MExICo-The New Orleans PicGyame has receiv-
ed papers from the city of Mexico, which contain
rumors, if well founded, of considerable Importance
We have already given the substance in our dis
patches, but the Importance of the subject demands
amore detailed account than they furnish
They state that the Caroline which sailed some
time since from California had arrived at La Paz,
with number of men from San Francisco, who
had taken possession of the city. This rumor
seemed to have been based upon private letters re-
ceived at Mexico, stating that the Caroline had
touched at La Paz, landing forty there and ia
king the commsndant, Sr. Rebolledo, prisoner
that the Mexicans solicited aid from English frig
ate cruising in the neighborhood, and that she had
accordingly set sail for La Paz.
A letter to a commercial house in the capital, da
ted Mazatan, November 4th, says that the bark
Caroline was seen on the 3lst of October, sailing I'M
der the Mexcaniag, with some $50 or 200 men on
board, near Cape St. Lucas that they had there
seized some provisions without paying for them,
and that it was supposed they would stop at La Paz
for the purpose of reyolutonizng Lower Cali
lornia.
The Pcal1He thinks thinks there is some truth in
the reports but doubts the correctness Of the de-
tails The same paper has seen a private letter,
from source for which it vouches stating positive
" that Santa Anna would assume the title of En-
peror on the 18th inst That paper believes the
statement At last accounts, the Dictator was
busily engaged in distributing orders, decorations
and medals

BAYNE's VOYAGE TO EUROPE.

This celebrated panorama viii open at Odd Eel
lows Hall on Tuesday next We have seen so
many notices of this painting that we look for its
opening here with as much impotence as some Of
the smaller children. We copy the following from
the many notices before us:
BNNF's EURoPE-We visited, last evening,
Bayne's Panorama at Wentworth's Hall, and we as
sure our friends that we have not had richer treat
for many year. We have heard much said about
this master piece ofart but what have heard has
not given US the antest idea of the design Of the
painting The effect from The starting point is good
And one almost feels, after returning home that he
has been wandering away among the icebergs of the
Atlantic-the docks of Liverpool-the towers of
London, and the castles of the Rhine. We beseech
Of all not to allow this painting to leave Lowell be-
fore they visit it. Setting aside the painting the
historical explanations given in the course of the
evening, are richly worth the time and money spent

FRIDAY MORNING, DEC. %, 1853.
SUPPER TO TIE PLAYERS.


On Wednesday evening, NJ. w. WETNoRE, Esq,
rendered an invitation to the company of the Ade-
phi Theatre to partake Of supper at the Nashville
Inn, prepared in Dr. ScoTTs very best style The
entertainment, however was not exclusive, and
there were many of citizens present on the oe-
casion. The venerable statesman and ilustrious
patriot, Gen. SAM HoUsroN was also there, looking
remarkably well, though perhaps, more grave than
we have seen him in former times The party
Toasted most sumptuousiy on the good things spread
before them-and the generous sentiment, sparkling
wit and apt repartee, which passed around the
Festive board would have animated the coolest heart
Mr.. WErNoRE having proposed the health of
Manager GREENE, that gentleman responded briefly
IN his usual terse and forcible manner. The eompa-
ny having drank to the memory of FAYNIS, CRock-
ETT, and their compatriots, who fell at the Alamo,
Gen. HousToE rose, and, IN style which touched
every heart paid glorious tribute to the ashes of
the brave and illustrious dead The General also
spoke feeingly of the changes which had been
wrought since he had quilted Tennessee-of old
faces passing away and new ones taking their
place. Here, said he, where at every step Il was
once greeted with the smile of recognition appear
as stranger in strange landl-and concluded
with,
81 seem Ike who treads alone, Or
sicI Some banquet hall deserted;
Whose lights are fed whose garlsuds dead,
And all but he departed"
He took his seat evidently laboring under deep
emotion
Excellent speeches were made by Messrs. NEAFIR,
Vance, GRIERsoN, G. w. Johnson, WETMoRE G. Y
JOHNSTON, Capt. HARRISON, Maj. HERMAN and Others
which, time and SPACE will only permit us to say
were enlivening, sound, and to the point Alto
gether the entertainment was, indeed, an. |

LAMARTINEs MARRIAGE The story Of themar-
rage of Lamartine is one Of romantic interest The
LADY, whose maiden name was Birch, was possessed
of considerable property, and when past the bloom
OF YOUTH she became passionately enamored of
the poet from the perusl of his ''Meditations."
For some time she had nursed this sentiment in Sc
cret and being apprsed of the embarrassed state OF
his affairs, wrote to him, rendering him the bulk of
her fortune Touched with this remarkable proof
of her generosity, and supposiug it could only be
caused by spreierence for himself he at once made
an offer of his hand and heart He judged rightly,
and the poet was promptly accepted

ATTAKED BY TIGER.--On Saturday evening Mr.
Drlesbach the lion king, while exhibiting his feats
IN the den which contained several wild animals
at the Broadway Menagerie, was attacked by one
OF them, a large Brazilian tiger who sprang upon
him, knocked him down, and fastened his teeth in
his breast. A honess sprang to the assistance of
her master, but unfortunately struck him blow in
the chest, which she intended for the Tiger and
thus made matters worse. One ofthe keepers then
opened the door OF the cage and dragged Mr.. D.
out, He was Immediately attended by physician
who found that only flesh wounds had been inflct-
ed and those not ola dangerous character. The
audience were highly excited during the time the
scene was enacting This is the first time in two
months that the tiger has been exhibited, and it is
probable that the glare of the gas lights rendered
him confused and excited He was always looked
upon by Mr.. D. as one of his pet animals and ex-
tremey tame and docile.-NeV York Express. d.
