The Streets of Mexico,
s the middle of November, but
there was a May mildness in the atmos
phere. The sky was of that deep ultra*
marine blue, peculiar to elevated re
gions. As I ranged my eyes down the
street from my balcony, the town seem
ed all alive with a teeming population ;
the windows of the houses stood open ;
fair women, strolled homeward from
mass; old monks shuffled along in their
crowled robes; the butcher urged along
his ass with its peripatetic stall hung
round with various meats; freshly leav
ed flowers and trees in the court yards,
of which 1 caught glimpses through the
open portals; and in the balconies
lounged the early risers, enjoying a cigar
after iheir-cup of chocolate. It was a
lively and beautiful scene, worthy of
the pencil of that master-painter of cit
ies, Canaletli, who would have delight
ed in the transparency and purity of the
atmosphere, through which the distant
hills, some twenty miles off, seemed
but a barrier at the edd of the street.
The plan of the city of Mexico is pre
cisely that of a checker-board, with a
great variety of squares. Straight street:
cross each other at right angles and at
regular intervals. The houses arc
painted with gay colors—plight blue,
fawn green,interspersed with pure white
that remain long unstained in the dry
atmosphere.
The view of all these from the elevat
ed tower of the cathedral (lo which I
soon repaired after my arrival ii
capital) presents a (pass of domes,
pies, aud fiat roofed dwellings, frequent
ly covered, like hanging gardens,
A tear started in the eye of the dove,

The beautiful girl, who had entered

she said in a subdued tone,*w’ith a stnilo
like that assumed by all n&ture, when
the how of God appears in the Heavens
after a storm,— 44 My mother, I think I
know what that story means. Let me

am satisfied to sec others appear in rich
and gaudy apparel.”
Qnccu Isabella of Spain.
The following particulars relative to
the young Queen of Spain arc given id
a letter from Madrid lo the Constitution
al :—“ Isabella rises late, for she does
not retire until three or four o’clock in
the morning. She sups at two o’clock.
Parties who are to have audiences with
her Majesty arc almost sure to have to
wait an hour or two beyond the time
appointed ; she treats even her Minis
ters in this way, and frequently they
are sent away without having an aud!- 1 :
ence, and again recalled at one or two
o’clock iu the morning. The Quced
listens attentively to all her Ministers
say to her, but nothing moves or inter
ests her so much as any act of kindness
which they may suggest for virtues or
courageous conduct. On these occa
sions Isabella always grants more than
is asked. With all this kindness of dis
position the young Queen is fearless,
her courage is beyond all pioof. She
drives two and four horses in hand, is
intrepid horsewoman, and fre<|ueDtly
flowers andjoila^ei. JBeyond the gates

National Palace—(the residence of the
President) to the south of which, again,
are the museum, and a stone edifice re
cently huill in a tasteful style for a mar
ket. The corner stone of this was laid
after I arrived iu Mexico, and before 1
left, the building was nearly completed.
Until that time, the fruits, flowers, and
vegetables, and most of the necessaries
of the table, had been sold on that spot
in shambles and booths built of bamboos
and reeds, and sheltered from the rain
and sun by thatched roofs. In the south
western corner of the square, the Pari
an, an unsightly building (erected, I be
lieve, since the revolution,) greatly mars
the effect of the Plaza. It is a useful
establishment, however, as it affords a
large revenue to the municipality, and
it is the great bazaar where every arti
cle requisite for tho dress of Mexicans,
male or female, may be purchased at
reasonable prices. On the pavement
which runs round sits numbers of coach
men, whose stands are in the neighbor
hood, and crowds of women with ready-
made shoes.—Braniz Mayer.
