FRoM MExIco-ARRiyAL OF Ma. SHANNON.
Shannon late United States minister to Mexico,
arrived at New York on Saturday, in vessel fom
Vera Cruz, after passage Of twenty-four days.
Mr.. Shannon has taken lodgings the United States
hotel He represents that the drafts on the Mexi-
treasury received by the American agent for the
two instalments due had not been paid for the want
Of funds. Our fellow citizen, James N. Joralemon,
also came passenger in the same vessel. He was
robbed on his way from Mexico to Vera Cruz, with
nine other coach passengers, who, together, lost
some fifteen hundred dollars. Mr.. Joralemon's loss
in money and clothing did not exceed 800. The
country continued in the most unsettled state; and
war is confidently anticipated, the annexation Of
Texas is completed
Murders and robberies are constantly occurring,
and the most public roads, and in the most public
places.
The joint committees Of Congress on the affairs of
Texas, as we learn from the New York Express,
came to the following conclusion: That Mexico is
at liberty to authorize its government to enter into
pacific negotiation with Texas, which may arrange
their differences, lead to treaty convenient and
honorable the republic, subject the approval of
Congress. So the members Of the committee regard
it, almost with unanmity, not doubling that the in
tatory steps taken by the government, are conform
ed to the soundest policy"
1t appears that Tamplco in such a state Of
alarm on the 10th Of May, that public meeting
was held to aay the agitation Of the people.

The course Of appointments made by the Pres
ident of the United States, including those more
subordinate, emanating from the various depart
ments, would seem to indicate that, as a general,
although not universal rule, preference is given,
when the claims of applicants equal, to those
who have remained at home, and who have not re-
sorted to personal opportunities. Indeed, if the
President and the heads of departments must see
and converse personally with all who are applicants
for Office, it would consume so much Of their time,
as render impossible for them to attend to their
public duties. DESTROYS as all who are here must
be to see and converse with their friends who have
aided in achieving the late political victory, yet the
performance Of public duties must not be neglected,
for the agreeable purpose Of personal con-
ferences with our democratic brethren. We feel it
due to truth and candor to make these remarks and
to suggest that written applications for Office, un.
connected with personal opportunities, are most
likely insure TO the most deserving leav
ing, as such a course must do, more time to the
President and heads Of departments to read with
care and deberation all the conflicting recommend
atoms.

In the United States district court sitting At Ball
timore, on Monday last, Judge Heath passed sem
tence upon Jason L. Pendeton, captain, and Robert
Baker, first mate, of the brig Montevideo, who were
indicted, tried, and convicted of misdemeanor, az
officers Of said brig, in being concerned in the slave
trade on the Of Africa. The learned judge on
passing upon the prisoners preaced il with
address Of great feeling, nwhch herevieweda all tho
evidence given upon the trial. and depicting in vivid
colors the horrors of the slave rade He stated that
the extent of punishment allowed by the law was
two years imprisonment in the common jail, and a
fine Of $4,000; but in consideration Of his having
been already in Jail six months, and the jurys rec
ommendation to mercy, the court would only adj
Judge him to be confined in the common jail for a
period oftwelve months, and 10 pay fine Of III 900,
paid. The mate, Baker, was sentenced to be i'm
prisoned six months, and to pay fine Of $500, and
to remain imprisoned until the fine and costs be

IOWA.

II must be recollected that when the convention OF
Iowa framed their State constitution, it was not sub
mi,ted to the people for their approval, but it was
transmitted to Congress, who agreed to it, on the
condition Of regulating the boundary of the State
upon new basis This constitution, with the con-
ditonal sanction of Congress- shearing Iowa of large
portion of her territory, submitted to the people
during the present year, and rejected by majority
short of 1000. The territorial legislature Of Iowa,
now in session. has bill before them "to submit to
the people the draught ola constitution adopted by the
late convention" which has given rise to consdera-
BILE debate, and passed the House of Representa-
tives on the I'd instant by vote Of l6 to Sa strict
party vote--a the democrats voting for it, all the
wings against it,
The ''Iowa Capitol Reporter" of the 7th instant,
''stops the press that the governor has
vetoed the bill submitting the draught ola constitution
to the people at the ensuing August election. The
Council Immediately took up the bill, and passed II
by vote of Ii to 2. In the House its consldera-
ton is postponed until IL o'clock when as there
Is democratic to wing members present, We shall
expect it to become law"
Should it pass, the constitution will be submit
ted to the people, who will probably ratify it and
then the question comes up-Will Congress adhere
to the boundaries which they have specified in
their act; or viii they recede, and acquesce in the
wishes of the people Of Iowa. II the latter, the
constitution will 60 into effect if not, then it will
become question with the people, whether they
will take the constitution according to the limits
stipulated by Congress, or r ject it,

NEW PUBLICATIONS

We have to express our thanks to Messrs. Har-
per and Brothers, Of New York, for the following
new works which they have sent us through the
hands Of Mr.. Franck Taylor, bookseller, viz: No.
80 Of "Harpers' Illuminated and new Pictorial BIZ
ble;" Nos. SIS and Sc of "Harpers' Illuminated and
Illustrated Shakespeare" and the fifth number of the
"Encyclopedia of Domestic Economy" all Of which
came to full of interesting matter and beautiful
plates usual.
We also have to express our Acknowledgements
to Messrs. Lea e. Blanchard, Of Philadelphia, for
the fifth and last volume Of Capt. Wilkess History
of the United States Exploring Expedition; which
is least rich any of its predecessors in every.
thing contributing to increase the fame of the work,
and to cause it to be so universally sought after.
This volume treats of the islands of the Pacific
ocean; of the coast harbos, country, and people of
Oregon at present so full Of interest on either side
of the Atlantic; of men and things in California
hardly second to Texas and Oregon in attractions
for the American pubc--and also of India and the
Indian ocean. Our limits will not allow us to say
more ofthis work, which we heartily recommend as
well worthy of the perusal of all who desire to learn
as they live.

In the tenth, Andrew Kennedy, well known fol
his indomitabe Independence and unwaverng de.
mocracy, is candidate for reelection, and is OPP
posed by his old competitor, DIR. L. g. Thompson
Efforts are being made to defeat Mr. K, by union
of the wings and aboltonists but it will fail. An
honorable and high-minded wing cannot enter into
such an unholy alliance. Our friends are confident
of returning Mr.. Kennedy consummation de-
voutly to be desired.
The State was SO apportoned, by wing legisla.
ture in 1910, into senatorial and representative dis
tricts, as to give the preponderance to the wings
when United States senator was to be elected At
the last session, the regular time for eecling
tor, the State having just voted for Mr.. Polk, the
democrats postponed the election. The representa-
lion now being fair and equal, democratic majority
will be returned to both branches which will secure
the election of United States senator.
