FROM THE RIO GRASDE.-Late papers from
Brownsville, Texas, annouce the death, at Matr-
moras, on the 2lst ult., from n disease of the
heart, Of ID. Juan Jose Lopez, Spanish Vjye
Consul at that place. A correspondent of the
Brownville Sentinel. writing from Roma, state
that oil hope of corn crop is abandoned on
account OF the general drought which prevails.
All the cattle of the neighborhood had been
carried off by the Indians The Rancberos hate
been seized with such dread of the savapes thnt
they have refused TO 90 out any where. The
fleet Of this state Of things is that commere
exists only in name.
The season on the RIO Grand is reported to
have been unusually dry, aid agriculture has
consequently suffered exceedir gly. A copous
shower, however. had fallen at Brownsville on
the 25ih ult., and il had raised the droopinp
spirits Of the farmers. A large portion Of the
crops are, nevertheless, said TO be beyond re.
covery. The long drought which has existed
IN Northern Mexico will produce scarcity OF
corn FOE another year. The people of that Sec
ton are now supplied with grain by the Browns.
vile nercha Is, who obtain il from New Or
leans.
The Rio Grande has encroached about ore
hundred feet upon The shore on the Texas sic e.
and u Is thought that the guard house at F. IT
Brown, as alec large portion Of the best build
ings IN Levee street, in Brownsville, will le
washed away by the next rise in the riv,r.
The efforts Of the city authorities to prevent the
result which is anticipated have been of no
avail, as the current is very strong and the bot
tom, composed Of quicksand, washes away. A
weekly steam communication has been estab-
lished between Brownsville and New Orleans.
A grand religious demonstration took place
lately at Matan oros. II consisted of process
sion numbering 1000 persons, headed by a
priest, who marched through the streets, sing
ing and praying TO the Almighty for rain. All
the streets were decorated with flowers ban.
ners waving from every window, and candles
burned on every balcony.

eB- We surrender all our spare space to-day
to the details of the late fire at San Francisco,
and have published the list of sufferers in full,
since every one having friends or relatives in
that fated city, will naturally be anxious to see
whether they have escaped loss of life or prop
erty.
The accounts in the California papers, given
in all hurry and confusion produced by the
calamity, do not give us any definite idea of the
precise amount Of the loss Of property. Happily
the loss of life was, under the circumstances re-
lnarkably small, though sufficient to sadden still
more the picture of ruin and wretchedness, pres
ent and prospective, to which this fatal confia-
grafton opens broad vista.
This fire broke out on the anniversary Of
what was then called "the Great Fire of $780,
The New York Post remarks that this curious
coincidence seems entirely to have escaped the
California journalists.
