1846. rf MERCUfcfe'AKP ADVERTISER SATURDAY NOVEMBER jl. THE BRISTOL The D.uoht oip Lancaster. Further Symptoms of-a FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. UNITED STATES AND MEXICO.
Liverpool, Sunday, Nov. 15. The arrival of the British and North American mail steam-ship Caledonia in the Mersey to-day, puts us in possession of eight days' later news from the United States, Mexico, Canada, and the. lower provinces. lne Caledonia, although encountering neaa winas ana very ooisterous weainer, completed tne run rom Boston to Liverpool in 13 dayB, including her calling at Halifax for the mailB of Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, and Newfoundland.
The Britannia, with the outward mail from England of the 19th had not reached Halifax on the departure from that port of the Caledonia. The political news conveyed by this arrival is not important the opposing armies of the United States and Mexico, in character, have not materially changed. The surrender of Monterey has been completed, and General Taylor is now in full possession of that city and all its defences and resources. The process of evacuating the city by the Mexican forces made manifest the fact that the defeated army outnumbered that of the conquerors, for General Taylor's force, which entered Monterey after the surrender, did not exceed '5000 men of all arms, while it is computed that Ampudias retreating army numbered 7000. The latest dates which had reached New York from the City of Mexico were to the 22nd of October, at which time, it is reported at New York, Santa Anna had not quitted that oity.
From California intelligence had reached Washington, just before the Caledonia was to leave, that the whole west coast was blockaded by the United States squad-ron, and the flag of the union was waving on all the principal points, without having met with opposition. It seems to be the determination of the United States government to commenoe a most vigorous movement against Mexico, in the Gulf of Mexico, both at Tampico and Alvarado. Whether another column of troops will be directed from one of these upon the capital, or towards San Louis Potosi, upon which last city, after receiving adequate reinforcements of men and ammunitions, General Taylor will advance, is not known. Meantime he remains within the walls of Monterey, his troops and augmenting his stores. General Wool's column and that of General Kearney is -each operating on its own line but each converging to the other, and both will approach the region in which General Taylor is operating.
The prospects of peace are as distant as ever. The Mexican Congress does not meet till December, and it onlycan decide upon the proposals for peace submitted by the United States government. But no one seems to entertain the belief that Mexico will consent to any terms which the United States have yet offered or thus far are likely to offer. brg of war, while lying in the port of Mazot-if aptUre! fiTe launehesfrom the American sloop-fhZJZTT 83 the Mexicans discovered that they were to be attacked, they abandoned their vessel and rtnS The PBP6rs speak of a movement to in. oui 00rai" investigation to in-C Ja 8S'' e35Pense, constitutionality of the a of a country four times as large as the Umted States, and into the prospects of the termination of the war with the aggrieved power One of the writers on the subject graphically informs the people that the one hundred and fifty millions which the war has cost up to the present time, would, in silver, load "fourteen fiundred six-horse wagons, and require a truin of teams to draw it more than twenty miles long."

This is. She second demonstration of good feeling between a clergyman and the laity which has occurred in this neighbourhood within this fortnight: on Tuesday week that zealous minister of Christ, and gennfne English gentleman, the Rev. J. H.
Stephenson, rector of Lympsham, gave his half-yearly titne-dinner to his parishioners, when, it is needless to add, that the urbanity of manners and generosity of this much-respected gentleman left his friends nothing to wish for. From a Correspondent. The lath Kev. Thomas Morris, Nevthmt. The remains of this venerable Baptist minister were convey ed to their last resting-place on Tuesday morning, the 10th to the Bethesda burial-ground, Bassalleg, Monmoathshire.
The high esteem and respect in which this worthy and popular minister was held by ministers of the country aound, inhabitants of the town (many of whom had closed! their shops), and the cosmtry, could not have been more strongly manifested than by the attendance of so large and sorrowing an assemblage. The corpse was first borne from his dwelBng-house to the chapel in which he laboured till within a few weeks of his death, about eleven o'clock and, on entering, nothing could exceed the' intensity of feeling of the relatives, members, and congregation who statedly attended his ministry, in beholding his mortal remains now placed on the communion table, where he so recently performed his lost public service, by administering the ordinance of the Lord's supper. Mr. Thomas Kenvyn, of Piscah, Abersychan, commenced the service by reading and prayer after which Mr. Timothy Thomas, Bassalleg, delivered'amost impressive address, embodying a short account of his- religious and public career, in which he stated that the deceased had been 43 jears in the i public ministry had been the subject of religious impression, was baptised, at the early age of 11 called to the ministry at 17 ordained at 24, and during his active and zealous life, rao ministry was blessed to nundreos, it not to tnousanas, who' will hereafter be the crown ofl his rejoicing.

Mr. Edwards, of Pontypooi, preached'- and Mr. Evans, of Beulah.

nmeieen men JUuea. Tuesday morning an explosion of fire-damp took place in one of Mr. Parker's high-pressure pits at Kound-green, new colliery at Oldbury, near Birmingham, by which 19 men were killed. One lies in a hopeless state, and several others severely injured. After the menhad been at work for some short time, and had sent up four skips of coal, an explosion took place, shaking the ground to a considerable distance, followed by the emission of smoke and flame from the shaft.
The banksman in attendance at the month of the nit instantly gave the alarm, and several men from a neighbouring quarry went aown me snaic. iui mmcuuy tne bodies of sixteen men were got up, the shaft being 180 yards in depth. Three were subsequently recovered alive, but died soon after they were brought to the top. Another was almost hopelessly injured, the. remaining four escaped unhurt.
The dead bodies presented a shocking sight, the whole being dreadfully, scorched and burnt; and altogether the scene was one of the most calamitous description, lhe following are the names of the sufferers they are nearly all married men, and most of them have left families in very distressed circum stances: Joseph 'Iroth, aged 22; Jacob Boden, 15; John Windmill, 48; Samuel Boden; George Harding William Tarrant, 28; Josiah Parkes, 23 John Garbett, 25 William Price, 35; William Lyman, 14; Iaaao DufSeld, 10; William Masefield, 23 John Hampton, 16 William Hampton, 30 James Wilcox, S3 Job Holland, 56 James Elwell, 32; Joseph Smith, c54; James Shakspeare, 63.

Abouttwo o'clock on Thursday morning the porters and police of Lincoln's Inn heard the breaking of glass and the fall of something weighty, and on proceeding to the premises, No.
5, Old-square, they espied an individual clambering over the iron railings which separate the small area from the house. The legs aud feet of the person, who was in his nightshirt, were streaming with blood, and it was soon ascertained that he as a gentleman named Jones, a barrister, whose chambers are upon the first floor of the above house, and from the window of which he had evidently just fallen. The history of the occurrence, asgivenby himself, as far as his knowledge of the matter goes, runs briefly thus: Mr. Jones had been to view the performance at Drury-lane Theatre, and, at the conclusion thereof, he partook of a pint of wins, and afterwards returned home to his- chambers, and retired to rest, and was soon fust asleep. Be, however, whilst dreaming of being attacked by banditti, got out of bed, let down the window from' the top andcreptoufc, and, suspending himself by his kicked most vigorously with his feet, and demolished thereby from five to seven panes of glass.
Heat length lost his hold, and fell into the area beneath but what renders- his- escape from a horrible death the wore extraordinary is, that there is not more than three feet space between the wall of the house and the iron railing; added to which is the projecting silt of the window that of his own. Morning Post. Horrible Suicide, Bbidgwater-squase. On Monday considerable excitement prevailed in the immediate vicinity of Bridgwater-square, Barbican, in consequence of a dreadful case of self-destruction committed the previous night by a gentleman, named Benjamin Crootes, win resided in the Bquare. It appears that the deceased, uitil very recently, held a lucrative situation at Barmer and learson's, distillers, B'edcross Cripplegate but havins left that house, he had entered into-business on his own accjunt, and wasereetinga distillery a few miles from During the last week or two a marked change had taket place in his manner.
On Sunday night, between 10 and 11 o'clock, whilst his daughter was in, one of the lower rooms she was alarmed at hearing a heavy fall in the' apartment in which her father was. She repaired to the spot, aid found her parent with a frightful wound in the lover part of his body. A medical gentleman was prdnptly in attendance, but not in time to render any assisbnee, for death speedily terminated the sufferings- of the deceased. It appears that, to accomplish, his object, the.docoasaa had first cut himself over the and afterwards- placed the handle of a sword on the Boor, and then, have thrown himself on the point of the blade. respectable jury assembled at the private residence of the late Thomas Massa Alsager, who died on the previous day from the effects of wounds which he had inflicted on himself William WeBtworth, greengrocer, of, No.
31, Devonshire-street, Elizabeth Perry, oook, and Eliza Bowther, house-maid to the deceased, were sworn. From their evidence it appeared that, on the morning of last Friday week, the deceased not appearing at the usual hour, the cook went up, and the deceased in a faint voice desired her to come in. The curtains were drawn, and seeing- what had happened, Khs ran, out and called in assistance. Wentworth came, and attended on the deceased until his death. Last Thursday the deceased made his will, which Wentworth attested, lhe deceased never made the slightest allusion to any cause which induced him to commit the act.
Miss Margaret Alsager deposed that, upon the morning of last Thursday her father left his residence at Kingston. He had, at times, appeared much depressed; which was attributed to the death of her mother. The deoeased had always repudiated the idea of suicide, and when- he left, said that he shouldi come down by the last train- on Friday night. Mr. Oxenford, solicitor, and nephew of the deceased, saw Mr.
Alnaner on Thursday week, when he-was very low-spirited. Witness attributed the lowness tcsoaae of the occupations ofthe deceased having ceased. Thedeceasea wrote tne -times Pit artioloR: nnd. havins tendered his resignation, it was accented. When witness left him, there was a Jowness ot spirits, but it certainly did not arise-from anything that had occurred with the Times, further than that an active mind was thrown out of its employment.
The jury, after a short consultation, found that the deoeased died from exhaustion, the effect of certain wounds inflicted on himself, but that no evidence had been produced as to his Btate of mind at the time ho so inflicted the said wounds.

Professor Nichol, the vice-president, occupied the chair. The clerk having read the returns, it was found that each of the candidates had in two of the four nations a majority of votes, consequently it lay with the vice-president to give his casting vote, which be did in favour of JLiord John Kussell. How Long will the Present Parliament Last The aot of 1st George sec. 2, c.
88 (commonly called the septennial act), in effect enacts that all future parliaments should continue for seven years, to be accounted from the day on whioh, by writ of summons, such future parliament should be appointed to meet," unless sooner dissolved by the crown. If our interpretation of this Bection of the act be correct, the present parliament can sit legally until October 1848, as the last general election parliament was "appointed to moet" in October 1841. The common mistake if mistake it be that there must be a general election next year, has probably arisen from the seven years being considered by some as seven sessions, the first session being reckoned inclusive, Liverpool Standard.

Colonel Thompson was the oldest lieutenant-colonel before whose name the previous promotions stopped he is older than the seventy-three officers ot that rank who nave now been advanced, and therefore his name ought to have ap peared as the first promoted to the rank of colonel. Our correspondent hazards some guesses as to the motives for the omission, which he presumes to be political. The Duke of SVellineton does not like free trade so he revenges on the author of the Catechism on the Or he has an unpleasant recollection of the motion which Colonel Thompson made in the House of Commons, to the effect that the government of the army was unconstitutionally withdrawn from the responsibility attached to other branches of govern ment.
Declaring a man unnt tor orevet promotion, is tne deepest insult the crown can put upon him i except turning him out of the service, and so adding the robbing him of his pay. But this, it seems, a man mast encounter wno aares to have an opinion different from the Commander-in-chiefs." We cannot believe that these conjectures are correct. The time has passed when political rancours made honourable men to swerve from impartiality in professional administra tion; and we never heard that the Duke of Wellington is chargeable with the fault of. meanness. But certainly the omission is strange, ana demands explanation, no government could exist in England under the imputation of such injustice.

Mr. James Bremner, civil engi neer, who has been appointed to take off the Great Britain, has been a shipbuilder in Wick for nearly forty years; he has taken off the strand, and some from great depths, upwards of two hundred sail of merchantmen.

We understand that the orders for British goods, brought by the Caledonia, are unusually large, and that there is every prospect of a very extensive tradejwith the StateB whenever the new tariff comes into operation. The internal condition of the Union is highly prosperous; chiefly owing to the great demand for grain, corn, and provisions and confident expectations are entertained of a great increase of business with this country, Liverpool Times. Sodden Death during a Hearty Laugh. On Monday an inquest was taken by Mr.
Baker, at the Bricklayers' Arms, Mile-end New Town, on the body of Elizabeth Walker, aged 40, a married woman. The deceased, on Saturday afternoon, was in the company of a few friends, when she gave way to a hearty laugh. In a minute after a quantity ot blood gushed trom her mouth. A surgeon ot the neighbourhood was sent for, but on his arrival life was extinct, Verdict, Died by the Visitation of God." At the Court of Exchequer, on Thursday, Mr. Serjeant Talfourd moved for a rule nisi for anew trial, on the ground of the improper reception of evidence, in the case brought forward to recover the real estate left by the well-known Jemmy Wood," at the last Gloucestershire assizes.
The rule was granted. Court of Queen's Bench, Monday. The Queen v. Tlie Rev. J.
Bartlett. This was the case of a criminal information, filed against the defendant for having written a libellous letter, imputing to the sister of his wife, a lady married to a Mr. Tozer, some very gross and immoral conduct. The defendant had been convicted, and was now, on the motion of Sir F. Thesiger, brought to judgment.
The letter, which was addressed to Mrs. Tozer, contained some very serious imputations upon her chastity. She immediately showed the letter to her husband, and the criminal information 'was applied for. The caBe was carried down to trial, and the defendant was convioted. He now put in several affidavits, and sought to show that he had lived very happily with his wife until her family interfered, and alienated her affections from him.
Mr. Justice Coleridge, in passing sentence on the defendant, referred to all the circ*mstances of the case, and described the letter as a scandalous libel, directed against the character ot an innocent lady, who bad only done what the defendant's own conduot to his own wife had rendered a duty on her part. The defendant had forced his wife to apply for the protection of her relations her brother and sister, being thus implored, went down, as they bad a right to do, to the defendant's residence, and that was the provocation on which the defendant had written this libellous letter. As to Mrs. Tozer, there could be nothing more proper than her conduct in this business.
In the boldness which real innocence always inspired, she showed to her husband the first libellous letter written by the defendant, and neither she nor her husband could be satisfied with less than the most ample retraction by the defendant, or his punishment by the law for writing a most false and scandalous libel. Under these circ*mstances the defendant now stood to receive the sentence of the court, and considering all the circ*mstances ot tne case, tnat sentence was, that the defendant should bo imprisoned for the space of two years in the Queen's prison, and at the end of that time, enter into his own security in the sum of 1000 to be of good behaviour towards all her Majesty's subjects, but especially towards Mrs. Tozer, for the spaoe of five yeitw, The de. fendant was then removed in CoalUUmfe understand that this deparimeui, b- carried oh under. a chiet; is, to be managed by the same cniet, assistau commissioners.

The first act of Narvaez and- Christina was to expel the preceptors from the and to commit the queen once more to the tutelage of her old camerera mayor, the duch*ess of Santa Cruz. Olozaga was weak enough to suffer this, and he soon paid the penalty of it for the very first use the camerera made of her power, was to instruct the little queen to lend herself to a false accusation of Olozaga, and to eject him from the palace, for being guilty of what, poor man, he never dreamed of disrespect; to her majesty.

It commenced blowing from the north-east on the morning of the 11th, and the tide rose rapidly. The etorm increasing in violence raged to a hurricane until midnight.
The hurricane had swept away every dwelling-house save six, in Key West. They were totally destroyed. The Custom-house and the Marine Hospital were both unroofed. It is supposed that of government property destroyed the amount is three hundred thousand dollars. loss of life is very great.
A great many persons were drowned, and killed by falling buildings. The lighthouse and dwelling attached were destroyed, and fourteen souls perished these buildings. The Sand Key lighthouse is gone, and the buildings and people in them. The United States brig Perry ran ashore, but it is thought she may be saved. Commander Sloat was on board her; all the" hands were saved.
The Perry lies in seven feet water. About twenty vessels are ashore on the reef, among them is the barque Iris, from New Orleans for New York. Their cargoes are mostlylost. The current ran six miles an hour through Key West. As far as ascertained, fifty persons had lost their lives.
The scene was awful in the extreme. (From the Correspondent of the Morning Chronicle.) Black Supph age. In two or three days the question of black suffrage, left open by the framers of the new constitution, is to be tried at the polls at New York, and at present the newspapers and political caucuses are discussing it hotly. The dread of black votes on all the firebrand questions of abolitionism will induce many cautious philanthropic persons to oppose giving them free suffrage, and this is perhaps the most important bearing of the matter. In the course of the discussions, negro character and history are well sifted, and as they are shown to be natural supporters of the Conservative party, the democratic opposition to equality of colour at the polls is confirmed and strengthened.
The conduct of the blacks in Canada has been quoted against them, as in the late rebellion they went, without an exception, for the British government. It is, no doubt, true, that it will be a long time before any portion of this despised class can be enlisted on the side of popular rights," personal freedom being all the extent of political liberty which they can be made to care for, at least while socially degraded, and while the employers for their peculiar vocations are the wealthy only. Abolitionism. Negro rights are, in two or three ways, under unusual agitation. A most dramatic case of recapture of an escaped slave has stirred up the black population of New York to great excitement within the last few days, and the Anti-Slavery Society have tried their usual plan of procuring the release of the slave by superior legal quibbling.
The boy had secreted himself in the hold of a vessel in a southern port, and not being discovered till she was well out to sea, he was brought, of necessity, to New York. The captain, who was aware that his liabilities for aldine in the esoape of a slave would be very heavy, and, indeed, that Dublic opinion at the south might put a stop to his trading to that port unless he brought the boy baok, pat him in irons on his arrival here and confined him in the hold. The Anti-Slavery Sooioty has a oommittee of vigilance," however, -from whom such a secret was not likely to be long concealed, and they soon had the boy out on a writ ot naoeus corpus. The judge decided that the arrest by the captain was illegal, as a slave must be arrested by the owner or his attorney, and a certificate must be taken out betore the mayor or recorder, which had not been done by the captain, who put the boy informally in irons. A new process, on a charge of assault and battery, was ready to be served on the boy at the discharge, but an immense crowd received him at the door of the court, and he was hurried for concealment to a building adjoining the anti-slavery office, The police were on watch, and a few hours after they observed a carman taking a large box from a neighbouring house, and on examination it was found to contain the fugitive, who was again arrested.
The case has been before the court now for some days, and is still undecided. The ultra-liberal presses are meantime very violent in denouncing the mayor of the city demanding the unusual bail of 1000 dollars on so trifling a charge as assault and battery and he and the police are stigmatized as "slave-catchers and oppressors" "the oity a Congo, and the oitizens savages." In its ultimate bearings it is an important case, and as the best of legal talent is ployed on both sides, the verdict will be well weighed and decisive. In Boston a similar drama has lately been enacted, with -differences consequent on the different character of the two cities.
