FRoM YUcArAN.-We copy the following
from the n. o. Picayune, of the 29th ult: The
schooner Charron, Capt Clark, arrived yester-
day from Campeachy, ria Sisal, having left
the former port on the 18th and the latter on
the 23d inst.
Capt. Clark informs us that the brk Altorf
was lost on the I'd inst. on the Alacranes. The
captain, his wife, and one seaman were drown
ed. Further particulars were not known
when the Charron sailed. The Amigo del Pu-
eblo. of Campeachy, of the 10th inst, an
nounces that on the morning of the previous
day the passengers of merchant ship arrived
there, which had been shipwrecked on the bar
of the Alacran. 1t adds that she was bound
from Hamburg to Vera Cruz, witha cargo val
ued at 100000. Nothing more is told, and
we do not know whether the newspaper and
Capt. Clark both refer to the same vessel.
The follows reports are given in the Amigo
of the 10th, in relation to the war with the In
dams. A section of the lst Division, with its
headquarters at Tekox, had visited the towns
of Ticum, Tixoutum and Pencuyut, having dis
persed the savages, who were entrenched and
in considerable force, particularly at Tixcuy-
tum. At this place the contest lastedan hour
and half, but the whites at last entered the
town, although with the loss of sergeant and
two soldiers killed, and eleven wounded. On
the 4th four other detachments left Tekax-
where the General-in- Chief arrived that night
with his suite-for the same towns. They
skirmished with the savages at Ticum and
Tixcuytum, and finally drove them from their
para pets and defences, without other loss than
one officer and three soldiers being wounded.
These reports, the latest we have, put at rest
the rumor somewhat prevalent of late that
Tekax was besieged by the savages.
From certain movements undertaken, il
would appear that operations are about to be
commenced upon the principles encampmenr
of the rebels. Cn the 4th Col. Morales march
ed from Izamel to Yaxca ba with 200 men w he re
he would incorporate his force with that of Sr
Mendez, commandant of the 4th Division
Detachments were lett TO protect the line as
| follows: 2l4 men al lzmal, $50 at Tunkas, 500
a Cenotillo, and 800 al Citas.

MAcRE.DY.-The second appearance of this
tragedian, in Philadelphia it was thought, from
the public excitement, would have been mark
ed by something serious.
The house was crammed in every part, while
a large crowd surrounded the entrances. The
Ledger says, that the moment Mr.. NIaoready
advanced upon the stage, the most clamorous,
deafening applause broke out from the pit and
boxes. This continued for sevetal minutes,
during which Mr.. Nj. stood unmoved, merely
bowling his thanks. As the applause slackened
four or five Kisses were head from the second
and third tiers, but these were speedily ST.
fenced by fresh applause, and cries OF "turn
them out" from all parts of the house.
The Kisses then ceased, and the play went
on. No further difficulty occurred; nof a sim
gle hiss was heard during the performance. =
After the curtain fell, there was general call
for Macready. In few minutes he appeared
before the curtain, bowed his thanks, bui
with good taste, RETAINED from making a
speech.

0Cs~lt is said that Senator flanagan in
tends remaining in this city until after the
election for Senator. This is wise delermin-
alton. In his absence he would be SO badly
beaten that he would not know himself al
Washington, on the reception of the news
Ii here to guard against the intrigues on foot
TO defeat him, he will most probably be re.
elected. We suppose it will not be contend
ed, by those seeking his place; that he has not
been b faithful representative Of his party, in
the Senate. Whatever other objections may
be urged, that cannot be.
The election of Secretary of State, President
of the State Bank end several President Jud-
ges, affords a fine opportunity for combination
and it is diffault to tell what the result will be.

FIRE IN VIcKsBURG- The Theatre Agdin
BurRt.-By the follow ing, from the Vicksbnrg
Whig, il will be seen that there has been an
other fire in that city. by which the new thea
tire was destroyed:
On Thursday night last, about IL o'clock, the
new and elegant block of buildings on the cor
ner of Washington and Crawford streets was
discovered 10 be on fire, and though vigorous
efforts were made, the progress of the flames
was not arrested short of damage amounting
to about $4,000. The beautiful theatre was
clicked OUT as clean as the water in the pro-
phet's ditch. and of the commodious store
rooms under il, nothing but the naked and
charred walls remain. The whole block was
more or less injured, much the larger portion
of ii was entirely consumed. New buildings
of similar proportions, though less tastetully
arranged, were burned on the same spot on the
night of Friday, the 28th of January last
Those were the property of Judge Pinckard, and
these the almost completed boast CT an enter
pricing stock company, who with commenda-
bic zeal commenced replacing the former loss
very shortly after it occurred. La few days
the last stroke of the painters brush would
have left the result of their liberality a noble
ornament to our city, when the torch OF some
fiendish incendiary lighted the destroying
flames.
It is said that the loss is entirely covered BY
insurance.
