1 lie Special Commissions at Cork had

ihe first that deserves not ce is the Cathe
dral, w hich is a very magnificent pile. The
railing round the high altar is of solid silver—
There is nbo a silver lamp so capacious, that
three men may go in lo clean it ; outside it
is enriched w ith ihe images of lions’heads,
and other ornaments, in pure gold. This
Cathedral was 2 V years in building. The
University of Mexico was founded in Ifikl,
and has thirteen professors. The students

ture, Painting, Engraving, and Mathematics.
An European is astonished on seeing Ihe A-

In the treasury 100 workmen are constant
ly employed in coining money. In lias ci
ty most of the Spanish money is reined—
and from the commencement of the tilth
century, more than C000 millions ol dollars,
in gold and silver, have been issued.
Mexico contains thirty -eight convents and
an inquisition. The revenues uf the Archbi
shop are 100,000 dollars.
The study of mathematics and astronomy
is much cultivated in this city. The archi
tectural works carried on for the embellish
ment of the city, arc very expensive. The
Pheatie is an elegant edifice, and the tne
water, are worthy of notice. There are
three squares, each containing an elegant
fountain—besides these, there are ten others
in the city. The city of Mexico is ri marka

a Mayor and twelve Aldermen. The c-ityis
beautifully illuminated with large refleetiig

there does nut exist a city equal to Mexi.-o

The streets are of great breadth, so that the
city covers a vast extent of ground—tlidy
are wi ll paved, and intersect each other at

“ It is well known that the usages of
the country do not admit of the intended
bride being seen hy the husband before

more easily satisfy Iter curiosity regard

that is not always possible. This slate
of restraint gives rise to several practi

EXPLOSION OF A MINE IN OHIO.
A Singular explosion nfa mine took place
nn the lath ultimo, at a salt well, situated
on Taylor's Creek, a branch of the Beg Mi
ami, about eleven miles N. W.frinn Cinein
mill, where general-Ha rison and Findlay
have employed a numb r of men in search
of saline springs. The follow ing in-count of
this piiciionienun is given in the Ciucinuali
S|.y
After the well or shaft had been dug to the
solid rock, the miner's auger was introdtu
ed, and a perforation made in the rock lo
the depth nt fidl) feet; wln-ii boring at this
tiepin,‘me auger struck m;n an rxiensive
suhsterrancous cavern of wat. r ; the rods
luilged down several feet, and the water in
stantly rushed up to within 13 feet of the
earth’s surface. knoivi
Tuc boring rods sunk so low, that they ; 1 d to
could not at that time he withdrawn; the i I’eiison
water rose Very copiously, and was accom
panied with an inflammable gas, supposed
since lo he carlmretted hydrogen.
At this stage ot the Ii tsiness, five men de
scended into the well in order to extricate
the rods,and inadvertently called fora ligli!,
which, when brought to’the m.uitli of (he.
pil, instantly set (he gas ou fin? and ii ex
ploded with a great report.
Two men on the top of the pit were se
verely injured, hut those in the bottom
much more -o ; having the skin scorched
to their hands, their faces burnt, tin ir lia r
singed, llu-ir linen and light apparclconsnui
ed ; no lives were lost, hut it la said that
two are dangerously w ounded.
The force of the explosion carried away
the hoarded covering fromthe pit lo -I. and
the report was heard lo the distance of a
mile or more.
The inflammable gas continued for 8 d.n s
to rise up through tlie IwIh of the rock ;
causing the water to bubble briskly at
surface.
51 hen the flame was afterwards cntnr.vi-
nicaled, hy way of experiment, t n* ;;.is
would ignite, and continue to hum at tin
water’s edge. The less informed euiiniry
people were sonn ivhat in alarm, imagining
that the water was burning.
It is Imped Hint the insertion of t
