MEXICO.

The news from the west coast of Mexico is im-
portant. The operations of the united force of
the Generals Alvarez, father and son, had been
successful, and the revolutionary troops under
Generals Vicario and Juan Antonio were utterly
routed at Chelapa after most severs fighting, which
endured for about four days. The elder Alvarez
had previously driven Vicario from the city of
Chilpanzingo with a small force of artillery. When
Chelapa was taken Alvarez ordered it to be sacked,
after the most approved 'fashion of vengeful
soldiers. He was well obeyed, for the most fright-
ful excesses were committed by his men. Neither
age nor sex was spared. General Antonio died
after his defeat, and Vicario was at Yguata in pro-
secution of his plans of revolt. Cuarnavaca city had
declared for him.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE. (This Day.)

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

THIEVES IN DIFFICULTIES.—James Button, John
Jeffcoat, and William Sarsfield, three young men, well
Beadon, charged with being found Mitering stout
puklic streets for the purpose of committing a felony.
Sergeant Crocker, 9 C, deposed that on the previous
afternoon, he was in Prince's-street, Leicester-square, in
company with Colo, 317 A, and Joy, 338 A, when his
att 'n, ion was attracted to the prisoner Button, who was
looking very earnestly in at a jeweller's shop window.
He watched him, and after a while he was joieed by the
prisoner Sarsfield, who, after speaking to him, walked
shout 30 yards away and stood looking on. The
prisoner Jeffcoat then cline up In an apparent hurry
and went into the shop, where he remained a minute or
so, and then came out and proceeded a short distance up
the street till he arrived at another jewellers' shop into
which he went, the other prisopers watching him all the
time. As soon as Jeffcoat came cut of the second shop
he walked as fast as be could up the street, into Crown
Court, followed by the others. Witness then called to
Cole and Joy, and with their assistance took them into
custody. On searching Sarsfield witness found two pairs
of boots, with the principal marks obliterated, in his
pockets. These, no doubt, formed part of the proceeds
of a robbery they had recently committed.
Cole, 317 A, proved receiving charge of the prisoner
Jeffcoat, and on searching him at the station found a
gold ring, and a lady's ornamental case containing a
silver thimble, tablets, and other articles in silver.
Joy, 338 A, searched Button, and found upon him 30
duplicates relating to watches, silver pencil cases, and
chains.
In defence, Sarsfield said he was hard up, and pur-
chased tho boots in the "lane" to sell again so as to
make a small profit.
Jeffcoat said he was in difficulties, and eo was Button,
of whom he bought the ring and case, to give him a lift.
Button said he really was in difficulties, and was a
jeweller by trade. The duplicates related to his own
property, which he bad been obliged to pledge to buy
bread.
Mr. Beadon said it was most likely they were in diffi-
culties, as they called it, and he should remand them
till Monday next.

SUICIDE AT THE LORD RAGLAN 110TEI,
ALDERSGATE-STREET.-INQUEST.

Yesterday Mr. William Payne, the city coroner,
held an inquest at St. Bartholomew's Hospital, on
the body of George T.J. Campbell.
Mr. George Pepler, landlord of the Lord Raglan
Hotel, near St. Martin's-le-Grand, said the deceased
came to his house on the 14th of November, and
ordered tea. He afterwards inquired if he could
have a bed there, and being answered in the
affirmative, he paid it, observing that he should
not require breakfast the following morning. He
smoked a cigar, and sat up till about 12 o'clock,
when he retired to his bedroom. At half-past one
o'clock the report of a pistol was heard in theroorn
followed by a noise as of some one falling heavily
on the floor. Witness went to the room door, and
inquired what was the matter, and the decease
answered, " All right, I shall be better presently.
He forced the door open, when be discovered the
deceased lying on his back on the floor, with his
hand on a wound in his left breast. The deceased
then said, "To think that I should have been such
a confounded fool as not to do it effectually. The
confounded trigger went so stiff, and that was the
cause of it." He (witness) sent for a doctor. Three
letters and a card on which was "G.
Campbell,
404, Euston-road, London," in pencil, were lying
on the table. He was removed to St. Bartholo-
mew's Hospital. Witness had several interviews
with him at the hospital, and he said that his
friends formerly lived in Sutherlandshire, but were
now in America. He said that Lord Ward used
to visit his father, and that nobleman upon being
written to sent him 51.
Mr. David Willett, of No. 404, Euston-road,
said the deceased lodged with him from the 19th
of June until the 14th of November, when he left
a note on the table, indicating that he should com-
mit suicide. A gentleman came to this country'
with the deceased, but he had gone
.back to Ame-
rica, and since his departure the deceased bad been
without money. He owed 191. odd. His father
was a clergyman.
Mr. Newton Lee, holism surgeon to St. Bartholo-
mew's Hospital, said the decased ' was brought in
on the 14th of November with a shot wound in his
left breast. He extracted the bullet, but he gra-
dually sunk, and died on Tuesday morning. Ho
died from inflammation of the pericardium pro-
duced by the bullet wound.
The jury returned a verdict of temporary in-
sanity.

LONDON, THURSDAY, DEC. 17, 1857.

What is popular sovereignty ? To simple minds
it would seem to be that the will of the great ma-
jority of the people of any country, legitimately
expressed by themselves or their representatives,
should bet:pole the law of the land, and that such
law should be subjected to revision at any time
that it became distasteful to the majority for the
time being -I
The ..
fraulasief.Constitutions in America seem,
',however, to „ak-
%Aim very extraordinary notions

According to their judgment an
irregaM49:4onatituted convention, merely acting
provisionally, can frame irrevocable laws, which,
like thole of the Medea and Persians, can never
be altered. These, too, are not to receive the
ratification which i; regarded as emential to give
validity to all preliminary constitutiow, namely,
that of a public vote of approbation by the great
1104 of the People. The pro-slavery party,
ever, were determined, per fas aut itefas, to ren-
der Kansas
a slave
state. We know the extraor-
dinary proceedings that took place, and by means
whereof a packed legislature was selected, whose
opinions were in total opposition t those of the
community at large. The bona fide voters were
prevented by violence from recording their suf-
frages—while gangs of armed ruffians from Mis-
souri occupied their places. It was a mere
:Dockery of an election ; but still it was permitted
to stand for the time being, and it is the parties

SPAIN.

The Madrid journals of the 12th make many
speculations as to whether the Government will or
will not dissolve the Cortes ; but the Hoja' a semi-
official authority, states that no dissolution will
take place, except in the event of the cabinet not
meeting with a fair measure of support. A disso-
lution in the opinion of that journal would enable
the Ministry to obtain a large majority. The
Queen, it was said, had definitively resolved on
opening the Cortes in person ; and, in conse-
quence, it was likely that the opening would take
place a few days later than originally intended.
M. Mayans, M. Pidal, and M. Martinez de la Rossi
sore spoken of for the presidency of the Cortes,
but the Government had not made its choice. Gen.
San Miguel had manifested a desire to retire from
the command of the Halberdiers, one of the highest
posts of the court, and Count de Lugena (O'Don-
nell) was named as likely to succeed him. Other
changes at court were also considered probable.
General San Miguel is stated to be writing a His-
tory of the Revolution of 1854. A convention be
tween France and Spain relative to the right of
fishing in the Bidassoa wag about to be signed.

MIDDLESEX SESSIONS—Dec. 16.

The December general sessions of the peace for
the county of Middlesex commenced this morning
at Clerlicuwell before Mr. Pashley, Q. C., Assistant-
Judge, and a full bench of magistrates. There were
51. prisoners for trial-45 for felony, and six for
misdemeanour.

After the grand jury had retired to their room,
Mr. Cooper, the senior member of the bar pre-
sent, congratulated the learned Assistant-Judge on
resuming his seat after his severe illness, and ex-
pressed a hope that he would soon be restored to
perfect health.
__ _

- James Lane, 32, pleaded "Guilty" to an indict-
ment, charging him with embezzling various sums
of money, received by him on account of Messrs.
Inde, Coope, and Co., his masters.
Mr. F. H. Lewis appeared for the prosecution,
and recommended the prisoner to mercy, on the
ground that he had been in the service of the pro-
secutors 12 years, during which time, had he been
so disposed, he could have appropriated sums of
money far larger than those he was now charged
with having embezzled.

Mr. Poland, for the prisoner, said it not be dis-
puted that the sums in question had been received,
and not accounted for. The prisoner had been
traveller to the prosecutors, who were brewers, and
his income was made up of 10s. per day for expen-
ses and a commission upon orders. Having to call
at many public-houses in the course of business he
had indulged in expenditure beyond his proper
means ; but the money he had not accounted for ho
certainly would have replaced had he not been
called upon in the sudden manner he was.
The Assistant-Judge said, he would consider
what the sentence ought to be.
George Jones, 32, pleaded " Guilty" of having
feloniously broken and entered the dwelling-house
of Thomas Ashley, and stolen a watch therein. He
was sentenced to nine months' hard labour.
Thomas Maynard, 13, pleaded " Guilty" of steal-
ing a horse, cart, and a quantity of sugar, the pro-
perty of Peter Bowen and another. Sentenced to
18 months' hard labour.

William Hurndall,2l, was convicted of stealing
a mare, value 61., the property of Joseph Stokes.
The Court sentenced him to 12 months' hard
labour.

John Roberts, alias Rawley, 62, was convicted of
stealing five silver spoons and other articles, the
property of E. 11. Bradley. Sentenced to 18
months' hard labour.

Mr. Creasy presided in the Second Court, and
disposed of soveral cases of simple larceny.

LONDON, THURSDAY, DEC. 17, 1857.

What is popular sovereignty ? To simple minds
it would seem to be that the will of the great ma-
jority of the people of any country, legitimately
expressed by themselves or their representatives,
should become the law of the land, and that such
law should be ,subjected to revision at any time
that it became, distasteful to the majority for the
time being. •
The framers of Constitutions in America seem,
however, to entertain very extraordinary notions
on the subject. According to their judgment an
irregularly d constitu e t • convention, merely acting
provisionally, can frame irrevocable laws, which,
like those of the Medea Persianssad can never
be altered. These, too, are not to receive the
ratification which ii regarded
as essential to give
validity to all prejimivary constitution,, namely,
that of a public voti of approbati,,,u by the great
body of the Peopl . The pre,-:slavery party, ohow-
ever, were detJrmiued, Per /I(v.e /3`tkottni:T.Z to Ten-

(Unary proceedings that took place, and by means
whereof a packed legislature was selected, whose
opinions were in total opposition t ) those of the
Community at large. The bona ji le voters were
prevented by violence from recording their suf-
frages—while gangs of armed ruffians from Mis-
souri occupied their places. It was a mere
thockery of an election ; but still it was permitted
to stand for the time being, and it is the parties
who were thus illegally returned, who attempted

IN RE BRITTEN.

This bankrupt carried on business on an extensive
scale as a fringe-merchant, in Noble-street, and had
applied to the Court under the Private Arrangement
Act, but the proposition was not satisfactory to the
creditors, and on the application of Mr. Dalton and Mr.
Pook (Coleman-street) the case was adjourned into open
court, and thus became a bankruptcy. The amount of
the debts and liabilities, or the amount of the assets, did
not transpire at this meeting.

THE PRINCIPALITIES.
A Vienna letter, in the Universal German
Gazette, says :—"There exist now three different
projects on the subject of the organisation of the
Principalities, one emanating from the Porte,
another from France, and the third from England
and Austria. The French project has met with
strong opposition on the part of the Porte, Austria,
and England relative to the election of the Hos-
podars, those powers not being willing to admit
universal suffrage in such a case. As to the other
two projects, it w:ll not be difficult to make them
agre4 ; and the more so aq, in drawing up the
Turkish one the advice of M. de Prokesch and Lord
Stratford de Redcliffe has been followed on many
points. The question on which the principal dif-
ference of opinion exists is !hat of the princely dig-
nity being hereditary. Austria and England are in
favour of its being so, as they consider that system
to contain the best conditions of stability. The
Porte is also disposed to render the dignity here-
ditary, but it makes its consent dependent on con-
ditions which Russia and Franca absolutely reject,
and which the other powe:s will not readily con-
sent t ~"

SARDINIA.
The following is the speech delivered Ly the
King of Sat dinia at the opening of the Chambers,
the pr;ncipal points of which wo published when
reedived by tclegraph
"Senators and Daputio ,--In again finding myself
among you, after the late elections, it is agreeable to ale
,i
to express my entire confidence that the new legislature
will fulfil its mission with a patriotism and prudence
equal to those displayed by that which preceded it.
"I have not the slightest doubt that I shall find among
you the same energetic and loyal co-operation that
al ways obtained from your predecessor.; for the applica-
tion and development of liberal principles, on which
reposes berctfumard in an immutable manner our na-
tional policy. (These words, pronounced with great
emphasis, were bailed with loud cheers.)
" Our intercourse with foreiga powers continues to be
