British ship Eurydice on the 20th ult. The steamers
Isabel and Charles Morgan had reached Oreytown
from New Orleans, and landed 500 men for Walker.
A brig from New Orleans was expected at Orey-
town for Walker, and would be stopped on her
arrival by the Earydioe. The United States steam-
ers Fulton and Merriman, with her Britannic
Majesty's steamer Termagant, were daily expected,
with two French ships, to join the blockade. In
the Banta Rosa fight Walker lost twenty-lix men,
and Costa Rica fifteen men and four officers.

President Mora invaded Nicaragua with 2,500
men, and was to attack Walker in Rini about the
19th ult. 2,000 men left Cogutipeque„Saludor, on
the 14th, to help Costa Rica.
Heavy rains had fallen in Jamaica. The streets
in Kingston were converted into formidable rivers,
brick walls had been precipitated to a distance of fifty
feet, small houses in the suburbs, and gullies, have
been washed away. The rains have washed up a
diabolical instrument of human torture; it is made of
iron hoops with screws, and is so constructed u to fit
the largest or smallest person ; attached to it are
manacles for the hands. The inside of the knee bars
and the resting place for the soles of the feet are
studded with spikes. When found, the perfect
skeleton of a 'egress was enclosed in the instrument.l
The Morning Herold says:—"We learn from
Islay (Peru) that Mr. Gibson's (the Ame-
rican Consul) residence was attacked end
fired into by the soldiers. It appears that some
persons, wishing to overthrow Castillon's govern-
ment, entered Islay, end bribed the soldiers, who,
however, informed the authorities. The rioters
were ordered to be apprehended, and one of them
rushed into Mr. Gibson's house for protection-
The soldiers, without asking Mr. Gibson to deliver
him up, fired volley after volley into the premise.,
which were riddled with balls in every direction.
They rushed into the house, firing as they proceeded,
and never desisted till Mr. Gibson threw down a
IlFrench flag amongst them. It is wonderful how he
and his family escaped death. The man who was
the cases of all this disturbance wee employed, it is
said, by some party who is in the pay of the former
President."
