may not be generally known that European
goods of nearly every description can be
bought by the cargo as cheaply in Valpa-
iaiso as in New York. But such is the case,
as We have haG opportunities Of knowing.
Branches OF the heaviest English, French,
German and American Houses are eslab.

piled with large and choice assortment OF
Merchandise. The Bonded Warehouse sys-
TEN prevails, both in Chill and in Peru, so
that cargoes may be re.shipped for Foreign
ports, by paying very slight warehouse, or
transit, duty, which in reality amounts TO
about the actual expense Of storage.
4" For these reasons, Valparaiso, in addi-
ZION 10 its American and European trade,
enjoys very extensive commerce not only
with California, bul with Mexico, The western
coast of South America, The Pacific Islands,
and with China and the Eas, Indies. The
greater portion, perhaps, OF this commerce
is carried on in American vessels, their clip.

the heavier ships Of other nations, in the
calm seas and lrade.wind laliudes. We
have seen ships owned in, and hailing from,
Baltimore, New York, and Boston, which

six, and even eight years. Finding constan,

hills, is still beautiful City. 1t is as well
built as most American cities of lis size-ils
population being about fifty thousand-and
can boast Of as cultivated and refined soci.

A sub-Treasury Question.

Congress, by law, requires the Secretary
Of the Treasury 10 use portion of The sur.
plus revenue Of the government in the pur-
chase of United States Stocks. Ii is charged
that Mr.. Corwin.employed Mr.. Draper, OF
New York, TO purchase these stocks for
government, anI& furnished him funds for
this purpose. This. it is now suid, is all
wrong, and Corwin has made himself liable
10 impeachment for 50 doing. Tho present
Secretary Of the Treasury is going 10 do
nothing Of the kind! He is going into The
sock market himself, with several bags o
gold, and, thus Notifying the holders Of
United States Stocks he is going 10 purchase
several millions al the lowest price he can
find them. Wontthis be delightful finan-
cial movement? tOf course, the holders
wiN mol pay up the price when they know
the Secretary is ready with The gold, and
must buy a, some rate We think we see
him on change, with row of servants and
the money bags!
Bul another alarming discovery has been
made. The "X'' Correspondents Of the
Dalilmore Sun mas announced thai this
agreement with Draper extends TO July,
1853, and that the presen, administration is
bound 10 continue him as the agent 10 buy
stocks ill that time. il also announces that
he still continues 10 act in that capacity.
Here is most glaring piece Of humbug-
gerry. If The contract Of Corwir with Dra-
per was, as is claimed; and is illegal; then
every man with the first idea of law well
knows that it is void contract and cannot
be forced on the part of Draper. IL he has
any money belonging 10 The United States.
he may be sued and the money collected
from him. The Secretary Of The Treasury
Is not compelled, by any void contract, 70
employ him an hour. These propositions
are so plain mat they will not for u moment
be disputed. If then the present Secretary
of The Treasury continues 10 employ Mr.
Draper, as this Locoloco correspondent oil
the Sun affirms, it proves either that he is
deliberately violating the law, or thai all this
cIamor against Mr.. Corwn is mere partisan
slang. Which horn of the dilemma do these
demugogues choose 10 hang upon 10. s.

The Valparaiso COnSulate-PaCifiC
Trade.

The Sandusky Register copies. para
graph from The Forest City, in relation 10
the appointment OF Gov. Wood, 10 the
Consulship Of Valparaiso, and appends the
following interesting remarks. The writer
talks like one who has been there, and

Beware of the Widow.

The widow is dangerous thing,
With soft, black shining curlS
And looketh more bewitching
Than host of roming girls;
Her laugh is so delicious
T., So knowing, clear beside
You'dsnever dream her thinking
Soon to become bride.
Her dress, though made of sable,
Gives roundness to her form
A touch Of something thoughtful,
A witching;-w winning charm;
And when she sits down by you,
With quiet easy grace,
A tear may fall unbidden,
Or smile light up her face.
Her voice is soft, melodious,
And lute-like in its tone
She sometimes sighs "Tis dreadful
To pass through life alone !"
Then she'll tell you you remind her
OF the loved one dead and gone
: Your step, your form, your features
Thus the widow will run on.
Oh listen, yet be careful,
For we'll she plays her part;
Her lips distll the nectar
That doth enslave the heart;
Be guarded or she'll win you
With Sighs and smiles and tear,
And when you're safely welded
She may box your silly ears.
