that even some of the priests of better jtrtlgnrcrrt
have been led to believe in those v.'c-nderful attri-

formcd by virtue of their prayers and strpplica-

they find it their interest to compose lruoks for
the express purpose ofproving the time and marr-
ner in which these great miracles have bun per-
fo:-ined ; and in so doing, they conceive not only
‘ their own intere.~.ts promoted, but likewise the
most effectual mode of preserving the power of
the church and the (ligrriry of the blparrislr monar-
chy. Books of the description just m‘-.'nti0nc(l,

Abotrt ten years after whs.t the Spaniards call
.7’."re Cionqm-.«-t, the ct-lcbr-ated apparition of the
' Viz gin do Gaudalotrpe made its apptarmrcc tn the
following grrtrnrrcr‘. .-1
:"ul_iajcen't to the city of Ivlexico is a hill entire-
ly bar t'cll ; an Illtiittll, acciclt-.nt-ally passing, heard
sounds of music, and, at the saint; time, saw an
aerial fem‘.-.lc figure in a praying; attitude. The
lntliun. ‘dit‘.:‘ll’lt;(I_ttt the vision,.lled; but. passing
'ircar the bill it few days '.‘zl'ter'w'ards, the same
strange occur rence again took place. The figgure
called him by narnc, and told him to repair to the
' spot on a ccrtatin day, and he would find her pic-
ture burietl under a heap of roses; he didso. and
inct with it as tlirectcd. The Indian carried this
mysterious picture to the Bishop of Mexico, who
was of course in the secret. A solemn conclave
of the clergy took place, and the Bishop, with the
most profound verreration,knel_t before the picture
mrl nanred it .'\’eu.t.~zra Senora de Gaurlcdozz/re. A
magnriictnt chtrrclr was built for her reception,
and she rcctised the exalted title of Pzzrrouess qf
13!:-xico ; \\ hich she enjoys to the present clay.
This is. the or'i1_.;'lri ofthe Virgil: q/’-Saudulou/ze,
currforrnalrly to the rotor ds of the church now ex-
isting at Mexico. The original picture is still
cshibitctl in the \f'lr-;;in’s Church ; it is painted
upon a cloth of linen rrranulacltrre, called Utmgo-
c/za, composed of coarse tlrread spun from the
fibres~nl' the aloe, (Ag-.ava Americana) and wove
very wide apart. Tlie Indians and Creoles say the
picture is Fllit"¢<tt.:.t‘I_I“t).£IS,. because as you approach it,
the painting betitimcs less visible, and when quite
close, all traces of the picture clis:.rpp:'.rr'; their
blind superstition not p'et'mitting them to discov-
er that the open texture of the nrateriul upon
whichit is painted, is the cause of this disappear-
ance. _ _ '
A priest told the writer another circumstance
réspectirrg the Vii gin, wt-.ict~. he dcetncd ill: most
ir:'ypor'tunt part of the miracle, viz. that the picture
_ was found under a ‘heap of roses in the winter
season, andon a spot where those flowers had
never bloomed. lt netcr occurred to the priest
"that, a few leagues from the barren hill, the cli-
znzttc was quite‘diiii:r'ent, and wlrerc roses grow
thrmrgh-out the year. _Canseq‘uently,tl're persons
who painted tlIe_pict'ttre of the Virgin did not re-'
quire any celest'ia*l_a'i'cl to procure a bed of r"oses.~
In such vcneration do the Indiarrs arid lower
order of C1'eole:r(an-d indeed many of the mid-
itilingf and higher classes) holflt,
ihat may have paintings of her in an in
invoke her in all tlrcifr prayers, and impl-ii‘
assistance in all their dilliculties.
During the _religious processions which .t§rlte
place"iu the Mexican empire almost everyday‘,
for the purpose of ‘celebrating some rites of the
church, or to o'fl”ci'- hoiiiage to some of the letlllal‘
Saints, there is a solemnity and rnagniliccnct: dis-
played, admirably calculated to captivate the vol-
gar, and to gratify the vanity and impose on the
credulity or all classes of the conttttuttity. The
simplicity and purity of the Christian religion, is
lost in these p‘oiu'pons and mystical exhibitions.
The poor con‘ver_tt-tl liitlian (as he is called)4kuows
alight, about the Catholic t‘eligi0nybeytm(l. its cer-
emonies. To the images of saints and other ex-
ternals-ymbols he offers his daily lrbn'ragc, but be
is as uticr-ly tminl'm-med on the merits and pre-
cepts oflhe Christian doctrine, as any of the Pa-
gans of former ages. .
The writer was present in_ a village during "a
pr-ocession, when the inratzcs of the virgin and
sortie saints were iaken from their respective
churches into the s_L'p:arc before the principal one.
and wlrcre, accortiing to an annual custom, they
were to trrcet and exclratlg-e saluiations. These
irnageé were, by the aid of internal nrz=.cl~.inery,
made to stretch out their arms, and mid their
heads, to embrace each other, and to give other
evidences of their being alive 3 and the multitude
were in reality tarrtglit to consider this ceremony
as a‘ nriraclt-, wrought by the intervention of the
pri:-.-ts. It is, lroweve.-r, an important fact. that
during the last eighty years, a wonderful change
liars taken place among the (Ircol'e population, and-
illtlt eil, l'zo'm what we have recently observed
in many parts of Mexico, we think there is more
danger of the Mexicans run].-Lug into ir-religious
excesses, than of their continuing much longer
under the inlluenlzc of superstition.

A CURE FOR H.-YRD 'I'I.\"l/ES.
1fi.rtrac't_/ram I/rt.‘ C/large of Judge Ross, to the
Grunt! Jury qf 1".!orrtgo1.fm'y county, Penn,
4(;cnrlcmen of the_Grand Jury-~—l shall take the
lib‘:-rty of saying a few words on a subject wlrich
n‘.a'_v'nnt seem to come properly under my notice
at this ‘time. But it is so general a topic of con-
vcrsation, ~.:nd has been so ft'c(jtit:|ltl)' luttrtllctl in
the newspapers, and in panipirlets, that I think it
will not be rirniss to introduce it in this place.-
Tlie subjectto which I allude, is the hard times.
You are here, gcrrtlt.-m‘crr, fror-n the remote parts
of your county, and you have doubtless heard a
variety of causes assigned for these hard times.
Our legislature have had the subject tltlt’i(it' con-
sitiBl".ttiol'r——lhcy have talked of a loan ollicc, of
stop laws, of a law for great internal inlpl'(l\'C°
merits; and a ggreat variety of projects lrarc been
agitated by them; all to obviate these hard times.
lint their projects are all visionary; none ofthem
calculated to do the smallest good to the corumu-
nity. Congress, too, have been engaged on this
subject ; they have thought that some §_2;rc:rt
change in the tariff‘, or some important measures
for the eucotrrtrgcment ofdomestic mtxutrfactures,
would help us out of the difficulty. But all this
is perfectly idle. The projects do not strike at
the root of the matter. I may be singtrlzrr in my
views, gentlemt-rt, but. really, I have thought so
mtrch on the subject, that I can’t avoid express-
ing my sentiments, wlratever you may think of
them. I have no objections to great improve-
menta——I am, by no means. unfriendly to our own
nrantrfactures ; but then, I think ’li‘.('£t, in order to
cure the evil, we must all act individually. Lct
the work of reformation liegin at home, and I cun-
fzdcntly-belicve we shall soon get rid of the hard
times, that are so much ct.-tnplaincd of. To be
calling out for It‘f:_‘l:'-Ii'all\"€‘ aid, while we our.-eltes
arc idle, acting like the man in the fable, “ho,
st hen his wag;:on w heel was first in the ditch, cri-

their silks and cr apes. it.-stead ol their linrtcy nonl-
scy. Our young folks are too proud to b<:'seen
in a Co;rt'st: dress, and their extra ragance is bring-
ing ruin on our fanrilies. Vi-"lien you can induce
your sons to prefer _voun_o; wopit-rt for their real
worth, rather than for their .°.l*.rr\‘l-L‘; when you can
get them to choose a wife who can make a good
loaf oflrrcad, and a good pwund of butter. in pref-
ercncc to a girl who does nothing: btrt dance about
in Ilcl‘ silks and laces, then. gentlemen, you may
expect to see a clrange for the better. ‘We must
get back to the good ‘old sirrrplltzity of-—former
times, if we expect to see more prosperous r_la_vs
The time was, even since memory, when a simple
note was good for any amount of money. but now
bonds and rrror-tgrages are thought almost no secu-
rity; and, this is owing: to the want of confidence.
And what has caused this want of confitlcncc?
‘Wlry. it is otzcasioncd by the eztztraragant tnar'rrrcr'
ofliving ; by your families going in debt beyond
your ability to pay; lixamixre this matter, gen-
tlemen, and you will find the real catrse.- Teach
your_sons to be too proud to ride in a hackncy
c_oacli,_ which their father cannot pay for. Let
them be above being s¢cr.tsporti:1g- in a gig or
carriage which their father is in debt for. Let
them have this sort of ibdepemlcnt pride, and I
venture to say, that you will soon perceive a re-
formation. But, until the cliange commences’
this way in our families; until we begin this work
ourselves, it is vain to expect better times.
Now, ’g{entlernen, if you tlrirrkvasl do on this
subject, there_ is a way of showing that you do
think so, and but one way; when you return to
your hurries, have irrtlepemlence enough to put
these principles in pr-actice; and I am sure you
will not he disappoirrted. "

a report that ll): Clreroltce Indizrns are destroying
the grain, houses and other property of the white
settlers on the south side of Higltvvasse river;
and that about 30 men lrad-collected torepel their
depredations. The person from whom our in..-

in flames that had been fired by the Indians-, and
that he saw corn fields cntir-el'_y. destroyed; that
the Indians had given the white people a very

out of siglrt of land most of the way. The sight
of this island \'l as tery graicful to my feeling, and
its wild appearance presents an irrteresririg view
to a str'arrgetj.\ It is situaicd in the straits of river
Mackinaw, between lakes lluron and Iiiichigan.
Forts Eiolmes and Ma'_cltiria\v situated here, are

exhibit a beatitiful appearance front the water_.
the lorn'rci' is on the summit, near 350 feet, and
tlic latter a little below, about ‘:00 feet from the
strrface of the water. The town is directly on
the margin of the river, \Vhat added much to
the novelty of the sight, was about I300 Indians
cncamped in their wigwams, and in bark canoes
at the water’s edge. The islarrd presents the
grcare:-zt variety of scenery I eversatv in so Sm‘-Ill
a compass; and from l"o'rt I--Iolmcs yotr have a
complete view of lakes Huron and lvlichigatta
and the surrounding islands. The waters of
these lakes are as transparent as air. \-Ve came
to anchor in 18 feet water, and could see our ca-

indeed, at that depth of water, in "a calm time,
you could see a_ sixpenny piece on the bottom.

On \’v'edrres‘day last we were visited by a vio-
lent thunder gust attended with a IIC'd\y 5,-ale of
wind from the east. It came up very suddenly
about six o'clock in the afternoon and lasted up-
words of an hour. \Ve are sorry to add that al-
most all the boats at our lairtririg were sunk or
matcri-.rlly injured. Some of tlrese had valuable
czrr-goes of corn. flour, salt. bacon, Ste. :1 good deal
of which it is feztrctl will be lost. There‘ were
two keels and about twelve flat boats sunk ; three
nfthe latter belonged to Mr. Dix, from Plttsburg,
and were laden with a large assortment of various
articles, which were on sale. Two cargoes of
salt, about 500 barrels, in a keel and "a flat, were
also sunk. At one of tlreilatter we witnessed a
display of activity, which vas quite novel to us.
The boat was sunk in from '15 to 20 feet water,
anti no part of it visible. A man with a pair of
can-/:0a.('s in his band, would dive to the barrels,
affix the hooks to one of them, and rise to the sur-
face after having been under water, sometimes
more than atninutc. The barrcl was then drawn
up, and car.rit:d to the shore. 13:,’ this means a
good deal of the cargo was szived. VVe have not

denly ab'scondt:d, to the utter astoni:-zhment and
consternation of all his numerous acquaintance.
On examination into the state of his affairs with
the Batik, it appears that he had overdr-awn his
account l47,5G0 dollars I But his counsel, as we
learn, appeared on Monday before the Board of
Directors, and having admitted the fact of his de-
falcation, oll'ert-tl to assign over various claims he
held against certain persons, to the whole amoupt,
upon condition they would'l'or-ever exonerate him
from all debts and responsibilities; to which they
did not accede, not thinking them an indemnity.
His counsel was instructed to say Greene had no
‘ifears of a criminal prosc'cution under our statute
against l'rrrtrds of bank agents, as that statute was
passed subsequent to the time he began his ca-
rect‘ ; which, he says, was some live or six years
since, and which he has kept from being detected
by means of false entries. , '

_a year or a little more, has been robbed by some
one or other of those entrusted with the tnana;;e-
