' [Correspondence'Baltimore Sun.\ Wasiunoton, April 20.?It ia well settled by this time that tho President's peace proclamation does not remove'martini law; Judge Fowle, of the S tato Court of North Carolina, in the recent ap Slloation to-him for habeas corpus in the caae of lajor Gee," whose trial is progressing bsfore a military court, was disposed to infer (hat tho. Pre sident's proclamation was intended to restore to the people of tno State ail the beneflta of tho civil law as in the time of peace. But to avoid a con flict between the civil authorities of the State and the military authorities of the United ?tales, the Judgo deferred a decision till the 20th of this month,.by which timo tho preciso meaning Of ' the proclamation would be ascertained. Judge Fowle, And all' other judges of. civil cour ta, know that the proclamation does not dispense with martial law. > The asoiBion of Judge Trigg, at Memphis, in a caao involving the authority.of bureau courts, as sumodthat if such courts h?d jurisdl?tloh to the extent claimed, it must IxV under military power., Ih'o noceaaity and .excuse for the exercise of whioh h^d ceased with the cessation of tho War, which had been declared by the President in his proclamation. Tho Jddge will probably find that the powers ?f tho bujroau courts are not suspended by the pro clamation, though the wording of the order on this subject is rather doubtful. - It ist how certain that Congress will refuse to comply with the recommendation from the Poat maator-Oenoral and tho Secretary of tho Treasury, of a modi?oation of the test oath in reference to employees of th?se departments in tho eleven State! lately rebellious, so as to enable the de partments to obtain the services of suitable men. Tho Judiciary Committee of the House have do ; oided against any change of, tho law on the sub ject. The Sonate has adopted an amendment to an appropriation bill providing that no money mall be paid, under the aotjto any person who has not taken the test path. Thus it is made cer tain that the majority now in power in Congress intend to compel all who were lately in rebellion to forswear themselves, or to or?ate in the lately rebel States a large body of loyal office-holdere out of such material as can bo brought from other States.. It may bo surmised, however, that the laudable and in no-wise malicious design is tc overcome the difficulty.by selecting freeumen'foi all the o filo es which are t? be filled in the posta and'revenuo service in th? eleveb Southern States. ?FPBOPBIATIO:! lULLfl.

GENERAL NEWS. The steamer Arizona, from Aspinw&ll to No?' ?ork, brings the news of a terrible explosion which Ocourred at that place on the 3d inat. The British ship European arrived at that port on the previous day. ana commenced unloading her oar go. Nearly all the local Troight hod been deliver ed! when about 7 o'clock on the morning of the 3d, a terrific explosion occurred ou board, which tore aw?y the upper parts.of the ship, and blow Boveral large plates off the aide. The wharf, some four hundrecf feet long, was torn to piocos; tho auperatfuctnre was completely demolished to with in a hundred feet of the freight-house, and hardly a plank remained in the centre length of the structure that was not wrenched from its fasten ings. ' The t loss of life was necessarily great. It was. impossible, when the Arizona left, to learn the exact number missing, but it was estimated that it would provo to exceed fifty. There was no doubt that the explosion originated in the seven ty cases .of nitro-glycerin shipped from England by tho {European. . At a meeting'of the Metropolitan Board of Health in Now York on the 20th, all the Commii t-lotioi-d j'.osowt?a .report was made by ?Superin tendent Dalfon.^frbm ?he^TJ?i*/anlp- Virginia, anchored at the Lower Quarantine. Forty-five deaths Iliad ocourred in all, down to noon yester day. A telegram was received from', the War Office, (surrendering the Battery Barracks to th? Board of Health. Dr. Parker proposed that tho cellar population of New York and Brooklyn be removed from thoir underground abodes to more healthful positions. Commissioner Msnierre in formed the Board that Gov. Fenton had indorsed the Proclamation of Peril, and authorized the as sumption of extraordinary powers. From Mexico. PasBongers who loft San Francisco, March 30, state that on their arrival at Aoapulco, April 6, they learned that a collision had token place be tween the Liberal forcea, under Corona, and tho Fronch troops occupying Mazatlan. It appears that Corona hia for some time closely invested the place, but finally withdrew when the Frenob marchod out with the intention, it is presumed, ol giving Corona battle, if he could be overtaken. Corona let them get well ont of the city, when he fell. upon their rear, and commenced a vigorous attack. When the steamer whioh brought the news to Aoapulco left Mazatlar. the fighting was going on, the officer in com mand of the French troops.having been killet! while endeavoring to rally his men. who wer? being severely worsted by the Liberals. It waa thought the entireF-fenonforce would bekilled, ai firiaonera are not taken on either side, Yet, as th< sat 'accounts from that quarter stated that the Imperial Qenoral Lobasas was marching a foroi of from three to four thouaand to the relief o Mazatlan, he may have oome up in time to tun the tide of battle. The military situation at Aoa piiliJo remains the samo as it has boen for the pas year. The Fr?onoh \rpovn have & garrison intb' fort, anda man-of-war in the harbor, while th Liberal Oenersl Alvarez commanda a force whiol ocoupies all the surrounding hills, and prevent communication with the interior. His encamp ment is in plain sight from the harbor, but th French manifest no uoslro to eJ'alodgo him. Indeed, the Frenoh are obliged to keep oloe within their lines during the day? &nd at night t look themselves up in the fort.

Reooivod as information. Alderman Ravonol, from Committee on Ways and Meanb, repotted that the quarter's interest duo on tho 1st lestant, on tho city debt, and all of the oity obligations since accruing, nave been promptly paid. The aooomplishment of this has given animation in finance, and oheered our dis splritod people. It has oaused a large amount of currency to be circulated, and enabled the holders of our bobda and stock to dlsobarge many oblig, - tfons that woro pressing on them. A manifest restoration of the olty credit is daily visible, capitalists seeking our bonds and stock for in vestment. This long-wished for result has been accomplished by the law-abiding spirit of our citizens as exhibited ?n their responso to tho call of Counail in a Tax Bill, which was onerous and inoonvouiont, and adopted only as a duty of stern necessity, which could not be shunned or post pone i..'. The" patriotism JM? virtue of our people, and love of our old city, hae bflOQ aO strongly manifest ed by their ready support of Council, that your Committee ar? enoouraged to go on in the good work of restoration: and while they desire and could suggest manv improvements much needod, they are restrained by the convlotion that it is neoessary that we husband our resources with all oaro, and avoid increasing our permanent debt. Yet we must not forget that our prosperity must oomo from our .eommeroe, which, unless we cherish and felicitate, we cannot expect to reap a rioh harvest. We respectfally submit resolutions for your con sideration, the adoption of which will hot commit Council to any expenditures, but simply elicit in formation which will enable them to aot under standing^ and prudently. Tho r?solution calling for information as to the feasibility of having a Park, may startle the cau tioua. and subject your Committee to the charge of buin,' wild; out the advantages of Parks are bo thoroughly aclruo wledged in all ; cities, that al mSet ii/o-rerj-.s-roaperoua and donBoly inhabited city they are to beic?^cr, ana tu- n??ey ?mUhom inaugurated at enormous coat.* If cities in Nor th orn habitudes have found it. expedient to adopt them, it is much more so for us' who live in a warmer olimate. Parks not only contribute to the health of a city, but to the pleasure and conve nience of its citizens. ' In an economical view, we prominently see their utility in arresting large conflagrations. How often, we ask in all candor, has our unfortunate and doroted city boon leveled in auhb?, and clti zeps impoverished by the loss of their houses and effocts, household furniture, ote., burned after having been romoved into a place of supposed safety. In more instances than one'have we seen our Insurance Companies made bankrupt by large Area. Therefore, it behooves us at this time, when an immense area in the city is in ruins, to inquire diligently and investigate calmly what our interests demand, and not to throw asido impa tiently suggestions made by those who would avoid many evils whioh. have insinuated them selves in our pouoy, and whioh your Committee, in putting forward, are only influenced by the deep interest they have and feel in our city. The Artefian Well demands prompt attention. We have betn awaiting its development patiently for many y<aro, and at heavy cost,--now patience has coasod to bo a virtue: and pride, not less than our convenience and comfort, should stimulate us to some adion which will repay us for the enor mous cost of this well. By judiofeus inquiry and care we confidently trust that a person may be found who will see such profit in it as to offer inducements to the city to contract, for its speedy completion. The citj has had this well under her own auspi ces for marly twenty years, and as enterprise? uso ally prosper better under the fostering care ol individua energy, we therefore earnestly impress upon Ccuncil tho necessity of adopting the re solution ? thiB matter. In improvements noces* s aril y infolving the large expenditures of money, your conmlttee rely on the largo amount o: oity asids that can no made available, w i th ou increaefig our oity debt; and as we are emerging as it wefe, from a night of obaotio darkness ant confnsim.we must be up and doing, or Cbarlestoi willtuew arrive at that state of prosperity of whisl many tlink her susceptible, and all ardently d? sire.
