during the greater portion Of the week, pre-
vents more extended notice.

MExIco.-"lon," the Washington corres-
pendent of the Baltimore Sun, under date of
9th of April, thus speculates upon the con-
dilion of affairs in Mexico:
"News of stirring interest is expected BY
the next arrival from the city of Mexico. II
is the belief of those best advised in regard to
Mexican affairs, that the provisional dictator
ship of Comonfort is by this time ut an end,
and that il will be FOLLOWED bv general an
nrchy and confusion. The Sanianists, the
revoiutionists, the church, and the bandits and
robbers-whici last class form n powerful
interest in Mexico-are all leagued against
the present rule Of Comonfort.

ASoTHER PAPER.-We stated n week or
two since, that our excellent and gifted
friend, w. p. CoLLlss, was about to COM
mencc the publication of n paper at Cleve-
land, and that it would be neutral in politics.
We were under mistake in regard to the
last. Friend Collins, whom we had the plea
sure of meeting in the early part of the pres
ent week, informed us that his forthcoming
sheet would be independent, and not neutral
His design is to publish Southern paper
one that will always be found in the front
rank, contending for the South and its issti-
buttons, without reference to the mere po-
litical, or rather party, issues which some
times distract and divide the Southern people.
He is amply competent to make such II jour
nal AS will commend itself to the support of
every Southerner; and we trust his labors
will be properly appreciated and largely re-
warded.

weather has continued remarkably for its cold
changes and unfavoraLle character for bring
my forward vegetation, and the hopes of m
early cotton crop, which at the opening of this
month were usually fattering, are wholly
blasted. As we have stated in previous
number, emily planting was more extensive
than in any previous year, the early spring
having been unusually propitious, and re-
planting has been rendered largely necessary,
while scarcity of seed is complained of in
many sections.

POISONED TEA.-It appears that the dis
ease which prevailed at the National Hotel, in
Washington, and which has been attributed
to so many different causes, is now said TO
have been caused by box of poisoned tea.
An exchange says:

this morning from Washington, and il states
mat gentleman recently from China bought
l3Ib box Of Hyson tea. He went on To
Washington, and while there made present
of this box to the keepers of the National

BURNT BY HooPED SKIRTs.-A young wo-
man named Mary Hall, was terribly burnt in
New York Monday afternoon, In consequence
of her clothes having taken fire from crate.
She had dressed herself handsomely and ex-
banded her frock by means of large hoped
skirt, and was quietly sitting by the fire,
when suddenly her dress was enveloped in
flames, and she screamed for help. Assis-
lance was at hand, but before the flames
were extnguished, her lower limbs and body
up to Tho waist were frightfully burned.-
She lies In very critical condition.

LATER FROM UTAH TERRIToRY.-Files of
the Deseret News, published at Salt Lake

They contain nothing OF startling importance.
The population of the territory is said to be
seventy-seven thousand. Military matters
seem TO be receiving good deal of attention.
Brother Joseph Young, President of the
Quorum OF Seventies, calls upon all the quo
runs to report the number and names of their
members at central point. The Deseret
News ridicules the idea of the general gov
eminent sending officers out there to rule
them.
