LATEST FROM PERU.
Correspondence Of the Journal Of Commerce.
LIMA. March 18th 1872

Our markets in bad state; and any improve
ment must depend mainly on the political state of the
country, which we sorry TO say has experienced
anything but Improvement since our last advlces-
The Bovians still occupy the Southern part of Peru,
and the Peruvans must have, by this time, fully 5000
concentrating near Cuzco to commence active
operations the rains in the Cordil
Ieras. We fear they will be again defeated, and the
consequences, if So will be and distressing
Things too, have gone with northern neigh
bors, and the Peruvian Minister, who had asked his
pass, ort and left Quito, has arrived here. The
Ecuatorian government has named one to come here
and reopen negotiations Still, Gen. Flores pacific
intentions ale much doubted, and it is believed he
means sooner or later to invade Peru, and finger
awhile her richer A Northern army ofob-
servaion is consequently being formed, to resist the
aggression feared from that quarter. This exraordi-
nary demand on the resources and population of the
country, is runous; and until we have peace and
order, good can be expected.
In such state of affairs it is almost superfuous to
talk of business prices being almost nominal as re-
CARDS sales. The stock of grey goods is heavy, and
as prices giving way somewhat in Valparaiso, we
fear we shall also have to come down here.

THE EARTHQUAKE AT ST. DOMINGO

THE EARTHQUAKE AT ST. DOMINGO.
The earthquake which has been so destructive Of
life and property IN ST. Domingo took place at 5, r.
NJ, on the 7th instant. The New York Express has
papers, fron which the following particulars OBJ
tanned: t
The approach Of the earthquake indicated in
Port Prince by great heat, and heavy clouds that
covered the negbborng hills, and followed the direc-
ton Of the southwest to the northeast.
The vessels at anchor, of the sailors report,
experienced the shock before they the houses agi
lated, which seemed to indicate that the shock came
from the West
There were two shocks at Port au Prince very dis
tInctly felt the first not SO long the second which
last endured about three minutes Every person strove
to get out of the houses and the streets filled
with the affrighted population.
On the night of the 7th, and also on the Sth, 9th
and 10Th, the shocks were repeated.
81. Marc.-A letter from this town says that the
earthQ uake felt there with violence. Many hous-
es seriously damaged, and some destroyed, but
| no loss of life is mentioned.
At Gonaires the shocks were yet more serious
| The greater part of the houses overthrown.
fire broke out at the lime and there was not
drOpo water in town. All the houses that were not
burnt suffered from the earthquake. 1t was in the
streets that the writer OF the letter giving this account
was nditing it. The Church, the Prison. the Palais
National the Treasury and the Arsenal were all de-
| stroyed
| This letter concludes at A. M. by saying:
sit is only half hour since that we felt very
| great commoton. At present, are ignorant of The
number of persons killed wounded All the prison
who not buried in the ruins, are escaped God
grant that Port Prince may not have experienced
| such disaster"
CAPE HAYTEN.-- The toacn Of Cape Hdytien has
entirely disappeared, and leth 1t taoo-hirds Of me
| populati H. The families that could escape are fled
| to Fossette, where they without an asylum,
| clothing, provisions.
In addition to the above disastrous intelligence from
the Cape courier arrived from the city few hours
previous to the departure of Capt Morris, who stated
that fle broke out after the earthquake, which on
Monday, the 9th, destroyed the powder magazine,
and with it the miserable remnant of the inhabitants
who had escaped the earthquake. The towns of st.
Nicholas and Port Paix are also said TO be destroyed
Other parts OF the island had not been heard from
when Capt Morris left; but it Is conjectured that
| all the tolrns ofMe North are mass Of ruins.

From the american Sentinel.
Much as has been said about the cause of the &C
cident on board the Medora, by which so many lives
were ost-many as have been the inquiries instituted
into the why and wherefore-minute as have been
the neutrality-suspicious. as have been the de-
scrptions of it, and voluminous as have been the
swers thereto, the cause Of the accident has,
opinion, been overlooked. 1t has been said that the
explosion was produced by placing too great weight
upon the safety valve, which regulated to allow
the escape of steam after the accumulation of six
inches, which number Of inches could not, by posi-
bility, have caused the explosion No doubt it was
so caused But what induced the engineer to in
crease the weight and suffer an accumulation of
steam much greater than the capacity Of the boil
to resist? 1t has been insinuaed that the
unfortunate did SO with the design of producing
the catastrophe-no one believes that he had any
other motive than desire to increase the speed of
the boat If he had been better acquainted with the
nature and understood the tremendous power of the
agent with which he was dealing-if he had under
stood the relation between boiler engine and valve
the and effect he would not ,oantonly have tam
pered with the latter. He would have known the
fearful jeopardy in which his life and the lives
of those board would have been placed, and this
knowledge would have insured the lives of all those
who numbered with the dead.
1t was his IGNORANCE of the terrible agent, steam,
which, to crafty short-lived ambition led him in
noceny to do that which, in instant, sent SO many
human beings into eternity and brought sorrow and
distress into SO many families. Ignorance, then,
caused the disaster. How many more useful lives
(and whoO are to be destroyed by the same cause'

am gratifed to announce to you the fact, that the
Report of the Com mittee recommending the choice OF
Commissioners to trea; with the General Government
upon the Northeastern Boundary Question, and In
vestng hem with full powers, has passed the House
of Representatives, in concurrence with the Senate,
with but etepen dissenting potes. T lis day, at IL

Convention, and selected with great unanmity the
following gentlemen te act Commissioners, viz .
Hon. Edward Kavanagh, and Col. John Otis, of the

present faclious opposition to an honorable ar
