" NEW YORK CONVENTION.

• -
" The Convention, convened at Utica, New York, the
21st inst. have concluded their sitting, having nominated
De Witt, Clinton for Governor, and Henry Huntington, of
Oneida County, for Lieutenant-Governor.
" Admiral Sir Isaac Coffin visited last week the Island
of Nantucket, ' the land of his progenitors.' He visited
the principal places of resort on the Island, says the
Inquirer, discarding the rules of Court etiquette, and
mingling freely with the Republican populace. He de-
parted on Thursday in a packet for Philadelphia."

FROM MEXICO.

We have been favoured with a letter received in this
t_7i_ty, from u, gentleman in Vora Cruz; dated August. 24.
IWe learn from the letter, that at Vera Cruz it is thought
probable that an attempt will be made to release Cuba and
Porto Rico from the Government of Spain, " by the esta-
blishment of a government founded on liberal principles,
and guaranteed by Colombia, Mexico, and the other free
Spanish American States. Security in the slave property
will be the first consideration." Commodore Porter has
entered upon the full discharge of his official duties as
Commander-in-Chief of the Department and Squadron.
" A philanthropist in Vera Cruz has set on foot a sub-
scription to purchase the time of the slaves in that pro-
vince. lle has contributed 200 dollars for that purpose,
anti the editors of the Star, in addition to a zealous exhor-
tation, give 25 dollars.

Brussels Papers of the 25th inst. have been re-
ceived this morning, but they contain little that we
have not had through previous channels. At a sitting
of the Second Chamber of the States General, the
Project of a Law for the organisation of the Com-
mercial Guards throughout the Kingdom, was sub-
mitted to consideration :

nßussims, OCT. 23.

A fatal affair has lately taken place at Luxemburg.
Three Three young men travelling for commercial
Brussels related at a table d'hote that some Prussan officers
houses at
i
had the evening before had a quarrel with each other and
Came to blows. The latter, having heard of this, chal-
lenged the young men, and they agreed to fight at a place
over the frontiers. The latter, however, when on their way
were stopped by the police and put back to the inn, when they
immediately wrote to the otlicerst stating the fact. Great
agitation having been occasioned in . the city, the Police
was very vigilant to prevent a rencontre, especially
as two
PrUssian Oifiters• Liauts. Poppe and Lobenthal, were seen
hovering about the inn, and endeavoured to get in, not-
withstanding the opposition of the servants and the land-
lord. Lieut. Lobenthal; howeVer, seeing the door opened,
entered, and desired to speak to one of the travellers ; be-

big told it was impossible, as they were under the care of
the Police, he gave his word that he did not mean to com-
mit any act of violence towards them. On which, M.
Rievette, Officer of the Marechaussee, went and told them
that Lieut. Lobenthal desired to speak to that'll. They all three
came down. M.Rievette went into the room where the offi-
cers were; M. Veyset, one of. the travellers, followed,
and going up to M. Lobenthal, saluted him, taking off his
hat, on which the Lieutenant drew a pistol from under
his cloak, and discharged it point-blank at N. Ws breast►
who fell mortally wounded. The assassin took out
other pistol, and threatened to shoot any one who RP-
proached him; and while the police officer was keeping
back the other two travellers, Lobenthal escaped and has
not since been taken. The young traveller died on the
21st. Lieut. Poppe is arrested. A strict investigation
is making into the whole of this deplorable transaction.
