THE VOTE OF NEW YORK.

The vote of New York in the late election, is
less by 3O,207, than in the contest of 1914. Add
to this the natural and usual increase of voters since
1911, which Is atont AZ 600, and there appears
diminution in the vote OF 7S 000. In view of this
the Albany st as remarks: "Where shah we rank
these $4,000 electors wbo refused to take Fart in the
election? What party can claim them, in pointing
the moral of the result? Certainly not the Taylor
party. Certainly not the Cass men. The Free
Democracy can only point to them as body of de-
mocrats Wings dissatisfied with the proceedings

dsapproval in refusal to vote for any candidate
These votes 90 swell :he volume of the judgment

Taylor, they place him nearly 600 votes below
the actual aorty of the electors"

This country stretches from the southern
limit OF Mexico TO The northern limit Of
Colombia-from Chiapas and Yucatan 10
the neighborhood OF the Gulf of Panama.
In length, it is I, 900 miles, and in breadth
varies from 90 to 25O miles. This coun.
try is divided into sax Federal States. which
were detached from Mexico, Of which thew
once formed part, about the time The plan
Of lguala was adopted. These States are
governed BY laws and institutions chiefly
borrowed from the United States, and ara
coniederated together in a similar manner
TO our States. They contain about 2,00O,-
600 populations, Of whom $4,000 are
whites. 10000 Indians. and $4,000 La
dinos or mixed races The progress Of
these States, in improvement and cultivs-
ton, has been greater than that Of any OF
the States Of Mexico. II has been their
object and emulation to adopt or initiate. as
closely as possible. the characteristics Of
the United States, and in furtherance of
this purpose they have repealed the provis-
ion which exists in the Mexican, and the
constitutions Of all the Spanish States for
bidding all other religions except the Cath
Ole. They have further reproyed our own
in adopting as her penal
code the admirable system Of criminal law
prepared by Edward Livingston for the
State Of Louisiana. This country is beau
tfully situated in regard to commerce and
agriculture. 1t is composed Of due pro-
portion Of coast and mountain land. II IS
we'll watered by fine navigable streams, and
has an abundance Of fine harbOrs on both
seas. The chief productions Of the coun-
Try are agriculture. and their exports
amount to little short of s3,0OO,OOO,
whilst their imports are nearly as great.
Their mines are very rich. and, if well
worked, would greatly increase the amount
,f their exports.
In addition TO the federal States Of Cen
raj America. the British Colony Of Hondu-
as forms an important part Of this region.
L forms the Northwest coast Of the Hondu-
as Bay, South Of Yucatan, and North Of
Guatemala, and extends more than 100
niles along the coast. Great Britain ac-
Iuired this territory from Spain, by the
anne treaty which transferred Florida to
he British crown; but it was never quietly
possessed by the latter power until 119S.
The principal British settlement is at the
Belize, a town OF some commerce, and Of
4 population Of 3 or 1000, mostly mulat-
oes and Indians. This is, perhaps. the
,nly colony which Great Britain has whose
evenue exceeds its expenditures. A large

AT the ordinary meeting Of the Royal In
sttute OF Architects, on the 10Th January,
Mr.. lite introduced MIR. Layard, who. in
some remarks on his recent researches. sta
ted that the date of the ruins discovered was
still mystery, but there could Oe no doubt
of their extreme antiquity. He would az
ford them one proof Of it: the earliest
| buildings in Nineveh were buried, and the
earth which had accumulated over them
had been used as buriaLplace by nation
who lived 700 years before Christ. Proba-
bly, the buildings dated from 1,2OO years be-
\ fore Christ.
The rooms were lined with slabs Of mar
BILE, covered with bas-reliels, such as those
now in the British Museum, which were
Joined together BY double dovetails Of iron.
The door ways were fanked by winged hg-
, ures of greater height than the slabs: on all
these figures was the mark Of blood an if
3 thrown against them, and allowed TO trickle
: down. The walls were OF sun-dried bricks,
and where these showed above the sculptur-
: ed slabs, up to the ceiling, they were cover
d ed with plaster and painted. The beams.
: where they remained, were found to be Of
: mulberry. That the slabs should have been
il preserved so long, puzzled many.
e In truth, however, the bricks, being SIM
:; ply dried in the sun, in falling had returned
!. TO earth, and had thus buried the tablets and
protected them. The buildings. he said.
n. were provided with completes system OF
a. sewerage. Each room had drain con-
nected with a main sewer. Mr.. Layard
then proceeded to say, that in the midst Of
the ruins he had discovered small cham
