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, Ilf this mihf rcfjufTp oHier guardian Spir it, and she promised uever to complain.

Let me he your dove; let me have that orna ment of a meek and quiet spirit, and I 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.

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.
