. 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. It is supposed

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 22, 1858.
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

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

Mr. Craven said he desired my conversation with

strictly confidential, upon which basis I at once
'saw the propriety of Fleeing it, and said in parting
that he had better only consult those of the stook
holders who would be conMeritial. Borne days af.

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."

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

not a harsh note,. We do trust- that, ere this sea

pleasure, and do Madame Colson the justice of
letting her appear in " Luorezia Borgia," just to

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 ! It
le very funny that, while wagon roads towards the
sunset are advocated because they will reduce the
cost of transportation, nevertheless, when built,
the oost Of, transportation, like all human things,
physloal or vegetable, keeps on growing. It would
seem that cow tails only have the singular faculty
of growing &Min.
' Mr. Cobb; doubtless, expects to make up what
ever liwanting by' the delloienoY.hill. This inn
sure, Only known for the first tim e this decade,
is fast becoming a precedent. Last year—Or, tech
ninny, speaking, the bold year ending June
30th, 1857—it amounted to $10,000,000 ' Added to
the $74,000,000 of the Treasury ostimatesikmede
$84;000,000 Without taking into consideration the
Congressional items—and what not.

that at full length. Throughout the line of march the
streets, the windows, the walks, and the door-steps
were crowded with people, whose honest hearty cheers,
starting from the Battery, wore paned up and kept up
throughout the entire tromp. It was, in very troth,
such an ovation as was never before, on this continent,
extended to a company of firemen It was curious to
note the different expressions that "played away on

To the Eilttor of The Press : This commercial
city is this winter to be favored with unusual lite
rary advantages. Besides the numerous lectures
established by various societies, the trustees of Co
tumble College have matured their plan for a
course of post-graduate or university instruction.
And for the carrying out of this plan they lava
secured the services of some of the moat distin
guished soientifia mon and scholars of this coon
try. There, together with the professors of the
college, many of whom aro widely known in the
world of letters, will deliver lectures, to which the
public are admitted for a merely nominal sum. Not
even females have boon excluded. Tho course hidi
vided into different schools, of science, letters, and
jurisprudence. Among the lecturers aro Dr. Davier,
the mathematician ; Dr. Lieber, so well known in
political science; Dr. llaokley, the astronomical
professor of the college; Dr. Joy, of the college,
who is a thorough chemist; Professor Mel:ill& on
physics, formerly of Philadelphia; Profeeror
Nairno, a brilliant Sootchman, who can make even
motaphysios interesting to an audience;
Bon.
George P. Marsh, our late consul at Constantleo
ple, so learned in lingnlsttoa ; and Professor Guyot
on physical geography. The lectures of the law
eohool, which is under the charge of Professor
Dwight, and of the school of letters, are to be de
livered lathe beautiful hall of the Historical So
deity's Wilding, in Second avenue. The scientific
departnient is at the college, in Forty-ninth
street.
Were,theso advantages offered in any other city
than in Now York, ono might look for a generous
support. But here there is little prospect of it.
The lectures of Mr. Marsh and Dr. Lieber, which
have been delivered, so far have been poorly at

Our artiste have returned from their summer
peregrinations, and may be found at their studies,
and we will soon see some of the products of the

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

opening
with a etatement that in New York $0.82 will admit a
firm in the &notion 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

it; besides. this business cannot thrive for • long time,

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.

for a watchman, whose room is fitted up in extrava
gant style, with a costly carpet, &o. He ridiculed the

The move* made last evening are all marked with
the same deep study ac those of the previous sittings
of the committee!, It will be noticed that the thirty
eel/sett; move at black (R. to Ktis 2d) was the only one
on the board which could have been made without lose.
The last move of black (It to Kt a 7th) seems to hove
been more for the pewee of attaching than for taking

yet was admirably answered.

A 'REPETITION OT AN OLD DOINIS.-011
Saturday evening a " well-dressed gentleman's entered
the atom of Mr. Rothschild, and purchased a couple of
pair of b-eta. Not having the money, be rrguested
Mr. Rothsehild to send them around to, his boarding
house at the Old Rotterdam Tavern on Third street,
and he would send the money by the messenger. The
boy took the beets around as be was directed, and on
arriving at the hotel he met the rf well-dressed gentle.
man" at the threshold of the inn, and handing him the
boots, received a $2O Minn payment, the , twelbdressedi ,
telling him he would return one of the pits is a few
minuses,and while doing so would net the change from
Mr. Rotschild. The lad. returned, and Lie employer,
after wiit'ng an indefinite period of time for the boots
and the " well-drrsged gertileman," exatninel the $2O
bill critically, and found that it wag a $2 bill altered.
As may be imagined the ‘• well-dreised geptisman "
never retu rued. and the worthy merchant was minus
the boots. This dodge is suit an old one and km
been ro often mooed in the columns of the daily
press, that our surprise le not so much that a trades
man should be taken In, as that a thief should be so
hard run as to fall bagk In imoh a threadbare con
trivance.
PROBABLE MURDER.—At a late hour on
Eaturdey night a party of men entered the house of

party, and the two retired, scaffling, into the yard. In
a few momenta Eagan returned, wounded on the breast,
throat, and limbs, together with a frightful gosh on his
head. The wound on his breast is said to extend to the
lung. Ragen was taken to the Tenth-ward station•
house and from thence was removed to the Pennsylva
nia Hospital. The house to said to have boon one of
bad repute. Eagan is a boatman on the Schuylkill.
The person who committed the offence effected his
escape. The police, however, arrested all who were in
the house at the time the !assault was committed The
comes of the arrested are Patrick McNamee, William
Gregory, and Merles Alexander, besides several women,
giving the news of Mien Rogan, Mary Martin, Elias
McGoldrick, and Mary lidolitoney. They were held to.
ball for a further hearing.
It is said that he will not recover, and the greatest
exertions are made to secure the offender.

The statement shows a heavy decrease in the line Of
specie, caused in part by the sending of gold to New
York to reduce the huge balances which the course of

by our jobbing homes has redsced the deposits, bat it
has peen russompllebed without an increase of bank ao
