Mexico.—In conéequence of a disagreement between the representatives of Eogland, France and Spain, in Mexico, the alliance ie broken up. It appears that Eng. land has withdrawn from the intervention, while Franee bas virtually declared war, and hostilities have commenced. It was supposed that Spain had also withdrawn. but the Intest advices from Vera Cruz state that the Mexicans will dispute the march of the French and Spanish troops, from which it would seem that the latter bad not withdrawo. The French commenced bostilities by taking possession of Orizaba, and Cordova bad declared for Almonte, a renegade Mexican, and at present a protege of the French, There is little doubt that France aime at the conquest of that country,and the Mexicans are preparing to fight to the last for their national independence. Howicipe.— On Wednesday evening last, an altercation took place between S. E. Morton, an employee of the Mint, and one ‘Chas. L. Brittain, which resulted in the death of the former. They gotin a quarre) on the national troubles, which finally assumed such a degree of violence that Morton struck Britain, upon which the latter drew bis pistol and shot Morton, The ball took effect in bis abdomen, just below the naval, from the effeets of which he died in afew hours. Before bis death Morton ad mitted having struck Britain, and said he was a “fool to get mad at the remarks of a fool,’”’ or words to thateffeet. Britain was atrested and taken to the station bouse. Morton leaves a wife and twe childreu in San Francizco. Later From rae East.—Dispatehes from the seat of war were received by the As sociated Press yesterday; but the wires were working #0 badly that it was impossible to telegraph the news to Nevada, It was sent to Marysville, however, and possibly may be up before this number goes to press. The only item of interest that we could learn, was that the iron-clad stesmer Monitor and Galena had started up James river to attack the Merrimac, and ‘*heavy firing” was beard at Fortress MonToe, from which it was eupposed that another naval battle had commenced. ——— Looxrxa Atteap.—Letters from Havana state that Jeff Davis bas lately bad a large amount of money deposited in the banks of ‘that city, If this is true, it would seem’ to indicate that the rebel chieftain is looking forward:to an ‘early “emigration move“ment,’” and. is sending on bis “valuables,”’ Goop Apvice To THe Resers.—Not long sitll e Moryovlhe Appeal of tail) .

Cotton’s Letrer.—The late political LATEST NEWS FROM THE EAST. Cotton 1x Uran.—The Deseret News, of the 16th of April, states that the cotton mill at Parowan, owned by Ebenezer Hanks, ae which was so far completed as to be partially t in operation over a month since, is said to doing tolerable good work, with a fair prost that it will bea success, satisfactory to th the proprietor and the public. Only seventy-two spindles have yet been put in operation, but others will be ere long. The establishment is not very extensive, but when put in complete working order may be expected to furnish a market for some consideraple portion of the cotton that was grown in Washington county last year. As the cotton growing business in the southern part of Utah is expected to be greatly increased, other and more extensive mills will of course be erected at no distant time. SurposEp MurpER.—The Placerville News, of the 7th inst., says: “In the afternoon, on Sunday, a young man, at Diamond Springs, told his mother that he was going out to shoot ahare. He took with him a double barrel shot gun, and left home. At night, he failed to return. On search being made for him on Monday, he was found dead, inthe enclosure ofa man by the name of Alfred Ellen, having been shot in the back of the head. Doetoss Ham and MeNatton, on a post mortem examination, took off the top portion of the skull of deceased. Mr. Ellen was arrested on suspicion, and isnow in jail. The name of deceased is diffienlt to pronounce or remember, and we have not been able to ascertain it. SincuLar Deatu.—Mr. Samuel H. Blize, aged twenty-one years, died on Sunday, in Stockton. His death was caused by displacement and “torsion” of the bowels, After his death, a post mortem examination was held upon the body, and it was ascertained that a rtion of the bowels had canght upon a tenae or muscle of the abdomen, and was nipped by it in such a manner that a twist was made, of course rendering all passage impossible, and causing the decease of the sufferer. Mone Correr.—Speaking of some newly discovered copper mines near Campo Seco, the Calaveras Chronicle says: We have been shown several specimens of ore, which are pronounced by competent judges fully equal in richness of the celebrated claims of Copperopolis. Copper mining will be vigoronsly carried on during the Summer in Township No. 4, and from present indications we are convinced thet an immense amount of the raw material will be shipped East the coming Summer and Fall.

Cotton’s Letrer.—The late political LATEST NEWS FROM THE EAST. Cotton 1x Uran.—The Deseret News, of the 16th of April, states that the cotton mill at Parowan, owned by Ebenezer Hanks, ae which was so far completed as to be partially t in operation over a month since, is said to doing tolerable good work, with a fair prost that it will bea success, satisfactory to th the proprietor and the public. Only seventy-two spindles have yet been put in operation, but others will be ere long. The establishment is not very extensive, but when put in complete working order may be expected to furnish a market for some consideraple portion of the cotton that was grown in Washington county last year. As the cotton growing business in the southern part of Utah is expected to be greatly increased, other and more extensive mills will of course be erected at no distant time. SurposEp MurpER.—The Placerville News, of the 7th inst., says: “In the afternoon, on Sunday, a young man, at Diamond Springs, told his mother that he was going out to shoot ahare. He took with him a double barrel shot gun, and left home. At night, he failed to return. On search being made for him on Monday, he was found dead, inthe enclosure ofa man by the name of Alfred Ellen, having been shot in the back of the head. Doetoss Ham and MeNatton, on a post mortem examination, took off the top portion of the skull of deceased. Mr. Ellen was arrested on suspicion, and isnow in jail. The name of deceased is diffienlt to pronounce or remember, and we have not been able to ascertain it. SincuLar Deatu.—Mr. Samuel H. Blize, aged twenty-one years, died on Sunday, in Stockton. His death was caused by displacement and “torsion” of the bowels, After his death, a post mortem examination was held upon the body, and it was ascertained that a rtion of the bowels had canght upon a tenae or muscle of the abdomen, and was nipped by it in such a manner that a twist was made, of course rendering all passage impossible, and causing the decease of the sufferer. Mone Correr.—Speaking of some newly discovered copper mines near Campo Seco, the Calaveras Chronicle says: We have been shown several specimens of ore, which are pronounced by competent judges fully equal in richness of the celebrated claims of Copperopolis. Copper mining will be vigoronsly carried on during the Summer in Township No. 4, and from present indications we are convinced thet an immense amount of the raw material will be shipped East the coming Summer and Fall.
