There is anchorage everywhere, in as much depth of water as any one likes, on an olive color @wse, without danger of any rocks or shoals.” The harbor at the present day deserves at least a por- tion of his commendation, for the “olive color owse” is as abundant and as widely distributed as It consists chiefly of vegetable mould and @lay, but contains in addition a small proportion of ‘Various sulphides, The decomposition of these in- gredients doubtless explains the exhalation of sul- Phuretted hydrogen, which discolors the paint work ‘of vessels lying in the bay, and has, consequently, Jong been known as the ‘Callao painter.” geptible quantity of this gas is held in solution in the water, together with an excess of sulphates, CALLAO—AN UNATTRACTIVE CITY.

The majority of the pubiic buildings are unworthy ef mention; but one of. them the City Hospital, is an institution of which it is a pleasure to speak. It ‘stands in the suburbs, opposite one end of the main street; a quadrangular building, covering quite a large space of ground, and partially enclosed by an iron railing, inside of which several Peruvian sol- diers, in resplendent uniforms, mount guard. Tequest to see the padre superior was speedily fol- lowed by the appearance of that genticman—jolly, rubicund, bright-eyed and clear-voiced, evidently a thorough optimist, whose prognosis would seldom be uniavorable either in corporcal or spiritual diseases. He was an attentive and enter- taining cicerone, and secmed to take a justifiable pride in showing the systom and arrangements of the hospital. The wards are spacious, acrupulously Mean and admirably ventilated, and are presided ever by quict Sisters of Charity, whose womanly care was visible in the white bedding, snowy win- dow curtains and numerous little contrivances for the gomfort or pleasure of the patients. - They take entire charge during the absence of the visiting physicians, and administer the medicines, dispensed by one of themselves, for they have no other apothecary.

TORTOISE HUNTING, The next morning two boats went, under his pllotage, to Black Beach Bay, where we met some of his Peons, two of whom undertook to point out the locality where we would be most likely to find lizards and tortoises.

Some of them have been used a8 penal stations by the government of Ecuador, and Early on the morning of June 10 we passed Hood and Gardner isiands, and after rounding the south- ern end of Charles Island came to anchor in Post Otfice Bay, on its western side.

We lanfed on a small sandy beach, lying between in Laren c e shore im either direction, There were thou- a few small birds and several species of orthoptera hopping about among the twigs; but on this occa- sion we saw nothing of the lizards for which the islands are celebrated, nor of the tortoises from which they take thelr namg; but fifteen diferent seas of fish, obtained by hauling the seine, more than supplied the deficiency, The vegetation on this, a8 on the islands subsequently visited, was extremely Pe ular in appearance, nearly alt the b8 and vines being leafess, dead-look- ing and of a pale, sivery grey color, seeming almost packground of lava, Great cacti, resembling those of the genera cereus and opunti, are scat about singly or i pores. to the Alter dinner a smali party went over to a cove, which seemed to be a sort of rendezvous for the seals which abound on the shores.

The Galapagos form a little world in themselves, 80 entirely separate and distinct that it isevena question in tracing out the resemblances of their inhabitants whether they are more closely aliled to the animals of the. South American continent or to those of the other Pacific Islands. Professor Peer has found that, although ali the islands are of extremely recent origin, there is much in- equality in their ages, and that they seem to show the effect of a succession of more aid more recent agencies down to the present day. The period since their upheaval and overflow has been so short that on many of them, particularly the western- most of the group, the lava has not yet had time to become decomposed or disintegrated by climatic infuences and is utterly an completely destitute of vegetation, The Western Islands are also legs abraded and water worn than those further to the east, and several other facts indicated to the Professor their greater youthfulness, As M Darwin himself wrote after his visit in 18—:— ing every height crowned with its crater and the bondaries of most of the lava streams still distinct, we are led to believe that within a period geologi- cally recent the unbroken ocean was here spread out, Hence both in space and time we seem tobe brought somewhat near to that great fact—that mystery of mysteries—the first appearance of new beings on this earth.” The hypothesis that their characteristic Inhabi- tants were brought or transferred from the shores of the continent, or that in some past time there was an intervening or connecting tract of land, would involve the supposition that their ancestors from those localities had become extinct in the same short space of time, which would be improbable were one species alone concerned, and which is almost beyoud the bounds of credulity when their number and variety are remembered. On the other hand, taking for example the two most prominent animals, we should have to suppose that the iguana of Central America and the tortoise of Florida and our Southerp States have become transformed in the same limited interval to the amblyrbyneus and testudo nigra of the Galapagos. ‘These arguments have not the merit of novelty, for deep sea dredgings and other investigations have shown the fallacy of many modes of computa- tion of ge ical time; but they are possibly new as regards this special fastance, and, consequently, not unworthy of consideration, In one of tlie quar- ter-deck lectures—which have been such an agree- able feature during our voyage—Professor Agassiz briefly discussed these matters, alluding, in 80 do- ing, to the impossibility of visiting the Galapagos— or, ‘indecd, of approuching any scientific subject at the present day—without thinking of Mr. Darwin; and sincerely and heartily e og izing that gentile.

At the dark end the upper board looks darkest; at the white end, the lower board, being seen through A ‘greater depth of ‘water, looks darkest, and, of course, at some intermediate division the two boards appear to be of the same shade. At that point the relative whiteness of the boards is pes umf @ measure of the percentage of light absorbed by going down and up again through the distance separating them. This relative whiteness is readily estimated at night in the cabin by placing the boards at unequal distances from a candle so as to make them o! the same apparent shade at the given point of the scale. The comparative illuminating power is plainly as the squares of their distances from the light. The mean of seven observations about the Gala- peace gave a transparency slightly above that of jarbados, but neither set of observations is suficiently accurate to justify any stress being laid upon this comparison. Dr. Hill considers bi! apparatus and method of measurement to be still in a crude form, and capa- ble of much improvement, but they are based upon @ sound principle, and will give valuable results in time. Having 0! ascertained what percentage of light ce through a fathom, it can easily be calcn- lated into the proportion of daylight which reaches any given depth in the gea, Supposing, for ex- ample, that one-half the light penetrates one fathom, then one-quarter goes down two fathoms, one-eighth three fathoms, one-thousandth ten fathoms, one-milhonth twenty fathoms, and so on indefinitely. ea ‘other observations made during the cruise, those relative to the variations in the mag- netism of the vessel have been of great interest and of much practical value. We are indebted for these to Lieutenant M. 8.

A more serious ichthyologica) trouble was the necessity to which we were reduced for a snort time of varying our daily diet with different aquatic birds, over which, had it not been for the ae of our caterer, we might have exclaimed with Mercutio, “O flesh, flesh, how art thou fishified !”’ but none of these little annoyances were of long duration, and we anchored safely in Panama Bay on the after- noon of the 25th, finding there the United States steamer California, the flagship of the Pacitic squadron. MADAME PESCHKA-LEUTNER, There was a much larger audience at the Academy of Music last evening, on the occasion of the second appearance In New York of this eminent artist... It would be diMcult to name another vocalist who has visited America for many years, possesed of such phenomenal qualities of voice. She has cer- tainly all the elements of popularity necessary to make @ manager's fortune, and he who secures her for one season here may be considered lucky. To the critic, many of these elements of opularity appear only senaational and not always fr accordance with the true principles of art. Mad- ame Peschka-Leutner fails tito the same error as Wachtel did by introducing unnecessarily some ex- ceptionally high note on every occasion and by a too prodigal use of her marvellous lung power. When will German musicians, vocalists or instrumental. ists ever feel that the most essential element of tone is not quantity, but quality? The fact that they draw down the louse cannot be ac- counted a sufficient reason for the violation of the principles of art. Madame Leutner sang last night the aria, ‘“‘Ernani Involami” to the end of the andante movement, and as a cabaletta she gave “Non qui Sogno,” from “I Lombardi,” a liberty taken with the nc of rather questionable taste. + The “Ernani’ cabaletta is more in con- sonance with the preceding andante than anythin; else that could be introduced by an exccntant, thundering recall brought out the bolero from “The Sicilian Vespers,” which she invested with char- acteristic brilliancy, dash and finish. ‘The Peschka Polka Bravura,"’ i) aay specially for her, gave her a good opportunity to cimpiay all the pyrotech- nical qualities of her voice. Her reception was en- thusiastic in the extreme.
