UNITED STATES.-MEXICO,

The Hibernia, Captain ltyrie, arrived yesterday
evening at Liverpool, from New York and Halifax.
She left the former port on the 2nd. and the latter
on the sth instant. She brings 90,000/. in specie, on
freight. The Caledonia had arrived out at Halifax.
The news by this arrival is not of great impoi t-
once, its chief features having been anticipated by
the intelligence per Liverpool. For home intel-
ligence we quote the following front the New York
Courier and Enquirer :
The Congress of the United States is preparing to arm the
executive with new power for continued war. Already bills
have been reported for adding ten r"giments of regulars
to the army, and authorising the acceptance of twenty addi-
tional regiments of volunteers to serve for three years, unless
coiner discharged. No movement has yet been made u to
replenishing the treasury, which will be the difficult part of
the business, fur iu the existing state of the money market an
issue of a large additional amount (seventeen millions is the
sinallest sum that will be required) of Treasury notes or U.S.
stock, could only find takers at a great discount or a higher
rate of interest. The prier of Treasury notes being o per
not, interest is now 981 to 99; of U.S. 6 per cent. stock of
081, and trim these prices could not be obtained far any
large sum put upon the market, and which must be sold. The
state of the Foreign Exchanges also disturbs the money mar-
ket. In spite of the excess of our vapor s last year over the
ordinary average exports—an excess greatly exceeding that
of our inip..rs irons ahroad—although they were larger than
usual, the rates of foreign exchange now are against the
ountry, and consequently lead to a 'teeny, though at no one
time, very large 'sports of coin. The Britannia will carry out
in gold 348,000 dollars.
Sixty day bills on London being readily 10; per cent, but
there is so much distrust about bills drawn on Looktin
houses—not thoroughly well known here—that this must
be looked upon, as in some sort a fancy price, and not as in-
dicating the real debtor and creditor relations between the
two countries. It nevertheless produces in the export of
coin the worst consequence of an adverse exchange induced I
by importations beyond present means of payment.
Our cotton crop remains unshipped—partly because of the
prices which planters are not willing to accept—but morel).-
cause or the difficulty of negotiating against shipments. Our
breadstuffs are at too high prices here to justify their ship-
ment, eats pt in fulfilment of orders from the other side, and
moreover the crop of Indian corn—very large this year—is
riot yet in a state to be safely shipped. in the general
Prices Current wilt be found the quotations of the day for
flour, wheat, coin, eite., and hence we do not reproduce
them here.
The papers publish the protest of Mr. Bancroft, :1
'American Envoy Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary
in London, addressed to Lord Palmerston, on
the subject of the late order issued by the Bri-
tish Poatmaster-General, levying double postage
on all letters conveyed in American mail packets
from the United States to the United King-
dom, and from the latter to the United States.
It is the only document which, of all the papers for-
warded by Mr. Bancroft to the state department, was
considered proper for publication, consistent with the
public interest, pending the negotiations with England.
On the subject of Maryland the Courier and En-
quirer says:
The Governor, in his annual message just received, gives
a gratifying assurance that the law which passed last year,
declaring that Maryland should, on the Ist January, 1818,
redeem the payment of the interest on her public
debt,will be carried out in perfect good faith. Ile said :" I
will not be deprived of the gratific►tion of announcing to you
the fact that the gross receipts of the Treasury in the past year
have amounted to more than 1,300,000 dols., and more than
double the interest for the same period upon the whole public
debt of the state ; nor will I be deprived of the still greater
satisfaction of informing you that after reducing the arrears
of interest to be funded below 900,000, the treasurer has
provided for the January. interest on both the sterling and
currency debts, and has in the treasury at the present mo-
ment more than enough cash to pay the expense of the pre-
sent session, and the quarter's interest which will fall due
in April next."
The unacknowledged debt of the state of Missis-
sippi on the bonds issued in behalf of the Union Bank,
weighs heavily upon the moral sense of the good
people of that state; and an effort, peculiar certainly
m its kind, is now in progress towards its liquidation.
Of Pennsylvania, it is satisfactory to be able to say
that her revenue greatly exceeds that of former years,
and renders sure and comparatively easy the puuetual
payment of her dividends.
There is some later news from Mexico, but it is of
little interest, the dates from Vera Cruz being to the
16th December, and from Mexico to the 14th.
Gen. Patterson had reached the city of Mexico,
having left a garrison at Rio Frio, where a perma-
nent depot was to be made. A train left the city of
Mexico on the 9th inst. for Vera Cruz, under command
of Oen. Twigge. Oen. Pierce is coming down with it.
The Mexican Congress had a quorum on the 6th of
December, the latest date from Queretaro. Many
deputies were still absent, and six or eight others
were expected to leave during the week, notwith-
standing the critical state of affairs in which the re-
public is placed. The government was occupied with
the regulation of the army. A decree was about to be
issued on the subject, contemplating the number
of the standing army at 20,000 men. There was
some design entertained of sending a Mexican com-
saissioner to Washington to solicit the appointment
d commissioners to meet at Havana, and arrange the
terms of a treaty of peace. How authentic this re-
port may be we cannot state.
At Vera Cruz the papers have a rumour of the de-
feat of a division of the American troops at Llano
Grande. Letters from the capital show it to be un-
founded.

A letter in the St. Louis Republican gives the de-
tails of the causes which led to the arrest of General
Worth by General Scott. The first cause of complaint
against Worth in the first instance was the unqualiti-d
disapprobation by the latter of the terms of capitula-
tion entered into by the former with the municipal
authorities of the city f Puebla, in his advance upon,
and occupation of, that city.
The second cause of complaint on the part of Gen.
Worth against the General-in-Chief, was the disap-
probation by the latter of a circular addressed by the
former to his division alone, at a period when the en-
tire force of the army, including the General-in-Chief,
was garrisoned iu the city of Puebla, with the excep-
tion of a small force left at Jalapa under Colonel
Childs. The circular purported to convey the in-
formation to the first division, of which Gen. Worth
was the commanding officer, that a design was con-
templated by the citizens of Puebla to poison the
fountains from whence oar army drew their daily
supply of water, and in that way destroy us ; and
placing them on their guard against such inhuman
and nefarious designs, if in reality there was any
ground of apprehension whatever, that such threats
had been made or if made, whether there was the
slightest possibility of their being put in execution.
To the exceptions taken by the General-in-Chief at
these two official acts of General Worth, the latter
became greatly incensed, and, permitting his feelings
to pervert his better judgment, became most violently
and bitterly inimical to the general-in-chief. The
result was, that every reflecting
.officer in the army
most deeply regretted a rupture in those friendly re-
lations which for upwards of thirty years had existed
between these two gallant and justly distinguished
military chieftains.

TILE ACADIA STEAMER, Captain Stone, sailed from
Liverpool on Saturday for Halifax and Boston.
TILE TAV.—By the Montrose we have some fur-
ther intelligence respecting the Tay steamer, which left
Southampton with the West India mail on the 2nd December.
It appears she left Corunna on the 20th Wt., and nailed for
M..deira, in hopes of catching the Medway, which left
Southampton on the 17th ult. Fortunately, she succeeded
in meeting the Medway at Madeira, on the 26th ult. The
Tay then transhipped a porti.•n of the West India mail on
hoard the Medway, retaining only the St. Thomas and Porto
I Rico mails, and proceeded to Bermuda, and from thence to
the Gulf, with the Mexican mails. By this arrangement
the West India mails will be delivered about a fortnight
earlier tbau would othirwise have been the case.

LOSS OF HER MAJESTY'S BRIG, " SNAKE."
We have, flays the United Sercice Gazette, been
favoured with the copy of a letter, written by an officer of
her Majesty's brig Snake, Commander Thomas B. Brown,
describing the total lose of that vessel in the Mozambique
Channel, on the 29th of August. The details contacted in
the letter will remove all fear respecting the safety of the
officers and crew. The accident which occasioned the brig's
destruction appears to hare been unavoidable :
Sir,—You will be sony to hear of the total loss of her
Majesty's sloop Snake, whi, h is now lying with her side
open from the port gangway down to the keel, on a coral
reef about six miles to the southward of this anchorage.
After visiting Zanzibar and Anjuan, or Johanna, we
were returning to this port, when, on the after-
noon of the 26th ultimo, if I remember correctly, we made
the land somewhat to the northward. We stood off to
the eastward for the night, under easy sail, and the next
day found that the set had driven us upwards of 50 miles to
the southward. The wind was from the southward and
westward, with a tremendous set directly in the contrary
direction. The latter it was that baffled our endeavours to
reach the port during the next two or three days. At sun-
set, on the 29th, the outer (or easternmost) one of the small
islands off Mozambique, was observed to bear about north.
When these islands ceased to be visible, owing to the
coming obscurity of the night, the Snake steered north-
north-east, so as to pass a couple of points outside of all.
But the tremendous set 1 hsve mentioned, together with a
flood tide driving us in towards the land, the north-north-
east course we were steering became, in fact, a north north
west one, in consequence of which, at 7.45 p.m., we found
ourselves aground, unfortunately, j test at the top of high water.
As the tide receded the vessel heeled over till she reached
her bearings, when site settled down with her deck at an
angle with the horizon, of between 30 and 35 deg. Being
a weak vessel, her butt-ends started, when her lee, or port
side, immediately filled. As, even then, it could scarcely
be credited that the current had set us to the westward, to
, the extent I have described, doubts began to arise as to the
, islands we had seen at sunset being in reality what we had
taken them for. Hence a painful anxiety existed during the
long night we had before us, for we were perfectly aware
that had we to take refuge on shore, at any distance from
Mozambique itself, we could only have maintained a preca-
rious footing, by constant hostility with numerous and war-
like tribes, not unprovided with hre-arms. Tht re was some
- apprehension, also, lest the ship should fall over altoge-
ther on her beam-ends, or the masta go by the board,
neither of which could well have taken place without
the loss of life to some, and severe injuries to others.
But I am truly happy to be able to add that no one has
lost his life, or been hurt in any manaer ; indeed, we have
not had a death on board since we were put in commission,
now nearly twenty months ago. From the inclined position
of the ship, nobody can live on board, and the crew are ac-
commodated on shore abreast of her, at the distance of about
two miles, in excellent tents made with the sails and some
spars. They are busy in saving stores, &c., and will, pro-
bably, be removed to this place in a few dam the governor
baviag removed the soldiers from the San booking* barrack'
to make room for their reception. The French barque-cor-
vette Voltigeur, of 20 guns, arrived here on the 7th instant.
As there is no British man-of-war in the Mozambique Chan-
nel, I believe that, if none arrive here before the end of the
month, merchant vessels will be taken up to convey us to
the Cape.—Mozambique, Sept. 10, 1847.
P.S. Sept. 18th.—I have nothing particular to add since
the foregoing was written. The whole of the crew were re-
moved h eon Monday last, the 13th inst. I have reason to
think thin will reach you before the original, as that was
sent Mai Zanzibar. It was found impossible to get the guns
out by means of the lower masts, as their inclination had al-
ready caused an immense strain on the weather rigging, the
heart of which was gone ; and, owing to the surf, K was
found impossible to rig a derrick on the bottom,ccuisequently
the saving of the guns is fur the present given up. But a Por-
tuguese man-of-war schooner is going out on Monday morning,
manned by a portion of our crew, to watch the breaking up
of the vessel, now near at hand, and, if possible, to.pick up
some of the guns.

DEATH OF TEE EARL OF MORAY.—The demise of
this nobleman took place at DarnawayCastle, Morayshire, late
on Wednesday night. The deceased, who w-s in his 77th year,
had for several years been in delicate health, and having
been attacked with the prevailing epidemic, it became en-
dent that he could not long bear up under it,

lay imprepriators to the exclusive use of this church. A pre.
liininery meeting was held in Septembs r last, tor the par.
pose ot associating together those who were favourable to
the object; and, the requisite means far carrying on than
operations having been adopted, the committee alluded%
hes been formed, and has published the fuliowing explain-
tion of its objects and principles:
The admitted insufficiency of the present revenues of the
church of England to maintain a body of clergy adequate to
her canting wants Ind to the demands of the leer '
population of thin country, and the success, however par-
tial, which has attended the vsriou, expedients adopted with
the view of remedying this state of things, justify a belief
that every member of the church will readily BOW
than and assist an effort to provide • more Wog
and comprehensive system of church endowment
On reference to the report of the ecclesiastical commiseicome
laid before parliament in 1834, it will be seen that the pug
or anadll titoes, anti in many instances both, producing an be-
come exceeding 1,000,0001. sterling, have been alienated fren
4,862, or nearly half of the 10,718 benefices which then es.
i•te d in England and Wales, and that amongst otbrr malts
of chi, severance of tithes from their original &gingko,
there were, at the date of such report, about 4,600 pardbee
wi,huut glebe-houses, and about 4,800 benefices under 2001.
1 per annum. If toe revenues tnus alienated were restored to
their original sacred purpose, a fund would thereby be nips
plied for the relief of the present lamentable spiritual demi-
tuliun of England and Wales. The necessity of r,medyieg
this evil cannot be over-rated ; and not only So the additional
curates' fund and pastoral aid societies, in each succeed-
ing report, deplore their inability to meet the num-
berless applications to them for kelp, but her lildjesty's
ecclesiastical commiudoners in their report fur 1845 expels
their deep regret that the limited amount of their means,
even after the expedients for increasing them, to which,
, antler the sanction of the legislature, they had deemed it
' right to resort, compelled them to leave uetouched a con-
siderable portion of that spiritual destitution, the removal cif
whin h was the main object of the crown in issuing the ori-
ginal commission of inquiry, and of paean:en.. in confirming
its recommeadations. Public attention to the subject bans(
thus been awakened, a meeting was held last yi or, at which
a committee was appointed to arrange the requisite
prelioi-
naries tor associating a body ot clergy and laity, whom
labours should be directed to the collection of funds, will,
the object of regaining alienated tithes, thereby affording Les
all a 'strictly legitimate object fur the dedication of MeM
offerings to the glory of God, and preseutica to owners
of tithes an opportunity to convey the same to the church,
The announcement of this movement at once attracted this
favourable notice of many, and communications from owners
ot unprofitable tithes have been received, showing a readi-
ness on their part to meet the views of the committee, mad,
in some instances, expressing a willingness to make • con-
siderable sacrifice in so doing. Encouraged by these facts,
the committee recommend the following plan of operations
for effecting the objects desired :
" 1. That meads should be presented to all desiring to ea
slat in this work by the formation of • body to be denomi-
nated The Tithe Redemption Trust for the Church et
England and Wales.'
"2. That the affairs of this body be conducted by a board
consisting of clergymen and laymen, and assisted by a secre-
tary and other requisite officers.
" 3. That the two archbishops and the bishops of Eddied
arid Wales be requested to undertake the office of " Coun-
cil of advice and direction," and that no appropriation of
re-acquired tithes or the property of the church be made by
the board without the previous sauction of the council.—
JOHN MANNERS, chairman."
Lord It. Grosvenor, M.P., the Right lion. W. E. Glad-
stone, M.P., the Bishop of Exeter, the Bean ot Chichester,
and Lord J. Manners have consented to act as trustees of this
funds for carrying out this work.

THE FATAL ACCIDENT ON THE SOUTH-
WESTERN RAILWAY.
The brief notice of this accident which we were
enabled to publish on Saturday provis to have bees cornet
in all important particulars. The following additional do-
tails will, however, be read with interest
The exact locale where the accident occurred is a plan
called Rook.heath, a barren piece of moorland, over whkk
the railway crosses by an embankment of tiny feet. From
Woking station there is a gradual ascent of the line for
nearly tour miles towards Southampton, terminating at a
place called Frimtey. It was on this hauls, about two miles
from Woking, that the c ill-ion took place. The passenger-
train was propellid by one of the meet powerful engines be-
longing to the company, the Maseppa. On arriving at the
place above stated the eccentric strap broke, and the works
of the engine were, of course, instantly stopped. Scam
time was occupied in repel& g the broln.n strap, sad
some of the passengers gut out meantime and walked
about the line. Markland had completed the repair Of
the eccentric strap, and was tying up the clack of the kede
pipe, when he requested the head guard, by the light if
whose lamp he was working, to desire the passengers to tee
same their seats, as he should be ready to proceed in/us
than five minutes. The guard had scarcely obeyed his ill-
structiooN, when the luggage train, propelled by the
Rhinocero., a very powerful locomotive, was obeened
rounding the curve at this part of the Hue, and not men
than 200 yards from the passenger train. Although the
speed at winch the luggage train was travelling, by the CPl-
current testimony of several witnesses, does not spin:sr*,
have exceeded six or seven miles an hour, there was no time
to warn poor Markland of his danger. The poor fellow was
himself utterly unconscious of it, inasmuch as the load
noise occasioned by the blowing off of the steam from hi
own engine entirely prevented his hearing the appresek
of the luggage trim; and when the collision took
place, being still engaged under his engine, lie
was crushed to death by the as —pan, his skull heal
nearly beaten to pieces, and his left arm fractured at the
shoulder joint. The force with which the luggage trail
struck the passenger train had the effect of driving the latter
forwards 200 or 300 yards. All the carriages passed over,/
mutilated bode of Markland, and he was taken up quit
dead. The stoker of the passenger train, Thomas Calvert,
sustained very serious injuries ; the index finger of his right
hand being turn off, and his head being much bruised and
hurt. The driver and stoker of the luggage train were un-
