Out miscellaneous advises mention that the cele-
brated Kosciusko will case had been decided in favour
of the creditors of the late Calonel Bamford, the ad-
mieistralor to the estate. The "Vete York Herald
gives the following summary of a large meeting held
in New York to express sympathy with the efforts of
the Catholics of Ireland to establish a university for
tnemselves, and to render them assistance in carrying
out that object :
"It was crowd. ,d almost to snffocation. The greatest
enthusiasm and good humour prevailed. Archbishop
Hughes delivered a speech of great length, ability, and
logical acumen. He did not demolish the Socialists and
Red 112 publicans, but he took a fling at Kossuth, and
at the Times, the enemy of Kossuth. tie disposed very
summarily of the claims of the Anglo-Saxon race,' and
contended strenuously for Lis own particular views as to
the necessity of a religious education, and held that the
State had nothing to do with the matter."
It was rumoured that Archbishop Hughes had
been made a cardinal. Colonel Horace L. Kinney,
tae great Texas landowner, had offered Kassut h and
hti companions 10,000 acres of land if they desire to
lac ate in that country. The laud is situated on the
Nencea River.
The New York Herald contains the following from
its Washington correspondent:—
" Washington, Nov. 17.
" I cannot learn that there is foundation iu fact in the
warlike rumours dispatched from this city by certain
cosresponclsnrs, as to our relations with Spain. The
stafeinent of the matter, which I telegraphed you several
•Lys since, is, I have reason to believe, an outline of
facts, all thc, ditNoulty in the way of immediate set-
...tient being that the Spanish Mini,ter has been in-
-, ucted to kende a claim for damages done to the pro-
- ty of Spanish citiz vas in New Orleans in his demand
:ch of courso could not be granted, as it is purely a
I matter. Tine is necessary for him to eommuni-
will his Government and explain the difficulty—a
.ieulty which his own good sense would at once prompt
ato wave, had he the discretional power. There is
bub; however, but that the terms offered by Mr.
;hater, alike honourable to us and liberal to Spain,
be accepted."
'he New Yorh Herald has the following, referring
'-as. Tehuantepec route :
The tel' graphic dispatches in yesterday's papers
d that Governor Letcher had assured the Mexican
iorities that the American Cabinet would not sus-
the provisions (proceedings, we suppose) of the
alatepee Company; and, alas, that the company
negotiating with Mexico to surrender their claims
ertain terms. The facts, we understand, are that the
ear riven to Senor Dan Jose Garay by the Governs
t of Santa Anna was sold lay Mr. Garay to the house
iargous and Co. for 3,000,000 dolls. The 11,-xican
,;rument has offered thi. company 1,000,000 dolls. to
,ask this charter, which, it is understood, they do-
to take. Mr. Letcher, most likely disavowed, on
ad of the Government, certain proceedings of the
~litian'epfc surveying party last summer, hut he will
he proud to see that justice is done to the American con-
t:ar!tors. The charter is very clear and explicit. A re-
p L-t, of the survey of the whole of this route between
Caatxacoalcos and Tehuantepec nail appear in a few
walls, by which the superior advantages of this rAite
over all otkers, either for a railroad or canal, will be
ti.mousirated. Meantime the work of opening a road
has been arrested by the Mexican Government. It
will ba the duty of Mr. Letcher to look into this
bu,siness."
Ada ices from •llavannah report that Mr. Thrasher
