last, with a cargo of corn and peas, and

TRADE OF MEXICO.

In our late Havana papers we find a memo
rial, dated the 10Th October, 1919, address
ed by Don Pedro Del Paso Thorcoso,
President of the Chamber of Commerce Of
Vera Cruz, 10 the Viceroy of Mexico on the
subject of opening the ports of that king
dom to foreign trade. The President urges
the adoption of the measure, with the great
est earnestness, as he considers il the best
calculated to destroy the barefaced SNUG
CLING, caused by the rigorous, but useless
prohibition of certain foreign merchandise
OF the first necessity, and prevent the hume
rous frauds practiced in consequence thereof
on the Royal Treasury.
He adverts to the almost unexamp!ed adj
vancement, within few years, of the Is
land Of Cuba. which in 1862 received only
9 cargoes of European goods as its whole
supply and exported mere triie, while on
the other hand, in 1916, when free admis-
sion was given to the flags of every nation,
more than loco vessels entered the port of
Havana, and the capital employed IN that
fourishmg city alone amounted to the great
sum of 2l SOC, 900 dollars.
The sixty million of dollars calculated to
be lost annually. by the great prevalence of
the contraband trade, would, by replenish-
ishing the royal Golfers, enable the metropo-
polls tc meet its engagements, maintain its
Gecorum, and support powerful navy. He
concludes, by protesting against the existing
system OF restriction, and by pressing the
adoption of measure which alone can rem
der the American possessions valuable TO the

A BAD SPECULATION.

By letters from Londonderry, we learn
that small American vessel, drawing but
four feet water, with two hundred forty
bales of tobacco on board, appeared of In
nisbowen Head few days back, and offered
her cargo for sale at Is guineas per bale. Sc
yeral purchasers appeared in the evening, &
offered the master l2 guineas per bale tor
the whole cargo down, which ne was advls-
ed TO refuse, and that by putting to sea a.
gain, he would get the price be demanded,
which he accordingly did and had not pro.
ceeded far, when the Castlecoote, revenue
cutter, hove in sight, upon which the SNUG
gler run ashore. and the master and crew
abandoned the vessel and cargo. We TN.
derstand this little vessel and the tobacco
were valued at Philadelphia at only about
1901. although the master was offered at In
nshowen, for the tobacco alone, $3.50 gui-
meas. Upon viewing the vessel az London.

such rub, and so badly found, could ever

And the law requires that they should be
listed with the auditor of public accounts, by
the owner or his agent, under oath, on or be-
fore the LIST Of August, and the taxes paid to
the treasurer on or before the Isl day Of Ccto-
Der in each year. A failure to comply with
the law subjects the lands to triple tax, esti-
mated as of the first class, and are liable to be
sold therefor. If sold for the taxes, the owner
may redeem them within two years next after
the day sale, by paying the amount of the tri-
pie tax, together with 100 per cent and the
cost of sale.
All moneys paid at our Office in Washington
for taxes, will be deposited in the U. s. Bank
at that place, to the credit of the treasurer Of
this state, and his receipt therefor immediately
sent to the owners OF the land. All moneys
paid at our Office here for the same purpose,
will be paid 20 to the treasurer in person by
Mr.. Rockwell, who viii at the time of paying
over such money, obtain the necessary receipt
in the name of each owner for the full dis
charge OF his taxes.
Our charge for listing lands, paying the tax,
and performing all that is requisite to secure
the owner is fifty cents on each quarter Sec
ton, which sum must accompany the amount
due the state for taxes.
For information relative to our capacity and
fidelity in the prosecution Of our business, we
beg leave to refer to our numerous and re-
spectacle correspondents throughout the Unit
ed States.
All letters addressed to us, past paid, either
at Washington or this place, will receive our

a PERIODICAL paper has been
N published in Boston since April,
lo2o, exclusively devoted to the diffusion
OF musical Information.
1t embraces a general history of mu-
sic from the earliest ages, and is intend
ed 10 record the transactions OF musical
socicties-reYiew new musical works
furnish biographical memoirs of eminent
musical spondence---anec-
dotes of music and letters instructive and
interesting upon every branch OF the
musical science-.mproveme in mu-
steal instruments, and compilation OF
a register ofmusical transactions--select
poetry that may appear calculated for
musical adaptation, sc. sc.
With such intentions II is conceived
every topic OF interest, personal and
general, vocal and instrumental, will be
embraced. To what extent information
may be obtained in die mcipient stage OF
our enterprise, we will not presume to
promise, but by a clear exposition OF our
objects, we show the scope and range Ut
our intentions and while We entreat the
voluntary aid OF those who may possess
the talents we coyet, we at the same
| time engage TO omit no effort OF our own
10 fulfil expectation, we hope however
to be indebted more to the generous con-
tributions of scientific ability than TO our
own labors. We therefore conclude
with a promise, that our abilities, such
as they are, shall be exerted to their ut
most, in the service of the public, in
the support Of the profession, and in the
propagation OF all that may appear to us
to illustrate and exalt the science.
