ARRIVALS FROM SKA.-Our marine list of this
morning will show the effects of the easterly
winds which prevailed yesterday 1t was bleak,
dreary day outside, but bright and no doubt a
pleasant to the underwriters, well as to
the gentlemen in command of those vessels that
have been fortunate in making short passages
The number ofarrivals yesterday was very large.
From foreign ports alone we had about thirty
square rugged vessels, many Of which have made
extraordinary quick passages. The little snip
Edwina, Capt. West, came in from Antwerp IN
run of 90 days. The splendid new ship West
Point, Capt. Allen, made also an excellent run.
She left Liverpool on the afternoon the 18th of
September, and was reported below on Saturday
morning last. The packet ship Prince Albert,
Meyer, from Portsmouth, left on the first and was
in the offing on Saturday The fine ship Prince
de Joinville, Capt Lawrence, came In among the
number after passage of only twenty-three days
from Liverpool.

THE COMING ELECTION IN NEw YoRK.-We
are within week, nearly, of the election in this
State; let us take summary view of the condi-
ton Of parties.
The democratic party is in state of revolution
and distinction. All cohesive power seems to
have evaporated from it at the recent convention
at Syracuse. Between the squabbles OF the old
men and the new men, the old hunkers and the
barnburners, the party is at SKIES and sevens,
and 1t will puzzle its sages to reconcile the dill
ferences between them. The young men are
hungry, and want a sop, while the old men think
that there is none to spare, after supplying
themselves. The young men, the progress
sives," are determined to work for themselves,
to nominate their own candidates, and if possible
elect them, and with This view they hold
convention in Herkimer tomorrow. They
think that as they cannot get the crumbs from
the table Of the old men, they will endea-
vor to upse. the table and get share of the
pap. Such is the condition of this party, which
to say the least, does not augur well for their
success at the election; indeed it is highly favor.
able to the cause of the wings.
The wings, the anti-renters and abotionists,
are in the field as usual; but we miss the natives.
We are sorry for this, because they helped to
increase the number of candidates, the more of
whom are in the field the better.
The ensuing election will be more than ordi-
narly interesting, because it will be the first
election for State officers that will have taken
place under the new constitution. We publish
to-day correct list of candidates of all parties,
as far as they have come to our knowledge, and
expect to be able to publish the nominations of
the barnburners in a day or two.

At Matamoras an attack was apprehended, as
on the night Of the 18th considerable body OF
Mexican cavalry approached the outskirts OF the

The alarm soon given in the city, and our.
troops were under arms and at their stations with

Mexicans made good their retreat.
There were some cases of small poX at Matamo.

IMPoRTANT FROM MExICo.-The Southern mail

Il is positively asserted that the Commander of
the Mexican forces at Vera Cruz, had received
imperative orders from Santa Anna, TO withdraw
ali the forces from that city and march into the

The general suppposition seemed to be, that
Vera Cruz would be occupied by our troops with
out striking blow.
Preparations were making at Tampico, with
great rapidity, for the embarkation of the troops
designed to operate on Vera Cruz.
It is also stated that Gen. Urea has received
positive orders from Santa Anna, TO march against
Matamoras and the Brazos
Gen. Scott arrived at Tampico on the Goth, and
was acting with great energy.
