MEXICAN NEWS.
From the Picayune, I'd inst
TWELVE DAYSLArER FROM MEXICO

The Mexican schooner Joaquin, Cap,
'Gormez arrived at this port yesterday
from Tampico, whence she sailed on the
22d u!l. She brought US neither letters
nor papers, but a good quantity OF ru.
mors. Our evening contemporary, the
Courier, was so fortunate as TO receive a
copy Of the "Diaro del Gobiero" Of the
18th of August, which is just twelve days
later than any paper from the capital
hitherto received.
From the sou trees indicated above we
learn that President Herrera has been re.
luctantly compelled to accept the resign
alton of his late Ministers, viz. l.. G. Cae
vas, State Department; Mariana Rva
Palacio, Justice; Luis de la Rosa, Treas.
ury and Garcia Condo, War Department.
This intelligence the President communi-
called TO the Chambers on the 18th Au-
gust, with expressions Of the highest re-
gard for the talents, integrity and patriot,
Ism Of the late Ministry. No definite
cause for the resignation and its reluctant
acceptance is assigned, unless it be an al
fusion to"exsting difficulties" In the
meantime, till he can organize an entire
y new Ministry, he has appointed pro-
visonal one, consisting Of Jose Maria
Daran and Juan Luis Velasquez de Leon
Tor the port folios Of Justice and War,
while the duties of both the State and
Treasury departments devolye upon Jose
Maria Monasterio. Through the latter
(unetionary the President communicated
tho change Of Ministry to Congress. The
same day tina, the announcement of the
change was made, the official contained
a communication from ST. Monaslerio,
thanking The ex.Mnisters in the name
of the President for The able manner in
which they had discharged the duties of
their several departments.
1t is believed that a permanent Minis
try will not be formed until the result of
the Presidential election is known. OnI

Repeal ASSOCIATIONS.

1t Is well known 10 our readers, we pre-

organized in most of our large cities for the
purpose of aiding, SO far as consistent with
the comfy of nations, the oppressed peo-
pie of Ireland in their endeavors to obtain
a redress of their grievances at the hands
of the British government. These socie-
ties were chiefly composed of emigrants
and the descendants of emigrants from the

WILMINGTON.

We clip the following paragraph from
the NerberniGn of the 9th uli.. and thank
our nelghbor for the flat,ering notice he
takes of our town. We have never had
the pleasure Of visiting New Berne, and,
therefore. cannot 'speak by the book oil
its people, or its appearance as town.
We have, however. heard. time immeino-
rial, that the citizens of New Berne are
famed for their refined Inequalities. 1t
has been our forinhe to be acquainted with
several of them, and were we TO adopt the
language of Eneas, alb uno disco onanes.'
we should say that a cleyerer SET of folks
could not be found in the U. States than the
people of New Berne. We never think
of New Berne without associa,ing with its
name the home of WILLIAM CASTOR !!
The bright halo which the virtues, the tall
enls, and the attainments of,his great man
left behind him still hover around it, and
will ever secure for its name Mich in the
hallowed corners of every North Carroll
MANS heart.
The NeaOberni0n wonders why our
merchants don't own shipping. The rea-
son, as far as we can ascertain, is simply
this, that they find it more advantageous TO
charter New England shippers than to sail
their own vessels. One of our most ex-
perienced merchants told us that expe-
perience had taught himself, as well as
others, that this was the best course they
could pursue. We feel convinced tina! it
is neither from a want of enterprise nor a
due tiscernment OF their own interests, that
no sea vessels are owned in the port of
Wilmington. For, in these two particu-
lars. the business men Of Wilmington will
compare with those of any town il the
South.
gton.-Perhaps one of our most
growing and prosperous towns in the State. at
this time, is our neighboring sister, Whining
| ton. From various sources, we learn OF its
steady advancement in business prospects.
She has hastily risen up from the effects of the
dreadful havoc which The fire of lS43 made up
on her, and now she is taking her stand a
mong the most prosperous OF Southern towns.
The value of town property has been greatly
enhanced, and instead of erecting temporary
wooden buildings, her citizens are acting wise
ly in erecting substantial brick tenements.pro
against fire. Her Steam Saw Mills and Tur.
pentne Distiieries are on the increase, which
contribute largely to the business of the place,
and every species Of trade is in the ascendant.
This, perhap is mainly owing TO her Railroad
but much is owing to the indeftigabIe public
spirit and energy Of her citizens. One Thing,
however. has struck us as remarkable and ralh
er bad policy, that there are not more than two
or three sea vessels owned in the port. Hav-
ing erected her Rail Road mainly herself, she
ought certainly to supply the means to ship
her exports"

The Presbyterian Church and
Slavery

We have noticed in former numbers Of
The Journal the unhappy division which
the abolition question has produced in two
of our christian churches. 1t is with plea
sure that we this week have it in our pow
err to record the liberal, patriotic, and we
think, christian-llke course which the Ge-
neral Assembly Of the Presbyterian church,
recently convened at Cincinnati, has pur-
sued in relation to this delicate question.
The slavery question was referred to a
committee which. after due consideration,
made report to the effect that the church
had nothing to do with the institution of
slavery, farther than to enlighten the mas
ter and servant on the duties of their res.
pective relations. The report winds up
with the following resolutions which were
unanimously adopted:
Resofved, First, That the General Assembly
of the Presbyterian Chulch in the United
States was originally organized, and has since
continued the bond of union in the Church
upon the principle that the existence Of do
mestic slavery under the circumstances in
which it is found in the Southern portion of
the country. is no bar to Christian commun-
ion.
Second, That the petitions that ask the AS
semby to make the holding of slaves in itself
a matter of discipline, do virtually require
that judicatory to dissolve itself and abandon
the organization, under which, by the Divine
blessing, it has long prospered. The tenden.
cy is evidently to separate the Northern from
the Southern portion of the Church a result
which every good citizen must deplore as ten
ding to the dissolution of the union of oul
blessed country, and which every enlightened
Christian will oppose as bringing about III
inous and unnecessary schism between breth
rem who maintain common faith.
The marriage question had not been de
cided at the last dates.

Gen. JacksOn's Health.

The last accounts from the Hermitage
represent the health Of this great man as
being extremely bad. Such, indeed, that
the most sanguine cannot promise them
selves that he will be spared to his coun-
try many more weeks. Dropsy has seiz-
ed upon the limbs of the old hero, which
must ere long end his mortal career! How
gratifying to Gen. Jackson must the tho,
be that he will leave the stage of action, il
leave he must. when those principles which
he cherished SO dearly, and which he bat.
tied for SO long, are SO gloriously in the
ascendant.

second Greaa Race,
Disastrous Accident.

The second great contest Tor the suPre-
macy of the American turf came OH over
the Camden course, in New Jersey, (the
native Stale of Fashion.) on Wednesday,,
the 26lh ult., between Fashion and Peyto-
ma. The u. S. Gazette says that the con-
course of people was tremendous. and that
the excitement amongst the hackers of the
respective nsgs was as lively as at the Long
Island course some days before. Fashion
is once more the heroine of her race; and
Peytona, the champion of the South, has
been shorn of her lauIels. The race was
four mile heats. and for purse of 81 ,OOO,
Fashion won it the two first heats. exact
ly reversing the fate of the Long Island
contest. 1t is said that Peytona was push
ed to her very best, and that Fashion was
held hard aH'the time. This is somewhat
singular, as the time was not so gaod, by
considerable, as that in which Peytona won
the great match race. Time, 7:4S & 1857.
We understand, says the Gazette, that
another race was Immediately propos-
ed for $4,000 side, to be run over the
Canton Course near Baltimore. This will
be what is called the rubber, and We sup
pose will finally decide the matter between
the two nags.
A very serious accident occurred on the
Camden Course just before the horses star
ted. A large stand, occupied by an immense
crowd of spectators, tumbled down, precip-
ilating to the earth It's burden Of human
beings. At the time the stand gave way,
it is supposed that there were at least one
thousand persons underneath, engaged in
drinking. gambling. &c. 1t is, therefore
almost miraculous that large number ere
not instantly killed. Although great
many were injured more or less seriously
not one, according to the most authentic
accounts. was even AtaIly wounded.
