THE SOUTH AMERICAN EARTHQUAKE FUND.

The City is coming out well in behalf of the sur-
viving sufferers by the great earthquake in Peru and
Ecuador. The meeting was attended by most of the
City magnates, and five of the great houses—.
Barings • Rothschilds ; Thomson, Bonar, and Co. ;
Fred. Huth and Co. ; and A. Gibbs and Sons—led
off with £l,OOO each. Mr. Meinertzhagen also con-
tributed the same amount. Altogether more than
£ll,OOO has been subscribed. The distribution of the
find is to be entrusted to our diplomatic representa-
tatives at the two republics.

FOREIGN NOTES.

DISARMAMENT.

The German papers believe that the Emperor Napoleon
is about to open a diplomatic campaign in the interests of
peace. Public opinion in France and the unanimous
desire of Europe have at length triumphed. The
Emperor is preparing a great manife'sto at Biarritz. By
this he will invite Europe to a general affiance and to a
common understanding, by which the necessity for arma-
ments will cease, and France, as well as other nations, will
be relieved from the burden which presses upon them so
heavily. The report is too good to gain much credence.
