THE HORSE RAILROAD.-The subscrip-
tons TO the stock of the Portland & Forest
Avenue Horse Railroad Company have reach
ed nearly 100000, and the Directors will soon
issue proposals for building the Road, and the
work will be pushed on to completion as
rapidly as possible. In reply to an article on
this subject In the Advertiser of Tuesday, we
would explain the statement made few days
ago relative to this enterprise. The Directors
of the Company, feeling the necessity and
probability of such road, judging from the
success of such railroads in other cities, de-
sired to secure controlling portion of the
capital in our city, not to exclude reasonable
share Of foreign capital; but If they found that
such q portion of the stock could not be OBJ
tanned here, (which happily is not now the
easel they would have been willing TO have
foreign capitalists come In here and take their
stock, build their road and receive the profits,
feeling that II were better for the public to
have the enterprise carried on by capitalists
from abroad than not nj all.

From Havan. and Mexico.

NEW YORK, June 3.
Steamer Eagle, from Havana 30th ult., has
arrived.
The Mexican news is not confirmed. Strong
doubts are thrown upon it by Mexican parti-
Fans in Havana. The reported dates are said
to render the news improbable.
Gen. Rubalcaba, late General of the marine,
is 9 passenger in the Eagle, en- route to Spain.
Steamer Hero sailed on the goth to run the
blockade. The sloop-of-war Juniata sailed
the same day, and, it is reported, captured the
Hero, and took her to Key West.
There had been no secesh arrivals since the
Sheldrake left. -.

nef New York, June 3.
A Peace Convention was held this afternoon
at the Cooper Institute. The principal speaker
was Fernando Wood. Resolutions were pass
ed declaring fealty to the Constitution and TO
the sovereignty of the States and OF the peo-
pie. That under the Constitution there is
no power to coerce the States or any of them
by military force. That the war is contrary
to the Constitution and should be put an end
To-. That attempts to do away with the pro-
visions Of the Constitution which point out
how crimes are TO be punished, are high hand
ed violations of the sworn duties OF our rulers
That the claims of dictatoral and unlimited
military power and trial Of citizens by court
martial are monstrous and execrable. That
the dogma of unlimited submission to the ex-
ecutive power of the Government is unworthy
an American citizen. That we protest against
the cowardly, despotic and accused act of
the Punishment Of vallandigham. That we
recommend the suspension Of hostilitiea, and
the holding of a convention to settle the man.
