The mail steamer Canada arrived at Boston on the Ist of October in the evening, and the screw steamer Glasgow at New York at 10 p.m., on the 30th Sept. There is very little news of political importance by this arrival, the centre of attraction by this arrival being the commercial advices, which are very important.  The Franklin expedition had reached New York after their fruitless search.  We have dates from Mexico to Aug. 25. The country generally was quiet. The death of General Carrosus is announced. General Morin had been censured for surrendering the Almagre and Saabia, the two American vessels seized at Tehuantepec. An insurrection has broken out in the Central American States of San Salvador and Guatemala. General Carrera, with a force of 1,500 men, had attacked tho enemy in San Salvador, who mustered .1,0411) strong, and defeated them, with a loss of four men killed. He then evacuated the country. The revolution, by the last advices, had commenced on the Rio Grande, and the insurgents, after capturing the government bands, had marched to join Carababel, who was concentrating his forces near Monterey. A number of literary men held a meeting on Wednesday, the 21th inst., in the Library Rooms, City Hall, for the purpose of adopting measures to pay proper regard to the memory of the lute J.

The Nile nrk Tritome says that the use of tho new female costume is greatly on the increase, and adds of the Bloomers : We arc glad to observe a better behaviour toward themby the sovereign eublie. It is one benefit at least of the increased adoption of the dress. Bloomers arc getting to be tou general to excite surprise or ridicule. ' A duel, in which one of the parties was slain, occurred in Brownsville, on the Hai instant. On Sunday evening, about eight o'clock, a dispute arose between Mr. W. IL Harrison, of that city, and Mr. W. O. Clarkc,.of Point Isabel. A sort of informal duel, with five shooters, was proposed and accepted on the instant, in the street. They went out and at fifteen paces commenced the contest. Both pistols missed tire in the first attempt; the deceased's pistol missed fire a second time; his antagonist fired, without effect, and again fired a second time, when tho deceased fell by a shot near the region of the heart. A warrant was issued for the arrest of Mr. Harrison, but he passed the river into Mexico before it could be executed.  Several of tho persons charged with participation in the Christiana riot, growing out of an attempt to seize a fugitive slave in Lancaster Co., Pa., have sustained their primary examination, and have been committed to prison in Philadelphia to take their trial for murder and treason at the next session of the circuit court of the United States.
