SPAIN AND NxUoo.-Ovr Late sdvioes from
Europe state that The pending qssstleas between
Spain and Mexico arc approaching . peace
full solution Senior LafrNgua, the Nsxicaa
Minister to Spain, had left Paris for Madrid and
1t was publicly announced that the forces which
were being fitted out In the Peninsula would now
proceed to Cuba, in order to strengthen the gar
rison of that leland. They had not yet departed
from Cadiz, and we shall not be at all surprised
if they do not leave Spain. The truth L., the
statesmen Of Europe have entertained vague
fear of Mr.. Buchanan since his accession to tho
Presidency. The recent speech of Lord Palmer
ston in Parliament upon the New Granada diff
Guilty with this country. shows that even he
participated In it, and that the wise and prudent
course of Mr.. Buchanan and Gen. Cass, lately, to-
ward New Granada, has removed weight from
bis heart Gen. Narvsez shared this apprehension;
and hence the apparent vigor of his preparations
for quixotic expedition against Mexico, which
could only result In the total destruction of tho
remnants of Spanish power on this continent
Many reasons exist why Spain should not send land
and naval forces at the present time to Cuba ifher
fear of Mr. Buchanan and Gen. CAss Is removed.
The Spanish treasury is not BY any means suffer-
ing from plethora, nor Is the position of the ex-
ieting government one that will warrant dimi-
mutton of its military force at home. Besides,
the time of year is eminentiy unpropitious for
sending European troops to Cuba One-haif of
them, at least, would die Of yellow fever before
winter sets in, and the effect of q summer accii-
nation upon the other Is not at all desirable
thing. Lord Palmerston's speech will have a
sedative effect upon Gen. Narvsez, who will be
glad to participate in the new European cOnvic
ton that Mr.. Buchanan and Gen. Csss are not
going to Ostendise Eoglish and Spanish America
Immediately.

Every mail now renders the prospect of q

leading foreign nations may Induce the Chinese
authorities to come to terms without appeal to

Education Of the Blind submitted to the

state that they have endeavored to exercise
economy in their management, but without
any stint in neccssaries for the comfort and
convenience Of the household, believing they
but carry out the benevolent intentions Of
the legislature, when they provide most
liberal support for the blind. They have not
therefore failed to furnish all musical instru-
mcnts, books and other appliances by which
the education Of the blind may be promoted.
All considerable expenditures have been
made with the unanimous order Of the Board
Of Trustees, and they state their satisfaction
that the liberal appropriation to the inStI,u-

To Parents AND YouSG MEcuASIcs.-Therc
arc but few families that have not one or
more members VINO possess a taste for Sci
nee, art. or mechanics; to the parents Of
uch we have few words TO say. Such
astcs are noble, because they afford evidence
OF thirst for useful knowledge, and as
knowledge is power" they should be fos-
tered and cultivated The reading and study
Of works of an Elementary character are
necessary for this purpose, but these are not
sufficient; those who have such tastes must
also read and study periodicals devoted to
the propagation of information relating to
discoveries, inventions, and improvements.
The public mind is so active at the present
day, and art and science move on and pro-
gress with such rapid strides, that it is posi-
tiveiy necessary TO employ means of this
character to keep posted up in correct in
formation. Many publications contain much
that excite the passions, and oftcntimes i'm
part to them wrong bias but science ap-
peals only to the intellect and the judgment.
and its influence must therefore be elevating
to every mind that pursues it. Is not this
powerful reason why every family should
welcome scientific periodical and make it
household companion?
Our country is a young giant; its growth
in material greatness is modern miracle
among the nations. 1t presents more open
ings for young men to rise to renown and
wealth than any other. Every mechanic
who acquires masters skill Of his business,
coupled with intelligence and scientific know
ledge, is sure to rise to distinction. On the
other hand, an ignorant man, no matter what
may be the advantages presented to him,
never can arise 10 distinction-he lacks
know'edge-and is therefore deficient in
power to do so.
Young mechanics. Yours is the time of
life to devote to the acquisition of positive
knowledge, before the cares Of tho world
absorb all your time in providing the means
of bare subsistence.
a young mechanic should learn to be
good draughtsman his mind should be i'm
bued with sound scientific information; he
should be posted up in the progress of sci
ence; and he should be able to write and
express his opinions freely and correctly.
He should have a manly ambition TO be in
telligent in all that relates to his profession;
for those no have 70 such ambition never
