It has remained for New-York and Massachusetts, to abolish of the most odious and useless statutes that ever was engrafted upon the English Code.
 At the last session both have abolished imprson- ment for debt: the latter in her house of Assembly, by vote of 79 to 9. Humanity has much to rejoice for in the enlightened views of two States situated on each side of the Connecticut river, where the drowning and burning of witches, was fayorito amusement during the early part of the last century

 ' he supreme government of the state of Coahuila and Texas, has declare q that the in dviduals to whom grants of lands have been made, to establish colonies in the department ct BcXar, have no right to sell or alienate to foreigners the lands that have been assigned to them, according to the genenal laws new in force, which forbid foreigners to be pruprle- tors of lands, until they become, by natuiali- zaticn, citizens of the Mexican republic. The said government adds furthermere, that by the laws of the state more lanGs in property are not granted to the empresarios or gran tees than these allcttcd by the law of the 24th ot March 1895; and thus, after having intro duced the number of families expressed in their contract, not being allowed them the right of selling said lands unless it be to Mexi- Cans, and in no case to subjects of foreign powers. Neither have the grantees the right of transferring their contracts to Mexicans or foreigners, without the knowledge and appro- bation of the state government, and cunse- quently, the sales of lands made by the gran tees, shall be considered null and void, and all transactions made contrary to the rules above referred to.
 All of which is made public, that those in dividuals who, ignorant of the existing laws, and disposed to take an interest in said con. cern, may be cautioned against the deceit: which would be pratised on them. Matamo ras, 12th of January, 1881.
