FROM MEXICO.
SUPPOSED DEATH OF CAPTAIN RANDOLPH
RIDGLE Y.- Thrown from his Horse.--The
New Orleans papers of the 13th inst.,
bring accounts of a fatal accident to
another of the noble and distinguished
sons of Maryland, at Monterey. The
New Orleans Delta says :
We know not when sounds more sud
denly startling saluted our ear than laid
evening when a friend, on meeting us,
exclaimed, Poor Ridgley is killed !"
For a moment, the announcement depri
ved us of the power of utterance, but
too soon we were informed of the mel
ancholy particulars. Our informant was
Capt. Deshon, of the Steamboat Sea,
who arrived yesterday from Brazos St.
Jago. He left there on Tuesday the 3d
instant.
While in the office of Capt. Hill, the
Assistant Quartermaster of that station,
a few moments before going on board,
an express arrived from Monterey, com
municating the sad intelligence that the
gallant, the chivalrous Ridgley had met
with an accident from which it was im
possible to recover, and which he could
not long survive. It appears that on
Sunday, the 25th ult., he had been riding
his horse swiftly down one of the hills
in the neighborhood of Monterey. The
animal fell with great force, the brave
rider coming under, the concussion frac
tnring his skull. It rendered him speech
less and insensible, and left no hopes of
his recovery. This is no idle report, it
is true—palpably true.
Alas, Poor Ridgley ! hadst thou fallen
at Palo Alto, Resaca de la Palma, or at
the siege of Monterey, to the glory of
the American Arms, in all of which thy
gallant daring did so signally contribute,
few would be the tears, though sincere
its sorrow, which thy country would
shed over thy bier. But that thou shouldst
be ignobly, as it were, cut off, with the
garland of glory fully and freshly clus
tering thy brow, furnishes amuse among
us for mourning that cannot be repressed
and will not soon be forgotten.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 20-7 P.M.
By an endorsement on a paper post
marked Brazos Santiago, Nov. 4, 1846,
we learn that Capt. Randolph Ridgley
is dead from the effects of a fall from
his horse. I learn the above from the
Washington Post Office.

ARRIVAL OF THE GALVESTON
REPORTED MOVEMENT OF AM
PUDIA AGAINST GEN. WOOL.
The Steamer Galveston arrived at New
Orleans on the 12th instant, front Gal
veston. The following extract of a let
ter from New Orleans briefly sums up
the news brought by her :
She brings among her passengers,
some six or eight officers, including Col.
"Jack Hays" and the renowned Captain
Sam. Walker, formerly of the Texas
Rangers, said to be on their way to
Washington. They became lions at
once, and as they walk through the
streets attract crowds at their heels.—
Capt. W. has by no means a distinque
or martial look about him, stoops, with
a slouching gait, thin face and small red
whiskers. Hays is only remarkable for
aii eagle eye and compact figure.
The Galvestonians gave them a great
burl, and I understand that a similar
demonstration is to be made here, under
the auspices of Capt. Lumsden. A Gal
veston Extra received this morning,
mentions the arrival of a gentleman
there who left Monterey on the 13th
ult. He says it was currently reported
in the army, that Gen. Ampudia, had
not retreated to San Luis de Potosi, as
before supposed, but with his army of
14. 000 men, with munitions of every
kind, had marched to Monclovia, with a
view of intercepting General Wool and
his little army of 3,000 men, and pre
venting his junction with Gen. Taylor.
General Wool, however, it was supposed
had taken a different route from the one
Ampudia expected, and they might miss
each other. How true this may be it is
impossible to say, but the Galveston
News thought it sufficiently interesting
to warrant the issue of an extra.
From the N. 0. Picayune, Nov. 11
MEXICAN INTELLIGENCE.
We have already said that the Mexi
cans were making diligent preparations
for the defence of Vera Cruz. The gar
rison of the citadel has been increased
and troops are marching into the town
from various points in the interior.
One of the last official acts of Gen.
Landero, before he was succeeded by
Gen. Morales, as Captain-General of Ve
ra Cruz, was to declare the city in a
state of Beige, thus subjecting it to mar
tial law. Another measure was to ex
empt from all duty such articles as rice,
maize, butter, &c., which may be neces
sary to enable the castle and city to
stand a siege.
Dealers are forbidden to charge exces
sive prices for such articles. Mules and
other animals used for transportation,
are also to be allowed to enter theVity
without charge. At the same time the
people are busily engaged fortifying the
city, every class of citizens taking hold
to dig trenches. Even the women have
taken hold of the spade and shovel, and
work regularly with the men.
The Government organ of the 3d ult.
announced that, on the morning of the
previous day, Gen. Sales assembled some
of the wealthiest citizens of the capital,
and addressed them upon the necessi
ties of the Government, and suggested
various remedies.
It was finally determined to make an
assessment of $200,000 upon fifty gen
tlemen, which should be advanced to
the Government in the shape of a loan.
It was carried with signs of enthusi
asm, and although the money was not
actually paid in, it was deemed to be
secured, and profuse thanks are show
ered upon the fifty capitalists who thus
came forward.
In Chilmahurt•Gov. Trias is said to be
melting lip the bells of the churches to
make cannon for the defence of the city.
The greatest lamentations are heard that
the people cannot be provided with the
arms which they are so eager to take up
against the invaders. In all our papers
we do not see mention made of General
Wool's invasion. It is from the North
they anticipate the descent of the ava
lanche.
FROM THE GULF SQUADRON,
Second Abortive Attack on Alvarado !
The Washington Union publishes the
following letter from Coin. Connor to the
Secretary of the Navy, giving the Offi
cial account of the late attack on Alva
rado:
Extract of a letter from Com. Connor to
the Secretary of the Navy:
"U. S. SHIP CUMBERLAND,
"OFF VERA CRUZ, October 17, 1846
" It is with feelings of deep mortifi
cation that I apprise the department of
the failure of another attempt to enter
the river of Alvarado.
" On the morning of the 15th, a little
after sunrise, I reached the entrance of
that river, with the steamer Vixen, the
three gunboats, the prize schooner No.
nota, mounting four guns, and the rev:.
enue vessels, schooner Forward and.the.
steamer McLane, accompanied by, the
Mississippi, Commodore Perry. It was
intended the latter should cannonade the
batAery,while the smaller vessels crossed
the bar. It was found, however, she
'could not approach near enough to make
any impression on the work with her
shells. -This battery mounted seven
guns; and immediately behind it, on an
elevated knoll, was a platform, on which
was a mounted pivot-gun. Knowing
the small power of the steamers on
which I depended to tow the small ves
sels over the bar, and up the river, I
was desirous of having a favorable wind
to assist them. For this purpose, I de
layed moving until nearly two o'clock,
but seeing no prospect of the usual sea
breeze setting in, I determined to pro
ceed, The first division, composed of
the Reefer and Bonus, in tow of the
Vixen, got under way, and was followed
by the second division, consisting of the
Nonata, Forward, and Petrel, towed by
the McLane. As they approached the
bar,the current became stronger, causing
the steamers to steer badly, and lessen
ing their progress to not more than a
mile, or a mile and a half the hour.
"The first division continued to ad
vance steadily, and had been some time
engaged with the battery, when I had
the mortification of seeing the McLane
aground on the bar, and the vessels she
had in tow, foul of each other, in the
greatest disorder.
"As it was evident no support could
be expected from the second division for
some time, if at all, and as the three
vessels composing the first, were wholly
inadequate to prosecute the attack, even
if they could pass the battery, with
which we were engaged, I was constrain
ed to order the Vixen to be put about,
and repass the bar.
" It may be as well to observe here,
that besides the battery at the entrance
of the river, there is another at the town,
one and a half mile distant, of three
guns, with two brigs each mounting nine
guns, a schooner with seven guns, and
two gunboats, each carrying a long
twenty four pounder—all so disposed as
to command the channel.
" By the time the Vixen joined her,
the McLane was again afloat, without
having sustained any material injury.—
It was obvious, however, her draft (ten
feet two inches) was too great to pass
the bar in its present state. Generally
there are from thirteen to fifteen feet on
it, and my information led me to believe
I should find that depth now, but the
late floods have probably lessened, as on
sounding previously to entering, there
were barely twelve feet. The Vixen
struck twice in going over, though draw
ing only seven feet. The current was
also stronger in the river than 1 expect
ed, and even if she could pass the bar,
I felt convinced the power of the Mc-
Lane was inadequate to make head
against it with any vessels in tow.—
These considerations—and the day be
ing far spent—induced me, however,
much against my inclination, to abandon
any further attempt at present to enter
the river.
" Except for a short time, from early
in the spring to the commencement of
the rainy season, no one not acquainted
with them, can have any conception of
the difficulties attending naval opera
tions on this coast. The North winds,
during the winter months are sudden
and violent, accompanied by high seas
and strong currents. No judgment can
be formed as to what moment they may
commence. Under such circumstances,
an opinion may be easily formed of the
difficulty of landing a body of men on
the open coast, and also of the danger
from the elements attending it.
" I am, very respectfully,
"Your obedient servant,
D. CONNER,
" Commanding Home Squadron
" Hon. John Y. Mason,
" Secretary of the Navy,
" Washington, D. C."
FOREIGN NEWS.
ARRIVAL OF THE
GREAT WESTERN.
The Steamer Great Western arrived
in New York on the night of the 16th
inst. from Liverpool, with dates to the
31st ultimo.
She brings 100 passengers. She took
out the news of the capture of Monterey
by the Americans.
FOOD RIOTS IN IRELAND.—Ire
land appears to be in a most deplorable
situation. County Tipperary is almost
in a state of insurrection.
The town of Templemore was the
scene of three food Riots on Monday,
by a mob varying in numbers from one
to five hundred men. The rage for the
possessi,n of fire arms is increasing dai
ly. An attack upon the Very Rev. Dean
Humes, whilst fishing on Saturday last,
by an armed gang, 8 in number, was in
some measure successful. Violence,
robberies and murders seem to be rife
in Ireland.
By far the greatest portion of Munster
presents at this moment the appearance
of a slumbering volcano.
ENGLAND.—Difficulties appear to
exist in the British Ministry. The Home
affairs of the Government are represent
ed to be in an unsettled and precarious
condition ; and a storm seems to be
brewing between England and Fri.,
Stich threatens mischief.
FRANCE.—From France we gave
most disastrous and melancholy accounts
of the consequences of a flood which
had occurred in the River Loire, the wa
ters of which have very suddenly risen
to a height exceeding anything known
for a century back. In a single night
the waters of the Loire itself rose twen
ty French Feet.
. .
The fetes in Paris in h.nor of the
matrimonial conquest of Louis Phillippe
and his son have been postponed for some
time, in consequence as is alleged, of
the inundations in certain parts of France
caused by heavy rains and storms.
ANOTHER INSURRECTION IN
PORTUGAL.—The latest news from
Portugal, received at Madrid, announce
that a revolutionary movement had bro
ken out at Oporto. The report of the
arrest of the Duke of Terceira was con
firmed. That statesman is in prison at
Oporto. The Regency, it was said,
was proclaimed in the name of Belbree
111. It was said at Madrid that Costra
Cabal, and Don Zalas Bravo were to have
left, on the 19th instant, for Lisbon.—
Our Lisbon letter of the 16th instant
states that all communication between
that capital, Oporto, and Coimbra was
cut off in consequence of the telegraph
being broken. The Dairio of that day
contains royal decrees, dismissing from
their posts as many civil Governors ap
pointed by the late Government. Mr.
Palmetta had demanded his passports
for France.
WAR IN CIRCASSIA.—The news
from Circassia, which comes down to
the 27th of August, is of great and
thrilling interest. A Russian deserted
to the Circassians, Bake Delifesner by
name, who, obtaining influence with the
various tribes has been raised to an im
portant command, has made a success
ful razzia on the Russian Territory.
MARKETS.
LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE,
Friday, Oct. 30.—At this day's market
the millers who are now tolerably well
in stock, appeared almost unanimously
determined to remain on the reserve.—
The Wheat trade altogether was conse
quently languid in the extreme, and had
sales been feasible, beyond a very limit
ed amount, many holders would have
accepted easier terms. Irish Flour,
upon a short, supply, was unaltered in
value, but United States and Canadian
being more difficult of sale than usual,
all descriptions of this article, both free
and in bond received ls. per bbl below
last quotations.
Bacon and Hams are in good request
and at an advance in price. Lard is
scarce and wanted.
STILL LATER,
The Acadia arrived at Boston on Tues
day morning, having left England four
days after the Great Western. She
brings no additional news of any impor
tance. There has been no material
change in the markets.
The Acadia made the trip across the
Atlantic in 12 days and 18 hours—the
quickest ever made.
fl You look like death on a pale
horse," said a gentleman to a toper, who

The Outrages at Nauvoo.
Da- Extract from a private letter to
the Editor of the New York Tribune,
dated
----, ILLINOIS, Nov. 5, 1846,
" Gov. Ford is now at Nauvoo. That
city and county is suffering under the
effects of the lawless movements which
have been carried on there for the last
few years. I was there two days after
the mob entered the city, and a more
desolate looking place was never seen.
Out of probably 2,500 houses, not more
than 40 or 50 seemed to be occupied.
1 , " The mob had a guard there of over
100 men, under a committee of public
safety, before whom every person they
disliked was summoned, and ordered to
leave the county, not to return under
pain of death. They drove off many
of the most respectable and wealthy,
and prudent men of the State, at the
point of the bayonet. They pillaged
houses at pleasure, and insulted women
and children without hesitation, and
under the pretence of being "law and
order men." For many miles around
the city, in every direction, nearly ev
ery farm house was abandoned,the fences
were thrown down, and the crops at the
mercy of cattle and hogs, and "law and
order" men. Such scenes were never
heard of in a civilized country."
General Lamar.
The Galveston News says :—" The
conduct of Gen. Lamar in the battle of
Monterey was marked by his usual chiv
alry and eager impetuosity. Mounted
on a large white horse, he was easily
distinguished throughout the engage
ment. We are informed by those who
were present, that after the capitulation,
the Mexicans spoke of Gen. Lamar,
(who appears to be well known to them,)
in terms of extravagant admiration.—
They said lie seemed to bear a charmed
life—that they saw him in almost every
street in the city where the battle raged
most fiercely ; that, as in the battle of
San Jacinto, he was the mark for many
a Mexican ball, which they imagined he
could only escape by the interposition in
his behalf of some supernatural aid."
NOT EDITORIAL.—We wish to call the
reader's attention to Wistar's Balsam of
Wild Cherry, that is advertised in ano
ther column. There is some peculiarity
about this article that no other remedy
has. It is completely master of all pul
monary diseases, even to the most ma
lignant, such as our most prominent and
skilful physicians, after long treatment,
have given up in despair as beyond the
reach of medicine and their skill, are
cured by this remedy. The readeK„rrni
think there is some assurance in dig;
and with some reason, too, if it was not
plain matter of fact. It is the best me
dicine before the public. For sale by
Read & Son, Huntingdon.

PHILADELPHIA, Sept, 20, 1845.
Messrs. Robinson, Collins er Co.—Being
afflicted last spring with a very severe
cough, with pain in my side and breast,
soreness and weakness of the lungs,
shortness of breath, loss of apetite, &c.,
I tried various remedies, but to no good
effect, my cough still continuing and
growing worse. Such was the distress
ing nature of the cough, that I could
not lie in bed night nor day, but was
obliged to sit up in my chair, and could
sleep very little at best ; consequently I
was wearing out very fast, till you very
kindly recommended Dr. Davis's Com
pound Syrup of Wild Cherry and Tar,
the first bottle of which gave me relief,
checked my cough, loosened the phlegm,
caused me to expectorate freely, restored
my appetite, relieved the pain in my
side, healed the soreness of my breast,
and strengthened my lungs ; eausing me
to breathe freely, I have now taken ten
bottles; it has entirely cured my cough.
I have gained considerably in flesh, I
think it a most valuable medicine ; and
one that ought to be universally known,
that those afflicted with colds and coughs
may have a medicine both safe and sure
to cure, if taken properly. While taking
