1t would seem that no foreign diplomatic agent
travels in Mexico without being robbed. The
object of this proceeding is thus stated by d
Washington correspondent of the New York
Commercial Advertiser:
"We were more amused than surprised here at
the story that MIR. Elliot, the British Charge d.:
Afaires, was robbed on his way to Mexico from
Vera Cruz. Mexican robberies of public ftncs
lionaries are of old date, and always of a myste-
rious character. Robbery is part of the sys.
tenn of police in Mexico, and public men have
learned to understand it. The object Of the rob-
berries is 10 get possession, for the Government,
Of the private papers, political objects, and in.
structions of the functionaty, and the Governs
ment invariably makes restitution of the money
and valUables taken by the robbers, if they un.
warily or Of necessity take them.
"Gen. thompson was robbed on his way to
Mexico. The Government Immediately offered
him ample amends, but his papers were not res
turned. When Mr.. Shannon went out, as Min.
lister ,,he was warned that he would be robbed be-
tween Vera Cruz and Mexico, and advised to
take no money with him, but to procure bill, as
can always be done at Vera Cruz, on Mexico
He did SO, and was duly robbed. The Govern
ment offered its coincidence, and rendered indem.
Indication to large amount.
'.When Mr.: Gushing passed through Mexico,
on his return from China he was stopped by a
troop of half military, half savage looking fels
lows, who demanded his keys, &c. THEY overI
hauled every thing. His trunks with specie and
with public papers were examined and locked up
again. A box with papers was taken, and he
was then told TO proceed.
"Commodofe Porter, when they attempted TO
rob him, on his return from Mexico, having had
some difficulties with that Government, and be-
ing IN no humol for the operation, wheeled his
horse upon the captain Of the troop and shot him
dead, wherenpon the rest took to flight
"Cases have been known wherein men Of inn
portaDce have been robbed, according TO order;
and upon their arrival at Mexico, complained Of
their large losses, and the Government, though
we'll knowing that the loss was hiHing, have re-
stored the SUN claimed. If the Government
wishes to gain man, who has lost but twenty
doub looDs, they say, you must have lost sixteen
hundred douboons. and if he assents they pay
him accordingly. do not intimate that this has
been the case with any of our func,ionaries."

A method is said to have been discovered in
England, whereby aoood Can be rendered as hard
and durable as iron stone and 1t is further as.
serted that the experiment has been tried with so
much success that wooden rails, thus prepared,
have been successfully substituted for the iron
rails in common use.--The cost Of heavy iron
rails, of the most approved kind, is said to be in
EDglan not far from $1,000 per mile-rails made
by the new method it is stated can be laid down
for $500 per mile.
The annual report of the Patent office, for the
last year, makes mention Of the discovery as one
likely to be Of vast importance to this country.
The wooden rails have been used on the Dover
Railroad, and others laid down at Vauxhail, for
experiment, have endured years travel without
any perceptble injury. The process of preparing
the timber is simply this -
"The pieces, after having been fitted by the
carpenter and joiner for their places are ntrodu-
ced into an immense iron cylinder, which is ther
exhausted by an air pump. A solution Of the
sulphate Of iron is then injected, which immedi
ately enters into the exhausted pores Of the wood
The wood is then withdrawn, and placed agar
in similar vacuum, in solution of muriate o
lime, which coming into contact with the sui
plate of iron within the wood, decomposes it, ant
forms an insolube sulphae Of lime, or gypsum
within the wood and the muriate of iron, tn,
other new compound, goes about lis business. ST
the wood becomes thoroughly impregnated will
stone as hard as a rock, and yet is as tough as i
was before"

THE WHEAT CROP.

The last Rockingham Register, speaking OF
tho late severe frosts, says-'We learn that in
soma parts of this county, the wheat crop, which
a few weeks ago presented such cheering pros.
pect Of an abundant harvest. has been almost to.
tally destroyed"
The damage done TO the wheat by the frost in
Augusta, we understand is much more extensive
than was at first supposed PARTICULARLY along the
water-courses.
The Columbus <Ohio) Journal of the a9,h ult.
says it is now almost certain that the wheat crop
in that section OF the State, and north 10 the
Lakes, is injured beyond recovery by the frost
and drought.-rhe crop cannot, under any cir
cumstances, be more than an average one. The
corn is said to be very yellow and sickly-such
as was not destroyed by the frost.
1t is said that the wheat crop OF Indiana was
seriously and extensively injured by frosts about
the 10Th of May.
The frost in Illinois has also been severe-one
gentleman in the neighborhood of Sangamo, who
has six hundred acres ia wheat, is likely to lose
all but about fifty acres.
We have likewise similar accounts from nor
lions Of Pennsylvania.

1t is stated that Gen. Houston, Ex-President
of Texas, made speech in New Orleans on the
2Sth ult. in which he remarked that nearly every
man in Texas was in favor of Annexation. He
said he had been present at many public meet
ings, and that when the question OF Annexation
was put, negative voice was rarely heard. His
own course on the subject, he admitted had been
rather in the eoqaettisii vein, although all the
the time he sincerely desired annexation. He
said farther, that President Jones was in favor of
the measure, and that he would do every thing
in his power to accomplish the wishes of the
people. There is certainly some mystery about
the conduct of President Jones. The mission to
Mexico, under the auspices of the British Go
vernment, to procure the acknowledgment of the
Independence of Texas, and the despatching his
Secretary of State, Mr.. Ashbel Smith, to Eng
land and France, in such hot haste, look some-
what suspicious.
