By F. B. COURTENAY, -- • - '" And formerly Surgeon to the Metropolitan Infirmary for the Cui4 of Strictures of the Urethra. " This work is the production of a surgeon whose special attention has been directed, through a long professional life, to the treatment of strictures of the urethra. The cases which Mr. Courtenay has given supply ample evidence of his great discriminative power in the diagnosis of the various kinds of stricture, and of the scientific principles upon which their management is founded. Byhis systematic management an immense mitigation of pain to the unhappy sufferers is attained, and future mischief prevented. The work we can most unreservedly and confidently recommend as a valuable contribution, both to the general and professional reader, and ought to be found in the private study of all who are subject to stricture."—Medical Circular, Dec.

We did no's; shrink from its advocacy while there seemed a hopo or chance of its attainment, and we never lowered the flag we Ibught under till the field was irrevocably- lost. When it was lost—when, in the quiet secu r ity o f v i c t or y, the conqueror was in a Position t o sm il e a t i mpoten t b ragga do c io and empty defiance, we sought to save our countrymen from ind u l g i ng i n t h ese l ast d egra d a ti ons o f th e defeated. Men who had shrunk from the strife when dan ger was impending, who had skulked and trimmed, an d h es i tate d w h en t h ere was r i s k t o run, began, with the cnrrish instincts of their tribe, to bark and snarl when all was over. But, conscious of its melancholy position, shrinking, let us trust, from the deep humiliation of mocking by a sham agitation its own bygone earnestness, the country allowed Repeal to die gradually out, and the traders in patriotism had to invent some new devices to win popularity and influence. These have served their hour, and are now worn thread bare. Tenant right is used up ; and, in the utter destitution of ideas, there are found some men now who dare to drag forward the question of nationality again for their selfish purposes—to stick up over the penny show box where they perform their vul gar antics the consecrated though fallen standard of their country. " To enter into any argument with a view of de monstrating that the proposed revival of the agita tion for nationality is a wretched farce would be preposterous. We need but point to the meeting. Universal Ireland stands there represented by The O'Donoghue, Mr. J. F. Maguire, and the ghost— we presume—of Mr. O'Neill Daunt, for of the gen tleman himself we do not remember to have heard for ten years past ! These men—substance or shadow—are to do the work which O'Connell, Davis, Meaglaer, Dillon, O'Brien, Mitchel, baeked by the fervour of two•thirds of the Irish people, not merely failed, but miserably failed to do. One might smile at the folly, if one were not astounded at the effrontery, of these new leaders. But the effrontery is too much to smile at. That three or four insignificant persons should take on themselves to enact parts immeasurably above their abilities may be simply laughable; but that men who have been the systematic revilers and slanderers of those most conspicuous for patriotism and public virtue in other lands, men who have been the apologists of every crowned and sceptred scoundrel who has earned a special reputation for his hatred of liberty and savage vindictiveness towards its advocates— that such men should offer themselves as leaders in a struggle professing to have liberty for its ob ject is really unendurable. The manacle would be still on the noblest limbs in Europe, the lash uplifted in the hands of the vilest tyrants, if the Rotunda patriots could have had their prayers but heard. And yet they dare to prate of liberty ; they dare to rant of nationhood. When they can point to any land on the earth's wide surface in which liberty and nationhood have been gained by empty braggarts and by selfish charlatans, we may believe in the possibility of their success. But, till we have had some such loca lity indicated, we shall regard this national revival as the most pitiable imposture of the day." PRIG: 6 4. S T ' IM PED, SD. ingly the telegram now received, that under his sway the British Legation has been robbed of the entire amount deposited. there, can net create much surprise. Indeed, the pro bability is that the resignation of Miramon was merely arranged in order to allow Robles, who had no character to lose, to eonsura mate this transaction. To the bondholders, 'Wow evcr, the event need cause no disquiet. The act was performed by the Mexican Government, the premises of the British Legation have been violated, the sanctity of its seal disregarded, and, the private property of British subjects plundered in the manner most insulting to their Government and country. No nation can maintain its place in the world that would submit to such acts, and from this moment it may be considered that the Suarez party will receive from all sources such support as will enable them to establish some degre , J of order throughout the Republic, and not only to make the fall reparation that will be exacted, but also to furnish guarantees for the future. 171 January next the amount of arrears due to the bondholders will comprise 14; half-yearly dividends, representing a total of £2l per cent., and im'mediately on the re establishment of any central authority, some pro vision must be made for these, either in the shape of direct payment or an adequate funding. The deputy-chairman of the Committee of Mexi can Bondholders went yesterday afternoon to obtain an interview at the Foreign -office. The Committee of Mexican Bondholders have not received any advices by the present New York mail. The Mexican accounts yesterday by the Ameri can steamer confirm the capture of Guadalaxara by the Juarez forces—a success greater than any other that could have been gained short of the occupation of the capital. This statement, however, together with that of the robbery of the British Legation, comes via New Orleans, and both therefore should be received with considerable reserve. THE FLOODS LAST WEEK. LOSS OF LIFE. The provincial papers of Saturday record serious damage done in various parts of the country by the heavy rain and consequent floods of last week, On Friday, the river Ribble overflowed its banks at Preston. The rains had so seriously affected the embankments of a deep cutting near Galgate, on the Lancaster and Carlisle Railway, that two men were stationed to watch them. On Thursday night a slide of many tons of earth did occur, and com pletely blocked up the line, preventing its drainage, and a deep lake was soon thus accumulated. A new mansion, at present being built by the Duke of Buccleuch for his steward, Mr. Edward Wadham, at Millwood, near Dalton, fell down on Monday, in consequence of the rains having flooded the cellars and washed away the foundations of the building. In the neighbourhood of Todmorden the rivers swelled to a great height on Thursday evening. The one which runs through the Burnley Valley rose to a height never witnessed before. At Gandy Bridge the pressure of the water forced down about six yards of the wall, when the stream rushed into the turnpike road, covering the cricket field, part of the churchyard, and the road as far as Omervel's factory, with one sheet of water. In some of the streets in Cobden the water was two yards high, some of the houses being full. It was Friday night before some of the tenants got free of their unwelcome visitor. In the Maccleseld district damage was done on Thursday night. The dyehouse of Messrs. Ham mond, in Sutton, was flooded to a considerable ex tent, and some silk and dyeing apparatus were under water. The. Bollin rose to an unusual height, overflowing its banks in many places, while the stream which rushed rapidly past the angle of the new factory in the Lower Heys, made its way into the building to the depth of several feet. At Presbury, the water got into the cottages. In Butloy, portions of hedgerows were washed down, and part of Henbury Park was inundated. From further south the accounts are not less serious. We have already recorded a fatal accident, occasioned by the flood, which resulted in the death of a 'Worcestershire clergyman. In Herefordshire, there are great floods on the Wye, the Lugg, and the Monnow, and some con siderable destruction of property has taken place ; and a contemporary states that the embankments of the Worcester and Hereford Railway have sunk several inches during the recent heavy rains, and that the excavators have been obliged to suspend operations, not being able to work more than two or three days in the week. On Friday, the Ludlow mail coach on its way to Worcester, could not come beyond Eastham, owing to the flood. A cor respondent writes :—"The Severn and its tributa ries have risen to a height seldom known before, and flooded the surrounding country. At Lye mill, about three miles from Bridgenorth, a stream called the Marbrook became a perfect torrent on Friday last. In its course it hurried with it the mill-dam connected with the premises of Mr. Elcock, farmer and miller. The lower rooms of the mill and adjacent buildings were submerged to a depth of five or six feet. At Tuckford, another stream called the Corvebrook, had also swelled into the dimensions of a wide river ; and here a sad calamity occurred on Thursday night. Mr. Bloke ley, an extensive farmer, was on his way home front Ludlow to Tuckford on that evening ; and having arrived at the margin of the stream, where it was fordable when at its usual height, he rode his horse into it. When about half way across the force of the current bore the animal from its feet, and both horse and rider were whirled down the stream. Mr. Blokeley clung to the animal for some time, and energetic endeavours were made_ by some of his own servants—who witnessed the accident—to reach him. Their efforts, however, were vain, for in a short time the horse and rider became separated. managed to struggle to land, but Mr. Tho animal the present Blokeley was s wept away, and up t o not been recove re d .

JOHN MATHEWSON, Secretary. 9, Billiter-street, London, Dec. 5, 1860. MR. J. T.NORRIS,3I.P.F')P. ABINGDON, OH PUBLIC AFFAIRS. On Tuesday last the members of the Abingdon Philanthropic Institution held their annual dinner, at the Queen's Arms Hotel, on which occasion the health of Mr. Norris, the representative of the borough, was drunk amidst the greatest enthu siasm. On the applause subsiding— Mr. NoRRIS rose, and after some preliminary remarks on the object and usefulness of the institu tion, said—l think my experience as a member of the House of Commons justifies me in speaking of that assembly with some authority, and I venture to say that, taken in the aggregate, it is a body of gentlemen who are actuated by the highest sentiments of honour, and the warmest love of their country and their kind, and notwithstanding all the severe newspaper critics have written in the way of censure and condemnation—notwithstand ing its shortcomings in some particulars, it does, in my opinion, represent in a most remarkable degree the interests, the opinions, and the feelings of this great country. (Hear.) Parliament has been accused by some of too much talking, of wasting time in debates which had no practical result. I do not deny that the charge is in some measure true, but I submit that the error is on the safe side. Too much debate is better than too little. The house punished itself, and not the country, by a long session and late sittings, which were a tax on the patient endurance and physical strength of the members; whilst their effect on the country was to preserve it from unconsidered measures and hasty legislation. For my own part, I believe that full discussion in Parliament serves to inform the popu lar mind and to settle and consolidate public opinion. With a national expenditure of more than 70 millions it would be impossible for any Minister of either party so equitably to adjust the taxation of the country as to satisfy all classes of her Majesty's subjects—impossible to make the pressure so equal as to prevent complaints of an undue share of the public burdens ; and if a Govern ment could be found that could raise such a sum without a murmur, the task of distributing the patronage incident to its expenditure, without creating some measure of discontent, would be an impossibility. Yet I am bold to say that in the appointments and patronage connected with the administration of law and justice, in the various departments of the Civil Service, in the Church, and in the two great branches of the national defences, viz., the Army and Navy, there is, criticise these appointments as we may, a remarkable degree of justice and purity; and, grumble as we always do, yet taking into consideration the purity which marks the administration of law and justice, and distin guishes the affairs of State in this country, and looking at the degree of public liberty and reli gious freedom, there is not one amongst us whose heart does not burn within him with national pride that he was born a Briton. (Cheers.) To return to the history of the past session. We passed many public acts and a large number of private bills, all of them of the utmost importance to the commercial interests of the eountry, so that our proceedings did not all end in idle talk. (Cheers.) I believe the general tendency of our legislation and our discussions was to create a better feeling with France than before subsisted, whilst we laid down and established as a national maxim that principle of non-interference in foreign States, where the people were struggling to achieve their national liberty. Perhaps some may say, " Yes, but you did not pass the Bankruptcy Bill." On an average 35 per cent. of the assets of the bankrupts' estates throughout the country is absorbed by the expenses of administration, and this is a grievous wrong to the commercial and trading commu nity. My explanation is, that this bill is only withdrawn until the coming session—pres sure of time was the sole reason. It had some 459 clauses in it, and before we got through a hundred of them there was a clear intimation from the law lords that they would not take it up unless sent to their house in the then current week. In this state Sir Richard Bethell (undoubtedly the greatest man of his day) had no alternative but to delay it until the next session ; and seeing that all the great lawyers on both sides of the house, and all the great commercial interests in the country are favourable to it, there can be no doubt of its passing next session. (Hear.) Perhaps others may say, " You did not pass a Reform Bill, and the talk on the Reform Bill delayed the Bankruptcy Bill." Well it seems the fate of Reform Bills to get strangled or put aside in some other unnatural way. Lord John Russell's bill of 1852, which proposed the political matrimony of little country towns with old parlia mentary boroughs, had to be withdrawn because the parties interested "forbid the banns." His bill of 1854 met a similar fate. The Tory bill of 1859, conceived in the spirit of party tactics, and opposed to all the traditions of its authors, was intended to cut the ground from under the Whigs, and to de stroy their old party cry of Reform. Disraeli said to the Whigs, " You have no right to a monopoly of the professions of a reform policy, we are Liberal Conservatives,and we will be Reformers. But his bill was soon killed in a party conflict, and was cast into the limbo of unaccomplished acts, side by aide with its two elder brothers of the Russell parentage.' Lord John Russell promised that he would try his hand again, he fulfilled his promise, bat failed in his object. (Hear.) I will not say his bill was strangled or otherwise violently dealt with, but I must submit that he delivered it in a cold and unimpassioned manner to the house, that the house received it without a cheer, and that the country looked upon it with indifference; there were no meetings to support it, no enthusiasm in its favour. It had to bear a great quantity of small talk, whereof it died ; it slept itself away, its complaint was inanition. The defeat of that bill was brought about by. many causes, not neces sarily akin to each other, but all conspiring to produce the same result. The attitude of France was regarded, I will not say with fear, but what next would happen was a matter of soli citude and anxiety to every person in the country. (Cheers.) The state of our national defences, the question of our foreign policy, and the spirit mani fested by working men in trades' unions and in strikes, absorbed the general attention, and left neither time nor opportunity for the public to re gard and discuss the question of Reform. If a man were occupied in his own household, debating and settling some matters of difference between the mem bers of his own family, and heard in the midst of a discussion, bordering perh a p s on strife, some noisy disturbance in the street, threatening by its violence to invade the sanctity of his dwelling, he would naturally enough drop all questions of individual domestic grievances, and there would be a family compact to resist the aggression expected from without. (Hear.) And so it was with the country. Instead of considering questions of internal policy, every man's thoughts were of national safety, and a system of voluntary association to defend our national rights and liberties. Another great reason why the question of Reform had lost ground in the public mind was the promulgation of the doctrine that in equalities in social life resulted from political causes. Such a doctrine was calculated to unfit - ' those who are low in the social scale for the posses sion of political power, for, being erroneous in prin ciple and wrong in fact, it is an evil in its tenden cies and its consequences. (Hear, hear.) It does not follow that because to be denied political power, produces no social disadvantages, that therefore there is no need for its extension, but it does follow that any man who reckons on the possession of the franchise as a means of advancing his social position has within himself the very element which is turned to account by corruption, and is sure to become its victim, either in some mitigated form in relation to his customers or his trade, or the un blushing condition of an open bribe. Instead there fore, of teaching the working man that he has some thing to gain for himself by acquiring the franchise, his political education should be that it is a trust to be exercised in the service of his country, and solely with a view to the good government of the people. (Cheers.) Take as an illustration the case of the Tower Hamlets; suppose a man who never had a vote for that borough obtained one to-mar row, he would obtain the twenty thousandth part of right to elect two members, who consti tute the three-hundred-and-twenty-ninth part of one branch of the Legislature ; and, if the fran chise were - further extended, his fractional propor- tion of political power would become even smaller. How could this minute portion of political autho rity advance his social position ? (Cheers.) You will understand that I am not arguing in defence of what has been done, or speculating upon what might be done, I am only giving you my reflections upon the facts and circumstances as they occurred. I will not even venture to say what ought in future to be done, nor to predict who will next take itup. The question of any great organic change does not depend on the opinions of the Ministers or the will of Parliament, but is entirely in the hands of the people. (Loud cheers.) But change or no change, reform or no reform, I exult in the thought that England surpasses every other country in progress, prosperity, and contentment, and enjoys such a full measure of public liberty and religious freedom that she is at once the envy and admiration of sur rounding States. (Hear, hear.) The zeal of the Italian in his recent struggle for nationality has been fired by the hope of obtaining a constitutional Government like our own, and the inspiration of English liberty roused even the indolent Neapoli tans to shake off the tyrant who oppressed them. The officers of state in Central Italy kept their position only by the presence of foreign armies. The Sicilians were taking arms in aid of Italian nationality. Prussia was full of dynastic tyranny, and desired that the great European Powers should unite and interfere to put down the struggling Italians. Prussia favoured this idea to the extent of debating the matter in a conference at Warsaw, but the plot was ultimately abandoned. All this occupied the public mind, and called off the atten tion of the people from any considerations as to the manner in which the question of reform had been disposed of; the future only can disclose when next it will be brought before Parliament and the country.

LA'MERT on the Treatment and cure of NERVOUS and PHYSICAL DEBILITY, resulting from pernicious habits contracted in Youth, excesses in Man hood, or residence in Tropical Climates. With Cases and En gravings from Life, representing the various Organs in Health and Disease. The extensive circulation of this work may be attributed in great measure to the fact that the Author is the only duly qualified and legally registered Practitioner who for 20 years has made the 'Diseases arising usually from Imprudence the peculiar objects of his attention. The im pediments which so often either prohibit wedlock, or embitter and render it a state of misery, by disappointing its fondest hopes and marring its highest objects, are, though varied in form, closely analogous in reality. The mischief may arise in nocently, from deleterious influences devolved from the necessities of position—from circumstances which occurred years before the sufferers were born, from accident or the in fluence of tropical climates, but chiefly from Self-incurred Afflictions, dating back, in too numerous instances, to a period long preceding that at which reason could be matured by ex perience. A professional prejudice, which happily is now fast disap pearing, though it still lingers with no little obstinacy in some of the more antiqiiated medical schools, for a long time almost ignored the morbid affections comprised under the general designation " Nervous and Physical Debility," though these affections are probably more destructive and widely pre valent than any others. The consequence of so important a department of pathology being* neglected is, that sufferers from the infirmities in question, virtually r , ..pelled from consultation with prac titioners of standing,- and character, are thus liable to fall into the hands of unqualified Empirics, sometimes assuming titles in the Medical Register (whereby they incur serious legal whose names are not to be found ofpme medical icyais penalties), c s. r n wo sia o , s n sEe d i oi ul:rogreaonnts Those these cases render these disorders a standing reproach to the meddling with the treatment of who may have a suspicion that any of the obs ervations here made have pec uliar applica tion to themselves, may consider that cases are indeed rare in which practised science cannot fully realise long-deferred hopes, remove all causes of mutual reproach, and replace chronic embitterment by permanent content.

One of the severest storms that have occurred here for some time commenced on the evening of Friday last week, and continued with little abatement until Tuesday. Though little damage has been done in town, or even in the country districts, yet our islands have more than their usual average of casualties by sea to record. The wind blew strong from E. to S.E., and the sea around was lashed up to tremendous fury. No steamer or boat of course ventured out, so that up till Wednesday morning we were cut off from our usual supply of intelli gence furnished by the post and packets. During the course of Monday, however, painful news dropped in of a vessel having been seen to the south-west of Copinshay, apparently in a state of great distress. On the morning of that day it ap pears the inhabitants of the peninsula of Deerness descried a sail, which, as it gradually became more visible, appeared evidently to be making for the land. At this time the wisest course for the vessel would have been, whenever it came in sight of the shore to leeward, to run for Holm Sound, or to go round the reef of Copinshay, and so to make for one of the natural harbours lying to the north. Neither of these courses, however, did she adopt, but, on the contrary, stood straight towards the shore, and, as the sea was rolling in in heavy masses from the German Ocean, in a short time she was borne so far inward as to be quite embayed. Her fate now became inevitable. By no way whatever was there the smallest opening of escape for the unfortunate vessel, and but little hope could remain in the breasts of the spectators of saving the crew, though numbers of people had by this time reached the shore, anxious, if possible, to render every assistance in their power. Nearer and nearer the vessel came, and signals were made by those on shore for the ship to steer for the sand of Dennisgoe—the only place where they had the smallest expectation of doing anything for the unhappy crew. No notice, however, was taken of the signals, and it is probable from the great quantity of spray that was flying about that they were not seen or not pro perly understood. Instead of making to the spot signaled out the ship still continued her course to the southward, and a little after one o'clock in the day approached very near to the rocks to the west of Stembister, and, notwithstanding everything that was now done by the crew to bear off, was in a short time within the boiling surge, and help lessly tossed 'about by the raging tempest. Here she struggled for a while, until one huge wave seized, and, as with giant's grasp, bore her right upon one of the outlying rocks in which the coast abounds.' Having been frightfully shattered by the shock she was yet again driven back, and, as if ithe work of destruction was not yet complete, was borne by a second wave once more upon the same rock, and the next instant the sea appeared strewn with the broken fragments. All this took placenot more than the ship's own length from the face of the cliff, which would be here about 90 or 100 feet in height ; and so terrible was the force with which she came on that staves of casks were actually thrown right up to the top of the precipice. By the men above the crew were distinctly seen on board, but not the smallest assistance could be rendered, the only duty the people on shore could render being that of appearing as mournful spectators of the melancholy catastrophe. The ship's name is not yet known, but the cargo seems to have con sisted IA linseed, which, from part of the wreck that has come en shore, appears to have been shipped at Riga by Thomas Renny and Co. Of this cargo not a particle has been saved, and of the whole wreck itself scarcely so much has yet been gathered as will realise a few pounds in value. Several ar ticles have been picked up, and among them a bungee, bearing upon it the words N. and Daniel," and from this probably the name may be discovered. A private signal has also been found marked " R 87," and bearing the Russian merchantman's co- lours in the corner. Nothing further has as yet been found to afford a clue to the name of the ill-fated ship, but from all that has been ga thered it is believed she is a foreigner. Mr. Baikie, agent for Lloyd's, and a Custom-house officer were on the spot soon after the vessel struck, and have taken possession of the part of the wreck that was found, On Wednesday afternoon , about four o'clock, the bodies of two of the crew were picked up on the beach below Stembister, in the parish of St. Andrew, about half a mile from the spot where the vessel struck, and the same evening Constable M'Kay found the bodies of four more, the whole number found being thus, up to the present time, six. They all appear to have been stout men, apparently between 30 and 40 years of age, with the exception of one, which appears to be the body of a youth of about 17. The features of all are so much disfigured that it would be vain to look for anything in them which could in any way lead to the identification of the bodies. Certain ornaments, however, found on their persons may yet assist in this result, On the third finger of the right hand of one of the men (a tall dark-haired man) there was found a ring, on the inside of which are en graved, as with a needle, the letters " H. 8., 1860," but there was no other mark on his person or cloth ing which can possibly lead to his identification. On the third finger of the left hand of another was found a plain gold ring, without, however, any special mark either on the clothes or person which could serve to mark him out to his friends. From the appearance of these two it is believed that one was the captain, and the other the mate of the t ill fated vessel. On the left fore-arm of a third of the bodies bodies were the letters "L. P. H. M." roughly pricked out in blue ink ; and on the left-for© arm of a fourth a cross resting on a heart, on which are pricked the letters "T. j " " in G er man text, the figure of a i and directly below the heart is woman dressed. Over the cross s also pricked the form of an anchor. None of the others contained any special marks whic h cou ld lead to their identi fication. All the bodies were interred in the churchyard of Holm yesterday afternoon. taken wahf toem thereeon. s friendssessTipossession of by the The rings before-mentionedProcurator-Fihscaavle, of the deceased will receive them, on it bei ng dis covered who they are.

The news of the robbery committed by the Go vernment of Mexico on the property of the bond holders placed under the security of the seal of the British Legation, and deposited in the same house, will, it may be assumed, supposing it to be confirmed, settle all doubt as to the course which our authorities will now adopt. The affair stands thus :—The Mexican debt contracted in this country amounts to £10,241,650. After many previous sacrifices the bondholders agreed in 1850 to accept the reduced rate of interest of 3 per cent., and as an inducement they received a mortgage of 25 per cent. of the import and 5 per cent. of the export duties. These payments were to be made under certain regulations in the various ports, and to be remitted to the Bank of England for distribution under the cognizance of the Mexican Financial Agency in London. Up to January, 1854, the dividends were paid by this means, but since that time the country has bean a political pande- monium, and the collections at all points have been lessened by open obstruction or covert fraud, and often suspended, in violation of every legal and international principle, on the plea of temporary exigency. Still some occasional payments were made, and about three years back a visit to Vera Cruz and Tampico by her Majesty's ship Basilisk frightened the party in possession of those ports into a recognition of their liabilities. But at this period Vera Cruz and Tampico were held by the forces of Juarez, who claims to be Constitutional President, while the Government of Mexico was that of the Ecclesiastical party, represented by Miramon, and recognized by the diplomatic repre sentatives of all the foreign Powers, Juarez, even up to the present time, never having been recog nized by any foreign Government, with the excep- tion of that of the United States. Hence, although we could compel some kind of respect to our claims at places where a naval demonstration was practi cable, it was found difficult to protect, not merely the property, but the lives, of our people resident at the capital. In this state of affairs a contin gency arose which has led to the result now an nounced. The Juarez party at Vera Cruz, while admitting their liability to pay the stipulated pro portion of the Customs' dues, urged, with perfect truth, that from the scarcity of dollars it would be almost impracticable for them to disburse the amounts in specie. They could get draughts on Mexico drawn by the Vera Cruz importers on their mercantile correspondents in that city, but this was the only shape in which they could offer payment. These bills were accordingly taken and sent to Mexico for collection in specie. The silver thus obtained was duly boxed up from time to time, each box receiving the seal of the British Legation, and being deposited in a strong room ap propriated especially for the purpose in a residence jointly occupied by Messrs. Schmidt, the bankers employed to collect the bills, and the British Mi nister. Gradually the sum accumulated to £173,000, or more than the equivalent of a half-yearly divi dend, and Mr. Whitehead, the agent of the bond holders in Mexico, was exceedingly anxious to remit it to this country. Such remittances, however, can be made only under formal escort, and during the past two or three years only two conductas have left the city of Mexico for Vera Cruz, and in neither of these cases did the British Minister think the prospect of security sufficient to warrant Mr. Whitehead in availing himself of it. That gentle man therefore very properly refused to assume the risk, seeing that if a robbery should be effected on the road the Mexican Government would say, on the one hand, that they had afforded all the pro tection in their power, while the British Minister, on the other, might point to the fact that his recom mendation had been wilfully disregarded and his protection set at nought. Thus matters remained until October last, when the atrocities of Miramon became so frightful and his disregard of all inter national reclamations so complete, that Mr. Mathew the British Minister, resolved to cease intercourse with him by withdrawing to Jalapa. The bond holders' money was then left to the protection of Mr. Glennie, the British Consul, and it was an nounced that, notwithstanding the departure of Mr. Mathew, the Mexican Government " would afford every protection to the persons and preperty of her Majesty's subjects." The next news, received about a week back, was to the effect that General Miramon had resigned, and that General Robles had succeeded to the Presidency. This personage last summer distinguished himself by taking £B,OOO in cash and bills from one of the conductas which left the city of Mexico, and there was consequently little reason to augur that he would respect either the British authorities or British property.
