We remained on shore some hours, eHnnyss n
la mont. but the steamer was watering, ana II was
impossible 70 remain on board. About DARK, now
ever. we got under weigh again. and the follow
ing afternoon were at Lambiaki, miserable
Mace remarkable for nothing but its being p
great sugar depot and for having tremendous
surf 1t is impossible to 60 ashore IN Doats' ana

could wish. -.
we were heartily glad to leave Lambiaki, and
at DAYLIGHT the next morning found ourselves at
Huanchuw, port almost as dlthcult 70 lana at as
Lambiaki. We however, were favored by a
smooth sea, and the captain and some OF the pas
sengers went ashore. We there procured some
excellent horses, and set out for Trujiilo an old
Spanish town, some two leagues from the sea
On the road we passed the ruins OF an ancient In
dian city, which is said to extend nine leagues or
eiehtv.one miles in one direction, and ls supposed
TO have contained at the time OF the discovery Of
| the country bv the Spanards over two millions oil
inhabitants. The walls Of the houses (of adobe
are still in q good state ofpreservasoD, and It -
easy TO trace out with the eye the palaces, Whlch
were very numerous, the temples the places OF
sAcrifce the streets. in word, the whole plan oil
the city as il existed hundreds OF years ago. An
American is now at work taking sketches, ana
city published in New-York SO, recommend
it to your attention.
EIT or HIGH CIVILIZATION
On arriving at Trujillo, We were agreeabiy dis
appointed to find clean, pretty town with toun.
tains, plazas and alamedas IN fine order, ana
some Of the houses such would not disgrace
New-York One house in particuer is perfect
palace, and although not yet finished has cost a.
! ready over two hundred Thousand dollars Every
thing is In perfect taste and of the latest Partisan
! mode One of Erard grand pianos, splendid
! library framed IN oak d la Louis Quatorze-the
furniture rosewood with bue and white satin.
! The courtyards, OF which there are three, paved
! with black and white marble, and in the middle,
fountains casting their waters to the sun, and ial'
ing back in marble basins surrounded by rare ana
| curious plants. In fact, IL is house that would
! be admired on the Fifth avenue, and 1t seems a
great waste Of money TO construct such place
! in little town where there are only means OF
/ communication once q month, and very uncertain
/ at that.
After breakiasting at the fonda, we mounted
again. took paseO round the town, and then
started back for the steamer. The day following
we were ct Casmu, 2 mere landing place, and
/ the next at CallaO. AS you are not permitted to
/ remain on board the steamer, course 90 which
was somewhat inclined, started shortly after
our arrival for this place.
BAD ROAD TO LIMA
The distance from Csllao to Lima is six miles
and over most wretched road Omnibuses sent
out from the States run almost hourly and was
iolted t. my hearts content. They are however

II is q Glenn, quiet place, Astounding IN Charches
and Converts and there are some very handsome
stores In factit is astonishing how many hand
some stores there are In these semi.ciylzed places
Ia Mazatlan there are dozen, equal In every re-
spect but the plate glass fronts, 70 anything IN
Broadway, and the goods as general thing rcher'
THE THEATRE-HARD TINES.

They are very fair, as much so as our ladies' and
they are mostly well formed, but pretty faces are
rarity. Ofsome one hundred Of the elite OF the
fair sex who then were present, saw but one
pretty face, but that was beautiful
In aday or two there is to be grand tuHc'on ds
