.IfRXICO. Letters bars 101sived from the city of Mexico, dated on the SOth of Arli e tte'llthich time the public mind was tranquil. The dieltilecial treaty with England hail not been ratified miliMit considerable opposition, although eventually it watt carried by a very great majority. The principal objection to it was, that it did not contain an arras recognition of the independence of the Mexican Republic On dot no of Great Britain. A strong opposi tion was in consequence directed against the article wherein it is stipulated that tie commerce of Great Britain shall in future be admitted on else terms of the Most favoured ass- ' lion, because, it was , " that this article prevented any future treaty with ar ritr i • nations, of which the boon for the recognition of 'elexicsn independence might he coessiserstal preference."- The cool and noble conduct of the 1 44theeess 41Ln, however, proved successful against this piatuilde objection ; for the act itself of the King of Great Brihilet forming relations with the Mexican Government, 'has, in hirestimotion, a perfect recognition on the part of • England of the independence of the Mexican Republic. 'the inejority coincided in the opinion of the Minister, and the stotirmation Of the treaty was the natural consequence.

Such being the state of things, it Is naturally asked by every sensible man—Why should we not proceed? What can there be more convenient than to conclude our public compact with a nation to whom we owe such great obligations, upon such rational conditions ? What can be more proper for our interests than not to grant particular favours, but to treat all nations by one rule, without having any distinctions, always odious, and she most fruitful source of disputes, contention, and jealousy? But sqp posing it had bcen a question of granting particular privileges to ono nation, what other deserves it so much as England ? It is she, in effect, who is among the first of all the European nations who have done us the justice of admitting us among the rank of na tions : the Orators of their Parliament have been the most ardent supporters of 2pr liberty; the threatening tone of the diplomatic not.s of lie: 3rinisters drove from our horizon the black cloud of the Holy Alliance; its capitalists have come forward to supply the wants of our Treasury, to render our mines productive ; and our roods would bare been improved, had not most hurtful prepos iessientalinpeded their designs. But nothing is sought or required except a competition upon an equality with other nations in our markets. And is there any one who could pretend to these favours without their being extended to Great Britain ? If there is any no tion, which s'iail it be? *hall it be Spain who shall be preferred to )England ? Shall it be France, the principal support of our enc. mies, and whose ravel forces now blockade a Colombian port? Shall we again seek those and other nations, degrading ourselves to the point of offering them privileges which we rili l use ens people liberal from the begirining, and who has first embermad our cause? No, far lie sucti humiliation front a free nation ; all things have 4 Lelie, and wa have reached that of suffering. Let us treat as equals with the first nation e the globe, and not wander about offering pri bre indicating an inferiority to other nations. But it may be said, what signifies treating the English as the most favoured na tion? Again, why should it be more favoured than others? and who first imagined such a thing ? This proposition of not having more favoured nations is purely negative, it does rot signify, as it liar been represented, Esq,/eout sheik he the most fit Oig d rm . but it ought to be taken in an opposite sense; via. that Mere shalt nil be asp ernes ceerefavavr:d has Me Raelisi, saving those rereads, esceptions which were established from the beginning, ; and it is so received in the phraseology of all the treaties of commerce of this and the last are. If this is the only obstacle to approving the trsaty, it is despicable in itself, and more so if the doubtful and remote ill effects resulting from the admission of such a clause be compared to the enormous proximate evils that would come noon us in c: se of the top:ure of the treaty on such an account. It requites all the ridiculous presumption of the most stupid igno renege so ask, as has been done by those who, against all reason, Pa" for m::i of common senior ; what doer it concern us, si , uld 'to English Plenipotentiaries depart, and the negotiations be I rulect off? The question is a self•esident absurdity. Our rela hor.i with England would be advantageous with bee in proportion to the extension of her commerce and Industry. England without Mexico will always be the first nation of the world, whilst Mexico, in the present state of things, without England can be nothing; the time may tonne when we shall want for nothing, when we sall, rave milled ourselves perhaps more to the level with the prosperity and power of England ; but that time is not yet arrived, and we 'slimily want the money, the credit, and influence of England.

Although there was but One entrance to the King's Pa lace, its St. James's, on Monday night, for the general, company who had the honour to be invited to the grand ball and supper given by the King, the greatest order and regularity was preserved. Sir Richard Bitnlc, the Chief Magistrate of the Police, was in attendance, Is were Townsend and Sayer, the Kin- cipal Officers appointed to attend the King and the Court, with forty Patrole under their direction. The c)mpany continued arriving from a quarter to tth o'clock, at the entrance at the cat: end of the PalaCti, very quickly, sometimes setting down two or there carriages at a time, with very litae into for about an hour and a half. About ten o'clock, a detachment of the Life Guard% took their station in the Court-yard of the Palace, opposite the great gates , and f orme d i n a lin e fronting Pall-mall, a short distance from the Colonade, where the company eat down. The number of company were quite as many as coubi be conveniently accommodated, although the ball-room is corn i posed of two of the old rooms ; viz. the old pricy chamber and the levee-room. The extensive improvements to these superior suite of rooms have been executed by Mr. Hunt, the resident surveyor. The furnishing, &c. has been per ' formed by Messrs. Bayley and Saunders, in the state rooms ; and in the other rooms by Messrs. France and Ranting. The Marshalmen, Portent, Under Porters, Gentlemen Porters, and Sergeant Porter, were at their stations. The ' Pages appeared in the splendid uniforms, the livery ser vants in the state liveries. The Yeomen Guard, who lined 'the Guard-chamber, were dressed in their full coronation , cosiume. The King's excellent private band, consisting of i forty performers, were stationed In the Presence Chambers, dressed in their splendid coronation uniforms ; they com menced Abele performances with the" Imperial March." They also played in the eourse of the evening the " Arch duke- Albe►t' , ; Match," and the celebrated "Hunting Chinita" in Der Frei:auk. The King left his private apartments at the early hour of about half-past 9 o'clock, and entered the State Rooms, dressed in the regimentals of the Royal Horse Guards, with a brilliant diamond star on his left breast, and a diamond hilted sword. His Majesty I appeared in most excellent health, which greatly heightened the pleasure of the King's distinguished visiters. The King promenaded the rooms previous to the arrival of the company, to view them lighted for the first time. The King was soon joined by the Great Officers of State, and the Royal Family, who arrived early. The Royal Family entered by the Grand Court-yard, where they were re ceived with military honours by the King's Guard, the hand of the Coldatn am Regiment, in their state uniforms, playing " God save the King," which national . anthem was repeated by the King's band as they passed through the rooms, which had a most delightful effect. The Duke and Duchess of Gloucester came in state. The Duke of York, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, the Princess Augusta, the Duchess of Kent, the Princess Feeder', Prince Leopold, and the Princess Sophia Matilda, the Duke and Prince William of Brunswick, and Prince Sclioniberg, were present. His Majesty promenaded the rooms with the Duchess of Gloucester and the Duchess of Cambridge on each arm, at the same time stopping to converse with many of the company. The entrance of the grand staircase and avenues leading to the state rooms had the effect of an illuminated grove, from the well arranged distribution of the trees, shrubs, &c., and the ladies passing through the rooms, with the waving of their elegant plumes of feathers, the bands playing at the same time, had a most fascinating effect. The ladies' dresses were all new for the occasion, and were of the most costly description. The display of jewels was profuse. Quadrilles and waltzes were alternately danced. The Duke of Cambridge waltzed with the Duchess of Rutland. 'I :le King led the way to the banqueting room, where his Majesty remained but a short time, owing to the op pressive heat occasioned by the numerous company, as well as from the profuse number of candelabra, &c. The supper, it is scarcely necessary to say, consisted of every delicacy, and was served up in the most magnificent style in the massive services of plate, under the care of Mr. Jowe►s. The fruits consisted of pines, melons, peaches, and other choice fruits, from the Royal gardens at Ken sington, Kew, &c. reared under the direction of Mr, Alton, the King's principal gardener. One of the pieces of gold plate for the dessert was re a_ o_ • s_ age to receive pine-apples. There were other pieces of gold plate representing Tritons supporting shells, contain ing fruit, &c. ; groups of infant boys, representing the Seasons, executed in a very bold and masterly manner. The whole of the numerous vases, desert ornaments, &c. used on this occasion, were enriched with the finest subjects from the antique, and the greatest variety of groups finished in the finest style of workmanship; the ilishts were also richly chased. At the top of the table were four or-mole candelabra, placed at regular distances between each dessert ornament, the candelabra containing five wax lights each. On the top of the lofty chimney-piece stoxl four candelabra, with six wax lights each. In addition to these, the room was brilliantly illuminated by s number of candelabra containing a number of lights each, placed alternately with the dessert ornaments, at stated distances on both the side 'tables. The magnificent and lofty beaufct at the end of the room, was about 15 feet high, and 20 in breadth, covered with a display of gold plate. The ceiling of the room contained thirteen large gilt ventilators; from the middle of the centre one was sus pended the large gilt chandelier. Four other chandeliers, also gilt, were suspended from the middle of the compart ments at the corners of the room. On each side of the beanie were the stars of the Orders of the Garter and the Bath, placed in an escutcheon, sur mounted by a crown, all richly gilt. Four other stars to correspond were on the wall at the other end of the room. After supper dancing was resumed, which continued till past three o'clock. The company had all kit the Palace by four.

THE vour!r Yoitetday afternoon, asfour o clock, his Majesty held a Court at his Palace at St. James's, which is the Brat Court that has been held at that place f or about eighteen years. The Yeomen of the Guard lined the Guard Chamber through which the Ministers, 4Ste. who attended the Court passed on to the Rqyal Cloietodighting at the Colonnade at the cart end of the Palace. _ prospectus . tion of a Joint-Stock Company of great magnitude and im portance. It is entitled, Societe conameaditaire de elptchtstrie." Its object is to promote the general industry of the muntry, in any undertaking to which, on mature consideration, it may appear advisable to apply capital. The sum subscribed is fifty-millions of francs, with power, if necessary, to increase the subscription to twice that ex tent. This sum is divided into fifty thousand shares of a thousand francs each. The Company enly waits for the royal license to begin its operations. It will itself originate no undertaking. According to its title, it will only furnish capital to undertakings already commenced by individuals, and in every instance in which assistance is _rendered, the undertaking must have for its ohject, specially, either the promotion of some new branch of industry, or the im provement of some existing manufacture. "The Company will not interfere with any trade, except with a view to its advancement In one of these respects. The business of the Company will be conducted with great care and prudence. It will prefer remaining wholly inactive to risking its success by any precipitation. It will be governed by a general board of management, by which all propositions will be examined and decided ; a committee of directors, by which the plans, when adopted, will be carried into execution, and five cen sors, who will superintend the whole administration of the company. The General Board of Management will con sist of thirty Directors, elected for five years by the Share holders. The Committee will consist of the President l and two Vice-Presidents, appointed by the Djrectors for twelve months. All these offices will be honorary.

At an early hour lnearly eirery box was filled with company, and before the curtain drew up a seat in the pit was not to be obtained, Signor Velluti was.mtich more successful than on either of his former appearances, because having overcome his timi dity, he gave fuller scope to his powers; his execution was ,extremely brilliant, and the certainty with which he ap peared to go through the moat difficult passages, surpassed almost every other singer we have heard, and his voice possesses great power. The duett " ; girt vareasti in degno" with Curioni was snitch mere effective than on the former representations; and his duett with Madame Cara dori, " II Tcnero Affetto," from its neatness of execution, and beauty of expression, was one of the must beautiful performances that we ever heard ; it was rapturously. applauded, said received an unanimous encore. i'llrough . - out the whole of the night it was apparent that Signor Velluti is becoming &decided favourite with the- public. Madetnoiselle Garcia sustained the character of Felicia extremely well ; however she, like her father, is distin guished by a redundancy of ornament in every part of her performance. The Opera also derived considerable sup port from Madame Cartulori, who sang the very expressive aril 44' Ah mire l'angelo' in her boat style. Ctirioni and Remorini also played with their usual success. The opera was followed by the ballet of La Coquette Soumise. DRURY-LANE. Last night, after the comedy of the Jealous it had bees hurried through in a very inefficient manner at this **re, was produced a dramatic piece entitled Fire Minutes too Lade, or an Elopement p Rheims, got up for the purpose of introducing a representation of the cere monials which took place upon the decasion of the corona tion of Charles X. The dramatic part of this entertain ment is absolutely beneath criticism. It consists of the adventures of "wog - Clipeard 417.1iirley), a . pawn-, brolier's shoturiaSs; ;: wlsO weasusa bottle green coat, an 4 aseteeda in entrapping the - ifectiona of his master daughter, Nancy Iteadydumps (Miss I. Paton) who wears a pea-greeh habit. This pair of loving turtles abscond for France, from the Three Golden Balls, in the Strand, for the purpose, as the lady declares, of being united in " the (*negated state." In their way to the " the French cestment," as Mr. Clibrard denominates it, they take Brighton, where they are first introduced to our notice, bitting in an apartment at the Old Ship Inn, the waiter bang busied, according to the printed book of the play, in " taking sway the dishes and plates on which they have dined. After this novel sort of meal, they get on board a steamer bound for Dieppe, being closely pursued by Old Readycluinps (Mr. Terry) and his housekeeper (Mrs. Harluwe), who bears the romantic name of Mistress Picea lilly. We must just atop a moment here to give our readers an idea of the literary merits of this production— take part of a glee— " In peace, we sail upon trading trips, " In war, we serve in our Sartmeign s ships His enemies to kaflocr ! ! "For sailors are mode, " As England knows, " To ,wall tier trade, " A r,d bang her fuel !" Give us some civic, good apothecary, to sweeten our imagination ! Arrived at Dieppe, our hero and heroine set off fir Rheims, as closely followed by Readythimps anti Picrafin3 ,as Harlequin and CefonsLine, by Clown and Pantaloon, in a pantomime. This journey gives occasion for the irditaduc lion of some beautiful scenery by Roberts; it colisrsts of panoramic views of the coast to Havre, thence by the river Seine to Rouen, and afterwards to Rheims ; a view of ' Paris being given in the distance. These are among the finest scenic efforts we have ever witnessed, mid are almost the only part of this spectacle (with the exception of the :acre) worth looking at. That part of them along the French r ' thence Mantes through 'rely as a grand ability displayed other pheno particularly in .antly changing perceivable in na- Arrived at Rheims informs us, ou rears: thews),. pursuers, having first loarning which fact, seeing nigh ter ,hole forest of ostrich feathers, Old licadydumps naturally anti charac teristically forgives them, and all proceed to the grand scene of the Coronation. The ceremonies of the Nacre commence by a grand procession, consisting of the King and State,, to the metropolitan church, the exterior of which is beautifully and faithfully represented in a scene of great merit by Roberta. The persons composing the procession pass in succession front the stage round the pit, on a platform laid down for the purpose on a level with l i Ant dress boxes. The effect of this part of the represent/1- ,1184 as not so fine as might have been expected, but was sompensated by the following scene, by Marinari, depicting the interior of the cathedral, as fitted up for the coronation ceremony, and filled by the several characters and per sonages convoked to attend it. The dresses and decorations of the King, Nobles, &c. in this scene, including the regalia, are exceedingly splendid, and, united with the so lemn nature of the ceremonial, produce a most striking and imposing effect. It is given out the copies of costume, &c. are in every respect faithful. We have no reason to .doubt it, as in general they are very splendid. On the whole,. the production of this spectacle does great credit to the liberality and spirit of the Management ; we trust the patronage of the public will be sufficient to repay the enormous expense that must have attended it. But to do so the houses must be better than that of last night. We have already expressed our opinion pretty frankly of the dramatic portion of this piece. It is in truth mise rable ; anti as it regards any connexion with the Corona tion, is worse than supererogatory—a piece of low imperti nence. We would recommend it to be discarded altogether, forming, as it at present does, such a sorry frame to so splendid a picture. Under iose circumstances, we shall say nothing of the performers who were doomed to bear a part in it, farther titan that they one and all exerted themselves to the utmost ; and that if the low vulgarity of the dialogue, and the profusion of miserah:e puns which pervade this " ('omit Sketch," occasionally called down the hisses of the audience, the actors were in no degree culpable.

This elegant retreat, the abode of Mr. Greenwood, was yesterday a scene of distinguished gayety. Carriers began to arrive at three o'clock, and continued without intermis sion till half-past six, at which hour there were upwards of seven hundred of the most fashionable equipages in town, occupying the open roads in the neighbour. hood, to the distance of half a mile, in every direction. Amongst the exalted visitert, exceeding two thowtand In number, were the Dukes of York, Cambridge, Wellington, and (:'oucester, and nearly all the Nobility of both sexes. The refection, consisting of every delicacy of the season, with a profusion of the wines of every clime, was spread in covered avenues. The beautiful grounds wore laid out in the most attractive manner for the occasion, with mar quees, &c., and a splendid military band continued throughout the day to regale the company with select and appropriate music. The beauty of the weather lent dazzling charm to the scene, never surpassed by any fete champetre of a similar nature. The carriages commenced . taking up at eight o'clock, and continued to do so foe several hours before the grounds were ebtirely deserted. Every precaution was taken to prevent the confusion so pikely to ensue upon the congregation of so many carriages. A large party of the London patrol were statioaed in the vicinity for this purpose. - e INFANT SCHOOLS. • We rejoice to see the p --...........- roLvress which she System of afarit Schools is making, not only in the metropcdis. bat throughout the country. It is urged against these 'natl. tutions, that they relieve the parents too much from the charge of bringing tip their oftlipring. If this objection really applies to Infant Schools, it is deserving of serious, consideration; for in that case they would only encourage excessive population, and by that means add at the present stock of want, wretchedness, and crime. Sot we are satisfied that this objection does not apply to Infant Schools, as they only relieve the parents in that particular in which they too often neglect their duty, a nd indeed are frequently incapable of performing it satisfactorily. The regulations of these Institutions require that the children shall be brought every morning to the sehool in a cleanly state, and decently clothed; and they are also required to bring their dinners with them: so that in these matters the parents save nothing; on the contrary, they are perhaps incited, by the example of an industrious neighbour, to clothe their children better than they otherwise would. In some Schools, too, they pay a penny or twopettee a week for each child: and this salutary regulation, wu think, should never be omitted. It is, then, only with respect to their attendance upon their children that these Institu tions can relieve the poor. Now it is obvious that during working hours they can pay but little attention to their children, and consequently they are left to take their chance in the street, or are shut up in some close and crowded apartment. Experieuce has proved that infants of three or four years old may be instructed. They may be taught the essence of religious truth; they may learn to estimate the ,propriety of the golden rule, that no on e s h o uld d o to another what he should dislike if done to hitntelf. Their passions may,. ttssides, be controultsl, and they may be instructed to be have respectfully to their superiors, and kindly to their com panions. Now, although the instruction which infants re quire is but little, in order that their temp e r s an d h a bi ts may be properly tliscipiined, much care, and constant at tention, are requisite. For this task the parents have not time : and, indeed, the tempers of many are not suited to it. When called from their avocations by a fretful and quarrelsome child, they find it easier to scold and bear, than with kindness to reprove and convince. The great advantage of the Infant School system consists in the fact, that the conductor knous it-is his business to attend to the children, and to correct their faults, at all events, with kindness; and, if possible, to convince them they are wrong. Children will appreciate the kindness of one who interests himself in their favour. The division of labour is as applicable to education as to trade. We could wish to show the fallacy of some other objections to them institu tions ; hut this article is already longer than we intended. IV'e shall, perhaps, return to the subject. MAD DOGS. TO THE EDITOR OF THE BRITISH PRESS.

In one place, from fifty to sixty were congregated, to the annoyance and pro. bathe injury of his Nlsjesty's subjects. And to whom do these dogs belong? Why, to a let of beings who ei4he.• make no use of them at all, or keep them and use them for any purpose but a beneficial one. 1 am for allowing to all classes the extreme latitude of innocent amusement, but I beg to suggest, that amongst the class Of persons who inhabit the district I have mentioned, the permission to keep dogs, at large, , inJ iiithaut beiNg muzzled, is neither necessary nor safe.

This theatre,tiuriagthe two or three by-gene seasons, possessed a very considerable share of popular favour, and its present commencement holds out a fair promise that it will merit and enjoy a continuance of it. It has placid, as it were, in " the head and front" of its pretensions a ucw opera, performed for the first time last evening, and per formed throughout with great ability and with complete success. The opera is entitled Broken Promises, or The Colonel, the Captain, and the Corporal. - The main plot of the opera is very simple, and the acting part derives its in terest chiefly from a few well-selected dramatic situations, and from a dialogue of much vivacity, well suited to the respective petformers to whom its delivery is intrusted. There is little of novelty in the circumstances of which the story is made up. Air. Fairfiehl (Mr. Bartley) has two sons, Captain Fairfield (Mr. Thorne) and Charles Fair field (Mr. Broadhurst). He is also guardian of two beautiful, accomplished young ladies, Locisa and .N.'ntnra, Miss Noel and Miss Stephens. These wards he adopts as•his dsughtcrs. An attachment (na turally enough) is formed in early life between these young , ladies and young gentlemen. Captain FairfieN, however, enters the army, and his affections are laid siege to and taken by storm, by a young lady of beauty, fashion, and fortune. This is the first instance of a " broken pro mise." The second consists in the conduct of a Colonel Cooland (Mr. Wrench), who makes love to two ladies, is indifferent about both, and, in a fit of ennui, marries ono of them. The third, and moat striking, illustration of h , 1(1- ing " the word of promise to the ear, and .breaking it to the hope," is that of Corporal Balance O'Coa,or (Nits.

The Atlgen:eine Zeitung contains the following particu lars of the will of the sister of Napoleon Bonaparte, whose death we lately announced :— " The Princess Paulina Borghese, who died on the 901, after a long and painful illness, has left a will, in which, after deducting the legal part coming to her mother Letitia Bonaparte, she ap ' points her two brothers, the Count of St. Leu (Louis) and the Prince of 3lontfort (Jerome) her principal heirs.

This superstition has been the cause of a crime being committed in one of the communes of the Lot-et-Garonne department, which the Court of Assizes has just putlislied. A poor old woman, called the Widow Chaffour, was reported to have commu nication with eril spirits. Four of her neighbours had had misfortunes, or had been ill from the charms, as was said, that she had put upon them. They agreed together to take vengeance ; and un Sunday.

They immediately attacked her with Sticks, and dragged her per force into the house of Fro ment, where the woman Founadre was waiting for them. The -door was shut with great caution, and the supposed: witch was desired to remove the fate she had cast upon her 1 1 neighbours. As it was oat of the power of the poor old: woman to do this, she was confirmed to be burnt. A fire on the ground was immediately prepared, and she was thrown into it.
