Those who are busy in fastening q for
eign yoke upon the Mexicsns might learn
something from the condition affairs IN st.
Domingo. That island, like Mexico, was
an ancient Spanish colony; and, shortly
after our war broke out, the Spanisrds, un-
der false pretexts, landed 8 force on the
eastern end Of the island, suppressed the
Dominican Republic, and established their
authority. Ever since then they have
been in difficulty, and for the greater part
Of the time they have been steadily fight.
ing with the Dominicans. By every ar
rival from Havana during the past year
we have had news that additional bsttsl-
ions Of royal troops we're being sent to St.
Domingo, the greater part Of whom have
been destroyed by disease and the bullets
Of the Republicans. By the news publish
ed this morning, we learn Of very lsrge
numbers of troops having left Havana, and
we are told that the government at Madrid
is determined to put down the insurrec-
ton at any cost" We have no doubt that
it has cost them more already than the
revenues Of the island will return in q CEN
tuIy and yet when the SpAnisrds seized
the country, we were told how enthusiast
cslly they we're received by the populsce
just ss we are now told how joyeusly
foreign authority is being welcomed by the
Mexicsns. If Macmillan should ever get
himself enthroned in Mexico, we venture
to say that, as with the foreigners in St.
Domingo, he will have steady and bloody
lighting with his subjects as long as he
attempts to rule them. People who have
once tasted republican liberty find colonial
bOndsgs or imperial authority very irk-
some.-N 2. Times.

hundred men and three pieces Of artillery

It is stated that when Lord PaImerstoR
heard Of the death Of Mr.. Thackeray, he
Immediately wrote letter Of oondolsnca
to his daughters in which he offered to
recommend them for pensions on the liter
ary Jund. They respectfully declined ths
offer; alleging as one amongst other res
sons for doing 50, that their acceptance Of
il would not have been approved Of ey
their father. Mr.. Thaekeray, when he
lived, always exhorted his literary brsth-
ern to rely on themselves, and 70 discard
suy notion Of ststs recognition or assist

Misses Thsckersy do not entail upon
themselves any very great denial by their

Tn. wonders of n Watch.

There are very few Of the many who
carry watches who ever think Of the COM
plexity Of its delicate mechanism, or Of the
extraordinary and uneeasing labor it per-
FERNS, and how astonishingly well it bears
ND and does its duty under what would be
considered very shabby trestment in al
most any other machinery. There are
many who think watch ought to run and
keep good time for years without even g
drop Of oil, who would not think Of run
ming q commsn piece Of machinery day
without oiling, the wheels Of which do but
q fraction of the service. We were forci-
bly, struck with this thought the other day,
upon hearing . person remark that by
way Of gratifying his curiosity, he made
calculation Of the revolutions which the
wheels in an American watch make IN
dsv and 9 year. The result Of this cslcu-
lation is &c suggestive sS it is interesting.
For example: The main wheel makes 4
revolutions in "a hours, or l, 460 In year;
the second orcenter wheel, "a revolutions
in "a hours, or $3.50 in 8 year; the third
wheel, 1872 times in twenty -four hours, or
So O8O in year; the fourth wheel (which
carries the second-hsnd), ], ,440in "a hours,
or 925,6O0 in year; the hfth, or 'scspe
wheel, 1880 in "a hours, or 4,T2s4OO

or 141, ,s12, 900 in year.-L@es'tsT n

that her daily receipts, up to the time Of
