NEW YORK. March Is.
The steamer Ariel has arrived from Aspin-
wall with $350,000 in specie.
Central America was tranquil.
The Salvadorian Congress had sanctioned
the expulsion of Basrios.
The new Grenadan Congress had declared
Murlllo legally elected President. What ac-
ton Mosquera will take about it remains to
be seen.
News from South America unimportant.
All tranquil in Ecuadora.
Quite shock of an earth quake was felt at
Panama on the Sd inst, but did no harm.
Peru has offered to mediate in the pending
question between Bolivia and Chilli.
The proposition of Peru for general Con-
gress of the South and Central American
States, meet with great enthusiasm.
The cultivation of cotton was largely IN
creasing in Peru.
Advices from Nicaragua give information
OF the ratification by Congress and the Presi-
dent, OF the contract with the Central Ameri-
can Transit Co., and the first instalment of
pay therefor. Fifty thousand dollars in gold
had been handed over to the government by
Col. Woods, the agent of the Co.
President Martinez had resigned, but it
would not be accepted, as such an event would
probably throw the country into another re-
volution.
The cotton crop of Nicaragua will be bet
ter than has been anticipated, immense tracts
having been cleared for its cultivation next
year. Over $2,000,O0o has been spent in Mic
aragua for cotton this season.
An English agent was in Nicaragua endeav-
oring to get grant of four million acres of
land to enable him to organize company in
London to build railroad across the country.
The government will doubtless accede to his
wishes.

JThe Kennebec Journal says that on
the 18th inst, the iron foundery connected
with the machine shop of J. McClinch in Hal
lowell was burnt. The building and tools
were owned by Mr.. McClinch, and his loss is
about twelve hundred dollars and he had no
insurance. The building was occupied by
Mr.. Fuller and his loss was about fifteen hun
dred dollars-no insurance. The machine
shop was in great peril, but was saved by the
essential help of a smart rain at the time. A
smart rain is an excellent fire extinguisher,
but a Portland Companys engine is much
more reliable.
