! By the arrival of the steamship Orizaba we
have dates from Vera Cruz to the 2lst, and the
| City of Mexico to the 18th inst
General Santa Anna arrived at the capital on
the 10th inst from the campaign Of the South
The Mexican journals state that a battle had
occurred between Santa Anna and Alvarez at
| the pass of Peregrino, in which the latter had
been defeated with great loss. But little conf
| dence, however, is to be given to the Mexican
papers, as they are not allowed to publish any
| thing which may work against the Government
They do not state the day on which the battle
occurred, or give any of the details which should
| follow great victory. We attach little credit
to this report According to the dispatches, Al
varez, though defeated, is still in possession Of
Guerrero. Santa Anna was received at Mexico
| with every demonstration Of joy Many of the
other cities had Joined in these rejoicings and
| had sent in their fluctuations on his happy re-
i turn.
| A conspiracy was detected in the fort of San
Juan de Ulua, headed by two sergeants, who got
up pronuncianiento on their own account, to
facilitate the fight of Gen. Avalos, who is con-
fined there. The plot having been discovered,
Manuel Gonzalez, one of the sergeants, was con-
demned to death by court martial and shot on
the 11th.
Three criminals, who had been condemned to
death, and who were to have been executed on
the l4th, were pardoned as a token of gratitude
for the happy return of the President from the
Southern campaign
The Mexican steamer Of war Iturbide arrived
at Vera Cruz from New Orleans on the 18th
inst, having made the voyage in eighty hours
She took out the first information of the passage
of the Gadsden treaty.
The earthquake on the 9Th inst, to which we
alluded in our last summary of news from Mex
leo, was also felt slightly at Jalapa. The town
Of 0ajaca suffered most, several edifees being
badly injured.
The Trait d Union has been fined $500, and
the numbers Of that paper Of the 18th seized,
for having published an item of Mexican news
displeasing to the Government
MIME sontag's opera troupe continued to draw
immense houses in Mexico, and the performances
met with the greatest success
General Woll has transferred the Govern
ment of Tamaulipas to Camargo, under orders
from Mexico.
There was to be grand representation at the
Theatre of Santa Anna, on the 18th inst, in
honor of the return of the President, on which
occasion was to be sung, for the first time in
public, the new National Hymn, the words of
which are by ST.. Gonzalez Boeanegra, and the
music by Sr. Bottesini
There was considerable vomita among the
troops at Vera Cruz, though little among the
citizens.
Several women, wives of the reyolutionists,
have been arrested and imprisoned, and other
women have fed and are concealed from the
police, who arein hot pursuit Of them for politi-
cal offences.

IMPORTANT JAIL DELIvERY.-Y Yesterday Judge
Beecher and his companion in bondage were lib
Grated from confinement, the vengeance of Cot
ton being satiated. A large coneourse of the
friends Of the Judge, from the Fourth District,
as well as other parts Of the city, stood at the
gates, anxiously awaiting the exit of the Gull
prit. When he did come forth to the light of
day, shout went up to heaven like the sound
Of many waters. His friends had provided a
band Of music, and after making circuit of
the Sixth District Court, the procession pro-
ceeded to escort the Judge to the house of his
family in the Fourth District.
We are happy to state that during the whole
period Of his incarceration, the friends Of Judge
d. were not backward in their sympathies or
visitations. Not day passed that he was not
made sensible of public opinion in reference to
his tpretched condition; yet still the Judge
bore it all with Christian resignation and heroic
fortitude, though
Keen were his pangs but keener far to feel

The -NorHINGs. - There seems to be
some trouble among the members of this asso-
citation, growing out of the fact that they know
something. An anonymous letter was addressed
to a Catholic clergyman of New York, which
found its way into the papers, and nightly
stirred the members of the order. The writer
proposed, for the sum of $4,000 to expose all
the secret operations and ceremonies and the
objects Of the institution. Suspicion fell upon
an officer of the organization, who had in his
possession all the private books and papers To
gam possession of these, certain men effected d
forcloie entrance into this mans office, broke
open his trunks and bore off the booty. He has
caused their arrest, and the whole affair will
be investigated BY the police. Considerable in
terest is felt among the New Workers as to the
issue of the affair

Mr., Thos. L. White, bookseller, No 105 Canal
street, has laid upon our table work just pub
lshed by Dewitt s Davenport of New York, by
John BARGE Dods, entitled esprit Manifesto
tions Examined and Explained" This work
consists Of series Of lectures delivered by the
author in 1851, and in our mind one Of the most
thorough refutations of the spiritual theory we
have ever read. IT will doubtless do much to
arrest the spread of this fatal delusion.
We have also received, from Mr.. White, q
novel entitled "The Monks Revenge" by Sam.

THE GOLD FIELDS OF SOUTHERN AFRICA.-The
alleged discovery of extensive gold fields in
Southern Africa is producing its usual effects
on the Cape Colony; and rush has been at
once made to the mines. The Cape Town Mail
of March is says:
Letters from Burghersdorp, from respectable
parties, remove all doubts respecting the dis
covery of gold and copper deposits near Smith
field. One letter, dated March 10, saws: "Gold
is now found in large nuggets We have some
splendid specimens here that have been dug up
in the past two days. Copper mixed with Sold
is found in abundance on another farm The
extent of country, or rather the two extreme
points at which gold has been found, is at least
five hundred miles, the whole of which, it is
supposed, will be found auriferous The whole
of this immense tract Of country is almost un-
known, with the exception of a small strip The
gold in some places is found in the centre of
ridge of iron stone (Which has evidently been
thrown up by volcanic aotion) in q vein of
quartz The upper part of the vein is small,
which gradually widens as the shaft is sunk
The copper is found on the surface in sswagon
loads, and contains considerable per centage
OF gold The British Government has just with
drawn from any further control over the region
Of country where this gold is found, and Pro
ylncial government has been established, with
j., Hoffman as President. The Cape Town
eolonists, since the gold excitement, wish
England to re-annex the territory to her do
mimons, on the ground that the establishment
OF a republic will only lead to bloody border
WARFARE with bad results to both parties.

The American whale ship Hudson, Capt
Cliff, seized at the Falkland Islands lately, by
a British man-of-war, on the charge that the
crew had killed several wild hogs on one of the
Islands, against which there was a special pro-

had been placed on the island by Capt, Gilt
some time previous, and this was shown on
trial; nevertheless, he was fined $3.50, which

BABY Snow IN CANADA.-A correspondent of
the Burlington Free Press gives an amusing
account of q baby show in Bytown, Canada
on the I'd inst. The prizes were $50 each to
the three largest, latest and handsomest
babies in the town of March There were but
two babies presented, one 16 and the other II
months old, each of whom received q prize.
After some appropriate speeches by the judges,
one of the lucky mothers made the announce
ment that g she should have another baby to
show at the same time and place next year, if
there was premium to be given,'' which caused
rounds of applause

are called to part with dear and beloved COM
panion. Inspire them with the power of the
Holy Ghost, and wisdom to bear with patience
and resignation the trials they were called to
encounter, and to live in such manner as to

DEGENERAcY OF THE FIRST FAMILIES OF VIR-
GINLA.-A Rev, Charles Brookes submitted
paper to the American Statistical Association
upon the effect of intermarriage between blood
relations. In the course of it he stated i" some
of the first families of Virginia have degene-
rated to painful extent, on account of the
repeated intermarriages of the members, in their
attempts to keep the property in the family
Some of the best blood has thus so degenerated
that those who now represent it are dwarfs in

A SLIP.--Holford, the American who amassed
an immense fortune by banking in London, and
who died a week since, was reported to have
willed all his property, worth $780, 900, mostly
in American stocks and real estate in New
York, to the Prince of Wales, Queen Victoria's
Oldest son, and the future British King 1t
seems to have been mistake. The London Illus

Mr.. Il, g will, making the above bequest to the
young Prince, was fully prepared, but he died
before he was able to sign it! That sends his

At shout four o'clock this afternoon, let all
persons who may desire to see spectacle which,
although not nnaccountable or wonderful, will
be grand and awe.inspiring, congregate upon
the house tops or other elevated positions of OBJ.
rlining Sun. Within few minutes of the time
we have mentioned, if the day be clear, q dark
round object will appear to be gathering upon
the Western limb of the Sun, and in little less
than two hours will sweep across and disappear
from the Eastern limb, obscuring q considerable
section Of his disc and of course producing what
we may call sort of artificial night This viii
be, the lunar orb passing between us and thu
Sun and intercepting a portion of his rays-i1
other words, standing in our light Should the
sky at the time be covered with clouds, the pro-
cess noted above will, of course, not be visible,
but in that event gloom, like the peculiar APP
proach of night upon the wide prairies or the
ocean, will settle suddenly over the land.
New Orleans will be situated in the penumbra
Of the Moons shadow, and therefore the eclipse
here will be partial. hut it will be actually an
nular in Vancouver's Island, a portion of the
Territories of Washington and Minnesota, in
portion of Canada West, of the States of Michi-
gan, New York, and the New England States,
presenting the appearance, to observers situated
at those points, of a dark globe in the heavens
surrounded BY ring of fire. The part Of the
central eclipse first touches in the North Pacific
Ocean, near the Caroline Islands, and, taking
northeasterly direction, reaches our continent
near Cape Flattery, in Washington Territory
1t passes to the Atlantic Ocean in the line indi-
Gated above, the southern penumbra extending as
far as some Of the Southern States of Mexico, and
leaves the Earth at about latitude Sc degrees,
longitude 81, after duration of nearly four
tion not more than four minutes at any one
place.
The occurrence of an annular eclipse at any
particular place is very rare, and total eclipse
of the Sun never takes place unless the Moon at
the time be sufficiently near the earth to pre-
sent an apparent disc Of greater diameter than
that Of the Sun
In olden times an eclipse of the Sun or Moon
was not looked upon with less terror than was
the appearance in the skies of the flaming comet,
the dread harbinger of pestilence or war.
Armies have thrown down their weapons and
fed the approaching battle as the mysterious
darkness at monday began to creep through
the skies and settle like pail upon the world;
and nations have Frustrated themselves in the
dust, under the fearful apprehension that the
end OF all things was at hand. Now, however,
1t will be looked upon as sort Of business tran.
saction between the three planets, with which

: FBIGHTFUL Loss OF LIFE IN ENGLISH MINES
From statement in the London Times we
ascertain that ssabout one thousand persons
are killed annually in the mines of this coun-
try" (England.) This is fearful statement
when it is recolleeted that the total amount of
deaths in the British squadrons on the African
station, for twenty one years, was 1888, out of
20,604; so that one year and a half in the Eng
igh mines destroys more lives than the casual
ties Of sea service and the climate of Africa
has done in twenty-one years
