FIsHEY consist, in pArts Of sigbtssa Letters sup
i posed TO have been written from New York by
Mohammed Pasha, Rear Admiral Of the Turkish
Navy, during his famous visit v this country In
the spring Of 1858. Fourteen of the epistlss have
been "trsnslated" for, and published In the New
York Evening Post, and have not only been read
with much interest ard pleasure by the subscribers
to that journal, but hsve been copied and highly
complimented by the best newspapers and periodi-
Gals In the country.
No bettsr prnof of the popular nature OF the
letters could b afforded than this instant adoption
by the abIest conductors OF the press, who best
know what win crafty the readers Of current tit
sraturc
With the letter., - pabiished in book form, are

pianAtory, laudAtory, and objurgasory received lin
imaginAtion1 by the "trknslator,' from people In
different parts of the United States and

Both the letters and the replies are sairieal full
Of humor that 10 broad enough to be popular, yet
free from any suspicion Of vulgarty, snd relieved,
- all sAtirical humor should be, by vein Of phi

WASHINGTON, Jan. 27.-The Pacific Railroad bill
has met with decisive defeat by the action of the
Senate to-day.
Judge IRWIN has sent in his resignation to the
President. In all probability, the Judiciary Com
mittee will decide tomorrow whether they will
permit the charges which have been made against
him for impeachment to be Withdrawn. 1t is very
doubtful whether the Committee can do so without
first obtaining the consent of the House of Repre-
sentatives
From the Reporter of the Associated Press.
Jasper S. Whiting, connected with the survey
of Sonora under Captain Stone, has arrived here

deplorable in the extreme. Peschiera, the Governor
has failed in his attempt to raise troops The people
at Hermosilla rose and liberated two citizens i'm
prisonedby Governor Peschieras order, and paraded
the streets, carrying them along in triumph shout
ing ''vivales Americanes," ''death to Peschiera"
The whole country is expecting and anxiousy await
ing the purchase or occupation of Sonora by the
American Government, and the Presidents mes
sage will be received with enthusiasm. Governor
Peschera was absent in Sinaloa and about to at
tack Mazatlan. The opposition needed only lead
er to overthrow him without struggle.
1t appears from the official report that there are
1873 salaried Consus. whose salaries amount for the
year 1857, to S25l ,544, and the fees returned by
them to nearly Sill 900, leaving a deficiency Of
Sl40, 900, to be paid from the Treasury There are

York Central, Charles Meran President of the
New York and Erie, J. Edgar Thompson,
President of the Pennsylvania Central, and John
w. Garrett, President of the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad Companies, are in conference
here to-day. Their sessions are private, but they
| have in view the bringing about of an uniformity
of action between the four great railroad lines as to
| fares, freight charges, etc. There is good pros
pect that these objects will be effected.
Mr.. Amidon, of Worcester Massachusetts, has
