Nnw Yong, Jan IB.—The Times corres
pondent says the latest'advices from Mexico
are unfavorable to the Imperial cause. The
inhabitants of Manterey feel no security in
Melrirnriian's Mexican troops, and area
leaving the city en mane. Over 30,000 are said
to have left in three days. The merchants
are, sending their goods' and valuables to
San Luis. Sinaloa alone remains in the
hands of the Imperialists. On the 31st a
guerilla force of 300, among, whom were se
veral Americans, captured San Juan de
Guadaloupe,in Durango. After having com
pletely destroyed it, they left to attack Don
Miguel. A French force left Durangolto at
tack the band. The imperialists claim the
victory.
In the-State of Puebla they also claim a
victory over the Republican General Re
gales, who attacked Angaugeo, with over
8,000 troops. Another place, named Ma
raroteo, was attacked by Regules, but he
was repulsed.
The Indians of Sahcaba had defeated the
Imperialists under Lopez, in Yucatan.
They also attacked Senotillo, but were re
pulsed.
A conspiracy to assassinate the Minister
of War, was arrested at the very moment of
carrying the scheme into execution.
By the steamers Eagle and Morning Star
from Havana, late Mexican news has been
received. The Empress was enthusiastically
received on her journey from Vera Cruz to
Orizaba.
Heavy Imperial reinforcements were on
the way to 'Monterey and Saltillo, and Gen.
Jeanningros has been ordered to resume ac
tive operations in connection with Gen. Mej is
to secure the speedy pacification of the Rio
Grande.
The Sociedad of the 3d says: It is to be
feared that trouble will ocenrat Matamoras,
not with the government of the United
States, but with the Federal troops,who have
openly sympathized with the Juarists and
given them material aid.
The reinforcements reaching Mexico from
Europe during the last week of December
numbered 12,000.
An earthquake shock was felt at the capi
tal at 6.20 o'clock on the afternoon of the 3d
inst. Fortunately it was „unattended with
any accident. The shock lasted for ninety
seconds. At Orizaba, where theearthquake
was felt on the 2d, the result was more dis
astrous, the tower and part of the body of a
church having fallen, as well as some dwell
ings; several persons were injured, and two
children killed. At Maltrata, one-half of
the town was destroyed. The shock was
only felt slightly at Vera Cruz.
A court martial at Jalapa had sentenced
several Mexican gnerilleus to be put to death.
The late foray of the Republicans in the
direction of Tohica, appears to have been of
a more serious nature than was first re
ported. A place called Temascaltepec, was
entirely sacked and several of the women
carried off. On the 28th ult., they showed
themselves at San Nicolas Bastida, after
passing through Cieneguillas, having shot
at the first named place a letter-carrier who
was on his way to Toluca. On the evening
of the same day they made an attack on the
estate of Gavia, and on the following mor
ning returned in the direction of Zitacuaro,
from which they originally came. The
places through which they passed will pre
serve, it is said, for a long time, the marks
of their track. Grain for seed and animals,
as well as people, were carried off, the ratter
either to extort ransom or to enlist in their
ranks. The native Indians of a place called
tian Mateo de los. Ranchos, received the
guerrillas with friendship, but this did not
prevent many of them from being carried
off forcibly. At Maravatio the stage was
stopped by guerrillas and the mail-bags
taken away. Ugalde, after his escape, had
joined the above-named guerrillas and had
been admitted into their ranks.

The Snifrage Question in the District of
Columbia.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 18.—Seven colored
men, representing a large number of colored
citizens, North and South and in the Dis
trict of Columbia, being authorized to
speak, publish a card, to-day, addressed to
the members of Congress, respectfully sub
mitting, that in the issue now pending be
fore Congress for the extension of, the fran
chise, the action should be based on the
idea that there.can of right be no privileged
class before the'law in a republican govern
ment, and they seriously and most earnestly
object to any discriratiort in such qualifi
cation on Mount of color, beam° to do go
would be invidiously affecting them, and
exposing them to class legislation through
out the land, and thus make them liable to
the greatest injustice. They want the bill
to affect althe all loyal citizens in the Dis
trict of Columbia.

A' SENT:rez CEEARACTER. --A. WO oe
named yesterday afternoon in a three-sto
riect,brick ' house in Bender's court, in the
rear of No. 922 PoPlar street. , The building
is owned ; by Jacob Bender, and since it Was
first put up, seventiken years ago, has been
Occupied by an elderly maiden woman,
named Eliza Haley, who is about 70 years
of age. The occupanthas made a business
of collecting and selling all sorts of things
which had been thrown into the streets as
useless, such as paper, rags, old hats, boots,
hooped skirts,coal shuttles, tin pans and old
Christmas trees. The house was crammed
from cellar to garret with such articles, a
space large enough for a sofa, upon which
to sleep, being retained on the first floor.
Near the sofa was a stove, which was also
surrotmded by combustible materials. The
place has been on fire on two other mos
mons, and it is wonderful that it has not
been burned out before.
Yesterday afternoon the occupant went
out to market, and left a pretty strong fire.
On the stove was some wood which had
been left to dry. The stove became hot and
the surrounding articles took fire. The
neighbors discovered the smoke, and gave
the alarm. The flames ran up the stairs to
the top of the house but did not do much
damage. The stock' of rags, ttc., on hand
was much injured by fire and water, and'
some bank notes and currency, amounting
to about thirty dollars, were burned. Miss
Haley was much -distressed at the loss of
her money, and she received strong sym
pathy from her neighbors, all of whom
speak of her as an industrious, hard work
ing and frugal woman.
PROFESSOR ROGERS'S LECTURE.—The
lectures of Professor R. E. Rogers, at the
Academy of Music, last night, for the bene
fit of the Soldiers' and Sailors' Home, was
a great success. The house was crowded in
every part by a highly , respectable and in
telligent audience, and the Professor kept
their attention enchained for nearly three
hours. The subject of the lecture was "A
Glance at the World We Live In," and
through a series of familiar descriptions and
scientific illustrations, thelecturer developed
thewonders of the phenomena of light, heat,
sound, electricity, magnetism, &c.,circ. He
showed conclusively that while all these
important agencies were the result of force,
force was in turn produced by them. The,
lecture was most able and instructive, and
it afforded unalloyed pleasure to the large
audience.
CAPTURE OF A SUPPOSED BURGLAR.—A
man named Chas. Steward was arrested
about two o'clock this morning in the neigh
borhood of Front and South streets under
suspicion of burglary. The prisoner and
another man, it is alleged, were observed
by a policeman carrying a flight of
stairs of sufficient height to reach the
second story of a house. Upon being chased
the stairs were dropped. Steward was cap
tured but his companion escaped. Steward
was taken before Alderman Titterma7 and
was sent to prison.
A COUNTRYMAN ROBBED.—An individual
from the country, who was considerably
intoxicated, went into a tavern, at Columbia
avenue and Philip street, last evening, and
while there, was robbed of one hundred
dollars, by two men. The proprietor of the
place witnessed the robbery and had the
alleged thieves arrested. The prisoners
gave the names of William Ash and George
Sailor. This morning they were committed
by Alderman Cloud.
SHOT HIMSELF.—A man named Smith,
residing at Forty-ninth and Aspen streets,
in the Twenty-fourth Ward, shot himself
with a gun this morning about half-past
eight o'clock. He was instantly killed. The
deceased was about 70 yeats of age. He has
been in poor circumstances recently, and, it
is said, had been notified to leave the house
in which he lived. This fact is supposed to
have weighed heavily upon his mind and
led him to commit suicide.
WELL ARMED.--Last night a man named
James Lary, hailing from New York, was
arrested at Fourth and Shippen streets. He
had in his hand at the time a largo bowie
knife, and on his person were found a lot of
skeleton keys. Lary was taken before Al
derman Tittermary and committed to ans
wer the charge of carrying concealed and
deadly -weapons.

The Attempt to Assassinate Judge Field—
iliraeshine Escape.
The following is a correct 'version of the
attempt to assassinate Hon. Stephen' G.
Field, Associate Justice of the United States
Supreme. Court. • Last Sunday morning,
while the Judge was at his table writing,
his mail was brought in, and contained a
small package about four inches square ;
and one and a half inches thick. The
package was enveloped in common white
paper, and on one side had a stamp of the
Pioneer Gallery, San Francisco attached.
The superscription was printed, and evi
dently cut from the title page of the "Cal
ifornia Reports," with the exception of
"Washington, D. C.," which had been cut
out of a newspaper, both of the slips being
pasted on the face of the package.,
The Judge, upon first taking the parcel,
remarked to Judge Lake, who was present,
that it must be a photograph,tuid expressed
surprise at its' reception. - He step pQ to the
window, and providentially discoveriadi ,
when he had- opened it about one-eighth of
an inch, that it was not a photograph, and
,called Judie Lake's attention to the singu
lar' appearance of the boa. Thelatter, upoh
looking at ,it, pronounced it to be a torpedo
.L-and after puttingit in water, took it out to
the Capitol, opposite the rooms of Judge
'Field,.where he, with Mr. Broom', one of the
Clerks of the Supreme Court. examined the
package. • •
These gentlemen finally went into the
carriageway under the Senate steps, and
shielding`themselves behind one of the col-,
nmns, thiew'the box against the wall, shat
tering off the lid and exposing-the contents.
About a dozen copper cartridges had been
placed in the box, with the bullets radiating
from the 'centre, which' formed a space, o
about one inch in diameter. The sides of
the cartridges had been filed through, so as
to afford communication with the powder.
In the little cavity surrounded by cartridges
was fixed a peculiar frictiqn match, re
sembling a small roll of paper, one end of
which was attached to the bottom of the box
and the other to the lid, and arranged so
as to be ignited upon the least
tension that might be caused
by opening the package. Over the match
and cartridges there had been poured a
paste, composed of fulminating . powder and
:alcohol, thus rendering the infernal ma
chine certainito explode. On the inside of
the lid was pasted the following words, also
cut from a newspaper: "October 31st, 1864,
Judge Field this morning decided the
Puebla case in favor of the city." The box
and its contents were sent to the Secretary
of War, who directed an examination of the
package by the Ordnance Department. The
officers of this Department state that it is
the most remarkable torpedo ever brought
to their attention, and that had the Judge
pulled open the box,it would have exploded
with terrible effect.
Judge Field ,has no idea as to the source
of the infernal machine, but from the fact
that it was evidently made by a scientific
man, familiar with such work, and that the
package was too large to be put in the letter
box in San Francisco, but must have been
passed through the post office window, it is
reasonable to believe that the sender of the
torpedo will be brought to justice. The
Puebla case was one involving the virtue of
titles to property, given by the city of San
Francisco, and which was decided in favor
of the city by Judge Field, in 1864, thereby
dispossessing a large number of speculators
and adventurers, who had occupied land as
"squatters." The Judge is at a loss to de
termine whether the infernal machine was
sent by some of these disappointed adven
turers, or by some culprit who has had jus
tice meted out to him by Judge Field, and
who now uses the reference to the Puebla
case to throw suspicion on the wrong track.

[Special Despatch to tte IMletlna
WAssizzaTon*, 'Jan. 18.*=The Waya and

pretty well agreed to everything except its
foreign clause.
The Reconstruction Committee are taking
evidence. They have had several persons
before them, Treasury agents and others,

eight months. The evidence eliciteddoes not

The Secretary of the Treasury gives no
encouragement to the Canadian officials,
who are urging an extension of the time for
the termination of the Reciprocity Treaty.
The Committee on Banking will probably
report against any extension of the present

- Nor Penis—Justice Head.—The PennsYlvardaltall
road Company et al. vs. The Atlantic and Great Wes
tern Railway Company et al. The argument on thin
case was resumed this rowing by Mr. Gibbons, He
contended that the contract between the Catawissa.
Railroad Companyiand the Sunbury and Ede conldnot
be assigned. In having made the transfer to the At
lantic and (treat Western Railway Company, the Ca
tawissa Railroad has put it beyond its power to com
ply with the covenants with the Sunbury and Erie
Railroad Company. He next adverted to the Atlantic
and Great Western Railway Company, quoting from
the Acts of Assembly in order' to defend Its powers
and privileges. The first act Incorporating the Mead
ville Railroad fixed definitely the termini_ of
the road. They must by this act go
to Meadville. Have they gone to Erie? Have
they ever carried a passenger or a pound of fret ha
from Meadville to Erie? Never. When the Legisir
ture directed this Company to give "the
Railroad equal
connections" to the Sunbury and Erie Com
pany, It wee never intended that the Con:
be the destroyer of the Sunbury and , 3 tanroad
Company, then In the course of construction. com
menting upon the charter of the Oompany. Mr. Gib
bons cited authorities In order to establish the point
tkat in all cases of the doiabtfid grant of power. the
doubt is resolved against the Comp any
clatm-
Ina to exercise these powers. BY virtue
of these decisions the Meadville Railroad Company
held to the strictjeerformance of the duties and powers
delegated to it. It cannot escape the constriction of
the railroad from Meadville to Erie. They might have
accomplished it by connections, but theyhave failed to
do it in that way, but availed themselves of this privi
lege of extending their road "from some point thereof
to connect with other railroads leading to or from the
State," and before the construction of their main line
of road they hasten to construct a railroad with a gauge
of six feet, connecting it with the New York and, Erie
Railroad at Salamanca, thus affording a con
tinuous line .
of that gauge extending from
the city °Mew York into the Interior of Ohio, and
passing throuah the ell regions of P lvsuria, then
deflecting trade from the Sunbury and e Balks:Old
Company. The fact is, that this coin has not
constructed one foot of the railroad authorizedbk,its
charter. In reference to the allegation on the other
side, that the act of Assembly had been compiled with
by the, connection with the Philadelphia and Erie
Railroad Company. Mr. Gibbons discussed the sub
ject of"connwfions." The Atlantic and Great Western
Railroad Company "connects" its six feet gauge with
the New York and Erie Railroad, of the same gauge
atSalaman ea, while in oar own state the "connections"
consist incrossdng the Philadelphia and Erie Railroad.
Throw aside all the affidavits on either side, and look
at the law in this case. The Pennsylvania Railroad
Company, in its advertisements, referred to by the
respondents,use the word "connection" in eta commer
cial sense. Admitting Oils particular connection to be
a commercial connection, still, tilt be not "as favora
ble a connection as that made with" the New York and
Erie Railroad, it is not such a connection as is con
templated by the sth section of the Meadville charter.
and if ft be not such a connection it is not a lawful con
nection.
Mr. Gibbons next discussed the validity of the lease
between the parties, and he referred to the various acts
of assembly authorizing such contracts. These acts
should beread together. The first act authorizes com
panies which connect to make contracts by which the
cars of the one company may run upon the road of tne
other. The second act construes this act of 1147 to
mean a grant of authority from one company to lease
its road to another company, and a grant to the lessee
of the right to fix the rate of tolls upon the property
leased. The act of 1861. which extends the provisions
of these two acts to railroads connected directly or by
by means of intervening ratiroa4s. Under these
acts the Western Ceatral Railroad Company
has become a party to this contract
jointly with the Atlantic and Great Western Railway
Company. It has been shown that the Western Cen
tral Railroad Company has no existence outside of the
act by which it was created: that it owns no railroad;
that it has never attempted the construction of a rail
road, and there has been, up to the present day, no
organization of the company except ao far as that may
be interred from the fact that there is
attached to the contract a seal of
a Company and the name of a gentleman represented
to be the President of the Company. Then by what
authority can the Western Railroad Company enter
into any contract or lease with tt e t latawissa Railroad
Company. from wnlch, even if this road was con
structed, it is sepated by a distance of more than
one hundred miles.
The argument of Mr. Gibbons was not closed when
our report closed.
Six° rr-ait DEATEIS.—Two peculiar deaths
occurred eight days ago, at Harpeth river,
near Nashville, where a railroad train was
thrown from the track. T. S. Woodbury,
road master, in the baggage car, was dashed
down, and a metallic coffin fell upon and
crushed his skull. A poor negro woman
sitting by a stove, had it thrown on her,
breaking her ribs, and was literally baked
and burned to death by it before it could be
taken off. A dozen others were hurt.
