LATER FROM MEMco.-The ship Birkenhead ar
rived at New Orleans on the 18th inst, from Vera
Cruz, brings very late dates from Mexico We copy
the following items from the Picayune:
we have before us paper containing communl-
cation addressed by Bocanegra the Mexican Minis
ter for Foreign Affairs bearing date the DIST Of July
to Gen. Thompson, the representative of our Gov
eminent which is of Importance, and we regret that
The reply OF Gen Thompson TO the same has not yet
been received, so that we might lay them before our
readers inns communication is in the nature of a
protest against the inroads mace upon New Mexico,
as IS alleged by citizens of the States of Missouri
ILLINOIS and Arkansas 1t pronounces such ncursions
made while Mexico is at peace with this country.
while an amnesty has been proclaimed between Texas
and Mexico, and negotiations are on foot to restore
amicable relations between the two Government
as being acts of hostility against Mexico and contrary
TO the rights of nations. 1t alleges that as these in
cursions are made by the suferance Of the United
states, whatever expense Mexico may incur to rel ell
them, and whatever injury may be inflicted by them
upon her cuzens, are just grounds for claims of in
demnity upon our government. Mr.. Bocanegra then
prohers such claim for indemnity in the most formal
and positive manner. We bound to say that this
communication from the Mexican Foreign Secretary,
IS written with force, strength of reasoning and spirit
we learn by our correspondence that the second pa
ment Of interest on the indemnity due this country
was made at Mexico on the goth ult. Ere this, we
presume the money has reached Vera Cruz, and that
the Nncennes is there to receive it,
From quarters entitled to our most respectful con-

POLICY OF THE GLOBE.

1t mus, be apparent TO every intelligent and re-
ecting democrat that the policy of the "Globe, Al
fully carried into effect would destroy the prospects
of any Presidential candidate who might be unfor-
tuuate to receive its support MIR. Van Buren,, II
seems us, is peculiarly unfortunate IN having at
the Seat Of Government, an organ whose course, SO
far his prospects concerned SO perfectly SUI
cdal The most ardent friends OF the Ex-Presdent,
will not contend, that, even if nominated, he can be
elected in lS4l, without the assistance OF democrats
who voted against him in 1910. IL elected at all, II
must be by the strong and united efforts OF the whole
democratic party. Without such assistance, ms nom
inaton would be worse than useless, for his cleo
ton would be IMPOSSIBLE.
But the proscrptve policy of the Globe IS not IN
furious &c Mr.. Van Buren, alone. Our remarks apply
with equal force to any other candidate who may be
nominated. Nor is the Globe destroying the pros
poets of particular candidate only, but If is placing
in jeopardy the of the entire Democratic par
ty. What is to be gained by its abuse of President
Tyler and his Cabinet? The measures of the admin
istraton, by the Globes own showing, have been
Democratic, in strict accordance with the spirit and
doctrines of the great Republican party. Then why
this ncessant abuse of men merely because they have
been placed in position carry these into
practical operation?

SUBSCRIBERS IN ARREARS.

We are greved 10 find upon an examination
OF our books, that at least half of our friends
have not RENTED US the money for the present
years subscription TO The Madisonian We
would respectfully intimate TO our patrons that
by dnt OF no ordinary exerllons, we have at
length succeeded in obtaining large list of
subscribers, which enables US TO labor with ten
Told efficiency when compared with former

additional heary expenses, that must ai,oays
be met Nth pronptitude We would also re-
mark that the greater the number Of sub
scribers we have, If they do not pay, The greater
must be our burdens and our losses SO that
those who swell our list, II they do not pay
rather cripple than assist us, for they increase
the expenses Of the establishment without add
ing 10 It's income.
But we doubt not, nay we are quite sure, our
friends, the friends Of the Administration, Of
Republican principles, will generously respond 10
this appeal. by sending us the money for the
present years subscription by mail. To each
individual sub crber s. or $40 may seem 10 be

it undoubtedly is--but only let us receive such
moons iderable sums from seven or eight thou

ANEcDoTE OF Mr. CLAY.-The following copied
from Mallory's 'Lfe and Speeches of Henry Clay,''
refutes Of the most current of the wholesale
lumnes against the great statesman:
ln the spring of 1929, we had the pleasure of be-
ing fellow passenger with Mr.. Clay from New Or
leans to Louisville. After general acquaintance
had been established among the cabin passengers, to
pass away the time more agreeably, it proposed
to have game Of cards, in which one of the num-
Der proposed to invite Mr.. Clay to join. When the
invitation given he inquired what game pro-
posed. The reply was, 'Brag.'' The sudden com.
preston of the lips, and the change from easy polite
to the dignified department of one entitled to
give advice, evinced, at once determination not to
engage inthe game. excuse me, gentlemen" said
he, 81 have not played game of any kind of hazard
for the last twelve years and take occasion to
warn you all to avoid practice destructive of good
name, and drawing after it evil consequences of in
calculabe magnitude. In earlier days it my mis-
fortune, owing to lively and ardent temperament,
to fall into this vice, and to considerable extext,
and no one can lament more sincerely the evil and
the consequences of it than do. These have fol-
lowed into nearly all the walks of life, and though
have long since abandoned the perncious practice
which led to them, it seems that they will never
abandon me-"

he late trip of the Cunard steamer Hbernia from
Halifax to liverpool, in the brefspace Of eight days
and twenty hours, is perhaps the most extraordinary
performance Of steam navigation record. The
circumstance, as may well be imagined, excited no
little attention in England. London paper has the
following remarks in relation TO the passage:
'Of all the extraordinary passages we have ever
nded as having been accomplished by the steamers
between this and America, none have equaled
that of the Hiberna. 1t is memorable feat, and
must completely set at rest the question of success
ard Of safety in the ocean steaming. We have here
steamer arriving from the shores of North America
within period Of nine days, accomplishment
scarcely to be credited, and which, when announced
by telegraph, could hardly be believed. Capt. JUDI
kns cannot but feel proud of his noble ship and her
wondrous passage-a passage, the shortest of which
had been talked of by some, but believed by few
1t cannot be other than beneficial to the important
matter of ocean steaming and we trust that if any
thing be yet wanted to settle the question of ability
and power in regard TO these vessels it has been
more than secured"

Sir-Your letter under date of the 10th inst has
been received You complain that the newspaper,
of which you are publisher, called the "Batimore
Commercial Journal and Lyfords Price Current" is
rated with letter postage at the Baltimore Post Office
On inquiry of the Postmaster of Baltimore, j find
that the regular and ordinary issue OF your paper IS
rated, it should be, with newspaper postage. In
the referred to- IT appears that your regular is
sue Of the Commercial Journal, dated 18th of Au-
gust, was duly mailed and forwarded. Ii also APP
pears, that about the same time, the Commercial
house OF Pendleton, Long & Riley, of Baltimore,
procured the printing Of handb connected with
their busIness-whch handful was placed by =
change of form upon the first page, and under the
head Of the Commercial Journal and made to bear
the date OF the regular issue of that paper of the
10Th August. The handbills thus printed in the

the matter, contained in your paper Of the 18TH the
| Messrs. feDdleon & Co to be packed direct
ed and deposited in the Baltimore Post Office for
distribution am not about TO question the proprety
of your agency in this matter. Nor do say that the
handful in question, If inserted in the regular issue
of the Commercial Journal, like other advertisements
would subject the paper TO letter postage But when
the obvious attempt is made by using a portion of
the form and types Of newspaper, the regular edi-
ton of which has been printed, to circulate in that
form handb circular which in the common
form would be subject TO letter postage, cannot but
regard the act as an attempt 10 evade the law and to
defraud the revenues Of the Department.
The Postmaster at Baltimore has, therefore done
no more than his duty in rating the handbills of
Messrs. Pendeton & CO. with letter postage.

A WIZARD IN LONDON

The Editor of the Albany Evening Journal, now
travelling IN Europe, is writing home a series of the
most interesting letters. In of his letters from

famous Wizard Of the Northu
We went last night to the Adelphi Theatre, where
'he leading attraction was the Wizard of the North
whose wonder working powers of magic if we may
Deeve the show-bills, have procured for him q com
mand TO repair to st. Petersburgh 10 exhibit before
the Emperor Nicholas, This man is indeed Wiz
ard" The delusions practised cast Monsieur Adrian
Sgnor Blitz, and all other Magcians into deep shade
Let me astonsh you with few specimens. He
came into the boxes and obtained five pound note
from one gentleman, and asked another (any one who
chose) TO write a sentence upon slip of paper The
note and paper folded so that the Wizard cou
not see either the number of the former or the SEN
sehce upon the other, and then laid upon plate

apou' 'he stage. The Wizard" then announced the
NUMBER OF the bank note, repeated the sentence
written on the slip of paper, and page returned
these articles to the owners in box which the
I" Wizard" had not touched
He then handed a box to a gentleman nearest the
Stage, and requested him to deposite any article he
chose in it, and to pass it around for similar deposi,es
by ladies' and gentlemen promiscuously he standing
upon the stage. When the depostes had been made.
he requested that the box should be placed where he
could it, with the lid down, and standing at least
sixty feet from it, he named and described with great
quesed ladies and gentlemen loan him their hand
kerchefs which thrown to him from all parts of
the Theatre. When collected and counted, to the
number of II, they were placed in large Ever, into
which servant poured large bucket of water.
Having been thoroughly saturated, the handkerchief
were rinsed and wrung, and then spread one by one

An UNEXPECTED AND PAINFUL DKATH-A Young
man named Robert Twigg died yesterday morning
under circumstances of painful nature, and which
should prove caution to others. His residence was
IN north Cove street, near Columbia On Monday he
skinned COW, which IT is supposed died from
the effects of poison He had at the time slight
sore on his hand.
On the same day his hand became inGamed, and
with his arm swelled to an enormous extent, with
excessive pain. In this condition, suffering extreme
agony, he fingered until yesterday morning, when he
died. Doctor Smith was in attendance, and advised
the amputation of the limb, but this would not be
consented TO. Various parts Of the body of the de-
ceased exhibit the effects of poisonous inocuation
