Bogota News—Tax on Specie—The Panama Rail- road—The Consulate—The Weather, §c. You have doubtless noticed in the Panama Herald the project of law introduced into Congress at Bogota by Sefior Lorenzo M. Slerras, Secretary ef State for Foreign Affairs, having for its object the intention of compelling the transporters of specie across the Isthmus to take an armed government guard, instead of their present private one, for which they are to pay ten reals for every pound weight of Specie, without regard to the difference between gold and silver; this would be equivalent to a dollar @ pound on the silver, and a dollar on $288 on the gold. The Herald calculates, on the average of the first four months Of this yedr,-that this tax would ‘amount to $1,115,450 per year, which is equal to one- half the entire revenue of New Granada. According to the last accounts received from Bogota, this ab- word and unjust law has passed one reading fm the House of Representatives, and was being discussed in the Senate. You may readily ima- ie that it has created some excitement ere, and I have heard that the Consuls here have called the attention of the'r ministers at Bogota to the subject. Our present worthy Governor has lost mo time in advising the cabinet at Bogota of the suici- dal nature of this measure, and despatched a special messenger, or a buenayentura, for the perpen: As ‘an example of how little the interests of this Isthmus are regarded by the rest of the republic, I may men- tion that Dr. Justo Arosemona, writing from Bogota ‘to the editor of the Panameno, says that the Isthmus is looked upon in the interior as a foreign country, and cared as little for as Ceylon or the Cape of Good Hope. We have also accounts from Bogota that the bill relative to tribunals of commerce, prepared by Dr. Justo Arosemona during a visit to the United | Btates, and introducing many Me im; t im- provements into the present Spanish code, has been peas gine foe We looked forward here, with | great anxiety to this law passing, as it would be of it adventage to the Isthmus. Jam glad to be able to inform you that there is at last some prospect of the Panama Railroad being eommenced in this quarter. Some of the contrac- tors employes are here, the line is, they say, perma- nently located, and Col. Totten, Engineer-in Chief, fs at present in our city. One swallow, however, does not make a summer, and the company have | £0 often cried “ wolf,” that no person is inclined to believe them. Some day or other the work will, doubtless, be commenced—when it will be finished is @ case of quien sabe. Every allowance must, how- ever, be made for the company, who have difficulties ‘to contend with that require all their energy to sur- t. ‘The news of a new consular appointment for this port has caused great regret among the foreign citi- gens here, Mr. A. B. Corwine, the present occupant, having given universal satisfaction in the discharge of the onerous and frequently unpleasant duties of his post. I fear that Major Ward will find he has drawn 2 blank in the official lottery, and that the value of the consulate is nearer $3,000 than $30,000 a year. The business, the people, and the weather of this _ are all at present very dull, and were it not for little business that the weekly mail infuses into ‘us, we might as well be oysters, or any other equally mpexcitable animal. The Daily Ecio died on the ‘17th of last month. The Herald is now the only paper published in English in Panama. There is really another incident worth relating. PANAMA. The New Constitution of New Granada A correspondent of the Panama Stzr states that the new constitution of New Granada has been adopted, and was to be promulgated on the 23d of the present month. Its principal features are the following :— Ast. Direct suffrage in all elections. dies, with members elected 2d. Two legislative bo pulation, and to the other fo one according to the 5 according to the territory. 3d. Popular election of all the municipal and judi- ial magistrates. same correspondent says :—- Yesterday our city, and especially the House of Representatives, was made the theatre of creat con- on andtumult. Some of the military, displeased with the proceedings of Congress, and Setar an abolition of their pensions, induced the mechanics and artizane to demand an increase of import duties &. foreign manufactures from the members of the fouse. An immense multitude collected around the rail- bia and at one time created a great hue and cry, ich caused much alarm. he Executive re- mained passive spectators of the scene, showing but litle sympathy, aa they were not at all pleased with the results of the reform bill. While these disor- ders are countenanced, and no effort is shown to press them, Congress will have no security or ty. It is very probable, in fact sure, that the code of commercial laws, so requisite and beneficial to the Isthmus, will not pass this session, all owing to Senator Gomez, who used all his inflaence to em- Darras and clog its passage, merely from antipathy to it. Riotous proceedings continued daring the greater part of the day, and several encounters took ace between the principal youths of the city and artizans, resulting in the death of two of the mal- titade and several wounded.

In the meantime, I have seen with sorrow the continuance of this evil; but Iam kept up by the sweet hope. that the day will come when the Peruvian may know all these treasures, and appropriate them to the uses and ne- cessities of his race, not leaving to time or to circum- stances that another may come and take from us what we possess, Amongst the articles of export which I have not mentioned as useful to the speculator, ought not, to be unnoticed the woods for fine cabinet work and for naval construction, of which we have an in- termineble supply in the wide-spread forests sf this precious Eden, without the hand of man baying had any share in their plantation or cultivation. e most valuable woods for the construction of vessels are:—the no, a tree of strong light wood of a pale yellow coler, and of long duration; mohena, a yellow, strong and of delicate grain, the quality of which facilitates its working up—this tree produces a kind of plum, which serves as food for several kinds of birds; cedar, of bright rose color, very oderiferous, solid and light; cedar, of a whitish color, called the bad smelling, from its disagreeable odor, of light weight and great duration, and of closer grain than the former; there is another kind of cedar which va- ries in color, as alsoa spotted one, which would serve for the ornamented work of a ship, it is knowa by the name of cedron-mashan, which means to say “similar to cedar;”’ robles of three kinds and colors, one of yellowish white, very hard and fine grained. I believe that is known in England under the name of English oak; the cocobolo, one coffee color, and the other bright red, a wood of importance, and so strong that the wood resists the action of the hatchet. The mode of getting itis by burning the roots, after which, when dry, it can be worked up without diffi- culty. White pine, fibrous and very light; this tree p aces pitch—in the mountainous districts immense forests of pine alone are to be found; canafistula, a anne. tree of compact grain, not very heavy; it would be very good for the sides or lower decks of vessels, or for tloors of houses; for the latter purpose we have also a wood called the capirona, of so singu- lara nature that when it is buried in a damp place | it a (literally turns to flint.) hose which might be appropriated to polished work are—the alfara, a white wood with a rose- colored spot, heavy, strong, and fine grained; the muera-pinima, which signifies ‘‘ painted wood,” of a mother of pearl color, with black in such equal pro- portions that it appears to have been most caretully pene by hand, of most delicate grain—it is very rilliant and glassy in appearance; it is like the tor- toise shell tanimbrica, of chocolate color, with a black spot, and also yellow with black spot, shiny, glassy, heavy and solid.

Of this precious wood, as also of the muera-pinima and the palo de sangre, broad planks cannot be obtained, because the trees give at the most only three quar- ters of a vara indiameter. Many other lofty trees, of great height and size, are to be met with, of which the aborigines make no use, on account of the diffi- culty of felling them, and the greater in working them. I do not enumerate these because I am igno- rant of theirnames. What I can affirm is, that in these wide spread forests, the supreme government could have many hands empioyed, of those natives who live given up to idleness and sunken in misery, if it should be considered prudent and economical to employ one or two engineers, some carpenters or calkers, in the construction of merchant veesels or men of war, to increase our marine, instead of pur- chasing them from foreigners at a greater price than they would there cost us; and on coming from the Amazon to the Pacific, they might bring the vatua- ble ee of the mountains for consumption on our coast.

Lit- le or no rain has fallen; the consequence is the plant- ers are raking very large crops of an excellent quality of salt, which they will sell at reasonable rates. On about the night of the 1st instant, the fore and aft schooner Franklin, of Hancock, Maine, bound to this port for a cargo of salt, went ashore on the southeast side of the island of Bonaire, but all hands saved themselves in their boat. It appears that about 12 o’clock A. M. the captain judged the vessel to be twenty-five miles to the windward of Bonaire, and hove to for daylight. Atabout 2 o'clock A. M. the captain discovered breakers under his lee, and immediately tacked ship to get an offing, in which he failed, having a strong current setting on the shore. The crew go home in the bark Lincoln. No more at present. . No American vessels in port. Justice. Watering Place: 2 [From the Washington Kepublic, June 25 } The season for visiting the watering places, which are fashionable and at the same time healthful places of resort, having arrived, the proprietors of old and celebrated establishments have fitted them for the reception of guests, with all the comforts which the seekers after improved health and recreation can reascnably desire. The curative and strengthening properties of the waters, so amply furnished by na- ture, are generally known, both from scientific tests and the drinking of them, while the table fare, and the innocent amusements, and the companyeto be enjoyed, are ee appreciated. Among the places of the character here described, we may enu- merate— Bedford Springs, which are situated in a beautiful valley, within a mile and a halfof the village of Bed- ford, Pennsylvania. The waters have been celebrat- ed for more than fifty years, for their medicinal qualities. There are extensive and commodious buildings on the premises, under the superintendence of Mr. A.G. Allen, recently of the United States Hotel, Philadelphia. Persons in this section of the country can reach those springs by proceeding on the Baltimore and Ohio railroad to Cumberland, thence by stage a distance of tweuty eight mil The Fauquier White Sulphur Springs, in ginia, fifty miles west of the District of Colombia, are now open for the reception of visiters. The heal- ing qualities of the waters are very well known, and the buildings are upon a large scale, tastefally ar- ranged. Here are paved walks and covered way shaded by beautiful trees, with good fare and a tive agents, all under the superintendence of Mr. Thomas O. Flint. These springs are of easy access. The cars leave Alexandria at cight o'cl every morning except Sunday, and get to Warrenton in two anda hours, where a first rate line of stages are in readiness to take passengers immediately to the springs, six miles and a balf over a macadamized road. The Shannondale Springs, under the personal superintendence of Mr. G. W. Sappington, a conr teous gentleman and experienced hotel keeper, offer their usval inducements. Passengers leaving Wash- ington by the morning train of cars will arrive at Harper's Ferry at half-past eleven A. M., and thence in the Winchester and Potomac railroad cars, ten miles to Charlestown, where coaches will receive and convey them to the springs by dinner time, over a good road, and through a@ lovely country. The waters of Shannondale are clasved among the ne chalybeates, a combination of the most valuable description in the whole ranze of mineral waters. The finest Leef, mountain aud valley mutton, gether with all the luxories afforded in the fe valley of Virginia, are among the able attract Elevated on a oe of the m tic Blue Ridge Moun- tains, with good accommod: sts. and at- tenti ents, it must continue to be one of the most attractive and agreeable watering places in the country. Frou Mextco—The Brownsville Flag has dates from Tampico to the Sth inst., but there is little of interest in the news.

He says: “ All the public wants shali be attended to; no usefal thought shall be forgotten, and if uny measure should result contrary to the interests of the people it shall be immediately rescinded.”—New Orleans Picayune, June 21 Forrion Consut.—Don Giovacehino Mareo di Btretustegui has been appointed and recognivel by the President ovnsul of Parma for the dwte of Cnifernis, to reride at San Franelseo.

I saw yester- day, at.the office of the political secretary, a secret paper, upon which it was stated that the exact num- ber of the negroes landed from the Lady Suffolk at the Ensenada de Cochinos, on the 23d of May last, was 1,287. Per Empire City,“ F.” leaves for New York. You will then receive some curious details with regard to this and the other scandalous infractions of the law which have so recently taken place here. In the meanwhile, so many of the negroes have died on Zulueta’s estate, (the Alava,) that it is almost im- possible to approach it, from the pestiferous state of the atmosphere, caused by the effluvia arising from the dead bodies of the only half-buried negroes; and, what is worse, the disease—a kind of cholera gene- rated on beard ship, from the crowded state of the hold—is carrying off multitudes of the wretched vic- tims belonging to the neighboring estates. One of the sailors who came in the Lady Suffolk states that upwards of 300 of the negroes died dur- ing the voyage from Africa, from suffocation and other causes. Pe? The people here are indignant beyond measure at the impunity with which all the late disembarka- tions have been effected; and it certainly is very vexatious to hear it said in every quarter that Gene- ral Canedo’s arrest of Zulueta is nothing more than a mov ery and a blind to humbug the English govern- ment. . itis now said that his Excellency has given orders to arrest old Pedro Forcade—next to Zulneta the most extensive slave trader in Cuba. Within the last three days another cargo of 207 has been landed from a brigantine on the south coast, and several vessels have started from this and other ports on new expeditions to Africa, to bring slaves to Cuba. A Spanish frigate, one steamer, and three brig, sailed on the 22d inst., according to rumor here, for Vera Cruz. It is my opinion they have merely gone to cruise outside a little—probably to intercept slavers. In all there are about twenty-two Spanish vessels of war continually cruising round this island; but during fifteen years experience I never knew of but one slaver being captured by a Spanish cruiser, and the unfortunate commander of the vessel of war was disgraced and sent to Spain for having exer- cised too much vigilance. Mr. Guild, of Boston, partner in the house of Adot, Spalding & Co., of this city, died here last night, 1 penove ot fever. In great haste, Lad The New York Herald and London Times Extingulshed by the Spanish Organ in Cuba. We translate/the following bombastic article from» the columns {of the Diario dela Marina of June 22, 1853;:— Weare no friends of secrecy or mystery, as we have never ceased alpen On the contrary, it gives us pleasure to call things by their right names— wo call bread, bread, and wine, wine, instead of beat- ing about the bushes, as the old Spanish proverb says—and therefore, when the bull attacks us in front we think it better to catch him by the horns, as an- otber English proverbial phrase says. This plan is not only more upright and proper, but is also entirely, and without any doubt, the most convenient, because in the clear light of day things.are seen in their true fashion and shape, whilst large and ugly forms are covered up in darkness, and engender with the aid of fancy, frightful phantoms, where exist nonght but shadows and objects so vulgar, and of so little worth, that no one on another occasion would waste a look on them. All this heap of metaphysics, moral proverbs and maxims, has for its excuse, an article inserted in the London Jimes, and about which we might well know that the New York Hexatp and others of its cast, would en- deavor to make much noise. In this, the Heranp is not much wrong so that we will not have to dispute with itor come into collision with its taste. We have often scrubbed up ourselves on account of the blubbering articles of the same journal, which might not have been much pleased with us for it, and we hope that we will often again have the opportanity of playing it the same trick. Now that an occasion is offered to take a little revenge it would be cruel to deny it to the poor Heratp, because it may be de- lighted at its leisure and still more when it may flat- ter itself with the gratifying idea that in some meas- ure it msy succeed in producing a certain result. We have already alluded formerly to its zeal in mat- ters which for the greater portion of the United States are more than commonly difficult, and to its endeavor to sow dissensions, the harvest of which it expected afterwards to gather in. However, its la- bor is to no purpose, as we will soon pass to see. Besides, the article of the Z%mes is not a thing which in itself is worth much, ae, for those who are acquainted with that journal. The princi- pal organ of opinion in England, it does not neglect either paying homage to the eee or even to the prejudices of the country. ides, its style and models never offend through excess of civility, a3 the public men of England well know, to their cost, when they have any dispute with it. The grandilo- quent—if it be not too arrogant—tone which it em- ploys in domestic matters might ill be spared when it quarrels with a foreign nation, and we formulists, who are, through the necessity of our office, more or | less transgressors with the same senses, cannot, or at least ought not to be surprised at it. We are in the secret, and at least it does not become us to attribute to the matter an importance which it absolutely wants. Perhaps the 7imes may be a little more pro- fuse than ordinarily in impudent nicknames, and in promices of devouring uncooked children, but that is also an old trick of it, and must be taken as an idio- syncrasy,of its writers, vox et preterea nihil. Not always in these sudden attacks is the money as read, as the words, and therefore the same periodical, which against the Emperor of France exhausted the vocabulary of a certain category, dances attendance to him in some measure to-day, epting as propo- sitions his co-operation in the subject of Turkey. But this is not the true, or rather the impartial mode of considering the matter in question. Neither can the Times, by an article, modify the perennial conditions of a political situation by destroying affi- nities and sympathies cemented in the profound union of greater interests, nor even does that journal represent the Ce) and policy of the British go- yernment. This consideration, which of itself was sufficient that we might sleep at our ease with all has fortunately come to receive a confirma- tion as rapid as solemn. Truly the Heravp is un- fortunate since the period of its content has been 30 brief. We wonld bet something indeed that our New York colleague did not manifest such rejoicing on he discussion which took place in the House of nor crowed so much over the words of British minister as over those of the jour- nalist, even though both treated on the same subject, under the point of view peculiar to their nation. But in Lord Clarendon's speech—as better informed of the truth of facts—there breathes the acknowledg- ment that Spain and the Spanish authorities know their international obligations, and are animated by the sincere desire of fulfilling them. This is sufficient, and even more than sufficient, when the frankness of the language is realized by that friendly tone em- d by Lord Clarendon. We are not mistaken in ing the existence towards Spain, in the mind of this diplomatist, of an affection, repaid also by the Spaniards with interest, and the origin of which is in the mutual estimation demanded from matual ac- quaintance. ‘The alliance, therefore, between Spain and Enz- not cooled, as was pronounced by those who redit. Jt is not cooled, we say, but rather has a terdency to become closer. For the Heranp, and for the femons English-Irish-Scotch trio of its editors, this is a thing of little moment. There are people in th epublic, nevertheless, who would not hear the statement with perfect indifference. The fact doea not surprive us, since, for some time back, we had foreseen it a8 a logical consequence of outside infamy; neither does it make us vain nor inspire us with sen- timents of a different sort. The serenity of mind with which we have looked at the question for a long time past in all its complication: a question particu- Fiiy of nationality and of honor, is quite public ant notorious. But these incidents come so much to the purpose to corroborate the reasonings which we com- mouly in these days occupy ourselves in exposing, that we cheerfully take froin the testimony to cou- tinue with the same calmness in the thread of our arguments and predictions, Tue McrpereR—Mars.

Both these , and an unoccupied one immediately above that occu- ee by Atkin# & Keemle, saffered from the fire. (he warehouse occupied Re latter gentleman was completely gutted; no’ was left standing Tahined: by the flames but the walls, and in the interior of the building the walls fell during the fire. The warehouse occupied by Clarke & Thaw was large, and extended up Penn street to that of J. MCully. The turpentine and rosin stored away, together with brandy and whiskey, burned s0 fierce- ly, and created such an intense heat, that it was dan gerous to approach near the burning buildings. At one time it seemed that the whole surface of the canal was in a blaze of fire, owing to the turpentine, which, while burning, had become spread over the surface ef the water. If it had been otherwise than a calm night, the destruction of the United States Hotel and the Seiaesiog buildings would have been inevitable. At the time the fire broke out the slip was filled with boats, most of which were loaded; the boatmen immediately changed the location of their boats, and they were conveyed across the aque- duct to bl Hoar city, without either damage to the freight or the boats. The total loss, by the de- struction of the warehouse, merchandise, canal bout, &c.,&c., cannot amount to much less than $160,000; of this sum, but little falls on our citizens, as the goods were mostly insured. The following Statement presents, asnear as we can ascertain, the losses of the different persons :— ‘The loss of Clarke & Thaw, the occupants of the warehouse on the corner of Wayne and Penn streets, is entirely covered by insurance. A large amount of articles, however, which were stored in their house, were destroyed—fiour, glass, wool, rags, merchan- dise and whiskey. The flour was principally stored in the second story. The boat in which the fire origi- nated also belonged to this firm ; the boat was loaded with pig iron, soda ash, and a few barrels of turpen- tine, and was hauled up to the door of the warehouse. The loss by destruction of articles in storage cannot be estimated at anything like a correct figure. The firm was insured the Delaware Mutual Insurance Company, 1n $10,000; in the Citizens Insurance Company, in $5,000 ; and in the Western Company, in $5,000. The building occupied by Clarke & Thaw, was owned by the heirs of Dr. Haytford, and by Peter Shoenberger. The property belonging to the heirs extended from the coruer towards the canal one hundred and ate feet. It was fully insured. We did not hear whether the other portion was or not. Atkins & Keemle will lose considerable. In their warehouse was stored about 500 barrels of rosin, a large lot of coal, and a considerable amount of cof- fee in the second story. About one-half the rosin was destroyed, and the other portion saved. The coal and coffee were destroyed. We could not ascer- tain the loss of this firm, or obtain any information as to their insurance. In Bingham’s warehouse, on the corner of Penn and Wayne streets, but little damage was done, and that was fully covered by in- surance, in the Western, Citizens, aud Delaware Mu- tual Companies. The damage to this house was so slight that yesterday they were shipping and re- ceiving as usual. The buildings occupied by Mr. Bingham and Atkins & Keemie were owned by Mr. ape Patterson. There was no insurance, and Mr. P.’s loss will in all probability range between five and ten thousand dollars. ‘The fire broke out about a quarter to ten o'clock, and was not extinguished until after twelve. An oc- currence of rather an amusing character tothe look- ers on took place while the fire was at its height. The bridge connecting Liberty and Penn streets, and which, by the way, has always been an unsafe structure, was crowded during the Boe At dif- ferent times an alarm was raised and the bridge cleared, but only to be more densely crowded a few minutes afterwards. At eleven o’clock the bridge extending across the slip broke down, and about one hundred persons were thrown pell-mell into the canal. The water was about five feet deep, and luckily no person received any injury other than a good ducking. Two females were among thoze on the bridge and in the canal. It was rather an amusing sight to witness the scramble for shore, and the appearauce each one presented as he was drawn out. DESTRUCTIVE FIRE IN BALTIMORE. The eastern part of the city was yesterday evening visited with a conflagration such as is seldom wit- nessed in ourfavored city. The flames were first dis- covered a little after six o'clock, in the large new four story brick warehouse on the east side of Broadway, near Thames street, just erected by Messrs. Strauss & Brothers for the prosecution of their business as gro- cers and liquor dealers. They were just moving a stock of gonds into it, and had an amount on hand valued at about ¢4,000. The house, with its entire contents, was destroyed. On the goods there was no insurance; onthe house there wasa partial iasurance in the Firemen’s office. The flames next communicated to a small three story brick house, kept as a tavern, by a German named Tzensky, who, we understood, owned it; it was entirely burnt out. The fire next took two brick houses, owned by Anthony Prince, one of which was occupied by P. Schmit, as a tavern, and the other by several German families. Mr., Prince was insured partially on both houses, which were totally destroy- ed. The furniture in these houses was mostly saved in a damaged condition. In the meantime the flames communicated to the lower pt) AoE house, which was entire, consumed from Thames to Lancaster street. Tlat, of course, was the propenty of the city, though the stalls all belonged to the butchers, It will cost, pe $10,000 to build a new one. The wind set eavily aeross to the west side of Broadway, and the fire caught in succession to a small old frame, oc- cupied by Mr. Neilson as a lottery office. It was torn down by the Hook and Ladder Company. Next the two story brick house occupied by Isaac Ram- say ag a dwelling and tobacco store, which was burnt out—insurance on house and stock to some extent. Next a two story frame building occupied as a shee store by Mr. J. Jefferson was burnt out. Many things in this row were removed in a damaged condition. A large three story brick house on the cor- ner of caster street and Broadway caught fire, and a portion of the roof was burnt off. It was known as the European House, occupied by Mr. Kroder as a tavern, and was owned by a Mr. Wilson, and was insured. Kroder had no insurance on his furnitore and stock of liquors. At this point the flames were stopped, though several other houses slightly caught. It was impossible last night to ascertain an estimate of the entire loss, or the insu- rance. The firemen worked with their accustomed vigor, or a great deal more property would have been destroyed. The weather was Rosy Be hot, the roofs dry, and a scarcity ot water—Baltimore Sun, June 29. DESTRUCTIVE FIRK AT CITY POINT, VA. A fire occurred at City Point on Sunday afternoon, -doing considerable damage. The particulars, as we learn from an eye witness, are briefly these:--The Baltimore steamer Belvidere arrived there on Sunday forenoon, and as usual stored that portion of her cargo designed for Petersburg in the warchouse of that company, and left for Richmond at 4 o'clock. The fire broke out in the warchouse about 5 o'clock, and was discovered by the smoke pouring out from its crevices, The agent immediately opened the door of the warehouse, but so rapid was the spread of the flames that it was found impossible to save either the goods or the building. his building was erected last year by the railroad company, aud we understand that the loss is fully secured by insurance. The loss of the goods is estimated at from twenty to twenty-five thousand dollars. There were also burn- ed seven freight cars belonging to the railroad com- pany, valued at four thousand dollars. Also, six or seven houses, valued at about $10,000, emng which are the post office, Mr. Comer’s office, and Mrs. Da- rant’s dwelling. So rapid was the progress of the flames when the door of the warehouse was opened, that the agent, whose office was in the building, lost his watch and all of his wearing apparel. We have as yet only been able to gather the following list of losses ataong our merchants :—Mcllwaine, Son & Co., $200; Smyth & Dunn, $800; Wesley Grigg, $000; Samuel I. Marks & Son, $250; Turnbull, Morrison & Stone, $125; W. H. Blanks, $150; Pat- terson & Cooper, $1,500; Samuel Newman & Co., #100; Dunn & Spencer, $125; O. D. Heath, #280; W. }. Steward, $150; N. M. Martin & Doonans, $200; Pittman & Cuthbert, 300.—South Side Demo- crat, June 28. FIRE ON NORTH MARKET STREET, BOSTON, The alarm abont ten o’clock, A. M., was caused by fire breaking out in the fourth stocy of the granive block on Porth Market street, (Nos. ond 4,) owned by Hon. Ab- dott Lawrence, und oceupied by Hiram Safford, chair dealer und painter. Mr. Safford also occupied the upper story of the adjoining tenement next west, both of which ayarimonts were destroyed, together with the root of the first. Nearly all of the stock of Mr, Saiford was al/o de stroyed, The other floors in building Nos. 3 and 4 were ecenpied by Mevers Marshall & Simonda, dealers in cloth. ing, Hiankete, bedding, &e, Their stock was very badly damnged by water. Mr, Oharloy A, Kilham had his ecunting room in the same buildiog. The lower floor of the building Nos, 6 and 6 was ocgupied by Messrs. Yeaton & Kilham, produce dealers, wlio were damaged to a con- riderable extent by water. The second floor was occu pied by Measre, Wellington & , dealers in wines, x6 gars, ‘eo, whose stoo'. w considerably damaged by water It ia imporrible at the present time for any of the sufferers to make a ccrrect estimate of their losses.

Leaving off the offices at the two ends of the canal, itwill be scen that at every one of the San fourteen of- fices, (except Rome, which is fed by the Rome and Watertown Railroad,) there is a decrease, which may be stated as follows :— pl at the fourteen ane in 1852.. Decreatesssecscesesseseseses sseevesecsensess $37 332 equal to more than twenty per cent, and this is for only about two months of navigation. There can be little doubt that the decrease at these offices is owing to the competition of the’central line of rail- roads, running parallel and contiguous to the canal from the Hudson to Lake Erie, It will be seen that at most of the offices on the side canals, away from direct railroad competition, there is an increase, From Tex: The Nueces Valley says:—From a private letter received from s gentleman in New Braunfels, we learn that a party of mineralogists and practical miners had left that place in search of precious metals, and gone up as*faras the Llano. On Sandy Creek, one of its tributaries, they found many Mor- mons ‘ prospectiag for gold,” but not successfully. On their tour, they found gold in but one locality, but have returned with numerous specimens of ga- lena, or lead ore, richly furnished with silver. ie jeen of country in which this silver ore was found is kept secret by the party for the present. The Brownsville Flag has the following:—We would be very happy to encourage the coming in of persons to dig for gold, if we thought we could do so without incurring the charge of publishing rumor for fact. The lateet accounts received in this city, by yesterday's mail, are to the effect, that the miners at the new El Dorado were averaging from fifteen to fifty cents per day oy The San Antonio Ledger, of the 26th ult., says:— We have made efforts to ascerta’n if, as yet, suffi- cient inducements offer to allure the gold hunter to that region, We are sorry to proclaim there is not. We caution with earnestness all those who are en- pesca in ete that furnish them an honest ivelihood to cling to them. There is no chance, from present indications, of procuring the means of sustenance in the mountains of Texas.

About one-third of the aggregate exports of the country are shipped from New Orleans, aad aboat three-quarters of the aggregate importations are entered at this port. A few days since we alluded briefly to the progress to- wards completion of the Cincinnati Western Railroad, which connects Cincinnati with New Castle, Indians, by a direct line of seventy-three miles in length. Since that time we have received 2 report issued by the company, in which we find a greal deal of important information respecting the route and its resourees. The immediate object of this company is to connect New Castle, Indi- ana, with Cincinnati by the shortest line; but at New Castle it will connect with the road to Logansport, and thence to Chicago, by nearly straight line. At the seme point it will also connect with # line running from New Cast'e through Northern Indiana to Grand Haven, on Lake Michigan. The Cincinnati Western is there- fore the trunk end of two great lines of railway, extend- ing from both shores of Late Michigan to Cincinnati, the metropolis of the central West, aad thence by its south- ern connection to the South Atlantis. It will, in fact, be the central link between the Northwest and the Southeast. Independent of these considerations, how- ever, this railway passes through a portion of that pro- ductive and fertile couatry waiered by the Miami and Whitewater rivera, with their trivutaries, already populous with a thriving and industrious people, and having the city of Cincinnati as one terminus and the most growing part of Indiana the other. As a local work, then, it has the same advantages as the railways already com structed to Cincinnati; and, standiog ro high in the public confidence, if their position In the immediate valley of the Miami be supposed in that particular su- perfor, this has also the advantage of intersecting » die trict of the country which those cannotreach. In aseer- taining thefprobable results and profits of this work, We » must first ascertain the smount of business furnished by its own local drainage, next asa through route between Cincinnati and Chicago, and other points on Lake Michj- gnfi, ond lastly, as connecting the Northwest with the Southern Atlantic. For this purpore, the statisties of the country, with its natural and commercial elements, furnish the only relisble data by which an intelligeat mind can arrive at arafe conclusion, By tracing the direct line between Cincinnatl and New Castle (Is.,) adopted by the Cincinnati Western Railroad Company, and then: taking half the distance on the north and east, tothe Eston and New Castle line, and on the south to the Lawrenceburg and Mississippi Railroad, wo find an average belt of seventeen nitles in diameter. This gives rometh'ng over twelve hundred square miles of local drainage, through a very rich country. The railroad ex- periencs, both of Ohio and the Atlantic States, enables us to deduce from the actual statistics of a given section very nearly the actual amoust of way passengars and ocal traffic which will be derived from that section, This Iccal irefiic ie the great roures of railway recnipts. More than ove of the most valuable railways in the United States, such as the Eastern, in Massachusetts, have no other source of income. The Hudson River aud Harlem Railroads do not average twelve miles apart, aud that only about one-third the whole distance, yet the business of both is immenre, and that of the Harlem almost entirety local. The cost of these roads was three times per mile what tbat of the Cincinnat! Western will be, which is more than ax equivalant fer the greater density of the | population, The business of the Cincinnati, Hamilton and Dayton Railroad has bseo heretofore almost entirely local. In the month of March last, when the general buricess of the road had largely increased, the number of through passengers was very small eompared with the whole number—in fact, furnishing a very ineonsiderable item in ifs rece!pteesyet the way passengers of that line have execeded four thousand per lineal mile. These facts prove that in a rich country a belt of sbout fifteen miles jin diameter will sustain @ railroad—though for large dividends more extended commereial connections roust be sowght. Tne Cincinnati Weatern Rajlroad will have both the traffic of a rich local section, and also of extensive comtinuanees reaching to both shores of Lake Michigan, ‘The extracts which we made from the report of the Doily Hide Copper Mining Company, of Maryland, have no doubt drawn attention to the richness and extent of the mine; but for the purpore of showing that this Is om@ of the most promising companies now in the market w annex the result of a recent examination of the proper t by Professor Charles T.
