MEXICO. Oct. 10.-FOr a score of years at least or
ever since N. Miguel Lerdo de 1ejada. brother OF Mr.
.Juarez's present premier compiled his statistical
chart Mexico has been without a census exhibit,
and it is presumabe that many of the figures OF
that able gentleman were calculations based upon
well-wOrn data. OF late years nothing has been so
rare trustworthy statistics of the Republic, and
until Mr.. Bias Balcarcel. the Minister of FOmento
Industry, ordered his census Mexico knew
next TO nothing of her status numeri-
cally. Even the census just taken seems
impeachable in view of the fact that the
capital, which of all other centers of population
should be most crowded, counts less than 10000;
whereas. according to the estimate of 1851, it had
10000. The population of Mexico in that year was
766,52O according to Mr.. Lerdo but now it is com
puted at 90S9254, leaving us to account what niiu-
ences notwithstanding the decline of Mexcos great
est city have contributed to swell population which
some thought had rather decreased than increased.
The present population, it may be, has been wrongly
stated, Judging from the estimate of population III
the Federal District the great bulk of which should
belong to the city. The following table shows how
the pOpulatiOn of the Republic is now distributed:

gIaHIS Society, which confines its bust
a ness exclusively to assuring the lives
of persons resident 10 the West Indies,
presents advantages such as no other AS
Surance Company, %labouring IN the same
field, can offer. It's scale of Premiums,
although considerably lower than that of
any other Company, has nevertheless been
found quite adequate TO provide for the
risk of life in the West Indies, and suffi-
cient to create large SURPRISES, out Of
which Reversionary Bonuses averaging
% per cent per annum upon the amount
assured have been distributed among the
Members of the Society.
Its career, during a period Of 80 years,
has clearly demonstrated the fact that the
lives of persons residing in this part of
the world, are, when carefully selected,
almost as valuable as those inhabiting
Europe, and that they do not demand
such excessive Premiums as are charged
by every other Company.
The following abridged Table shows
the Premiums required TO assure 500,

FELIX FIGUERDO.
The Spanish Steamer of War Cadis arrived
at Havana on the 3rd from Spain with 1000
fresh troops which had mostly been sent to the
seat of the insurrection, leaving Havana to the
mercy of the Volunteers. On the gath ultimo
a column left Cibarien, and on the 25th 1000
Chassenrs left for Cienfuegos. The Govern
ment seemed to be in great need of cavalry, as

with infantry an enemy mounted, familiar with
the ground, and always ready to fly because
afraid to confront the regular troops. All the
Sugar Estates had an ample number of horses,
and it was recommended that they should be
delivered up TO the Government in order that
the immense estates might be protected. The
English Steamer Tyne, which sailed for Vera
Cruz on the 23rd, took more than one hundred
passengers, mostly Cubans. Mexico has been
considered better and cheaper than going to
other ports, where the Spanish language is not
spoken. The new British Consul at Havana,
Mr.. Dunlop, had expressed surprise that the
representations of the Consuls as affecting the
liberties of their respective citizens were not
listened to, and stated that he should make such
representations when his duty demanded it,
whatever their fate. It is said that orders had
been given to the troops to take no prisoners
but those with arms in their hands, and that
the policy of the Government was to adopt a
lenient course towards the prisoners but Span
iards of the island, reckoning among them the
greater part of the Volunteers, had no scruples,
and were eager to inaugurate an era of blood:
It was expected that a number of prisoners
would be sent to Spain, much against the desire
of the Spanish Volunteers. From Nuevitas in
telligence was received to the 25th John
Barry, an unfortunate Irishman, who had visited
the United States, and been working on a Sugar
Estate near Gibara, had been apprehended as a
prisoner, and shot the next day, without trial.
Much injury to property had resulted from the
disturbance on both sides. The rebels destroyed
the estates of Spaniards, who contributed of
their means to suppress them, while every where
the troops were not slow in following their ex-
ample towards the property of the Cubans.

THE ENGLISH SERMON TRADE.

The trade In sermons manuscript sermons sold TO
cergymen for in che pulpit IL an English Insti-
tuition, nowhere else do see them so freely ad
vertised This trade, told by the English Jour-
mails. has grown enormously within Jew years. The
newspapers which circulate more especially among
the clergy OF the English establishment have regu-
larry contained advertisements Offering original,
striking and orthodox manuscript sermons for sale,
that they are extensively used Upon this subject the
Observer OF this city truthtuly remarks that IN this
country it would impair. II not destroy any mans
usefulness in the ministry II 1t were known that he
depended upon others in any way Tor his discourses
and the grOssness OF the evh seems to be working
cure abroad. Within lew weeks a private cir
cular has Informed the clergy in England that a
periodical, to be made no entirely OF sermons, Is
about to be issued, its sale being limited to gentle
men in holy orders. This Is felt to be pushing the
system too far and the project seems likely TO bring
about a strong reaction. The Guardian, which has
been in the habit OF publishing advertisements or
this kind, declares that IL will do so no more. The
GUARDIAN says:-"f the laity once come to the con-
clusOn that preachers commonly indebted TO
others for their sermons few cergymen will be above
suspicion Only the very able or very industrious
Will be able to defy the suggestion that they TOO,
have gone into the market foe a discourse, and u
talnt of insncerlty will attach to hundreds OF eX-
cellent clergymen who have done nothing to deserve
it. For own part we have determined not to
lend our advertising columns to q system which we
are unable 10 defend. We will at least practice, at
q loss to ourselves, what we preach.r
