chile, South America-Whent the last
mail left Valparaiso, on the I'd ult., the
Congress was still in session, and to it
had been made two department reports.
The following is the substance OF that
of the Minister of Finance:
The national income during the year
1859 amounted to $6,264, 165, being an
excess over that of 1858 of 100000.
OF this amount $3,95O,562 was derived
from customs, and the residue from
other sources. The amount of imports
during the year was 1874, 86l 1866, and
the exports to $40, 559.254. The for
eign debt, calculating all redemptions
at par, will be extinguished-the6 per
cent. in 1860, and the 3per cent. in
1877.
1t is stated that the 257 public store
house in Valparaiso are inadequate to
accommodate all the foreign merchand-
Use imported into the country, as shown
by the experience of the past year, one
hundred private stores having beenrent-
ed besides, during that time, at an
annual expense Of $3l, $780, and it is
therefore recommended that the Gov

The receipts from customs for the first
FIVE months of 1860, show an increase
$956,734 over those of the correspond

=. Revolution IN Chihuahua.-By the
arrival of the overland mail at st. Louis,
we have the annexed intelligence:
A revolution is in progress in Chi
huahua, in which the Zuloaga, or Church
party, have been successful. The
Liberal Governor and other executive
officers have been deposed, and have
fed to New Mexico for safety. In
Mexico Gov. Pesquiera's tenure is very
frai. He is fast losing ground, and
probably cannot maintain his govern
ment much longer.

weather and crops:
We have had another week of warm
and sultry weather. \ shower of rain,
of which we now have some favorable
indications-wouldb be very acceptable,
although it would be of no benefit to
the crops. Farmers are busily engaged
in picking cotton, which for some time
has been opening very rapidly. 1t is
generally estimated by those who have
visited almost every part of our parish,
that there will not be more than half
Scrop of either corn or cotton. Tho
picking season will soon be over if the
weather is propitioUs, and it is thought
that the entire cotton crop of the parish
will be in market bytho first Of Novom-

The Sugar Crop-Noticing the varl-

forth regarding the coming sugar crop
the Planters Banner remarks;
Several predictions have already
gone forth in relation to the growing
sugar crop of this State, some OF them
evidently going far beyond the regions
Of probability, or even possibility. AT
present the sugar planters prospects
are gloomy. The drouth has been
general over the sugar regions, and IL
is now so late in the season that we
need not look for rains soon enough
to produce anything more than moderate
results We do not see how the plan
ters can look for more than half CROP
