MExIco-By a degree ofthc republican government
dated 31st March at Puebla, the clergy arc accused
of having taken part in the last revolution and the
ecclesiastical property of that Diocese, amounting to
forty millions Of dollars, is seized to pay the expenses
and damages of the war, and to pension the widows,
orphans, and wounded.-This is the first blow struct
directly at the church property, and as such, is one
of the most important acts ever recorded III the MS
tory Of Mexico. It is the most serious reverse the
Roman church has received on this continent, for
many years.
CENTRAL AMEr1cA.-Wc know that it is understood
among the foreign Ministers in Washington that
England and France lisyc determined to have Walker
subdued by hook or by crook, and that they are
prepared to drive him out OF Nicaragua, unless that

believed here by the same parties that by this time
other battles have been fought in Nicaragua, and
that the means brought against Walker were sufi-
Gent to crush him. We do not believe that this
Government has yet received dispatches concerning
Walkers defeat in Costa RIGA, OF relative to the
state of affairs in Nicaragua, when that took place

respondent seems to think that there must be some
ssmtstake of the printer in our statement that
'sEighty-four run of stones are capable of manufac-
turing about 10000 barrels of -four per day. and
he asks, ''What is the diameter of stones, capable OF
turning out 1l9 barrels of -four IN tWenty-four
hours 20 and GLOW many horse power is required
for one run of stones as above mentioned?" Here
they do not compute by horse power, but by the
quantity of water used per second. Each run OF
stones, is turned by a central discharge wheel With
Is feet broad, the aperture through which water is
discharged upon this wheel is sixteen by SIX inches.
With this power the stones perform two hundred and
fifty revolutions in q minute. When III perfect order,
with good acheot, they are capable of grinding 125
barrels of flour per run of stones in "A hours, but
the usual average is about 100 barrels per nun
