The measels have not prevailed as an epide.

"a VERY LATE FROM NEW GRANApA.-We have
received by the clipper schooner China Samsria,
Capt. Campos, the Gaeeta Mercantil, from Santa
Marta, to the ed November, and the Gacsta de
la Nuera Granada, of Bogota, to the 18th of
October.
In the message from the Governor of the Pro-
vince of Bogota to the Provincial Legislature,
we find some very excellent suggestions to that
body regarding the internal policy to be observed
such az the provision Of useful public works for
the employment of idlers the establishments of
hospitals for the reception of persons attacked
with elephantiasis, and particularly the appropri-
alton of sum of money for the purpose of testing
the efficacy of the curative powers of guano in
this disease, as within the last six years various
isolated cases had been reported as having been
cured by this substance. He also recommends
the appointment of vaccinators, whose duty it
shall be to visit the various sections of the de-
partment, and vaccinate all who have not under
gone that process. These are enlightened views
and show the zeal of the young republics in the
progressive spirit of the day.
President Mosquera was still on the coast
when the China Samaria left His reception at
Santa Marta and Barranquilla was very enthu-
siastic.
n peutlon hau Deeh presented py the Leglsa.
ture OF the Province of Santa Marta to the gene
raj government, praying for an act of general
amnesty of all political offences that had been
committed in times gone by. The perfect tram
guilty of the country, and the improbability Of
any future political troubles, were the reasons
assigned for such an act.
The King of the Mosquito Indians had gone to
Jamaica in an English man Of war; he was salu-
ted on landing with twenty-one guns, and was
received in Spanishtown by the Governor of the
Island with great respect. On the 18th of Nov,
he was present at grand parade in Kingston,
and in the evening attended the theatre, where
the tragedy of "Pizarro'' was performed.
Flores continued in Jamaica; it was supposed
he was there awaiting the news of counter-re-
volution in his favor in the Ecuador.

THE ExToRrIoNs OF THE GAS CoMPANlEs.-We
have received numerous complaints detailing
the extortions of the gas companies, and request
ing US to make some suggestions as to the best
mode of abating them There is no remedy
These companies have received charters from
the Legislature, and they may extort and charge
just as much as they please. The only remedy
that we can point out, is to come from the sue
cess of the plan of manufacturing gas on small
scale, sufficient for each house.
