The population is 4,619, being ?.n 'increase of 33 per cent, during the three years previous to 1811. The quantity of grain raised was doubled in the two years previous to 1810, when it was estimated at 75,000. . The poultry last year was-valued at $1,442, and the i hp of wool at $1,904. The export of lumber for the last six years has averaged from $350, 000 o $375,000. The export "of fish, during ihc same time, has averaged $30,000 a year. Brutality. We daily read accounts of the hrutal treat ment received by apprentices at the hands of their masters and mistresses, but the following caps the climax, and, in the language of the Tattler, almost dquals the refined barbarity of Squecrs on poor Smike. In the fall of 1810, a poor widow, in indigent circumstances, died in New York, leaving two s:iiall orphans to the charge of her married daughter. Subsequently, one of them, aged r'even years, was indentured to Mrs. Ann rroudfii, as an errand girl. In this employ she Was treated more like a worthless dog than a human being, kept in a diny filthy slate, forced to sleep in the basement hall, although the house is one of the largest in East Broadway, and subjected to floggings from the hands of Dr. James Proudfit, a son of the widow's, that exceeded in severiiy many thai have been in flicted on hardy seamen in the navy for grave offences. Her sisier, having heard of these outrages, made complaint to a magistrate, who directed an officer to bring the girl before him. The gtrl was brought to the office, and the in terview between the sixers was affecting in the extreme. She bnre palpable evidence of her treatment on her person, and the mark of the heel of the gallant Doctors boot, was found legibly imprinted upon her back ; besides this the girl appeared to be fust verging to a state of idiocy. Comment is unnecessary. "We know not i what disjiosition the magistrate will make in the ease, but we trust that he will show the offenders that the law reaches and falls alike on the rich and poor. Tlie Mines of Mexico. The mines are the grand object which has connected the idea of unbounded wealth and romantic splendor with the name of Mexico. Gold and silver, by a natural illusion, have al ways shone in the eyes of marikirid with a lus tre beyond that of any other metal. Peru, in deed, offers gold in greater abundance but Mexico, since the first discovery, has prbduced more silver than all the rest of the world united. The silver ore of Mexico is far from rich; it seldom yields more than three or four ounces to the quintal of earth, while that of Saxony yields ten or evert fifteen ounces. It is situa ted, also, very deep in ihe ground; the quantity, however, is immense, and obtained with com paratively little difficulty for,' instead of being, as usual, placed in the heart of dreary and al most inaccessible deserts, the mines occupy the very best situation of the great table plain, are surrounded with brilliant vegetation, and with all the means of corrffotrable subsistance. There are 3,000 mines in Mexico;-most of them, however, are now unproductive, and even ruin ous; but adventurers have been encouraged to begin and to persevere while a particle of their capital remained, by the enormous profits which have in a' few instances, been realized. The produce of the mines continued increas ing unt.l the commencement of the late revolu tion. From 1750 to 1759 the average appear ed to be $1,56G,000; from 1771 to 1803 it was $19,088,000; but in the first years of the pre sent century the duties levied implied an amount of $22,000,000; and, allowing for contraband, the total might probably be $25,000,000 Du ring the dreadful convulsions of the late revolu tion, the amount was"greatly reduced the wa ter having in many instances been alfoWed to rush in, the machinery destroyed', and the work men dispersed. The annual average produce since tKe revo lution is not more than $ 12,000,000. The sil ver coined in the mint of Mexico, which in 1 810. amounted to the value of $17,050,000, had fallen, in 1825, to $3,551,000. The mint of Mexico is a prodigious cstab JishraenV in which all the processes are carried' on with the greatest activity. It is capable of camping $1,0U),UDJ within the hour. So rap id 2n opKratiim is seldom required, vet there Ilave passed through it probably upwards of 52,000,000,000. MitchelVs World. Horrid Idea .--To ask a printej to lend you fie dollars.

Old Deacon M. was the only storekeeper in a pretty little village e up country,' and used to lake great pleasure in catechising the youih who might Visit hi.s store. One day a ragged urchin entered, who seemed to the deaconsa fit subject upon whom ho might exercise his ques tioning powers. Patting him on the shoulder, he asked "My son, what's the strongest thing you know of?" The lad thought a moment, then scratching his bumps of communicative ness through a hole in his hdt, answered "What, I reckon inarm knows ; she's tarnal strong herself she can lick'dad any lime, and she said that butter I got here t'other day was the strongest stuff she ever seed yet-- for that was so strong she could'nt hold it after she got it dowh 1" Mass.
