It is a seaport, and is situated on the Bay of Guajara, at the mouth of tho estuary of the Rio Pari 1t bas a population of about 35,000, about one-ninth of whom sro slaves. Franciseo Cal- which was begun in 1616. In the Empiro of Brazi! Para ranks asthe fourth city-in commercial import- ance, It is remarkable for the magniticence of its numerous public edifices, among which the cathedral chureh of Sao Joao Baptista and the Governor's palace are most celebrated. The dwellings are principally built of stone and are neat and handsome in appear- ance. The streets, though laid out with geometric regularity, are ill-paved and miry, There is a new and an old city, the former being shaded by palms and mangaburas, which line the long thoroughfares. ‘The buildings and every inhabi- tant, when out of doors, are, during the warm season, discolored by the red dust which tho prevailing high winds sweep from the suriace of the street and drive through the air. There are several torts in the harbor which, although deep enough for all vessels, 1s diffi- cult of access, Pari is surrounded bya fertile coun- try, which yields abundant crops. India rubber to the value >f $6,000,000 is exported annually. Its imports during each year amount to about $5,000,000, Itis Predicted that Para will becqme, in a few years, the principal commercial city in Northern Brazil, Nino lines of steamers ply fortnightly between it and the Upper Amazon, and two lines of steamships call monthly from Europe and one on the voyage to and from New York, Para can boast of beneficent public institutions, among which are an extensive library and reading toom, a botanic garden, a university and lyceum, nu- merous public schools, half a dozen banks and a the- atre. The climate is not unhealthy, although certain mal- | adies, it is said, are induced by use of the water of the city wells, THE YELLOW FEVER AT RIO.

Loxpox, April 5, 1876, The Times this morning, referring to the case of Winslow, says:—‘‘After two months from the date of his committal Winsiow will be entitled to his dis- barge, unless the judges hold that the events which have occurred constitute sufficient caase to the con- trary within the meaning of the twelfth section of the Extradition act. Whether Winslow is to be given up or not must depend upon whetber the United States government will or can arrange to. restrict tho charge upon which he 13 tried 80 as to satisfy the Extradition act. Wo can have no wish to give shelter to American criminals, but of courso our low must be obeyed by our own Exocu- tive, and strong grounds would havo to be shown be- fore we should alter our law on a point where it bas been solemnly reeognizea by many treatics, The truth isour Extradition Treaty with the United States is very insufficient. Negotiations have long been go- ing on for its improvement, and it is to be hoped that the present complication will hasten this. Megswhile it will be remembered that all wo ask is reciprocity; for already, by our own act, we could not try an Eng- lish forger surrendered by the United States except for an extradition crime which might be proved by facts established In Amerita.
