LATE FROM MEXICO

| A'@hA - L NoNl mEAlCO.
The British steamship Midway arrived at Moh;ls
Point on Friday the 18th iust having left Vera Crnz On
! the 10th inst. The Midway brought over ITO nassau
gers, and 100000 in specie p"''e''-
= BY the arrival OF the Midway we have papers from
Vera Cruz to the 18th inst and from the city Of Mexico
to the 10th. y -eN'e'
The city of Mexico was on the 18th ult visited bv
double calamity In the FIR place. at about 10 O'clock
III the morning, southwest wind commenced blowinp
with great violence, and shortly became perfect hur
rcane as had never been experienced in Mexico in
the memory OF the oldest inhabitant" From mid
day till o'clock in the evening the hurricane ragged
with lnconceivable fury; walls were overturned signs
carried OIL and twelve large trees in The Alameda were
| blown down. The streets filled with debris, and
were rendered for a time impossible
AT the moment when this tempest was at its hejoht
the tocsln sounded from all the churches in the cty and
the cry OF re resounded through the streets which hut
moment before almost deserted soon were filled with
an afrghted crowd The cause OF the alarm was fire
which had broken out in the carriage shop of Wilson
Hope, sapo-sree just in that part of the city where
the hurricane laged most fearfuly. In less than
an hour that establishment and MANY adjacent houses
were destroyed The violence of the wind not only
rendered useless all efforts extnguish the flames but
carried the burning embers to great distance In this
the carriage shop OF Mr. Patrico Desmond New Mexico
street, and at point near the Alameda. The pumps
1ahel water was scarce, the fire department was badly
organized, and the wind continued to blow with the
same fury, SO that 1t believed without reason
that these three res at distant points would lead to
general coniagraton. Happily, however, the general
sohdlty which characterzes the structure of Mexican
houses stopped the progress OF the flames about O'clock
IN the evening About hundred families were depry-
ed OF their homes by this amentabe catastrophe The
damage is estimated at S5O0,000
On the 3Oh ult., an officer the National Guard had
quarrel with the proprietor OF puquera, on the cor
ner OF Venegas and Chavarri streets in which the latter
received mortal wound Another man was assassi-
mated on the same night
On the 22d OF March a terrible confederation broke
out IN the town OF Camden which destroyed hirty-two
houses.

MORE PHILosoPHY AND SCIENCE The Great
est Wonder Yet-A letter to the N. Y. Herald says :
" II has long been question with philosophers and
chemists, whether some plan could not be devised
to extract directly from the soil and atmosphere,
those particles of vegetable matter which tend 20
the support Of animal life, without submitting them
to the slow and uncertain process Of vegetation.
1t Is of course apparent that every elementary
particle Of vegetable matter that we consume, has
been Immediately derived from the soil and the at
mosphere; that although combined by the vegela.
BILE process in various FORMS yet the particles them
selves must remain the same, the only change be.
ing one of combination.
although this principle has long been known vel
no means have hitherto been discovered sufficiently
powerful to effect the requisite changes, and q
transform the earth itself into compound capable
of sustaining life
"We are informed, however, that gentleman
of this city, distinguished for his scientific attain
ments, has at length succeeded in producing the
above wonderful result; from twenty pounds of or
dinary loan, he has formed substance of about
three and half pounds in weight. Il is highly
palatable, and has about the nurilive proper
tie as the ordinary arrow root
By means as simple as they are philosophical,
the different gases employed by nature in the vege,
table process, are combined with, or distracted
| from, this compound. This was found TO De the
greatest difficulty but it was at length happily sur
| mounted.
Although the experiment has as yet been tried
| but on a small scale, yet so perfect mas Deen the
| success that not a doubt can remain in the mind
| of anv Intelligent man who witnesses the opera
| lion. We forbear to dwell upon the vast results
that will flow from this discovery; in fact, the hu-
man mind is at this time perhaps incapable of con-
| ceiving q tithe of the changes that will ensue
A patent has been secured, and in a short time
the discovery will be laid before the public in such
manner as to satisfy the most ineredulous of its
entire pFactieability."

The editors must stay at home. The necessity
of circumstances renders that imperative. Ii they
were not at their points and posts of observation
il they deserted but for day-the society that has
made or proposes making it summer Hegira--
would rush back again IN dlsmay. Itwould be the
tocsin of alarm, and the fears Of fire and aood of
robber and rout, and Eebellion would ensue Up
in inaccessible fourth and fifth stories, in dmly
lighted offices, in quaint localities there live the
editors, and there they live on, instructing, anus
ing, perplexing, worrying, consoling, aggravating
