Ever since the return Of the caloric ship
Ericsson to New York from her first voy-
age to the Chesapeake, class of sclfsufli-
cicnt wiseacrcs have been cndeavoring TO
establish their own claims to scieRtfc at
tainmentS, by pro6omcing the invention a
failure, and Snccriug at the inventor as a
crackbrained enthusiast or designing char.
latan. These men would he delighted 10
see their predictions verified bnt the very
spite they display will operate to make
Capt Ericsson exceedingly cauiious iri per-
fccting his engines, before pronoiH5Hg
them ready for a'Soyhge across tlt 'oceaH,
lie has now been brshy Engaged for eight
months in recognizing and improving his
machinery, and confidently asserts he has
overcome the only serious practical difficult
ties which developed themselves Oh the 6rSt
trial. The Ericsson went to sea second
timc on the 18th Of February, aud to the
satisfaction and delight Of AN interested in
her, made six and n half knots un hour; al
though the pressure employed WIS not over
mc-fourth the actual 0pacity.of the en-
ginc The only impcrfcction which deycl-
oped Itself on this trip was the escape of
the air through the insuficiently secured
joints This, however, is very easily rene
died by the substitution Of some less porous
metal for the lead used in closing the joints.
All that now renains TO secure II full and
constant pressure, sufficient to propel tht
vessel at the rate Of ten or twelve knots an
hour, is TO make these joints perfectly air
tight. We expect aud shall rejoice to
hear by the next steamer, of the full success
Of the invention. This once established, u
new era will opep in navigation, In course
Of tiIue We shall have caloric clippers ma
king the passage from the Atlantic ports
to California, with the regularity and dis
patch of packets Mariners will no more
be delayed for weeks and months of the
stormy capc-'he Pacific will be interSect-
ed in every direction by lines Of caloric
ships California and China Will be forth
with connected explosions win ccase--an
impetus will lie given 70 manufactures, and
the new propcllmg power be applied to a
thousand purposes, for which steam cannot
now be used.-LSan Franciso Herald.

Mexico AND SANTA ANNA.-From the
subjoincd correspondence, which we have
translated from "Lc Messenger published
yesterday, it is very apparent what are the
aims of the present Dictator Of Mexico:
Neither Napoleon the lst nor the I'd, APP
preached the goal of their ambition the
Empire more circumSpectly and warily than
Santa Anna is now doing. First comes a
Pronuncamen'o Of Jnlisco, to recall him
from banishment one by one the several
Mexican States rt-echo the invitation, un-
ill the illusirious exile enters the Capital in
triumph amid the drunken huzzas Of q
dazzled and deluded populace .'i
His power is. at once established and
confirmed. 4 few months eapse, and the
order Of Knighthood OF Guadalupe is intro
duccd. Ccbdllos refuses to[ecciye it-ban-
ishmcnt rewards disqualification. Casta-
media, one Of thcjpdSes Of the Supreme Court,
also refuses the profcrcd honor, on the
grouud of poverty. Deposition follows in
Simultaneously.
On the 18th November JQlisco again
taking the lead, prouounces in favor Of
Santa Auna, invites him to hold on to the
Dictatorship, and gives him the privilege
of nominating his successor, by a sealed
Lettrc de cuchct, which is to be deposited
with the Secretary Of the State. Puebla
advances ono step further in few days,
and Santa Anna is ciitreated to adopt the
title Of His HighnesS,' and to assume
command of the army and navy, as Mar
shal General and Grand Admiral In the
meantime the sodiers-and it must be re.
nembered that Santa Anna, has over nine.
ty thousand under arns-eyerywhere are
proelaiming and shouting Long live the

The Peruvian Government offers him $l5,.
600 personal damages, and $500 per day
