SKETCHES OF MEXICO.
The City of Mexico.?Matters in relation to
New Spain and its gorgeous capital arc every
jt day rising in interest; so we have drawn out an
old pencil note-book again, and the mail conveniently
staying away yostciday, we found time to
scratch up the present sketch.
The most impressive notion that strikes a new
traveller while progressing through the large cities
- .. .of Mexico, is the inordinate thirst of gold that
docs still, and always must have characterized
the rulers and priesthood of the couutry. While
a great mass of the population are in actual poverty,
vcTging on starvation, the churches and palaces
' * * - mi A
arc gorgeH with wealth and treasure, i nc lyran- t
ny of the old conquerors is also ttill alive, and the
miserably degraded state to which the |>oor aborigines
hare been reduced and in which the pauper
* . portion of even the Mexicans themselves exist, is
truly pitiable.
Much has been written about the mild climate
of Mexico, and little is left to say of it tlipt woul^
* not assume the appearance of repetition. Yet the
traveller beneath those sunny skies, can scarcely
repress a disposition to record his emotions, if once
a pen comes between his fingers; and indeed, it
would be difficult for even the most poetic fancy
to be too warm and glowing upon the subject.?
Fire places and stoves arg no common things in
the city of Mexico, and houses arc built without-,
thought of sufch a provision as a chimney. Cooking
is done out of doors, in the streets and yards,
and a daily spectacle in the public squares is beggars
and others with small furnaces preparing their
scanty fare for use. This fact shows emphatically
the nature of the climate. ..
The great capital is situated in a broad and
beautiful plain, encompassed by gigantic moun*
tains, to the summit x>f which the eye is continually
roving, the bold contrast of nature's stupendous
work, with the domes and steeples below,
irresistibly forcing wonder and admiration u|>on
the mind. Regarding the city jtself, the traveller
will not always form favorable impressions when
first beholding it, and in fact, those Who have indulged
in excitement over warm descriptions of
the country, arc very apt to be stricken with the
chillncss of disappointment.?Nor is even a sojourn
v ' "of some weeks sufficient to cliangc this frame of
sentiment. It lingers upon you, and is likely to
remain your strongest bent of feeling when you
_ . leave. It is certainly true that there arc many
buildings?mostly public, however?churches, con.
vents, monasteries, and so forth, -of great and
striking proportions which never /ail to arrest the
observation of the stranger; but it is more from
their antiquated style of structure than any thing
like real architectural elegance. These buildings
axe mostly old, and already remarkable for venerable
appearance, though they arc likely to stand
as long again and longer, for their durability would
seem really to defy tiie progress of time. The old
Spanish mode of building prevails of course,
throughout the city, giving rich novelty, at any.
rate, to the eye of the American visitor, and making
the scene quaint and picturesque. The houses
are ail similar in construction, being.oi stone, and
very seldom varying in fashion. This sameness/
however, is another point coming in contradiction
with tho romantic features of the city which we
have just mentioned, and its effect is materially to
***. mar the pleasure of the traveller. The general
appearance of every tiling in the way of architecture,
is massive, and but little of grandeur is to be
found, save in the interiors of the churches and
palaces, while real elegance is to be seen nowhere.
A heavy and sombre effect is produced by the ancient
style of structure. In the houses the 'floors
arc of tile or common brick, and the stranger will
not fail to observe immediately the absence of
fire-places. -
The streets arc but roughly paved, and none of
them arc at all over-cleanly. They are not
planned with side-walks and gutters as ours arc,
but slope downwards from each side to the centre,
where there is generally a covered drain. By far
tlie greater jwrlion of the thoroughfares-are neglected,
and our pen shrinks from a description of
the filth and wretchedness to be found in some of
them.
Mexico lies in the heart of the mountains, high
in the torrid region, seven thousand four hundred
and forty feet above the sea; and here, in a vast
valley, overtopped by the huge Cordillera of the
South, sits the capitol of New Spain. It is a
great city, and one whose destinies, both of old
and to come, arc now more than ever engaging
the attention of surrounding nations. Strange
and semi-barbarous as has been tiic history of the
country through its career until th s time, the next
^ ten or fifteen years promise even a more eventful
record. Fiercer days than those of the Spanish?
likelv to idoom over the land, and a
deadlier fight than that with Montezuma's people,
may yet be storied of the New Casliliansund their
newer neighbor*; "
The population of the city is now called one
'hundred and seventy thousand; at least it was so
estimated when Santa Anna was garrisoned in
his palace with many troops around him. Yet to
see llic swarms of human beings that almost con.
' * stantly throng the streets, a natural impression
arises that the number must be much greater.?
Many composing these crowds, however; are not
residents in the city, but wander about the country
in ail directions, having homes nowhere. One
of the most distinct and at the same .line revelling
. features of the city, and in fact the whole country,
is its numerous and wretched pauper population.
All cities have their better classes, certainly, and
even Mexico has hers; but these aro secluded and
seldom seen by the stranger. The intelligent
Mexicans deeply reprobate the idleness, rascality,
'1 ' ' ..;*/?? nf itin rv/irvr m.'iCS and will
sioin anu uuiu nvio u? mv j-w. ...?,
fredy so express themselves to Americans, but
vast and mighty convulsions must shake the nation
Before ever a better state of things will be
brought about.
Crime prevails among the poverty-stricken
wretches to a frightful extent. Thefts, robberies,
pud even murders, arc of nightly and sometimes
daily occurrence. Two or more dead bodies may'
be seen almost any morning, exposed at the dead
bouse, victims of assassination during the night.?
Horses are stolen impudently in daylight, in the
public streets, and persons robbed of their money
and clothing almost with impunity. Heaven preserve
all decent travellers from the loafers, rascals,
and Lrpros of Mtxico.
We have given all the space we can afibrd to
tiiis sketch, and yet have scarcely touched upon
half the points that interest us.

Houses of tho Legislature, establishing a new
county out of a portion of Lincoln, called Culaw"
