November 27jJ853.■ Arrival of the State of Georgia. The excellent Steamship Slate of Georgia, Capt. Walton, arrived hero Saturday morning from ••Philadelphia, bringing out 111 passengers. She experienced heavy head winds the entire paasago, and on Thursday, south of Capo Lookout, encoun tered a severe gale from S. E. to S. S.

Hopowell Preebyteiy reported 84 Minis ters and 32 Churches} Presbytery of Georgian- ported 12 Ministen and 9 Churches; Flint River Presbytery reported 17 Ministers and 41 Churches; Chorokee Presbytery Reported 15 Ministen and 28 Churches, The Preebyteiy of Florida failed to re port, bat had last year 7 Ministers and 13 Churches; making with the above reports, a total of 75 Mini*- tors and 123 Churches. Communicants reported to last General Assembly 4,989. ' Reference to the Minutes of the General Assem bly for 1820 shows there were but 7 Presbyterian Ministen then in this State, and the aggregate of members in the lew churches existing, about 340.— This exhibits no small increase in the space of 32 years. Much of the time of Synod, Friday, was taken up in the Consideration of a complaint of Jake* Rus sel against a judicial decision of Flint River Pres bytery. No little diacoadon occurred on collateral points, as, for oxample, whether certain documents referred to in the minutes of Presbytery, but not spread upon them; were to be held as part of the Record ol the body, and received accordingly. It 1 was voted to receive them, and they were conse quently road in the review of the case. The par ties were then fully heard, the Rev. Dr. Bowman being permitted, atMr. Russel's request, to assist him. Late in the evoning, the final vote was taken, which'revolted thus, (the judicatory complained of, not being, of course, allowed to vote,} not sustain- ed, 17 sustained in part, 3. So, the complainant was non-suited. The Synod re-assembled at 91 o’clock Saturday morning. Nothing of general interest came before the body until tho order of the day for half-past 10 o’clock, A. M., at which time Synod listened to an interesting address from the Rev. Dr. C. C. Jones, Secretary of the Presbyterian Board ot Domestic Missions, on the claims of the Board he represents. It is well known that Dr. Jones is a native of Lib erty county, in our own State, nor is be, by any means, an onhonored or ungrateful son of our soil. Two years since, he resigned a Professor’s chair in the Theological Seminary at Columbia, S. C., to accept the responsible post which he now occupies. Since he entered upon the discharge of its duties, he has infused new life and efficiency into every de partment of a work, by no means inefficiently con ducted before. The objects of the Board of Domestic Missions are, briefly, to bend out ministers to now and unoc cupied fields in our country, to plant churches and aid in supporting the ministry among them (if they need aid) until they become self-sustaining, and to assist old and feeble churches in the samo way. Dr. Jones’ address was exceedingly interesting. .The subetanco cannot hero be given. Dr. Jones was followed by the Rev. Jno. Ltion- < XON Wilson, missionary at Gaboon, Western Af rica. He is a- native of the neighboring State of South Carolina, and baa spent a largo part of an actiVe/lahorous life, on that coast, ordinarily so on' friendly to the life and health of the white man. It ' :Ss pleasing to see this worthy, self-denying man looking so well. Thu public bad an opportunity of boarlng thia devoted missionary at the Independent Presbyterian Church last evening. His remarks in regard to his field of labor wore listened to by the .’Synod with grefei' attention. ' , After these addresses, Synod proceeded to fix the place ahd time of their next meeting. By a unani mous vote, Synod determined to meet at Athens, oh the 1st of Nov. 1853, at half-past 7 P. M. - Other business of minor importance was trans acted, when Synod had recesa until half-past 3 P. M. Sjmod having met after recess, various Commit tees reported, and their reports were acted upon, until the order of the day for 4 o’clock P. M., when an interesting discussion arose on the organization of Presbyterian churches with colored members and elders. This was brought up by an overture asking the sentiments of Synod on the subject. Reported Casualty on the Waterce. There was a report in circulation last evening (said to have been received by one of tho Augusts boats) tint the passenger train crossing the Wateree river in Carolina, bad been ingulphcd, and the passengers drowned—smong them Col. Singleton and his daughter. We are satisfied that this rumor is incorrect, on the authority of a passenger by the Charleston boat last evening. He conversed with a friend in Charleston yesterday morning that had just arrived from Augusta, who bad heard of no such accident, as he must have dono, bad it oc curred. The Steameb Fiianklin broke bercentral shaft when four days out, on her last trip hence. Sho made the rest of the paseage with one wheel and canvas. She reached Cowee on the 8th inst., and went into Southampton docks tho next day for re pairs, which Will occupy from four to six weeks. SmmNG l* Port.—As an indication of the busi ness of our city, we mentidn the fact that there are nineteen ships now here loading for Liverpool. At tho same time last year, there was but one.

They had been two of the most prominent men in Philadelphia, andhad. filled many important sta tions. Mri Sergeant was a member of Congress at the time of the Missouri controversy, and was one of tho strongest advocates of the compibrnise adopt- edni that time. In 1832.be was a. candidate for tho Vico Presidency on the ticket with Mr. Clay, who ran against Gen. Jackson.

Ather- The Freshet—Central Hall road. o are still without intelligent* in regard to tho ict from points beyond the 10ih station on tiro Central Railroad. But little injury wu doos this side tho 79th mile, and that was toon repaired. Ai present the cars are running only to thafpolnt, though Thursday's train succeeded in getting as iar as station 9} before tbs water reached Its high est. The train is atUl there, being unable to pro ceed on or return. Tho injury at Buckhetd Crock, 791 miles from tho city, Is supposed to be considera ble. A portion of tho track has certainly, been washed away, but tho extoot of the damage cannot be ascertained until the water to brides. At Back*, camp Creek, 94 tnilce from town, another break oc curred, which it was believed would bo repaired by last night. Similar damago was dono at Ba ker’s- Creek (96 miles) but that bad been made passable at 3 o’clock yesterday. The abutment of the bridge at tho 99th mile bos boon carried away, and tho water was flowing over the track from that point ta station 101 Saturday evoning. Mr. Superintendent Millkn left town Satnrday morning, with hands, pile drivers, utensils, and every thing rise neceesary to put the track in order with the least possible delay. He succeeded by means of rafts in roachingthe 10th station, as will be seen by tho subjoined dispatch. Wo understand the Central Company has in its employ betwoensu and seven hundred hands, four hundred of whom are now within the vicinity of the overflowed dis trict. With’ this force tho Company will be able to repair in 48 hours any injury the track may tain, short of tho destruction of tho bridge over the Oconee river The following is the dispatch to which wo have alluded: Mnmtxx, Sunday, 3 P. M. The water of Buekhead Creek has overflowed i he Road for three quarters oi a mile. It has now fallen 18 inches. The track at the 84 milo post is all under water for half a. mile, the water falling slowly. The bridges at the 99th mile and tho lOOUt mile are injured slightly. Baker’s branch is passa ge, and Bark-camp Creek will be by night. We cannot do much until the water falls. We havo nothing as yet from any point above the 100th mile —st. Four culverts on the Waynesboro’ Road are washed out; M. B. Millsn. It is proper to state that Mr. Cuyler, the Presi dent of the Road, left town Wednesday morning for Chattanooga. He has probably returned to Ma con ere this, and may now bo engaged in repairing injuries sustained in that quarter. The communication by telegraph with Macon, as well as .with Augusta, is still interrupted. Tho following dispatch to the Charleston papers con tains the only information we have seen of the freshet at Augusta s Augusta, Friday, 8 o'clock, P. M. Within the past day or two we have bad heavy rains, which havo extended into tho interior. Along the line of tho Georgia Railroad heavy rains nave fallen, and it is apprehended that soroo portions of that road have sutTored damage. The water is now running on Bay street, in this city, on a line with the fence of the upper wharves. The river has risen sixteen or seventeen feet, and is still rising, about two inches per hour. It will, how ever, have to rise ten feet more before it can reach Broad-street. Of about four thousand bales of Cot ton that were upon tho wharf, awaiting shipment, all have been saved in a wot state, except about two hundred bales, which drilled off. A steamer, however, has been sent after thorn, and it is antici pated that nearly all of them will be savod also. The Charleston Roenisg News oi Saturday con tains the following dispatch. There is some con fusion in regard to the date, but we infer that it was despatched from Augusta at 10 o’clock, 30 minutes, Saturday morning. It is as follows: Augusta, 10 o’clock, 30 P. M. Tho river is at a stand—no damage done. The water is 8 feet below the freshet of August. Later. Tho passenger train went op yesterday as far as the 79 milo post, and returned last evoning, being unable to proceed beyond that point. On the return of the train, the water from Savannah, river was ri sing and nearly overflowing tho track at the 64 mile post. It was at that point that the waters of the Savannah and Ogeechee rivers met in 1840. It is not believed that the Road will be injured by the present overflow at that place. [From Saturday's Republican.] Synod of Georgia. Tho Synod of Georgia met in the First Presby terian Church in this city (Rev. Mr. Ross’s,) on Wednesday evening, the 24th inst., at 71 o’clock, P. M., and was opened with a sermon by the Mod erator, the Rev. J. B. Ross, from Gsl. 6: 14, “ God forbid that I should glory, save in tho Cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world is crucified unto me, and I unto the world.” A quorum being found present, the Synod was afterwards opened with prayer, the roll called, and an adjournment made for the next morning at nine o’clock. THURSDAY, 25TH NOV., 9 O’CLOCK, A. X. The Synod met and was opened with prayer. A large number of members who bad been detained by certain mishaps to the railway train from Macon on yesterday, appeared, and rendering their excuse, took their seats. Tho number of Ministen present from the Presbyteries of Hopewell, Georgia, Hint River and Cherokee, was thirty-seven; Elders twelve. Presbytery of Florida not represented. Tho Synod, proceeding to the choice of a Mod erator, after several ballotings, the Rev. Nathan Hoyt, D. D., of Athens, was declared elected. At this stage of the proceedings, the Synod was remind ed that this was tho day appointed by the Governor of our State, as a day of general Thanksgiving, and s kind offer irom the Independent Presbyterian Church in this city, of tho use of their house of worship, for devotional exercises appropriate to tho day, was accepted and Synod had recess to meet there. At 11 o’clock, A. M., an interesting discourse by the Rev. Mr. Breck, of Macon, was listenod to, and after its delivery, the Synod was called to order, and the Moderator elect, the Rev. Dr. Hoyt, wae duly installed. Rev. A. Shot well was cho sen temporary Clerk. Synod then adjourned to meet in the First Pres byterian Church at 31 o’clock, P. M., for devotional exercises. These exercises occurring at the hour fixed, Synod appointed certain orders of the day for to-morrow, and adjourned to meet next day at i past 9 o’clock. FRIDAY, NOV. 26, 91 O’CLOCK, A. X. Synod met and was opened with prayer. Min utes of yesterday’s session were read and corroctod. The minutes of the sessions at Griffin lost year were also read. The Rev. Jno. Leighton Wilson, of tho Synod of South Carolina, and for eighteen years past a de voted Missionary on the Coast of Western Africa, being present was invited to sit as a corresponding member. The orders of the day were then successively at tended to, viz: The presentation of the narratives of the state of religion and records of tho several Presbyteries—the report of the Board ol Directors of the Theological Seminary of tho Synods of South-Carolina and Georgia, at Columbia, S. C., and the report of the Board of Directors of the Oglethorpe University, all of which were severally referred to various Committees. ROLL OF8YNOD. Hopewell Presbyter*,—Rev. Henry fiafford, Her. A.

'There are themes of tenderness which need only to be mentioned to touch the chords of graUful and sacred feeling, in every oo* who can admire the gifted and the good. Reooot events have brought Mfore ns some associations and coincidences which it is a gratification to our feelings to refer to. On tho 30th of list month there died at bis elegant ostitis in Taunton, Mass., tho Hon. Francis Bay- liss, concerning whom there are interesting amo- cintions with some of the glorious dead. Mr. Bay- lies may not have boen greatly known in the coun try at large as a politician or statesman; though in his" Old Bay State” he was well known ss one of the mo&t cultivated men in the nation. He is known in the country, chiefly ss having been U. S. Minis ter to Brazil in the first part of Gen. Jackson’s ad ministration, and a member of Congress for some half dozen years. In political matters he also fig ured conspicuously as candidate for Governor, and as a member of the Massachusetts Legislature for many successive years. But it was chiefly ss one of thoeo genial souls ad dicted to the pursuit of elegant letters and refined and generous hospitality, that Mr. Baylies was known to the beet advantage. His liberal means, and tho refin ing influence of foreign travel, had put him into acquaintance with many living men of tho first mark, and into possession of the materials concern ing tho history of the distinguished dead, to a de gree which few professed literary men have enjoyed to an equal extent. So accurate and so largo was his acquaintance with tho men of the past, as well as of his own generation, that he would ever have been regarded os an oracle in any matters of biog raphy and history. Tho family of the lamented Alexander Hamilton had long looked to Mr. Baylies as the most competent biographer to whom they would entrust the papers and the reputation of that great statesman for the production of a work adequate to the merits of that gifted and ill-fated man. But the love for literary leisure, the besetting fault of Mr. Baylies'practical lifo, caused a too long delay; and the papers and documents ior Ham ilton’s life were at length placed in other bands. The amount of original authorities which ho also possessed, rendered him, perhaps equal to any American writer, tho proper person to write our early colonial and heroic history. This was partly realised in Mr. Baylies”* History of Plymouth,” a work of standard authority, which duly bespeaks his capability in whatever else he may have wished to torn his bind to. It was tho fortune of this gentloman to become possessed of a largo amount ot tho personal me morials ol tho gallant and giftod General James Wolfe, tho conqueror of Quebec. Ho could havo reproduced the lifo of.that accomplished youug hero as few other men could have dono, perhaps none equally so in this country. Somo of his pictures of Wolfe’s life would awakon far more vivid impressions of that remarkable young man, than his graccftd monument in Westminster Abbey, or even than West’s immortal picture of the Vic tory aud tho Death of Wolfe. Mr. Bayues was fond of tracing coincidences of character amongst distinguished mon. Thus tho poetic taste of the hero was seen in its more per fect realization, in that remarkable young poet and divine, who bora the same family name, Charles Wolfe, of Dublin. Tho General and tho Poet both died at the early age of thirty-three years, though tho latter at a comparatively recent date. The di vine was cqt down in the high zenith of his career; but he elicited from his contemporaries the tribute of being ono of the most gifted men of this century. Lord Byron declared, concerning his Ode on the Death of Sir John Moore, beginning will*— ‘‘ Not a drum was heard, nor a runcral note—” that it was "tho most perfect ode in the English language." But General Wolfe, though without leaving any finished memorial ot his own composition, was in spirit and in genius tho equal of some of those whose works tho world cannot willingly let die.— Ho was a great admirer and friend of Thomas Gray. Macaulay has somewhere said, that the only work of living famo produced by English ge nius in the middle half of the eighteenth century, was the two hundred lines of Gray’s Elegy. Ho considers this the only specimen of first rate pro duction in ail that generation. That touching pro duction had been but recently published, when the gallant Wolfe was called into the wilds of Cana da, on his mission which proved his path of glory to the grave. On the evening before the attack on Quebec, while the boats with muffled oars were carrying the British army down the St. Lawrence, Wolfe was reclining on the stem of his barge, with a circle of officersand friends liko minded with himself. While tho solemn silence of the night was only dis turbed by the gentle plashing of tho waters, Wolfe recited from memory, the whole of Gray’s immortal Elegy; and as tho ensigns of Franco were dimly descried through the pale starlight, the hero, point ing with bis sword to the frowning heights, said to his friends: "I would rather be the author of this poem than the conqacfor of that city, to-morrow.” The foreshadowing of bis approaching fate scorned to bring before his mind the images of that elegy, which in more instances than this, have loomed up before the visions of dying genius. It is with impressions of poculiar interest, that the prcscut writer remembers when Mr. Baylies was ooce s guest in bis house, that he recited with matchless effect, some of those passages in Gray, which bad bocomo associated with the history of Wolfe, the hero, and the contemporary of the poet. And there is a touching sequel to the history of such coincidences, in the last evening of Mr. Web ster’s life on earth. While the inspired Psalms of the sweet singer of Israel had strengthened tho hope of tho dyingstatesmsn, in an interval of calm ness he called for Gray ; and while all of earth was now receding, and the visions of eternity were opening, the words of beauty which lingered last on tho ears of Wolfe, softened the spirit of him who had not received too much gratitude from tho country he had served so well, “Tho paths of glory lead but to the grave."

Editors:—Among tho many notions thrown mit to tho public by the various writers in our papers touching the proposed Kailroad west ward, I wish to record mino in the hopo of finding an echo in tho judgment of others and giving a new turn to the subject. It is highly probable that tho Brunswick Road will be built. The company has purchased its iron at £8 15s., payablo in its bonds at par. Though this will cost the Company at least $60 per ton landed st Brunswick, it will give such assurance to the contractors and place them in such a position that, with a fair de gree of confidence and a continuance of the pres ent prosperous Appearance of things, they can hardly fail to go through. This will insure the completion of the road, howorer, even if the present company should break down, to .a point whm-o it.will be pro ductive. Now is it desirable for Savannah to un dertake a large expenditure ior a rival work just now, if it is probable that we can avail of tho ad vantages of this ono l Might we not wait awhile the development of the country which the Bruns wick Road will produce before undertaking to push out a rival work! It seems to me that the true interests of Savan nah rather point out to us to construct a Railroad along tho seaboard, touching at tho chief sea ports of Georgia to Jacksonville, Florida. This will rose th e Brunswick Road at or near its eastern terminus, bring to us all the travol of our Sea Is land counties, with the large business to bo derived from the St. John’s River and Southern Florida.— We should thus secure the travel from Brunswick through 8avanoab, and its trade even if tho cotton received there should come to us more cheaply by steamboats. We should afford our neighbors of Florida a good opening to build a Road across the Isthmus to come into our Road any where between Jacksonville and St. Mary’s. Tbore will be a large and increasing trade coming down the St. John’s to Jacksonville, its natural sea port, and the travel flowing from that trade would, of necessity, past through Savannah northward. We might even one day expect to see the shortest and quickest route to Cuba over this Road to Jacksonville, theneo by steamboat to the Lakes or head waters of tho St. John’s, sod thence by plank or Railroad to Cape Sable. Thus so inland route from one extreme of our country to another would bo established, and ono could pass from Cape Sable, in Nova Scotia, to Cape Sable; in Florida, nearly all the way by Rail road, while by 60 miles only of sea-travel, in addi tion, tho voyager for ploasure or business would he in Cuba. • A Railroad from Savannah to Jacksonville would receive aid along its entire route; had would find a Urge and increasing busineai at every point— Whether, therefore, for the securing of a very val uable trade beyond the power of diversion, or os a fair investment of capital, I urge upon yon the care ful contemplation and serious discussion of this project. GIVIS. GnvRmi"—Nine Yori NEW-YORK, Nov.23,1E52. Though Lieut. Daveoport has been removed from the temporary command of the steamer Orescent City, yet so far as I am ablo to ascertain, it is determined that that now famous vessel will sail again on Saturday next for New Orleans vis Hav ana, with the immortal Purser Smith oo board.— This, as you are aware, is right in the teeth of the mandate of th* Captain General—hU declaration now being explicit eaougb, that tho steamer shall not be permitted to eater tho port with said Smith on board. Mr. Geo.,Law, the principal owner of the Crescent City, has been walled upon by a num ber of our merchants, largely interested in the com merce of Cuba with a view to penuado him to change Ids Purser, and, by a little seeming concession, thus avoid results which cannot but be of the moot se rious character. Law, however, is undentood to turn a deaf ear to all such remonstrances, on the ground that were he to substitute somebody else for Smith, the Cubsni would boast of it as a victory gained over him; And so the matter stands at this writing. PpbUo anxiety is worked up to the high est pitch-dor this next voyago of this ill-stared steamer is universally spoken of as the one which is to bring things to a crisis. Our fillibustors were terribly disappointed that the Oeseent City was not fired into and sunk on hor last voyage, for had she been so dealt by, they would havo raisod a war cry which they flatter thomaelvoe the administra tion of Mr. Fillmore would not havo dared to shut his ears to. As it is, thoy compensate themselves with the reflection that there is yot one more chance left for a “brush witk the Dons." Amiable poo- plo—aint they t ^Thackeray delivend tho second lecture of his course before tho Mercantile Library Association last night. The subject,of the lecture was Con greve and Addison. The locturer introduced va rious passages from both of these authors—reading them in the most charming manner and comment ing upon them at considerable length. His third lecture will be on Friday evening—*ubjcet “ Steole and the times of Quoon Anno." Tho church was again crowded last night, and all the tickets for the remaining lectures havo been engaged. Tho Mer cantile Library Association will probably reolizo a handsomo sum from these lectures. Last season they lost somo two hundred dollars by their lecture*, and no wonder, considering the "old fogies” they en gaged. The health of our city is remarkably good it present.

To the Editors of the Republican : Gentlemen:—Although not even a subscriber to your paper, I take the liberty of calling your atten tion, and through you thb attention of tho peoplo of Savannah, to the importance to your dty of lending assistance to tho Girard and Mobile Rail road enterprise. Whenever that road is comple ted, and completed it will bo, Savannah will bo its greatest beneficiary. I desire to direct your atten tion to the work from having seen an article in your paper in regard to the subscription, by your energetic city, of $500,000 to the Savannah and Albany Road. 1 havo no doubt from what I can learn that the stock will pay well, and incidentally through the extension of commerce, that your city will bo benefitted thrico that amount. I am equal ly well assured, that if capitalists and the publio possessed the necessary information in regard to the route of.and the country adjacont to, tho Girard and Mobile Road, tho enterprise would be taken hold of immediately. If the road were built, Savannah would feet the trade and travel of the greater part of this county, all of Barbour, Macon, Piko, Dale, Coffee, Butler, Connanuch and Coving ton. The first four namod counties aro densely populated, and the peoplo sober and industrious. Now, Sirs, the work will be completed, but it must necessarily languish for years, unless wo get assistance; wo havo not tho capital ourselveo. Every intelligent farmer and planter along the route secs its importance, and feels that it will sure ly pay with right management. Have you over thought of the fact, that when this road is opened, two persons leaving Mobile at tho samo time, ono by way of the Alabama river and the other by the proposed road, tho former would not roach Mont gomery in leas than 45 hours, while the latter, at the rate of 20 miles per hour, would arrive in Sa vannah in 25 horns. Who would hesitate between the two route* whether going east or west?— The Road will pass through a level country, abounding in fine timber and requiring but few bridges. If Savannah would tako tho matter in hand, it would give confidence in the enterprise and hasten its completion. A selfish policy would lead your people to say, t*l*t us wait yet awhile—we are destined in the end to reap tho benefits of the Girard Sc Mobile Road." True, but it will bo a great while first. Much of the trade and all the travel from the counties named, now go by way ol At lanta to Charleston; and you know how difficult it is to divert trade from old and eetabiishod channels. Our officers and directors are worthy business men, who feel an interest in the Road. Three things I would impress upon your peoplo: 1—The cooperation of Savannah will expedite the completion of the Road j—2. the completion of tho Road will call for a double track on the Central Uo«d, oiberwiM* U cannot do itiA business that will- be offered3. tho stock, when the Road is finish ed, will pay 10 per cent. RUSSELL. Important from Havana. The Orescent City arrived at Now-York Mon day morning, boaring tho broad penant of tho Inde- fatigabl* Purser Smith. According to a statement published In all tho Now-York papers, "tho Cres cent CUy arrived at tbo More on tbo evening of tho 16th instant, after sunset, and had to remain outside until tho next morning. Tho Spanish steam frigate Isabel Segundo, which was cruising off tho port, ■poko the Oeseent dty, and after learning her namo and destination, pawod on. After entering tho port, to which no objection was made, the Captain of tho Fort came alongside, and informed Captain Davenport that Uio mails and all poisons could land except Purser Smith. Upon Capt. Davenport expressing himself pleased st the termination of tho difficulties heretofore exist ing, the Captain of tbo Port assured him that it was only for this trip} but should Mr. Smith return in th* ship from Now-York, no communication with the shore would bo allowed. Capt. D. expressed his regret at this, and remarked that tho difficulty was beooming more oomplicatod by this measure, and that, although tho right to excludo any individual from the island, whom tho, authorities might con sider prejudicial to their authority, was not donied, ho could not conoede the samo to tho. Captain-Gen eral to prohibit the malls and all passongors, simply because ono person on board was obnoxious to his oxcollonoy. To this no reply was made. Capt. Davenport was told whon he left Havana for Now-Orleans, on tho outward trip, that tho ahip would not bo permit ted to enter tho port on hor return if Mr. Smith came in hor; but it seems the Captain-General was induced to change his mind a few days previous to her arrival, in consideration that her voyage would not bo completed until her return to New-York, and that no change could tako placo in thoofficors before that timo. On the e vo of sailing Captain D., received a note from Messrs. Drako & Co., inclos ing a copy oi one to them from Martin Gallano.tho Political Socrotary of the Captain-Goneral. The lettor, together with ono from Capt. D. to Mossn. Drake Sc. Co., will be found bolow. There were three English war steamers in Hav ana, and the report was that they were awaiting to see tho result of the " Oeseent City affair,” many stories being in circulation about hor being fired into, dec. Judge Sharkey, the American Consul, called on board the Oeseent City, and bad a long conversation with Captain Davenport upon tho state of affirirs in Havana."

The Legislature of tho Stato of Puebla has passed a decree authorizing tho local government to tako, in the enterprise of the Isthmus of Tehuantepec, as many shares as it might deem propor, and, more over, to concur in the work by sending certain con victs on the spot. It was reported in the city that General Arista intended to resign tbo Presidency; also, that a portion of the brigade Castillo had gone over to the enemy; but these rumors are without foundation. Tho Picayune has received letters from the oity of Mexico, which state that Arista has demanded to head the troops in person against the Revolution ists. Gen.

Tho reason for this is said to be an injury eho received in her last trip up tho Mississippi, which render* it necessary that she should undergo repairs. The Cherokee is to tako her placo, and the officersand crew of the Oeseent City, including Mr. Purser Smith, are ail to bo transferred to her. So the matter remains precisely as before, unless Spanish punctilio should bo satisfied with the mere change of vessels.
