The lecture of Miss Anna E. 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. Judging by the
unanimous sentiment of. the, audience last
evening, the peculiar policy of Mr. Johnson
has but few, very few . , adiociitegiamong the
Republican, party which by its suffrages
placed him upon the road to the Presidential
succession.,

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

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

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. The
ports herein following shall continue open
to foreign and national commerce: Gulf of
Mexico, Foreign commerce--Sisal, Cam
peachy, Tabasco, Vera Cruz, Tampico, Mata
moras, Carmen,
Taxpan. National cora

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-

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.
