Almost on evéry day scene on the Bloomingdale read took place yesterday afternoon, some distance The other side of Burnham’s, in the persons of four feat trotters, alias rowdies. They were outward bound, and came sweeping along about 34 o’clock, ear; ing everything off the road before them—some- + times two, and now and then three abreast—and at a speed of 2 mile in 2:30 to 2:40 minutes, thus tak- fog up at times the entire road, and putting at the oimost hazard, life, limb, and everything that bap- “pened to come in their way. In goiag in an oppo- site direction, if they could be seen coming far in the distance, one might perchance escape with his ‘Wile, by hugging the fence in case a favorable turn- ‘out offered, while such unresirained dare-devils go tearing by; but in going in the same direction one cannot always avail himself of the fame meaus of safety, for if the road is the Jeast soft or yielding to the pressure of the wheels, ‘ey are oftentimes not heard till directly upon you, a8 was the case yesterday.

Onpzr. Sarturpay, Nov. 11, 1854. A Interesting Discovery at the West. Orrice Sup’r InpIAN AFFAIRS, Fort Surrn, Ark., Oct. 20, 1854. S8rn—I have the honor to bring to your notice & reeen? discovery of a valuabie substitute for gum azabic, discovered by Dr. G. G. Shumard, physician and geclogist tothe Lake expedition, commanded by Cnt Maroy U.S. A., to the regions of the source of the ig Wachita and Brazos rivers, im the north of Texas. The enclosed specimens, done up in a tin box (3 or 4 07.) of gum musquite, are for samples, and sept for your inspection and use. The remarkable similarity of taste, appearance and muocilaginous jualities of thie gum to that of gum arabic, in- ed De. Shumard to make some experiments, the result of whieh proving satisfactory, he caused some 20 ira. to be gathered, which was brought home on hie retarn, some ten days past. . Upon diluting ene ounce ofthis gum in two ounces of cold water I had a fine glutinons paste, which I have used in sealing envelopes and other ¢s.

Last week we suspended an article written for the purpose of explaining all that had taken place, in order to complete, and to confirm the particulars of it by a translation of the officia] correspondence with the corps diplomatique, a publication of which had been promised by the Diario Oficial. However, having been informed on good authority thata new correspondence has been opened by the corps diplomatique on account of the above menfioned article in the Diario Oficial, no orders have given as yet by the government ‘for publi- cation.” We therefore beg to suspend once more our article until something more certain is known about what the government intends to do with regard to the expectations of the public, excited by the Diario Oficial. In the meantime we give a translation of the eighth ar- ticle of the circular decree of the 5th September, 1853, which proves that the government had a right to expect the corps diplomatique to attend in uniform, as they did several times before at the balls in the Lonja:— Art. 8. Whenever H. 8. H. the President attends balls accompanied by the Secretaries of Stato, and is induced by particular circumstances to attend in fall uniform, this cireumstance will be communicated by the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs to the senior of the corps diplomatique, in order that by giving notice to his col- leagues, they likewise will present themselves in uni- form, if they wish to attend the ball. On'sych -oceasions, and at the moment that cach of the foreign ministers arrives at the door of the building where the ball takes place, he will have himself an- nounced by the servants placed for that purpose, to give word one to another, so that his arrival may be known within by the persons appointed to receive, in order that they may come out to the place agreed upon for the pur- pore of introducing him. We are authorized to say that the American Minister had no agency in proceedings considered #0 discourteous by the public, as it is well known that the United States had no uniform for its foreign ministers, and that the resident in Mexico had always appeared, and had been courteously recognized, at all the festivals and public ex- hibitions, in tho «ame costume worn by the Presijent and the ministers of his own country at Washington; therefore the invitation from the Minister of Foreign Affairs tothe corps diplomatique, to attend in uniform, could not have been intended for the American minister. The other ministers, however, who all have uniforms rescrihed to them by their own respective governments, in which they have appeared on all similar occasions, seem to be under certain moral obligations to explain why, on this particular occasion, they departed from the common practice which, in its seeining disrespect, has led to consequences s0 disturbing to the society of the capital. We are further authorized to say that the American Minister had so little information as to where the refusal of his colleagues was tending, that he and his family were prepared to attend the ball in question, when they were informed of its having been suspended. In its number of the lith, the same paper says only this furtheman the subject:— The coat question, it appears, has been abandoned by the government, and we therefore cannot do less than imitate so generous a feeling. The Siglo XXX. ig of opinion that the old coat is an archwological question. We certainly cannot but agree with that view, aa, at all events, st isa kind of antiquity perhaps nearly as old as the oriental question.

The President’s meesage is a Jong decument, in which he reviews the relations of Ecuador with fo- reign nations. He ve eee on her good harmony with the United States. In relation to England he is silent in reference to the negotiations pending for the astilement of the debt. ORILL A correspondent of the Pasama Star gives tha fol- lowing account of the celebration of the Dies i Ocho in Valparaiso:— On the 17th, (Sunday,) a national sslate of 21 es was fired from the fort at sunrise; st the same time were displayed from almost every house in the city Chili flags, according to the order from the gov. ernment, for it sesms thet hoisting of flags and il'u- mint houses is compulsory in this republic; con: sequently ‘tis hard to tell how much ral eathusiaam this peeple may have. At2 P.M. the gig, whaleboat and cance races came off, and as great interest was taken in this part of the celebration, I will give you some of the particulars. I noticed at the Captain of the Port’s, just Sets the race, that four sigs, four whaleboats and six noes were entered. The gig race came off first; the choice of position fell to Mr. Livingston’s yellow Chins gig, which had won the ‘races for the three peariass years; second choice fell to Mesirs. Nye & o., who entered a black China gig, belong'ng to Mr. Macondray, of San Francisco, sent Eere for sale; the two other gigs, fo: some unexplained reason, did not appear. 6 Me gig won the race by about one-eighth | of ami A whale boat and canoe race followed, and in the evening many of the houses and all the clubs were illuminated. The 18th being the forty-fourth anniversary of Chilian independence, was opened at sunrise by a grand national salute of t venty-one guns from each of the national men-of-war and the forte. At'8 o’clock Lieut. Wells fired a salute from the American atore sh!p Fredonia. . At 11 A. M., the Civic Brigade, of companies Nos. 1 and 2, escorted the Intendente, together with the officers of the army andj navy, to high mass, amidst the pealing of cannons, &c. “At 4 P.

FISHERIES OF THE PACIFIC. Captein Mitenell, of Paita, who, for ths Jast twen- ty-five years, bas been trading in the Pacific around ‘anams, arrived at that port on the 21st ult, with a cargo of coast produce, among which was a quantity of excellent fish, caught and cured at the Gallipagos Islands, where the captain has an establishment of Rey. men engaged in this branch of industry. The fish fs called ‘rock cod,” but it is different from the species of ths same name in the Atlantic, being much shorter and deeper, and more fleshy. The dried fish averoge about seven pounds excd. It is exceedingly sweet and well flavored, and when wel! cooked is said te be preferable to the \mported fish of the Atlantic. A little American schooner, called the Fame, which has been a few months in the Gulf of Dolce, about three hundred miles from Panama, engaged in whaling, has returned to that port with about two hundred and fifty barrels of fice whale oil on board, and abont a thousand gallons of cocza nut oil, mamm- factured on the Burica Territory, in the Province of Chiriqui, which borders on the Gulf.

I: is characterized by a truthfal- ness, a tenderness of sympathy, and a high moral Purpose which sppeal irresistibly to the heart of the reader, and impart a charm to this delineation ef lowly virtues which renders it as attractive as the most brillant romance. Bob, the hero, although he cannot with truth be said to be the type of his class, is, we have reason to believe, noexaggeration of the occasional examples of honorable feeling and correct conduct which are to be found amongst the deserted and fricndless children who usually puraué this calling. We have scea many, who like bim, possessed the instinct of moral principle, in spite of the vicious temptations by which they were surrounded, and who contrived to raise themselves to respectable positions by their unswerving self- respect and self-reliance. It will beseen from thesefew brief remarks that the general tendency of the story entities it to a favorable reception from all who fee- an interest in the condition of those neglected um fortunates on whom society is but too apt to look with the gold and often stern feelings of a step mother. To thore whe read merely for amusement it offers the attractions of an intercsting plot,well drawn charac | ters, and a style which evinces high cultivation, } althongh from tne fact of the book bearing noname, it would appear to be a first effort on the part of its author.

How fow of our modern politicians can say the same thing? Journalism is but to frequent!y the ladder by which the party leaders of our day asvend to power.
