NEW YORK, July panama dates of the oath

message OF the President of Chill was we'll re-
ceived. There seems to be little doubt that
the whole of the north of Peru will soon be
given up by the Chilians. Some believe that

teen subjects relating to the war, and some in
teresting revelations are expected. He also

should be laid on the table, as also evidence
taken in the case of the Cobija Custom House
officials, now under arrestsin Santiago, accus-
cd Of tampering with dispatches for Mr..
Adams, United States Minister to Bolivia,

Foota, United States Consul at Valparaiso.
A bill has been introduced into the Chilian
Congress, declaring all territory to be Chilian
up to the Camarones Valley.
The northern Peruvian ports have been de-
clared free from infection and re-opened to
commerce.

RAILROAD NOTES.
EASTERN AND BOSTON 8 MAINE.

EASTERN AND BOSTON s. MAINE.
Yesterdays Boston Journal says: There are
several incentives which may induce the Bos-
ton & Maine to accept the terms Of the East
ern and absorb it, such, for instance, as the do
ing away of the competition between the two
roads, and remodeling of the terminals of the
roads here in Boston, thus avoiding the expen-
diture of $1,000 000 by the Boston q Maine up
on its proposed elevated entrance from Mystic
river to Haymarket Square. AS the absorp-
ton of the Maine Central would be likely to
follow any consolidation with the Eastern, the
Boston & Maine would thus become one of the
most important railroads in the New England
States

declared carried. Relative to the protest
against amalgamation made by Mr.. Locock
Webb, Queens counsel, at the Grand Trunk
meeting, he now threatens to raise every legal
impediment against it, but the directors are
cenfidenG that his opposition will be of but lit
tie Importance.
