General Cairo has been elected
President for six . months : he has declared the liberty of the ; press . ,. The party of Alvarez , the leader of the insurrectionists , is ., reported to have committed great cruelties . The English ship Daring is at Vera Cruz , for ilie purpose of embarking Santa Anna on his arrival . A Spanish steamer has been likewise placed at his flefvKe . South America is in its accustomed state of insurrection and civil war . Generals Garidola and I ^ opez ' have , it is said , attacked Honduras , and routed General Cabanas . Colonels Kinney and Walker were stirring ; but the latter had given up his arms at Costa Rica , The people of that town , however , had

Mosquito coast ; and the English sloop-of-war lijTolverine has become a total wreck . The Monnoas , i £ . ia said , must speedily abandon their settlements , or starve , ' the grasshoppers having destroyed the third Srofci of grain .

Puelat , Ravage assaults , and murders , committed froq ^ entlyj upon the most frivolous provocation , ' arc of do ^ VjOiad almost hourly occurrence ; and the people are m 4 na , mpured of this brigandish state of existence , that Jurici will often by their verdicts directly encourage the o ^^ ens In taking the law into their own hands .

Sistmg an officer . At first the wound was considered mortal , but now it is thought he will recover . L . D . Loring was shot through the body last Tuesday morning ; the ball passed through him and lodged in Mr . Jimmison ' s thigh . Mr . Loring is considered dangerous ; Mr . Jimmison will recover . The ball was not intended for these parties , but for a ' Greaser' " ( a cant term of reproach for a Mexican ) " who had beat a fellow over the head . It was purely accidental ; nobody to blame ; took place in a fandango house . A desperado of the name of Brown , on the Mercedes , it is reported , killed three men this week ; they were attempting to arrest him . " Funeral of Mr . Feargus O'Connor . —The remains of Mr . Feargus O'Connor were buried in the Kensalgreen Cemetery on Monday . A large body of sympathisers assembled in Russell-square , and marched thence with banners and devices to the cemetery . One of these flags , bearing the words " Liberte , Egalite , Fraternite" is said to have figured in some of the French revolutions . An unseemly disturbance took place at the burial-ground . Some of the mob , who had been shut out by the police , scaled the walls , and it was with difficulty that the clergyman could read the service . This having been accomplished , Mr . William Jones , a working-man from Liverpool , made an oration of the usual Chartist character , and the crowd dispersed . The late Acoiuent at Cremornb-gabdbns . —We are glad to state , on the authority of the Secretary to the Wellington College , that the accident which took place at the fete given at Cremorne-gardens for the benefit of that institution on the 13 th ult ., has proved to be less serious to the soldiers employed than was a nticipated . No bones were broken ; most of the men wore able to return to their duty in a few days after the accident , and it is expected that the others will soon be able to do so . The amount realised by the fete was 11061 . 14 s . Gd . British Association for the Advancement of Science . —The twenty-fifth meeting of this association was opened at Glasgow on Wednesday . The Earl of Harrowby took the chair , and the Duke of Argylo delivered a long oration , reviewing the history of science for the past year . Fire ax a Barn . —Tho clothes of a little girl in the hop-grounds near Maidstone caught fire , and , in her fright , she ran into a barn and rolled herself in some straw in whioh a child was sleeping . Tho straw took fire , and the barn was soon alight . An Irishwoman entered the barn , dragged out tho elder child , and threw her into a pond , where she narrowly escaped drowning . Sho now lies at tho workhouse , fearfully injured . Tho younger child was burnt to death . United Orders Provident Society . —Tho seventh jubilee of tho restoration of tho ancient gatehouse of St .

to facilitate that process by means of a Government commission ; but as Englishmen preferred to be self-governed , rather than be directed by authority , more convenient means of effecting the object were offered by the society . Several other speakers addressed the meeting ; and the evening passed with much enthusiasm and unity of feeling .
way—a building which is associated with the history of the early knights ' of St . John of Jerusalem , and with the publication , by Edward Cave , of the Gentleman's Magazine , and consequently with the memory of Dr . Johnson . The toast of " the antiquities and antiquaries of Great Britain , and the historical and literary associations of St . John ' s Gate , " was responded to by Mr . Horace St . John . The chairman ( Mr . Arthur Scratchley , F . R . S . A ., ) afterwards enlarged upon the character and objects of the society , and said that what the united Provident Orders now proposed to effect , if it were possible , was the union of existing friendly and provident societies into one body , a principle which had been approved by some eminent statesmen , and would find favour with the House of Commons .

'tdbicsinvolved 1 ft M& -Bennett ' s career as a journalist , and set Forth in a Ifaxbti entertaining ^ aijWer by his biographer , are the joint-stock frauds of 162 & 6 , ; tKe Kean' riot * duelling , the Irish Repeal agitation , and theatrical Wfev ^ nis * ' oiifcof all number . Our last extract shall be a " phrenological ^ ut Ene * ' * - ^ :- ' . v ' £ ' ?^ Hrenolb £ ically considered , Mr . Bennett presents a very interesting study . His jjel& ^ teem is large—his reverence not deficient . Benevolence is largely developed . Wit and mirthfulnesa are very prominent . Courage and firmness are' very full . His jdestruetivenesB is small . Conscientiousness is prominent . The perceptive organs are exceedingly large , and his intuition uncommonly fall . Eventuality and individuality are large . Causality is strongly marked . Approbativenes 9 is full—adhesiveness moderate . Firmness is a prominent organ .- He has order quite large . Colour , size , weight , and time are full , and about equal to each other . Tune is small . Ideality is moderate . Language is not large . Memory is well developed . The whole frontal region is massive above and below . . The temperament is the nervous-sanguine , and easily excited to impulses from the sense of its own power , or from the excitation of tne ruling faculties ,, which lie in the anterior portion of the brain . .. oDJfc Bard-gives us , in his volume entitled Waikna , a very charming narrative of ian artist ' s wanderings bri the ^ Mosquito shore ! " Waikna , " it should be borne in mind , ' means in the Mosquito tongue—Man ; though the title is Mr -pr 6 iidly' claimed as . the generic designation of the people of the entire coast . " Always ; entertaining , the story of Mr . Bard has its not unfrequeht ^ ert 68 s or breathless interest , " and the descriptions of savage scenery are a ^ good as anything in Typee or Ofnoo . '' The Prophet of Mormdhism Unveiled may . have its use , though we doubt ^ whether any fiuch can outweigh the sin against good taste committed by jxrofkei ' of the kind . It professes to be an authentic disclosure of the ^ Prophet ' s" careerV and of the laws and customs of Mormonism . The waiting ' -is on a par with " startling revelations" commonly addressed to m ' orTjj ' a minds , under strong pretence of upholding the cause of morality . 9 PH ^ ftotitispiece ( a ludicrous work of art ) , representing " Brigham Young making insulting proposals to Lizzie Monroe in her prison / ' is so like frontSspieces ^ e n ave seen in the windows of unrecognised publishers , that i ^ g Sve us " quite a turn , " and suggested grave doubts whether the book ^ atite properly -within the reviewer ' s ken . However , a glance at the re-^ eefcafete publisher ' s name on the title-page determined us . 0 ^^ ^' author of 4 / diferti Mysteries Explained and Exposed seeks to prove tliajfc ^ tbe " strange phenomena" of " spirits-manifestations" " exclusively mtindane arid"physical , " that " nothing can be more unphilosophidal than to a&triBute' such phenbmfena to the interposition of disembodied spirits , " but that ^ the miracles narrated in the Bible rest on evidence of a totally different and much more' positive ^ character . ' Between the author ' s reasoning and his tliebTogical assumptions we should find it a hopeless attempt to see fair .
Confining our attention to his theory of " spirit manifestations , " we find that he is accustomed to use the terms " electricity , " " magnetism , " and " odylic force indifferently , for some power " pre-existing in nature , " and sufficient to account for all the wonders of spirit-rapping without the supposition of any external spirit agency whatever . Having briefly stated the Rev . A . Mohan ' s argument , we are constrained to add that his book is very dry reading . The Very Rererehd John Baptist Pagant supplies us , in his book entitled The End of the World , with reasons for supposing that our age is destined to witness the second coming of Christ—to Whom he dedicates this little volume . m Catherine , the Egyptian Slave m ~ 1852 , is a story which pretends to a considerable basis of fact . We are left to form our own judgment whether or not the fanciful element is identical with the author ' s contempt for Eastern customs and zealous hatred of Eastern religion .

SADLER'S WELLS THEATRE . On Saturday last , Sadxbk ' s Wjejlls Theatbe was opened for the season . The popularity of Mr . Pheips , created and reflected by the press , then showed in its brightest colours . The house was hot with enthusiasm . When the manager came on , in the form and costume of the Hunchback , was there not a riot of applause , as though the Hunchback were a new play , and the pit and boxes full of the author ' s very cordial friends ? Master Walter was in perfection , Mis 3 Tbavbbs played Helen to the Modus of Mr . Robinson , with emphasis and judgment , Mr . H . Mabston " did" Clifford , and Mr . Lewis kept alive the keener and quieter sense of humour in the more subtle-minded part of the audience , by his really original impersonation of
Fathom . Of course , however , the point of the performance consisted an Miss Margaret Ebtjknje ' s debut as Julia . The young lady is sli g ht and fair , has an infantine expression in her eyes , and looks almost too timid for the part . But she is not timid . Her action is spirited , bold , free from , consciousness or restraint . A thorough self-possession accompanies her * through all the situations of the play . Yet , with rare courage and rare art , she has not the advantage of physical power . Her voice does not compass the passion of some of the later dialogues , so that some words are lost in the effort to pronounce them with effect . Still her first appearance was a success ; for it proved her talents , which the audience encouraged by much applause . Mr . Phejlps is said to have a store of new pieces for the seasonamong others a play by Mr . Slotts , author of The . Templar . ~
