PROSPECT OF WAR BETWEEN ENG
LAND AND MEXICO. advices
from London state that the receipt of
intelligence from Mexico that the
Government has determined to repu-
diate the debts of foreign countries
except the United States, has given
rise to On intense feeling of indigna-
ton in the English Government.
The reason assigned by Mexico for
the adoption of such q course is
revenge upon the nations of Europe
for the recognition of Maximilian.
England, however, not having fol-
lowed the rest of Europe in this hasty
proceeding, is consequently doubly
affected by the new Mexican policy.
The Government, it is said, is now
seriously contemplating the fitting
out of feet to take possession of
the ports of Mexico and hold them
until satisfaction is given. This, it
is thought, can be done without an
infringement Of the Monroe doc
trine, as the expedition will not be
permanent in its nature, and does
not contemplate the acquisition of
territory, but will be merely species
of reprisal against the Government
as an indemnification for debts due
to British subjects. 1t is also under
stood that France, though consulted
has declined for the present to parti-
cipate.

Pope Plus TX is described rs very
good-looking man, with wonderfully
graceful manners, stout and corpu-
lent, though of very agreeable exte-
rior, and clothed as he is in white,
from the shoes to his capote, with
gilded crosses embroidered on the
fore part of his shoes, and his rich
white hair falling upon his shoulders,
he impresses those who see him first
as having an uncommonly venerable
appearance His white, transparent
cheeks become slightly colored by
the effect of the air; his face is of q
beautiful regularity, and in spite of
his aquiline nose and his rather
piercing eyes, meekness and benevo-
lonce are the very characteristics of
his features.

KERosENE.-The New York Times.

KERosENE.-The New York Times,
OF the 20th, mentions the case Of q
woman who was burned tolleath by
the explosion of > ketosenelamp. A
day. or two before they had an ac-
count of house which was destroy
ed by the same cause. And also an
account of a fire originating in q
similar way, which destroyed q large
amount of property. It would seem
that accidents from this terrible and
destructive material are nov matter
OF daily occurrence all over the cotn-
try. OF course. one-tenth, or per-
haps one-hundredth, of the accidents
caused by it are never heard of
through the newspapers. It is only
when they have fatal ending, or
when large fire is the result, that
they are chronioled. A large proper
tion of our citizens are in the habit
OF constantly using this dangerous
and explosive substance in their
houses. We know that it is said
these accidents result from careless
ness, and doubtless they generally
do; but in supplying an article for
common household use, allowance
must be made for O certain amount of
carelessness on the part of servants or
children. 1t is said, again, that this
dangerous sort of kerosene is always
impure. That also may be the case;
but what proportion, then, of all that
is sold is pure?

IRELAND. Train sums up thus:
Talk of slavery in Carolina or Vir-
ginia, in Cuba or Brazil, but that
was freedom compared with what
you see in Ireland. Slavery OF the
body is nothing; it is the slavery of
the mind. No hope. no future, no
nothing but darkness and despair.
The Protestants stole the land; the
Catholics rent it. The landlord lives
in England; the tenant starves in

One of the most curious facts dis
CLOSED in the discussions of social
science associations, was contained in
q paper read by DR.. Nathan Allen,
before the American Association, con-
vened at Boston. It is that the ma
tive population of Massachusetts, is
dying out, and that but for immigra-
tion and its natural increase, calcu-
lation could be made of the number
of years in which that State would
be entirely depopulated. It is men,
toned that whereas in 1765. nearly
one-half Of the population of Massa-
chusetts was under fifteen years of
age, not more than one-ffth of it is
under that age at the present time.
The average number of children in
American families is stated to be only
about one-third that of foreign born
families. The infant mortality is as
great in the rural districts as in the
cities, only about three-fifths of those
who are born in either arriving at
adult life. 1t is not surprising that
these statements of DR.. Allen have
startled Massachusetts,, but as the
Irish and Germans make very valu-
able accessions to the native people,
and their continued immipration and
healthful increase will prevent the
State from becoming q wilderness,
there is no cause for dependency as
to its future.
