Memoranda.

Portobello Union Pacific Atlantic Plan Isthmus Panama 1852.

The health of the Isthmus is good, and the railroad was progressing with great rapidity; everything was quiet at Acapulco.

Among the passengers is Liet. W. Michler, U. S. A., and party who are about to engage on the boundary survey between the United States and Mexico under the Gadsden Treaty. Also, E. P. Christy and his celebrated band of Minstrels, are passengers by the Golden Age.

The following is the Herald telegraphic dispatch from Washington. We are very much inclined to doubt the account in regard to Mr. Marcys dispatch to the French government, as it does not agree with his previous acts in the matter.

Washington, Sep. 19, 1854

Lord Clarendons dispatch about the Greytown bombardment has been communicated to Mr. Marcy by Mr. Crampon. It is very mild, and will scarcely call for any sharp rejoinder. England appears to have her hands so full in the East that she is more than usually polite to us.

Mr. Marcy has sent a long dispatch to the French government about Dillon, the French Consul at San Francisco. It is very severe on the Consuls conduct, and fully sustains the action of the American government.

Important dispatches have been received from China, rejecting the unsettled condition of affairs there and the danger of injury to American commerce from the lawlessness of all parties. Mr. McLane will probably be instructed to remain perfectly neutral, and recognize any de factogovernment that he may find.

It is the opinion of the diplomatic corps generally, here, that further difficulties with Spain are to be apprehended. General Pierce is quite nervous on the subject.

The late elections in Maine have greatly alarmed the President. So anxious was the Administration to insure an endorsement from that State, that ex-governor Anderson, Commissioner of Customs, was sent on there to regulate the matter. His success has scarcely warranted the trouble and expense.

A fire broke out on the night of the 19th, about 9 oclock, in the cabinet shop of F. A. Vrede & Co., No. 598 Broadway, just above the Metropolitan Hotel. The fire was first discovered in the fourth floor. The fourth and third floors were destroyed. The first floor is occupied by Jno L. Western, looking glass manufacturer. His damage will be mostly by water and breakage. The loss altogether will probably amount to upwards of $50,000, independent of the building.
