BOSTON, May Z, 1862
Scarcely had the Boston Yacht Club commenced
TO prosper before the nautical fever became con-
tagious and its first ravages were over In that Sec
tion OF the city known as South Boston. One short
year only was the Boston club in existence before
birth was gwen to the South Boston Club and 1t is
to-day almost as healthy. II not as wealthy, a. its
senior. II boasts OF about seventy members, and
the roll is being increased almost daily. The men
generally are mechanics who haye got the required
qualities for pulling and hauling, and also possess
natural taste for yachting, and during the coming
season they propose to crafty that taste most
abundantly.
The club was organized In February, 1868, and
within about o month afterwards special meeting
was called and a determination united upon to have
erected q suitable club house. This needed acqu-
sition for their convenience and comfort was .

whole bay can be mad from any OF the rear or s,de

LIMA, April y. 1862
Ihe quidnuncs here are sorey exercised about n
suspicious movement now being made by General
helgarejo, the President-Dctator Of Bolivia. This
parsonage at last reports was advancing ,ovaras
the Peruvian frontier with his army and was exact
ing loans from the inhabitants on the line OF march
collecting supplies, &C; and IL was reported In Lima
that his object was to invade Peru, and take al.
vantage OF the desolated condition of the southern
districts TO overrun and hold that section OF
the country. The report IL not generally believed
here principally from the reason that there IL no
cdsus bell between the two nations. and, further
more. that, without grave cause. NclgareO. any
one else, would not take large army to section
where II Is not only Impossible TO obtain supplies,
but. moreover, where the yellow fever would he a
terrible and fatal enemy.
The reason of the movement appears 10 be the
fonowing:-A Bolivian bishop was some time since
appointed by the Pope, and To be consecrated and
perform the usual religious ceremonies the presence
OF i've bishops Is required. Bolivia does not rejoice
IN the requisite number Of high episcopal digniia-
ries, and General Megarelo ordered that the Bolivian
aspirant should proceed TO Puno, In Peru, where the
s,ehonles ya , could be duly performed AS the Boil
