1t is now well ascertained that the
first report regarding the suicide OF
Preston King, Collector of the Port OF
New York, is but too true. In order to
make his death certain he purchased
twenty-five pounds of shot which he
had on his person when he took the Ia
tai plunge. In this sudden and violent
''taking off" we have another fearful
check to proud ambition, admonishlng
its votaries of the uncertaintyOf human
possessions, and enjoyments. Mr.. King
was not able for the perplexing and
multitudinous duties of his office, but
as the World properly remarked, che
had too much pride of character to con-
fess his incompetency by timely res
ignation, and too much sterling integ-
rity to allow the business of his office
to slide out of his control, he sunk un-
der burden of depressing anXiet1es,
till his intellect tottered and reeled from
its throne. Whether this source OF
his malady was aggravated by any per-
sonal difficulties connected with the adj
ministration of his office, has not trans

Pears of AN Attack om Toronto.

NEW YORK, Nov. 16.-A specia! dis
patch to the Herdid, dated at Toronto,
c. W., to-day, has the following:
"Intense excitement prevails here.
Yesterday the Government placed
troops at the disposal of the Mayor,
and informed him that it was probable
an early attack would be made on the
city, with instructions to take as many
prisoners as possible.
con Tuesday night Col. LoWry's
house was pelted with brickbats."
To-day's Ledde, says: "Local prepa-
ratiOns have been made, such as the
posting of troops and patrols, doubling
the police force, &c. 1t is said the hOr-
ses of the royal artillery We're actually
harnessed and held in readiness on the
night previous. Many discharged A
merican soldiers are in the city. The
attack is nightly looked for.'

The Montreal Herald of Wednesday
has letter addressed to the Provision
al Secretary, by B. Devlin, Esq, Presi-
dent of the Montreal st. Patrick's So
ciety, in the course of which he says:
"The st. Patrick's Society, speaking
for the Irish Catholics of Montreal,
and, indeed, in this matter, for their
Catholic countrymen throughout Cana
da, cannot admit that Orangemen, as
such, are entitled to any mark of conf
dence at the hands Of the Government,
or that they should be regardedasmore
reliable or loyal subjects of her Majes-
ty than we and others Of a different re-
ligious denomination.
1--WE desire to assure you and the
Government of which you are a men,
Der, that we ardently desire to cultivate
the friendshipof our Protestant fellow
citizens, that, here, where our lot has
east us together, we should continue to
live in peace, harmony and friendship
with each other, fully sensible as we
are of the fact that the future welfare
and prosperity Of the country in which
we have now the happiness TO live de
mands, as Il national obligation, that
here we should bury, and forever, all

Capture of Monterey by the Liberals
Military Movements.
NEW ORLEANS, Nov. l6.-The
Brownsville MericQn Republican extra
of November 7th, announces the cap
ture of Monterey by the Liberals, under
Pavis, and also says that no reinforce
nlents had arrived from Brownsville.
Merchants who have arrived here say
that large French force was landing
at Badgad. The extra says Gen. Pedro
Mendoti had arrived and joined Corda,
before Matamoras, with / 800 Liberals,
and had previously surprised and ut
terly destroyed an imperial garrison of
100 men, including number of French
troops,
The Liberals claim that they can take
Matamoras when they please.
The Matamoras RulcbO says that the
Liberals offered four hours plunder OF
thecity OF Matamoras to the Z. S. troops
at Brownsville, if they would join them,
and the Rancho warns the Federal COM
mander to keep Il sufficient force there.
The Galveston Bulletin Of Nov. 18th
says that Col. Jones, of Escabado's staff,
had arrived there from Brownsville,
and that Capt. Sinclair, of the Liberal
service, formerly Lieutenant of the
rebel priyateer Alabama, captured an
Imperial transport at the mouth of the
Rio Grande, brought her to Brownsville,
and turned her over to the Federal au-
thorities, who have placed guard on
her.
Canales is marching towards Ragdad
to try to capture it.
An Imperial gunboat has passed up
from Bagdad to Matamoras. A wealthy
Matamoras merchant, who left there
on the 7th, says there are no fears Ofthe
place being captured, as it is well forti-
fed, and the troops are well armed and
supplied, and are in good spirits.

The New York COH7HleJci0t calls at
tention to certain sentiments uttered by
Gen. Logan, the newly appointed Min
lister TO the Mexican Republic, as indi-
eating the policy he is likely to pursue,
In the public reception accorded to our
Generals at Cooper Institute on the 7th
of June, General Logan said:
"The little gentleman in Mexico
ought to be notifiedsome morning very
early, just before breakfast, that it will
be equally as pleasant to the people of
the United States if he would retire a
little further than that country But
in speaking Of Mexico, | do not want
you to understand that it is my desire
in any way to encourage what is known
here as an emigrant society to Mexico.
If we in the United States do not want
MaXimilIian to remain in Mexico, in
Gods name let us have nerve andman-
illness to tay, Sir, you have got to get
out of here"
Again, in his Brooklyn speech, on
the Sd inst, Gen. Logan said if he were
President, he ''w0uld order the French
out of Mexico in a hurry, and he be-
lieved they would GO"

The New York Her0ld says: THE
order of General Mcdowell, command
ing the Department Of California, for
bidding the transportation Of arms a.
cross our frontiers into Mexico, has caus-
ed much dissatisfaction among the
friends Of the Mexican Republic in our
Pacific States, and has led to correspon-
dence between the General and Mr..
GodOy, President Juarez's Consul in
San Francisco. The Consul prays for
a withdrawal of the order, maintain
ing that it must work entirely in favor
Of the imperialists, as they hold all the
Pacific seapOrts and as shipments of
arms by sea are not forbidden. Gener-
al Mcdowell, in his reply, states that
the shipments by sea as well as by land
are intended by his order to be prohib-
tied, and that instructions to this effect
have been given by him to the San
Francisco Collector. He also regrets
that his official duties require him to
pursue a course which is thought by
the Consul to be inimical to the repub-
lican cause in Mexico, which he says
has his Warmest sympathies, and he
adds that it is with pain he replies that
he cannot withdraw the order alluded
