CITY, Two o'CLocK. Letters from Liverpool mention that the Cotton Market yesterday closed very firmly, and prices of all descriptions tended upwards. The sales amounted to 15,000 bales, 2,000 of which were taken on speculation, and 2,000 for export. The Railway Share Market manifested a ,steady ap pearance, and quotations were fully maintained. The amount of gold taken from the Bank yes'er day was only 11,0001., but the return which will be published in the Gazette to-morrow evening is expected to show a large falling off in the bullion, the withdrawals during the last week or ten days having exceeded a quarter of a million sterling. It has chiefly been appropriated to the purchase of silver, which is in demand at firm prices, although the state of the Eastern exchanges remains without alteration, and there seems nothing to justify the impression that remittances on a large scale will be resumed. When the gold, known to be coming from Australia arrives, the temporary deficit caused by the recent efflux will, no doubt, be made up, unless the adverse Movement should be accelerated, and this seems scarcely probable, seeing that the continental de mand continues quiet. Ihe Bank of France having a superabundance of precious metals, does not re quire supplies from this country, and it is only at periods when tie authorities there open contracts for large quantities of gold, that any serious dis turbance in connextion with the specie movement is experienced. There is a moderate demand for discount accom modation, and the brokers find increased employ ment, but the general terms remain without any material change. At the Vauxhall-bridge Company's meeting, to day, a dividend of 12s. per share was declared. Renewed buoyancy is perceptible in the market for English Stocks, and the settlement has pro ceeded satisfactorily. Some moderate purchases have been made for investment as well as on specu lation, and although the movement in prices has been limited, the tendency is very favourable. Consols for transfer have been 971 2 ; and for June 2,97 i and 97i 98. The New Three per Cents. are 96 4, and also the Reduced India Loan Deben tures are 1001 2.

Parrodi, after his defeat at Salamanca, bad capitulated at Guada lajara on the 23d of March, which would probably lead to the pacification of the interior and the adhesion of the army to the present Administration. Although this seems to put an end to the government of Senor Juarez, Vera Cruz still hell out, and Tampico was besieged when the packet left. No Minister of Finance had as yet been appofnted.

THE CALAMITY IN GILBBET-STREET. Leasing .Companies Closing Prices this day Business this day. COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH.. The labours of the coroner and jury, who have so frequently assembled to investigate the cause of this melancholy catastrophe, have now come to a close. (Sittings in Banco.—Before Lord Campbell, Justices Wightman, Erl-, and Crompton.) The following is their verdict : "That the members of the Smith family (except Richard Smith, the younger) were found dead in the ruins of a certain house at.d premises which had been destroyed by fire, and that the deaths were caused by the mortal effects of certain poisonous fumes and common wood smoke produced by the said fire ; and the jurors aforesaid further say, that in what part of the house and premises aforesaid the said fire originated, and by what means the said fire was caused, they have fiend it to be impossible to discover. 138 9 Teat William Hedger, the younger, was found dead in the ruins of a certain house which had been destroyed by fire, and that the death of the said William Hedger, the younger, was caused by the mort a l effects of suffo cation by smoke produced by the fire . ak.resaicl. "That Richard Smith, the younger, did die from the mortal effects of fracture of divers of his ribs, caused by his falling from a certain house when it was on fire, and placed his life in danger therefrom." To the foregoing verdicts the following presentment of thejury was added— " In returning our verdict we feel that it is our duty to state that the owner of the house No. 20, Gilbert street (Mr. Taylor), was guilty of great and culpable neglect in not making a brick wall between the said house in Gilbert-street and Mr. Calvert's show-room ad joining ; and we are of opinion that the following altera tions should be made in the laws relating to the con struction of buildings and the management of fire-engines as explained in the very able and valuable official report of Mr. Marsh Nelson, the architect appointed to inquire into the melancholy accident, viz.:— " 1. The amendment of the Building Act, to prevent the erection of houses such as was lately the house No. 20, Gilbert-street. "2. The amendment of the Common Lodging-house Act and the Nuisances Removal Act, to prevent the overcrowding of rooms such as were occupied by the unfortunate families of the Smiths and Hedgers is the said house. "The amendment of the Metropolitan Lncal Manage ment Act, to prevent the streets being obstructed by horizontal shores, or struts such as delayed the approach of the fire-escape on its way to the late fire. " 4. The amendment of the unrepcaled clauses of the old Building Act, 14th of George 111., cap. 73, so as to create for the metropolis a fire brigade and fire escape establishment icdependent of private or parochial con tra—the funds being already provided for by the said act. " 5. That the Act of the 10th Vic., cap. 17 (Water Supply Consolidation), be amended so as to provide for an ample supply of water in case of outbreak of fire. "6, and finally. That provision be made by law, in conformity with the suggestions of Mr. Nelson, to plat, iu connection police-stations, fire engine stations, fife escape ladders, aad the supply of water in case of fire; the whole of such establishments throughout the metre polls and its suburbs being rendered instantly available for the public service in case of necessity' by means of the electric telegraph. " The jury cannot terminate their painful inquiry without exoreseing their feelings f admiration cf the Praiseworthy conduct cf John Curls in assisting the Eastwood family to make their escape."

The Attorney-General showed cause against a rule obtained against Mr. T. Danielle, an attorney, carrying on business at Amerebam, Bucks, to show cause why he should not be struck off the rolls of the Court. The in formation, which was an affidavit, alleged that Mr. Daniells had taken money from clients before be was ad mitted, for services rendered as an attorney, and also for misconduct in reference to certain estates he had the management of. Proceedings had also been taken against him in the latter case in Chancery. As the inquiry involved an investigation into accounts of a very complicated and intricate character, and had reference to charges under investigation in the Court of Chancery, the matter was referred to one of the Masters of the Court, with full power to investigate the charges and report to the court. ELECTION OF CHURCHWARDEN. Mr. Pashley, Q.C., obtained a quo varranto under the following circumstances. In April la•t an election for churchwarden took place at Ack worth, in Yorkshire. The rector was in the chair and nominated his church warden. The parishioners present proceeded to the election of a second churchwarden. Mr. Roberts was proposed, and also Mr. Wade. The rector took down the names of the parishoners present and how they voted. On adding up the numbers, he found 66 had voted for Wade, and 23 for Mr. Robert., and he conse quently declared the former elected. Afterwards Mr. Roberts said he should hold a poll to-morrow at Lauen, Ackwortb, which he did, and was elected. He then went before the Archdeacon, was sworn in, and acted. The question was the validity of his election, and if the poll had been properly demanded. Rule granted. ROLLS COURT'. (Before the Mater of the Rolia ) HAGGARD V. MA.CKENZIE-JUDGMENT. His Honour the Master of the Rolls, in delivering judgment in this case, said that the question to be de cided depended solely and entirely en the state of poe. session of the goods in dispute. The facts of the case appeared to be these :—Messrs. Campbell and Co., of Glasgow, were anxioul to extend their business to London, and with that view they took prerni:zes in London, and appointed the plaintiff salesman and manager at a salary of 1001. a-year, cnnsigned their goods to him for sale, and afterwards became bankrupt. The plaintiff claimed a lien upon the stock of goods consigned to him for cash advances for indemnity of bills and promissory notes gsanted by him in carrying on the business of the company. The assignee in bankruptcy claimed the money drawn for the sale of the stock for the benefit of the creditors. His Honour was of opinion that Messrs. Campbell and Co., never parted with the legal possession of their goods, that the goods were only consigned to the plain tiff, as their salesman, for sale, and that he had no preferable claim upon the goods for his advances, whatever claim he might have against the company's estate. His Honour made a dec!aratory order for payment of pr o w p i without ocuats case o s be as brought a u i g n h s t t e t ti o d bla he paid ou t o f t h e common the money drawn for the sale , of th e s t oc k to t h e c fli c i a l st th sa eitherassignee, party, a r'd b d u i i thes dismissed fbaenfedr,e as s O ll w r a t s . a fair DIVORCE COURT.

Mr. Pullen applied for leave to award the petition in this case, which was a suit for divorce on the part of the husband, on the ground of adultery by the wife ; and also for the Court to hear th, ease on affidavits ant not on oral evidence, and without a jury. The plaintiff brought an action azain4 correspondent (Colonel M'Donald), in the Court of C, , eurnon Pleas, and ob tained a verdict. Notice had been given to the w;fe, but she did not appear. Notice bad also been given to Colonel M`Donald, who had entered an appearance. Dr. De one, on the part of Cul. M`Donald, assented to the application. ' The Court assented.

D evies, Esq., magistrate of Azimghur, I marched from Camp, Koelsa, about 3 a.m., on the 21st instant, and proceeded to Attrowleea, so as to arrive at the latter place at day light, with 96 rank and file of her Majesty's 37th, one 24-pounder howiltier, one 9-pounder, 22 European gun ners Bengal Artillery. and 140 Madras cavalry. Information had been received that a considerable body of mutineers were in the neighbourhood of Attrowleea. I found them posted in several topes of mangos trees, and I advanced with skirmishers thrown out in front, the guns being supported by a party of her Majesty's 37th Regiment, and the Madras Cavalry on the flanks tinder Colonel Cumbelege. We fel lowed them as they retired for some distance, when shortly afterwarda they were driven into the open coun try. The cavalry were then enabled to act, and cut up a few of the rebels ; but the ground was so very marshy and unsound for the horses that the purenic could not be continued. Lieut. Welsh, however, by sending a shell right in the midst of them, completed the discom fiture of the rebels, who quickly dispersed among the neighbouring trees. After this I continued nay march to Lorha, which place I reached without any further oc curence, and set the village on fire. Having effected the object for which I set out from Koelea. I quietly marched back to Attrowlees. The men were halted in the neighbourhood of this village in topes of trees, and breakfast Wa3 being prepared by the co , ks, when news was brought in suddenly that the rebels were ad vancing in great force. I proceeded with some skir mishers to ascertain their strength, and found them strongly posted behind a mud wall in the midSt of topes of trees and sugar canes. I then sent back orders for the troops to advance ; but the number of the rebels in creased so fast, and they covered such a large space of ground, that both ray flanks were threatened. Accord ingly I took up my position on a rising piece of ground slightly in my rear ; the rebels attempted to turn my left sank and I withdrew into and through the village of Attrowleea, at about 11t a.m., and moved slowly on roelsa, my Links and rear being covered by the cavalry. The rebels, though they followed and fired at a distance the whole way, never inflicted the slightest damage. Finding, on my arrival at Koelsa, that the camp was threatened, and that the whole population in the district was disaffected, I despatched a squadron M cavalry, sup ported by a small infantry picket, to watch the rebels. They were etuieley charged by the cavalry and suffered a heavy loss, '2l dead bodies being counted on the field besides wounded. Information was, however, received that a large body of rebels, estimated at about 5,000 men, were advancing on the crimp. This created such a panic amongst the camp followers that many of the hackery drivers left their carts, and all the companies' cooks ran away. Under those circumstances, and taking into consideration the position of my camp, which was very untenable in case of a night attack, and that no supplies or liquor of any kind whatever could be obtained for the men, I judged it expedient to retire on Azimghur, which I reached safely this morning. In making this movement. I regret to say that owing to marl of the hackery drivers having run away as I pre viously stated, I was compelled to leave a few tents and sonic baggage behind. The loss of the rebels, I judge, must have been some 70 killed. The ceetialtiee on our side were very trifline : two gunners grazed by bullets ; one trooper, 4th Madras Light Cavalry, severely wounded, and one sower mortally so (since dead). N o thi ng cou ld excee d t h e steadiness of the troops under my command, and I must par ticularly mention the able assistance of Colonel cnennerlego , 4th Madras Li g ht Cavalry ; of Captain com mandieg detachme n t o f her Majesty's 37th Regiment ; of Lieutenant Weleh Bengal A r till er y, f or in firing and moving his eune on b a d groun d . precision The men marched nearly 48 miles by road, exclusive of the ground that was gone over in action, and upon very scanty fare during the whole time. L ieutenant Ricketts, 43rd Bengal Light Infantry, acted as staff officer to my force, and di:played great zeal and activity in his duty. The rebels consisted chiefly of Sepoy s of Keoer Sing's force, and on the bodies of the s l a i n were found Sutlsj and other medals —I am, (Signed) EGE RTON MILLMA N , Colonel of her Majesty's 37th Regiment, Commanding Azimghur Field Force.

MURDER CF THE POOR.—Ever let U 3 remember bow much of the development of our own powers God makes dependent upon our own conduct —how much of the health and strength of the young, God makes dependent upon those who guide them; and oh ! that it could be im• planted in the hearts of all employers—and more especi ally the employers of little children—that he who sub jects the :corking, poor to such a daily routine of seden tary service as readers it impossible for them to obey the law of (x-reisc, is—we will use plain wordy—is g uilty of cutting short their lives ; ay, guilty in the eyes of Heaven of delitietate Murder. Let him not excuse himself by saying " I pay them for tbeir sacrifice ; they consent to !be sacrifice." If such excuse is sound, then must we con rider that man guiltless who, for selfish ends, would Eribe some or other of his fllow-creatur es to put up with insufficient diet daily, or to endure a certain lots of blood daily, or to take a certain amount of poison ugly—the sufferers being induced through ignorance, or urged a. l n , s want, to do what he who mustencur error, and g by the error, well knowsinjure get t h h e eir constitutions, and seed View' to their graves before their Hopley's Lcctere on Bodily Exercise. 20 20 10 St. it. 2) 10) 2) 20i 20i 100 100 914 87 - i 6i 62i 4 1 101 j 31 92 57 i 6i 534 2f 391 i 95 5 64 3i 3 513 2 11 1 91 k 48i 74 7 6 A 6 l i 1 70/ 8 3i 4 RAILWAYS. 100 100 all 100 all 100 Bnckghamsh.

Sir Charles Eastlake's " Good Samaritan," and Sir Thomas Lawrence's " Portrait of Sir Walter Scott," are the chief en grav i ngs i n the current number of this valuable serial. The subject of the first is not treated entirely to our t aste, e i ther as regards poetic conception or artistic detail ; how ever, it is a fine picture, and constitutes a fair spe cimen of Sir C'uailes Eastlake's style of painting. Lawrence's portrait of Scott is, unquestionably, the very best we have of the Great Magician. There is a higher tone of spirituality and mental expression developed in the face than we find in any other portrait of him. Most of the likenesses convey a notion of stolid imperviousness or heavy abstraction, and fail to individualise the mixture of benevolence and intelligence which radiated through the plain and somewhat rugged features of Sir Walter. The picture before us is among the hap piest of the great painter's efforts, and represents the " Genius of Romance" with refined and faith ful accuracy. The statue of Thomas Moore, by his namesake, C. Moore, is nicely engraved by Roffe. The numerous vignettes and sketches scat tered through the work are of a very interesting class, including Pope's Villa, Pope's Monument, and Strawberry Hill, accAnpanied by descriptions from the clever - pen of Mrs. S. C. Hall. The general information connected with the fine arts, and criticisms on the present exhibitions, evince the usual ability displayed in the management of this journal. We extract the following sensible remarks from an article on the Royal Academy : "If the Royal Academy were w e ll i ns tit u t e d a t th e period of its creation, its institutions must for that ex. press reason be ill suited to the wants of the p r e sen t time. If it were rightly shaped to the Art conditions amid which it saw the light, it can have no due adjust• ment to the Art conditions which surround and appeal to its maturity. The very theory of its perfection nicety years ago, must, interpreted according to the mere letter, be the theory of its insufficiency today. "To say, merely, that the constituency for a national institution which shall be an adequate embodiment and representation of the Fine Arts amongst us at the pre sent time is, at the least, six times as large as that out of which the Royal Academy originally i• sued, is to give a very inc.implste expression to the amount of the ie. terests now pressing for representation by means of such an institution. The mere numbers of the artists who constitute the true Art body of the nation now, and who should therefore force a part of any institution which affects generally to incorporate our artists, is—as we shall shortly have to show—a part only of the facts in the case, —though a part of itself sufficient, if there were no more, to sustain the argument for a new solution of the Academy question. When first it was felt expedient to give academic figure, and something like means of corprate action, to our native arts, the number of artists thought necessary to compose an academic presence of sufficient dignity and consistency was , obtained,—and that, not without difficulty, and some delay,—only by admitting complimentarily into the body two classes of perscns who are , (*eluded from membership to-day,—foreigners and females. It may be questioned much, whether the age was ripe for a native Academy of Ales which could not find amongst the body of native artists a sufficiel t number of members to ccnstitu.e such Academy. Ba that as it may, however,—out of the thirty-six Academicians whom alone it was found possible at the beginning to get together towards the full number of forty which was the appointed figure of the young insti tution, nine were recruited from the ranks of farergn artists—without seeking to ieclule in that category its future president, the American, West—r nd two, Mary Moser and Angelica Kauffman, belonged to what we apprehend is considered (though we are not qui e cer tain whether the modern exclusion be formal or merely casual), the nor.-academic I-EX. Toe exclusion of the foreigner from a native Academy of Arts---t xcept under some system of honorary attache-hip, to be inc.:rporated into its new and enlarged constitutions, when we sot them—will be recognised at once, we apprehend, as a sound pvinc:p'e. The exclusion of fetnalo art, %here it can make its tulle td admission g.-od on all otter grounds than that of the artis,'s sex a 101 , ,, we hose to see either justified on some argument a Lich for ourselves we tail to discover, or aba.nooned as resting on no fp.od argu ment at all. There are, our readers know, some strange motives operating, avowedly and otherwise, as the basis of action in this Academy ; but we fancy that even an insti:ution which appoints its professors not to profuse, and gives its annual dinner as a sort of picture trade sale, would yet ha: irate to uggest the alliteration as a reason for placing the female in the category of the foreigner. We should not, however, litre to assign a limit to what same of the older and less apprehensive members cf the Academy would do in the direction cf the whimsical. Bu - , even if it should be finally deter mined, that the higher rank of the Acadernicianship is a senate, and its inembirs must wear bards—arid, on business grounds, and some other grounds of very sound policy, there is sufficient argument why this should be so—we can yet see no avoe able reason for refusing the properly-constituted claim of the lady artist to associ ateship, when the Associates' door shall have Seen opened, as we hope to see it, sufficiently wile to let in the body generally of the profession." The Eclectic Review. Ward and Co. The Eclectic Review has more subjects of general interest in this number than usual. It is true we meet with an :article entitled " Plotinus, and the Neo-Pla,tonists," which is sufficient to afford employment to the most mystical of Ger mans ; but its very name will warn the uninitiated, and prevent them from trusting themselves in its mazes. " The Future Government of India," which rival politicians appear to find as perplexing as MM. Vacherot and San,m's history of " Gt.os ticism Neo-Plat onisin, and Alexandrian Scepti cism," will at least affor i more pleasant fettling; and the notices of new books, forming the topic of articles, give ttn,agrceablevariety. The criticism on Mr. Reade's poetical works has some very just oh s•-nvations on the impoitanceofrhythmical harmony in verse, a truth Which is very much neglected among our spasmodics and other new schools. It is true that the reader is often too thankful if he ar rives at the meaning at all, to be very particular as to tile way he travels by, though that has oftener more resemblance to the macadamised roads of modern times than to the velvet slept s of Parnassus. It is curious that the possession of a fine rhyth mical ear does not seem to be dependant on an ear for music. " Coleridge could not stutter through a stave of a tune, yet his verses are the most melo dious in our language. Even Robert Burns, whose songs were rocked into their flowing shape under the spinning, whirring impulse of the time to which they are set, could with difficulty distinguish one tune from another in his boyhood, while en the other hand, Robert Browning, who is famedfor his musical talent, glories in the most rugged anii uncouth metres in his poem-." " Tom Brown's School Days," and Mr. Meredith's" Farina" are among the other works noticed. The Mechanic's .211agasine._ Robertson, Brooman, and Co. We are glad to find this valuable serial s! ill maintain its character. A knowledge of mechani cal science is so extensively necessary among our artisans that those who are not dir-cly employed in the science will find it one of the most useful things to acquire. On the other baud the numer ous amatQurs and men of science who cultivate this branch of knowledge in its widest extent, and most elevated aims, must find a work of this kind, in which they can compare the remits of their own expetience will those of others, or find in come novel application of an old principle a solution of their difficUlties, of very great s::rvice to them. The advantages it offers as a channel of communication for scientific men is another recommendation, and ' information is given respecting the topics of the day which are in any way connected with the sciences it treats of. The eclipse of the sun, the late launch of the Leviathan, the submarine tele graph, ate discussed and commented upon in its pages. The principles on which these operations ale conducted, the difficulties attending the me chanical processes, and all similar information, is recorded. The woodcuts afford a good idea of the machinery illustrated ; and all this useful scientific instruction is presented to the public at a price which places it above the leach of few. Titan. James Hogg and Sons. Titan, has several articles to calm - mild it to the notice of the reader. A paper on the p:)etry of youk in Fiance deserves attention. It traces the Mal effects of their specious sophistries upon the lives of the writers themselves as well as on their readers. The extracts given afford a good idea of the style and power of toe writers without offend ing the reader. " Which 7—Eddies round the Rectory," is the singular title of a pleasant domes tic story of country life, giving some amusing sketches of rustic notabilities. The articles on mis cellaneous subjects i.nd the extracts and scr l aps float new books, &c., combine to make up a p ea , sant magazine. Le Follet.—The fair followers of fashion will find their capricious ru'or offering. them many novelties for their edification along with the spring sunshine. [a addition to the usual plates, "Le Follet" gives us an extensive variety of ,new de signs for mantles, in wiuch, truth to tell, fashion is more consulted than elegance. But as they be lo7g to a branch of the fine arts which defies cri'i cisni, it is enough to say that this s'?rial furnishes all necessary iustruction3 for the selection of a toilette comae it fact. Nabton's London Journal. This serial contains its accustomed lisis of patents, which include most of the recent improve ments in all kinds of manufacture. Tee introduc tory paper is on London Sewage and the sea-reach project. Thi reports of inst.tutions are included in the usual scientific notice 9, and a list of grants of provisional protections under the new law a added. It will be useful to those connected with manufactures by affording them an opportunity of judging of the new patents and plans for improve. menu. THE ALHAMBRA PALACE, LEICESTER.. SQUARE. Those who wish to behold the extent to which "'vaulting► ambition . ' can arrive, and the wonderful degree in which man can imp3rsonate the fabulous Centaur and become part of his horse, cannot do better than pay a visit to the Alhambra Palace and witness the performance of the troupe now holding their Olympian revels there. Two hours of entertainment arc afforded of the best hip podromatic character yet presented to the English public, and so rapid and well arranged is the progress of the various amusements that none of the weariness is experienced that usually attends this class of exhibi• tion. The bold riding of Mr. James Robinson and Mr. Davis Richards on bare-backed hordes. —tossing summersaults, and jumping hurdles, with other startling perpetrations, in their "wild career," is something , that we can admire and applaud with genuine heartiness. A couple of mules, who must certainly have lost the "ass" portion of their progenitorehip, are introduced, and acquit themselves in a manner highly creditable to their classical education stopping, b o lti ng, jumping, and kicking, with mathematical precision and co.aic effect, provoking shouts of laughter, and minister ing to that amiable tendency of our nature which la. variably prompts us tl chuckle with delight when our fri,nd or neighbour meets with a ridiculous " upset." Mr. Murray's beautiful steed "Black Eagle" is a higbly•trained animal, displaying great docility and intelligence, and going through his waltzes and polkas with much more elegance and decorum than we have fecquently observed in fashionable salons. The acrobatic feat of "La Perche " is given in a novel manner—the performer lying on his back at the top of the pole, and dancing a globe on the soles of his feet for many minutes. A troupe of Bedouin Arabs conclude the entertainment, with numerous spirited and agile "evo lutions, dismissing crowded audiences in a pleasant state of combined astonishment and gratification. ADE L.PIII THEATRE. Miss Roden, who made her debut at Easter, and who has been performing with distinguished success at this pleasant theatre ever since, took her benefit last night, when the crowded state of the house afforded gratifying evidence of the progress which a plea,:ing actress and excellent singer has made within a brief period in the favour of the public. Miss Roien's conception of the character she as sumes is invariably gn:ceful and intelligent, while the perfect ease and unafEcted elegance of her manner have a gentle charm which never fails to awaken the interest and sympathy of her audience. THE SWTH AMERICAN REPUBLICS. By the arr:v4l at Southampton of the West India mad :steamer Orinoco we have received files of the Panama star and 'Jerald to April 8. The steamship Bogota, from Valparaiso and in termediat3 rorts, arrived in Panama Bay on the rrorniugt of the 6h. Her news is itteresting, as it briugi intedigence of the overthrow of the revolu tiouary artuy in Peru, particulars of which are viven in the subjoiutd letters : "Ar!ca, March 21. " Castilla has at last taken Arequipa by ttonn, on the 7th inst., not, however, without a severe lo,s. The narrative of the battle is terrific ;au eyewitne-s Awes that the blood ran down the bar ricalts in st. cams six hours after the fight ; that the Batallon de Ayacucho' defending the barri cades, and said to be 600 strong, were all killed, with the exception of 40. " The Apurimac, Arauco, and Lambayeque sailed y,sterday to Callao, to be delivered up to the Govtrnm,nt. Her Britannic Majesty's steam sloop 1-twribution also left yesterday for China ; the G.trzes ' with Admir.il Baynes on board, and the United States sloap of %ar Merrimac, are expected to pay us a visit shortly. "Callao, March 27. " The last act of the Castilla and Vivanco revo lution was concluded on the days of the 7th and Bth of this month by one of the most sanguinary battles ever fought in South America ; and Castilla is now master of Arequipa. Vivanco, with a few friends, has retired to Bolivia. Tae loss on both sides is over 2,000 killed, and the city is filled with wounded. The general impression is (owing to so few medical men being in Arequipa) that the loan of life among the wounded will Le large for want of proper attendance ; it is proposed to send down by this steamer a large staff of surgeons to render assistance 'to the few that are there. When the news first arrived none believed it, for Arequipa has always been considered impreg nable ; but whatever doubts there might have been in the matter they were soon dispelled by the arrival of the frigate Apurimac Captain Mon t -ro, for the purpose of submitting her to the Government, Captain Montero and General Riva 7, however, dictating their own terms which have been accepted by the Government, and by which they agree to respect the property and guarantee the liberty of all officers, soldiers, arid seamen engaged on the Apririmac ; that those who wish to leave the country way do so at their own leisure ; that the pay due to the soldiers and seamen shall be paid by the Government •, the frigates Apurimac, Peytania, and Huaras to be delivered under inven tory by the present possessors to the Government." It 'cas rumoured at Callao that General Castilla intended to pu,h the war into Bolivia, probably to place his frieuda Cordova or Belzu at the head of affairs in that country. Business was very dull at Callao. There were ft great many American ships in the bay seeking charters, but the rates were so low that they would not accept them. Next to the excitement caused by the rpws of the fill of Arequipa was the arrival of the Unit•-d. States' frigate Merrimac, which was daily crowded with visitors. The ship Lizzie Thompson and the bark Georgina were still held as przes, and would probably be sold. From Valparaiso dates are to the 16th of March. Considerable excitement existed in the Republic of Chili r. garding the coming elections, the Conser vative and Liberal parties having joined their in fluence to oppose the Government candidates. The harvest throughout the country had turned out well, and the crops had been stored without serious loss from untimely rains. Business was very dull, and the payment of bills as slow as ever. A letter f: om Psyts announces the death at that place, where he had gone for the benefit of his health, of Dr. Oakford, United States' Consul at Tnmbez, on the 19th of March. His remaius were interred with great ceremony. UNIVERSITY OF LONDON. Yesterday a presentation of degrees, Arc., at this University took place at Bfirlington house, Piccadilly. Lord Granville, the Chancellor of the University, presided, and there was a large attendance of ladies and gentlemen. After t a report had been read by the regiFitrar, detailing the progress of the University during the course of the last academical year, Lord Granville addressed cornpaoy. He alluded with satisfaction_ to the re. expressed Snl t 3 which had been obtained from. an tn d e establish ment of the University of London, th increasing atteu his opinion that some part of f ton given to the education a p last few years, and which b d laeldletcola:s r e e s et w i th p in re t v h e e . epoch was open given by that Uni versity. He believed thatthat ment, was owing to the a gloricus future was lord, referring to the The uatnusew honours of the University to those extension i t • o ese t r h v e e lj d f n o iv r e it r . sity, of the htoofore enjoyed them, said, the who bad not ile actuated in the slightest de- Senate had no b gree by any want of respect to the cause of public They might sometimes had distinguished himself in t a man who Piek ° l l l l O had not done so at the University; but, education in this country. onlifethwe other hand, men of high classical honours might pros titute their talents to the woworstpur poies. - He could say that out of 13 scholars no less than seven had risen from the middle class to the peonage. Those honours were not only a passp or t in life but a letter of credit. Those honours had their duties as well as their rights. By them each bad proved to the world that he had talent ; they must further properly apply those talents. By the possession of them they had encouraged hopes in their friends which they were bound to realize ; and, speaking as Chancellor of the University, he ventured also to remind them that the University had a claim upon them to maintain her honour and proclaim her utiliiy. His lordship made some further remarks on the advantages of University edu:‘at]on, and concluded by saying he trusted they would persevere and derive from temporary failure an in ten' iv eto further exertion. The presentations to the Chancellor for degrees then took place,. e which wer e succee d e d by the presentation to _ th e Chancellor of the successful candidates for soholar ships, exhibitions, medals, and prizes.
