FRoM MExIco.--The Picayune has re-
ceived late advces from Mexico. 1t appears
that new and important proposals have been
received in regard to theTehuantepec route,
which, it is thought, may be looked upon
with favor. The nature of the propositions
is not stated.
Animportunt change has occurred in the
Mexican Cabinet, which is looked upon as
more favorable to the stability of the gov
ernment.
The National Guard at Vera Cruz is to be
placed under the command and at the pro-
posal of the Minister of War. This move
ment is made with view to harmonize the
disaffected, and, it is believed, will be more
acceptable to the people.
All fears ofa revolution in Mexico have
subsided, and the generalstate of feeling is
much more pacific and hopeful.
The Council and Government have de-
cided emphatically against calling an extra
session Of Congress.
The general tenor of the advices from
Mexico is of decidedly more favorable
character.

THE DUKE OF WELLINGToN.-The late
Duke of Wellington held an immense in
come during life. AS Commander-in-chie
the Duke was entitled to draw something
over eighty dollars a day, or about $4,000
annually and as Colonel of the Grenadier
Guards, he was entitled to nearly $4,000
year more. He drew pension Of nearly
800 900 annually, and was in possession OF
property given him by the British nation, to
the amount of E700,000, or nearly $3,500,-
900. The pension will continue to be
paid to the Dukes two next male heirs,
who also inherits his large estates and IT,
ties; but most of his Offices and emolu-
ments are to be scrambled for by the mo-
blity and others; and rich prizes they will
be for the disposal of the ministry.
The new Duke, at the time OF his faith
er's death, was at Frankfort, whence bewas
sommoned. IIe has hitherto borne the til
tie of Marquis of Douro, and until the last e.
lection he enjoyed a scat in the House OF
Commons as member for Norwich. He ls

although not striking, resemblance to his"
father. He has never taken any promin-
cnt part in public affairs, nor is he likely to
do 50. The Dukes second son, Lord Charles
Wellesley, was with him at the time of his
death. He is "A years Of age and has
SET + ..h,.c House Of Commons as mcm-
Der from South Hampshire.
The late Dukes personal habits were
extremely temperate, if not abstemious.-
He slept little, and, whether from old mill
tary associations or for health's sake, used
heard mattress and camp bed. He appear
ed to avoid display in his dress, equipuge
and attendants, preierring horse exercise to
the ate and luxury UT Il carfiages and even
when increasing weakness rendered it a
5taskoe some difficulty to sit erect Upon
horseback, day sitter day he was still to be
seen ambHng slowly down to the House of
Lords, touching his hat to the crowds assem-
bled round the entrance to catch glimpse
Of the veteran warrior.

good order and good management. He in

his last glorious field, were the only ex-

On these occasions only, the massive servi-
ces of plate and priceless china, pictures,
statues and all the other favors, hORoTs and
presents which had been conferred upon
him by the soVereigns Of Europe, were not
appropriately displayed.

A SINGULAR FACT FOR THESE DAYS OF Lo-
coMorIoN.-Mr Polly Hemingway, who died
in Northbridge, Mass, on the 3Oth ult at
the age of eighty-three, had never been but
fifteen miles from the place Of her birth
She was born in Uxbridge, and once in her
youth went to Worcester, fifteen miles from
her home.

mortified and ashamed that he should have
received such treatment. The whole mat
ter Of the court as every one knows, proved
to be a magnificent farce, and finally drop
ped-as ifthe only object Of its instigators
had been to degrade Scott upon the very
thester Of his glorious renown..
And now the scene changes again.
On the morning ofthe 22d Of April it be-
came known to some few that Gen. Scott
was about to leave the capital Of Mexico for
his home. In the evening of that day large
assemblnge of the friends of the gallant
hero collected In front of his quarters in the
city of Mexico, and babe him farewell by
grand serenade. Several very appropriate
and touching airs were played and at the
close of the very spirit-stirring SOUNDS oil
"Hail to the Chief" the commanding form
of the general was seen to come to the 'front.'
of the balcony, from whence he bowed MS
thanks, silently, it is true, but the ieellhgs
of many bounding and warm heart re-
snonded, and three loud and hearty cheers
were given for General Scott, as he disap-
peared from the window,
The next morning there was an affecting
scene in front of his quarters, as he came
out to start upon his journey to Vera CRUZ
The Rifle Guard was drawn up to receive
him and as he passed they presented arms TO
their beloved commander for the last tlme'
and shed tears like children; and so affect
ed was the old Hero that he could hardly
get into his carriage. Officers and men
crowded around him, and as.he was too much
overcome to receive them all, those who had
not the happiness Of shaking him by the
hand were glad to get q sight OF him as he
departed. Those who had not even chance
of seeing him mounted their horses and iol-
lowed him on the road, determined that he
who had led them from victory to victory
should not leave the valley of his great op'
erations without one adieu. Around his
carriage-for he was too much exhausted by
his heavy abors, and the emotion OF part
ing with his brothers in arms, to ride or
horseback-as it proceeded along the cause
wav to Ell Penon, the officers crowded, ant
as fast as one could give the "God bless you
General" and fall back, his lace was sup
Piled by another, and so the adieus continu
ed for long way on the road.
And thus did Winfield Scott leave Mexico
going. virtually, prisoner from the cap
: pital which but few months before he haI
entered as a triumphant conqueror! VIII
not the people bear this fact in mind, nov
that they have an opportunity of bestowInj
|, their loftcst honors upon one who has re
hected such lofty honor and renown upol
their country!

DIsGRAcEFUL-The American Flag Torn
Do,cn.-A New Hampshire spirit, as pro-
scriptivo as that which in New Hampshire,
DISTINGUISHES Catholic voters, took possess

been an exclusive one the case would ap-
pear different; but it was our Nations BAN

should have protected it from insult. When
party violence RACES so as to cause acts OF
this disgru ucefl character, it is time for sober
thinking people to consider the tendency OF
such events. The American Flag, wherev-
er it floats, is the ensign Of Freedom. Our
party had planted il OH their OWN territory
over their own bailding, and they supposed
as they had right to suppose. when doing
so, that American citizens would respect it.

which all parties had a common property
and that 40 mere party feeling could induce
any man W men to lay violent hands upon it

The CAUSE OF WELLIE5roN's DEATH -
It has been stated that the Duke Of Well
ington died of an apoplectic fit. The i'm
mediate cause of this attack appears to have
been an over-indulgence in venison steaks.
The London Times says that the day pre-
vious TO his death the Duke exhibited his
usual bodily activity. He took his custom
ary walk in the grounds attached to the Cas-
tie, inspected the It ,bles, made many min
ute inquiries there, and gave directions
with referancc TO n journey to Dover on the
following day. Hisappetite was observed
to b. keener than usuSl, and he dined heart
ily of venison. The next day, when his
valet wet to waken him he refused to rise
