The chief news of interest by this arrival is from m u i, o• We learn from New Orleans ' under date Nay 25, that the steam ship Texas. with dates from Vera Cruz to the 2:llid inst., had arrived there. She reports that on the 17th a revolution broke out there among the Nati onal Guards , in consequence of on miler from government to incorporate the Nationals with the trunpv of the line. The revolution lasted three days, during which business was entirely sus wird ; the regular troops having possession of both the forts, and the Notional Guards of the streets ad city gates. Brisk firing was kept up during the whale time. But the affair was finally ended on the 11tithbv the entrance of a large body of regular troops from Jalapa, who took fifty cf the Nationals pri soners, when quiet was restored.

A levee was held of all officers and soldiers who were mutilated in the American war, at which a feeling address was made by Santa Anna, who said the country would never forget them. A project for a new national bank had been started, based upon a government loan of from eight to twelve millions of dollars.. _ The French Minister had assured the government that the new expedition of Count Raousaet Boußyon had ken dispersed. Governor Trims, of Chihuahua, has marched with troops to oppose the occupation of MesiUs Valley by American troops. EL PASO, Aram 25.

On the 16th, the British ship-of-war Cumberland, bearing the flag of Vice-Admiral Seymour, with the admiral and his family on board, arrived from Bermuda. The admiral is charged with the protection of the fishing interests of the provinces. The British war steamer Devastation had left Bermuda for the Newfoundland coast. Halifax' papers, by the Europa, state that, in addi tion to the large naval force already centered at Halifax to protect the fisheries from American en croachments, the admiral will fit out half a dozen smell craft for the same purpose, and the governments of Neva Scotia and New Brunswick will also aid in the matter. The people of Newfoundland have been a good deal startled by a rumour that Belle Isle was to be ceded to the French government ; and an address to the Queen, remonstrating against it, has been nume rously signed.

Our worthy Lord Mayor having auspiciously com menced his labour of municipal fraternisateon, by enter taining the congregated mayors at dinner on Tuesday. fol lowed up his praiseworthy task by appointing a grave conference fur yesterday morning, and devoting the evening to the lighter labours of the couversmione. His lordship's object in thus t‘rowing open the doors of the Mansion House to his civic brethren, is, in the words of his invita tion, to give an opportunity of meeting to those who, from their connexion with educational institutions or pursuits, are most interested in the present efforts of the govern -1 ment and the public to promote the diffusion of a more general and practical knowledge of science and art among all classes of the people of this country. The conference mumbled in the long parlour, and consisted of nearly all the mayors who had attended the banquet of the previous evening, and Mr. Cole and Dr. Lyon Playfair as a deputation from the science and art department of the Board of Trade. The Right Hon. the Lord Mayor took the chair, supported by the Lord Mayor of Dublin, Lords Provost of Glasgow and Edinburgh, Lord Mayor of York, and the Mayor of Liverpool. About sixty mayors of the principal towns in England occupied the body of the rocm The proceedings were opened by Mr. Cole, who ex plained to an attentive audience the mode in which govern ment proposed to proceed, the principles by which they meat to be guided, and the success that had already at tended their efforts. The self-supporting system is (he stated) to be the basis of all future attempts to diffuse a more instructed taste for science and art amongst the people. Wherever the inhabitants of • district may be anxious to establish • school of design the Board of Trade will send down a properly vilified master, gualanteeing him • cer tain salary in case the fees of the pupils should prove in sufficient, such guarantee to last for only one year. The central school in London will, it is expected, supply masters, and acholarships, open to pupils of the local schools, will offer in the metropolis • stimulus to the candidates. Mr. Cole contrasted the success of the new system with that of the old, which in seventeen years had, by the aid of subsidies, established only seventeen schools. Already, under the new system, several schools ►ad be ' some self-supporting; the most prominent instances being Warnford and Chester. In the former instance, the only drawback had been the original grant of 201., which the conductors wished to convert into an annuity ; but there was every probability that even this small suns would be dispensed with. Everywhere the people showed them 'arm much better pleased at having to pay a moderate sum for the knowledge imparted, and the schools were much better attended than absolutely free institutions, in which parents considered that they conferred a compliment on the managers by allowing their children to attend. When Mr. Cole had concluded his observations, after ex plaining the technical details of the government plan, a set of drawings and models were exhibited, copies of which are to he provided for the various schools at half the usual price ; but this is to be managed without guy interference with the ordinary operations of trade, as they are to be put. chased by the board in open market. Mr. Cole was followed by Dr. Lyon Playfair, who, taking up the scientific portion of the subject, explained that hitherto attempts at scientific education had failed in this country from the secondary direction they had taken. Scientific results bad, in lectures and by other means, been explained to the adult, instead of any attempt being made to fowl first principles into the child. To supply the elementary desi deratum was the object of the Board of Trade, and in this object they hoped for the aid of the various local bodie s throughout the kingdom. The institution in Jernsynetreet had already tested the desire of the working men for scien tific 'knowledge, and so popular had the lectures there be come, that the room was insufficient for the audience, and the course had consequently been repeated. The taste for sound elementary knowledge was rapidly spreading, and only required judicious direction to being it to good and important results. - . The representatives of the Board of Trade having con eluded their observations, the Mayon proceeded in sneees. eioa to explain the pennon of educational affairs in their respective towns. In Liverpool, according to Mr. Holme, schools have been successfully established, sixty thousand pounds are annually spent on educational objects, and the working clones exhibited marked improvement as compared with their pndeceseen of 30 yes:saints. Workmen can now Inderstaad the most elaborate plans, and have actually become critics on the designs of their employers. The Mayor of Ball complained that in that ancient municipality the clergy have hitherto stopped the way, by refusing the slightest aid to mechanics or literary institutions. In Cilu row the Lord Provost his established self-supporting schools with the most complete success, and the workmen sot only nndentand the plans of their master., bat can make ethers eqsally good themselves. Dublin relies o• her Royal Dublin Society, which has already done so much, its most recent triumph being the establishment of the Dublin Exhibition. In Edinburgh, according to the Lord Provost, self-supporting schools of designs are nicessafally in operation, and the only direct ma trut to this glowing catalogue of provincial progress is unhappy Leicester, the mayor of which town pathetically complained that they have nothing in the way of artistic or scientific institutions, but earnestly desire to co-operate with the Board of Trade. The Mayor of Chester com plained of the general decline of mechanics' institutions, end puggeeted that they might be advantageously need in carrying out the views of the Board of Trade. In addition to the information afforded by all these gentlemen, • moat gratifying unanimity wee exhibited as to the pleading' of artistic and scientific education among the ' people, sad a panel determination to co-operate beartilywith the Board of Trade. Towards the macimitut of the conference Mr. Redgrave made • few practical observations on the present state of artistic knowledge •most the operative classes, taking leave to:differ with the Lord Provost of Glasgow and the Mayor of Liverpool as to the extent to which operative mechanics undersold the principles of design. From his own obser vance sad from the testimony of silversmiths and others engaged in works of art, be was led reluctantly to the con elusioa that the workmen of this country knew little or nothing of desiga. TM conference was brought to a eonelaslon in a very practical stanaer by the Mayor of Southampton, who, after • short statement respecting • legacy of 4,0001. a year, which had remedy accrued to the town, eased no by is vitisg all the company present to dine with him on Mon day next, when he promised them, in addition to his hospi tality, an inspection of Mr. Vanderbilt's splendid steam yacht. It is eland needless to add that this short but im pressive speech was remind with a general cheer .by the company. To Mr. Edmonds, his lordship's secretary, the represen tatives of the public press are much indebted for the facili ties he afforded them in obtaining all necessary iafor motion. In the evening, the Lord Mayor and Lady Mayoress re ceived an annually large and brilliant assembly. In addition to the seventy Mayors and Provosts of all the principal cities and towns of Great Britaia and Inland, whom his lordship had entertained at dinner on the pre vious day, the following distinguished individuals honoured the Mansion-bones with their presence :—The Archbishop of Canterbury, the Bishops of Winchester, Lichfield, Lan daff, and Limerick, the Dukes of Newcastle and Argyll, the ;Marquis of Laasdowne, the Marquis of Breadalbane, the Chevalier Bunsen, the Count de Lawadio, Colonel and Millie.

FLOWER SHOW OF THE BOTANICAL SOCIETY, REGENT'S•PASK. Yesterday the members of the Royal Botanical Society had a moat successful Jets at their Gardens in the Regent's-park. The first great requisite for a Rower show a fine day—was vouchsafed them; the plants exhibited were in the very finest bloom, and the com pany most numerous and fashionable. The number of visitors in attendance was upwards of 16,000, among whom were the ambassadors of America, Brazil, Sax ' dials, Bavaria, Prussia, Greece, Belgium, Turkey, and Sicily; the Dukes of Beaufort and Argyle; the Ditches, of Beaufort; the Bishop of Winchester; the Mar quis of Bristol; Lords Alvanley, Templeton, Clare, Pan mare, Wicklow, Sheffield, and Markey ; Ladies Boyle, Blackburn, Marshall, Ilacdonell, Matheson, Jane Howard, Hums Campbell, Bailey, Phillips, Panmure, and Wicklow; Sirs J. Doveton, W. Jones, 0. Hodgkinson, J. Macdonald, K. Colebrooke, H. Pym, J. Anson, J. Lushington, and W. Brie. The plants, as we have alreadg stated, were in admi rable order ; the most showy and beautiful—if not the most carious or rare—being the azaleas, rhododendrons, and other American plants, which filled two spacious tents and afforded a floral tout ensemble literally gorgeous. The varied surface of the portion of the gardens deveited to this collection of plants, and the ample apace under the tents, gave at once many excellent points of view and more satisfactory ventilation than is ordinarily obtainable under the marquees of a flower show. But the American plants, though probably the most gener ally admired, were far from being the only beau ties of the place. The pelargoniums were numerous and admirable—so also were the roses and the heaths. The orchid family also contributed a great variety of specimens, all curious, and many beautiful. Some fine fruit looked temptingly mature in one quarter, whilst the humbler charms of pansies, calceolariss, and ferns found their ad- Wren in another. Three military bands also contributed to the amusement of the visitors. The following is a list of the chief prises awarded : Extra Oold Medal.—To Mr. Cole, gardener to H. Colyer, Bus , Dartford, Kent, for 20 stove and greenhouse plants ; to Mr. Franklin, gardener to Mrs. Lowrance, for 26 exotic orchids.

TO TEI EDITOR OP THE EXPRESS. Sut,—So far as the evidence shows, it appears to be a debateable point, whether the directors of the railway were to blame in fixing their rates of speed, or whether the unfortunate engine-driver exceeded the rate imposed by the time table, and thus induced the consequences through his own precipitate rashness ? If every railway paseonger possessing a good watch, and sufficient nerve to make au of it, were to note the exact moment when an accident took plies, it would at least serve aa an additional element by which the rate the train may have been proceeding from the lust station, or possi bly, from mile to mile, might with tolerable accuracy be arrived at. In the confusion which ordinarily prevails on each occasions there may be difficulties in the way of ac complishing this object with absolute certainty; but the adoption of a proximate when accidents are of so frequent occurrence as they have been of late, must tend to mitigate the evils whisk so constantly threaten the travelling portion of the community. I am, sir, your obedient servant, A. M. SUICIDE BY few days ago a lad resi r genik named Henry Ravi% twelve years, son „.., an agri cultural labourer, at Raekbeare in DesMre, wu toned hanging to the of an elm tree quite dead. It appeared from the ultimo Wooed at the inquest that the led worked for the Rev. J. lilliott in his fields, and that he was occasionally in the habit of sleeping at the rev. gentleman's house. He left' his father's cottage in good health and spirits, talcum with bins Ms food for the day. The night pissed over, but the led did not rebus. It was Imagined that be was at Mr. RUiett's house ; and on the third day the father made inquiries lii one of the servants, bat head that he had not been there. On going to the 'field where be bad bees at 'work, the boy was found hanging to the bough of a tree by his handkerchief. There were no marks of violist* on his?, sad them ma be no dettist that he had committed aelf4estructiou. What could. iidso;a lad of welt tender years to commit so rash an ar'i Wm Ow question at the in quest ; but no cue could am* any reams for it, as be had not evinced say distress itif mind, sad was in good health and spirits when seen at his work. A few months ago, howmr, his brother also committed suicide is the same way, and it is thought that this produced a morbid offset , upon Lim mind, which led him to cosmic a similar act. M. VANDERBILT'S STEAM-YACHT. The public were admitted on board the gigantic steam yacht, the North Star, belonging to Mr. Vanderbilt, en American gentleman, now lying is the Southampton Dock, yesterday, for the first time, and hundreds of the nobility and gentry availed themselves of the privilege during the day. The American cumulate establishment has been besieged for days past for tickets to view the North Star, and persons have come from a great distance to see her. Every ticket admits tea persons. The public will be admitted fur the three days previous to the us ner's departure for St. Petersburg, via., Wednesday (yesterday), to-day, and to-morrow. The saloons and furniture ap peared yesterday magnificent in the extreme. Everything on board the North Star is American, and it is very evi dent that in many of the useful and °mantes- tai arts the Americans are our equals in point of taste and skill. Surprise has been expressed at the small quantity of fuel consumed on board the North Star when her great speed is considered. She made one of the quickest passages across the Atlantic on record, and consumed only 60 tons of coals a day, while the consump tion ordinarily in such steamers is from 70 to 100 tons daily She has been enabled to traverse the ocean with such speed at so little expense, by her being driven by what is celled a beam engine, an American invention, which hes before been used in a steamer to cross the Atlantic. The fortune of Mr. Vanderbilt is estimated in America at nine millions of dollars, or very nearly two millions sterling. Hs has risen from the ranks. When informed that the people of Southamptoa would like to visit his yacht, he I immediately consented, and only stipulated with his agents, who were empowered to issue tickets of admission, that poor people as well as rich should see the North Star, and they felt every curiosity to do so. The crew of the North Star consists of • captain, two mates, four quartermasters, and fourteen seamen, twenty-four engineers and firemen, and eighteen stewards and assistants. The captain's name is Eldridge. He was for many years commander of • ship between Liverpool end America. A deputation from the chief inhabitants of Southampton have gone to London to Invite Mr. Vanderbilt to • banquet at the Town-hall in that town, and a universal feeling prevails there that the friendly and magnificent visit from a merchant prince of the New World should be welcomed with becoming splendour and cordiality. All who have seen the North Star believe that we may learn as much from her in the building and engineering of passenger ocean steamers as we learnt from the celebrated American sailing yacht two or three years ago in the building and rigging of sailing ships. THE CAMP AT CHODHAM. WOOLWICH, J LINE 8. The Queen's pavilion was taken out of store at Woolwich, yesterday, and has been set up on Greenhill, a place within the boundaries of the garrison, and in front of the new schools at the noth-west gate. The pavilion has not been used, it is said, sine* the visit of Queen Charlotte, but it is now to be put into good condition here previous to its being taken to Chobham Common, and erected there, as it is intended that her Majesty, Prince Albert, the Com mander-in-Chief and the Master-General of the Ordnance will be present on several occasions to witness tho encamp ment and evolutions, reviews and sham-fights which will take place to instruct the troop. in the duties that would be expected of them in actual warfare, and a large sup ply of blank cartridge will be issued for that purpose. The Queen's pavilion is 60 feet long by about 15 feet, broad, with two entrances covered over, one at the east and one at the west end, each about 20 feet in length, making a total length of about 100 feet. The roof in front and back is I supported on eight arches, the two centre arches being large, and the three arches on each side of the two centre arches being of smaller dimensions. The canvas can be thrown open from any or the whole of the arches, to afford an un interrupted view in front and In the rear; and the flooring is composed of timber frames formed of deal, about 6 fret long by 4 feet broad, for the convenience of being carried on waggons. The marquee for the Master-General was also set up at Greenhill, but it has been taken down, and for warded to the place of encampment on Chobbam Commun. It will take several days to complete the Queen's Pavilion, go as to rendar it ready to be scot to the camp. THE VACANT ALDERMANSHIPII In consequence of the appointment of Sir John Key, Bart., to the Chamberlainship of the City of London, an alderiaasie vacancy has taken place in the ward of Bridge Without. Sir Jobe was chosen for the ward of Lengbourne in 1823, but removed to Bridge Without in 1851 upon the decease of Sir C. S. Hunter, Bart. The four senior aldermen, upon the present occasion, viz., Sir Peter Laurie, Kt. (Alderegate) Charles Farebrother, Eq. (Lime-street), Wm. T. Copeland, Esq. (Bishopagate), and Thomas Kelly, Esq. (Farringdon Within), severally de dined to remove to Bridge Without ward, but the gentle man next on the rota (Mderman Wilson) has accepted the office, which, in several respects, is merely of a nominal character. Alderman Wilson was chosen Alderman for Castle Baynard ward in 1831, in 1833 he served the office of Sheriff, and in 1838 he was Lord Mayor. For the vacant gown there are two candidates, namely, A. A. Croll, Eq. (one of the sheriffs for the present I yew), and Henry Maggeridge, Esq., of the Company of Inaholders, a common councilman of 9 years' standing. There are as nearly as possible about 210 voters who, upon this occasion, possess the franchise within the ward. Those entitled to vote are " freemen occupiers," who have the right of voting for "aldermen, common councilmen, and ward officers.' The friends of Mr. Muggeridge appear to be sanguine of the lumen of that gentleman, in cone gamic' of his long residence in the locality. William Barber, Eq., of the firm of "Barber, House, and Mead," in Bt. Paul's-churchyard, was invited, by special requisition, to put himself in nomination for the vacant aldermanship, but be declined to do so. The election, it is probable, will not take place before the early part of the ensuing week. FUGITIVE SLAVES IN CANADA. A preliminary meeting of gentlemen interested in the welfare of the fugitive slaves in Canada was held on Tuesday afternoon, the 7th inst., at Radley's Hotel, Bridge street, Bleekkiars ; the Earl of Sicierneniair presided. There were present Messrs. Robert Forster, Spicer, Hornan Fisher, Wm. Tyler, I. A. Chanierovsow, Rev. J. James, J. C. Galloway, and EAT. JUDOS Sherman. The Rev. S. R. WARD, delegate from the Anti.filavery Society of Canada, made a very interesting statement of the condition of the fugitive slaves who have eseaped to Canada. The number escaping every year was not less than 3,000, and is constantly increasing. The majority arrive at various points on s frontier of 700 miles, almost destitute of clothing and of the necessaries of life. The Anti-Slavery Society of Canada affords them temporary relief, until they procure work, which they usually do within a week, there being no ease on record in w hich,except in the case of sickness, relief had to be extended beyond a period of six days after their arrival. In consequence, however, of the heavy claims of this nature upoa the limited means of the Anti- Slavery Society of Canada, the committee had delegated Mr. Ward to some to England to raise a fund, the interest of which might be devoted to this special purpose. The Earl of Shaftesbury expressed his sympathy with the object of Mr. Ward's mission, and a committee WAS appointed under his lordship to promote it. It was determined to hold a public meeting at the Freemasons' Tavern at an early day to afford Mr. Ward an opportunity of making a public statement as to the condition of the fugitive slave in Ca nada. The Earl of Shaftesbury having consented to pre side on that comasion, a sub committee was appointed to make the necessary arrangements. Several subscriptions were then announced, and after thanks to the noble chair man, the meeting separated. MEXICAN AND SOUTH AMERICAN COMPANY.— Yesterday the annual general meeting of the proprietors of this company took place at the London Tavern, Bishops gate-street, Mr.. 7. D. Powlee in the chair. A report was road, which stated that the mines were productive, and promised well for the future. The nett profit on the work , Inge was 30,6721. 10e. 6d., out of which the directors made • dividend of 7s. 6d. per share, and appropriated 7001. to the reserve fund. The price of copper was good, owing to the great scarcity of the supply. On the motion that the report be adopted, &discussion ensued, in the course of which en attempt was made to induce the directors to declare a divi dend of les., but the motion to this effect was eventually withdrawn, and the report was adopted. The retiring directors were then re-elected, and the business terminated. FIRE AT PADDINOTON.—Imst evening, between the hours of 6 and 7 o'clock, a fire broke out at No. 3, Chichester-plane, Paddington, nearly facing the Great Western Railway, and rapidly extended to the houses on either side. Several engines were called to the spot, and after about two horn arduous exertion on the part of the firemen, the flames were extinguished, but by this time the hoarse No. 3 and 4 were completely destroyed, and No. 2, partially destroyed. I FATAL OCCURRENCE ON THE EASTERN COUNTIES RAlLWAY.—Yesterday Mr. Baker, coroner, received in formation that a man named William Sprints, who resided in Bull-yard, Stoke Newington, had been killed on the Eastern Counties Railway, near Tottenham. He bad been fishing in the Lea, and was crossing the line on his way home as the 7 a.m. Hartford train came up, knocked him down and cut him in two before the driver could bring it up. The diesami was in the habit of crossing the line near the same spot, and was frequently cautioned not to do so, as it was not h pablic footway. He was 70 years of age. BURIAL GROUNDS Bui.—Lord Shaftesbury's bill, as amended in t!ne Lords, has just been printed. It has ben altarod, since it was noticed in the Express. Local board". of health are to be authorised to provide new burial grmends where required. The income of new burial islo be applied towards defraying the *spasm of stab pubmi.„ ASCOT HEATH RACES. WEDNESDAY. THE ROYAL HUNT CUP. The second day on the Heath pommies little in terest for the visitors who come merely to see and be seen. Tuesday and Thursday are the great days which draw the fashionable world to Ascot. The programme of Weduesday was, however, sufficiently attractive to the sporting circles, for whom six races were provided, the most important being the Fernbill Stakes and the Royal Hunt Cup. The Cup, which is of silver, was exhibited in the Grand Stand, and was generally admired for the tasteful simplictry of its design and beautiful work , manship. The form is an antique vase, composed of inter ' woven branches and 1 f the vine, enclosing a ruby coloured glass, fitting into the vase. The Cup stands on a square pedestal covered with purple velvet, on which the name of the race and the year are placed in raised letters of Notwithstanding the uncommon 6neness of the weathe the general attendance on the heath and in the stands was rathtr limited. Only a few private carriages showed on the opposite side of the course, and the booths lacked MI.. tomerg. Of business men there was about the usual muster, and speculation was carried on briskly. The sport was abundant, and for the most part of a very superior character; the results, however, will not exercise much influence over events to come. Catherine Ilayes, the winner of the Oaks, sustained her reputation by conceding 71b. to each of her rivals and winning by a head. The pace was very moderate for the greater part of the distance. • Cheddar carried off the Feruhill Stakes from Ilegum colt by a neck. Fur the Royal Runt Cup, The Friar re ceiving 26Ibs from Peiion, won by a length. I'elion was defeated, but certainly aot disgraced. Of the slaty handi capped, exactly a moiety went to the post, and • more pleasing sight has seldom been seen. As they proceeded along the course their colours showed like a beautiful bed of richly variegated tulips. The last race of the day, the Three-year -old Triennial, • was remarkable for an extraordinary cunirelempa. Just as the signal was given to start, the two favourites, Sitting bourne and The Reiver, got up a very pretty quarrel be tween them, and at last Sittingbourne was left at the post. The old adage touching the ill wind was unexpectedly veri fied by the well-pleased fielders. The races were decided as follows: SWELPSTAILIO of 15 son. each, loft., for 3-yr -old; colts.
