On comparing these rates with the English Mint price of £3 178,1 00. per ounce for standard gold, it appears that gold Is about 3-10ths per cent. dearer in London than in Paris. By advices from Hamburg the price of gold is 426 per mark, and the short exchange on London is 13.61 per £1 sterling. Standard gold at the English Mint price is, therefore, about 6 -10ths per cent. dearer in London than in Hamburg. The course of exchange at New York on London for bills at 6 0 days' sight is its to 108 i per cent., which, when compared With the Mint par between the two countries, shows that the exchange is against England. But, after making allowance for loss of interest and charges of transport, the present rate leaves no profit on sending gold to the United States. The loss occasioned by the fire on board the Rio Nunez in the docks at Havre, as mentioned yesterday, although so promptly got under, amounts to about 20,000 f. for the merchandise and 12,000 f. for the vessel. The whole 1 8 covered by insurance. ANOTHER CRINOLINE ACCIDENT. Yesterday Morning a frightful accident occurred to Miss Jane Pratten, aged 17 years, who resided in the Wyndham-road, Cam berwell. It appeared , that the unfortunate young lady was in the act of reaching something on the mantel-shelf, when her dress came in contact with the fire, and she was speedily enveloped in flames. She ran into the garden, the flames Mounting high in the air. She soon fell down exhausted. tier groans brought assistance, when the fire was extin guished, and she was conveyed to St. Thomas's Hospital, 'where Mr. Phillips, house surgeon, rendered every assist ance that surgical skill could suggest, but she remains in a most precarious state. SELF-DESTRUCTION OF A YOUNG GIRL, AT HUD DERsnELD.—A girl, 12 years of age, named Mary Jane Crowther, daughter of Mr. Joel Crowther, a cloth dresser, at. Paddock, Huddersfield, had played truant from school on Tuesday, and, fearing to return home, threw herself into the canal, near the basin at Aspley. A young man, named Thomas Burns, was pasing the spot, and saw her as she was sinking for tke last time. He called for assistance, and ultimately went for a policeman. He met Sergeant Morton and Police-constable Hervin, of the borough force, and with the aid of drags they recovered the body. Life was estsnct. Mme. Libri, wife of the member of the Institute, who some years back was condemned by default, on the charge of stealing rare books and manuscripts from public libraries, has sent a petition to the Senate, praying that the condemnation may be set aside. The 15th April is a date noted for the deaths of several celetrated French women—that of the Duchess de Longueville in 1679; of. Mlle. de Fontanges in 1681, Madame de Maintenon in 1719, Madame de Caylus in 1729; and and Madame de Pompadour in 1764.

Grey and the Lord Advocate, took the oaths and his seat for Tivertm. The noble lord was received with cheers from both sides of the house. MARRIAGE WITH A DECEASEDWIFE'S SISTER. Several petitions were presented in favour of legalising marriage with a deceased wife's sister, and some to the contrary, the former conzdderably preponderating. THE MONUMENT BEFORE WESTMINSTER, SCHOOL. Colonel FRENCH asked the Chief Commissioner of Works if his attention had been directed to the monument now in progress of erection at the entrance to Westmins'er School, and inquired if he had any power to prevent such erect ion ? _ _ Mr. COWPER said that the act relating to such subjects required that before erecting statues in public places the consent of the Commissioners of the Board of Works should be consulted. This had not been done, but at the same time, as the omission was made in ignorance of the law, no opposition would be offered on the part of the Commissioners in question. Certainly if he had been consulted he would have hesitated before giving his assent to anything so incongruous as placing mediieval statues on classic columns. DOCKYARDS, Sir F. SMITH gave notice that on Tuesday next he would call the attention of the house to the subject of her Majesty's dockyards, and to move that it was not expedient to expend the whole of the money that had been voted for the purposes of the Admiralty. TRUSTEES CHARITIES BILL. On the motion for going into committee on this bill, Mr. SELWYN presented a petition from the Wesleyan body against this bill as being injurious to their interests. The hon. and learned member then moved that the bill be committed that day six months. He said that he had addressed the house at such length that he would not occupy their attention to any extent. He said that the principle on which it ap peared desirable to proceed in respect to these matters was one of compromise and conciliation. Considering the number of the Wesleyan body, he contended that the great body of the Dissenters were as much opposed to this bill as members of the Church of England, and that its supporters were to be found only amongst those political Dissenters, of whose opinions the Liberation Society was the exponent. He contended that the opera tion of the bill would be most injurious to the interests of religion, and he trusted the house would reject so objectionable a measure. He 1 4 1 e wi th house thoh thought, before they n w ro h c i e c e a d wtale measureon,.(ty passed in reference to the subject worketi. ad bill, they zhc.ll,l Mr. BEECROFT seconded the amendment, and con sidered that the subject proposed to be dealt with by thebill should be left to the decision of our lawcourts. The bill was in contravention of the intentions of these endowed chari ties, and it was in :fact a measure of spoliation, and an at tempt to sever education from religion, which would be a most perilous experiment. Mr. MELLOR supported the bill, the object of which he said was merely to render eligible persons who were fitted to discharge the duties of trustees without reference to their particular religious tenets. He said, when he introduced a bill on this subject, which was identical with the present, he was not influenced by the Liberation Society, but solely from a belief that it was carrying out fully the principle of civil and religious liberty. He denied, as had been asserted by the opp onents of tb.e bill , that its advocates were those who were indifferent to the interests of religion, or who were actuated solely by political motives. lie expressed a hope that the house would not reject a bill of this enlightened character. Mr. HARDY opposed the bill at FOMO length. Mr. DILLWYN, the mover of the bill, defended its principle. He was desirous to adopt any course calculated to effect conciliation, but he did not think the part taken by the opponents of the bill calculated to lead to that result. The bill was not one of spoliation as had bean asserted, but would allow any honour able man to discharge the duties that might be entrusted to him in regard to these charities. He pointed out the litigation that had arisen out of the present state of the law, by which Dissenters were excluded from the performance of functions for which they perfectly qualified. He, and those who agreed with him, had been accused of an aggression on the Church, which he utterly denied : and as regarded him, he asserted that, in bringing forward this bill, he was onlyacting up to his:sincere convictions. He defended also the Liberation Society from the imputations thrown on them, and contended that the Church party were the ag gressors. He was a member of the Church of England, and did not Wish to attack her temporalities, but h© considered that the Church should assume a more humble attitude and a more Christian spirit with respect to the remainder of the community. Lord R. CECIL said that the hon. member for Swansea (Mr. Dillwyn) had defended himself but not his bill, the case for which had entirely failed. He denied that the effect, of this bill would be to restore harmony in reference to these charities or be attended with the other results ascribed t 3 it. The Dissenters according to their own description were not animated by a de sire to injure the Church,' but he would ask if the conduct of Dissenters in that house justified that de scription. These gentlemen, estimable as they were, were restrained by no scruple in regard to the Church—omitted no opportunity to assail her, and to seize her property. He believed this was the general feeling of Dissenters, and argued that it could not be otherwise, as they were opposed to the Church from conviction, and, if honest, must pursue the course he had described. In his opinion, Dissenters and Roman Catholics if admitted to the trusteeship of these amities would conscientiously endeavour to colour the teaching at the schools of those foundations by their own doctrines. He described the conduct of the Liberation Society in regard to the Church as rsckless in the measures adopted and the passions aroused, and contended that the measure was in reality what it had been designated—one of spoliation. Mr. HADFIELD supported tile 'notion for going into committee. Ho denied that heartburnings would result, as had been predicted, from the operation of this bill, and referred to the Manchester Grammar School where the business had been transacted more efficiently since Dis sent ors were ad mittosl into the trusteeship. The Dissenters by their institutions were educating the country, and he referred to the fact that out of the 35,000 places of worship in the kingdom, not more than 150 or 200 rectived endowment. Dissenters did not want endowment, as it would be the greatest injury that could be inflicted on them, and he inferred that no injury could arise from their admission into these trusteeships. Mr. ADDERLEY supported the amendment, and main tained that the act introduced by Lord Cranworth had relieved Dissenters of any just ground for complaint. The primary intention of the founders of these trusts was to provide religious instruction, which would be obstructed or frustratod by this bill. He would go further, and assert that as the bill provided that the religion to be taught should be decided by the majority of trustees, it would vir tually eliminate all religious teaching from these institutions. He appealed to the Government to offer some expression of opinion on this subject, and to the house to reject a bill to which even a large number of Dissenters were opposed. This bill, though apparently very simple, was most dan gerous in its design, though he believed the hon. member who introduced it was ignorant of its effects, and he felt indebted to the Liberation Society for their attacks on the Church, for nothing was more injurious to any question than when it emanated from a league, who endeavoured by noise, money, and dictation, to accomplish their object. Mr. BALL said that, although he had previously voted for the bill, the petitions from the Dissenters considerably altered his opinion, but he would vote for going into com mittee. Mr. HE .N . LEY said that the statement of the last speaker was the strongest possible condemnation of this measure, but n otwithstanding he propos e d t o go into committee. What the hon, memer would do if the bill even got into committee was not clear. The arguments on this subject had been exhausted, and nothing new had been advanced on behalf of the bill, which in most cases was unnecessary, and in some cases would prove most injurious. He believed that the effect of the bill would be to multiply by a hundreds fold instead of to diminish legislation, and he considered great praise was due to the hon. and learned member for the university of Cambridge. Mr. BUXTON opposed the motion for going into com mittee. Mr. WHTTESIDE voted for the amendment, and con tended that the bill would revolntionise the law of evidence by introducing a principle net proved by argument, and opposed to reason and experience. The house then divided, and the numbers were— For going into committee l7l Against it Majority —29 The bill was accordingly lost. MARRIAGE LAW AMENDMENT LAW. On the motion for the second reading of this bill. Mr. BRIGHT presented a petition signed by 50 mem bers of the Corporation of Birmingham and others, in favour of legalising marriage with a deceased wife's sister. Mr. WILLIAMS presented 81 petitions from different parts of the metropolis to the same effect. Lord J. MANNERS presented petit 5... ggsrust tiny alteration in the marriage law. Other petitions pro and con were also presented. Mr. HUNT then moved the following amendment : " That, in the opinion of this house, any measure that would have the effect of placing the law of marriage, with regard to the prohibited degrees, on a different footing in different parts of the United Kingdom, would be highly in convenient." He objected to the bill, in the first place, because, if it were passed, there would be no less than three different laws relating to marriage in the United Kingdom. The effect of this would be, that a man might have two lawful wives at the same time, one in England and another in Scotland, and he cited the authority of Vice-Chancellor Sir raga Wood in support of that statement. The clause which limited the act to England was inserted merely to prevent opposition on the . part of Irish and Scotch members, and no doubt it was intended to extend it ultimately both to Scotland and Ireland. He argued that it would be more impolitic to pass a law to which a number of their countrymen were opposed on re ligious grounds. It had been stated it was unwise, when it was known a number of persons were living with their deceased wife's sister, to render such an act of concubinage by maintaining the law in its present state. But if there were anything in that argument it should apply to other cases, for there were several cohabiting who were not only in the degree of affinity but of consanguinity. He denied that this was a poor man's question, and said that in the re turn made in 1847 it was ascertained that out of 1640 persons living with their sisters-in-law, only 40 were labourers or mechanics. He disputed also the argument that the sister would be rendered a better guardian of the brother-in-law's children if the laws were altered. and contended that it would entirely change her feelings towards him and her sister. Mr. PEASE supported the bill on social and religious grounds, as well as on expediency. Mr. K. SEYMER opposed the second reading, and dwelt on the fact of the sentiments of the people of Scotland and Ireland being so adverse to the measure. He con tended also that on religious grounds the bill was objee. tionable, and that the feeling against it was stronger out of the house than in it. If passed, it would lead to an entire change in the law, and they would have to adopt the Welsh system. If they were to sanction by law everything they could not prevent, they would alter the whole morality of the country. Why, he would ask, were they called on to alter the law at the wish of a comparatively small number of their countrymen? He then proceeded to combat the other arguments in support of the bill. . Sir S. M. PET° said that all Nonconformists stated emphatically that there was nothingin Scripture or socially which should stand in the way of such marriages. He looked- upon this as a poor man's question. Amongst those who were in his employ be knew that the law was syste matically set at defiance.

Mr. LYGON said that tickets were sent to the secretary of the Marriage Law Reform Society, whose members might hays been present if they pleased. Mr. DENMAN consideredsthat it was unnecessary and unfair to keep up the present restrictions, and that the law ought to be altered. He believed there was nothing to be found in Scripture opposed to these marriages. Mr. - WHITESIDE did not believe that the bill would receive the sanction of the house. The bill excluded Scot land and Ireland, and it would he highly undesirable to have conflicting laws on marriage in a united kingdom.

In the case of " Gildea v. Gildea," which came before the Master of the Rolls, certain orders were made in which Mr. Xaverius Blake was interested, and by which he felt aggrieved. The Lord Chancellor stated that from a communication he had received within the last few days, supported by affidavit, it appeared that Mr. Blake had gone to the private residence of the Master of the Rolls with a stick or horse whip in his hand, walking up and down before the house, threatening to inflict cor poral punishment on his Honour. This conduct his .Lordship declared to be a gross violation of the law and a contempt of Court. A condi- tional order had been issued for the committal of Mr. Blake, and the Lord Chancellor called upon him to show cause why it should not be made abso lute, stating at the same time that the Master of the Rolls did not want to deprive him of his liberty, if he would undertake not to go to his house or molest him any more. Mr. Blake explained, stating that he had been badly treated by the Master, who had given out that he (Mr. Blake) was mad, and had thus made him unhappy ; that he merely called on him as a friend, a mediator—not as a judge, but as a private man, sending in his compliments, and wishing to speak to him before serving him with a summons and plaint; that the Master of the Rolls raised his umbrella to him, and threatened to give him in charge to the police. For this Mr. Blake insisted that the Lord Chancellor should require his Honour to apologise, and it was to com pel him to apologize that he went to hib house with a horsewhip. The Lord Chancellor, being very reluctant to send Mr. Blake to prison, pressed him repeatedly to give an undertaking not to repeat the offence. " I have feelings towards you," said his Lordship, " which induce me to be anxious not to deal severely with you. Will you undertake to abstain from any demonstrations of the kind ?" To this Mr. Blake replied :—" If you put it in this way I will answer your question : Will you see the Master of the Rolls and horsewhip him as you have threatened ?' " Ultimately Mr. Blake gave the required under taking, stating that " his word was as good as a thousand pound security." The conditional order was made absolute, but not to be executed un!ess the Master of the Rolls received further annoyance, Mr. Blake loudly protesting that he should be compelled to apologize for his insulting conduct. 2111 S DAY'S SHIPPING.

A large house dog, showing every mark of being mad, was seen, two days ago, running through the streets of Pont-Audemer (Eure.) In less than ten minutes it had bitten twelve dogs and a cat. Several persons, armed with different weapons, went in pursuit of the animal, which was afterwards shot in the outskirts of the town. The bitted dogs and cat were immediately put to death by order of the authorities. It was at Saint Germain-en-Laye that the Duke d'Aumalo's pamphlet was printed ; Ibe Prefect, deceived probably by its title, having granted permission for the publication. Bales of copies were forthwith forwarded to Paris, but the seizure was effected on the very day on which the sale commenced.

Ten Weeks in Japan. .B 1 , of Victoria Hon2,.'Elong. Longman. This very ac:recable and interesting voiume gives us a narrative of the writer's impressions of Japan add the Japanese, derived from a ten weeks' sojourn in the empire. He does not pretend to give " a profound or elaborate treatise, but a simple record of facts which the author witnessed during his brief visit to the country, and on which he has grounded some general observations respect ing the moral, social, and political condition of the Japanese race." For this very reason the work will be more attractive to the general reads, who may form a very good idea of the general character and habits of this singular people from its pages. Dr. Smith represents the Japanese in much the same light as other travellers have done. He speaks of them as a fine race, brave, intelligent, and eager for information, but degraded by their low tone of morals and injured in their social qualities by the system of espionage which prevails. On the occa sion of the bishop's visit of ceremony to the Governor of Nagasaki, in company with the British Consul, a cautious conversation ensued, in which the Japanese declined to give direct answers to the questions asked :-- It was not until the close that we noticed the rapid motion of pen with which a native reporter was recording our words, and passing with hurried movements from page to page. Every incident of the interview was doubtless made the subject of an official report, which was soon on its way to Yedde, 70Q miles distant. He once turned round and compared notes with a second reporter, more re tired from view, and seated behind the chair of one of the official, who acted in his turn as a secret watch or spy, and checked by the most precise details the accuracy of the other writer. This system of espionage and checks is a heavy restraint upon the public officers, spreads abroad a universal spirit of mutual distrust, sows the seeds of con spiracy and false accusation broadcast over the land, and operates of on the national character by fostering a body hypocrites and spies in every rank; of society. The Government is, indeed, by this odious system rendered almost omniscent in the details of official life. But a heavy price is paid in the universal suspicion and heartless treachery which separates man from man. The efficacy of the law in repressing crime is, how ever, very great. The trades of the chief cities are busy and active, and the number and variety of the goods offered for sale are worthy of any European mart. The first impression generally borne away from this busy scene. according to tha sense of tawdriness and want of finish; for if, on the one hand, the signs of destitution are absent, yet on the other there are no indications of wealth and luxury. Few wants, primitive habits, and rigid adherence to old forms, and the subdivision of classes, combine to withdraw the ordinary stimulants to exertion and progress. But the people, as a nation, are happy and contented If the Japanese do not enjoy the blessings of what is callel in the West constitutional freedom, and know little about theories of civil and religious liberty, they contrive to make daily life flow smoothly on the stream of time, and are content to be borne along on the tide of present sensual enjoyment and careless ease. If we could dare to exclude from our estimate all thought of an Almighty Ruler of the world, the holy purity of the Divine law, and the certainty of a judgment to come, a Christian narrator might find less difficulty in coinciding in the generally received ex pressions respecting the happy condition and external prosperity of the people of Japan. Exempt from political cares, they know few trials apart from bodily wants, and, the hard toil of labouring for the meat that perisheth. They compensate themselves for the absence of the com forts of a civilisation, to which they are as yet strangers, by helping themselves liberally to those material comforts which a little money at any time places within their reach. Old and young banish care by a plentiful intermixture of pastime in the occupations of life. The people have a great desire for information, and are willing and anxious to learn from their European visitors. As the author observes, there is great hope for a country and a race of people thus conscious of their own inferiority, and will ing to avail themselves of the instruction of strangers in remedying the defects of native science. This remerk made in speaking of the medical school near Desima,iin which Dr. Pompe, the Dutch physician attached to the factory there, gives lectures to native students and practitioners, receiving a salary from the Japanese Government for so doing. The medical pupils are boarded and lodged in the school at the expense of the Tycoon, and a class is formed in the afternoon of a numbor of local practitioners, who melee their professional visits in the morning, and afterwards avail them selves of the advantages of European instruction. A naval, school was also established under the supervision of the Dutch at the expense of the Impe rial Government. The institution has, however, been abandoned, which is the more to be regretted, as some of the pupils gave promise of great ability. One yoking man, who was quite ignorant of the Dutch language on entering, in the space of 18 months had made considerable progress in mathe matics, and mastered all the problems of trigono metry. The Japanese authorities are now relaxing a little of their religious intolerance, though they keep a strict supervision over the dis semination of books. Since the massacre and expulsion of tho Jesuite, Christianity has not been tolerated. It was not always so, how ever, judging from the story told of the Emperor Nohanan, who, when a petition demanding the expulsion of the missionaries was given him, asked how many re• ligions there were in Japan. "'Thirty-five" was the reply. "Nell, then," said the Emperor, "we may easily hear a thirty-sixth ; let the strangers dwell in peace." Of the future prospects of the people Dr. Smith speaks hopefully, recommending, like all men of sense and discernment, proper care and caution in dealing with their prejudices. He laments the overbearing and contemptuous manner so often worn by Europeans and Americans, as suming the airs of a conquering race in countries where they are scarcely tolerated. Another matter of regret is the reckless dishonesty of some traders, and the connivance of the Japanese officials, which the author truly repre sents to be a most shortsighted policy. The ex port of raw silk from Yokuhama during a certain period was reported in the commercial statistics at Shanghae as exceeding 3,000 bales, during which time the export duty paid on silk to the local custom house was officially returned as between 500 and 600 bales. Truly, such conduct is not likely to increase the Japanese love for trade, or to awaken the Government to a sense of the national value of commerce. Of the structure of the lan guage, of the climate and the earthquakes, and the manners and habits of the people copious informa tion is given. The illustrations consist of eight large coloured plates, and a map, which greatly enhance the attractions of the volume. Those who wish to gather a good general idea of the ways of the people and the conduct of the Government will very likely gain more knowledge from these simple and graphic chapters than from more abstruse and elaborate volumes. Anahuac; or, Mexico andthe Mexicans, Ancient and Modern. By Edward B. Tyler. Longman. This is a narrative of the adventures of Mr. Tyler and his friend, Mr. Christy, in Mexico during the year 1856. It would be difficult to define with any exactitude the limits of their travels, which were particularly erratic; but their line of route is marked on a sketch of the country which is appended to the work. Starting from the Havana (where the travellers first met) some insight is given (if such alas were needed) into the mode in which the Spaniards observe the Treaty with England for the suppression of the slave trade. It is well known in this country that it is but a farce for England to send squadrons to the gold coast and to the shores of Cuba, while the Spaniards, faithless to. honour and the laws of oiyilised nntiono, oneouing,e tilts Iniquitous trade. But Mr. Tylor goes further, he declares, "that from information he has received," all the officials, from the highest to the lowest, profit by it. Also that some 15,000 negroes are landed yearly. But what right have we to complain. What are the coolies and Chinese in the West Indies ? We do not admit that their treatment there is so i bad is when they get among the Spa niards or into Southern States of America ; but it is after all slavery under another name. Mr. Tylor writes with great clearness upon this subject gene rally, but we must not let him loiter on the way, and so land him at once at Vera Cruz. The first experiences of our friends could not have been very pleasant, or, on the road from the aforesaid city " en route", for the capital, they met with rather inhospitable usage. Travelling by diligence they halted for the night at the village of Huemantla Puebla, a city containing about 70,000 inhabitants; the usual halt ing place, being at that time in revolt, was besieged by the President; but among this volcanic people civil war is so common that it makes little difference to trade, excep t that ,it causes the country to be infested with bands of robbers, as the following adventure will show : At the inn, they found the t ra vellers by . the down coach, who were bewailing their hard fate, for while entering the village the whole of the luggage had been cut adrift by h i ghwaymen, and on com plaint being made at the coach office they were in formed that they might think themselves fortu nate that they had not been shot into the bargain. Here was a pleasant look out for the passengers by the up stage, and to keep up their courage they were told most fearful stories of murder, &c. : TIIE INNKEEPER. These gentlemen had indeed got off easily, as the driver said ; for the last diligence from Vera Cruz, w ith our steamboat acquaintances in it, had been stopped just out side this very town of H ua mantla as they left it before daylight in the morning. The robbers were but three, but they had plundered the unfortunate t rav ellers as effectu ally as thirty could have done. Now , all this was very pretty to he ar as a tale, but not satisfactory to travellers who were going by the same road t he next morning ; and in the disagreeable barrack-room where our beds stood in long lines, we, the nine passeng ers of the "up" diligence, held a council, standing, like Mr. Macaulay's senators, and there decided on a m ost Christian line of conduct—. that 1Y1494 ti4g WO Into 49 " Ii P QA n 5; 44 4 OA 1 1 1 1 g40 of the inevitable escopeta was poked in at our window, wa w•-add descend meekly, and at the command of " boca ~j," (mow h il.wnwards), we would humiliate ourselves with our ne:-.es in the chr., iobbc.l quietly. Having thus decided' beforehand, according to the etiquette of the road, whether we w6c to fight or submit, and being tired with a long day's journey, iNe all turned in, and were fast LElepp in a moment. • It seemed that almost directly afterwards the dirtiest man possible came round, and shook us till we were con scious ; and we washed in the customary saucers, by the light of a real, exactly what the R omans used in Pompeii, except that flaring, smoking, Spanish lamp with a beak, this is of brass, not bronze. With our eyes still half-shut we crawled into the kitchen for our morning chocolate, and demanded our bill. Such a bill I One of us, a stout Spaniard, sent for the landlord and abused him in a set speech. The "patron" divested his countenance of every trace of expression, scratched his head through his greasy nightcap, and stood listening patiently. The stout man 'grew fiercer and fiercer , and wound up witk a climax. "If we meet with the robVers," said he, rolling himself up in his great cloak, " we must tell' them that we have passed through your worship's hands, and there is none left for them." The landlord bowed gravely, saw us into the diligence, and hoped we should have a fortunate journey, and meet with no novelty on the road. A "novelty" in Spanish countries means a mis fortune. We met with no novelty, though, when we - looked out of the window in the early dawn and spied three men with muskets, following us at a short distance, we thought our time had come, and watches and valuables were plunged into boots and under seats, and through slits into the pad ding of the diligence ; but the three men came no nearer, and we supposed them to be an escort of soldiers. When it was light the difficulty was to recover the valuables—no easy matter, so securely had they been hidden. Our travellers did not show m uch pluck, but thi s is perhaps the custom in Mexico. They, however, arrived safe in due time, and the author, having given a description of the appearance of the country on his ro u t e , pl unges i n t o one of the cities of Mexico, where he enj o y s hi mse lf an d dives into the archives of the mon as t er i es, an d s h ows grea t zea l in collect ing much interesting information. He remarks on, and we rather think condemns, the het dishes of the country, but of course tastes vary in all climes. After giving an account of Old Mexico, which was destroyed at the time of the Spanish invasion under Cor tez , and th e b u ildi ng o f th e new city, he describes a cu r i ous contr i vance, to which the natives in certain localities resorted enable them to live on their own property FLOATING GARDENS. In old times, when Mexico was in the middle of PrAO: 1 al=, In innabitants were not strong enougn to hold. land on the shores, they were driven to strange shifts to get food. Among other expedients, they took to making little floating islands, which consisted of rafts of reeds and brushwood, on which they heaped mud from the shores of the lakes. On the banks of the lake of Tezcuco the mud was, at first, too full of salt and soda to be good for culti vation; but by pouring the water of the lake upon it, and letting it soak throug, they dissolved out most of the salts, and the island was fit for cultivation, and bore splen did crops of vegetables. These islands were called " chi nampas," and they were often large enough for the pro prietor to build a hut in the middle, and live in it with hie family. In later times, when the Mexicans came to be no longer afraid of their neighbours, the chinampas were not of much use ; and whea the water was drained off, and tho city stood on dry land, one would have supposed that such a troublesome and costly arrangement would have been abandoned. The Mexican, however, is hard to move from the customs of his ancestors ; and we have Humboldt's word for it, that in his time there were some of these arti ficial islands still in the lake of Chola) which the owners towed about with a rope , or pushed with a long pole. They are all gone now, at any rate, though the name of chinampa is still applied to the gardens along the canal. These gardens very much resemble the floating islands in their construction of mud, heaped on a foundation of reeds and branches •, and though they are not the real thing, and do not float, they are interesting, as the present representa tives of the famous Mexican floating gardens. They are narrow strips of land, with a frontage of four or five yards to the canal, and a depth of one hundred, or a hundred and fifty yards. Between the strips are open ditches ; and one principal occupation of the proprietor seems to be bringing up mud from the bottom of the ditch with a wooden shovel, and throwing it on the garden, in places where it has sunk. The reason of the narrowness of the strips is that he may be able to throw mud all over them from the ditches on either side. The history of Mexico is too well known for us to dilate at any length on Mr. Tyler's interesting narrative of the conquest of the country and the condition of the inhabitants before and after that event. Enough be it to say that as a proof of the evil wrought in this rich country, civilised by native genius and fast rising . into greatness, before its conquest by the Spaniards, that the consequent subjugation of the Aztic race caused native civilisation to cease to pro gress ; for although the country has many ad vantages consequent to the advance of science, yet they come from a foreign land, the native energy is. dead, and in remoter parts the people look back to the institutions of their ancestors with regret, and follow the ways of their fathers, as far as possible, with respect. Christianity has indeed superseded idolatry ; but what of that.' With a profligate priesthood, and no moral restraint, are they better than they were in their former ignor ance ? In treating on Earthquakes, &c., Mr. Tyler makes the following remark, 'which is per haps unknown to many 1— TEMPERATURE. \Vo made a few rough observations of the thermometer and barometer during our stay in Mexico.' The barometer stands at about 224 inches, and our thermometer gave the boiling point of water at 199 degrees. We could never get eggs well boiled in the high lands, and attributed this, whether rightly or not I cannot say, to the low tempera ture of boiling wa4er. We must certainly say for the author and his companion, that during a short stay they not only traversed a great extent of country, but were continually seareling for and acquiring informa tion not of a superficial order, but entering tho roughly into their subject, and getting as far as possible at the truth. Th e s il ver m i nes are de scribed, not at length, certainly, but quite enough is told to show what the responsibility of the company's Administrator is, ruling, as he does, over men little better than savages; for although there is first-rate " plant" on the ground, the workmen are Indians, who combine the qualities of thieves and indifferent labourers. The arts and sciences are not neglected, and the account of the manufacture of native knives is interesting, as is also that of other productions. Our heroes have studied the habits of the half-castes and natives ; and say that excepting among the higher classes there is an amalgamation of races and colours but half civilised. Excepting the usage which they expe rienced at the outset, they met with every kindness from the natives. It would be endless to enter into particulars of their experience in Mexican domestic economy ; and although some of the remarks ap pended, as it were, to this amusing narrative, concerning politics, may not coincide with our views, nevertheless, the history of the wanderings of Messrs. Tyler and Christy gives an excellent insight into the manners and customs of the Mexicans in 1856, together with much geological and botanical information. The work is embel lished with several good engravings, many wood cuts, and a map of the country. THIS DAY'S MARKETS. ' CORN EXCHANGE. IMPERIAL WEEKLY AVERAGES.
