CHURCH REFORM IN MEXICO.

Advices from the city of Mexico are
to the Goth, up to which date we have
full files. The great struggle between
the civil and ecclesiastical powers has
taken an entirely new turn, the Arch
bishop, to the surprise of everybody,
having left President Comonfort far
behind in the work of church reform.
The occasion was decree of the gov
ernment which revived an ancient law,
providing in certain cases for religious
services to the poor free of charge. So
far from resisting it, the Archbishop
Immediately issued formal circular
letter, not only confirming the law, but
in effect making the priesthood hence
forth dependent upon voluntary contri-
buttons, instead of compulsory dues
imposed by the civil authority. Omit
ting the preamble, which seems to
breathe beautiful Christian spirit, we
give only the DEGREES in substance:
81. That you neither refuse nor
cause the faithful to wait for the ad-
ministration of the sacramcnts, nor 9TH
er customary offices of the church.
"2. That you exact nothing what.
ever from those who have recourse to
your ministry.
SO. That you content yourself with
what is voluntarily offered to you.
"a. That, without using other means,
you give the faithful manuscript copies
OF this letter, certified by your sigma
ture, in order to make them acquainted
with it. no @ Is5
"5. That in the place for the law,
you shall put up copy in the frame,
transcribing it also in the book Of Dio-
cesar Acts.
81 likewise warn and pray you, in
the name of our Lord and Saviour j esus
Christ, that you neither begin nor en-
courage any conversation upon this
question, and much less still that YOU
shall touch upon such matter in the
pulpit"
Comments on this circular are as nu-
merous as the points of view from
which observation is made. Some pre-
tend to see in it treacherous insince-
| rlty, others think the real opinions of
the Archbishop have been. misunder.
stood. The Extraordinary thinks the
former; nevertheless it commends the
circular, and expresses the hope that
President Comonfort will not be out
done by the Archbishop in good works,
but will cut the Government entirely
free from the church.
"This will do more towards securing
a pure and benefcent ministration of
religion in Mexico, and towards advan-
cling the civil and political welfare of
the country, than, perhaps, any measure
that could possibly be adopted.
The circular, however, has created q
rebellion in the church. The curates
in body have refusedto obey its COM
mands, and have resigned their char
ges to avoid complying with it.

TRADE OF New YoRK.-A letter
from New York to the Philadelphia In
quirer, says:
"The principal cause assigned for
the universal depression of trade, is the
inability to collect moneys due from
the West, where funds are represented
to be extremely scarce, in consequence
of inordinate land-speculations. The
pdlsations of these speculations are felt
here through ledgers and note books,
in overdue accounts and protested drafts
and notes. The customers of drygoods
jobbcrs, importers; and commission
merchants, far West and North, have
bought immense tracts of land, and
have readily paid four, five, and six
per cert for Money really belonging to
New Workers, but which, if withheld
from them, will only be seven per cent
per annum.
This state of affairs naturally creates
much anxiety among our merchants,
and many affect to believe that com
mercial crisis, not dissimilaf to that Of
1S86-'37, is impending. There can be
no doubt that we are buying too much
abroad, and adopting the credit system
on too large scale at home, for gcn-
eral and unalloyed prosperity,-but
wheter the country is to be speedily
oyertaken by financial ruin, is a mat
ter of conjecture, if not of doubt, in
the minds of the best informed of our
political economists. Several small
failures have occurred here and in Bos-
ton, on account Of the difficulty of OBJ.
tanning funds from the West, and the
large sacrifices on goods sold through
the auction rooms, but there have been
no more suspensions, taking the entire
season through, than the average Of
former years.
The spring trade, however, leaves off
more unsatisfactory than for many sea-
sons past"

Astor House, New York, May 10, '57.
TO the Editors Of the Erening Post.
Two weeks ago, Rev. Mr.. Loryiaux,
q Protestant minister of France, called
upon me in company with Mr.. VIM. r..
Lawrence, of Boston, to make some
inquiries about land in Virginia. They
were seeking homes for the freedom
loving Waldenses of the High Alps in
the southeast of France, who prefer a
mildcr climate than that of our north
western territories. l gave them such
information as i possessed in regard to
the soil, climate and social condition of
the different localities of Virginia, most
likely to suit them, and of the protec-
tion they might expect from the Emf
grant Aid and Homestead Company.
Mr.. Lorviaux has been to visit the
State, and called again upon me to-day
to say that he had secured three thou
sand acres Of good, land for congre-
CATION of some five hundred, in Monon-
gala county, Va, within eight miles
of Morgantown, the county seat, and
on the Monongahela river, and within
twenty 1--WE should say ten] miles of
the Pennsylvania line, at the moderate
price OF rs cents per acre. He thinks
the report he will bear to the French
Protestants will induce many thousands
to leave country where their rights
are but poorly protected. and where
land, of no. more value that he has Just
tboug hs,, owing to the crowded state of
population, is worth from three hun.
drcd to five hundred dollars per acre.
Virginia, | do not doubt, will reclaim
these countrymen of Lafayette, posses

Jays of New York, and the Marions Of

A MODEL WIFE.

A pleasant little Florentine story
reached me the other day. One of our
famous American sculptors, residing in
that delightful city, whittier 1.-THE ge-
MUS of England and America seems to
tend, was one day seated in his studio
at work on an Apollo-for which, by
the way, he might stand model him
self-when his attention was attracted
by tremendous trampling of horses in
his courtyard. He looked out of the
window, and saw a magnificent carriage
with outriders, drawn up before his
door. Presently gentleman claimed
admission to his studio, and announced
himself as the Prince di B. He
came to give the sculptor large com
mission: His daughter, who had been
struck by some statues of the Ameri-
can, that she had seen, wished to sit to
him for her bust. She was then be-
low in the carriage. Was the sculptor
at leisure? Price was no object-all
that was necessary was to crafty his
daughter, who was an invalid.
The sculptor expressed his willing
ness to begin the work instantly, and
the Prince making a sign to his lack
ey's from the window, they proceeded
to lift lovely girl, who seemed about
eighteen, out of the carriage, and bore
her in their arms carefully UP the stairs
to the artists studio. The SCULPTOR
could not repress look of surprise at
this curious mode of locomotion, par
ticularly as the lady did not bear the
slightest trace of illness in her counte-
nance. The Prince interrupted his
glance and replied to it.
"My daughter has been parafySed III
all her limbs" he said, "for the last
two fSonths! 1t is a sad thing. She
has had all the medical aid in Florence,
but without avail"
The sculptor looked again at the III

or form could have been dreamed by
Phidias. A face like Cenci's before t

on the sculptor a rapid glacc, soft as

felt his heart beat with mysterious
