Mkxicd, August 25, 1807. Tho peace and quiet which has rn-'uod in Mexico for the past four week*, unknown for many a year, seems about to be broken In upon, and the discordant elements among the people begin to manifest themselves and to make open declaration of their existence and power. It would appear that the people, so long accustomed to revolution and anarchical disquiet, find that tranquility and prosperity are unwholesome, and they lung for the revolutionary leader and the war path. On the 14ih of Angust President Juarez, desirous of performing his duty to his country and to himself, issued tbo call far election of Congressmen, and at tbo same tuns having become satisfled that the constitution of tno United Mutes ot Amerl a could not be excelled as a model, proposed that tbo people or Mexico should at lie same time vote up >o tome amend.neute to the contuuiion of Mexico suggested by ths former. The ameodmeofe are thegrSDilug of the veto power to the f'residout, the right of the clergy to vote and be voted lor, tbe organization of uppor and lower houses, the requirements thai Congress shall by resolution call lor reports of ministers, ths Prssldent shall order such reports to be msde In writing to them, and lastly, ths responsibility of ths press to tbe government, until tbe republic shell have been tirmir established. Tuoso reforms, aitbougb sngges ed to I'residjnt Jusrrs by tbe,r adoption in tne I nited S stes, and thus recommended to his psope for tbelr adoption or rejection, are not so much objectionable to tbo taction who ae crying out against ibem as that wbiru ibey are pleased to term his usurpation ot auiti >nty in giving the people an opportunity to vote upon thorn directly, inetesd of waning until tne Congis.-s i ouvenos and allowing It to legis ate upon such amendments, which the faction claim ia Iks method required be ill Constitution. The portion or the decree 01 Juarez which refers to the press haa met tbe quite universal condemnation of the papers of th>a city, the two pa|>orr printed lu Kogiati being the only ones not ye. committed against It The other Items of reiorm suifgeetrd hy the I'res dent are mostly popular, and the raistug ot the question of usurpat on 011 the part of llio President ia feared hy eotus to be a aortof uucteua or csutre around winch the element* and fact ons opposed to Juarez, to repaolican Mexico, to progress and the lr>enda of the late Emperor, shall rally lor the purpose ot letting their a.reugt.i aud the probab nty of too surce-s of any new revolutionary attempt.

In order to enable the President to aet nnirammeied, the Cabinet, as a unit, proposed to tender its resignation, which Juarez unhesitatingly re:used to consider, eunouncing officially through tha public organ that mere was no disagreement is the Cabinet nor between the Cabinet and himself. Tbie la the present condition of its contest, and we are anxious to bear from tba different States of the republic to know whether Juaret shall be sustained. As you hove been previously informed, if not susiainoil, we look for a doub ful future for kenco. The Immediate friends of Juarez are confident that hia long and faithful stvIvc to republican constitutional Mexico cannot . be ao soon forgotten, and that the welfare of Mexico in 1 this inruliaiirshour of her moat modern and enlightened republicanism it safer in bis bands than in those who have sufTered less for their country or those whom opportunity lor knowing the needs of that couiitry have been leas.

The government of the American people, fa.thful to the discharging of its international debts and obligations to its own citizen-, lias sustained the causo of republicanwin 10 such an epoch that the integrality of <tox>co, through her loyalty and honor, has made her respected by the whole civilized world. Her policy in her relations with other people during the struggle of Mexico has been frank and sincere; "asking nothing but what is right and consenting to nothing which is wrong," sbo has asserted her respect for purity and loyal principles which are dear to the American people. Allowed thus to characterize the brilliant national career of my country, which by its conduct has merited ttie coofldeoce and resoect of the world, I am proud to have been chosen by tbe President of the United Slates to express, Mr. President, the profound svmpathv which is felt for Mexico by tbe people winch I represent, and the desire 10 foster and preserve always ttie mutual inn reals and the prosperity of both repuolics; and 1 but feebly Interpret tne thoughts of the government and people of the United States with the assurance mat they look forward to the time when the promise given by Mexico in her recent struggle for free institutions shall be t<1 ifilled in an equally prosperous nali nal career.

The morntug ^tar, by a process of induction (wherein Vonu< was included) and certain atmospherical phenomena alluded to was proved equal to ihe day star, and tins orO than supposed to bo iho equivalent of Elian. Six thousand years were ret down in holy writ as the duration of the world, and tha> |>eriod of time expired, according to expert chronobigisla, tn the year 1644. Whether the learned loclurer imagines himself to be Elias, however, is a matter for inquiry, as tho Identity of thai individual witu any prominent branch of th* Church at the present time was uot sufficiently established. Tho ourtli is to be tho sceno of the future rel n of the saints, who are all going to be kings, although on a certain level of equality, which will prevent auy mis understanding as to the choice of seats I'hese saints are to be one hundred and forty four thousand strong, whlcn is the exact number of people who will be saved, the remaining millions of the world being consigned lo th# place of eternal wo# This happy thaory appealed to b# fullv established in the mind of this expouuder of the Scriptures, who quoted ample texts to support bis view*, discarding such as would run counter to thein Th# miilenium, D.ctor Cummings' favorite subject, however, was not alluded to bv Mr. Snow, who, after lie bad onthrun d his one hundred aud forty four thousand saints, and damned the rest of posterity, resumed bis seat The Evil* ef Avnrloe?Sermon by ttev. R. C. Sbitneall at the Everett l(o onus. An interesting discourso was delivered last evening et the Everett Rooms, before a highly respectable though not very large audience, by the Rev. R. C. Shinieall. The services were inaugurated by the singing of a hymn and prayer, after which the preacher read the sixth chapter or the Gospol of St. John, commencing at the nineteenth verse. The reverend speaker then announced that the subject of his remarks was "The Characteristics and Perils of Tnsauciifled Woallb," basing his allusions thereto upo-i tho tbirty-tlm chapter of the Book of Jon, tweuty-fourih auu iwt-uiy-ei^rmi veisus, wuu me unru i:uu])ier ui iuu Epistle to the OuLsslaus, Uf;b verse. Bis subject, be proceeded substantially to remark, was, perhaps, at the prc-cut time one of tho most unpopular that could he stiggesied, wtieu cotton and corn were universally proc aimed to be kir.gs, All oflorhs wore directed through their agency t<> the accumulation of wealth, and therefore gold was king, and its throne in tho hearts of all nion. Tho vice of avurice had now gained such an ascendancy in tho heart-, and minds of men that it was perilous to one's reputation to stand up and combat tho secret workim s of tins iniquitous idolatry, winch pervaded alike the Church and (tie Stale. Avariciousne-s and covoiousnoss had assumed a phase of gross and positive Idolatry, taking its lnsid ons and secret seat In tho ncniut of ah, and becoming a rankling canker. The money worship of these days was in no respect less a cruno than the heathen worship of other lands It was for.) d ten amid the thunders of Mnai, and the vice prohibited in the command there onuuciated?"fltou alull not covet"? had boon repeated.y nnd successively denounced by Solomou, Jeremiah, Job and all the sucred writers. Men had now beenrno baptized adorers of modern wealth and bused in lost adoration at tbe sbrino of gold, and it was the sin o covetousneas that constituted tho greatest barrier to the progre-s of toe gospel in these days. The pulpit was not less impregnated with this vice than other places, but nought to conciliate the minds of tho people in regard to the commission of tho enormiiy. Such, he said, was the tenor of the sermon of til Kev. Henry Want fieecher on Sunday last, wnon, lu preaching Irom the text. "Tho lovo of tnon y is tiie root of ail evil," he counselled his hearers that to understand this passage they must emphasize it properly; nud plac.ng tho emphasis on the word "love," tie sought to show that It was tho lovo of lucre that was the source of evt, and not the mouev Itself, llut the evil was not conlined to any ono department, but pervaded alike tho deparlracnis of Sta a. commerce and political a Hairs, though thero ?ii< probably no cue who would aoknoaledge mat in himself was embodied this Inordinate lust for accumulated wealih. In the department of commerce U included the correllativo tratids In tlio receipts of customs; in the department ol (rade It was evidenced in tbe gigantic efforts to monopolizo and crush out a legitimate rivulrc, and flowing fiom 'he.-e evils were the crimes of forgery and ptrlury. In tho department of politics, as d veloped In Congress, the Legislature and the municlp illty. It was flagrantly manifested by a reckless disregard of the sacred oath, and tiie sacrifice o tho best interest* of constituents. I be popular voico demanded, what is the puwt-r of rank by thns vord or in the council, if unconnected with the acqul-itioii of money and this had resulted in th > embezzlement of fifty millions of money by unscrupulous men in th - various departments since tbe cointn nceinent of the lat?

Jo thems Ives alone, t their individual poser, lliev ascribed the ability to ainus- their wealth, nud rlnitnud to bo indebted to none other than themselves for their possessions. In cloning, the speaker stated that, <> a prophetical ftudent, he asserted that the time was rapidly approaching wheu the -'trial by lire," alluded l-i by St. Paul in hi* epistle to the Conn'titans, would bw evoked, and the mammon worshippers ol the eartn would l>e rubJected to th* test of self den:*1, which would prove their advocacy of or epo*tacy from the sacred truth, and h* looked upon th recent introduction of the que lion Into Europe, by Prance, of a syst m of unification of coinage u* the primary step toward the ultimate development of this great ordeal.
