MKx1co-The attention OF our reading world

Stephens's first work, every few months bring to
| light some new discovery or adds to our stock OF
information. From Brantz Maver's . Mexico
as it Was and Is" published by Winchester,
we derive some statistical information we DO
not remember to have seen in other works. We
seem. also, to Get better insight from it into the
structure of society as represented by the Md
ding Glasses. The Republic now contains about
100000 inhabitants. Ofthese, only l,00O,Ooo
are Whites-4,0 100000 are Indians ;-ther rest Ne
qrocs. Mes:izos, &c Out ofthese 1000, 600, only
! 6S7.74S of all classes can read and write. When
we consider that out OF this small number OF those
who can read and write only a portion OF them
are men, the rest being women and children, we
cease to wonder at the unsettled condition OF the
Republic Liberty, in such country, must have
queer definition, and the practical operation OF
Republican principles be any thing but right
In the City of Mexico alone, S,S6l were I'M
prisoned during the year l642 for crime. So
long as such a state of society exists we can eX-
pect nothing but changes and irregularities. The
administration of the Government must be weak,
and the vast resources of the country untouched
or misapplied. So we find t-with mines yield
ING twenty millions annually, to say nothing OF
lis other greater resources its debt internal and
external including loans, &c. was at the Close
of last year upwards Of SS4 :0O0,ooo. AND yet
Till 1871 the entire revenue to the Government,
with the exception of III per cent was applied
simgl, to the liquidation OF the internal debt,
amonnting to SIS, $4,000. Did the Govern
meDt merely manage the mines of the country as
thew ough, to be managed, her revenue would
amount 10 vastly more than 1t now Is from all
her resources together.
We would not have it inferred, because we
speak of the valuable statistics in Mr.. Mayer
work, that it has nothing else. 1t abounds n
thrilling incident, and most exciting tales of dan
Ger and death, related in an uncommonly graphic
manner. The description Of bull fight Is full
of life and reality.
Tie vices and faults and misery OF the Mex
can population, are related in an impartial man
ncr, while their virtues are seen and appreciated.
Much of the misery is attributed 10 the Clergy,
who have for centuries contrlved to attract the
wealth of the multitude to themselves, while the
poor have been kept in ignorance and dcbascment.
As our traveller wandcrs over the rich PLAINS, and
among the rivers of that magnificent country,
his descriptions of scenery, and climate, ill one
with regret that it should be the home of faction,
and the prey of unprinCipled men. He says, g
give Mexico as she was and Mexico as she is,
and leave it to herself to say what she will be IN
future. Education of the masses must take
place, or the republican principles she processes
will only aggravate her troubles and precipitatc
again and again those crises which exhaust her
resources and weaken her government"

The dwelling of Mr.. Archibald Mcintyre was en-
tered on the morning OF the 26th by villain, who,
finding it impossible TO make passage through the
basement climbed the lightning rod to the third
story, to the sleeping apartment, OF Mr. and Mrs.
Mcintyre In opening the inside shutters the cur
tains rusted, and awakened Mrs. Mcintyre. Says
the Citizen, She, however, did not move speak,
but kept her eyes upon the fellow until he entered

several times What do you want?' "What do yon

the matter was She replied There is a man in the

was mum, and Mr.. Mcintyre remarked that he did

gave the alarm, but finding it closed, proceeded to
the front windows and called for the Watch" Mr..
Mcintyre escaped into another room, and the thief
fearing the approach of the watch decauped taking
with him watch and chronometer. The Watch
surrounded the house and cut off all means of egress

stable fronting on Orange ST., and there, almost sub

In the confusion that followed the robber escaped

did not succeed in holding him. The watch was
found under the stable. so that the villain has re-
ceiyed small compensation for his crime.
