The wires between this city and Phladel phla,
are again in operation, and the lightning Of hea-
ven once more assumes its prerogative In the
transmission of intelligence.
From Mexico, we have late and important ad-
vices by various arrivals at New Orleans from
Vera Cruz and Tampico. 1t will be seen that
dispatches have been sent from Mexico to this
government by an English man of-war, supposed
TO be negotiations for peace and that the Mexi-
can government were using every means in their
power to bring the new members of Congress to-
gether at Queretaro, to decide upon some policy
which would hasten to climax the difficulties
between the two governments.
From9W ashington, we have, from our cores
pendent, the facts relating to the recall OF Gen.
Scott 1t will be seen that charges have been
preferred against Cen 8. by officers of the army
that Court of Inquiry will be held at Perote,
and that Gen. Towson is route to preside over
It's deliberations. The statement that Cen
Worth was TO be relieved from arrest, and the
command of the army given to him, is contra
dicted. Major Gen. Butler, second in command
TO Gen. Scott, has been assigned that important
position.
The Congressional reports are unusually in
teres sting. The introduction of resolution in
on the President for reports and other commu-
nicauons from Gen. Taylor as to the line proper
to be occupied by our troops, gives US help to
guess at the course which Mr. Berrien is in
favor of in regard to the Mexican war, viz:
defensive line, on Mr.. Calhouns plan. This is
strengthened by the fact that MIR. Calhoun
moved an amendment to the resolution, so as
10 embrace the reports of any other officer
on the same subject. Mr.. Anterior intro
duced resolution 10 modify the sub-treasury
The resolutions of Mr.. Mangum, calling tor
the instructions under which General Scott's
order, No. 1856, was issued, and also his opinion
as TO the efficiency of his means to carry the
same into effect, were taken up. This led to
exciting debate, in which Messrs. Crittenden,
Allen. Calhoun, and Foote, were conspicuous
The most important subject that engages, at the
present time, the attention of the country, viz.
the Ten Regiment Bill, was also taken up, and
discussed by Mr. Foote, in vindlcation of the
bill and the policy of the administration. In the
House, there nothing done beyond the an
nouncement by Mr.. Brodhead of the decease of
the Hon. Mr.. Hornbeck.
A report of the proceedings in the State Legis-
ature, market reports shipping intelligence, Sc,
&C., will be found in detail, under the teegra-
phic head.

SHIP News AND ADVERTISING The ship news
published in the Herald is acknowledged by all
ship owners, masters, and merchants, to be the
best in this city in this country; and yet these
persons all give their advertisements and patro-
mage TO a few of the large papers, which have
little circulation, and ray little attention to ship
news. The most of those merchants pay at the
rate of one hundred to two hundred dollars
year for advertising in the large papers down
town; whilst, with sum Of from twenty-five to
fifty dollars, they could accomplish a greater de-
gree of publicity and usefulness in the New
York Herald. In fact, the advertising business
in New York is old plan, which grew up
in the infancy of the city, and is the most waste
full and useless that can be imagined, and we
shall show it TO be so one of these days.

GENERAL CAss TIE EXCLUSIVE CANDIDATE OF
THE DEMOCRACY. Two Western States, Ohio
and Indiana, have now nominated, by State con-
ventlons, General Cass Tor the next Presidency.
These are most important movements, and would
seem to indicate that General Cass must be the
candidate of the democratic party, even before
the national convention meets In the East, in
this city, and every where, the symptoms are
more favorable to General Cass than to any
other man. Mr.. Buchanan is strong in Pennsyl-
vania; but his strength seems to be confined to
that State. A union between the friends of Cass
and Buchanan, would settle the question of a
candidate for that party before the national con-
vention In this State, there will be a great
struggle; bu, no doubt General Cass will carry
the regular democratic vote of New York, in
spite of all the opposition of the Van Burens.

AT this moment, the circulation of the Herald
mean the daily circulation; and yet, in the face
Of this fact, the Postmaster General still con-
tinues to violate the law of Congress, and the
President of the United States encourages and
supports him in this violation.
1t is, to be sure, very small and contemplate
matter, this Post Office advertising, and the vio-
lation of the law too But is it not melancholy to
see the distinguished Chief Magistrate of this
country, and one of his cabinet ministers, de-
scending to the meanness of violating petty
law of Congress, to crafty some petty and pri-
vate purposes of their own? The Presidents
cabinet is made of other materials, and would
never sink to the meanness which such man as
the Postmaster General does. Mr.. Richie, also,
who forms one of the trlumvirate of little men
who control the government of this great people,
states that the articles in the Herald on the sub
ject of the Post Office and the Postmaster Gene
raj, are written by some person that has been
removed from Office. A more impudent and base
falsehood could not come from the smallest devil
In the lower regions. But Richie, Polk, and
Gave are similar in capacity and intellect, and
very properly sympathise with each other.

Greek, Captain Griffiths, from Puerto Cabello,
we are in receipt of accounts from that port to
the 9th ultimo.
The news is very interesting in political
point of view.
In our last notices of Venezuelan affairs we
expressed an opinion that ere long some out
break would take place-such appears to have
been on the point of occurring at the time the
Greek left.
President Jose Tadeo Monagas, who owes
his position to the influence of General Paez
and many of the most prominent citizens In We
nezuela, appears to have been taithless to the
promises made to his electors, and by the en-
actment of many most restrictive laws has be-
come as unpopular as he was previously popular
so much so, that he has been impeached, and
is to be tried by the House of Congress. Appre-
hensive of difficulties, he ordered his brother,
General Jose Gregorio Monagas, to repair to the
capital, Caracas, with a force of 500 cavalry.
A messenger sent by the Governor of Valencia,
(who is opposed to the presidential party to
some of his friends in Caracas, with important
documents, was waylaid, killed, and rihed of
his papers. On the whole, everything looks
very threatening, and we expect that the mex
news
Amidst all this trouble, General Flores has
arrived in Venezuela. Ell Liberal, the official
paper, speaks of him more kindly than it has
heretofore done. He wished to visit the tomb
of Bolivar, in Caracas, and did accordingly do
so on the 18th December. He adorned the tomb
with coronal wreath which was given to him
by General Petit, in Paris, on his visit to Napo-
L. -
following remarks as to the date of this visit -
"ExrRAoRpINARy CoINcIDErcEs-Ths Republic Of
Colombia was formed on the 18th December, 1919. The
Liberator (Bolvsr) died the 18th December 1880,
and on tho 18th December, ls47 one OF his most re-
nownsd hsutsnants General j. J. Flores visits the
tomb of the hero"
We have heard it stated that Flores is a natu-
raj son of Bolivar.
Advices from Bogota to the 18th November,
and Quito to the 18th October, had been received
at Caracas. Nothing new.

The PLAINFIKLD BANk.-We are ANNOYED with
requests and enquiries relative to the Plainfeld
Bank-some asking us to blow up the receivers,
and others, the ex-owners-some asking why we
don't publish the statement of the receivers, and
others asking for the replies of Messrs. Beach
and Sons.
This is all nonsense The controversy be-
tween the receivers and the ex.owners is all
sham-the desire to pay the holders of the rags
of this broken concern, is sham also. Neither
of the parties wish for that. The Plainfeld
Bank is an oyster-the contents will be eaten,
and the shells thrown to the community. Well,
is ii not melancholy thing, that the community
is shaved and cheated in this way, out of
fifty or sixty thousand dollars Not bit
of it! The community, the people, the wash
erwomen, the seamstresses, the porters,
the butchers, and the bakers, deserve no.
thing else. For years before the failure
of this and other banks took place, we told what
would be the result, and they paid no attention
TO our predictions. On the contrary, they COM
bined against U.S. They aided those who feeced
them, and the community, of all classes, are very
properly treated when they are humbugged and
cheated as they have been. We have not par
ticle of sympathy for the community. We once
had; but We have none now. We know at
this moment of number of fnanciers and
bankers who are preparing to cheat the COM
munlty with their eyes OPEN But does the
community think we are going to tell them who
they are! Not bit of 1t. The manner in which
they have treated those notices heretofore, con-
vinces us that the public like to be cheated, and
deserve to be cheated, and ought to be cheated,
unless they grow much better than they are.
We approve, therefore, of the conduct of the
receivers and ex-owners of the Plainfeld Bank.
Let them quarrel, and publish cards against each
other as much as they please; but we beg them
not to still their noise, not to pay the circulation,
but swallow it all among themselves-the fnan.
ciers, the receivers, the lawyers and all. NIB.
Two or three banks broke yesterday Good
1t is what the people deserve. More tomorrow
TROUBLES IN THE TAYLOR PARTY.-Man is
born to sorrow; he comes into the world weep
ing and walling. So seems to be the rule, also,
with all political parties and progressive move
ments. The Taylor party In this city is hardly
yet born and brought forth, and yet it is full of
trouble
The organization of the Rough and Ready
Club at the Madison House, was very unsatisfac-
tory. There was no crowd there-no enthusi-
asm; ii was simply quiet and respectable. This
will never do. Great dissatisfaction is also ex-
pressed towards the exclusive wing movement
started by MIR. Webb. Our contemporaries, Hale
& Hallock, are favorable to Taylor, but are de-
cdedly opposed to any movement excluding in
dependent republicans, heretofore belonging to
any party, from becoming leaders of the Taylor
movement.
We do not know how these troubles may be
avoided. Can any one tell DR.. Brandreth
should be called in.

The OPrRA-We understand that "Leonosa,"
an opera composed by Mr. Fry, of Philadelphia,
and translated into Italian last winter, in Paris,
is now on rehearsal at the Aston Place Opera,
and will be brought out there in very short
time. This opera was offered last winter to seve-
raj managers at Paris, but refused it was then
translated from good English into bad Italian, and
offered to the managers here, and accepted, on
the condition that Mr.. Fry should pay one or
two thousand dollars of the expenses of bringing
it out. This condition has, we understand, been
complied with, and the attempt will be made in
a short time to test the qualities of an opera
written bya young man of Philadelphia, few
years ago, before an audience at the Astor Place
Opera House. From the necessity of this selec
ton, we may suppose that the stock of good TIA
Ian operas has been exhausted.
We anticipate great noise in presenting this
opera. Great difference ofopinion exists already
as to its merts-some calling it very good
thing, and others, who consider themselves
Judges saying that it is trash, with the best parts
of 1t taken from other Italian operas. Whatever
its merits may be, we think it ought to have fair
trial; but there is much doubt about its final re-
ceptlon. The first four nights belong to the
company. If it should be performed after that,
some portion of the profits will be gwen to the
composer Benedict and Truffi are to take the
principal characters but Trufi, it is said, has
given up the cast, and protests she will not sing
in it, as it does not suit her voice.
There is trouble all round-among the mana
gers, among the singers, among the orchestra,
and every body else.
