TRADE BETWEEN PrTTsBURG AND MEXICO
Some idea may be formed of the extent and
character of the commercial transactions be-
tween the manufacturers of Pittsburg and the
traders of Mexico, from the statement that
one of these traders has one hundred and
eighty mules engaged in transporting goods to
Santa Fe. tits stated in the Pittsburg Nor
ming Chronicle, that within few days past;
several traders have purchased in that city
sets of harness for I72 mules, and 26 large
wagons, suitable for the trade in which they
are engaged. All these articles were paid for
in gold upon delivery, and were shipped on
board steamboats, for Fort Independence.
where the mules and other property belonging
to these traders were stationed. Having ar
rived at Santa Fe, the traders dispose of their
goods, portion of their wagons, harness, &c,
and return to Pittsburg, with but few goods
for exchange, and large amounts of specie.

Gov. CAss--rHE RIenT OF SEARCH AND THE
ALLIEs.-The London correspondent of the
New York Courier, gives the following inter
esting particulars in relation to the above sub
ject:
"No sooner had Lord Aberdeen taken his
position in relation to the "right of Search
than your intelligent and influential Minister
at this Court, set himself to work, to enlighten
the French Government and the Representa-
tives of the great Continental powers, in re-
gard to this all important matter. The truth
is. that when the Tory Ministry of England
came into power, they thought they were
compelled to yield to the abolition feeling in
England, and to follow in the footsteps of
Lord Palmerston. This being determined
upon, they next sought, by reviving nego-
citation opened in 1888, to fortify themselves
by getting Russia, Prussia, Austria and France
committed to a course of policy in regard to
the Slave Trade, which would leave her at
liberty to contend with you single handed if
you should dare to resist her claim to search
vessels sailing under the American flag.
"The moment was a critical one for your
country. The Representatives of the other
Powers willingly acceded TO the proposition of
Great Britain, as mark of confidence in the
new Tory Ministry, and without perceiving
its bearing upon the United States. Fortu-
nately for your country. Gen. Cass was quite
competent to the emergency, and acted with
an energy and promptness which demonstrate
his peculiar fitness for the station he fills. He

les of this pamphlet were forwarded to the
different members of the French Ministry.
the Chamber of Deputies and the Peers. Also
to all the Representatives of the Continental
Powers, and to every man of influence in Par
is, Berlin, Vienna, and St. Petersburg.
'sThe French, who, as you well know, are
the quickest people in the world to perceive
the bearings of any question, very promptly
! opened their eyes to the projectSof England
and the intended injustice to the United State;
by the proposed Treaty. All Paris became
awakened to the subject; and every press II

opposing It's ratification. need not tell yoI
: the result. You are advised of the action o
the Chambers on this all important subject fo
you; and thus by the timely action of an in
telligent and influential Minister at this Court
the great interests of your country, and

THRILLING STORY.

DUN
An extraordinary story is told by Captain
Wallace, of lover and his mistress, who
were saved in a miraculous manner from the
jaws of shark: ga transport, with part of
a regiment on board was sailing with a gentle
breeze along the coast Of. One of the
officers was leaning over the poop railing,
conversing with a young lady, who had inspir-
ed him with the tender passion. The fair one
was in the cabin, in the act of handing pa
per to her lover, when, overreaching herself,
she fell iato the sea, and supported By her
clothes drifted astern. The officer lost no
time in jumping in after her, and upheld her
by one arm. The sails were quickly backed,
the ship lay-to, and preparations were made
to lower boat, when, TO the dismay of all on
board, large shark appeared under the keel
of the vessel, and gliding towards his victim.
A shout of terror from the agonised specta-
tors, called the attention of the officer to the
approaching danger; he saw the monsters fear
| full length near him; he made a desperate eff
fort; plunged and splashed the water so as TO
brighten the shark, who turned round and div
ed out Of sight. The current had now carried
the officer and the lady close to the vessel
when the shark appeared a second time, and
was in the act of turning onshis back to seize
one of the hapless pair, when private of the
officers company, who was standing in the
Misunderstanding. jumped fearlessly over
; board, with a bayonet in his hand, which he
plunged into the back of the shark, which in
lstantly disappearing, the three were saved
: before he dared to make his appearance"
