than ourselves. Raw sugars have advanced
considerably oflate, and the New York papers
assert that the present prices may be regar-
ded fully two cents higher than if Cuba had
remained quiet. This advance in prices, with
a prospect of still further advances, will I'M
qucstionably greatly stimulate the production
of sugar in Louisiana and other sugar growing
districts. After Boston has tried till she has
become sick, Philadelphia is now anxious to
secure steam line between that port and
Europe. There is plan proposed for line
to Bremen, andthc Legislature has been APP
piled to, for subsidy of $4,000 trip, while
the Pennsylvania Railroad Company offers
$s,50oa trip andwould doubtless give ten times
that amount for line to Liverpool. The New
York Worldsuggests that a good name for such
line would be the Beggarly Bremen Line, or
the Lazarus Liverpool Line 1t requires, says
the same paper, more than subsidies to
main sain steam lines across the ocean. Blu
siness is necessary. 1t is some consolation
to know that Baltimore is in no such straits,
rs her more northern sisters seem to be. A
Bolivia letter says serious revolution broke
out at the capital of Bolivia, on the 18th of
December, Meigarejo the president, being alb
sent at the time with his army The cause
of the revolt was the recent treaty limit with
Brazil, and the summary execution of one
Santos, prominent merchant of La Paz,
who boldly denounced it. Meigarejo has al
ready dispatched troops against the revolu-
tionists and declaredall guarantees suspended.
A fight between the hostile forces occurred
at Potosi and another at Forata, the govern
ment troops being successful in both instances,
Meigarejo in person was marching against
the combined rebel forces of Cochabambu,
but the revolutionists were daily receiving
. reinforcements, and the result is considered
very doubtful. The directors of the steam
ship line connecting Australia with Europe
and the United States are about to abandon
their enterprise. However England may

lantic it is evident that she strives with us
to great disadvantage in the effort to hold
supremacy or even equality in the Pacific.

of the ablest lawyers of the New York Bar,
and one ofthe most accomplished and power
full orators of the nation, took place at St.
Patrick's Cathedral, in New York CITY, on
Thursday last. The New York papers give
detailed accounts of the burial service. The
Cathedral, say these accounts, was crowded
to overlooking, and even outside in the street
large crowds had assembled, to witness the
funeral solennities. Members of the bar,
soldiers, poets, divincs of all persuasions.
scholars, members of the press, and Of the
medical profession, the Judiciary, manufac-
