WErrISe BRIcK.-It is important that every
one engaged in building should be we'll in
formed in regard to the durability Of mate
rails. We publish the following from en- eI-
change paper:
Very few people, or even builders, are aware
of the advantage Of wetting bricks before lay
ing them, or if aware of it, they do not prac-
tice it; for Of the many houses now in progress
in this city, there are very few IN which wet
bricks are used. A wall twelve inches thick,
built Of good mortar with bricks well soaked,
is stronger in every respect than one sixteen
inches thick built dry. The reason of this Is,
that if the bricks are well saturated with water,
they will not abstract from the mortar the
moisture which is necessary for its crystalline
ton; and on the contrary, they will unite
chemically with the mortar, and become as
solid as the rock On the other hand, if the
bricks are put up dry, they Immediately take
all the moisture from the mortar, leaving il
to dry and harden, and the consequence is
that, when building of this description is
taken down or tumbles down of Its own &C.
cord, the mortar from it is like so much sand.

INTERESTING FROM MExICo.-Advices have
been received from Moxico 10 the 18th ult.
The correspondent of the New Orleans Bee
writes:
The newest project on the tapis is the fol-
lowing: Santa ANNA lately assembled his
State Council, and submitted to them three
questions, viz:-ls.-Is it time to constitute
the nation? 2d-To whom does it appertain
to draw up the basis of q new organic law {?
3d-What form Of government shall be adop-
ted? The council replied: 1st-That it is
time to give u Constitution to the government.
2d-That Gen. Santa Anna is vested with the
requisite power to draw basis for the organ
ic law. 3d-That the form of government
should be a representative Republic. Suisse
quently, however, Santa Anna changed his
mind and the whole scheme was postponed.
Mr.. Vidal y Rivas, who succeeds Almonte
rs Minister to the United States though only
80 or IS years Of age, is the father in law OF
Santa Anna, having married the widow Man
uelita Tosto, mother Of the Presidents wife.
His appointment has provoked any quantity
of jokes.
There had been a revolt at Puebla. which
was put down by the execution of two ser.
geants. A similar but more serious one had
occurred at Orizaba, and 500 troops had beer
de- pstched thither.

Inc InteHigcncer deprecates the radica

and quotes Shakespeare as follows, to illustrate
the precise character of such notions:

The bteiligsneeri is further greatly shocked
At the proposition OF an unnamed New York pa-
per that shouts out for an elective judiciary, be-
cause, ssOur city cOtcmporary alleges, .'Judge
Kane, of Pennsylvania, has felt himself bound
TO obey the Constitution of the United States in
recent case of abduction of slaves, instead of
yielding himself, body and soul, to the behests
OF fanaticism. Surely it is the very error of
the moon; she comes more near the earth than
she vas wont, and makes men mad" It is
bed enough, in all conscience, to have State
judiciary elective; but if the time is ever 70
come when the Supreme Judicial Tribunal is
to be composed of men chosen by and depen-
dent on the vaeillating favor of the populace
then, indeed, shall we have taken fatal stem
backward
The Union argues at length on the subject
OF the Wheeler slave-stealing case, justifying
and defending the opinions and action of Judge
Kane in the premises.
