{Correspondence of the New York Times.)
PANA3IA,. Friday, Jan. 12, 1866.—0 n the
18th of November, Mr. Clark, United' States
Consul at Valparaiso, visited the flag ship
Villa de Madrid, to remonstrate with Ad
miral Pareja against tome onerous rule he
had established in relation to the blockade
of Chiller). ports. After a very long inter
view the Admiral declined at that - titne to
accede to the Consul's wishes, but at last
gave him some hopes that he would do so at
a later period, and another interview was
fixed for the 30th of the same month. As
Consul was on the point of leaving, the Ad
iniral asked him for the news on shore. The
Consul replied that there was nothing, save
the perturbation that the capture of the
Spanish gunboat Covadonga, and the send
ing of the crew Eta priioners to Santiago had"
caused. Pareja, who was ignorant of this
misfortune to his arms up to this time,
listened to Mr. Clark's recital of the facts
with a great deal of astonishment, and was
much excited.
On the 30th the Consul 'returned to the
Villa de Madrid, and at once perceived that
something had gone wrong on board. On
inquiring for the Admiral, be was told that
be was very sick and could not be seen,
upon which Mr. Clark immediately retired.
It is reported that after Mr. Clark left the
frigate scarcely a word could be elicited
from the Admiral; that a few hours later he
had a cerebral attack and fell upon the deck,
uttering imprecations that were supposed
to be directed against the commander of the
Covadonga. From that moment the Admi
ral seemed to have completely lost his mind,
and on the same day the 28th November, or
the day after, he committed suicide by
blowing out his brains with a pistol.
One report is that the Admiral loaded a re
volver, and going on deck, discharged all
the barrels but one at some birds on the
brig, leaving one charge in the pistol ; that
he went to his cabin, and with the remain
ing charge effected his own death. Other
stories run that he left a note, in which he
declared his course in Chili would force his
government either to retire him in disgrace
or to commence a war which he much
feared would not be successful; that he or
dered his officers to sink his body in the
sea, but outside of Chilian waters. Still
another story is current that when the
frigate left 'Valparaiso which she did for
the Peruvian coast on ?..he 30th, she went to
pack his body in guano and to ship it to
Spain.
• Capt. Castro Mendez Nunez, of the iron
clad Numancia, succeeds Admiral Pareja
temporarily in the command of the fleet.
It is supposed here that the news of the
death of Pareja was sent to Spain by the
British steam-packet that left Aspinwall for
Southampton, on the 22d December.
Nothing was known of the death of Pareja
at Valparaiso on the 16th December, and
only the tittle I give had leaked out at Lima
on the 27th of December. A good many
persons here believe the whole story to be a
hoax, but the majority are convinced to the
contrary.
The Contercio, of Lima, of Dec. 24. gives
the following account of the suicide of the
Spanish Admiral in the harbor of Valpa
raiso, on the 29th of November:
On the 23th, the American Consul at
Valparaiso went on board the Villa de
de Madrid for the purpose of seeing the Ad
miral. Both had a long interview about
some matters connected with the blockade,
Pareja showed himself rather favorable to
the Consul's demand, and told him at the
,close of the conference to come back two
:days afterward. When the Consul was on
!I he point of leaving, Pareja asked him for
~ w s on shore; the Consul answered there
was nothing of great importance, except
,the excitement caused by the capture of the
'coy adonga and the sending of the prisoners
to Santiago.
The Spanish Admiral was entirely ig
norant of this event, and this first intima
tion was a great shock to him. He asked
for the particulars, which were given him
by the Consul, who then took his departure.
Accordingly to what had been agreed upon
he returned on tha 30th to the flagship,
whore he found the crew in the greatest dis
order and consternation. He asked for the
Admiral, but received the answer that the
latter was very sick and he could not see
him. Thereupon the Consul retired.
The news which Pareja had received
from the American Consul had deeply
afflicted him. His mind was so occupied
with it that he hardly ever afterward spoke
a word. It is further stated that some hours
afterward his brain became affected and he
fell down on deck, muttering curses on
those who so easily had surrendered to the
Chilian arms. It is supposed that he became
entirely out of his mind, in which' state he
probably committed the dreadful deed.
About the manner in which the act was
accomplished we know only from priVate
sources, although on good uthoriiy, that on
the afternoon of that fa day Pareja had
come up on deck after ' er with his of
ficers; he bad a revolver his hand, with
which he shot two birds on the wing, he
as i
then went down to his bin, and, shortly
afterward a shot was h .On somebody
rushing in, the Admiral was found dead,
and on the table a lette , in which, it is
stated,Pareja said that as he commander of
the Covadonga had not had courage enough
to do his duty, sohe (Pareja) had not enough
to survive the diagrace pf his flag," and
finished with the wish that his body might
not be buried in Chiliar soil or Chilian
waters.
In compliance with thi- last request, we
further understand, Parej 's body was put
up in guano on board one •fthe Spanish, or,
as others say, a French ship, to be sent
home.
Els successor, - till the pleasure of his
pivernment is known, will be the Captain
of,the Numancia, Commodore Castro Men
dez Nunbz."

The blockade of the ports of Tomb and
Ttdcahuano has been raised. The vessel
stationed at these ports has been ordered to
Valparaiso. The news of the triumph of,
the revolution in Peru and the ignominious
overthrow of Pezet and hisparty evidently
has sadly disconcerted the p). of Pareja.
The government by every means tries to
to help trade and relieve the troubles which
have been laid on commerce by the act of
Spain. •

had been made against his life by his politi

has published a circular directing vigilance
to be used by all officials on his route to Bo

brings a statue in bronze of Christopher
COlurnbus, presented him by the Emperor
Napolebn. It will be placed at Aspinwall,

We are enahled to lay before our readers
the following extracts from a letter written
on the Wyoming, now in the E'st India
Squadron :
UNITED STATES STRA MEP. WYOMING, SIN
GAPORE, Oct. 1865.—1 wrote to you
from Cape Town, or rather Simon's Bay,
and gave you all the news so barren a field
could furnish, and this is the first place of
any importance that we have been in since.
We stopped at the Mauritius for five days,
for coal, on our way here, and at Point de
Celle, Ceylon. for the same purpose. Mau
ritius is a very dull, quiet and pretty little
place—the prettiest we have seen since we
left Rio. It has a nice little theatre, and as
I usual, a great number of hotels. The last
seem to be very plentiful in all these Eastern
places. I found the grave df Paul and Vir
ginia to be a myth, and would not advise
travelers to seek for it. The most remarka
ble thing out here is, that there are no re
spectable public buildings the energies of
the people seem to be directed exclusively to
hotel building and keeping. In the middle
of the principal street of Mauritius—or Port
Louis, as properly it is called—stands au
immense banyan tree, with I don't know
how many branches and trunks. It is the .
greatest curiosity I saw there.
We had a very delightful passage to Galle.
a fitir wind nearly all the way. We steamed
and sailed all the 'way, an unusual thing for
us to do. Galle has not a single:interesting
thing in it, but its history is typical of the
changes of power in the East. First held by
the rtuguese, then by the Dutch, and last
by the English, under whose rule it has im
proved very much. The English are good
colonizers, I must admit, though they are
the worst of friends. The harbor there is
miserable. The southwest Monsoons drive
a heavy swell right into the harbor, causing
vessels to roll incessantly. As soon as our
anchor was down, we were: boarded by a
crowd of natives, having jewels to sell. I
bought four opals 'and four rubies for two
shillings; they turned out to be very pretty
pieces of glass, and not worth a penny. I
shall preserve them as spechnens of Ceylon
villainy. We were glad enough to leave
Valle and get nearer our destination, and to
mails from home. After entering the straits
we stopped at Penang for aStraits pilot. I
did not go ashore there, on`r stay was so
short. We sailed the day 'after for this
place, and raced all the way i down with an
English opium steamer. We beat her at
first, but our fireman gave out, owing to the
excessive heat, and she beat t s into port.
We arrived here on the 2oth of Septem
ber, and were very warmly greeted by the
few Americans in the place; and as coldly
by the English. Singapore is the most cos
mopolitan place I have ever; seen. Every
nation under the sun has a_foothold here,
and all appear to flourish. ays, Klings,
Madras, Siamese, and the regular John
Chinaman, predominate. Europeans, as a
matter of course, are the rulers. The port
does not belong to the English ; they pay
a rent of a hundred thousand pounds a
year to the native Rajah for the privilege of
ruling, and they allow him to float a small
navy to , keep down the native; pirates, who,
even to this day, give muchtrouble. The
city , itself lies very low, but back of it is a
high range.of hills, among which nearly all
of the Europeans reside. On the highest
hill, immediately . overlooking the city,. the
English have an immense fort, well garri
soned, for keeping the natives in awe. Eng
lish rule here is very tolerant and fostering,
and proportionately popular. The natives
are an unruly set, continually conspiring,in
a small way,one tribe against the other. The
city is clean but excessively hot, the ther
mometer averaging about 88°1 all the year
round. But, notwitstanding the heat, it is
the healthiest place in the East. The streets
are very narrow and lined with little shops,
all of which are kept by Chinese, the greatest
race of merchants, and the most uncompro
mising scoundrels in the world. The
Klings and Malays are thedrivers and boat
men. I.wish I could give you an idea of
the Chinese boats—Sampans, they call them.
Wyomln.4
They have the most expert oarsmen, who
would put to the blush some of our profes
sionals at home. They have large lighters,
of from ten to twelve tons, which they propel
by means of an oar fitting in a row lock in
the stern, sculling, we call it. By this one
oar they can drive their lighters, deeply
loaded, five or six knots an hour. From
two to eight men work the oar. On the bows
of their boats they have an eye, painted ac
cording $o their old superstition which they
explain iirt their language, which is called
" pigeon English," "No have eye how can
see ? No can see, how can do ?" lam pick
ing up a little of this mellifluous tongue and
fully expect to become quite expert in it
before we reach China. Ridingand driving
are very cheap here. There are about two
thousand little single horse hacks—in the
vernacular," Guru," which you can hire for
a whole day and until late at night, for a
dollar. Nearly all the drivers are filings,
and in cases of emergency they do as much
work, as the horses. The latter are very
small ponies, but of wonderful bottom and
strength.
The finest building here is an Episcopal
Church, St. Andrew's, built by the convicts.
It is of Gothic architecture and very pretty.
I went there one morning, but the droning
of the clergyman and the movements of the
punkahs put me to sleep before the sermon.
These punkahs are immense fans suspended
from the ceiling, and worked by coolies.
The effect is, of course, very pleasant and
cooling.
It has been a matter for remark to all of
us, how very inefficient our consuls are,
and how low a social position they seem to
occupy. It is extremely mortifying to hear
at one place that our consul is an "old
grailny;"•at another that he is a miserable
drunken sot, and at another that he is too
great a coward to display our national colors
upon our national holiday.
All of the English that we have met since
we left home have been just barely civil
and nothing more. They show their enmity
to us in every covert way. They refuse to
read articles in our papers justifying the
course of our government during the war,
and are disgusted at our believing the
stories about the ill-treatment of our
soldiers while prisoners of the rebels. They
cry out against the idea of executing Jeff.
Davis, and think he should be released
from confinement unconditionally. Their
provincial papers are full of articles upon
what they call the anarchy now ruling in
the 'United States.. The principal causes of
their animosity may be ascribed to the fact
of the ascendency our merchants and mer
chantmen were rapidly acquiring in the
East Indies. Since the advent here of
Semmes, our interests have most materially
sufered, which fact, has given the English
and others great cause for rejoicing. I
think that we can:very easily regain our
ascendency, by a display of our usual
energy. Nearly all the American ships here
are under English colors, and as they can
never again carry our flag, we shall have
to build an almost entirely new merchant
marine. If our merchants could only be
persuaded to build steam vessels for the
trans-Pacific trade, this matter wouid be
easily accomplished.
Oct. 22th. Wednesday next is our sailing
day now. None of us know where we are
going, but I suppose to Batavia.
AUDACIOUS ROBBERY.
870,000 Stolen of a Bank Messenger
[From to-bay's N. Y. Tribune.]
One of the boldest robberies that has come
under our notice recently occurred on Fri
day morning at 9 o'clock, on the corner of
Beekman and William streets, in the pre
sence of large numbers of street passengers,
and almost under the very noses of the police
authorities themselves.
At that hour the messenger of the Far
mers' and Citizen's Bank of Brooklyn,a lad
by the name of Samuel Terry, was proceed
ing to the Park Bank (Beekman street, near
Nassau street,) with a package containing
the regular exchanges of the two houses.
This package was stated by the officers of
the Park Bank to have contained about
$70,000--ft,ooo of which were secured by
duplicate checks, but this has since proved
to be a misstatement.
According to the statement of the mes
senger, while he was passing the corner of
Beekman and William streets, at 9 o'clock.
yesterday morning, two men in a wagon
suddenly halted at his side. One of them
sprang out, struck him a stunning blow in
the face, at the same time menacing him
w ith a pistol, the muzzle of which he clapped
against his breast. In another instant the
precious package was snatched from the
band of the bewildered messenger. The
man leaped back into the wagon with his
prize, his comrade applied the whip vigor
ously, and the daring robbers were out of
sight before their victim had recovered from
his surprise and terror, which were so great
as to prevent him from making the slightest
outcry.
A crowd collected immediately afterward,
and the intelligence of the affair created
considerable commotion in the street, but
the thieves were off. The boy at once went
to the Police Station, only half a block from
the scene of theft, and told his story as well
as his confusion would permit.
The above account is the substance of
what he said; and though wearing an air of
improbability at the first, there can be but
little question of its truth. The amount
stolen is variously stated. One of the
officers of the Bank to which the messenger
belongs stated at the Police Station that the
package contained $ll,OOO in currency and
$70,000 in checks; but the cashier of the
same bank subsequently modified the
amount in checks to $7,000, instead of $70,-
000. The latter' statement is correct, mak
ing the amount stolen $lB,OOO.
The police were notified of the theft so
soon after its occurrence, and have since
acted so earnestly in the matter, that the
robbers will probably soon be arrested, and
the stolen funds recovered.
A reward of $l,OOO has been offered by the
Bank authorities for the arrestof the thieves
and the recovery of the property.
ON TUESDAY last, two men who were
opening shells which they had picked up
from the James river, at Richmond, where
they had been thrown by tl, e military for
safety, were blown to pieces by the sudden
discharge of one of the missiles.
IT APPEARS that 514 emigrant passenger
vessels arrived at New York during the
past year, carrying 200,031 passengers. In
1864 the number of emigrants landed" at
Castle Garden was 182,916.
THE Battle of New Orleans was cele
brated in that city on the Sth inst., without
the"ling of a single gun, for the simple
reason that not apiece of ordnance could be
had in or about the city. ,
EIGHT thousand dollars have been raised
by the young men of Troy, N. Y., for , the
erection of a hall for the Young Men'sAsso
elation of that city.

New Jersey Matters.
Tn E CornTs.—The following criminal
cases, not heretofore reported, have been
disposed of in the Camden county court:
Ferdinand Mickey, pleaded guilty to hav
ing obtained money under false pretence;
collecting for a fire company, and appro
priating it to his own use. David Davis
and Benjamin Cavanaugh. assault and
battery on Robert Bassett, guilty. George
Miller, breaking and entering store of
Hugh Grenin, guilty. Levi Caulk, selling
liquor on Sunday, guilty. Jesse Peterson.
assault and battery on George McKenna,
guilty. John Farley, assault and battery
on John E. King, guilty. Alonzo Brown'
and Charles Hetzler, passing counterfeit
money, guilty. George W. Hames, bigamy,
guilty. Howard Sharp, assault and battery
on C. A. Robinson, guilty.
HORRIBLE TRAVELING.—The roads lead
ing to Camden are in such a condition as
to render traveling extremely unpleasant.
The long interval of thawing weather,added
to the large quantity of snow, is making
"lob-lolly of our roads, and our streets
are equally uncomfortable to pedestrians.
Much of this inconvenience might be
avoided in Camden, lithe gutters were kept
open. Many are very prompt to clear off
their pavements, but imprudently leave the
whole contents piled over the gutter. They
could adopt no surer method of flooding
their cellars with water.
THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS.—Miss Sydney L.
Anderson, first assistant in the male depart
ment of the North Ward School, and Miss
Clementine Collett, assistant in the Central
School, have resigned, and Miss S. J. Rud
derow has been promoted. Misses Roberts
and Whippey have each been promoted one
grade, and Misses Rachel De Warr and
Annie Wescott appointed to 1111 vacancies
caused by resignations. The schools are all
a
in a prosperous condition, and are well
managed.
STATE NORMAL SCHOOL,—The next term
of the State Normal School, of New Jersey,
at Trenton, will commence on the sth of.
February. There is a model school con
nected with this institution, all of-which are
under the superintendence of Prof. John
Hart, formerly of the High School of Philo
delphia. -
