Hm design was to settle permanently in, that country, but he ha just returned, after several months njuurn there, and gives a rather unfavorable ac count of the impressions produced bjr hi visit, lie waa accompanied by a party of thirty two emigrants, who all started im mediately , lor Corduva, situated in a dis trict which is said to be the richest an I most beautiful part of Mexico. They found the ac.commodatiooa fur traveling wretch ed. 'and ilinie were1 obliged to proceed on foot. Mr. Pink visited the plantation of dr, II u Kiock, four miles Imra Carlatta (General Price's settlement,) on the main read from Vera Cruz to the city of Mexico. Mr.'Fmck's plantation he pronounces the finest one he met with. He has about 100 acre in coffee,. some specimens of which have been left with us. It appear to be of superior quality, and we understand that it has taken a premium in England er Java. Mr. Fmk sprot several days . here in looking at the country, and wat hi.vnitably entertaiiied.

Returninz from a visit to New Orleans, we were fortunate enough t secure a pas sage in a steamboat with few passengers. : Among the ladies, one especially interest ed us. She wis' the widow of a wealthy planter, and was returning with an only child to her ftl'ie'r home.

The confusion which ensued attracted the attention of a genllerean who was in the forward part of boat reading a newspaper. Rising Ivastily, he asked fur Some article the child had worn. The nune han led him a tiny apron ahe hd torn off in her effert t retain the child in her arm. ,Turning o a splendid NewTtfundlauddos that was eazerly watch ing his countenance, he p5nted first 6 the I'pion, and then to the i-pot where the child had gone under. ..."

' Dr. Fo gate, who has made the causes of crime a study, has loind tht besides "rum and ig norance there are others quite 'ai'1 potent and prevalent. He enumerates among these the luilowing: v ' ' i ( ?.' . ' The cheap literature of the day, spread broad cast uver the land, ministering to a depraved sensuality, or the appetite of a mere mental dissipation.'

' ; ' The San Francisco Bulletin has the fol lowing: l v . u . , ' ; .... tXg , " One day last week, as the Los Angel os and San Jose stage coach was traveling in the night between San Luis Oimpi ;and Santa Barbara, an incident occurred which produced anything but a pleasant impres sion among the passengers. : t ';-.; ' A lady was occupying one of the front seats,' and the whole company had been talking' and singing in the most sociable thinner. 'After a time the lady settled ddwn as if to go to sleep, and one of the gentlemen passengers asked her if she would not have a pillow under her head. She made no reply, and the company indulged in another song; As the song ceased one of the passengers opened the curtain so as to let irr the moonlight, and looking down auhe lace of the woman exclaimed, ". Why, can it be that she sleeps with her eyeso peu ?" Another passenger placed his fjand upon her forehead, and cried put, " she is dead!" . ' , . i The stage was stopped, and the inani mate pulseless form of the lady carried out in the open air. She was deathly cold, and her face was wet with'lhe cold sweat supposed to gather only on the face of the dying. After so long a time passing that all hopes of life remaining was giveu up, she recovered under the vigorous rubbing with whiskey in: which all the passengers had engaged, and the journey was finally resumed. It tutntd out that the lady was afflicted with heart disease, and had the discovery of her condition been delayed a little longer, she would have been past all human aim." ' ' . " I'll Cau Aropso and Pay." What a world of woe .contained jo these few Wo-ds to the poor ariiian" ahdmechartic H? I'll call around and pay," sty the rich man, to avoid the trouble of going to the dek to get the necessary ; fund, and the poor mechanic is obliged to go fiome to diap po'nt hi workmen, and all who depend up on h;m for their due. It is an easy matter io work ; the only real glory in'ihis lite is an indeper. lent idea of be ng able to sus tain yourself y the laor ol your own hands, and it may be easily imagined what crush ing force "there is in, I'll call around and pay,' to the laboring man who depends on mat pay forsubsistence. If those wlui coulil pay would pay at once, it would p!a-e hundreds and tbon-and in a condition to do I kewise, and would prevent much mis ery and distrrss. Tub Jkw i Eraope.wGreat i'lterest is estted "among the Jews in France by the approaching election for a chief rabbi of the Central Consistory at ramthe Jew ih archtip he is frequently called. A Kusian nntnal paper state that the rsb- bin cal Jews in Russia poses six hundred mr fifteen svnagixgues and two thousand four hundred . and thirty-five oratories, to which five thousand and one hundred reli gious olBi ial are attached. The Caraites, who are only to be met with in five gov- eminent, htve lourteen synagogues and firty-six religiou oihcials. Of six million hree hundred and thirtv ix th'ua.d soul, Composing the pr puh lion of Poland, the Jews are above tevin hundred ihous-md, eleven per cent, of t' e whole. In many of the towns the Jei'r population preponderates, but few Jews vro found in the rural districts. A tenible tragedy occurred in Mvrt gumery" county, Ueorgia, im Sunday t.t" !at wek." Allred Morrison plungrd a kt. im into the bosom of Seaborn Hall, inf!.c!ir:g a mortal wound. Levi Hall, broti er ol Seaborn, tin to separate them, but was tm late. Levi then immediately drew a pis tnl and sent a bullet through the brains r.f Morrison, killing him instantly. The af fair took place at Bell Feiry, on Oconee river.
