AFFAIRS IN MExIco.-We publish in another
part of our columns this day, quantity of mlscel-
laneous intelligence from this interesting country.
Since the withdrawal Of the victorious troops OF
the Americans from Mexico, the career Of that
country, and the course and policy Of its govern
ment, have been such as to give decided pleasure
and satisfaction to the friends Of liberty and order.
This satisfaction has chiefly consisted in the dis
appointment of many fears and serious apprehen-
SONS. Men Of judgement, well acquainted with
tins country, were spprehsnsiye Of Its ielng into
anarchy on the removal Of the American troops.
But the government Of Herrera and Arista has
maintained itself wisely and prudenIly; the fac
tious and ambitious, who attempted to raise revolt
and effect revolutions in various points, have been
put down with great vigor and some severity.
These dlsturbers of the peace Of their country
seem to have been instieated by Santa Anna, who,
frem the place Of his exile, still exercises perni-
cious influence over his country.
IL will be seen by our intelligence, that the
finances Of the present government are in a low
situation. 1t is said that means are wanting to
perform the poorest and duties of govera-
meni. There may be much exaggeration in this
matter and we hope there is. Party spirit ruas high
in Mexico, as IT does in all free republics, and the
prudent government Of Herrera has many enemies,
Of course.

II appears, from recent experiments made on the
Camden and Amboy road, that Cumberland coal has
fully sustained Its character erlor fuel for the
use Of railroads; and following the example of the
Camden and Amboy, similar experiments are In pro.
gress the Reading road. 1t has been ascertainsd
that Cumberland coal will create than any
other species OF coal and when compared to wood the
difference In point OF economy Is not less satisfactory
The official reports OF the Bsltimers and Chic and
Camden companies have proved that ton OF Cumbsr-
land coa is equal two and half cords Of wood con-
sequenty coal at six dollars would result 10 saving
Of City Per cent wood being at four dollars cord
1t is not however very probable that the Erie COM
pany win Blo ,burs coal for several years as wood
will be sbundsntly supplied at price not to exceed
one dollar and twenty five cents.

ton that Cumberland eCsl is the best fuel steam

the United States. 1t Is a singular coincidence,
that at the time when Mr.. Eames, the recently ap.
pointed American Commissioner TO the Sandwich
Islands, was negotiating this treaty in Honolulu,
Mr. Clayton, and Mr.. Jervis Commissioner from
the King of the Sandwich Islands to Washington,
were engaged in the same duty, and that both
were formed. 1t happens, too, that the provisions
almost identical, and that they do not material
ly conflict with each other. BY this treaty, Anne
rican steamships will be allowed to enter Honolulu
without any charge or toll of any kind, and place
in the harbor of that island has already been de-
sIgnated for the erection of depot.
When any of those communications between
the Atlantic and Pacific oceans are completed,
and lines of steamships placed on the latter, then
the United States will bound at once into degree
of commercial prosperity, which will make the
whole world our tributaries, and which will open
to us destiny most dazzling, and such as the
mind can hardly conceive. We shall become the
carriers of the world-the connecting link between
all the ends of the earthall nations will be COM
PEELED to pay us toll. New York, the great metro
polls, will become the of the moneyed power of
the universe Such is the prospect in store for us,
and such the advantages which are even already
almost within our grasp. When we reflect upon
these things, we can easily account for the nom
construction of communication between the two
oceans long before this period. To make it, would
be to make the United States the carriers of the
world. This would, at once, destroy the COM
mercial supremacy of England, which she has so
long exercised. AS soon as 1t is formed, and the
Pacific navgated by steam, she loses rank as
commercial nation, and the United States bounds
INTO a position that cannot be assailed. Hence we
can account for that nation not moving in the mat
ter up to this time, but now when she that ci-
tzens of the United States have obtained grant to
construct canal at Nicaragua, she is DESTROYS Of
participating in Its advantages
Ths facilities thus extended to us in the treaty
above referred to, will make 1t incumbent on the
United States to protect the Sandwich Islands, and
to maintain the integrity of the government there.
