the liberal forces to- wards the caphal. Upon. the arrival of Juarez at Monverey tye complete reorganization of the liberal army may bé anticipated and an offort to raise a force sufficient to drive the in- vaders from their soil. 1t is said that measures are already in progress to organize aforce of twelve thousand men to operate between Vera Cruz and Mexico. General Magruder, late of the Confederate army, has wrilten a very supplicatory letter to General Sheridan. It was found in the Post Oilice at Brownsville. There 1s no knowledge of the pomt from which it was written. It is suspected that Genoral Magruder is incognity in Brownsvilie or Matamoros. The Confederates are by every meihod in their power, even to the begging of transporiation to New Orleans under plea of payment upon arrival, trying to get out of Mexico, ‘A captain of a steamer lately informed me that he could have loaded his vessel with them at Vera Cruz had he been so disposed.

Stvovar Cass ov Ssortirting, ~A female of unusually respectable appearance was brought before Judge Led- with yesterday on a charge of abstracting a hoop skirt from the store of A. T. Stewart, When presented in court her face was closely veiled. Hor atsiro was of the most comely style and her general aspect and deport- ment ratber striking for one charged with crime. On putting aside her double veil, at the command of the court, bystanders were impressed with the softness of her features and the thoroughly ingenuous manner in which she comported herscif. On being asked what she had to say in answer to the charge preferred ugainst her ehe unhesitatingly, but in a subdued voica, replied, T took the goods.” She also freely acknowledged to the officer that she had previously taken a plaid slik dress pattern. The accused proves to bo the wile of a New Orleans commission merchant, who, with his wife has been sojourning in New York for a while past. ‘Tho lady has been in the habit of visiting Stowart’s at diferent times, and suspicion of p°cilations similar to that with which abe now stands charged, were formed against her. A ®atch was set on her movements when she last went there, the result of which was her detec- tion and confession, She was duly committed on a charge of petit larceny, and when the officer signified to her that she must accompany himto the prison ceil, shé obeyed, as one either total'y unconscious of her situation or else carrying within hervelf a conviction of her guilt, and determined to abide the unpleasant consequences, Tt was said that her husband was ignorant of the arrest yesterday. Instances are recorded where the wives of opulent persons have been discovered to have practised shoplifting systematically for a long time, and it was proved that tho ladies who were in every other resp ct per‘ectly unimpeachable, had a mania or species of in- sanity for stealing articles, oftentimes of the most titling value, such as a spool of thread or paper of needlos, from stores, and they were acquitted on the ground of partial insanity In some countries this woakness is known as ‘kleptomania,”” aud is regularly classified among the things that affecta porson’s responsibility. i1tNG AN OLD Banret.—Abraham Cohen, who lives in Baxter street, had, not long since, a pair of pants, worth $6; a coat, worth $10, anda vest, worth $2, which were set down to the account of spare clothes. John Stevenson—taking the account of Jacob Isaacs as true— had an empty barrel to fill, which was a@ source of as great perplexity to him as it ia for a boy to fill his first cket.’ Nothing with which to fill the barrel could be found ‘80 suitable to his taste as Cohen's clothes, which he ventured to ‘chuck’ into it, Atthis Cohen com- plained to Justice Hogan, and Hogan held Stevenson to answer. A Boorsnack’s Untucky Venturm.—A bootblack. but thirteen years of ago, answering to the name of John Seward, not altogether eatisfled with the proceeds of his vocation, set about remedying the defictency the other day. With thig purpose m view he betook himself first to Canal street and then to the cigar store of Jos¢ Xiqnes. This was on the night of the 4th of August. He broke out the glass of one of the windows of the cigar store and succeeded in ferreting through. When there he took $70 in money and a jackknife. Not being 0 chary of displaying his knife as would have been pru- dent in a thief, he botrayed himself and was arrested. Yesterday he was taken to the Tombs Police Court to show whether he has been wrongfully accused or not, Untawrcr Surcery.—Arthur Slavin, of No. 22 Mott street, complained yesterday at the Tombs Police Court that one of h’s fingers was hooked off by some sharp in- strument in the hands of Peter Reynolds. Reynolds was held to answer.

Ferdinand has failed so tar to discover any new heavenly bodies. Catharine has seen stars never known to Herschell. The fame of Catharine’s discoveries should be shared by Ferdinand, as it was he tanght ber, Iudeod Catharine is not ambiiious; has seen enough and ts willing he should have all the fame, She does not desire to see any more, and wants the lessons discontinued. Her pecuilarity of vision is acauired at an expense of pain and snifering to which she objects, For instance, Ferdinand’s elosed hand is propelled with violence against Catharine’s face, and, pyr ato, her astronomical vision is most wonderful, But it hurts, Remonstrance on the part of the unam- b uous Celtic wife failed to modify the scientific ardor of the Teutonic husband, Yesterday Catharine invoked the aid of Justi e Kelly to procure for her @ release from those annyoing experimental studies, Justice Kelly sup- plied that relief by #:parating Ferdinand temporarily from her, Where Ferdinapd now is he can elect, if hie selentific ardor continues, become the subject of ex- periment limself, A Game or Evcurs—Civas Truurs.—The police of the Thirty-first preeinct were, it seems, engaged in a little game, on Sunday afternoon, up in Manhattanville, with ‘a party of men described by them as roughs. For a time It was quite exciting. After somo indiilerent play ono of the police led @atrong club, expecting by it to secure the lead and sweep everything. The oiber party, bewever, played a Jack (Jonn McCar- thy), with’ which they captured their opponent's club, On the noxt deal they led off with a ciub, and following this with a snecession of knaves (so say the police) came out triumphant. Afterwards, however, they were themselves beaten, their opponents holding @ foll hand of clubs, They were completely euchred and Jost their best card, the le’t bower, Jon MecCarthy is in custody, awaiting tho result of the injuries he inflicted upon the officer with his own club, .

The Grand National Concert, organized in this elty for the purpose of raising twenty-five thousand dollars for the benefit of the Soldiers’ and Sailors’ National Orphan Home Fund, under the auspices of the Soldiers’ and Sailors’ Union of this city, it does neem to us ise work of very great merit, and inno- cont in every respect. = ‘There may be those who regard it tn the light of a epecula- tion or political organization. This we do not believe, but grant it; is that an objection to the contributing of ald to the orphans of our fallen brave? We, a8 a private individual, would hesitate a long time before attempting to throw cold water on au object professediy of such merit, and which has already manifested with material ald ite good work, The orphans of this city, in the ‘several various asylums for their care, have received liberal contributions. The unfortunate sufferers at Portland have also been the recipients of handsome donation from this enterprise. “Judge ye of the tree by ite fruits!” is the touchstone by whieh all that is Teal in tested. The best banks are those whore bills are most likely to be counterfeited, and there was never yet an institution or or- ganization of any merit that has not met with more or less opposition from interested individuals, or persons of warped judgment, We have said tiue much, knowing that an as: sociation, purporting to have a #imilar object in view, in said to have defrauded ihe community. But so faras the Grand National Coneert of this city is concerned, under the man- agement of such gentlemen as Major H. A. Hall, Colonel Charles 8. Oapebart, Major M. i.
