We learn by the arrival ofthe ship Oregon at
New Orleans, from Anton Lizardo, which place
she left on the Goth ult, that three four hours
after that vessel sailed, heavy firing was heard
in Vera Cruz, and from the sound, it came from
the Americans There is no doubt that the city
was attacked on that day, and we may expect to
hear of some important results from there every
hour. Our readers will find the news in another
column. 1t is of deep interest. They will re-
collect that we informed them some time ago,
that the 10th had been appointed for the attack.
According to the accounts Vera Cruz is to be a
second Sararossa!

RHODE ISLAND ELEcTIoN.-The following is
the result of the election held in Rhode Island on
Wednesday,
Elisha Harris, the wing candidate, is elected
Governor by the people. Both branches of the
Legislature are probably wing by handsome ma
jorites. Robert B. Cranston, wing, is reelected
to Congress from the eastern district There is
probably no choice in the western, but there is a
wing majority in the district.
What effect will this election and that in Con-
necticut have upon the wings in this city on
Tuesday next!

BY the arrival of the packet ship Gladiator,
from London, we have advices from Europe
three days later than those previously received.
The news does not amount to much, politically
or commercially. 1t is long time since the
cotton markets in Great Britain have been so in
active as they were at the latest dates. The corn
markets were moderately active, and prices with
out any material alteration. Unless there is
some change in the principal markets, the next
steamer will not bring any very important news
of commercial character. The political affairs
of Europe appear to be as quiet as commercial

will have gained their cause, and they
desire no other triumph. An attemp
will be made TO prove both these point.
in future numbers of these essays.
A long dissertation at one time
would neither comport with the leisure
of the reader or the writer. In con
clusion, we observe that our present
institutions are defective. They are
behind the age. They are unworthy
Of the middle ofthe nineteenth century.
We can bring about most important
ameliora,ions. Yet we indulge IN no
extravagant expectations. We do not
hope for absolute perfection. No doubt
the destined struggle between the ge-
mus of good and the genius of evil, the
spirit Of right and the spirit of wrong
will continue until it shall please the
almighty disposer of events TO bestow
on virtue its final triumph and on vice
its last and decisive overthrow. Yet
in the mean time we may well expect
the advantage to become mare and
more manifest on the side of virtue and
humarl happiness. 1t therefore becomes
good men 10 bestlr themselves and NOT
TO sit down contented with institutions
acknowledged to be defective. I'm.
provement and advancement are laws
Of human nature instituted by heaven,
and therefore we must have conven-
ton to amend our constitution.
Most respectfully. &c.

LATER FROM TAMPICO

The schooner ST. Paul, Capt. Talbot
seven days from Tamplco, arrived here
last evening.
Capt. Talbot reports that, on the
day he left, messenger had arrived
from the wrecked ship Ondiaka, stating
that the volunteers on board, together
with Capt. Miller, who, with compa-
ny of artillery, had been despatched
to their relief, were surrounded BY a
Mexican force from Tuspan, amount
ing to 1000 men. About 200 musk IS
only being saved from the wreck, they
found it impossible to disperse the en-
emy.
Gen. Patterson, feeling satisfied OF
the truth Of this report, despatched at
once 800 cavalry TO their assistance.
The schooner Ella was also chartered
and took on boar 1 the armament from
the United States shr. Nonato, (Mexl-
can prize) commanded by Midshipman
Marshall d. Smith, likewise 200 regu
lars and proceeded to the wreck. The
result may be looked for by the next
arrival from that port.
Although the above report of Capt.
Talbot, places the volunteers and Capt.
Miler's company IN rather a perilous
position, still it will be seen, taking the
worst view of the case, they were on.
ly surrounded. The report does not
say that they were unable to protect
themselves. but that they were unable
to disperse the enemy. Assuming
their position, then, to be even as crit
ical as represented, our conviction is.
that they managed to keep the enemy
at day until the strong additional rein
forcement sent down br Gen. Patter-
son reached them, which would OF
course dispel all apprehension for their
safety.

vey, it should be found that the route
partly by Fishcreek and partly by
Gravecreek. was a better and cheaper
route, or if it be more costly, provided
Wheeling should pay the difference Of
cost in construction, then, in either
case, the route partly by Fishcreek
and partly by Gravecrek to Wheeling
should be pursued.
Mr.. Edgington explained and sus-
tanned his amendment, and Mr.. Hun
