Law IN MEXICO.

Mexico sets good example to Mis-
souri,. On the 18th of last November, a
gang of forty masked men tore up a
section of track on the Mexican Central
Railroad, and threw train from the
track, killing the fireman. The passen-
gers were not molested, but the um of
$4,000 in silver was taken, the appro ach
of train from the opposite direction
frightening the robbers away before
they had time to secure $4,000 con-
tained in the express safe. A week ago
seventeen of the gang were, by process
of the law, shot to death. Several others
have been captured, and as soon as con-
yicted will join the seventeen. Swift
execution of law is what deters Grim

CHEAPER SUGAR.

There is prospect that the cultiva-
tion of the beet root for sugar will be a
great industry in. England. Already a
powerful company has reestablished a
plant in West Suffolk, and success ls
confidently anticipated for several rea-
sons: First, because of the recent dis
covery of mineral called strontia,
which is said to be of the utmost value
in the process of extracting the sugar,
and which can be found in great abund-
ance in certain parts of England: Sec
ond, because of the easier methods of
precipitating the sugar than have been
hitherto known; and third, because the
new process renders it unnecessary to
send the sugar to be refined, thus as
suring an enormous saving of expense.
England, it is said, pays s10,OOO,OOO a
year to foreign countries for sugar.
The remarkable development of the
beet-root industry on the continent,
under thespur eff Government bounties,
has had serious effect on the cane
sugar industries OF China and Manila
and the West Indies. Should England
be as successful as Germany and France
have been in raising all the sugar re-
quired for domestic consumption, moi
only will the planters in the tropics be
worse off than ever, but the German
and French farmers will find them.
selves with a very large surplus on hand
and no market, unless, as is now threat.
ened, in consequence of the drain on
the exchequers, the sugar bounties
shall be reduced if not repealed.
The effect in this country will be
cheaper sugar than was ever before
known, unless the small sugar interest
in Louisiana shall succeed in obtaining
from the government an addition to the
bounty now paid by the people indi
rectly for the protection of that inter
est. Another effect may be to empha-
size the demands of the Cubans for
reciprocity treaty with the United
States, since here will be the larges
market open to the West Indian plant
ers. The gain will still be ours, since
if we are given the advantage of fret
entry into Cuba for our products
European manufact lures being still
chargeable with duty, we will show yer,
little Of our traditional smartness if W,
do not secure the trade which has beer
lost to us partly through our obstinac,
in maintaining high tariffs. Man,
scientific and practical men in England
strongly urge farmers in certain dis
tricts to make start in beet cultiva
ton; but it is we'll to note that from n,
quarter, although the chance OF compe
tition with France and Germany is no
lost sight of, comes suggestion tina
direct bounty be paid by the govern
ment to the sugar farmers, or that the
new industry be protected by specia
tax at the custom house. It is STATED
that experiments in beet raising will b,
tried at once on the farms of the Queer
and the Prince of Wales.
