FROffl SOUTH AMERICA, [Correspondence of the Philadelphia Evening Bulletin.] Buenos Atres, Dec.- 27,18G7—The melancholy annals for the past few weeks form a chapter possibly the darkest In the Elver Plate history. Cholera has swept down the river from the pestiferous quarters of the Allied army, and again settled In Buenos Ayres. For months past It was known that there were some cholera eases in this city, but since the sailing of tho French packet the mortality increased with such rapidity that the people took fright,and half the population fled to the camp; uot even during the terrible visi tation last April, when 3.000 of our fellow-citizens “were carried off, was the panic so great as it has been for the last ten days. Business may be said to be at a complete stand-still, half the population has fled, the streetßare no longer crowded, and at night the lurid flames of ten thousand fircs,lighted for the purpose of fumigation, give a lugubrious appearance to this city, otco the most famed for its salubrity. Nevertheless, the town corporation or municipality, with their characteristic Indo lence, took no adequate steps, no measures to clean the city. At ibe public cemetery coffiins, 4:00 O'Claok. ; ik-d high waiting for interment, and not cvcu bands sufficient to dig graves; the refuse from the bouses lying in boxes before the doors until a late hour; depravity, neglect and crime, nothing! short of wholesale murder, had reached its tell-; max. The people of Buenbs Ayres arose, held an indignation meeting In the plaza, and passed re-' solutions demanding the Instant and absolute re-' signation of the whole Municipal Board. The: municipality reinsed, the people pushed to the building determined to enforce their resolutions, and the board, finding they could no longor trifle with the public, resigned eh masse. Happily, owing to the courageous interference of the Gov ernor and his ministers, no violence ensued, und the people retired to their homes; but nover on any " occasion was the voice of public opinion more sacredly employed than In hurling from office those men whoso horrid negligence had reduced the city to such an appalling condition. Since the deposi tion of the board, the Government has taken the most rigorous steps; still, there is much to Ik; done; the city requires a thorough seworage, and a complete water supply. The weather lias'be come; slightly more favorable, the mortality has diminished, and we live in the hope that the ex tinction of tho municipality will prove the resur rection of tho city. The war news of the fortnight amounts to little. We have had recent advices from headquarters; the cholera has declared itself with intense viru lence in both camps, at Corrlontes and the Grand Chaco. Lopez holds out at Huiuaita, and has made no offensive move, although One is hourly expected. Recruits arrive from Brazil.by each transport, and supplies are constantly sent up from this icily. What the Allies are doing, in tend to do, will do, or can do, no one In Buenos Ayres knows, or even cares to know, it appears, as far ns we cau gather, that tho Allies have no intention whatever to attack Lopez's positions. They are strengthening their lines around Humaita by ditches, &c.y and when thoy have a disposable force at their command they intend to despatch a division to seize Asuncion, the capital of Paraguay, and destroy its splendld arsenal. , , The statb of the interior calls for no particular remarks; things are without any material change. Tho Special Commissioner appointed by tho Go verupient to proceed to Rioja to settle tho disturb ances up there, has; been obliged to return to this city, owing to the desertion at the post-houses, iind the ravages of the cholera in some of the country townß. Things are, however, much quieter than at the leaving of the French packet. If we except tho inroad ot Indians at one or two exposed points, there has been nothing in the in terior tp disturb the peace. Rosario has suffered seriously from the cholera, but now the health of the town is better, business is improving, a now Saladero has commenced working, and things are beginning to look somewhat brighter. The financial condition of onr market has been much affected by tho edict of the Montevideo Government legalizing the stoppage of specie payments. Exchange has again receded aud is now at a rate which renders specie shipments the beat remittance; the Humboldt, which left ou Friday, took .£50,000, in gold, for England, and the Halley, which leaves now, will also taken large shipment. No hopes for any amelioration in the'Monleviilean money market is entertained until one or two of the banks of" that city liquid ate. The paper emission has been excessive, and beyond all the requirements of legitimate trade and commerce. The wildest speculation has been fostered and supported by banks whose only aims seen; to have been to declare large dividends, whilst the wool market may be fairly said to cease to exist. Montevideo, during the last few years, has been progressing apace, the city is almost built anew; on every side are evidences of the roost, gigantic improvements, but the country interests are declining; tho cs/amiti business has fallen off ; sheep, cuttle and lands have depreciated, and the. exchange market, which rules the coun try, haß been so low as to cause large specie ex ports. In the provinces of Buenos Ayres and Santa Fc, much moro attention is. now paid to grain crops, and large tracts have been ploughed up. The wheat crop is splendid this year and more sufficient. . Owing to the gloomy state of things m the River Plate, we repeat our warning to those of our countrymen disposed to come out up the Plate in quest of situations. There are none, save the most'menial, offering, apd the city is full of young men looking for situations, with but verv remote chance of obtaining any. La borers and mechanics are the only eligible classes of emigration for the Pi ate at present. AMUSEMENTS. Tjik T hkatrks.— At the Arch this evening the drama Under the. Ciisli'/ht will be given.

Thorc was a very fair attendance. Hon. Morton McMiehael, Mayor of the olty, presided, and Edmund Smith, Esq., was ap pointed Secretary. The twenty-first annual report of the President and Board of Managers, for the year 1867, was read. It will bo found.in full in anotjjer portion of to-day’s Bulletin. Mr. John Derbyshire offered aßesolution ac ' < epting the report, and directing Its publication in pamphlet form. Colonel James Page said that tho policy of tho managers was so docldedly approved by tho stockholders at the last meeting, that ho did not, make any opposition. He had listened to the reading of the report, hut no person, without previous examination, can pretend to know whether the figures therein are correct, without further examination. Ho held that itis the duty of all who have agents to superin tend and supervise their doings, and the officers of the Pennsylvania Railroad , Company are merely the agents of the stockholders. He did not believe in accepting a report as soon as it was read, and ho should hover vote for the ac ceptance of any roport without Its having beon THE DAILY EVENING PHILADELPHIA, TUESDAY, FEBRUARY Ift. 1868 pitviously examined by an auditing committee. Ho hnd made so many motions to itnit effect heretofore, that lie now iutonded to leave that matter to tithei ' gentlemcu. All ho di sired was to get some information upon certain matters in the last nunaai report, and he read a statement drawing a Comparison bet ween llio annual report and other statements and ac tions of the Directors, and the repoifKtq Ulo Au ditor General, going to show that discrepancies existed. These discrepdnCies would: show that the company had been false to the State. No stockholder'deeires to be fiffso to the State,and .he thought that it was his duty to call attention to the matter. , , Mr. Derbyshire said that when he saw anything in the reports which he did not: understand, lie wintto tho office, asked 'the Secretary or Trea surer, and the desired Information has always been cheerfully given. If Col. Pag;; had done the same thing, he would have had all the explana tions be wished. ■ Mr. John M. Kcnncdy'mode an explanation as to what appeared to Col. Page to be a discrepancy in the interest account spoken of. Tluo. Cuvier, Esq., agreed with Col. Pago that it is the interest and duty of the stockholders to investigate the report, and to know who their agents are. There is a month now before the efeetion for managers. He hoped that during this interval the stockholders will go to the of fice and inquire about any matters which they may not underftand. The information will be cbcerfullv givon. They can then vote intelli gently, and after these investigations ’ they will give thepreßcnt Board of Managers a larger vote than they ever received before. ] Col. Page said that the discrepancies alluded to by him may be susceptible of explanation, but he contended that the explanation made by Mr. Kennedy did not reach the point made by him. He did uot want tho investigations to be made in the office of the Company. He thought that this long and interesting report should be carefully examined by an auditing Committee outside of the stockholders—a standing committee of intel ligent men. Mr. Solomon W. Roberts accounted for the apparent discrepancy between .the report of tho Directors and that made to the Auditor General, bvqsfating that the former was up to Doc. 31, while the latter was up to Oct. 31. Mr. Cuyler explained that a certain discrep ancy between the Treasurer’s report and the re port of tho Investigation Committee referred to by Colonel Pago, was caused by the Treasurer carrying certain-stocks and bonds on his books at cost price, while the committee pnt them down at their market value,after careful inquiry. Mr. Whitney acquiesced in the view oi Col. Pago so far as a standing audit-committee, was dtsirable, as a means of averting trouble from thoso who like Col. Page are constantly desirous of making personal inquiries concerning the affairs of the company. The resolution to aqcept the report was adopted with applause. ' „ „ . - Mr. Derbyshire offered the following; Whereas, The policy of stock dividends has again been referred to by the Board of Directors -in their annual report, as one which they would prefer to avoid if the.assont thereto could be had of the citv of Philadelphia; therefore Remitted, That tho Board of Directors be in structed to invite a conference with the Commis sioners of tho Sinking Fund of the city of Phila delphia with a view to a change in the present financial plan of periodical stock dividends. The resolution was adopted. A vote of thanks to the Mayor for presiding was unanimously adopted. The meeting then adjourned. A Handsome Imitiovkment. —Mr. Samuel M. Ht uiings, proprietor of the American Hotel, on Chestnut street, opposite Independence Hall, has just completed extensive additions to his es tablishment, which will not only furnish addi tional comforts and conveniences to the guests of the house, but will be a' great accommodation to the general public. The" most prominent fea ture of these improvements is an elegant billiard saloon—one of tho largest and finest fitted-up affairs of tho kind to be found in the Uuited States. The room is 30 feet in width by 210 in length, extending through to Minor street. The walls and ceiling are handsomely frescoed, ami the floor is covered with a costly carpet. There are sixteen of Phelan’s improved tables, arranged with sufficient space be tween them to allow players at each table to enjoy theirgame without interfering with those at the nex.t table. Over each table is a chandelier containing four burners. Well arranged skylights ■ furnish an abundance of light during the day. The entire apartment is fitted up with a high de gree of elegance. - On Chestnut street, immedi ately in front of the billiard saloon, are the res taurant, bar and cigar stand, which are also fitted up in a first-class manner. In the basement there is a hair-cutting and shaving establishment,undiu the rear of that an extensive bathing department, which will tend toeupplyagreatwantiu the lower section of the city. There are twenty-six neat and comfortable rooms 3 feet 3 inches by 7 feet 0 inches, having iu front of them a 12 lect hall ex tending the whole length of 210 feet to Minor street. These rooms are supplied with showers, and hot and cold water—the latter being-intro duced on an improved plan, so as to avoid steam ing. There an- numerous windows at tho rear ami on the side, and the light and ventilation cannot bo exceeded. The boilers for heating the water are in another building, so that in summer time these tilth rooms will be cool aud pleasant. Sir. Hculings has displayed admirable taste inthe arrangement of his new place, which those who are fond of billiards or desire lo have a good hath will duly appreciate. The new cstabllsh pient will be opened for public iuspcctiou this evening at eight o’clock.

To the Editor of the Evening Bulletin In your comments upon the hill lately introduced into the Legislature by “Mr. John Clark, of Philadel phia,” you have, unintentionally no dojibt, dono great injustice to’ that gentleman. The bill, as I happen to know;, was intended solely to eurea great evil In the rural districts, and in using the term roads— a term well understood In the coun try—Colonel Clark never imagined that It could be construed so as to apply to th a paved streets of tbe city. '/ During the last four weeks the drifting »uowa have iu many cnees So obstructed thp rwP/» fold ing io the city ns to make them impassible, and whin llic Supervisors \yere applied to remov tin; ohstruciioiis, the excuse lias been a want of au thority or funds, mud have either been compelled to open them (U theit own expense, or stay away from ’market fvlrtt their, produce. There is surely no impropriety fh asking the city authorities to clear the highways, which we, are heavily taxed to keep up. , . The difficulties that wo havo had to encounter during the late severe .weather,- would not te; tolerated for n momeut in the- built-up portions of the clly; and in the matter of roads und wnter and gas there is tbo much disposition manifested to treat tho rural Wards ns step-children. Scarcelv anv attention is paid to tho condition oi cur reads, and almost the only avenues to the citv are those of private corporauons,over which wc huvoto pay tolls, whilst ull the streets of the citv are iree. . , , Permit me to add that the gentleman who in troduced the bill in question, ic Colonel John Clark, a soldier who served gallantly (luring the whole war,—a man of great integrity of charac ter,—and who is as free from anythluglike 'rail way” or other corrupt iutluoncos as any man in the Legislature or out of it. If tho term “roads, as used in bis b 11, is too comprehensive, Colouel Clark will undoubtedly so change Its language as lo make it embrace' only what it was origi nally designed to accomplish. H. Qukun .Victoria and the Prince or Walks do not appear to be on cordial termed It has been remarked that Her Majesty has not visited the Prince, and the other day the subject was re ferred to in the official Court Circular as follows “No authority whatever has been given for tho announcement that the Queen would visit San dringham in April. It is only so far correct that Her Majesty has for the last, four years been de sirous of paying a visit to too Prince of Wales at Sandringham, but no time has ever been or is now fixed upon for It.” A Chaki.hnge—A Plain Case.—l pay One Dollar tri fall to atop any physical pain within live minutes.
