**We have received the following interesting article from a gentleman who has been engaged in the silver mines of Mexico for a period of over a quarter of a century, and is now at the head of the mining company of Pachuca and Real del Monte. Notes for estimating, as far as relates to the Republic of Mexico, the probable increase in the produce of the precious metals, and in the consumption of Quicksilver, by the event of the latter metal being considerably diminished in value.

There can be no doubt that a great reduction in the value of quicksilver will in some degree contribute to augment the produce of silver; but not, I think, to that extent which many suppose; and my reason for coming to this conclusion is, that there are other circumstances which in this country bear with far more influence on the working of silver mines, than the cost of this ingredient.
