The Condition of Mexico. The affairs of Mexico seem to be reaching a crisis.' It is scarcely possible to conceive of a country, possessing,any claims to civiliza tion, getting into a',Wqrse condition than idle is at present; and "almbStany - change that may occur must be fOr' - the bettet. , Subject, as she long has bean to a•4lnceessierrof civil wars, and to the moat frightful disorders; she is now in amore deplorable state than ever before. Industry is paralyzed, for her people have no ,incentive to labor, as their possessions aro liable tojo, stripped from ,them at any moment. ' The which chase each other through -the land, ravage• the whole coun try, and are as indiscriminate in their ex actions as the cow-boys of America ,in n ,the days of oar Revolution. 'ln the country, the products of the farmer are consumed by these I devastating bands, and in the towns the mer 'chants and business men are robbed of their •substance hy forced exactions, which strip them of a very large portion of their pos edssions.:', Even the churches are net se cure from these'attacks, for they aro stripped of their gold and silver ornaments and images, which WO melted down to replenish the coffers of the warring chieftains. Any property which is transported along the highways is sure to be stolen, unless it is very strongly guarded. ' Two Governments, each' claiming supreme authority, assume to possess the ruling power of the whole nation, and un settle - by', conflicting arbitrary decrees,_ the whole legal organization of the country. Life and property aro totally insecure. All that is done by,those who claim the right of govern ing- the country seems rather calculated to thwart the very objects for which all legiti that() Governments are instituted, than to ad vance ,them. „Every leading point of the country has been subjected to a succession_ of frightful ravages. • If these evils 'were confined exclusively to the :people of Mexico,' however much we might deplore them, they would not necessa .l:ifycall for any action on the part of foreign nations; but there are many. citizens of other countries who have large interests in Mexico, and are, located there as merchants, traders, &c.; and upon them these ilisordirs fall with terrible force. Upon them the heaviest ex actions are thrown. They meet with no justice, and no mercy. Their goods are summarily seized .and confiscated. If they remonstrate they aro thrown into horrible prisons, and, not unfrequeritly; their'lives are taken. - Even our Minister. at Meiico has, been insulted, and none of ourrepresentatives aro treated with the re spect which their positions' entitle them to. Meanwhile, the hostile Spanish fleet is cruising upon' the coast of the country, and it is sup posed that one of the leading parties in Meal co sympathises to some extent with the Span iards, and that an Intrigue is on foot, under the auspices of France, Spain, and a Mexican party, -to establish a sort of Spanish and French protectorate over the country. Two features -in, the present condition of Mexico, therefore; demand the attention and prompt action - of our Government : First, the repeated outrages inflicted upon our citi zens, and the cavalier treatment of our repre sentatives. There is but little use in having a foreign policy at all if our citizens can be, plundered and murdered with impunity by a nation with which we are nominally at peace. Second, we cannot permit, under any circum stances, a European Government to regulate and control the domestic affairs of an Ameri can Republic.„ _lf.Ftance, Spain, or England is to be al -lowed to govern Mexico, we must abandon fett3Ver thecherished Monroe doctrine, and be content to allots' , European Powers to pied :die as officiously in the affairs of our continent as tliey,do hi those of their own.

No. 218 South Fifth street. DEAR Bin : I was very mouth Surprised to read the proceedings of a meeting of the stockholders of the }lank of Pennsylvania held on Saturday last. Kr had not seen the call for the meeting; I had received no notice of it or of Mr. Craven's inter'. llon`to,oall it; ,nor did I know it was to be held until after I saw the proceedings published, or I should most certainly have attended to say what I desire to say here. I have never asked the stook holders of the bank to assist, by counsel or in toy way, except to furnish any ovidonoe within their knowledge, in the prosecution against Messrs. Alltbone and Newhall now pending. 'About the second of Juno last I received a corn munioation' from the present President of the Bank, Mr. Craven, which led to a correspondence, and a continued intercourse between a committee of the stockholders and myself. These , gentlemen Professed anxiety , to aid me in' drape nding prose cution to the utmost of their power In every way, suggesting, if r thought the 'Assistance of further counsel desirable, they would, at any time I wish ed, employ any gentleman of the bar I suggested to sestet ' I did not'then, es I. do not now, think anoh as 'listen's° necessary ; and no Informed thorn, adding that if at any time I thought it desirable I would let' them' know. Boma days after the last post ponement of the ease, on the let Natant, in cense guano. of matters not necessary to mention, I deemed it prudent and desirable that these stook holders, who had taken an interest In the proceed- Inge,and were eolloitous of an investigation of the affaire of the Bank, should' hade some legal gen-, Boman to represent their tutored, if they thought it at all concerned in the approaching trial, and I no Informed Mr.-Oraven.

The battle between 'noun the First, Au tocrat of the Opera, mid the Editors of the Courrier des A'tats=Unix, has ended. It re. ambled a tempest in a teapot, while it lasted. Both belligerents fired parting shots, ore they marched off the field, each claiming the honor of war and the triumph of victory. ULLMAN; who, by the way, does not repeat his confident (and laughable) aslurance that PICOOLOMLNI'S father "has, from a pardona ble family pride, instituted legal proceedings against MASSERAS—ULIMAN merely promises to prove that Picoorionatt is entitled to boar .that family name, and that he was himself wrong in calling M. Maiosnate.s "a hungry Frenchman," since ho is more of a thirsty one. The delicacy and wit of this equlvoque are delightful. On the other hand, Monsieur MAssonne, the delinquent French editor, declares, in hispart ing missive, that somebody whom be lately met in Philadelphia assured him "that her fa ther's real name was CLUMENTLNI ; that her mother alone belonged to the Piccolominl fam ily, and that the latter name had only been resorted to when the young prima donna as. cended the stage, by the advice of her mana ger at the time, Emma." More than this, M. MASSER/LS published this, as gossip, in his paper. He adds, what we can readily believe, that he wanted to laugh, not at the singer, but at her manager. He says : " When an artist has been presented to the public, not only as a prima donna, but also as a princess and the niece of a cardinal—when managerial puffs have perverted her nobility and parentage into elements of attraction and inducements to cu riosity, it is an undeniable right for a journal ist to unveil what he is justified in consider ing an attempt at imposition on the public." Mr. ULLMAN has carefully ay - Wed declaring that PacooLommt is .niece to the Cardinal of that name. He has himself given her passport in evidence of her being only a Countess and not a Princess. A correspondent of the Even tag Post, In New York, thus plausibly ac counta'for the dubiety of thalittle woman's name "Some two centuries ago, a nobleman of the name of Count Clomentini, under the law of fide& com- Immo , left his estate and title to the eldest son of the Sienna branch of the Picoolomini family, with the condition that the title and estate should con tinuo to descend to the eldest eon in a direct line. The estate and title-have remained in the family over since, end the present Count Clementini le the senior brother of - tho father of Signorina Pio oolomini, now performing at the Academy of Mu sic. The estate is extensive and the income eon. siderable: The present Count being without issue, tse estate and title will descend at his death to the father of the prima •donna, and after him to her brother, a young lad, nowhere. " Throe oircumstanoesmay explain the confusion that seems to have arisen between the names of Piooolominl and Clementini. "The family consists of Mademoiselle Pieoolo• mini, her father and mother, the Count and Coon. tees Carlo Piooolomini, a younger sister, and an only brother, a young lad of fourteen, allot whom accompany her everywhere in her travole, as she never consents to any engagement without previ ously making. a stipulation to this effect. Her mother belongs to a patrician family of Sienna, hor maiden name being Teresa Hort Pannilini." One thing we wish to say, ere we quit " The Princess."

When we say that Madame easzaniga, on her reappear:time hero last night, had the most enthu slastio reception whieh a house full of admirers could give her, and that she sustained the charac ter of Lucretia Borgia with her accustomed power, wo really record all that a journalist need relate. Arm-fulls of boquets were showered down upon her, and the number of times she was oalled out would puzzle us to count. She acted splendidly—but wo must say that her singlng , was not as'good as we have hoard it. She was a little hoarse, and her voice is not to be com pared with Madame COlson's, in which therp not a harsh note,.

BY MIDNIGHT MAIL. Letter from "Occasional." (Oorroopoodortoo of Tho Prom.] WASHINGTON, Nov. 22, 1858 I perceive that a rumor floats through the jour• nate, as well West as East, .that the expedition of Lieutenant Beale is endangered by surrounding tribes of warlike Indians. There is no fear in the minds of those who know Lieutenant Boole, Bar ry Edwards, his first assistant, and the "good mon and true" who are with them and are willing to follow their fortunes to the utter verge of human possibilities. As a general thing lam a sceptic unless proofs are adduced to satisfy my exaoting judgment; but in this instance I have only to re member that Lieutenant Beale, alone and on horn book, bore, during the Mexioan War, the instruc tions of our Government across Mexico, in the shortest space of time, through the enemy's lines, beset by robbers and Blexioan outlyers, from the main army ; thatin California he brought provision and reitiforeements to our weakened and almost nominal force; that he has organised caravans of camels to thread the devious and dangerous ways to the Pacifie from thesioh bosom of the Missis sippi; that his energy and courage and abilities aro cherished as honori of their own In California, in Virginia, and in Pennsylvania, like the memory of Benjamin Franklin, is beloved in Boston as well as in Philadelphia, to feel confident that the wagon road will be completed over the 35th parallel, and in a manner that will force from even the coldest heart the warmest enthusiasm of praise. Lieut. Boole has a force of 200 men—all of them devoted to their commander. The Indian force must •be large and well-disciplined—larger and better disciplined than that which hurled itself against Col. Wright 7 —to make any show of stand against Beale' or Barry Edwards. It is pleasant to Pennsylvanians to notice with what oonfideneis and quiet the War Department contemplates the operations of this expedition. Not a shadow of fear or doubt crosses its mind. Then, if it is con tent, who his a right to be dissatisfied ? Mr. Cobb Is playing a game Just now that is not at clear as crystal, I loan admit that he is an Archimedes ; but It must be confessed. at the same time, that while he would move a world (financially) like , the Fame geometrician, he can nowhere find a fulcrum for his operations. Last year he estimated that the expenditures of the Government would be $74,000,000. Thin he was re glared to do under the law of 1840. Congress was afterwards compelled to appropriate over $90,000, 000. There was a alight mistake on hie part of some $20,000,000. Necker, and the celebrated :financier Law, would have lost their hoods for a mistake the tithe of that. Not eo with Cobb. Be is tickled with the dodge, and this year estimates for only $50,000,000! Let us look at this ? Last year we had no war With . Paraguay. One of the Raritan mudecows, In attempting to get to its destination with a load of coal, has, like Job, only escaped by the skin of its teeth. This attempt, on the part of the Adminis tration, to navigate the seas with canal-propellers, reminds one of the man in ancient mythology who essayed to course through the air with artificial wings and got a broken neck for hie pains. Of a certainty the war with Paraguay must increase the expenses, of Government. Then there is the item of transportation. Lest year It was immense; this year it is more, and runs up to $9,000,000 !

MEETING OF THE BOARD OF TRADE—THE Apollo: TAX —A stated mcetina of the Association was held last evening, Vice President Morton in the chair. Mr. ➢lodget, Secretary, read tho minutes, which ware adopted . Mr Busby, of the ape' fat committee on wharfage, annonnoad that the committee was not ready to report. On motion, the committee was continued. The same gentleman read • report on the auction tax. The re port goes into the subject with elaboration ' opening with a etatement that in New York $0.82 will admit a firm in the ¬ion businese. In Phi adelphla auction eers are divided into two classes, subjected eeverally to the tax of $2.000 for one ease and $7OO for the second. The committee can see no reason why thie particular nines of nel. ass should be subjected to such an operetta tax. The auction business Is a highly important kind of business,and we summed only In driving this trade from our c ity by thin onerotia Brett= of license. The committee has not lost eight of the mock suction busi ness, but they do not see that a heavy licence purifies it; besides. this business cannot thrive for • long time, for the infamous notoriety Whist; follows its practice moon drives the Peter Punka' , off The course of New York affords a marked contrast to the Pennsylvania erstem, and a marked decline can be shown wittin the last 02 years, in the auction business done In Philadelphia. $0 Niue: The auction taxes in Philadelphia, In IP4B, were over $OB,OOO ; in MO it fell to 153,000; In 1857 it amcnnted to $lO,OOO. Nor is this the only evil. The crowds who w mld all onr hotels, and throng our warehouses, in pursuit of auction goode, are dt iron from the city. The revenue Or the State is decreased, and the business shrinks year by year The report was clear, able, and lucid. and was tigned by Mears, G. L. Busby and William B. Thomas, a minority of the committee. It was stated that one member of the committee bed been absent, and now heard the report for the oret time. On the question of its adoption, Mr. Ste!emote op poetd the report quite strongly. He thought the Penn sylvania auction laws were judicious. and should stand. It would need more than the mere amortise of the report to prove that minters of dorms , worth of trade were driven from the city by our laws. The gen- Monsen also speak of the decrease of the revenue of the State; and yet, the report proposes to strike off all the present revenue of the Oommonwealth ! It wee not worth while to argue the question In the abatraat. The quest'on Is simply thine would any gentleman in business don't, to have an auct'on store in the saute line of trade eetablishei In the same square with himself? The sneaker claimed that the auctioneers ought to be taxed higher than ether business men, because when other trades are at the lowest ebb the auctioneer's Wei nman flouriabes best. In the oriole of the year 1847, the auction taxes were unusually high, from this reason. Besides, the auctioueee need not be au expert in any line of business ; he must not invent time, labor, and money to render him an expert in any line, although he may sell any kind of gouts The auctioneer, with a nn der:du-eked &tore, may sell $5,000,000 of goods, while a Jobber with a store of the came Aka, will not aell a tithe of this amount. There are other rOSUMOS which the speaker briefly referred to. The report was thee, on motion, so opted. Mr. Busby then suggested that an the report had been accepted. the tame action should tx.• taken with regard to petitions to the Legislature no was decided upon w th tegard to the half-pilotage tix Mr. Heron said he wee not aware that toy notion in reference to the half-pilotage tax had been taken, but on the reading of a resolution adopt. , ' nt the last meet ing, he moved Its reconsideration. Not agreed to. Mr. Busby then offered a resolution providing for the circulation of petitions to the Legislature, asking for the repeal or modltbaation of the sec ion tax Mr. Steinmetz refe red to the slimness of the attend. once at this meeting, and said that we ought not to take ao'ion under ouch circumstances IYe have nearly two months in whith to get up these petitions, and he thought a MOO general expresaion of public opinion ought to be obtained Besides, the auotioneers hare not asked for our interfereoce He further remarked that Philadelphia bought for sign goods in New York, because the conveniences of trade are there; hut he did not believe that money could be made by buying Philadelphia goods there and bringing them back. After some dissuasion, the resolution was unani mously postponed until the next stated meeting of the Board Mr Ludwig moved that the report, which had beep accepted, be recommitted to the committee Agreed to. The Board then granted permission to Mr A. tier. ron to offer e. few remarks on the subjeot of the half.pl lenge tax He thought that befoie we made provision for doing away with the tax, we should roe tint the pi lots were able to make a living. He had found that a Philadelphia pilot made' but $7O per month, where a Charleston or Savannah pilot tier mull less work) gets $l3O ter month. Now th'a half-pilotage tax made it an object for our pilots to cruise, and if you take that• away from them you tenet put the pilotage on to larger vessels. We must protect the pilots for the sake of protecting those vessels on which the burden must fall If we take the half-pilotage tax off. Mr- Busbyreplied that the half•pliotage tax was of the nature of an impooltron, and wail found to be so by the New Yorkers. Mr. Herron rejoined ' Mr. Steinniets Mee mode a few remarks nearly in the same Wein as Mr. Buflty. After some further uplatportaut Milliken, the Boatel uliestriteit.

Mr. Hamelin, of the Lunatic Asylum Committee, re ported that they had employed three male and' two fe male nursee to eupervise exclusively the employment of the inmates of the Asylum, and alert an assistant nurse at a salary of $0 per month. Mr. Armstrong was opposed to this movement, as they had enough before ; now they were in etch other's way. He thought there was something rotten at the bottom of this subjeot. Mr. Brown concurred in the last speaker's remarks. He acid among the recent appointments was a woman for a watchman, whose room is fitted up in extrava gant style, with a costly carpet, &o. He ridiculed the necessity of such an appointment He thought the committee were expending the tax payers' fends with out occasion—they wanted no watchmen. no nurses, no more assistsnts. He desired they should dispense with all mush offices and expenditures, He intimated that the members of the Lunatic CommAtee were becoming Menne. After ooneldemble debating, a motion to approve the reeort of the committee was lost by a vote of VA to 8. Mr. Hoopoe moved to refer the report bank to the committee.
