Mr. S.:cretary Canning lia#l a select party at dinner, yes-
terday, at his residence in Downing-street.
On Tuesday the Chief Magistrates of the different Po-
lice-offices made their Monthly IL ports at the Secretary of
State's Office for the flame Department, of the state of the
Police, &e. in the Metropolis.
Ms. BEAU mos T.--,We have heard from a quarter on
which we can place some reliance, that Mr. Beaumont was
cured of his delusion with respect to the conduct of Lady
Swinburne, in rather an extraerdinary mauler. Some
time after the termination of this correspondence, he met
one of his hiends' and informed him that his enemy, Lady
Swinburne, was dead. Startled by this intelligence, the
gentleman inquired from what source he derived his infor-
mation ; to this inquiry Mr. Beaumont replied, that the
same supernatural agent who had made known to him on
a former occasion the particulars of her Ladyship's conduct
hail that morning communicated the event of her death.
The friend of Mr. Beaumont, perceiving the infatuation by
which he was misled, asked him if he was willing to stake
the credit of his supernatural correspondent upon the vera-
city of the information he now communicated, and upon
being answered in the affirmative, be took him to a situa-
tion m which he pointed out to him Lady Swinburne, in a
state of perfect health, and in this way convinced him that
the iteaginary prophet was a lyingsoracle.—Leeds Men curl.
The following part of the Message of the Mexican Pre-
sident is left out in the American extracts, although it ap-
pears of considerable moment, because it gives a favour-
able picture of the financial resources of the Mexican Go-
vernment :

.....
" In the administration of salt, gunpowder, and other incomes
of the Federation, the regulations waich have been observed have
proved of such success, that alter covering the national expenses
and all the foreign debts, a stoplas for the Republic may be ex-
pected front the progressive eantiumaien of the present order of
things. I observe, with a singular satisfaction, that my prognos-
tics of January last are going to be realized iu the middle of the
present yet,.
" I have also the satisfaction to be enabled to inform the
Chambers, that the obligations entered into with foreign markets,
for Loans, are religiously complied with, down to the present day.
" In the beginning of January of the present year, it was neces-
sary to place money in London to meet the payment of dividends
of the Loan effected through the house of B. A. Goldschmidt and
Co., and a remnant occurred to the balence due. The fun's des-
tined for the April dividend are rote:ally at sea. There is sullicint
now at Vera Cruz. What is waited for the divitleed rayatle en
, the WA' July next, will be shipped without lose of ti tee, and my
satisfaction is still increased, when I ran assure the General Con.
grew% that the sums which are to conic into the public treasury by
vessels already entered into our ports, arc sufficient to fill up the
great fund wanted for the I ist two dividends of 1::24I.
" The Mexican Nat:onal Fund, had followed the fall of those of
the fitst rank in England. In the last few mouths, the fall cf every
description of Credits, without excepting the European ones, was
progressive to the moat abject degree ; the rzsult of this movement
was, that various honsea storped paflnent, and among them the
house of Goldschmidt, involving the Mexican Government in a
balance in its favour; but care has been taken to secure it, with the
assistance of the laws.
" This mercantile TerOilitioll W.lll, by some (without any reason-
able cause), attributed to some political events. The undulations of
that great market do not admit, this tittle' any other cause hut the
ex tra:Tel in ary extension of spvcalatio s, and the scarcity of inetal:ics,
which they have occasioned.
GYMNASTICS, AND THEIR INTLUENCE OX THE MIND
AND Boor CONSIDERED, &c.—An excellent little work,
under the above title, has just made its appearance, which,
from the arguments brought forward by the writer, in sup-
port of the national utility of Gymnastic Institutions, will,
we have no hesitation in saying, be the means of not only
raising these healthful exercises still higher its the estima-
tion of the public, but, at the same time, by giving a more
detailed account of' the nature of gymnastic exercises than
has hitherto appeared, do away entirely with those preju-
dices which smite persons, from their ignorance of the
benefits resulting front them, ma/ brie entertained against
these institutions gent rally. This work, in addition to an
excellently-engraved view of a Gymnasium, representing
the different gymnasts performing their various evolutions,
contains a number of practical rules relative to the health-
ful exercises of this important branch of the education of
youth. As au useful and entertaining book, we earnestly
recommend
it to thet perusal of all classes of persons desirous
ofinvigorating their constitutions, thus preserving their
health and faculties to " a good old age."
