NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.
PORTSMOUTH, TUESDAY.—It is publicly announced
that Rear-Admiral Dundas, C. 8., second naval Lord of
the Admiralty, is elevated to the post of first naval Lord,
vice Sir Charles Adam, appointed to Greenwich. We
trust this is correct on every account, and hope that, in
a successor to fill the vacancy caused by the elevation of
Admiral Dundas, the service will be equally fortunate.
The Avenger steam-frigate, Captain S. C. Dacres,
Went out yesterday to join Sir Charles Napier's squadron
at Spithead. She passed close by the St. Vincent, when
Sir Charles hailed her, and said he would come on board
and try her rate at the measured mile in Stokes's Bay,
Which he did, when her mean rate was ascertained to be
9 1 min. 5 sec. knots. The vessel is hampered with more
Weight than she ought to be made to carry, if the prin-
eiPle of fairness in steamers' weights is to be regarded
Its having anything to do with a trial experiment. •To
those unacquainted with what dead weight is in a ship's
trim, we give the following explanation:—
Provisions under hatches for 250 men for 84 days:—
Water, 74 tons; coals stowed in bunkers, 409 tons; ditto
in engine room, 75 tons.
Weight on engines, shafts, boilers, coal boxes, paddle-
wheels, floats,
141 b. spare gear, &c., complete, 400 tons. 2 cH t.

One matter we cannot understand in the trim of this
steamer, she has, packed up on the main deck, 60 tons
o

re that, during the short time of employment yes-

HE LATE COLLISION ON TUE BRIGHTON RAIL-
WAY.---From further inquiries yesterday, it appears that
a "pick up train " arrived at the New•cross station at
heminutes past nine o'clock, and a Croydon train was
In n due. The " pick up train" was not able to get away
!time, and a signal was given to stop the Croydon
train; that having been done the Brighton excursion
train came up, when a collision took place, by which,
fromthe report made to the directors, it appears that
some injuries of a serious but not dangerous character
have taken place to parties in the first and second-class
carriages of the Croydon train. Two gentlemen had
their ribs broken, one passenger has received a severe
cut over the eye, and another a wound on the leg, and
three ladies more or less hurt, but no danger is appre-
hended in any case. Only one of the parties injured
Was taken to Guy's Hospital, and he is doing well. The
greatest attention was paid to the sufferers, medical aid
being immediately obtained, and as soon as possible they
Were sent to their residences in cabs. Mr. Rothwell,
one of the printers' committee, had five teeth
.a_sooc 'mocked out, and his mouth severely cut. Some females,
in the excursion train, received slight injury, but
Inve:tr,ge done to the carriage is trifling. A strict in-
t k gatlen into all the circumstances of the case will
a e place before the directors and officers of the com-
pany at the New-cross station.
DISTRESSED NEEDLEWOMEN'S SOClETY.—Yester-
day a meeting, consisting chiefly of ladies, supporters
of this society, was held at the Hanover- square Rooms.
Lord Dudley Stuart (in the absence of the president,
Mr. Alderman Fairbrother) took the chair. The hono-
rary secretary read a correspondence between the cora-
Mittee and Sir G. Grey, from which it appeared that the
Right Honourable Gentlemen had refused an interview
with a deputation who were to explain to him the great
injury done to sempstresses by allowing shirts and other
clothing to be made at the lowest rate in prisons and
workhouses, and by sanctioning contracts for the making
of the uniforms of the police, army, and navy at
starvation wages. In his last answer, Sir G. Grey said
that his predecessor in office, Sir James Graham, had in
1844 instituted an inquiry into the subject, and the re-
sult was that the contract system was not to be inter-
fered with. The honorary secretary said that, had it not
been for this system of low wages, one firm in the City
Would have given remunerating employment to 2,000
sempstresses. Resolutions were passed in furtherance
of the objects of the society, and deprecating the refusal
of Sir George Grey to listen to the representations of
the committee. The chairman having received the usual
courtesies, the meeting separated.
HONESTY THE BEST POLICY. —A circumstance

cibly by
the Duchess of Cleveland, in St. James's
illustrating the above adage,
and at

O'Reilly, belonging to that useful class of persons yclept

attendant on the nobility's balls, the Opera, &c.,
afor
had
just alighted from their carriage and passed through
the hall, when O'Reilly brought in, and handed to one of
the Duke's servants, a massive diamond stomacher,
Which he stated be had just picked up outside the door.
Inquiry as to its ownership was immediately made, and
the fact having been rumoured about, Lady Pakenham,
whose property the valuable article proved to be, dis-
covered her loss, ;within a few minutes after entering
the drawing-room. Sir Hercules, on ascertaining the
manner in which the restoration had been made, came
to the hall door and called for O'Reilly, who described
to the Gallant General where he had picked up the lost
treasure. Sir Hercules complimented the old man in
riod set terms on his honesty, and desired him to call at
s residence, in Berkeley-square, yesterday morning, to
receive the reward of his praiseworthy conduct. The
,k"°toacher was stated by Sir Hercules to be worth more
'an, 300/.
th The will of Mr. O'Connell has just been proved in
e Prerogative Court here. The personal property is
sworn to be under 25,0001., and he has, among other
quests, left 1,0004 to Mr. Ray, the Secretary to the

AMERICA.

ARRIVAL OF THE .CAMBRIA.

LIVERPOOL, TUESDAY.—The British and North
American Royal Mail steamer Cambria, Captain
Judkins, arrived in the Mersey this morning, at half-
past ten, with the usual mails from America, Canada,
&c., and 135 passengers ; amongst whom we notice
the Hon. Richard Pakenham, late her Majesty's
Plenipotentiary at Washington. She left Boston on
the Ist and Halifax on the 3d instant, and has,
threfore, made the voyage in eleven days eighteen
hours, including her call and stay at Halifax. The
Caledonian reached Halifax on her outward voyage on
the 2d instant, and proceeded to Boston on the same
day.
The news of Mexican affairs is not of an important
nature, no decisive results having taken place either
from the advance of General Scott upon the capital,
or from the negotiations with which Mr. Trist was
entrusted by the Government at Washington. It is
said that the expectation was general that the war
was wearing itself out, and that peace must soon
come as a necessity felt by both parties. In America
it is evident that it would be welcomed on any terms.
In the latest intelligence from the army it is reported
that a deputation from the capital met General
Scott on his approach to the city, with offers to ne-
gotiate. It is added that they were rejected; but
upon what grounds we have as yet no information.
It can hardly be doubted, however, that the approach
of the American army to the capital has given addi-
tional strength to the peace party.
No intelligence of Herrera's presidential election
was officially known ; but it was generally believed,
and this favoured the peace party. The clergy, too,
are understood to oppose a continuance of the war,
and have declined further contributions to it.
The warfare has assumed entirely a banditti cha-
racter. The resistance, observes a New York jour-
nal, seems wholly confined now to the guerilla bands
that infest the route from Vera Cruz to the capital,
and attack the trains which pass between those
points. A large train, under the escort of 800 men,
commanded by Colonel M'lntosh, which left Vera
Cruz on the 4th instant, was attacked, and obliged
to halt for reinforcements ; on the 6th and 7th

it sustained some loss in waggons and provisions,
mules, and in killed and wounded, the particu-
lars of which, as far as known, are detailed below.
General Scott does not contemplate, it is be-
lieved, any future regular transportation of sup-
plies or ammunition from Vera Cruz, but designs
to subsist his army in the country itself, pay-
ing for whatever is taken. He found no diffi-
culty at Jalapa, and it is believed will have found
none in Puebla, in negotiating drafts upon his
Government, for which the silver is paid to him on
the spot; and thus, as to means, he is rendered inde-
pendent of supplies from the United States through
Vera Cruz. The reinforcements to his army will be
able always to make their own way, and it is reason-
able to believe that before this General Scott is in the
city of Mexico, small as will be the moveable columns
which, after garrisoning the chief points on the route,
he could retain for the occupation of the capital.
But he will occupy it more as a pacificator than a
conqueror, and will be welcomed by the mass of its
people.
The business of Mr. Trist, sent from the State
Department in Washington, is known to be to bring
the Mexicans, if possible, to terms—and those terms
consist, as is well understood, in offering to pay for
all the territory we desire to obtain—to assume the
debts of Mexico to our own citizens, and to let her
off without paying the expenses of the war. All
these objects might, to be sure, have been obtained at
first without any war—by quiet negotiation; but
the desire and necessity of peace are so great and so
clear, that this country will be content to have it,
even on such terms.
With Brazil there is a misunderstanding arising
from the arrest of some sailors belonging to an
American ship of war, and of one or two officers
who interfered by force to rescue their sailors from
the police. Mr. Wise, United States Minister in
Brazil, resented the arrest of these officers, and
demanded their immediate release—and while the
matter was in abeyance absented himself from a
grand ceremonial at the Court, for the baptism of a
royal infant. In aggravation of this slight, more-
over, the transports with the troops on board for
California, having touched at Rio Janeiro at that
juncture, Mr. Wise ostentatiously attended the
baptism, on board one of these ships, of the child of a
soldier's wife, born on the passage, and made an
address on the occasion, contrasting the two baptisms
in a manner that gave fresh offence to the Court at
Brazil. Mr. Wise has since, in pursuance of a pre-
viously expressed determination, returned to the
United States. Mr. Tod, his successor, sailed from
here in the United States ship-of-the-line Ohio, about
ten clays ago, and the confident belief is entertained
that this not very dignified squabble will be satisfac-
torily adjusted. The Brazilian Minister resident at
Washington, Mr. Lisboa, who has rendered himself
very acceptable in this country by the amenity of his
intercourse, is said to be recalled by his own Go-
vernment, for not having demanded some immediate
and categorical satisfaction and explanations of the
transactions at Rio.

LATMT FROM MEXICO.
(From the New Orleans Delta, June 20.)
The following highly important intelligence was com-
municated to us by Lieutenant Floyd and Mr. Williams,
of the 2d Pennsylvania volunteers,' who came over in
the steam-ship Galveston this morning.
On the Bth a small reconnoitering party, together with
some citizens and disbanded soldiers, in number about

150, with 75 armed men and 30 mounted, left Puebla for
Vera Cruz. This party was under command of Captain
Bainbridge, of the 3d Artillery.
On leaving Jalapa, and getting near Cerro Gordo,
this party was informed that it would not be prudent to
go through the pass, as there were about 4,000 Mexicans
in the chapparal along the pass.
Previous to this the officers who had gone to the rear
of the train were fired at from the chapparel at the
mouth of the pass; the party was organized and marched
through without meeting an enemy, arrived lathe bridge
that evening. Whilst they were • bivouacking on the •
other side of the bridge, being so fatigued that they were
unable to furnish a guard, they were informed that some
persons were barricading the bridge. A guard was then
stationed between the bridge and the encampment, to
prevent the party being surprised. At this time signal
lights on the ridges and cliffs were distinctly seen. Be-
fore daylight the scouting party was sent out, and also a
party to clear the bridge, which was done without any
opposition.
T?e main body of the party then passed c ver the
bridge, everything appearing to be safe, all danger being
past.
Lieutenant Williams and Mr. Frazer were sent back
to bring on the train on the other side of the bridge.
Just as they were entering the bridge a party of 25
Mexicans appeared on the bridge and fired several vol-
lies on them. The waggonmaster and four others, who
were passing the bridge, were fired on and the whole
five killed, and the waggon was captured, which, how-
ever, was of no great value.
After the fire had ceased a party of Lancers appeared
on the bridge, and seemed to be preparing to charge,but
seeing that Captsin Bainbridge's party were preparing
to receive them, wheeled their horses and galloped off.
Bainbridge pursued his march in good order, followed
by 400 or 500 foot Lancers, who hung upon his rear
and flanks for four or five miles, but at a respectful
distance. Thus hemmed in, this little party pur-
sued its way, until it arrived where Colonel
M'lntosh had encamped with his large train.
The Mexicans who had attacked Bainbridge's party
were the same who had compelled Colonel M'lntosh to
halt and wait reinforcements. The party remained that
night in M'lntosh's camp, and during the whole time
the Mexicans kept up a continual fire on the camp,
approaching with the greatest boldness very near to our
sentinels.

On the next day Captain Bainbridge's party resumed
its march to Vera Cruz, being joined by Captain
Duperu's U. S. Dragoons, who were sent back to get
their horses.

The company, with its gallant captain, had behaved
very handsomely at the attack on M'lntosh's camp. In-
deed,it was generally admitted that Colonel M'lntosh's
command was saved by the gallantry of Duperu's party.
Bainbridge's party continued their march to Vera Cruz,
where they arrived in safety.
In the meantime Duperu's party having a long return
train to guard, and being threatened by a large body of
Lancers, halted at Santa Fel!h ere they were charged by
hailgarnegatmlyasny upeorfiotrhfeoerneee,m which they gallantly repulsed,
them-
selves. It was said, however, atnhdatsusoffmereinogf noohrlowssaggohs

com-
mands were then joined, making in all abou t en
hundred men, with two howitzers, under commands
General Cadwallader and pushed on towards the Na.of
tional-bridge. General Cadwallader occupied the heights
commanding the bridge, from which the enemy had;
fired on Captain Bainbridge's party, where he was at-,
tacked by a large force of the Mexicans posted on the
ridges and chapparal, and some hard fighting was car-
ried on for several hours, the Mexicans losing more than
one hundred men, and General Cadwallader losing some
fifteen killed, and thirty or forty wounded.
The Mexicans were repulsed, and the bridge was
successfully passed by General Cadwallader, who was on
his way to Jalapa.
Since the above was written, we have learned that in
the affair between General Cadwallader and the Mexi-
cans, at the National-bridge, the company of Lieutenant
Blakey, of the newly-raised Voltigeurs, with two howit-
zers, charged the barricade, and swept them with a few
charges from the howitzers. On passing through, how-
ever, Lieutenant Blakey received a heavy fire -from the
enemy on the ridge, which commands the road, by which
he sustained a loss of one killed and four wounded—the
Lieutenant himself being wounded in the leg. They
also lost several horses. The heights -were then
charged on the right and left of the road, and gallantly
carried—the enemy flying from before him in great con
fusion. When General Cadwallader had passed the
bridge he was attacked by a large party of Fueriilas, who

kept up a continual fire on his men for a long distence at
Cerro Gordo. It was thought, from reports of hearing
firing, that the enemy had madeji stand in great num-
bers, though no apprehension was entertained for the
safety of General Cadwallader's command, who was
moving in a bold and steady manner, the only way to
deal with the Mexicans.
General Scott was at Puebla at the last accounts.' The
editors of El Acro Iris had received dates from .the
capital to the 2d of June. Santa Anna had a second
time sent in his resignation of the Presidency ; Congress
had not, however, up to that time, accepted it. He had
also made a formal resignation of his office as Com-
mander-in-Chief of the army, which, like his resignation
of the Presidency, remained in abeyance, Congress not
having acted on either. Rejou, and five other generals,
whose names are not given, have been arrested and sent
to the different states for confinement.

The estimated loss of Colonel APlntosh's party is
about 4,000 dolls.' For miles the road is covered with
empty boxes and bacon sides, which had been captered
by the enemy.
There are no preparations to defend any point be-
tween Puebla and the capital. All the odds and ends
of the army are collected in the city, about 20,000 in
number, but. are poorly armed and' miserable material.
The gallant Captain Walker has commenced his work
of retaliation on the guerillas. On the morning of the
Bth instant he started with his command from Perote, on
an expedition of some distance into the interior. During
the expedition he sueceded in capturing nineteen
guerillas and an alcade. He has employed them in
cleaning the streets and the sinks.
A letter had been received in Vera Cruz on the 15th
instant, previous to the sailing of the Galveston, direct
from the head-quarters of General Scott, stating that
General Scott had issued orders for the removal of the
government from Vera Cruz to Tuxpan. This change
was said to be in part owing to the sickness in Vera
Cruz, and because communications could be more easily
kept up between Tuxpan and Puebla than between the
latter place and Vera Cruz.

COMMERCIAL.
(From the Courier and Inquirer.)
NEW YORK, JUNE 30.—The business of this country
is active and prosperous to a rare degree. All pursuits
are thriving, money is abundant, and the prospects of the
growing crops most promising. The news by the Cam-
bria, of the 4th instant, the latest we yet have, disap-
pointed speculation, and brought down all prices for bread-
stuffs. The fall of flour may be stated at least one dollar
per barrel between prices now and those ruling imme-
diately before the Cambria's arrival; and in wheat and
Indian corn a fall of about 20 cents per bushel. The
rate of exchange upon England continues steady at
from 6 to 61, and unless it falls below that, coin will
not be brought from abroad. The receipts of flour
and grain from the interior continue large, and we are
more and more confirmed in the view we have uniformly
taken of this subject, that the stock in the country is
larger than we can find means of transporting to the
seaboard for shipment. Freights are moderate, and con-
sequently exportations steady and large.
The wheat harvest in the Southern States has com-
menced, and looks well. The hot weather of the last
few days has greatly advanced the Indian corn, which
was planted late, and now, unless most unseasonable
weather should occur in August, an enormous crop of
this grain may be safely counted on. The potato, too,
which to a much greater extent than ever before has
been planted in the Eastern and Middle States, looks
very well. It is, indeed, too early yet, before the plant
has blossomed, to speak with confidence of its exemption
from disease, but thus far the vines, as we learn from
all quarters, look well and vigorous.
The credit of Government continues good, and the
price of United States stock, and indeed of other sound
stocks, is high, with a steady demand and upward ten-
dency. The great accession to the wealth of the country
by reason of the large and profitable exportation of
bread-stuffs, and its general diffusion, are nowhere more
strikingly illustrated than by the fact that all the money
needed for carrying on the war, some thirty millions,
in addition to the ordinary revenue, had been furnished
by our capitalists, and the stock bears a considerable
premium—a premium that will be still further enhanced
if peace should ensue. Very considerable railroad enter-
prises likewise find the requisite capital; that, for in-
stance, of completingsthe Erie Railroad to connect New
York, through its south-eastern counties, with Lake
Erie, near the confines of Pennsylvania; and two new
and very important roads, the one parallel with the
Hudson River, between New York and Albany, and
another to connect New York with New Haven, and thus
complete an inland line of railroads between this city
and Boston. These are expensive works, yet for all
these the capital has been found without apparently
diminishing or injuriously diverting capital usually em-
ployed in commercial and business operations.
The immense accession of foreign immigrants will not
be felt as an evil, at a moment when the demand for
labour is constant and heavy works are in progress.
The sickly condition in which some of them arrive has
indeed occasioned solicitude about the public health, but
the precautions taken at this port, certainly, and neces•
sarily at other ports, will at once present the best
security for the recovery of the sick, and against the
spread of the disease—ship fever.
Upon the whole the picture we are enabled to present
of the condition of our country is most satisfactory;
and come but peace with Mexico, and we shall be indeed
most fortunate in all our relations.
