In October, 1858, Mr.. Perry was i'm.
prisoned for twenty-eight days by the Cler
ical forces without accusation Of any kind
and finally expelled the country on few
hours notice. ss4e e
Miramon, the head of the clerical army,
imprisoned two other gentlemen for refusing
to pay duties to him, and was about to
make common soldiers of them, when their
friends redeemed them. M
Another gentleman did not get the sub
sidy which the Mexican government had
promised him for his establishment in Guae
dalajara of Lancastrian school.
The robbery by Miramon of the conductas
containing British bondholders' money,
forms the main feature of the remaining
charges in the specification.
We need hardly call attention to the fact
that every outrage mentioned by the Times
correspondent is t. be referred directly to
the Clericals, whom Juarez, the President
to be deposed by protectorate, is at this
moment putting down.

THE POLAR REGION.
From the New York Times, 18th.

From the New York Times, 11th.
A telegraphic dispatch, from Halifax, to
Henry Grinnell, ESQ.,, from DR.. Hayes, an.
nounces the arrival of the exploring schoon-
er United States at that port, where he had
put in to repair and to obtain supplies. The
voyage from Greenland is represented as
having been very stormy.
We shall have in due time the narrative
of the Expedition; meanwhile, the result, as
far as regards the main object, is absolutely
nal. The party reached Smiths Straits
(about the 18th degree oil north latitude) on
the 26th of August, 1860. Smiths Straits
as previous explorations have proved, opens
into Kennedy Channel, and this into that
open circumpolar sea whose existence is a
prophecy of modern science, and whose wa.
tiers it has been the aim of all Arctic navi~
gators to reach. That sound, DIR. Hayes,
like Dr. Kane, found it impossible, on &C.
count of the ice that blocked it up, to pen
citrate during either of the seasons The party
remained. Baffled here, they took dog
sledges and succeeded in reaching, on the
west side of Kennedy Channel, as far north
as latitude 81 deg. 80 min., which, by the
way, is no higher than Henry Hudson
lCdCuCu t"O uuuuICU duu ully years ago,
and before the river that laves our city was
discovered by that daring navigator.
Thus the mystery of the circumpolar sea
is still we'll kept. The problem on which
the Gibberts, Davises, Cooks, Franklins,
and Kanes, have lavished their dauntless
heroism, remains unsolSed. DR.. Hayes
need feel no shame at not having succeeded
where these failed. He has shown himself
enthusiastic and persevering but the expe-
dition was quite unequal to the task, and
the failure should show, once and for all,
the folly of such insufficient attempts.
Aside from the exploration of the open Pc.
lar Sea, there are multitude of scientific
problems relating to the navigation, meteor.
ology, zoology and geography of the Arctic
region, which are still desiderata. We have
not learned what data of this class DR..
Hayes brought home; but the scientific
corps was altogether too weak to authorize
great expectations. The death of the as.
tronomer of the expedition, Mr.. August
Sontag-an accomplished artist and saUant
and al enthusiastic traveler-adds another
name to the sad list OF martyrs to the Arc.
tic mystery.

Southern Troubles.

| saw a southern man yesterday, who
predicts il Mcclellan defeats Bsauregard
the whole traitors conspiracy will fall like
"a card castle, and that thousands now held
as it were, in chains, and forced to sing
hosannas to men and to measures they de-
spise, will break into loud and irresistible
complaints. Nothing is more confrmatory
OF these general views than the tone of such
of the secession papers as have been
enabled to glance over. Although filled
with brutal articles against the Lincoln

thing to see in the columns of the Charles.
ton Mercury, the New Orleans Picayune
and the Montgomery advertiser, the most
malignant sneers at the want of tact, system,
and integrity in the self constituted admin
istration of the confederacy. The break
up in the postal system is felt almost as
keenly as the want of money and OF the
necessaries of ile--incuding clothing, su.
gar, coffee, &c.
All the sound banks in the South are
terror stricken, not knowing the hour when
the bandits will plumber them, as they plum

A New Chapter in the Mexican Inn
brOgli0.

Hitherto we have known nothing in this
country of the Mexican offences against
Great Britain, save those very vague and
general charges which have appeared in the
always uncertain columns of the London
Times. We are now able to lay before our
readers more exact specification of the
Mexican corpus deficit. The Times CORES
pondent. writing from the city of Mexico
under date of August 18th, for the first
time gives number OF tangible facts in re-
gard to the suferings of British citizens in
Mexico We put no construction upon
them, and only offer a suggestion, whether
the British Government might not call for
a protectorate of France, Louis Napoleon
still reigning, because the revolutionists
whom he depressed shot several English
men from behind the barricades of 48, with
the same justice which characterizes their
demand for a Mexican prOtectorate while
President Juarez is doing his best to crush
the clerical faction of Miramon, which is
responsible for all the Mexican outra-
ges."
We publish the charges in condensed
form.
The correspondent says that all the Brit
ish claims arise out OF violations of Eng
lands original treaty with Mexico, and that
those now entered on the books of the Brit
ish legation for spoliation of property and
outrages to person combined, amount to
$21,0O0,O00.
Here are some of the Outrages specified ::
William BOdmer, Bri ish Vice Consul at
Tasco, and holding also a very lucra tive
situation in mining company, after hav.
ing three times saved the town from sack
and pillage, was deliberately shot in the
balcony OF his house, while expostulating
with Vicarias troops against the ill treats
ment of a Mexican.
The glass works of another wealthy
British citizen, Mr.. Burnard, were tax en-
from him by Santa Anna in 1852 held for
four years, and then restored to him 10 so
ruinOus a condition that two more years
were required to put them in working order.
When the Liberals retOOk the city he stayed
in his factory. 1t was attacked like all the
other buildings supposed capable of con-
cealing brigand troops. MIR. Burnand
stayed iu it, and was dangerously wounded.
His left arm had to be amputated, he lost
his power of providing for his family, his
vile became lunatic and bis daughter an
epileptic.
The reactionary forces murdered Mr.
Beale on the sixth of last July. General
Marquex (clericaD captured Mr.. Newall
and demanded $l5, $50 which he had in his
hands as trust funds for the Potisi irm,
whose agent be was. He refused to give it
up, and Marquee ordered him to be shot on
the next morning. Meanwhile his friends
raised the same amount by subscription,
gave it to Marquee and saved MIR. Newalls
life.

The Attack on Billy Wilson's Zouaves


No authentic information from other than
rebel sources has been received of the at.
tack, oG Santa Rosa Island, OF Billy Will
sons Zousves, by the confederate forces. A
few more particulars have come to hand,
however, from the Norfolk Day Book. They
are as follows:
About two o'clock on the morning of the
9Th the confederate troops, commanded by
Gen. Anderson, crossed the bay and landed
on Santa Rosa Island. near the Zouave
encampment, without being discovered.
Soon, however, as they came upon their
outer line of pickets, they drove them in
and commenced storming the place, and in
less than an hour they had destroyed all the
tents excepting those used lOr hospital pur-
poses, and succeeded in capturing large
amount of rations, equipments, stores and
ammunition, and spiked all the cannon
which had been placed in position.
The Zouaves fought with the utmost de.
termination and beroism, and the Contede-
rate loss is put down al forty killed and a
much larger number wounded. Captain
Bradford, OF Florida, brave and gallant
officer, was killed whilst in the thickest of
the fight; Lieutenant Neims, of Georgia,
was also killed whilst leading on bis column
to the attack; Lieutenant Walter Bugler,
of the Mobile COntinentals, received des>
perate wound and would probably die;
Lieutenant Syre was badly wounded in the
nip. The attacking force consisted of three
companies of a Georgia regiment, about
2l0 muskets fourteen members of the
Mobile Continentals 3 companies of Regu-
lars. party of Mississippians,and detach-
ment OF Georgians, under the command of
Lieutenant Neims and HOllingris; also 200
Alabamans, and a number OF naval officers
and seamen, commanded by Captain Brest,
formerly of the United States, Navy. Lieut..
James 4. Slaughter (not Lieut.. 5. in the
U. S. Army Register) whilst carrying a
flag of truce for the cessation of hOstlities,
was badly wounded. Major Israel Wedges,
of the Second Light United States Artil.
lery, recently stationed at Fortress Monroe,
was taken prisoner by the Conlederates.
The loss OF killed aud wounded sustained by
Wilson's command are not given. but 10 the
exulting language OF the Day Book, scores
upon scores OF the Hessians were slain"

Geary, at the head of thirteen hundred men
attempted to enter Harper's Ferry on Wed.
nesday morning, about eleven o'clock, when
he was attacked from Bolivar Heights by o
company of Confederate artillery. In a
short time the C0nfederates we're compelled
to fall back, but being reinforced by some
cavalry, they rallied and succeeded in driv.
ing Colonel Geary and his men across into
Maryland, where he now lie. The capture
of large gun is admitted, but it is said
that it was left by General Johnston, after
having been spiked so as to render it unfit
for use. The same party also state that
Colonel Geary had a considerable number
killed and wounded, besides losing num-
Der of prisoners. The report of the death
of Colonel Ashby was not credited. The
Confederate force was believed to be about
three hundred.
WHO IS COL. ASHBY?
The Col. Ashby reported killed is Col.
Turner Ashby, of Fauquier-not Dick
Ashby, as supposed by some-and is re-
puted to be the best cavalry officer in the
rebel service. 1t is evident that their
pressed troops had no heart in the battle,
and only fought under compulsion of Ashby s
cavalry.
Captain Dick Ashley, doubtless one of
the same family, was severely wounded at
Romney at the time of the gallant charge
made by the Indiana Zouaves, and Rich
mond dispatch to New Orleans, of July 8,
1861, gives an account of his death from
lockjaw, arising from the effects of a Sc
rious wound caused by bayonet thrust.
BALTIMORE, Oct. IS-midnight.
The following has just been received
here from Sandy Hook, Maryland:
The mill of Messrs. Herr & Welsh, at
Harper's Ferry, has just been burned by
the rebel forces, under Col. Ashby, after our
troops had taken 10000 bushels of wheat
from there and retired to their original po-
sition opposite the Ferry.
After the victorious engagement at Boil.
var, Virginia, Major Gould, in command of
this post, ordered his three companies, c, l,
and K, and detachment of Col. Geary's
Pennsylvanians, under arms, and Captain
Tompkins, of the Rhode Island battery,
opened from the Maryland Heights his bat
terry against the rebels, when Captain Scri-
Der, Of the. Thirteenth Massachusetts Vol
unteers, with his two twelve Founders, and
the gloriously captured 32,pounder attended
to those appearing on the Loudon Noun
tain, both driving them back, SO as to pre-.
vent the further destruction of Harper's
Ferry, which is threatened by Colonel
Ashby.
The families remaining in Harper's Fer
ry are fast emigrating to Maryland.
4 ride from Great Fails to Edwards
Ferry yesterday proves that all was quiet
on that frontier.
Heavy and continuous firing was heard
yesterday morning and forenoon in the d.
rection of Townsville or Fairfax Court
House.
Colonel Webster, of the Massachusetts
Twelfth, has returned to his regiment in
improved health. His command is, per-
haps among the best drilled and disciplined
of the whole army, and is noted with pride
by every Nj ,ssachusetts visitor. Mr.. Can
terbury, on behalf of the State Government,
visited the regiment yesterday to look into
their condition and wants.
