In addition to the unfortunate passengers be

The funeral of the Rev. Peter Hammil, who
committed suicide in a railroad car some dis

evening last. It appears the Rev. Mr. Ham-
mil was, for some time previous to committing
the ant, in a very weak state of both mind aad
body, and was pronounced unfit for travelling,
althongh'rt should*unfortunately occur that the
gentleman did undertake a rather long trip be
fore he was convalescent. He was found in a 1

train, havi recommitted the act with a pen knife
However, he recovered perfect jjgnsciousness

ksagfa the engines were promptly in atten

pnch that it was beyond control, and it was
vsn- to see that the buildings should go, «Sl$e-
-i.lv when the intense beat rendered it impos
sible for the firemen to come sufficiently close

vice. All attention was therefore diraeted to

The New Orleans Times’ city of Mexico cor
respondence of the 11th says that the news from
the Baited States causes great agitation among
the imperialists in the State, aad extreme anxiety
among tbs most zealoas adheients of Maximilian.
They are discouraged, and every one seems to
feel the increasing despondency.
' The liberal forces are increasing rapidly in
every direaUon. The city papers daily cnronicle
continued lighting. The town of Santiago, near
Orizaba, has declared for Juarez, recognizing
General Garcia Uberal Governor of Vera Cruz.
The place offers greet advantage* to the liberals
as it pats them to connection with the State of
Tobaaee and Cbiepa. Various bodies of liberals
are united there, seriously menacing Orizaba it
self and the railroad from’Vera Crux. The im
perialists attacked the place twiee, and were se
verely repulsed, which caused a great sensation.
ftTbe Austrian Const Theirese baa been opera
ting in the mountains near Puebla, aad captur
ed some prisoners of importance.
An Austrian detachment in Abuatlan compos
ed of e company of lancers and a mountain how
itzer, was compelled to surrender to the liberals.
The Austrian who commanded and an imperialist
Officer were shot. 'The Austrian commander in
Michoacsn paroled some republicans, in the hope
that the Belgian prisoners would be Similarly
treated by the liberals. The advantages in that
State are decidedly is favor ot the liberals.
An official paper from Durango mentions the
appearance in that State of Geo. Pattona. who
joined the bands ot Corona aad Caliikr, their
combined forces amounting to twenty-five hun
dred men. The French were awaiting their
movements with great anxiety.
The French Gen. Negrete has issued aa order
that ^11 proprietors most arm their laborers to re
sist the liberals, and makes sail proprietors re
sponsible for the ects of the Juarists. This is
only giving arm* aad recruits to the liberals.
The Tampico oorrespondenoe is ot the most
discoeraginr kind. It is three months sinoe com
munication has been had with Ban Lais and the
interior. No merchandise can be transported
and trade is completely blocked. There are no
movements of imperialists in Sonora, Chihuahn,
Tabasco, Chi spa or Colima, which states are en
tirely in the bands of the liberals.
Five thousand Confederates ere enrolled in the

^having gained currency that the Empress
wonld risk Belgium to see bar sick father, and
