corporation into the United States as the only
panacea for the perplexities and sutferings Of
Mexico, For ourselves, we look upon it merely
as question of time, and believe that Santa
Anna is destined to shorten the interval.
Our reporter uuiutentonally did our worthy
fellow citizen, Bernard Wheelehan, injustice in
his report of the Assistant Board of Aldermen $
sitting of Tuesday night. We have seen Mr.
Wheelehan, and are satisfied with his explana.
ton of his vote. The report having been laid on
his table, he, without examination, signed it,
not dreaming that it referred to a matter which
he strenuously opposed in committee
We might be surprised, but never would at
tribute any improper motive to any act of Mr.
Wheelehan.

made no appropriation for the defence of the

as a national measure.

The beginning of the end is thus common
cling to show itself-and under the very noses
of some who are most confident of the extinction
of the wing party. The wing party has already
proved itself to be in very healthy and sound
condition. We have no belief in the death or de-
blity of the organization. All we fear is that by
supincness and want of energy possible victories
may be lost and rebound to the announcement
of the enemy, New Haven is only one city to
be sure, but it has done its duty and if other
cities and other towns will do theirs we shall
roll up long list Of victories during the fall.
In little more than two months from now some
very important battles must be fought Will

The WAR QUEsTIoN--fmportdnt Increment
We understand that General Mansfield, Inspec-
tor General of the Army, has been ordered TO II
visit OF reconnaissance of the Mesilla or disputed
territory between Mexico ana the United States
Viewed in any light this is an important move
ment but, taken in connection with the late
oflclal pronunciamiento of the administration
it has lively odor of &c villainous saltpetre.
A war with Mexico now, will be much easier to
get intos on both sides, than any satisfactory
schedule Of peaceful and bona tide negotiations |
Let Wall street consider the question, and count
up the apparently inevitable contingencies Of
8 human destiny" and then answer us, if it |
can, is there no danger of war What becomes
OF Cuba IN the event of another war with Mex.

temptation to 4 rupture with Santa Anna
J es, yes, there IS prospect of war. Herald |

The extraordinary speed of the Collins Ii OF

IL IS a remarkable fact, in illustration of the |
speed of the Collins line of steamers that by the
last trip of the Pacific to Liverpool, merchants
IN that city received replies from their CORES.

which arrived in this port on the morning of the
l4th OF May, made the trip in nine days and |
twenty-five hours, and some of the commercial
ldvices which she brought were answered by
houses here in time for the Pacific's
mails, which left at noon of the same day. and
which made the trip to Liverpool in nine DAYS
and twenty three hours. These two passages
hitherward and back, having only consumed
together nineteen days and twenty-one hours,
in Liverpool were, as we have said,
enabled to receive replies to their New Yorl, |
correspondence in twenty days We believe an
instance of this kind has never occurred in the
