that are kept in concealment by the priests.
The city of Mexico can also boast Of splendid
theatre, or opera house, which was erected st an
immense cost, and is capable Of seating ten
thousand persons comfortably. &I
On the western side Of the city Is another
square of forty five acres, with fountain IN the
centre. 1t is laid out into pleasant walks, ana
much frequented in the evening as a prone
made.
The city of Mexico, like the city OF New YORK.
has its fashionable drive-its Third Avenue.
We must. however, acknowledge that our
Third Avenue cannot be compared to II iorb beauty
and extent. Some idea of its extent may be
formed from the fact that it is one mile wide, on
which the most splendid carriages, In lnnumera-
BILE numbers, may be seen every evening. IL is
not unusual to see seven or eight thousand horse
men and two thousand carriages on II :, the
same time.
n This is faint description of the city OF cxico,
now, probably, in possession Of tie Ame-
rican troops When we reflect on It's beauty
and magniiccnce, we are not at all sur
prised that the enemy preferred to allow
our ;army to occupy it without making any
resistance, for if it were bombarded in the
same way as Vera Cruz was, the damage could
never be remedied. We are as much surprised,
however, when we consider the wealth of the
churches, that the priesthood who have con-
trolling influence on the public mind of that
would have allowed our army to march
into it-that they did not direct their influence
towards peace.
But SO it is. Mexico, the capital Of the re-
public, is probably now in our hands, and will
remain in our possession till peace shall have been
concluded.

We learn that the :" Hero of Alvarado" arrived
in town last evening, and is now at the Ameri-
can Hotel. The gallant officer came as far as
Norfolk in the U S. ship Ohio, and thence by
the overland route to this city. On his arrival
here last evening, he was met with such well
come as he will not soon forget. AS soon as it
was announced that Lieut.. Hunter was in the
house, the greatest commotion prevailed through
out the whole American The reception rooms
were thrown open, and the ladies fastened to
show how well bravery and beauty coincide.
While yet he was enjoying the agreeable sur
prise of such reception, the gallant sailors ears
were addressed with three times three as hearty
cheers were necessary to do his heart good.
Nothing could exceed the enthusiasm which pre-
vailed; cheer after cheer followed the regular
round, and all seemed DESTROYS to be foremost
in expressing their admiration of bravery by thus
showing respect to its embodiment.

LATER FROM VENEZUELA.-By private accounts
from Caracas to the 4th instant, we learn that
the fate of Guzman, who, it will be recollected,
had been condemned to death for attempts at Gre
ating political disturbances, was still unsettled.
His friends had appealed to the Supreme Court
for reversal of his sentence. That court, how
ever, had, it was supposed, decided against him,
and his family who are wealthy and respectable,
were using all their endeavors to obtain reprieve
or pardon.

INTERCOURSE WITH THE PACIFIc.-Mr. Asa
Whitney's project of constructing railroad to
the Pacific, receives the approval of all who be-
come informed of it. A few days since, the
Connecticut Legislature passed resolution re-
commencing it in very fattering manner, and
requesting the Senators and Representatives of
that State in Congress to give his plan their
prompt attention and support.
Whether Mr.. Whitney's plan, or that proposed
by Mr.. Wilkes, or the new project Of cutting a
railroad or canal through the isthmus of Tehu-
antepec, will be adopted, no one can tell but it
is certain that many years will not elapse before
the Atlantic and Pacific oceans are united.
The increase of civilization and commerce de-
mands something Of the kind.

RIOT AND FIRE AT LONG ISLAND FARMs.-The
buildings at Long Island Farms having been
rented by the Emigrant Commissioners as hos
pital for the sick under their charge, the inhabi
tants living in the vicinity of Newtown, L. l., be-
came alarmed at the danger of infection that
might result from such a use Of the buildings,
and SO called meeting, at which it was deter
mined to take immediate steps to prevent the oc-
cupancy of them for such purpose. Tho end of
all was, that the three buildings rented by the
commissioners were set fire to and burned to the
ground. A fourth building, not rented by the
commi ssioners, remained safe and unscathed.
1t is said there were some fifty or sixty persons
in the mob who destroyed these buildings.
p S.-A gentleman from Newtown informs us
that the meeting alluded to was called as meet
ing of the board of health, but as there was not
a majority of the board present, resolution was
passed authorisng officer John l.. Boyd to pro-
coed to the premises, accompanied by twenty
five volunteers, and prevent the landing of the
intended occupants; but before the arrival of the
officer the buildings had been fired by some per-
sons to him entirely unknown.

Conspicuous among the beauty and magnif-
cence of the city of Mexico is the Main Plaza,
of which we give beautiful illustration in this
lays paper. This represents the Plaza as 1t APP
u cared in 1888 1t covers an area of twelve acres
paved with marble, forming one Of the most
be antiful promenades in the world. On every
side of this great square, it will be perceived,
magnificent and costly public buildings are
situated On one side is seen the spacious
cath coral, which extends the whole length of
the saua re, and the Government Palace extends
the whole length of another side. The cathedral
is erected on the site of the great idol temple of
the Aztecs, and the Government Palace on the
ground Of the palace of the great Montezuma.
The amount of wealth in the cathedral is
incredible The altar is covered with plates
of massive silver, and beautfed with or
namcnts of massive gold. The balustrade
enclosing the altar extends length of
! one hundred feet, and is made of massive
composition of gold, silver and copper, the value
of which is exceedingly great. Statues, vases,
and candlesticks, of gigantic size, are scattered
through the building; and when we know that
these, too are made from the precious metals.
we can form an idea of the immense wealth of
this cathedral.
There are about eighty churches in addi-
,,on 70 the cathedral, richly ornamented with
,rold. silver and precious stones, and it is
Imposed that the wealth which is exhibited in
