4 MWB DARIEN CANAL. Operations of the Exploring Expedition Entirely Completed. ALL HANDS HOMEWARD BOUND. Non-Arrival of the United States Storeship Guard at Aspinwall, The Commander and Officers De- tained at Panama. Important Results of the Expedition. The Napipi Route Considered a Success. A GLOMPSE AT THE CITY. LUXURIOUS SOMNAMBULISM. The United States Steamer Resaca. Panama, June 20, 1871, When the surveying party arrived in this city from vhe Tuyra River seventeen days ago, the operations on the Pacific side baving been completed, a speeay passage to the North was joyfully looked forward to, Months of totland hardship had been spent in ex- ploring a country comparatively unknown, but as ihe Resaca steamed toward Panama the perils and privations which had marked the expedition were ail forgotten in the cheering prospects of a pleasant return, Not a little vexation was caused, therefore, when it was ascertained that the United States storeship Guard, the homeward bound vessel, had not reached Aspinwall from the Gulf of Darien, though ordered to be there by the middie of last month, See has not yet putin an appearance and all hands are on their cars, so to spesk, hoping that each day will bring the good news of her coming. In regard to her safety not the least anxicty 1s entertained. Her non-arrtval is attributed io various causes, the principal one being that the surveying party on the Atluutic side may not have fintshed their examination of tne sum- wit of the mountain range near Paya. It will be remembered that the two parties met on the “divide” at the end of April. The lowest elevation then found was 76) feet, and the surveyors com - menced thelr retarn, one-half down the Pacific slope and the other to the Gulf of Darien. Im- pressed, however, with the idea that the survey might have been made so:ewhat too far to the southward, Commander Selfridge sent orders tw the surveyors on the Atlantic side to ascend the “divide” once more, and examine the cresi ten miles beyond the pomt established, in the hope of dis- covering a greater depression. The party accord- ingly left the Guard for the second time and pro- ceeaed up the Atrato and along the Paran- vita rivers, reaching the summit about tne jirst week in May. When about to begin Operations it was ascertained (nat the instrument for drawing the une of levels was broken, and as it was impossibie to repair tt, nothing was left for the party but to retrace their steps to the ship. Now, the general supposition ls that Commander Lull, of the Guard, has directed the party to again ascend the “divide” with & new instrument anda carry out the instructions previously given. Should such ve the case THE DETENTION OF THE GUARD 1s satisfactorily accounted tor. Apart from that, great ditticalty would be experienced im beating out of the Gulf at this season o. the year, and although the distance from for ancheeage gmauad to Aspin wail Is HOT much over two hundred miles, her pas- sage would be extremely tedious. owing to tae dire: tion of the trade winds, wich are now trifing, apd the strong current against witich she must contend, She has not been heard from for over a monta, but itis not uuesnal for scaooners to ocenpy tnat time in reaching Aspimwall, and as tie Guard 48 a Sailing snip, it is very Ikely her pro- gress has been much impeded by the opposing forces reierred to, It is necessary to mention these facts 1h order to forestall way sensavonal ramors that might be circulated concerning the safety of | the vessel, for nowadays the vaguest supposiuon of awreck affords fo some people a deliga {ut source ofcomment. Indeed, this class is so ex .cting that if aship does not come to me, notwitastanaing many apparent causes of de ay, her tonnage ts tin - mediately worked up, the place where sne was Hunt is ascertained, while the names of the pas- sengers are set forth With terrible lameniation, as if ali hands were dead and doue lor. Examples of this Kind have not been wanting within a receat peri.d; but the uneasiness and paintat anxiety caused by sach thougntiess reports cannot fail to bring upon those Who create then: tne severe censure ot the ninunity. ‘hat the Guard may arrive at Aspinwall ina day or two no one for a moment doubts, ana the reasons for her absence are entirely sufficient attd satisfactory as to leave NOT THE REMOTEST CAUSE FOR ALAKM. What fresh intelligence she may oring jam terion § the character of the “livide” wiready thoroughly explored if 18 nmpossible to say, but tt is hardly probable vnat any lower elevation than that pre viously announced has been discovered. And even though a depression be tound so low as 400 feet 16 would not alter the conclusion a.ready arrived canility of the Tuyra-Atrato route, "8 Wo the imprac i luvus Character of the cougtry on the mou »~ fic side precludes all idea of an interoceanic 1 wituin miles on either side ef the Tuyra River, ©» *yrecipitous fulls present the most insuperable bar- ¢ riers all ihe way ‘row Pinogana to tue Cué and thence to the “divide,” while the river itself is so lortaoas in 1/3 course as tu slut out all hopes of navigauen. Yet a great work has nevertheless been accomplished, and the survey of this supposed route must ever hold a prominent place in the im- portant enterprises of the ave. That substantial and reliable facts beretoiore uniy surmised have been establisued is beyoud ali question, aud authentic information relauve to the nature of this particular potion of the isthmus must b- crediteg to this undertaking. Not- withstamaing alt the voluminous reports that have been puolisued regarding the Tuyra Kiver and its surroundings, excluding entirety the imaginative sketches of wordy adventurers, the fact remains that prior to the savent of its expedition upon the wihmus littie or pothing was known about the route surveyed. Had any canal route existed in tuis direction it Would most assuredly nave been discovered by this undertaking, and not previons to its coming. Better organized and more thur- oughly equipped than any previous expedition, that which has now completed its labors may weil be congratulated upon its results, having done much to set at rest the VAR.OUS THRORIES AND SPECULATIONS that have for years been fraliiessiy inaniged in. From the commander aown to the least Important rticl it im the extensive Operauons there have been Ausplayed 4 zeal and a perseverance rarely met with under such adverse circumstances. And although tae anticipations relative to the route re- jerred to have not veeu realized, although the char- acter of the country provel vastly diferent | to that which seanty iniormation lea the commander and his omicers to expect, almost equal credit is due the expedition as if a frst class route had been discovered, since the amount of labor and anxiety involved were in both cases the same. So much for the Tuyra-Atrato route. What recommendations Commanaer self- ridge will maxe upon ms return It is imposible to say until the reports of the surveying party on the Atiantic side shall have been handed in. It is rea- sonabie to sarmise, nevertheless, that the tannelling of the surmrait dividing the Cué from the Paranctita river will not be inctuded. Indeed, there is scarceiy a doubt but that, everything daly considered, this route will be pronounced impracticabie. Not so, however, the route from the Pacific to the Atrato by way of the Napipl, of whicn full detatis have already peen giv Great confidence is entertainec rd to the success of this line, It ms not by any means clawed as AN ORIGINAL DISCOVERY, though {it ts very dountfal whether any regular sor- veylug party ever drew @ complete line across vo the Airato Kiver; but it 18 contended, and not without reason, that no previous expedition ever established the same iacts reiative to its feasivility for an inter- oceame canal, The only point yet undetermined in regara to it is as to the character of the Atrato River ‘at the copfuence of the Napipi. It has been tuor- oughly €xamined by @ party from the Guard, out the result will not be known until) the vessel arrives at Aspipwali. The line of the proposed canai is turty-oue miles, the dividing ridge of 612 in re | feet rising abont 9 quarter of a mile from the Paci fic hore. As previously menuoned. lockage and tun- Retling would be necessary. The sappiy of water comes from the Dogadow River and other tributaries of the Napipi, the volume beiug over two und a half muilion ,ations per hour. It is proposed to have nine locks irom the Atrato to the dow, or one atevery elevation of ten feet, w' would make them about two miles apart, From the Dogaaow cut of over a hundred feet is suggested, afier which wif miles throngh the Vessels would then descend to the by means of thirteen locks, The entire distance from ovean to ocean would be about one hundred and fiity mules, ‘This, in brief, ts the so-called p> route from Cuxiea Bay surveyed in Aprit last, It riainly presents much more favoraple features for a canal than the Tuyra-Atrato route, But whether a deep cut even through such a formidable as | 612 feet of rock Would not be preferable to tunnelling 18 @ question for consideration, Beyond doupt there are many diMculties presented, but that cbey coula readily be overcome 4 the engineering skall of the present day is equally certam., Ha’ already given full deseripiions of both routes their pro- minent features 1t will be unnecessary to recapitu- late. To all it must be evident that the expedition has accomplished a great deal, Two complete lines have been drawn from ocean to ocean, furnisping the most SATISFACTORY AND RELIABLE UNPORMATION asto the surroundings of the portions surveyed. Should neither of the lines be deciared feasible, Though the Napipi route is very likely to oe, the feid of future labors has, at all events, been considerably diminished, Great credit is due the expedition for the unwavering pertinacity which throughout characterized tts action. From the day on which the first tree tell beneath the blades of the muche- teros unui the operations oa the Pacific side were completed notuing could sury the ardor and cheerfulness of every oue engaged in tue operations; and when the labors were fairly commenced ai when the suderings incidental io the exploration caused many to think of the comforts they had leit behind, nota word of complaint was ultered, for the hope that their labors would ve rewarded by the discovery of the great highway from the Auantic to the Vaciiic encouraged the surveyors to tue last. Whether m the dense jungle, cutting @ path at the rate of a mile @ day, or plodding through the swamps in canoes, the best of spirits were maintained, More voracious insects never commenced a siege against detenceless Mortals, and at times buth men and officers presented a sorry sight. There was Tever in the camps, and the bravest of the men were PROSTRATED FOR DAYS, but the unremiteing care and attention of the medi- cal oficer soon dispetied all fears, 80 that when sickness did come it was thought lighuy of, Witn the exception of one machetero, & native of Cartne- gena, who imbibed too freely, no deaths have oo- curred in connection with the expedition, To this gratifying circumatance may be attributed the splendid discipline, the prompt supplies of substan- tual rations and suitable appurtenances and the regularity with which the admirable arrange- ments were carried ont. The graceiul compliment which Commander Selfridge paid the seamen of the Resaca wao had participated in the opera: tions was exceedingly Well merited, On leaving that vessel with the officers of the expedition, on the morning of the 3d inst, when it was expected that the Guard was in waiting at Aspinwall, Com- maader Selfruige cailed some twenty-five of the men ait and addiessed them in eulogistic terms, advert- ing especiaily to the STEADINGSS, OBEDIENCE AND ENERGY they had displayed while engaged m the opera- tons. A more appropriate encomium could not have been passed. But it was a sad disappomtment to learn on coming ashore that the Guard had hot reached Aspinwall, for all hands Were most eager to return, Since that time nine oMcers and the comiuander have ben waiting—I cannot say patien*ly—in this city tor the arrival of the vessel. As I lave already stated, no tears what- ever are entertained for her safety, and it is geuer- ally conceded that she has been detainea in the Gulf of Darien, awaiting the return of the party from the ‘divide,’ or in case that tne ship lett te Gulf, that both Wind and current pave retarded her voyage. But the uncertainty must im a tew days be entirely dispelled. LUXURIOUS SOMNAMBULISM. For those of a lethargic tarn Panama is a darling spot, Kor the dozing man it surely ts the promised land, and it 1s not improbable that some remote an- cestor of the Pickwickian fat boy was born in this sleepy city. Exclusive of the foreigners, who com- prise the best portion of tne pulation, novody seems to do anything. Jn the older and ower por- tions of the cily nearly every house has 1s store, wherein are displayed on shelves regiments of fancy looking bottles, gazed adwiriagly upon by swarthy female owncrs, who loll about the Iivelung day i a state of semi-somnambulism.

CENTRAL AMERICA Revolution in Guatemala Progressing--- Defeat of Government Troops. Success of the New Government of Salvador. Railroad Enterprises in Honduras and Costa Rica. The Revolution Progressing—Disgracefal De- feat of Eight Hundred Government Troops at Chiche—Dissatistaction with the Geveru- mont—Heavy Raine vasa, June %, 1871. ‘The revolation in this republic conttoues without any decisive move on either side. Up to the latest advices, 6th inst., the revolutionists appeared to be gaining ground, not only in a military port of view, but also im the sympathies of the people. The arbitrary and bigoted rule of the Church, or Jesuit party, who for years past have ruled the country, 1s daily becoming more distasteful to the masses, and Wf we may judge from the events which have recently transpired, it would seem that the present revolution has a much better prospect of success than any which has been tnsagarated tn Guatemala for many years past. The principal events of the war since my last communication may be briefly summed up as follows:— About the 19th ult. the revolutionists, under com- mand of their cntef leader, Miguel Garcia Granados, attacked and took possession of the town of Retal- huichu, which was garrisoned by some three hun- dred government troops under Colunel Oadenas, aiter a sharp fight, in which the loss on each side was about equal—some twenty men each, among whom was Colonel Péron, o1 the revolutionists, formerly a general under ‘Maximilian, im Mexico. The government forces retired, leaving the place in possession of Granados, who, in revenge for the obstinate resistance made by the inhabitants of Retalhulchu, set fire to the town and destroyed 400 of the Indian huis which it was composed, The revolutionists next marched on Masatenango, another important town in tue Costa Grande, and surrounded by one of the richest coffee regions in tne republic, and occupied it without resistance. Then they took up their line of march to the city of Antigua, the tormer capital, which they reached without encoua- tering any opposition, it was their intention to enter and occupy this city also, but fluding the Mhabitants less enthusiastic in his favor than he expected, and doubting bis ability to cope success- fully with the Jorce under Colonel Barrientos, which defended the place, Granaaos abandoned the idea and continued with his command to the town of Sau Martin, from whence he might successfully operate against Guatemala city, the capital of the republic. For several days after the receipt. | of the news that the revyoutionists had intrencned themselves at San Martin the most intense excitement existed in the capital, and an attack was houily expected. The general feel- ing was openiy and decidediy expressed in favor of the proposed hew régine, and had Granados under taken prompwy to carry out his plans and take the city the smail garrison it contained would have made but jiitle, it any, resistance, and all woula at once have declared for him. But the revolutionary leader, apparently ignorant of the state of affairs at the seat of government, delayed, awaiting rein- forcements from Saivador and flrearms from abroad, whicu he datly expected. In thé meantime govern- Ment troops were called in from all available points, and the city put in such a state of defence as lo ren- | der a successtul altack on the part of Granados with his limited force impossible, The critical moment | Deing thus allowed to pass without advantage nav- ing been taken of it, the government decided to act on the offensive, A force was organized, under | command of Colonel Calogne, and sent out agamst In other respects liutic cause is given for | re tled atiitude and aspect of threesourths of the innabtt- | Mat ebaty Mes the revolutionists in San Martin.“ ‘The latter, hear- img of tius movement, and having veen disap- pointed both in the reinforcements aud supplies ex- pected, abandoned their position and moved ta the direction of Vera Craz. Colonel Calogne followed in pursuit, and on the 29th ult, succeeded in over- taking the retreating enemy at the town of Chiché, in the Department of Totomicapan, where a battle was fought, which resulted in the defeat of the gov- ernment troops, With @ loss of ten or twelve Kilied and wounded, The force wuder Colonel Calorne, thus disgrace- fully defeated, numbered 800 men, commanded by Lieutenant Coloneis Cueras and Salazar. Private advices state that “they fired only one volley in the direction of the revels, and then, to # man, with inany otticers, bruke ran! threw away (heir arms and scattered in all directions, wy ie er to s Hires eee mol hid to be about one hundred ‘ans, picked marksmen, armed with epeating rifles, who occupy the advance, and it is to the unerring aim and deadly fire ot us handful of men that the panic at Ohiché is attributed, From Cliché Granados in- tended remrning to Masatenango, where he purpo making astamd and dectariag himself lverator of tue country. ‘the report previously received that Don Jnan Viteri with the revolutionary force under his com- maad had taken possession of the town of Gescu- intla, situated on the main road front the port to the capital, turns out ta be incorrect. Viteri had raised about five hundred men, at the head of whom he marched to attack the city of Antigua, His inen demanded the privilege of sacking the place as soon as they entered it, but on being dened that privilege by their commander 250 deserted. The | small army left not being suffictent to act against ants of any other locality to dispose of the same | | future. | im which case the entire easiern Antigua, Viteri continued to Tepan, where the bal- ance of his men deserted, leaving only about filty who proved faithial.

SALVADOR. jew Government—New Tele- ph Lines Projected. PANAMA, June 20, 1871, The latest advices from this republic, to the sth ull, announce that the most friendly relations now exist between Salvador and the other Central American States. Guatemaia and Costa Rica have already recognized the new government, and it is believed the other republics will soon do likew The provisional administration of General Gonzales appears thus far to give general satisfaction. The army has been disbanded and the soldiers have quietly returned to their homes. The work of pub- lic improvements has been resumed and now tele- graph lines have been projected and steps taken to carry wem through.

Of the new lines of telegraph projected in the re- puvlic the Bolrtin Oficial gives the following par- ticulars:—"Mr, C. H. Billings (an American) pur- poses to enter into a contract for the construction of lines of telegraph from the capital to La Union and Chalatenango, with stations at all the Jotermediate towns; another line to Cojutepequ Ty Sensuntepeque by way of liobasco; anovner to San Vincente and Zacatecoluco, and another to China- meca and Usulutan, for the sum of $50,000," It 1s thought the government will accept the proposal, part of the State will be in communication with the capital.

Referring to she late troubles within her borders in connection with the war with Salva- dor, the Boetin Oficial of dan Salvador of dist May says:—'‘Letters have been received from Teguei- galpa, in Honduray, stating that General Xatruch had evacuated that city and taken the direction of Nicaragua on the 19th uit, accompanied by a few individuals, Xatruch came to this determination when he heard that the forces of the government were in ession of all of the republic and were preparing to avack him in Teguer gaipa. This place it was expected would be vecupied by the forces of Generals Alvarez and an Severn on the 2ist uit. Geueral Xatruch, ma proclamation, took leave of Honduras, having latied vo carry out his plans with respect to that republic.” From this it would appear that peace Tas been restored in this repuplic, and that the civil war and troubles caused by the invasion of Xatruch had finally come to an end, The work on the Interoceanic Railroad is pro- Gresping slowly. but aversuiv. ‘The covarructiau of | vicinity to much the line om the Pacific side has not yet been com. menced.

There are many who drive who scarcely comprehend the first rudiments of the art, and jeopardize the lives of others as well as thelr own by taking the middie of the road and keeping there, as though no one else had any right to a portion of it. Many drivers of heavy vehicles totally ignore the presence of light Wagons, conscious of the superiority of their own in strength in case of collision. Some drivers in it in” towards the carriages they are before they have fairly got clear of them, causing a sudden pulling back that throws a whole line of carriages into confusion. Our Park roads, although much wider than they were orginally, are still too narrow, and wiil never be of the right width until they are made as wide as the Sixth Avenue Boulevard, which fs 150 teet from curb to curb. The Park officers ought to be instructea to compel all to keep on the right at all times, There are many who, meeting [riends, come to a stop and carry on a long conversation, choking up the drive and putting others in their inconvenience, This should be putastop to. Sigus should be put up in the Park embodying in a (ew words some of the above ideas, They are needed fully as much as those that compel all to drive at @ rate not to exceed seven Tiles an hour, aud we will venture to say will de- crease the number of accidents if followed. The disease among horses called by veterinarians “cerebro spinal meningitis’ is still claiming a targe number of victims, and seems to be spreading among the private’ stables, It has carried oif many fine animals during the past week. It does not seem tobe understood much better now than when it first made its appearance, Horses which bave every advantage of good stating, care and food seem to suffer fully as much as those that are not so w red for, which destroys the theory that the disease 1s attributable to the kind or quality of 1ood the animals receive, Veteri- nary surgeons in this city do not seem to have the highest opinions of each other's skill, and there is inore or less jealousy apparent; otherwise it would seem that they would collectively pursue the task of getting at the diagnosis of this disease. But ‘‘doc- tors will disagree,” and perhaps our equine irtends suffer in consequence longer than they otherwise would if tt were not s0. We advise concerted action among veterinarians, and think it would be proauc- live of great good at the present time. The dead animal carts have more than they can do to haul away the carcasses of horses tbat die daily of this dis- ease. At the solicitation of Mr. Henry Bertholf Mr, Wm. M. Tweed is having a very dangerous slough hole, between 142d and 143d screets, on the east side of the Eighth avenue drive, Milled up; the contractor, Mr, Crimmins, is busily engaged in the work, and will compiete it during the week. It has loog been a very «angerous place, and those who drive on the road are mach pleased that wilt be made passa- bie, as the avenue at this point is very narrow, Superiutendent R. leadbetter, of the Broad- way Railroad, has invented a substitute for the car- hook, and had it put on all the cars ot the line. It consists of a short chain attached to the whiMetree by one end and has a trian; r hand-piece at the otherend, When not in use it is suspended from a small nook attached to the dashboard. This doing away with the old hook will prevent drivers from beating their horses with it, and also any one from using 1¢ a8 4 Weapon, it murderously inclined. ‘THE GOLDEN WECKLAC:.

Revolutionary Excitement in Pa- nama at an End. The Montijo Returned to Her Owners. Decline of the Isthmus---Unsettled State of Colombia. The Panama Railroad Subvention—Proposal of the Company to Withdraw It. UNSATISFACTORY RELATIONS WITH ECUADOR Panama, June 20, 1871. The Isthmus has once more resumed its wonted quiet, All political excitement bas ior the nonce died away. The troops called into service dunng the late revolution have been disbanded and their arms disposed of, and the steamer Montijo has been returned to her rightful owners. Now that the fan- dango 1s over the more serious business of paying the expenses of the frolic comes up, and a serious business it ts indecd for the State of Panama, with her empty treasury sand mortgaged revenues. The late revolution will cost this State at least one hundred thousand dollars, without any visible benefit accruing either to indi. viduals or to the country therefrom, if weexcept the few who may have speculated in arms and soldiers’ uniforms, This enormous debt, uselessiy incurred, must be paid, and means will be found to liquidate it, thongh the government cannot afford the petty sum required salary for the teacher of a primary school or pay the paltry bills meurred each month for lighting the city with gas. To have expended one-tenth of the amount in State pablio improvements or for charitable purposes Would have been cried down as an outrage uot to be borne with; but revolutions being, an institution of the country, must be supported at any cost. ‘rhe Montijo, as aforesaid, has been returned to her owners, Messrs. Schuber & Brother, after two months’ detention in the rebel service. The ques- tion of indemnity is to be decided by arbitration, Messrs. Schuber & Brother appointing one and President Ccrreoso another. These two name a third or umpire. The entire matter has thus been taken out of the hands of the American Consul, which, on the part of the owners of the vessel, is certainly @ very prudent nove. From the State government they may recover some remuneration— be it little or much—whereas if the claim was lelt for adjustment at Bogota it would likely remain open for years, and if closed any indemnity agreed upon might be left as a grandcnila’s legacy— the present generation would never see one cent of it, The rifles, the property ora New York firm, which were consigned toa commercial house in Panama on commission, and Were appropriated by the government and used during the revolution, nave been returned to Mr. W. F. Kelly, the representative of the owners, and $5,000 paid for the use of them. ‘The arms and ammuaition of the rebels, consisting of about three hundred Remington rifles, with suitable cartridges, which were deposited with the British Consul when peace was declared, together with 600 Remington rifles purchased in New York by Mr. Losa for the use of the government and received here two steamers ago, have been sold to the same Mr. Kelly, who intends shipping the entire lot to Central America by to-aay’s steamer, destined ostensibly for Costa Rica and Salvador, but no doubt intended for Guatemala, where improved or modern arms are now much in demand, With the close of the revolution business in this city revived 4 little. ‘The last steamer from Buena- ventura brought up a large number of merchants from the intertor of Colombia, particularly trom the Valley of the Cauca, 0 purchase goods in Panama, At least one hundred thousand dollars were wanted, but, comparatively speaking, none were to be haa. ‘The stocks of the few firms remaining iu vusiness are run down so low that even a Cauca mer- chant cannot find in this city an assort ment sufficient trom which to repienisn the stock of his little viliage store, but is ovliged to forwara orders to the United States or bBurope for what he requires. A few years ago the merchants of Panama were suflicieutiy numerous and their stocks ample to supply all of Central America, but the change has been # sad one—nearly the last one of the large drv goods establishinents in this city, Furth & Co., closed its doors last month, A badly saanaged transit, enormous freigits, revolu- tions and consequent heavy taxes account jor all this, The value of property im Panama is decreasing in proportion to the decline in b rents have fallen thirty-three’ per cent : where a few years ago a store or residence could not be had tor love or money mnumerable honses now lie vacant, What the future of the Isthmus will be it is impossible to ftoretell—it is unything but promising. ‘he long-cherished hope of an interoceanic canal seems now to be ex- picded. The South American trade, as will be seen by the ieee statistics, has been diverted Irom our ratiroad. The Pacific Railroad takes the valu- abie portion of that irom California, aud the Cy tral American business, on which we now most de- pend, will take the course of Honduras and Costa Rica when the railroads im those counties are ed. ‘ finish ‘dhe following statistics, compiled from reliable data, show the rate at which the decline of the trade from the South which used to come this way has gone on.

A Ring Discovered in a Codfish in Newfound- land in Identified by ao English Family—A Wedding Ring Miraculously Recovered The Reward of the Finder. Sv. Jouns, N. F., June 19, 1871. There are over two hundred American fishing smacks engaged in the Newfoundland cod and her- Ting fisheries this season, which is over twice the number ever previously occupied in the trade of the colony. Large shoals of mackerel have reached the principal fishing stations along the adjacent coasta of Newloundiaud and Labrador, and an abundant catch is generally anticipated here. it may be remembered by the readers of the HERALD that a few months ago a story was current in the New York journals to the effect that a signet Ting, bearing the monogram *‘'P. B,,"’ had been dis- covered by a fisherman in the entralis of a codiisa caugat in Trinity Bay, N. f. ‘ne fisherman, John Poiter, kept the prize in his possession until the 1z0n inst., when he was requested in a letter from the Colonial Secretary to send or bring the ring te St. Johus, as he had received letters from a lamiy nawed Burnam, in Poole, England, saying tuat they had reason to feel certam that the ring once belonged to Pauline Burnam, whe Was one Of the several nundred passengers of the Allen steamship Angiv Saxou, which was wrecked of Cnance Cove (N. F.) in loti, the said Pauline Bur- nain being a relative of theirs. ‘The fisherman in whose possession the ring waa brought it to St. John’s and presented i6 at the Coloutal Secretary's ofice, He was requested te take a scat and wait a while, After about half an hour's delay the man of tsh was introduced to eeganty dressed get the Coionial Secretary fad seat for ou tue dsuer- man’s arrival. ‘The ring was immediately identified by Mr. Bur nam, who calied it his mother’s weading ring, which she had always worn since her martiage in Hadders- field, England, tn the yeur 1848, ‘The ring Was accordingly given up to Mr. Burnam, who rewarded the fisherman with bank notes umounung Lo jitty pounds sterling.
