We publish this morning several i'm portant pub
he documents from Mexico, which have been OFF,
cially promulgated in that country. 1t appears

the capital; that General Carrera has been chosen
President pro tempore; and that Congress was
about to be conyoked in performance Of the fifth
article of the plan of Ayua, which has been adopt
ed as basis for the political reorganization Of the
republic. II is also evident that Santa Anna has
left behind him, for ulterior purposes, powerful
combination, whose chief aim it will he TO keep

mannuvre forestalled the plans of his rival, and
without doubt bargained to secure his immense es-

successful attempt, next year. The laying Of the
first submarine cable on the other side Of the At

never abandoned It, and their efforts were finally re-
warded with tho success they deserved.

rendered verdict, az will be seen from the report

of few suggestions az TO the propriety of altering
the time table, escape almost unnoticcd. Nothing
whatever is said of the importance Of having
double track upon the road, Notwithstanding the
superintendent Of the road declared oath before
the jury that if there had been double track on the
day of the accident TO loss Of life would have
