Lady Clairvoyant in Trouble.— Miss Tennessee Claffln, a clairvoyant phy sician, is in trouble in Chloago. The papers of that city give the particulars of the affair, of which, the following is the substance: _ln October last a simple-minded man of lie* mont, 111,, named Edward Silver, employed Miss Tennessee to prescribe ior his wife, who was lying dangerously ill. The fee in the case was fixed at sBooy/and a promis sory note given for that amount, payable to Miss Tennessee’s order, and by her depo sited in a bank as collateral for a loan which she had negotiated. The new physician commenced the treatment of the lady, who in a few days expired. Since all this tran spired, Mr. Silver has come to the sensible conviction that he has been defrauded of his money. More than that, the terrible proba bility bas been forced upon his mind that his sad bereavement came all the sooner for the unchristian arts of the clairvoyant phy sician. He filed a bill in the Circuit Court P' praying for an injunction to restrain Ten nessee Claffin and the bank for taking any steps which might render him liable to pay the note above mentioned. The case having been argned, an injunction, as prayed for, was granted. Advices from Tampico, to the 2d inst. Re present Northern Mexico, in a deplorable.

Interesting from Hew Orleans. [By the U. 8. and European Associated Press.] New Obleans, Dec. 12.—The City Co tm esis last night adopted resolutions setting aside a room in the City Hall and all its conveniences for the accommodation of the Congressional Committee to investigate the New Orleans riots. Important from Mexico. New Orleans, Dec. 12. —The New Or leans papers contain to-day additional Mexi can news, furnished by CoL John G. Fisher. Gen. Gastelnan arrived at Vera Cruz, jnst as Ger. Donaly, with his troops, (in the lat ter part ol October), was about embarking. The troops immediately returned to the city of Mexico, and left for Oaxaca on the 261 nof November, recapturing that place from Diaz,who had taken from the Austrian trcops about 3,500-men in brigades, on the march to Oaxaca. Maximilian has about 2.000 Belgians, 15,000 Ausirians, 30,C00 Mexican Imperial ’s's, and 25,000 French troops, armed, cloth ed, fed and paid (including officers), ffitsen days in advance. On the 3d cf December, Maximilian is sued a proclamation deciding his intention to remain in Mexico. A great inducement for Maximilian to re main was the arrival of Miramon and Mar quez from Europe. They pledged them- Eelves to a war with Mejia against the Lib erais. Marquez’s headquarters were at Puebla, and Miramon’s at Gugmapuita. Mejia wrs at San Luis Potosi, where he now is. General Vidanrri has been appointed Special Commissary of the Department of Monterey. The States in Mexico are no longer known bb such, the imperial rule having converted them into Departments, several Slates to compose a Department.: The statement that General Sherman has denied admission in Vera Crnz is untrue. It was supposed that he wished to hold a conference with Cestelnau, and orders were given to the Prefect to pnt an extra train at his disposal, and afterwards a guard coach w-om the railroad terminus, with a hundred French soldiers, and. thus conduct him to the city of Mexico. The Susquehanna anchored about six miles from Vera Cruz, but did not go into the harbor; Instead of the troops going away, there was good reason for believing that more are on :the way. The prospects of Maximil ian were improving. Interesting Dram St. lamls. [By the U’ B.

The Battjp of Mataraoras. - Baltimore, Dec. 12.— Further details o ’ the battle at Matamoras have been received here. * The commander of the assaulting foroas reports the loss of half of his men in the assahlt on Fort Monterey.

It is said that Escobedo boasted that if he had succeeded he would have crossed the river into Texas and wiped out the Yankees. Large numbers of wounded officers of Escobedo’s army had arrived at Browns* vT" -ie. ■ Canales and Escobedo had met and em braced each other in presence of General Sedgwick. . \_ - Fearsofan attack upon the united States forces, while in occupation of Matamoras, had led to extensive preparations for their defence on the Brownsville side of the river, from whence the entire United States mili tary force would have crossed had. it been necessary.
