A grand banquet was given at Vera Cruz on the
16th, in honour of the French revolution. The Vera
Cruz Free American remains of opinion that there is
little prospect of peace. The state of Mexico is in
favour of General Herrera as President, he having
received 150,000 out of 166,000 votes. The Con-
gress of Vera Cruz was to assemble on the 30th ;
that of Puebla met on the 10th ; Don J. M. Orsario
was appointed Governor of the Plata State. There
are 2,000 Mexican troops at Queretaro, and yet on
the 12th a diligence was attacked within half a mile
of the city, by eight men, who fired upon the pas-
sengers; the latter, however, showed fight, and killed
one of the robbers.

A. terrible fire is now raging in this city, the
population of which is 20,000. The yellow store-
houses are destroyed, and also the Elbira stores.
Forty buildings have already been consumed; the
Steam-boat Hotel and the American Hotel are both
in flames; and one-third of the city is threatened with
destruction. The Advertiser newspaper has also
fallen a prey to the devouring element.
LATEST FROM CUBA.
(From the New lark Herald of the 4th of May.)
We learn from Captain Hilton of the schooner Sea,
which arrived to-day from Cadenas, that when she
left, on the 14th ult., the white inhabitants were in
hourly anticipation of a general insurrection among
the negroes. The Governor was using great effortsto suppress any attempt; he had already
imprisoned
a number of blacks supposed to be the ringleaders,
and also stationed troops upon many of the planta-
tions in the neighbourhood of the town.
Business generally was very inactive, and freights
dull. Molasses firmer, at
A number of planters had finished grinding, and
crops were reported rather light. There had been
but one fall of rain for three months, and many cattle
were dying in consequence of the great drought.

ADELPHI THEATRE'

was brought out at this theatre last night, under the
title of Going to the Derby. Wright is the hero--a
