MEXICO.

The news from Mexico is of very
contradictory character. AT one time we
hear of the Federalists being triumphant;
at another, that the Centralists are all
powerful. For the last few days we
have had accounts of the growing strength
and improving fortunes of the Federalists.
To-day we lay before our readers an ex-
tract from letter of late date to a mer-
chant of New Orleans, which gives a
very different aspect to Mexican affairs.
The writer, it will be seen is in favor of
the Centralists, the existing Govern
ment. His statements may nevertheless,
be CORRECTLY, o. Bee.
MATAMORAs, Jan. Is.
On the 9Th inst. we received the pleas
ant intelligence that General Arsta had
defeated the Federal forces near Santinos;
and by an express, who arrived here
yesterday, we are informed that Canales,
with a small force, had crossed the Rio
Grande at Mier, and that the greater
part of the Federalist had retired to their
homes.
January 19.-The civil discussions in
this section of the country are agreeably,
to all appearances, terminated for the
present the country folks are bringing in
their produce, and our market is assum--
ing liveler appearance our communica-
ton with Monterey is again opened, and
every thing denotes the return of tram
guilty.
An express arrived this morning from
General Arista, bringing the intelligence
that the commander of the Texans, under
Canales, has been made prisoner, and
has been taken to Monterey, where he
will no doubt be shot.

BUILDING STEAM FRIGArEs AND PAckEr SHIrs.
The keel OF the Russian steam frigatc has beea
laid, and Mr.. William II. Brown, her builder, is
now engaged in getting out her frame. She is to be
built in his yard at the Dry Dock under the super
attendance Of three Russian naval officers. She
is to be built entirely Of white oak and from the
manner IN which she is progressing, il is surmised
among our ship builders, that il is somewhat Of an
experiment making by Nicholas Of Russia, to ac-
quire knowledge Of American ship building
We notice also that the keel Of large ship, TO DO
upwards Of nine hundred tons burthen, has been
laid by Messrs Bergh & Co II is fully as long
as the keel Of the splendid packet ship stephen
Whitney, and will undoubtedly be as fine vessel.
although perhaps not finished of so richly.
In addition we understand that the steamer Of war
now building at the Brooklyu Navy Yard, under
the supcrintendance Of Mr. HART, will soon be COM
pleted. She is nearly all planked, and two months
will see her finished. She might however, be COM
pleted in one month.
There is now, comparatively, some activity at the
Navy Yard, Brooklyn, and at two or three ship
yards, up town.

THE CRoroN ISsURREcTIoS.-The Instruction
and insubordination continues along the whole line
of the Croton Aqueduct. 1t exists in its principal
intensity between Yonkers and Manhattanville, TO
the distance Of several miles. On that section the
largest portion of the workmen are engaged. The
combination, which is styled the 'United Irish
men," will not allow any man to work throughout
that section. Two days ago, party of several hum
dred stepped a shantee near Kingsbridge and read
what they called a - Proclamation" to the Irish
men there. This Prokamashion" warns all the
United Irishmen to lave off werk at six shil-
lings day, and not to work for less than eight
shillngs." Ii also threatens TO punish any IRISH
man who may be found disobeying this order,
and advises every to stand out for their rights
and eight shillings On several occasions the con-
tractors have tried to get the authorities in this
ty or in Westcheter TO arrest the rngleaders, who
interrupt the peaceable men who want TO work. But
they invariably refuse, or back out. Police Oh
Ger at Kingsbridge called upon the posse to assist
him to arrest OF them, and only person came

THE Police INvEsrIeArIoN.-A good deal OF
public attention is beginning to be drawn towards
the trial of Justice Merritt going on before the
Court Of Common Pleas, a trial which may also be
considered an investigation ofthe police system here
tofore carried in this city, for many years past.
Up to yesterday, the proceedings were merely pre-
liminary but from to-day we may date the develop
ment of the facts and the examination of the wit
nesses
From the strong array of counsel on the part oil
Merritt and the pertenacity, nay obstinacy, with
which they throw technical obstacles before the IN
vestgation, strong desire begins to be generated
for full, clear, and unblushing insight into the
whole practice of the Police Office, for the last few
years Without reference to the particular merits,
or dement's, of Merritt we do say that the Pubhc
demand distinctly of the District Attorney, full
and complete development of the practices OF that
Office which of late years, has been covered with
corruption, immortality, injustice, nfamy, vllainy,
and every species of wrong, much as the land OF
Egypt was once covered in the days of Moses, with
clouds of locusts without the wild honey. 1t is be-
lieved, and we want to it proved or disproved,
that for the last ten years, the Police system has
been only system of public robbery and injustice.
Men connected with this department have become
rich, without any visible of acquiring wealth
1t has been Csc alleged that secret combination has
existed between eques of thieves and burglars, and
cliques fthe Police ofice-bound together by GER
tain conditions, the principal one OF which was to
plumber the community, and to share the spolls 1t
has been alleged that crimes have originated in the
very Police Office to be perpetrated by their con-
federates of doors, out Of prison. that large
rewards might be offered by the losers, and procu-
red BY the very persons who set foot these rob-
berries
We want to know if these allegations are fact or
ancy-and it is the duty of the District Attorney to
drag the dark deeds of the Police office, If they eX-
ist into broad day light, at the sacrifice OF every
man, or any party

HEADACHE,

nR. Il. SPUHN, German physician
IL ofnnch note, having devoted his at
ten,on for some years to the cure and re-
nioval OF the causes of the NERVOUS
AND SICK HEADACHE, has the satis-
faction to make known, that lie has reme-
dy which BY removing the causes cures et-
tectually and permanently this distressing
complaint. There are many families who
have considered Sick Headache a consti-
tutional incurable family complaint. DR..
s. assures them that they are mistaken, and
laboring under distress which they might
not only alleviate, but eradicate by the use
Of his remedy.
1t is the result of scientific research, and
is entirely ofa different character from ad-
vertised patent medicines, and is not un-
pleasant TO the taste.
HEADACHE, SICK OR NERVOUS.
The extraordinary reputation that DR..
Spohn's remedy for this distinguished COM
plant is every day gaining, is certainly
matter of much astonishhent. That so
much suffering should have existed for ages
without any discovery OF an actual preven-
tive or cure, is truly subject of much re-
gret, but DR.. 8. now assures the public
that such remedy has been invented as
will convince the most incredulous. The
principles upon which it acts are simple and
PLAN. 1t is an admitted fact that this CONF
plaint, whe ther called sick headache, or ner-
vous headache, arises primarily from the
stomach--those who tbink they have the
Nervous Headache may rest assured that
this organ, the stomach, is the FIRST cause
