Report irial Crotchkib. An amusing Da roo. rntlc accident occurred last evening. Ex c.ly one hundred and nlly of the "great unread" of Locoloco persuasion were holding an open air pow-wow at Broad and Coates street. Toe spuaker-' stand, a platiorra come 15 leet square, was lighted by a ro ot dingy lanterns, and upou it wereFCated quite a sqa id of tbe tfhers of tbo gathering, Save those , mentioned, nary torch, n.iry lautern, nary light bad tbey. Tbe night, itself was dark, and everything wore such a sombre hue that the ataud could hardly bs seen at a -lew yards distant. Jt was possible to bear tbe souuds of the words but whence they came puzzled you. We stood in the fr.nges of the crowd for a moment and listened. We were just beginning to distinguish tbe gesticulating arm or tbe speaker outlined against a bar-room window In his rear, when-hark 1 see! a crash of falllDg timbers rushes on jour ear. and the stand and us occuoants sink suddenly from view. Down they go, as though the olid earth bad opened. The ono hundred and fifty hearers already mentioned sway backward irotn tha laagined pit Into which these orators had descended. Cr ei rls-e on tbe air. Curious virls upon tbe sidewalks get up a prolonged tiller. Bad boys take- advantase of trie confu sion cherr loudly tor General Grant, (n a second's time not a soul was within tlity feet of tbedemolielel plitlonn. Tbe latter was really in a ptiitul mo a, torches, chair?, plunks, men, tumblers, and manuscript speeches, all haebed up together. You beard groans too, from the rums. Somebody buried beneath the debrio was erumbliuar over a dam-age (with tbe fiqe omitted) to his leg or head, we could not tell which. Another was counting his beads with eager rapidity, another removing the coal oil lioni bi ejes, anotner with his head just above tbe lallen rail was bobbing it savagely at the dismayed people around. Nothing could have becu more laughable than the whole scene. We heaid one chap upon the far corner make the remark (said cbao bad been standing close by the stand at the time of its descent), "Wonder if they have gone all tne way down?" He asked the question in a huohed tone, and significantly pointed, as he apoke, with bis finger to the ground. Tbe crowd couldn't be induced to bear a hand in getting the poor fellows from their predicament, and consequently they had to set to and extricate themselves. By and by tbey made their escape, when one of them we presume the cove who bad been so unceremoniously interrupted in his little talk clambered to the very top of the heap and pluckily finished his "say." Three pieces of music a. whistle, a fiddle, and a dram which were stationed on a balcony over the stand, began Joylulty playing wbeu it was all over. "We went do wd, but we got up 1 Ilarrul Hurra!" The difference between men is mainly In the bead. Brains are about everything bo ly next to nothing. It is what is over the shoul ders not under that determines status. AH body, no bead booby; all bead, not much body philosopher. The man who found it "onpleasant" to make an hoar before breaklast on an empty stomach, sow walks with tolerable comfort on a cracker.

A Statement of tbe Forthcoming Trlnl. Correspondence of the Baltimore fu. Washington, Sept. 14. Subpcenas were issued to-day vSept. 14) lor both the prosecution and tbe defense in tbe case against John EL Hurratt, Ihe defense itsued ninety-sly, embracing the names of all the witnesses hitnerto examined, and none otbfrs, and including the Catholic priests in Canada, Mr. John T. Ford, ot Balti. more, Mr. Ctflord, and others. These subprenas have been h-sued upon the tnd ctnieut charging murder, tbe one upon which the accused was formerly tried. Tho subpoenas for the prosocn tion, numbering sixty-nine, mclude Weichman, St. Maile, Macmillau. and all formerly examiued, and also tbiee new na ues, viz.:-U. I. Bevaus, of Redwing, Minn.; Uriah Jamison, of Mans field, Ohio, and L. II. Terrell, of New Brunswick, N.J. It is thus manifest that there will bd a coi.fllct upon the brst day as to which Indict, meiit shall be tried. Tbe de;ene will insist upon the murder indicmeot, and the prosecution upon that charging en gaging in. rebellion. Tbe prosecuting officers sy that ibey will not consent to go to trial except upon the last nat.ei indictment, and , IT" ".em alP'e aimit Burratfs discharge upon ihoBrst, and contend that the minutes ol the tioun Miow tttat to be the fact. r-,i..rpi'ar? by re''r,'rc t0 the minutes of tbe Criminal Court Uat tho second iudictmut, Charging that the accused engaged lu the HebcN Hon, wa found on June 22, and upon the same day Surratt pleaded not guilty.

The Dis trict Attorney says that It is clear to hina that the special term was ordered for the trial ef the special Indictment, and had no reference to the murder indictment, and an attempt will be made to induce the Court to take that Tie of tbe case. MEXICO. IiMluNtrjr l'araljceri-. A Cxleln Antlel imted. Tbe. English steamer Mersey brings dates from the City of Mexico o the 30th nlt and from Vera Cruz to the 4ih inst. El Qiobo of the 28ih ult. says In its. eeml-monihly review, that there are indications of a social crlsl., such as has never been experienced in the country; that the commerce and industry are completely para l)zed; that nearly all the cotton and other factories have been closed, and that a large Lumber ot the poorer class have been thus deprived ol the means of earning a subsistence. the Ministry, It adds, contlnes to bo without abend. Afhbrttirue ago rumors wera in cir culation to tbe effect that either 8enor Romero. Ilinloter of the Tieasury, would tske chare, of the Department of Htate, or that that office would be Intrusted to 8enor Rlva Palacio, ol the Supreme Court. Tbe probability Is, however, that tho stale of disorganization will subsist until Congress meets. The first parliamentary transactions will probably determine the reor gani7ation of the Ministry. Some of the pressnt members will e.0 out, and a comhina'ion will be efTer ted novel in personal but not In political character. With reference to the public peaae, there Is certainly importance in the proposed submission by Ihe leaders of the revolutionary movement in tbe Sierra de Pnebla. Nevertheless, it does not appear to us that this event settles the po litical questions now agitating that Htate. Although armed hostilities may be suspended, the antagonism will remain, as also a decided rancor between the people of the Hierra and those of the Plains. F.ruptloii of tbe Volcano Ixfacllinntl. The Offe Politico of Huejotzlngo sent the fol lowing report on the 1st inst. to the Uovcrnineut of Pucbla: 3 ho constitutional alcalde of the village of Nopopoalco in this municipality, Informs me, under date of tbe 21st of July, that tbe day previous about 10 o'c ock lu tho morning, a loud noise had been heard in tbe mounUm cillei "ixtacibuatl;" that a few moments afterwards it was observed that the mountain vibrated and opened at its most elevated point, towards tbe cuht, with an inclination towards the South, at a place railed El Caballette, above the Torrecilla: a strong wind Immediately rushed foith from the opening, together with huge fragments of rock, which, rolling down the side of the mountain, uprooted large trees in tbeir passage. The smallest of these rocks could ot be moved by two hundred men. There also came out of the crater at the same time a huge stream of water having the odor of sulphur, ot a aark color, and in such quamity that it carried awav the dam, presa of the said village ol Nopopoalco, destroying the aqueduct in au instant, and followed its courso to the river Alcececa. On tbe same day I ordered an examination of the localities, when it was dis r oveied that tie amount of water coming out of the opening was quite small, and on the 22J it had cented running altogether. Several persons engaged in cutting ice on the sides of tbe mountain, fled on hearing the noUa, three among tnem uot saving time to nave themselves were carried away by the current, and up to the present time I have not learned what has become of those unfortunates, who, I have been told, are natives of tbe village of 8au Mn'eo Ofoleo, municipality of Culpan, in the distiict of Cholula. The Mummies of Arica and Areqnfpa. To the Editor of the IT. Y. Times.- In your paper ot to-day, September 16. is an almost incredible statement, verified by General Ktlpatrtck. of a singular and horrible sight that occurred on the south side of the ruined city of Arica. "As the earth opened and yawned there came up five hundred mummies, wbo stand in long lines lacing the sea," etc. The further statement that "the spot where these mummies now stand was once an old cemetery," is fully affirmed by an English Uazeteer, which states, "about a mile from the town Is an ancient cemetery, on tbe side of a hill, in which the bodies appear to have undergone a kind of natural process of preservation." Thus, this apparent mystery is stripped of its ghost like appearance. Arequtpa, the capital of a pro vince of the same name, is situated fifty milts north ot Arica, being elevated 7776 feet above the sea. It is represented as being a beautiful, healthy city, lying in the valley of the Qutlca, about thirty-six miles from the ocean. It was founded by Pizzaro, ia 1636. In order to avoid the consequences ot tbe frequent earthquakes to which it is liable, ihe bouses are low and strongly built. It was devastated by violout earthquakes in ICOO and in 1725. The And. here rite in a volcanic cone 18,000 feet above the sea level, overlooking tbe doomed city. FINANCIAL ITEMS.

A sum of money die by Edwards to Collyer was soltotted, but Edwards did not have the amount. Sam then, in the piesence of Dooney, challenged Edwards to fight him again for the sum of five hundred doliars or any larger amount. Edwards declined, and said that be would never enter the ring again ; but if be did Collyer should have the first chance. Bam replied to Edwards that he could not then clsim tho light weight championship of the country, and that he alone held that honor. The meeting between tbe two was not of a very friendly nature.
