THE N EW0.
Advices from the United States ship
Decatur, writing at Psyta, Peru, on 9th
of July, furnishes an interesting account
Of the trip OF that vessel from Panama
to the first named port. The health
OF the crew was much improved as she
advanced southwark. Payta has a
population Of about three thousand
persons. Flour and oil mills we're at
work in tho city. A miraculous bleed
ing image WAS pointed out in one Of
the churches. The harbor Is good, but
the country around presents a desolate
appearance. The ecatur and Merri-
mac were to leave on the 10th of July
for Callao. There was still dread of
another revolution in Peru.
We have adyiccs from Venezuela
dated at Caracas to the 18th of July.
1t is stated that the AYES Islands diff
Guilty had been settled between the
United Sites Minister and the pro-

wards the United States Cabinet. An
official note, signed IN London by the
English government, and the Duke dc
Malakoti, on the part of Napoleon, was
presented to President Castro deman-
ding the instant delivery of Monagas,
Gutierrez and GlusePpi, and it was
thought the Venezuelan government
would yield to the foreign pressure.

The first stone of the new st. Pat
rick's Cathedral in New York was laid
en- Sunday afternoon, with the usual
imposing ceremonies of the Church OF
Rome, There were seven bishops, in
GLIDING the Archbishop, couple OF
hundred clergymen, couple of hun
dred boy choristers, and hundred
members of the Conferences of the
Society of St. Vincent de Paul, in the
procession. The ceremonies were con-
Quoted and the sermon preached by
Archbishop Hughes. One hundred
and three persons-including two Pro-
testants have responded to a circular
Of the Archbishop sent to limited
number, subscribing $1,000 each in
cash, or in four quarterly payments, to
the building of the church. Contribu-
tons to a large amount were deposited
on the foundation stone. There could
not have been less than sixty thousand
persons present, half being females; and
nothing occurred to disturb the deco
rum of the occasion.
An Indian girl who was in the hab.
it OF Of selling articles on the cars, fel!
of the platform of the Michigan South
ern train, going from Chicago Tues.
day evening, and was run over and
killed. The accident occurred few
miles out of this city. Her companion
another Indian girl jumped oft at one
side. The Rock Island train was pass
ing the Michigan Southern at the
time the accident happened, aud the
girl was probably frightened by cars
whizzing past, so that she made mis-
step, and thus fell from the platform.
The recent case Of kidnapping at
Burlington continues to excite a large
degree of public attention in that city
The republican organ Of that city is OF
course making a fool of itself on tn,
occasion, while the democratic journal
while it condemns the act, most Elm
phatica ally treats it in conservative
manner, aud refrains from the use o
ridiculous bombast.
We learn that the bridge over Fo,
River at Upton in Van Buren, county
which had been damaged and render
cd unsafe by the late floods, gave way

OF the Upton Hotel. At the time o
the accident Mr.. Upton was crossing
the bridge, with an OK cart, which fel
upon and crushed him to death. Mr.
Herring was on horseback, and had al
arm broken and horribly lacerated by
a falling timber. The oxen aud hosse
with slight injuries.
A project is on foot to extend thu
Telegraph wires to Des Moincs.-
Doubtful whether it will pay yet /,
while, but enterprise is sometime
ahead ofproft, leaving profit to follow
after, as it generally does.
