A decree ef the 27th of April accords to Messrs Mosso Bros, the privilege of constructing a railroad from Tain pleo to Mexico. The company is to be formed within a year, Chhtahua, May 7, 1855. There vu a secret despatch arrived here lait week )mi H H S. H., wherenpon twenty of the flneet horeea te be found were pressed into service, a company of twenty men was formed, with Col. Benches at their bead, and despatched the seme evening towards the Berth. The ''Know .-'omethings" suppose they have gene to Janas cr wherever the Boundary Commissioners may be, to arrest Senor Palizar, of the Mexican Bounda ry Ocmmlssion. The reasons given here are, that Santa Anna, growing impatient of the slow progress of the wrrk, wrote to Senor Salltar to push it with more ener gy and speed, to which Bennr Balizir replied that run mug the line without money, men or lustrum-nta. was net quite as easy as sitting in Meiico making cad laws, and spending government money. At this H. M. B. H. teak umbrage, and ordered his arrest Sallzer is saul to he the meet competent man In the republic for that work. Santa Anna, in bis policy towards this State, appears to aim at appressing the people so much that th-y would not eompiatn if they wers sold to the United States, or wore anything else to octur to them,so it were n change. Heretofore the merchants ocnid take money out of tbe State free ef duty to Guadaljara or Mexico, or sny otber part of the republic. Last week a law arrived from Mexico forcing a duty of 4 per oent. ea all moneys taken out of the State, even though it he for the purchase of goods to return to where the moriey is taken from. They collect ten per oent on nli money taken from this State to go oat of the country. The duties on the fr in tier of thi^Ute are so high that goods cannot bo introduced; henflw all intro duettos* are prohibited. It 1s the greatest in jnstioe that over was jiorpetrated on any people, and none but M*xi 'i law ooold eans would stand ft. That law oould have been equalled only by the one that followed. The people of this State were reduced to extreme poverty by the Indians taking &0 their rattle off. Not being aole to raise stock any longer, they turn their attention to agriculture growing tern, wheat As., which they found sale for at tbelr own doers, to speculators who foard a ready mar sot for the gram at oar frontier poets of FJ I'aso, L'mpia and other*.

The Indians won't a How them to raise e'ock, nor tbe govern ment eerm so they will bav* to steal or starve. This is (n th? tepnblio, and if It belonged to the United State#, would be tbe garden. The people are aB anxious for a change of rulers, but have not the con ? : wvst. uvv ia? cou rag* to proclaim.

After the capture of Zamora, the insurgent# took dif ferent routes; and what is almost incredible, whilst Hants Anna was on his way to the the interior to exter minate then, a considerable division of ths rebels, un der the oommnad ef Degoliado, were marching almost to the very walls of the capital DegoUado, with 1,500 horse, arrived within four leagues of this city. It Is said his presence had been Invoked by s certain partisan of the puros, named VUlanuevn, who bad promised to raise the standard of revolution within the city.

Had the President remained twsety four hours longer at Santa CI*re hi* entire army would have been exterminated Yon will readily understand that the Ministry were WhligeAto find loses pretext for this humiliating reverse, so tbef batched up a story, wh'ch thsy gave to the yrets, that the rebels, terrified at the approach of tenia Anna, had evacuated Arrio, and that the President, having no enemies to eonquer, nsoessarily returned to Morel a. Tomorrow Santa Ansa will be at Toluaa and will reach Mexico on Friday or Saturday. The 13th ia hia Stint's day, and he would net miss Its celebration en any account, as he receives magnificent presents on every return of this anniversary. It is reported to day, though I do not youch for its truth, that Santa Anna was twice attacked on h<s jour ney from Morelie, and loct a large number of baggage mules. It f* likewise rumored that the environs of Oor dvva and Perote have pronounced, with a view of cut ting off Santa Anna's retreat in case he endeavors to rearh Vera Cruz and quit th* country. It is said, too. tbat in the State of Zeeitee.es, eitoer at TruxlHo or at bomb* re re, there is another proounciamento, and that Sierra Gorda is on the point or revolting., I csnnot say how mnch truth there is in those stories. Another ru mor is that the Minister* BoniUa and Larss will resign upon the return of Santa Anna, hut this I positively do not believe. A mors certain piece of intelligenoo, and one infinitely graver than any yet msntionwl, is the capture of Mon terey by a few hundred insurgents, who erossed the Kie Grande at Lampagos. This event Is officially acknow ledged, but the nress endeavors to put it to the account of banolts and tmugglsrs. After taking Monterey, where they found thirty pieeso of artillery aod five or six the i sand muskets, tve insurgents took posB?ssirn of Haiti1!?, and marcbed upon San Luis Potosi The details of lae-e operations are not yet known It is said that Melchior Ocampo.

[Translated for the New York Hertld.] The Universal of Mexico dlseueiea in s eeries of arti cles the qnestios of Cabs, vis a vis of the United States. Is these it labors to shew the analogy between this ques tion and the Eastern question, and to prove that the Spanish American people are equally interested in re pelling the advance of the United States in that direc tion, as the Western Powers are in protecting Turkey from the Czar. The only difference between the two is, says the Universal, that Russia aspires to dominate in Europe in the name of despotism, and the United States aspires to dominate In America in the name of liberty. There it is monarchical tyranny which 1? scught to be imposed; bete it is popular tyranny. Repugnant as both are, the last is most unaupportable, because it is hypo critical, and is exercised in the largest extension. It is hypocritical, because it is covered with the .mask of liberty; and it la exercised in a wider space, because the people are everywhere. When a monarch is a tyrant h* can be fled from; how can one escape from tyranny when the tyrant is the people fee* for thorn who have followed the march of events for two years paet, the sympathies existing between the United state* and Russia are not a mystery The latter exercise in America the same role as thi former does in Europe, and it is natural that they give each other the hsnd. The United States know that if the AI lies-triumph in the contest, they will oarry evsry where their vlctotieus flag, to cover with it the territo ties three'ened by unmeasured ambition. England and Trance will then come to America to tell tbe republic of Washington what ie the will of the nations with nspect to the security and independence of each, and tbe co lossus will have to halt in its caroer, and t? adjust its lutnre pol'ey to the code ol justice and of morality adopted by human societies. Therefore, we, although there were no other reason, would be, in the question of the East, on the side of the Allied Powers through reason of convenience. It suits us that Spain do not lose the island of Cuba, for th.s motive, among others: that if she lose It, it has to fall Into the hands of the United States; and from the moment that the United States get Cuba, tbe independence of Spanish America may be re. garded as concluded The triumph of the Allies in Eu rope would ward olf tbat evil. Therefore, we say tnat tbe question of Cuba has not only an analogy with the question cf the East, but depends upon It. * * Spanish America, in the question of Cnba, is called npon to defend the same principles of morality, of jus tice, and of international law, as Europe is in the East ern war. It ie true that each of theae countries, taking part in that immense crusade, will defend its security and its Independence; hut in this there is ne egotism of any kind, but a noble and legitimate sentiment of conservatism. And therefore the mission of these poo 81* cannot be more gioriuos, when it ie considered that be government de'ecds. with tbair independence and the r nationality, a religion whieb lias civilized these re gions? a history illustrated by so many great trsnts? an entire continent Impressed with the Unset eonquss's of the Catholic civilization?a race, in fine, which hae for three centuries executed the mission of dissipating tne darkness of barbarity, and has gathered naJer its banners tbe soldier ?' the cross and the Oatholic missionary. * ? The first consequence of these rights and duties is, that the Spanish American countries ought to ask the United States, every time that they take a step towards the equator, the reason of their conduct; that they ought to intervene in every way in the negotiation* which may be established en the future destiny of Cub-; that they ought to hove cognizance of every measms tbat is adopted to ebange the present coalitions of the island, not only in referenee to a trau-Utiou of do minion to another Power, but also having for obiect an emancipation, which is impossible, and which would he the germ of like dsngers for us And after all this, when ambition reaches the point of employing force and violence to attain its ends the r.ght and the duty of Spanish America la to rush to the Mete with armed hsnd to defend their Independence and their liberty. * * * Though there are not here, as in Europe, two great Powers to rush to tbe froit of a oov lit'oo, to fight the common enemy, we may safely say tbat it ie Mexico whose duty it Is to unfurl before any other country ef the New Worll! the banner under wh-ch our nationalities and our race have to be defended. She must stead in the van, because she is tbe first nation with which the ooloeans has to eome In conflict In its advenes towards the eauelor, and because we may say, without vanity, that she is first in point of extent in the number of her inhabitants, and in tbe condition of civilization and cul ture to which she has arrived Oar eoantry will aw the right sad fulfil the duty which these circumstances concede to end Impose neon ft, end will do en that he leey* to e people where Is etin preserved the spirit of noble pride end of Independence inherited from the two hemic reeee from which It sprung; it will do so with tha snergy and 1b* abnesatim of those who defend, et every hazard, a history and tradition- which form its pride, end e mlig on with which ere bound np all its record* ef g'ory and which In the foundation of its fluent hope.

A Catholic Priest Claiming fits Wife. CUKIOUS CHAPTER Q4 MAERIBD LIP*. [From the Cbioago rriaime, Jane 13.] The case of the people ex relatione NicholasStamber vs. Anthony Schnie<ler, which cams before Mm court of Com mon P!e?a of Cook county, Hon. John IL Wilson, presid ing, en Saturday, presents a carious picture of married lire, ard revea'e tome strange practice! on the part of the Catholic clergy, and some squally strange matters of faith on the part of the more ignorant portion of their flocks. It sppeazs that, abent a year ago, Nicholas Stamber, then a priest of the Catholic eburch, was united in mar riage with Anna Maria "chnlecer, a German girl, the daughter of the defendant, and a good Catholic The acarriage ceremony wsa per'ormed by Father Peter Kramer, in a pi irate room, without the use of the wed ding ring, and without witnesses. In all other respects the marriage ceremony was performed acoordlag to the rites of the Catholic church, the parties agreeing and consenting thereto, promising to ho man and wifo to each other, and the prion giving them the nuptial benediction and pronouncing them man and wife. Alter the ceremony, Father Nicholas look the girl home and kept her as an upper servant or housekeeper, treat log her kindly and paying her wages regularly. The girl asye herself that, although he always spoke of her as nil wife, they occupied separate apartments. Home thiee months since she left his house, and went to Niles, Michigan, where aha entered a family in the capacity of a servant. Her own account is, that both her marriage to and desertion from, her hushed were in accordance with the advice of her oarents and friends. To nse bsr own language, " she was talked into it " Up to the time of his wife*a leaving him. Father Ni cholas had continued bis public ministration in tho church, but sinoo then we understand he has been de posed from the priesthood, as has also Father Peter Kramer. This suit was brought in the ehanoery side of the Conrt of Common fleas, by the husband, to recover pos session of bis wife, whom be alleged was illegally de tained from hire by Anthony Schneider The writ Issneu commending Schneider to produce the body of Anna Mary before the conrt. It was served on Schneider on the 8th of June, by T. 8. Buckley, deputy sheriff. On going into the country to serve the writ, he found Anna Mary at the bouse of one Judson, about fonr miles from her father's residence, and took her with him. On Saturday, the defendant appeared before the Hon. John M. Wilson, in the Court of Common Pleas, and, in obedience to the writ, produced the body of hie dsugh trr. lbs husband was also present. For the purpose ef ascertaining the true state of the ease, and ef findiog ont what her wishes were In regard to living with her husband, the Court ordered the room to be cleared of all persons except the officers of the court? an interpreter, and reporters for the press, and proceeded to question the girl. We are not, of coarse, at liberty to disclose all that *aa then elicited but it appeared in addition to the above facta that she did not consider the marriage legal or binding, because her husband was a priest; that she left her husbscd of her own aeeord; and that she wished now to go with her parents and stay with tham, and not to go with her husband; that the reason that she wished to leave her husband was that she had been educated in the belief that she eould never go to heaven if she hvtd in marriage with a prieet; but that no threats whatever had been made te her by her parents, by the priests, or by tbe bishop. She gave her name as Anna Mary Scbnie der, and not as Anna Mary Stamber Judge Wilson informed the young lady that the mar riage was a perfectly valid and legal one by the laws of this State, although It might be a matter of discipline in their own cbnrcn; tbat she could not marry any other man while her bus baud was living, but that sne was not compelled to live with him, and asked whom she would go with?her husband or her father? She answered promptly, with her father. The doors were then reopened, and her husband and parents, the attorneys on both sides, and the other members, of the bar re entered. The hnnband was in formed that the body of his wife had bean produced, and tbat sbe wan here in court: that the marriage, by the laws of Illinois, was perfectly legal and valid, but that he was not to use any foroc in compelling her to go with him The bnsbandnow walked'across the room to where tho lady stood and Intimated to h?rr his desire that she should go horns with him Bat She resolutely refased, nor could afi bis persuasions induce her to waver In her de termination. She left the eourt with her parents, and the last we saw of the diseonsolate spouse he wss follow ing in the wake of his wife, pouring forth his en treaties, to which she turned a deaf ear. Pwitbuctiyk Stork in Ebntuokf?Giaat Da macs to Corn and Whxat Cuora.?On Monday afternoon, about half past four o'clock, n small section of Shelby, bordering on Franklin county, was vLited by the moat violent storm of wind, rain and hail cvtt experienced in that region. In the vicinity of Christtanaburg, Bagdad and Consolation, it raged with unprecedented violence. On tho farms of some ten gentlemen tho wheat was so completely pros trated as to make It mult for harvesting; and the corn was damaged to almost an equal extent. Largo fruit trees wars blown down, nod fences carried off by tho sndden rising of streams of water that wen never be fore known to run so full The storm came up sudden ly and passed off la a very short period. In the railroad cnt near Bagdad the water ran In a stream so deep that it reached above tho trucks of tho can earning at full speed despite the fnry of tho elements. Oapt. Taliafer ro and other gentlemen in the ears state that it had been raising hut three or four minutes, yet so violently that goIllss and beds ef streasqs perfectly dry before the i term, were roaring ont with water throe and four feet deep. The hail also drifted in some places five end six fret high. We hoard yesterday 1100,000 died as the probable extent of tho pecuniary damage caused by tbe atom. This we esteem a low igwre, judging by the closest unparalleled marks of doraaia tion that wo visited yesterday, in passing by eu the oars. Over three hundred acres of wheat won entirely raised, and almost as mnch eons. Mr. Basket and Mr. ley lor won heavy ruffe ren. The storm was a very erraftcone. It panned no particular Una or source, Ce ng rig ug in its progress.

The above tre tbe fundamental principles of tho righto and obligations of all who reside to or visit this empire, sad I have been induced to forward them to yoa, as it appears, to my opinion, and that of maay others, that often arbitrary power is exercised under the garb of office. I allude at this time to the affairs of tho schooner Bay CSty, deatincd for the river Sacramento, there to bo made Into a steamer, whioh arrived at this port oa tho 1st of September lost, consigned to one of tho heat com mercial houses ia this city. Been after her arrival, a report wts ia circulation that an English cruiser off the coast had fired into her while our flag was lying, and that our acting consul, Mr. Scott, tho son of Mr. Fcott, our consul, who was on a visit to the States, with tbe captain of said schooner, were entering a protest and a demand for satisfaction of John Bull But the mate refused to sign the protest, and state 1 that the American flag was not flying, and that the captain would not show bis colors until the balls began to fly. This mate (Mr. McCUin) was charged with insolence and in subordination, and thrust?by order of our acting con sul?Into prison, where he lay for days, and from which he was removed to the hospital by the Interference of tbe Chief of Police. After this MeClain insisted that the Consul had no right to discharge him, and he to sisred on his right to take charge of the schooner, and wf r.t-on board and took charge?m the captain had gone to the States Several attempts were made by Mr. Con sul Scott to eject MeClain, through the police, who went oa board erased, and drew a pistol on the mate and told him he was a prisoner, at which MeClain drew a revolver sad assured the police (some eight to number) that he coold meet them to that line, and the police returned to the shore without the prisoner, or blood being drawn ea either side. But on tbe 26th twenty odd police passed my door with loaded muskets towards the wharf, with determined vengeance depleted ea their counte nances, indicating that MeClain must bs taken, dead or alive, and were joined by tM eap teto of the port and sons thirty more, who boarded tho steamer,and MeClain delivered himself up, and now is in prison again, whether for roeistiag tho po lice power or insistlsg on his right 1 do not know. 1 do not pretend to say which is right, hut it looks qutto ar bitrary on tnc part of our consul. On this unfortunate Bay Ctiy there ia a fine appearing young man. named Charles, who shipped on that vessel with ths intention of roaohtog California and paying his way by work, who has by tbo misfortune of the ves sel been over eighteen months on his trip, and is very desirous to get to California, the place where be can do so math lug, and give vent to his exertions and led an try. He had a fine opportunity to ooutinoe his trip a fe m days ?toco on the United Uteles surveying schoooer Humboldt, but was refused a discbarge from tM Bay City, aud eur consul told him to sit down and make up his mind If be would remain Alter a time had expired his answer was that be would go. The consul then ordered him to prison, whets he was eon fined until the Humboldt had soiled. Tbe only crime against him is that theoouaul wishes h'.m to remain to have his testimony, ho. Why could not his testimony he taken unci sealed, and he be permitted to proceed on his trip I, as aa American citiscn, regret to see such arbitrary power from our government agents. A* to the right of our consul to stop this young man, I do not know: but when the police are encouraged, and so often called into requisition by our consul, on such petty occasions, every foreign resident will sooner or later feel It. I have not forgotten the days of Henry A. Wiae, who evea got into difficulty with Mils government, and requested to M sailed home, all of which was caused by his protesting against arbitrary polios seta on our eiUaena to this en. purs. Of these affairs there are many reports, but the above, sb near aa 1 can learn, are ths impartial facts. There is ) sport that MeClain drew his pistol first on ths police, but I can't say which is right, or who is wrong. F. H. a OCR MONTEVIDEO CORRESPONDENCE.
