THE LATEST.
Tha following telegraphic deopatcheu we Awl hi the
Cork Advertiser, of February 5, a copy of which has
come to our lath& :
OONVERsION OF TES RRI , UBLIC OF 11}IXIO0 INTO A
Ell=
The Morning Post (supposed organ of Palmerston)
s that it has now been determined, with the assent of
Great Britain, by the Courts of Paris and Mmirid, that
their armies shall march direct from Vera tiruz to the
capital of Mexico, and there suppress.the existing execu
tive. England will limit her active military so-opera
tion to the presence of a powerful squadron in the Gulf
of Mexico, and to garrisoning the port of San Juan
d'Ulloa, with a force of seven hundred marines, during
the continuance of the. healthy season on that coast.
This force, when the season grows unhealthy, is to bo
replaced by acciimatized Cuban troops The Post adds:
fitWebelieve that it is a probable result of this march
of the allies on Mexico that that unhappy and distracted
republic will reappear to the world as a constitutional
monarchy, and that the Archduke Maximilian, brother
of Francis Joseph, Emperor of Austria, will assume the
title of King of Mexico. It will not be impow.ible, if
funds necessary to maintain. an army of occupatbm in sup
port of the new Government are provided, until it will
have derived sufficient stability to stand alone. The
- Mexicans bays tried a repitnii, and it has - sunk away
wader a suecenedon otatroclons military tyrannies. They
are believed to be convinced that a monarchy will give
them order, and that a constitutional monarchy will en
pure the only freedom they can possibly maintain."
The Morning Herald's Paris correspondent says that,
in addition to the troops already sent off, four more bat
teries of artillery have received orders to hold themselves
in readiness to start at an hour's notice.
The Patric says the allied troops are to advance on
the City of Mexico early in March. There will be no
nominal commander-in-chief. The military commanders
and the admirals will act according to the decisions of
Council of war, as in the expedition to China.
Fiction.
r" Margaret Ilowth : a Story of To-day," to be
published in a neat 16mo volume In a few days,
luta ran through the Atlantic Monthly, as a serial,
and in that fragmental form attracted mush atten
tion. In the same periodical, as A Tale of the Iron
Mills," by the same writer, appeared last year.
Judging from internal evidence, this new anther
must be young and womanly. No man could have
drawn the character, showing us the heart, of the
heroine, nor created such a being se poor Lois—
that truest of good Christians with weak brain but
strong and noble spirit and faith . Other characters
also show power : Knowles and Holmes, so well
eontrested, the old schoolmaster and his wife, Old
Tare and Joel, with his earth-oil. The publishers
are lloknor and Fields, who, somehow or other,
never issue an indifferent book.

AN ADVENTUROUS CHARACTER IN
TowN.—Mr: L. C. Baker, the Chief of the Government
'Police, was in town on haturday, on a visit to Chief
Franklin. Mr Baker has just been transferred from the
State to the War Department, - with his entire force, num
boring more than sixty experts. He has not rosignial,
according to the statement of the Associated Press, but
lmerely consigned himself to the department which should
properly take cognizance of detective matters. He
passed with the fell concurrence of Mr. toward, who
complimented him in high terms for his ueefuluess. Mr.
Maker has personally arrested upwards of ninety traitors,
the most of whom have been consigned to Forts Mc-
Menry, Lafayette, or Delaware. Tlieae were contra
jbandiete, informants, disloyal assets or
newspaper Itk , n, legislators, etc. He has been a witness
in almost every trial for treason. and is now here to tea-
City in the Gilchrist heason case.
Baker visited Richmond one week before the battle of
Mull Bun, and conversed privately with Jefferson Davis,
who passed him back through our lines, and assigned him
a secret mission to Washington. He also " shadowed "
(Amoral Stone, 'whom he has been several months tracing
Mr. Baker arrested Stone in person, and will bo a load
ing witness against him at the coming court-martial. Two
spiel have been lately arrested, and one named B. H.
Jenkins, that be took from Kennedyville, Keut county,
]Maryland, will assuredly be shot, his commission in the
rebel army having been obtained, and his muster roll,
uniform, etc., discovered.
The second spy had a letter from Beauregard upon his
parson. The Episcopal clergyman, Webster, a renegade
Train Xamachusetts, was oleo arrested by edr. Baker two
weeks ago in Alexandria. Virginia. Mr. Baker was one
of the worshippers in the body of the church, when Web
ster announced that he had been directed by his bishop
eta pray for the welfare of Jefferson Davis, but that owing
to the presence of a "ruffian soldiery"he would defer
the appeaL Mr. Baker then rose joists place and requested
.that the usual prayer for the President of the United
States !eight be repeated. Webster declined doing this, and
Dakar at once walked to the pulpit and took hie in
charge. The congregation scattered instantly. The
exploits of Baker among the disloyal postmasters, smug
glers, etc., on' the lower Potomac constitute a strange
Chapter in the annals of the war. His personal courage
ass often severely tested, out his presence of mind, de
cision, and daring, always redeemed him front peril or
gnortitiestion. Be was several times put in charge of a
WOSSOL with which he cruised down the Potomac and
through the Chesapeake, a matter, at that tune, of con
siderable danger. In Canada, his assistants have seen
constantly employed, watching the machinations of Bri
ght' and Secession residents, and in Toronto he captured
a roll containing a long list of names and a subscription
of $20,000 to the Confederacy. He employs four otllcera
in the British Provinces at the present time, and has a
correspondent and secret Offices iii England, and another
In France. These are probably looking sharply out for
Name. Mason and Slidell. •
The editors of the Baltimore South were arrested on
Monday, by' order of Mr. Baker. The South, was a
reckless sheet, edited by irresponsible adventurers, who
could be nowhere found. Provost Marshal McPhail and
Mr. Baker finally fixed upon the managers of the con..
cern, and arrested them.
A vessel was steeped at Baltimore a few days eta with
munitions for the South, which goes to prove that spies
awl treasonable emissaries are still among us. Mr.
Baker believes that many of the Baltimore oysterman
are disloyal, and as there is no war vessel off the mouth
of the Potomac, be fears that they are still engaged in
their nefarious trade.
A TENT FOR THE TWENTY-SIXTH
linamitruvaare. Er osprions.—A epeotai meeting to enlist
the sympathies of the public to aid in procuring funds Lc,
'purchase is tent for the "wenty.sixth Regiment, Penn
nylvania Volunteers, Colonel Small, was held last even
ing, at Hansom-street Ball. The exer4e es were enema
with singing and prayer, after which . B. B. Simms
read a letter from Charles A. Beck, ch lain of the regi
ment, who alluded to the very poor accommodations he
had for public worship, the Government finding no tent
lot' that purpose. The one formerly used by the refit.
anent wee very pmell, and could only be obtained or cer
tain limes. A letter was also read from Dr. T. A. Van
dyke, who had visited the regiment and war acauainted
with their social and moral condition. He says that
Mum twenty or thirty of the men have made professions
a Christianity, and were the necessary means for public
worship provided, the result would prove most satisfac•
tory. Addresses were made by the Bev. John Chambers,
Item_ 3. A. Boralaesges, and ettaga, who alluded to dm
condition of our soldiers, and iirged upon an Christian
peel* the great necessity of taking the proper measures
to ImeetheWord of God spread among them. A sub
neriptkur was then taken up for the purpose of purchas
ing the tent, after which the dim audience were dismissed.
DESTRUCTIVE FIRE AT THE BRIDES-
Brim ARSENAL—TUX MACHINA SHOP TISTIOYED.--
Yesterday morning, about half peat 7 o'clock, a de
structive fire occurred at the Bridesbiwg Arsenal. The
fire commenced in the machine-shop, a single-storied
brick structure in the form of the letter H, about 100
feet by 60 in size. It contained eight rooms, in which all
the various operations of making friction primers caps,
bullets, fuses, he., were carried M. n was bested in
the northeast portion of the Arsenal Grounds, and the
fire commenced in the room used for cutting shell-fuses.
The fates are brought into the room In the rough, and
are then cut, with a circular saw, to a uniform length.
They are composed of meal•powder, sulphur, and nitre,
and burn slowly. At the time the fire broke out, a man
and dye boys were at work. Suddenly, from tome cause
still unexplained, a fuse took fire, and canted the igni
tion of some three thousand others, which were in boxes
near it. The boys all escaped injury except one, who
was slightly burned. •
Shortly before this occurred, a carter had brought six
barrels of powder in a cart, and had stopped his horses
directly in front of the burning building. Besides this,
three barrels of powder had beep rolled into the building.
The driver of the cart ran away, and if an employee had
not moved the flirt away a rultwart expToefou alight have
taken place. The flames spread rapidly from one room
to another, and the united ends of all the employees
could not stifle them They, however, succeeded in get
ting out 12,000 fuses intended for the mortar fleet fitting
out at New York, all the gnu cape, and most of the other
ammunition. Ten thousand pounds of musket balls
packed in boxes were, however, melted down. The en.
gine of the arsenal its put into oerylce, but was found to
be considerably out of repair, so that little could be done
With it.
The workmen from Mr. Jenks' rifle factory, some 200
in number, came inn) the enclosure with their engine,
and did good service. They succeeded in saving all the
valuable machinery without injury to any of it, except
a bullet machine. The shafting in the building was bad
ly damaged. The total loos by the fire will not exceed
101,00. We were informed by- Major Laidiaw, who has
command of the works, that in tali days they will be in
operation again. Meantime, arrangements have been
made with Mr. Jenks, and :Ahern, to continue the work,
so that the Government will ander no delay . . In loss
than half an hour after the fire broke out, the Prankford
fire companies were on the ground, and in service. The
Good .Intent, and Northern Liberty engines were also
in service. It was about 10 o'clock before the lire was
finally extisignished.
COMMISSION FOR THE RELIEF OF THE
Tatman' OF Vonoszazns.—The office of the Commis
sion for the Belief of the Families of Volunteers has re
cently been removed to more commodious quarters, at
No. 412 Prune street. The demand for relief has not
much fallen off, although a resolution has been passed by
Councils prohibiting aid from being extended to these
who have only one person depending on them for sup•
port. It was thought that the pry of a volunteer was
sufficiently large for the maintenance of one person.
Four persons are employed by the commission, one of
whom, Samuel H. Dawson, Esq., acts as secretary, and
the remaining three as clerks. They are generally kept
busy from morning till bight, in attending to their
respective duties, APPliCatiens IWO received 4aily,
from nine till twelve o'clock, when the office is
generally well pat onized. Tho name of each applicant
is carefully recorded by the clerks, who transfer it to the
committee, when the case is properly disposed of. The
books containing full accounts of the amount expended,
the number of persona relieved, &c., aro ih charge of the
secretary, who has no small task imposed upon him. In
one day the number of applicants has reached as high as
600. Numerous attempts to procure aid were made by
impostors when the commission was first organized, and
in some cases proved successful. At present, however,
it is impossible to practise any imposition on the com
mittee, and it is seldom that any effort of the kind is now
made. A case recently happened in which a woman,
whose husband bad enlisted, was granted relief by one of
the commission, when it was discovered that ehe subse
quently changed her quarters, and made the Almshouse
her permanent abode. Her pay was at once stopped, and
her name recorded, which will prevent her, atany time
hereafter, from receiving aid--a penalty attached to all
such ungrateful acts.
The total amount thus far expended by the commis
sion is $457,476.61, leaving a balance of $67,723.49• in
the hands of the committee to be expended. This sum,
from present appearances, will be consumed in about
six weeks. The total appropriation made by Coun
cils i for the relief of the families of volunteers,
was $525,000. During the last week the sum
Of 4 1 :172.7.9,47 was disbursed, The highest amount
paid out in any ono week, was that ending De
cember 14, 1861, when the sum of $16,421.41 was ex
pended. The lowest amount, $270, was expended during
the first week of organization. At the present time there
are about 9,650 families receiving aid, the highest num
ber twiny one time being 11,146. About one-third of
each week's expenditure is distributed among the
Eleventh, Twelfth, Fourteenth, Sixteenth, Seventeenth,
and Twentieth wards, Each family receives from one to
thrte dollars per week.
LECTURE FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE
VOLUNTEER REFRESHMENT SALOONS.—Last evening
Dr. S. DI. Landis dOlivered a lecture on Temperance and
The Evils of the Day, at Musical Fund Hall, for Vim bene
fit of the Volunteer Refreshment Saloons. The her.
mania Orchestra was in attendance, and discoursed some
excellent music. The lecturer commenced by saying
that he would state his own views on the subject of
temperance,
which had been battled for years in every
shape and form. He contended that - he had fought the
consequences, and not the cause, which lies at our tables
and firesides. He would implore them to abolish spices,
peppers, and condiments of all kinds, as these stimulate,
and saline materials produce artificial thirst, and give
en insatiate desire for artificial beverages, thereby our
instincts, our natural sensibilities become partially
deadened—that is, we become t. dead in sin," conse
quently, we are governed by a second nature, or a de
moniacal spirit. The speaker argued that the great
cause of intemperance and the evils of the day can be
traced to the • , rati fi cation of falsely selected and errone
ously prepar ed food. The lecture was closed in rhyme.
and was very amusing, and frequently greeted with
applause.

fore Alderman Baffler upon the eharge of having etoleu
a gold watch valued at $l3O, from the establishment of

also charged with the larceny of two gold rings. The
watch was stolen about eight weeks since, and was re
covered by the police at a pawnbroker's office. Smith's

tence of a desire to purchase. He concludes, hewever,
to call again, but in the meantime has_ managed to slip

A BAD BOY IN SCHOOL. Before
Judge. Allison, yesterday morning, Hr. Thos. M. Pierce,
principal of the Monroe Grammar School, Eleventh and
Buttonwood streets, was tried on a charge of assault and
.bsttery. upon Lewis Bppelsheimer, one of his scholars.

impertinence, and struck the boy on the month. A.
struggle ensued, and the boy was thrown on the plat

CITY ITEMS.
A NEW PRIMARY GEOORAPII.Y, on the basis
of the Object Method of Instruction, (by Fordyce A. Al
len,) has just been published by Messrs. J. B. Lippincott
& Co. This book is eo novel in respect of its contents,
arragement, and illuetration, as to rattle the query; What
should a fill:nail- text-hook be? Whoever brings to
mind hie own start and progress in the acquisition of
knowledge, or looks upon the learning of early ages, and
the gradual advance to the present time, concludes that
its subject-matter should consist of what is simplest in
itself, and the most multifarious in its bearing; and that
its statements should be clear, its language lucid and de
void of technical terms, which, being but the 'shad
placed on things already known, and valuable, mainly,
to the scientific man, are appropriate only in works for
advanced pupils. We may remark that, in the study of
natural things especially, we seize first on what is most
inviting, and retain longest that which presents itself
most vividly.
The little volume before us meets tho regnirementit of
this philosophy. The inductive method has been fol
lowed carefully; the first lessons, starting with the stu
dent hime, If, and continuing on ajourney:through Penn
sylvania, suggest to the mature mind hydrography,
Mineralogy, or their parent geology, and the progress; of
civilization to Which, so far as they may be discussed in
a commom.sehool Geography, they are a good introduc
tion. The maps are on a new and excellent plan. Be
sides the chief occupations of the people of the United
States, the leading animals, and some of the plants of
each country ale represented by pictures, in connection
with the descriptions, in such a manner as to indicate cli
matic conditions. The penguin on the cold and lonely
Southern shores i the hippopotamus and manatee in the
warm waters i and the musk-ox and walrus in their dreary
Northern homes, speak to the mind the nature of the re
gions they inhabit. The typography is excellent; the
illustrations effective ; the matter simple, instructive, and
appropriate. The book has certainly much to recom
mend it to the favorable r. cognition of teachers, and it
Will, doubtlem, soon win its way into popular use.
COMMENCEMENT OP PENN MEDICAL COLLEGE,
—The annual commencement of Penn Medics College

The valedictory address will be delivered by Professor
C. A. Leeeli, EL D. The graduating class alit consist of
both sexes. The pnblic•will find in the exercises an in
teresting entertainment.
THE STAFF OF LIFE.—Good bread is the
first essential of good health in the observance of diete
tics. The best flour for baking , we can assure our read
ers, is that sold by Mr. C. IL Mattson, dealer in line gro
ceries, Arch and Teeth streets. His celebrated "Sihaw
Flint" Buckwheat flour is also a great favorite with
intelligent housekeepers.
A. LIMIT Ha it a fine thing hi this
world of trial and sorrow is a light, hopeful heart. It
alone possesses the stoutness which will carry one
through difficulties, afflictions, and persecutions; it can
climb mountains, penetrate deserts, and brave the storm
tossed ocean; it can endure all the hardshipa of the
cam p, and march tmfaulteringly with the forlorn hope to
tho cannon's month. When the proud man is humbled,
and the strong man has failed, he of light heart will re
main, unfearing and unhurt, triumphant over every ob
stacle, superior to every difficulty, and still wearing the
elegant clothing gotten up at the one price" Emporium
of Granville Stokes, No. 609 Chestnut street.
TARING OF FORT DONELSON.—The popular
heart beats with joy at the glad tidings of the taking of
the rebel stronghold in Tenressee. The victory was the
result of courage, superior arms, and address, and lastly,
though not least, of the comfortable condition of the
Federal troops. ]lien well• clothed and well-fed were
brought against a demoralized rebel horde, many of
whom had 4, no stomach for the fight," and none of whom
'were properly accoutred, from the simple fact that they
have not , in stDixie" tech an establiahment at
the Brown-Stone Clothing Hall of Duckbill k Wilson,
Nos. 603 and 605 Chtetnut street, above Sixth, from
whence most ef the uniforms worn by 'the gallant officers
were purchased.
MRS. PARTINGTON GETS ONE OF CHARLES
SToutie ILLIISTarnin CONTINIUITAL kLNlAllagg.==:
...Isaac, where did this Illustrious Consequential Mam
nee come from?" Bald the old lady, looking up from a
careful perusal of the pictures. Not waiting for an an
swer from Ike, she exclaimed, Isaac, do they dress the
marine corpses up in this style when they bury them;
and do they put them big button. 'on them, awl them
Lrlll3e things on their shoulders ?" Ike suggested that
was for the 'muss's° of sinking them. " What a very
wicked thing this rebellion is, Isaac; the rebels must be
short of the compliments of warfare, for I hear they are
planting cannon along the . rivers, Do you think they'll
grow Isaac'?" Ike, with his usual humor, said they
might shoot in the spring, if the season was favorable,
and ttey didhit burst their .breeches. The old lady, as
tounded at Ike's wisdom, simply remarked that 4 i if
they'd get their breeches at the Folk's One Price,'
under the Consequential Hotel, they'd never burst
