From YucataD.

BY the arrival of the brig Spy, Cap
tain Lander, from Lerma, we are in
possession of intelligence few days
later from Campeachy. Capt. Lander
reports that he sailed from Lerma on
the 18th instant, at which time there was
a complete cessation OF hostilities be-
tween the Mexican and Yucateo forces.
The Mexican commander and his staff
had been into Campeachy frequently,
there was constant and uninterrupt-
ed intercourse between that place and
Lerma. The inhabitants of the latter
place had returned to their homes and
occupations. Gen. Ampudia was en-
barking his troops, artillery, &c. &c.
as fast as possible for Laguna. The
Spy had been engaged in his service one
trip, and when she left there were one
British, one American, and Spanish ves-
sci taking load of passengers, camp
baggage, &c. The temporary fortifca-
tions at Lerma had been destroyed.
Commodore Moore was lying off Cam
peachy, about miles from the Mexican
squadron. II was reported that the
Gov. General of Yucatan, insisted upon
the evacuation of the Island OF Carmen,
before peace could be proclaimed.-N

simple Directions for those exposed
to Cold aud Wet

10 NOtO ana N eis
The danger incident to excessive ex
posure 10 cold and wet, 10 which the la.
boring classes are liable, might be OBJ
waited by moderate attention 10 a few
simple rules, if observed faithfully, inn
mediately after such exposure. This is
a matter, which, however apparently
trivial it may appear to some, involves
much of human comfort. We have been
close observers on this subject, and
much exposed ourselves in variety Of
climates, and can therefore speak from
experience.
In the frstplacc, lay aside al boyish
apprehcnsions OF being thought oLD-wor
MANlsH, and Immediately after extreme
exposure, remove your damp clothing,
and having briskiy chafed the:skin with
coarse flannel, crash-towel, or flesh
brush, before good fire, and put on dry
clothes; refresh yourself with light
but substantial supper of soup, meat,
and vegetables, or bread crumbed into
boiled milk, with the addition of little
cayenne or black pepper, or, if you have
neither, what answers as well, red
pepper or two, thrown into the milk
when boi!ing-an article, which the
smallest patch of ground pertaining to
the poorest, should be made to bear. If
the exposure has been great, and you
are much exhausted, then retire, direct
ly after supper, to we'll prepared bed,
and our word for it, the next morning
finds you as well prepared for a good
breakfast and active duty as ever
These rules have a reference 10 summer
as well as winter, and if followed by
those in our western country, whose du-
ty calls them to new or low lands, the
more ESSENTIALS it to attend to them
closely.-Ag~iculturaIist.

The American shareholders may spare
their sympathies for the Irish repealers
if the expressions Of O'Connell may be
regarded as rejecting the sentiments Of

and commented upon letter from the
Pennsylvania Anti-Slavery Society, in
which it was stated hat Moony and 9TH

been acting and speaking in favor ofth
American system Of slavery. In his

with Gen. Duff Green, in the editorial

Unfortunately for his character, MS
