The Philadelphia brought us files of Kingston
(Jamaica) papers to the .2Sth ult., Panama pa
pers to 25th ult, and dates from Aspinwall to
the LIST inst.
From the Aspinwall Courier, of the 1st inst,
we learn that the health of the lsthmus had
been generally good, and that of the city of
Aspinwall much better than usual at this sea-
son of the year.
Business had been very dull, owing to the
small number of passengers in transit.
Gold mining is creating an excitement on the
Isthmus.
An English company has bought a gold mine
on the river Barbara, tributary of the river
Atrato, and is now preparing to work it.
Two French agents are selecting mines on the
head waters of the Atrato they were at Quibdo
on the 18th of July.

the best mines in the conton of the Atrato,
| Two native agents are employed by English
companies TIC buy land and mines in the pro-
vinces of Choco and Antioquia.

mine in the vicinity of Buenayentura, on the
| Pacific coast.
An English company has bought gold mine
in Antioquia, for one hundred and fifty thousand
dollars, and is now working it.
| An American company has passed through
Carthagena for Choeo lately whose object is to
search for gold mines in Choco and Antioquia.
| 1t is said coal mine has been discovered on
the Rio Leon, at the mouth of the Atrato, in the
Gulf of Darien. Some scientific men started
from Carthagena about the Goth July last, to
test the truth of the matter--the gentlemen are
| Americans
A surveying party has also passed through
Carthagena, for the head waters of the Atrata,
to survey Blag's route from the river Quito to
the San Pablo.
From the same paper we learn that the pack
cts of the Pacific Steam Navigation Company
have been appointed to leave Panama on the 9TH
and 22d of each month, for Valparaiso and the
intermediate ports.
The latest advices from the South Pacific. to
lst from Valparaiso, and to the 10th from Cal
lao, showH that there was every prospect of a
war between Bolivia and Peru.
Intelligence from San Juan del Sur to late
date, informs us that the place was very sickly,
and that the black yomit had broken out and
proved fatal in several cases.
