VERY IMpORrANr News FROM MExIC0.-We
publish this morning stirring intelligence from
Mexico. 1t will be seen that the liberals have
captured Monterey, destroyed an imperial gar
rison of one hundred men, including number
Der Of French troops; seized an imperial trans
port, and at last accounts were closely in
vesting Matamoros. Macmillan will now be
obliged to import more troops II he can get
them; for his ranks arc continually being de-
pls.ed by sickness, desertiOn, death and all the
other casualties Of war; In the meantime Cen
eral Sheridan will have to exercise the utmost
prudence in restraining the American troops
under his command on the Rio Grande and the
Mexican border from obeying the impulses Of
their nature and rushing 10 the assistance Of
the liberals. The theatre Of war seems to
have been transferred from the central to
tho border portions of the Mexican territory,
and it behooves our government to SEQ that
American interests are not endangered In con-
sequence. We await further Intelligence from
Mexico with considerable anxiety.
TEN COLLECToRsHR.--The contest for the
position made vacant by the sudden death of
Preston King is becoming very exciting. The
numerous applicants are pressing their claims
with ell the energy and skill in their power.
The immense patronage Of that Office is prize
which each faction desires to secure, and it is
not to be wondered at that not only the party
managers, but the present holders of positions,
as well as an army Of applicants who expect
to secure fat places in the event of the appoint
ment Of their particular friend as Collector,
are all watching with great interest the pro-
gress of the contest. New candidates are con-
stantly being announced, and the struggle has
become 80 complicated that it is impossible to
tell who will be successful. There are several
good men urged for the position, who would,
no doubt, discharge the duties of the office
satisfactorily to all concerned. We presume,
however, that the President and Secretary of
the Treasury will take no action in the matter
at present The important. work necessary for
them to do in preparation for the assembling
of Congress will leave them little or no oppor-
tunity to examine into the claims Of the nu-
merous applicants for tho Collectorship Of this
port.

The Last Explosion of Hazards
Powder Mill.

The Hartford papers give the following
particulars of the explosion at Hazards
powder mills:
Tie "press mill " of Hazards powder
works i q East Hartford, on the Hocka-
mum river, four or five miles from the city,
blew up this morning with a tremendous
explosion that shook the buildings in this
city. Two workmeD-Frank Porter and
John Mather-were killed. They were
leaving the mill with quantity of powder
material on the wooden railway, taking it
down to the "cracker MILL" and were
blown down the stream and into the race
way.
A man named Thomas Gibson was in
birthstone and charcoal " building, ad-
joining the grinding mill, and was at first
thought to be fatally hurt in the spine,
but he will probably recover.
About two tons of powder exploded.
Not vestige remains of the press-mill,
and the ruins of the grinding mill were all
in flames. Windows were broken in
houses eighty to one,hundred rods distant,
and the saltpetre refinery is nearly ruined,
as are the various structures around.

the SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTE
PARTIALLY DESTROYED
BY FIRE
Great Loss of Records, Paintings
and Valuable Collections.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 24.-Tlis afternoon,
about 8 O'Clock, fire broke out in the
Smithsonian institute building, in the loft
above the picture gallery, between the CELL
inc and the roof.-caused, it is believed,
by defective flue. The ceiling soon fell
in, and in few moments the gallery was
one sheet of flame. The fire, as 1t mount
ed the central tower and burst in full vol
ume from the roof, was magni6cently grand,
and a curious spectacle was presented.
There were some 200 of Stanley's pictures
here. he had negotiated for their sale to
the Michigan University. Five or six of
them we're saved. The loss is very serious.
The large library in the west wing was not
damaged. The furniture of Prot. Henry
and other property was injured by hasty
removal. The full extent of the loss is not
yet ascertained. A strong military guard
was in attendance. Great difficulty was
experienced at first in getting water. at
no time could all the steam fire engines
have full play upon the flames, and it was
late in the evening before they got the fre
under full control. "a, ,ro.
One of the sublimest yet saddest, spec
tacles ever witnessed was the burning OF
the Smithsonian Institute this afternoon.
The fire first broke out in the picture gal
lery, and was caused by defective fue.
1t spread with great rapidity, and has thus
far destroyed the entire central portion
of that immense building. The library Is
saved, and some of the most valuable
relics of Washington's family, which we're
in the great museum; but the destruction
of other relics and the collections of ex-
ploring expeditions Of the last fifty years
can badly be enumerated in dollars, for
money can never replace them. The fine
apparatus, chemical, electrical and meteor
ogical, was all consumed. As the flames
wound around the numerous towers, stee-
pies, and turrets that characterized the
architecture of the building, the sight was
appalling and magnificent beyond concep-
ton. The falling in of several towers
shows that even walls of sandstone are
ruined. The east and west wings will be
all that will be saved The fire still RACES
tonight, and lights up the central portion
of the city.

WASHINGTON, Jan 25.-The Star says
dispatches received here state that yester-
day morning at two o'clock rebel fleet
of five vessels, the Richmond squadron so
long being prepared, came down the river
to destroy our depots and works at City
Point
The high water caused by the freshet
enabled them to pass the distractions
which our commanders had placed above
City Point for the better protection of the
place.
A battle quickly ensued between the
rebel feet and our nearest battery or fort,
in which one of the rebel vessels was
blown up and instantly and effectually de-.
stroyed, while two others were 80 badly
damaged by shot and shell as to compel
them to seek safety by speedy flight back
