January 20, and Assumption, Paraguay, January
10. In Buenos Ayres The affair Of San Juan con-
tinued to excite the livelest feeling. The press
teens with articles and communications denuncia-
tory Of General Urquiza and President Derqui as
the promoters of the troubles in that province.
The Tribune is particularly bitter; charges Der
qui with weakness and double dealing, and with
being the mere tool of Urquza, and
says he is better fitted to govern q community
of ffiars than free republic. However that
may be- Urquiza has addressed circular to the peo-
pie ofthe entire confederation, in which he pledges
himsekto use his best efforts to bring to punsh.
ment the authors Of the revolution; while Derquis
government, in reply to o circular of the provi.
sional revolutionary government of San Juan, ap-
proves entirely of the action Of Aberastain, and
those who overthrow the tyranny" of the unfor-
tunate Governor Virasoro. The quarrel between
DR.. Rolon, Governor Of Corrientes, in regard to
the execution of certain DEGREES published by the
last Congress, continued to grow warmer, each
party insisting with, equal obstinacy on the OBJ
servance and recognition Of their authority. The
government appears to have the best of the argu.
ment. ~.
BY the arrival Of the Tennessee at New Orleans
we have news from Mexico to the 2lst inst But
slow progress was being made towards organizing
the government, while disorder prevailed 10 every
direction. The road from the capital to YAr&Cruz
was infested with banditti, and Capt. Oldham, Of
the British war steamer valorous, had been sc.
verely wounded by the robbers on the route. The
United States sloop-of.war Macedonian was still
at Sacrificios.
The United States mail steamship Bienville, Cap
tain Z. D. Bulloch, was on Saturday morning taken
possession of by the Revenue Department for an
alleged violation of the revenue law, in bringing
cargo from New Orleans without the regular GER
titled manfests. The cargo is now being dis
charged and the question submitted to the Treas
ury Department at Washington. An answer is ex
pected from the Secretary to-day or tomorrow,
which will decide whether the vessel is liable to
seizure or not.
The investigation into the charges of bribery
and corruption against the Harbor Masters of New
York was continued yesterday, at the Astor House,
by the Committee Of the Senate number of
witnesses were examined, many of whom testified
to the payment of money to several Of the Hartor
Masters for the procuring of berths Among those
placed on the stand were several of the Harbor
Masters themselves. The committee adjourned to
meet at Albany Friday next, at three o'clock in
the afternoon.
The democrats evince an eager desire to be re-
lieved from official duty under the republican ad-
ministration Of Mr.. Lincoln. United States Dis
trict Attorney Roosevelt resigned nearly two
months ago, yet there SO many contestants for
the Office the President has as yet been unable to
select the right man. We perceive that the re-
doubtable Marshal Rynders who is about to lapse
into the familiar soubriquet of "the Captain" is
also anxious to kick over the traces and be un-
harnessed from the black republican gear.
In the Court of Oyer and Termner yesterday
Catherine Carr, who was jointly indicted with
Roger Lotus for the homicide of Michael Josten,
in West Broadway, pleaded guilty to manslaughter
in tho third degree. This plea was accepted by
the prosecuting officer it was evident, that al
though she inflicted wound upon Josten, she did
not intend to seriously injure him. Judge Leonard
sentenced the girl to imprisonment in the State
prison for two years.
The match between Rosie, of Brooklyn, and
Bess of Liverpool, England-the champion dogs
Of the world-was fought last evening, for $3.50
side. Ten thousand dollars changed hands on the
match Bess won in thirty minubes. We publish
to-day graphic account of the affair.
The Board Of Supervisors met yesterday.

was received from the Comptroller, showing that
the balance in the treasury on the 23d of March
was s2l7,7l A resolution was offered to the
effect that some more sure method be adopted of
notifying parties assessed on personal estate The
usual routine of business having been transacted,
the Board adjourned till next Tuesday, at three
O'Clock P. M.
The Brooklyn Republican Mayoralty Convention
met at No. 8 Court street, Brooklyn, last night,

nation.
The water was let into the Norris Canal the
