/ TH. COMPROMISE IN New YoRK.-A resolution Of
fered by Mr.. VAkNUM, of the New York House
of Assembly, instructng the Judiciary Committee to
report upon the various compromise resolutions referred
to that comm ittse laid upon the table by vote of
fifty five to fortyseven. Several distinct series of Yeso
utions, some in favor of the compromise measures OF
the last session ofCongress and adverse to them
had been referred the Judiciary Committees and the
object of Mr. VARNuMs motion was to elicit report
from that committee without any directions as to the
tenor of it. The refusal ofthe House to sustain this
motion is thus alluded to by the Express of Monday
evening:
We regret this course showing, as it does, pract-
cal unwingnsss 10 stand by the Compromise Measurss
and, what is as important, fear the part of the
members to commit themselves to expression of SEN
tment demanded alike by the voice of the people and
the false position in which, through previous expressions
of legislative opinion, New York stands before the
cosnry We marvel that brave men should thus seek
It'll certain that the legislation of the State is to be in
terruped until the resolutions brought from their
hiding place. Why not, then, bring up the question
promptly, msetit fairly, and agree either to sustain
condemn the compromise Measures Ii the resolutions
OF Messrs Coffin, Underwood, and Horton are the de-
lberate sentiment eft the State suppose they

resolve II, upon the contrary, Messrs. Varnum, An

New ORLEANS, Oct. 30.-By an arrival to-day
we have received advices from the Rio Grande
to the 23d instant, bringing the latest intelli-
gence from the seat of war in Northern Mexico.
The revolution was progressing with increased
prospects of success. A small body of troops,
composing the advance-guard of the reyolu-
tionists, had succeeded in penetrating into the
city of Matamoros. Several skirmishes ensued,
which ended in a sharp but brief engagement,
in which the revolutionists were compelled to
retire with the loss of three men. A considera-
BILE number on the side of the Mexicans were
killed Another large body of American troops
stationed on the Rio Grande have deserted and
Joined the revolutionary party. Orders have
been forwarded to the department at Washing
ton from this city for more troops to garrison
the different posts on the Rio Grande.
New YORK, Oct. 30.-A heavy dry-goods
house, on Market street, the name of which

We have had copious rain tonight, accom-
panied with wind and lightning.
The splendid mansion of the Hon. Silas M.
Burroughs, at Medina, was destroyed by fire
this morning. The loss is about SOL 900, which
is m ostly covered by insurance.
