The following letter from a young lady of about nineteen years of age is extremely touch ing, as well as . vincive of high talent. It is a sister's plea to a beloved brother against the vice of gambling. This vice has many vota ries, and there are unhappily many sisters who, if they could plead as eloquently as this one, hare occasion for the employment of such an appeal. The authorship of the letter is known to the writer of this, and probably to not more than three or four other persons in the wide world. The letter has all the advantage of being written in the fullness of the heart and with a true sis terly affection. It would be entirely improper to publish the names, or to give a clue to the names by leaving in full cert&iu passages. Except the writer of this, none but the nearrit relatives of the young man to whom the letter was addressed can know its origin. May many a young man feel that such an appeal against this destructive vice is that which many a sister would make had she the powers of lan guage and argument displayed by the sister who penned this letter. And may many a brother take heed therefrom and reform.?Eds. [ Am. Tel. ? January, 25, 18?. Mr Dear Brotuir : What my sensations ! were to-day, on reading a letter written by you to father, It is impossible for me to des?ribe, but it is my sincere wish that such may never be yonrs. Oh, my dear brother, bow could you, who know your father so well, inflict a pang on his sensitive, feeling heart! Pardon me this one reproach?it is neither my wish nor inten tion to reproach?conscious that your own feel ings must reproach you sufficiently, when you hear how your father was affected by your con duct. When tho letters came in this morning, he, after reading yours, threw it on the floor beside me, saying, " There, Mary, you have lost your brother." I looked up, and never, no, never shall I forget the expreosion of his coun tenance at that moment; and without saying another word he went into the adjoining room, where he continued walking about for some time. His words had left me without the power of asking your fate, or reading the letter which lay beside me, when ma, picking it up, and seeing it came froni you, said that you were not dead ; then ir was my full heart found re lief in tears. Oh, my dear brother! eould you have been a witness of the scene that followed, it would have been a lesson that would have lasted you your lifetime. I saw your father's faoe bathed in tears?tears which flowed for tho follies of a son he almost idolized. " Mary," ; cried he, " if you or Joseph ever cause me to shed such tears it will break my heart" Ho then bade me write to you and tell you, that if you would return home he would give you an equal share with the rest of the children of his I property; but that if yon would not, ho would i never give you another cent as long as he lived. Pause, my dear brother, and reflect on ; your situation?in a foreign land, far from relations and friends, unknown to a single soul who is in the least interested about you. Re- 1 turn, my dear brother, to the fostering arms of j your parents and friends, who are willing and anxious to serve you, If you will hereafter fol- | low their advice and never more engage in that bane and scourge to society, gambling. What will not be the pleasing consequences of resist ing this will ? The love and esteem of all who know you, and the pure and lasting pleasures | of a well-informed mind, conscious of having done your duty. Your days will pass in peace- i ful, happy tranquillity; at night, your rest will j be sweet, and undisturbed but by dreams of j bliss, and you will rise in the morning with a ; heart as light as a feather; for tho money that you would squander away at play in one night, ' spent in benevolence, might procure you the blessing and prayers of many an unfortunate, but worthy anu deserving family.

It is to be hoped that neither the long absence of the American minister to Mexico from his post of duty, nor the fatality which appears to have attended thus far the negotia tions and proceedings of this Administration in regard to the affairs of our neighbors of this continent, whether under an English protector ate at Nicaragua or a Spanish despotism at Cuba, will prevent our Governuient from ob taining suitable redress for so manifest a breach of good faith on the part of the Mexican author ities : Vice consulate of the Republic of' Mexico, m New York.?In conformity to the decree of the federal Congress of Mexico, as follows: "Ministry of Interior and Foreign Affairs. Your excellency, the President of the United Mexican State. To all the inhabitants of the republic be it known that the general Congress has decreed as follows: "The decree of November 6, 1846, is de clared null and no longer existing, because the provisional government of that period, in virtue of the faculties with which it was then invested, bad not the power to dictate it; consequently, the government will take measures to have the above declaration immediately produce its de sired end, respecting the privilege granted to Don Jose Garay.?A.

The undersigned, vice consul of the republic of Mexico, by order of bis government, makes known to all whom it may eonoern, that the said government will not permit any person whatsoever, representing Don Jose Garay, or acting in virtue of his extinguished privilege, to undertake the work of opening a way of c ommunication between the two seas by the isthmus of Tehuantepec; aud all persons who in future may attempt it will be considered as breakers of the laws of Mexico, and punished conformably to the circumstances, seriousness, and ext<mt of the offence. He also makes known that neither Minatitlan nor Ventos&a, nor any other point of the isthmus, is a port of entry for foreign vessels, notwithstanding that this fact bos always been notorious; and that those which go there wilt be subject to the penalties that the Mexican laws impose, and to the hostile treatment to which they will there by have given cause. The legal state of the above-expressed mat ters is only meantime that the Congress of Mexico disposes of the manner in which the said communication between the two oceans shall be opened to the world.

"Coopertfotcn, Sept. 14, p. m.?James Feni more Cooper breathed his last at one o'clock to-day. He expired free from pain, aud his last moments were cheerful and happy. He had been confined about oue week. Mr. Cooper became a member of (he Episcopal church in this village early last spring, and was oonstant in his attendance and at the communion, until bodily weakness confined him to his house. During his suhness he evinced the utmost pa tience, submission, and composure of mind. He has been visited daily most of this time by his pastor, Rev. Mr. Batten, who spent wvertd hours each day at his bedside in preyer and conversation with him. He was entirely pre pared for the event Had Mr. Cooper lived until to-morrow he would have been sixty-two years of nge. In his death a great man has fallen. The village has lost one of its most worthy and benevolent citizens, and the Bpie oopal church a liberal and strong support." Ccxiocs Freak or a CaArr Wo*a*.?Officer Phipps was called, early yesterday morning, by the sexton of St. Mary's cherch, to take a woman named Mrs. Haggerty down from the belfry. She was discovered by the sexton, who, upon trying to ring the bell, found it would not go. He then ascended to the tower, and found the woman clinging to the tongue of the bell. She refused to let go her hold aad come down, and it was only by the exercise of much persuasion and some force, that she was induccd to aban don her exalted position. It is supposed that she had been there two days and one night, as she had been missed during that time. [Tr<y(N. f.) Tmm. The growth of some of the cities of England during the last fifty years has exceeded that of some of the most flourishing American cities. This is the case with Liverpool. In 1801 its population did not amount to 100,000; it ie now over 500,000. This is the largest increase of any town or city of the British empire. The progress of this town for some 600 years was very slow. From the granting of the charter of King John, in the year 1209, to the year 1700, a period of very nearly 600 years, the population of Liverpool slowly crept up from 200 or 300 to 8,000 inhabitants; during the next one hundred years, to the census of 1801, it increased, at an accelerated speed, to IK),239; and during the last fifty years it has increased, in a rapidly augmenting ratio, to 600,000. It was never increasing at so great a speed as at preseut; and, supposing that ratio of increase to continue, it will amount to 1,1X10,00(1 in habitants at the elosc of the present century.
