THE COMMERCIAL TREATY WITH FRANCE.—A,
public meeting of silk ribbon manufacturers, Weavers,
tradesmen, and persons interested in the prosperity of Co-
♦entry, was held in St. Mary's Hall last Wednesday even-
ing, and it was resolved that a petition should be presented
against the treaty in relation to silks.

A VERY ROMANTIC STORY.—A newspaper pub-
lished at Coloma, Mexico, on the 24th of October, tells the
following frightful story, and calls upon the public to punish
the criminals c—When General Pueblita entered the town
of Ayo, in Septomber last, he exacted a forced loan from the
people, and a share of it fell upon the curate of the place.
The curate acted as though he would pay, but ho did not
make his appearance at the point designated for payment,
and General Pueblita ordered him to be arrested. A party
of men went to his dwelling and knocked at the doer. There
was no answer, and they broke in. They found no one in
the house, and were about to leave it, when they heard a
frightful voice proceeding from the ground, saying, " I am
hungry !" The officer in command went back to General
Pueblita, and told him about the voice. The General ap•
pointed a commission to examine the house. This com-
mission went to the curate's dwelling, and, after a careful
examination, they feund a movable stone in the floor, and
under this was a staircase loading down to a vault, which
was entirely dark, and had no connexion with the air, save
the stairoase, and a small hole that served as a ventilator.
In this vault they found some books, a few articles of furni-
ture, and a woman, who had been shut up there for eighteen
years. She was taken to General Pueblita's quarters. When
brought into the light, where she saw a number of persons,
she fainted. After she had returned to her senses a thou-
sand questions were asked her, to which she replied only
that she had been buried in the vault for eighteen years,
without going out for a moment ; that she had been
married, and had children by her husband, but she
knew nothing of their fate; that, while imprisoned in the
vault,

saying this much she became obstinately silent. While this
was passing a sergeant of the Pueblita brigade then present
discovered that this woman was his mother, and she re-
cognised him as her son and embraced him. The son then
ran for his father, who came and recognised his wife. The
husband 15 :years ago was imprisoned three years on the
charge of having murdered his wife, this woman.—St. Louis
