AZORES IsLANDs-Sunken Rock.-Her Majes-
ty's Consul at the Azores has reported that dam
gerous Reef of Rocks, on which the sea breaks
heavily, has been recently discovered about mid
way between the islands of St Michael and Ter
ceira, by three merchant vessels viz the William
of Bangor, and the Plymouth of Boston, in the
United States, and the Tres Amigos of ST. Georges
in Portugal.
The places assigned to the rock by these three
accounts vary in latitude between 80 deg. l6 min
and 80 deg Is min. n, and in latitude between
26 deg. Al min. and 26 deg so min. w. of Green

the existence of very formidable danger to navi-
ward bound vessels, and the less SO, as it is wel
known that more than one submarine volcano has
thrown up rocky islands from the bottom of the

Mariners, therefore, cannot keep too vigilant

Corpus Christi papers up to the 3lst March.
PRESIDE RIO GRANDE.-A gentleman writing
to his friend in Corpus Christi, makes the following
remarks concerning the country between that place
and the Preside:
From all that I have seen, and from my knowl-
edge of the country, together with the information
/ have gathered from Mexicans who have ranches
in that section of the country am fully satisfied
that good road, for either wagons or mules, can
be had, with plenty of water, direct from Corpus
Christi to Preside Rio Grande at distance Of less
than two hundred miles,
The Kinney Rangers, with Col. Snively at their
head, left Corpus Christi for Ell Paso nearly two
weeks since, and when last heard from, were pro-
ceeding without difficulty.
In opinion says the Star, the delays that other
companies have met with, have been caused by
the want of practical and experienced guides and
woodsmen-men, whose knowledge of the country
would enable them not only to find out a passable
road TO the Preside, and thence to Ell Paso, on
American soil, but would provide at easy marches,
both wafer and food in abundance.

was easily dispersed temporarily, by being fired
upon. and seven men and one woman were killed.
The insurgents commenced burning plantations and
destroying cane, in the country districts of the
island. The papers give long list of their rava-
ges. The troops received from Barbados quelled
the rising and the prisons are full of parties con-
fined for their share in this violent proceeding.

The charge upon which the prisoners are arraigned
is that of appearing armed, and violently and
fOrcibly resisting the'civil power, and compelling

The controversy in Demerara between the Gov
eminent and the Provincial Legislature is not sus.
pended. The new Governor, Barclay, arrived in
the Conway steamer in February. His opening
address to the Court announced the determination
of thu Ministry at home to adhere to their former
position in respect to the vexed question of the
civil appropriations. A majority of the Court ad-
hered to their determination, and refused to con-
sent to the taxes required. The Governor an
nounced the decision of the Ministry to govern the
colony by "orders in council ITO which the
Court has replied, by protesting against this course
as illegal and unconstitutional. There is accord

The INDEPENDENT TREAsURY.-The March
number of Hunts Merchants Magazine, has an
article from the pen of Alexander Hamilton, Jr.,
son of Alexander Hamilton, the first Secretary of
the Treasury, reviewing the measures of the late
Administration, in which he thus speaks of the In
dependent Treasury: -
TO what end, and for what purpose, should we
get rid of the Sub Treasury 1t has, thus far, with
all its faults and trials, done its duty faithfully
The country has passed through an nexpected war,
involving an immense expenditure of treasure,
without wavering; and with similar soundness in
the movements of our monetary affairs, we have
with perfect regularity and calmness preserved our
selves through period of great speculative excite.
ment. In my judgment, had we been deprived of
the controlling interference of this power, wild
scene OF rulnous extravaganza would have been
exhibited, which like the mania of 1886, would
have terminated in general and disgraceful bank
ruptcy. The system has acted conservatvely
through the natural force of its inherent power to
check expansion. The importation of twenty mil
lion of dollars, the price of our breadstufs, would
have inflated the currency to such an extent, had
the Banks been at liberty, that by this time, we
should either have failed to perform our contracts,
or have returned to Europe, double the amount OF
specie we extracted. The Sub-Treasury kept
down the value of foreign merchandise to specie
and in the ratio of its influence, in regulating our
home market, were our merchants enabled, those
at least who were moderate in their expectations,
to make fair and profitable voyages

Mr.. MEREDITH.-The Washington correspon-
dent of the Courier & Enquirer says of the presect
Secretary of the Treasury
After forty-nine years of life, Mr.. Meredith stands
before the world without blemsh upon his name
having secured the affection and esteem of those
who know him best; and carved out by his own
mind and labor place among the foremost lnn
intellects of the nation This were glory Ell
for one man, but there were yet higher h6ndl1llh
reserve for him. He has now to show himself
statesman, and he occupies sufficiently command
ing position to invoke the impartial Judgment of
the country When the first report shall have
been submitted to Congress, some estimate MAY be
formed of his fitness for the arduous and compli-
Gated duties of the station which he now fills. Mr..
Meredith has impressed all his associates in the
Cabinet with the superior qualities of his intellect
and judgment, while to the thousands who within
a few weeks have come within the scope of his per-
sona intercourse, he has impaired the assurance of
honesty of purpose, enlarged patriotism and a de-
termination to administer the high trusts of his
Office for the best interests of the Government.
While he remains at the head of the Treasury,
there will be no doubtful monetary connections,
and the country will repose in the confidence that
its finances are entrusted to a man who is as much
above temptation as his character is beyond sus-
piciOn.
