Letters from Juarez, for the constitutional
government, are just received here; they al

tionalization of Church property was every
where received, even in the City of Mexico,
and especially in the visit of Can't Oldham

the PRESIDENT on which occasion he took plea
sure in announcing that by order of the British
government, he would not enforce the measures
heretofore contemplated for the redress of COM
plants, nor do anything to embarrass the adj
miniStration.
mas 1t Is supposed, about 5000 troops under
his command, preparing to march on the CITY
of Mexico. Arms and ammunition are con.
stantly being received by the liberals.
Senior Mata, who has just returned from N.
York, has concluded contract for materials
OF war. which will without delay, be furnish
cd to Mexico.
Mr.. Whitehead, who was banished from Mex
leo, where he resided for many years, will soon
return to England in behalf of the British bond
holders and will exert himself to satisfy all their
claims; the Church property being the basis
for transactions and by which it is thought
millions of dollars will be realized for the beue-
ut of the constitutional government
1t is not expected TINT Leonardo will make
any Pecunlary engagements in New York, but
will merely take preliminary steps to that end,
to be submitted to his government for consider
alton. His contemplated visit to President Blu
ctanan and Secretary Cass, with the view to
have full and free talk on Mexican affairs, will
doubtless have the effect of facilitating the ne.
gotiatiOns of treaty satisfactory to both coun.
tries.
Otway, the British Minister, was ut last &C.
counts in Mexico. The dispatches Cor his re-
call had not been received. There is informa-
ton in this city, thatjustfics the assertion that
the vacancy occasioned, will be filled by a sue
cessor favorable to the Juarez government.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 1G.-The extensive ma

Capitol extension works, were destroyed by
fire, which commenced about half past o'clock
this morning. 1t is supposed to have been ac-
cidentally ignited. The buildings were compar-
atively Of little value, but the machinery in
them were very extensive, including the lathe
for turning the immense stone columns for the
public buildings; powerful engines, tools, and
a large quantity of costly marble, finished and
unfinished, has been destroyed. The loss is
variously estimated at from fifty to sixty thou
sand dollars. No insurance

81 Bathing-Its Use and A6uss.-The man.
neF of bathing, though point of the first i'm
pOrtance, seems, by some people, to be thought
of no consequence at all; but let the effects of
bathing be considered, and this difference will
appear in a strong light.
Everything beyond single plunge is preven-
tive of benefit BY continuing in the bath, the
body is robbed of its natural heat, reaction pre-.
vented, the vessels collapse, and Transportation
by the natural pores lis suspended; obstruc.
tons are confirmed, and paralysis is frequently
induced, To leap from hight into the water
is Injurious.
An easy and nearly horizontal position is
the best for the moment of immersion; AMI the
proper time for bathing is when the natural in.
einatiOn is the strongest; and this, generally
speaking, will be after considerable exercise,
but short of producing sensible Precipitation or
fatigue. Nothing can be more injurious than
lingering on the margin of the flood till the
slagnatins fluids refuse to obey even the spur
OfimmerSiOa. The bath should be used only
once day.
