American Schooner Seized by Mexican
Authorities.
New ORLEANS, Ju

New ORLEANS, July 4.
We learn by an arrival ut this port tha,
an insurrec,ion had broken out the lsthmus
Of rehuuntepec. Also an account Of the
seizure, by the Mexican authorities al
Manniillan, Of the American schooner
Helen Mar, for an alleged violation Of the
Mexican laws. The people 1.-The Isthmus
had resolved to take summary vengence,
and the members OF the expedition were
threatened to resist the authorities TO the
utmas, extremity. The schr., in conse.
quence has been released. Il was deter
mined, however by the authorities, TO have
sent the Helen Mar nn1 her crew, together
with Capt Selkirk, 10 Very Cruz as prison
ers, but the strong disapprobation which
was expressed by the people, induced them
to ,rego their resolutions. The captain Of
the schr at the time Of entering the port Of
Manatillan, was unaware of having com.
mitied any violation OF the NJ Mexican l,ws.
Valua6is Discorery.-O Que of our ci,i-
zens. Mr.. a. r Jones, has discovered a
mode Of ven:ilating sinks, which he thinks
will prove Of the greatest utility. By IN
sserting pipe, say four inches in diameter,
through the wall, just above the surface Of
the sink, and extending the pipe into the
hue of chimney In which fire is kept
up-for example kitchen chinney--so
great draft is created as 10 remove all
impure mir, and keep the premises entirely
free from disagreeable odors. The heat of
the chimney not only increases the draft
through the pipe. but purifies the uir as
it ascends. SO that By the lime j. reaches
the lop oil impurity is gone. MIR. Jones
assures Us that he has tried tho experiment
effectually, and that it works to perfection.
He says that in this way the most filthy
sinks may be rendered entirely free from
unpleasant ordors, while the purity Of The
surrounding atmosphere will be preserved.
In densely populated cities this discovery
will prove Of great value in The promotion
Of comfort and the preservation Of health.

we copy the following article relative to
the political stripe Of the Wing nominees
from the Star Of last week.
The Whig NominatEens.
The Wing State Convention Of lost week
put In nomination ticket, whose leading
elements are Of the mos, pro.slavery char.
acier. Their candidate for Governor, Mr.,
Vin,on, is bunker Of The huakers. In.
deco, some Of the Reserve delegates WINGED
q, his nomination, well knowing i, would
fall like wet blanket upon their prospects
on the Wes'ern Reserve.
MIR. G. f. Brown Of T'rumbull said the
Wings OF the north had notAing aga,ns.
Mr.. Vintoa, bu, he feared he would no, be
as popular rs some other man-bul they
would do the best they could for Mr.. Vim.
Ton.
Mr.. Harris, Of The Cleveland Herald,
snid the, in Cuyahoga county should do all
for MIR. Vintou that could be done Tor any
mortal Wing.
The pro slavery character Of Mr.. Vim.
ton is well understood. His entire devo.
ton and serviity to the slave power is no.
forgotten. In his long cong esslonal Gu
reer he has been the very champion,
among northern members, Of the slave in
terest.
We have not forgotten his course at the
session Of 1s4s, '49 when he contributed
his efforts and his influence 10 thwart the
friends Of freedom. AT that session, Mr..
Root Of Ohio introduced resolution, pro.
viding for organizing Territorial Govern
ments for California and New Mexico, ex.
cluding slavery therefrom. Mr.. Vinton
exer,ed himself, succe sfully,to break down
that resolution.
Mr.. Gott of New York, introduced q
resolution for abolishing the slave trade in
the District Of Columbia. and by the parlia.
nentary legerdemain Of SAMUEL F. VIM
TON, aid I'd by those other arrunt doughfa-
ces, Caleb and Truman Smith, Grennell
Of Mass. and Rockwell of Conn. the reso-
luton was defeated, these men virtually
| declaring themselves in favor Of the Dis.
trict slave trade. We should think such
a nomination would be unpopular nmong
men who have not forgotten The first prin-
ciples Of freedom.
The candidate for Lieut.. Governor, is as
pro.slavery as Vin.on himself, and this re-
mark may perhaps be made with equal
truth, in regard 10 all the candidates. il we
except Mr.. Andrews, and possibly Woods
and Bliss; but even they are lending their
influence to uphold slavery dynasty, SO
that their professions go for no practical
good.
In this sense, therefore, the Wings have
presented a thoroughgoing. Fillmore. Web

AND THE
BRITISH QUARTERLY REVIEWS.


Owing 10 the late revolutions aud
counter. revolutions among the nations
Of Europe, Which nave followed each
other IN such quick succession. and Of
which "hc end - not wf." the leading
periodicals Of Great Britain have be-
come invested with a degree Of inter
est hitherto unknown. They occupy a
middle ground between the hasty, dis.
jointed, and necessarily imperfect re-
cords Of the newspapers, and the elab-
crate aud ponderous treatises TO be fur.
nished by the historian at a future day.
Whoever reads these periodicals OBJ
tains a correct and connected o
OF all the important political events of
the old world, as they occur, and learns
the various conclusions drawn from
them by the leading spirits of the age.
The American Publishers therefore
deem it proper TO cali renewed atten-
ton to the works they republish and
the very low prices at which they are
offered to subscribers. The following
is their list, viz:
The Londoa Quarterly Ry0 rc,
The Eainbuyg Regtel0,
The North British Regie1C,
Tie Westminster Rertcp,
AND
Bhack1Dood'S Edinburgh Magazine.
In these periodicals are contained the
views, moderately, though clearly and
firmly expressed, ofthe three great par
ties in England-Tory, Wing, and Rad
ical-" BIackwood' and the London
Quarterly are Tory; the "Edenburgh
Review" Wing; and the Westminster
Review" Liberal. The North British
Review" owes its establishment to the
last great ecclesiastical movement in
Scotland, and is not ultra in its views
on any one of the grand departments
of human knowledge; it was originally
edited by DR.. ChalmeLs, and now, since
his death is conducted by his s~on-in-law
DIR. Hanna, associated with Sir David
Brewster. Its literary character is of
very highest order. The "West.
minister" though reprinted under that
title only, is published in England I'M
Ter the title of the "Foreign Quarterly
md Westminster" it being in fact a
lnion ofthe two Reviews formerly pub
ished and reprinted under separate IT,
les. 1t has therefore, the advantage
~ this combination, of uniting in one
work the best features of both as here !
otore issued. :
The above Periodicals are reprinted a
n New York, Immediately on their ar
ival by the British steamers, in a beau
lful clear type, on fine white paper, p
nd are faithful copies of The originals
'lackwood's Magazine being an exact =
