 The ship Alhamhra, Capt Wilson, and the steamship Alabama, Capt. Wright, ar- rived yesterday from Vera Cruz. The for mer sailed ou the lst inst, direct, while the Alabama left on the 3lst ult. and touched at Tampico, and the BTazos.

 Gen. Scott ordered 10000 rations to be issued to the suffering poor of Vera Cruz. and it was affecting to see the crowd of half ia mishep creatures as they gathered timid> ly arOond to receive their respective shares Those rations will, as Msxicans usually eat, last 5000 people days, hut it is possi- bls that not more lhaA 1000 people will partake of the provisions. The city and castle were exhausted ofprovisionS.

 VERA CRUZ, March Both. Forraal possession was taken yesterday of the heroic city of Vera Crnz, by Gen. Worth, different portions of his division occupying the national palace, the castle of San Juan de Ulloa and the forts of San!ia> go and Conception, as well as the batteries and works of all kinds.

 l, is impossible to get at the loss of the Mexicans by the bombardment, but il is certain that women, children and non com> battahts have suffered the most.

 Some say that l50 have been killed, some more and some less as regards the de- s,ruction of property, that shows for itself. Hardly building south of the Plaza Grande, bu, is either burnt or torn in pieces or much injured, and the streets filled with rubbish and fragments.
