Interesting from Mexico.

NEW ORLEANS, Nov. 24.-The steam
ship Tennessee has arrived here from
Vera Cruz, with dates to the 21st inst,
and from the city of Mexico to the 10th.
The country was in the most distracted
condition and another general revolution
was impending.
Negotiations were pending between the
revolutionists and General Santa Anna,
whom, undoubtedly, they intend for Presi-
dent.
Ofthe passengers by the Tennessee there
are twenty three political exiles and
among these are ex-President Sala,, Jose
Washington Colonel Powers and William
Moran, editor of the Extraordinary, who
was imprisoned for publications against
the Governor of Zacatecas.
Comonfort's fall was considered certain,
and it was thought doubtful whether his
life weuld be spared if he remained in the
country.

ALARGE CHEoK.-The largest check
ever seen in Wall street, New York, was
shown to the editor Of the Commercial on
Tuesday 1t was for $1.320 .485 80, drawn
by the New York Life and Trust Com
pany and certified by the Bank Of America,
payable in current funds to the order of
j. A. Palmer, receiver of the North Ameri-
can Trust and Banking Company. 1t re-
presents the means Of that bankrupt in
stitution, which have been paid into the
Trust Crmhany principally in small sums
during the last seventeen years, and have
been accumulating at compound interest
during that time until the final DISPOSE
ton Of the law proceedings has enabled
the receiver to draw out the amount to
pay the sums over to the rghtful owners.
The larger portion of this money is held
on foreign land was probably sent
out by the steamer yesterday either in
bills or specie.

The News.

There is a hesitation and suspense in
financial affairs, details of the advices
from Europe, as well as further news,
being anxiously awaited.
The impression in Washington is that
the organization of the new house Of Rep
resentatives will be completed on the first
| day of the session. Col. Orr, Of South
carolina, is still the most prominent can
didate for the Speakership, and the indi-
cations are that the whole South will
vote for him on the first ballot.
1t is thought that Gen. Walkers new
Enterprise in Nicaragua will prove quite
formidable.
1t is now affirmed that Sir VIM. Gore
Duseley has no mission to the Govern
ment of the United States, but is simply
accredited to that of Central America.
The steamer Africa has arrived at New
York from Liverpool, with S. passengers
and $3SO,OOO in specie, but bringing no
later news.

bieces of divers coloured woods OF small

vent casting and warping, is composed OF
several thicknesses. The early Italian bull

liability to warpage, as hitherto prepar-

reduction into general use. But an in

both these objections, placing it at once

Thine is form of light, with grace at
tendant in every gesture dignity and
love- A lovelier nymph the pencil never
drew, for fond 'graces" formed thy easy
mien, and in thy eye sports heavens cleo
tric fire ''darkly beautiful deeply bright"
Thy hair is roll'd in many curious fret,
Much like a rich, golden coronet,
Upon whose arches twenty cupids lay,
And were or ty'd or loath to fly away.
Thy manners are all pleasant, without
art, which gives to each look and word, a
modesty and ease. Thy fairy motion,
and thy piercing glance, the symmetry of
thy form, and the exquisite features, set
my soul afoat, even like the melting
strains Of ''midnight music And thy
CONCENTRATIONS malice may aim
her darts in vain against thy head, they
will be turn'd backward by the powerful
breath of heaqen. Again thy face, flor I
love to gaze upon it, as well as dwell in
thine,) so lovely, yet SO arch-so full Of
mirth, the overlooking Of an innocent
heart it haunts me like some rayishing
melody. Thy voice, ali there the pow
ers to portray forsake me, it is like the
warbling of bird, so soft, so sweet, so
delicately clear,-thy deep and thrilling
song, with it's piercing melody, seems to
reach my soul, and enwrap me in its ell
ysian strains. Mayest thou WOO fortune
in thy smiling youth and may purpled
greatness meet thy ripening years.

DIDN'T KNOW HIS Own BABY.-A
citizen of Jamaica Plain, L. l., went to
answer ring at the front door, on the
request of his wife, where he found moth
ing but basket. On the covering being
removed, beautiful little child appeared
some five months old. The lady screamed,
one Of the lady visitors took up the baby
and found note pinned to its dress,
which charged the gentleman of the
house with being its father. and enjoined
him to support it. A rich scene ensued
between the injured wife and tn eindig-
nant husband, the latter utterly denying
all knowledge Of the little one and asser-
ting his innocence. The friends interfered,
and at last the wife was induced to forgive
the husband, although he still stood to it
like a Trojan that he had always been Il
faithful husband Finally the lady very
roguishly told her husband that it was
strange that he should not know his own
child, forit was their mutual offspring,
which had just been taken from its cradle
up the stairs by the nurse, for the very
purpose of playing the joke.

faced young man.
