ARRIVAL OF TELE PERSIA.  [The following appeared in the greater part of our impression on Saturday morning] : The British and North American Royal Mail Steamer Persia, Captain Judkins, has arrived. She sailed from New York on the 4th, and brings 130 passengers, and 375,000 dollars in specie. Her .news is three days later. The news is interesting. In the Senate, on the 2nd, a resolution was adopted calling on the Secretary of War to communicate copies of all correspondence not heretofore furnished relative to the California " Vigilance Committee" of 1856. Also, a resolution calling for information as to the results of the trial of camels in the military service. A resolution to appoint a committee to ascertain and report a mode of examining the votes for President and Viee-Preeident, and to notify them of their election, was adopted, and a committee appcinted to confer 'with a like committee from the House. The Indian Appropriation bill, with amendments involving over a million of dollars, was passed. The House of Representatives passed a bill legalising entries under the graduation act of 1854, made prior to its passage, in cases where settlement was made in good faith. On the 3rd in the Senate, a bill was introduced to secure to actual settlers, at 2 dols 50c per acre, the alternate Sections of public lands in grants made to States for • railroad purposes. The Central American treaty was debated in executive session for three hours, but without any result. The Post office committee of the House have agreed to recommend the establishment of lines of mail steamers between Panama and Valparaiso, New York and the North of Europe, via Rotterdam, and New York and Para, via Savannah, St. Thomas, Barbadoes. and Demerara. The general ocean steamer bill, the favourite scheme of some of the prominent steamship operators, has been thrown out by a very decided vote. In New York the all absorbing topic was the murder of Dr. Burdell, alluded to in the news per City of Washington. The inquest was being held, and a Mrs. Cunningham bad been arrested on the charge.  • A fracas Occurred en the 28th ult., in the Lower House of the Missouri Legislature, between two members named Reid and Darns. The latter offered 9, resolution declaring emancipation of slaves an }impracticable enterprise ; Reid assailed him for endeavouring to create ill-feeling in the Legislature personalities followed. and Reid finally struck Darnel a severe blow in the face. A duel will probably result. Reid is notorious as the leader of the Border Ruffians, during the attack upon the Free State men at Ossawatomie, during the late difficulties in Kansas. Dames once once beat an editor to deatli„but escaped with a fine. News from Rexico, received at New Orleans, gives currency to rumours of the outbreak of a new insurrection at Pußbla. Affairs at San Luis Potisi are rep%iiented to be without change. Senor.Lere:,-, had again taken office in the Comon fort e'..7oinet ;- but further changes, if not a dis• sol'stion of the ministry were spoken of. The San Luis revolutionists were still troublesome, and a fee • ble attempt at insurrection had been made in Oni- • zava. Everything was quiet in the northern depart• ments, and the defeat of the revolt at San Luis.will probably deter the discontented spirits in that quarter from making any hostile demonstration for some time to come. General Garza, formerly Governor of Tamaulipas, had seized the merchandise of several American and other merchants while it w:18 in transit to the interior from Tampico. Garza caused the goods to be sold at quarter their value, and bought them himself. The merchants had forwarded to the supreme government an energetic protest A,c.tainst this outrage, and demanded reparation for the loss. The Mexican Extraordinary is rather 'ses-ere in its comments on the repnrtg of th. .1;n nor ;;Iveu at Blackwell's Island to the refugee generals from MeXico, and asserts that La Vega and Blanco were exiled for plotting against Comonfort and the Jew providing for the sale of the church property. Up to the 4th instant 3,000000 dollars in specie had arrived at Vera Cruz, and on that date 1.800,000 dollars in Mexican coin was shipped to England. The hull of the barque Nenuphar was to be sold at Vera Cruz on the 30th ult. Reports from the coal and gold mines were favourable.
