Important from Northern Mexico.

New ORLEANS, Nov. 18.-We had vague ru-
mors here a day or two ago, yet however, suf-
iciently well-founded to send by telegraph, to
the effect that Caravajal had been compelled to
raise the siege of Matamoros.
BY the arrival to-day of the steamer Fanny,
with later dates from the Rio Grande, we have
a confirmation Of the rumor and details Of the
affair.
1t appears that Caravajal had been forced to
raise the siege. He held out some time in the
daily hope of receiving reinforcements, but be-
ing disappointed, he was compelled, in conse-
quence of the want of artillery, to beat n re-
treat. The Mexicans then sailed out Of the
town and completely routed the insurgents, who
suffered immense loss.
Caravajal succeeded in reaching Reynosa, at
which place he collected his scattered forces,
and was about returning to Matamoros to re-
new the attack.
An extra from the Office Of the Rio Bravo,
giving still later accounts says that Caravajal
was daily receiving large reinforcements, and
had already commenced his march again upon
Matamoros, at which place Gen. Canales had
arrived with three hundred Of the Matamoros
National Guards.
Gen. Vega was momentarily expected with
eight hundred regulars to assist in the defence
of Matamoros. Recruiting officers had been
despatched by Gen. Caravajal to the United
States, and it was also reported that he had
issued declaration ofindependence.
Accounts have also reached here from the
CITY Of Mexico, which state that the greatest
excitement was prevailing there in consequence
of the insurrection on the Rio Grande, and the
pronunciamentos which had been declared at
Cordova and other places. The cholera was
disappearing from Mazatan.
THE LIQUOR Law IN MAISE.--The Maine
temperance people seem determined to carry
their stringent liquor law into effect at all haz
ards, and not to be outwitted by any subter-
fuges of the anti-temperance people. One of
these subterfuges has been to have casks of Ii
quor marked for citizens of some other State,
but /" in the care Of" some citizen of the town
in Maine where they are landed. A case Of
this kind occurred in Eastport on Thursday
last. About Fifty barrels of liquor we're seized
on board vessel, and the liquor landed and
stored.

has denied them anything like general circula.
ton. Their value however, is fully appreciated
by the whole profession, who, have no doubt
will hasten To avail themselves OF the opportunity
of possessing themselves Of the republication Of
Messrs Little Brown, which can be had at less
than one fifth the expense of the original works.
From the Boston Courier.
The enterprising publishers have here presented
10 the legal profession, we judge, a long-fe
desiderattn--a prompt, cheap, and comprehensive
series of reports Of all the decisions of all the Eng
lsh courts The series commences with the cases
of the November term, 1850; and we observe In the
fret number decisions pronounced in Westminster
Hall on the 30th January, 1851. This ID unparal-
leled despatch in the history of legal reporting.
Westminster is here brought two years nearer to
US than our own court house. The style IN which
the work is issued reflects great credit upon the
publishers, editors and all connected with II.
The page is large, fair, white, and readable. Inc
table Of cases and index seem to be prepared with
much careand diligence. The former strikes US as
executed on very useful plan, referring not only
to the case and page of the volume, but containing
also short abstract of the subject of each case.
The editors notes scattered through the volume,
referring to American decisions, and still more to
the value of the work The publication 10 TO be
continued in monthly parts or numbers, making
each year six large volumes, for the remark
ably low price Of s 10 per annum. We trust both
editors and publishers will receive ample remuner-
alton for the service they here doing the legal
profession.
Such publication, we think, cannot fail to be
useful 10 the profession and profitable to the pub
lishers.-P philadelphia Legal fntelligencer

Two THE PUBLIC.-We the undersigned, hav-
n ing crossed Nicaragua, en- route from Cali
forna TO New York, under the impression and
solemn assurance of the agents of the line that 1t
was quicker and more desirable than that by Pa
mama; and having found il 30 entirely different,
having suffered great detention, loss, and expo
sure, we deem IL duty TO the public TO make
known the facts. The steamer Independence, in
which we left San Francisco, brought down more
than double the number of passengers she could
accommodate and more than double the number
the agent represented as having taken passage on
her. The boat, too, is UNIT and unsafe sea
boat. The consequence was, that our passage to
San Juan del Sud was one of great danger and suf-
feFing.
we confidently expected, on arriving at San Ju-
an del Sud- to be provided with transportation for
ourselves and baggage Immediately, as we had
bee led to believe that the transit would not re
quire more than forty eight hours we found,
however, that the agent had not provided animals
and could not procure them; so that alter remain
ing two days, many of the passengers set OIL on
foot under the assurance that their baggage would
be forwarded TO them, and that the steamer would
not leave Panama without IL. We found the road
to Lake Nicaragua nearly impracticable, and the
distance, instead of being twelve miles, many OF
us had to travel thirty. The boats on the lake and
river are very small and unfit for passengers, and,
although packed like slave ships, could not take
half of the passengers. We were without food, and
exposed to violent rains On the seventh day we
reached San Juan del Norte, and were forced to
come away at once in the Prometheus. Not more
than one half the passengers of the Independence
have been able to get through; the remainder,
some two hundred, being left the route with the
specie, and nearly all the baggage. We were most
uncivy received and miserably provided for on
board the Prometheus. In consequence, we left
her at Havana, and by the kindness OF Captain
Schenck we were received on board the Ohio.
1t is not necessary to give detailed account OF
the annoyances to which we have been subjected
by the misrepresentation and insolence OF agents,
the want of food and room, the loss of baggage
and unexpected delay; it is enough to express our
rop vic hat Z,
and in the present condition of the roads, and the
present means of transportation, the Panama route
IL preferable to that by Nicaragua.
In conclusion, we beg to return our Thanks 20
Captain Schenck of the steamship Ohio, for the
courteous treatment we have received from MN
during our boisterous passage. aud particularly
for receiving Va on board, as II was contrary, we
are infr...s, his instructions to receive passen
gers from the opposition line.

GODEY's LADY's BOOK FOR 1862.
Increase of Reading Mattery

TINE LADY'S BOOK for the ensuing year will
IL present many novel features suited to the ad-
vancing demands of the public taste 1t has ever
been the object of the publisher to take the lead
among the popular Magazines of this country; and
the host of imiators, who have been constantly

cient to attest his brilliant success. The prompt
ness with which every new idea that he suggests is
adopted by others, is sufficient reason for his not
being very explicit and exact in his promises OF
what is yet to come. He does not wish to lay out
plans for others to follow. 1t is sufficient, however,
to say that all the existing popular features Of the
LADY's Book will be retained, and many new ones,
particularly attractive in a Lady's Book and Fami-
ly Magazine, will be introduced. The useful and
the elegant will always be kept in view.
To the Magazines alone we must look for the
illusions of the master minds of Literature. 1t is
useless to publish list of names-suftice it to say
that we have published articles, and have others to
publish from all the best american ,orites, male and
fsm&Is.

tain in addition to the most beautiful and numerous
cngravings--three Of iDhich coored-an addi-
tional quantity of reading by American authors.

thousands of notices that we have from the con-
temporary press will establish it, that it is The most
magnifcen periodical in the icorld!
The publisher will give twelve numbers for 1852
that the London Arts Union would be proud of,
and their price is ten dollars year.
IL must be observed that the LADY's Book caters
to the taste of the American Ladies. 1t furnishes
them with every thing that interest Lady
