ters from Mexico in reference to the recent demand
Of the MiramOn Government that the church plate
be placed at its disposal to raise money for the de-
fence Of the capital and the continuance of the
in most cases refused, and at the last accounts
received at Vera Cruz, only paltry sum had thus
been raised is stated, moreover, that in nearly
every where the plate has thus been taken and
sold, 1t was by force alone And among those who
most active in this work of sacriege was
Robles Pezuela, late Minister to Washington, now

double door three inches thick, made of solid steel
plates, opens, and dscoses not the interior of the
safe but another pair Of doors of equal strength,
fastened by the patent Tumbler lock. Nor is this

third pair of steel plate doors. Here then we have
locks without keys or keyhole, capable of a million
different combinations, and which can only be
opened by the one who closed them.

always heavy storm at the time of the equinoxes,
for statistics show that such seasons are more often
marked by fair weather than foul. He accounted
