      detained hini with Salas prisoners in the palace , the Ministers of War and tho Home Dci > aviment oeing released on giving security , and Keion and Baranda niakiug their escape . Gen . Herrem t . ' ien j ssued the following important proclamation : — "Jo . * e Joaquindc llerrera , President of tlie Council of 'Jovfniment to the Inhabitants of the . Capital . Mexicans —A blind and audacious government had violated the laws , believing that society was wholly dependent upon its decrees . But I , having been invoked bv all classes and by ihe principal commanders and chiefs of the garrison , have re-established

      constitutional oi'der , and am , proud of having spared to Mexico and her vast population the anarchy and dissensions arising out of merely isolated efforts . I , therefore invite every patriot to _ Tally , around the legitimate government which Irepfesent ; through : the constitution ; and the national Congress , "Which "Ms assembled within a few hours , will accomplish everything which the safety of the country requires "iftSni it . Thus will this momentous event ueren 8 erea worthy of national pride—a hope whichis ^ sineei-ely shared byyourlellow-citizen , Jose T . De IIerrera . — Mexico / December 6 tk 1844 . " . -,,

      On the 7 th of . December , the day following this proclamation , a new government was organized . Gener ral Herrera , was constituted Provisional President of the Republic . Bis Cabinet is composed as follows : Don Pedro Echeverria , Minister of Internal Affaire ; Don Lnis G . Cuevas , Mbiister of Foreign Affiiirs ; Don Cariano Rivapalacio . Minister of Justice and Public Instruction ; Gen . Pedro Garcia Conde , Minister of War vM Marine . The i % u ( Mma Bee says that the new ministry Is composed of the ablest and most honest men in the Republic . Around it are arrayed all the power , wealth , and influence of the nation . Echeverria is : ; a- member ' " ofrfhe ^ firni -of "Widow ,. Echftverria and-Sons ,-rwell Jawwainihe commemaliworld for its respectability and influence .

Tlie demonstrations of the mob werei still more energetic and emphatio / Portraits or Santa Anna in ; the public places were torn down and draggeAthrough the streets , - and torn into fragments , andevery one preserved a piece as a

      memento ot then- oppressors downfalir 4 u'he statue of Santa . Anna in theplaza , was tumbled down , b roken in pieces , and'the head borae in triumph through the city . ^ It is also . stated that -the crowd , " intoxicated with joy and frantic with revenge ; afterwards pn £ eeeded to the monument where the-embalmed- leg of their Dictator had been buried . witb . so much pomp a year or two since , brake' it into atoms , and tiien lucked and dragged the embalmed limb through the plazas and principal thoroughfares of the city . Thus was achieved without bloodshed , in the capital city , the overthrow of Santa Anna . But the movement was by no means confined to the capital . Indeed not a single department has been heard from , which holds out for the Dictator . In "Vera Cruz , always considered his stronghold , the movement was ueeun a

      fexr miles from the city by Col . Senobio , who , with a few hundred followers , declared in favour of Congress . Soon after , Don Benito Quijano , Governor of Vera Cruz , pronounced against Santa Anna , and in favour of the Congress , and immediately all was excitement and rejoicing . ^ The populace first tore the portrait of the Dictator into tatters and then burned it in the public square , after which they proceeded in crowds toward the houses of several citizens who were obnoxious from their Icnown friendship for Santa Anna thirsting for vengewice , and threatening to take their lives . Owing to the efforts of the Commandaiite General their lives were spared , he promising the populace that all those who had made themselves inimical to the best interests of the people should be banished the city . On the followine dav

      order was completely restored , the citizens in the meantime forming themselves into military bodies to resist any attempt that might be made by Santa ¦* nna , and his inends . ' ¦ - '• Ohthe evening of the 12 th of December , the tragedy of Brutus , or Borne made Free , was performed at the theatre in honour of the revolutionists . At Puebla the rising was unamimous . The statue of Santa Anna was tumbled from its pedestal , and his portrait torn into shreds . At Jalapa a few persons were killed , and this is the only bloodshed during the entire revolution , so far as yet appears . Santa Anna himself was at Queretao , where he had about 2 , 500 men ; and even upon these it is most likely he can place but little reliance . His

      ehauee of escape seems but small . It is said that Congress lias outlawed him unless he surrenders at once . It is further stated that the new Government offers him no terms short of his paying up the twelve millions of dollars of the public money he is charged with having uselessly squandered or appropriated to liis own private purposes . This condition it can scarcely be possible to execute , and in default of complying with it , he Is threatened with death . Should he sueeeed iu escaping from the country , it is rumoured that he will proceed to Cuba , vrheve , with his princely revenues , he can still live in Ids accustomed splendour . His private fortune is estimated at some four millions of dollars .

Great Pcblic Mtetixc of the Silk Weavers at . Macc £ esfiem > , ix favour of Protectiox . —A public meeting oi the Silk Weavers of this town was held on Monday last , at three o ' clock in the afternoon . The meeting , which was convened by . the "Rights of Industry" Society was announced to take place at twelve o'clock , on the Park-given ; but the dreadful state of the weather made it necessary to adjourn to ? . large factory , whidi wss also found to be inconvenient for the purpose , and the meeting Avas ultimately held in the large open space on the Sand-brow , the speakers addressing ihe nieetiKg through ( lie factory windows . Mr . Sinister was called to the chair : and

      Mr . Iiunswoith , the secretary , detailed the result o ! interviews with the borough ami county members , who were all favourable to any plan that might bu deemed practical , to afford protection to the working classes . After detailing the plan the society had mi view , lhat of Icesl Boaiils of Trade , ly which price * might be amicably arranged between master ant ' , man , as well as all other disputes , he said Mr . Brocklehurst had told him that the tune was come when the Weavers must declare whether they were willing to part with their protection , and as a consequence with their trade , lor the free importation of corn . He would leave that question with them . — Mr . John West then moved the first resolution" That this meeting is of opinion , that unless steps be taken to circulate more effectually the "vast mass of wealth which our country at present contains , tiiat that wealth , so far from proving a benefit , will prove a decided injury , and hasten our downfall as a nation :

'' Mr . McCarthy seconded it , and it was carried unanimously . —Mr . West then moved the following resolution ,, observing if any Free Traders had aiiy ' objections to make , now , \ vas the time ,, or / for everlet them hold their peace :- ~' , That tms ^ ieeting is of opinion that one great cause of the present

      depressed condition ot the Sillc Trade , and the consquent reductions of wages of the operatives employed therein , is the reduction of the protective duties ; and it is our decided conviction that no alteration in the corn and provision laws could enable us successfully to meet French competition , owing to the great advantages possessed by that nation in their home production of the raw material , and various other natural advantages . " A Mr . Edwards said it was unfair to bring forward that resolution , as the weather was so unfavourable , that tke people could not stand to have it fully discussed . The ^ meeting universall y responded that they would wait till morning , if Mr . Edwards would discuss the question with Mr . West . Mr . Edwards

      said "not that night . " Mr . West then stated that he was open to discuss the question with Mr . . Edwards or any other person , at any time tiiat might be agreed upon . The motion was then put , and carried unanimously . After a vote of thanks to the chairman , and three tremendous cheers for protection to British industry , this great meeting separated . This was the greatest blow ever the Leagtie . received in Macclesfield , and nothingbut the fixed detenhiiiation of the men to give the lie to the different League spouters , who are continually asserting that the Silk Weavers "' are filing to give np their prbtcetioii , could have induced thum to stand in the snow ; which was falling during the whole of the speeches . This meeting was a " great fact . " Let the League note it well .

      TERRIFIC STORMS . The Stobm at DcMruiEs . —In recording the heavy gales of Thursday last we had no idea , that the elements would deepen into still wilder tempest on the night of Saturday , and even Sunday , long after the hour of noon . The wind on the last occasion blew from the north , and its fury by nautical men was considered Ihe more remarkable , seeing we very rarely experience gales of equal intensity from that quarter . By common consent the hurricane is set down as the most threatening remembered since the truly . awful one of the 7 th January , 1830 . In many houses the inmates felt the beds shaking under them , and when daylight dawned it became obvious that devastation had been widely at work in the shape of smashing chimney cans , tiding the roofs of houses , more particularly old tenements , < fce . One corner of St . Michael ' s Church has been a good deal damaged , both as regards the load and slates : and in the case of the latter , a heavy fragment descended with such

      force that it cleft an upright tombstone into two parts . In the country the woods have again suffered , and even in our own vicinity not a fe \ y trees have been broken or blown down , including a venerable saugh at Tinwald Downs , containing eighty cubical feet of timber . On the coast the turmoil was literally deafening , the sea-birds , startled from their holes among the rocks , uttering wailing cries in every direction . This morning the scene changed entirely ; when few : expected such a A'isitation , the ground was found covered with snow , and trees and bushes beautifully frizzled beyond expression ; but as the barometer is still falling it seems the reverse of probalilc that this new variety of livery of the winter will be of lengthened continuance . On inquiry we learn that two of our coasters are missing , and one of them , a regular trader , had not been heard of for a fortnight .. ' Ihe owner , in fact , is beginning to lose hope of the safety of his vessel . —l / wmfries Courier of Mondav .

      The \ Veatheh ix Cimuerlasd . —During tne whole of Friday last the state of the atmosphere in the neighbourhood of Keswick , says our correspondent , gave indications of an approaching stcrui : the wind continued howling and roaring through the valley , and at night the rain descended in torrents , which seemed to increase as daylight approached . The tempest , which continued during the whole of Saturday , became extremely violent about four o ' clock in the afternoon , when it raged with awful fury , forcibly reminding the inhabitants of the ever-memorable storm on the morning of the 7 th of . lanuary , 1839 , and continued increasing in violence till about five

      o'clock on Sunday morning , when it may be said to have reached its climax . At that period the tempest became most destructive : a great number of large trees , on the estate oi" Sir John Wooutord , at Derwentwater Bay , were levelled to the earth . Two very large spruce fir-trees fell upon the cottage of Alexander Macreatly , Sir John ' s wood-ranger ; but as they both fell against the gable end of the cottage , the damage occasioned was but trifling . A number of stacks were also capsized , and heavy showers of hail occasionall y fell during the whole of Sunday . It is worthy of remark that iliis destructive tempest came in the same direction as the great Btorro of 1 S 39 . Yesterday both the mountains and low grounds in the neighbourhood of Keswick were covered with snow . —Cunti ., land Pacquet .

      The Storm . — Dis . vst < .. .: » s Accident at Derby . — On Saturday night last this town was visited by a very severe gale of wind , which did considerable injury to various buildings , ami was the occasion of a most disastrous occurrence in Bourne-street , by which five houses were almost totally destroyed , and another very greatly damaged . Our townsmen , the Messrs . Holmes , coachmakers , had just completed the erection of a large and lofty chimney on their premises , for the pfirpose of having steam applied to a part of their extensive establishment , the building of which had been entrusted to Mr . Edwin Thompson . This chimney was sixty feet high , and was only waiting for the iron capping . It was surrounded by a very

      heavy j and substantial scaffolding ^ . & . circumstance much'there is every reason to believe to ' a considerable extent contributed to produce tlieaccident . wluch we have to record .

Fortunate , jndeed , was it that the residents did . quittheni , ior at a quarter-past eight o ' clock , forty feet of ^ the ( sixty of the chimney ; fell with a terrific crash on one side of the roofs of the five houses , literally ' , cutting them in two , anddemolisJiing them to the ^ yery foundations , and destroying " every piece of fm-mfee ftey contained ; breaking the chairs , tables , beds , " chests of ( drawers , &c ,. into fragmeats as though ; theyhad beeii so many mere twigs ;' : Never was wreck CnVore ! complete . It was most providential that the accident did not occW

      aunngtneniglitwhen tneinmates were'in bed ; for had such been the case , the- lossyoflife ' would have been frightful . As it was , no <} ne experienced the slightest personal injury , except a workman ' of Mr . E . Thompson's , who was but a jninute : before the accident endeavouring to remove-one of the guide ropes to a more favourable position , for keeping the scaffolding from blowing against ithe chimney , lie received some slight injuries froin the falling bvicks . Immediately on this unfortunate occurrence becoming known , the utmost eagerness was evinced by the neighbours to assist in the ; remoyal of tlie immense pile of rubbish , and to scrape together such'things as might possibly become again in any degree , useful to

      the persons deprived at . one stroke of their , dwellings . Messrs . Ilohnes kindly undertook to have the fumituve replaced , and procured food aiid lodgingsfor such of the families thus thrown out of . their , habitat tions , who had not friends to / receive them , h Our Chesterfield correspondent says : — " During the high wind on Sunday morning three or four pinnacles were blbwn from the tower of St .

      Storm at me Cape op Good Hops , —A very severe hail-storm has visited the Cape , doing much damage to the village of Coksburgh . The following description of its effects , taken from a letter published in the Graham ' s Town Journal of the 5 th of December , will give some idea of such an event at the Cape ot Good Hope : — "This villages was visited yesterday ( Nov . 24 ) _ with one ofthe most violent hail-stonns , accompanied with a gale of wind , ever yet witnessed . Some idea can be formed of its violence when I say that branches were lopped from the trees and carried to a distance of at least 200 yards . Such a scene of havoc has seldom been witnessed . The approach of the storm was notified by a low murmuring sound , and those who were able closed the outside shutters

      to their windows ; but the windows of the majority of the houses , which are unprovided with shutters , weie literally smashed . In many places sashes were broken , tlie plastering knocked off in large pieces , and the town presents tlie appearance of having been bombarded by an enemy ' s cannon . The number of panes of glass broken exceeds 3 , 000 . In the Dutch church 380 panes are destroyed , and hardly a house stands that has not lost from 20 to 30 . Not a vestige of a garden remains , and the streetB are completely covered with green fruits and branches of trees . I never witnessed « uch destruction by tlie clement . 1 do not exaggerate when I tell you that many of the hailstones were as large , and in some instances larger than a pigeon ' s egg . Last Sunday the thunder and lightning were awful . The electric fluid lias three

      times struck the Kopjes in the vicinity of the village , but no damage has been done , except that one unfortunate ox was killed . Not so , however , in the neighbourhood , where I learn that several farmhouses have been consumed , the lightning setting them on fire ; and the hail has destroyed large fields of standing com so completely that not a vestige of them remains . On some places from . 50 to 60 sheep have been killed . I am , however , happy to say that the hail-storm which passed over us seemed to be confined in its transit , not spreading over a large space . " Another letter published in th « same paper says— " It is no exaggeration to state that each hailstone was the size of a pullet ' s egg , and so tremendous was the force with which they came down , that von

      will scarcely believe the iact that every pane of glass on the western aide ofthe village is broken , amounting to several thousands in number . Not a single house escaped , ami the town presented a most grotesque appearance after it was over , resembling a place that had been severely bombarded . How , in such sultry weather , these congelations , so large and hard , cn » be formed , is more than I can well explain . It is clear their formation must arise from some other cause than cold—most probably from a highly electric state of ihe atmosphere . This I think probable , as there had been the evening before some very severe lightning and heavy thunder-storms , so severe , indeed , that an ox was struck and destroyed by the electric fluid witliin a short distance of the town * .

A watchman found us in the street , and took us back to Kitty White's ; after we had got there , Heaton

It took four men to hold him in bed on Friday . 1 asked Heaton to get some one to assist me ; he said he would give Mrs .

Kitty White examined : —She said the man ( Nuttal ) had a little disorder in his throat when he came to her house . The child took

      ill and died of small-pox the following week . They were in great distress ' and very poor ; had nothing to pay for lodgings with : she had kept them from sympathy . She then corroborated the evidence previously given as to the relief , the raving of Nuttal , nis desire to go to Manchester to his father , and said that when the man left her house , slio immediately went to inform the chief constable , who sent her to the overseer , who told her that the new Poor Law had taken the power entirely out of his hands , and directed her to go to Heaton , tlie relieving officer . She went , but could not find him . She had done all she could , but the authorities would not assist her . She went to lay her case before the magistrate , but Heaton went up

      before her and said something , and the magistrate refused to hear- her at all . —Thomas Heaton examined : I am the relieving officer for Huddcrsfield . On Wednesday week Mrs . Nuttal applied to me and said her child was-ill ofthe small pox . She wanted some relief . I asked her if slic had a husband ; she answered ye 3 , he was hawking a few nuts and oranges . I said it was strange they should want relief when he was following his trade . She said they wove not solely without money , but she wanted a doctor to attend her child . I said the town ' s doctor would not attend , as they were not paupers . On Thursday Nuttal and his wife came to me and said their child was dead , and they had no means of burying it . I gave them a note for a coffin and the dues . They

      went away quite satisfied . The same night I called at the Cherry Tree Inn ; the woman was then shewing the burial certificate . Tlie landlord said she had been applying to him for relief to bury the child with . 1 asked her if she was not tho same woman Iliad given the order for a coffin to ; she denied it . I asked her if her husband was not outside the' door ; she said yes , I went out and brought him in , and he said they were the same , but they had no money , and were compelled to beg to get something to eat . I made inquiry , and found they had bewi at several shops in New-street . I mentioned ilm case to the Board of Guardians on Tuesday , who said they both deserved taking before the' magistrates . On Saturday she applied at my house , but only saw my wife .

      On Monday she saw me , and said her husband was very ill ; this was at the relieving office . I told her that I must come and see her , for she had imposed on me before . I said , as soon as I have done paying I will come and sec him . About half-past two I went to my dinner , from there I went to Birkby , to visit some paupers , and about three-o ' clock 1 called at Kitty White ' s ; saw there was no imposition , and relieved Nuttal and his wife with two shillings ; 1 called the mistress of the house down stairs , aiidtokl her ehe must take pare of him and I would get her anything she wanted .

I asked thorn what they wanted . They said they had been badly treated by me , and had nothing , and wanted to stato their grievances . I told the Magistrates that the woman had been begging , and they would not hear her . Considerable conversation ' ensued as to ( he

      propriety of having such cases sent to the vagrantoffice , which is kept by a master and matron , paid from the poor-rates , and wa 3 instituted as a place of refuge for tho destitute ; and particularly to prevent contagion . Heaton said it was unlikely that such cases should go there , while certain members of the jury were decidedly of opinion that this was the proper and appointed place , and that . it . was the duty of ileaton to have them taken there' nt once when found to be ill -: " that if this had been done , there would have -been no necessity for their begging . The investigation commenced at a quarter past one at noon , and was not finished until half-past seven in the evening ,-when the following verdict was recorded— " Died from natural ' causes , but the jury are of opinion that'death- was accelerated from want of proper sustenance and attention , "
