Of the English mail steamship Panama, to advise
you that the advices by the LAST mail from the
United States in reference to the Lobos Islands, has
caused quite excitement on this coast and thrown
Peru particularly almost into state Of phrenzy.
By order of that government, large military force,
with two armed ships (their entire navy,) was some
time ago stationed at those islands-and they now
proclaim death to any and all Yankees, who may
dare to veture there for the purpose of helping them
selves to guano.
The Raritan is now in this port, and is expected
to sail in few days for the United States, but
Commodore III Cauley has determined to leave to-
morrow for Callao, to see how things look there,
and will be on hand to render all necessary prot.c-
ton to American ships, authorized by his govern
ment
The political affairs Of Chill are by no means in a
tranquil state. President Mont and his government
are daily becoming more unpopular, and from the
spirit OF opposition and revolution manifested in
feyeral OF the PROVINCES there s no knowing no

being made by the government, there wa, an out

by portion Of the military who attempted to tsks
possession of Quito, containing all the public
treasure. It is said that the enterprise failed solely
for the want Of proper concert among the insur-

Gen. Flores is now rusticating near Santiago,

by order OF the government. This is a great coun-
try, and these great people SANTIAGO.

MR.. CLAY AND KOSSUTH.

During Kossuth's stay in Washington he visited
Mr.. Clay, and the interview between them is saidp
have been most interesting. A correspondent of The
Philadelphia North American gives the annexed &C.
count of what transpired on the occasion:
6 Mr.. Clay received him standing; and then, b..
ing seated, account of his feeble condition. aL
dressed the celebrated Magyar in speech ofhaIfa
hour in length, frankly expressing his opinions. He
deprecated the policy of intervention as the greatest
calamity which could befa this country and said that
as the possessors of the only existing republic, the
example of mans capacity for selfgovernmen,
was the duty of the American people to encourage
human progress and prosperity this continent
which might be destroyed by foreign Wars, involving
in their fall all hopes of free institutions. These
were, he said, the sentiments of dying man who
had struggled for liberty.
kossuth replied. He did not combat Mr.. Chys
positions, but confined himself to the prospects
Hungary and the situation of France, believing that
events in the latter country would terminate in civil
war, and, perhaps, in general revolution.
AT parting, Mr.. Clay rose and babe Kossuth fare
well for ever, wishing him God speed for Hung
rian independence the reward OF the noble efforts
of her people. Kossuth responded with emoio
saying that he would pray God daily for Mr.. Clay!

deeply moved, and the scene was touching AMI
solemn.
Mr.. Clay very tavorably impressed with los
suth, as regarded mind and manner. Only four spec
tators were present.
Mr.. Clay will yet speak, write, his opinion On
this important subject. The effort of receiving hos
suth has exhausted him somewhat. In other respects
he has gained lately.'
The National Intelligencer has the following On
the subject, confrmatory of the main features Of the
foregoing
I" The interview on both sides very cordial and
friendly, and was continued about an hour, in the
course of which we learn that Mr.. Clay frankly dis
closed his sentiments and at considerable length, as
to the policy of this country in reference to the g1
ton OF Intervention in European affairs. Mr. Gay,
as it has been understood, is opposed to any change
in this policy. deemng it only best for ourselves,
but likewise for the down-trodden populations o.
Europe, that we should pursue, hitherto the even
tenor of our way.
M. Kossuth paid the most respectful attention "
Mr.. Clay, and on his side impaired much interes'ln?
intelligence as TO the social and political condition

RALEIGH AND CASTOR ROAD.

We learn that the meeting of the Stockholders of
the Raleigh and CASTOR Road, at Henderson, the
18th instant, was organized by calling John D. Haw
kins Esq, to the Chair, and appointing Mr.. Hyman,
of Warrenton, Secretary. The Hon. w. N. Ed
wards appeared as the representative of the State
stock, and the part of the Stockholders there
quite full representation.
We learn that representatives from the Seaboard
and Roanoke Rail Road were present. who made a
subscription on the part of that Dad Of half the
stock, under the act of I949-'49, required
struct the junction Road from CASTOR to Weldon.
This Road will be put at under contract, and
will be completed, it is expected, by the time the
CASTOR Road shall have been re-aid. The distance
between CASTOR and Weldon is about twelve miles.
The Stockholders reelected the old Board of Dr.
recors; and the Directors re-appuinted the Of
hcers. The salary of the President of the Road was
fixed at 2,000 TO begin after the Road is completed.
The GAINESVILLE branch, to join the CASTOR Road
near Ridgeway, will, it is said, certainly be built.
We learn that the junction will be made some six
miles this side of Ridgeway, that the GAINESVILLE
passengers and produce will go thirty OF forty
miles on the CASTOR Road. The Legislature of Vir-
ginia has already subscribed 100000 the Clarks-
vile Road, and the Seaboard and Roanoke Rail Road
authorities WILL it is expected also subscribe
siderable amount. This branch will add considera-
bly, to the business of the Road.
we learn that upwards of seven miles of the Gas
Road have been re-laiG and that the whole cost,
per mile, has been $4,000.
The next annual meeting of the Stockholders will
be held in this City, the second Thursday of No
vember.
