Commercial dated Washington, 26th, says
the Secretary of State is understood to be
in favor of an immediate and energetic
demonstration against the evident designs
of the Mexican Empire, and the French in
connection with the great rebellion. 1t
is to be. regretted, if such demonstration
is really to be made. that it should have
been postponed until the moment when its
only effect must be to precipitate us into
fresh and most dangerous complications.
The presence of fleet of nine or ten French
frigates off the mouth of the Rio Grande, of
which fact the Government is advised by
telegraph this morning has large signif-
cance in connection with this question.

Numerous other changes are being made
in subordinate positions in the Army of

efficiency.

CARNIVAL OF THE SoLoNs.-The thriving
city Of Toledo It appears has bee considera-
bly, benefited by the erecentlegislation In the
Assembly, by which the Manhattan Branch
of the Miami and Erie Canal at that place,
is gived over to the municipal authorities.
1t seems that the canal was little used and
was great nuisance, being the prolific pa
rent of numerous diseases and regular epi-
denies. At the instance of Senator Hall
from that district bill was passed vacating
the branches and giving Toledo full author
ty to use itas thoroughfare and for sewer
agepurposes. The bill passed both branches,
and so rejoiced the Toledo folks that they
proposed grand supper to the General
Assembly, which came Off at the Neil
House last evening. Mr.. Failing, of that
establishment, prepared one of his best sup
pers, and finer table is seldom set before
any body of epicures. Both branches Of
the Legislature Sin joint convention agree
ably assembled" partook of the feast
prepared for them, and drank wholesome
and hearty toasts to the lively burg of
Toledo, which now that its greatest nui-
SINCE is removed, must make a great ad-
vance in the line Of Improvement. Bracl
mans best wine sparkled in unison with
the hitherto uncorked wit and humor of
the wisest Of legislative solons and the
good cheer and good feeling, together with
the festivities, did not conclude until the
handson the clock indicated that the Sabbath
was at hand. We shall not atempt to give
report of what was said or done, but will
merely mention the names of some of those
who spoke while we were present. which
will show that there was great deal said
in very short time. Brief remarks were
made by Messrs. Hall, Waters, Gov.
Anderson, Dorsey, Thornhill, Eggleston,
Uhl, Loudon, West, Connell, Lang, Steven
son, Guuckel, Osborne and several others.
The Toledo Supper will be remembered
this morning by those who participated, we
hope with no other than agreeable sensa-
tions.

SUICIDE BY A HoRsE.-A horse standing
at the hack station in front of the State
House, became frightened at something
yesterday morning and ran away at des-
perate pace down High street. When nearly
opposite THE STATESMAN office he dashed

a trife, and inflicting such severe wounds
upon himself (the horse) that there was
nothing else which he could do but lie down
and die. The dying agonies of the poor
creature were wat, nd by large and
respectable assemblage of men and boys.
