NEW PIIBIJCA.TIONS.
"Armadale," Wilkie Collins's last - novel,
which has been running through Harper's
Magazine, "has just been published in com
plete book form by Harper /t, Brothers. •
Wilkie - Collins has established himself upon
such sure ground by his "Woman in White' ,
and •'No Name " that whatever he writes is
certain to coilLnand•• the 'attention 'of the'
whole reading world. The >reviewer need,
do little more than chronicle the publication.
His praise or censure will have little to do,
with the popularity of the book. "Arma
dale" presents all the same features that,
were most prominent in the author's other:
works. The characters are of much the'
some style. Mystery, plot and counter-
plot run all through the story,
often with most bewildering confusion.
The most astounding improbabilities - mee t
the reader at every step, and even occsa.
atonal impossibilities lend their aid to de-
velope the strange design of the author. The
principal actors are few in number and
powerfully drawn, but• there is a curious:
intricacy about their relations which keeps
the reader constantly at work to preserve
their separate identities. There are many
high-wrought dramatic scenes occuring all
through the progress of the story, which
bring out the peculiar powers of Mr. Col
lins with striking effect. Thousands have
already read "Armadale" in its serial form,
and many thousands more will read it now,
with intense interest. It is for sale by T.
B. Peterson 6,-, Brothers.
Whoever desires a fresh, sound, healthy
novel, with a most interesting plot, well
drawn characters and charming descrip
tions of life in the Cote d'or region of France,
should get "Hand and Glove," by Miss Ed
wards, published by Harper & Brothers.
She makes a droll mistake in speaking of a
"Massachusetts cotton plantation," but her
book is positively delightful, and in these
days of sensation stories, it is most refresh
ing. The chapters on the vintage will be
read with especial pleasure.
Part IV. of the Bible, with Gustave Dere's
illustrations, has been sent to us by Mr. C.
J. Price, 21 South Sixth street. It is the
English edition of Messrs. Cassell, Fetter
Galpin, and subscriptions may be made at
Mr. Price's. The illustrations of the num
ber are fine, of course, the first one, "The,
Prayer of Jacob," being strikingly so. The
engraver is H. Pisan, who is especially suc
cessful In reproducing Dore's designs.
Facts and Fancies.
Some of the London. Club men were face
tious over their losses by Overend,Gurney
Co. A young barrister, who was supposed,
as a friend suggested, to be "quite upet" by
the loss of five hundred, replied, "Not at
all; I only lost my balance."
At Fort Wayne,lnd. few days ago,a man
stole a canal boat loaded with goods and
towed it to Toledo, from whence it was
brought to Buffalo and transferred to the
Erie Canal. The thief must have been a
sort of Tow-leader himself.
Mr. Charles Dickens has an engagement
with Messrs. Chappell for thirty evenings
readinga,mainly in the provinces. He reads
entirely from his own works,and draws fifty
pounds, and immense houses. One would
think that a man who could draw immense
houses could draw more than fifty pounds.
The Boston Post very absurdly asserts
that "League Island is so unhealthy that no
man can live upon it without shaking the
clothes off his back with fever and ague."
We admit that, compared with League
Island,the sites suggested by New England
are no great shakes.
A young girl, named Molly Mohan, ac
companied one of the Fenian regiments
from Wisconsin to the field as its "daughter.".
She is said to be highly educated. She wears
a short woollen dress and trousers,on which
is embroidered the Irish harp in silk. A.
new way of "harping on mee daughter."
We congratulate Molly that she was allowed
to sport her embroidered trousers without
getting into any deadly breeches.

Another Express Robbery.
] From the St. Louis Democrat.]
The United States Express Company has
again been victimized to the tune of at least
$12,000. The robbery occurred about three
o'clock on Friday„morning last, on the
train between Lee's Sulmnit . and Pleasant
Hill, on the Pacific Railroad. The train
started at the usual hour from Kansas City.
It is customary for the express messenger
to take a nap until the train arrives at War
rensburg where he generally has business
to attend to.
Captain Richard Ivers, the messenger in,
charge of the money packages of the United
States Express Company, went to sleep as,
usual, shortly after the train left Kansas
City. The train stepped to wood two miles,
beyond Pleasant Hill, and it was there that
the messenger discovered that during his'
nap some one had entsred the car, un
locked the safe and carried off all the money
packages, estimated at about $12,000. At
the wood station a man named Austin M.
Faulk got off the train, with a carpet sack
in his hand. As soon as the robbery was
discovered, Faulk was arrested,. The
money, however, was not found in his pos
session and the probability is that if he
stole it, he threw it off the train on the road
side,with the intentionef going back after it.
We are informed that papers were found
in Faulk's possession, showing that a rob
bery of the kind was contemplated, and im
plicating the fireman on the train, whose
name we did not learn. We think if Capt.
Ham Best., and the other detectives wno
"worked up" the other robbery, were sent
for, they could soon find the stolen money,.
and get a full confession from the robbers.
It appears that the key of the safe was
taken from the pocket of the sleeping mes
senger, and - was returned to its place after
the safe had been rifled of its contents.

storation of the

Acme of His

General Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna
issues an address to the Mexican people,
which we condense as follows. He, opens
by alluding to the trial to which nations are
subjected for their good and gives Mexico
as a prominent instance in point. He pro
ceeds to urge that his own conduct as ruler
of that country was that of a patriot He
speaks of his ejection from • Mexico by Gen
eral Bazaine, and while admitting that he
may. have erred he declares that he did
everything in good faith and with an eye to
his country's welfare. He thus cloies :
A bandage covers the eyes of our people
and my own. We have Jointly . erred and
suffered, and we have now warning and ex
perience. lam not egotistic and I desire to
take part in repairing our error.
Where is the Mexican who can refuse my
services without incurring the opprobrium
of history, or deny me the right to tight, and
die if necessary, in defence of our desolate
hearths? If it is desired to achieve a solid
and enduring peace, is it right or just to turn
the back upon an old soldier of the nation
who only asks his countrymen for a spot of
where he can stand and fight
against the usurpers of our rights? Who
is there that has sufficient authority to say
to me, "Stand back! you are a Mexican, but
you cannot be allowed to draw your sword,
as of yore, in defence of the country which
gave you birth, and of the Republic which
you yourself founded." Upon what prin
ciple, whether liberal or conservative, could
such injustice be upheld? In the great,
struggle of our country no element however
insignificant it may appear, that can Paused
to the advantage of the nation can be con
sidered useless. Further, I perceive, in
view of the facts already stated, and of the
events that have taken place in our country
during the last five years, that the general
tendency of the people is in favor of a Re
public, and that a monarchy is an impossi
bility in Mexico. In Spanish America the
throne is the forerunner of the scaffold.
Party sentiment must not be made the cri
terion of the course of contemporary actors.'
It rests with history to give an impartial ver
sion, and I am certain that history will do
me justice.
Stand together, my countrymen! Let us
consign all each recriminations to oblivion,
for they are detrimental to our country. I
have given an explanation of my public
acts, and in like manner I am ready to give,
any guarantees for my sincerity that may
be required. Do not forget that domestic
dissension when the soil of oar country is;
being profaned by foreign invaders is equiv
alent to desertion in the face of the enemy,
and that, though there is no law whereby
it can be punished, yet we must pass
through the ordeal of an inflexible and
avenging posterity, which will reward only
self-denial, patriotism and true magnanim
ity,.
juarez is a good patriot and Ortega is a
worthy son of Mexico. Why are they not'
united? 'Why augment, through their dis
union, the afflictions of our fellow-citizens?
I hope yet to see them friends. ft is not for
me to say who has a right to the Presidency,
nor on whose side is the law; my object is to
avenge the affront offered to our country by
driving far from her midst the implacable
tyrants that oppress her. Detail dissensions
among our compatriots cease, and let all
hatred be reserved for the foreign domina-:
tion that covers us now with ignominy and,
shame. Juarez and Ortega should put an
end to their resentments by a cordial em
brace. Lcing and strenuously have the de
fenders of the republic struggled in Mexico,:
and, notwithstanding suth great heroism,sh
firm a constancy, and so much sacrifice, the'
work is to-day no further advanced than'
it was in the beginning.
By reason of my antecedents, of my
position in -the conservative party, and
even of my long absence from the country,
I believe myself to be the one called upon
to, reconcile all minds, setting the example'
of submission to the constitutional govern
ment, as I now sincerely do. Thus I per-,
form a patriotic duty, I obey the impulses
of my own heart, and I satisfy the desires
of hundreds of Mexicans who have called
me to action. It will notsurprise me to find
my conduct misconstrued and base inten
tions attributed to me, inspired by egotism.
I expect that already; I am prepared'
for all. But, I shall, nevertheless, feel
for my country at the sight presented
by some of my fellow citizens rejecting'
all association with me in these solemn
moments of our country's life. I shall
have fears lest our past experience and the ;
warnings which we have received prove of:
no avail in producing union. Those who
so oppose me will have given an eloquent
explanation• of our past - misfortunes ; but
let them take note that I will never cowardly ;
abandon the cause of the Republic. Should'
my hopes be frustrated by unexpected:
events, or through the influence of bad pas
sions, I shall have fulfilled .my duty at
all events, and ' the world can judge
whether others have done theirs
more faithfully 'than I have. My heart is
young enough and my arm is strong
enough to take part in the glorious struggle
which Is destined to achieve the second in- ,
•
dependence of Mexico. I. feel that this is
in accordance with my antecedents,• my po
sition, my years, and the glory which I de
sire for my name. Ido not wish to give up
the sole ambition that impels and rules me
—namely, to drive our oppressors beyond
the ocean, tore-establish the republic, and
then withdraw to private life once more.
No throne on earth could tempt me from
, OUR WHOLE COUNTRY.
that retirepaent, and I solemnly declare that
on the day of victory I will demand no
other reward.
Let us advance and unite the standards of
our country which have been torn by the
hands of the usurpers. Let us set again,on
its sacred pedestal . the 'statue of liberty,
thrown down, by the invaders. -Let us give
no rest to the tyrant who oppresses us. He
has changed - our 'vast plains into terrible
deserts, where the hones of our brethren, '
immolated on the altar of duty or victims
to the hired assassins of an empire, lie
bleaching. He rains the nation's exchequer
and makes monetary contracts abroad that
are unwarrantable, believing that it will be
easy for .him to throw their weight upon the
shoulders of our martyred people. The
Auebrian prince has spread. a veil of
mourning over the glory of our annals, and'
in place. of the prosperity which he pro- '
raised he has loaded us with misfortune and
covered us with contempt and ignominy.
Thousands of Widows and , orphans cry out
for vengeance. Let us avenge them, corn
patriota !,=Union and fraternity be among
us until we accomplish this!'
It is now time, Mexicans, to forget for
ever our peat contentions and to make a
strenuous effort,- at once terrible and sim
ultaneous, against our common enemy.
Thetrem en dou wonslaughts of our indomita
ble soldiers will bring the reveille of liberty,
joy to the hearts of mothers and rejoicing to
our country. Heaven grant that the con
tentment which I foreshadow be not dis
turbed' by, new fratricidal dissensions !
Union shall be my watchword before the
tight. Union, again; after our victory.
God alone is infallible, and it would be a
monstrous presumption on my part, were I
to set myself np as tree from error du
ring my long public career; but, with my
hand on my heart, I can say that never has
my will been an accomplice in my faults,
but rather the impotence of human nature
to accomplish good in the absolute.
Trost to the sincerity of my words and
intentions. I cannot, I should not, nor will
I close the book of my life with a falsehood.
I only seek for my tomb a new laurel tree,
whose shadow shall cover it in the midst of
peace.
Let us hasten the hour of our nation's
triumph. Confide in my words, and be
ready.
Down with the empire ! Long live the
republic! A. L. DE SANTA ANNA.
Llizabethport, N. J., June 5, 1866.
Terrible Street Collbsion in Cblea,To.
The Chicago Post of the 7th inst. says:
About one o'clock this morning a fire broke
out in the Metropolitan Block, and promptly
on the alarm being sounded, the steamer
Wiinomy started - out, and, dashing along
the street toward the scene of action, it
reached the railroad crossing of the Burling
ton and Quincy Railroad on Sixteenth
street. There everything was quiet. There
were no signal lights shown, nothing to
give warning of danger. Without slacken
ing its speed the steamer bounded en to the
rails, and the same instant the men in
charge of it saw a locomotive dashing down
upon them at the rate of 15 miles an hour.
They had but an instant to think of their
position. Before any of them had time even
to leap from his place the locomotive was
upon them. There was a crash, a terrible
concussion. and the next instant the
splendid team of horses were lying, on the
track, mangled and dead, the steamer was
standing a shattered wreck behind them,
and the men were scattered around in every
direction, and lying stunned and bewildered,
neither of them being able for a time to
realize the nature or extent of the disaster
which had occurred. The engineer of the
locomotive was among the first to compre
hend the situation,, without waiting to as
certain the extent of the damage which his
criminal negligence had occasioned, he pru
dently got oil his engine and made off. Had
he been going at the prescribed rate of four
miles an hour ' the "Economy," which was
drawn by the best team belonging to the
fire department, would have been clear
across the track before a collision could
have occurred.
The noise of the collision soon brought a
number of people to thespot, who proceeded
to examine into the condition of the men
who had been thrown from the steamer.
One of the first they encountered was Dan
Hart, the driver of the Economy, who was
found lying at a considerable distance from
the wreck of the steamer. He was taken
up quite dead, having been evidently killed
instantly on the collision taking place.
Joseph Stoltz, a pipe na an. was found jam med
in between a shanty and:the track, and so
severely hurt that no hopes are entertained
of his recovery. Alfred Pendleton received
a serious injury in the back. Chris. Good
man, a pipen3an, had his leg badly_ hurt
below the knee, and Tom. Cooper, .engineer,,
bad several injuries more or less serious..
Both the horses were instantly, killed.
mediately upon the accident being reported:
to the Fire Marshal, a detachment of police
were sent to the spot, who promptly took
charge of the ,sufferers. The locomotive
was found to be but slightly injured, but
the front part of the steamer was nom
p'etely smashed. Until the inquest is held
upon the body of the unfortunate Dan Hart,
it will be impossible to say definitely in
how far the engineer of the locomotive is
lcupable, but at present the general impres
sion is that it was solely through his reck
lessness that the catastrophe occurred.
Pennsylvania Crops.
ALLEGHENY COIINTY.—Since the late
rains the prosp . ect for an abundant hay crop
is very promising. ' The tillers of the soil
are consequently in a happier frame of mind
than when their eyes rested on nothing but

HANAN*, June 9th, 1866.—The French
steamer, Panama, from St. Thomas, brings
news from Venezuela; wllich I send you by;
first conveyance.
The dates from Caracas are to the 24th of,
May. - The papers are filled with - the impor
tant question prevailing throughout the,
country relative to the attitude the republic •
should assumein the actual conflict between
Spain and the republics of the Pacific.
The Caracas Federalisto of the 9th ult. re
fers to the debate which had taken place in ,
Congress with respect to the President's
message, - *herein he communicated to that
body the news of the bombardment of via
paraiso, and expressed his desire to know
the policy which Congress might think pro
per to adopt on the occasion. A committee
was appointed accordingly, the proceedings
-of which we find in papers of a more recent
date. They submitted to both houses a re
solution that Venezuela should unite her
self with Peru and Chile. The resolution
was adopted; but the President vetoed it as
rash and impolitic. This course on the part
of the Executive produced a riot among
certain classes of the population, who at
tacked the Spanish Legation, destroyed the
archives and committed all kinds of ex
cesses. The ringleaders of this disgraceful
affair were arrested, tried and punished.
The government are determined not to com
mit themselves by an imprudent alliance
with Chile and Peru in the war with Spain,
finless it should appear that the latter
harbored intentions against the independ
ence of the Spanish-American republics,
which no one alleges.
The Minister for the Interior had issued a
circular with reference to the neceesary
security to Spaniards resident in the Re
public.
The Minister of Finance had made an ar
rangement with the Dutch banking house
of Messrs. I. A. Jesuram & Son, whereby
the latter engage to enpply the government
from the ISth of May to the 18th of January
next with the sum of five thousand dollars
daily, and in reimbursement thereof they
were to receive orders on the custom houses
of Laguayra, Puerto-Cabello, Bolivar City,
and Maracaibo. A further loan to the Govern
ment of $134,000 was also arranged for by the
same parts, duly guaranteed by the Govern
ment.
Conflagration in New York—Destrnetion
or an Armory- Loss $30,000.
- [From to-day's Now York W0r03,1
At an early hour yesterday morning, a
destructive conflagration occurred at - the
junction of West Houston and Bedford
streets,
,involving the destruction of the
Starr Armory and considerable damage to
the adjoining property. The fire brokeout
at about 2A. M. on the first floor of the
four-story building No. 180 West Houston
street, occupied by G. W. Gilbert as a horse
shoeing and blacksmith shop. The flames
spread rapidly to the upper stories of the
building, and also to the upper floors of the
adjoining buildings, Nos. 152, 184, and 186,
and in the same street, whichcomprised the
Starr Armory owned by W.O. & W. S. Starr.
Here there were a large number of muskets
and other fire-arms undergoing the process
of cleaning and repairing. A greater portion
of the muskets had been recently purchased
at government sales,and were loaded. They
bad been stored in the armory in that con
dition, and when the fire reached them, and
they became heated, a volley of musketry
was the result, spreading consternation
among the bystanders, and causing quite
en excitement among peaceful inhabitants
in the surrounding tenements. The police
on the ground formed a more extensive
cordon around the burning buildings, and
prevented any but firemen from passing
while the miniature bombardment was kept
up at short intervals for several hours. For
tunately none of the muskets were pointed
towards the street, and thus no one was in -
jured by the dischargeof musketry. In the
meantime the firemen were at work endea
voring to extinguish the flames, but did not
succeed until the three upper floors of Nos.
180, 182, 184 and the fourth floor of No. 186
were entirely burned out.
The loss of Messrs. Starr on stock and
machinery is computed at $10,000; insured
for $5,500 in the Home, of New Haven; Al
bany CityaridCommonwealth,of New York.

the premises were owned as follows : 1;000 '
muskets by Schuyler, Hartley & Graham,
of 19 Maiden lane; 600 by W.J. Syms &Bro., ,
300 by Cooper & Pond, and 400 pistols by
Thos. Jones, of 10 John street. All these '
were destroyed, and were not insured. '
The second floor of the corner building is
occupied by Matthew Higgins, manufac
turer of sewing machines. Mr. Higgins
bad 200 completed machines on hisprenuses
which were all destroyed;loss about $10,000;

The third floors of 182, 184, and a portion
of 186, were occupied by Chas. Landsman,
weaver of hemp hose; loss, $500; insured for
$9OO.

the conviction that slavery ought notto sur

democratic members be voted first for the -
abolition of slavery in the District of Coluni- ! ,

was appointed by him Naval Officer for the
Port of New York. It was perhaps the first
indication given by the President of his fu

existing between the President and Mr.
Odell in a great measure accounted for the
selection.
Funs IN SAN Fuarintsco.—A Califonia
correspondent writes: There is no necessity
for furs any time in this climate, but we
do have rich, lovely furs lust from the north
coast, and' over from the Raesian posses

that she owes society and herself, to have a
set of fuis. They are to be found in every

family differences_ and domestics imbroglios
are settled by the evapromise of a set of
furs. There is hardly_any style of dinnestie
grievance that cannot be settled. The court
is saved many a divorce trial by these tear
dryers. - The time was when other things
sufficed,, in early days— a set of quartz

Furs are at present the recognized currency
for serious outbreaks. A silk dress or even
theatre tickets may do for little short
comings, late-comings, not coming at all,
or inability to find the keyhole, or distin
guish the number after the gas had been
extingnished, &c.; but for real, serious and
warlike demonstrations, there is no balm,
nothing so soothing as fors. You can't set
tle much of a row with a bonnet, either:
there is too little of them; they are no longer
current. I don't know how far agood four

ringlets might go: but as they are among
the necessaries of life, the indispensables,
they probably don't count for anything.
SINGULAR COINCIDENCE. —Thu Gettys
burg Sentinel says : We learn, with regret,
ihat Mr. Isaac Wolf, Jr., of Berwick town
ship, in this county (abrother of the County
Commissioner, Samuel Wolf, Esq.), had
leg broken a week or two since, by the fall
ing of a tree. It appears that the tree Mr.
olf was chopping down, in falling, caught
his leg, breaking and crushing it, most hor
ribly. Medical assistance was summoned,
and he is now doing well. This circumstances
is quite a singular coincidence—being bat
week before last that we announced the ac
cident befalling the County Commissioner,
in which he' had his leg broken—that two
brothers should meet with similar accidents
under different circumstances, in the short
space of a' few weeks. -

A STRIKE ENDED.— Says to-day's New
York Times': The ship carpenters' strike
in thikcity, which commenced on the 2d of
April, the mechanics demanding that eight
hours should constitute a day's work, has
terminated. The men have returned' to
their work under the old system. The
calkers, who also struck for the same,
still make a show of holding out; but so
many of them have returned to the ship
yards that there is no scarcity of hands.
The eight-hour system is thus proved to be
impracticable in New York.
POSTAL MATTERS SOUTEL,-Of the recently
established or re-opened Post Offices in the
South, there were very few in which Post
masters or Postmistresses appointed could
not take the oath. The people generally_are
beginning to understand that the oath is
irdispensable,that every Postmaster's bond
must be approved by the Department before
a commission is sent, and that no Post Office
can be put in opp.ration until the Postmaster
has that commission.
