THE CONDITION Of MEXICO. 1
. The latest dates from the city of Mexico are
to the 8th Instant. The general; tenor of the in
teEigeucc is adverse to tranquillity. Stringent
decrees had been nat hr th n ' PmMnt
Comonfbrt, especially one In regard to the press,
whieh had excited marked i discontent. Symp
toms of rebellion had appeared In many places,
but thus far the pronunciamiexips bad been easi
ly put down. . - -V I' -
Three pranunciamientos continued to occupy
public attention. The.flrst was that of Guitian
and Osollo, at Pucbla. These chieflaios, having
succeeded in corrupting a portion of the 11th re
giment, attempted a coup de main upon Puebla.
The Government, however, being advised of their
movements, dispatched a large force to the threa
tened city. The rebels, beholding the prepara
tions made for their reception, grew disheartened
and abandoned their attempt,; retreating in the
direction of Oajaca.- - ?
The second effort at rebellion by Uraga has
proved by nojneana formidable; Uraga has been
coldly received in the neighborhood of San Luis
Potosi, and has won over few partisans to his
cause. The troops of the Government are ia ac
tive pursuit of him. - (".,,''-',':.
The third movement ia that of Tepic, which, it
seems, was terminated by tbe news of the selec
tion of Commonfort as President pro tern. '

declining, HaroT. Tamaria was tb be his substi
tute. The Catholic faith was to be the religion
of the Bute, and none other was to be tolerated.
Bevcral of llaro' .'accomplices were arrested at

Trade and navigation of the St. Lawrence.
Ia letter from John Young, Esq., to the Chief
Commissioner of tbe Canadian Public Works it is
stated that the trade ofjCanada ia tending towards
the United States and to American channels to
. market, instead of seeking an outlet through tbe
St. Lawrence to the occean. The amount of Can
adian trade has been greatly increased by the re
ciprocity treaty, bat it takes a direction towards
New York and Boston, and benefits the Erie can
al and tbe railroads in the United States.',
' Anew and liberal policy was inaugurated by
' England in 1846 as regards her. North American
colonies. Prior to that time Upper Canadian
trade was poured through the rente of the St.
Lawrence and centered almost exclusively in the
tt!a of Onebee ind HontAiI. Protection to
Canadian produce in the English market ceased
in 1847. Differential duties were repealed in the
same year. The St. Lawrence canals were open-
ed for traffic in 1849, and in the same year the
United States drawback and bonding bill -came
Into operation. Canadians could thus import for
eign goods through tbe United States in bond and
ah!n Canadian nrodnrfl alWa in bond for exnofta-
(Ion at United States Atlantic ports. . . ;
The exportation of cereals from Canada into
the United States had before been very trifling id
amount, but it increased in 1854 to an amount e- j
qrual to 762,575' barrels of flour.
Toe total value of imports into Canada from the
United States was increased from $5,724,806 in
1649 to S1T.8Q0.739 in 18SV v I
The reciprocity treaty hair, according to Mr.
Young, insured to the advantage of trade with the
United States; while the St. Lawrence has failed
to attract any American vessels on the upper lakes
- through that river to the ocean. . i j . '
The SL Lawrence was made free to Ameriawn
vessel uy inai treaty, oui not at too h Aocncia
ahipping has as yet chosen this routo. In order
to attract trade from American to Canadian chan-
d!s Mr. Young recommends, first, the enlarge
, ment of tbe Wetland canal; and, second, the con
struction of a canal to connect the St. Lawrence
with take Champlalh. f f ; 4 M ' '
J But it ia to be doubted whether these improve
meets would divert trade from the natural chan
nel whicn it has taken under the reciprocity trea
ty. Ouf Atlantic cities must continue to be the
depots and entrepot-of Canadian trade; f

States had made a treaty with tbe Shah of Persia
guaranteeing bis territory - on the Persian Gulf,
says that no such treaty baa been made, yet it is
certainly true that most friendly advances bavo

Shah, a suspension of Persian diplomatic relations
with England bad taken place.

at that point. Selim Pacha was encamp d in tbe

A Russian attack on Eizeronon was not consid

BRILLIANT DESCRIPTIVE WRITING.
Bayard Taylor, who accompanied the layers
of the Newfoundland Submarine Telegraph, drop
ped a letter at Halifax for the New York Tribune,
which contains tbe following brilliant passsge:'
As we stesmed down tbe Bay, passed the gla
ring sand-hills of Coney Island, the lighthouses
on Sandy Hook, and entered the open Atlantic,
there was no swell to disturb the cheerfulness of
our landsmen and landmaidens. Tbe sea wss
blue and tranquid, scarcely rippled by the breeze,
and stretching away on tbe right to a far horizon.
On the left ran the iron beaches of Long Island,
not now loud ami terrible with tremendous break
ers, but gleaming as sflif behind their Jeathery
kern of surf as if they had never known a wreck.
The hills of Nevcrsiuk gradually faded behind us
as we went easward; tho White House of Rocka-
way came and receded : and still tbe ocean
was smooth as an inland lake, the sky fair as a
dream of the tropics, and our goodly company
sparkling with smiles of self-gratnlalioo. Even

rickes, which we passed at sunset, did not excite
tbe apprehension of the roost timid. A cliff of
crimson cloud, which overhung the descended
sun, gradually fell and spread along tbe Long Is
land coast, heavy with electric beat, and for two
or three hoars we had a superb display of light
ning pyrotechnics. Quivering sheets of golden
flame, darting hither and thither, seemed flaying
at hide-and-seek behind the clouds ; javelins of white
brilliance were hurled from the loopholes of thei
frowning bastions', the rush, the assault, tbe re
treat, the dance of triumph, followed each other
in rapid succession, until the bank of clouds rose,
rolled towarda us, and broke into sheets of warm
rain. ' . . ' .

' APPEAL FOB THE POOR A
The following eloquent poem In praise of those
who give to th poor, weope will serve, at this
incleme ' season, to awaken a spirit of emulation
among tbe ber volst. . There are, indeed, at this
time maty suCerers who need a helping band, and
whose mate appeals should not pass unregarded.
Tbe charity which begins at borne is at best bnt
another phrase of selfishness; that which extends-
to the poorer neighbor does honor to humanity,
and ia worthy to be celebrated in immortal verse.

An hall ! all hail I whose praise shall I,
Thb winter morning, sing 1
The praise of wealth, of heraldry.
Of warrior, bard, or king 1
No, no I I leave the task to those
Who ponder volumes o'er;
I sing the friend of human woes.
The man who helps the poor.
All bail ! an bail I my muse shall not,
With sonorous acclaim,
The pride of station, world-begot, .
In coy obeisance name;
I laudythe unpretending man.
Who passes near my door.
Wholessens anguish, while be can,
iy ho giveth to the poor. :
All haU i all bail ! No Latin phrase,
Nor euphonies of Greek, ;
Nor contents of Athena's vase,
' My poising thoughts shall seek, -To
raisa the prompter of mankind,
The man of simple lore,
Who sees and spares the phrensiod mind,
Who giveth to tbe poor.
All hail! all hail! Shall I reflect
Upon tbe laurel wreath '
That crowns the brow of intellect,
Glist'ning In honor's breath 1
Nay, be tbe bumble one my theme,
Who has the fame in store,
Compaaaion's impulse to -redeem,
In giving to tbe poor.
All hail ! all bail ! Like choral chime
Beneath the minster's roof,
His praise shall fill the arks of time
Who gilds the mourner's woof;
His praise the echoing skies return,
When life's great chase is o'er,
Who raises those that weep and mourn,
Who giveth to the poor. "
All bant all hail ! No clarion voice
My song of triumph hath,
To sound the victor's paltry choice,
. Who lives o'er fickle breath;
I sing of one, who treads unseen.
Misfortune's sunless floor
Who steps bis God and woe between,
Who giveth to the poor.
All bail ! all hail ! The trumpet peal
That lauds the worldly great,
My humble verse shall not reveal,
Nor fame's translucent state;
I shout the praise of him who hies
Tbe sinking to restore
Who soothes his brother's miseries,
Who giveth to the poor.
All hail ! all bail I No deities
Of Thesealy or Rome,
Shall hover where but human ties
Engage in "kingdom come ;"
' I sing tbe psalm of life for bim
Who tarries to deplore
' Tbe weak and blind, tbe vista dim,
Who giveth to the poor.
All bail ! all bail ! Like matin bells.
Sweet music of the morn,
The melody of mercy tells,
To heavenly courts up borne,
Where be, the lriend of man, has stood,
: Ungirt with worldly lore.
To bless the earth's great brotherhood
Id giving to the poor.
All hail I all hail I Though here no arch
Of tapestry and gold ;
Though star, nor crown, the giver's march
In glaring lights unfold,
He walks the pave of courts divine,
If Christian, Health, or Moor,
Who bids the sun of comfort shine,
Who giveth to the poor.
All hail ! all hail I Whose praise shall I,
, This wintry morning, singt
My lute is yearning to reply,
In Sabbath offering,
I sing the praise of him who gives -
His Maker to adore,
Who giving here, for heaven lives,
Tbe man who helps the poor.
INTERESTING FROM ROME.
, We gather the following from a letter In the
(N. J.) Advertiser, dated Rome, December 21
The venerable widow of Louis Philippe, who
has been seriously ill at ber charming winter res
idence in tbe neighborhood of Genoa, is, I am
bappy to say, convalescent. Her sons, Prince de
Joinville and the Duke d'Aumale, have, in conse
quence, set out on a visit to Eagland, via Genua
ny.
Mr. Fillmore, who is accompanied by Dr. Foote,
of Buffalo, formerly Minister to Austria, still lin
gets at Florence, but is expected to reach this
city next week. Among the American winter
residents in the country I notice the name of the
senior editor and proprietor of tbe New York
Herald. The weather bas become freezing cold.
Most of the streams of tbe Peninsular are closed
with ice, and the bills are everywhere covered
with snow. It is confessedly tbe severest wiuter,
thus far, experienced in Italy in twenty years.
The fete of the Immaculate Conception, which
commenced on the 8th, was protracted to the 15th
an octave of sacerdotal festivity. To signalize
the occasion the Pope declared a jubilee, and ac
corded full indulgence from tbe first day to the
13th, Sunday of the Advent
The Holy See is seeking to fortify itself by
calling in counsellors from abroad. At tbe Con
sistory of thfi Sacred College, on the 17th Inst.,
four new cardinals were created, who are to re-
aide at Rome, viz : Archbishop Villecourt of Ro-
chelle, in France tbe septegenarian doctor who
Dronouaced the declaration of tn Immaculate
Conception, an act of divine inspiration, superse
ding the necessity of all historic evidence the
Archbishops of Vienna (Rauscher) and of Mu
nich, (Reisach,) and Mgr. Gaude, Procurer Gen
eral of the Dominicans. Four other prelates, 1
am weS assured, have been designated for pro
motion at tb next Consistory in March, viz
Mgra. Pietro, lata .Apostolic Nuncio at Lisbon,
Medici, the Major-domo of Hi Holiness, Gian
Buzzi, Auditor of the Chamber, and Grasselinni,
pro-legate of Bologna. Tbe promotion of the
French prelate, beside being highly fit ia Itself,
is held to be a capital stroke of policy, since it
, conciliates the Easperer Napoleon, who has enga
ged to pay the expenses of tbe installation, esti
mated at 80,000 franca.' His Eminence will be
tbe French counselor of the Holy 8ee in the Sa
cred College, and thus receive the usual salary of
resident cardinals, $4,000, besides perquisites. -

BRIGHAM YOUNG'S INFLUENCE IN UTAH.
The Salt Lake City Deseret News says: Brig-
bam Young is the only man that can govern Utah
to the satisfaction of the people. We do not wish
wholly to discourage those gentlemen who may
be plotting and scheming' in order to obtain polit
ical distinction and preference in Utah ; let them
work out their own- discomfiture and disgrace.
and they will then fee! as tbe nigger felt after lie
had been whipped so much the better, after
they are done smarting. We recommend all peo
ple henceforth to mind their own business, and
leave Merraonism to those who can hsndle it. for
sll its opponents who have yet entered tho field
are notoriously incompetent to touch its interests
in sny manner. The Latter Day Saints are known
to be in good bands ; their destiny is with the Al
mighty. It is his power and influence that has
placed Gov. Young in his present honorable sta
tion, and he will keen them therein as long as it
is expedient. Tbe Lord bas given him sufficient
wisdom to cope with tbis generation ; no matter
i i what position he may be placed, be is equal to
every emergency, tie is a perfect master or t ne
ology In all its branches; ss a politician he is un
equalled; as a tactician, be cannot be excelled
His influence over tbe people is a hnndrcd per
cent greater than that of any o'her Governor, in
the United 8tatei, and both saints snd sinners en
dorse him as the most honorable man in all the
country.

The Annals of Southern Mrthodism, for 1853,
will be a 12 mo. volume of not less than 360 pager "
well printed, from stereotype plates, upon coo! "
paper. It will contain .all available statistics ia
every department of the operations of the
METHODIST EPISCOPAL CHURCH, SODTIL L
The design embraces the Plan of Episcopal vUi
tation; accounts of the sessions of sll the Confer
ences held tn IS65, the appointments, numbers, 4cj
a summary or all reported revival, notices of the
dedication of new Churehes; reports of College
Commencements, with all ele connected wti our
educational movements! a resume of our Mission
ary operations, embracing whatever seems of gene
ral Interest in that department ; the movements of
the Tract and Sunday School Societies; whatever
appertains to r publishing Interests, with an
nouncements of all New Books published by our
Concern, or written bv Southern Methodists ; what
the Church is doing for the Instruction of Slaves
Historical and Biographical Essays; interesting
personal re miniscences i snd a miscellany of im
portant facts and incidents.
THE "ANNALS."
It is believed, will be a fair and full daguerreotype of
the progress of Southern Methodism.
It will occur to you st once, that if 1 have rue
ceided in preparing this volume with anv reasons"
ble amount of skill, it will not only be a very agree
able book for present reading, but that every year
will add to tu value aa showing the posture of Sou
thern Methodism at this particular juncture of lie
history.
THIS DIGEST
Will be specially valuable as a Book of reference.
To whatever question of general in' ore! may arise
in regard to tbe events of 1855, it Is hoped that a
satisfactory answer wilt be found in ihe Annals.
While it is believed that the Ministers in our
Church will desire copies as soon as they can be'
obtained, I have paid regard to the what I suppos
ed the taetcsof general readers. The older mem
bers of the Cburi:h wiil find sketches" that carry
them back to their earlier compeers, as in thisde
partment 1 have not restiictcd myself to the histo
ry of the year, but have collected whatever hns ap
peared during tho year, which, aa h'story and biog
raphy, preserves the memoirs of the olden lime,
and of the early men of Southern Methodism.
The work will be published at One Dollar a copy.
Those who subscribe in advance, shall receive the
first copies issued from the press. A cd dollar
pasted in a letter can be- sent securely and is pref
erable to bills of distant anks. Those of the banks
in North and South Carolina will be as good as gold.
In return a copy will bo sent well wrapped and pre
paid. Sly address Is (jold.-boro . IN. C

PATENT CHRONOMETER ENGINE.
'pHIS ia an improved Steam Engine fcr which
i Letters Patent were granted to John A. Reed.
of New Yoik, Jan.;0. 1853. The nature of this
Improvement consists of the increase of power
about 20 per cent., and reduci.ig the weight of tbe
Engine one hair. The saving of fuel is etJeeted by
letiine the steam in on both sides of the cylinder;
doubling the size of the port, and balancing the
T: ,v. r .. i r r .i.
slide valves, eccentrics, cross heuds, connecting
rods, dj-c. The exceeding simplicity of this En
gine, renders it much more durable and easily man
aged than any other, and when placed upon the bol
ler with wheels it is portable though effective.
These Engines received the Frst Prize Medal st
the great Exhibition in Paris. Theie-re now about
Seventy-five of them in operation, all giving great
satisfaction.
