From Hexico

BY way Of Panama, Aspinwall AMI Ha-
vana. we have intelligence from Acapulco
to the 22l ult. Under that date our cor
respondent furnishes Us with the following
Capt. ii. Stocker. an American ciii-
zen and bearer Of dispatches from the
United States Legation in Mexico to
Charles l.. Dcnman. Esq. L. $. Consul
At this port, with his entire party, amongst
whom are some american ladies, were ar
rested by the Government, troops at Ay-
alta, and after an imprisonment Of five or
six DAYS, removed to OmOctcpec, being
still under close confinement.
Gen. Alvarez, after taking Ayatla and
destroyed the Notifications, fell back on
Providentia, owing to the appearance of
cholera.
y Government courier was caught on
the 10Th inst, hy Alvarez'S advance pick
ct, with dispatches for Gen. Palacios at
Chilpancingo, ordering the immediate
Withdrawal of all his forces, as they were
required in the capital, the intention being
not to make a second attack on Acapulco.
The State of Tamaulipas has pro-
nounced in favor of Alvarez.
From bulletin of the Liberating Ar
my, we learn that the barqr c Carolina and
schooner Guerrero were maintaining the
blockade of the port of Acapulco. Their
presence, however, is ridiculcd, amount
ing to no more than a pair of old shoes
would.
y paragraph in the Bulletin asserts that
Santa Anna has already run through the
products of the sale of the Messila Valley,
and had not more left in the treasury than
would be required to pay his army for the
month of September. Among other
draughts made upon it, is said to be one
for 100000 to repay himself $4,000,
which, it is alleged, he lent the nation in
the war of 1S47.
The flight of the Government troops
under Carlos Tcieda, from Ayatla, when
taken as above referred to by our CORES
pondcnt, is represented as having been a
rare exhibition of cowardicc. They were
900 strong, well entrcnchcd and supplied,
and capable of offering strong resistance,
but fled Immediately on learning of the
approach of Alvarez and his troops.
The Bulletin reports other successes of
Alvarez's forces at Apancingan and Para
che, taking the former by assault and in
the latter destroying the Government
troops. Many prisoners were taken, with
baggage, artillery, DC, in bith Places
The privates were released, but the officers
all shot in retaliation for alleged similar
barbaritics by Santa Annals troops.
We have nothing else of interest from
Mexico by the Empire City. The Oriza-
ba due on Tuesday morning, ought to
bring us news from the capital to the fth
inst, in few hours.

RAILROADS VS.. CANALs.-Itis is supposed
that the receipts of the New York Canals
this ycar will show falling off of over
$500, 600. This, it is said, is owing to
the increascl business ofthe competing line
of railroads. Up to the lst of September
the canals lost s202, 900, or II per cents,
the Central Road (Which runs directly
along the Eric Canal, and which is only
one of three roads, connecting the lakes
with the Hudson, which competes the Erie
Canal, J gains $500, ,554, Or 20 per cent
This is on tie f light receipts alone.

RrTHE Washington Union ofTuesda,

RSTHE Washington Unton OF Tuesday
in an article on the result of the late
elections and Know Nothingism says:
Naturalized citizens ought to see in
the immense increase of foreign emigration
within the last few years, legitimate reasons
for an earnest investigation by native citi-
zens of the probable influence of this
increase of foreign population upon our
Institutions. This is fair and legit-
innate subject for discussion and ifit shall
result in the conviction that our natural
ization laws are defective and require to
be amended and reformed, the naturalized
citizens ought neither to be surprised nor to
complain
If there is one thing about the loss o.
the Arctic, more painful to think of than
another, it is that not single lady was
saved. Strong men, able to bear priva
ton and struggle with danger, reached
the land in the boats, while the weake
sex were left to the cruel mercies of tn
ocean not even little child was saved

Remains of Sir John Franklin Found.

A dispatch from DIR. Rea. dated York
Factory. August 4th. has been received
by Sir George Simpson, Governor Of the
Hudson Bay Territory. narrating the dis
covery Of the remains Of SirJohn Frank
lin andhis unfortunate companions. They
were starved TO death in the spring Of
1850, northwest of Fox River:
The Montreal Herald Of the DIST inst,
saws:
We yesterday dispatched special mes
senger to the Hudson Bay Company's
House at La Chen, and through the kind
ness of Gov. Sir George Simpson, are
enabled to lay Jcfore our readers the fol-
lowing outlines: \ dispatch was re ,eiv-
ed yesterday from DIR. Rea. Rea has
been absent on the coast since the LIST of
June, 1888, and returned to York Facto-
nv, on the 2Sth of August last, from
whence he forwarded letters express to
Sir George Simpson, via the Red River
settlement, in which, after briefly noticing
the result of his own expedition, he pro-
ceeds to state that from the Esquimaux
Indians he obtained certain information
of Sir John Franklin and his party, who
were starved to death after the loss of
their ships, which were crushed by the
ice, while making their way to Great Fish
River or Buck, near the outlet of which
a party of whites died, leaving the ac-
counts of their suffcrings near the mutilat-
ed corses, which We're evidently furnished
for their companions.
The information, although not received
from the ESquimauX who communicated
with the whites, and who found the re-
mains, but from another band, who OBJ
tanned the details viva vocc, may be relied
on. There is no doubt left of the truth
of the report, as the natives have in their
possession various articles of European
manufacture, which had been in the pos
session of the whites; among these are
several silver spoons, forks, DC, on one
of which is engraved "Sir John Frank
lin, X. c. b., while others have crests
and initials, which identify the owners as
having belonged to the ill-fated expedi-
ton. These have been sent down. The
fearful tragedy must have occurred in tho
spring of 1850.

EF-DENTH OF Mr.. JouN CULr.-lt is
with feelings of no ordinary sorrow, that
we record the death of our esteemed

A Persian correspondent of the Now
York Tribune says:
The Arabs along the Persian Gulf have
lately been excited by Ismael Pashen of
Bustah to combine in opposition to the
Turkish Government. This Pasha received
his office from the Sultan but short time
since. In order to stop his tr2achory an
English steamer was sent down from Bagh-
dad to capture him; on its arrival at Burrah,
the Pasha was dead. The Arabs are, how
ever, determined to rob and riot.
Shcrcef Bey, the chief one Of the con-
spirators, who attempted lately to get up
an insurrection in Mosul, has confessed
that twelve mon were to be killed by them
at all hazards and that they had sworn
upon the Koran to do it. Their failure to
kill the first one shot at enabled the Con
sui and Pasha to check the progress of the
plot. Na further danger is apprchendcd.

FOREIGN News

by the Africa, Oct. -, we learn that
the BAltie's news concerning the taking o.
SevastOpol by the Alliel forces. is with.
out foundation. or at most, an exsggera'
ton Of the battle Of Alma. A despatch
from Lord Radcliff TO Lord Clarendon
dated Constantinople. Aug. 80. states
that the Allied armies established theil
basis at Balaklava, on the morning of III,
18th, and were preparing to march i'm
mediately upon Sevastopol. 1t is stated
that Menshakoff is in the field with 80.
600 men, and expecting reinforcements
The Notifications Of Anaka have been
burnt by the Russians, and its garrison is
marching to the scene of action. The
Austrian Consul telegraphs thus: The
struggle recommended on the 25th, and
continued uninterrupted on the 27th.-
When the Courier left, the Allies were
on the River Albeck, ten miles from Se-
vastopol. On the 9th, Omar Pacha, or
dered part of his army to be ready for
embarkation for the Crimea. The Allies
occupy Balakla, and are in eOmmunica-
ton with their fleet and commanded the
approaches to Sevastopol, which may be
considered invested. 1t is doubtfully ru-
mored that the second line of defence is
carried. A dispatch from Paris states
that the Russian entertainments on Bel
beck were carried after third battle, and
the Allied generals were preparing to lay
seige to Sevastopol in regular form. On
the 30th ult., intelligence was received at
Vienna that two forts had been taken -
but whether they were merely advance
forts near Sevastopol, is not stated. The
russians at Alma numbered 10000 and
100 guns. In the retreat of the lsusSians,
Prince Menschikoff was chased by some
Chasseurs, and only escaped by the fleet
ness of his horse. The Russians lost
from 6 to 1O,000-the former being prob
ably most correct. a large number Of
of Poles deserted to the Allies. The
French loss was 400 men and 60 Off
cers-the English lost 1,S05 rank and
file, 90 officers, Ia sergeants and 70
drummers killed and wounded. Both
st. Arnaud and Lord Raglan issued Or
ders praising the conduct of the troops.
St. Arnaud informed his men that he
certainly expected to lead them as con-
querors into Sevastopol. All the roads
leading to the bulgarian coast are crowd
ed with infantry and artillery; making
double marches to embark for the Crimea.
At the battle of the Alma, 5000 prison
ers were taken. The struggle was fierce.
After the defeat in the Alma the Russians
regained their Notifications without max
ing halt.
The Russians are completely shut UP,
al.l scvastopol will be attacked by sea
and by land. From four to eight Rms
sian ships are in the harbor. The next
steamer will probably bring news of its
downfall.

MURDER AND Splc1D=.- y terrible trag
cdy occurred in the village of Green, Che
mango county, New York, on the ot: N
slant. 1t appears that u returned Cali
fornian, named David d. Davis, had a
misunderstanding with his wife, which led
to separation. Davis met his brother
in-law, B. r. Hotchkiss, with whom his
wife resided, and after brief conversation
they parted, when he drew revolver and
shot his relative in the back, killing him
INSTANTLY. lie then proceeded in search of
his wife, whom he also shot, and she
expired in short time after. AS fitting
climaxto to this scene of ho:ror,the wrctched
man turned the weapon upon his own
breast and slew himself. Mr.. Hotchkiss
was one of the most estimable men in
the country, and his wife, as we'll as
Mrs. Davis, were highly exemplary ladies
There is no doubt, it is said, but that the
murder was coolIy and deliberately plan
ed. Davis had his pistol scabbard buckles
about his waist, and the pistol, in which one
charge still remained had the appearance o
being recently ceansel and loaded. Al
the parties were about forty years of age
