MARLBRO'-STREET—(THIS DAY.)
There was not a single charge of the least interest
to the public before the Court this morning, the whole
time of the magistrate being occupied in disposing of
fewa drunken charges.
BENEVOLENT DONATIONS.—The following note,
enclosing a Bank of England note fur 101., has been
received from Mr. Clack, the manager of the Union
Bank, Argylle-place, for the use of the poor-box at
this court :—" Miss D.'s respects to Mr. Clack and
requests he will appropriate the enclosed in any
manner he thinks most useful for the relief of the
distressed."

The receipt of the above the donor begs may be
acknowledged in The Sun.

THAMES.—(THIS DAY.)
Three powerfully-built seamen, who gave their
names Frederick Bryan, Edward Walker, and Ralph
7owcll, with a woman named Sarah Bryan, were
charged with violently assaulting and injuring Mrs.
Elizabeth Kaines, landlady of the Moon and Seven
Stars public-house, St. George-street, Ratcliffe-
highway.
It appeared that between twelve and one o'clock
last night, just as Mrs. Kaines was about to close her
house, the four prisoners entered and wanted to he
supplied with a pot of porter. This Mrs. Kaines
reused, when they became very abusive, and Walker
forced his way round the counter, and seizing Mrs.
Kaines by the shoulders, he dealt her several violent
blows in the face, and with the toe of his boot in-
flicted a kick on her stomach, from which this morn-
ing she was suffering severely. The other prisoners
then rushed on her and knocked her down, and with
savage exclamations beat her about the head most
severely. She screamed out "murder" and "police,"
and two men came to her assistance and rescued her
from their violence.

This statement having been corroborated,
Mr. YARDLEY observed that it was a most cowardly
and aggravated assault on a defenceless and unpro-
tected female. Walker appeared to have been the
worst, and he should fine him 405., or fourteen days'
imprisonment. The others he should sentence to pay
a fine of 205., or eight days' imprisonment.
They were locked up in default.

WORSHIP-STREET.—(THIS DAY.)
Marian Laycock, late a servant in the employment
of Mr. Slater, silk mercer and draper, of No. 17,
North-place, Kingsland-road, was brought up for
final examination, charged with robbing her master
of silks, satins, shawls, &c., &c., the particulars of
which appeared at the time in the "Evening Sun."
Since then, the officer Linzay, had traced a great
portion of the goods to the prisoners mother-in-law,
Charlotte Walliby, at No. 3, Essex-street, Commer-
cial-road. These were also identified by Mr. Slater,
as his property, in addition to those found in the pos-
session of the prisoner Laycock. The depositions
were now ordered to be made out, in order for the
full committal to Newgate for trial of Marian Lay-
cock, for robbing her employer Mr. Slater, as also,
for that of Charlotte Wallsby, her mother-in-law, as
a receiver of the same, well knowing them to have
been stolen.

THE UNITED STATES
AND M EXIC

ARRIVAL OF THE CAMBRIA.

LIVERPOOL, MONDAY.

The royal mail steamer Cambria, Captain Judliins

with the usual mails and ninety passengers, arrived
here this evening. She left Boston on the Ist, and
Halifax on the 3d instant, and has been delayed by
severe weather rather longer than usual. The Cam-
bria has brought 60,0001. in specie ; she met the
Caledonia at Halifax on the 2d instant, all well.
It will be perceived that there is no later news from
Mexico than that received a week ago by the West
India mail steamer ; the intelligence from that city
reached only to the 29th September, and from Vera
Cruz to the 14th October. The New York courier of
the 31st ult. says—

Our last European paper of the 15th instant failed
to impart what this one in like manner will fail in,
any official dispatches from General Scott concerning
his recent operations and actual condition in Mexico.
Owing to the interruption of communication between
Vera Cruz and the capital, either these dispatches
have not been sent, or have been intercepted. But
the main occurrences of the severe fighting that took
place previously to the occupation of the capital, and
the actual undisturbed possession of it by the Ameri-
can army, we know, as well from Mexican accounts,
as from many private letters which have reached this
country.
The dates from the city of Mexico are to the 29th
ult., when all was quiet there. The orders of the
day of General Scott, whose available force in the
midst of that hostile city is known not to exceed
seven thousand men, indicate the greatest desire
to spare the vanquished, and to insure the safety
of his own soldiers. There is no example known
to us of such self-restraint of soldiers flushed with vic-
tory, and outraged, after the event, by those they had
subdued.

Puebla is known,to have fallen into the hands of
the Mexicans, but the American garrison under
Colonel Childs had retired with all their materiel, and
occupying neighbouring heights, held the city under
their fire. A reinforcement under General Lane,
uniting with Colonel Lally, who was at Jalapa on
the 30th ult., and thus amounting to some 3,500 men,
has, before this, it is possible, reinstated the American
garrison in Puebla, and proceeded to join General
Scott in Mexico. Another force of some 2,000 men
had marched from Vera Cruz to open the route, and
it now will be the effort of the authorities at home to
garrison the chief places on the route, and keep it
permanently open.
Of the present whereabouts of Santa Anna or of
his purposes, there is no definite information, nor is it
easy to say where resides or is to be found any por-
tion of the Government of Mexico.
Under such circumstances peace is impossible, if
for no other reason than that there is no administra-
tion in Mexico with which to make it.
The plan now in favour at Washington is to rein-
force all the armies—to hold what we have conquered
—to levy heavy subsidies and military supplies from
the Mexicans—and, forbearing any further offer to
negotiate, to await until Mexico shall sue for peace.
This seems to be the determination of the President,
who has undoubtedly caused Mr. Trist to be recalled,
and it remains to be seen whether it will be ratified
by Congress, which is to assemble in the first week
of December.

Meantime the country is contented and prosperous,
at ease in its money affairs, and thriving in all its
pursuits.

The harvests have been abundant, yet the prices
keep up. The exports, however, are small to Europe,
and so also is our stock of bread stuffs on hand.

Exchange in Europe may be quoted on England
at from 9/ to
.I; for 60. day bills of well-known City
houses. On France 525 a 5 22.

There has been an export of silver from this port
to France within the last fortnight of about half a
million of dollars, as follows :

Dollars.
Per Philadelphia ... 49,723 silver
lowa
Missouri 65,500
Havre
There will be an export by the Cambria of gold,
variously estimated at from 200,000 dolls. or 400,000
dolls. It will not be short of the lowest sum, but
will, so far as we can obtain information here at this
writing, not reach the larger sum.
These shipments are the result less of the rate at
which bills of exchange are selling, than of want of
confidence in any bills—for even when sellers here
are undoubted, such is the distrust of English houses
brought about by the recent failures in that country
—and hardly less by the indiscreet and, as we deem
them, unjustifiable surmises transmitted from Lon-
don, by men who should know better, about expected
failures, and crashes that were to shake the commer-
cial credit of the whole country—that remitters who
want to be sure of their funds being available in Eng-
land ship gold, though it cost them from 1 to 1 per
cent. more than good bills.;
If the export of gold should continue to any con-
siderable extent—which, however, we do not look for
—it would, in combination with the drain constantly
in operation of the Sub-Treasury law—cause our
banks to hold up in their discounts.
As a matter of fact, the quarterly return which
will be made by the banks of this city on the Ist
proximo will show a diminution of specie on hand
since Ist August (the date of the last return), of
between three and four millions of dollars, leaving
them now with something less than seven millions in
their vaults. Much the largest portion of these
millions have been withdrawn from the banks by the
operation of the Sub-Treasury law, which requires
the payment of all dues to the Government in coin,
and of this coin a good deal has been sent to Mexico.
If to this drain should be added, by reason of any
rise in exchange, or growing distrust of bills, a drain
to Europe—a pressure for money, of which other-
wise, or from other causes, there is no danger—must
ensue here. But of such a drain, we repeat, we
have little expectation, if the Caledonia, which will
be due in a few days, shall bring less discouraging
accounts from England, and especially if she shall
disprove the forebodings of evil of the London letter
writers, to whom we have alluded.

We look upon it as certain that England will need
supplies of bread-stuffs from this country in the
spring, notwithstanding her good harvest—and if so,
the tendency of coin will be to and not from us.
The New York canals this year will yield over
three and a half million of dollars in tolls—the re-
venue from the Pennsylvania public works will also
be larger than heretofore, but unhappily the destruc-
tion occasioned some weeks ago, by the overflow of
various streams consequent upon long-continued
rains, has interrupted the use of these works at this
the most active part of the year—and hence the
amount oftreceipts will be diminished, while a large
extra outlay for repairs will be required.
In all the other states the public works are pros-
perous and productive, and such is the condition of
the whole country.
It was rumoured that Major Lally's escort had
joined Colonel Childs, and that they had defeated the
guerillas and recaptured Puebla.
The report that General Rea was at Puebla h
fully confirmed, and the Genius of Liberty of the
27th ult. says, " Our troops under Col. Childs were
bombarding the city from the surrounding heights."
The same paper of the 2d instant has the following :
—" General Santa Anna, never so badly discomfited,
was, at the latest accounts, at Puebla. His force,
after its junction with that:of General Rea, amounted
in infantry and cavalry to 3,000 men, and was quar-
tered in the Convent of St. Carmen. The Americans,

mentioned in most of the Mexican papers
as being mixed up in some scheme or conspiracyto
establish a monarchy in Mexico. Mr. Trist is re-
called. No official dispatches had been received at
the War department from General Scott. The
po-
sition of General Taylor is likely tope a precarious
one, a Mexican rising having taken place on the Rio
Grande, extending from that river to the Sierra
Madre. General Urrea was said to be at the head
of 12,000 men. The Mexican Congress was to meet
at Queretaro on the sth November.
