New YORK, March 5.--The steamer Costa Ricd
from Aspinwall 23d ult., has arrived.
Ecuador has Joined the alliance of Chill and
Peru against Spain, and there is a prospect that
other republics will follow their examples.
A disaster has befallen the Peruvian navy. The
steam frigate Amdzonid, of forty guns, and the
iron-clad Leon, have been run ashore and proved
a total loss, and the American steamer Uncle
Sam has been seized at Havana on suspicion
the Spanish squadron, and guard of fifty Pana
ma soldiers placed on board of her during tn
pending investigation of the matter.
Ali the Spanish feet remained at Valparaiso,
except two screw frigates, the Vile de Madrid
and Blanco. These vessels are after the allied
squadron. They looked into the Bay of Talca-
huana, and were last seen off the Island of Juan
Fernandez. 1t is thought that the Spaniards may
establish depot of coal and provisions at the
latter point.
Commodore Nunez, commander of the Spanish
squadron, had declared that all CHILEAN coal, no
matter where found, will be considered contra
band of war, and has also satisfied the foreign
Convention at Valparaiso that the blockade of
the latter has been raised.
A serious fight had occurred ut the Rechineha
Islands between Chinese coolies and their over
seers. The military were called upon and a large
number of the rioters were killed.
The trial ofBradley and Icki, of Panama, for
robbing paymaster Rittenhouse, was concluded,
and both were found guilty and sentenced to i'm
prisonment.

A NEW REvoLUTIoN.-A battle, destined
10 be long remembered in our municipal his
tory, is in progress, between the Corporation
authorities and the streets. In the general
renovation, we have selected Mayor and
City Council that will meet the demands of
the occasion. These gentlemen are aIiye,
and we congratulate them. Fifty thousand
Of the people Of Nashville do the same
thing. There are several, say FIVE OF six,
people in the city, who do not wish comfort
able pavements who will object 10 all this
beautiful work on the streets. The reason
is they do not want TO pay for them. Pro-
perry owners must recollect, however that
dc ldu dLOus the people 10 have pavements,
and they are going TO have them. The
Mayor says they shall have them but heis
willing TO give the property owners fair
chance-if they cannot build pavements
themselves they may sell out to somebody
who can, or the city viii take both the pro-
perry and the job. Mr.. Peter Snarle, the
landlord Of many houses, may as well go to
work this morning and construct pavements
in front Of all his premises. The Mayor is
determined TO have good streets and good
pavements-a what MATT. BRowN says,
he means.

Is 1T TRUE Our reporter, day or
two ago, heard a statement by respectable
person TO the effect that the principal of the
Howard Public School Building, in correct
ing pupil for some trivial offence admins
tered more than one hundred stripes 1t comes
upon such authority that it is deemed n
notice through this medium is necessary. If
il be true, the man guilty of the airocity
should be notified by the Board of Education
that his services are no longer needed, and
should be advertised through the press of
the city as monster unworthy the respect of
any community. fit is untrue this column
is open 10 its correction. The people of
Nashville are just in all their relations, but
they will not tolerate such despotisin as
this would amount TO.

The Memphis Appeals commercial article,
speaking ofthe condition of the cotton market in
thas city. says:
The Secretary Of the Chamber of Commerce
counted the stock of Cotton in the city and found
it to be 80 loo bales against rs l9 bales the last
day of January. The receipts have fallen Oh the
increase Is due TO accumulation owing to small
sales. During the month of February the Charles
ton Railroad brought $50 bales of Cotton TO this
city. Up to Thursday night one weeks shipment
at this port amounted to 3,0l bales, against 5SO
bales the previous six days; and the river receipts
were $40 bales against ,465 the previous week In
New Orleans the stock of Cotton is decreasing on
the I'D it lSilG bales against 49,, 434 on the
18th. As the receipts are lowering In our own
city, it is evident then when sales begin to be
made with any animation the stock will decrease
rapidly. As it is well known that the English
spinners have no reserve stock on hand, they must
keep buying, and it is common belief that as
soon as they find receipts lowering and stocks de-
clinng in this country while they bare Of pro-
vision for the future, they will be in some trepi-
dation and become anxious to buy while they can
yet do so at moderate rates.
