From the Post Of the sth.

L
Fire Last Night.-About 9 o'clock fire was
set in the Boston Type and Stereotype Foundry
building corner of Spring Lane and Devonshire
street the stairway leading TO the printing room
OF White & Potter. II spread rapidly, and as The
fremen were not ON hand and no ladders were 10
be had, the compositors at worklnthe room above
the fire were in great danger of snffocatlon, and
owe their rescue 10 assistance rendered by their
brother printers of the Post. Mr. Bulger procured
short ladder, and carried up the rope belonging
TO Mr.. Saunders railway the end was reached
with difficulty by the parties in danger, who fas-
tened il to an imposing stone, and, one by one
swung themselves out and descended. Persons
in the finishing room ofthe stereotype department
escaped at the west end of the building, toward
the Old South Church Much damage was done
by fire and water and The debates of the consti-
tutiona convention, which White IL Potter are
printing, will be delayed in consequence. They
have $4,000 insurance.
JuIlien's Last Concerts.-The last two con-
certsof the series very fully attended. That Of
SATURDAY afternoon was about like its predeces-
sors ; but the sacred concert on Sunday evening
was glorious ending of a series Of performances
altogether superior, every style of music, TO any
thing heretofore heard in this city. There was no.
thing Of the clap-trap in the whole programme, and
no doubt remained Of the eminent ability Of Julien
and his orchestra TO give the highest order Emusic
Rumor asserts that Julien is TO return in January
TO give six concerts, at fifty cents per ticket. The
actual expenses of each entertainment are now
stated 10 be $500 Ifso, Julien has done very well
in Boston.
Germania Concert.-No Notwithstanding the
plentifnlness OF musical entertainments for the last
fortnight, the Germanans attracted full house
on Saturday evening The music given was of a
very high order, and the performance was Of about
the average excellence. As before remarked, the
orchestra of Julien has considerably elevated the
Boston standard of instrumental music, and our
home societies will probably be urged ON 10 fur
ther improvement upon their present, already
creditable, performances.
Late from South America.-In recent pa.
per from Lima find an interesting correspond
between the Brazilian minister to that repub-
lie and the Peruvian Secretary Of State, on the
subject of the recent law enacted by Peru, giving
the freedom ofnavigating the Amazontothe nations
with whom she has treaties.
The Brazilian minister charges on Tirado, the
Peruvian secretary, the violation thereby of GER
tain rights guaranteed to his government by trea-
~. The existence of companies, under a pretend
ed support of the laws of Peru are discussing the
organization of mercantile expeditions TO the
coast Of Peru, and other preparations actively
going on. Albuquerque, the Brazilian minister,
protests against the results expected from this
olution OF Peru, in degree detrimental to Brazil.
In answer, Tirado, the Peruvian Secretary OF
State declares that il the right of navigation on
the shore, Peru cannot deny the right Of naviga-
ton TO nations holding treaties with her.
Not finding plausible grounds for refusal, and
not considering this permit prejudicia TO the in
terests of Brazil, the Peruvian government has
licensed these expeditions. The secretary claims
Peru TO be irresponsible for the designs of these
companies. Peru cannot consistently deny these
companies access TO her dominons according TO
the treaty and she is not responsible for any other
construction Of the decree OF April 18th.
He concludes with the wish that all impedi-
ments to the navigation of the AmazQn may be
avoided, by the establishment of Conferences,
which viii cause agreement ofthe plenipoten-
tiaries of the said State.M Y. Eapress.\
