FROM MEXICO.

Important Intelligence from Mexico, up to
very late date, was received here to-day The
substance OF the news is as follows: The au-
thority Of the Maximilian government is now
extended over the Whole country, aud it is
everywhere acknowledged and respected. The
Juarists have no longer any organized bodies of
troops in the field, except few hundred men
at El Paso. Many bands of gperrillas have 70.
Gently been broken up, and the roads in all
parts of the country are comparatively safe.
Business of all kinds is active aud fourshing,
and the people everywhere are devoting them
selves to industrial pursuits. Commerce with
many European ports is steadily increasing.
The popularity of Maxmiliap with the Mexican
people is universal, and nanifests itself 10 many
ways.
Baron Saillard had made arrangements With
the Emperor Maximilian for the Withdrawal Of
FIVE thousand French troops in the months Of
June, July and August next. Transports for
the purpose are to be furnished by the French
Government. The condition Of the fuanees
are satisfactory. The revenue of the country
will be thirty millions of dollars per annum.-
Work on all the railroads is being vigorously
prosecuted Correspondence " Y Nems, 12M.

RARE OCCURRENCE We have heretofore
1alIeQ 10 DOLlco the TACT CnaC tneTe was no fuIl
moon during the entire month of February.
This is phenomenon of rare and singular oc-
currence. The cause Of it is found 10 the length
of the synodic month, by which is understood
the time elapsing from one conjunction or new
moon to another, a period, according to astron-
omical calculations Of exactly 90 days, II hours,
A minutes ard 3 seconds February had onlx
% days, and the latest full moon was at $50
o'clock on the Both of January. The Synodal
period, therefore, was not completed until 7
O'Clock, A. NJ, on Thursday, March 1st There
fore February had no full moon at all, while
January and March, the m0nths preceding and
following it, each had two. It has been calcu-
lated that this peculiar phase of the moons
changes has not occurred before since the early
creation, and that, in all likelihood it will not
be known again in many thousands of years.
A WARNING TO MoTHERs-Ths Whining
ton Journal of Saturday says:-A serious acct
dent happened yesterday, which should serve
their treatment Of infants. A negro woman,
living in the northern part of the city, near the
railroad, arising early yesterday morning,
nursed her infant, placed it back in the bed,
and for fear of its taking cold, covered it we'll
an in The bed clothing She went about her
regular household duties, and thought no more
of her child until about 10 o'clock in the fore
noon, when on taking it out of bed, she found
it stark and cold-p perfectly lfesess. Thus, by
a. little carelessness, this woman DESTROYED the
very life she was so anxious to preserve.

to the extreme figure of$23O, and this price
was obtained for 10 cars buyers, how

freedom at this price, and the market be-
come very dull, and subsequent sales were
made at 1920 and S2.l5. The market clos

heavy. n -four no change from previous
prices can be reported, but the market is
very firm, with an upward tendency, especi-
ally in spring wheat grades. Corn and oats
were steady, with a moderate demand. Pro
visions remain firm with 3 fair trade in

to-day, and the market is firm. Cheese
continues dull. Petroleum IS quite and
