MEMORANDA.

There is little news from the Isthmus, everything
be,c absorbed in the rejoicngs over the completion
Of The railroad.
Judge BowiD, U. S. Minister TO Bogota, was to
leave Aspnwan on the 25,h ulitno on the British
steamer Fl Csriheeena, whence he would proceed TO
take charge Of tbs Legation at the Capital.
The running time allowed to the cars from Aspin-
vail to Pan ANA has been fixed at Eve hours.
The grand Provincial swindie-the Passenger Tax
.-hss been, at length disowned by the General Gov
eminent and the Attorney General Of che nation has
pronounced the whole ordinance relative thereto as
Illegal and contrary 10 the Constitution
During the present month there has been no less
than two and half millions of British treasure trans
rieh across this isthmus on mule back and By Cha
gre River boats instead of being conveyed by the
railroad, and there is shortly expected to arrive here
three millions more from MazatlaD, which will in all
probability be transported in a similar way. The
reason assigned for hs is that the rate Of freight by
railroad is about one hundred per cent greater than
that by mules, and considerably more than sucien;
