Video,. but the result had not transpired at the latter
place. The accounts from Buenos Apes state, that
the Six per Cent. Stock of the Loan negociated in
London was selling at 50 to 55, and trade was very
dull. Great energy had been displayed by the Na-
tional Bank (the two Banks being incorporated under
that name) ; the interest, from 9 per cent. per annum,
had been reduced to 6 per cent. per annum, and the
Bank discounted freely at the reduction. Shares of
one thousand dollars each sold at a premium of "244
per cent.

sanguine hopes of the. projectors of the pearl
have, it is said, suffered some disappointment

in the

Bay of Panama, where the largest and fiiiest
pearls are known to be produced. Their first attempts
in that sea, from the beginning to the middle of 'Pe-
bruary, had been frustrated by the peculiar nature of
the bottom, which proved most unfavourable to the
operations of the bell. The ground -to Which they
were directed by their pilots and the native divers was
invariably found to be uneven and rocky, affording no
safe resting place to the machine, which, in spite of
its enormous weight, was further endangered by the
violence of the under currents. The pearl-oysters
were never found in the .masses or beds, according to
previous expectation, but singly and in small elusters,
attached to the crevices of rocks, and thus sheltered
from the force of the under currents. The' Colombia
was left engaged in further-investigations, and the only
chance of success on that side seemed to depend
Upon the discovery of extensive oyster-beds, similar
to those in ;the coast of Ceylon and the Persian

Gulf.

The Mary merchant vessel has arrived at Plymouth
from Lima, with papers and letters to the 26th of Ja-
nuary. The former merely contain the particulars of
the capitulation of Callao ; the latter are of some
interest as to the commercial advantages likely to re-
sult from a free intercourse with Peru. The expellees
of conveying goods from Haucho (the port to which
the English trade chiefly was directed during the occu-
pation of Callao by Rodil) to the Lima market, ex.- ,
ceeded all the cost of transmitting goods from England:
to the coast of Peru. The merchants in consequence
anticipate great advantages from the direct traffic
with this country. It would appear that Rodil held
out the Castle of Callao to the last extremity. Santa
Rosa was stormed, and the suns spiked on the 6th of
January. Rodil had anticipated such an event, end
laid a train to blow up the Patriot forces, which, hap-
pily, was discovered in time to prevent the catastrophe.
The disease in the garrison of Callao was so greets
that, immediately after its surrender, an order was pub-
lished to prevent all persons from aroachi it. Bo-
livar was expected at Lima towarpdsp ng

The brig Hunter, from Bourdeaux, fell in with
wreck of an English ship, laden with timber, in lat.
45.58. long. 22. 30. Part of three human skeletons
were found on board, which, from appearances, the
crew had subsisted upon for some time. Pieces of
flesh, with long hair, and several articles of female.
dress, were found, the whole presenting a scene of
distress not to be described.
