WASHINGTON, August l2.-Oficial letters
from Mexico establish the fact that many
leading merchants and conservatives, in the
City of Mexico, presented petition to Jua-
rez for a discontinuance of hostilities and a
restoration Of peace to the country. They
represent Miramon as nearly powerless, and
that the only parties who refuse to sign petit
tlons forpeace are the clergy and those whom
they control.
Senior Mata, the Mexican Minister to this
country, has just left this city aud will sail
on Monday for Mexico, to arrange some busi-

whilom coRtrere, NJ. P. McQuillen, Esq, of

or assuaged by human hearts.
He has gone forever, while life looked
fair, and hope whispered with the voice of a
syren, to the dark, dread world of wedlock,
on which we can not look without shudder.
We knew him In his better and his hap
pier days, when we little thought connu-
bial fate awaited him; when he dreamed not
how bitter would be his future destiny.
At one time, alas that we should say i'll he
was member in high standing of the Senti-
mental School of Anti-Matrimonial Philoso-
ply, and even one of the Owls; but as he
daily gave evidence of increasing unworthi-

AFFRAY IN THE SIXTH WARD.-A dis
graceful affray occurred in the Sixth Ward,
yesterday evening, which, at one time, seemed
to threaten the lives Of several of the police
men who attempted TO restore order. It
originated with two brothers, named John
and Thomas Canada, who engaged In a fight
on Pearl-street, near Central-avenue, and
who, when the police interfered, compromised
their mutual hostility aud attacked the con-
servators Of the peace. Several other officers
soon after arrived on the spot, and the
Canadas were reinforced by alarge number Of
friends, who seemed determined to prevent
any arrests. Officer Mitchell had a tooth
knocked out in the difficulty, and some
others were hurt, but the Oanadas, and two
Of their abettors, were arrested, and will be
examined before Judge Lowe this morning.
