So, briefly, the revolution in Tamaulipaa atands at picaent a oar soil polluted by foreign feet, and its hospita'ity abused. The 5th article of one of our treaties aas the boundary line, which ia the Rio Grande, shall be religioualy observed by the two Governments and this is the second time that oar national honor is called in question. Mr.

Bi cHAHAB inatructed the United States Marehal for this District to use all his efforts to ferret out the violatis of tfce much abused act of 1619, while strict orders at the same time, to the same effect, were iaaued by the PreaideeU to the military commandant on the froi.tirr. You may ask why are not the leaden an this affair arrested where are our civil authorities our troops Our Cammixsioner is anxioealy hoping for some one to make the necessary affidavit, in order that he may bind abeae partira over; but no citizen seems inclined ar willing to da it. Ba cannot act himself independently, for hia functiena are thoae of a judge, which preclude his acting as prosecutor. As regards the militaiy, my pen hesitates in regret and mortification. I feel mortified at the old story, 1d bat lamentably true, mortified to know that Mexican yea can croaa the river from their banners and hundreds to the fifteen ar twenty troops that here represent our great nation, which dictates absolute terms to the combiaed worfd.

So it ia enter the Fort, and instead of the display which weuld fill an American 'a heart with pride, you weuld find the flag waving over a atilloesa as deep aa the graves over which it floita. Occasionally a bugle sounds the hour as it lags away in tha hot atmo-aphere or a wagon departs with bread and beans for a scouting party or a miniature parade tikes place to abow tire work that here ia a mJhtary station. One company (only) of Artillery is here, rand here it haa been kept ever since the close of he war Mexico. Deaertioes, discharges, added to two seoriges peculiar to the clioi'e, which killed three of ita officers and a number men. have reduced it to what it is, while a third scourge aeea-s coming to finish what its predecessors left undone.

What then can tle commanding officer de He carnal make troops out of clay, er bring the dead to life. It is new hia intention, I believe, to po.t two orthree bodies of five or six each. no more can be apaied without including himself, or manifest injury to th aervice, at as many ferries to prevent crooning. It is true that the Revolutionists may come in a paity 200 or 300, but tt may be that they will make a precipitate retreat when they see the large body oppoaed to them, and prefer this coura to being annihilated. Our Government ia tainry at fault hero auuie where, and I have no time to waste Ib patching up fig loaves for the naked truth.

I pray Congress may remedy the evil so that na-tiona will not point at our inefficiency any longer, and we be, in ttuth, what we boast, powerful and wise, and wise as powerful. Herewith I scad you an official communication from the Mexican Consul in this City to our Commissioner, which, for candor, modesty, and brevity, should be a model to all Mexican diplomatists. The esse is stated plainly, and to the paint. Mexico is calling on as her powerful neighbor to observe treaty stipulations, and the good faith now existiag between the two countries. She is right in what ahe asks.

She tells us what has been done on our territoiy, and what is about to be repeated. The communication is worth our serious atteation, and I submit it for the benefit and information of abose who may be on speaking terms with the gentleman. or not Gntlty af Pela Oyate Gallf from the Prm-idenct Journal. We had not heard of any deletenous'eflTect from tbe oyster taken in our Bay until we received the airfitxed communication. The oyster near the city have for sometime been injured by tbe resid j-um from the gas-works, and other impure substances thrown into the rivtr.

We begin to think, however, that we must hold rselves much obliged to the gas company if tbey do not kill the good people with their arjominiMe elUuvia, and say nothing about tbe ejsti rs and the fish. The following corr.mumcation is from a medical correspondent ABB OfR OV8TE8S F0IS0(OC The Nsw-Voil Times asks the above question, and goes on to give some s'atemeuTs, which, if fully emitted to credence, would seem to answer tbe question in the aiinnative. It states that several well-known citizens of New-York have recently died of a choleraic disease, which seemed to have been induced by eating oysters. Inquiries made of several physicians in that City, in large practice, develop the fact that a large number of cases ef severe cholera morbus and spasmodic cholera have occurred, which are chargeable to the ousters. The Alexandria Oazrtte says that oysters from the Chesapeake and its trsbutaries bare proved poisonous this season.

The Baltimore papers aay that aeverai who have eaten raw oyaters of late have suddenly died soon afttr and a correspondent ofthe National JntrUigrncer quotes the author, of an old fisherman that tiiey are not saf or wholetom eating thia year. To the above we ean add some facts which have came under our own observation in this city within a short time. We have seen less than fire casea of' cholera morbus, hich were evidently caused by eating rr oysters from our river tore of them very severe. Physicians with whom ws have conversed report other eases, which BDoear to I have reached from a aimilsr cause. If these reports, from various sources, are true, it would appear that there is something deleterious in Mac oyster at tbia time.

That all are net so, is perfecdy evident from the vast quantiti" consumed without any evil result. What is the cause I Why is it that sickness and death occasionally icsult from partaking of this usually very wholesome food Some will probably deny the eonclusiona altogether, and ssy that the oysters have nothing to do with it that they still remain the karmleas bivalve of former years. We must confess that we are not of that number, though ws have never partaken of them more freely than far the last few weeks, and without any injurious result still, we believe that many cases of sick- sets, this it ar.d some deaths, are clearly chargeable to article of food. It has been suueested. as rerarda aome of our own river ojsera," that the products ofthe gas works htve had something to do with tieir delete- luiuuri.

If it is pecvea icsi itie ejstera of waters are capable are unable to rthy of treful a oysters are let us kno t-leir charao- from tbe cod. that consumers may not be unpleasantly reminded their risks, aad that the calling of many hoaeat as aaey not be iBtcrferod with.

OCTOBER30, 1854 AN Diabolical Attempt to Slow up a Hotel.

Fortunafa Escape of the Inmates. LIST Of THE INJURED. A little twfote 2 o'clock on Saturday afternoon, tbe inmates af EasLb's Hotel, in Park Row, were throw a into great consternation and alarm by an explosion of gunpowder, which took place in the flice on tbe first floor of lbs house. The greatest confusion soon prevailed on the premise, and when tbe alarm of fire was sounded from tbe City Hall bell, the lady boarders, attache sha Tiber-maids, and otheis about she premises, not fully an- dentahdirg the nature of the occarrence, made a 1 recipiteus rush to their respective apparttnenta in cider to save their effects, while ethers, believing that to main in the tuilding was dangarous, start- -ed for the street. Some minutes elapaed before quiet was restored, when an explanation of the' cause ofthe commotion was made.

i It appears that a gentleman, one of the ledgers ia the Hotel, who was about taking his departure, went behind the counter for tbe pur pose of selecting his baggage, and while the porter, Pbtsb Mohan, was putting out a small valise, a terrific explosion took place. At the time of the explosion there were but few i persona in the office. Tin officers of tbe Independent and Second Ward Police, on their arrival at tbe scene, immediately took measures to ferret out the whole affair. From fragments which were collected and closely inspect! by the authorities, it appears that in the leather valise had been deposited a small tin car, containing probably about twelve pounds of powr'er. In cne end was placed the muzzles of a m.

all double-barreled pistol, snd it as believed that the whole was so arranged thst by moving the valise by its handle, it would cause to take fire -some combustible materials lying oesiae tbe powder. Tbe doors and windows of the Hotel were fortunately open at the time, so that no great resistance was offered to the explosive force oi the powder. It is evident that Lad the Hotel been tightly closed, th explosion would have been sufficiently powerful to have blown it to piece. The front door were open, also those leading to tbe dining-room and elsewhere. Tbe damage done to the varioua apartments is upwarda of 83,000.

From the appoarance of the building inside, one would suppose that lightning bad struck the office and continued in a circuitous route over aa area of 300 feet, carrying destruction with it wherever it went. The windows at the extreme end of the dining room were completely demolished, as were aUo twelve rooms on the south side. The entire walls, ceilinga, and windows of the wash-room, entry, reading-room, and bar-room, were torn to piicea, and even a heavy lath and plaster partition was stove in. Tbe panic among the gnest of the Hotel was beyond all description, and it was the ger-eral opinion of the citizen that anany lives wrre lost. The startling occurrenoe, however, re suited very fortunately in one respect, as not a single human being was killed.

Tbe Hotel was quickly surrounded by a large concourse of people, intense excitement prevailed. Annexed is a list of TBI IlfJURKD. A your.g man named Lxwls was slightly injured while sitting in the reading room. As the ceiling fell near him a email bit of lime flew into bis eye. He suffered great pain for a time, but he speecfly recovered and went to bis home.

P-STIB Mob an, tbe baggage man, who took ap tbe valise, was so shockingly burnt about the bead and body it was necessary to convey hiaa to toe HoapitaJTwbere be new lie. It will sorn time before he will be able te leave that institution. His sufferings are intense, and his situation is truly one of commi-se ration Mr. R. Dowd, of Schenectady, N.

one of tbe guests, was badly cut about the head. He has howver, retained to bia home. Mr. D. I.

Scacr-LU, Superintendent ofthe New-Haven and New-London Railroad, was considerably injured by a door in swicging to striking him on the hesd. Mr. H. Lyman Powers, who waa standing in kis office, within five feet of the place where the valise was placed, had a narrow escape. He fouad himself unaccountably (to him) propelled with great force through the open compartment of tbe office box into the street, where be immediately recovered his self-possession, and returned to place a sufficient number of persons to protect tbe property of those sojourning in the hotel, and to transact his ordinary business.

DBTAILBO DESCRIPTION OF THB IXFKRNAL MACHINE. One of oar reporters was at the office of the Chief of the Police yesterday afternoon, where tbe fragment of the terrible machine had been removed. From information received from Mr. Matbell, to. getber witb an examination of the pieces, our reporter has been enabled to form an opinion relative to tbe interior arrangement af the ingenious engine of destruction.

He is led to believe that a keg of gunpowder containing twelve and a half pounds, aa near as could be judged from the staves and heads of the vessel, was placed in a valise. In the bead of the keg were bored two boles, and the right barrel of a double. barreled pistol was inserted in one and through the other it is supposed that the keg was filled with powder after the insertion of the pistol as danger and difficulty would arise from forcing the pistol into a full vessel danger from the friction difficulty from the compactness with which the particles adhere. It is supposed that the breech of the left barrel was filled with detonating powder, equivalent in explosive and expansive power to one pound of ordinary rifle or blasting powder. It is probable that a semi circular band, enclosing a spring, connected witb the left barrel trigger, and ommuni-callng witb the bandies of tb valise by wire, caused tbe spring to act on the trigger, and thereby secured the certainty of explosion whenever the valise was taken by the handle.

This supposition is strengthened by tbe fact thai a newly exploded detonating cap was found on the nipple of the lft barrel, whilst none was found on the right, evidently proving that it waa left in tbe keg for tbe purpose of steadying tha pistol, and to bring the compartment containing the detonating powder exactly to bear on th orifice. Tbe implements, supposed to bo weights, were simply two horizontal traveling cog irons, such as ar general though on a different scale -in upright cranes, or pale drivers. These were evidently meant, with the shot, to scatter destruction, aad may materially aid ia discovering the perpetrator. Tbe absence of everything ia the shape of traveling necessariea, in tbe contents of the valise, clear, ly proves a diabolical intent.

Nct-Tti waa Conductor, and Thomas Engineer, left the us pen son Bridge at the usual tune on Thursdsv afternooa. The train consisted four first-class, two second-class, and two bag-' gage cars, snd had on board a large number of pas. sengeis. At St. George, it came up with a gravel train which was ff the track, and was delayed iu consequence about aa hour and a half.

When the tiain had got under away again, a freight train waa in advance, which it waa obliged to follow as far as Princeton thereby losing considerable more time. I At 1 A- M. the train left London. Afte having run some three or four miles from that plaee, the I ewlincer-head of the locomotive burst, which of course brought the train to a standstill. An engine was sent from London, which drew the train back j- to mat place, wncre anoiner rngme was anacnou, and tbe train again atarted for Windsor, going quit slow, the Conductor having given orders to tbe Engineer not to run at a rapid rate, aa the night was dsik and foggy.

When the train left London the second time, it was about four hours behind time. A few minutes after 5 o'clock, when near Bap-' tut Creek, tbe passenger train, which was pro- J- ceeding at trie rate oi auouc zu mnet an noar, came in collision with a gravel train which waa backing towards trie east at tne rate oi iu or 14 rnnes an hour. The gravel train waa composed of 15 cars, i heavily loaded with wet gravel. Tbe shock pro-i duced by the collision wss tremendous. The.

second class cars were smashed into atom, and nearly every person of them killed or dreadfully injured The first fiist-ciaas car was also badly smashed, and most of the passengers in the front part of it met with the same fate aa the passengers i in tbe second class cars. The scene presented after the collision was a i horrible one. Intermixed with the fragments of i the b-ken cars, dead bodies lay in prolusion, many" of them mangled in the moat dreadful manner while from out the heap of ruins proceeded the i groans and shrieks of the wounded. The passengris who were so fortunate as to cspe uninjured immediately set to work to draw. out the wounded and the dead from the heap of.

rums in wbich tney lay. At 11 clock. A. tbe bodies of twenty-five men, eleven women and ten children, had been brought to light, and it was sup- posed that from ten to twenty others yet remained' to be discovered. Twenty-one men aad twenty women and children were foand to be badly injured.

many of them fatally. Several of the dead were crushed out of all human sbapepresentioa a heart-; sickening sight. The two second-clsss ears, which bore the main brunt of the collision, were filled with emigrants, mostly Germans. The first first-cla is car, a nnm-i ber ef the inmates of which were killed and others wounded, also contained some emigrants, i Tbe second, third and fourth first-class ears were somewhat injured, and some of the passenger re- ceived tome injuries, but none, we understand, of a dinfrou character. I Mr.

K. P. Toms, of this city, who was on board the ill-fated train, and from whom we derived the greater portion ofthe foregoing melancholy partic- uiara, ialoimau that, in the opinion ofthe pa- eeriers, no blame attaches to either the conductor or engineer of the pataenger train. Tbe train was I thrawn behind time by a series of unfortunate cir-i con. stance over which ita officers bad no control.

and every measure was taken by them to guard against the occurrence of accident. From all the facta we have been able to aacer-! taia, tbe fault of tbe accident reals upon a wateb-, man, wbw fell asleep upon his post, and, on waking, iaformed tbe nv aster of the gravel train that the-: passenger train bad passed. Supposing this to be the fact, the gravel train started, and ia a short time csme in collision with the passenger train Two men oa the gravel train were killed. i Tbe engineer and fireman of the passenger train escaped almost miraculously from serious injury. An ong the passengers on tne express train were Thomas F.

Mkaohbb and O. A. Browmsom. At an early hour in the forenoon yesterday, several physicians from this city left for the seene of the disaster. 1 LATER.
