The Great Eastern is to be prepared for her
trial trip as soon as the repairs necessitated by
the explosion can be completed. Her trial trip
will be from Portland to Holyhead, and, accord
ing to present arrangements, she will sail from
Holyhead for Portland, America, on the 18th
October.
1t has been fully determined by the Board of
Directors that from Portland, United States,
the Great Eastern shall come on an EXCURSIONS
trip to NeiO Fork, by the soay Of Sandy Hook.
This is positively settled and determined Short
ly before the ship left the Thames, Captain
Comstock and Captain Harrison we're both
questioned on the subject before the Board of
Directors, and both concurred in the opinion
that the ship can enter the harbor over the bar
at Sandy Hook, drawing twenty-four aud half
feet of water, with perfect safety. The famous
clipper ship Great Republic crossed the bar
safely, drawing some inches over twenty-five
feet 1t was then arranged that at Portland,
United States, the Great Eastern shall be light.
ened to the required draft, and then proceed on
her excursion to this city, via Sandy Hook.
She will probably anchor somewhere In the
neighborhood of the Battery, and the rush of
the Knickerbockers on board to visit her, some
time next November, will doubtless be tremen-
dous. Captain Comstock is of opinion that the
Great Eastern cannot cross the bar safely ex-
cept at the spring tides, which occur once a
fortnight; and that, as even then she cannot
bring much if any cargo, it would hardly pay
to run her regularly to this port.-Ne,c York

FROM MExIco.--By the brig Nancy, Captain
Godfrey, at New Orleans from Vera Cruz, we
have advices from that port to the Sd instant.
Very late intelligence had been received from
the military operations in the interior, which
were everywhere progressing satisfactorily.
The commander in-chief, Degollado, was still
himself, at last accounts, at San Luis Potosi.
The detachment Of Doblado, however, had been
sent forward to Guiana juato, where the General
had succeeded in firmly establishing himself.
Zacatecas was in like manner held by some
1000 men, 1853
General Traconis had also advanced to Dolo-
res with some 1900 men, where he was like
wise to await the movements of the main body.
There were still remaining at San Luis about
800 men more.
The letters state that Degolado found his
army at San Luis in dreadful state of disor-
ganization, but that he had to great extent
succeeded in restoring harmony, especially
among the rival chieftains. We notice, how
ever, that Zuazua, commanding the northern
division, had returned home, for what reason is
not stated. Should it turn out that it is from
an unwillingness to serve under Degollado,
whom he is said to despise, the Liberal cause
will have lost their ablest officer.
The aurora boreals was observed at Vera
Cruz, as in other places to the south, but it was
only for short time visible, on account of the
clouded state of the atmosphere

eminent publishes in full the correspondence
between Mr.. McLane and the Minister for For
eign Affairs on occasion of the departure of
the former, but being purely complimentary,
they add nothing to our knowledge of our rela-
tons with Mexico.
From the Brownsville Flag of the 9th Sep
TENDER, we derive the following facts from the
Northern States of Mexico:
A force of $50 infantry, under Weller, with
four small pieces of artillery and 60 dragons,

The laws of Juarez OF 23d and 18th July,
regulating marriages, births and deaths, intend

which Mexico has always been hitherto subject
in these respects, has been published by au-

Tamaulipas.
Gen. Zuazua was in Monterey ON the both,
on visit to Gov. Vidaurri, to confer with him
upon various points of the greatest interest to
the public cause.
There is no intimation given as to the where
abouts of Miramon, or as to any fighting had,
which looks badly for our Liberal friends.
The defeat of Pacheco by Hinojosa is confirm

trustworthy sources in Mexico mention re-
