At Greytown two American butchers , -who were trading with the U . S . frigate Saranac , were arrested by military authority for the alleged violation of some municipal rules . Captain Kelly , of the U . S . Navy , promptly ordered some marines into boats to go ashore , but before they landed the men were released . The ¦ Saranac ' s presence had given rise to much excitement previously . A letter from Grey town says , " The commander of the Saranac , before leaving San Juan delSur , drove the Nicaraguan troops from that place , and appears to have orders to open the route , or clear it thoroughly preparatory to opening it .

A duel was " fought on the 17 th near Richmond , between Mr . Jennings Wise , editor of the Enquirer , and the Hon . Sherrard Clemens , ' . member of Congress . Mr .

MEXICO . Letters from America say that aa to Mexico , the time has gone by when a Government can have any policy . The country is so distracted with civil revolution , the Government is so powerless for protection , the value of property is so rapidly depreciating , that it is really impossible to speak of Mexico as one would speak of an ordinary country . The New York Herald says : — " The condition of the country , as depicted in our correspondence , is sad in the extreme . The spirit of robbery has been of late so much developed that it seems to have become an established Institution , and even the Government seems to have no other mode of livelihood . The case of Mr . Escandon exemplifies this in a remarkable degree . He was imprisoned because he declined to lend the Government n
sum of money on the notes of hand given by tho pricstH . His liberation was effected by his friends paying tho amount without his consent , and then the official journals praise him for his great enterprise and public spirit . It would seem , from the tenor of our letters from tho capital , that an early change is expected there . In the midst of tho general prostration , three or four parties « re plotting to seize upon power , but there seems to bo no chance for their success . Looking upon tho movements from an outside , point of view , it would tfeom that If Vidnurri , now at San Luis Potosl , should effect a junction with Pcgollado , who commands in tho west , and the two should really unite their efforts , they will soon lead , t hoi r forces to the city of Mexico . At present Vidaurri seems to have the bust chance of winning . "
In consequence of tho nnarohy which prevails , M . JjQon Fayro , tho French Consul at Tamplco , has written to the commander of tho French naval station in tho Gulf of Mexico to claim protection for tho French in that place .

MISCELLA N E O U S . The Court . —Her Majesty and her family continue in good health at Balmoral . The Court Circular has nothing to tell us , except that the Queen drives out every day and dines at the castle in the evening . 1 mice Alfred and the Duke of Cambridge have returned from Germany ; the former has gone to Balmoral . It is expected that the Court will return from Balmoral about the 15 th of October . The weather continues highly favourable for deer-stalking , but the Prince Consort has not been so successful in the forest this year as he was in former seasons . —The Prince of Wales makes up for his father ' s ill-luck , having killed his first stag in the forest of Balmoral on Tuesday .

Lord Goderich on Education . —At a tea-party at the Knaresborough Literary Institution , on Tuesday , this nobleman delivered a long speech , which may be summed up as follows : —A public library for the working classes is a convenience not to be despised . If a ' system of instruction by classes be added to it so much the better , but , if not , that is no reason why a man mav not go to a . public room , take down . a book , and read it with as much pleasure or advantage as he can . Men are naturally different . Some read for amusement , some for instruction , some skim the surface , some attempt , to go deep ; and if a man choose to study one branch of knowledge or another , he will be so much the better able to understand arid appreciate all the rest that he reads
in the more common way . -Discursive reading of light literature , amid other mechanics , in a room , but occupied by many coming arid going * will not make a man a scholar , or a mathematician , or an historian , or able to converse and write letters with accuracy . If he wants these powers he must tflke " special means for acquiring them . If a man wants to conduct a business he must learn his trade ; if he wants to write letters and keep accounts , he must practise- both . The man of business or clerk who gives all his time to his duties , and grudges a quarter of an hour a day to general reading , will know no more than what he learns in his business . A man may do what he likes , and may almost be what he likes , only he must not be under the delusion that while he is doing one thing he is learning
