LONDON, July 24-The annual ban
quet to Her Majesty's Ministry was given
at the Mansion House tonight, the
Lord Mayor presiding. All the MEM
bers of the cabinet were present, and
the diplomatic body, the bench and
Parliament was well represented among
the guests. Gladstone replied to the
toast to Her Majesty's government, pro-
posed by the Lord Mayor. In the course
of his speech he called to mind the con-
gratulatiOns uttered by Mr.. Sehenck,
Minister of the United States, at the
Lord Mayors banquet last year, on the
conclusion of the treaty of Washington.
Since then, continued Mr.. Gladstone, a
cloud has appeared on the horizon, but
it has been dispelled.
Arbitration has not produced the heart
burnings which were apprehended, but
will lead TO an amicable settlement, like
a friendly suit in a court of law. This
portion of the PremieT's remarks were
listened to with the deepest attention,
and were received with cheers.

/ SAN FRANCIsCo, July 24.-The steam
eF Montana brings adviees from Guaya-
mas and MazatIan. The Legislature OF
I Sonora has ratified the concession to q
/ California company for a railroad from
! Guayamas to Lucion ArzOra.
United States Consul Willard started
for the city of Mexico with documents
for the signature of President JuareZ.
Struggling bands Of revOlutiOnists and
highwaymen are taking advantage of
Pesquira to Sonora aud ROchas march
eastward, and have occupied Caliavera,
committing rObberies, and murders in
the Sinabada. The Federal troops have
shot thirty-eight of them in Mazatlan.
MkTAMOROs, July 24.-The govern
ment forces have been generally with
drawn from.San Luis POtOsi. When Cen
eral ROcha advanced on Monterey, the
revolutionary General Martinez took the
opportunity to attack San Luis with
about six hundred cavalry, but after
fight of several hours was Tepulsed by
the National Guards and citizens with
considerable loss. General ROcha has
dispatched a cavalry force in pursuit Of
Martinez. The revolution in the State
of Tamaulipas having been suppressed,
the whole frontier of the States
of Nueva Leon and Cahahuila, are in
possession of the government, leaving
the insurgents without q port or single
point of importance, and the country is
being practically pacified. The military
authorities to-day issued proclamation
raising the state of siege, annulling mar
tial law, abOlishing the passport system
and other military restrictions which
have prevailed for several months, and
restoring civil rule. II is believed that
the commission sent by Generals Trevi-
no and QuirrOga to the City of Mexico
have made terms with the government,
and that the revolutionary chieftains
viii submit to the authority Of Juarez
or leave the country after disbanding
their followers.
MATAMORAs, July 24.-General Ro-
cha telegraphed from Monterey this
evening that President Juarez had died
on the night of the eighteenth instant,
from an attack of apoplexy which seized
him at five O'Clock in the afternoon of
that day; and directed that the flags Of
the government be placed at half-mast.
The news was received by all classes
with astOnishment, and was not credit
ed until it was confirmed by a second
dispatch from General ROeha-

Justice of the Supreme Court, and until

in the City of Mexico and taking no
active part with the Insurgents, until
Congress shall order an election to fill
the vacancy.

CONFEDERATION.
The Carpenter and Other Shops Of the
Erie Road Consumed.
Thirty-Tbree Engines Destroyed, To
gether with Cars, Patterns
and Tools.

New YORK, July 24-About eight
o'clock tonight fire broke out in the
carpenter shops Of the Erie Railroad
Company, near the shore end of the Long
Dock, Jersey City, which shop formed
the eastern end of the parallelOgram
of shops, covering an area OF
three hundred by two hundred and fifty
feet, the western end fronting on Pre-
vost street. Within the space thus en-
closed We're the repair shops, machine
shops, blacksmith, carpenter and paint
shops and general st0re-roOms of the
company. Before the firemen could
get To work the flames extended along
the roof of the machine shop, and burst
ing out of every window for two hun
dred feet; within three hours the whole
block of shops was in ruins. Within the
repair shops We're thirty-three lOcOmO-
tives, about half dozen almost new;
most of them We're freight engines, but
there were several fine express lOcOmo-
tives in the repair shop. The machine
and blacksmith shops were full of costly
machinery, boilers, trip hammers, fur
naces, etc. One Of the trip hammers
alone cost thirty thousand dollars within
a month. The buildings also contained
copper, tin and wooden patterns, and a
fun supply of the best tools for railway
purposes. The shops were of brick, two
stories high, with slate roofs, and only
completed eight months ago, at a cost
of about eighty thousand dollars.
Some of the WOrkmen state that the
fire was Oeeasioned by fires left air
banked in the blacksmith shop when
the men left, at six. Another account
saws a barrel of oil exploded from some
cause unknown. Still another locates
the origin in a carpenter shop, where
evidences of fire were first discovered.
Over five hundred workmen are thrown
Out of employment. The stOrerOOms of
the company, three stories high, We're
the last to yield TO the flames.
They contained large and full assOrt-
ment of miscellaneous stores-lamps,
headlights, etc. The total loss Is esti-
mated at six hundred thousand dollars,
SIS follows: machinery, one hundred ami
seyenty-five thousand dollars; locOmO-
tives, three hundred and fofty-five thou
sand dollars; buildings, eighty thousand
collars. Insurance about four hundred
thousand dollars. Companies not yet
ascertained. The conflagration was wit
nessed by probably 100000 people.
Two flremen were struck by the falling
walls. One, James MeCarty, was killed,
and the other was badly injured. Ali
the books and papers in the shops We're
destroyed. MeCarty, who was killed,
was an engineer of one of the steamers,
and was crushed by the falling walls
while at his post.

EDITORS APPEAL-Rains have been
almost continual ever since the tenth
instant. Railroad bridges have been
swept away; the Warrior rivers here
were fifteen feet higher than ever known
by the oldest settlers; not a water-mill
left standing; crops, stock, and one
whole family have been swept away by
the food Vast wateT-spouts filled the
air, taking up trees by the roots, and
washed a rock about four miles from
here, out of its level bed, weighing over
twenty thousand pounds; tore trees up
by their roots and washed them down
the mountain side. Such a deluge was
never known, and had ever seen any
thing to compare with it, would not
have bothered you to write you about it.
Whole fields of grain have been swept
away, while others lie buried in the
sand and mud. Farms on the hill-sides
and in the hOllOws, as well as on creeks,
worth thousands of dollars, are to-day
Except wOodland) worthless. Crops on
the uplands are comparatively unin-
jured. The cotton crop will fall short,
yet more is in cultivation than last year.
The mail leaves this morning with but
a small prospect of getting to the rail-
road, but / hope it will make it. Busi-
ness is faiT-advancing now on cotton.
