INTERESTING FROM THE SOUTH PACIFIC.

The Panama Herald Of May LIST says:-The steamer
New Granada arrived in hsrbor Sunday morning,
2sth of April from Valparaiso, which port she left on
the 9th of same month.
The New Granada brought papers from Valparaiso to
the 9th and from Calao to the 18th of April but unfor
tunatey mistake has occurred in the delivery OF
our files. She brings few passengers who report that
they passed Point Mala they four men In
tree. The valdivia, which sailed the same evening
the South had instructions to proceed to the place,
FIRE signals and boat shore to endeavor to find
the parties 1t liz almost hoping against hope to expect
that these four could be of the party Of FIVE who
upset Taboga Thursday last. 1t seems i'm
possible that they could have drtsd loo miles
and in 3 direction contrary TO The current.
The steamer Bolivia, Capt. Henry Wyb, arrived ut
Panama the morning of Acr 81 with 80 passengers,
Ss3,sC6 in specie, and the malls om Valparaiso to %,
from Tacna to the 4th and from Lima to the 7th OF
