The Thames also brings mails from the west coast
of South America, received at Panama by the Pa-
cific Company's steam-ship Lima, which vessel had
on freight treasure value $200,000 for conveyance
to England, and dates from Valparaiso, August

bija, 19 ; Iquique, 19 ; Arica, 20 ; Islay, 21; Callao,

The outward voyage of the Thames occupied
161 days. She left St. Thomas's on the 15th ult.,
and the homeward run has, therefore, been per-
formed in a little over 16 days. She brings 86.
passengers, among whom are Mr. Riddel, late
acting as British Charge d'Affaires at Caraccas ;
Captain Wood, R.N., late commander of the Pa-
cific steamer Quito ; Archdeacon Panton and lady,
from Jamaica, &c. The freight list comprises
specie from the Gulf of Mexico value 2,409,539
dots., of which 81,000 dols. is for account of the
Mexican bondholders. Besides this there are 43
packages of specie and bullion, value unknown ;
the total amount brought by the Thames being
supposed to be about 2,700,000 dols., or say,
540,0001. sterling. There is also on freight 60
bales of sarsaparilla, 83 packages of pimento, seven
live turtle, two cases of tortoise-shell, six cases of
succades, and sundry merchandise. A large quan-
tity of freight from Havannah brought up to St.
Thomas's by the Mexican gulf packet was left
behind by the Thames,. in consequence of insuffi-
cient time to transfer it so as to allow of her leaving
at the appointed date. It will be brought home by

"The railroad is making better advance than before
for many months, at both ends that are now in progress
—a point near Metuchin and Panama—and the feeling
of confidence exhibited by those best acquainted with
what is doing and what is to be done fully convinces us
that no time is now being lost. The health of all the
Isthmus is better than usual. The season has been at-
tended with an unusually small quantity of rain, and we
have entirely escaped a freshet on the Chagres river. At
Barbacoas there is but little doing besides the erection of
the bridge, which is progressing quite as rapidly as could
be expected."

From Peru we learn that Don Domingo Elias
was imprisoned at Callao for writing a paper deny-
ing that there was as much guano as was affirmed
to be in existence by the Government. The Go-
vernment, however, state that there is enough
of the article to last for 18 years • Elias declared
there was not more than enough ?or 8 years' con-
sumption. The Government of Ichinque was not
expected to last long. The war with Bolivia was
in the same state as when the last mail left. A ape-
