Pa and Full Details of the Revolution in Stnsloe—A Fight at Mazatlan—Coaling Station Granted to the United States Marine . MAZATLAN, March 11 Via San Francisco, March 25, ish.

Seven of tnem, in- ying Spaniards, Germans and Mexicans, refused their agsessments under this préstamo, and prisoned; After having been three, days in jail they applied fo the American Consul for relief, ut General Martinez insisted that they should pay r femain in prison. The parties thereupon paid der protest, in presence of the Consul. No Ameri- have been disturbed nor American property The revolutionists, 500 strong, under Colonel Jorge 5 los, on the 4th inst., near Cosald, in the district of Morelos, fought the wing Constitutional (Governor Rubil’s) forces, 225 by Colonel Miranda, The latter were ted. loss on both sides amounted to thirty Hcille@. Several such small skirmishes haye lately taken place, . revolutionists now hold CuHacan, Cosalé and Governor Rubi is completely hemmed ‘and has his headquarters at Copala, in the moun- of the district of Pinuco. His force is about sone thousand strong. General Martinez has received official notification ‘from President Juarez to give up his command and mo. longer exercise his usurped authority; also to present himself in person, with the chiefs under his icomhmand, at the seat of government. This General ‘Martinez refuses to do and states his reasons. The federal government has determined to sustain ‘Governor Rubi and has ordered reinforcements to ‘leave for that purpose. General Donato Guerra has arrived at Durango with five hundred federal troops, on his way to Sinaloa. General Escobedo is also re- ported on the way with two thousand more. Mean- ‘time, it is said General Martinez is making a treaty offensive and defensive with the Indiam-chief Lozado, of the State of Jalisco, and the defeated candidate for the Governorship of Durango, General Borrego. ‘These are two of the most famous revolutionists in Mexico, General Toledo, of the revolutionary army, has issued a fierce pronunciamiento against General Corona, on account of the oficial report made by the latter to the federal government in relation to the ‘present troubles in Sinaloa, General Martinez, in his reply to President Juarez, also bitterly denounces General Corona. Credible information has been received here of a risingin San Luis Potosi. A federal regiment had proclafmed against President Juarez, in favor of General Gonzalez Ortega. They were immediately ‘put down, and it is reported that some of the officers had been hung. General Corona is now at Guadalajara. Owing to ‘the disturbed state of this part of the country he may have toremain. The reports of an attempt having been made to assassinate him are not credited here. It was a sensation story gotten up by an official here. 5 The excitement about the arrest of ex-Governor Pldcido Vega has not yet died out here. When last heard from he was the guest of Governor Ramon de a Vega, of the State of Colima, and his friends re- fused to allow him to proceed to the city of Mexico, as ordered by federal authority. General Davalos and his troops left here on the 6th instant for Guaymas. These were the last of the federal troops left in this place. On the 4th instant he commenced to embark his troops, but General Martinez ordered the agent of the steamship company to prohibit the embarkation of General Davalos. Hearing of this, he formed his troops in line of battle opposite the Custom House and placed two pieces of cannon to command the principal avenues of approach. He next discovered about fifty of General Martinez’s troops in the adjacent barracks. At this time General Davalos’ troops. fired a volley on them which startled the whole city. In an instant all the stores and pri- vate residences were closed and the citizens flocked to the tops of the houses. Some were pecring through doors and windows and flying about the streets wildly to see what was going on. Intense excitement prevailed. As General Martinez had but very little force in the city General Davalos carried the day. The affair ended by a stray shot killing a poor old blacksmith, whereupon the officers went to take a drink of mescal. i The news of the late plot to assassinate President Juarez and his Cabinet created deeper indignation here among the Americans than among the Mexi- cans. The United States Consul, Elmer, at La Paz, has received an official communication from President Juarez, granting the United States a coallng depot at Pichiluego, a splendid harbor adjacent,to that place. ‘It is granted free of all fmposts and auties what- ever. Governor McCormick and a party of Arizonians lately visited Governor Pesquiera, of Sonora. The party met with a genuine hospitable reception. They visited Ures and Guaymas. This visit is re- ported to have an important commercial and political aspect. Governor Galan, the new Governor of Lower Cali- fornia, proves himseif a strong advocate of Ameri- can interests. His editorial labors have most broad and truly catholic views. Mrs. Burdell-Cunningham, accompanied by a clair- voyant physician, arrived here on the 4th inst., and left on the 6th for Loreto, Lower California, where she is interested in mining property. . The American men-of-war Resaca and Saginaw are in port. The latter leaves to-morrow for San Francisco; thence she will go to Sitka. The American whaling bark Harrison 1s con- demned at La Paz, having run on the rocks outside the bay. ‘The bark Otego, of Rockland, Me., ran’on the reefs off th's harbor and was damaged to the extent of $500, She left on the 9th inst. for San Francisco for further repairs, The steamer Montana, Captain T. K. Horton, the first of the new line, left for San Francisco to-day with forty-one passengers and sixteen hundred hides, a large shipment of oranges, $50,000 in specie, and one hundred and eighty tons of salt from Carmen island. $ Expulsion of Foreigners—Internal Improve- mentse—Budget Estimates.

It is thence argued that Mexico will be unable to pay the interest on her debt. ‘The Legislature of Vera Cruz has repealed the poll tax. A deputy from the State of Puebla made a motion in Congress to censure the conduct of the federal troops at Aeatian, in sald State, as their intervention to prevent the disorder, which was insignificant, had hot been solicited.

Public and fe ‘buildings were hand- somely decorated with the national colors, German flags, and banners of every description, while the streets were enlivened by crowds of people to wit- ness the turnout. While the jion was moving the church bells chimed and other bells were rung. The different express companies brought up the rear with wagons loaded with freight brought over by the steamer Baltimore. Almost every branch of in- dustry contributed to make this one of the grandest demonstrations ever witnessed here. VIRGINIA.

The action is final. Council Bluffs secures the passenger and freight transfers and depot ee within her corporate limits. ‘The citizens are jubilant over the event, AMUSEMENTS. THRATRE FRANGAIS—“'LA BELLE HELENE.”—Every seat in this beautiful little theatre was occupied last night and many rows of standers lined the walls and aisles, all enthusiastic admirers of the operatic Momus, Offenbach. “La Belle Heléne” was the opera, and Tostée, discarding the hassar Jacket and military robe, the “J’aime les Mili- taires,” “Dites lui” and “Le Sabre” and the other accessories of “La Grande Duchesse,”’ came out in true classic style, and gave a charming photograph, musically and otherwise, of the young, although now antique lady who set the Greeks and Trojans at each other hike Kilkenny cats, and got Menelaus to bring an action against Paris before the walls of Troy, according to the legal forms then in vogue. ‘The plot of the opera is itself well calculated for bur- lesque, and the music is of the same popular vein as “La Grande Duchesse.” The cast introduces all the musty old chaps that blind Homer sang about, here is Calchos (Lagriffoul), the high priest of Jupiter—a rather unfavorable specimen of his craft, full of egotism, fond of good cheer and addicted to swindling; Agamem- non, king of kings (Duchesne), another intense Fron and a very funny one withal; Achilles ¢ ‘alter)—by the way the very best impersonation in he opera last night—a fire-eater, who is ever seek- ing a “muss” and ever making himself a fool; Menelaus, husband of Helen (Le Duc), a poor hen- pecked Benedict, yet very jealous and endowed with the smallest possible amount of brains; the two Ajaxes (Benedick and Monier), of idiotic proclivi- ties. Orestes, son of Agamemnon (Mile. De Fel- court), a fast young man, and last, though not least, Paris (Guffroy), the hero of the opera. The lot Sent taken up with the unauthorized loves of Helen and Paris and their elopement. There are many excellent and taking morceauz in the music, which will soon be hammed and whistled by every one. Among them we may mention, ‘Le Jugement de Paris,” “Voici le Roi de la Gréce,” the finale of the first act; “Nous Naissons,” the duet between Paris and Helen, and the waltz finale of the second act and the couplets of Orestes and the High Priest of Venus (Paris) in the last act. Tostée was splendid last night, and her voice seemed better than ever, while her inimitable powers of comedy had more scope than in her former réle, La Grande Duchesse. The chorus aiso was a feature in the formance, although once or twice it was nearly disconcerted by the miserable course of the leader of the orchestra, who is entirely unfitted to conduct opera boufe. We predict @ still greater success, if that is possible, for “La Belle Héléne” than even “La Grande Duchesse” enjoyed. Mr. Bate- man has made the most successful Tit of the season in the amusement line by the magnificent compan, he has brought from Paris, by the sparkling music ol Offenbach, which may be called champange opera, and by the superb manner in which he places every- thing on the stage.

Business Becoming Brisk at the Jersey Hend- quarters—Effect of the Reduction of Fares. A renowned sage remarked that the world is made up of contradictions. Only a week ago the gigantic monopoly known as Camden and Amboy obtained a complete triumph over the people of Jersey City in the Harsimus Cove bill. Jersey is looked upon now as the vantage ground of monopolies. At an indig- nation meeting in Jersey City on Wednesday night the people cried out with one voice against this op- pression. The sympathy of the meeting under such circumstan¢es naturally fell into the scale with the Erie Company in their struggle against another monopoly, and this struggle promises re- sults more favorable to the ublic — inter- ests than the other. Already the beginning of the end jsseen. The reduction of fares on the Erie Railroad has turned the tide of travel thither, and tf the New York Central donot reduce their fares it is calculated that no less asum than $100,000 per month will be netted by the Erie Railroad on each car over the ordinary receipts, Five additional pas- senger cars were required on the efght o’clock train esterday morning to meet the increased demand. essrs. Drew, Fisk, Eldridge and Gould are so much engrossed by the business transactions of the com- any that few visitors are admitted to the garrison. he bridge for the ferry at Twenty-third street, New York, is almost completed, and the new ferryboat Delaware will be plying on that line within another month. Telegrams came pouring in from all quar- ters yesterday, the tenor of which did not transpire; but the directors have under consideration the re- duction of freight charges on the line. The river traffic having been resumed at unusually low rates, there is very one 3 to spring up & monopoly of travel most beneficial to the public during the ensuing summer. Here, then, is one result of the Drew-Vanderbilt contest, and It is pretty clear that the tables have been turned. The “Erle Railroad seige’ was the prevailing topic around Taylor's Hotel yesterday. The reticence of the Drew party during the past two days has been canvassed as an indication that a chef d@auvre is meditated in some. new quarter. So far the ople have been the winners, and as the chances of com- romise between the contending parties become fewer by y there is no probability of retrogres- sion, The whicel is going around, and it will be in- teresting to watch the next turn, 7 Governor Ward had not signed the Erie Railroad bill up to five o'clock yesterday afternoon, but there is itie doubt that he will do so to-day, after which the time allowed the Executive terminates and the bill will then become a law. Robert H. Bardwell, late President of the Erie Ratiroad, and Mr. Eldridge, the present incumbent, had an interview with the Gov- ernor on Wednesday in relation to the matter. Memorial Against Railroad Monopolies. A special meeting of the Chamber of Commerce was held yesterday for the purpose of hearing a re- port from the committee appointed on the subject of the Northern Pacific Railroad, and also from the special committee on the subject of prohibitory rail- road freights. Precisely at one o’clock Mr. William E. Dodge took the chair, and after stating the object for which the meeting was called, the Committee on Prohibitory Freight presented their report, which stated that after a careful investigation of the sub- ject they entertain no doubt that the system of rail- road monopoly and its consquent excessive rates of freight is detrimental to the interests of the le of this city and of the State at large, from he wealthiest to the poorest, without exception of class or individuals, reaching the merchant in his largest transactions with the interior and foreign countries, and the poor laborer in the cost of evel article of food which he consumes, The report wen onto say that the facts show that the trade of the city is on the decline in consequence of this obnox- jous system, and that it is also driving away from New York ‘a large number of its best and most in- dustrious citizens, without other benefit than the rapid enrichment of a few individuals; that no legit- imate measure should be neglected to arrest the evils with which we are threatened of a stagnant trade, @ declining influence and 4 suffering ‘Gakener ce and to this end they recommend to the ber an appeal to the ture of the State to interpose ite authority.

J. Desperate Stabbing Affray Between Negroes One of Them Severely Injured—The Perpes trator in Custody. Between eleven and twelve o'clock on Wednesday night two negroes were drinking in a lager beer saloon in that portion of Trenton known as the “swamps,” which is inhabited almost exclusively by colored people, when a conflict ocourred which is likely to result fatally. The two individuals alluded to were Henry Johnson and a man named Anderson. It appears that while sitting together a third party, known as “Buck” Hoagland, came in and endeavored, as alleged, to snatch Anderson's glass, who, on resisting, received a blow from Hoag- land. Johnson espoused the cause of his friend, and a quarrel immediately arose between him-and Hoag- land... The lights were extinguished and the antago- nists clutched, and Hoagland received five dangerous wounds in the back and in the region of the spine. The disabled man was conveyed to his home and the alleged per- petrator left the scene of the coniict. Officer Combs. with two of his associates hastened in pursuit of the fugitive. After a diligent search they found him tn his house, and conveyed him to the City Hall, where he was securely confined till three o'clock yesterd: afternoon, When he was removed to the county jail pending trial. The unfortunate victim was im such a state of physical exhaustion yes- terday that he was unable to give any deposition. Meanwhile the injured man is receiving medical attendance, but no hope is entertained of his recovery. The accused is a robust, large sized man, with @ sulien and repuisive expression, He has a wife and family, Hoagland is married, but it is said he has not lived with his wife. NEW. JERSEY.

Toe UNION LeaGuge CLUB.—The rooms of the Union League Club presented a scene of unusual brilliancy last evening, the occasion being the last meeting of the assoclatien at the old club house on Union square. Memories of the past, relating to the organization of the club and its active political labors, were recalled and discussed and generally rejoiced in by the members, of whom there was a@ very full muster.

Bailey and other gentlemen in appropriate speeches, On gi next the club will occupy its new club house, in Madison square, and will bid a final adieu to ite present quarters, ed it has occupied since 1863, the year of its for- nation. LECTURES LAST NIGHT. Tne PeRits OF THE Hour.—A Mr. Andrew H. H. Dawson delivered a lecture on this subject last even- ing before a fair audience at Sawyer’s rooms, at the corner of Jay street and Fulton avenue, Brook- lyn. He said there was a gloomy shroud overhang- ing the future, which was creating anxiety and apprehension in the minds of the people, and which was quickening the heart of the nation. He then referred to the history of republics, their rise and fall, and held that rival parties were neces- sary for the welfare of a nation, as the party out of power would closely watch the party in power. Where there was money to be stolen, there thieves would gather, As sure as man was born to die par- ties would rise to fall. He then spoke of the States of California, Montana and others which had spoken by their vote in condemnation of the course of the radical leaders. The subject of giving the elective franchise to the negro was next taken up by the speaker, who contended that it was for no love or affection the radicals had for them that the gave them the right to vote, but to use them as their tools. These negroes being ignorant would barter away their votes, like the Indtans did their lands, for a few baubles or some bad whiskey. The radicals said the negroes fought for the Union and they should be allowed to vote. How was it with those who fought oo the Union? According to the same argument they should also be rewarded in the same manner. The lecturer was frequently applauded. Lovis NAPOLEON AND THE Cour bD'ETAT.—That epoch in modern French history—Louis Napoleon and the coup d’etat—when the dominion of repubil- canism gave way to the imperial ambition of tts great leader and central chief, and on which was built the present proud French empire, was the sub- of a most interesting 1ecture delivered last even- g by Mr. Alonzo Tripp, at the Everett Root cor- ner of Thirty-fourth street and Broadway. ere ‘was quite a numerous as well a8 select ang. highly appreciative audience. A graphic résumé of the early career of Prince Ni ye his conviction from an oy, day of a briliiant future awaiting him, his ridiculous +e to @ seizure of the reins of the h ment, his escape from the fortress of Ham and his course polltically during the daysof the French ‘was first given, and then the speak in detail Se ee oe @etat, that master political stroke of Louis Napoleon, which he char- acterized as being without a parallel in gos and displaying the rarest and most brilliant qualities of rve, courage and genius combined. All the stir- ring events of this momentous were de- Iineated with most vivid conciseness of description, Seldom do lecturers present so rich an intellectual treat to their audiences. LECTURE ON THE ANIMAL KixopoM.—The large hall of the Cooper Institute was filled in every availabie part sast night in attendance at a lecture given under the auspices of the Lyceum of Natural History. The lecturer on the occasion was Mr. B, Waterhouse Hawkins, lecturer to the Royal Kensington School of Art, London, England, who Is at present on a vistt to this country. The subject of nis lecture last night was “The Unity of in the Animal King- dom,” which was the lecturer as he pro: diagrams drawn on black board = by One of the pecniiarities of Mr. Hawkins’ lectures 18 that of simplicity in the language he omplars an ai. vantage that must be appreciated, especially when the lectures are given before a mixed audience. ‘The reception which the learned gentieman last night was truly flattering, and as enthustastic as it was deserved.

ARMSTRONG. T 1s only PY degrees that the disasters whiokt occurred at sea a.'"ing the storm of last Friday and Saturday are being ard of; but two days ago & vessel was found ashore <bout forty miles from this city, with four of her crew frozen to death, and three others in the last stage of exhaustion, Last night intelligence was received at the HERALD offfee that the schooner Philander Armstrong was wrecke® on Hareford Bar, about twenty-five miles south of She was bound from James river for thie a ith @ cargo of pine, and on Wednesdi Miers e nf of last countered a pretty stiff breeze, which gradu- freshened into a strong gale until Thursday morn- ing, when she was blown ashore and stranded on the bar before named, and very soon to settle in the sand. e crew, five number, then seeing no other chance of saving her, commenced throwing the cargo overboard in order tn lighten the schooner, but all to no purpose, for she was firmly stranded, The wind continued to blow very hard until thestorm of Friday burst forth in all its fury, ‘and then there was no earthly chance whatever of the crew being able to row through the two milles of flerce breakers which foamed between them andthe land. On board the schooner they were obliged to stay, with scarcely any hope to cheer them of putting foot on land waves broke over the deck, sweeping violently awa: orerye thing that came within thelr reach, and the added more to the inclemency of the weather, and the forlorn crew begnn to give up ail hope of escape from their perilous situation. On Sunday, however, the storm calmed down considerably, and, availing themselves of the only chance left, the men took to the small boat and with much diticulty arrived safe on shore, where ee met by a number of the inhabitants, and gentlemen, of the vil- lage of Cape May Court Housefwho treated them kindly and gave them every sable assistance, They told the crew that they could see their schooner, but, as was the fact, were unable to ald them and expected every moment to see their bodies washed ashore. They, however, were all saved, but the schooner is a total loss. The vessel and cargo were valued at about $8,000, on which there was no in- surance. The men say that although their distress flag was flying for over thirty-six hours they were neither signaied: by nor rendered any assistance whatever from the government lifeboat house, which lay within two miles of the wreck, and which is-pro- vided with everything necessary to assist or revive shipwrecked seamen in their distress. A STRANGE INVENTION, A peculiar individual, apparently somewhat learned in certain very Geep things, called on Inspec- tor Leonard at Police Headquarters yesterday after- noon and handed him the following note : — DEAR Str—I apply to you as detectives of the head detective department for the United States of America, to find out those party or parties that has imported to this country and State of New York from England, Ireland or Scotland charts to Measure my mind; or those party or parties that trade in the same or distributes the same through the United States, and especially the State of New York, to en- slave me under secret perjury and prejudice, which is the sole cause. I want justice, love, truth, liberty, and freedom is all Task, and my rights Pi have. Inspector Leonard, on questioning the man, learned that he had come from Belfast, Ireland, where he had spent two years and a half in the lunatic asylum, “through some mistake of the authorities,” as he himself believed. The invention for measuring the mind, he stated, had been completed when he left Ireland, and he had learned that the inventors were about to have {t patented in this country, hence his dismay and terror. If the police did not exert them- selves to prevent the introduction of the machine into this country he would see to it that the matter should be piaced in the hands of the government, so that a great misfortnne would not befall many of ite members. For if the machine would become pat- ented in this country what on earth would become of some of our Senators and Congressmen whose minds would be found to be of such small compass. being informed by the Inspector that the police would prevent the introduction of the mind meas- urer into this country Mr. De Dyer, non compos mentis, went his way apparently a happy man.
