We again occupy a large portion of our paper with intelligence in regard to Mex ico and the movements of the Army believing that we VarinoYat this'time fur nish anything else of equal interest to our readers. Some interesting items of foreign news will also be found in to-day's paper. 4th of July Ccfi'bralion. W e arc requested to state that at a meeting of the Somerset Guards, held a few days ago, it was resolved to celebrate the approaching Anniversary of our Na tional Independence, by a dinner, &c, in the Borough of Somerset, and that the citizens of the county generally be invi ted to participate in the same. A. J. Ogle, Esq., has been selected to deliver an address. The arrangements will be pub lished in full in our next. LEXINGTON CELEBRATION. The 4 th will be celebrated at Lexing ton, in Milford township, by the Vol- m,eerr,Ci.i and SuncUv Schools. Several addresses will be delivered, rangements next week. Ar- j 3SOSES IIA-UPTOV, ESQ. We are gratified to observe that this gentleman has been selected by the Whigs and Antimasons of Allegheny county as their candidate for Congress at the ensuinjr election. If elected, as no doubt he will be, Mr. Hampton possesses both the will and the ability to serve his constituents with advantage to them and honor to himself, l ew men can boast a higher grade of talent, and none are more deserving of public confidence. He was for some years a resident of this county, and always sustained a high char acter for probity and integrity and his numerous personal and political friends here rejoice at the prospect of his soon entering upon a field of so much useful ness and honor. In the memorable campaign of 1840 j Bravo will ocupy the Presidency acl Mr. Hampton did good service to the in! e run. Whigs and Antimasons, not only in Alle- The !sPensio fyr."6 , " . and business remained in the worst con- gheny county, whither he had then rcraow rfhe Governmcnl had caied a cJ.but elswherc,whcnever and whereveran ,nceting for tiie purpose of procuring re opportunity offered to serve them and to sources, which 1 believe can hardly be his zeal and ability, perhaps more than to " ' ' 4 those of anv other individual, were they in debted for the triumph which on that oc casion they gained over their opponents in this State. In 1814 the power of his elo quence was again heard and felt in many of the public assemblies that were held in Western Pennsylvania to promote the election of Markle and Clav and al tho' the contests of that year resulted un favorably to the Whigs and Antimasons, he had the consolation of knowing that he had done his duty; fully, honorably, and fearlessly. Mr. Hampton, when elected, will go into Congress with a reputation that can not fail to give him an influence which, combined with his commanding talents, will render him, in a short time, one of the most useful members of that body and the citizens of Allegheny, while they reop the benefits of his labors, will at the same time have cause to be proud of him as their Representative. It may be of interest to some oi our trt lpnrn ibnt arrangements have iii-s.i rt t0nm ibnt arranrcments have been cncd into by 0,. compay .hfeh will enable it speedily to resume opera- lions upon the entire length of the unfin- . , , r i 'r i m . ishpd nortion of the Canal. Thecoutrac- r ' tors are said to be in possession of ample means to ensure the completion of the work. RAILROAD CHARTER. Wc learn from the Pittsburgh Gazette that the Governor has issued his Letters Patent to the Pittsburgh and Connellsville Railroad Company, and that an election for Directors will be held as soon as the required notice can be given, when opcr- nttnn n !,, .n.it v','A in !! nrrthrdiilltV II'IUUJ Vll Mil . II HI Hi j" v. - Ic immrdiaitlv comiuvuced. BXorsc'sjrelegrapli, . We had the pleasure one evening last week of. seeing Morse's Magnetic Tele graph in full operation, at the Court House in this. Borough. It was exhibi. ted by Dr. Boyxton, who delivered sev eral interesting lectures upon electricity, and its application to various purposes, and whose familarity with the subject, both in its general principles and its de tails, enables him to present it in the clear est light to an audience. The Magnetic Telegraph is undoubtedly the greatest j "wonder of the age," and next to it, per haps, is Colt's Submarine Battery, the principles of which Dr. Boyntou also clearly and fully explained. Interesting Correspondence. - Wc publish to-day the principal part of the correspondence between Gen. Scott and the War Department, recently com municated to the Senate under a call from that body. It will be seen on reference to it, tha't although Gen. Scott had been designated for the command of the Ar my against Mexico, he was never furnish ed with the orders with which it is cus tomary for the War Department to sup ply a commanding officer. Whether this ommission is to bo imputed to design or to ioxoraxce on the part of the Adminis- Jtration, the reader can best judge for him self after he has perused the correspon dence. SH)STSCflPT. LATEST FROM MEXICO. The Charleston Courier has received files of Havanna and Matamoras papers, to the 10:h inst., by the schooner Mer chant, whose arrival at that port was no ted on Sunday last. From the Havanna de la Marina of the 9th inst, the j Courier translates the following letter, which is later than the intelligence from Vera Cruz by the U. S. steamship Mis sissippi: Correspondence of the Diario de la Marina. Vfra Crez, June 1, 1846. The Consuls of the neuter nations "a. Z.

The principal portion of the American fleet is now at Isle Verde, and the Ameri can men-of-war St. Mary's and Falmouth, and a small brig, are cruising before Tam pico. Many families are leaving this city for the interior. We are now here as in 1S38, with the only difference that the Castle is in a better condition. After much delay the Congress of the nation had the first meeting on the 27th, j Senor Bustament (the ex-president) be- ? .i.. Sieved that Paredes will be elected legal President of the Repub lic. It is said that Paredes will march over to Matamoras at the head of a strong army, the largest portion composed from the body of troops called Reserve. The day for the departure of the army is fixed alrMik- but nobody knows it. Gen. y j I obtained, because the clergy u noi ao.c to pay the amount of $00,000 monthly, asked by the government; and on the oth er hand'the actual condition of the several States is not such as to expect from them any resources. The New Orleans Delta of the 10th inst., has a letter from its Pensacola cor respondent, which has this item of News: "It is said that the situation of our squadron in relation to the English, who have increased theirs very considerably, is somewhat precarious. It is rumored that as soon as the English hear of the declaration ol war against Mexico, it will be the signal for them to take possession of the whole coast, and that it is their intention to do so. If they do attempt it look out for hard knocks. Although Com. Sloat's squadron is diminished by the return of Old Ironsides home, he will no doubt, when joined by Capt.

Eleven Days Later from Europe. An Extra from the office of the Balti more Sun puts U3 in possession of a brief view of the news received by the steam ship Great. 'Western, at New York, and thence transmitted by the Magnetic Telegrph. . - Intelligence of the existing war be tween the United States and Mexico ar rived in England by the Cambria on the 28th ultimo, and produced much sensa tion. Considerable public sympathy was manifested in behalf of Mexico as the w eaker party. The Corn bill has passed a second rea ding in the House of Lords by a majority of 47. ; The cotton market was quiet, and but little doing. The corn market was rath er depressed, with slow sales to retail buyers. - The Queen, on the 23d ultimo present ed her people with another ' Princess. The mother and daughter were both do- in well. " "On the 23th of May Prince Louis Bonaparte succeeded in effecting his escape trom the fortress of Ham, after a close imprisonment of some years. Hav ing assumed the disguise of a workman, he contrived to elude the vigilance of the sentries to regain his freedom, without any molestation from the battalion of in fantry that formed ihe garrison of the Cas tle, and he arrived safely in London. Money Market London, May, 29, ten o'clock. The English securities have been affected in a considerable de gree by the news from America of a dec laration of war by that country against Mexico. It is ieared that it will nave the cflect of involving us in fresh difficulties with the United States, and that the Ore gon dispute will now become a question of secondary importance, compared with others that will, in ail probability, arise from the hostilities of our transatlantic neighbors. The favorable effect which it was anti cipated would follow the large majority in the House of Lords on the second rea ding of the corn law bill, but was quite stultified by this intelligence; and, not withstanding the good position of the ac count, prices are about a half per cent, lower than they closed last night.
