PERU.-Nothing reaches US respecting
the progress of the Revolution. The Ii
ma Heraldo has ceased to be pablished, ow
ing to the fact that no liberty was accorded
to the press by President Castillo, and the
Commercio merely issues such articles a:
suit the existing Government. We learn,
however, from private sources, that the
country is in very insecure and unsettled
state; and the President has already ad-
vised several foreign merchants that in case
of another outbreak he cannot guarantee
them any protection.
Ecuador appears peaceful.
CHILI.-Great enthusiasm prevailed re-
garding the contemplated celebration of the
Independence of Chill, on the 18th OF
September, for which unusual preparations
were being made. Among the events to
take place on that day were the lighting of
Valparaiso with gas for the first time, the
Inauguration in Santiago of several benef-
cent societies, the creation of Savings
Bank, the annual exhibition of national
industry, and various other projects. Pres
ident Montt was also to be inauguarated on
the 18th of September. 1t was expected
that the President would install an entire
ly new Cabinet. Congress continues in
session, and have approved the following
projects: The standing number of military
forces, the contract for establishing rail-
road from Conception to Talcahuana; an
additional grant of $4,000 for public in
struction, and the Treaty of Friendship,
Commerce and Navigation with the United
States of North America.

The MilliOnaires of New
York.

The New York correspondent of the
Charleston Courier makes the following
mention of the millionaires of that city:
William B. Astor is our richest man; he
inherited his wealth. Stephen Whitney,
five millions: owe; his fortune to specula-
tions in cotton and the rise in real estate.
W. H. Aspinwall, four millions; came of a
rich family, and gained vast increase of
wealth in the shil ping business. James
Lennox, three millions, which he inherited.
The late Peter Harmony, two millions

The Paris Conference was to re-assemble
on the 18th of November.
NAPLEs.-A German paper states tha,
the King of Naples has urged the Cabinets
of St, Petersburg, Vienna and Berlin to
conclude in favor of the integrity of the
Kingdom of the Two Sicilies, a treaty email
agous to that guaranteeing the integrity of
the Ottoman Empire.
The latest adyices that the preparations
for the defences of Naples arc redoubled.
No modification of the Ministry had taken
place.
All are anxiously looking for the allied
fleets. The French squadron is anchored
in the roads at London. ready to start
-Four Sandman ships are also ready at
Genoa
An English steamer arrived at Ajaccio
on the 18th, with orders to Admiral Dun
das to sail on the 18th. Accordingly two
steam frigates put to sea the next morning,
and the remainder of the squadron sailed
in the evening.

From Mexico.

By an arrival at New Orleans, we have
dates from Vera Cruz TO Oct. 9, and City
# Mexico to the 5th.
"A startling rumor," says the Iraitd
Union, of Sept. 80, "the authenticity Of
which we by no means guaranty, was cir
culated in the city yesterday; it was said
that Government had received telegraph
ic dispatch, announcing that an English
squadron was in sight of Vera Cruz, and
that the families in that city had begun to
remove.
No private dispatch has been received
to confirm this news; if Government had
received such intelligence, we are persuaded
that it would have been kept secret"
Political matters look gloomy; the
President is at loggerheads with the Liber-
81 Party, now in minority in Congress,
where it commanded large majority.
Vidaurri has taken up arms against
the Government, bnt other States do not
appear to be inclined to join him.

The question of Barron Forbes is still
pending, the English Ministry having
broken off his relations with this Republic

Had that functionary paid a little atten-

no fuss made about il, for everybody knows
the history of the house in question. SO
that nothing need be said about it.

A FAST YOUNG MAN.-Huntlngto Is
outdone by fast young man in New York
whose career is thus graphically described
by the New York Times:
This Thomas P. Wight was for some time
book-keeper in the highly respectable house
of John Higgins q Co, of this city, the Sc.
nior member of which is now our Consul tc
Belfast, Ireland. So we'll and ably did he
perform his duties in this capacity, that he
won the esteem of his employers, and theil
confidence to such an extent that, during the
absence of the firm, in 1s54-5, in Europe, he
held their power of attorney.
Of this power he availed himself By
pledging the firm. whose interests were en-
trused to his care, be obtained credit upon
the firms bankers at Glasgow for $50, 900,
with which sum he went to Europe, (rep-
rasenting himself as the exclusive owner Of
this sum, to make arrangements for con-
tinuing the firm with this supposed addition
al capital and to be partner. He took
with him letters of introduction from some
Wall street bankers, and these he used to
forward his designs. He also represented
himself to be millionaire, and played all
his parts so piausibly that he finally sue
ceeded in buying the firm out with their
own assets!
The property thus turned over TO him
amounted to about 5000, 900, and he actu-
ally prevailed upon one of the largest cred
itors of the estate "a cannie Scott to gar
nish the firm of Higgins & Co., and the 9TH
er creditors in the faithful liquidation of the
liabilities of the estate, so that the late firm
are now held harmless. The $4,000 cred
it which he had obtained in the manner
above mentioned, he deposited in the West
ern Bank of Glasgow. Soon after he re-
turned to this city, and continued the i'm
porting business from the first of January
last, in Vesey street, under the name of
Wight Brothers. Here he seemed to pros
per greatly. He occupied a brown-stone
front in Twenty third street, kept span of
horses, and, in fact, went it decidedly strong.
His careerwas very brilliant, but very brief!
In ninety days after its establishment, the
firm of Wight Brothers collapsed And
so ends part first of this singular story of
ninety days in the importing business. The
second part is now performing before Judge
Oakley, at Superior Court Chambers.
The examination shows $75,637 ac-
knowledged liabilities, and trunk, carpet
bag, valise and contents, as the only effect
yet reached to discharge them with.
