Later from Monterey.

The steamship Palmetto, Lewis, arrived last
night, in SO hours from Galveston. Among the
passengers, were DR.. Conrad and Lieut.. Mich
OILS, U. s. A.; Lionts. Dorfendorf, Price, repor-
ted dead, Smith and Smodos of the Mississippi
volunteers, and Lieut.. Read of the Texas RAN
CARS, with al volunteers.
The steam schooner Florida was eleven days
from Brazos Santiago, with 300 discharged vol
untoers. She put into Galveston on the 25th,
short Of provisions and water, and was to leave
again for this port on the Goth inst.
From some of the officers of the q. s. Army,
who came passenger on the Palmetto, aud who
left Monterey on the 18th inst, we learn that
tile first Government Express, ordering Gen.
Taylor to carry on the war with renewed en-
ergy, in consequence of the refusal of Mexico
to negotiate, was within a few mi os of Monte
rey, and would reach that point the next day.
The health of the troops at Monterey was
much better than it had been on the Rio
Grande.
The Notifications in the city were garisoned
by the regular troops,
Gen. Taylor's camp was about three miles
this side of Monterey.
The last accounts from Gen. Ampudia and
his Amy left them beyond Saltillo on their
march toward San Luis Potosi, at which point
it was rumored that Santa Anna had arrived at
the head of thirteen thousand, and daily expec-
ting reinforcements.
The people of Monterey who had left about
the time ofthe siege were gradually returning,
They had began to exhibit friendly feelings to-
wards the Americans, interchanging of visits
not being rare among both parties.
We are gratifed to state that the duel'
which were on the tapis at Camargo between
pulie Peyton and Gen. Marshall, and also be
tween Captain Musson of this city, and Capt
Cheevess, of the Texas volunteers, have al
been amicably arranged.
In addition to the above items, we hOv,
gathered the following from the Galveston CT
villain Of the 23d, received by the Palmetto,
Gen. Ampudia has issued another proclama
ton since his retreat from Monterey, calm!
upon the Mexicans to flock to his standard t.
repel the invaders of their soil. His excuse
in the proclamation, for defeat at Monterey
and the surrender of that city to our troops
is A WANT OF AMMUNITION. The ut
ter falsity of this statement is we'll known, 70
any quantity Of Ammunition was found at Mon
terey after the capitulation,-N, O. Tropie.

At II O'Clock last night we received from
our correspondent at New York, direct, by tel
egrapb, the following summary Of the news
brought by the steamer Caledonia.
The steamer Caledonia, Captain Lott arrived
at Boston on Tuesday night from Liverpool,
whence she sailed on the 4th inst.
The steamship Great Britain, Capt, Hosken,
left Liverpool on the 23d nit, for New York,
with one hundred and eighty-fve passengers,
and ON the same night she went ashore al
Rothmullen, in Dundrem bay on the coast oil
Ireland. The passengers were all safely land
ed. At the latest accounts she had not been
got off. Her cargo had been discharged. The
particulars Of this disaster may be found be-
low.
The Surgeon Of the Great Britain was the
first who landed with the mail bags, with which
he proceeded TO Liverpool, via Belfast. They
were sent on to the United States by the Gale
donia. In the course of the following day (the
23d) a large number of passengers proceeded
to Warren Point, and Others to Down Patrick,
with the intention of returning to Liverpool.
The larger number proceeded to the latte
place, where the scene Of that morning presen
ted one which that little Irish town never be
fore witnessed. -Four horse coaches, and som
dozen i%annting cara proceed, at the same tim
on to Belfast to take passage by the steame
Windsor, which sailed on that d,y for Liver
pool.
Among the passengers were the distinguish
ed "Danseuses Vieneses;' forty-oighti in nun
Der. During the day the steamer Prince o
Wales went around from Belfast to render tn,
Great Britain assistance. 1t was tried in hieI
water, and found to be impossible. she therefor,
returned to Belfast, taking these 48 little fai
ries and their guardian to that city, on tbei
] way back to Liverpool.

Beauties of the sub-Treasury.

A Washington correspondent of the Balti,
more Patriot writes under date Of the 9Th ult
ga Government agent with a guard left
Washington last week for New York, with q
draft on the Custon-House at that place fol
money to pay the people Of the district, and
what do you suppose the agent and lis guard
brought back? New York shin piasters!--
And the people were forced to take them at Q
discount, while the Government has funds here
which the Secretary of the Treasury will not
use. mention this to show how beautifully
the sub-Treasury works!"
Upon this the editor Of the Patriot remarks
awe learn that a similar operation has beer
performed within a few days past In Baltimore,
and that this ridiculous farce is becoming ar
almost daily occurrence. The sub-Treasury
is a serious injury to the people, but it affords
fine pickings for the brokers.n

SANTA ANNA's PASSPORT. The Havana cor
respondent of the New Orleans Picayune,
writing on the LIST inst, says that he has been
informed that General Santa Anna did not
have a passport from the Government of the
United States, but a letter Of recommendation
from President Polk to the Commodore of the
blockading squadron.
Whether a passport or letter Of recommen-
dation, it does not much matter. 1t is pretty
evident that Santa Anna went through our
feet by permission of the Government; and
some people are beginning to think that it is
also pretty evident that our Government has
been pretty considerably "diddled."

The Washington Union says that the Adj
ministration is "resolved to stick to its avowed
principles" How beautiful it "sticks to its
principles" when it declares itselfin favor of
an exclusive metallic currency, donounces
banks as swindling shops, and stigmatiges
bank notes as "Glthy rags'' that have not the
slightest claim to be treated as money, and yet
at the same time deputies its Secretary Of the
Treasury to make a tour among the banks, hat
in hand and to beg of them the favor of the
exchange of a few millions of their paper for
the same amount of the Treasury notes author
ised by the late Locofoco Congress!M What
sort of way is this of sticking to ayowed prin-
ciples.-Lou. Jour.

Tuesday, Nov. 3, 1916.
The amount of business transacted in our
cotton market during the past week has been
limited, and our quotations range at a reduce
ton in price of fully / a cent. This is attribu-
table to the non-reception of later news from
Europe, and the Ianguid condition of the New
Orleans cotton carket.
The foreign news by the Caledonia were due
in New Orleans at our latest dates, and we may
confidently expect to receive them by the ar
rival of the first packet. When they are re-
ceived, they will relieve all parties from sus-
pense, and doubtless impart new life to the
market.
By reference to the following quotation o.
sales which have been effected during the pas
week, it will be seen that prices range at fully
! a cent lower than at our last report: 6 baleI
have been sold at g 65 cents, % at g., 9 at 9
