FROM MEXICO.
The New ork Herald, of yesterday, publishes
some interesting details OF Mexican news The most
active preparations were going at the capital at
the latest dates, August 49, to receive the Liberals
who, to the number of 10000, were expected to
commence siege operations in 4 week from that
time. The Archbishops assented to the PROPOSE
ton to send the church plate to the mint and a
quantity mas alreanV Deen melted down. The for
elgn ministers, with the exception. of course of
Pacheco, persist in refusing to recognize Miramou.
Inc capital was crowded with families who had
lied there from the country towns, and in case of
prolonged siege great deal of misery is expected.
Pacheco Is all powerful there at present so much
so that the occasion of presenting his credentials
no a2 but that of Spain to be seen in the capi-
tai. Marquee, who has been in prison for quite a
considerable time offered his services, and it be-
ing perhaps an hour of need, they were not only
accented, but he aODOintnd sapoDd in opd
to Miramon. This is said to be attributable to Pa
checo's influence. Threats against era Cruz con.
tin lie to be made, but nothing will be done till next
month
The following we find in the New Orleans Plea.
yune of Saturday last:
EXPEDITION OF TWENTY THOUSAND MEN FITTING Oct
FOR MEXICO.
We understand that letters of the highest au-
thorty were received in this city, by the Cahawba
from Havana, which leave no room to doubt that
something serious is pending between Spain and
Mexico. They assert positively, indeed, that an
expedition OF not less than 90 600 men is actually
being fitted out in that city for Vera Cruz. And
of this secret is made. Even the troops com
prising the expedition, their regiments and com
panies, are mentioned. They are for the most part
the accimated troops of the island. Their places
will be filled by recruits at home and reinforce
ments from the Peninsula, the vanguard of which
were daily expected.
The ostensible grounds of quarrel between Spain
and Mexico have already been stated. The real
object of the present expedition however, if ever it
should proceed to the Mexican coast is armed in
terVentlon, looking to permanent protectorate
over the country, il not its ultimate ACQUISITION
However QuiXotic this may seem to us, it is no
doubt actually in contemplation. 4 thousand re-
cent events foreshadow it, and especially the recent
recognition of the Miramon Government in Mexico
"A Government with which no other nation holds
diplomatic relations. In that ceremony the power
full interposition of the Spanish Government was
openly invoked ''tO give peace to the country,
and the Minister promised it, in diplomatic terms it
Is true but still in terms not to be misunderstood.

DISASTROUS CONFLAGRATION.
SAD Loss OF LIFE-A LARGE AMOUNT OF PROPERTY
CONSUMED.
A fire, the most disastrous, in regard to the loss
of life, we have known for a number of years. took
place last night amongst the buildings bounded by
Tchoupitoulas, Lafayette and Foucher streets five
in ALL four four-story and one threestory building,
the latter occupied by Molony & Bros, two of the
former by karstendiek Co., another by E. j.
Hart Co., and the other by Bredow Il Wustoff.-
The flames were first discovered about O'Clock in
the rear part of L. J. Hart & Co.'S store or ware
house rather, fronting on Foucher street. Liquors
being principally stored there, the fire spread
through the building rapidly.
In less than hour after the breaking out of the
flames terrible calamity occurred. Hart & Co.'S
tour-story builing, burst as it were Molonv &
Bros small store and overwhelmed it. About the
latter establishment there were at the time a NUN.
and its fall resulted in los of life to some and great
injury to others. The particulars, so far as we
could ascertain last night, are given below, but il
Is feared the result will prove to be far than
is here indicated and shown.
Alfred Dehonde, killed, resided on St [oui.
street. Unknown young man killed. brought to
First district police station. F. Guerage, employed
at E. Reilly d Co.'S badly burnt, taken to Merci
er's Hospital. - klebert, slightly wounded -
Willy Fitzgerald, newsboy, rescued from the ruins
and not very severely hurt. policeman, whose
name we could not learn, rescued from the ruins
l.. Bartlestein, missing. Walter Clayton, miss
ing. Aleck Strawbridge, missing Adoph Picton
leg broken. Archv Boyle injured sent to Charity
Hospital. F. Gueringer, most probably fatally in
jured; taken to DR.. Mercier's Hospital. Richard
keene, missing.
Walter Clark employed at McStea, Va alue & Coz
severely injured. Two members of Mississppi No
: missing-one of them young man named Kell
Alfred COner employed as driver, and Pearses
missing. William Lillienthial, employed at E. A
Tyler's, badly hurt. Allinett, missing. Richarc
Wingate employed at A. II. May Co.'S, badly
hurt. Leslere, badly hurt.
We were unable to obtain reliable particulars las
night as to the extent of property destroyed, bu
we have no hesitation in setting down at 5000 00
or S25O,OOO. We presume there is large insurance
This fire in almost every respect was one of thu
worst and most deplorable we have had for severa
years in New Orleans.
Owing to the lateness of the hour at which W.
We're able to obtain information in regard to loss
me- elC, we are ODngeu 10 ueer q more EXTENDED
| notice of the disaster until our next edition.
VIsIT THE GRAND LODGE OF OPP FELLOWS II
THE HoME OF JAcKsoN.-The Grand Lodge o.
Odd Fellows, recently in session in Nashville, OF
the Goth, visited, by invitation, the Hermi
tage, long the residence of Gen. jackson, abou
twelve miles from that city. A correspondent q
the Cincinnati Gazette says
About two hundred Odd Fellows in all, formed
procession of fifty carriages, preceded by fin,
oand, reached the deserted mansion about clever
o'clock.
The approach to the house had impressed every
member with feeling of sadness, which their ar
rival only intensified. The home of the great com
mander is completely abandoned by all white oc
cupants, only three old servants remaining on thu
place-the mansion closed up, the furniture ant
decorations gone, the grounds without cultivation
and without herd, flock brood-the fences di
laPidated and the buildings needing repair-im
press all who visit them with the force of the adag
that "the castle decays when the lord dieth.'
The estate has been purchased by the State O
Tennessee for Military Institute, and it is now il
charge of DR.. Lawrence, who resides near by.
RECIPE FOR IMPROVING CDER.-Let the new eide

as the weather Is warm and COOL When it has at

one-quarter of an ounce of sulphate of lime. St

return the emulsion to the fermentng liquid. Agi
tate briskly and thoroughly for few moments apC
then let the cider settle. The fermentation viii
commence at once. When, after a few DAYS. th
cider has become clear, draw off and bottle care

original vessel. If loosely corked or kept in :
