Dickinson, at the Aeademy of Music, last evening, attracted one of the largest, most intelligent and. most respectable audiences that ever gathered within the wallet of that building. Not only was every seat filled, but the stage and orchestra were crowded and hundreds who were unable to obtain seats were con tent to remain standing daring the entire evening. Miss Dickinson spoke for nearly two hours upon the subject of "My Policy," and she ,used plain words in her descant upon the course of the President, eulogising the Andrew Johinam of the days before and during the war,who was uncompromising in his opposition to secession and treason, and denouncing the Andrew Johnson of , the present time, who is tender to defeated trai tors and only stern and harsh toward con sistent loyalists; "appealing," to We her own, words "from Philip drunk to Philip sober." The words of advocacy of Congress uttered, by the fairspeaker excited the most tumultuous applause.

York Herabla VERA. CUM; MaY 5, 1866.—The atetuner Manhattan, Captain' Turner, arrived here to-day, - bringing New York files to the 25th nit. The:presentation of the Heralds con taining the last batch of official correspond ence on the Mexican queetion to the public produced a profound. sensation. As , this only came to-day, of course we cannot, at this writing, give the "expressed" senti ments of the people, and the "Mexican people" have not had sufficient time to consider it and express their deliberate judgment. Senor Francisco P. I). Almeida, together with other Portuguese gentlemen, lately received a charter from the imperial au thorities, to construct a railroad line from the city of Mexico to Tuspan. It is under stood that the above named gentlemen left Vera Cruz a short time ago for New York; with the object of interesting American capita) eta in the proposed enterprise. The notorious Quantrell has returned to this country. He arrived at Vera Cruz in the steamer Manhattan and immediately thereafter proceeded to Cordova and the city of Mexico. While on the steamer he passed under the name of "Wilson," and was quite free in making the acquaintance of passengers generally. We must cer tainly congratulatetheConfederate colonists on having this "distinguished personage" in their midst. VERA. Cntrz, May . 8, 1888.—On the 24th ult. the French transport Rhone arrived here from Toulon with about one thousand men of the Foreign legion. Rumor says that the import duties areto be increased fifteen per cent. on all foreign merchandise arrivals, also an additional domestic-tax-of ten par canton the existingrates of internal taxes. Windows, doorsq - gt.c., are to be taxed. _ • • Frbm a highly creditable source. I learn that orders have been issued to the French army contractor, from and after the lint day of May next to furnish provisions to the Austrian, Belgian and Mexican soldiers, and also to the contrirgnertlias. I learn also from a reliable source that said troops will receive their pay from the French Tres stuT. We are advancing very fast in civilization --a la' eangrejo. No mail communication with the coast ; no exprets communication, with the interior; no A.merican steamship this fortnight ; no business. The diplomatic rate are leaving this sink ing ship. The Belgian and Italian minis ters have left here. The Austrian Minister is here ; .the English and Spanish Ministers are daily expected here to embark. - Everything was very calm and quiet; anxiety is felt as to the withdrawal of the French troops. Report says that five thou sand are to leave during the month of May. NOUS verrons. Report says that the valiant Governor Jnarista, General Don Alexandra Garcia, and his Secretary Barcena,made an attempt to get off with the plunder they had col lected at Tlacotalpam, by embarking it at Minatitlan for foreign parts, but some more honest subordinates checkmated them in that operation, by stopping the embarka tion. The,amount was merely a bagatelle of two hundred thousand dollars ! The harbor is quite full of shipping bring ing coal for the French. r, The expedition to Tlacotalpam is about to end as its former edition: All the French forces have been withdrawn from there, leaving a Mexican force of say three hun dred men, to be cut up or driven out by the liberal Mexicans, as the Almonte policy is to kill off all the male Mexican population. I suppose this is all right.__The expedition from here to Tlacotalpam, so far, has been without any benefit to the French or im perialist forces. The town is held by four gunboats, but scouting parties sent out of the town have met with serious reverses. The yellow, fever is prevailing at Vera Cruz, and the smallpox at Truxdlo. Mexico CITY, May 6,lB66.—Letters of the 10th April, from Mazatlan, say that the heavy force of French which set out to force their way through Corona's line and join Lozado, failed of their objeckand hearing of the latter's retreat, were forced to return to the city. Another body ef- five hundred French left on the 10th to drive off a band of Liberals which had for along time proved troublesome customers and prevented pro visions and supplies from being sent into the city. Two French war -- steamers are in the harbor to assist in the defence of the place if Corona should venture to, attack it. A letter, dated Mazatlan, April 13, says that the steamer JohnL.Stephens,which left San Franciscoon the 6th for Mazatlan, ar rived at Cape St. Lucas, and anchored about half-Oast three o'clock on the•morning of the 10th, during a fog. The steamer was immediately boarded by t' - oat containing eighteen men, in serapes or Mexican blan kets. As soon as .this party gained the ship's decks they drew revolvers, drove the passengers into the cabins, stationed senti nels at the cabin doors and gangways, and then compelled the captain and pilot to heave anchor and make for La Paz, a small port just: inside the Gall of California. At La Paz they proceeded to search the steamer, and took from her hold forty-six cases, containing seven hundred rifles and a lot of saddles and bridles which hag been shipped from San Francisco to the unpe rialists at Mazatlan.- They also too . * off five hundred-bales of hay, saying that al though of no use to them it should never be made forage of to the imperial cavalry 2t. French passengerivas compelled to pay $2;500 ransom for himself and Mr. Navar rete, who was employed to -conduct the steamer's correspondence, was likewise obliged to ylay $5OO. The leader of this band wits named Frank, a colonel under Corona, in whose name he made the seizure. 'After securing their plunder the party took small boats and went to Allata, and the steamer started for Ctuaymao, near the head of the OtirR'In:LOLE 001MItY. gulf. Orders bad. been given the captain, before sailing, on no account to stop at San Another account says a small steamer sailed from San Flax:disco a few days before the John L. Stephens and that Col. Frank, and his - party used her when they boarded the Stephens. • • , The`United States steamer Saranac is said to' have - arrived at Mazatlan, from Acapulco, op the 12th of April. - • . • On thel.Oth ult.,.a 'company of French soldiers were embarked upon the steamer La Noria, Captain lianrant . , and started. , upon a secret, expedition . probably to the coast of Lower California. Some weeks since a body of imperialists, consisting of Freacb,. ustrmns and Mexi cankleft Durango for the city of Chihuahua, which place is in the hands of the liberabi. - Upon_ratiching Parml,, a rich mining town in the - mountains; upon the borders of the State of, Chihuahua, the -commander of the expedition became - satisfied that he could not effect the capture of Chihuahua with the forces then under his command, and ac cordingly concluded to remain at Parral for further • ordera, or until reinforcements could reach him. In consequence of the aid rendered the liberal cause, subsequent to swearing allegiance to the Emperor, the French commander made a forced levy of ! two. hundred thousand dollars upon the principal inhabitants of Parral and vicinity. • The Liberals have been very active in . Oajaca, on the Pacific coast, north of Te ,huantepec. On,the 26th ultimo they had occupied Pulls and Tlaxuco, two of the principal cities of the State; bat a compe tent force of Austrians had been sent to drive them out. In Jalisco, Sonora, Nuevo Leon and San Luis Potosi the Liberals are also giving the Imperialists much trouble. HAvarta, May 13th, 1666. The circular issued by the Mexican gove i rnment under date of the 30th January, with respect to the ports opened for the entry of foreign vessels and national coasters, having dis crepancies, was declared null and void on the 14th of April last, and has been replaced by the following Under date of the Ist of November last . Bis Majesty has decreed; Article 1.

Pacific Ocean, National commerce—Zihnantanejo ' La Es condida, Tonida ; Zapaluta. The Minister for Foreign Affairs and Navy, Castillo. On April 29 Mr. Ernest Rooting, an Aus trian mining engineer of Chico, was return ing to Pachuca at four in the afternoon, and when very near the town he received two shots from some hidden person or persons, and being wounded in the head, arm and breast, he died in less than two hours. The cause of this treacherous act could not be lecounted for. The agstmalns did not rob bin). He was a man of great probity and capacity, and a distinguished linguist. The engineers of the projected railroad from Mexico to Tuxpan - arrived at Talan cingo on April 21, and at the last dates they had reconnoitred the ground as far as Pa chuca. The French; *lacers at Mazatlan gave a dinner on the 6th inst. to the. French naval and Mexican military officers, and these teuniedinreituartire invitation. - Senor Luis Rubles, the Imperial Commis sary, arrived at Leon on the 21st nit., and on the 24th left for Guanaxnato. It appears by letters from Morelia that the expedition from the capital to the gold pla cers of Michoacan, had proved a complete failure. Most of the party expected to find the grains of that metal on the surface of the ground, and 'having become disappointed, had abandoned the enterprise. Others had continued their investigations, and found some auriferous spots, and had claimed them of the respective mining deputations. Senor Ismael Pina and a Spaniard were try ing to work a mine. Some of the above party had arrived at Morelia, looking for situations, and others intended to explore the State of Guerrero with the means ad ministered to them by government. - It was thought says the Estafette that the rumored reappearance of Porfirio Diaz in the department of Oaxaco was exaggerated. But it was certain that Alvarez was making Guerrero the base of operations and a con tinuous element for resources, as much for the actions of Michoacan as those of Oaxaco, "the pacification of which could never be definitive till the day the imperialists suc ceeded in attacking the 'Panther of the South' in his very den and pursue him till they did away with him." . The £speranza,of Qneretaro, says: "We know that one of the factions which de vastated the department of Michoacan has lately been defeated near the •hacienda of Villachato. Another less numerous .has shared the same fate on the hacienda of Laureles. Some one hundred Juarists, pursued in Michoacan. arrived in Jaral on the 23d of April, but some forces of Salva tierra appearing, they soon disappeared. The next day they crossed the hacienda of Cero Gordo and Molino de Sarabia; but they very narrowly escaped the Imperialist forces of the department of Guanajuato, and a detachment of Trench which were on their way from the' interior. Hence, they could not quarter anywhere, and by all ap pearances they were either destroyed or had dispersed. In the direction of the Sierra de Queretaro none of the enemy had been seen, and the tranquillity : , as uninterrupted." One of the papers of , the capital, speaking of the impending inundation, says : We have looked with much anxiety for some decided action upon the part of the authori ties in reference to protecting the city from overflow. - We fear that it is now almost too late, but the attempt ought certainly to be made.: The method. proposed by the engi neer in charge, which is to enclose the city by a levee and pump the water from the in terior, is certainly the only feasible one. $ If the city • authorities do not negotiate a loan, a system somewhat similar to that which prevails in the United States ought to be adopted. The population of Mexico may be, in round numbers at 175,000; one seventh as:the number of able-bodied males, gives 25000 men, equal to a movement per day of 125,000 yards of earth. - FIRE AT EARRIBBITEG.—Yesterday afire broke out at the stable of - Dick Jonas, in Tanners alley - near South street The stable was soon consumed, and with- it , a horse belonging to 'Jones, 'besides. hay and feed, and other material. The fire spread to the adjacent buildings and partially , destroyed the dwelling house of Jones, and the house ofß. Boyles, shoemaker. On the opposite side of the alley, the restaurant of Geo. Fry, and that occupied by another person, was partially consumed. The fire had gained great headway before the alarm was given, but the firemen when once on hand, quickly extingu ished the flames.—Xfarris- Wrg Patritrt., Santa; Anna. - - Says • to-day's New York Herald: On Thursday last the Common Council of the city of Elizabeth, N. J., paid an official visit to the ex-President of. Mexico at his temporary quarters, the residence ; of Mr. BEd; Elizabethport. Owing to illness; his Honor the, Mayor was prevented from ac coMpanying his colleagues. The hospitali ties of the city were tendered to the General, and hewas invited tovisit the - pub-, lid institutions of Elizabeth. -The reception of - these gentlemen by the general was cor dial and affable. In the course ofliiiremarks, in reply to the tlatteringspixaChis of' several members of . the corporation, he alluded in emphatic terms to the kindness with which be Ead been received in the United States in the year IEB7 by General Jackson and 'Secretary Forsyth. That visit was paid during the Winter seaseon, and the General_ described graphically his dread the cold with which Andrew Tickzott often twitted him, advising him ironically to choose the spring season for his _next visit. Little did 1.• then think, remarked Santa Anna, that my country . could ever be so trodden down and divided as to require me to come to this great republic to ask assistance in her dire extremity in order to free Mexico a second time from the despotic' - grasp of a foreign usurper. The Washington correspondent of the Cincinnati Gazette, makes the following statement, upon his own responsibility, no doubt: • It is known that Santa Anna came to this country through the influence of Secretary Seward. Santa Anna was expected last week, Friday, at which time, it will be re membered, it was telegraphed over the country that Mr. Seward had gone to Au burn; but upon the non-arrival of the atearner Georgia, upon which Santa. Anna was, delayed his trip until Saturday; but still the vessel did not come. On Sunday Santa Anna was announced. On Monday Mr. Seward, accompanied by his private Secretary, went in a private car to Jersey City, reaching Taylor's Hotel in that city at daylight on Tuesday. He registered his own name unofficially, and his Secre tary, upon being requested to register, de clined. Several men from Eliaabethport, where Santa Anna's party is stopping, reached the hotel at a very early hour, and were in waiting for Mr. Seward. The in terview lasted for some time, and from the description given of one of the party he is believed to be Santa Anna himself. Mr. Seward left Jersey City at 11 A. M. the same day for Auburn. This is the second attempt that has been made to get Santa Anna into this country since Mr. Seward's interview with him at St. Thomas last win ter. The first effort failed, although a veßsca was sent specially . for him. Upon the last occasion he was given to understand that if he expected to accomplish anything he must come here at once, because matters were in such a shape that further delay would be fatal to the proposed plans, what ever they were.. Santa Anna's devotion to the liberal cause is believed to be an 'ar ranged blind. Spring and Summer Fashions. Fashion, this season, is pleased to be very gay and very peculiar. Odd little bonnets of the faintest designs form the apex to ob jects constructed on no architectural model save that of the Pyramids, the base being exceedingly wide and broad, and differing from those ancient Egyptian specimens of art only in the , modeling of waist and the projection of arms. - • - Take the whole effect, however, and, save wherethere is unnecessary exaggeration, it is not bad. The contrast of color is plea sant, without being too glaring. Harmony is insisted upon; and though there are many novelties, and great variety in style, ma terial, and trimming, good taste suggests the impropriety of mixing or overloading with ornament any article of costume, and finds much more elegance in quiet sim plicity than in vulgar display. Embroidery has been revived to an extent which renders it a most important element in ornamenting dresses, suits skirts, and arti cles of clothing of all kin ds. Scarcely an article of dress comprised in ladies' and children's wardrobes but is indebted, to this method of producing a highly decorative effect. The fashionable impetus has un doubtedly been given by the beautiful em broidery executed by the GROVER tt BA.ZER. Machine, by the furore which it has excited abroad, and the admiration and patronage which it has received in the highest circles. Not only dresses, cloaks, suits, Balmoral skirts, and the more important articles of clothing are now ornamented with machine embroidery, but parasols (which are after ward dotted, or filled up with beads),slippers both of kid and satin,. and gaiter boots, both -for walking and visiting wear. This fashionable rage renders the posses sion of a GRovER BAELEe. Machine indis pensable to fashionable dressmakers, and most desirable to families where the mother executes most of the sewing, and wishes to dress herself and children handsomely, and, at the same time, economically. Morning dresses are made of cambric, or pivue. - If of the latter, they are either gored, or made into a skirt or short jacket, which is worn with a white tucked chemisette. The gored dresses are beautifully embroid ered down the seams In a narrow and very simple pattern, and sometimes scalloped out round the bottom; the jackets are also em broidered, and the skirts, either in an apron pattern, as a border, or in small pyramids upon the skirt. Striped cambries are very often trimmed with frills of the material ; but plain cam bric dresses are extremely pretty trimmed with bands of cambric of a contrasting color, stitched on with the machine. We hardly know whether this is the proper place to discuss such matters, but we may just mention, for the benefit of house keepers, that the newest and most stylish library-table and piano covers are made of plain light brown, or neutral, shades of cloth stitched upon the edge, and ornamented in the centre with beautiful designs in em broidery machine stitching.
