MEXICO. 



It is stated in the N. Y. Com. Adv. that the 

 Mexican Congress have allowed a pension ol 

 three thousand dollais per annum to the widow 

 of Guerrero. There are rumors that the par- 

 ty which supported this unfortunate military 

 chieftain will rally under the banner of the 

 exiled Pedraza. We hope, however, whatso- 

 ever the nghts of the question, if there are any, 

 may be, that the government of the Southern 

 Un.ten States will now assume something line 

 an aspect of stability. The Regislro Official 

 of February 22, contains a decree of Congress, 

 sanctioned by the acting President, Busta 

 mente, granting a pension of $3000 per aim 

 to citizen Bemardo Gonzales Angulo.

TENNESSEE. 



The penal laws of this state have, as wo learn 

 from a Philadelphia paper, recently been revi- 

 sed and amended. According to the new code 

 murder, in the first degree, is alone punishable 

 with death ; and in the second degree, to im 

 prisonment from ten to twenty^one years. — 

 The crime of stealing a iree person of color, or 

 selling a free person as a slave, is liable to 

 fr.im five to fifteen years imprisonment ; steal- 

 ing slaves the same nenally, and horse stealing 

 from three to ten years imprisonment. The 

 penalties are not so severe as according to the 

 old code, and the whole system may be esteem- 

 ed farmore humane and philanthropic than- 

 formerly. 



GOLD MINES. 



The Washington News stages that there is a 

 mine in Habersham county, Georgia, superior 

 to any heretofore discovered, ana promises to 

 inexhaustible. The editor has seen a sample 

 of the gold extracted from this mine, and also 

 some of the rock taken from it, which, from 

 appearance and weight, justifies the opinion 

 declared by those who have experimentally 

 examined it. 



A FORTUNATE LEGISLATOR. 

 Mr. Otis, of the Assembly, is the holder of

 properties and the stall. Those who have a desire to 

 become possessed of this fine breed of Cattle have Dow

 ported from England at a great expense, which her val- 

 uable properties fully warrant ; having given for a num- 

 ber of years during (lie summer months, thirty-six quarts 

 of rich milk daiiy. Hit weight on foot last May was 

 1700 lbs She is of tile Improved Short Homed Dur- 

 ham breed, of fine proportions and celebrated as a bree-

AN INVENTION. 



Mr Caleb A. Ore. a resectable boot and 



slioemaUerof PitilatMihia, residing at No. 40 

 South Ei^htlWrtet, has discovered a new 

 method nf manufacturing hoots and shoes, fo» 

 which he is about to obtain a patent. The in- 

 vention consists id manufacturing these arti- 

 » cles with but one seam, that of the boots in the 

 beel — of the shoes over the instep. So far 

 as we are able to judge from examining a 

 specimen, the new method possesses advan- 



TO OUR FRIENDS IN THE WEST. 



On the banks of the Canal, in and about Mbany. 



Twelve years ago, there ciime forib a host of Seed* 

 men, with Co&belt at their head, speaking great swell 

 ing word? — they promised much — they performed noih 

 ing. From s planting of fifteen dollars, tire present state 

 of ,.ur •Bfcli.'li. icol wilt show what good seeds, good 

 ;>H^bl cultivation will produce 



For tnWccomriiodatiou of our customers as above, we 

 iniet>d, (nothing extra preventing; to open a Seed, Plan* 

 nniJ Flower Root Store, at No 347 North Market street, 

 on the 6th day of April next, opposite the building into 

 which thf post office is to be removed on or before the 

 1st of May, within a lew doors of the Museum, and within 

 piskol shot of the five banks. The business it* Albany will 

 be conducted by one of my sous, and the store supplied 

 withthe same goods, and at the same prices at which we 

 sell in New York. As we derive our supplies more oi 

 less from every quarter of the globe, we think it will be 

 a facility to the agriculturist, as well as profitable to 

 the concerned. If ihey will keep pace with the ability, 

 and Prmi !ence smiles on the undertaking,! see nothing 

 to prevent its arriving in a few years to the same exten 

 *ive footing in Aluany as the mother store in New York 

 for, u bile the rich in our city purchase the flowers and 

 the blossoms, and the rivers and the ocean carry our seeds 

 to every clime, so in Albany the taste wants only food, 

 and riches art' already thare in abundance: while the 

 canal conveys 'he seeds to the Lake Superior, the great 

 Western Ro-id will transport them far towards the set- 

 ting sun. Nothing that g od seeds and attention tobus- 

 iuess can pe'form, will be wanting on our part to meet 

 the public expectation

 able vegetable)'; Bishyp's early Dwarf Prolific Peas,

 was their reputation, that tbey sold for one guinea per 

 pint j they are remarkably early, very productive, anJ 

 grow only twelve inches hieh — should be planted three
