Op Banday morning last I witnessed one of the prettiest sighte imaginable. The ship Mary Merrill, of Portland; schooner Mary D. Lane, of New York; and a Spanish bark, witb all their sails set, and with their colors fiying, passed the wharf al) abreast of each other, and +0 close together that a chip’s topsail would have extended from the deck of the ship across that of the schooner to that of the bark. ‘At first the schooner seemed the fastest sailer, but, ap- parently unwilling to leave her larger consorts, ‘‘ dropped her peak,” the other two going ahead, the Mary Merrill taking the lead; as she approached near the Moro Castle the schooner again hoisted her peak, quickly overhauled the Spanieh bark; but as long as I remained watching the vessels the Mary Merrill maintained the lead she had ob- tained. Iam not particularly fond of aquatic sports, yet must confess that this relative trial of the speed of the three vessels deeply interested me; my heart fairly leaped ag I beheld the pretty little Mary D. Lane pass the large Spanish bark. There was such a difference in their appear- ance, too! The schooner newly painted, with her rigging all tanght, and her sails of a snowy whiteness, was rea‘ly pretty sight to behold, whilst the Spaniard, with her clumsy build and dingy hue, and ber sails of a rusty brown color, excited no pleasurable emotions, I startled 2 Spanish friend by exclaiming rather loudly, as I noticed the schooner pass the bark, ‘ Hurrah for old New York!”” Those odious hateful hoops attached to the ladies dresses, have been at length introduced into this city. The lady ‘whom J lrst observed wearing them is an American, from Boston, ‘Man is an imitative animal,” woman also, I would add, for our city belles have followed the fashion set by this lady, and the hoops and crinoline are met with each evening in our promenades. It is scarcely pos- sible to say what is inside of the hoops and crinoline, such is their immense circumference. One can no longer walk clove enough beside a pretty girl and address sme flatter- ing nonsense to her ear, without speaking in a tone go loud that La belle ‘on the young lady’s other side is able to hear each syllable one utters, ven the staid, sedate editor of the Diaro de la Marino has been compelled to is nuisance. Pray, ladies, pardon the last harsh it slipped from my pen unawares—“but what is Hear, though, what our Spanish editor says word writ, ie writ.” ubout the crinoline jn article Every well educated writer ought to commence een said ailacking the crinoline; but, ob, dear! so much has ‘so much written! "And to what end? na rence of t &t the criticism, irony an reas ! But we muit leave them in their gre: e muslins, silks and moires i p the pavements of the ihe domestic brooms of the people cleanse the streets. Rather severe are these observations, are they not? But what effect they will produce remains to be secn. There is a perfect fever of excitement existing here at present in relation to banks and joint stock companies in general; thus we have an association that will build you a house, and another which will undertake to rent it out, collecting the rent regularly, without giving you the trou- Die of attending to it. The J*rensa newspaper a few days * since satirized the prevailing mania—for such, in reality, it follows » ined to wao are —i a brief article, which I will translate.’ It reads as Boxes ann Associations.—All these Money rans like Niagara Falls, Dail fresh iden (o form a new society, a . before we are aware of it, a plan will be proposed Anew association to Kill dogs in the middle of the night, sure we have dogs enough at euch an hour; another asso: ion to breed chickens, and another to fatten'turkeys. ‘The ka, societies and money boxes are in fashion; and we have noting wo do Dut w conform to the capriges of the despotic deity Banks are ig establiched in the various towns of the island; even Guiness, a small town with not above six or eight thousand jnbmbitants, Las sent forth a prospectus for a bank: The latest association tntroduced to the public is called “The International Insurance and Banking Association.’’ The capital is to be one million five bundred thousand dol- lars, oe half of which is subscribed by some large mone: association in London; the other half has been subseril in this city. The old English house—the Morrisons—are the directors here. Before the prospectus had been fairly made public all the amount of capital was subscribed, and before twenty-four hours had olapsed twenty per cent pre- mium was paid upon shares that bad been to be allotted to certain favored parties.

In 1866 France exported to America goods and merchandise to the amount of three handred and seventy-five millions of francs; two hundred and thir- ty ix millions of thie amount were for private French houses, In this amount the value of goods sent from France to California, which would be avout ten millions more, is not included. ’ Sueh, in fact, is the importance of thie great transfer and movement of goods that we hope we shall be pardoned tor the dryness of the details we are about to give, in or- der to illustrate the category and condition in which our productions will be placed under the new tariff. ‘Those productions may be classed in the following man- neri= Fire Clats—Our productions admitted on paying a duty of thirty per ad calorem.—4slass, cut gn, wines, brandis, Meobol, liquors, table fruits, dried fruits, con- fectionarice, mahogany furuiture, ebony ditto, rosewood aitto, Second Clast.—Our greris which will be admitted on paying co duly of MW per cent ad calorem.—Woollen clothe, cotton do.; unbleached, bleached, printed, painted or dyed goods for use, such a® glass and crystal, plain and not cut, tannol *kine, fashionable goods and artdcial flowers, pen- dulom and mantel clocks, volatile oils and essences, and yasteboard, metal tools and metal works, jewelry of gol Lor precions stones, perfumes and soaps, corks, trys and playthings, dyed silks, taixed medicines, plated ware, ladies’ dree feathers, furniture of common w ood.

FROUKESS—A NEW Cnwar, ‘We have received tles of papery from the city of Mexico to the 4th of April. The intelliv. ence is uot important. ‘The Mexican Fatraordina”’y publishes the following cor. respondence from Maz',an, dated March 20, showing the state of mining Oper”ions in the State of Sinaloa:— ‘The westerD COst of Mexico, along its seaboard and the rich slopes of "ue Sierra Madre, have of late enlisted much observatiop—not only in & commercia! point of view, but for the developement of her mineral resources. Nature bas here spread out her treasures with a lavish hand. A fine climate, fertile soils and exhaustless fields of rich ores, al- lure the adventurous. Tn truth, Sonora, Arizona and Sina- loa have, throughout their whole extent, deep beneath mountain ridges and river courses, one continuous chain of gold and silver lodes, Hitherto, the Apache Indians, impassable roads, and the numberless pri- vations of the frontiers,’ have conspired to make much of the territory ‘forbidden ground, and its pune wealth is as gar ee as is the Tomb of the y eyes Such researches, however, a3 have been ate seen incontestibly that Mexico has mines of priceless value, sufticient even to purdhase Cali- fornia with her mountains of gold. A day or two since, I was informed by a gentleman of undoubted veracity and distinguished position, of a gold vein, which seems almost fabulous. It is situated in the State of Sonora, to the north of Hermocillo. He saw the gold himself, which had been severed from the original lead by a machet. It weighed nearly one pound, and was pure gold. But, not only do the richer metals abound in this province of Mexico, but there are abundant ores ef copper and quicksilver, ‘Coal has been discovered in various localities; but its traecom- mercial value is not known, simply because the wauts of trade have not, iu these sparsely populated dis- tricts, created ademand. Traces of iron also are seen everywhere, and yet awaits exploration. Within the last year several enterprises haye been commenced in the of Sinaloa for the better developement of long estab- lished mines. Powerful machinery has been secured and erected in the most substantial style; and if they prove successful, capitalists will be disposed to imitate these experiments, for there are numberless opportunities for their so doing. The Gopsala mine, known to you for its richness, is the first to get into operation. They were com- pelled to abandon it formerly, for the reason that macates Were insullicient to free it from water. The main shalt is, some 150 feet deep, with a deepage of near 100,000 gal- lons of water per day. The machinery now keeps the mine clear by just turning over its cet , as Tam in- formed from ‘reliable sources. The intelligent owners are reaping a rich harvest, even at the present hour. Success attend them, Also, the Tajo mine, of which you will find an account in the Universal Dictionary, iblished in your eity, is now being worked by its owners. it contains at present, much water, but there is little doubt that within two months the whole of it will be dis- charged. The untold opulence of this mine in former times is not only traditionary, but is incorporated in the mineral statistics of Mexieun history. The present proprietors have erected a most complete and effective mass of machinery, and proposéto test, not only the problem of its drainage, but the value of its ores. The main shaft is 280 feet deep. When the mine was worked, in 1821-26, one malacate kept it free from water; therefore there can be but little deepage. Still another enterprise is afoot. Machinery is now being built for the Panico mine. ‘These works have been in successful operation for years, and are noted for their extent of ore, though not of the richest quality, yet, being in great abundance, are in my opinion the more valuable. The machinery, I learn, has been patterned after the most approved models, and is of ample nsions, being built by J. & P. Donahue, of San Francisco, whose reputation is asure guarantee of its excellent quality. The foregoing are but a few examples of the many like projects which are daily enlisting the warmest commendations. Though the true well-wisher of Mexico sees much to regret in the prevailing disregard shown to her provident resources, Btill there is much reason in the active present to ensure & brighter future. Your valuable paper, I rejoice to ace, is steadily pointing out to the citizens the path to power and independence, by fostering the genial influence of com- merceand the liberalizing effects of international inter- course.
