IMPORTANT FROM MEXICO.

FROM YUCATAN.-By an arrival ct Cam
peachy advices to the llth inst. have been
received by the New Orleans papers. The
intelligence is important. The Mexican
expedition which sailed from Vera Cruz
the latter part of August, consisting Of the
schr. Liberty, New York built, the City
of, Dublin steamer, a man Of war brig, with
the new iron steamer Guadaloupe, and two
barks and two schrs. as transports, convey
ing a force Of about 1000 men reached
Laguira early in September, and landed
Il or 1900 men. the Yucatan fierce at
Laguira at the time consisted oil $50 men.
an armed brig and two armed schoohers,
who being summoned by the Mexrcans sur
rendered without The least resistance or
asking any terms. The Mexican COM
mander afterwards offered such of the
prisoners, as desired it, free passage to
Campeachy, where the whole body Of them
landed on the 10th.
The result seems to have deprived Yucca
tan Of her entire naval force, and given to
Mexico the full command of the coast. -
The Gaedaloupe steamer had returned to
Vera Cruz, was said, for the purpose
conveying another fleet Of transports with
men and stores. The Yucatans in The
mean time, it is understood, do'not despond
but feel confident of icing able 10 expeI
the enemy, and are calling ali lhe energies
Of the country into immediate requlsl'lon
for that object. This is the confidential
intelligence we receive from C@mrpeachy.
We learn that the Mcxicaa vessels are
principally manned by English or Ameri-
can sailors GOO having arrived recently
and that the officers are all English. The
sailors shipped in England were paid in
advance. and the government had pledged
itself to keep them so paid.
By the same arrival we have some late
items from the Mexican capitol.
1t has been officially ordered that II
each department a junto shall be organize

An important treaty has been concluded
with the numerous tribe Of Mezcalera In

MAIZE SUGAR.

Mr.. EDIToR:-I hasten to say briefly,
(hoping to be in season for the Oct. num-
Der Of your paper) that have made about
six gallons Of maize molasses, from what
was Judged, not measured, barrel Of ex-
pressed juice of the stalks. find there is
no difficulty whatever in clarifying the
Juice with hidra,e of lime, sklmmiHg until
it boiIs, and then straining through flannel.
An immense quantity Of extractve matter
in the form of fawn colored precipitate.
is thus speedily got rid of, and the evapo-
ration is then conducted in the same man
ner as making maple sugar.
There are two other mills in this neigh
borhood. At one Of them 60 gallons Of
molasses, have been made from an acre.
The other, like mine, has but just common
ced operations. am sure the mills will
not be idle a day while the season lasts
Sundays excepted for there is but one
feeling on the subject in these parts-all
like the product as well as tine West Ind
ia m.lasses, and the farmers are resolved
not te be cdned any more.
In regard TO the crystalizabilfty (if
may coin the term) Of the syrup. enter
tain 10 scruples, when the evaporation is
conducted properly and carried to the pro-
per point. shall experiment in sundry
ways with this new and highly promising
product, and hope others will do the same,
and send their results 70 you for publica-
ton. Yours,

that smile her face reawakened to it's for
mer loneliness, and seldom had he who now
gazed breathlessiy upon her looked on such
spiritual and incompatible beauty. The
spacious forehead and the noble con-
tour, still visible, Of the emaciated, bespoke
genius impressed upon tablet all fcmin-
hands, and even in the slight movement OF
her graceful neck, there was something
that still breathed Of surprising elegance
1t was the shadowy wreck of no ordinary
mortal passing away-humble as were the
surroundings, and strange rs had been his
summons to her bedside.
"And this is Byron" she said at last.
in voice bewildering sweet even through
its weakness. "My lord 1 could rot die
without seeing you-without relieving my
soul Of a mission with which it had been
long burthened. Come nearer-for have
no time left for ceremony, and must say
what have to say-and die
She hesitated, and as Byron took the
thin hand she held to him, she looked stea-
Oily upon his noble countenance.
" Beautiful - she said; beautiful as
the dream Of him which has so long haun-
ted me !-tlto iptellect and the person Of a
spirit Of light Pardon me, my lord Par
don me TINT at & moment so important to
Yourself, the remembrance Of an earthly
feeling has been betrayed into expression. -
She paused a moment, and the bright
color that had shot through her cheek and
brow, faded again, and her ceuntenance
resumed its heavenly serenity.
81 am near enough to DEATH" she re-
sumed-" near enough to point you almo st
to heaven from where | am; and it is on
the bidding Of God-to implore YOU to pre-
pare for judgment. Oh my lord! with your
wondrouS gifts, be not lost DO not, for
tho poor pleasures of a world like this. lose
an eterd!ty in which your great mind will
outs'rip the intelligence of angels Meas
ure this thought scan the worth o. angel
lie bliss with the intellect which has rang
ed so gloriously through the universe; do
not on this one momen,ous subject Of hu-
man interest-on this alone be not short
sighted -
!" What shaIlI do p suddenly burst from
Byron's lips in a tone Of agony. But with
an'el1orl as II Struggling with death pang,
he again drew up his form and resumed
the marble ealmness of his counenance.
The dying girl, meantime, seemed to
have lost herself in prayer. With her
wasted hands clasped on her bosom, and
her eyes turned upwards, the slight motion
Of her lips betrayed to those around her
that she was pleading at the throne of mer-
cy. The physician creptclose to her bed
side, bar with his hard in his breast and
his head bowed, he seemed but watching
for the moment when the spirit should take
It's fight.
She suddenly raised herself on the pillow.
Her long brown tresses fell over her shout
dcrs, and brightness unnatural and al
most fearful kindred in her eyes. She
seemed endeavoring to speak, and gaz"d
steadfastly at Byron. Slowly then, and
TRANQUILITY, she sank back again upon her
pillow, and rs her hands fell apart, and her
eyelids cropped, she murmured 'Come to
Heaven!" and the stiffness Of death was in
the room. The spirit had fled.
