From South America.
NEW Yowl, May 9.—The steamship New
York has arrived, with Aspinwall advices
of May 2d. She brings the California mails
of April 19th. Panama advices state that
the news from South America is unimpor
tant, matters having remained perfectly
quiet since the bombardment of Valparaiso.
All the Spanish fleet except the Berenguela,
had sailed for northern ports. Nothing
had been heard of the Huescar and Inde
pendencia: and the Peruvian sloops, Union
and America, had sailed towards the straits
of Magellan to meet them.
- The Danish Consul General had sent a
note to the Spanish Admiral, saying that
his government would hold Spain responsi
ble for damage to Danish property in Val
paraiso. The Admiral refused to receive
the note. The bark Clara Rosalie had been
burned by the officers of the Berengulla.
Immediately after the bombardment the
English Minister was requested to vacate
the premises occupied by him, and no one
will rent him another house. His name
has also been stricken - from the list of mem
bers of the club "de la Union." Only two
lives were lost and eight persons wounded
during the bombardment. Several churches
were destroyed, and 151 goVernment stores
valued at $500,000, and upwards of 68,000,!
000 worth of foreign merchandise. ;$540,-
000 will repair all the damage to the public
edifices, whilst the bulk of the loss will fall
on foreigners. At Callao preparations were
actively making for the reception of the
Spanish fleet by the fortifications.
Intelligence from Barbacoas mines con
tinues unfavorable, most of the miners
being sick and discouraged at the prospects.
General Mosquera thee new President of
New Grenada, is on his way to Aspinwall
in the new war steamer Columbia, the first
the Government ever owned. It is thought
the capitol will be removed from Bogota to
Panama. It is reported that the Hamburg
brig Sirius bound from Aspinwall to Santa
Martha, was wrecked on the Roncader reef.
Much complaint is made of the detention
of goods from Europe and the States to
Panama, by the Panama Railroad Super
,intendent.

THE DEERING TRAGEDY.
The Death Warrant of Probst
Received.
THE TIME FOR THE EXECUTION.
The Document Bead to the Prisoner.
His Demeanor.
The:death warrant of the murderer Probst
was received from Harrisburg, by Sheriff
Howell, this morning. It is in the usual
form of a recital of the crime for which the
condemned is to suffer death, with a state
ment of the time of conviction, ezz. FRI
DAY THE BTH DAY OF JUNE, BETWEEN
THE HOURS OF TEN O'CLOCK A. M. AND
THREE P. M., WAS NAMED AS THE TIME
OF EXECUTION.
At eleven o'clock Sheriff Howell, *mom
panied by'Enoeh Taylor, Esq., his principal
deputy, Hon. Charles Gilpin, his solicitor,
and two representatives of the newspaper
press, proceeded to the county prison for the
purpose of reading the paper to the doomed
man.
The prisoner was occupied in religious
services at the time of the arrival of the
Sheriff. After a little delay the latter and
his party were admitted to the cell of Probst.
The latter was found sitting upon his bed
leaning back against the wall with his left
ankle chained to the floor in the usual way.
The only person in the cell with the pri
soner at the time was an assistant Priest
from the Roman Catholic Church of St.
Philip, who was in official attendance upon
the condemned man.
Mr. Perkins, the ;Superintendent of the
prison, led the way into the cell, and intro
duced Sheriff Howell to Probst. The Sheriff
took a seat, and after inquiring of the pris
oner concerning his health, to which he re
ceived a response that he (Probst) "felt
pretty well," he proceeded to perform the
duty m band.
The Sheriff, remarked that he had received
the death warrant of the prisoner from Har
risburg, and that he would now proceed to
perform the painful duty of reading it.
While all present were uncovered, and all
except Probst remained standing, the docu
ment was read in a clear and distinct voice
by the Sheriff.
We watched the condemned man closely
during the reading of the paper. He pre
sented much the same appearance that dis
tinguished him during the trial. His eyes
were fixed upon the ground, there was a
suppressed heaving of the chest, the eyes
became slightly suffused when the time
fixed for the execution was named, and at
the close of the reading the prisoner bowed
his head twice, as if in submission to his
fate.
The Sheriff then asked Probst if he under
stood that Friday, the Bth day of June, was
the time fixed for his execution. He replied
briefly "Yes." The Sheriff then added that
he hoped he would make good use of the
time still left him on earth to prepare him
self for the dread event. To this the pri
soner merely bowed his head in acqules
cenee.
The reverend gentleman who was pre
sent then remarked that the prisoner ad
mitted the justice of the punishment which
he was to meet. He had oommitted a crime
of great atrocity, and he felt that the only
atonement he could make for it would be
the laying down of his own life. He was
ready to die.
The priest also said that Probst had de
clared himself easier in his mind since he
bad confessed the whole truth in regard to
his crimes.
In reply to questions put to the prisoner,he
said he was twenty-four years and four
months old, and that he had first landed in
the United States on the 9th of May, 1863,
exactly three years ago. What an anni
versary!
Upon a question to that effect being pro
pounded to the prisoner,ilie latter declared
that he did not desire the attendance of any
professed religious persons except the cler
gymen whom he has already indicated.
This question was put in consequence of the
great number of applications of religious
persons to visit him. This decision of the
condemned man's settles the question of
their rejection for the future.
The Sheriff and his party soon after left
the cell, and the wretched criminal was left
alone with his spiritual adviser.

.There was not so much spirit at the Stock Board
this morning, and the bulls, notwithstanding the
abundahce and cheapness of money, have a hard task
to keep up a respectable show of activity or firmness
in the`speculative shares. The recent "cornering" pro
cess has tended to cause distrust in the reports of the
transactions, and the sales from day to day are mostly
among the brokers, the outside public keeping aloof.
There is no abatement in the demand for the better
class of investment securities, and Government Loans
are held with more confidence than ever. The closing
Otiotations were 109(4)1094 for the Coupon Sixes, '81;
1023.1 for the Five-Twenties; and 1020102;4 for the
Seven•Thirtles. State Fives were firm at 88, and the
/War Loan at 101. The fancies moved rather sluggishly,
and will be likely to recede unless there is some acces

WASHINGTON, May 9.—lt is given out to
day by one of the President's advisers that
the veto on the Colorado bill is being pre
pared. The principal ground of objection
is insufficiency of inhabitants.
There is no serious objection to Mr.
McCulloch's new loan bill. It will be re
ported to the Senate in a few days.
To the surprise of everybody here, the Re
publican members from Philadelphia, with
the exception of Judge Kelley, are working
for the confirmation of Mr. Sloanaker.
There is sufficient strength in the House
in favor of the League Island, so that as
soon as it is reached it will pass that body.

The President, to-day, by appointment,
gave an audidnce to the delegates of the
General Conference of the Methodist Pro
testant Church, now in session in George
town. North Carolina, Alabama, Virginia,
Maryland, the District of Columbia, only
were represented, it having been said that
these appointed from the other Southern
States had not the means to pay the ex
penses of travel hither.
The presiding officer of the Conference in
troduced the delegates severally to the Pre
sident, remarking that they had, by a reso
lution unanimously adopted, come to pay
their respects to him. Alluding to the fiery
ordeal through which the Southern people
had passed, he said he need not remind the
President of the difficulties which environed
them, and the poverty with which they were
suffering. To this might be )ascribed the
small number of ministers and lay dele
gates present at the Conference. He might
continue his remarks, but feared to
trespass on the President'sindulgence. He,
however, prayed that the blessing of Al
mighty God may rest upon the President,
and that the Lord would give him the re
quisite wisdom and strength to perform his
important duties. To this the brethren re
sponded with an emphatic "Amen."
The President thanked the delegates sin
cerely for the compliment which they had
paid'him by this visit. He trusted that the
prayer they had offered would
be heard and answered by the
power to which it was addressed,
and that all honest efforts of the Conference
would be crowned with success. He hoped
the day was not distant when peace and
prosperity, would be restored to an undi
vided country.

•A resolution was adopted to print 5,000 copies of the

The House resolution appointing a oommtssonerittO

The bill to prevent the introduction of cholera was

Mr. Bice (Mass.) from the Committee on Naval
Affairs, asked the unanimous consent of the House to
report a bill to allow to Vice Admiral Farragnt a Sec
retary, with the rank, sea pay and allowances of a
Lieutenant of the Navy. He explained the necessity
of It, saying that that eminent and conspicuous [officer
bad no staff, and bad to attend personally to all his
correspondence, although his eyesight had became
very much impaired,
Unanimous consent was given, and the bill was re
ported and passed.
Mr. Wilson (Iowa), from the Committee on the Ju

passed.
The House 'proceeded to the consideration of the spe
cial order, being the Constitutional amendment re
ported from the Reconstruction Committee.
Mr. Broomall (Pa.) addressed the House in support
of the amendmentiproposed.
P esaid it was to be; expected thatthe joint resolution
would receive opposition and denunciation from the
"unrepentant thirty-three." It was therefore useless
to waste argument upon them. It was also to be ex
pected that the six Johnsonian new converts to Be
mocracy would vote againstthe measure, commencing
with the gentleman from New York, (Mr. Raymond')
and ending with the gentleman from Kentucky, (Mr-
Smith,) who had the disease in its mildest and moat
amiable form,
On them, too, argument was useless. There must,
therefore,be thirty-nine votes against the measure,and
be w,anted that there should be no more. 'So far from
treatkin being made odious, it was the most popalar
institution of the South.. Treason has been made popu
lar there and loyalty bad been made odious.
The loyal man in the South was compelled by public
opinion there. fostered and encouraged by the Admin
istration, to stand aside. Probst was to be banged and
Alexander pl. Stephens, one of the chief conspirators,
was to have a seat in the United states Senate.
What a mockery was this? The time would Come
when the poor miserable Dutchman would come to
the Eame bar with the Vice, President who aided in
murdering 290,000, and then these things would be
made all even.
He believed there was a necessity for a future
world. in order that the immense inequalities of the
present world might be rectified.
Mr. Shanklin (Sy.) next took the floor in opposition
to the measure.

WEST PITILADELPIIIA.—The morning,
over the river, opened a very grey pair of eyes, and
wore something like a frown on her bi ow. The breeze
was quick, and came in gusts, with every promise, of
rain. A little of the aqueous element would do a great
deal good itt that semi-granitic, sere i-gravelly soil,
which absorbs water like a sponge. The reads are
very, very dusty, and obliterate, even a patent leather
in creasing from one aide of a street to another We
found this to our cos , . in our visit to the police station.
where we found nothing, or little more than nothing to
compensate us for our labor- Only three cases. A.
woman named Mary - Welsh had been guilty of'con
tempt of court," but apologized, and was discharged.
A fellow yclept "John Mcgrath, one of the tTecies of
highway gamblers, was fused Zs, and "Seems 'Jordan
banded over E 3 for indulging in the "cratnr." Jordan
bad, a "bard road to travel," bat he faced the music
like a man. •
Te Almshouse is again on the increase. There
were 19 admissions yesterday-9 male, 10 female;
births, 2 mortality, 1—

selves, in the usual run•a-way fashion. The census
this morning was 3.014; last year, 2,s4—increase, 467„,
yesterday it was 458.
We are happy to record the entire disappearance of

ready to take wing. They were quite merry this morn
ing and yesterday- One could hear their laugh at the
distance of half a square. .

the premises there was a dog pit—a one-storywooden
structure, about 15 by 30 feet. The place is somewhat
isolated from otter places, and pickets are generally
thrown out so as to guard atminst a surprise by the
police. The corsequence is that the frequenters alwara
bave notice of tbe approach of' the officers before the
latter get within three squares of the place;
Yesterday the visit of the police was attended
with some suc ce ss. A fight for - e.Y . O a side
between two dogs called "Bounce and Bruce." which

ing through a bark partition. The prisoners had a
hearing before Aid. Clouds. this morning. and were
