We learn by the St. Louis Republican of the 18th inst. that company of traders numbering forty men with len wagons, had arrived there from New Mex Ico. The trip made from Chihuahua in forty six and from Santa Fe in twenty-six days. They brought with them $50 900 in specie. There was news at the time of their departure. Intelligence had not reached there of the annexation of Texas; but independent of that measure, the people of New Mexico are said to be decidedly hostile to the Uni ted Sates and in the event oi eclaration of war by Mexico the traders of our country will be treated with very little courtesy.

EGYPTIAN AEEoDoTE.-The katshef related
 the following almost incredible anecdoie. Several of his suite, who were present, were, indeed, ready to attest the truth of il, but, whether true ase it is one which might very properly be inserted in the next edition of Munchausen's book of marvels :- "It is not long snce,'' began the katshef, 'that a man from Berbar settled here, and well known to all of us. Che morning he led his horse to the Nile to water, and fastened the rope by which he held it round his arm, and while the animal was quenchng his thirst, he kneeled down to prayer.- Al the moment when he was ing with his face npon the ground, crocodile attacked the unhappy man, swept him into the water with his tail, and swa- lowed him. The terrified horse cxerted all his strength to run away, and as the rope which was ate tached to the arm of his dead master in the stomach of the crocodile did not snaps and he could not dis engage himself from it, the afrighted animal not only pulled the crocodile itself out of the river, but dragged il over the sand to the door of hls own stable, where it soon killed by the family, who hurried to the spot, and afterwards founl the dead body of the victim entire in the belly of the horrd n,onster.-[Prince Puckler Muskau's Egypt.

By an Inspection Of lhis table Il will be seen that there is falling off in the years 1914 and lS43, as compared with the three prey ious years; at first sight this would appear indicate falling of in the amount of articles exporled-but such the case. The apparent falling off in the gross value for each of these years owing to the decreased value which the staples of the Island have realized in the countries of their consumption. No one doubts but that the products of sugar, tobacco and minerals, have very materially increased within the last two years, and therefore, to their diminished value alone is the falling of 10 be attributed
