Property of the Mexican Church. Ey an estimate before os, the church property of Mexico is net down at the following' valuation: Real property in town and country $19,000,000 Churches, home, convents, curates, dwellings, furniture, jewels, precious vessels, &c. . 52,000,000 Floating' capital, with other funds, and the capital required to produce the cum annually received in alms 20.000,000

Total $90,000,000 An estimate entirely too small; for Gomez Farias sets down the total value at $100,000,000, which is, doubtless, neater the mark. No one, however, pretends to know the value of the coin, jewels, and ornaments belonging to the various churches, which have been accumulating ever since the establishment of tho Catholic religion, and their real estate has been constantly increasing in amount and value. They own many of the finest houses in the city of Mexico end other cities, (the rents of which must be enormous.) besides valuable real estates all over the republic. Almi'6t every person leaves a bequest in his will for mas-ea fur his soul, which constitute an incumbrance upon the estate; and thus nearly all the estates of small proprietors are mortgaged to the church. The property held by the church in mortmain is held at $30,000,000. Gomez Farias is the only man who has persevered in the movement for the confiscation of the church property. He attempted it in 1834; but was put down by a revolution. He attempted it again in 1847, and has agnin been ruled out of power. One of the best men in the country, we hope lie may live to ru e the power of the church subservient to the power of the people. To give 6ome idea of the wealth and magnificence of the church, we extract from the recent book of lion. Woddy Thompson, on Mexico, the following pictorial description of the interior of the Cathedral of the city of Mexico. Mr. Thompson says: The Cathedral, which occupies the site of the great idol temple of Montezuma, is five hundred feet long by four hundred and twenty wide, (larger than the capitol of the United States.) Like all other churches in Mexico, it is built in the Gothic style. The walls of several feet thickness are made of unhewn stone and lime. Upon entering it one is apt to recall the wild pictures of the Arabian Nights. It seems as if the wealth of empires was collected there. " The clergy of Mexico do not, for obvious reasons, desire that their wealth should be made known to its full extent ; they are, therefore, not disposed to give very full information upon the subject, or to exhibit their gold and silver vessels, vases, precious stones, and other forms cf wealth. Quite enough is exhibited to strike the beholder with wonder. The first object that presents itself on entering the cathedral, is the altar, near the centre of the building. It is made of highly wrought and polished silver, and covered with a profusion of ornaments of pure gold ; on each side of this altar runs a balustrade, or enclosing a space of about eight' feet wide, and eighty or a hundred .eet long. The balustrades are about four feet high, and four inches thick in the largest part; the hand rail from six to eight inches wide. Upon the top of this hand rail, at the distance of six or eight feet apart, are human images, beautifully wrought, and about a foot high. All of these, the balustrade, hand-rail. and images, are made of a compound of gold, silver, and copper more valuable than silver. I was told that an offer had been made to take this balustrade, and replace it with another exactly the same size and workmanship, of pure silver, and to give half a million of dollars besides. There is much more of the same balustrade in other parts of the church. I should think, in all of it, not less than 200 feet. " As you walk through the building on either side, there are different apartments, all filled, from the floor to the ceiling, with paintings, statues, vases, huge candlesticks, waiters, and a thousand other articles, made of gold and silver. This, too, is only the every day display of articles of least value; the most costly are stowed away in chests and closets. What must it be when all these are brought out, with the immense quantities of precious stones which the church is known to possess ! And this is only one of the churches of the city of Mexico, where there are between sixty and eighty others, and some of them possessing little less wealth than the Cathedral, and it must also be remembered that all the other large cities, euch as Fuebla, Guadulajara, Guanajuato, Zacatecas, Durango and San Luis Putosi, have each a proportionate number of equally gorgeous establishments. It would be the wildest and most random conjecture to attempt an estimate of die amount of precious metal tlius withdrawn from the useful purposes of the currency of the world, and wasted in these barbaric ornaments, as incompatible with good taste as they are with the humility which was the most striking feature in the character of the Founder of our religion whose chosen instruments were the lowly and humble; and who himself regarded as the highest evidence of his divine mission, the fact that to the poor the gospel was preached." .' I dj not doubt that there is enough of the precious metals in the different churches of Mexico to relieve sensibly the pressure upon the currency of the world, which has resulted from the diminished production of the mines, and the increased quantity which has been appropriated to purposes of luxury, with a surplus left to pay the cost of much more tasteful decorations in architecture and statuary of mahogany and marble." Such is the description- and such the opinions of the Hon. Waddy Thompson, late United States Minister to Mexico. We have only to say, that if the administration, then, should put all these church treasures under the law of "military contributions," it would be a vast relief to Mr. Secretary Walker, and those loans and treasury notes, to say nothing of the humanity and Christianity, or profanity, or whatever else you may choose to call it; of breaking up, demolishing, extinguishing and eradicating that oligar chy or the hierarchy. The purpose of the administration, we believe to be, to scare the clergy of Mexico to terms ; but it remains to be seen whether this threat will not have directly the contrary effect. We hope the administration may not be deceived in this particular. As a further evidence that the Mexican clergy absorb the fat of the land, and fatten upon the sweat of the people, we subjoin some of the salaries. of the church bishops, &c, as estimated in 1S02, and they have rather increased than diminished since that time, notwithstanding the exhausting civil wars that have wasted the resources of the nation and the people at large, and debarred the development of the resources of the country, even to the destruction of the progress that had commenced under the slow motions of the viceroys of Old Spain : ANNUAL SALARIES. Archbishop of Mexico The Lishop of Pueblo. .... Valladolid $130,000 110,000 100,000 90.000 35,000 30.000 ÜÜ.000 19,000 Guadalajara Durango Monterey Yucatan Oaxaca Sonora l . . ... 4 6,000 The clergy, regular and secular, number about 10,000, or at least 12,000, including lay brothers of convents, and other subordinates. In 1827, the regular clergy was divided into 14 provinces, possessing 150 convents, and some 2000 friars. There are six colleges in the quasi republic of Mexico for the propagation of the faith, to which are attached some sixty-two missions, twenty of which are in Upper California a larger number, by all odds, than will be hereafter required in that section of the country, after its occupation by Col. Stevenson and his military settlers. While the church has thus been accumulating resources in the midst of a aeries of civil wars, extending through nearly half a century, including the outbreak with Old Spain, the State, up to 1612, presents the following deficit cf indebtedness: Internal debt $19,500,000 English debt United States claims and interest, say. Cupper t be rrdeerned Loans and claims CO.000,000 10.000,000 2,(M 10,000 1,500,000 $02,000,000 Add prohible expenses of the war with United States, to April, 137 i . 50,000,000 Total debt 8142,050,000 which presents the republic of Mexico to the world in the mot deplorable condition of any nation on the fcice of the earth since tho reign or terror in France.

The only hope for such a country appears to be to blot it out from the map of nations, or to re-organize it upon a liberal platform the treasures of the church to be used as a " military contribution" in the work.

Tbn flag! wer half-tnut all dar for the death of Adams. I ad ilrwmcii fliog for the reception of Hint Cl4t! So meet tht itraogeit extreme! of the p gem try of life ! Remarks of the Courier and Enquirer : But they ; tnouia not nave met on this occasion. Mr. Clay and Mr. Adams were associates at Ghent ; Mr. Clay was the Secretary of State under Mr. Adams during the whole of his administration ; their names have been indissolubly connected during thirty years of the history of our country ; and Mr. City, of all uther men, is the very one who, at this juncture, should not have deserted the honored remains of his friend. The young and the gay gave up their intended ball on the night 'of the 2"Jd ; the Congress of the nation suspended its business; the statesmen and patriots of the nation assembled in gloom and sorrow around the corpse of the venerable and venerated Adams but among them one is not whose especial business it was to be there. Henry Clay never should have left Washington, and the remains of Mr. Adams unsepulchred, to receive homage from his especial admirers at Philadelphia. It was his duty or if not his duty, surely, a decent respect for the venerable dead, required of him to remain, and to have officiated as one of tiie pall bearers at all events, to have marked by his presence his respect for the mighty dead his sympathy with the living mourners. But Mr. Clay has not thought proper so to do, and deeply do we regret it. We regret that from inadvertence the desire to meet his political friends in Philadelphia, or the wish to be there pending the contest in the city proper for the election of a delegate to the Whig National Convention should have prompted him thus seemingly, though not intrnliimaly, to Elight the memory of his friend. We regret than any man in America, should thus be furnished with the plea for charging that Henry Clay ha been wanting in respect for the memory of John Quincy Adams; and we hope yet to hear that he has returned to Washington to be present at, and take part in the funeral obsequies paid to one with whom he was so intimately connected for thirty years of his life. This is due alike to himself, to the memory of the dead, and to the just expectations of the public. As an evidence of public sentiment in Philadelphia on this subject, we may mention that on Wednesday the subject was discussed there, whether Mr. Clay could be expected on Thursday. All present, with one exception, said no. He argued that Mr. Clay would not remain in Washington to attend the funeral of Mr. Adams; when a devoted friend of Mr. Clay one who avows his determination not to give him up while he wishes to be a candidate exclaimed in a great passion : "You know nothing of Henry Clay or of the feelings which have governed him through life. I would wager all I am worth in the world that he will not leave Washington under existing circumstances ; and I will add, that if he leaves Mr. Adams now, whether he is dead or dyirig, I will leave him." Here, too, the question was discussed, and all his friends indignantly rebuked the idea that it was possibie to iorgei wnai was uue 10 me memory or ins friend and to the feelings and just expectations of the public. But so it is, and deeply do we regret that it is so. Mr. Clay should be in Washington at the funeral of Mr. Adams; and we still think that he will return there for the purpose of bearing part on that occasion. Who believes that five years ago Mr. Clay would have left Washington under the extraordinary circumstances which prompted even the Tribune correspondent to call attention to the "Flags at half-mast for the death of Adams, and streamers flying for the reception of Henry Clay ! So meet the strangest extremes of the pageantry of life." We repeat so should not have extremes met on this occasion. An Objection to Uniform Postage. The N. Y Tribune remarks upon unifoim two cents postage for letters and one cent for newspapers, as follows : We do not think two cents enough for carrying a letter from Passamaqtioddy and delivering it at Oregon City, Saltillo or the Bay of San Francisco. We would prefer to say Under 500 miles, 2 cents ; under 1,500, 5 cents ; over 1,500, 10 cenls ; and we think these rates ought to pass for cheap pottage. As to Newspapers, they ought to be pre-paid unless sent regularly to subscribers who pay their Postage quarterly in advance, which we consider the best sort of pre-payment. We think ilr. Greeley cannot have reflected with his usual force on this subject, and must have failed to get a clear view of the grand principle of Rowland Hill's system. According to Mr. Hill, distance is so trifling an element that it docs not deserve to enter into the account of the expense of postage, however large the country. Your mails once established, may as well go full as empty ; therefore that rate will pay best, ns well as serve the people best which draws the must letters into the mail. The people of Oregon City and Pasaamaquotldy are like all the rest of the world. They will write five times as many letters at 2 cents as at 10 cents. Let us see whether their letters can be carried from ono place to another for 2 cents. Buffalo robes, weighing as we have tested 8Jlbs. each, are brought from the foot of the Rocky Moun tains to Boston and sold for $1.50 a piece, yielding a satistactory pront to all parties. I hat is only one cent and six mills the half ounce for transportation, first cost and all, and surely it costs something to run down and skin the buffalo, to say nothing of dressing and packing his skin. Now it appears to us that, provided there is any truth in the rule of three, it might be made to appear to any body, that if 2S0 half ounces of buffalo cuticle and wool can be got off from the creature's back and brought from the head of the Yellow Stone or Missouri to Boston, 2,200 miles, without counting the bends of the rivers, at a profit, for $4.50, then 280 half ounces of dry paper may be brought from Oregon City to rassamaquoddy, say 800 miles further, for $5.60, or two cents the half ounce. For, counting the first cost of tho buffalo skin at the low figure of 50 cents, then the sum will be, as 2200 miles to 3000 miles, so is $4.00 to $5.45, which means that government would make a profit, so far as the weight is concerned, in carrying letters from Oregon to Passamaquoddy for less than two cents each. The only financial question which remains is, will correspondence increase in proportion to the diminution of the ratol On this point the best and only light we have is experience and common sense, both of which unite in testifying that it will. But we are ashamed to argue the question with mind so patriotic and humane as Greeley's on so low a ground. It seems to us that every consideration which pertains to the value tf union and domestic trade in such an extended country as ours proclaims that the government should carry tiio letters of the people for even less than cost. On that principle un productive mail routes through our remote settlements have always been justified, and doubtless the enhancement of the value of the public lands by their influence has been far greater than the cost of those routes, to say nothing of the comfort and convenience of the settlers. - Let postage in the heart of the couth try be what it may, it seems to us that sound republic can policy should lead us to make intercourse be tween the extremities perfectly free that is to im pose a postage upon it no more than sufficient to prevent a wanton abuse of the privilege.. Dimes may bu nothing to city merchants, but they are much to struggling settlers in the forest, and decide the ques tion whether or not they are to keep up their ties of affection with the land they have left.' CA word on newspapers. We do not understand the Tribune to object to a one cent postage on newspapers for all distances. Surely it cannot insist upon 3 cents in advance for transient papers. If newepapers are to pay one cent postage from publisher to subscriber, then any person should ba allowed tosend one through the mail by attaching a cent stamp to it. This would not discourage as the present law does, the newspaper intercourse of people in the city with their friends or customers in the country. But we think in a repub lic like tnis, the least that go eminent should do for the intelligence and education of the people is to let all papers regularly liken and paid for go through lhi Post Olfice free. Other printed inalier should be allowed to pass through the mails at one cent the half ounce fir all distances which, in our opinion also, would bo the right pjstnge for letters. Chronolype.

She sailed from Eng land on the Oih ult., and brings the following highly important and interesting news : lhe intelligence from France is of a startling char acter. The country is again distracted by a revolu tion. Louis Phillippe has been forced to abdicate the throne, and a republican form of government has been proclaimed. The royal family have been compelled to leave Paris! Th revolution is spreading with rapid strides over the country, attended by a dreadful loss of lifo to all those who oppose its progress.

The Royal Mail Steamer ' Cambria, after a passage or twenty days, has arrived, bringing highly impor tant and alarming news from France. The Comraer cial news is not of much importance. Paris, Feb. 24, 1849. Louis Phillippe has abdicated in favor of Count De Paris. The Duke of Nemours was proposed as Re gent and rejected. It was proposed by Odillon Barrot that a Rejrency, should be formed under the Duchess of Orleans, until the Count De Tans should obtain his majority, but this has been rejected, and the establishment of a Re publican Government insisted upon. lhe Duchess of Orleans and the Count de Paris went to the Chamber at half-past one o'clock, accom panied by the Duke de Nemours and a large party of oiheers on horseback, lhe Duchess was in deen mourning. At four o clock the Duchess de Orleans, Count de Paris, and Duke de Nemours, returned from tho Chamber, having bten rejected by the Chamber of Deputies and the people who penetrated into the Chamber. The Chamber of Deputies has declared itself in Permanance, and has refused to allow the family of Louis Phillippe to resign the throne. There will be a great effort made to support the Ducht-FS de Orleans, the idea of a Republic not being agreeable to a mass of the Deputies. 1 he chamber met to-day, but the populace overpow ered the majority. lue king at one o clock left the Palace of the lu illeries escorted by a party of the cavalry of the Na tional Lruards and several Krgiments of Kegular Cavalry. The carriages went by the Quays to the barriers passii. The troops were all withdrawn at noon, and not a Boldier is now to be seen. The Troops of the Line have fraternized with the National Gharils, and the National Guards with the people. All intercourse with the two Cities of the River is cut off, but I hear distant firing going on every instant while I write. Garriers Pages is Mayor of Paris. A strong gov ernment will bo orrranized, and a Republic of the model cf the United States is proposed. A procession of persona in llanirs and armed, have just passed, carrying the lhrone ot the lhrone Room of the Turneries on their shoulders in triumph, sing insr the Marseilles Hvmn. There has been a frightful loss of life, and in many instances the troops have refused to act against the people. The number of killed is said to be upwards of five hundred, lhe fighting was principally in the neighborhood of the Palais Royal, and between that and the Turneries. An attempt was made on the Finance Minister's house at 11 o'clock, which fiiled. The tocsin has been sounding all day throurout the city. All Paris is in the hands of the Natrona Guards and the people. Count Mole was first named and rejected by the people. Thiers and Barrot were next named, and the proclamation apointing them Ministers were every where torn down by the public. General Lamoniciere has been appointed command er of the National Guards. The placard was written by Thiers and Barrot. It is said that GeneraLamoniciere is killed, or at all events wounded. The Palais Royale has been taken possession of by the people, after a great deal of carnage. An attack was made at one o clock on the Palace of Tuillerics, and it is now in the hands of the National Guards and the people, who are throwing the furni ture out of the windows and burning it, and an at tempt was made to burn the Tuillenes. The people have penetrated into the cellar of the luilleries. and are distributing the wines. The Railway stations and barriers are in possession of the people, and from the former the rail bas been removed to prevent the arrival of troops from the country. The passengers from Bologne to Faris were, in consequence, obliged to return from Neaf Chetel to Bologne. The Railway being stopped all communication with Paris is cut off, and tho mail and passengers are returned to Amiens. Intelligence to the latest moment. Liverpool, Feb. 27lh. By Telegraph from London later advices have been received from Paris. Things were more calm, and great efforts were making to restore confidence, but it was feared that the calm was only the precursor to further outbreaks. The locality of Louis Phillip;e is uncertain. The Duke de Nemours' desliua'ion is England. The excitement in the provinces is equal to that in the Capital. The cause of the Revolution was Guizot's prohibition of the great reform banquets.

Approved Match 9, 1848. Condition of Ireland. The condition of Ireland seems nut to improve in the slightest degree. On the contrary, her fortunes seem to be getting dimmer and dimmer. Famine, murder, and assassination have full play, while her orators and patriots are divided among themselves as to the remedy for the evils under which -he labor. The English government know not w hat to do a majority of the Irish themselves think a repeal of the union would act as a panacea for all her sores and calamities ; but they cannot agree on the proper means to pursue to obtain it. Let a nation, numbering as many inhabitants as Ireland does, be united on the attainment of anv measure, and she cannot help but obtain it. Let Ireland be united in this way, and demand a repeal of the union and slier will obtain it ; but what can be expected to result from disunion and confusion 1 It is stated, however, by England and by her statesmen, that Ireland is a drag upon them; that 6he has exhausted legislation for her benefit ; but yet they are not willing to sever the union. Now, here is Ireland on one hand, with a majority of her .people in favor of repeal, and England on the other, considering Ireland a drag on her would it not be policy for England to get rid of the drag by consenting to a repeal of the union ? One thing is certain, that Ireland will be a thorn in the side of tho British ministry, and a source of weakness to England, as long as she remains in her present dissatisfied state. She may find this out to her cost before many years have elapsed. Let England again be engaged in a war with France, and Ireland would, in all probability, throw its influence agauiüt England. Her commodious and spacious harbors would afford r ranee opportunities for landing troope, fur storms will not always occur for the especial benefit of England. There will be a crisis in European affairs when the present monarch of France dies. As soon as the nation relieved of him, its young blood will again boil, and seek an opportunity to wipe out the defeat at Waterloo, and the treatment of its Emperor. If Ireland cannot be conciliated, it would bo policy for England to consent to a separation. New York Herald. Death from Starvation in Ireland. Mary Dolan died of starvation in the townland of Fannaugh, In Athlone, on the 4th ult. A man and two women died of starvation at Youghal. A young girl died of starvation at t,appawhite. The Castlebar Telegraph mentions the deaths, from starvation, of five men and two women, in the electo ral division of Drum, and the parish of Kilmeena. A poor man named Shea, died on Tuesday, 8th ult. at Lucahane, in Kerry, for want of food. His wife and three younir children went from home two days before he died, to try and procure sumj food for themselves and him. On her return she found them scarcely alive, and the only article left (a metal pot) she brought into town and sold for 8d., with which she bought some bread, &.c. Upon his eating a few mor sels of the bread, he fell back and died. He repeatedly, with his family, went to the workhouse for relief, but could obtain none. On the 1st February, inquests were held on the bodies of William, Margaret and Mary lioknd, of Gurthiveha, in the pariah of ieakle. It appeared from the evidence, that Mary Uolnnd (a girl about twelve years of ae) left home early in the morning to look lor something to eat, and was (ound dead by one of her neighbor at the side of a ditch, net far from her wretched home. From the evidence at the inquest of William Bolaud, it appears that about five or ix week ago every particle ot furniture, with beds and bedding, was solJ for the rates that, since then, they never lay un a bed.
