All Play and no Work—Grand Dinner and Ball of the American Residents in Honor of Indepen- dence Day—Rapid Passages of French Clip- pers—Politics—Health of Callao Fourth of Ju- ly Bal! at the Chinchas, &., §c. Bat little worthy of note has transpired within the limits of Callao during the last fif- teen days. We have to notice an unusual number of feast days, which have proved, as usual, great drawbacks upon business of every kind. Pro- cessions, music, fireworks and masquerades have ‘een the order of the day. St. John’s day was cele- brated by the Masons in good style. The Americans in Callao are making great prepa- rations for a grand dinner to be given on the Fourth of July, and in the evening we are to have a aplendid ball. The measure was started by our highly es- deemed Consul, the Hon. William Miles, of Baltimore, and# we presume the affair will be conducted with his usual judgment and taste. ‘The Committee of Arrangements will consist of one gentleman from each of the four quarters of the Dnited States, As our friends at home would be pleased to know how Americans in foreign ports spend their country’s national day, we will endeavor 4o fornish them with fall particulars of our celebra- tion in Callao. You will see by the shipping list that ships are pouring in upon us in larger numbers than for the past twelve months. The American ships from San Francisco are making good passages, and especially éhose which take the eastern passage. From Europe ‘the French clippers are beating the world. Several ‘passages have been made by French ships from Havre inside of sixty-five days. Ships are haviag very good dispatch at the islands, and many of the present fleet are making uta to sail thence direct. Ev fiat a ship needs bes be obtained at the nat ‘from Messrs. Crosby & Co.’s storeship. Messrs.

The Chamber of Deputies have much un- finisbed work on hand, besides which loud cries are heard daily from all parts of the country for reform in almost every branch of the rnment.

Adventure at Sea—Terrible Suffering of Part of the Crew of the American Whale Ship Corio Janus. On the 2d of April the American whale ship Cori- colanus,of Mystic, Connecticut, Captain Gwynne, being off Staten Land, sent a boat on shore contain- ing Mr. George Kenworthy, mate, and five seamen, to look for a harbor, which had been visited on a previous voyage both by,@aptain Gwynne and Mr. Kenworthy, for the purpose of procuring wood pre. paratory to a six week’s cruise amoung the Falkland islands on the homeward passage. Mr. Kenworthy spent the day in a wain search for the harbor, gn concluded that he had landed upon the wrong side of the island. Night coming on, and there being a ‘bead wind and cross sea, he concluded to remain 01 shore till morning, as at sundown the ship was no in sight. The next day, and the next, and the next, he launched his boat and pulled to sea in search of the ship, but no ship could be seen. Horrible indeed was their situation. Here they were, on a apparently uninhabited island, in the depth of win ter, with neither provisions, wood, water or fire. Their suffering was extreme, and on the second week after leaving the ship two of the unfortunates froze to death, and were buried on the beach. Their names were James Maynard, of , Conn., and Anto- nio Braver, a Portuguese. After being on the island nearly five weeks, suf- fering everything but death, (and they say that death itself would at times have been welcome,) all of which time they subsisted on raw seal meat, the American ship S. Gildersleeve, of New York, Capt. Brown, hove in sight, and with the assistance of In- dians (aone of whom had they seen till this last day,) launched their boat, and after a hard pull suc- in reaching her in an almost eee oe dition. bi were taken on board, and trea' the greatest by Capt.

Since my last there has been nothing of moment to disturb the tranquility of the public mind. The St. Marys is still kept in a state of preparation to resist and punish any outrage that the people of “ El Ceniaga " may be led to perpetrate, but it is to be hoped her services in such a capacity may not be re- quired. Everything apparently wears a peaceful aspect. Passengers meet with no interruptions in making the transit, and the public mind seems to have settled down to its usual every day quiet. Panama has been recently visited by three vessels of war, two French and one English, the former the steamer Sornsier and frigate L’Embuscado, the latter the steam sloop Brisk, neither of which remained long in port. The usual courtesies were extended to them by Captain Bailey of this ship, and returned by them. The authorities of Panama gave an en- tertainment in honor of the Frenchmen, to which invitations were also extended to the officers.of this ship, but which were respectfully declined. An en- tertainment has more recently been given in honor of our Special Commissioner, Hon. Mr. Corwine, by his old friends and admirers, which was attended by the officers of this ship, and at which the best feeling was manifested. I think the selection of Mr. C. & most judicious one for the settlement of this difi- culty, as he appears not only to command the re- spect of the natives, but to be very popular with the foreign portion of the population of Panama. There has but little transpired in regard to the settlement of the matter, but it is natural to suppose, from the steps which this government has taken since his ar- rival, that they see their error in not having had a suffi- cient guard stationed at this terminus for the pro- tection of passengers, treasure, &c., heretofore, by their endeavors to make things more secare for the ain rf le to think that there will Le r for the future to those who are peaceal hole of this trying diffcalty ina arms dignified whole o! ina manner, phy lay Loom au those who have the honor to hold so responsible a ition.

The Revolutionary Spirit Again Reviving in France—Popu lar Complaints Against the Existing Order of Things The Orleaniats Stirring up the Embers of Arvolt—The Re commendation of the Pension Commiticr Disregarded by the Legislative Body—Its Political Significance The Em- press at St. Cloud, de., de it is certainly not the least among the marvels of the strange times in which we live that now that Napoleon the Third has fairly carved his way through obstacles which might well have over- whelmed a higher and more commanding mind— that now that he las secured for himself, both at home and abroad, a position of almost unquestioned preeminence, his reign should be spoken of with greater confidence than ever as rapidly approaching its termination. In a recent letter | made an allusion to this fact before, but the continuance of the feeling I spoke of obliges me to return to the subject. The restless character of the French cannot, it appears, remain any longer quiescent under the apathetic preseure of peace. They seem to be just recovering the breath which the cowp d'état of 1861 deprived them of. Then they meekly acquiesced in a disposition of things which rolled them back half a centary; but now the shackles upon the press, upon freedom of debate, upon political discussion generally, appear to their eyes in all the naked deformity of their in- famy. There is something at the bottom of all this not ap- parent to the general eye. The fact is, the partisans of the expatriated house of Orleans have been cease- lessly oceupied during the last three months in stir” ring the slumbering embers of their former fire. The police are on the alert, and it is believed that some arrests have been made, but as yet nothing is known. Still the very singular fact that since the Imperial baptiem, in all the principal towns of France the same topic has been mooted and com- mented on with a vehemence utterly anusual of late, doen seem to imply that sinister means have been employed to stimulate it. Go wherever you will, talk with whom you may, you hear nothing bnt complaints against the chains which fetter the liber. ty of the subject.

Toronro, July 25, 1856. Legislative Representative Reform in Upper Can1- da—Qualifications of New Mewbers of Ccun il —Effect of the New Law—Morality of Officia's —Popular Reform—Altar Denunciations— Em barrassment of the Southern Raihoay—Frauds 01 the Government—The Education Questin— Sir Allan McNab's Elevation—The Harvests. Some time sinee I advised you of a change in the constitation of the Legislative Council of Canada, rendering it elective. The act to this effect has now been published. ‘The qualifications required from a candidate are, 1. That he must be @ British subject by birth or na- turalization, of the full age of thirty years. 2. That he must be possessed of property within the electo- ral division in which he isa candidate, of the value of eight thousand dollars over and above all charges, debts, &e., d&c.; or failing this, that be must possess this property elsewhere, and reside in the district. The qualifications for the electors are the same as those for the Legisla- tive Assembly. The period for which a Councillor shall be elected is eight years. The operation of this act renders the Legislative Council, in effect, merely gn extension of the Legislative Assembly. ‘The primexple upon wmich the necessity of a Legisia- tive Couneil or second chamber is recognized to rest, consists in the probability and almost certainty that local favoritism or sectional excitement may often foree measures through the Assembly which are injurious to the general interests. This—the Legislative Council, being an embodiment of the views, feelings and common sense of the people at large, was} intended to counteract; but the introduc- tion of the fourth clanse regarding property qualifi- cation and residence, effectually restricts the people in their choice of representation, and leaves the Legislative Council identically the same as the Legislative Assembly, with the slight difference that a few more people will have a voice in their election. I cannot believe that this feature in its constita- tion will be allowed to continue longer than when it will be exposed to the common sense of the Legislative}Councillors. The necessity of a California Vigilance Committee is already felt in some of our large cities. Tam certain that if a few of the determined spirits of San Francisco were imported here their salutary influence would be felt in every public department, either municipal or legislative. We are certainly free from ballot box stuffing and gambling, but bribery, corruption, and all their attendant evils are rife in Canada. The one great law which seems to form the moral code of Canadian authorities, is “Man mind thyself;" and certainly no people have ever evinced a greater aptitude for the vigorous ful- filment of the injunction. The verdict of the jury has been, in the case of the late fire of Jacques & Hays’ factory, that the great damage and loss of life would have been avoid- ed but for the shameful neglect of the Water Com- pany, in mot fulfiling their contract with the city, and thereby protecting the lives and properties of our citizens. Since then we have had another of these terrible visitations, in which about $40,000 worth of property was consumed, which loss is again traced to the wretched water works, several of their hy- dranta, which were out of order during Jacques & Hays’ fire, being still unrepaired. ‘The reform movement is, however, taking a very decided character throughout the country; the necessity of new men and new laws is becoming every day more and more sensibly felt by the people of Upper Canada. We had a meeting of the citi- zens ot Toronto on Wednesday evening to petition the Governor to use his prerogative, and dissolve the present Legislature; it was well attended, although a little too mach rowdyism prevailed to make it agreeable. The reformers all through the country are getting up maas meetings, apparently convinced that now or never is the watchword of their party. There is another peculiarity about many of the public offices in Canada, viz:—that the law of beredi- tary succession is applied, and in nearly every case successfally maintained against all opposition. To illustrate what I have said, I will cite a case in point of very recent occurrence. A very short time ago there were two offices asked for from the government, upon this principle, one of which, the principal office in the counties of York and{Peel, has beem acceded to by the ex- ecutive, The late Sheriff assumed the privilege of appointing, or rather indicating, hie successor, and his resignation was made contingent upon the ac- ceptance of his nomination of his relative by the government. The other office is that of registrar in the lower counties. A pathetic and parental plea has been addreased to the executive on behalf of a favorite son. If not seceded to, the parent will re- tain his office antil some sunnier hour may favor his wishes. The Catholios of Canada have been enjoying the benefits of a schiam in the politics of their repre- sentatives. A sufficient attention not having been paid the interests of the boly Apostolic church, some of those in power have been denounced from the altar; but all are gradoally creeping together again, and one by one the stray sheep are coming back into the fold. A rather amasing instance of this waa presented in o public apology by the Cachote Cotizen for it hasty temper, Ko, &e , pte musing never to do ge again, like a bad child) after a good whipping, expressing penitence and ames forgiveness. | ‘he anneal meeting of the Northern Railway | Company took place on Monday. The present em- bar condition of the company, fiuancialiy, is said to have arisen from the heavy expenditore at- tendant on 0; ap steamboat connections with the road year,and the depressed state of the money market consequent upon the Russian war. The business of the road, however, is in a satisfac- tory state : measures are in progress for funding the floating debt, and a considerable reduction has effected in the expenditure. The floating debt of the company amounts to $599,051 59, from which is to be deducted accounts gue to the company, $60,948 93.

Counterfeiting. ALARMING EXTENT OF COUNTERFEITING IN THE UNITED STATES—DIFFERENT MODES OF FKAUD— INSECURITY OF OUR PAPE! CURRENCY-~THE CAUSE OF THE EVIL—REMEDIES PROPOSED. There seems to prevail an almost universal inat- tention to the alarming extent of counterfeiting in the United States. This is doubtless owing to the fact that the monstrous evils inflicted are borne by the people as individuals, and not in sections or MASSES. IU I> wove: theleen CUE THAT SPUFvus money of every description is flooding every avenue of busi- ness; Bank Note Detectors are published almost daily to keep record of the rapid increase of bad money. It is notoriously true that no man takes a bank note without first instituting an examination as to whether it be a fraud. Yet with all these warnings and precautions, bad money circulates, and few persons can boast of never having been “ stuck with a bad bill.” In or- der to dhow more conclusively the alarming extent of this evil, the subjoined facts have been gleaned from the most authentic source—a reeord which is said to form the most reliable list of good and bad money. From one of the Bunk Note Reporters are taken the following PACTS.
