MEXICO.

Mexican despatches, published by the New York press,
report the arrival at Mexico of the French Admiral to con-
sult with Marshal Bazaino on the relations between the
the United States, France, and the Maximilian Govern-
ment. Rumour had it that the admiral was to be followed
by a largo fleet of naval vessels ; but at the same time,
while some contended these vessels were to be used in a
manner hostile to the United States Government, other ac-
counts said they would prove to bo only transports to con-
vey the French troops from Mexico to other parts of the
American continent.

Tolucca, which had been captured by the Juarists, under
Munoz, was the ancient capital of Mexico, and contained
12,000 inhabitants, and so critical was the emergency con-
sidered that Marshal Bazaine, with all the imperial troops
at hand, had started from the city of Mexico to attempt the
recapture of the place.
There was a rumour, apparently well founded, that a
couple of valuable silver mines had fallen into the hands
of the Juarists.

SOUTHAMPTON, Wednesday.

The North German Lloyd's steamship Bremen sailed this
afternoon for New York, with the German, French, and
English mails, 68 cabin passengers, and a full cargo, in-
cluding French jewellery of the value of £5,400.

The Reciprocal Trade between the United
States and Canada.

On thO 4tli of January There wifg'a large attendance of
the members of the Board of Trado a,t Boston, Mass., to
'Mil to in address by Ex-Govepnor Puller, of Utah, on
the Reciprocity Treaty between the United States and
British North America. Charles G. Nazro, one of the Vice-
Presidents, occupied the chair.
Governor Fuller, in commencing his address, read an
extract from the annual report of the Secretary of the
Treasury in relation to the treaty, and then reviewed the
various treaties for reciprocal trade with the British Pro-
vinces from the time of the Revolution to the last.treaty in
1854, dwelling at length on the question of the fisheries,
on their importance, and giving many interesting and valu-
able statistics in relation to them, and also in regard to the
imports and exports of the Canadas. After the question
of reciprocity had been considered by each successive Ad-
ministration, finally a treaty was prepared by Lord Elgin
and William L. Marcy, and wont into effect in 1855, and
next year the Chamber of Commerce of New York peti-
tioned Congress to remove all commercial restriction on
trade between the Provinces and the United States by
admitting into the respective countries the natural produc-
tions and manufactures of each, and to open to their vessels
the coasting trade in the intervening water of each country
with all the advantages existing between adjoining States.
The sentiment of this petition, the speaker said, verified
by the experience of the last ten years, continued to be
the judgment of public men and merchants of New York,
throughout the country. From
thatand otfimaelatrhgee majority
population
became more numerous in the
country bordering on the Lakes and the St. Lawrence,
and the trade between the two countries increased from
ten to an average of twenty-three millions of dollars per
year. Many other statistics were given of the increase of
p was
d impdoerrtigv'ed exports,by both countries from the existence
of tl treaty.tproducts,
&c., going to prove the benefit
which
Taking a general view of the subject, the speaker said
although the treaty
r
mighty be oppressive in some details,
it did not appear as a whole to be one of mere favor to
Canada or injury to the United States. As Canada is not
a manufacturing country, her agricultural productions and
lumber must constitute the staple export to this country.
But even if the provinces were the sellers and we the
buyers of the same productions, it would be no more than
to exclude them from our markets by the abrogation of
the Reciprocity Treaty. We thus compel them to go
abroad by routes outside of this country to take our foreign
market away from us as well as to take away the trade of
tho eastern provinces. The trade between the United
States and Canada was not merely for the purposes of tran-
sit, but reciprocal in the proper sense of the term. The
traffic for which we negotiated in 1854 we had got pretty
much as stipulated for, and we had been greatly advan-
taged thereby. Many persons have supposed that the
reciprocity treaty was purely a commercial arrangement
between this country and Canada, yet it embraced not only
Canada, but Now Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Prince
Edward's Island, and Newfoundland. The trade with the
Provinces was very valuable, as he showed by figures of
the amounts exported and imported for several years past.
The British North American market is very important and
valuable to the United States. The trade has advanced
with rapid strides since the adoption of the Reciprocity
Treaty, and the Chamber of Commerce in New York had
declared unequivocally in favor of its continuance.
Although in some of its details it might be improved,
there was enough of advantage in it to warrant its pre-
Points. Many of the merchants
concession, and policy and duty

alike dictated that we should meet them in a corresponding
spirit. The Reciprocal Treaty was a special arrangement
which the United States and the British Possessions found
to be required by the circumstances of an extended
frontier, rich fishing grounds, and the impossibility of
defining accui ate boundaries on the sea. It had been sug-
gested that the measure of reciprocity hindered the opera-
tion of the revenue law. It had become necessary for the
Government of the United States to change its tariff and
establish a system of internal revenue which some had
supposed brought the provisions of the Reciprocity Treaty
into conflict with our legislation, and that it contravened
the power of the House of Representatives to originate
revenue bills. But this construction, the speaker thought,
was a forced one, which the framers of the Constitution
did not suspect to be possible, and it could, if it was valid,
be obviated by proper legislation. It was unwise for the
Government to levy taxes upon any producing interest.
Agriculture, manufactures, and mining, as constituting the
source of public wealth, ought not to be crippled or in any
way embarrassed, and in this respect England was far in
advance of the United States.

There has been a second great destruction of
steamboats at St. Louis by the breaking of the ice. On
the 12th the ice broke in the Missouri River, and sweeping
down into the Mississippi and past St. Louis, destroyed
eight steamers and injured many others, involving a loss of
-nearly $1,000,000. The current runs so strong and the
ice is so heavy that the frail boats are ground to poWder ;
yet there seems to be no remedy, as the same disasters
occur year after year.

Among the great national works which are ever
advancing towards completion, and which seem de-
stined never to reach their termination, are the two
Houses of Parliament. Each recess affords oppor-
tunity to Mr. Barry to add something here, to
finish something there, but there is always a vast
amount of work still to be finished. For some
years there existed a royal commission to promote
the fine arts in connection with the new buildings,
but since the death of the Prince Consort, who was
really the guiding spirit of the commission, the
labours of that body have grown small by degrees,
until at the present time the commission has ceased
to exist. The consequence is that there are large
vacant panels which were to have been filled up with
frescoes, niches destined for statues which have not
been completed, and walls and ceilings which are yet
undecorated, and which give a blank and dreary
aspect to some of the noblest apartments and cor-
ridors of the building. A quarter of a century has
now nearly elapsed since a commencement was made
with the new buildings, and the work of completion
promises to rival, in regard to time, the erection of
St. Peter's at Rome. Considering how much of
wealth and property there is in the country, how
large are its revenues, and how great are its re-
sources, it must appear strange indeed to foreigners
that a few thousands of pounds cannot be spared for
completing the greatest of our national works. The
French budget of this year contains one single item
of ilOO,OOO for repairs to cathedrals iu France; but,
if the Right Hon. W. Cowper were to propose such
a vote to the House of Commons, the indignation
of economical members would know no bounds, and
the unhappy First Commissioner would no doubt
be but too glad to withdraw the vote, and shelter
himself as best he could from the censures which
would be cast upon him. Every year some trifling
expenditure takes place in connection with the
works, and at the commencement of each session the
members have the opportunity of seeing some new
fresco or some new statue added to the decorations.
This year hon. members will find considerable addi-
tions and alterations.

In the first and foremost place they will notice
another and a most important step made in the
beautiful restored chapel of St. Stephen, in the
crypt, towards fitting it for that purpose to
which it is in every respect adapted, and appro-
priately fitted, viz., the celebration of Divine
worship for the residents and officers connected
with the Houses of Parliament. On a former oc-
casion we gave a very full description of the beauty
and decoration of this interesting gem of Gothic ar-
chitecture—the Saint Chapelle of London. We
have now to record the erection of a beautiful re-
redos in the best style of art, and in every respect
worthy of the position which it occupies. This re-
redos is of Purbeck marble, richly inlaid with
marbles of different colours. The panels are filled
with Salviati's gold mosaics. The reredos stands a
few inches from the wall, and is about seven feet in
height. The front is of alabaster, and the sides and
portions above the altar are panelled with quatrefoil
tracery, filled in with gold mosaic. At each end
there are clustered columns of polished Purbeck
marble, with carved alabaster mouldings between
the columns. Above the altar is a horizontal cor-
nice of Purbeck marble, partly gilt, and over this is
an elaborately carved brat tishing of alabaster, dis-
playing the passion flower as its principal detail.
The altar cloth is of crimson and purple velvet, or-
namented with embroidery of gold and various
colours ; the whole being in perfect harmony with
the rich decoration of the chapel, which may be
hoped will soon be used as the chapel of the New
Palace at Westminster.

The Queen's Robing-room is still incomplete, the

throne undecorated, and five only of the nine fres-
coes of Mr. Dyce, representing the story of King
Arthur, are completed. These are carefully
boarded over ; but the remaining panels are as yet
untouched. The finishings of the room are, how-
ever, now in progress, and some advance has been
made with them during the recess. The ceiling is
now richly decorated in gold and colours, light blue
predominating, but nothing has yet been done to
the walls and panelling, which call aloud for deco-
ration to correspond in some way with the ceiling.
An elaborate chimney-piece of Purbeck marble is
being fixed at the end of the room opposite the
throne.

The Royal Gallery, one of the noblest apart-
ments in the palace, is still;incomplete. On one side
of this gallery is Maclise's large fresco, 45 feet in
length and 12ft. in height, representing the meeting
of Wellington and Blucher after the battle of Water-
loo ; and on the opposite side Mr. Maclise is still at
work upon his magnificent companion fresco of the
Death of Nelson. It is proposed to place eight statues
of kings in this gallery, and a plaster cast of Charles
I. has been placed in position to test its effect.
_The Peers' corridor, which leads from the great
central hall to the House of Peers, consists of four
bays roofed with groining, and in each bay, on the
side walls, are two fine works by Mr. Cope, R.A.,
painted by the artist in fresco. Unfortunately, this
corridor, with many others in the new palace, has
hitherto been so dark that few could see and none
could appreciate the labours of the artist. Since the
dissolution, however, it hasbecome one of thelightest
and most cheerful in the building. The windows
consisted of two lights, with gothic tracery, and one
window was placed over each painting. The win-
dows have been [widened, and now consist of four
lights, filling in an effective manner the whole space
over each painting. At the same time most of the
coloured glass has been removed, and its place sup-
plied with glass of a different and lighter descrip-
tion. The improvement is so manifest that one
would think every dark corridor in the palace
should be treated in the same way, as in many cases
the windows are not large enough to allow for fogs
and the constantly-recurring density of a London
atmosphere. The Peers' corridor is now one of the
best lighted, and in consequence the most effective
part of the building.
The statue of Sir Charles Barry, one of Foley's
most successful works, has been placed at the foot
of the staircase to the committee-rooms from the
witness-hall on the principal floor. It represents
the deceased architect in a sitting posture, and
contemplating a drawing he has just completed.
The right hand holds a pencil, and the left is
extended to hold up the drawing for inspection.
The likeness is excellent, and the whole work
is an interesting and striking addition to the art
treasures accumulating in the building. During the
recess Mr. Edward Barry has altered the panelling
behind the statue so as to set it off to the best advant-
age, while not unduly interfering with the architec-
tural features of the building. A gold diaper con-
stitutes the immediate background, and over head
are the shields of King Edward the Confessor, King
William IV., and her present Majesty. Under the
shield is placed an inscription in black and red
letters on a gold ground to the effect, first, that
the place was first erected in the Reign of King
Edward the Confessor ; second, that it was de-
stroyed by fire in the reign of King William IV. ;
and third, that it was rebuilt during the reign of
her Majesty Queen Victoria, from the designs of
Sir Charles Barry, whose statue has been here
erected by public subscription. The panelling round
the statue is slightly decorated with gilding and
colour, so as to form a kind of frame enclosing the
statue, and defining the composition, which is very
effective and appropriate. The chief fault of the
site is deficiency of light, arising from the window
near it being filled with dark-coloured glass. It is
very desirable that this glass should be removed,
and its place supplied by glass of a character to
admit more light, as has been so successfully done
in the Peers' corridor.
Her Majesty will be present to open the House
on Tuesday after the swearing in of the members;
but the Robing-room and thelloyal Gallery will not
be made use of as on the occasion of the former
State openings of Parliament.

Last night, at the Society of Arts, a paper was
read by Mr. Thomas Beggs on " Dwellings for the
People—how to multiply them, and how:to improve
them." The following extracts from Mr. Beggs'
lengthy paper indicate the views he entertains on
this important subject believe, after all that
can be done by benevolent associations, or philan-
thropic even by Government loans,
that the individuals, r
defective and insufficient house
e(1
y for
accommodation will be found in giving free scope to
commercial enterprise and the employment of capi-
tal in that direction. The man who will show that
dwellings suitable to the reluirements of all classes
of the people, within the reach of their means, and
of sound and convenient construction, can be made
to pay a fair interest for the capital invested, is the
true benefactor. It will be a still greater boon to
bring the ownership of a house within the reach of
that very numerous class who have now to pay high
rents for very inconvenient accommodation. I
propose to effect this object by an extension and
further development of building societies and free-
hold land societies. The building society or free-
hold land society supplies the means by which
the humblest workmen who is sober and prudent
may become possessed of a freehold house. If a
man obtain this he will be careful of all changes
likely to affect his own possessions ; he will not be
a ready dupe of the demagogue, nor will he be the
promoter of strikes and combinations. After slip w-
ing the immense development of these institutions
Mr. Beggs demanded that the law in regard to them
should be revised and amended. What might be
suited to them when they were small friendly so-
cieties becomes a check and incumbrance when
they have become large investment societies,
with, as many of them have,' an income of
from £30,000 to £lOO,OOO per annum. My judg-
ment would be to incorporate them under the Com-
panies Act of 1862, giving them power to purchase
land, build houses, or carry out any of the purposes
for which they are embodied, on their giving the
usual guarantees. I venture to suggest that it would
be well to make it compulsory upon them to deposit
at some public office, open to general inspection, a
properly certified balance-sheet every year. I be-
lieve that this has been suggested as a proper pre-
caution in the case of all limited liability companies.
Itwas desirable to grant these societies a more simple
mode of conveyance and transfer, and the plan of
the estate might be deposited in the office established
under Lord Westbury's act, or any other properly
appointed office. With regard to London, the great
difficulty in the way was that of obtaining sites.
" To meet this difficulty we must," says the author,

" seek for compulsory powers to obtain land for
building purposes. I ask for a power vested in the
Board of Trade, the Privy Council, or any court
established by the act itself, by which any corporate
body, on giving the usual guarantees, and depositing
plans and proposals, and showing the want of
dwellings for the people, may acquire land for their
erection on the same terms that railway and dock
companies now obtain it, without the necessity of
going to Parliament in each case for a private
bill. I ask also for a power to enfranchise lease-
hold property under certain conditions, and a
power to compel the sale of such property as may
be in the hands of incapacitated persons, or
where circumstances prove the inability of the
owner to comply with the laws laid down for the
protection of the public health. I ask also that trus-
tees of charitable and ecclesiastical institutions
should be empowered to sell, exchange, or otherwise
dispose of property tied up by trust, where such may
be required for dwellings. And further that sum-
mary power should be given to the proper local
authorities to remove from out of London prisons,
workhouses, barracks, slaughterhouses, cowhonses,
gas works, and all noxious and dangerous manufac-
tories, and to place the sites at the disposal of public
companies, who would undertake to-b4dilwelliN;s
upon approved models." The paperaThro-
cated the principle which exists in Scotland, of a
man becoming the proprietor of a flat or floor of a
house. If only obstructions were removed, and fair
facilities given, the people would find plenty of means.
I have never yet known (says Mr Beggs) that a de-
parture from sound economical principles led to
satisfactory results in the long run. I believe that if
we could satisfy the public mind that suitable sites
were to be obtained, that a company might be
formed with a powerful and influential direction,
and a sum of money raised fully adequate to the re-
quirements of the case, in five years we should hear
little or nothing of over-crowding or of deficient
house accommodation.

Mr. lIAwEs, who presided over the meeting, in-
vited a discussion of the interesting paper which had
been just read.
Mr. WALE ER (of Rugby) said that while he agreed

n the greater part of the lecture, he objected to niak
Lug the very poor the owners of their own dwell

ings, as they would be sure to treat them as they
did their own persons, viz., keep them in a state of
filth and dilapidation. Besides, these dwellings would
become the object of speculation, • and would soon
pass away from the owners. He was strongly op-
posed to granting compulsory powers for the pur-
chase of sites. He had himself built cottages in the
country for about £73, which answered very well as
a commercial enterprise, and the facilities for build-
ing cheaply were greater in London than in the
country.
Mr. Alderman WATRLOw believed that nothing
was more calculated to elevate the working man in
his own estimation, and to make him a good citizen,
than to make him the owner of his own house ; and
that no such results would follow as those predicted
by Mr. IValker. The great difficulty was the ob-
taining sites, and though opposed to compulsory
powers generally, he thought them necessary where
property became a nuisance and a fever pest to the
surrounding neighbourhood. He approved of the
principle of Mr. Beggs's paper.
Mr. STUART PARKER, the chairman, and other
speakers, took part in the discussion, which was
wcund up by a vote of thanks to Mr. Beggs for his
interesting paper.

A MONOMANIAC'S DEATH: uvreux,
French gentleman, aged 54, took up his residence
some years ago at an hotel on the hill of Quisiniana, near
per-
fectly inoffensive, and passed his time n composing songs
Castellamare. Although evidently a lunatie, he was
iand music. His two fixed ideas were passing a life of un-
sullied chastity and dying without pain. It appears that
he collected every medical treatise on death by the guillo-
tine, and made up his mind that death by this instrument
his dining-
was painless. Accordingly, he constructed, in the space
which separated his sleeping apartment from
room, a guillotine on an improved principle, the axe of
which weighed above a cwt. Several fowls and cats from
the neighbourhood were missed whose lives had evidently
been victims to the preparatory experiments. Once con-
vinced of the excellence of the machine, Couvreux set
about adorning it. Two magnificent crimson curtains
formed a background, against which he erected a sort of
altar table, the steps of which he covered with black velvet;
on the table he placed a white cushion of eider-down. At
half-past 9at night, having assumed a dress of white flan-
nel, he performed the hymn to the Virgin on his organ, after
which ho mounted his scaffold, lay on his back, head resting
on the pillow, let go the pulley to which the axe was at-
tached, on which it fell and cut off the constructor's head,
which remained on the pillow separated by a few hair-
breadths from the body. Next morning the waiter of the
hotel found Couvreux in the position described; a will
lying on a centre table by which his property was to be
divided among the hotel servants.
[ADVERTISEMENT.]-110110Way'S Ointment and Pills.--
Years of hard work, in spite of endless opposition, have at
length enabled the discoverer to place his meritorious and
ever-useful remedies within the reach of all persons who
are unfortunately afflicted by bad health. External and
internal maladies are readily resisted or overcome by Hol-
loway's purifying preparations, which expel from the sys-
tem all those impurities which derange health or develope
disease. The ointment when rubbed upon the skin relieves
internal inflammations, congestions, and irregularities by
acting as a derivative and withdrawing hurtful humours.
The ointment is not only serviceable in the cure of out-
ward ailments, but when rubbed upon the skin, over any
internal organ, it acts as a derivative, relieves inflamma-
tion and congestion, and restores natural regularity to per-
turbed action. Both sexes, all ages, and every class may
advantageously use Holloway's remedies.

ment and column, which are of Cornish granite,
grey, and beautifully polished, arrived at the Read-
ing station of the Great 'Western Railway a few
weeks ago. The basement, which is a huge block,
and encased iu wood, weighs upwards of 31 tons,
and was brought up by a train from Cornwall, and
transferred from the railway to a strong carriage
supplied for the purpose by a London firm. To con-
vey this mass of stone two traction engines were en-
gaged from Messrs. Aveling and Porter, of Roches-
ter, Kent. One of these arrived in Reading on
Monday morning, and caused no small commotion
among the people in the streets through which it
passed ; the second engine was delayed several hours
at Taplow, it was stated, in consequence of some
damage to one of the tubes. In the interim, at a
somewhat late hour on Monday evening, it was
thought desirable to make a start with the one en-
gine. Accordingly, it was attached to the carriage
upon which was the stone, and the road being on an
incline, it proceeded at a steady pace from the lower
station to the Caversham-road, but the flatness of
the surface at this point proved the load to be too
heavy for the engine, and it came to a standstill.
Another effort was used to goon; the engine strained,
and actually reared up, so ponderous and heavy was
the granite block when on the straight line of road.
In the course of the night the second traction engine
arrived, and about 8 o'clock on Tuesday morning a
start was made. The soft state of the roads several
times checked the progress of the train, but the
longest delay occurred opposite the railway gates in
Friar-street, where the wheels of the carriage had
sunk several inches in the ground, and further pro-
gress for a time was impossible. Screw jacks and
other implements were brought into requisition, and
in about an hour another start was effected. The
train went capitally along the upper part of Friar-
street, and in the Market-place one engine sufficed.
A careful examination had been made of the
various culverts and bridges over which the
train would have to pass, and as the arch-
way over the Holy-brook, which passes
under some houses in High-street, was feared to be
in too weak a condition to admit of such a pressure
as the train, timbers were laid across so as to ob-
viate injury to the arch. The arrangement proved
highly successful. Some anxiety was felt with re-
gard to High-bridge, though engineers expressed
their belief, from the nature of its construction, that
it would bear any amount of weight. Then the
ascent was conceived to be toe great for a traction
engine with thirty tons' load to get up. The train,
as it went along, showed the great strain there was
upon the engines, and so slow did the pace become
that at a distance spectators imagined it never could
reach the top of the arch. However, the crown of
the bridge was reached, and the people gave a hearty
cheer as the train descended the bridge into Lon-
don-street. These were the main difficulties con-
templated, but the journey to Strathfieldsaye was
not accomplished without experiencing checks from
the wheels of the stone car sinking at places into
the ground. Mr. Aveling, jun., took charge of the
engines ; Mr. Weightman, of the Great Western
goods department, was in attendance ; and Messrs.
Freeman and Son, of Cornwall, from whose quarry
the granite was supplied, were also with the train
superintending the removal of its heavy burden.
