In his report of 1854 the same teacher writes “An other year’s experience confirms the “teacher more and more in his opinion thet the “phonetic system does afford to the children “great facilities for acquiring the art of reading, “and as a proof of this I would state the cheer “ing fact, that several children who entered “school last October, read in the Testament at “the examination.” (He had 78 readers and only 105 childreu on the list, but he also writes about-the attendance as follows “On looking over the diary of the school for “the year, the first thing 1 noticed is the pleas “ing fact, that in no case has the teacher been “compelled to report any child for non-attend “ance (t. m.

REVOLUTION IN PERUE: A revolution has broken out in Peru, which 1s stated to be of formidable ap pearance for the Government of Lima, On the 28th of March Colonel Pardo, the Prefect of Areguipa, aided by the chiel” oflicers of the troeps ia that city, numbering 1,900 wmen, began the move ment by a public declaration that Gene ral Peget had ceased to be chief of the Republic by his violation of the Constitu -lion and laws of the ¢ountry in having concluded a treaty in January last with the Spanish Admiral. Ail were invited to join this movement, and to place at the head of the Governmeunt the person legitimately entitied to the presidency. The port of Kslay immediately follow ed the movement, and Colonel Garnio ar rived from Areguipa and gave orders to clear the Custom house ata discount of &0 per cent. on the tariff duties. This realized 70,000 dols., and posses:zion was likewise obtained of 80,000 dols. more, sent by the Government in one of the Peruvian ships for the payment of the troops. On the Ist nlt. similar proclamation was responded to in Moquegua, and on the sth the troops of Tacua joined. Arica fell in also, and, uunder the mnfluence of Montero, two vessels of the Peruvian fleet were handed over to the newly self constituted authorities. T'he Govern ment steamer Chalaco was dispatched from Callao to Arica before the cutbreak, and it was supposed thatshe hadsided with Montero. An attempt at a rising was made at Bella Vista, near Callio, which was put down with considerable loss of life. Ou the evening of the sth Admiral Mariatequi, the naval commander of the Peravian fleet, proceeded with three fri gates to recapture Eslay and Arica, and to put down the revolution. Much anxiety existed in Lima, and ma- ST CROLX AV S, ny changes were being made. All the mitlitary and civil oflicials had been in spected and dismissed, It was said that General Costella had beea sent to the Sandwich Islauds. REVOLUTION AT PANAMA. A revolution against the State Govern ment at Panama broke out on the 9th of March. 'The Presideat Calancha aban doned his post and took refuge in the United States’ Consulate. The com mander of the national forces was arrest ed. The captain of the troops supported the Government, but neither oflicers nor men stood by him, A few soldiers were killed. It issaid to be the most peacea ble upset of a Government ever witness ed. CENTRAL AMERICA. The Congress of Nicaragua has passed a decree, conceding to those first estab lishing a m:umt'ncl’ur_\' of blankets and other similar fabries a preminm of 4 per cent. on their capital and the expeuses incurred by them 1o placiug machivery in the country, ‘The British and United States repre sentatives in Costa Rice have expressed their approbation of’ the acts of the Go vernmeut in affording an asylum to Gen eral Barrles. The city of Carmen, near Carthagena, has been destroyed by fire, excepting six houses. The loss is estimated at 3,000,000 dollars. FRANCE. On Thursday, in the Corps Legislatif, M. Thiers declared himself adverse to the unity of Italy, in which he saw danger, and no utility to IFrance. He thought the Government had set itself the follow ing problem :—¢“Towards Italy to appear willing to give that State possession of Rome, and towards others to appear to refuse this, The Pope,” continued M. Thiers, “is a poor priest having moral force, but not 300,000 men at his back. Ite 1s therefore requested to yield, but has hitherto refused. For the rest the future will speak.”” M. Thiers maintain ed that Catholicism was not an obstacle to human thongzht, and said the destruc tion of the Papal Government would fallibly bring about the establishment of national ehurches. e did not wish the Pope to reside at Paris, for then he would be too near the Tuileries. Replying to M. Thiers, M. Emile Oli vier defended the September Convention, which, he said, consolidated Italian uni ty. He censured the idea entertained by M. Thiers of an alliance with Austria, and continued—*Our most illustrious Kings opposed this alliance, which was not un counected with the misfortunes of tlie I'irst Bmpire. The principle of nation alities 1n Hungary and Venetia separates us from Austria. The September Con vention replaces the sovereignty of the Pope under normal conditions. Will the Convention destroy the temporal power of the Papacy That will depend upon the Pope. The Roman people have the right of demanding to be well governed, and to have that liberty which M. Thiers so earnestly claims for France.” HOLSTEIN. At a mectine of shipowners of Kiel, held there on Thursday, it was resolved that their vessels shioula sail under the Prassian flag. SPAIN. On Sunday, the 2nd inst., the first pub lic meeting te promote the abolition of slavery in the Spanish colonies which has ever been held in Spain assembled in the Academy of Jurisprudence at Ma drid. It was called by the recently es tablished Spanish Abolitionist Society, and was presided over by Don Antonio Maria Segovia, a member of the lower ciamber of the Cortes, and of the found ers of the society. The meeting is re ported to have been most crowded and enthusiastic, and resolations were unani mously adopted approving the estublish ment of the society, and nominating as its president Don Sebastiano Olozaga, one of the leaders of the Progressista party. A large and influential commit tee, including five vice-presidents of high standing, were elected, and the majority of the gentlemen present inseribed their names as members of the new society. THE DUCHIES. A Hamburg letter has the following “On the same day and at the moment when the Diet at Frankfort was delibe rating on the question of the Duchies, 3,000 men of Austrian infantry, belonging to Bohemian and Hungarian regiments, were silently traversing Hamburg, and going to take up their quarters at Altona. This angmentation of force is regarded here as the flrst reply of Austria to the reiterated provocations of Prussia. The latter, it 1s true, 1s not behindhand her army—as was recently announced by all the journals—will be raised to 25,000 men in the two Duchies. Half of that enormous contingent will be quartered amongst the inhabitants of Holstein, but in Schleswig the whole of the contingent ordered there will be so lodged. The Prussian anthorities have just called npon the different localities in Northern Sehies wig, and, among others, Hubye, Schubye, Siiberstetd, and Treija, to prepare lodg ings for several thousand men. The, troops about to arrive in these places ara drawn from the Rhenisli provinees; and Urassia, rightly or wrongiy. looks upon them as the best, seeing that they possess, asg 1t 1s said, the French dash. What a singular turn of events! Austria is now rezarded as the sole protectress of the Schieswig-Holstein independence! Eve ryone extols the excellent discipline of her army, the courtesy of the command ers, and their amicable relations with the population. All this is strictly true. Up to this time, the most hamble Austrian coldiers have given no cause for the slightest complaint; and the Government pays liberally for all the necessaries pro vided for them. The Prussian Adminis tration acts altogether in a contrary man ner; and the conduct of the soldiers, taken individually, is that of hirelings in the midst of a city taken by assault, At Altona, which is especially occupied by Austrian troops, the Prussians still observe a certain decorum; but at Kiel, which 1s considered as a conquered coun try, the soldiery know no bounds. Four days ago a senlinel, withoat any reason whatever, fired upon the passers-by. A very few days ago a soldier, representipg himself to be drunk, drew his sword in the street, and pointed the weapon even against one of his own officers. There was a brawl at Tivoli about a standard with German colours, which some sol diers tore from the window where it had been hoisted. *The Prussians avenge themselves for the hisses we gave them in 1848 and 1852," said a small Holstein journal, No, the soldiers do not avenge themselves, writes another~-they obey the word of command sent from Berlin. It is desired, by provoking a popular effervescence, to drive Austria intoa cor_
