Dreadful Death.

The neighborhood Of Clifton, England, was
recently thrown into q most painful excite
ment, in consequence Of the death Of q young
lady, the daughter of o clergyman in the
neigbboring county Of Gloucester, under
Giro umstances Of the most appalling descrip-
ton. The young lady in question, Mis- Mary
Richmond, was about eighteen years OF age,
and is understood to BE- the granddaughter
OF the Rev. Leigh Richmond Miss Rich
moDd was on q visit to q con ne1ion OF Der
family, residing near Richmond Park, Clifton.
On Friday she was observed to wander to o
cliff. called the Lions head Cliff" which
stands at an elevation of upwards OF three
hundred feet from the road below, and from
which ere obtained g magnificent view OF the
Avon, the Hot wells, the Leigh Woods, Ash
Ton ard the surrounding scenery. From this
tremendous height the unhappy eiri leiI.-
The precise circumstances which led TO the
terrible accident are differently stated, but
that i. was an accident, and rot, as first stated
q suicide, there can DO DO reasonable doubt.
According to one statement, Miss Rich
mond was absorbed 10 the perusal OF a book,
and she unconsciously walked over the edge
of the precipice; another account states that
she vas endeavoring to gather one OF the
rock plants which grew 10 the crevIces of the
limestone formation, apd that in her efort
20 reach it she over balanced herself, and so
fell. In her descent she was observed to beat
against the projecting polp:s Of the cliff, and
inally to pitch on her bead On the winding
road which skirts the river. Assistance was
Mt once afforded. but the unfortunate ycuug
lady was beyond the reach Of any human a'd,
having been dashed almost literally TO pieces.
Her face was shookingly torn and mangled,
her lower Jaw being broken and forced 10 one
side, several of her rios, and Der arms and
thighs broken, and the flesh of her legs torn
and lacerated. This is the fourth or ii tn acct
dent of this kind which, during the last "A
wears, has occurred from the same cliff.

virginia and France.

The Norfolk Argus translates the follow
ing from the Pharc de la Loire, Nantes,
France, 30h SEPTEMBER We rejoice with
our Norfolk contemporary attte new relations
about to be established between France and
the centre Of the United States. We believe
they will be very useful to both countries,
and will meet with few obstacles. We are
fully convinced that without waiting for the
construction of a line of steamers, a consid-
cradle IN of exchanges cen at once lie
established between Nantes, S.. Nazaire, and
Norfolk. That of ship-timber, for Instance,
has become very important; it has attracted
the special attention OF the Government. and
the Project Of Police, a few days since, made
an ordinance which fixes the tariff Tor its
transportation on the Orleans Rsilrosd.-
This measure is very significant, and proves
the degree of importance which the govern
ment attaches to the devoloEement Of this
branch of industry.
Ships coming from Norfolk will not re-
turn without cargoes. Wines, brandies,
leather, and all ether products brought to
Nantes by the river and railroad, Joined to
those Of cur own city, will be certain e'e'
ments of freight. We can then predict to
exporters from Virginia complete success, and
an increase of prosperity.

Tobacco smugeiIDg IN spain.

Our Madrid correspondent makes tie lol'
lowing statement in regard to th's matter
The quantity If tobacco consumed IN Spain,
its value, and rumbor OF smokers, is altogeth-
er a d fhcult account to ADJUST With the pow
erty of the revenue from this source. Some
close estimates have been made, aud the Tut
Ter, which, perhaps, is the very best autboTl-
ty for matters OF this sort in the country, has
devoted several articles to the subject. Ii Is
claimed that there are no less than three mil
lions of smokers in the country, who consume
a value of not less than SIG. 4OO. 600, the full
profit en- which is about 81, 100 900, making
a difference of 50. 800 600. The question il,
what becomes OF this respectable balance
into whose hands falls this excrssI who re-
cciycs the enormous sum OF 50 300, 600. OF
which no government officer bias knowledge
or keeps account? From the returns render
ed 10 1855 there appears TO have been sid
in that year 100000 pounds of tobacco,
the cost of which rises TO 50, 100. 600, which
is but a small part Of that actually consum-
ed, according to official data. This, with the
fact that the great mass Of the article elabors-
ted costs on the average from fifteen to TWEEN
ty five cents the pound at the factory. sug.
gests the question, what hes become Of the
80, 800 900? There is but one nnsser--there
can he no other-the greater part. aud nearly
all, goes to support The contratand trade,
since the smcunts admitted by special per
missions are no small g. not TO be worth TAX
Jog into account.-N. y. HeraH.

performance Of the season, and was for the
benefit of Mr.. Piacide. The first piece was
that entitled "Thr Father, or Family Fcuds;'
and the second, '.R ,ymond and Agnes, or the

mated, which spread such sad havoc among
those present. On the back of the bill ap-
pears the following inscription. bearing date,

News From O.

The latest news from Mexico is Of unusual
interest. 1t would seem probable at length
that the constitutional party are about to
achieve \ complete victory over the existing
Zuloaga government. This result has not
lately been in much doubt. 1t is certainly OF
grave i'm portance, because 1t announces the
fall of what has been Known as the Church
party"-a fall which cannot fail to exercise
a powerful influence over TIE Mexican ma
ton. The government of Zuloaea was es-
tablished upon an ecclesiastical foundation
1t derivedits chief sustepsnce from the clergy,
who, in Mexico, possess a large portion OF the
wealth of the country. 1t was met. however,
by the constitutional faction, which claimed to
be the legitimate government under Comon-
fort. and insisted that Zulosga was q mere
usurper. In the progress of the controversy
the coustitutionalists have circumecrlbed the
rule of the church party almost exclusively
to the federal capital, commanding, mean
while, nearly all the chief ports OF the repno'
lie. and, of course, nearly oil the public reVe-
pues from imposts. By this means, and after
40 exhausting war, the church party have
been driven 10 large expenditures OF private
means. and, as it would seem, only to be die
confted and Frustrated 10 the end. should
the constitutionalists now succeed to the teder-
al administration, it is most likely that they
will make o severe attack upon the church
and 20 very far to strip it of iss large estates
the proceeds Of which will be transferred to
the public treasury. The war prevailing
more perhaps than any precedent Mexican
quarrel, lie one of determination; ard as the
clergy are likely to suffer a complete defeat.
after having welded their power to strike
down the constitutional party, they will meet
With little mercy at the hands of the incom-
ipy government.
Anticipating a victory and an early con
tro. of the central authority, the constitu
tional president has issued a violent pro-
clamation, calling upon all Mexicsns to be
ready to resist the proposed Invasion oy
the Spanisrds. 1t will be q curious page OF
American history that shall record the events
of a Spanish invasion of Mexico. But we
have no faith whatever in the proposed lnVa-
sion, and no idea, should it ever take place,
that it will extend beyond o blockade and
one or two grandilcquent pronnncidmentos'
