Salaverny, who commanded the garrison of Callao, instigated the troops declare against the government at Lima, and, on the following day, took possession of the city, declaring himself preme chief of the republic. The acting president with about 200 troops, under the command of Genl. Nicockoretired a few hours before towards Pasco. The measures adopted by Salaverny are very arbitrary. Large sums have been raised by forced loans, and delinquents are prisoned until their quotas are paid.

Many of the citizens are secreted and many fled from the -we have never seen more alarm caused by any of the numerous revolutions to which we have been exposed. Men and cattle daily impressed into the service of the new government, and business is entirely suspended, many of the stores ing closed. Until it be known what assistance may afforded to Salaverny by the troops in the interior, we can form no opinion of the result of his movements; but seems to be generally supposed that he will not be able sustain himself, and that he will soon have to retire again to the castles at Callao. In the mean time we shall recommend to our friends in Valparaiso to send us no vessels goods until further notice. Since the revolution we have not sold, nor have we heard of the sale of a single package of dry goods.

Plain cottons have been of very dull sale. English, German and French goods are very abundant. Quicksilver is declining, and was our intercourse open with the interior it would not sell at $70, now there are no offers for it. We know of no article that would now sell well were we in a quiet state. In the present situation of the sales cannot be made at any price.

Several country sels are reloading their goods which had been landed, and others leaving without leaving a package. N. Y. Gaz. Bloody Attempt al Insurrection.

-Extract of a letter, published in the Boston Transcript of last Friday, dated St. Michaels, Azores, April 24. An extraordinary episode in our history has just occurred here. Yesterday, a state prisoner by the name of Forjach, and about 18 others, in irons in the castle, and under sentence of death, having well matured their plot, suddenly rose upon their guards, overpowered the garrison, raised the drawbridge, and hoisted Don Miguel's flag. They fired upon every person within reach of their guns, and was feared would fire upon the town.

The Miguelites are numerous in the country, and it was supposed they had connection with them. The Governor was some absent, hut three vessels were sent immediately to Terceira for troops. The whole town was in arms, not knowing what the men who had possession might do. About 3 o'clock this morning, however, apprehending want of food, or despairing of any succor, they attempted to escape into the country; but volunteers being on the alert, with fowling pieces and such arms as they could muster, poured upon them a deadly fire, which killed the chief of the conspirators, and drove nine others into St. Francis' Square, where they were shot.

I have just returned thence, having seen seventeen bodies lying dead there. The city is again quiet, and we hope that the event will be attended with good results. Six or more heads will be sent to different villages, terrorem. 10 o'clock, P. men who had been put into prison, were made this evening to cut off the heads of seven and the hands of one of the conspirators, and afterwards carry the bodies and throw them in the ditch which being done, three of the four were then cruelly despatched, and thrown into the ditch other escaped, through the mediation of a soldier.

This atrocious and lawless act finds no justification in the public ferment, but the shades of night have screened the perpetrators. GATHERINGS. Mr. Joseph Ripka of Philadelphia has a flourishing plantation of 10 acres of mulberry trees on the Point no Point road, and will cheerfully give information of his mode of cultivating them to all who may visit the establishment. Miraculous -A son of Jacob Van Clief 6 years old, fell into a well at Tompkinsville, Staten Island through the door of the casing of the well.

The well was 40 feet deep, with 12 feet water into it. A rope was thrown 0 him, which he made fast to his body, and was hauled up uninjured. Daily Advertiser Jersey City Ferry. -The night boat on this ferry commenced running last evening. The inhabitants of Jersey City testified their gratification on the occasion by the dis.

charge of cannon and firing of rockets during the evening. The proprietors of the ferry will ere long find their in having acceeded to the wishes of the citizens of Bergen account county as well as those of Newark and Paterson, to whom a night ferry will prove a great accommodation. N. York: Gar. The trade on the canal to and from Newark is rapidly increasing.

It appears by the statements of the arrivals and departures, during the week ending the 3d 86 boats arrived at Newark loaded and 64 with with coal, produce, merchandize, During the same period, there departed 39 boats laden with merchandize, 96 coal boats in ballast. N. Jersey Get, The times are completely out of joint. The carpenters, bricklayers, masons, plasterers, cordwainers, coal-heavers, and even the hod-carriers, have struck. Our streets and squares are crowded with an idle population.

Some manifestations of violence have already taken place; and if the difference be not accommodated, the excitement will probably be increased. Our buildings are at a stand; and business generally is considerably impeded. Phila. Gar. Rhode-Island Silk.

and Eve. Ster. Ship The two persons formerly belonging to the Mentor, New-Bedford, who recently returned from Lord North's Island, state that their four companions left on that inhospitable spot about three years previous, are all deadowing to the ill-treatment and barbarity of the natives. There are four or five hundred savages on the Island, who exercised every species of cruelty towards these unfortunate men -the survivors. having but barely escaped with their lives.

The I Island is represented as sterile and able in the extreme, Instructions have been given for the next U. 1 S. vessel returning from the Pacific to touch at the Pelew Islands, for the purpose of taking off any part of the Mentor's crew, or other Americans, who may be found there. It is barely possible that one boat's crew from that ship may have reached those Islands. Nantucket Inq.

Shipwreck and loss of The schr. Parrot, of this port, (says the Ashtabula, (Ohio) Sentinel,) of about 20 tons burthen, left this harbor at 11 o'clock, on the evening of the 19th for Detroit, since which time nothing has been seen or heard of her, and it is supposed she upset in a violent squall which came up a few hours after she left port, and sunk with all on board. The persons on board were Thomas Booth, captain, James Parish, and George Sherherd, hands, all of this town. Col. William Humphrey, of this village, who freighted the vessel, and William Leach, of this town, and Brainard, of New- York, passengers.

The Parrot was loaded with iron, glass and whiskey, with a deck load of live hogs, -most of the hogs came ashore the next day, fifteen of them alive. The false keel, small boat, and Col. Humphrey's trunk, have also been found on the shore, a little below this place. Col. Humphrey was one of our most industrious and enterprising citizens, and his loss will be severely felt.

Juvenile boys, whose names we suppress, the sons of wealthy parents, at Troy, were entrusted by Mr. Brown, (of the firm of Brown Jones of this city) while in Troy, to put a letter in the Post Office there for Mr. Jones of N. containing $250. Instead of doing this, they ran off to this city, and having spent nearly money, they shipped on board a European packet as sailor boys, and on the eve of departure when Bow1e yer fortunately arrested them and yesterday took them back to their friends at Troy, who are very rich, and who have paid the $250.

Courier. From the Mediterranean. papers to April 23d, received at Hudson's news room, state, that a heavy gale commenced on the 18th of April, which lasted three days, and did much damage. The U. S.

ship John Adams parted two cables, but brought up with the third anchor. The Delaware lost one anchor. The Potomac broke the flukes of both anchors, put to sea, and had not returned or been heard of on the 24th. We find by the Gibraltar Chronicle of the 15th of April, that the whole of the American squadron arrived there the day before, all 25 days passage from Mahon. The U.S.

Numerous resolutions were passed, and among them the following: Resolved, That the formidable aspect of the office-holders at the Baltimore Convention, is not deemed sufficient reason to cause supineness in the Whigs of the United States, but on the contrary indicative of a growing corruption and abuse of power, and calls loudly on us for a firm and unflinching resistance.

Just n8 they had finished the inhuman butchery of 97 unoffending individuals, and in the act of hurrying more into eternity, Father Corrin humanely rushed upon the bridge, and at the risk of his own life saved those on their knees ready to be piked, and prevented the further effusion of innocent blood.

This change is required the Union Such aspersions we trust will never more be applied to our citizens, who are now evincing a laudable share of intelligence and enterprize. It is to meet the present as well as the prospective requirements of our situation, that we now propose to issue the Star twice a week.

Our columns are indeed burdened with advertisements, which are a profitable branch of our business; and these cannot appear without encroaching on the space which we would assign to the general reader.

SPOONER. not merely increasing interests of Brooklyn, but of LONG-ISLAND generally. The Star has always met a friendly reception from the farmers of this island, and the editor does not doubt that they will view in the progress of trade, intercourse, agriculture, science and morals, a sufficient cause for a corresponding increase in the means of information.

It is but a few years since the mail went through LongIsland but once a week and the stages for passengers were only covered market wagons. Now there are numerous elegant lines of stages going daily to the nearer villages, and three times a week to the eastern extremity of the Island. The rail-road to Jamaica is in rapid progress, and the great Long-Island rail-road is no longer a matter of doubt Under these views, our Long- Island friends are at length wide awake. It is no longer a common remark, that Long-Island is fifty years behind the rest of City Map.
