The Memphis (Tsnn.) Avalanche, of 26th
alt, contains the sad details of the explosion
of the boilers of the steamer st. Nicholas, Capt.
McMULLEN, from st. Louis, at Island Sixty,
which occurred on Sunday night, April "a
destroying about sixty human lives. 1t is the
opinion of the survivors that all the boilers OF
the boat exploded at one time, causing a com
plete and instant wreck Of the boat. Capt.
MeMullen, at the time of the explosion was on
watch, and IN the pilot house. A heavy piece
of timber, displaced by the explosion, caugh,
his feet and held him fast. Ry almost super
human effort he disengaged his right foot but
hs left still, remained fast. During this time
he exhibited great solicitude for the safety OF
persons on the boat, and not until the flames
had come within reach of his own body did he
exhibit any anxiety for himself. Then finding
he could not release himself, he i~mpiored those
in reach of his voice to relieve him from his
dreadful dilemma, requesting at last that some
one would bring an axe and cut off his leg
Every e~xertion was made to relieve him but
without avail, and the noble Captain and true
man was consumed by the flames, meeting
death manfully at his post.

AAeE9ean news
The intelligence from South America, which
We pHeiish in another column, Win be read
with unusual inte rest by the people of Ohio
Tsose who know DF. TREvITr and his accom-
plished wife, would feel assured that the honor
of their country's flag as well as their own per-
sonal dign ity, would be sindicated by them un-
der all circumstances
The Steamship 81. Loris, which brings US
the foregoing intelligence. also brings us adj
vices of the destruction of the city of Quito by
an earthquake, causing the loss of upwards of
1000 lives. The loss of life is computed By
some as high as 5000. The loss of property
IL said to amount to s., 000, 600. Anumbcr of
small towns to the northward were also de-
stroyed, and some damage done at Gauyaquii.
A friend who has resided several years in
the Spanish American States, and who brought
his philosophic mind TO a study of the char
zrter and moral condition of their people, and
who, since : short period subsequent to the
late civil revolution in Chill, repaired to that
country, thus writes Us in a recent letter: "Chili
il regarded as the model Republic Of South
America. Perhaps she may be, and doubtless
is; but if SO, it is a sorry future that the rest
must present to the civilized world. She is now,
in the harvest Of the agriculturist, in the
midst of q civil revolution. The whole country
has been under martial law for the last three
months. Several important harbors are now
blockaded. The entire South part Of the Re-
public is in the hands OF the Kevolutionists;
while CopiaPo. and several of the most impor-
tant of the northern towns are also in the hands
of the opposition, and the good people of Santi-
ago and Valparaiso are feeling as though they
were sleeping pom a mine charged with gun
powder, not knowing at what moment the
match would be applied. The Government is
in the most extreme anxiety, and may well
say uneasy lies the head that wears a crown
With IS fine a climate as the world need
present to any eountry-with an extensive sea-
board, adapted to our extensive commerce
with . soil sufficiently prolific for the wants of
nzn-with untold mineral wealth, and with a
population sufficiently advanced to make a good
and = happy country with all these, and
many other advantages, everything seems to
me to be in the decline. Volcanoes, earth
guakes, confagrations and Revolutions, fill a
more prominent page in the history of Chill
than anything else"

Correspondence Of lhe Panama Star.

y VALPARAISO, March Is, 1859.
Since my last there has been . conflict be-
tween the authorities of this place and the Uni
ed States Consul. Several of the principal
tetors IN the outbreak on the 18th ult., took
refuge IN the Consul's house, and were there
several days without the Intendente takingany
apparent notice of the fact, or even SO much as
requesting the delivery of the parties in ques-
ton. Suddenly, however, in the absence of
the Consul, his private residence was invaded
by an armed body of police, whose object was
to arrest the revolutionists, and, if necessary,
TO resort to extreme measures in SO doing. As
they were not furnished with any order in
writing from the Governor, the Consul's lady,
who was alone in the house, refused to allow
the building TO be searched, and the privacy
Of her own apartments violated in the absence
of her husband. The police Officer it appears,
behaved in q very ungentlemanly manner, and
was becoming most violent in his conduct,
when fortunately DIR. Treyitt arrived, and with
some DILIGENTLY succeeded in entering the Con-
sulate.
Upon finding that the officer was the bearer
Of mo- written request for the delivery of the
refugees, he Immediately ordered him to leave
the premises; he then begged that the consul
would allow HIM to- remain until he could get
more positive Instructions from the intendcnte.
This was granted, and the answer sent back
was that the officer should retire Immediately
from the house and beg Mrs. TBevitt's pardon
for the intrusion, which was done The affair
mas then stated 10 be ali a mistake-it had
never been the intentien to search the ConsuPs
house; bat this was a very himsy excuse, for,
previous to entering, which was done from the
Fear Of the premises, all the avenues to the To-
eality were guarded and DSoae alloaea 70 pass.
