From the Panama Echo. April 10. Intereatlug DtecoTerjr at Old Panama or Ro man lolni Nearly 1,000 Yean* Old. It will bo remembered that in the Daily Echo, of . March », a short paragraph announced tho discovery of an earthenware vessel containing copper coins, at Old Panama. Yesterday we were favored with a carefUl inspection of these relics of old times by Dr. Antbenrelth, of this olty, Into whoso possession they have now come. Not professing to be a numlsmatologlst, wo are or coarse tumble to retd and interpret the inscriptions, botitla evident that they are all of Roman origin, many of them containing, quite legibly, the names of MaarainUB, Diocletian, and Constantine. By this, therefore, we hare a cine to their date. Who tho Maximluns was, we are not able to determine, as there were many Emperors of that name In the third and fourth century: but from being associated with tho coins of Diocletian, it is perhaps possible thal he was the one who ruled Jointly with that Emperor be tween the years A, D. 284 and 305. Diocletian Is well known as one of the most violent persecutors of the early Christians. u Dioclstlan’s fiery sword Worked huiy as tbo lightning j then waa Alban tried England'a first martyr.’* Constantine is remarkable as having been pro claimed Emperor at York In 300, by the Roman le gions In Britain: and though this title was not con firmed to him, ne was placed in full authority over Gaul, Spain and Britain. After having defeated nil the other aspirants for the throne, he at last became sole Emperor of the Roman Empire, and in 323 em braced Christianity, and removed the seat of govern ment from Rome to Constantinople. The coins of these three Emperors aro well known to antiquarians In Europe, and are constantly found at all the old Roman stations, and sometimes in con siderable quantities. The most interesting question is, how they found their way to Old Panama 7 Per haps some adventurer from 8pain brought them over with him—some old antiquarian, who carried witli him to the now world theso relics of the old. Did they ever foil into the hands of the buccaneers, who, finding them to be neither gold uor sliver, threw them away In disgust? or did the owner, valueing them more than the riches that surrounded him, hide them in the ground from the grasp of the plundorere? Theso questions —* — j| *“ f swered. Theso are, wo believe, tho first Roman coins ever discovered npon the continent of America, and ns . such, and from the locality in which tboy have been - y will r brought to light, they will doubtless possess muoh in terest In tho eyes of those carious in such matters, although their intrinsic value is probably not worth more than that of the old copper they contain. Death of Professor Farrar. John Farrar, LL. D.. late Hollis Pro feasor of Math ematics in Harvard University, died at his residence in Cambridge, on Sunday last, tho 8th inst., aged 73. His funeral took place yesterday morning. Professor Farrar was a native of Lincoln, Maas. He graduated at Harvard College just fifty years since next com mencement, and after bolding the office of Tutor for two years, was appointed to the Chair of Mathematics and Natural Philosophy in 1807, which ho filled witli distinguished ability and success for twenty-nine years. In 1830 he resigned his Professorship on ac- count of declining health, and since that time, for the most part, had been a martyr to a protracted and ex cruciating form of paralytic disease. His influence in tho University gave a new impulse to the study of mathematical science in this country. lie was one of the first to introduce the writings of the higher . French mathematicians as college text-books. His Bcienliflo contributions to the periodicals of the day are remarkable for their lucidity and terseness of Btylo, and for the glowing outhuslasrn with which they present the resalts of exact investigation in a popular form. As a teacher, both in tho recitation- room and the lectnre-room, be was perhaps uncoual- ed among his contemporaries. He communicated Uls own zeal for knowledge to the most indifferent pnpil. had the good fortune to enjoy Ula instructions. Fuw teachers havo ever been bo successful, not only in winning tho personal regard of their pupils, but in awakening an interest In their favorite science, in all the relations of private life, Professor Farrar was a model of excellence. His uniform suavity of dispo sition, his rare conversational powers, his affluent out pouring of anecdote and description, and tbo extent and variety of bis information, perpetually culled forth the admiration of a deeply attached circle of friends. Tho invalid state In which ho was placed for more than fifteen years, seldom impaired his in terest in the progress of science and tho events of the day, and never alloyed tho sweetness and patience with which he endured a series of extraordinary suf ferings. His memory will bo chariahed with grateful respect by the friends of good learning, and tho ad mirers of private worth—JV. Y. Tribune, 12th inst. The Bourbon—Fresh Evidence. A correspendont of the Courrierdcs Etats Unis has been at some pains to refuto and discredit the in genuity of Rev. Mr. Hanson. His latest stroke, and apparently a mortal one, appeared yesterday in the form of an affidavit from the mother of Mr. Williams, attesting the non-regal nativity of the child/ Tho fol lowing is the document: State of New York, Franklin county, ss.—Person ally appeared before me, tho undersigned, one of tho Justices of the Peace in and for Baid county, Mary Ann Williams, being duly sworn, deposes and says, that sho is upwards of eighty years of ago, but does not know her exact age ; that she is the widow of Thomas Williams; and that she is the natural moth er of Rev.

Circuit Court.—Thursday.—Before Judge Nelson—Heavy Damages—Amos Wade vs. Jacob R. LeRoy and Henry E.Picrpont*— This was an action to recover damages, laid at $25,000, for inlnrics sus tained by the plaintiff In consequence of tho alleged Aogllgence of oertain employees of the defendants, Who are the owners ofthe Brooklyn ferry-boat Gou>- anus. It appeared that in the month of December, 1852, the plaintiff was a passenger on board the Gow- anus on a voyage from Brooklyn to New York. As the boat was coming Into the slip on this side, a col lision occurred between tbat boat and the steamboat Union, when a ring attached to a chain broke, and a piece of tbs the Iron missile flew against the bead of the plaintiff, jnfltotlng one very dangerons wound— The plaintiff is a well known citizen of North Caroli na, and has experienced great physical pain and dis tress from tho injuries np to the present time. On the part of the dafenoo it was set up that tho boat navigated by a good and oxporionced pilot, and that the accident originated from causes beyond the con trol of the defendants or their employees.

Cour. The Georgian and the People of Florida. We dip the following sentonce from the Jaokion* vlllo Republican,of May 12th t "Th* Georgian, which mini to be the oriels of time patriotic Ftortdlant, a short time sloes declared that from Its own knowledge nine-tenths of tho oitlsens of Middle Florida were desirous of Joining themselves to Georgia, and present indications certainly give some credibility to the assertion." Now we don’t anpposo tho editor of the Republican intended to make a false statement, but wo do suppose that in his efforts to mako out n strong caso against opponents, he was much more indifferent as to the truth at falsity of his statements that was creditable to him or Just tons. He has published what is not troo—what Is very far front boing true. The Geor gian has never declared that "from its own knowledge nine-tenths of tho citizens of Middle Florida were desirous of joiutug themselves to Georgia.’’ Wo may have stated it as our belief that a majority of tho peo- plo of Middle Florida, If tho question were brought to a vote, would pronounce lu favor of.unitlug with Georgia. Yet even that opinion Is Ukely enough to have been erroneous :—at any rato It was very harm less, as thoro la no probability that tho subject will be seriously agitated. As to tho patriotism of the Middle Floridians, whom the Jacksonville editor would blast by his terrific taunts and snecra, we ven ture to say, though it is no business of ours, that they are quite rb patriotic as their censor. They have lived qulto as long in Florida os ho, and havo quite as deep an interest In her wcllfaro. Such men asCAll and Bkooue and McGkmee and Shine, the Bay levs nnd Walksus—trusted members of both parties—uniting upon what seems to them tho most feasible schemo ol developing the resources of their State by supplying her with valuable internal im provements—can veTy well afford to disregard tho im* poteut raviugs of their assailant. However, it is not our province to defend them— oven if they were in danger. We have only noticed tbo attack because the Georgian was attempted to be used as one of the weapons of assault. Colonization Sleeting. We have been requested to direct the attention of our city subscribers to tbo mooting in behalf of the Colonization Society, which is to coma off to-night at the Lecture Room of the Independent Presbyterian Church. Judge Wayne, of tho Supremo Court of the United States, will preside on the occasion. An ad dress will bo delivered by Rev. Mr. Gurley, Agent ofthe Society, nnd by, perhaps, other gentlemen. The question of African colonization, or to speak more definitely, tho question of the removal of free blacks from the United States to Africa, is one very well worthy the attention of tho people of tho South. In Virginia it has, for years, enlisted deep iuterest— her leading men having lent- all the weight of their names and influence to the nld of tho Colonization Society. That Stuto has made provision by which a fund ol fifty thousand dollars is annually to be de voted to the removal of her free blacks, os will bo seen from the subjoined paragraph: “The Virginia Legislature, at ito late session, passed a law appropriating thirty thousand dollar* per annum for five rear*, and placing under the control of the board, in addition, the amount rained by the tax upon freo colored persons, nnd the sum received for Issuing tholr registers, both of which aums,it is computed, will eoual ten thousand dollars nnnually. And the board In authorized to receive donations. The raoner at the dinpo.nl of the board in to bo employed to aid tho Colonization Society in trnniporting free pornonl of color to Africa and nubnlntlng thorn there for a limited time. Tho Uovomor ban lately appointed, ns the members of tho board, Poachy R. Urattan, Thos. II. Ellin, John 0. Stegcr,and John Howard, Fnqn.” We hope the meeting lo-nlght will he fully at* tended. President Nott and Union Collcgei Some time Bince it was indicated in the public prints, that President Nott, of Union College, Schenectady, had been founu to be a defaulter ia the College funds to a very largo amount. Wo kept a careful watch for further intelligence relative to a charge so serious against a man for so many years ofthe most eminent character, and standing, at tho head of one of old est and most exalted institutions or learning or our country, but were unablo" to learn anything further, except tho announcement that he had boon succeed ed by Chancellor Walworth, long known ns nn able jurist and profound scholar. Wo now see that nt a meeting of the Board of Trustees, held on tho 27th ult., tho following communication was submitted to its consideration by President Nott, viz : 3b the Board of Trustees of Union College ? Gentlemen—I havo received such strongand repeated ex pressions of the confidence ofthe n<uvr<l of Trustees, tn re aped tn the manner in which, under their appointment, I havo conducted tho fiscal affairs of tho institution for more than thirty years, tiiatl have nothing to dcsiro in that sped. The persevering e(Torts, however, which have been recent ly made In other quarters, to inculpate me. nnd to cast cen sure on the Hoard, and the question* which hnvo been rais ed aa to the legal Tights of the Hoard and myself respective ly. mako it my outy. as it I* my pleasure, to say. that I hbpo the Trustees will neglect no inruns or asserting their strident legal rights, and securing their entire interests In their behalf, I shall, ns soon aa It onu bo conveniently done, ho anxious to obtain from a legal tribunal aucli a thorough scrutiny of all the transaction* in which I have been engaged a* your agent, and such authoritative interpretation or tho rights and duties pertaining respectively to tho Hoard and my self a* shall conclusively settle doubt*, and vindicate truth and Juittico. In tbo meantime. I trust that tho Trustee* will tako such measures as in their wlsdow may seem meet to have their interests properly represented before the Committee which 1ms been recently appointed by tho Senate of tht* Stale to investigate tho financial condition of the College. Hie per sonal responsibility springing out ofony relation to that in quiry, It will be my duty to provide for. I have only to add, that I am. gentlemen, with groat es teem and respect. Yours, Ac . Eupimirr Nott. SatKNBCTAPT, April 27,1853. After tho reading of the above communication, In justice to the course of conduct that hns governed the President relatlvo to the fiscal concerns of the college, and in view, also, of tho recent unexampled efforts which have been made to influence public opinion, by circulating, in tho form of authoritative and final decisions, mere exparte statements, alike injurious *o tho Collego and himself, the following resolution was unanimously passed by the Board of Trustees, viz: Resolml. That nothing ha* occurred to Impair tho confi dence of the Trustees, heretofore so often expressed, in the zeal, disinterestedness, integrity and signal devotion of tho President in discharging the difficult and oppressive duties witli which, as the lineal agent of Union College, ho has been charged fur more than, thirty years. Thus tho matter ia placed in its correct light be fore the world. Wo cannot for a moment suppose that ono whose wholo life thus far lias been devoted to every good work elevating to human character, will bo found wanting in anything pertaining to his official relationship with au institution for tho advance ment and welfare of which his best days havo been devoted. Unitarian* In the West. A Unitarian conference assembled at St. Louis on the 29th ult., and adjourned on tho 2d inst. Its ses sion was full of interest, composed as it was of repre sentatives from all tho western churches of tho de nomination. The Association was formed ayeur ago at Cincinnati, and consists of nineteen churches; forty-nlue delegates being present at tho Conference. Rev. Wu. G. Elliott, of St. Louis, presided. Among tho plans of action discussed and previously adopted, are the distribution off Tracts, Missions, aid to strag gling societies, and to young men preparing for tho ministry. A book depository has been established in Cincinnati, where will be kept a supply of Unitarian literature and theology of all departments. At the recent session tho following preamble and resolution were adopted: A* there Is a misunderstanding of the views of Unitarian Christians on Important subjects, it is deemed proper to make some declaration in reference thereto: Resolved, That we regard Jesus Christ not a* a more in spired man, but as the Hon of God— tho messenger of tho Father to men, mlraculouHly sent—tho mediator between God and man—the Redeemer of the world ; and that we re gard the miracles of the Now Testamonr as fads on which the Gospel Is based. The churches generally throughout tho West, of this denomination, are In a most flourishing condi tion In all respects, and under the care of an able and devoted clergy. The Rev. Mr. Elliott, who presided on tho abovo occasion, is a gentleman of eminent character and pioty.nnd has built up a largo church and congregation in St. I^uto. He may al most be considered tho pioneer of tho Unitarian faith In tho Valley of the Mississippi, though yet a young man. t Railroad Jubiler at Columbus.—Wo are reques ted to announce that the train of cars from this city for Columbus, on Thursday morning, will Icavo the . depot at 5 o’clock, precisely. Those Intending to par ticipate in tho festivities of tho occasion will plcoso take notice and govern themselves accordingly. Complimentary—-The Oglethorpo Infantry, of Augusta, whose recent visit to this city and Charles ton has been duly chronicled, at a called meeting, on the 8th inst., at their.drill room, passed a series of .complimentary resolutions expresaivo ofthe pleasure enjoyed from tbo courtesies showered upon them on every hand, from their departure till their return home. The manner and terms employed conclusively prove that the corps are no lea* wanting In true gen* Unmanly characteristics than la soldiery discipline— May the Madly feeling inspired on all sides continue to increase. ■--"’W ,4- * _>/ WrWiUy tock'woyda the astonishment we feel at the mash of f produced by merely four Instruments—rival ling, as they do, In power and varied instrumental effect*, the performance of V largo and complete or chestra. Theso effect* are to be mainly ascribed to the Pbysharmonlca, at whTch Htau Kxrbsxn pre- aides, and nnder whose touch are produood the tones of the various orchestral wind Instruments, from the shrill plcoole to the deep, and sonorous tones of the Fagotto and Trombone. Tbst splendid (and probably tho best) creation of the fertile genius of Rossini— the ovorture to " William Tell ’’—was given ia a style that left nothing to wish for. Cho same terms of admiration wilt serve for all, as this one pioce was but a typo of the wholo. Of the performers, we are compelled to placo Hum Ahrend in tho foremoat rank, as wo aro satisfied that his talents would placo him in that position amongst tho best violoncellists known. Herb Kantbut’s per formance is characterized by correctness, neatness of execution, and purity of tono and intonation. Ukhk Gundlauh, ably supports his position at tbo piano forte. Hum Klein is ono of the best and purest tenon that we havo heard, and his wffilo style evin ces tho experienced artist. Herb Kbbssrn's arr|nge- ment of tho various concerted pieces shows tho finish ed musician, whilst hto performance on the Phys- harmonica, Btamps him in addition as a practical, aa well os theoretical one. In conclusion, we would say, that all who have any tasto for tho concord of awcet sounds, should not fail to secure the opportunity now afforded them of ono of the richest musical treats ever presented to us. Tim Norwalk Catastrophe.—Among the most painful incidents connected with this sad aflhir, is tho death of Mrs. J. M.

Ono of whom was shot, another drowned, another was run over by a railway car, anil now the remains of another still, has been brought from tho wreck of the disaster at Norwalk, for burial by the Bide of her brothers and sisters who were sud denly called away before her. Truly “ In the mulit of life we are in death.’’ A moat noble and praiseworthy caso of perseverance is presented in tho restoration of the daughter of Rev. Rufus W. Griswold, soon after the accident, by Mr. Lynus Benedict, a stage driver, who continued his efforts threo hours after the medical gentlemen had declared restoration impossible, and tho body had been placed among tho dead. Hopes aro entertained of the recovery of tho young lady. The wholo number of deaths ascertained to have resulted from the catastrophe is forty-five. Of this number, nine resided in Now York city, five in other parts of tho State, and twenty-four in New England. There are included two clergymen, eight physicians, Bixteon women and two children.

From Palestine, wo learn tliat tbo details of tho af fray on Palm Sunduy, in tho Church of tiic Holy Sc- pukhro, are said to be these. Tho English Missiona ries were turned out of tho Church, nocaused they behaved in au unseemly manner when the procession of tho Host passed on Good Friday. A missionary named Crawford preached a sermon outsido the Syn agogue, while service was going on within, nud in dulged in invectives against the Talmud. Ono of the children of Israel, Incensed at this, hurled a dead cat in tho face of the reverend gentleman. Mr. Craw ford's friends camo to the rescue, tho Jews supported tho defender of tho Mosaic rites, and a light ensued. “ It rained mud and rocks,” a letter describing it says, nud tho missionary and bis friends were obliged to teek safety in flight. Advices from Australia were of a favorable charac ter. Tho yield of gold was, on an average, satisfac tory. The dates from Van Diemen’s Land were to Janun- rv 8th. They were awaiting tho determination of the British Government respecting transportation. Her Majesty, Queen Victoria, upon receiving tho news of the melancholy hceldont which resulted in the loss of President Pierce's only son, personally wrote a letter to Mr. Ingeraol, in condolence for the Bad affliction tho President bad sustained. From tlio N. 0. Crescent, 13th. Tlic News Items from Mexico. By the arrival of the mail steamship Texas Wed- neiuay night, wo wore placed in possession of papers from the city of Moxico os late as the 4th inst.; but, owing to the lnteuess ofthe hour, the publication of the news by this arrival was deferred until the present time. The following is a general summary : The journals now published in the. capital aro the Univoraal, Government paper, Slnglo, opposition : Orden, ministerial ; Omnibus, politicsvoz de hi Religion, religious ; Espnngnol, Spanish organ, and the Trait d'Unlon, French paper. The new law of tho press, which was promulgated on the 29th ult., is tho general subject of conversa tion. Several of the papers have tho following paragraph relative to the Sloo contract and tho neutrality trea ty: *• Wo learn that the present Government lias ex amined tho expediente (papers) relating to the Sloo Compauy and the neutrality treaty ratified by Gen. Loinuardinl. Both acts havo received the approba tion of Gen. Santa Anna, who bus directed tins fact to bo communicated to our Minister at Washington.” Tho new Government has ratified the treaty of neu trality in relation to tho road across the Isthmus of Tehuantepec, which, says the Trail d' Union, only requires now tbo sanction of tbo Senate at Washing ton. Tho Legislature of Tnmaulipas have issued a de cree protesting that the State will bo governed by its own laws and constitution until the Federal Consti tution ho revised by a competent Congress. Tno difficulties in tho State of Chiapas are not yet settled. On tho 10th of March, two hundred insur gents, under tiic command of one l’cnclnno Solorza- no, attacked tho capital of the Stntc. Tho troops of the government defended it and routed the insurgents. Santa Anna mado his public entry into tbo Capital on tho 20th April. He was r cc-lveu witli demonstra tions of great enthusiasm. Military salutes were fired ami arches were erected for ills reception. His car riage waa dragged by tho populace to tho puluce.— He was uccompunied by u large number of tho most prominent personages of tiic Republic, who bud gone to meet him ut the village of Guadalupe. At the palace, Santa Anna took tbo following oath, administered to him by tho President of the Supreme Court of Justice: *• I, Antonio Lopez do Santa Anna, swear to God that I will defend tho independence and integrity of the Mexican territory, and promote the welfare and prosperity of the nation, in conformity with the basis adopted by the plan of Jalisco, und tho agreement made on the Gtb of February last in this city by the united forces." Saute Anna being too nnwell to deliver bia addrcaa, it was rend by Don Jose Miguel Arroyo. After the reading of tho address, tho following Cabinet was sworn lu : Don Lucas Alaman, Minister of Foreign Affairs ; Tcodosio Laves,Minister of Juatico; Antonio Haro y Taincrcz, Minister of the Treasury ; Jose Maria Tor- nel. Minister of War. On the 22d, Santa Anna issued ft decree, in which he toys tho foundation of tho Administration until the promulgation of the Constitution. The decree to divided into threo sections. Tiic first treats of tbo Supreme Government, and establishes five ministers; foreign affairs, homo, justice. ecclcHsiastical, and pub lic education, fomento, colonization, and commercial; war and navy; Unauccs, A procurailor-gcncra! of the nation is to be appoint ed for tlio examination of law points, and tbo expe ditious disposition of cases before tlio courts.

We havo Panama papers to the 3d Instant, by the Philadelphia. The town of Gorgona was almost entirely destroyed by o fire, which broke out about 3 o’clock on tho mor ning of tlio 20th ult., in tbo transportation store of Wllfaccy & Co. All tiic hotels, transportation offices and stores have been entirely destroyed,and the losses will fall heavi ly npon tho proprietors. Mr. Camrnbi, who had, on the day before, purchased ono of tho hotels, to a heavy loser. Mr. H. Howard, Mr. Taber and others, have suffered considerably. We presume that busi ness will now be removed to Croces, as the seuson has so far advanced, as soon to render tbo Cruces road preferablo for travelers. It to a most fortunate cir cumstance that tho fire did not take place on tho pro* viouejiight, as the hotels were crowded with tho El Dorado's passengers, and tlio transportation offices filled with valuablo express freight nnd baggage. Mr. Howard was tbo heaviest snffercr, bis loss be ing about $8000. It to said tliat tbo fire was set by n Curthagenian, to destroy a young man who slept in the store, and of whom ho was jealous, the young man being intimate with his wife. Lola Montes was at Panama on her way to Califor nia. Col. TooornnL by whoso coolness and intrepidity the citizens of Valparaiso were saved from pillage and outrage during the insurrection at that place on the 28th October, 1851, had arrived at Panama, and was received with marked attentions. The object of his visit to not stated. T Mrs. Hunt, of Northampton, who was taken to the Brattieboro Insane Asylum, and afterwards removed on tbo supposition that she bad recovered.

She imagines that sho bolds immediate communication with God, and rofusea to egt because she says He feeds her with spiritual food. Her case is a Bad one,-and is the result ofthe impious and disgusting." spiritual ” delusions! which aro now being widely promulgated by restless and designing rims," and ruining the .ignorant and the wwfc or Ban Domingo toasonaoor uiasttuavion of that government. In ito edltorfel r* the constitution, as prescribed by law, was dteo by Santana before the national Congress, and thereto- iterated hi* re fowl, it tho same timo stigmatizing tbo constitution as a cursed and heretical pnc. and declaring he would exllo himself rather than submit to tiie President’* exigency. , Santana, M a good, wise, and patriotiochieftain, as bo Is, very politely baudod to tho roousnnt prelate uls passport, and, with a generosity which does him ft Issued on the same day a decree commanding Ministers of War and Marino to placo at his Grace’s disposal a national vessel, and also directing the Minister ortho Treasury to hand to his Graco the bnndsomo viaticum of four thousand dollars. But the good son of the Church, having before bis eyes the fate of hi* brother of New Grauoda, recently oxiled under somewhat slmlltorclroumsteuces, began to relent in his resoluteness,and finally wrote to Pres- IduntSautana.atatlngtbathe was willing to retract from tho position he had taken, aud would on a cer tain specified day tako tlio prescribed oath of fealty to that constitution which but a slnglo week boforo he lmd characterized as erased and heretical.

Our cor respondent, however, fills up tbo void thus left, and states that there was a conspiracy on foot, between tlio last President Dnoz, and tho clergy, to surrender tho liberties or the country to Franco. Tho existence of thto oonBpiracy fully accounts for tho seizure intended by tlio French of the Peninsula of Samana, in October last, which enterprise was given up in consequence perhaps of tho determined stand made against it by tbo American press, in pub lishing nnd denouncing tho wholo schemo, and which wasnUeinpted to be expinined awoy ns u simple pot ting iu of tho fleet to relit.* It also accounts for the subsequent visit of tlio Spanish war steamer Isabel Ciitolica, to the port of San Domingo, currying Sonor Toriento ns an envoy from the Cnptaln-Gencral of CuIhi to President Baez ; nnd by it is likewise easily explained tlio policy adopted by Baez in revoking the promises bold out to colonists, and supposing the in tended sclicmo or American emigration, got un by Gen.

Tbo Star gives the following summary of her news: Bolivia and Peru.— It is feared fbat these two Re publics were about to commence hostilities with each other.

Tlio damage done to buildings nt Onlvcstnn, by tho storm of the 2d last., was not so great as was nt first supposed, the principal loss being tiic unroofing of Mr. St. Cyr s large brick store, and consequent dam age to goods.
