New ORLEANS, July 2A-The latest dates from
the capital state that Marquee, O'Haran, and
other prominent chiefs were still at large.
Generals Andrada, Lacunza, Larez, and others
were found secreted in the English Minister'S
house, and arrested on the ground that foreign
powers did not recognize the Liberal Govern
ment; therefore no consideration was due the
Minister.
The northern army has left the capital for the
interior. Corona recently passed through
Queretaro with 1000 men en- route for the Sierra
de Anca to oppose Lozada. Garcie reports
to Diaz that Merida has been taken by the
Liberals.
Diaz recently obtained from eight CONNER
cial houses two hundred thousand dollars, with
out interest, to pay his army. Prominent army
officers are Offering their designations every
day, but none are accepted. Diaz has ap-
pointed Felipe de Jesus Terra Governor and
Military Commander of the State of Tobasco.
While in Queretaro Juarez issued the order
for the convocation of Congress and the election
of President of the Mexican republic. He
himself is a candidate for reelection. The
election will take place Immediately.
Otero, Castillo, and ten more generals, ac-
cording to private accounts, were recently shot
at Queretaro. The publication of the fact was
prohibited by the authorities. Canaes has pro-
claimed himself Governor of Tamaulipas, and
levied contributions upon Victoria, San Fer
nando, and other places. He is supported by
small force. The people are much excited and
call upon the Government for protection.
Assistance has been promised, and three thou
ss1d troops have left Queretaro to relieve the
garrison at MatamOras.

Is News Public Property!

An English paper-the Derbyshire Courier
has the fCllowing:-
"At the Belper County Court, Richard Allison
sued Mr.. Wombell, the proprietor OF the llkeston
Pioneer, for f2, under the following clrcum'
stances:-Some time ago plaintiff engaged with
the proprietors of the Nottingham Daily Express
to supply them with the reports of the Alfreton
Petty Sessions and the district news. Defendant
copied those reports into his paper; and plain
tiff wrote letter saying If this we're continued
he should expect an allowance of los. per week,
and that he now demanded f2 for what had
been already copied. Mr.. Wombel took no
notice of the communication; hence the action.
Mr.. Leech, solicitor OF Derby, on behalf of
his Honor that it was the custom of the profess
sion to copy each others news; and even if it
were not SO, the report, after 1t had appeared in
print, was not the property Of the newspaper
correspondent, but of the proprietor. He
should prove the custom carried out by
all newspapers in the kingdom by the
evidence of the following gentlemen, whom he
had subponaed:- MIR. Hatton, editor of the
DerbgshiTe Courier and district reporter for the
Sheffield ana Rotterdam Independent; Mr.. Kemp,
editor of the Derby Mercury; and Mr.. HObson,
proprietor and editor of the Derbysleire ADDER
tiser. His Honor said ii was no use carrying
such case any further. The propretors of the
Times had complained that as soon as their
paper was published their news was telegraphed
into the provinces, and circulated by the penny
daily papers before the original papers could
get into the country; and there was no doubt as
soon as news was published the articles were
public property. The plaintiff might think 1t a
grievance, but he could not sustain an action on
the point. Plaintiff hoped his Honor would
not order costs, but Mr. Leech pressed for such
an order to be made. The Judge said II the
plaintiff did not know better than bring such q
case before him he must suffer the conse-
quences. Plaintiff was then ordered to pay the
costs and court fees, amounting to about g."

tamentary executor of the Emperor Maximlan
was Count Francois Zchy. now learn that
there is a second, Count Haddik. Concerning
the wills of the Emperor Macmillan and the
Empress Charlotte some information of pre-
else nature has reached me, which cannot fail to
excite the highest interest.
From what learn, which of course cannot
guarantee, although / have it from the best
source, two wills, perfectly analogous, were
drawn up by the Emperor and Empress. Each
of them, in case there was no issue OF the mar
rage, leaves all the property to the survivor.
Thus, Macmillan being dead, his fortune, esti-
mated at from ten to twelve millions of iorins
only calculating his property at Miramar, La
croma, and the artistic wealth collected there,
revert TO the Empress Charlotte. The will of
Macmillan is there to attest it.
But now comes the strange affair. 1t is
asserted that the Empress Charlottes will,
written with her own hand, and which was care
fully locked up In one of the rooms at Miramar,
has suddenly disappeared, nobody knows how
or where. From that circumstance II results
that as the Empress Charlotte has no will and
is not in a state to make one, seeing the almost
complete absence OF her mental faculties, all hel

husband, the Emperor MaXimilian, and which

dollar bill and transparent cloak for bribery
in the shape of a request that he would send
her one stanza of song of his own brilliant
composition (he having never written line of
verse in his ife). leaving the subject air, metre
and sentiment open TO his DISCRIMINATING

thought which followed were sent to her ad-

FINANCE AND COMMERCE..
OFFICE or THE EVENING TmiEeRAPH,(
Thursday, July 25, 1867,

Day GooDs.-The N. Y. Independent says;-
Extreme dullness has been theg rule OF the
week in the dry goods business. Commission
houses have done but little, the auctioneers and
1o0oers not much. But, so far as the tone
OF tne market goes, and the general feeling
OF condden ce In a speedy revival of an active
trade, there has been decided improvement
over last week. There is certainly nothing like
a adespondent feeling, nor any apprehension of
lack OF trade when the time shall arrive for the
regular opening of the fall business. The re-
mainder Of July may continue dull but a gra-
dual change will be experienced early in August.
Considerable orders have been received from
the West for summer goods, from whichit may
be inferred that the light purchase of the spring
had been pretty well exhausted. Country pur-
chasers will be sure of finding here abundant
stocks of domestic as well as of foreign goods
when they do come; and the large accumula!
tions will prevent any large advance of prices
Hardly any change in prices of domestics Is
to be noticed. Unbleached shirtings and sheet
tngs have been inactive, and remain the same as
last week. For bleached goods there has been
less demand, but prices are firm.
stripes and ticks are little inquired for, and
only the better qualities maintain quoted
prices. Denims and cottonades are not in de-
mand, and only the best grades bring the top
prices.
There is still an indisposltion on the part of
manufacturers to throw their fall styles of
prints on the market. There is good demand
for seasonable styles, and the market is well
supplied. Delaines are not in great request;
purchasers are holding off for the fall styles.
1.-THE demand from the clothing manufac-
turers for silesias continues good, and the same
may be said of Italian cloths and woollens, par
ticularly for cassimeres and satinets.
I'm foreign goods the market has been very
dull, occasioned In great degree by the actual
and reported failures of some large importing
houses last week. But prices are firmly main
tanned notwithstanding, and importations have
been resumed, though they fall greatly below
the imports for the corresponding period OF
1866. The stock of German cloths on hand is
very large, but prices are firmly maintained
Notwithstanding, and there is not likely to be
any falling off as the season advances. The fol-
lowing are the sales of the leading dry goods
auctioneers for the six months ending June 30,
1867, as reported to the assessor of the internal
