MEETING OF LEATHER DEALERs.-A general con-
vention of shOe-eather dealers of the States of
New York and Pennsylvania was held at the Astor
House, New \ Ork, on Wednesday, for the purpose
of forming association for the protection Of their
interests. About forty tqnneres were represented.
The cause of this movement is the depressed condi
ton of the sole-eather manufacturing business
The meeting was strictly private. The general
opinion that the only remedy for the present
state of things was to curta their business for
several months until the surplus of stock now on
hand should be exhausted, and it was proposed TO
pass resolutions to that effect and to get the agree
ment of every member of the association to follow
that course OF action.
D1srISGU1sBEp DEPARTUREs.-The steamship Afri-
ca sailed from New York on Wednesday. Among
her passengers were four individuals who occupy
a high position in the world of fancy. Their names
are John Morrissey, Paddy Hughes, John Feely,
and "Dad" Cunningham. The latter is the gen
tleman who some time ago, was fortunate enough
to kill rival for pugilistic honors named "Pau-
deem" and the occasion of the temporary absence
from our shores of the four shining lights alluded
to is the contemplated encounter in the "noble
art" between the Benicia Boy and Savers, soon to
off, and for the result of which all muscledom
is on the qtti UiUe.
IMPORTANT CHANGES IN THE GOVERNMENTAL POLL
CY OF THE METHODIST EPISCOPAL CHURCH.-The
Newark Advertiser says that at the New Jersey
Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church,
now in session in Salem, in that State, important
changes in the government of the Church will be
discussed 1t is urged that at present the power
of the ministry is too arbitrary, and it is now de-
sired to introduce the lay element into both the
annual and general conferences; to modify the
powers of presiding elders; to prolong the period
of ministerial service in the same church by the
same pastor, and introduce other innovations
which are regarded by the movers thereof as re-
forms. These propositions are expected to provoke
considerable discussion, and their consideration
will add much to the interest of the session.

Later from Mexico.

New ORLEANS, March l5.-Advices from Acapul-
co of the 9th have been received. General Alva-
rez had ordered General Wheat to Vera Cruz to
command the foreign forces. Miramon was not
expected to attack Vera Cruz
General Caravajal, with two thousand men, had
cut off one thousand of Miramon's troops, and en-
tirely cut off communication with the capital
Miramon was short of provisions, and depending
on the Havana expedition for supplies
Alvarado was blockading the Liberals.
Since Mr.. McLane left, the British, French, and
Spanish Ministers have been endeavoring to effect
a compromise between the Juarez and Miramon
governments. An armistice of six months was pro-
posed.
American influence was said to be declining.
Commander James had demanded of Miramon
not to interfere with Americans.

The following article was prepared for
yesterdays paper, but was crowded out by
the extended report of the celebration.
Conspicuous in the trades procession
Wednesday, and, indeed, the feature of the
industrial display that we are justly proud
to say shed such honor on the noble sons of
toll of our fair city, was the gaily decorated
Printers Canopy, which we, disciples of our
iIlustrious prototypes, Gutenberg, Faust
and Franklin, deem worthy of more than
the passing notice, given in the regular re-
port of the procession, that will be found
in yesterdays issue. More especially do we
deem this necessary, that we may in this
connection, return our thanks, on behalf of
the Evansville Typographical Society, to
the ladies and gentlemen who so generously
aided in rendering peculiarly attractive,

harmony of arrangement, that the practiced
eye of the horticultUrist, might in vain scan
the fairy-like bower without being able to
determine the handiwork of the Creator
from that of the creature. We hazard
nothing in saying that their efforts were
duly appreciated not only by the ever CRATE
full typos, who experienced inexpressible
feelings of pleasure, but by the crowds of
enthusiastic spectators that lined the march
of the procession, who seemed to be pc
culiarly interested in the working of the
miniature press, which was kept busily en-
gagged during the entire time in throwing

Address OF Mr.. Victor Bisch, on the
Fourth OF July, after Reading the
Declaration OF Independence.
FELLOW WoRKINGMEN AND MECHANICs:-I
sincerely thank you for the honor you have
conferred upon me by selecting me from
your number to read, on this occasion, the
Declaration of Independence.
1 shall always remember with pride and
pleasure this celebration, gotten up by the
Mechanics and Workingmen of Evansville, in
which thousands of our fellow-citizens have
Joined US in offering thanks to Providence
for its blessings of Freedom and Liberty,
and to pay worthy tribute to the memory
of the great Patriots who this day 81 years
ago. redeemed this country from oppression
and tyranny.
The Workingmen and Mechanics of Ev-
ansviile, in representing in procession their
different Trades, did not intend to have their
merits thus appreciated, nor did they need
to aim at destroying the lukewarmness
formerly shown to home manufacturers by
many of our Merchants and Traders. No
for who knows not that Evansville and its
Mechanics have placed themselves far be-
yond competition from other places. We
have attained these happy results by the
cooperation of all classes of our community,
by the aid given to skill and industry, and
by the generous support lent to mechanical
enterprise, by the men who, by their social
and commercial standing, felt it their duty
to patronize Home Manufacturers. said
Duty, for duty it is to US all-links of one
chain to lend ourselves mutual support, and
thus contribute to our general welfare.
But we have made this demonstration to
honor the memory of our fathers who have
secured for US independence and Freedom
who, in the days of trials and struggles, have
always found reader aid at the hands of the
Producers than Consumers, and who we'll
knew that the Mechanics and Workingmen
form the strong pillar upon which rests the
prosperity of our country.
Mechanics and Workingmen let us bid
welcome to all who came to take part in
this celebration, and let US celebrate this
great day in a manner that will leave
pleasant recollection in the minds of all
present, and in manner that will do honor
to the Mechanics of Evansville.
