The Mexican Treaty.

1t is evident from the preparations now
making in Washington, that there will be a
severe onslaught made upon the Mexican
treaty as soon as it is printed. Many of the
Senators think they see negro in it.
The Department of State has received adj
ditional intelligence from Mexico, giving ac-
counts Of recent outrages perpetrated upon
American citizens residing and doing bust
ness in that country. They are of the most
insulting character, and the parties com.
planning, call upon the government of the
United States to prevent these fragrant vio-
iations. The hands of the government are
tied, and unless Congress gives the President
the power asked for, nothing can be done
for them.

From Venezuela.

BY the arrival of the brig Conquest CAP
tain Jansen, at New York on Wednesday,
news from Angostura, Venezuela, to the
18th ult., and letters from Caracas to The
list inst, have been received. The revou-
ton was still going on, without any decis-
i've results. The navigation of the river
was somewhat impeded, thereby preventing
the forwarding of merchandise for vessels in
want OF cargo. The British gunboat Skip
jack was at Angostura, from Trinidad, aud
would remain some time in port. Sotillo
vas not defeated as reported, but was raya-
aging the country at Barcelona and Matu-
rim. Cold blooded murder, incendiarism
and rapine were prevalent in the provinces.
Five hundred State prisoners had been sent
to Castillo San Carlos. Financial complica-
tons with England and diplomatic difficult
ties with France, in consequence of the alb
rupt dismissal OF her Minister, added to the
dangers of the republic very much.

From Kingston, Jamaica.

Files from Kingston, Jamaica, to the 3lst
ult., have been received in New York, but
the papers do not contain any news OF inter
est. The Morning Journal advises "the cul-
tivation of cotton, as it does not require the
gar or the cultivation Of coffee. Let fields
for the cultivation of that article be estab-
lished in every locality of the island, and We
feel certain that the two staple products
would not be in the slightest degree reduced.
There are great many who do not labor
at all, in consequence Of their physical inca
pacity to perform the work required on es-
tates, who would lind very congenial en-
pioyment in the cotton fields"

sang were beautiful indeed, and the quiet

heighten the effect, and convince the listen
ers that none but highly cultivated voices
could produce such melody.

of TRANSMISSION of blood into the veins Of a
woman was performed lately in kilmarnock,
Ayrshire, Scotland. The woman, although
in the prime of life, had become so weak
from loss of blood that pulsation was al times
imperoeptible. The blood of a friend was
injected into vein in one of her arms, ana
the most cheering results were Immediately
manifested. She continued to improve rap
idly, and at last accounts was considered be-
yond danger.

Our Book Table.

Who that keeps an eye on the current
events Of the day as spread before them
by the newspaper press, has not heard of
the famous-or as she is often termed
"infamous"-Lola Montez. In the thou
sand reports that make up the columns
Of newspsperdom, who can form correct
conclusion Of noted character, when
almost every report they see differs SO
vastly; and then, again, is not one side
Of story usually very good, until you
hear the other. How often is the force
of this saying brought home to individ-
aals, who find themselves villifed and
traduced by their enemies, who make
molehills assume The proportions of
mountains, in some trivial affair in which
they may have had hand. In writing
thus, we are not the apologist of Lola
Montez though We think it best that
those who feel sufficient interest in the
conduct Of this noted woman, should
give due weight to her version of the
story of her life, which may be gathered
from the productions of her own ready
pen.
II. B. Peterson & Bros, Publishers,

ton Of "THE LECTURES OF LOLA Mon

The N. Orleans Delta says:
"We close the book with the remark, that
it is one OF the sauciest, spiciest and inter-
esting volumes Of its kind which has been
issued from the American press for some
years. Never mind about the writer-the
book is the thing, and though it is weman's
book, and therefore lacking that force which
belongs to masculinity, it is, for all that,
pleasant companion in these days. And so,
we kiss the tips OF our fingers to the erFa1ic
Countess of Landsfeldt, with a good night
and rosy dreams
EFe think, on this recommendation
though no stronger than many others of
the press, we shall be induced at our
leisure, to read the book through, as we
have already glanced at the Aatobiogra-
ply, and find that of sufficient interest to
make us eagerly seek more.

one. Try it
Put corn meal iato good sized wood or
other bowl, with sugar and salt to the taste;
then add twice or thrice times its bulk OF
snow AID stir it together with = spoon
When well mixed it appears like 50 much
dry meal or snow. Try little on hot
griddle; if it cooks too dry to turn well add
more snow; if too wet to be light, add NOR 9
meal; when just right fry on the griddle in

light as can be desired.
