The Mexican government has been regularly fur-
nished with the accounts relating to the affairs OF
this agency Several other letters passed, and there
the matter rests.
Meeting OF CATHOLIC PRELArEs.-On Thursday,
the 10Th ultimo, the prelates, assembled at May
nooth, devoted their attention TO the new colleges
bill, and the notifications proposed by government
Having already, at a synod held IN Dublin, unanl-
mousy adopted memorial and resolution emoo-
dying their opinions, and suggesting the changes
which they considered indispensable, the prela.es
did not deem il advisable, under the circumstances,
to take any further step. The prelales have deter
mined TO establish professorship OF ecclesias-
teal history and have selected the Rev. DIR. Rus
SELL man of great learning, to fll the new chair.
MoLAssEs rohFArrENiNo cArrLE.--Some spirited
catle-eeders have begun TO molasses for atter-
ing their stock and if the Porto Rico molasses
should be admitted, the supply will be abundant and
the article cheap, the protecting duty does not
amount to mere than IS. 3D. per cwt. The Dutch
and Holseiners who get everything very cheap for
the fattenng of cattle, are beginning to send their
oxen into Hull and London, at the rate of several
hundred per week, and unless our cattle-feed-
ers are enabled to get not only molasses, but
beans, barley, and oats, much cheaper than at pres
ent, they win find these foreigners much more for
midable rivals than they anticipate.

mentary return, that there chargeabe TO the par

STEAM CoMMUNIcATIoN WITH CHINA.-On Tues
day, the irst monthly mail, direct to CHM, was
despatched via the overland route, and may be con-
sidered as an epoch in the history of our inter
course with that vast empire. II will be conveyed
to Ceylon by the Oriental Steam Companys ves-
sells, carrying the Calcutta mails, and at Ceyon will
be transferred to one of the company's vessels
forming the branch line between Ceyon and Hong
Kong, touching at Penang and Singapore. BY this

REMEDY AGAINST HYpRoPHoBIA.--The Glasgow
Argus mentions remedy for the bite of rabid ami
mails, applied by DIR. David Burnes (brother Of the
traveller, Sir AIexander) in the Of two ladies' of
that city. They were in the parlor of an hotel,
when large dog entered, bit them both severely,
and ran off, DIR. Bnrnes was in the hotel, having
been on tour in the Highlands with Lord and La
dy Panmure. "Dr Burnes, on learning the nature
OF the ACCIDENT Instantly cauterized, cupped, and
excised the wounds; and had also recourse to the
singular method of making the patients suck their
wounds. This course the doctor recommended ten
years ago. in the Lancet, and he says that no dan
ger whatever is to be feared from it, if the mouth
and lips are free from sores or chaps"
LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET
REPORT OF THE WEEK ENDING JULY 1.
From the Circular OF Messrs George Holt & Co.
We have sill a stirring cotton market, and large
transactions taking place daily. This has now been
continued long the part of the trade, who may
be considered as purchasing from prudent or pre-
stationary reasons rather than from necessity
joined, also, during the last three weeks by consd
cradle business on speculation--as to be working
out slight advance in prices. The advance hither
to is SO sight-ony I'D. on niddling qualities of
Amercan--as to serve for an indication that the
tice is in good request, rather than proof of any
changed position Of its value A longer course of
the same extensive business would probably be
more perceptible in our currency. There can hard
ly be any doubt that, should any accident arise to
check divert the supplies of cotton to this coun-
try even in slight degree only, our scale of prices
would undergo conside rabe disturbance, and it is to
guard against this possibility that the spinners are
now taking so large stock. $4,000 American
have been taken on speculation; and 1880 Amer-
can and $50 Surat for export The total sales Of
the week amount to 69, $50 bales.
LONDON CORN MARKET, JULY a.
At this days market, holders of wheat demanded
further advance of 2s. to 3s per qr but, the day
proving fine, buyers did not come forward freely,
and only small extent of business was done, es-
tabshing an advance of about Is. per quarter on
free foreign, and Is. to 81. on bonded. There was
a fair consumptive demand for barley, malt beans,
and peas, at about our former terms.
