FREE TRADE.--lt is truly gratifying to
perceive, that the anti monopolsts in Eng
land continue to press, with unapated spir.
it and energy, those doctrines of reason
and Justice whose principles must finally
regulate the commercial intercourse Of the
world. Under the slow but mighty work
ings of public opinion, those bloaied and
unjust systems Of monopoly which have
so long crushed the energies of the peo-
pie with their oppressive burdens, must
finally give way. And even monarchy
iiself-the royal monopoly in politics.
must ultimately yield to the force Of the
public will, enlightened and nvigoraled as
it is becoming, by the principles and truths,
as well as the blessings and benefits, Of
Republican institutions. The iniquitous
systems which have enabled the few to
control the many--by which the labor
and property OF the masses have been
made to enrich and pamper those who op,
pressed them-are totiering and gradually
disappearing before the efforts Of the long
enduring people, who have at last become
aroused TO proper appreciation Of their
wrongs. Societies, associations and leagues
have therefore been formed 10 England
and elsewhere, for the purpose Of dissem-
mating wholesome political truths, of en-
Tightening the body Of the people upon the
sub;ec Of their rights, and arousing them
to a proper sense Of their wrongs, and Of
their power 10 redress them.
Such ia the character of the Anti Corn
Law League. Mr.. Thompson, promi-
nent member Of the League, occupies the
same ground and advocates the same
principles in England, as those sustained
by the opponents Of protective tariff
or, in other words, the advocates Of free
trade---in the United States. II is impos-
siblc that the monopolists can long with
stand the truths OF this doctrine, either
there or here. Selfish ingenuity is being
driven TO its last shifts; and, finally, i,
must yield. When the great statesmen
Of England are beginning TO relax, surely
we need have no fears Of Ultimate sue.

EARTHouAKR AT MnxIco. "A Mexi-
can paper gives the following account Of
the late earthquake in that city.
Al the time we write, remarks the Siglo
Of the Sth inst, the nhabitant Of the cap
ilol OF the republic are slil under the in
huencc Of the horrors excited by the earth
quake of yesterday, the disastrous effects
Of which we are still imperfectly acquain-
ted with.
Yesterday at 80 minutes past 3 o'clock
p. NJ, the oscillations began, slight al first
and then stronger, The direction Of The
motion appeared 10 be North and South.
II lasted about Two minutes. The shocks
were terrible, nothing like them was ever
experienced before, and tho condition Of
the buildings too surely proves the absence
of all exaggeralion.
We were by chance upon the great
square at the time, and we witnessed a
spectcle not easily forgotten. In an IN
slant the multitude, but a moment proyl-
ous tranquil and lislless, were upon their
knees, praying 10 the Almighty and count
ing with anxiety the shocks which threat
ened to convert tho mos beautiful city in
the New World into vast theatre Of ru-
ns. The chains surrounding the portico
were violently agitated; the flags Of the
pavement yawned open, the trees bent
lrghtlully, the buildings and lofty edliices
oscllated to and fro; the immense arrow
which crowns he summit of the Cathedral,
vibrated with astonishing rapidity. At56
minutes past three the movement ceased.
1t is impossible yet 10 ascertain the OK.
tent of destruction. Not house or n
door but bears the marks Of this terrible
calamity. Many Of them are cracked
and greatly injured, others are totlering;
and others entirely fallen, San Lorenzo,
La Misericordl, Tompeatc, Iapo, and Vic
toriu streets and the Grand street, have
particularly suffered. The acqueducts were
broken in several places. The bridge Of
Tczontale is demolished. The Hospital
Of ST. Lazarus is in ruins, and the church.
es of San Lorenzo and San Ferdinand
greatly injured. The magnificent chapel
OF ST. Teresa no longer exists. AT the
first shock the cupola, building OF as
tonishins strngth and great beauty fell, and
was soon followed by the vault beneath
the tabernacle and the tabernacle itself
Fortunately all those in church, so
much frequented, succeeded in escaping.
AT eight o'clock last evening, seventeen
persons had been taken from the ruins oil
other buildings and carried to the Hospital.
At three quarters past six, and quar-
ter past seven, two more shocks were felt,
They we're however, slight and occasioned
nothing bula temporary renewal OF terror.
The authorities did every thing that zeal
and humanity could suggest, to carry help
to the victims, and restore the ucqueducis
which furnish water to the city.

MEsMERIsM DRNouHcED.--The Catholic
Herald, Of this city, copied lately an ella
borale article on Mesmerism, from the
London Tablet, the leading Catholic paper
in England II is from the pen OF BIZ
shop, aud perhaps foreshadows the treat
ment which this thing is to receive from
the Catholic Church.
The priest admitted the facts Of mes
merism; he deemed it folly 10 deny what
abundant testimony sustained But the in
fuence producing the phenomena, he held
was superna,ural--al emanatpg from The
power of darkness. In other words, the
facts of mesmerism, are the works OF The
Devil. The age of Materialism, he said,
had passed--that heresy had been put
down. Mesmerism was a heresy oil to-
tally different, kind--it was tho eNaggera-
tion of spiritualism. II led to pHde--vain
imaginings- -scepticism it was calculated
10 throw into the shade the holy ecsiacles
and miracles of the church, by creating
the belief that they could all be explained
from natural causes. Hence the church
was cautioned to beware Of granting 1t any
indulgence. lCmcinadh Herald
