I Tbo North American Telegraph Asso- ; elation, cpmposed of .the leading companies now owning and wojrking the main lines from N. F, to N. O., and from Quebec to the western border of Missouri, j closed a three days* session hero last Saturday. Thej Association was organized by the appointment of Peter Cooper, of [tins city. President, Cbas. A. Mann, of Utica, Vice President and A. A.Levelt, j Secretary. A targe delegation from the several companies attended, and the practical, business-like manner in which the matters for advisement were disposed of gives .promise that'tha’hniineis of telegraphing his, at least, fallen into hands competent to systemize and make it, as it should be, a means of reliable and rapid communication throughout the country. Among (bo tnany important subjects of consideration which occupied the deliberations of the Association was the easly construction of a jeliablo line to California; a committee was appointed to adopt prompt and efficient measures for the progression of the important work.' The aggregate capital of the com panics composing the Association is between $5,000,000 and $0,000,000, operating between 30,000 and 40,000 mitea. of wire. Arrangements, we learn, are m progress to consolidate the House printing line between New York and Washington with the line ofthe'American Telegraph Company, thus placing the latter Company in Immediate communication with Philadelphia, Baltimore, , Washington, and removing the last obstacle in the way of a speedy extension of the printing tejegraph lines along the seaboard to New Orleans.

After the liquor had all been disposed of, they returned to the ball to resume business, many of them so “dead drunk" they could not sit upright on the seats, anon, a difficulty «<m between the Speaker', and a gentleman, which commenced by a vigorons application of a canc to tbo back of the Speaker, and was continued for some time, during which all the members who wsro ablo joined in the fight.

An express, however; says the loss was not so great, that only a portion of the artillery and munitions were captured, and that tho Liberal party retreated in good order. An official paper states that Vi daurri has already sent orders to the commander of Tampico for another pack of artillery, where there ia plenty to bo bad, which will soon be in the field, together with the many forces concentrating about Yidaurri, to reneiv the attack. Colonel Guadalupe Garcia wa*?to leave Tampico on the 2d-instant for the inteW, with three hundred infantry and three, pieces of artillery.

The decided and rapid improvement which has been made in adapting steam to the propelling of canal boats induces the Cincinnati Gazette to prophesy as follows: The day is not far distant when these hew propellers will pats from Cincinnati to Now York; lor it is not to be supposed that the inventive genius of our people will fail to adapt the‘boats to the waters ■of Lake Erie; and when this shall be accomplished,, the attention of the people of Ohio will be directed to the enlargement of the .Miami and Erie Canal.
