PRINTING IN MEXICO. In the catalogue of
" manuscripts and printed books in the possess
sion of Obadiah Rich, ESQ.," American Consul
at Valencia, printed by order of the House of
Representatives, we notice the following -
Doctrna Christiana para los Indios"-ouarto,
Mexico, 1914, of which it is added, that it is
" the first book printed in the new world" By
this 1t appears that the art of printing was in
troduced into Spanish America at an earlier
period than has hitherto been supposed The
first printing in the British colonies was at
Cambridge, in 1889; and the first book printed
was 1.-The Psalms in Metre,' in 1910, On re-
curing to Mr. Thomas's History of Printing,
we find that, although it was ascertained " that
printing was executed both in Mexico and Pc
ru before it made its appearance in the British
North American Colonies, yet there is nonotice
OF the establishment of press at Mexico previ-
Gus to 1904. 1t was not supposed that either
had the precedence by nearly century. The
earliest printed book in Mr.. Thomas's catalooue
of Mexican books, is Martinez's History of No,v
Spain, 1906, which is the earliest among the
authorities mentioned by DR.. Robertson. In
mr. hlch1s catalogue We find Puga, Provis-
ZONES, Cedulas, &c, Neuva Espana, folio, Mex
lco' loo6." His collection appears to be extern
slve, rare, and valuable, and is offered for sale,
The subject has been referred to the Library
Committee of Congress-, and we hone that
measures will be taken to secure ii for the ben.

Mr EDIToR,-The term allotted for schools
IN many OF our country towns being very short
renders this season of the year peculiarly nra'
cious to youth In small parish within the
limits OF this county, are several schools which
have been in operation but few weeks. and
are soon to close. Picture in imagination one
OF these schools, consisting ofsixty pupils. eaoer
for the pursuit of learning, and among the elder
iy scholars an uncommon degree of ambition
seeming deeply to realize that the ACQUISITION of
science is important, and the present term for
Improvement being now nearly expired behold
them making great .exertIons, their minds ar
IDENTIFY attached to their studies, thus rendering
the task of their Instructor extremely pleasant
and all at once, hear Union Ball announced
One or two influential young men of the parish
land of whom we should expect better thingsl
come forward with their enticinr batteries and
prevail with them to quit their studies, and ioin
with them in scene of merriment. This Ball
spirit spreads like contagion through the
school, from the lad of Is to the yeriest child of
years; and this school which Just before ure-
sented an aspect so delightful, is chanoed into
a scene of universal confusion In vain does
the Instructor endeavor to fix their minds unon
study; he may hatter, may threaten, NAV ex-
postulate with tears in his eyes, but all to NO
purpose-UnlOn Ball, assembly, Dancing Par.
ty is the cry They regard neither their'own
good nor the anxiety of the Teacher, and thus
the school is ruined But this is not all even
married persons, to whom their little ones are
looking for example, and some, too, who are
elected to public trusts in town affairs, whose
conduct must have direct influence upon oul
youth, those very persons by whom we are ex
pecting our schools to bs patronized, join and
encourage these ii..aocent youth in recreation
to the neglect of their studies and the entreat
les of their teacher. This lisa scene from which
every one, who regards the welfare of society
must turn with dsmay

MANUFACTURES. The accounts from
the manufacturing districts are, for The sea
son of the year, favorable. There have
been fair number of entries for exports
of British manufactured goods to New York,
but the quantity of cotton goods for that
market diminishes sensibly; this is probably
owing to the increase of cotton manufac-
lures in Massachusetts, and other parts of
the United States. At some the cotton
mills not less than IL to 100000 yards of
cloth were produced-a large quantity, I'M
der such circumstances These mills are
said to be well managed, and the encourage
ment given by the Americans to their ma
tive manufactures is such, that it is to be
feared the United States will soon be in
dependent of this country for cotton manu-
features. An English manufacturer, who
has just returned to England from the
United States, arriving at Havre de Grace,
and proceeding to Calais by Rouen, has
supplied some interesting details of the
comparative merits of French and American
manufactures. This gentleman declares,
that at Lowell, in Massachusetts the manu-
facturers are able to produce better printed
cotton at Is Sd pr yd. than theIouen manu-
tactnrers can produce at Is Id. He declar-
ed that whilst the French are unable to
produce cotton goods so cheap as the Eng
lish by Is to 20 per cent. the Americans are
already able to compare with us in many
articles, even with SO small difference as
A to 5 per cent.

ADMINISTRATIONS RESOLVES After all the
objections which were raised, on the one hand
to legislation in any form on the subject, and
on the other to the particular terms of the reso
buttons introduced into the Horee of Represen-
tatives of this State, expressive of their conf
dence IN the present National Administration,
they were adopted after short debate by
vote OF 225 to 25, majority so large that we
hope at least that it will put an end to the cir
cuiatlon Of those impudent fictions which would
seandalize this State as partaking, in any con-
siderable degree, of the spirit of the present
opposition Even among those who voted
against the resolutions, were some who object
ed to them only as unnecessary; while there is
little probability that, in single case, the SEN
tlments of their constituents were represented
by those who voted in the negative particular
" H. by this vote, they are to be understood as
iavorlng the pretensions of the Hero of the
Hermitage.

EFFECTS OF INTEMPERANCE. The Hon. Will
liam d. James, Judge of the Court of Com
mon Pleas of South Carolina, has been remov-
ed by impeachment, having become incapaci-
tated, by habitual intemperance, for the dis
charge of his official duties. The circumstance
of removal from Office for such cause; would
appear sufficiently humiliating, without being
accompanied by public and elaborate detail
of the circumstances attending IT. "a feeble,
afflicted, and forlorn old man. with a family
dependant on his salary for support; in past
times :. faithful adherent in the good cause of
the revolution member of the Convention
which framed the Constitution of the State,
and once worthy of the honor of which he is
now deprived, is not only made to suffer the
loss of his Office, but that through the forms of
complaint, impeachment, trial, conviction and
sentence, for the crime of intoxication q Sor-
rowful-yet with resigned and patient all,
IN the midst CT the crowd assembled to hear the
Judgment of the court when asked if be had
any thing to say why it should not be pronounce
ed, he expressed his acquiesence in the Justice
Of his fate, in such moving terms, that many Of
the sternest Of his accusers and judges shed
tears. Such is the description of the scene
Could not the influence of private friendship
have induced voluntary resignation, by which
his failings might have been screened from the
gaze and comment of the world If not, we
hope, while this melancholy example stands
unparalleled in our history, it may serve as an
admonition that intemperance is demon who
will not flee, even from the abode of rank and
talents, unless resisted
