and had no less than from twelve to fifteen
shots fired at him without touching him. The
mob still pursuing him, he ran up to the third

RAIL ROAD.

The contractors on the Central Road
have taken position along the line between
this and Mortified, and are filling up their
gangs as fast as men can be obtained. mr.
Beknap, it will be observed, advertises Tor
thousand additional hands, between North-
field and Windsor - 10 whom very lIoerai
compensation is proiiered. The opening oil
navigation will, doubtless, answer this de-
mand, and enable the Company to prosecute
their work with all desirable rapidity. line
operations at this place have given 10 the
northern portion of the town unwonted lie
and activity. Buildings grow up in night
- forests disappear as by magic, ana the
long lines of men and teams winding this
slope, and mounting that prominence, invest
the scene with an air Of romance pertaining
to some military exploits Of which we have
read. Messrs. Brown and Mills have fine
gang of hands, and are making rapid adj
vance with the work. The soil is uncom-
monty fine for excavation, and nothing but
a very bad contract or very bad management
can prevent their making penny.

LATE AND IMPORTANT FROM MEXI

We are indebted to gentleman who arrived
here TO div from Havana, via. Charleston, in the
short passage of eight days, for the following
important intelligence:
The Junaia arrived at Havana on the eve.
ming OF the 22l nit. bringing advices up to thai
day. and by the Captain we learn that a great
change had taken place IN the state of our re.
latons with Mexico.
II appears that Paroles has been induced to
alter his tone, owing to strong manifestations
exhibited against war with the United States,
and that Mr.. SlideH, our Minister, has been duty
notifed that The Government mere really 10 cOnsm
er propositions he had 10 make on behaG Of our
Government, and that there existed no doubt but
that the matter would be speedily adjusted

pronounced against Paroles and the war party.

AcoUrrTAL OF TIRRELL.-The public
were taken somewhat by surprise on Satur-
day, by the intelligence that the jury, after
being out about two hours, from the time
when the Judge concluded his charge in the
case of Trrell, had brought in verdict Of
acquiual. The prisoner was then remanded
fol trial for another capital offence, viz
arson. The charge is founded on the same
evidence, as that on which the Indictment
for murder was based. -Bost. Daily.
The acquillal Of Tirrel is gross and in
famous mockery Of Justice. Well does tho

The NAVAL ESTIMATES. - We notice
among the official papers a letter from Mr..
Bancroft covering the estimate Of the Naval
bnreanx with regard TO naval appropriations
1t is dated Jan. s, 1916. 1t advises "great-

tons contemplate" and parlicuarizes to
some extent, the mode in which these pre-

that authority be granted for the consruc.

sloops, and two steamers Of smaller class,
for The equipment and repair of all the
vessels in ordinary, and the frigates and
sloops on the stocks, and for a suspension OF

TuE EFFECT Of Durres on PRrcEs We
iad in tha Jlnraal OF Commerce.. , paper
which should take some note of the circum-
stlucc,.. AN extract from a letter written by
OrarJ, DIpuy & Co., IN which they say
that in consequence of the proposed 'educ-
ton of the duty ON brandy in England, the
article had advanced twenty-five per cent in
France. Will the Journal of Commerce
explair how this corresponds with the doc
,rine that the price of an imported article is
enhanced by the amount OF the duty paid
upon il! Here we see that the prospect
merely of reducing the duty on brandy at
once raises the price in the place ofProduc-
ton. So it was when the duty was taken
from rice in Cuba. Rice did not fall mate
rally there, but it instantly rose here! No
fact is better established than that the redu-
Ger of an imported article suffers for large
portion of the duty.
