FURTHER FROM MEXIco.-Indemnityf for Property
Destroyed at Vera Cruz.-The opening mail this
morning put us in possession of still further news
from Mexico, by the English and Spanish mail
steamers at Havana. In some respects it is of an
important character. President Juarez had issued
special decree, lndemnifying, to the full amount
of their losses the sufferers by the late barbarous
bombardment of Vera Cruz. The decree of in
identification covers the whole of the property de-
stroyed, whether moveables or real estate, inside
outside the walls, belonging to friends of the
Constitutional cause. That of the friends of the
besieging party is specially excepted. For their
losses there is no naturalization whatever. From
the terms of the decree, however, it would appear
that the benefits of the extend only to those
who shall repair their losses. The certified expenses
of the repairs must be presented to the Treasury
Department. and only upon such presentment will
cognZance be taken of them. This, hard as it
may seem, will doubtless insure the reconstruction
of the city. By sort of just compensation the
indemnfcation is in all to be paid out of the
proceeds from the sale of the church property,
cOntiscated to the State by the law Of July last.
The amount of ready money thus at the disposal of
the Government we have not the means of
tanning. We presume, however, that as yet it is
small. As to the amount of property destroyed,
necessarily, in defence of the city, and by the
bombardment itself, the best authorities estimate
it at between 81 900 900 and So 900 600. 1t is ex
pressy stated however, that the losses have fallen
heavier upon the friends of the besiegng party
who are entitled to no indemnity. If this be the
case, it is probable that nearly all the sufferers
provided for in the decree will be paid sooner or
later. The decree makes no distinction between
natives and foreigners, whereby conclude that
all will be entitled to the same indemnity. For
eigners, however, will have of course far more
certain claim through their own governments.
The will of the late W. L. Burton has been ad-
mitted to probate in New Y ork, by the Surrogate,
and letters testamentary ordered to be issued to
DR.. John }. Crane, executor, and Cecilia Burton,
the testators eldest daughter, the execurix named
in the will.
The mysterious Order of 'The Tambornes'' is
attracting attention at San Antonio and Austin,
Texas, where they have obtained strongholds. 1t
seems to be lighting Order and squint at Mexico
The hteliigencer says that armed bodies of men
arrive and disappear suddenly in Austin.
The Post Office Department has re-established
the post Office at Pierceland, Howard county, Md.
IMPROVED INKsTAND.-Mr. Walther has placed our
table of his metallic nksands advertised in another
place. 1t is good, firm substantial article without
any modern machinery about it-having receptaces
for ink, each with hinged cover and bowl for sponge
1t is affair which be commended for its substantial
