NEW YORK HERALD.
The News from Mexico.


We were yesterday enabled, by our special
TO lay before our readers, forty-eight hours in
advance OF the mail, some very important news
from Mexico, received at New Orleans by the
steamer Jno. McKim, which left Vera Cruz on
the 4th instant. That news has doubtless been
read and commented upon by every intelligent
man inthe city, each of whom formed his own
opinion upon it. We, therefore, consider 1t un-
necessary to refer to il further than to say that
the details of the news, SO far as received, VIII
be found on the outside of to-day's paper. More
minute particulars will be given when we receive
our full files of southern papers
To Postmasters and Newspaper Subscribers
Hitherto it has been lawful for postmasters to
receive subscriptions for newspapers, and for
ward the money to the publishers, free OF ex-
pense.
This law was repealed by an act passed on the
twenty fifth day of April last. which act was to
take effect on the first day Of July instant. We
were net aware OF the repeal of the first men
toned regulation, neither were the deputy post
masters throughout the country as we are in
formed, having, as we. believe, exercised the
authority vested in them by it since, as we'll as
before the first Of July.
We yesterday learned the fact of its repeal
and heard further, that the Postmaster G General
has extended the time when it shall come into
operation to the first Of August next; after which
day payments Of subscription must be forwarded
through the post-office, direct to the propretors
of the respective journals.

eived by these men in any other part, wherever
they may chance to be at the moment; and we
are safe in saying that within one minute
from that moment, the water will be thrown
upon the fire with the whole power Of the Croton
pressure, which is very great in the lower part
Of the city, and in quantities sufficient, II re-
quired. TO deluge the whole warehouse In less
than ten minutes, a space of time too brief
for any thing short of saltpetre to gain
much Roadway, and, we believe, it has
not yet been decided whether even salt
petre will explode with combustibility too rapid
for the Croton to quench.
The building is opened at sunrise in the
morning, and the doors are closed at sunset.
No fire or light is allowed at all in the ware
honse, except under peculiar restrictions, in the
basement or vault, where daylight never enters
Mr. Anderson has given us his opinion
that the bonded warehouse is now a safer
building for the storage Of merchandise,
than any and every other building in the
city, unless II may be some one similarly
guarded and protected from fire. We hope, for
the credit OF our city, that these facts may be
duly examined, weighed and appreciated by i'm
porters and Warehouses; whether in this in for
eign countries, and that they may tend to relieve
them both from anxiety and from exorbitant rates
OF insurance. Merchandise to the value of seven
millions Of dollars has, within less than one
year, been warehoused in this city, in the very
infancy of the system, and we have no doubt that
hundreds of millions will be safely warehoused
In successive years, without the loss of hun
dreth part of one per cent by fire.
We are assured that no pains or expense will
be spared on the part of the Collector to render
the United States bonded warehouse place for
storage perfectly safe without insurance, and we
advise all warehouses;, and especially foreign
manufacturers and exporters, in whatever part of
the world they may be, to submit to no imposi-
ton of exorbitant rates Of insurance. Let them
warehouse their goods for a while without any
insurance, and they will soon bring the compa-
MES to reason.

The GALWAY INDUSTRIAL SOCIETY Sometime
since we published a circular, written by Henry
Barry Hyde, ESQ.,, Secretary of the Galway In
dustrial Society, of Galway, Ireland, addressed
to the benevolent portion of the American
people, soliciting heir aid, by contributions of
money, in such sums as they could conveniently
spare, to assist them in prosecuting the holy and
humane purposes tor which that society was es-
tablished.
Sir ce that time, Dudley Persse, Esq, of this
city, who, with other gentlemen, has kindly con.
sented to act agent of the society in this city,
sent to the society draft for forty pounds
sterling, the proceeds of his exerton
as collector for the cause. The reply of
the society to this letter will be found on the
outside of to-day's Herald, and on behalf Of the
furnishing, yet industrious people of Ireland,
we invite for it calm and careful perusal.
We also solicit the contributions of our people,
and in the language of the secretary of the Soci-
ETY., will repeat, that even one shilling will be
OF service, and may perhaps save life. Let no
one be deferred from contributing, no matter
how small the sum may be that he can devote to
this humane object.
