Very Important from the River Amazon
Opening OF Passage from the Atlantic to
the Pacific.
We have received the Grenada Chronicle of the
9th ut, which contains intelligence of the highest
interest to the whole world
Il appears that while efforts are makingin Europe
to cut canal from the Atlantic to the Pacific
| through the Isthmus OF Panama, to construct a
| railroad across the country to Tchuantepea at an
| enormous expense-the Americans have achieved
the great work in the most simple way, and al COM
paratively little or'no cost
| They have discovered the Amazon TO be naviga-
Bile for steamers from its mouth on the Atlantic to
Lima, in Peru, and within eight miles Of Callao one
| OF the principal ports on the Pacific.
[From the Grenada Chronicle, Sept. 81
| EXPEDITION OF CAPTAIN JOHN 5. KLAUsE, OF PHIL
| ADELPHA, UP THE kIvER MARANNoN, AS FAR AS THE
PoRT oP "BANos," IN THE REPUBLIC OF THE EQUA-
! DoR.-Senor klause left Lima on the 10th Septem-
Der, 1874 and directed his to the river Gual-
| laga, by the mountain Of "Pasco" Arrived at the
village OF lingo, he embark ed in canoe with the
object OF exploring the river, to see il il pract-
cable to navigate by steam, four steamers having
tor that purpose arrived from North America Fol-
| lowing the stream, he approached a small Hamlet
called Yurimaguas, which is the port of the City of
| Moyobamba, where he took in provisions From
Yurimaguas he prosecuted his downward course to
"Laguna," the point of confluence Of the Marannon
and Gualega here he entered the Marahnon and
proceeded to the frontiers OF Peru and Brazil arr-
/ wing at settlement called sour Lady OF Loretto.n
| where he saw several Brazilian schooners. From
LorettO he sent on person 10 Jaballnaga town of
| Brazil, with orders to the four Steamers there to
| ascend the river as far as Loretto, and in a few
| days the whole four arrived salutlng the Brazilian
battery, which mounted guns. In Loretto,
| there ls large lake, in which three oil the Steam
ers anchored to await ORDERS and in the other, call
ed the Peruvian, of lao horsepower, Capt Kiause
embarked, taking on board all the machinery neces-
sary to clean out the Gualaga, and to construct
landing places, &c. He then proceeded against the
| stream TO the mouth OF the Guallaga, and port of
| 'Laguna," where he anchored in 10 fathoms Here
ne discharged the machinery INTO canoes, and assist
ed by $50 Indians, he ascended the river, clearing
OF every obstruction as far as "Pachisa," at which
place he was obliged to augment the number OF hands
| to 200, from the increase OF the work and abour
| they had to perform He thence continued his
course against the current TO the village of lingo,
! the utmost point of steam navigation in the river
Gualaga, distant from Lima seven or eight days by
land From lingo he retained back on foot with
twenty five soldiers by the "Pampa del Sacramento"
| TO the "Laguna," where he found the steamer he
had left there at anchor. He again embarked in
| the steamer and proceeded in her up the Guallaga
| (now cleared OF all obstruction,) until he again
reached lingo without the slightest accident From
| lingo Captain Klause forwarded dispatches to
| Lima, notifying the arrival the steamer, and
without loss Of time he reraced his steps in canoe,
with the intention Of sending up to lingo the other
steamers which were awaiting orders In the Lake
of sour Lady OF Loretto, but at the port OF Yurima-
guas he received letter from the firm at Lima, di
|
river Pastaza, as far as II may be navgabe by steam,
and in case the navigation should prove to be prac-
tcable, to propose contract to the Government Of
the Ecuador In effect the exploration was per-
formed, and the river found perfectly navigabe for
| steam vessels, save few distractions which
could be cleared away on the Government con-
senting to contract. From the point of
boundaries OF Peru and the Ecuador, as far the
village of Andoes, Captain Klause did not meet
with any obstacle except sandbank, which, with
ordinary caution, may be easily evaded; the current
is rapid. From Andoas, upwards, there many
distractions which can only be removed by mr ans
OF the machinery brought by the steamers for that
purpose. Near Andoas, Captain KIause discovered
er redsh and along the banks of the Pastaza above
Andoas, he saw number OF little hamlets and set
Elements OF wild Indians, called Zaparos, from whom
he obtained provisions; finally he reached within
two or three leagues of the river Jopa, where he
landed and arrived at the town of Bano, in two
days From Bano he proceeded to Pelileo, where
ne remained four days, and saw several good
mines of silver and platna; from Pelileo, he ar
rived at this city, (Quito,) on the 23d April
| Captain klause says he was truly amazed at the
quantity OF minerals, dyewoods ofvarous Sorts and
mon OF excellen quality; cotton, very fine and long
like wool; Spices balsam, raisins, wax and other
rich productions, which he met with in great abun,
dance everywhere during his travels.
Anti-Rent Trials.
DELHI, Oct 6. Is45.
Deia,care Oyer and Terminer-Hon. Il. j. Parker pred
| siding Judse-John Pan Buren,, attorney General-J
j. a. Hughsfon, ESQ., District .7torney-1ne Ne,o York
Express and its Correspondent Trial Of Edpard o.
| Connor for Murder.
The Court met this morning at O'Clock. Hon. Sam
uel Gordon rose and said he had few words say to
the Court in relation to malicious libel of the
officers of the Court by the correspondent of the New
York Express. Mr. Gordon now read the lbeous arti-
Gle which is contained in letter from Delhi published
in the Express on the I'd inst The writer states that Mr.
pied much time in his address to the jury in defending
the character Of Mr. Gordon, his associate counsel lie
! G. Mr. ;p~I k;e
nation to Congress through the anrenter and charges
him with having advised the tenants that the landlords
Mr. Gordon remarked that every material statement in
the article in question was false and unfounded-he
never had told the tenants that the landlords no title
to the land and Mr. Bovine had attempted to defend
| him in his argument
Judge PARKER said it was perfectly right that
| any member Of the bar should bring to the
tce OF the Court published letters rejecting the
character Of its officers He had no doubt Mr. Gordon
had good cause Of complaint and thought the remarks
OF the correspondent Of the Express highly censurabe
The Court had also been attacked by the Correspondent
Oh the rgus Tor the course they had taken in dschar
gng prisoners who had plead guilty to indictments.
JAMES Parser, young man residing in this village,
now rose and acknowledged himself the author of the
article referred tohe said he Court whils Mr.
Bowne was speaking but had understood from person
present that he had occupied the time charged and
he believed the statement to be true
The fact is MIR. Bovine said but few words about Mr.
Gordon who was nominated candidate to Congress-
oy he democratic party in this county and elec
ted by fair majority.
| The Express for some reason best known to them
selves instead OF sending reporter here employed Mr.
Parker who appears to be inoensive person residing
in Delhi, to make reports for them. Being totally
acquainted with reporting it is not strange that party
prejudice has been allowed to enter into his remarks
but that charge of this kind should have been made
founded on remarks made by Mr. BOVINE which he did
not himself hear, is certainly rather strange.
Pleas to Indicfments.-Wm Josceyn, indicted for mur
DER was now placed at the bar The plea of guilty
was Withdrawn, and plea Of guilty of mansaughter in
the 4th degree enter ed and accepted.
John Davis indicted for being to the murder

Trial OF EDWARD O'CoNNoR for murder-Hon. Samuel
GoTdon and Amasa Parker Esq, counsel for prisoner
