LATE FROM MxxIco.-Our advices from Vera
Cruz, to the 18th ut. by an arrival at New Or

Nearly the whole of the Mexican fleet were yet

period when they were to sail
Santa Anna, since his arrival at his plantation,
paid visit to Vera Cruz, where he was received
with demonstrations of affection and rejoicing.
The Diario of the 9th inst. publishes decree
dated the 9th October, accepting the plan tor the
colonization of Tamaullpas, made by Belgian sub

he undertakes to introduce into the department., In

The difficulty with the British minister remained
in statm quo. The feet reported to have been seen

The papers are engaged IN warm discussion re-
speeding the law prohibiting foreigners from carry

Santa Anna has adopted of ordering foreigners
from the interior.
Senior Don Ignacio Alas, Minister of the General
Treasury, died on the 10th inst.
Gel Siglo XIX" of the 10th instant contains an
account OF an outbreak revolution In Sonora, one
of the Departments of Mexico, the cause of which,
or for what object 1t is undertak KEN is not stated
Several arrestshad been made, and among Others
a Mr.. Lafargue was apprehended for using language
derogatory to the national honor, in speech which
he delivered on the occasion OF national festival
New MOVEMENT IN STEAM NAvIGATIoN.-It il
stated that firm in Boston intend building, before
spring, six steamers, to be propelled by the Erics-
son screw, for the Albany trade. They are to be
constructed Of iron, and of three hundred tons ca
pacity, and are to run between Troy, Albany and
Boston. They will make the passage, it is thought
in about forty hours. Flour is to be carried in
them at fifteen cents a barrel, to the injury per-
chance Of the Western Railroad.
1t is also stated that small steamer arrived al
Baltimore last Friday, from Hartford, via New
York, and through the Chesapeake and Delaware
canal. She has the submerged wheel, and runs on
a river, or the ocean, or through canal with equal
facility. She is intended to navigate the Neuse
river, as high up as Wayne, quite a town in North
Carolina.
These small steamers, with their screws, are work
ing a great revolution in steam navigation on ,he
coast and on our rivers and canals. There are al
ready forty fifty vessels of this description in use
in Canada and in the United States; and by May
next, there will be great addition to this number
Our waters will, therefore, soon be crowded with
curious looking, short masted vessels propelled by
no visible means.
CRY DESPATCH FREE SrAMPs.-We consider the
facilities to the public very much increased since
the introduction of Stree Stamps" and we are
glad to understand that the Postmaster has directed
that the carriers of the City Despatch Post shall
receive the same in lieu of postage. This reduces
the rate on city letters two and half cents to all
who keep supply of the "Free Stamps"
AS in some instances the public has misunderstood
this arrangement, and attached these stamps to
mail letters, we deem it right to advise them tina,
they are only taken in payment of city letters.
WINTER AMUsKMENrs--S LEIeHrNe-If the snow
which fell yesterday, has not melted before this
il is very probable that sufficient quantity

Boomingdale and Harlem. If so, in these brigh,
moonlight nights, we may expect as great excite

been recently in the musical circles. For few
nights if the weather be suitable, there will be
general emptying of the theatres. Every body
will be going out a-sleighing and the clear moon
