LATE AND IMPORTANT FROM Mrxrco.-The Con-
sort arrived at New Orleans the 10th instant from
Vera Cruz She brings the annexed news
On the 9th April, fire broke out in the Custom
House al Vera Cruz, which was consumed, with
more than 1000 packages Of valuable goods-also
other houses adjacent
IL appears that the French squadron had not
sailed, il was by the aid IF the French sailors
and engines that the fire at Vera Cruz finally
conquered.
General Mexia was on the 7th Of April, within Is
miles Of Vera Cruz at the head of from 1000 10 1900
men Ii was believed in Vera Cruz that the Mevi-
garrison would join him, and that the city would
soon be In his possession.
Another account says that the greatest constorna-
tion prevailed at Vera Cruz among the inhabitants
and erchants, who feared the town would be put
under contribution.
The damage is said to be over seven hundred
thousand dollars, which will principally fall on the
FrenchSa German houses.
The Consort brought SIl4,023 in specie 20 mer-
chants in New Orleans, and S120,0o0 for New York
merchants.

Mrs. Cows This celebrated lecturer is on her
way to Philadelphia where she lectures in the
of the ensuing week. 1t is our opinion that Mrs.
Cove will succeed better in Philadelphia than she
did in New York. The former place contains lar
ger proportion of female than this city, AID
they the qui rire for novelty, in the way
of knowledge; the Curiosity of the ladies' of Phila-
dephia is proverbial, and unbounded we should not
be surprised if they create in jefferson College per-
mansnt female Professorship of Anatomy and Physo-
logy, and elect Mrs. Cove to the station for life Phil
adslphia is also decidedly more immoral and licen-
tious than New York in reality although to outward
appearance, every thing seems pure and pious.
The state Of society in Philadelphia is much more
corrupt and loose regards domestic morality than
New York, and therefore there is very little doubt
that Mrs. Cove will be most Literally patronised in
the city Of Penn.

Responds the call Of day.
