and oppressed poor Mexico to tho EARTH God send
speedy deliverance to her from them!
The soil around Parras for stretch Of many
miles is very rich, and finely watered, under their
admirable system Of irrigation. ! have nowhere
met with such an extensive body q cultivated
lands In the country. There arc wheat fields sew
eral miles in extont, which look most promising
all lying open, without hedge enclosure Of any
KIND 20 protect them. The graperes, however,
are generally secured by high substantial wa lis Of
sun-dricd bricks, and the smaller lots within the
town by hedges of roses, nicely trimmed, which,
at this season Of flowers, are really beautiful
There is another attraction to evening STROLL too
which must not be forgotten---the Alsmada. AL
though not as extensive as tho one at Satillo it is
quite equal to it in beauty. It is perfectly delight
full to stroll down its broad avenues the sides skirt
ed with flowers, and the in!erlocking branches Of
the tall wellgrown trees on either side forming a
complete arbor over your heal, while your ears
are charmed by the ripping soind of the waters
which feed and sustain all its loveliness. BY the
way, there is no commodity SO valuable in Mexico
as water, and there is not rivulet which is not
made the subject Of sale or rent in its whole course
II matters little who possesses the land if he has
no right Of water.-He is at the mercy of the man
whose fructifying stream can alone give it value
There is the same destitution Of timber here which
prevails in all the country below, and there is
scarcely tree Of any size except fruit trees or
such as are cultivated for ornament, and regularly
watered AS the consumption of fuel is considera-
bic in the distleries, the inhabitants are driven to
the necessity of digging the roots Of shrubs, and
have been surprised to see the enormous size to
which they grow. A tree not thicker than my
arm will usually be found to have root larger
than my body. One of our soldiers, however, has
discovered, since we have been here, valuable
bed of peat, neorly equal TO stonecoa, close to tho
town; and have little doubt, from representations
he makes, that the latter may be found also.
We have news here-nothing at all definite
or satisfactory from the other line. A few days
ago, received orders to keep look out for the
Indians, who had been committing some depIeda-
tons near to Parras just before we got up. The
Camanches have encroached within about fifty
miles Of this, and taken possession of some valua.
BILE ranches, which they usually make resting
place in their ncursions, for several months, every
year. There are some of them there, we learn, at
this time, but in no force TO trouble u.s. and doubt
whether they will venture into tho settlement a.
gain during our stay.

LADIES' FAIR.

The Fair held by the Ladies Of the Methodist
~. Church at the Wesleyan Female Seminary on
Monday, was attended by large number of per-
sons who were amply repaid for the time and mo-
ney spent in visiting it by the attractions of tho
iair Ladies who presided at the tables, and the
beautiful and, in many instances, useful articles
exposed for sale.
On Monday night fine Supper, composed Of
The Su6sfdnttdts, was set out, and Ike arts of Ia
CUISINE never appeared more conspcuously or more
to the satisfaction of company than to that which
surrounded this board.
Without the spirit and enterprise of the Ladies
we would have nothing valuable in life, and we
are glad that their efforts in this instance devoted
as they are TO a benevolent purpose) were SO fully
appreciated.
