ADDITIONAL.
From the Panama Herald, Feb. Z.
On Saturday evening the p. s. N. Co.'s steamer
Lima, VIM. Bloomfield, Esq, commander, arrived in
our port from the SOUTH She brings twenty-seven
passengers and sl62 900, principally in solver
Her dates are-Xalparaiso Jan. Is, Callao Oath
Guayaquil 30th.
Among her passengers are Col. J. A. Lloyd, Her
Britannia Majesty's Charge dAffares to Bolivia, ST..
Jose Julian Ponce, Minister from Venezuela to Peru,
and E. Mocatta, Esq, Commissioner from the
British Ecuadorian bondhoders, on his return from
Quito.
From Chill there is no news of importance. The
Valparaiso Echo comes 10 us increased in size and
improved in general appearance.
Her Britanic Majestys frigate President. bearing
the flag Of Rear Admiral Price, had arrived at Val
paraso
Tie markets are reported as slightly improved
but sales are mainly confined to the demand for in
ternal consumption.
Our correspondent informs us, in reply to our re-
quest for information about the Amazon, that seve
raj expeditions of Americans had left Lima for tn
gold deposits. There have been no further account
received from the government colony Of Germans in
the district Of Loretto.
The Peruano official contains letter addresset
to the Peruvian government by E. H. Sullivan, Esq,
H. b. Ms Charge d'Affaires to Peru by order Of his
government, calling the attention Of the Peruvian
cabinet to the high price Of guano, and the evil
arising from the present system Of government nes
and urging that the trade in guano may be thrown
open to competition. ST.. Gregoric Paz Sedan, the
Peruvian Minister of Foreign Affairs, sends long
reply in which he justiies the of Peru, and
declines to accede to the request.
STILL LATER.
The independent steamship America. Captain
Mitchell arrived in our bay on Saturday evening, q
short time after the Pacific Steam Navigation Com
pany's steamer Lima. She left Valparaiso on the
26th thus bringing eleven days later dates. She
left New York December g. and has had quick
and very favorable passage. We have been informed
that she took in her coal from the Lota mines in
Chili that they have proved to be most excellent
for steam purposes. As this coal be sold at the
mines in Chill at Sc per ton, and delivered here at
much lower cost than English or American coal, it is
likely to effect vast saving in the great expense
attendant on steam navigation on the Pacific conse-
quent upon the high price of coal. We notice by
the Valparaiso papers that 1000 tons about being
sent to San Francisco.
INTERESTING FROM NEW GRANADA.
