LATER FROM NEW ORLEANS.

We received this morning by Express in
telligence from New Orleans in advance of
the regular mail and we are indebted to
New Orleans papers for slips containing ad.
dilional items Of Mexican news. The steam
er Tay via Havana. has brought advices
from Vera Cruz 10 the 3lst alt. 1t seems
probable that Santa Anna did make the at.
tack upon Puebla on the night of Jan. 9th,
in which he was repuIsed with heavy loss, in.
GLIDING the death of Gonzalez Arevalo, one
of his officers. The defeated General at
the lates, dates was a prisoner at Pero,e,
where his young wife, and his old friend Sig.
nor Lazaro Villamil, with a devotion which
puts the hollow attachments of political friends
to shame, were his companions.
Haro, Santa Annals former Minister of
Finance, escaped and arrived in the Tay at
New Orleans. Reion was also still at large.
1t was said that General Herrera exhibits
feelings Of clemency towards his fallen rival,
while the Grand Jury appointed to try him
are extremely bitter against him. 1t is
thought that his ''f' ~ not be taken. He
had renewed hisrequest for a passport, prom
ising to leave the country forever, to appoin.
an agent to respond to charges against him
and to leave his property as IA security that
all should be satisfied. Upon this request
the Court had not decided. In Mexico ev-
cry thing was quiet. 1t was reported that
the Republic was to be divided into three
military departments, Arista to have com.
mand of Northern, Parades of the Centre,
and some other general Of the Southern Sec
ton.
The Picayune says there was a rumor
current in Mexico early in the month of IAN
nary that an American frigate had lombard
ed Monterey.
The same paper has letters from Santa
Fee, making it probable that the expeditions
of Connolly and Speyer would prove disas-
trous. S. c. Ovens company arrived on
the 10Th Of October. Indian hostililies still
disturb new Mexico.-N. Y. Cou. g. Enq.

: The Madisonlan publishes a paragraph in
relation to the nomination of Mr.. William II.
Polk TO the Ncapoliian mission, which u is GER
tainly a little singular, but which is all proper
we suppose. The Madisonian says i, is au-
ihorised by MIR. Polk to say that he " both
desired and sought the Office" This is ex-
pllcit and above board, and the Senate now
understand that the nominee would be obi
ged to its members, il they would confirm
his appointment, as soon as they can make it
convenient.

NJ The Hon. RUFUS CHoATE. ".

C. The Hon. RUFUS CHoATE, U. S.
Senator from Massachusetts, in a very beau
tiful speech on the Smithsonian institute,
quoted a letter he had received from Profess
sor ToRREy, of the University of Vermont,
as authority for the position he had assumed
in his argument.
Prof. ToRREY is reputed to be one Of the
most gifted %linguists in New England, and to
be well versed in the various departments of
bellies lettres and the fine arts. To be quo
ted by Mr.. CHoATE in the Senate Chamber,
is no slight testimonial of respect entertained
abroad for a gentleman who has contributed
much towards rendering the University of
Vernon. one of the best institutions in the
country.
Prof. Torrey, it will be remembered, is
the Editor of the Life and Literary Remains
of the late DR.. JAMES Marsha book which
ought to be read by every person who de-
lights in reading works wherein lofty thoughts
are couched in most simple yet beautiful
language.-St. Adams Messenger.

The FIRST ROYAL TcErorALLER.--
About twenty years ago, the King of the
Sandwich Islands, perceiving that intempe-
rance was becoming general among his sub
@jects, called his chiefs together, and after IA
speech on the evils of inloxicaiion, proposed
that they should unite with him in a pledge
to drink in future only water, and thus Sc,
an example to the peopIe--a pledge which,
says a gentleman recently from the Islands,
has been sacredly observed.

APPROPRIATE WELCoME.-On the day of
James X. Folks arrival at Washington, the
American Flag was displayed in his honor,
from the Liberty Pole erected IN front of the
Sidre-Pen, in the city of Washlngton.-
Whatever may be thought or said toucbing
the other incidents Of Mr.. Folks reception
at Washington, there can be no difference Of
opinion as to the fitness of this cerenIony.-
What more natural than that those engaged
in the purchase and sale of human flesh and
blood should exult at the approaching inaug-
uration of a President whose administration
is 10 be conducted upon the one idea" of
extending the limits and perpetua,ing the ex-
istence Of Human Siavery2 Well, then,

" enlarging the area of freedom will open
new markets, and create additional demand
for the human merchandise in which they
traffic.

Mr.. EnIToR,-The late Examination at the Female
Seminary m this village was OF too Interesting a char
acter to be passed by unnoticed. | therefore solicit a
place for the following in your paper.
Those who attended the exercises of the several
olnsses cannot but be satisfied that the most dilieent
Efforts have been put forth on the part of the teach
ers, for the improvement of their pupils. Without
pariicularzlng each individual subject or class, the
summation discovered on the par, OF the pupils a
thorough discipline, than which there is nothing more
essential IN laying The foundation of a finished educa-
ton. This, considering the short time they have en-.
Joyed the advantages of the institution, tspeaks much
N praise of those who have its present supervision.
l noticed but one fault in the examination, and this
was so general and so marked that ! will mention il.
! dhudc TO indiStinctness Of utterance. The young
ladies speak too iolr. This, although il deiracted from
the interest NJ the examination, is not unpardonable
IN young ladies', under those clrcumstances-and was
compensated for IN part BY the promptness and accu-
lacy with which they fulfilled their allotted duties
The demednor OF the pupils. also, both on the exam
nation SEATS and elsewhere, was highly rommenda.
BILE, and gained both for themselves and their teach
es much credit i think those who attended the ex-
erclses viii not be increGuious as To the ability and
PUBLICATIONS Of the present supervisor TO manage
such an institution, and are ready 10 extend TO il that
patronage which II so Justly merits. I"whnt we see
with our own eyes, and hear with our own ears" ia
sultlclent testimony, there can be no hesitation in saw
ing hat the present advantages of this institution are
not surpassed by any of a similar kind in The State

How TO Die AN EASY DEATH.-A great
many essays, says the Portland Tribune, have
oeeh written on the easiest mode Of bringing to
an END this animal life of ours. One is in favor
OF hanging, another of drowning, and another
In'nks a bullet through the heart will produce
the least suflering.-But we have an easier road
TO death than either. Although the object may
not be so soon accomplished, still it is effectual,
Tor thousands have tried it. We will give you
the receipt take several strong cords, faslen
them around the waist as tight as you can bear
it, and let them remain a day or two.-Gradu-
ally tighten the cords, pcrsevere until your body
has the appearance of an hour glass. Your
health will gradually decline you will feel faint
and languid, cannot endure work, and will pro.
badly have The dyspepsia, liver complaint, and
be exceedingly Haublcd with nervousness. No
matter; the work of death will be gradually
going on before many months consumption will
be seated, and you will die so easy a death, that
your parting breath will be hardly perceptable.
II, however, you wish to commit suicide in a
short time, wear thin shoes and muslin dresses
in cold damp weather. We have never known
this dicipline L. fail, and it has been tried in a
thousand instances.
