Your overland express has Just arrived

The steamship Maria Burt arrived at
New Orleans on the 18th inst. from Vera
Cruz, whence she sailed on the 9Th inst.
She brings letters and papers from the
capital 10 November 9th.
The MeXicans claim having gained an
advantage over aparty of Americans, who
are said 10 have landed from one Of our yes
sells of war at Mulcge, and after fighting
all day, embarked again-at least 50 the
Mexican accounts say, and nothing has been
received from the attacking party.
By an arrival from Queretaro at Vera
Cruz OH the ilh inst, communication was
received from the English Secretary of Le
gation Mr., Thornton covering a Protest
from Lord Palmerson, the British Minister
of Foreign Affairs, protesting agains, the
iurcible levy of taxes on English residents
i'll Mexico, for the purpose Of aiding 10 sup
port the war.-~Ihese levIes were made
six months since and paid by the English

THE STEAMER WAsuINGToN The Amer
lean mail steamer Washington reached
Southampton from New York. on her last
trip; in less than fifteen days, notwiihstand>
ing she encountered very heavy weather.
This line Of vessels equal the Cunard
steamers in speed and regularity at the start
not wihsanding the years of experience
the latter have had. The Washington was
10 leave Southampton for New York Oh
Friday last.
THE CRISIS PAST. Private letters, says
the N. Y. Express, from the highest
sources in London, state, that the monied
concerns of the country have taken a
more favorable turn, and that it is con-
sidercd that the crisis has passed. AS an
evidence of this, the rate Of interest had
senSibly lessened, and Consols, the
great barometer of the market, had i'm
proved.
The CosT. The Pawtucket Gazette
states that the expenses OF the Fremont
Court NJ atrial already amount to upward of
500, 900, and if this be tue case, it is not
probable that the expenses in the end will
be less than 100000. A pretty round sum
this for the government TO pay for nothing
for we take it for granted that the trial will
result in nothing ofany consequence.
Dome RIGHT. Mr.. Speaker Winthrop
is doing good work at Washington, in
clearing out ofthe Capitol the restaurant
and other drinking places which have
been maintained there during previous
sessions, for the members OF the House.
Mr.. Dallas did the same for the restaurant
attached to the Senate, some time ago.
