HALF-PAST ONE.

From the New York Courier of the 16th June, whicheen-
tains the following important news from Mexico, advices from
Tampico to the 19th May have been received by the way of
New Orleans, stating that General Santa Anna's troops
attacked on the 6th May the Vanguard of. the Militia of Za-
catecas, and compelled them to fall back on the town. On
the 7th, having concentrated all his forces near the position of
Zacatecas, in front of the city, Santa Anna dispatched a supe-
rior officer to the Governor of the State, and to•the Com-
mander of the Forces, to effect an amicable arrangement.
But this proving unsuccessful, on the sth a general
battle ensued, in which it would appear that the people
of Zacatecas defended themselves for four successive hours
with great bravery against a well-disciplined artily, com-
manded by the best General of the Republic; but at last
one of the columns, composed of undisciplined troops, gave
way, and disorder ensued. The troops of Santa Anna drove
their enemies from every position, and finally possessed them-
ices of the city of Zacatecas. The remainder of the Patriot
army dispersed, in part towards Durargo. The number of
dead and wounded amounts to 800 men. The first act of
Santa Anna was to cause his authority, as well as that of the
Supreme Court of Mexico, to be recognised.
The letters from Tampico further add, " That in several
States all obedience to the Government of Santa Anna had
been refused ; the people had risen on the troops at Chiapa,
killed their commander, and proclaimed their separation."
Consols, which were buoyant in the morning, and done at
924 for the Account, have receded to 92k to 1, owing to a
great supply of money stock in the market, this being the first
day for making transfers in Consols. Exchequer Bills, 31 33 ;

HERRING FISIIERY.—There has been little or
nothing done in the herring fishing at Wick, for the last fort-
night ; but the usual period of commencement is not until the
20th of July. Several hundred barrels were caught at Wick
and on the Latheron coast, in the end of May and beginning
of June—an unusual fishing at that season. The quality of
the fish, however, was indifferent, and those who speculated
in them cannot, it is believed, realize their outlays. The first
herrings sent to the Hamburgh market, are reported to have
brought 201. per barrel, but the later shipments for that market
are scarcely considered to pay. The West Highland fishing
has been as yet also unproductive, the North , winds having
operated much against them in that quarter. Every pi•epar-
ation is making at Wick, with boats, nets, barrels, &c.
,; and
the people are elated with the prospect Of an abundant fishing.
Still great fears are entertained by the curers, lest the trade
should be unprofitable, 'owing to the high prices given to the
fishermen. —ln%i~ Hess Ysotiriet~• ...
