HAVANA, Jan. 1.-THE steamer Imperatrice
from Vera Cruz brings still later news from
Mexico.
There were many rumors, some of them
claiming to come from reliable sources, that
Mexico was on the eve of revolution 1t is
asserted that the people are disguised with the
administration of Juarez; that the President
is controlled by Lerdo de Tejada; that the gov
is no protection for American residents.
An American was murdered outside of the
walls OF Vera Cruz shortly before the sailing
OF the steamer: The assassin although known
to the authorities was suffered to eScape. and
arrived at Havana yesterday.
The U. 5. Consul at Vera Cruz is powerless
to obtain Justice.
The Mexicans are much incensed against the
United States, and some of them camor for
another war.
1t is reported that Gen. Aatorre would head
the revolution against Juarez, and for the pur-
pose of placing Porfirio Diaz at the head of
the Republic.

THE ST. JOHN BANK FAILURE.

of the stockholders of the Commercial Bank
was held yesterday. The directors presented
report in which the total assests were esti-
mated at $765671, and the liabilities at $780,
95S. The assets consist of landed and other
property, difficult to realize on. It is generally
understood that nearly the entire capital has
been lost. The report was referred back to the
directors, and the meeting adjourned to March
9th. This virtually leaves the directors to wind
up the affairs of the bank, as the charter ex-
pires on Friday.
