Great Drought in Mexico.—We are permit
ed (says the N. O. Picayune.) to make the fol
lowing extract from a letter, dated Zacatecas,
May 13th, to a commercial house of this city:
“We are in a most miserable state here at pre
sent. We have had no rain of any consequence
since August last, and the country is actually
burnt up. Many of our roads are impassable for
want of water. Corn is $6 50 per fanega, (about
150 pounds,) and in some parts of the State of
Zacatecas is selling at $9. Flour just ground
down is worth S2O per 300 pounds, and other
things in proportion. The loss of animals would
not be credited in any other place. We know
of one estate which lost 1.400 head of sheep in
March last, and has been worse since. Os course
there is literally no trade at present, as the people
are either maintained by charity, or are eating
every thing that comes in their way. Every
day until it rains will be worse, and we cannot
expect any commercial prosperity until another
and a good harvest of Indian corn is gathered.—
On the 25th ult. we had a sharp frost, ■which has
injured the wheat crop. This is produced by ir
rigation, and was just caught in the ear. :?
Dreadful, Mortality. —The Louisville Cour
ier of the 3d inst. says :
We learn that the steamer Grand Turk, from
New Orleans, with a large number of emigrants
on board for St. Louis, lost 25 or 30 of her passen
gers by the cholera before the boat reached Cairo.
Seventeen had died before the arrived at Napo
leon, and the disease was then raging terribly on
board. These unfortunate creatures were trans
ferred from an emigrant vessel at New Orleans,
suffering with the ship fever, and most of them
were in a deplorable condition. The disease that
proved so fatal must have been a combination of
ship lever and cholera. The boat was very much
crowded, which but added to the fatality.
