Radical meeting at Memphis Saturday night, a negro attempted to speak, but was forced down. A correspondent criticising aprima donna rather deficient in physique, says, "a chest is as essential to a singer as a bureau to a freedman." Contracts have been let for eight miles moro of heavy work on the Knoxville and Kentucky Bail road. The much coveted coal fields will be reached by next Joly: Colonel PATBXCK, Indian Agent, has established a reservation four miles from Fort Laramie, and bas BOW eighty lodges of Indians on it, and moro are coming. - A Bown East paper bas the following local notice : "A child was run over by a wagon three years old, and cross-eyed, with pantaloons on, Which never spoke afterwards." The ttontgomery Advertiser says that the ar? rangements made for building the road from Montgomery to Selma are such as to ensure its early completion. The Boston Commonwealth, says that such men ?yo rmmrs and STEVENS are the cream of ths country. PBENTIOB thinks if they are, the sooner the country is skimmed the better for it. It is now positively asserted that an interview bas taken place between several prominent Re? publicans and President JOHNSON. This interview took place bist Thursday, and lasted two boura. It is said that a third head of RICHELIEU bas been found, and more are expected. Not satisfied with having proved him a Cerebus, they are try? ing to make a Hydra of him. A Maine editor says he cannot imagine when editora have leisure time, "unless it is after the ferryman carries us over Styx, and then we nave no doubt the old fellow would besiege us for a puff on his boats." -Some of our exchanges say that MABY BARBIS, the female sharp-shooter, "has been committed to the insane asylum in Washington." We know of no Insane asylum in Washington except the Capitol Mr. OHABXES BIEN, Professor of Persian in Uni? versity College, and one of the best Oriental scholars of the time, has just been appointed Keeper of the Oriental .Manuscripts in the British IWnHCTT?l A Haine editor Bays a pumpkin in that State grew so large that eight men could stand around it ; which statement was only equalled by that of the Hoosier who saw a floes: of pigeons fly so low that he could shake a stick at them. A cat recently got into the large cylinder of tho Hoe press of the North British Hail newspaper. The unfortunate puss remained quiet for two hun? dred revolutions of the cylinder, when she fell nuder it upon the forms and was distributed over them. Garroters are flogged in England previous to being transported or imprisoned. At Leeds, two men lately received two dozen lashes each with the oat, in presence of their fellow prisoners. They screamed loudly, and seemed almost overcome with pain. A lot of heavy siege guns, muskets, equipments, sud other material of war of a like nature, arrived at Jersey City on the Erie Railroad on the 12th and 13th insta. They were being shipped for some foreign port, supposed to be one of the South American republics. The Alabama Legislature bas passed a "no fence" law for MOntgUSiOijr 0^(7 Tho anl mi??n it unlawful for tho owner of any boise, mule, ass, each alluna! to go at large, and provides a penalty for doing so. Mrs. SWETT, of Kennebunk, Maine, who put morphine into a bottle of whiskey in such quanti? ty that it killed ber husband, a quack doctor, who drank freely of it, has been convicted of man? slaughter. Her defence was that she intended that the morphine should act as an emetic A visitor to the Philadelphia market speaks of butter which is "essence of June mornings caught and imprisoned in glowing globules, the fragrance of clever fields ripening into sweetness in the brooding sunshine, the warm delicious flavor of new milk foaming in the overflowing bucket." Wish wa bad some of that kind to spread on our daily bread. On the 6th of February, at Nassau, died the sis? ter of Ur. FBANCIS SPENCE, at the age of one hun? dred and three years. She arrived in -the Bahamas with tho FANSHAWE family and other "loyalists*' during the American revolution, and recollected marching in the baggage train, under Sir RALPH ABEBOBOHBIE, to St. Augustine, Fla., whence many of that party embarked for the islands. JOHN PRENTISS, Esq., of Keene, N. H., is the oldest editor living in New England. He is in his ninetieth year, but his mind is vigorous and clear, and it ie but a few weeks ago that he contributed an article to the Portsmouth Journal. Mr. PBEN TiBS was editor of the Keene Sentinel in the last century, when JOHN ADAMS was President of the United States.. An Albany letter says there are now in NewTork, nuder the control of the Fenians, 86,000 SNTDEB breach-loading rifles, and 100,000 equipments, 10, 000,000 rounds of ammunition, and 50,000 complete uniforms. The amount raised and placed in the banda of O'MAHONY, STEPHENS & Co., was $812,690. The amount of money upon which ROBEBTS started bis raid upon Canada was $126,000. t> The Scientific American says that the centre rail, successfully used for heavy grades on the Mount Cenia Railway, is an American invention, patented some fifteen years since by Mr. GEOBOE E. BELLISS, of Cincinnati, and practically applied by the Coal River Improvement and Coal Compa? ny, for overcoming a grade of one hundred and fifty feet to the mile ' in crossing the eastern bar? rier of the Bhamokin Coal Basin. Ai a wedding in Raleigh, N. C., a few evenings since, the invited guests, after the ceremony, were requested to pay ten dollars each to the bride, who was in snob indigent circumstances that she had not the means to complete ber wardrobe. Each person present promptly responded, and the sum raised amounted to about five hundred dollars. The bride thanked her friends for their generosity, jdased them all, and went home with ber husband in the best of spirits. Since 1600, Austria bas spent 160 years in thirty one different wars, ten of which were waged with Trance; six with Turkey; five with Prussia; four with Spain; one with Holland; one with Denmark, and four were relative to the succession. One war lasted thirty years; one sixteen; one fourteen; one thirteen; one nine, and three eight; while the others were from a few mou'lis to six years. A statue of HOBACE GBEKLEY will soon be on ex? hibition in New York. MCKAY & Co. have pro? duced it by the new and curious process of photo sculpture. The philosopher H. inda slightly bent forward, bis bands at his bre .st, bis pantaloons caught at the top of his boot leg, a bundle of pa? pers under bis arm, and what looks like all the Tribune ?changes obtruding irwin his pocket. One hundred thousand acres of land, mainly lying in Morgan county, Tennessee, on the line of the projected Tennessee and Pacido Railroad, bave been purchased for the purpose of settling immigrants from foreign countries. One hundred German families, composed of young persons belonging to the better classes of society, each bringing to the United States an average cf six hundred dollars in gold, are now on their way to T-euneaaee, and have contracted for a portion of the land above referred to. A bill hts been submitted to the Alabama Legis? lates by the Planters' Convention at Senna, pro? posing that, "upon tho application of parties before the Probate Court of any county for laborers, ac? companied by a bond to indemnify the expense incurred, the Judge may pledge the State to pay the necessary expenses of the immigrants applied for. That upon receiving the certificate of the Judge, the Governor shall issue a Treasury war? rant in farer of the Judge sending the certificate, and that money shall be paid over to Commission? ed of Immigration, of whom three shall be ap? pointed-one to resido at Montgomery, another at Mobile, and the third at such point as may be in? dicated by tlie Governor.

THURSDAY MORNING, FEBRUARY 21,18C7. Our readers will pardon us, wo feol assured, if we have of lato paid but little attention to affairs in the Empire Republic beyond the Rio Grande. The political situation at homo has been a subject of continuod anxiety, and thoro has boon so little re? cently in the aspect of public affairs all over the United States, that could famish any source for sincere congratulation, that it is with a bad grace any American journal can address itself to the task of reviewing affairs in Mexico, and drawing infer? ences from its late history, disparaging or prejudi? cial to the descendants of the Aztecs, the Monte zumas, or the later Spanish graft. But as the wires, within the last few days, have brought some, important items of intelligence, some of them per? haps mero rumors, we have thought a resume of late events in that country may not prove unin? teresting. The condition of things in Mexico is amomalouB. "While there is a party of the Church and a Liberal party, and anouier that adheres to the Emperor's government ; this division furnishes no real clue to the condition of things. The possession of po? litical power is disputed by half a dozen or moro military loaders, who cannot be saii to profess any princip/e (without doing great violence to tho word,) but who are ready to oppose all adversa? ries by force of arms, and to shoot or banish any rival, whom fortune may deliver into their hands. There appears to be no " people" there, in our sense of that term. The mure adventurous range themselves under one br other of the chiefs, the rest of the people are never heard of, exoept when they are forced to pay some heavy sum of money to an adverso chieftain. It is altogether curious, to find after nearly four centuries bf European civilization, such an anomalous state of affairs, neither more nor less than actual brigandage gov? erning a large, populous and healthy country. Why such is the case is ah enquiry foreign to our present purpose. The French troops,.we learned by telegraph yesterday, have at last finally evacuated the city of Mexico. In the same issue yesterday, we also published the French Emperor's address to the Corps L?gislatif, on tho re-assembling of that body. In it there is the following reference to the Mexican expedition : "In another part of tho globe we have been obliged to employ force to repress legitimate grievances, and we have endeavored to raise an ann cient empire. The happy results at first obtained were compromised by an inauspicious concur? rence of circumstances. The guiding idea of the Mexican expedition was an elevated one, to Tequ? ?ate a people, and impart among them ideas ot order and progress; to open vast outlets to our commerce, and leave the recognition of services rendered to civilization to mark our path. Such was my desire and yours; but as soon as the ex . tent of our sacrifices appeared to me to exoeed the interests which had called us across the ocean, I determined, of my own accord, the recall of our armv corps, in order that the Government ot tho United States might comprehend that it was only the absence of conciliation in policy which had embittered relations, which, for the welfare of both countries, should remain friendly." A most unfortunate faux pas, this, of His Im? perial Majesty. This reference, finely drawn, and highly diplomatically non-committal though it is, will not impose on any one. It will not heighten the respect for his government in the eyes of the United States. It will not soften the animosity, entertained by MAXIMILIAN and his friends, for such abandonment; nor will it soothe the irritation or tue French people, who feel a double resent thogreat expuuu. ..i-, .-- .-._,.,_ its failure has inflicted on the national prestige. It is a lame and impotent conclusion to a magnificent enterprise; and Ute end might have been different. The Emperor MAXIMILIAN, in his own justifica? tion, and with a view of obtaining the moral sup? port cf the public opinion of Europe, has sent a circular to his diplomatic agents in Europe. He reminds the world that before he consented to as? sume the crown he stipulated that the nation he was invited to rule should be consulted, and he also received large promises of foreign support and of extraordinary means. A powerful alliance was guaranteed him by a solemn treaty. TTia re? sources, largely obtained in the form of a loan from France, melted away rapidly under the ne? cessity of providing for the support of a very costly foreign army. The civil war was protract? ed by reason of the presence of foreign troops. Before it had boen poasiMe tc conceive tho ob? stacles that presented themselves to the forma? tion of a sufficiently numerous Mexican army it was announced that the French proposed retiring before the stipulated time, and the concentration of their forces soon afterward commenced, leaving large districts abandoned to the inroads of the dis? affected. This naturally had the effect of disheart? ening the Imperialists and of encouraging the In? surgents, and the civil war, which had begun to languish, quickly blazed up again. The Emperor MAXIMILIAN was informed that negotiations had been set on foot for the formation of an alliance between France and the United States, with the object of restoring peace and tranquility to Mexi? co, and that it had been laid down as a basis of such alliance that the Mexican Government should assume a republican form and a liberal character. This was a very severe blow to MAXIMILIAN, and to that numerous and respectable part of the Mex? ican people which had gladly gathered round him, trusting in his good intention and hopeful, that under his rule, days of happiness and prosperi? ty might yet be in store for their long-distracted county. AH such hopes were now frustrated, and fresh gloom and many misfortunes accumulated over Mexico. Obviously, the fundamental condition of the agreement between France and the United States was imcompatible with the existence of the Empire and with the integrity of the Mexican terri? tory. The country was rapidly reverting to a state of anarchy. Encouraged by the prospect of plunder and bloodshed, the outlaws and brigands BO plenti ful in Mexico flocked to the insurgent banner. The Emperor MAXIMILIAN saw no escape from the false position created for him by the desertion of his ally except resignation of th crown which that ally had, in the first instance, induced him to accept. He resolved to restore to the nation the power it had placed in his hands. As a preliminary step to the carrying out of that intention, he con? voked at Orizaba his Council of Ministers and the Council of State. Both those bodies strongly op? posed bis abdication, which they declared would lead to the ruin of the country, and urged him to organize the national army, and make efforts to maintain himself. It was suggested that a nation? al congress on an ample basis should be convoked in order that it might decide what form of govern? ment the country desired, propose measures of organization, and adopt means of creating re? sources for carrying on the administration. The Council of State agreed to deliberate on these measures, and the Emperor consented to remain at the head of affairs and to labor for the regener? ation of the country. A manifesto was published, addressed to the nation. It is acknowledged that the Emperor, of the French gave instructions to Marshal BAZAINE to support MAXIMILIAN'S Govern? ment and plans, so far as was consistent with the concentration of troops and other steps that had to be taken to prepare for their approaching evac? uation of Mexico. At the last advices hy mail the embarkation of the French was progressing, and a large fleet of trans? ports waa expected to take tho whole force away. It was probable the last French soldier would be shipped before or by the lat of March. Marshal BAZAINE, acting under instructions. from home, doubtless, had issued a circular or proclamation informing Frenchmen who should join the Mexi? can army that they would do so at tho peril of be? ing denationalized. They have no permission to join the Mexican army, and if they do they must not look to France for protection. NAPOLEON ia resolved to w*?h his hands clean of any possible difficulty with or about Mexico hereafter. Kia evident, too, that Marshal BAZAINE wanta MAXIMILIAN and the Imperialists ont of the way so that the liberal General PoBPraTO DIAZ may occu? py the City of Mexico as Boon ?a he evacuates it. DIAZ was approaching the city. . The Marshal see? ing, probably, that this would prevent unnecessary bloodshed end arnarchy, acta in ? spirit of human? ity toward the inhabitants. In the meantime, several of the Mexican chiefs, who had linked their fortunes with tho empire, were preparing to make a desperate straggle to save themselves. MARQUEZ and HTBAMON were most conspicnons in tjjo new movement against JUABEZ. They wero mak:ug forced loans, and MARQUEZ was most active in doing this in tho City of Mexico, Puebla and Very Cruz. Men wore being pressed into the sorvico of theso chiefs in the most rigorous manner, and sent- forward to chock the march of tho labor?is towards the Capitol. But hardly any ono boliev?s they would be successful. With all tho effartB they were making their moans and force wero small. Their severe measures of impressment and forced loans would operate against thom as soon as tho Liberals approached. Tho opinion was general that both MASQUEZ and MERAMON would soon.have to fly from the country, if not captured, to savo themselves. And since then wo have had a telegraphic dispatch announc? ing the capturo of MIR AITON. SO also 'las the cap? turo of OniEOAbeen announced; andth^r? oortain ly has boen a rumor of tho capture also of JUABEZ. It wDl'bo some time boforo wo can hear the truth as regards affairs in Mexico; and still longer be? fore such truth will bo creditable to the people of that country, or pleasant to their friends, neigh? bors and well-wishers.
