Then followed a scene of confusion % baffles description. The procession, composed of ites and blacks, which was about entering the church Gan Felipe, broke up in the utmost disorder, and the _ ple dispersed in all directions—men, women and chil- 'p, im the greatest state of excitement, running to and , and calling on the Virgin Mary to save thom. “this occurred about 63 o’clock P.M. The troops of the ‘rison, numbering about sixty, and the police, some ‘ty strong, were called out by the Intendente General i Governor, and after restoring order in the city pro- ded towards the Plaza Santana, situated outside the iy wall, where it was understood the native blacks were “embled in considerable force, armed with muskets, ri- ‘yand pistole; but when they got to within a hundred cde of the plaza the blacks fired upon them, killing )ptain Navarro, who was in command of the troops, and of bis men. At this the troops and police fell back to ‘ walls, where they remained during the entire night, shout making another attempt to advance. A brisk ‘og was kept up all night from both sides, and aithough ne eight hundred shots were fired, no one was killed or the firat attack, but = great many are suppowed to wounded. Vben the first encounter took place between the ops, police and blacks, signals were made from the ie With the United States vessels of war in the harbor, feating that there was trouble in town; and in an in- Aibly short time rome twenty boats, filled with armed nm from the flag ship Merrimac, frigate Saranac, and op St. Marys, were got in readiness to render assist- se to the foreign residents in case of necessity. The Ats anchored off the city, a short distance from the ore. The force consisted of marines and sailors, accom- sied by Lieutenants Baicb, Moore, Fairfax, Sherk and yers, of the St. Marys, and Lieutenant Rameay and her officers of the Merrimac, whose names I have not enable to leara—the whole amounting to about eight ired men, who were all well armed. The firet hachment, under command of. Lieutenant Balch, ded through mistake, while ho was on shore ferring with the United States Consul. It appears sfiortly after he left the bonta, the Lieutenant in arge, hearing the report of firearms ia the neighbor- ‘od of the landing place, and supposing that Lieutenant bead been attacked, ordered the men to land, upon ning which Lieutenant Balch, acting under the advice ‘the Consul, gave directions for the men to be sent back the boats. Captains Kelley, of the Saranac; Hitchcock, of the Mer- ‘aac, and Thorburn, of the St. Marys, came on shore in e season for any emergency that might arise requiring oir services. fho blacks quietly disperted on the morning of tho 18th, about five o’clock, and the troops and police were with- awn from the scene of the disturbance a short timo erwards. ‘During the entire night of the 17th the greatest excite- ‘nt and alarm prevailed throughout the city, which was sensed from time to time by reports that the negroos defeated the troops and were coming into the city to arder and plunder. ‘On tbe morning of the 18th the Governor of tho State - & meoting of the native and foreign residents of Pa: a for the acoption of measures to prevent a recur- hoe of the disorders of the previous night.

A thick fog which hid the coast, and a strong current prevailing at the time, caused her to st:ike upon a rock some eight miles from Acund.

The ports of Coquimbo and Caldera are still closed. The revolutioniste are in possession of the former, though the main force under Gallo is at Sarena. A few days after the evacuation of Coquimbo by the government forces, under Chaves, Gallo sept some three hundred of his men there with several pieces of artillery he bad captured on the 14th March, bat soon after withdrew them to Serena, where he and his followers are encamped, ieaving a small detachment at the port. The Valparaiso market is stocked with flour, but no sales had taken place during the last fortnight prior to the sailing of the steamer, except for domestic consump- tion, and there ig no change to note in prices since the last quotations. Carolina rice has been #0ld in bond at six cents per pound. Capt. Ezra Nye returned from Chile, where he has been for several months, in the Northern Light. He sold his steam tug to the Chilean government for about seventy- five thousand dollars, after having realized large sums from ‘t on account of liberal charters paid by govern- ment for the transportation of their troops from Valpa- raigo to the North.

PERU. The only news we have from this republic is, thata plot to revolutionize the country had been discovered at Arequipa, in time to be frustrated; General Echenique was at the bottom of it. A person who was in the secret divulged the whole plan to the government. The Congress of Peru was still engaged in discussing, in secret session, the questions in dispute between that go- vernment and Ecuador, without coming to any definite conclusion. As the steamer New Granada did not touch at Guaya- quil, we have no later advices from the blockading aquad- ron before that port. jamption is that will be done until the final action of the Congress of Peru ig known. Our Bermuda Correspondence. Hammron, Beravpa, April 20, 1859. Arrival of a New Colontal Secretary—Retirement of Hon. Robert Kennedy on a Pension—A Comptroller for the Convict Establishment—Murder at Ireland Island, cbc. { Miles Gerald Keon, Esq., the new Colonial Secretary for ‘these islands, arrived here on the 12th inst., in the steamer Delta, from Halifax, and was sworn in on the same day. Mr. Keon succeeds the Hon. Robert Kennedy, who for the last Sfty years and upwards has held the office of Colonial Secretary here, and who now retires on @ pension of £852 per annum. Mr. Kennedy is said to be the last of the Patent Office holders under the government, whove pr: wore extepaive. Commander Charlies Frakiand Newland, 1. 1. ,-mvery appointed Comptroller of the convict establishment here, arrived on the 19th instant from England, and has entered on the duties of hie office. An inquisition was beld at Ireland Island, on Saturday last, before Charles 0. Keane, Esq., Coroner, to inquire into the causes which led to the death of William Corco- ran, ® transported convict. It appeared that the deceased was at work inthe same quarry with William Lockwood, also a transported convict. Au insulting epithet, used by one of the parties, resulted in a fight, which very soon terminated in the death of Corcoran, arising from some injury to the head. So brief was the dugation of the struggle, that some of the oflicers who wi only a few yards distant from the scene failed to reach the spot in timeto prevent it. ‘The Coroner's jury returned a verdict of manslaughter against Lockwood, and under a warrant from the Coroner he has been committed to the jail in this town, to stand bis trial at the assizes in May. A man named R. H. Monroe, a resident of ; was Yesterday brought to this city from the nortn part of Wisconsin, where he was arrested, after a long and suc- cessful evasion of justice, on a warrant cberging him with being the perpetrator of a series of extensive and most in- genious abd successful forgeries, whereby he realized about $12,000 in money, and swindled the bankers of most of the Nortb western cities ip a very complete and scientific manner. The plan of operations which he pursued was not a new one, but the way in which it was done and the success which atiended it were quite remarkable. This wos accomplished by purchasing genuine drafts on New York banks for various small sums, generally not exceed- ing ten or fifteen dollars, and by means of certain acids, of which he was in poezession, erasing the red ink endorse- ment and the words specifying the amount, and after. wards filling it up by an endorsement of his own and a sum of moncy, varying, io different Cases, from $100 to $1,000. These altered drafts were then sold as New York exchange to Western banks and brokers. One of these drafis, tilled up for the sum of $800, was sold to Little & Co., bankers, of East Saginaw, which, on being sent East by them, was found to have been altered, the original draft baving been drawn by the Bank of Galeva on the Market Bank, of New York, for the sum of $1,118. Oc the receipt of inteliigence by Mr. Little that the draft was & forgery, he immediately came to this city and placed the matter in the hands of officer Champ, with instrac- tions to spare no pains nor expense in girs it out, Tae suspicions of tbe officer pointed to a man living in Waupacca county, Wisconsin, under the name of 8. M. Hoit, and he immediately started for that region, which is somewhere up Wolf river, among the pineries, ’ On ar- riving at Milwaukie he communicated with Mr. Beck, Chief of Potice in that city, with whom offizer Champ pro- ceeded up Wolf river about one hundred aad fifty miles, and then proceeded across the country to the location in which they expected to find sonros, “They were entirely successful; and in a few minutes time ho was taken from hia Longe to the hotel, where the Sberiff of tho county was in waiting. Ho made no resistance to his arreet, but sub- mitted quietly,and did not deay the commission of the offences charged upon him, It appears that ® short time since, previous to his re- moval to Wisconsin, and while ho was living in St. Joseph ‘ounty, Ind., he became alarmed for his safety, and, fear- ing arrest, concluded to leave home, He then revealed She whole matter to his wfe, confessing bis crimes, and avnonncing bis determ’nation to seek safety in conceal- ment. Eis wife was borne down by the revelation of ber, busband’s viienies, bat, with trae female beroism, told him to go avd eave himself, aud ieave her to take the responsibility of her own and the children’s support, He left her fn the possea- tion of a @mail farm, and started on his travels, In she adjoming county of Jasper, he made a stop of two or three werks, during which time he became acquainted with a yoong gir) named Martha Witcor, whom he married and took with bim to Wisconein. The villainy of this opora- ion was i ed the more flagrant by tho recent traas. actions at his own home, which he had left desolate but a few days before, Circumstauces indicate that his con- eience troubled bim at the time. He says that on the bight provioue to his marriage he had a dream, in which he thought he was returning home, when he was mot at the threshold by the form of hin dead brother, who drove him away, and would not allow him to come into the pre- sence of his wronged wife. He algo adds that his present feelings are not more harrowing than were those of his mayriuge night, Bis young wife was sent for to the hotel, and came to reo him.” Tus #cene which eusued when she jearned the state of affairs is described as heart-rending, she was ontirely ignorant of the character of her deceiy- er, and the blow came with double force from the fact that she was left alone, far from home, and destitute. Her grief excited the compassion of all present, and added to tho trouble of the prisoner, who was now thoroughly overcome, He confesses his crime, and says he is willing to suffer tho punishment. Re is not a practiced villain, but hag been inducted to the mysteries of the trade which he has ko successfully practised within the last yoar ahd a half. He is consequently more accessible than could otherwise be expected, and has been easily induced to tell his story ly. He is broken down with the contemplation of the fate that awaits him, and with the trouble that ho bas brought upon innocent persous, ‘The ruin of the girl whom he deocived weighs heaviiy upou bim.

Much of this periodical shifting has taken place during the last week. But it is expected that to morrow the moving will be eqaal to that of apy former 1st of May. We believe the raising of,rents this yoar has something to do with the general mutation of domiciles; but the love of change is glad to have some excuse for its gratification. To move will cost at least fifty dollars, and that is as much perbape as the landlords will exact in addition to present vents. In England houge rent is generally paid every balf year—Ist of May and let of November—but people there rarely move, unless when the poorer class are turned out for non-payment of rent. May day, which here 's only consecrated to change, is there among the gayest festivals. It is of very ancieot origin. The word May ig by some derived from Maia, the mother of Mercury. On this dsy the ancient Romans used to go in procession to the grotto of Egeria. From time immemorial {t has been obrerved in England ag a rural festival, and is the theme of British poets. The Maypole is up, Now give me the cup, Y) drink to the garlands around it; But Gret unto those ‘Whose hands did compose The glory of flowers that crown’d it. ‘The ‘‘rosy footed’? goddess of epring, says an eloquent writer, ought to be painted “with a sweet countenance, clad in a robe of white and green, embroidered with daf- fodils, hawthorns and blue botties.” Gathering wild flowers on the morning of the lst of May is called “Maying,’’ and the youth of both sexes issue forth in quest of them, when frolic rules the hour. In the after- noon the flowers are strewn in front of the houses, and decorate the Maypoles erected for the occasion. Around these the peasantry dance, and the fatrest of the girls is chosen ‘‘May Queen,” and crowned with a choice garland. This month is appropriately called “Merry May.” Though the ship which bore the Pilgrims to these shores was called the ‘May flower,” their descendant in New England do not appear to do honor to the day. Indeed, it would be hard for them to find flowers in the fields at this season of the year. But the Puritans had religious objections to the festivity, and denounced jt as a remnant of heathenism and of Popery. Hence the old song in which will be found these lines, in which there is ® play on the name of the celebrated Cardinal Pole:— Besides they May poles hate with all their soul, T think, because a Cardinal was a Pole. During the Commonwealth in England, when the Puritans ruled the roast, the celebration of May, with other festivals, was abolished. But at the “ Restoration” (when Charles II. ascended the throne) these games wero reatored. That the custom came down from the ancient Britons there can be no doubt. The British Apollo in 1708, in explanation of milk-malds dancing before their customers’ doors with their pails decorated with flowers, remarks:—‘ It was a custom among the ancient Britons, before being converted to Christianity, toerect May-poles, adorned with flowers, in honor of the goddess Flora; and the dancing of the milkmaids may be only a corruption of ‘that custom in compliance with the town.”? Another old writer calls the May poles “ long wooden idols.” It was anciently the custom in England for all ranks of people to go out a Maying early on the first of May. Bourne tells us that in his time, in the villages in the North of Eng- | land, the juvenile part of both sexes were wont to rige a little after midnight on the morning of that day, and walk to some neighboring ‘wood, accompanied with music and the blowing of horns, where they broke down branches from the trees and adorned them with nosegays and crowns of flowers. This done, they returned homeward with their booty about the time of sunrieo, and made their doors and windows triumph m the flowery spoil. There is a yellow flower of rich hue, which makes ts appearance at this season, and is called par excellence the May flower. Old Chaucer speaks of the custom of ‘‘Mayipg,’’ and Shakspere has several allu sions to it, and thus melodious Milton:— Now the bright morning star, day’s harbi1 '» Comes dancing from the East, and leads with her ‘The flow’ry May, who from her green lap throws ‘The yellow cowslip and tne pale primrose. | that dost inspire y Woods and groves are of thy dressin, Bill and dale doth boast thy blessin; ‘Thus we galute thee with our early song, And welcome thee, and wish thee long. It ts on record that King Henry VIII. and Queen Catharine took part in the May day celebration, and that, with his courtiers, in the beginning of his reign, he rose on May day very early tofetch may or green boughs, and they went with their bows and arrows shooting to th: wood. Ata still earlier period the day was passed with martial shows, morrice dancing, revelling and good cheer, and at night they hgbted up their bonfires. In Sinclair’s etatistical account of Scotland we learn that the firat of May was anciently called in that country by the Celtic Druids Bal-tein-day, that is Baal’s fire day, when all the boys in a hamlet met on the moors and cut around table in the green sod by digging a trench in the ground of such circumference as to hold the whole company. They kindled a fire and cooked oaten cakes and custards of milk and eggs, They divided the cake into as many pieces as there were persons, and daubed one piece with charcoal. The pieces were all thrown into a bonnet, and each one drew blindfold. The person who got the blacken- ed piece was doomed to “leap three times through the fire.” There is no doubt that originally a victim was thus devoted as a human sacrifice to propitiate Baal. Inthe “Survey of the South of Ireland”’ we read that ‘‘the sun was Propitiated here by sacrifices of fire; one wagon the first of diay, for a blessing on seed sown. The first of May is called in the Irish language La Beal-tine, that is the day of Baal’s fire.” And General Vallancey in his ‘Essay on the Antiquity of the Irish Language,” speaking of the first of May, says—‘‘On that day the Druids drove all the cattle through the fires, to preeerve them from disorders the en- suing year. This Pagan custom is still observed in Mun- ster and Conoaught, where the meanest cottager, worth a cow and a wiep of straw, practises the same on the first day of May, and with the same superstitious ideas,” Quarantine and Sanitary Convention.

New Yorx, March, 1859. The republican party should be considered, in its aboli- tion principles, as tending to produce the same bad effects upon society that communism and socialism would have Produced in Europe, had not their utopian sentiment® been killed by a strong conservative feeling. The poor’ sometimes, in their deepair hate those who possess wealth, as if their misfortunes were the fau't of the rich. Butas both public and private prosperity can only be a conse- quence of a respect for the right of property, the pre. dominance of any other principle in society would be a dissolving and destructive one. I think a practical examination of the idea of abolishing slavery would prove that it is a ridiculous scheme, and that if carried out it would inflict a heavier logs upon every inbabitant of the community, including the black repub_ licans themselves, who possessed any other property, or jndustrious occupation, than it would upon the owners of the slaves. The number of these is estimated to be four millions, which, at an average value of $1,000, represent a capital of four thousand millions of dollars. Suppose thatin abolish. wg slavery an indemnity were to be paid to the owners of fifteen hundred millions of dollars only, this could only be done by creating a public debt accruing interest, and yhe government would pay interest at five per cent, seventy five millions of dollars; sinking fund, twenty — to run, at five cent, seventy-five millions of dol- r8—thus increasing the yearly taxes of the people one hundred and fifty millions of dollars. Capital seeks investment in stocks in proportion to their security, and when such a resource as the foregoing debt ig offered to the public, all other loans and investments must rate atthe same, or a higher interest, in proportion to [rad safety. When such an addition of Hage s'o'k as above contemplated should take place x value of every hundred dollars ‘a iene in the wou beat mivished—and that of money would be enhanced. If one Inpdred dollars of stock be purchased at ten per cent pre- mium in a five cent , the investment of $110 pays ‘an interest of only four avd a half per cevt; but if it be pee for $80, the interest on the investment would o #\X and a quarter per cent. The public wealth of the Union is estimated at eleven thousand Ove hundred millions of dollars, which pays an average interest of four and a half per cent, or five hun- dred seventeen and a half millions. If the standard of in- terest should be raised to 3% per cent, by an incrosse of the public securities seeking investment, Mois acnocater Public wealth would decrease in value until it became equalized toa 63; per cent stock, and would be worth ouly $8,264,600,000, being a depreciation of $3,236,000,000, or say 39 1-7 per oent of the remaining capital, Every One possessing houses, lands, stocks, ebarer, or property of any kind, or an industria! occupation, would lose 39 1.7 Per cent of their capital, as the aggregate wealth of the Country would be npeverished to that extent by this tirst effect of abelitionism. The present taxes of the country are paid on a value of $11,600,000,000. The subsequent ones, increaeed with the addition of $150,060,000 year, wou'd have to be borne by a value 39 1-7 per cent leas. The result would be that taxation would be three times heavier than it it ia to day, at the eame time that clothing, food and every commodity ‘would become dearer. This deciine in the value of everything, when the standard of interest increases, is the natural effect that is felt in every financial crisis. At such times the operation is to increase to the capitalist the choice of investment. Bat su; that of the $1,500,000,000 of created debt only one fourth, or $375,000,000, is taken by capitalists in the country, then that amount’ of capital is withdrawn from its proper channels of industry, and they would be abandoned to that extent, reducing again the amount of public wealth. The emancipation of the slaves would reduce the pro- ducfion of cotton and other staples, and labor would be- ome dearer. Thus the public wealth would also suffer loss in its exports, while the price of the staple would become enhanced; and England, buying at dearer rates, would be forced to sell her manufactures at higher prices, while the cost of these to the consumer would be sti!) further increased by the higher duties necessary to meet the necessity of increased revenue. But would the abolition schemes change the condition of the slaves, who represent to-day the poorest and most unbappy class of the society they aim to ameliorate? 1do not know that by the fact of becoming free they Would become rich, or even less poor avd miserable. 1 can only conceive that those incapable of labor or not baving the will to work, which is their inclination, would wander m the strects, disturbing the public tranquillity, and would before long require an appropriation or a large public fond to provide for them in establishments forme i for that purpose. These appropriations would be another source of taxation, to be paid by every inhabitant, includ- ing the black republicans, tne great power of the United States against England lies in their cotton; and when menaced with a war, some thirty millions of dollars would form a sufficient capital for a bank, to be establiabed for the purpose, to purchase cotton, or make advances on it, without interest, and pre- vent the sbipment of a single bale of cotton to England for three, four or six montus. The loss in interest would ‘mount to the round gum of half a million of dollars; while in that time Englant, through want of for her laboring popolation, would feel the a civil war that would reault in an emigr United States of a miilion of skilled and ind peo ple. This emigration, estimated ata mero valuation of ope thousand do'lara each, would be equi t to adding ‘one thourand miliions of doliars to the | unconstita- olition of slavery ehall take place, Would this rational power bo lost, b tion of t four millious of emancipated negroes might be stirred up by England, dy the distribution of small sums of mon among the most necessitous, to disturbing the pudiic tranquillity. The adoitioniets generally th have not studied, and on individ to differ from the whites only in color mistake, and if they would exa of the races, they would soon find th -y could readily distinguish that of the white from black man. The Bead of the negro aeeme to be closed to intwiligence. The only too! be requires is a hatchet; nothing is ever invent ed by him, ane ove generally have neither the know ledge nor the desive of their freedom. Tuey do not feet the eprings of ambition, nor have they the sentiment of economy; avd surely the last years of the lives of those who are freo ave passed tu tho greatest misery. Physio: logicaliy speaking, we can accord to the negro, at most, but two thirds of the white man, the other third belonging rather to the orang outang or monkey. ‘The abolitionists have the right to collect capital among thore who acqritesce io their ideas, and to uy negroes and mske them free, giving them lauds and woalth t» possess, But they have no right to attempt any attack on what is the property of others, and which shouid be respected the fame as if it were represented in houses, lands, &. Ithink, therefore, first, that the abolition of slavery would not bring any benoit, to the abolitionist, the coun- try or the world; second, that the plane of the black re publicans may favor their private interests, butthen that interest is to attack and destroy the Union; third, thatas it is well kvow that the biack republicans look to Mngiand as ‘their great leader and agitator, ber maisters and consuls should be regarded with great oantion. i A FOREIGN TRAVELLER HERE. not on @ ona subject they whom they concet¥a They make a great ine the craniums PRICE TWO CENTS.

Bossiere, proprietors of the Lowisiang It appears, from what we can learn, that there had been fome misunderstanding between the parties, and that there had been so much disagreement that Mr. Vernon had made known his intention to go iuto court in order to liquidate the concern. This morning, early, Mr. Vernon went to the office of Messrs. Cotton for the of the deeks, with his memoran. of drawing up a detailed statement for his lawyers (who wera acting also for Captain Bossiere), when that gontleman came up the stairs and took a seat next to Mr. E.

He stated to Mr. Cotton that he objected to Ddeing eved in this parish, and wanted the action brooght in St. Tama- ny, where he resided, at the sams time applying, so Mr. Cotton informs us, rather abusive leognage co Mr. Vernon, who seemed, however, to take no rotice of it, and contin- ued his writing. After continuing to telk in thet manuer for — few mo- ments, Capt. Boseiere yose from his chair and said to Mr. Vernon that he would like to see hm a moment in the passage.
