New Orleans papers of ihe 8lh anuounco the titival of the frigate Saratoga at Pensacola the 6th inat. with advices from Vera Cruz to the 27th. She brings fuller though uo later advices from Mexico. The rumor that the present cougress had dissolved is confirmed. The new congress was to assemble in January.

The rumor was current that the commissioners of the Mexican government repaired toQueretaro, after having an interview with Mr. Trist, and it is supposed they have had a confer enco with the supremo government ou the subject of peace. This was but rumor. Nothing definite i known of the decisions come to in such conference, if held. Most of the American troops now 111 the capital, are about to leavo on expeditions to Pther places, to occupy the capital's of the various states, It is defiuilely settled that the whole republic of Mexico is to be occupied by the American forces, until those in power in Mexico, who have authority to act, make satisfactory reparation to the American government, and agree to the propositions of peace.

Railroad to Sag Harbor. The inhabitants of Sag Harbor have held a meeting, to devise measures to extend a branch of the Long Island railroud from Riverhead to Sa? Harbor. A committee of nine persons was appointed to correspond with the president and directors of the Long Island Railroad co. upon the subject. Jamaica (L.

Farmer. The improvement alluded to above is one which ouyilttobo effected and, if the people of Sag Harbor, and between that place and Riverhead, kuow their true interest, will be. A branch running to and from Sag Harbor would very materially increase the prosperity of the Long Islaud railroad, too. During the summer, now, one has to pay the most exorbitant price of one dollar as fare from Greenport where the railroad terminates, across to Sag Harbor, though the distaue'e is only sums ten or twelve miles, even by a roundabout way. JLet the inhabitants of Sag Harbor do this good work, and not merely talk abont Charter convention.

This body, as will be seen by the proceedings of last evening, have at last come lo the conclusion to leave offtalkiug and go to work in earnest. They have discovered that there remain bat about six weeks to finish the charter and Bend it to Albany for the approval of the legislature at the present session. In order to do this they have lessened the number required for a quorum, and determined to meet four evenings in each week. Very judicious measures both. Now wo shall seo what we will see.

Ferry boat collision. The Fulton ferry boat Wyandank was run into by the small steamer Dash yesterday, which struck her in the bows doing some slight damage, which was more thiu returned by the lerry boat. If she had struck heron the side of the cabin, as would have been the case had the collision occurred a moment later, some damage to the lives of passengers might have been the consequence. The passengers were terribly frightened, particularly the females. Yesterday afternoon, just after the steamboat Rhode Island left the dock for Stonington, when off "Whitehall, she came in contact with tho South fer.

ry steamboat Transit, on her way from Brooklyn to New York. The R. I. had her wheel unshipped and broken and her machinery was also a good deal damaged. She anchored immediately and sent for another boat to take the mail bags which she had on board for the British steamship Caledonia, and what passengers were left, most of them av idg gone ashore in small boats.

The Transit received but little damage. It was very foggy at the time of the accident. The commissioner of pensions represents the business of. his department so much accumulated lha1 eleven or twelve additional clerks are necessary to bring up the business of tho year. According to the record the number of applications under the act of February Ilth, 1847, received at the pension office in the fow mouths preceding, before the report was made up, were the 18,360, of which number, 1,950 applied for treasury scrip, and 16,410 for land.

Our naval borce. Accord iug to the official reports wo now have in commission 5 ships of the line, 1 razee, 4 frigates, 13 sloops, 6 brigs, 1 1 schooners, 4 bumb gun vessels, 1 ordinance transport, 12 steamers, 6 store ships total 83. Vessels in ordinary Nov. 1847 1 ship of the line, 8 frigatrs, 10 sloops of war, 2 steamer total 21. The official estimates for the naval service the coniiug year amount toovor ten millions, besides six millions for the marine corps.

Government parade ground. We understand that Uncle Sam has in contemplation tho purchase of all or a large portion of the lauds fronting the "Wallabotit bay between the Brooklyn navy yard and the Marine nospital. It is intended to erect on the purchase an edifice for barracks, surrounded by an ample parade ground. The Mexican mines. It is settled that the Mexican mines at San Luis and Zacatecas are lo bo la ken possession of by the United States troops, aud the next arrival from Mexico will probably bring tho news of their capture.

Their annual produce is estimated at twenty millions of dollars, yielding to the government six hundred thousand dollars. Long Island railroad. The receipts of the I. railroad company for the first 11 days of 1848, were 3,374 91. The recepu for the Bamo period of time in 1847 were S23D4 22, showing an increase of 980 68, equal lo about 41 per cent.

As this splendid production is rapidly approaching lie nnmnfnl inn wu rloam It 'it r.w..v.,, uwhi igiiv iu can particular i attention by our readers to its high claims. i It may not be generally known that this import ant work originally appeared in England under tho I auspices of the "Society for the diffusion of useju1 knowledge," of which Lord Brougham was the resident. While ita authorship enlisting some of the he6t pens of the day in its several departments costs the projectors the prodigious sum of fifty thou sand dollars. One distinguishing feature in this I masterly production, consists in its novel and admi ru jle arrangement. A plan originally suggested by Dr.

Henry in his history ussiVninrr to senarate di i visions the following departments, viz: the history of the popular progress, civil and military operations, progress of art and manufacture, domestic habits of each age, Tho advantages of this mode of classification are self evident, for e.xamnle. uues mo roaucr wisn 10 trace me history of the "constitution, government, and laws," or tho history of literature, science, and the fine arts," he may take up either, and pursue it without having his mind embarrassed by other matters. Each of those subjects forms a continuous and connected history of itself. This work embodios therefore a whole library of important information, in a compact and accessible form, beautifullv pre sented and profusely illustrated. Besides which the true understanding uf the history of Great Brilain the only intelligible way of acquiring that knowledge, is by this means, and wo have therefore in this Pictorial history of England, at once tho most, accurato picturesque and deeply interesting that linn ever been given lo tho world.

In this respect, it is a moru valuable work than Allison's popular history, or indeed any other modern limes, for it is, as said, wrilleu i.i masterly style, and for interest of narrative, possesses all tho fascinations 'of romance. The pictorial illustrations of which there are an immense number, aild irreallv to the vahinnf llio by rendering inoro impressive and definite the representations of the narrative. Tho portrait of the heroes of old, 1'ieir dress, seals, armor, and all the accessaries of private life are given in fine eugraviugs, for the originals of which a hundred old library museums have been ransacked. To read (his work, and examine the illustrations with care is in itself in, education. An intelligent child of ten years of age, having been found pouring over the work with great avidity for a whole inoruing, was asked by her mother why she was applying so long at a lime Her reply was, Mother, I cannot help it the bo won't let me leuve it This is really a very just description of the effects which tho work produces upon more matured minds.

We ought perhaps to add that the work is now in course of publication by Harpers Brothers, iu numbers 25 cents each, and that already about two thirds of the work ars issued. Emporium. lieported fur the Daily Eagle. EBvoukiyu convention. Jan 14.

Mr. Anthony of fered the following preamble and resolution: Whereas this convention consists of but 35 mem hers, therefore, Resolved, That 18 shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business.

The president gave it as his opinion that the reso Juti would not be legal. The question was taken and the resolution was adopted by vote of 12 ayes and 7 navs. Mr Taylor offered the following: Whereas the number of members of the city convention has been reduced by death and otherwise so that it has be come difficult to obtain a quorum ol the original members of the convention to transact its business. Therefore, resolved, that a committee of one person be appoiuted to solicit an amendment of ihe law calling the convention by the legislature so that 12 members shall hereafter constitute a quorum. Adopted by 14 ayes to noes and Mr.

Taylor appointed as the committee. Expenses or the city Mr. Osborn moved the adoption of the following: Resolved, That the com. on finance be iiislructed to inquire iuto the expediency of a provision requiring the common council, in the disbursement of moneys raised fur general purprses, to expend ihe same in such sections of the city us shall be most needful, and in such manner as shall be most conducive to the general welfare, without any reg. rd whatever lo the locality whence said moneys may have been received: adopted.

Official appointments. Mr. Osborn offered the following: Whereas the whole object ofthe creation of a public office is the public good, and whereasex perience in the duties of all public officers is essentially necessary to the efficieut discharge of said duties; and whereas the public interests require thai the common council should as far as practicable be relieved of their patronage in the appointment of persons to office. Therefore, Resolved, That in the opinion of this convention the tenure ol all public offices, except such as ure now elective, should depend solely on tho competency uud good behavior ol" the incumbents.

Capt. Taylor and commander Long noar Capt. Stringham. He read his dt tatchmjut then addressed himself to Capt. Taylor as follows: Sir 1 resign thg commaudof the U.

S. ship Ohio to you. She is a noble ship works well and as fino a ship as ever you will have the honor to command." Slightly turning and also addressing commander Long: Gentlemen, the crew are a fine set of men. But like ourselves, sir for they are men they have their faults. TIiny ore mostly young, hardy, active and obedient, capable of performing every evolution required ol'tliein.

In presenting to you the forward warranted officers, I can recommend them to you as steady, upright, correct and moral men who know their duty and can do anything required of them." Tho young gentlemen: "Sir if I have not corrected ihcm every lime they have deserved it, it has not been my fault. They are apprentices. They are put nero to learu. lliey arc young and many nf them took at their first career and I have endeavored toiustil in them the principles that will qualify them for officers and gentlemen. And these turning lo the lieutenants, surgeons and officer of the marine corps who tiro nearest to you lliey are au liouor to auy station in life and geutlo meu whom you can depend upon, and lliev will never disgrace their country, placed in any situa tion.

1 lie captaiu made his bow in a most courtly uud graceful maimer and retired into the cabin After a short interval Capt. re appeared, accompanied by Capts. Taylor and Long he had thrown off his uniform and was clad in thegaib of citizen. He shook hands and speke a kind word to all as he passed by the officers, and at the gangway he addressed a few words to the crew there assembled to take a final leave of their commander. He had but few words to say is last was to remind them of their besetting iniemperauce.

He said: "It is your main fault, avoid it, and all will go well with you Hereupon he shook hands with CaPt. Taylor and Long and bowed as he went over tho gangway into his gig nlready manned and alcugsidc. As he pulled off ilia order was given to mau the rigging by the officer of the deck: "Top men lay aloft; lower yard men, aloft." It needed not a second order; the men outvied each other all were eager to be the foremost tho rigging was manned the boat lay at distauce on her oars a signal, the roll of a drum was given, and three hearty cheers rent the air. The gig's crew and Capt. S.

responded the latter 6tood in the stern sheets uncovered and vaved his hat; the men stood up holding their oars erect the captain sat down and the oars were lot fall. Another roll of the drum and the Voices of 800 generous tars commingled in one mass pealed forth the last friendly greeting to their commander.

Coroner Abraham held au iuques morning upon the body of William Mora a deck hand of our of ihe Catharine ferry boats. It appeared from the testimony that the deceased had attended a ball last night in New York, and on his return it is supposed that he accidentally fell off the boat at the slip at the Brooklyn side. The first intimation had of the unfortunate occurrence was the discovery of his hot flouting in the water at daylight this morning. The body was immediately grappled for and recovered. Verdict of tho jury "accidentally drowned." The deceased was a native of Ireland, twenty five years of age, and generally esteemed by those acquainted with him.

Bini's concert. This entertainment last evening at the Lyceum, was all that was expected. The boy Jander is truly a wonder. His performance on the violin was astonishing especially La Carnivale de Venise." The "New York Brass band march," and above all else "The Austrian retreat," on two guitars by Bini aud Schnepf, was without a parallel. We never knew what tho guitar was before and had little idea of the wonderful richness and variety of the instrument.

Mrs. Jones too was equal to herself in the vocal department. We are glad to learn that Bini will give us another chance soon.

All kinds of Bookbinding done in a nont and substantial manner, Books, Periodicals and Music bound to uattern Fopsr ruled to any pattern, 16 ti Tue new German band mentioned by us the other riuy, uud noticed in the New York Herald as below, give concert iu Brooklyn at tho Jorulemou street academy room, next Wednesday evening Steycrmarkische musical society. The seventh concert of this celebrated baud took placo last night, at 111 Tabernacle, uud was attended by tho elite nd fashiou ofthe city, who were attracted, no doubt, by the great fame of these musicians. Their soft, clear, and mellifluous notes, either in waltz or march, quadrille or overture, are so harmonious the musical mind is so enraptured and enchained by thoir brilliant execution and combined melody that when the last piei in the programme is played, the audi enco seem anxious for a repetition of tho pcrfor and regret their departure, from a circled the sweetest tones and moat inspiring sounds sounds sent forlli with such care and procision, with the. auxiliary aid of several brass instruments, the tones ol which are breathed with such a fine modulating science and sweetness, that ovory other instrument can bo distinctly heard, und yet all Ihe uccessary power of the bass notes, which aro the groundwork nf harmony, is still preserved throughout every bar and slave.

It may be considered by some, that we speak too highly of this band; but let the uubiassed musical critic atteud thoir concerts, uud listen to their martial airs aud overtures to their delightful waltzes, an above all, to some of the. plaintive melodies of their native laud, which are whispered the ear with such delicacy of tone, gentleness, uud sweetness, aud decline in such exquisite melody that, when passed, the mind seems us if awakened from rosy dreams of tho world of harmony. The first piece uus. a grand march, which showed off the brass instruments lo great advantage. The next, overture to the opera, Fra Diavolo," by Auber, iu which the whole, baud was in uioliou.

displayed the rare abilites of Ihe performers in their correct reading, precise time, aud even intonations The Insignificant waltz, by Strauss, was excellent, and the finale of tho first part, from the opera Tho siege of CoiinthV' was executed with great science. The variations for the flute, played by Fr. Ristzcl, und composed by Fursleiiuu, was given with such siveoi tones and ruceful shakes, a to elicit a round of cheers IVorn the audience. The Stradella quadrilles were lively and inspiriting, and the European blum euleso, or grand potpourri, by Morelli, containing some beautiful gems from favorite operas, was a de linhtfu I blending of sweet sounds and unsurpassed harmony. The overture lo tho opera "Oberon," by Weber, evinced great musical skill aud sound discipline and Minci's morning salute," principally executed by tho leader and two other violin players, was a splendid performance the Bhifling and beautiful blending of half tones, were given with great precision aud sweetness.

The grand gallop, with song, closed tho entertaiumeut but the audience were so enraptured that they would have more, aud they cheered until the returned, and played a railroad overture, and the audience separated highly delighted with the evening's entertainment.
