WHERE is Mr.. PAYNE "A Toronto CORES
pendent of the New York Tribune says
g This is emphatically the age of new lights,
the last of which has been discovered in these
northern regions, and may possibly be of great
use to her Majesty's ieges in this quarter of
the world. Mr.. Bates, Of Dundas, at the west
of Lake Ontario, has discovered means of
producing beautiful bright light from de-
composition of air. After series of expert
ments, he claims to have hit upon a simple and
ingenious method of producing light of snowy
brightness from peculiar decomposition of
common air. 1t is clear, smokeless, and bril-
liant, perfectly safe, and can be produced at 50
very triling cost that, il it turns out as de-
scribed, it must supercede the use of all de-
scriptions of artificial light now in use. 1t is
the intention Of the inventor shortly to exhibit
the results Of this invention to the public, and
to apply for patent, to secure the benefit of it
to himself. This statement is made on the au-
thority Of private letter, from a source per-
fectly reliable. The description will be made
public here in day or two"
We would advise this dscoverer to pay visit
to our Patent Office before he puts himself to
any further trouble or expense. He will there
obtain some very useful information.

Mexico.
There is scarcely a doubt that the little band
Of insurgents and Texan sympathisers now in
possession of Matamoros will increase i'll num-
bers, and eventually conquer and possess a
large portion of Northern Mexico. The forma-
tion of State governments and their annexation
to the United States are steps scarcely less likely
to be taken. The time required for the
achievement Of all this will not prove long.
An unhappy people in poverty and anarchy VIII
oppose but little objection to it. They may not
for time prove very faithful or desirable citi-
zens, but they viii generally acquIesce IN
resort to their only refuge, and in few years
will begin to appreciate the privileges that are
not now desirable because of their inability to
comprehend them and realize their blessings.
tax their weaker adversaries. We annex, ele-
vate, protect, and fraternize with them. Happy
for Mexico will all this prove.
While such is the progress of things in
Northern Mexico, we are informed, by dates
from the city of Mexico to the 10th of October,
that the British minister had had an official in
teryiew with President Arista, and demanded q
formerly referred to- relative to the debts OF
Mexico; and it is reported that, unless the an
swer is satisfactory, all the Mexican ports will
be blockaded. To this the central government
has nothing to reply. Without power, without
money without the confidence of the people,
or of anybody else, what can it do? Shall it
place itself under the protection of England
England that ever gives "such protection as
vultures give to lambs?" The United States
will have part to enact there, and an impor
tant part too. 1t is alike important to Mexico
and to our government that that country shall
not become subject to any European crown;
and well would it be for US if our minister were
prepared to act with promptness, frmness, de-
cision, courage, and sagacity. Perhaps he will
do So We earnestly hope it, The moment is
critical, and stupendous results are now de-
pendent upon our policy.

The National InteLligeacr OF this morning
quotes from the New York Times a letter from
an attache in government service travelling
abroad" communicated to that paper by some
one who calls himself A. Oakley Hall, and by its
comments appears to place the utmost conf
dence in the writer's statements and to sym
pathise in his bitter hostility to Kossuth and
his companions. The following are the com
ments of the Public Ledger upon this letter:
"The writer expresses his opinion that Kos
suth is humbug and demagogue, and in
dulges in other defamatory comments which
might excite no surprise to find in an Austrian
journal, but in the letter of an American rep
resentative may well lead to the inquiry whether
persons in the employment of the United States
government are hired to traduce the character
of European republicans. man who can de-
liberately call his countrymen fools because
they generously offered a refuge and an asylum
in his misfortunes, to one who failed in his
noble endeavors to restore the rights of his
people, is not exactly the person to sympathise
with the generous impulses of the American
people, or to appreciate the character of Euro
pean republicans, or faithfully represent the
sentiments of the government Of this country.
"There seems to be studied effort on the
part of letter writer's abroad to prejudice the
minds of the American people against the Hun
garian exiles, who have been deemed worthy of
q nations interest and regard. 1t is at least
due to these unfortunate individuals that they
should be heard before they gre condemned,
especially when so much prejudice and ill feel
ing is exhibited by those who make the accuse
tons against them.
"Kossuth may have acted differently from
what was expected, and perhaps differently
from what may have been desired, but not pro-
badly contrary to what he deemed his duty to
his country and the cause in which he is en-
gagged. There is nothing in his conduct which
can compromise the Government of the United
States with any government DESTROYS of avoid
ing trouble That the Hungarian chief, rudely
and uncvlly repulsed from republican France,
should express himself Indignantly against the
President Of that country, is natural and to be
expected. If he insulted the government in
saying that it does not represent the general
sentiment of the country, he is not alone guilty;
many journals, in France and the United States,
have committed the same offence, and with
much less cause for giving vent to their feelings
than Kossuth had. We say again, let Kossuth
be heard in his defence before condemned, and
let us give, as we intended, generous welcome
to the exies."

ton instructing the Committee on Police to in
quire into the expediency Of so amending the

the Assessors to perform this duty. We believe
the effect Of this will simply be to relieve store
keepers from tedious duty, with its formali-
ties, and to have the same end accomplished by
simpler process. This is WELL and the change
cannot but be welcomed by every shopkeeper in
the city.

A New HOTEL AT OLD PoNr.--We have re-
ceyed a circular from Messrs. Parks and
Kirkwood, the energetic and popular superin-
tendant and commissary of the Hygeia, last
season, in which they propose the formation of
a joint-stock company, for the erection of a new
hotel at Old Point. They are already owners OF
tract Of land for that purpose, most eligibly
situated, and commanding fine view of the
bay and adjacent waters. They wish to raise
fifty thousand dollars in FIVE hundred shares Of
800 each. We hope that they will meet with
success in their enterprise, which should COM
mend itself to capitalists and others even as a
profitable speculation, for Old Point is rapidly
growing into public favor as summer resort
for recreation and health. The Hygeia was
crowded during the summer and numbers were
turned away for want of room; and we are
sure that new hotel, conducted, as it will be,
by Messrs. Parks and Kirkwood, will meet with
ample encouragement and deserved success.
Messrs. p. and X. also offer to furnish lots
for the erection of private buildings in the
neighborhood of the proposed hotel. We hope,
in short time, to be able to report the forma-
ton Of the company, and the plan for building
the /" Virginia Ocean House. "--Norfo1k Ncws
The Mr.. Kirkwood spoken Of is Mr.. A. w.
Kirkwood, well and favorably known in this
community. We heartily wish success to this
new and excellent enterprise.
