New YORK, August II.

NEW l. Okh, huS uSC L u
The Herald correspondent writes rom
Mexico by way of Havana, though bringing
dates from the capital some days later than
those We had previously received, do Mt add
anything to our intelligence from that Repub-
lic
The battle Of Stanquique, the fall Of San
Luis Potosi, the change in the cabinet oil
Presiden Ruloaga, the capture of Tuspan by
the liberals, and the general want Of conf
dence in the portions of the country ruled by
the Church party; all Of which We have re-
ceived from other sources, are confirmed
Of the revolution in the capital, placing Ex-
Governor Baez in the Presidential Chair
which was reported in Colma and Acapulco
when the California mail steamer touched
there, no mention is made.
The Vera Cruz PrOgress0 ridicules the idea
of an attack upon that city by the reaction
lists under General Echesgary, but says moth
ing OF any change in the city of Mexico, which
it would have been the first to publish had
such one as the liberal press of Coima
so circumstantially annouced, to have taken
place.
What may be the meaning of the asserted
reason for tie change in President Zulo4 ga IS
Cabinet, that it was because of the necessity
of taking more energetic measures to save
the country, we do not find explained. 1t
may probably mean retaliation upon the
liberals for the course pursued by them at
Zacatecas and other places in executing the
leaders Of the enemy.
Such proceeding would be only another
and natural step in the fratricial war now
waging in Mexico; and it will not be strange
to see it assume the true Spanish character
of war to the knife, and no quarter.'
This expression that Mexico cannot he saw
ed until much blood is spilled is often heard
there

New YORK, Aug. 19.
Colonel Thomas Alsop, the alleged conspir-
ator against the life Of Napoleon, went out
as passenger in the Persia.
Yesterday the capie demonstrations at
Brooklyn passed off without accident.
The investigations yesterday of the Com
m ttee OF the Celebration into the cause of
the fire at the City Hail. did MT lead to any
satisfactory results. There are strong reasons
for believing that the fire was set. 1t is now
thou hit that $4,000 will be required to
make the necessary repairs to the Hall.
Morganhelm, the young man who killed
his sweetheart and afterwards shot himself
died yesterday morning.
Demonstrations at Brooklyn last night
called out an immense concourse of citizens.
The old City Hall, WILLIAMSBURG and many
other public ull!ings and very many private
residences were brilliantly illuminatcd; there
were displays of fireworks in front of the
Hall and various other points, and salutes
were fired.
Capt. Hudson was escorted from the Man
sion House to the City Hall, in Brooklyn,
where he received the congratulation of the
city authorities and the citizens at large
The reception of Captain Hudson was very
enthusiastic, and the claims of his fellow
townsman, Mr.. Everett, were not forgotten.
The streets were thronged with citizens, and
all went merry as marriage BELL

Bifnkers on Horses.

The last London Times received per Arago,
contains letter from Mr.. Rarey, the horse
tamer on the use of blinkers on horses, in
which he dcsi1es against their use We
quote:
The horses eye is the life and beauty Ct
the animal as well as the index of his emo
TONS. 1t tells the driver, in the most inpres-
siye characters. what the horses feelings are.
BY it we can tell the first approach of fear
in time to meet any difficulty he can tell if
he is happy or sad, hungry or weary The
horse, too, when permitted to see, uses his
eyes with great Judgment. He can measure
distances with his eyes better than we can,
and f allowed free use of them, would save
himself by the quickncss of his sight from
collisions when the driver would fail to do so
bya timely pull of the reins 1t would also
save many accidents to pedestrians in the
Streets as no horse will run on to any person
that he can see. Bllnkers are rapidly going
ont of use in the United States, and some OF
my early pupils here have successfully dis
pensed with them. | have yet to find the
man who having once let them off c3uld ever
be persuaded to put them on again. They
arc unnecessary and an injurious incumbl-
ance to the horse, and feel confident. if the
cabmen of London will leave them off one
year, the blinkers on cab horses will never be
seen again in the streets, and will only be a
thing to be read Of as one of the foles hap
ply reformed in the nineteenth century.

A Cat an HcirSeS.

One Of the most exquisite musicians, in her
time, was Mademoselle Dupuy, Of the
French Opera Her playing on the harp was
the wonder of Paris. She was convinced,
however that she owed her artistic excellence
to her .fauorite cat ! And of this strange in-
timacy between charming woman and her
quadruped favorite, MoncriE, her bographer,
gives the following very interesting particu-
lars -
OF course the lovely musicians practis-
Ing at home, was assiduous and constant
But as soon as she sat down and began to
prelude upon the instrument she noticed the
assumed an attitude of intense attention.
At the point of the Instruments arriving at
any passage of peculiar beauty, the excited
gr'malkin went into feline ecstasy, and SO
well measured was this sensibility, according
to the excellence of the playing and the
pathos of the composition, that Mademo,selie
Dupuy was able tojudge of the quality of
the music by the manifest emotions of her
cat =! She became devout Pusseyite, in fact,
believing that the nervous creature was an
exact prophet, foretelIiug precisely how mus
c would affect an audience. And she was
grateful accordingly to the friend to whom
she thought she owed mainly her artistic sue
cess.
In her last Illness at the approach of death,
M'Il Dupuy sent for the notary, to make her
will. She had accumulated fortune by her
profession and the first clause of her testa-
ment was the giving of her town house, and
her country house to her cat She added
to this annuity sufficient for the comfol table
support of the iour-legged mea0sician during
its natural life and to make sure that this,
her last will and testament, should be respec-
ted, she gave several legacies to friends on
the express conditions that they should see
to the fulfillment of her wishes. 1t was also
a condition that they should severally take
turns, during the week, in going to see and
keep company with the orphan puss
Moncrilf adds that the relatives of Mile
Dupuy disputed the validity of the will, and
lawsuit was the consequence-Grimalk
VS.. Dupuys. But, the cat gained the cause,
and lived out her days, with genteel alterna-
ton between her elegant town house and her
charming country house. The particulars of
the final cat atastrophe arc not given.

When and How to Bathe.

The New York EUening Post submits the
following interesting observations Oh the sub
jet:
In these days of hot weather and sun
stroke, people are prone to imagine the bath
a safe as well as agreeable resort. But it is a
luxury that must be enjoyed with caution
The skin secretes an oil for the purpose of lu-
brication and protection from the vicissltudes
Of the weather, which washing removes, !eav-
ing the dermis exposed till it can have time
to renew the secretion and pour it out upon
the surface. The ardent heat of thesu at
such times will infame the skin, sometimes
disOrgarizng its texture and destroying it
entirely, but more often producing disa-
gre able sense of tevcrishness. Aware Of this
| liability the Orientals and South Sea Island
ers always anont themselves after bathing,
thus avert i'll consequences. A bath taken
at nieht Or early in the morning probably is
less liable to incony cnieiice.
Long continuance in the water reduces the
tone of the system, enieebles the organs, and
palses the action Of the heart. Instances are
on record of children that have died when
no evidence of disease was proved but the
dceenerated vitality occasioned in this
way.
A bath taken soon after meal, particular.
Iy after hearty dinner, is, in the highest de.
gree, dangerous. The blood is directed to the
>t'mach, md the nervous energy is there con-
ccntrated to dispose OF the undigested food .
The brain is unwilling to be tasked, because
it is not receiving its allowance of blood and
its vigor is called elsewhere ; the muscles de-
mand a season of rest, that they may not
distract the stomach from its duty, and the
extremities are often cold during the digestive
process, because they are deprived Of por-
ton OF their blood The heart alone in
sists on the continuance of its ordinary activ-
ity.
The bath, taken under whatever form, pro-
duce shock upon the wi, lie nervous svs-
TEN. The effect Of this, where there is not
sufficient reactlng power, is to impair directly
and instantaneOusly the contractile power of
the muscles, and of the heart in particular,
which is itself but a muscle /; and if the
shock is sufficiently severe, ,syncope and death
at once supervenes. 1t is we'll known that a
blow struck upon the stomach shortly after
4 1ull meal ofien results fatally. The shock
of a bath is a blow, not upon the epigastrum
simply, but upon the whole surface, and the
tendency is to paralyzc the muscular says
lem, and produce death at once. The cold
bath, but it will be scents most likely to pro-
duce this consequence.

Arrival of the Niagara with Cyrus w.
Field.

NEW YORK, Aug. Is.
The U. S. steam frigate Niagara Capt. W.
l.. Hudson, which assisted in laying down the
Ocean Cable, anchored off the battery at five
o'clock PM. She was greeted with the na
tional salutes at the fort, and salute of 100
guns from the battery by the Scott Life
Guards She went to the Navy Yard at 7
o'clock, gaily decked with colors from stem
to stern, and was saluted by the North Caro-
lima.
The Niagara reports that she had supply
Of poor coal when she left st. Johns, which
ran short occasioning the delay. Mr. Cyrus
w. Field states that lie has not the slightest
doubt of the cable teing an entire success.
By the Niagara off the bar, outward bound,
be wrote to the Directors of the Atlantic
Telegraph Co. of Great Britain, recommend
ing them to prepare another Cable at once,
as it was evident that the present ne. which
IN a short time may transmit messages rs ra-
pidly as an air line, will not be sufficient for
business. Until the lst of September the
Inc will he closed to all messages excepting
those from the governments of Great Britain
and the United States.
The city of Brooklyn is finely Illuminated
in many parts tonight, including the City
Hall. The City Hall in WiIliansburgh is
also Illuminated. Capt Hudson's reception
was enthusiastic. The streets are crowded.

Atlantic Cable Items.

New YORK, August 20.
Mr. Field sent a dispatch on Wednesday last
to England. The following reply was receiv-
ed to-day from Valentia Bay
VALENrlA BAY, August 10.
To cyrus w. Field, Neeo York:
The Directors have just met to-day. They
heartily congratulate you on the success. The
Agamemnon arrived at Valentia at A. NJ.
on Friday, August 5th. We were Just on the
point of chartering a ship to lay the shore
end. No time will be lost in sending them
all your letters have been posted to New
York.
Please write me about the tariff and other
working arrangements,
Signed: G. SAwARD.
We understand that since Mr.. Field has
sent in his resignation as active manager of
the Atlantic Telegraph, strong feeling of re-
grct has been expressed among the stockhold
ers in this country, and many letters have
been addres sed to him, begging him to with
draw his letter, but owing partly to his i'm
paired health and partly to the pressure of
private business, Mr.. F., as we understand,
felt himself compelled to persist in his course.
The following dispatch from Trinity Bay
was received this morning by Mr.. Field on
the 10Th:
We sent very explicit message this morn
ing to Mr.. Mclver, Agent OF the Cunard
steamers at Liverpool, respecting the disaster
TO the steamship Europa.
Signed: De SANITY.

A CrinOIine6 COrDse.

The correspondent of the New Orleans
Ptcayuae in letter dated Paris, July |
says:
At this season one hears almost every day
of the house warming of a villa in some neigh
boring village, as the entrance into possess
sion OF rural residence furnishes one of the
best pretexts possible for giving party. a
brilliant festival of this sort was given
three days ago on the Fontainobleau rail-
way ; and as it was rather more formal than
most of !hc entertainments given at this sea-
son of the year the ladies' were all in full
drcss. Among the gueoets was a brilliant
young wife from Normandy. At two o'clock
in the morning she quilted the rural lodge to
return to Paris, and as she wore one of the
Steel cages and the number ofpetticoats nov
fashionable, she occupied the carriage alone,
rAele was not rom in it for another, and her
husband followed in a brou yham. At three
o'clock in the moaning they reached Paris,
her husband got out of the brougham and
opened the carriage door, calling her ':Pau-
line Pauline! here we are at home!" There
was no answer. He called again and louder
than before, and he shook her by the shoul-
der. 1t was cold, strangely cold Are you
unwell, dear What is the matter? Speak .''
He could gam no reply. Taking down one
of the carriage lamps,he entered tie carriage
and foun,i his wife dead She had been suf-
lering from an affection of the heart, but the
doc ors said it was cured and now coming
from ball, III gay ball attire, with flowers en-
her head and rouge on her checks, death had
come all unawares, before she could speak
while She lay dreaming of balls and all the
foles Of the world. Never does death seem
more hideous than when it surprises its vic
tim arrayed to play a part in the frivolous
amusements of the hour

Mr. Bangum's Balcony Brass Band.


The following excellent hit is from the
Musical Reciew 1t is well worth circula-
ton
Mr.. Bangum was sitting in his ofice in
the Museum the other day, when ho l. ard
IL knocking at the door,
Come in" said he.
The door opened, and trombone entered.
Mr.. Bangum started. The trombone was
followed by an arm, and the arm by body,
the body belonged to no less a parsonage
than Mr.. Eli Frant.
Mr.. Bangum 2" said Mr.. Frant, inquir-
ingly:
That's my name" said that gentleman.
Good morning" said Mr.. Frant.
Good Forming" said MIR. Bangum.
see that you have band on your bal
cony," began Mr.. Frant.
Yes, said Mr.. Bangum.
AMI came to see if l could get situa-
ton there as trombone"
presume you can" said Mr.. Bangum,
if re can agree upon terms"
During what hours should play ?" ask
ed Mr.. Frant.
They usually play" said Mr.. Bangum,
IRON two to three in the afternoon, and six
to eight in the evening.
" What is the place worth ?" said Mr..
Frant.
"Five dollars week ?" said Mr.. Bangum,
inquringly.
Every WE'LL" said Mr. Frant, with great
satisfaction. He had not expected more than
three or four.
"Y ou can commence to-day, you like said
MIR. Bangum. The payments are week
ly"
Very WELL" said Mr.. Frant
In accordance with this agreement, Mr..
Frant's trombone did duty for a week on
Bangum's balcony, and very hard, too, did
Mr.. Frant bone away on his trombone. At
the end of the week he called on Mr.. Bang
um for his weekly salary.
| will make out bill, if you like" said
Mr.. Bangum.
eff you please" said Mr.. Frant.
After little turning over leaves, and CON-
pairing of books, Mr.. Bangum handed him
the bill. He read it over, once, twice, three
times looking every time more my ystified.-
At last he said
Mr.. Bangum, you have made little mis-
take here, believe"
Eh ?" said Mr.. Bangum, not that am
aware Of"
I" Yes" said Mr. FAINT smiling. He couldn't
help smiling to think how Mr. Bangum would
laugh when he learnt what the mistake
was. Its rather funny mistake. don't
see how you come to make it," The bill
reads.
9 Mr.. Eli Frant, to P. II. Bangum. DR..
To privilege Of playing trombone in his
Museum, for the week ending May IA, 1853,
So"
"Well' said Mr.. Bangum, II believe it was
five dollars, wasn't it p
Yc-es" said Mr.. Frant, perplexed 81
believe it was. But l didn't look at it in
that light"
I" In what light did you look at it ?" said
Mr.. Bangum.
"W-h-y," said Mr.. Frant still more per-
picked 81 thought you paid me five dollars,n mot
YOU"
"Oh no." said Mr.. Bangum "This is
the state of the case. There are quite num-
Der OF persons in the city who wish to prac-
tice such instruments, but cannot do it at
home on account of disturbing the neighbors,
SO | let them a standing-up place on the bal
cony, and each gentleman comes here brings
what he wants io,without disturbing anybo "
that is, any body that we care anything
about"
The Office door opened, and the trombone
went out, followed by Mr.. Frant while Mr.
Bangum proceeded to make out his bill
against the other instruments. Mr.. Frant,
has since given up the trombone.
