FROM THE PACIFIC.

At Valparaiso exchange was quoted on London
at 46d., with an upward tendency. Mercantile
affairs still continued in a depressed state, and
money scarce.

The political state of the country was more satis-
factory, and the liberal administration of Senor
Perez, combined with the decided attitude of the
country, centinued to gain the confidence and the
good-will of the people.
Off Point Antonio, a place some forty miles south
of Valparaiso, a French transport ship, the Re-
source, bound to Callao, was wrecked. Upwards of
600 souls were on board when she struck, and it
was reported that not mare than five or six persons
were saved. The Duguay Trouin, French line-of•
battle ship, stationed at Valparaiso, proceeded to
the scene of the wreck on the evening of the 17th
ult., but was unable to render any assistance, as
the vessel was under water, with only a portion of
her masts above the surface.

At Cobija, Nov. 22, the British barque Anne
Pitcairn, of Alaryport, which sailed from Cobija
on the 13th for Galico, struck upon a rock and
became a total wreck. The cargo, consisting of
about 300 bales wool and 1,000 hides, was saved,
bat in a damaged state.
At Isle7,Nov, 24, it was reported that San Ramon
had been joined in Arequipa with 3,000 more troops.
In consequence all kinds of provisions were selling
very dear.
H.B.M.'s ship Clio was at Callao.

Exchange in Lima, 371.
The news from Bolivia is by no means encourag-
ing. It was thought more blood would shortly be
shed in addition to 'the terrible massacre recently
perpetrated.
General San Ramon had received a large num-
ber of votes for the Presidency of Peru, and was
expected to be elected.
Trouble was expected during the elections.
From Guayaquil there is no news of importance.
The foreign residents in TEmaco had addressed
a letter to the consuls at Panama, soliciting their
interference in the outrages perpetrated on them
by the Arboleda administration.
Ou the 25th November the New Granadian block-
ading schooner ran ashore and went to pieces in the
mouth of the Charambra, Buenaventura. The cap-
tain and crew were taken prisoners by the Mos-
quera forces, so that the blockade is terminated.
The brig French Bazaar was captured in running
the blockade at Buenaventura, and afterwards went
ashore and to pieces.

There was a probability of another collision be-
tween the Church and State in Salvador. The result
was expected to be the entire defeat of the priest

party.

The coffee crop in Costa Rica was not expected
to come up to the average, and would prob• Ably fall
short of 80,000 quintals. The harvest was expected
to be very bad, and the crop ready for shipment by
the end of the year. Quotations ranged very high.

SPECIAL EXPRESS.—THE AMERICAN MAIL.—
The American mails by the Africa, which were larded at
Queenstown yesterday morning about 3 a.m., left Queens-
town by special boat to Cork at 340 a.m. A special train
conveyed them to Dublin, and thence to Kingstown, where
a special boat, which had been kept in steam all night, was
in readiness to carry them to ',Holyhead. They left Holy-
head by a special engine, which had also been kept in wait-
ing all night, and arrived at Elision-square at 10 minutes
before 9 in the evening, having thus accomplished the jour.
ney from Queenstown to London in 17 hours and 10 mi-
nutes, The distance from Holyhead to London (264 miles)
was accomplished in five hours and 43 minutes, including
all stops and delays by impediments on the line. This is
probably the most extraordinary expressing •on record,
bearing in mind the fact that the railway company had very
short notice of the intentions of the Post-office, and that
the ordinary traffic of this important line did not admit of
interruption.
