LATEST FOREIGN NEWS,

By the arrival of the steamship Ocean
Queen, from Aspinwaii, at New YORK
on Wednesday, we are in the receipt OF
news from Panama to the first instant.
Panama still continued to be agitated by
rumors of insurrectionary movements in
| the interior and remOter part of thd
State. AT one time an immediate inva-
sion of the city by the rebels was antici-
pated, who, as rumor would have it, de-
| signed nothing less than the seizure Of
the President, and the release of all the
State prisoners. The President, to rid
himself of this threatened danger in part,
put all the rebel prisoners on board of a
vessel and sent them back to their homes
in Cauca. The leaders, consisting Of
ex-President Calanda, Colonies Neira
and Vallarino, width few others, were
| sent off in another direction, some to
| Jamaica, and others to Santa Martha.
| Business at Panama was unusually dull,
the people being afraid, owing to the UNI
settled state of affairs, TO engage in any
general operations. The greatest dissat-
isfaction seemed to. prevail throughout
Central America at the late brutal exc
cution of General Barrios, and the ex-
citement in the Republic of. San Salva-
dor had increased to such an extent that
President Duenas was obliged to keep
himself strongly guarded, and avoid go
ing out at night, for fear of being pub
licly assassinated u.rr-r,.
There is but little news Of importance
from South America. In Peru, the rebels
were still holding out with more or less
vigOr. It is still very doubtful ques-
ton as to which party will finally DO
successful, though matters looked little
more favorable for the Government.
The rebels still hold the Chinchs Islands.
but allow American, English and French
vessels to load under their regular chars
ters. .a... .Tgrr 81
The latest advices from Australia are
to the twenty-first of July. a report
was current in Sidney that liquid petro-
leum had been discovered near Lake
Macquarie. The Maori war, in New
Zealand, YVES considered as virtually ter
minated. Advices from Auckland to the
first of July, Represented peace negOtia-
tons as then going On, with probable
satisfactory results
The news from the Sandwich Islands
is to the twenty-nintho of July. The only
matter of public importance that has
transpired since last adviGes, was the
published correspondence between Brig
ham Young and King Kamehameha, in
regard to a Mormon colony which the
former had sought to establish in tho
Hawaiian Islands. The King consents
to their settlement as agricultural and
mechanical Iab0rers, but informs Brig
ham that the Christian religion, rs now
taught in his dominioDs, is amply suf-
ficient for the salvation Of all his SUBJ

THE CHOLERA. -
The Medical Board has ceased publish,
ing reports of death by cholera, and the
epidemic may be said to be nearly at an
end, although scattered cases daily &C.
cur. 1t is now admitted that the rava-
ges Of this fearful malady have been ter
rifle, notices. than fifty thousand persons
having been carried off in six weeks.
BY some the number of deaths is esti-
mated at eighty Thousand but | am
satisfied, from careful inquiry among
medical and official authorities, that the
mortality cannot be less than fifty thou
sand. The scenes which have Witness
ed here during these memorable six
weeks will never be effaced from the
memory. Business was completely sus-
pended, almost all the shops closed, the
most frequented streets comparatively,de-
serted, and the seemingly sole occupa-
ton of the inhabitants was the burial of
the dead. At all hours of the day and
night, the dead carts were passing
through the streets to the cemeteries
loaded down with collins, sometimes
half dozen at time. In Stambou the
bodies were carried to the Golden Horn,
| and placed in maisones large barges) and
thus sent down to Hassken, where they
were landed, and transported to the
heights above that place for interment
AS many as fifty or sixty bodies were
carried in one boat at time, and these
floating charnel houses might be seen at
all hours passing along with theirfreight
of dead, injecting the air like the breath
of the pestilencs itself, 1t seemed, in
truth, as if the whole population was
about to perish, such was the desolating
rapidity of the epidemic. ~ 5or
Thousands went to bed in perfect
health, were seized with cholera i'm the
night, and in u few hours after died.
In this way whole families persisted.
Among the Turks it was particularly
fatal, because of their vegetable diet
their wretched tenements, the dark and
filthy streets and quarter in which they
+! live, and their obstinate aversion to
| medicine. In many cases,their fatalism
| was so intense that they refused to take
| any precautiOn, or adopt any remedies,
believing that it was Gods will that they
| should die, and that no human skill
could battle the DEGREES of destiny. For
| the poor, the Government provided ply
| sicians and medicines gratis; but this
class of people wouldhave none Ofeither,
| and died victims to their own obstina-
