SERIOUS AccrpENr. Major Delavan, one
of the firm of WEIGH, Mann & Delavan, pro-
prietors Of the National Circus, was badly hurt
ono day last week, by being thrown from his
wagon. He was on a visit to the Hon. Henry
Clay, and when returning the horses he was
driving became frightened and ran away, and
hence the accident. His face was considerably
cut and scratched, and his body good deal
bruised. He was compelled to remain behind
when the company left Lexington.

which very neat and clean, are built up with stone
houses of two stories, but like the capital the sub
urbs consist Of low, small houses of aabes unburnt
brick. There is in this place spacious convent of
the wealthy order Of Carmelites. San Luis is an
important commercial city, from its position in rela-
ton to the port of Tampico and the interior States
and provinces. Zacatecas, Durango, and other
northern and western states, receive large portion
of their foreign exports through that channel.
"a sketch of the route from this part Of the table
land to the coast, will give readers some idea
Of the difficulties that attend all communication be-
tween this elevated region and the ports of entry
the gulf The country between San Luis and Tula
which is reached on the fourth day, is, for the most
part, an arid tract, at least 1t appears in the dry
season, strewed with masses Of limestone Ii is yery
deficient in wood and water, but a large proportion
Of 1t is used for grazing. II was here we saw the
shepherds roasting the cactus leaves to feed the cat
tle and here we saw two men drawing water from
a well in singular manner One man was har.
messed to a rope as long as the depth of the well,
which was suspended by pulley, and raised the
bucket Of water by running the length of his teher
while the other guided the rope and emptied the wa
ter into n cistern where the cattle drank. This is
their daily task from October to June; during the
rest Of the season there is no want of pasture or
water. Near the mountain of Nora, the face Of the
country assumes a different aspect, and the road
passes through deep woods which extend TO the
summit Of this spre of the Sierra. For a consider
able distance the road, only practicable for mules in
single file, is knee deep in fine dust From Norla,
it descends by circutous route, to the plain, at
the extremity of which is Tula, a small and incon.
siderable town, remarkable chiefly for being situn-
ted on the verge Of that arid tract Of country which
extends with little intermission, to San Luis. On
leaving lula, the face Of nature is changed The
road, from being dry and dusty and running among
cactus and Yucca plants, winds through a fruitful
valley cultivated in corn, BEANS and pepper, and
until A e, n
over this fine country brings the traveller to the
mountain Of Gaos, the first broad step in the ladder
Of descent from the table land to the level of the
coast. The path is craggy and steep, and the de-
scent occupies about an hour and a half A few
leagues farther IN the contidera, which is longer
