after having made a tour through some of the interior
provinces, where he was well reoeived. Tbe Legis

Arguella and Sr. Martinez had arrived, byway of
Guonacasta, us C>>mmisinonerH from tlie Nicara
guau Government to treat with Costa Rica, but tlie
Government refused to receive or acknowledge
them in any way, and ordered them to leave the
country byway of Punta Arenas. At this mode of
treatment, the Commissioners “waxed wrathy,”
and wore about taking their departure in the Hon
duras schooner Amapala, vowing all kinds of ven
geance against Costa Rica for the insults put upon
them, and talking very big about rifles and revol
vers. sieges, inarches, counter-marehes. hanging,
shooting, etc.
The general feeling in Punta Arenas woh that
they were just served afl they ought to be. Punta
Arenas presented a busy scene, it being the season
of tbe coffee shipping. Three English barks were
loading in port, and tho afreet* were literally block
ed up with ox-rnrta laden with coffee from tlie inte
rior. As many as three hundred wagons, each
averaging 14 sacks or 125 lbs. each arrived on tho
day the Columbus anchored, (22d) and sometimes
the arrivals reached as many as five hundred in 24
hours.
There is no political news of importance. The
prospect of regular steam communication giv**®
great satisfaction to the mercantile community, who
arc quite alive to its advantages. The coffee crop
of this year about an average one, and ia estima
ted at 90,000 quintals, (100 lbs. each.) Price in
Punta Arenas from 9 to 11 cents.

Destructive Fire at Murfrrbsboro.—Four
teen liottacß in Ruin*. —The Murfreesboro, (Term.)
Telegraph publishes nn extra on the 15th instant, to
announce tliut a calamitous fire had visited Uiat
town about 3 o'clock that morning, and destroyed
property to tho amount of $30,000. Tho flames
burnt forth in the tinner's shop of Mr. Barnes, on
the north-east corner of the square, and speedily
communicated to the grocery store of Messrs.
Crockett & Ransom, who lost a large amount of
wheat,corn, bacon, sugar, and various other arti
cles, supposed altogether to amount to seven or
eight tliouwAud dollars, three thousand five hundred
of which was covered by insurance. The Masonic
Hal!, which was in the third story of this building,
was destroyed with all Uio furniture, jew els, See., of
Mount Moriah Lodge, No. 28, of Murfreesboro
Lodge, No. 205, and Pithagoras Chapter, No. 23.
Tho exact loss of the Fraternity cannot be estima
ted, supposed to be from six to eight hundred dol
lars. The grocery store of Messrs. J. A. Collier St.
Co., was also completely destroyed. The house oc
cupied by W. T. Lane waa considerably injured.
The fire also communicated to the buildings owned
by Messrs. J. A. Collier At Co., and completely de
stroyed them na also the adjoining buildings of Mr.
Thos B. Clark, in which were two Groceries and
one .Storage house, one belonging to Mr. A. G.
Crosby and the other to Mr. Clark himself. The
loss of Messrs. Collier At Co. is estimated at $1,500,
and that of Mr. Clark at near $5,000.
England’s Mosquito Claim.—The telegraphic
dispatch which we published in our evening edition of
Monday, in reference to England’s negociating di
rect with General Walker, seems to have been foun
ded on the following sentences in tlie letter of a Gre
nada correspondence of tho New York Herald :
Gen Walker informs me that tlie government do
not intend to seize anv of tho ocean steamers; that
tho company have sufficient property in the country
to satisfy the claim of the government, which is es
timated ut $280,000 ; all local improvements, of
course, confiscate to the State. In tact, the Acces
sory Transit Company is u thing of yesterday.
lam also able to state that Great Britain sent a
commissioner to confer with tho Government of
Nicaragua upon the Central American question,
which is at present taking up so much of the atten
tion of the people of the United Stat<«e.
The commissioner representing this government
and tlie English commissioner met at Grevtown and
agreed upon a basis of settlement that will settle tho
question without regard to the United States.
The Mosquito King is to be placed upon the same
footings as any other chief. A mutual good will and
a recognition of thin government are some of the pre
liminaries They were conveyed to England by a
steamei that left her® on the 4th inst., and will no
doubt bo accepted by Great Britain, as Gen. Walker
tell* me that the proposition* of England were for
the most port consonant with tho views of his go
vernment.
Forge and Welding Iron. —ln the manufacture of t
iron shed*, steam and other boilers, girder and tubu- i
lai bridges, where numerous sheets of iron are used, <
it has been usual to fix the edges of such iron to i
gether bv rivet®, and when ribs and angle iron* 1
have been used to give additional strength to these j
structure®, the sheets have also been fixed by rivet*. :
by which mode of construction the parts are greatly
weakened by the quantity of metal wh»cu is cut
away by perforation to recurve the rivet*, and (
weight has Wen further increased by overlapping of
the joints. An inventor, Mr. Berthron has aiscov- (
ed a mode of remedying theae difficulties by can®- t
ing the sheets of iron to be suitably formed at the j
edges to allow them to be welded together.
Diplomatic Difficulty.— lnformation was received
bv the last steamer fr om Europe, of a misunder
standing between Col. Jackson, our Miuister resi
dent at Vienna, and the Austrian Government. A
correspondent says:
•The misunderstanding has been caused by the
arrest and imprisonment of an American citizen
named i*penr, who after seven months' close con
finement, during which he was not permitted to
communicate in any way with even his minister or
consul, was tried on the 31st of March. 1854, by a
secret and unknown tribunal, convicted of treason,
and sentenced to ten years' labor in irons in the
trenches at Therisienstadt, in Bohemia. Mr. Jack
son. on the 4th of February, demanded a properly
certified copy of the testimony said to have been
need in the conviction of Spears, and informed Count
BuoL in hi* note, that unless he received an affirm
ative reply within four weeks, he should, at the ex
pirathui of that time, withdraw from a court where

A supplement to the Picayune of Feb. 29th has a
private communication from the President to Gov
La Llave, from which the following is a translated
extract: . .
I now have the pleasure of giving you the impor
i tant news that a party, which left Puebla to cover
| the entry of Craga. was completely routed in Fiax
cais, its'officer* Being taken prisoners: and also that
I'raga himaeif, with u»e whole of those who were
with him, without excepting a single private, sur
rendered at discretion, in tho neigh l>orhood of Tu
lancingo. whore be waa besieged by force* of the
Moreno brigade, under tb** command of D. Saboa de
Iturbide. Uraga and the chiefs and officers taker*
prisoners are on tlie wav to this capital.
Another statement give* the number a* 6,000 who
had surrendered with Uraga. .... _ ~
In the communication above alluded to President
Uomonfor. informs Gov La IJave that the Congress
had confirmed th« decree nominating him to the
Presidency, by a majority of 77 vote*.
A letter from Puebla state* that the government
troops, numbering from 7,000 to 8,000, intended to
lay siege to that city on the 3d inst. The army was
concentrated between San Martin. Teamelucan and
Puebia, and weu* awaiting tue arrival of the Presi
dent, who had resolved to take in person the com
mand of the country s force®. Senor Comonfort
had great hopes of bringing rapidly the rebels to
terms.
The rebels were defeated in Chiapa by the troops
sent againet them. After a short engagement with
the latter, they fled, leaving one man killed, and five
prisoners in the hands of tbe assailant*. The fede
ral force® did not lo*e a single man.
The officers of the revolters in the castle of San
Jonan de lima, on the 13th ult., had been sentenced
to be shot, with the exception of Salcedo, who, it
seems, was forced to be their leader, and was tho
first to surrender. Hi* punishment is fixed at ten
years imprisonment
The British mail steamer Dee left Vera Cruz
on tlie sth inst., with $140,586 in specie put on
board in that port, and $2,u00,000 taken at Tam
pico.
The communication between the Capital and
Vera Cruz, suspended for several weeks, was re
sumed through the plains of Apam and Hu&mantla.
A stage, coming directly from Mexico, arrived at
Vera Cruz on the 7th inst.
Vera Cruz is reported healthy, owing to tbe pre
valence of north winds lately.
The Steamboat Collision on the Ohio.—
Further Particulars. —The telegraph has already
announced a collision between the steamers Henry
is* wis and E. Howard, below Troy, on the Ohio
River, and the sinking of the former in twenty
three feet of water, whereby several lives were
lout:
At the time of the collision, the passengers were
all asleep, and the scene of confusion which followed
is described by the Louisville Courier as one of the
most wild and terrific ever experienced on the west
ern waters. The shock of the collision threw the
boat around, with her bow up stream, and tbe en
tire cabin broke in two, or was rather crushed
off by the great weight of freight npon the roof, and
at the same time it careened over, a portion of the
roof on one side being entirely under water. The
passengers, including a number of ladies and chil
dren, escaped in their night clothes, and took refuge
on the hurricane deck, exposed to all the inclemency
of the weather.
The boat also caught fire, and amid the smoke,
falling ruins and rushing waters their escape seemea
hopeless indeed. The boat luckily settled to the
bottom of the river, leaving the hurricane roof
above water, and thero the survivors congregated
to await assistance.
Among those known to be lost were two children
on deck, belonging to a poor Irish woman going to
New Orleans; a woman, name unknown, was also
lost from the deck.
Four of the fugitive slaves of Mr. Gaines, (recent
ly arrested in Cincinnati, and on their way to Arkan
sas) were on the boat, including Margaret and her
infant child. The child was drowned, and the other
saved. The mother, it is stated exhibited no other
feeling than ioy at the loss of her child. She was
accompanied by the Simons, father and son, all in
charge of Marsnal Butts, of Covington. He had a
narrow ♦‘scape from drowning, having entered his
room after the oolfision to get something and was
got out by a a hole cut through the roofV
It was thought that two cabin passengers from
Portsmouth, Ohio, were among the drowned, and
two others were missing. The rest, 35 in number,
were saved. The second cook, Dan McCutcheon, a
native of Steubenville, Ohio, is among the lost. Os
the crew and firemen some 10 or 12 were drowned.
The officers of the boat, including engineers, pilota,
mate®, dtc., were saved. Tlie cargo of the boat con
sisted of seven hundred tons of pork, with large
quantities of oil, lard, cheese, and such other pro
duce as is usually shipped from Cincinnati.
She was in charge of Captain Emerson, and waa
insured in Cincinnati in the Washington City, Cin
cinnati, and Merchants and Manufacturers offices.—
The collision is attributable to the pilots in tlie re
spective boats misunderstanding each other’s sig
nals. The Howard is a Nashville packet, and has
already not only sunk two boats, but has been sunk
twice nerself. On one occasion she took fire in the
hold, and the Iriquois received SB,OOO salvage for
saving her. The Lewis is a total loss, but part of
her freight will be saved.
The English Press on Americas Affair®.—
Tho Knglirih paper® received by the Africa are quite
warlike is their tone. The London Telegraph, a
paper which apparently took a reasonable view of
the dispute at its beginning, says now that “the Uni
ted Statca require humbling," and that the only
way to Rcttle tho matter now is “at the point of the
bayonet.”
The Ix)ndon morning Advertiser professes to be
aware that Mr. Dallas carries out very stringent de
mands in regard both to tho Central American and
the Enlistment questions. The London Chronicle,
referring to the debate in the United States Senate,
on tho Clayton Buiwer treaty, says :
Wo have reason to believe that our own govern
ment are not unconcerned obnervers of these pro
ceedings. They are, certainly, most averse to a
quarrel. There i* no concession short of national
dishonor they would not make to avert it; but if they
are forced into a fight, why, they accept tlie situa
tion. Thero are various quiet But significant indi
cation of their activity. Transport* are preparing
for the conveyance of troops not, it is believed, to
the Crimea We have already several of our block
ship* on the West India station. Some of our sharp
saUtug and heavy-armed frigates have received
their sailing orders ; and rumor poiuts to the West
Judies as their destination. In all this there i* no
bluster, but there is no fear. We at home are loath
to believe that our American friends mean all they
say.
The London Morning Advertiser says :
For tiie Bake of maintaining the Monroe doctrine
—a theory which is absolutely scoffed at in Europe,
and which no sensible man in this country would
condescend to refute—the Yankee® will hardly put
to the hazard their wealthy commerce their disor
ganized fleet, and their undisciplined armies. Let
the British government be but firm, and the loud spea
ing of the American Congress will soon subside to an
hunble strain. Let our government exhibit weak
ness, and the American demand® will rise until they
touch every possession of the British crown in the
west. Now is the time to take our stand, at what
ever coat, to resist the willful misconstruction of ft
treaty, and attempts upon the inalienable rights of
Great Britain put forward under color of claims
which in any case are inadmissible.

Rumored Disaffection in Canada. —A Toronto
correspondent of the New York Daily Times writes
on the 4th inst:
A portentous story is at the present moment pas
sing from mouth to mouth, ana meets with gome de
gree of credence. It is confidently stated that a
plot has been discovered, having for its object the
placing of Canada under the banner of the stars and
stripe*, and that a number of men holding high of
fice in this oountry are implicated in it. It is said
thp.t Mr. Seward, sometime ago in the United States
Senate, spoke of the probable conduct of Canada, in
the event of war with England, he proceeded not
on a vague estimate of the state of public feeling,
but on tangible documentary evidence, in the shape
of letters from influential parties on this side, then
actually in hi* hands. Aud it is added, that the con
spiracy has been blown upon, aud that the Governor
General is now in possession of the names of eight
members of the Canadian Parliament, and of a num
ber of Canadian Magistrates, who have been en
gaged in treasonable correspondence with Mr
Seward. _

Adulteration.—The Dublin Medical Press, re

“One manufacturer produces twenty-one tons of

The fforemment of the Rerreblie of Nicaragua ii
sued a decree, dated Granada, February 18, annul
ling the contract with the Nlcaraguasteamship line,
or more pioperlv. the Accessory Transit Company.
The decree appoints a board of three commissioners
to wind up &€ affairs of the old company, and to
contract with other partis for the inatant commence
ment of a line of steamship* to the Atlantic States
and California. _, ,_ _
El Nicaragvense . of the 23d of February, has a
long article on the subject. It state* that in order to
secure the government against ioasfroxn the Transit
Company, the Commissioners have full authority to
sene all the property and steamers belonging to the
Accessory Transit Company now in, or that may
come within, the jurisdiction of the State ; and it will
be turned over to the agents of the now line, on
their giving bonds for the safety of the property and
the continuance of the communication. The steam
ers at San Juan del Norte and San Juan del Sur, to
gether with those on the lake, and the property of
all kinds, both at and between all these points, will
be seized immediately and held to satisty the claims
of this government against the aforesaid company.
It then mention* that at the time of the original
contract being made between the Government ot
Nicaragua and the Transit Company in 18-19, the
Company stipulated to pay the Government SIO,OOO
per annum, together with ten per cent, of all nett
profits of the line. These conditions have never
been fulfilled, and therefore, in its right, the Govern
meet annuls the contract, and seizes the property to
indemnify it for the amount due it by the Company.
The Company had moreover threatened to suspend
communication with the ports of Nicaragua, and
therefore the State was interested in preventing the
accomplishment of the threat.
“Mr. Joseph L. White, with Mr. Marcoleta, have
not only violated the neutrality laws of the United
States, in shipping an armed fore# of fifty men to
this State, ready armed and officered ; but they have
been guilty of fomenting the internal dircorcls that
have prevailed in the country. They had their
policy to accomplish, and had it not been for the in
terference of Gun. Walker, it would have been suc
cessful The fifty Germans sent to this State, and
stationed at Castillo first, and secondly at Rivas,
were intended to advance a grand speculation ; hut
a new game was made before the hand was dealt
out, and to-day Messrs. Aspinwall and Vanderbilt
arc loosers on the deal.’ 1
El Ntcarasruenne announces that Col. Kewen, in
campany with one or two other gentleman, had le f
Granada for Virgin Bay, to take possession, in the
name of the Government of the property of the
Transit Company.
A charter has been granted ly the government of
Nicaragua to Mr. Edmund Randolph (formerly a
lawyer of New Orleans) and hia associates, ceding
to them the exclusive right for twonty-fivo years
“to transport and convey through the territory by
one route, passengers and freight, from the port of
San Juan del Norte, in Nicaragua, or such other
port on the Atlantic more practicable, and the port
of San Suan del Sur, or any other port on the
Pacific more practicable, at the option of the
cessionaries, the exclusive right and privilege to
navigate with vessels of steam all the rivers, lakes
and interior waters of the Republic during the time
of the twenty-five years referred to."
For this privilege, the parties forming the new
Company are to pay the Government of Nicaragua
one dollar for every passenger they transport through
the territory. The Republic stipulates that all mer
chandize conveyed by the steamers and passengers'
goods shall be free from duty. The contractors
agree to establish, within six months, a line of ocean
steamers between the city of New York and the
port of San Juan del Norte, in Nicaragua, or which
soever other point they may adopt on the Atlantic,
and the city of San Francisco and the port of San
Juan del Sur, in Nicaragua, or such other point on
the Pacific, and to maintain the traffic during the
term of tiiis agreement, with the exception of the or
dinary ncriis of navigation by sea.
The Costa Rica authorities have refused to receive
Major Bchleasinger. the Nicaraguan envoy, on the
ground that Costa Rica did not recognize the foreign
party in Nicaragua.
El Nicaraguense states that no hostilities are to be
expected from Guatemala against Nicaragua. The
only foundation for such an impression, it says, is
the’ fact that Guatemala has increased its military
force.
Col. Kinney has published a letter in the Central
American at San Juan del Norte, in which he pro
tests agaiust the annexation of the Mosquito Terri
tory by Gen. Walker, and says that the true sove
reignty yet remains with the Indians.
Capt. A. G. Morrison, one of the indicted fillibus
ters who returned in the Northern Light to New
York, states that a force of five thousand troops
from Costa Rica was on the march against the town
of Castilla, which was ocupied by a company of
seventy men only. Guatemala has leagued with
Costa Rica to invade Nicaragua, and her forces,
commanded by that “human butcher” Guardiela,
were already in the field.
In the face of these threatenings the army of
Walker was in the highest spirits, and eager for the
fray. It is certain that they will shortly have fight
ing to their hearts' content..
In regard to tho decree issuing from General
Walker's government, the New York Commercial
Advertiser of Friday, learns thatjthe Accessory
Transit Company deny their indebtedness to the
Nicaraguan Government to tho extent rumored.
They say that the claim of that Government never
exceeded $40,000. They also say that all tho pro
perty Walker could seize would not exceed in value
$60,000.
on Board the Bark Amelia.
A letter received in New York by the Black War
rior says: The bark Amelia left Port an Prince on
the Ist of December, and had not been at sea many
days before the vessel commenced leaking, and Bail
ing very badly made very alow progress. On the
twenty-fourth day out they experienced a very se
vere gale, which nearly destroyed the vessel, tear
ing the sails to ribbons. They attempted to make
the. port of Charleston or Savannah, but failed in do
ing that, and were earned to the eastward. The
gale lasted for ten days, raging with tho greatest
violence, the vessel continuing to leak very badly,
and it was with the greatest difficulty she could be
kept afloat by constant pumping. They then at
tempted to make the port of New York before
another storm should overtake them, but were not
so lucky.
On the night of January 5, when near New York,
expecting the next morning to be inside of Sandy
Hook, the wind which had been westerly and north
westerly for a few days previous, shifted to the
north, and from that point all around the compass.
It continued blowing a terrific hurricane for thirty
six hours. During the whole of that time the offi
cers aud men relieved each other at the pumps,
every moment expecting the vessel to sink, the wa
ter gaining all the time on them. Finally, and by
degrees, the gale subsided, and they saw there was
some chance of escape. Both officers and men suf
fered severely.
Finding the vessel was a complete wreck, ami be
ing out of provisions and water, all hopes of making
a port in the United States were given np and they
attempted to go into Bermudaj but that was not ac
complished. The greatest anxiety at that time was
to meet a vessel which would relieve them of their
hunger and thirst; but every vessel they met avoid
ed them, giving them as wide a berth as possible,
the Amelin being rather a suspicious looking craft.
Supposing there might be some provisions in the
hold of tho vessel, an examination took place, when
a barrel of rice and bread was found, but in a dam
aged condition. They then discovered the hold was
swarming with rats. They went to work and caught
the rats, which, with the nee, kept them from star
ving. They were in this condition for twenty-two
days.
At daylight on the morning of January 28, a ves
sel was discovered, which proved to be the English
brig Ida, Captain Williams, three days from St.
Johrw, Island of Antigua, bound to London. Lieut.
Worden hailed him, telling him they were sixty
days out and in want of bread and water and some
thing to eat and that they would be very thankful
for anything as they were starving. He replied he
had no bread to spare, but would give them some
flour. A boat was sent on board and returned with
only a part of a half barrel of flour. This, however,
they were thankful for, and with tho rats and the
rice they fared quite well. They then continued
their course, and on the morning of the 21st of Janu
ary came in sight of the Island of Sombrero, and
passing it made for the port of St. Thomas, where
they arrived on the Ist of February, having boen
sixty-two days at sea and most of tho time experi
encing the greatest sufferings.
Lieut. Werden handed the vessel over to Maior
Helm, United States Consul who discharged her
cargo and is now shipping it to New York. The
whole town was alarmedfor fear an explosion would
take plaoe, as there were arms and ammunition on
board sufficient for an army of five thousand men.
The vessel is pronounced the most unseaworthy
that was over seen in that harbor, and great credit
is duo to the officers who, after sixty days hard
ships, succeeded in getting her into port.
Won't Fight any More.
FaCstin I, Emperor of Hayti, has issued another
proclamation to the people and army, which is word
ed as follows:
Haytiens! when some weeks since, at the head
of my army, I quitted the capital, I believed it ne
cessary to acquaint you with my determination.
Every thing obliged me, as soon as possible, to
undertake the campaign of the East. My obedience
to the oath which I had taken to maintain our con
stitution ; my servitude of numerous sympathies in
the East, above all, the imminence of a foreign in
vasion of this port—these were the pressing motives
which guided me.
No sacrifices would 1 have spared to insure the
well-being of my soldiers and the success of that
campaign, but 1 had counted without treason.
Already at Manuel Rivo the Imperial soldiers had
received the double baptism of blood and fire. Al
ready at I>as Damas, Baile de Lamile, our enemies,
driving everything before them had penetrated into
the town of Saint Jean de Negre, when some trai
tor from the ranks of the army paralyzed my efforts
and caused us to lose the fruits of our first successes.
The cowards! They did not perceive in their blind
ness, that they trampled under foot that constitution
which they had sworn to defend! They have not
felt—these unworthy descendants of the founders of
our independence—that repudiating the inheritage
of our fathers, they delivered to foreigners the soil
of their country, yet warm with the blood of their
ancestors
Under these circumstances, I retrace my steps,
putting off for a time the accomplishment of the oath
I have taken to maintain the integrity of our terri-
lory. .
Havtiena, be culm! Tour emperor watches over
you. ' I have given yon tranquility; I shall know
how to preserve it. .
Already the traitors have paid with their lives their
infamous conduct! . .......
Officers and soldiers who have remained faithful
to vour oath. I am satisfied with you. _ But for these
traitors our miseion had been accomplished. So re
turn to your homes with your heads high, for you
have done your duty.
Long live the independence! Long live the oon-

held their first meetm? on the 25th ult., at Paris
Count Waicwski presided, opening the session with
a speech, and after exchanging credentials, a writ
ten guarantee was signed not to divulge the proceed
ings until the Conference should be closed.—
An armistice was then decided on till the last of
March, not however to affect the blockade of the
Baltic.
The Austrian propositions were then formally
paraphrased as tiie basis of negotiation, and the
meeting adjourned. No meeting wan held on Tuea
day (In Wednesday- the see.md meeting was
held, but nothing bad transpired relative thereto.
Among the rumors abounding, it in asserted that
Russia, while assenting to the destruction ot Se
bastopol, Bomarsund and Nicolaieff, refuse* to
relinquish her protectorate over tho Greek Chris
tians.
A Vienna letter asserts that Prince Gortschakoff
stated that the Russian Government consider* the
convocation of a General European imme
diately after a treaty ot peace u signed, as the best
means of settling all the questions at issue. I ranee
and Austria favor the idea but England objects.
The evident cordiality existing between France
and Austria begins to excite uneasiness in England,
and a triple league between France, Austria and
Russia is surmised as being not an improbable inci
dent in the future.
Orders have been forwarded to the allied generals
respecting the armistice.
It is stated that the Emperor Napoleon intimated
to the generals and admiral in Paris that they proba
bly need not return to their commands.
The allies were about to destroy the sunken ships
in the harbor of Sebastopol by dropping heavy shells
to explode under the water.
Turkey. —Vienna ad\iees state that Ishmael Pa
cha succeeds Omar in the command of the Turkish
i troops in Asia. Omar Pacha, it appears, recently
demanded from the Porte the appointment of Minis
ter of War, and oil its being refused he resigned.
Russia. —A force of tliree thousand Russians
were employed day and night in constructing a
triple row of piles across the Gull of I inland, six
miies from Cronstadt, behind which is stationed the
Russian steam fleet of 18 ships, 14 corvettes and 70
gun boats.
The government of Russia has ordered the
immediate issue of Treasury notes to the value of
21,000,000 roubles. Large amounts of specie have
been forwarded across the Russian frontiers to St.
Petersburg. .
Great energy is manifested in Russia on the con
struction of Railroads.
The relations between Russia and Persia increase
in cordiality.
England.— There is some talk of an early dissolu
tion of Parliament or a change in the Government.
This rumor affected the funds.
The Mayor of London gave a banquet to Mr.
Buchanan, but he was summoned to dine with the
Queen, so he could not attend.
The* Lord Mayor made a speech, in which he ex
pressed his regret at Mr. Buchanan's absence, as the
reception he would have there met with from the
representatives of the leading interests in England
would have proved to him tho absence of all unfriend
ly feelings with regard to America, and that the in
terests of commerce, peace, civilization and human
ity were too powerful to permit a collision between
tie two countries.
Similar feelings were expressed by other speakers
including Mr. Cobden.
In the House of Commons Sir DeLacy Evans
gave notice of a resolution disapproving of the
course of the Government in refusing offers of
troops from Canada, while at the same time making
abortive attempts to enlist men from the adjoining
neutral territory of the United States.
The Latent. —A despatch in the London Morning
Advertiser says : “It is deemed not improbable that
the result in toe moves of the artful Diplomatists of
Russia, may cause tho immediate breaking up of the
Conference. A very grave hitch has already oc
curred. Though the*fifth point is the last of all, it
was agreed to take up first, and accordingly at the
second meeting of the Conference it was submitted
for consideration. Counts Orloff and Brunow ob
jected and proposed to refer it to a Congress of all
the Crowned Heads of Europe, pledging themselves
in the name of the Czar to abide by whatever de
cision that Congress might reach. This unexpected
course, it is added, produced consternation at Paris,
causing a fall in the French funds. It has also sur
prised and alarmed our own government, and Lord
Cowley is expected at London, to_ take instructions
from tfie Government on the subject.
The London Times notices rumors to the same ef
fect as tho above, which caused a fall in the English
funds of I per cent A rally however occurred at

The proceedings in the British Parliament are of

succumbs in the matter of the Wensley Dale Life
Peerage, and will issue a new hereditary patent.—
Lord Derby, meantime, has induced the Committee
of Lords to define the appellate jurisdiction of tho
House of Lords.
Mr. Roebuck, in the House of Commons, moved
the following resolution. That the appointment, of
a committee of general officers, to report upon the
report of Sir J. McKeil and Col. Tullock, is to sub
stitute an inefficient mode of inquiry, and that the
effect of such appointment will be to hide the mis
conduct of those by whom various departments of
our army have been subjected to the command of
officers, who have been inculpated by the Com
missioners appointed to inquire into their conduct.
This resolution was iutendod to defeat the
Ministry on a division, but after discussion it was
withdrawn.

Parts, Feb. ‘J£)lh. —The Congreno has not met to

up of the Conference, and considerable agitation in
the money market.
The London Times of March 1, says : A number ‘
of rumors were circulated that the Conferences at *
Pariß had taken an unfavorable turn, and as some <
persons were ready to believe that all the precau- '
tions that were taken for secresy had merely proved
useless against the means of information possessed
by a few of the speculative dealers in stock cx- j
change, a fall occurred of more than one per cent.; (
but as the close of business approached, and none of |
the rumors put forth received confirmation, a rally
occurred. Looking at the agitation of the London (

considered to have exhibited great firmness. j

The London Times of February 26th has an edi- ,
torial article, deprecating the existence of nnv ill ,
feeling, much less a rupture of friendly relations ,
with the United States on account of either the Ceil- .
tral American question or the enlistment difficulty.
England, the writer says, has no wish to possess the
key of the Pacific, and docs not value the posses
sion of Ruatan much. Messrs. Clayton and Bulwer I
bungled the treaty, and an arbitration by a third 1
partv would bring forth a satisfactory interpretation I
of that paper. Ifthat is not agreed to, the people of
both countries must say what it does mean. The
writer concludes thus:
“Both as regards the enlistment question and its
imaginary affront, and the Nicaraguan dispute, with
its contested details, every man feels that trifling
oauses of quarrel have wrongly received importance
wheu affairs of much greater weight demand the at
tention of either nation.”
Acorreepondeiit of the London A’etrs, writing front
Naples on 21et of February says :
Amongst other distinguished individual arrivals
must bo mentioned Smith O'Brien and his son, who
have left for Sicily: Sir George Shea, who is in bad
health ; and Ex-President Fillmore. Accompanied
by the United States Minister, Mr. Owen, he yester
day had a special audience of his Majesty at Casata,
and a special train was placed at his disposal. The
Americans, I am glad to say, are now signing an ad
dress to Mr. Owen, praying him to remonstrate w ith
the Neapolitan government on the subject of the
exchanges. The French are doing the same —so
that a vast mass of public feeling and opinion will
now be brought to bear on the subject; but I doubt
if anything will come of it.
From the London Times , Feb. 26.
Those have been mistaken who expected that the
meeting of the American Congress would be the
signal or the cause of a national outburst of hostility
to England. It would now appear that the means
of constitutionally expressing opinion, has acted as
a safety-valve in the passions ot the republic. The
orations in the Senate are hardly what we should
call pacific. Mr. Seward was for immediate notice
of expulsion by force of arms. Gen . Cass was war
like as ever, and the most moderate only advocated
the abrogation of the whole treaty, a return to a
state of things which proceeded its signature, and
then the adoption of the most advantageous policy,
that of masterly inactivity or tacit acquiescence m
forcible colonization of Americans being generally
preferred. However, it is admitted on all hands
hat the debate is little regarded. If the speakere
are interested, the readers of the speeches are not,
and as for listeners, they are few in number The
question of Central America, which we m this coun
try looked upon as important, through a belief that
Americans held it to be so, has now shrunk to the
proportions of a common contest.
We may learn from the long contest for Speaker
in the House of Representatives, how fully the Ame
ricans felt that no danger threatened their country.
No spirit of faction would have prevented them
from making their choice within on hour, .had they
believed that the safety or even the dignity of the
States were imperrilled. The general expression of
feeling, both bv Senate, Representatives, and peo
ple, is to the effect that no cause of quarrel really ex
ists, and that whatever is in dispute may be settled
as disputes should be settled between friendly na
tions. No one can have considered the matter with
out cleariy seeing that half an hour e conversation,
inspired by a real wish for agreement, would suffice
to end the bickerings of months. Therefore, Con
gress, which represents very fully the heart as well
as the head of tne American people, does not seem
at all irritable. It is indeed, a new proof of the ca
pacity of popular assemblies to disease the most
delicate concerns of a nation when we find how little
a dispute fanned by the intriguing spirit of politi
cians fails to embitter assemblies chosen by such
extended suffrage as tboee forming the American
Congress. Both Senators and Representatives
would, we doubt not, resist with spirit a real injury ;
but no official persuasion can make them believe
that an ambigious treaty was a perfidious plan of
England, or tnat in keeping up a station at Ruatan.
ana cutting mahogany on the Honduras coast, this
country is intent on seizing the key of the Pacific,
and limiting the natural growth of American power.
In short, the question is seen to have been misun
derstood by tne people as much as by their diploma*
‘ lists. Every citizen is aware that we have no wish
to tight for Ruatan, or even much desire to possess
it; ne also knows that America could gain nothing
* bv even the most fortunate war in comparison to the
advance made in a single year ot such peace and
r prosperity as she enjoys at present. Both as regards
t the enlistment question and ns imaginary affront,
and the Nicaraguan dispute with its contested de
tails, every man feels that trifling cause? of quarrel
have wrongly received importance when affairs of
\ much greater weight demand the attention of either
i nation
Tbs wisidt of Mr John Sadlisr still occnpiw
general attends The extent ti hit delinquencies
is frill unknown, and probably will never be divul
ged. since those whose fortunes arc most seriously
compromised will naturally make every endeavor
to conceal losses which would place their own sol
vency in question. It is certain, however, that the
estimates of his frauds have not erred greatcly
on the side of exaggeration, and that they probably
range from £500.(100 to £BOO.OOO. He 'was chair
man of the London and County Bank, Deputy
Chairman of the East Kent Railway, Chairman of
the Koval Swedish Railway, principal founder of the
Tipperary Joint Stock Bank. Co. The two former
establishments sustain no losses by him of any mo
ment, but of the other two. one has been nearly and
tlie other quite ruined.
The Royal Swedish Railway is plaeed in a similar
position to that occupied by the New York and New
lfaven line from its connection with Mr. Schuyler.
Its capital is £460,000, and Sadiier has lf.sued un
authorised shares and obligations to the amount of
£ 100,000 or £250,000. The signatures being genu
ine, it is not believed the Company will attempt to
repudiate their liability upon teem. The Tipperary
JMilt Stock Bank lias stopped, and will be wound up
in Chancery. Sadlier’s brother James, the mem
ber for Tipperary, was its chairman. Messrs. R.
Keating ana Vincent Scully, the members for Wa
terford and Cork, are stated to be among its share
holders. The general shareholders are few in num
ber and poor in circumstances, and the liabilities of
the concern will therefore fall with ruinous severity
upon the few among them who may be possessed
of any property.
The most formidable of his frauds have been com
mitted, it is believed, in connection with the estates
of Irish noblemen of which he was receiver, and
the real extent of these is never likely to become
public. He is understood to have raised large sums
of money on title deeds entrusted to his keeping,
and it is also certain that in two cases, if not more,
he has raised money by forgeries of titles from the
Encumbered Estates Court. It seems marvellous
that none of his offences of this nature wore detect
ed at an earlier period. He evidently delayed his
suicide to the last moment, since another week could
not have passed without placing him in a position
which would have ended in his transportation for
life.

able to carry 10,000 passengers. She is of the most
gigantic* proportions, and u visit to her is a sight to
be talked of. When she is completed, and in the

This report also recommends the restoration to the

It recommends, moreover—supposing such mat

A Romantic Miss. —A young lady of respectable
connections, in Philadelphia, who had probably been
reading some of the late flaming novels of Southern
life, became determined very suddenly, a sow weeks
ago, to leave the narrow limits of the city and satis
fy herself on the slave State in the South, at the
same time enjoy herself among its pleasant towns
and villages. She clothed herself in man’s attire, in
a fashionable suit of broadcloth, took some change
in her pocket, and in a very quiet manner eloped.
She arrived in the city one day last week, all
appearance a lad of some 15 or 16 summers, stopped
a day or two, and in the meantime fell in with some
extravagant young travellers, proposed champagne
with them, took snacks at the “Bower,” and flew
around in quite handsome style. Y'esterday after
noon she was on the point of leaving in the South
ern curs, when her father, who having fortunately
guessed her course was in pursuit of her, and lmd
just arrived by the Richmond train, found her seat
ed in the smoking car of the Weldon train puffing
away on a prime! lav ana, with her tiny little feet
cocked up against the stove, and withal quite at
home. On the affectionate parent beholding his
gentlemanly daughter thus metamorphosed, he was
at a loss to express himself, but finally managed to
exclaim, “Is that you Louisa ?” To which the gal
lant runaway responded, “This is me father. Oh!
I’m so sorry I left you,” and she burst into tears.

The Case of Mr. Crompton. —A Washington cor
respondent says that the British Minister has delay
ed the contemplated answer to the despatch of Dec.
28th, demanding the recall of Mr. Crampton and the
Consuls, until time shall have been afforded for col
lecting certain information on matters of fact intro
duced into that recapitulation of the whole case
The statement of fact understood to be in dispute be
tween the two governments, refers to the enlist
ments alleged to have been made after Lord Claren
don’s disclaimer of an intention to violate the laws
of the United States, and after the issue of the order
which he states had been given to discontinue the
recruiting. Mr. Marcy will have no difficulty in
proving to the satisfaction of the British Ministry,
he allegations made by him on this head, and it is
believed that Mr. Crampton will admit them. This
stat e of the cose gives countenance to the conjec
ture that Mr. Crampton may be promoted in the
diplomatic service, and transferred to another sta
tion.—Bait. Amer.
Terrible Accident at Tyler , Texas. —The Tyler
Reporter of the 27th ult., gives the following ac
count of the accident at that place, by which a num
ber of nersons were seriously injured :
On Friday night last, the 21st, while an audience
of about one hundred and fifty were assembled in
the upper room of the Federal Court-House, the pil
lars supporting the same gave way, and the floor,
together with the whole audience, fell through, a dis
tance of twelve or fourteen feet. The confusion
that succeeded the crash was such as we have rare
ly had the misfortune to behold. Husband was ex
claiming for wife, wife for husband, parents for
children, and the screams of the frantic crowd
made the very blood chill in the veins.
There were some of our citizens seriously woun
ded, and nearly all the persons present were dam
aged to some extent. Mr. 1). N. Cowsar, of this
place, lmd both legs broken and an arm dislocated,
and is the principal sufferer. His injuries are of a
serious character. There were about ten or twelve
who received injuries, and who are now under the
care of physicians. The Holman House, near the
scene of the disaster, resembled a hospital, and the
night was rendered hideous by the screams and
groans of the wounded.
Mr. Everett in Baltimore. —The reception of this
gentleman in Baltimore on Tuesday night was one
of the most enthusiastic ever given to a civilian en
gaged in mere literary exercises. It was on the oc
casion of his delivery of a eulogy upon the Life and
Character of Washington. The President of the
United States, Dr. Kane, the celebrated Arctic na
vigator, and other invited guests wore upon the
platform. The American describes it as the largest
audience ever assembled at the hall of the Mary
land Institute. Full five thousand interested audi
tors were present, and many thousands could not
obtain entrance. The production is spoken of as
at once a proud triumph of literary ami oratorical
excellence, and a reverential tribute to the memory
and lame of Washington.
The distinguished orator closed bis address with a
passage which touched a chord in every heart—im
pressing it as peculiarly incumbent on the citizens of
America, as depositaries of the fame and memory
of Washington, to follow his advice and obey his
counsels. The preservation of the Union was the
thought and care which lay nearest to his heart. If
ever his parting counsels on that head should be for
gotten, it might be truly said that Washington had
lived in vain.
At the close of the address, after a vote of thanks
had been pussed to the orator, President Pierce
and Dr. Kane were presented to the audience and
heartly received.
Mr. Everett has accepted an invitation to deliver
an oration on Washington at Richmond; the pro
ceeds to be contributed to the fund of the Laaiee*
Association for the purchase of Mount Vernon. The
eloquence of such a speaker, and in so good a cause,
will attract an immense audience. Whilst in Rich
mond Mr. Everett will be the guest of Governor
Wise.— National Intelligencer.

charge in the Corigan murder cose, lately tried in ii
Quebec. f
The Judge charged, it was alleged, that none but
those who struck the fatal bio fr were guilty, and the
prisoners were in consequence acquitted. Corigan
was an Orangeman, or a Canadian Know-Nothing. P
Tho Ministry asked the Parliament to-dav to allow
them till Thursday to resign, i f they could not get c ,
the vote reversed. The Hon. John A. McDonald, of p ,
Kingston, will likely be call dd up to form a now
Ministry, if the present one is beaten on Thursday. b
He will be supported by some of the annexationists
of 1849. He is a liberal conservative.
Gov. Head is sadly perplexed. Everybody dis
trusts everybody, and there is hardly a man or party
in Canada strong enough to form ;a government. “ "

MANCHESTER, Feb. 29. —There is a prevailing dis
position among the various classes of buyers in this mar
ket to refrain from aJI but necessary operations just now'.
It is a moment of commercial, as it is of political, uncer
tainty and suspense. Politics have unquestionably a
groat deal to do with this abeyance of mercantile Activi
ty -. people arc waiting te see whether peace or war is to
be the present destiny of Europe. But the pause which
is natural to the crisis is aggravated by an idea, preva
lent among buyers, that prices have latterly risen in a de
gree which must be taken as a very large instalment of
any effect producible by the termination of the war.—
Were prices lower, an antiepatory re action would no
doubt bo ventured upon ; as it is, both shippers and home
buyers confine themßclvoa to supplies of present urgen
cy’; and the business of the week must be summed up as
very limited, both in yarns and goods. The principal
buyers of the former have been the continental mer
chants ; aim the latter have been taken more for ship
ment than for home consumption.
There is just as much indifference about business on
tie side of producers as on that of buyers. Spinners
have found Cotton rising quite as much as yarns, and man
Ufa* racers have found yarns advancing muob jnoro than
cloth , both classes are working mostly to order, and they
expect that a treaty of peace would impart a further Im
petus to this market.
The overland mail is telegraphed, and the letters are
looked for bv Monday. Home inquiry for China shirtings
to-day. and also for water twist, leads many te- conclude
that private telegraphic accounts have been received by
somo firms in this city; but such inquiries frequently tako
place on tho ordinary telegraphic announcement being
posted on ’Change.
LEICESTER, Feb. 28 —The advance of yams makes
the position of the manufacturers very difficult, as they
oannot yet realize it upon a dull demand; it also pre
vents the machinery being employed, and there is loss la
bor required. There is no alteration to notice either in
yarns or wools. —Leicester Journal.
