dodge for long time. On the whole it is not
SO bad as really catching those who had actu-

Jeet has by him been thoroughly examined,
i'll connection with the official decree, and the
treaties between the Mexican and other gov

with the most favored nations. While it is
understood that general tax may be impos-
ed, according to the usual form for legitimate
purposes, yet taking all the data into consid-
Grafton, and looking to the present condition
OF that country, the collection of money in
the manner proposed is in the nature of
forced contribution. Thus the position of
Minister Forsyth is sustained, and of this fact
he will be duly advised.

MIssouRI.-Fro both friends and foes to the
cause Of emancipation, says the Boston journal,
we get welcome intelligence in regard to the pro
gress Of public sentiment in Missouri. The st.
Louis Democrat exults in the fact that no side is.
sues can be thrust in to impede the settlement Of
the great question. 1t says:
Efforts have been nsidiously made to Ibring
in side issues, such Bentonism, Americansm,
Germanism, Therapeutism, but they have signal
ly failed, and our citizens now see before them
tn dividing lines which separate the industrial
policies underlyingS free labor progression, from
the repressive stationary, disastrous features of
platform favorable only TO slavery dominion.
There is no middle ground there can he no di-
vided sentiment"
On the other hand, the New Orleans Crescent
remarks;
"The performance Of duty is not always an
agreeable task. On the contrary, it is very disa-
greeable. 1t is with us TO chronicle the fatally
| rapid strides of the Of emancipation in
| Missouri, and to predict, from stern and reliable
! data, that the State is likely to succumb to freG
| soilism within a comparatively brief period"
The Crescent concludes its articles on Missouri
| with the following Respondent remarks
ave have but few more words to add in this
| connection to make our warning to the Southern
| people complete. Missouri is now almost a free
soil State, and will undoubtedly be so utterly in
| few years; Delaware is free soil, although
! nominally slave State. Take these two Com.
monwealths, and add them to the seventeen free
States now in the Union. and we have nineteen
free and thirteen slave States To these nineteen
add Kanzas, Nebraska and Oregon7-which Ter.
ritories will probably be admitted at the next ses-
sion Of Congressman we have twenty-five free
soil to thirteen slave States. This will give the
free States eighteen majority in the federal Sen

oil, OF Scotland, an eminent astronomer
thinks that our earth has rings sike those 81
the planet Saturn. A phenomenon called the
zodalcal light, which at certain seasons of the
year is seen in the form of an immense como.
OF faint light, extending from the horizon al
most to the zenith, is supposed to be a ring of
matter surrounding the earth. The copical
shape is owing to our seeing it edgewise. but
from other parts of the earth's surface it has
been found to open and extend across the
the horizon. The ring is supposed to be about
one hundred thousand miles distant. and to
have breadth of ifty-two thousand miles
with an unknown depth. 1t is also supposed
that there are several rings. The Professor
thinks that the rings have no Conference that
they are neither vapor nor fluid and gives as
theory OF their constitution, that they are
composed of millions of asteroids, circulating

REAL ESTATE IN PH1LADELPHIk.-TheP Penn
sy'Ua1eiGn gives doleful account of the decline
in price Of real estate in Philadelphia. Small
stores and moderately large dwelling houses rem.
readily at fair prices. and the number of houses
for sale and to rent is larger than it has been for
twenty years. large amount of property is in
the sherifs' hands, which sells at ruinously low
prices. Building associations have collapsed, and
large quantities of land on the, outskirts of the
city, bought by Spectators last year, have revert.
ed to the original owners.

A HERD OF Cows IN THE AIR.-The recent
whirlwind at and in the vicinity of Colesville,
Md, was the most singular phenomenon, ac-
cording to the account we have ever read of.
The Rockville Journal says further about it,
that there issued from it black smoke which
darkened the atmosphere. One gentleman
saw herd OF cows apparently up In the air,
and there is every reason to believe that they
were blown quarter of mile. 1t is said
that the horizon was filled with fragments of
clothes. shingles, limbs, &c. 1t rushed ON at
this rate till itreached the Patuxent river, and
there it's course was suddenly arrested.

Csss did not vote at all. Here we have, besides
a specimen of Senator Douglass antecedents, to

GiThus has Mr.. Douglas chosen to disappoint
the hopes Of his best friends, those who had an

of backward move. But he has seen fit to sever,
Of himself, all connection between his friends and
the Republicans of his State, in the coming can

ty of defeat, as defeat he must experience. Abram
