superintendent of Mr.. Martin, where he ex-
pressed himself equally delighted.
\ kind friend who was present when their
EXcelIencies and DIR. Milne visited the Mico,
has furnished us with a few additional particu-
lars -
Sir Henry was received by Mr.. Martin, the
Superintendent, who conducted the distinguish
edparty throughthe Library the Students Dining
Hall, Dormitory, and the Infant School. In pass
ing through the Students Room, His Excellency
spoke to one or two Of them, asking questions
with regard to their studies. AS the children
were at play, the working of the Schools could
not be seen, and the Governor would not allow
them to he diStnrhAd. His ExeaIlencv, after q
few questions, intimated his intention of return
ing and spending a longer time; and that he
was very much g%ratifed at what he had seen.
His Excellency has requested DR.. Milne to
prepare some practical suggestions for the gui-
dance of this Government in propagating the
interests of a sound education throughout the
Colony, and His Excellency could not have
confined this important task to more important
hands than the Revd. DR., Milne.
The Police under Inspector Marine, were
Inspected by Sir Henry too. AT the close of
the inspection his EXcellency expressed him
self highly delighted with the general appear
ance of the men, and complimented them upon
having an Inspector of such experience and
ability. We are glad to learn that his Excel
lency had such an opportunity Of observing
what proper discipline in our Police Force can
accomplish under a gentleman universally not
ed for his urbanity and kindness while duty
and devotion to the interest of the Grown are
features no less remarkable in his history.

forces opposed to the Liberals, who were still
In arms against the newly-erected Empire, but
the attitude of the United States encourages
them to persevering resistance. The Emperor
Macmillan, in view of the straitened position
of the public treasury, has iSsued,a decree on
the lot Nay last, reducing lis UlYfl list from one
million and a half of dollars to five hundred
thousand, and his Majesty moreover recon-
mends the ~strictest economy in every depart
ment of the Government. The Railway from
Vera Cruz to Mexico is progressing rapidly to
completion.
CUBA.
General Don Francisco Eersundi has been
appointed Captain General of Cuba, and was
expected to reach Havana at the end of last
month. Great efforts are being made in this
island to procure a political reform and Repre-
sentative Government, and it is expected that
the desire of the people will be responded to
by the mother country.
1IAYTI.
By last accounts from this Republic we are
glad to notice that it was in the enjoyment of
