The news from Mexico is not very ample. Friday's Times,

however, contains a telegram from Mexico City stating that President Diaz actually resigned at a quarter to five on Thursday afternoon, and Senor Delabarra automatically became Provisional President. The streets were thronged, but there seems to have been no violence such as on. the previous day disgraced the city. The complete restoration of order will, we fear, be a long and difficult business. The Spanish-American, when he has once tasted the sweets Of insurrectionary disorder, finds it difficult to settle down to ordinary peace and quiet. We wish the Mexicans well, but we most sincerely trust that, in the rearrangements, care will be taken to lay the hideous spectre of slavery which still haunts many provinces of the Republic.
