THE WAR IN MEXICO, Herald Special Report from Matamoros. 4 Battle Near Monterey and Rout 0 the Revolutionists. REPORTED FALL OF MONTEREY. The Revolution Consid- ered at an End. TELEGRAMS TO THE NEW YORK HERALD. The following special despatch has been received from our correspondent in Mata-f moros The Hunaxp correspondent in Qamargo has sent a telegraphic message to-day announcing @ great victory for the governthent troops. General Corrella routed the revolutionists at @ San Bernabe, near Monterey, on the 30th ult. At the first fire of the Juaristas the revolution- ists fled in great disorder, without offoring anything like an organized resistance. It seems that they lost heart and had no confi- dence in their chiefs. MONTEREY CAPTURED, They abandoned all their arms and trains, and were hotly pursued by the government troops, who drove them from the outside forti- fications into the very streets of Monterey, where many of them surrendered. Tho city was then occupied by the forces of Corrella. Tho loss of the government troops is slight, but the revolutionists, who were exposed to a furi- ous fire during the pursuit, had a large number: of killed and wounded. With the capture of Monterey the revolution may be considered at ff an end. Maramonos, Mexico, June 2, Via Buownsvinie, Texas, June 2, 1872. THE REPORTED REBEL DEFEAT CONFIRMED, A despatch has also been received from General Covallos, the Commander-in-Chief off the government troops in the North, giving fy the samo account about the victory of General Corrolla, without claiming, however, the occupation of Monterey by the forces of Juarez. All this news emanates from government sources, and although it has the appearance of probability, requires confirmation before it} can be implicitly believed. If the report of| the defeat of the revolutionists is true, the telegraph will be re-established at once andk communication reopened with the interior. Trevino Forced to Evacuate Monterey and Badly Routed—Celebration of thef Victory—Communiention Restored Be- tween the Frontier and the City off Mexico. MArTaMonos, June 2, 1872, Last night at eleven o'clock news was received here announcing that General T'reviilo, finding him- self being hemmed in between General Corello's forces, from Saltillo, and the forces of General Cevallos, from Camargo, attempted to evacuate Monterey, when he was attacked and badly routed, losing the greater part of| his men aud material, and escaping himself with aff small guard toward the mountains, Bells were % rung and troops paraded with music at midnight, in celebration of the victory. This puts the entire fg road from the frontier to the city off Mexico in possession of the government, i which has suflicient forces in all intervening Cities to maintain order. Generals Cevallo’s anda Corello’s armies united amount to 7,000 men, and since the fall of Monterey they will be used to par-' sue the revolutionists, who are now dispersed through the country in small bands. ‘The mail stage and telegraph will be restored in a) short time and communication opened from this ® clty to the capital.

Secret Preparations by the Volunteers to Burn the Spanish Bank. J THE DIABOLICAL PLOT DEFEATED. The Edgar Stuart -Landing Arms for the Insurgents. CUBAN TRAITORS HUNG. Fraudulent Quotations on the Exchange. TELEGRAMS TO THE NEW YORK HERALD. Key West, Fla., June 2, 1872, Letters received here from Havana, dated Friday morning, May 31, Say preparations were recently made by the volunteers to attack and burn the Spanish Bank and the Exchange offices on Thurs- procession of Corpus Christi was passing through the streets. General Ceballos, having received warning, had a battalion of marines, over five hundred regular officers and their servants, and a company of volunteer cavalry, composed of Cubans, ready to fall on the conspira- tors should they attempt to carry out their plot. On the morning in question the President of the ‘Spanish Bank issued a proclamation defending the institution from the charge of speculating in foreign exchange and of raising the rate, declaring that® the present high price was owing to causes beyond ‘the control oi the bank, which really suffered by it. Contrary to general expectation, the day passed of without disturbance. The procession took place, but the streets were deserted by spectators, These letters also report that the steamer Edgar Stuart succeeded in landing a cargo of war ma- terial fer the interior in safety. Cespedes was near Mayari. Several Cuban chiefs had been de- tected in intrigues with the Spaniards to sell out and deliver thelr companions into the hands of the troops. Those of the-conspirators who were found f. guilty were condemned to death and hanged ong si trees, with their heads downward. Havanna correspondence also states that the government has prohibited the journals from pub- lishing any other quotations than those of the Royal Board of Brokers, The President of the Havana Railroad, in a communication to the Voz de Cuba, charges the brokers with giving fraudulent quotations in order to mis- lead merchants and impose on the public, The gov-¥ ernment thus makes itself partially responsible for the evil in refusing to allow the press to publish the regular quotations. LITERATURE. Lory Kiucosn, A Novel. Harper byothers, New York. trated. This latest work from the pen of the gifted Irish novelist, whose dashing heroes and heroines have By Charles Levor. 8V0., pp.-208, Illus- fj engaged the sympathics of a generation, will be found eminently worthy of his pen. “Lord Kil- gobbin” does not, it 1s true, reflect the all-pervading vivaciousness which carried one through his series 9 of novels with military heroes of the beau cavalier stripe, as “Harry Lorrequer,” “Charles O'Malley,” and “Jack Hinton, the Guardsman.’ We miss the magnificent horsemanship, the knight errant ro- mance, the bugle blast, the cavalry charge, the mess tables and the camp fires, which somehow have become associated with the pame of Lever, until, by a sort of reflection, we think we see the author inthe hero. His earlier stories have been distinguished from the morbid romances of the period as the crystal waters of @ mountain stream from the muddy slough. ‘There was no great depth of thought, little discur-B siveness, but, on the contrary, a rapid transition § from situation to situation with a tension of inter- est that never weakened tothe end. Broad, ge- nial humor, animal spirits and a pure morality tended to popularize his stories, which, while they had their headquarters in Ireland, roamed over Europe, generally in the train of the English ar- mies that ended their Continental excursions for fy nearly forty years at Waterloo, has none of this, present day, and, while preserving strong traces of the dash that rippled from the author's pen thirty years ago, is tinged with the mellowed lights and maturer thought which come of long experience. ‘The interest is never strained, and when it bor- “Lord Kilgobbin” ders on the sensational we are reminded, by its si- militude to recent events, of its extreme possibility. The novel takes its name from a title supposed to have been conferred by James II, the day after his defeat at the Boyne, on an ancester of Maurice Kearney, an Irish gentleman of the conventional i type ; that is, prodigal of means, smiling and hosptta- ble under debt, with a cellar of choice claret and an Mm estate with plenty of grumbling tenants and heavy mortgages upon it. The haste with which the royal fugitive rushed to Dublin and the unceremontous mode of his exit from the Island of Saints render the title part rather donbtful; but the novelist makes it exist asa sort of courtesy which obtains on the estate only and {s laughed atelsewhere. The family seat is Kilgobbin Castle, a composite struc- ture not far from the Bog of Allen and in the King’s county. Maurice Kearney, Esq., “the lord,” isa hale old man, asindicated, and his family consists of a daughter, Kate, and a son, Dick—the latter spend- ing time and money in the city of Dublin, instead of studying hard at Trinity College. Shortly after the story opens an addition is made to the dull and quiet family circle at Kilgobbin Castle by the ar- rival of a niece of the lord’s from Rome, the issue of ‘an ill-advised marriage which Kearney’s sister con tracted with a Greek prince. Her name 1s Nina Kostalergi, and she is, of course, a beauty, with a profusion of golden hair, which gave her the” sobriquet in the Eternal City of the “Titian Girl.’ Her father, who had become a gambler of the high continental order, was about to sell her to the stage; and her escape from Rome and advent to Kilgobbin open the interest of the story, Of the other characters which take up the action the most prominent is Joe Atlee, young Kearney’s college “chum”’—an individual of varied talents, pert egotism, little scrupulousness and high ambitions— who, from writing seditious songs for the Pike (a paper in the Fenian interest) and harboring a noted Head Centre, Dan Donogan, in his college quarters, graduates into a confidential agent of Lord Danesbury, the Irish Viceroy, to arrange certain diplomatic involvements in the Eastern question and play battiedore and shuttlecock be- tween the Edinburg Quarterly, the Kreuz Zeitung and the Revue des Deux Mondes. Atlee, of| all the characters, is the freshest type, although not by any means & model for aspiring youth. He visits Kilgobbin and 18 struck by the Greek girl. Cecil Walpole, the private secretary of the Viceroy, visiting Kilgobbin by accident, while “studying the Irish question,’”’ discovers in Nina an old flame, with recollections of balls in Rome and rides in the Campagna. He isto a certain extent a pretender to the hand of Lady Maud Bicker- statfe, the niece of the Viceroy and his cousin. His place in the affections, or rather consideration, of} Lady Maude is supplanted by the versatile Joe Atlee, who, however, in the end {s led into @ prop- osition which, probably from coming too soon, ts rejected with a good nature, more crushing than It is a story of Ireland of they bitter reply. The consequence of this double contretemps is that both Walpole and Atlee become claimants for the hand of the fascinat- ing Greek girl. Walpole succeeds in obtaining, the promise of her hand. There is a young licu- tenant in the Austrian service,Gorman O'Shea, who aspires to the hand of Miss Kate Kearney. He is at home on furlough and manages to involve him- selfin considerable trouble, which ends in his re- conciliation. The Head Centre, Dan Donogan, although introduced only occasionally, is a bold, well-drawn character, full of earnest enthusiasm ‘and stripped of the usual extravagances of novel- istic rebels by being allowed to speak good Eag- lish, something not so rare in reality. In the end he succeeds in carrying off and marrying the Greek girl, and ashe proceeds with her to America, we may suppose, as indicated in the story, the couple find comfort and a free fleld under a free flag. This is the love story of the novel, shorn of its incidents. On the charac- ter of the Greek girl, Nina Kostalergi, Mr. Lever has bestowed considerable attention, She is high- Spirited, wilful, guarded, intriguing and spirituele toa degree, with an undercurrent of impulsiveness, daring and self-sacrifice to the verge of heroism, all ofthe fine womanly order, which become the more forcible in the end that their development and cause are scarcely more than suggested before. In con- trast with the brilliant Nina is the quiet home body of| simple, womanly feeling, KateKearney, the daugnter ofthe Lord.” The character sketchings throughout are very delicate and far beyond Lever's earlier powers. He seemsin this to have abandoned the y bold light and shade, once so markedly his own, for acompromise with the microscopic treatment of M @ Bulwer. His humorous inner views of diplomatic life are the results of his long service under the Eng- lish Foreign OfMice on the Continent. It need scarcely be said that his sketches of Irish manners and scenery are perfect, Interesting and often exciting as the story proper is, with its pieces of social anatomy, its value as a transcript of times and the country he describes will impart to it its special value. The world was aware that Charles Lever could write an exciting love story ; but, if we mistake not, tho writer’s intent was to give a political picture of Ireland similar to that which Disraeli has given of England in “Lothair.” To make the divisions and subdivisions of political Parties clear toa stranger might be diMcult ina country like Ireland, which can never speak itsown heart except through a foreign medium. Mr. Lever, through his characters, however, makes the English whig hap-hazard policy very plain, with its “healing: measures,” compacts made in blindness with the Catholic clergy and concessions and com- Promises with the antl-English element, for which no gain, immediate or prospective, mis visible to England, except a hollow reputation Afor liberalism. It is the history of a government ™ Facting in tgnorance and make-shift with a people g Whom it dislikes and distrusts, and whom it wishes deliberately to deceive. Against this the whig and & tory factions-in Ireland, with their short-sighted antipathy to each other, form acurious side picture: f The one political faith in Ireland, which obtains the § fa greatest force from its sheer positiveness and un-# swerving tnsistance, the Fenian, as it is called, is Minot so thoroughly treated in the novel, although® the place of honor is given to the Head Centre fd in winning the heroine, His election by the people i Mto Parliament, of course, has its historic par-f fallel; but the novelist unearths a curious 7 inchoate disloyalty among the “highly respectable” classes, which has been carefully overlooked by# Rother writers on the subject, yet which, no doubt, gexists. Itis the offspring rather of English repul- # sion than of national attraction, but may some day & Abe a dangerous point du d¢part for more serious & M hostility. In the political connection the alm off the novel may be kindred to that of Disraeli’s inj discrediting whiggism; but if this is so, like ‘Lo- thair,’’ it makes a sorry show for the tories. @ Quite a pathetic interest is attached to this book, fi Like the most noted of those who cater for public famusement, the work is often done under the ke shadow of domestic bereavement. The dedication, dated from Trieste, January 20, 1872, reads thus: 4 To the memory of one whose companionship Hmade the happiness of a long life, and whose loss jm 4 has left me helpless, | dedicate this book, written fin breaking health and broken spirits, The task, that once was my joy and my pride, I have lived to find associated with my Borrow it is not, then, fj "without a cause I say I hope this effort may be my § last. Poor Tom Hood said once lying on his sick bedg # that he had “made more puns and spat more blood H than any man living.” The reader of the novel will Mperhaps not discover a trace of this struggle to @ amuse, but there is one passage which seems as if B the figure were applied to himself— “And the reward for it all is to be ridden like a m steeple-chaser !"’ sighed old Kearney, “Isn’t that the world over? Break down early, and you are ma good-for-nothing. Carry on your spirit and your pluck and your endurance to a green old age, and may be they won't take it out of you !—always Fy contrasting you, however, with yourself long ago, and telling the bystanders whatarare beast you oa Were in your good days."’ Charles Lever was born in Dublin in 1806, and is, oy therefore, in his sixty-sixth year. The illustrations are copied from the English edition, and are fair in drawing, lacking in vitality, weak in individualiza- tion and poor in the selection of incident. LITERARY CHIT-CHAT.

MISSOURI POLITICS. Sr. Louis, Mo., June 2, 1872. Most of the delegates from this State to the Philadelphia Convention left here to-night. ‘The democratic primaries last night elected dcle- gates to the State Convention, to be held at Jeffer- son Gity on the 12th inst., to choose de'>gates to the Baltimore Convention.

It is worthy of remark that the character of the delegates to Philadelphia ts far different from that of those who sold themselves for their board bills to the crowd g@ of Fenton strikers at Chicago. This is accounted for by the fact that during the past four years the F§ party has been weeded out. and such men as De-# wees, of North Carolina, have either been ignored or have taken up their carpet-bags and gone back & to their real homes.

Mr. Settle & 4 candidate for Congress in the Fifth North Gar jjing district; has been Judge of the Supreme Cour ¢ ofthe state; United States Minister to Peru, a7 | having served several terms as presiding oMcer? jf horn Houses of the State Legislature, Is a capail’ ¢ pariiamentarian. It is believed here, from reef nt indications, that abargain has been made bet ween Mosara, Blaine and Colfax to secure the @ twat of Senator Wil- son's aspirations. The ni are of this hargatn, so far as ascerained, embuw oy the possibility that, in the event of eithet one of the gentlemen being able to bg Be the election of the other by casting j hls strength for him, he will @o 80. is apparent that Li this agreement will 7 esult more favorably to Mr. Colfax than to Mr. B’ jane, and ‘hat it is intended to keep the chancea# ofa New England nomination! four years hence pen for the latter as soom as the} business of the Convention is completed. The. Southern delege tes will appoint a committee of one from each SU ite to return to Washington for the purpose’ of insisting on the passage of the Ku Kiuy,, Civill Rights and Amendatory En- forcement/acts as absointe requisites to the snecess of the par’ty in the South. They have already urged the pass ige of these important political measures with Sv.ch effect that In view of the postponement Of the date of adjournment their final success Is a matfer of doubt, tough all efforts have failed up to tho’ present time, “Thus far not, single voice has been hoard against the renomi'sgtion of Genoral Grant.

Tho proceed 'ngs of the Senate yesterday and day be- fore "ave produced no ofect in opposition to him, in", the blow which was intended at least ty stagger his friends fell without injury to any one save those who directed It. All efforts to develop an opinion at the White House regarding the choice of the adiuiuistradon “i while his tari ideas will make him strong jel ™ 5 is urged the (gj President Gran 7 for the second place in the ticket have failed. The President, as usual, prefera not to interfere, even in. directly, with affairs that may interest him person- Sally, and presents his customary reticlence on this point as well as all others. It is quite probable, however, that the necessity of a nomination from Pennsylvania is ackuowledged, and 18 quietly dis- cussed and possibly acknowledged at the White House, &s tt is every where else. Summer After the Colored Folk. Senator Sumner has had frequent consultations © with the colored members of Congreas within the Past few days, and to-day has sought interviews with a number of colored delegates to the Philadel- phia Convention, His object has been to win them from their acknowledged allegiance to General Grant. They have invariably met his advances with a’ cold shoulder and his efforts have proved: futile. The Teriff in Conference. The Conference Comiuittee on the Tariff bill will meet again to-morrow with the intention of com pleting tts consideration before adjournment. There will be no material diference in the committee om any point, except regarding the tobacco taxes, which will doubtless be dxed at twenty centa, Civil Service Examinations, The Boards of Examiners for the several depart- ments are engaged in preparing for competitive examinations according to the rales amd regala- tions for the civil service recently promulgated. Under these regulations any citizen of the United States over eighteen years of age who may furnish the required evidence as to health, moral character aad fidelity to the Union and the constitution, may make application for admission to Ute $1,200 class Hof clerkships, and if the application shows & reasonable capacity for clerical servica the name of the applicant ts placed om what ts called the eligible iss. When a vacancy occurs the eligible applicants are notitledtoappear for examinations, unless there are more than can be examined at one time, in whieh case a practica- ble number 1s selected for examination, Ta mak- ing up the cligible list and in selecting: the prac- ticable number the Board are guided entirely by the merits of the application, without the slightest reference to other considerations. The names of the three candidates who have passed) the best examination are certified for the vacancy, and from these names the head of the department is required to make- the appoint- ment. When more than one vacency Is to be filled the threo highest names- are certified for the first vacancy, the two rematning after the appointment 1s made and the fourth name are certified for the second vacancy, the remaining two and the fifth for the third vacancy, and so om for the whole number of vacancies. Ad several vacancies will usually be filled at once; especially in large departments like the Treasury, the chances of competent persons for appointment im any ex- amination are much better than they would be if only one place were to be filled, When any special qualification is required, such as knowledge of accounts, fine penmanship or ex- the pertness In mathematical computations, candidates apparently best quailfied in that particular are selected, and the examina- tion 1s so conducted as to test the: required qualifi- cation, ‘The Board have resolved to-make their ex- amination as practical as possible, so as to test the apacity of the candidates for actual clerical ser- vice, rather than their scholarly or theoretical at tainments. No useless abstract or catch questions will be asked. The practical worth of the candi- dates appointed ts further tested by @& probation of six months. If by the end of that time they have: given, sumicient proofs of fitness they are permanentiy/appointed, andcan then compete for any vacwacy epen to competition in the oflce to.which thely beiong, nO matter how many grades above themsit may be.
