ARRIVAL OF THE ILLINOIS.

Latest Intelligence from Waller California
NeUs.
New YORK, March 28.-Ths steamer Hi.
nois, from Aspinwall, arrived at O'Clock this
morning, with California dates to the 9TH inst,
and 81 100000 in specie. She connected at
the Isthmus with the Golden Gate. The lat
ter passed, March 10Th, off Cape Cornelias,
steamer Sonora bound up.
The steamer Panama from San Juan. had
arrived at Panama with one hundred and
twenty-five deserters from Gen. Walkers
forces. in most destitute condition. Their
passage to the United States was paid by the
Costa Rican Government. One hundred left
on the steamer Granada for New Orleans, and
the remainder are among the passengers by
the Illinois.
Nothing later from Gen. Walkers position
The Costa Rican papers state that 5000
troops had been added to the allied forces. -
Gen. Caros would march with 800 men upon
Rivas, and 1000 would march upon San Juan
del Sur. The intention is to surround Walk
er's position with 5000 men. The condition
of Walker is universally considered very des-
perate.
The Illinois left Aspinwail on the evening
Of the 10Th. The principal consigrees of her
gold are as follows: Drexcl &c Co., 100000;
Wells, Fargo & Co., S200,OO0; and Duncan,
Sherman &c Co., $4,000.
New GRANApA.-Latest dates from Boroda
state that the propositions of Mr. Morse, our
Special Envoy, were under secret constlera-
ton, and there seemed but little chance Cor an
amicable arrangement.
The tone OF the press, and the majority in
Congress, evinced the bitterest opposition to
the publication Of what purported to he Mr.
Morse's instruction. They had created grea;
excitement on the Isthmus. The natives
were anxious that the government should re
fuse the propositions, although they expect
that the result will be the military occupation
OF the lsthmus by the United States Some
ldeserters from Walker report his troops as
unanimously opposed to leaving Rivas to fight
but they are willing to defend their position.
California papers contain no news of import
ance.
Markets generally dull. Flour selling al
SIG with some speculative movements. Gov
eminent State Stocks dull; selling nominally
at so. Receipts from the mines arc meagre
lowing to the heavy floods throughout the
State.

The Supreme Court Of California has de-
cided that the Legislature has no authority to
appropriate money to pay the interest on the

The Coliseum nj Rome.

The Coliseum is one of the grnndest ri.
ins in the world. II is one of those rare
buildings whose reality surpasses any en-
CRAVING. Everybody knows the form Of
II, but few can rightly estimate its magnif-
cent proportions without seeing il, The
seats rose in terraces four stories high;
each story was about forty feet high. In
fact, the hoight of the outer wall was one
hundred and fifly.seven feet. The arena
was two hundred and eighty-seven feet long
by one hundred and eighty feet wide.---
Including the wall the building measured
six hundred and twenty feet by five hum
dred and thirteen, being as usual, eliptlcal.
The material was the travertine stone, in
large blocks, with which brick masonry is
inlermingled. The blocks or stone were
not cemened together, but we're kept in
thelr'places by iron pins between each two
blocks. The walls have been defaced by
holes made to get out those iron pins or
bolts. The work Of destruction on this, as
on all other ruins, is arrested, and the pre-
sent Pope is doing all he can to preserve
them. -

The Bachelor Homes Of Kansas.

The Bachelor Homes of Kansas
Early in the spring, several thousanC
excellent young men, of enterprise anC
t, lent, came to Kansas from noble motives
This was jokingly called the Carpet Bag
emigration. Not having the encumbrancc
of families, they moved readily TO any parl
Of The Territory, which suited their fancy
and took claims and settled down. If
troubles came, they were on hand to sup
press them, so that Kansas might no long
er depend on Missouri for posse TO keep
the peace.
We have many pleasant acquaintances
among these young men, and have fre-
quently met them IN their Kansas homes.
One we met III the road about 70 miles
from Lawrence. He insisted on our vis-
iling his cabin and taking dinner We
gladly accompanied him. He had a beau
uful claim-part timber and part prairie,
with creek running through 1t, and a
small pole cabin, without fire place, stove
or floor. The bed was Il pile of hay in
one corner on the ground, and an Indian
blanket, which answered for cloak by
day, and bed cover by night.
On introducing US into his cabin, he in
vied Us to sit down Oh his trunk, and ex-
cuse him while he "ran over to Jim's,
and borrow little flour for dinner-I ain
out" said be. He obtained the flour and
commenced making batter cakes, IN the
mean lime entertaining US. with his new
mode of life, and the pleasures attending
1t. In the first place, the people were all
free and equal, Z" fat, ragged and saucy,"
and cared for nobody. lie had not had
his clothes off for two weeks, and had VI
olated no custom or fashion Of the neigh
borhood. He had but two cooking uten-
slls-a frying pan and coilee pot. He
did not know what else he wanted, for he
was perfectly happy. IL should like
mails TO come once IN n while, though"
said he, for we have had but one paper
since we came here. and that Is aud old
n. y. Tribune, which we boys have read
through 30 often that we know it by heart
advertisements and all"
After eating hearty dinner, made
sweet by hunger, we left, wishing our
friend health and prosperity forever. He
was a PRINTER, scholar and patriot
Fifty miles further on we heard of our
friend II. We had formerly known him
as tall, handsome, genllemanly fellow,
with dark curley hair, dark eyes, The man
ners of Chesterfield, the learning of
