MEXICAN OU7RAGE.

The following tale is calculated to open the eyes
of the American people to the style of treatment
to which even the citizens of the great Republic are
liable from their bastard sister of Mexico. We
alluded to the circumstance in our last issue :
" On Tuesday evening, April 21, while promenad-
ing the principal streets of Monterey, six American
gentlemen and merchants of that city were arrested
by a squad of the city police, by order of the Secre-
tary of GoverJor Trevino, and were delivered to
the captain of police and impiisoued in a cala-
boose. The cell into which they were thrust was
low, filthy, and contained already about seventy
of the very scum and dregs of Mexican lepro
criminals and vagabonds. They passed a miser-
ably uncomfortable night. On the morning of the
22d instant two of the six American gentlemen
were ordered by the police to carry out and
empty a tub containing the accumulated filth and
offal of the preceding twenty-four hours. On
refusing to comply with the command, the
jailor directed a convicted felon to lash them
with a cow-hide, which at the same time he,
the. jailor, handed him. This felon obeyed with
a delight and vim. Ile struck one of the two
gentlemen several hard blows in quick succession,
cutting through his clothes and lacerating his
body until blood flowed. Finding that continued
resistance to the petty despot and tyrant would
result in a serious manner, perhaps death, then
and there the gentleman took the tub from the cell
into the yard and emptied it, thus performing a
disgusting menial job. The whole six were then
forced to take brooms and clean the cell and court-
yard of the prison. One of the gentlemen dis-
played a hesitancy to comply with the cleaning
operation, whereupon the jailor beat him unmerci-
fully, the marks of which he will carry to his grave.
Every insult, abuse, epithet, and cowardly treat-
ment were heaped upon these gentlemen that low-
bred, villainous Mexicans could think of or invent.
On the evening of the 22d these gentlemen were
taken before the alcalde. This dignified personage
with great point pronounced the sentence—a fine
of ten dollars each ; and, without excuse or pallia-
tion, insisted on the payment."
The reported flight of Juarez from Mexico is
officially denied. The revolution at the capital had
been put down, Martinez had tendered his alle-
giance to the Government, and Guerero and Sinaloa
were tranquil.

It is stated that Count de Nieuwerkerke, Super-
intendent of the Fine Arts, has been stopped by a
band of robbers in the mountains of Spain, and
stripped by them of everything he had about him.
The 500 painters, who all working in the hope of
having their pictures purchased by the French Go-
vernment, at once set themselves to work to depict
the scene for the next exhibition.

Dangers. - Surrounded on all sides by the causes of dis-
ease man must keep up a constant watch if he would pre-
serve or recover his health. These purifying pills present
the most certain and effectual means of removing all ob-
noxious matters from the blood at the same time that they
regulate any disordered actions which their presence has
induced. ihe harmless and strengthening balsams of
which Holloway's pills aro composed render them pecu-
liarly well adapted for the young and delicate, who can
with impunity bear only tender treatment. In the nursery
this mild aperient and universal purifier should always be
at hand in rising families. Attention to Holloway's direc-
tions, and their early application, will prevent much future
evil.

The following litter, iivil!c`i was written by Mr. Cobden
a few days pre r!ous to his death, has been sent by Mr%
I'. B. Potter, M.P., to the Times:--
" 23, Suffolk-street, Pall-mall, March 22,1865,
"My dear Potter,—l return Mill's letter. Everrhing
from him is entitled to respectful consideration
,t* but I
confess, after the best attention to the proposed representa.
tion of minorities which I can give it, I am so stupid as to fan
to see its merits. He speaks of 50,000 electors having tOi
elect five members, and that 30,000 mayelect them all, and
to obviate this he would give the 20,000 minority two votes,
But I would give only one vote to each elector, and one re-
presentative to each constituency. Instead of the 50,000
returning five in a lump, I would have five constituencies of,
10,000, each returning one member. Thus, if the metropolis,
for example, were entillcd with a fair distribution of elec.
toral power to forty votes, I would divide it into forty
districts or wards, each to return one member, and in this
way every class and every variety of opinion would have A
Assume of a fairLeprceetifation. , Beigravia,-Marylebone„
St. James's, St. Whitechapel, Spitalfields,
would each and all have their members. I don't knom"
any better plan for giving all opinions a chance of being
heard ; and, after all, -it is opinions that are to be repre.
sented. If the minority have a faith that their opinions
and not those of the majority are the true ones, then let
them agitate and discuss until their principles are ist
the ascendant. This is the motive for political
action and the healthy agitation of public life. Ido
not like to recognise the necessity of dealing with
working men as a class in an extension of the franchise.
The small shopkeeper and the artisan of the towns are
socially on a level. The subject is, however, too large for
a sheet of notepaper.—Believe me, yours very truly,
" Mr. Thomas B. Potter." " RICHARD COBDEN.
