Dispatches from Mexico.

Dispatches were received Friday morning
at the Department oil State from Mr.. Nc
Lane, our Minister in Mexico. No material
change had occurred in the aspect of affairs.
The contendipg factions are carrying on the
war, and the liberals had recaptured num-
Der of places where they had been previous
ly routed.
President Buchanan's Message was favor
ably received by the liberals throughout the
country.
The liberals are most anxious for the rat
ihcation of the treaty, as are also the com
mercial and other interests. The protest OF
the Miramon government against the treaty
with the United States is responsive to the
protest of the Juarez government against
the understanding entered into between the
Miramon and Spanish governments.
The report that Miramon contemplated
an attack on Vera Cruz, and is making pre-
parations to that end, is not credited.
Mi. McLane will remain at his post for the
present-at least until some action is had,
either favorable or otherwise, upon the trea-
ty now before the Senate.

The Harper's Ferry Investiga-
tiOn.

Realf, Old Browns Secretary OF State,
has arrived in Washington, ard testified
before the Senate lnvestig ating Committee
on Saturday. 1t is stated that he declares
that the movement of Browns was seperate
from all political organizations and poll
ticisns, and he knows nothing to implicate
any member OF the Republican party. He
testifes to correspondence between John
Brown and Senator Wilson; but he asserts
that Mr.. Wilson denounced the proposition
Of Browns to run slaves out of slave States
as an act of madness. This will probably
induce the committee to call Wilson as a
witness.
Joshua R. Giddings and John Brown, Jr.,
of Ohio, and Amos A. Lawr snce and Mr..
Sanborn, of Mass, will be subpoenaed as
witnesses. Realf is looked upon as
most Important witness, as he has indicated
that he will make clean breast of the at
fair, and it is understood he will imp licate
prominent men in New York and New Eng
land.

A Photographic VieW.Of the Pro.
Ceedings of the House.

The House, says the N. York Heralds
Washington correspondent of Friday, has
concluded its theatrical per formances for
this week, having taken but one ballot
The proceedings to-day were characterized
by language of the most vulgar Billingsgate,
by,appeals to the widest passions, by prop
ositions and denunciations supplementary,
discourteous and disgraceful. The galleries
are daily appealed to in general terms by in
hammatory arguments, and often in lam
guage direct. To-day SO loosely was the
business of the. House conducted, that the
members themselves presented more the ap
pearance of a disorganized mob IN a low
pothouse than that of the greatest delibera-
tive body in the world; and under the i'm
pulsive retort of a member from Arkansas
to the remark of member from New York,
the galleries, from the example set them BY
the members, caught up the fever of .disor-
der and broke out into the loudest. Cheers
The Clerk appealed to the people in the gal
leries to preserve order, rebuking the House
at the same time for setting the example,
Unless those who profess to represent the
people can give better evidence that they
are capable of governing themselves than
they have done thus far, they had better
not attempt to govern Others. A few more
weeks Of such bear garden scenes as have
D ZEN witnessed at the national Capital will
be sufficient cause for the people to rise,
and, with Cromwell at their head, drive
the present disorganizers from the Capital.
The House is really no nearer an election
than it was weeks ago. Mr.. Sherman's
speech to-day utterly failed to induce Mr..
Clark to withdraw his Helper resolution,

Negro Outrage IN Canada West, On Mon
day an intense excitement was caused in
Anderdon, G. W, caused by an assault by
negroes upon the family of Mrs Grevean.
Four negroes went to the house about twelve
o'clock at night and made an attack upon
it. Mrs q and three men we're at home at
the time, and they defended themselves; but
as they were destitute of firearms, the negroes
made an entrance and knocked down and
beat the inmates in terrible manner. The
lady was beaten in an inhuman manner, and
then subjected to most fiendish indignities.
The next day officers started in pursuit of the
rpthans and succeeded in arresting them but
before they could be secured they were res
cued by an armed mob and set at liberty.
This aroused the white citizens, who formed
themselves into bands to assist in the punish.
ment of Me negroes.
Recent accounts state that the citizens
are determined upon arresting the murder
Gus band who committed the outrage. and
the negro population are disposed to Or otect
them, and there is consequently great dan
ger Of a general ditturbance. The whites
and blacks in that and the adjoining town.
ship are about equally devided in numbers
and while the latter are villanous the former
are determined to protect themselves from
outrage.
