Of anv interest arose in ethics. In that Of the Alder
men, il was, ON the motion Of Mr.. Alvord (whig),
unanimously resolved that the President be requested
to direct the Alderman Of the Eleventh (Mr. Wesley
Smth) to resume his part in their proceedings Their
question of rebuilding Washington Market, which
had been dropped by reason Of decision in the Su-
peror Court that it had been before passed illegally,
was taken up and again referred to the Market Com
mittee. The report Of the Almshouse Committee, in
favor of applying for power to raise loan Of S75 600
was also taken from the table and passed A large
number of routine papers were referred and the
Board adjourn ed till Wednesday evening.
By the report of the Committee of Assistant Al
dermen appointed TO investigate the charges OF cor
ruptioa against members or the Common Council,
il appears that, in the opinion of Mr.. Dillon, the
CORPORATION Counsel concurred in by Mr. Brady, the
Board has no power to subpoena witnesses, admins
ter an oath, or send for papers, without rendering
itself liable to an action for misdemeanor Their in
quiry is, therefore, suspended until the charter is
amended by the Legislature.
The ladies' shoemakers assembled last evening at
Keene's Fourteenth Ward Hotel corner Of Grand and
Elizabeth streets for the purpose Of raising Che pre-
sent standard Of wages. Mr.. James Dooley was
called to the chair and after some discussion rate
OF wages was agreed upon, and committee appoint
ed to have the document printed and circulated
among the various employers Of the metropolis and
report to the meeting which stands adjourned until
Monday next. Nothing like leather
An adjourned meeting Of the coopers, for the pur-
pose Of taking active measures for strike, was held
last evening in Chatham square. The reports for
raising the rate of wages from fourteen to sixteen
shillings aday were stated and after some discus
sion, sixteen shillings was determined to be de-
handed The chairman handed us letter from the
city editor Of the Daily Times, requesting him to
furnish that journal with report Of the proceedings

certain debts; and, II We remember rightly, We
suggested then that these proceedings probably
contemplated the restoration of SAINTS Anna to
power, under the protection Of France and Spain,
and perhaps of England, combined Now, when
it is considered that, since these proceedings,
Santa Anna has returned to Mexico, and with
the full endorsement of the Spanish government
paper of Havana. and in such unequivocal
terms that their meaning cannot well be
doubted, we repeat that his restoration
in authority is matter which calls
for the most vigilant watchfulness on the
part of our government. When it is fur
Their considered that the marriage Of the EN-
peror Louis Napoleon with the Spanish
Countess of Teba may be equivalent to a treaty
of alliance. offensive and defensive, between
France and Spain, another item Of circum-
stantial evidence is added to the strong chain
Of fact and argument suggestive Of the trans
formation of Mexico into a viceroyalty Of
Spain, under her protection, and of her impe-
rial ally, Louis Napoleon.
Is it not natural that these governments, as
the means of arresting the further extension Of
this republic southwark and as measure for
the protection of the sovereignty Of Spain in the
Island of Cuba-is it not quite natural that they
should sieze upon this crisis in Mexico, and
turn it to their best advantage, If they can?
Is it not quite possible that the agents Of Spain
and France-and England too-may have been
at the bottom of this late Mexican revolution,
for the very purpose Of securing the Mexican
republic from absorption, the Church from
Anglo-Saxon innovations, and the race from
extinction, by their northern neighbors, as well
as for the purpose of thwarting any similar de-
signs which we may be supposed to have
against the Island of Cuba? In word, may
it not be that Santa Anna returns to
power as the instrument of Spain and France,
in the enterprise of new revolution which, by
replanting the Spanish authority in Mexico,
places the barrier of European Intervention
against any further advances on our part in
that direction, and thus blocks the game upon
us of manifest destiny.
We think. at all events, from the broad and
reasonable views we have herein presented,
Of the momentous position Of Mexico, that
the question of the Tehudntepec treaty is
altogether triAing affair, until we shall have
fully developed the great national objects and
policy of Santa Anna, and his agents and allies,
in his restoration to the dictatorship. We shall
soon know the drift of the wind. Meantime, it
might not be amiss in our cabinet to turn their
attention for moment to the mysteries of this
crisis in Mexican affairs. For good or for evil,
for us or against US, they are Of the highest
importance

THE BOURBON QUESTION COMING TO POINT.
1t is said that letter has been received, by
one of the parties engaged in the settlement Of
the claims of the Rev. Eleazer Williams to the
throne of France, as the son of Louis XVI from
lady at New Orleans, who states that she is
the person to whom Belanger made his dying
declaration in regard to the Dauphin. She is
we'll known to DR.. Hawkes., having been MEM
Der of his church when he was settled in New
Orleans. She states that she has in her posses
sion trunk full Of documents relating to this
question, Communications from the royal family,
&C., which sets the matter entirely at rest, and
groves the Rev. Mr.. Williams to be the Dauphin
beyond cavil. An agent has been sent to New
Orleans to obtain possession of the documents.
We obtained this information, several days
ago, from gentleman connected with this in
vestigation. If these things are SO, and Mr..
Williams, the reputed half breed Indian. turns
out to be the rightful heir of the Bourbons,
there will be job of work to be settled by the
Holy Alliance. But let us first have the
papers.

Office. am, respectfully, your obdt. servant,

who would not view with Indifference the de-
struction of the liberties of the Gallican church.
Louis Napoleon owes much to the clergy. If
by undoing the wise work of Louis XIV. and
Napoleon l., he reinstates the Vatican in
its medieval authority. he may find that he
has alienated one section of the priesthood from
his side. and reduced the other to the condition
of helpless, damaging allies He has escaped
many dangers this one threatens him yet.
1t is far more formidable than the recent
quasi coalition between the Bourbon and Dor
leans pretenders. To some of our readers it
may be news to state that there is an amiable
lame gentleman wandering over the continent,
who calls himself Henry ". and claims to sit
on the throne Of his ancestors the Bourbons
He has seen his sceptre swayed in turn by Louis
Philippe, the republic, and Louis Napoleon;
and though he has confined his efforts to writ
ing pathetic notes to the newspapers, he has
never lost heart. Similarly situated is the Duo
de Nemours, the eldest of Louis Philippes sur
viving sons Both are bankrupt in hopes; nei-
Their has the smallest shadow of claim on the
French people, or the slightest chance of attain
ing the object Of his aspirations. What more
natural than that they should enter into part

cruel to exclude him from the partnership. Let

poleon III. is driven from Paris, and the
French people are on their knees before their
three lawful sovereigns. it would be an affecting
and an edifying spectacle for the rivals to draw
lots for the kingdom, and let the destinies Of
France depend on throw of the dice.

Vice President King.

A Washing correspondent says that he
has conversed with friend who spent
last Saturday week with Hon. VIM. R.
King, at the plantation of Shorntrall,
near Mantanzes, Island of Cuba. Col.
King, he represents, to be deplorably ema-
ciated, and entertains no hope of recover
ing his health He visits the sugar house
on the estate daily, where the boiling Op-
Grafton is going on. His friends think
the steam from the sugar kettle proves
serviceable, but he is skeptical. He has
a horror of dying in foreign land, and
expects to leave in the U. S. Steamship
Fulton, about the 1st of April, for Mo
bile. His neices, Mrs. Ellis and Miss King,
and nephew Mr.. Beck, are with him.
The proprietor of the estate is French
man by birth, and is most kind hospi-
table and refined old gentleman. The
Vice President has no appetite, and lives
upon buttermilk.
pgThe administration of the oath of
office to Vice President KING, in Cuba,
as detailed by letter writer recently,
turns out to have been pure fabrication

The isms of the day have made the

ly Locofoco as Ohio. The election which
took place on Monday, resulted in the
success of the entire Locofoco State tick

Congress, and Locofoco State LegisIa-

They were carted to Monument Square,

The entire mass of combustible material
was soon in a blaze, and several hours
elapsed before the condagration was COM
