VERY LATE FROM THE PAoIrIo.-By the bark
Bogota, sailed LIST inst. from Carthagena, we have
our usual files of papers from Lima to the 18th,
Valparaiso to the 9th, and Panama to the oath Of
December.
The Peruvian and CHILEAN papers are filed with
European extracts relative to the Flores expedi-
ton, to which most undue importance is attach
ed by the people As our advices from Europe
show the whole affair to be bghted in the bud,
we will merely give the opinion OF President
Bunes, of Chill, and the action of Congress
thereon. We translate from message dated
Nov. 10Th, at Santiago. 1t Says
at is impossible to conceal the fact that general
alarm exists created by late advices from Europe
and although deem them exaggerated, and that the
whole expedition will be found to have originated from
limited band Of Spanish soldiers and officers with the
sole object of kinding the fame of civil in Ecuador
still should be prepared for any contingency that may
arrive"
In accordance with his recommendation, Con-
gress passed a law, the first article of which au-
thorses the government to name minister ple-
nipotentiary, who might 20 to whatever place in
Europe or America that the interests of the Re
public should demand, in political alterations
or movements of invasion should appear, either
in Chill or any neghboring province.
News of the victories of our troops in Mexico
had been received, and III Concrete, the leading
paper of Peru, says
We are all turned into Yankees We desire with all
hearts the triumph of the United States and II posi-
be the annexation Of Mexico in order to consolidate
much possible the grand systems Of republican gov.
eminent Continent. The result of all may be the
final extnguishment of all monarchioal remains from
America"
Letters fiom Venezuela make mention of the
battle Of the 10Th September, in which Col. Guer-
zero routed and nearly cut to pieces 700 of the re-
voted troops. General Jose Tadcs Monagas was
spoken of as the only President of Venezuela
who could quiet the troubles in the country.
In n report recently made it is stated that in
Peru there are now sixteen mines Of silver and
foriy-twe of copper, being worked, most of them,
by American and English companies.
A company has been formed In Valparaiso Tor

BANKING CAPITAL OF THE STATE.


 We have before US a copy of the Report of the Bank Commissioners, under resolution ot the last General Assembly, concerning the a. me unt of banking capital in this State. and its locations. From this il appears that there are thirty two Banks and two Branches in the State, whose united capital amounts to $5,- 6O5,7I2 The amount of thelr loans on the f rst of April was $12.77O,3 O,349.l6, of which $9 ,O2s .ool O9 was loaned in Connecticut ;- 6a1 ,445 27 to Manufacturing Companies; and $3 ,OA9, ,9O2 80 to citizens of other States. Of this latter sum, $2, 1864. .967. 66 was loaned and discounted by the banks in Hartford and New Haven.
 The Commissioners are of the opinion that the present banking capital of the State is quite sufficient for all tho legitimate purposes to which banking capital may be safely appi. ed in the State, but they do not think that any of the existing banking institutions should be required to locate any amount of their capital in branch banks in any section of the State not now adequately accommodated with banking facilities.
 As the result of their investigations, they are of the opinion. that the north western part of Lischfeld county, and the southern part Of Middesex county, require increased banking facilities for the accommodation of their bus- ness; and they recommend that capital oi one hundred and fifty thousand dollars, to be located in the northwestern section of the State, and capital of one hundred thousand dollars to be located in the southern section oI Middlesex county, be carred out of the capital of existing banking institutions C0munt.

 NEW ORLEANS, May 18th.
 The whole valley of the Rio Grande is under maI tial law, and every one capable of bearing arms is called upon to rally under penalty of traitors death. This does not exclude even ,he clergy. A bloody chapter is about to open upon all struggling parties of Americans near our places of occupation. The highest pen- allies being imposed upon military cons manders for not carrying out Canales's orders. The National Guard is every where rallying, and The armed md help. less will be equally exposed to the gucril- la war. This, with the information that Santa Anna is issuing guerilla commis sions, shows desperate state of things Gen. Taylor will not move upon San Luis until reinforced, as so large . number of volunteers arc leaving him at their term of service. Those already returned to New Orleans are in a wretched plight. sick and their apparel worn out. Private letters state that Alvarez is marching from the north of Mexico with over twen- iy-five thousand troops, who will Le scat tered in guerilla parties between Jalapa and Puebla and towards Vera Cruz, and a general disposition exists among the inha abiiants of maRy villages to arm and accompany him as guerillas

RELIGIOUS ANNIVERSARIES IN
 NEW YORK.

The anniversary week" appears to have passed off with its usual interest, and 1t may be hoped, with profit. The aspect which the New York papers present: with their de> tailed reports of the several meetings, min> gled with their other contents, is thus ccm> mented upon by tho Buffalo Commercial Advertiser:
 "The New York papers contain many columns of long reports of the proceedings of diserea' societies, all aiming, in various ways, to carry into practice the divine pros elama,ion that was made eighteen centuries ago, of @Peace on earth, good will to man." Side by side Of details of how much has besa eoas during the past year, in this most holy work, and reports of speeches glowing with fesvid christian eloquence, melting all as mors diligent service of the Prince cf Peace. ase equally long and glowing details of the success of our arms iA Mexico, of the desperate assanli, of.hs number Of the dead, aud those, still more unhappy, left to wsithe in anguish on the field of battle. Never was there better epitome of this worlds life, of ats lights and shades of all which raises man to station but little lower than the angels, or inr;.cS him to deeds that. in the language .os You $, might wake "she loudest laugh of hsll,' sAan is now presented in New York newsrr rcr.

SIXTY PERSONS POISONED AT WE'D. DINu.-A letter in the New Orleans Delta. received by MT. Stlle, Clerk of the House of Representatives Of Louisiana, from his brother, in the parish of Sabine. Texas, dated May 2d. gives the following acc ount of one of the most nrxampled acts of poisoning committed in Shelby County, in that State, that has cvev been heard of ::
 "There was weddiEg at old MT. Will kinson's of an r?han he raised, ai which all the invited guests were poisoned, in> cluiing the bridesmaid and groomsman On: of sixty persons poisoned, thirty, Dr.. Sha,p says, will certainly Gie.

The worst kind of wal now seems to be coming in Mexico. It seems that a, little town called Guadalupe, near Marin an American having been murdered. his friends to avengs hIs death visited the place, and deliberately murdered twenty four Mexicans. Gen. Taylor, as yel, has been utterly unable tc find out ihs psF- peiFatO,s. and probably never will 6e.- But, iR retaliation, CNHales has declared martini law on the Rio GEanda, and or. dered &ll Mexicans, under penalty 0t death, to take up ar@s against the Ame.

 The New York Gazette publishes the above with the following remarks:
 {" How it has been made public it is net sta. ted. Probably through the instrumentaliiy of some naval officer.

RonnrNc TEE SAVINGS BANK BY LAw.-- We Ssle shown this morning bill, paid by She Savings Bank of this city, to the lcco loco Bank Commissioners, for about half a days useless services in that institution amounting to ahe sum of $48 78! This is cminable-.inasmneh as the funds of the Savings Bank is the property of the indus ,rious poor, of widows, children, and others, who are entitled to exemption from such needless expense. The Savings Banks are managed by Trustees, who derive no benefi. whatever from their connection with these Institutions, but on the contrary, they give gratuitossly their time and services to the superinsendancs of their concerns. Every week committee Of she trustees meet and examine all the bank affairs, and in fact do the whole business of Bank Commissioners, which renders sahe visits of these latter ofi> csrs entirely nselssa. sIs was nos until re> gently. thas fhs Sasinga Banks were sahjee. ed to such calls; bus a loco focoAegis.a,are probably for the purpose of increasing the -enoluments of their "hungry" par,izans shs Bank Commissioner, required that these anssitasians should bs visited, and subjected @ the sane expense sAas Is imposed aPoE aAe ethss hanksof she State.

GEN. TAYLOR AND HIS MovEMENTs.-A letter from the BrazoS in the New Orleans Bulletin Of the 18th: says:
 "Brigadier Gen. Cadwallader has arri' we'd and assumed the command of the low CT Rio Grande, RBd has established q camp al Palo Ate, for the instruction of the new regiments as they arrive. About 1900 have already arrived, and will be greatly augmented in few weeks. They appear to be a good class of men.
 "Whh regard to the ultimate destina- ton of the new regiments we only know that they arc sent here in the first place with view of reinforcing Gen. Taylor. but some fears are entertained that at least a portion of them will be ordered to ioin Gen. Scott. Gen. Taylor ought to advance on San Luis, and through those populous northern counties to Mcx'co. As he is now prepared with the needful ,.ansportatiOn, it can be done with much less expense and with more facility than from any other point. He should have however, 10000 men for the object"
 The Editor himself says:
 '" We learn that the troops which have been and still are constantly arriving here, and which were 10 have reinforced Gen. Taylor, have their destination ehan> ged, and will be sent forward with all possible haste 10 Gen Scott"
 This may be right. Gen. Scott is pal sled for want of men and means, and be- ing in the heart of Mexico, perhaps, most needs the men, but we cannot he;p re- marking that Gen. Fay lop has had better luck with the administration. aRd they must beware lest they again expose all hi' command and al! the places he has ir garrison to jeopardy, and once more com pei another bloody contest like that ol Buens Vista.
 The idea WILL come into one's head that Gen. Taylor is no friend of MT. Polk Nor was Gen. Scott till MT. Polk thought that in him he was finding rival for Gen Taylor. The intended plan, the reader will remember, was to superseds both by MT. Benton, but upon that scheme the Sera.e put it's foot. :.
 But why does not the Government cnl ] out men enough to support Gen. Tay Tor. as well as Scott, and thus enable both to reach Mexico!-[N. Y. Express.]

ELECTION OF CHIEF JUSTICE.

The Hon SAMUEL CHURCH has been elected Judge of the Superior Court, in the place of Judge WILLIAMS, resigned.- This is judicious appointment, irrespcc tive of party feelings, Judge Church, we believe, not being distinctly recognized in political life, as member of the dos minant party. It is tribute to his tal- en,s and integrity, which we believe is justly bestowed.
 We further learn that the Bank Cons mii,ce have reported in favor of the in corporation of the Canaan Bank. which has a direct connection with the iron trade, n branch of manufacture in which the western district of our State is deeply concerned. We hope ,hnt those interest cd will he happily sustained. as we be- lieve that it is one Of the greatest sources of our local and national prosperity.
