Religious Festival.—On Sunday, the
21st ult. a Religious Festival, for tho late
emancipation of the Catholics of the British
empire, was celebrated with great solemnity
in all the Catholic Churches of New Yor
and Brooklyn, with appropriate discourses
from the Reverend Clergy attached to theni.
A collection was made for the benefit of the
Orphan Asylum in Prince at*, and amounttd
to nearly $1,400. The churches it is said
were crowded to excess In Christ Church
in Ann-streot, every inch of aisles and o' ih«>
galleries were filled by people of all nation
and denominations, who were exceedingly
gratified with the order &Dd decorum tvilh
which the festival was conducted.

expected—that the dispatches were making
out for our Foreign Ministers, and he could
not leave the City until they were completed

10th July, befoVe he should be able to visit
Old Point, Our informant represents the
President as much fatigued by his incessant
engagements; but in very good spirits.”

been the hauteur displayed towatds gentle

compelled to withdraw from the Navy Com

Colonial Trade —The St. John (N. B.)
Courier, of the 13th ult* contradicts the
statement that the British goyernment had
determined to abolish all tonnage duties on
American vessels, entering the free ports of
'he British North American colonies; It is
true, that a petition to this effect, war drafted
by the Chamber of Commerce at St. John-
and forwarded through Sir Howard Douglas
to the Lords of the Committee of the Privy
Council of Trade ; but it is equally true, that
the petition was not granted. The Courier
rxproRies its rcg>et at this rrtult. and ndd6
— Oui >wn tq'v.iou is. that there still rc -
mains a disposition on the part both of Groat
Britain and 'lie United Suites to havo the
Colonial Trade regulated upon some perma
nent principle; and that endeavors to effect
this are lik« ty to be made soon.”
A correspondent of tho New York MorA
cantile Advertiser, referring to the prepara
tion making at Havana for the invasion
of Mexico, savs—“ Am>ng dther on
dits it is likewise buzzed that the Spanish
government has an understanding with San
ta Anna, who, you must bq aware, rules
over the extensive district of country lying
between Jalapn & Vera Cruz. He is a bold
unprincipled soldier—has 12,000 troops under
his command, whom ho pays by plundering
tbo convoys qf specie, on the route from the
capital to the sea port. It 19 believed that
he ond his men would shed their patriot pud'
die for the best paymaster. In whatever
point of view wo regard this project, tbo
consequences I apprehend must bo deplor
able for the island of Cuba. Every well
wisher ior tbo property of thie island would
rejoice at the failure of on enterprize, of
v which, even tho temporary stfcccss would
mly prove more permanently disastrous.” .

We quote primo 42l a 3 ; inferior to good 2
