to sales of this description. like cows to

fcoNcLUDEp.)
After our yachting expedition had ceased to
be the topic, par excellence, of versation,
an epidemic catarrh broke out among the
crew, aud for four days one might hear every
species of barking, from that of the puny flee
to the deep bass Of the stalwart inastiff. The
Influenza now formed the subject of each
hurried inquiry, or animated discussion the
disease was canvassed in all its bearings,
symptoms, and results, by the crew, and each
one had some startling experience to give in,
or some grandmother's recipe, or quack med
icine, to mention, which, they asserted, was
surely a specific. All their opinions availed
naught, however, for it spared neither age
nor condition. On the fifth day it abated,
our sick list rapidly diminished, and all tho't
of it was absorbed in the news that the "Gov-
ernor Davis" fine barque Of some seven
hundred tons, had run ashore on the "Whale's
Back" shoal extending out into the har-
Dor, shaped like that portion of the monster
animal.
She had cargo of Guano on board from
the Chinches Islands, and though every ex-
ertion was made to save her, she parted
amidships, and was sold to the Peruvians as
she lay, for mere song. This Guano is a
most fruitful source of revenue to that gov
ernment; thirty dollars per ton is demanded
and received, for every corgo that is shipped
| from their islands so that one can easily
imagine the small profits arising from the
sale of it at forty or even forty-6ve, deduct
ing all expenses of importation, and its con-
tingencies. Tobacco was exceedingly high
at that time, in consequence of a great de-
mand for that article in the California mar
kets; one dollar and fifty cents per pound
was readily paid. And truly it was the Ell
dorado of washerwomen for we had to send
our clothes on shore, and then send for them
when finished, and pay two dollars and TWEEN
ty-fve cents per dozen
On our fourth visit to the port Of Callao,
I took memorable walk with some of the
officers of the beautiful Sloop-of-war, "St.
Mary's;" starting one Sunday afternoon, four
in number, we found that internal improve
ments were the order of the day. A commo-
dious depot for the Lima train, and larger
mole were in progress of erection. ltseems
to me strange that some Yankee brickmaker
has not long since discovered the seeds Of
fortune here The bricks here consist Of
masses of red clay, mixed up with sand and
chaff, and sundried Glorious for earth
quakes; for surely they would scarcely crack
skull. However, | suppose the people are
fearful of allowing anything so hard as a
Yankee brick to be around them; though l
have frequently seen some with "bricks In

It is wonderful thing to contemplate how
good principles are sometimes seen tcprevail
even among men who are not good. A vast
change has taken place in London with ref
erence to the observance Of the Sabbath,
within the last thirty years; . change. the
production Of which is rot to be traced to any
human agency. As the period Of the battle
Of Wste,loo the parks were thronged from
one o'clock to Eve each Sunday with people
Of rank and fashion. Now no one is seen
there Of higher class than man Of the turf,
or woman Of doubtful character. At the
same period, Sunday was the great day for
dinner parties at the west end. Now that
practice is also abandoned. or left only to the
least respectable Of the wealthy classes.
And the same change is still going on A
day or two since, We saw the following ad-
vertisement in an Edinburgh newspaper:
"Rosliu Chapel and Csstlc.-By order Of
the proprietor, the Chapel and Castle Of Ros-
lin are NOT in future to be exhibited to any
one on SUNDAYS. They will be shown as
formerly on every ldwtul day."
But this was in Scotland. and it may be
said that the change is easily accounted for.
Well, the next news Of the same sort comes
from France. A steeple- chase is announced
to be run at Dieppe. and in France all events
Of this kind are usually allotted to the Sun
day, when the most people can be present
But DOW. strange to say. it has been resolved
to alter the day to Thursday. especially with
reference to those whose religious feelings
would be violated by Sunday given to "a.
cling. This is quite new feature 10 French
festivities.
But this is not all. From the very ends
of the earth come the same tidings. The la
test accounts we have seen Of the movements
Of the insurgents in China dwell on the vrst
benefit which the three hundred millions Of
Chinese will derive from the establishment Of
the Sabbath among them. These amcliora-
tions, flowing from Christianity, but not trace
able to real conversion Of heart. are very
wonderful. They scarcely fall in with any
known theory; and the just and accurate APP
probation of them must be left to that day
when Christ's followers shall sec face to face,
and know even as they are known Record
