may hourly expect one from Oporto and Lisbon.

HALF-PAST ONE.
We have received the following letter from Mexico,
dated 29th June:—

" The Congress have declared six years banishment to
about 80 individuals if the first consideration and in-
fluence, concerned in the plan of the late revolution, which
is now carrying into effect. The present Government is
supporting the established Federal Constitution, and en-
tertain the fullest confidence and success. Public opinion
is the same, tranquillity has been preserved, and coi.fi-
deuce in the security of persons and property respect'd.
The revolutionary fords are calculated not to exceed
1,500 men, and not ene of the States has as yet declared
in their favour. Custom-house debentures, tA hich were
admitted for 40 per cent, of duties, have lately been sold
at 35 to 37 per cent, discount. Nothing new about a
National Bank or National Stock. The remittances
to Europe for the dividends on the loans can-
not be expected to be made at present, though
there is touch truth about the expulsion of the Spa.
niards. Without exception, it does not seem probable
that the Government will adopt so general a m,asur,
The cholera has made gre ravv4es in Tampico. Another
conductor was to leave Zacatecas on the 25th illay, and
anoth-r at the end of this month."

A repnrt prevailed in general in the city that one
of rbe Margate steamers with upwards of 200 passengers
had been lost in Verne Bay. We have made inquiries and
find the report untrue. Trn steamers have got safe into
Margate and Ramsgate during the storm.

On Friday night, and throughout the whole
of S ourtlay, the me'ropolis was visited by a violent
storm of wind and rain from the north-west. The trees
in the parks were almost denuded, and their foliage
scattered about. In the Buckingham Palace gardens a
tall tree was laid prostrate, bringing with it a portion of
the wall, and choking up the passage of the Pimlico road
for some time. In every part of the town the tiles and
chimney-pots were flying, and in some instances were
attended with dangerous consequences. The wind, as the
sailors say, blew all the wa er out of the Thames, and
persons were fording the river at \'Vaterloo-bridg.•. The
tile has not been so low for a great many y ears. The
shoal just below London Bridge was high out of the water,
and the Margate and Gravesend steam-boats were for a
short time hard aground, and unable to get away. The
return of the tide was truly remarkable, for without any
previons imiication whatever (for it appeared to be run•
ning down with great velocity the instant before) it rose
at once, nearly a foot, rolling in like a wave, and in less
than three minutes lifer the persons on the shoals took to
their boats the shoals were under water, and the steam-
boats afloat and under way.

The public ought to be upon their guard
against short weight, which we have good re 13011 to know
is extremely prevalent amongst retail dealers in all the
necessaries of life. A gentleman bought a salmon the
other day, weighing, as the fishmonger represented,
eleven pounds, for which be immediately paid, and de-
sired that it might he kept cool until the next day, being
:.:unday. When the salmon was brought home, it was
weighed by the purchaser, who found a deficiency of more
than two pounds. It is true that the extra charge Ras
returned on remonstrance ; but if the gentleman had not
been in possession of the requisite check weights and
!mato, the imposition would hare remained undetected.
