The RevoIutIon In Peru.

A Lima letter of January 14th says
the troops sent by Prado to.attack the
revolutionary forces under Col. Seyura
were defeated and their commander,
Col. Carnejo, severely wounded. On
receiving news of this reverse, the die
ator, without consulting with any of
his officers, determined on his final at
tack, and on the Odd water was cut off
from the city, and on the Goth the
commandment commenced, and was
carried on 80 hours. More than three
Thousand balls and shell were thrown
into Arequipa. Several companies of
infantry attacked barricades which the
insurrectionists formed in the streets,
and took possession of five, and occu-
pied position which after contested
combat they were forced to abandon
as they we're not supported by the re
serve. Gen. Bustamenio having in
formed Prado that the whole army was
In revolt and clamorous for his life, the
latter thought the story false, but inn
mediately sought safety in flight, leav-
ing on the field of battle his army and
all his wounded. His money, arms,
munitions-eyerything gone, the troops
became demoralized, and many large
bodies passed over to the enemy.
About 1, 500 men succeeded in reaching
Quiltas. In the meantime Prado ar
rived at Isaly and Immediately en-
barked on the corvette Union and ar
rived at Callao, Jan. l, whence he pro-
ceeded to Lima. The indignation
against him is great at both places and
Kisses and creams were heard in every
direction.
The night of the 9th the troops in
Castle Callao turned over to CanOzeo
the government without bloodshed, and
the advice of the movement having
reached this city it was seconded by
Limoos, aided by some troops. After
combat of five hours, resulting in
100 killed and wounded, Prado seeing
he was deserted by the troops offered
to resign the presidency and retire
from the country.
Field Marshal La Fuenta was named
president of the council of ministers
and took the supreme command.
Prado took refuge in the house of
the United States Minister, from
whence on the 10th he passed ON board
the United States steamer Nyack,
which sailed on the 18th for Chill,
VIII re he enjoys the rank and pay of
general.
On the 18th the squadron sailed for
Italy TO bring Gen. Canozco to the
capital.
Preparations are making for gen
eral election.
LONDON, Feb. 1. Evening. The mail
steamer from Rio Janeiro arrived with
later news from South America. Ad-
vices important. The inhabitants of
Rosario, town of considerable size on
the Parana river in the Argentine re.
public, have rebelled against the author
ity of president Mitre, and declared for
general UTquiza, formerly chief execu-
ave or dictator of the confederation.
The cholera, which has made sad raw
ages in Bueno Ayres, has subsidized To a
great degree. The disease, however,
still prevails TO an alarming extent in
the allied army In Paraguay.
There had been no fighting since the
departure of the last mail. President
Lopez, of Paraguay, remained at Ham
tia, and his forces were we'll supplied
with provisions aud munitions of war.

Here is bit from the last ball of the
opera: a danseuse, we'll known III the
public balls, came In a cOstume-but
such costume as you may imagine car
be made of tights and a simple girdle.
All were forced to remark the extraor-
binary audacity of this walking piece
from the ballet of the Porte Saint
Martin. A frantic shout saluted the
foolish girl, a crowd rushed towards
her, the next moment she was lifted
from her feet above the heads of a
pandemOnium of shouting masks, and
passed, amid clamors, from hand to
hand all the time held aloft, each mo-
ment in a new group of hands, held
like a frightened and shivering bird
over the foaming waves of an an
cry sea. Her halr loosened, pass
ed on and on, torn, half nude, the
unhappy and frightened girl wept,
cried, implored. Frenzied and frivoi-
ous brutes carried her in triumph, a
victim, a new sensation; in a fury of
excitement, half derision, half anger,
half admiration, she disappeared at last
AT one side, her cries drowned In the
noise of the crowd.
In the same evening an editor-in-
chief of one of the political journals,
remarked because of the puritanism OF
his sentiments, happening to step upon
the skirt of a woman, was recognized
by her; she announced his name and
covered him with abuse. The crowd
precipitated itself toward him, and
from a hundred mouths the epithets of
the woman were repeated and hurled
upon the astonished man. Furious and
ashamed, the editor-in-ehief tried to
speak; they would not hear him. He
was compelled to go out from the ball.

The Irish usraelIO Towers.
lFrom the New York sunni


The Martello towers are circular in
| form, and built of solid blocks of gran
ite over four feet thick. They are
thirty feet high, and about twenty-five
feet in diameter. The entrance is
effected through an aperture sufficient
to admit a man, and at an elevation OF
eight feet from the ground. 1t is
reached by ladder, which is drawn up
at night, and all ingress is barred by
an iron door. There is a deep base
ment, which is used as a magazine.
One twelve-pounder is mounted, and
In some cases twenty fonr-pounder,
en- bdrbete, upon pivot. They can
accommodate garrison of eighteen
men, AID are always supplied with a
large store OF fixed ammunition, grape
shot, cutlasses, rifles and other small
arms. The name of these towers is de-
rived from the engineer who invented
them, and they are occupied by MEM
bers of the artillery corps, and not by
coast guards. The were designed to
resist the landing of men in boats. for
which purpose they are admirably
fitted. They are placed within sight
and range of each other, and their cir
cular form renders them almost imper-
vious to broadside from ship. Unless
the shot struck at right angles to the
diameter, it would probably glance off
and iufiict no serious damage. They
are strictly a "part of the war estab-
Iishment," and not of the Treasury De
partment, and have nothing whatever
to do with the revenue service, which
is watched over by the coast guards
and revenue cruisers.

for it, when 1 read in the pa
pers that some continental monarchs
Travelled under assumed names, and
hear that the Prince of Wales also does
so when he thinks proper to go to the
London brothel.

Musical IteR1si

AT the Crystal Palace, London, has been
produced a comparatively unknown work of
Schumann's a symphony composed in 1850. 1t is
known In Germany as 'the Rhenishn (die
Rheinische), because schumann was in the
habit OF saying that the first impulse towards
its composition had been produced on his mind
by the sight of the Cathedral ut Calogne, and
strengthened by the grand ceremonial of the In
stallation there of the archbishop as cardinal,
which he witnessed while engaged in the COM
position. The impression which this ceremony
made on his mind he has recorded in the fourth
movement, or introduction to the Finale, to ac-
company a religious ceremonial. The work was
q great success.
1t is stated that NJ. Remusat, the flute
player, has formed al Shanghae musical So
ciety OF 450 members, for whose amusement an
orchestra OF thirty instTumentalists and chorus
of twenty-five singers are in the habit of peri
odically performing. RossiniS Stdbat Mater
is one of the pieces which are now being
rehearsed The performance of hymn to the
"Mater Dolorosa" must surely be a novelty to
the inhabitants of the Celestial Empire.
