CHRONlCCE.—Notwithstanding the low price of
our manufactured goods, foreigners still keep al:id from
our markett, and our export trade with the Continent does
not much improve. Oar prohibitory laws have compelled
foreigners to become manufacturers themselves, and to de-
pend upon their home supply. The truth of this must
force itself upon the notice of our legislators, and show
them the necessity of providing new markets to support
the courage of our artisans, and give a fresh impetus to
British enterprise. Money is abundant, but it is from the
dullness of trade, and capitalists do not feel disposed to
make investments until they can judge•with greater cer-
tainly r,f the coming harvest.
The Bank of England have been again sEllirl secu-
rities, which, in conjunction with the other causes above
alluded to, 'may account for the dullness in the Engjish
Stock Market.

tlEßALD.—M.rehants will be glad to learn that the
Mexican Government had it in contemplation to abolish
the 15 per cent. additional duty on goods for internal
transit and consumption which had been so much com-
plained of, and in effect had contributed to paralyse the -
trade and diminish the receipts of the custom-houses
at the ports. An amount of certificates given here
in exchange for coupcns, in pursuance of the con,
version of the debt effected by the agents, had been
received and presented at the custom-houses of
Vera Cruz and Tampico, equal to nearly 100,0001.,
nearly the whole of which had been taken in and
absorbed in payment of customs duties. Hereafter, ac-
cording to previous agreement, and to avoid the inconve-
niences of not being able to make remittances as provision
far the dividends here, from the uncertainty of the propor-
tion which might be wanted of the custom-house rccetpts,
set apart for the purpose, to meet the admission of their
certificates in Mexico, their emission is to cease, and the
remittances are to be made direct, which will tend bene-
ficially to simplify the business for all parties. The Mex-
ican Governnaent has so far fulfilled its late engagements
with honour and punctuality, and so long as those at pre-
sent at the head of aff ars remain there is every reasonable
guttr,lntce for the public confidence in future.

(From the Morning Po t.)
.t is urged that the public-houses are epen on Sundays,
except during the hours of divine servic-, and that it is a
hatdship not to allow people into the National G 1
llerv,
when they arc allowed to buy and drink intoxicatingliquors
in taverns. It is a strange argument that, because one
bad thing is allowed, another of at least very doubtful good
should be allowed also. If the inequality of the circum-
stance of ginshops and of the National Gallery of pictures
be a hardship, let Mr. Flume move to shut up all giusbops
from Saturday night till Monday morning. /Co do this
would, we think, b 3 to t ffect a real good for the tvcriOng
classes. It would not, however, please them—quite the
contrary; and we very much suspect that to please certain
fanciful theorists who take a political lead among the work-
ing people, rather than to do these people any real good,
is the object of such projectors as Mr. flume. Among
the many topsy-turvy symptoms of the present time, few
are more palpable than the real neglect of the substantial
interests. of the British common people, and the affected
earnestness about their recreations anti amusements.
( From the Morning Herald.)
The third leading of the Ecclesiastical Duties and Re-
venues Bill was moved, last night, by Lord John Russell.
A long discussion followed, in the course of which scseral
amendments were proposed by Sit Robert luglis, by Mr.
Goulhurn, by Mr. Arland, and by Sir Thomas Arland.
Those amendinJits tended all, more or less,.to limit the
mischievous operation of the measure ; but no patching nor
tinkering could suffice to neutralise the pernicious nature
of the principles on which the Bill is founded. Those
principles arc, as Sir Robert Inglis well observed, entitled
principles of appropriation :—tbey are, in truth, princit,-.les
of spoliation. Mr. Hume admiAed the true tendency
and character of the measure, when he declared that his
only objection to it, consisted in the fact, that it did not
go far enough in placing ecclesiastical property at the
disposal of Government. Ecclesiastical property, accord-
ing to Mr. flume and reasoners of his school, is public
property. This assumption lies at the bottom of all mo-
dern 4.re:forms" of the Church :—all such " reforms,"
therefore, are to be resisted at all hazards, and to the ut-
termost. It is utterly untrue, that Chutch property is
public property. Church property, undoubtedly, stands to
the public in a relation different in some respects from that
in which private property stands; but Church property as
little belongs to the public, as do the possessions of any in-
dividual member of the community. The administrators
of public affairs are, ex.dficio, trustees for the right ma-
nagement of Church property ; but trusteeship in the
case of the State, no more than in the case of private in-
dividuals, conveys to the trustee any- right of absolute
,erty.

POST.—The acTclinEs from Mexico report a Llling off
in the returns of the United Mexican Mines, the weekly
value of which, deducting expenses, being reduced to
$l,BOO. Mr. Schoolx-cd, the manager, expected, how-
ever, to make a remittance .by time next packet of from
$25,000 to $30,000 on account of the mine. The Mal-
ludo mine, formerly belonging to the Anglo-Mexican Com-
pany, and adjoining the property of the United Mexican.;
is described as being exceedinly rich; It is to be re-
gretted, therefore, that the works should have been trans-
ferred by the Anglo-Mexican Company to its original pro-
prietors. By her M4esty's ship Fly, the arrival of. which
was noticed by us on Saturday, the local director of the
Imperial 81-, zilian Mining Company writes word that the
Legislature of Rio Janeiro have, by, a large majority,
agreed to reduce the duty on the metals produced to 10
per cent. on the value. Formerly the rate payable by
this company was 25 per cent., which, even during periods
of the greatest success, was found to be a serious draw.
back upon the profits of the concern. Looking to the
present state of the finances of the Brazilian empire, this
must be regarded, on the whole, as a I.beral concession to
the English company. Yet something of the sort was
to be expected, as the last loan was contracted by the
chairman, or one of the principal directors of the
Company ( Mr. Goldsmid), and it was at the time
distinctly understood ahLt relief was to be afforded of the
nature pointed out. Information has been also received
that a sum of twenty thousand pounds left for nearly twenty
years as a deposit ar guarantee for the faithful discharge of
the engagements of the said company towards the Rio
Government, is to be refunded. It is not stated whether
or not interest will be allowed on this large deposit, but
endeavours will not,' we arc told, be spared by the agent
abroad, Mr. Duvalle, to obtain it. The workings of the
mine continue favourable. The last report gives about
901bs of gold in thirteen days. The price of the shares
here has undergone no change, being quoted at 16 to 18

He cocked his gun, and commanded him to stand, or
he would blow out his brains. Adrian threw up his

him in this position until Dr. hi'Leod ran down to the

When he rosa the seenad time, Dr. M'Leod dis-
