To the Editor on Union:
En- passani, may remark, that when Mexico fires
the first gun, she loses California This piece OF IN
formation picked up about st. Louis. Enough
said
We have fresh advices from various parts Of the
world: From England, per Caledonia; from Brazil
by arrival al Boston; from Carthagena, by
schooner Julia, Captain Telfar; and day, or two
since from ST. Domingo, by an arrival at this port
In no part Of the world do the inhabitants Thereof
appear 10 be getting on as well as IN the United
States.
In Brazil things are in bad state. BY an inter
vention compact, it is expected all the ports WIZ u
France, and Brazil. The first has 1873 guns; ihs
second, 222; and the last named party lag, on The
coast, ready to enforce blockade. American com
merce in the mean time, suffers Letters from thence
recommend the suspension OF further shipments o.
-four, &c.
In Carthagena, a convention has been agreed up
on, dated June 18th, between General Flores, ats
President of the republic Of Ecuador and the usurp
ing government. II provides general amnesty
General Flores had arrived at Carthagena on hi
way to Europe. The condition Of every part o.
South America puts one in mind Of partial cloudy
day, when the sun penetrates dark clouds only IL
spots, and at distant intervals. A civil war ant
usurpation one day, and brief peace the next
Things will never come right till Anglo-Saxon blood
rules the soil.
From England, we hear cotton and American pro
visions have slightly advanced and that the Queer
and Albert had gone TO the continent, leaving Mr.
McLane leisure TO amuse himself about London Ill
her return, before his busness can be taken up con
atn0re.
The weather had become fine. Stocks of grair
were found larger than was expected. The las
news gave such an unfavorable account Of III,
weather, prospects, of the harvest, &c, that ira
dcrs and spectators flew into the market, here

will no doubt have their fingers scorched IN canno
be helped; better luck neri time" us Peter Simple
would say.
The Marmora propeller steamer cleared for Liver
pool, the other day, with fair lot of passengers
The Massachusetts, another craft Of the sam
description, is now in our waters, getting ready L
cross the Atlantic.
There are many practical men who seriously
doubt the success of the propeller mode of propul
sion. An old and experienced sea captain told mi
the time would come, when, after some gales in tn,
Atlantic, they would never be heard of again
l"What is your objection, captain" why, yo'
see," said he "it is necessary for the screw in tn
mersed in water. This cannot be the case in
rough sea. Besides, the whole driving power bein!
at the stern, she cannot be kept with her head to tn
wind in gale. The vessel will, from the action o
the screw, keel her side bow TO the Storm
"But, captain, she will carry sails; by their aid

lay-to better; but their action in this respect wou'
be weakened if not destroyed, by the action of tn
screw in the stern With paddle wheels at tn
sides, this would not be the case"
"Then, captain, are steam propellers Of no use'"
eyes, they certainly are, on rivers, and som
lakes and sounds, but nowhere else"
| The recent census of Brooklyn has made know
to the world that this suburban village contains
population of So, 900 souls. All they want to max
it fit residence for man or beast, is a supply O
Croton water.
Two men were killed yesterday, while engage
in pulling down brick shanty adjoining Tam
many Hall, senior--the one undergoing denolitio
being called Tammany Hall, junior.
| The burnt district still wears gloomy and desc
late aspect though active operations n progress
engaged either in removing rubbish, or in erectin
new buildings.
The stock-market, which was very much de
pressed a week or two since, has again rallied 1
some extent. Sales to-day were to a fair amount
with some improvement in those Of solid value
