Loss of the Albatross-Highly I'm.
p0rtant from Mexico.
BALTIMORE. MAY 4.

The New Orleans papers OF Tuesday
and Wednesday have been received.
The steamship Albatross went aground
on Cabejas Reef on the 18Th. 10 miles
from shore and 26 miles from Vera Cruz.
The steamship Texas Immediately went to
the relief OF the Albatross, but found that
her passengers had all landed and gone
to Vera Cruz. The wreck had slipped off
the reef and was nearly out of sight. The
passengers lost all their baggage, and they
have made a protest against Capt. Greene,
to whom they attach the blame OF the
disaster.
Santa Anna arrived at the city OF Mexi-
CO on the 18th, and was received by an
illumin alton, firing of cannon and great
rejoicing. His reception along the road
from Vera Cruz to the city OF Mexico, was
most enthusiastic. Triumphal arches were
erected at the different towns. and every
where tokens of a joyful welcome greeted
him. r
The proclamation Of Gov. Lane, of New
Mexico, relative to the boundary question,
together with the reply of Gov. Trias, was
taken to the city Of Mexico in eight days
and a half. by express. These documents
have caused much excitement. Governor
Trias, in his reply to Governor Lane, takes
the ground that the Northern boundary OF
Chihuahua was formerly much farther
North than at present.; that the treaty oil
Guadalupe Hidalgo had removed it much
farther South; that even if the territory
claimed was disputed territory, it had al
ways been In %peaceable possession of Mex
leo; that it has been, time immemorial. i'll
possession of Mexico. and it is now in
habited by people who emigrated there
from New Mexico because they wished to
continue Mexican citizens in Mexican ter
ritory. He says farther, that even if some
people did wish to change the sovereignty
of the soil, they had no right TO do it, and
that so far as protection from Indians is
concerned. the Mexican has at least done
as much as the United States Government,
Gov. Trias concludes by asking Gov
Lane if he has power to declare war.
1t had been rumored in Mexico that a
body Of Mexican troops sent out by Gov
Trias. had been defeated by Col. Rema
Subsequent rumors however, contradicted
the report, and the Mexican papers state
that Judge Concklin had given the Presi'
dent assurance thatthe United States Gov
eminent would disclaim Gov. Lanes &C
tons.
In the papers published in the city o
Mexico, it is stated that Gen. Lombardin
had discounted the remaining payment.
from the T~ehuentepec Company, at the
rate Of Is per cent.
The Siglio says that Is States and :
Territories are in favor Of the Fedora
system, and that only z States appear dis
posed to adopt any other form of Govern
ment.
Gen. Wool took command of Tampice
on the 9th ultimo.
By order Of Santa Anna another rein
forcement had been sent to Matamoras.

Advance il the Price Of Beef Cat
tie.

A very material advance in the prices
of beef cattle has recently taken place in
this market, referable, we find. on inquiry.
not so much to a growing scarcity in those
sections of the country whence come our
supplies, nor to an increased consumption
at home but to the sprining up of new and
inviting markets elsewhere. Let us ex-
plain.
The graziers in the northern Illinois re-
gion, who have heretofore been among the
most extensive. contributors to the great
cattle markets Of New York. Philadelphia.
Baltimore and Boston, we are told, now
drive their herds across the plains to sup
ply the demand which invites them to Cal
%ifornia. 1t is a long and weary journey,
to our vision, it is true, but the pasturage
is good all the way, and when the drovers
arrive at their destination, prices are re-
allied which the markets on the Atlantic
never could afford to pay. We are also
assured that the cattle dealers of Ohio are
turning their attention in the same direc-
ton, and instances have even como to our
knowledge Of large droves having been re-
called from their journey to New York to
be sent across the plains. Hence just now
the comparative scarcity OF cattle in this
market, which produces in turn the high
prices asked for beef at wholesale-say
from 9 to 1O4 cents per pound. At these
rates the retail consumer must be content
with Is or 16 cents, or ereabouts. Beef
is thus becoming a luxury which only the
rich man is able to enjoy.-N. Y. Er.
LEAHEY CoNvIcTED.-The famous "re-
formed Monk Of La Trappe." Leahey.
who has been on trial for some days past
in Columbiana county, Wisconsin. for the
murder of Marley, has been convicted OF
murder in the first degree, and sentenced
to imprisonment for life. Francis Viii
ting testified that he saw the prisoner fire
three shots, one at the deceased, which
caused his death, and two others at Abram
Morton. The pistol was a revolver, and
two charges were left in it. Leahey stated
to the witness that the murder was just,
and that the Lord told him to do it. Man
ley lived about forty-fve minutes after the
shot. The testimony was conclusive as to
the fact that Manly was shot by Leahey
for alleged adultery with the wife of the
Halter.

Railroad Accident.

The operator at Marietta, Ohio, has
kindly furnished US with the following par
ticulars Of the late terrible railroad acci.
dent at Norwalk, Conn:
The morning train from New York to
New Haven ran offths drawbridge at Nor
walk on Friday morning last. The loco
motive, baggage car and two passenger
cars were submerged fifteen feet deep in
the water. About 80 lives lost-5l bodies
have been recovered-supposed to be 10
or more yet in the cars-18 are 30 badly
mangled that they canno recover, and
many others injured. The employees es-
capped as usual. The signals were display
ed at the bridge to stop the train. but it was
not done. The accident is entirely the
result of the recklessness Of the engineers.
Walter French, Esq, Of the firm of
French, Dodge & Co, contractors for 20
miles Of the Marietta and Cincinnati Rail-
road, was one of the victims Of this acci-
dent. He left Marietta on Tuesday last
on a visit to New Hampshire-his home.
Three other persons from Marietta are
supposed to nave been on the same train,
but no news ofthem yet.

country for the restoration Of his health.
He Is native of South Carolina, and h.v.

work IF missions in Africa, where he has
labored most successfully many wears.
His wife, native Of Georgia, ladv of
Ugh intelligence and accomplishments,
has shared all his labors. Both were
members Of wealthy families, both were
born shareholders. They gave their slaves
their freedom, and themselves to the ne.
gro race. When we learn that anr of
the abolitionists OF the North have made
equal sacrifices for the sake of the negro
race, we shall be glad to chronicle the
fact

John sat at his Office one morning, rack
