The Nicaragua Treaty.
Washikgtoh, April 21.
Tho treaty with Sir Henry Bulwer was signed and conclud
cd yesterday, after negotiations extending through nearly the
whole term of the present administration. In every aspect,
both in the advantages secured to the United States and
in the happy influence which it is destined to exercise on com
merce and civilization, this treaty is the noblest and highest
diplomatic achievement of the age. The public will f soon have
an opportunity of understanding the extent and character of
the arrangement in all its details,and of appreciating the embar
rassments by which Gen. Taylor and his cabinet were encom
passed, owing to the concessions of their predecessors in office.
In the meantime, the leading features can only be stated upon
well authenticated rumor.
Great Britain stipulates not to settle, occupy, fortify or ex
ercise any right of dominion in Central America or the Mos
quito Coast; in other words she agrees to surrender the terri
torial acquisitions, which were made by virtue of an alleged
protectorate to the King of Musquito.
The treaty liberates every part of Central America from
British bondage, and attaches that confederacy to the United
States by the obligations of gratitude and interest.
It re-establishes the Monroe doctrine, which was abandoned
by Mr. Polk's Administration, on the most substantial footing,
by enforcing the American principle more efficaciously than
was ever before asserted.
It secures the construction of the ship-canal connecting the
two great oceans, by which more than ten thousand miles
of dangerous navigation will be saved, and the transhipment
of merchandize and produce will be rendered necessary, and
enlist the capital and co-operation of Great Britain in the im
mediate advancement of that vast and most important enter
prize.
It admits all other nations to use the canal by the payment
of equal tolls and by uniting in the guaranty of protection;
thereby saving the United States from the necessity of a naval
force to maintain its rights. It ensures the protection of Great
Britain over all other routes to the Pacific that may hereafter
be adopted or negotiated beyond our jurisdiction ; an object
which the last administration sought, hut failed to obtain in
regard to Panama. And fiually, introduces anew era in com
merce, bv which the treasures of our possessions on the Pa
cific and the trade to China and the Indies will be poured into
the Atlantic, attended by unprecedented prosperity and
wealth.
The treaty and correspondence will probably be communi
cated in a few days, and taken up in connection with the Trea
ty with Nicaragua. lam informed upon the highest author
ity in the opposition—one who enjoyed the*privilege of con
sultation as a Constitutional adviser of the President—-that
more creditable or beneficial negotiations were never consum
mated under any Administration. Although the partizan
press has labored streiiously to prejudice the public mind in
advance upon this subject, l>y a deliberate system of false
hood and misrepresentation, there is the best reason to be
lieve that all such efforts will fail of effect. The treaty is one of
which the whole country may justly feel proud, and which in
it* large and munificent results will commend Gen. Tavlor's
Administration to the admiration and gratitude of posterity.

Balloon Passage to California.
The Washington correspondent of tho Charles 4 on News
says : u Mr. Porter is exerting himself to dispose of the stock
of his California steam balloon company. Were it not for his
high character in the scientific world, he would be laughed
at, but men shake their heads incredulously at liis demon
strations, and plainly indicate that they doubt his sanity. In
order to remove popular objections, he intends delivering a
public lecture next week, when his working model will be
exhibited and made to take a short journey. The general
principles of his plan of serial navigation are easily compre
hended. The most important part of the apparatus an
terial balloon or floatof a long round shape, gradually taper
ing each way from the centre, and terminating in a point at
each end. This is constructed of cotton cloth, coated on one
side with India rubber, and the other side with linseed oil
paint. This float is supported internally by longitudinal rods
of wood, and inflated with hydrogen gas. Its length is to be
twice that of a first chess steamboat, rod its central diameter
r>o feet. .A saloon lot) feet long and 10 feet in diameter, is
to l*> made of painted cloth, with a floor of thin hoards; and
about SO feet of the central |virt of the saloon is to bo furn
ished with delicate scats for passenger*, and to have windows
in the sides. In the centre of the saloon is to he the engine
containing two light steam engines of 10 horse power
each. Between the float and the saloon arv to Ik? two ’im
pelling wheels,-10 feet in diameter, in the form of an eight
armed wind-mill wheel. These sails or fans, when in mo
tion, will, it is said, act obliquely on the air, which, by reac
tion. will exert a propulsive force on the wheels thus pro
filing the whole machine. The wheels are to be opera
ted by the steam engines by means of bolts or endless
chains.
“ To the rear end of the float is to be connected a rudder
Ifi feet long, which can be worked either vertically or hori
zontally. After deducting the weight of the w hole, there
will, it is calculated, be left a buoyancy of 38,514 pounds, suf
ficient to carry 200 passengers with their baggage. When
tlie float or balloon is inflated, the saloon is to be freighted with
ballast in the shape of stones or earth, in boxes provided for
that purpose. When passengers are to he taken on board,
if the weather be calm, the saloon will be brought to the
ground; but should it Ik? stormy, they will betaken up b~
an elevator—a horizontal platform furnished with railings and
seats; the elevator, when in its place, to constitute apart of
the floor of the saloon. 3 lie saloon is to be furnished with
ruhlKT cloth cylinders inflated with air, so as to render it a
safety boat in ease of an accidental descent into a lake or
ocean !
“ In answer to the objection that no cloth materials will be
niile to sustain the force of a heavy side wind nr gale, Mr.
Porter says that the serial machine will float along icitk the
current, and therefore cannot be subject to but very little
pressure from any direction, lie also contends that there
are no suoh tiling as blustering squalls at the height of half a
mile from the earth, as the invariably stcadyvnotion of the
clouds will shew.”
Ttiizf. of Five Thousand Rupkks. —A Chance for Yan
kee Ingenuity. —A prize of five thousand rupees is offered
by the Agri-1 [orticultural Society of India, for an improved
cotton cleaning machine, capable of separating the short staple
Cotton grown in India from the seed, and possessing such
qualities of expedition, simplicity and comparative cheapness
as to render it likely to come into practical use. The Society’s
prize of a gold medal will also be given to the successful com
petitor. The Governor is to approve the machine; In the
event of no machine being deemed worthy of the full amount
of five thousand rupees, a smaller prize will be awarded for
the best machine offered. Each competitor is to deposit,
free of charge, a full-sized working machine in the Society’s
rooms, Metcalfe Hall, Calcutta, together with a letter de
scriptive of the machine and the mode of working it, ad
dressed to the Honorary Secretary of the Agri-llortioultural
Society of India, on or before the Ist of January, 1852,
The American Consul at Calcutta communicates this in
formation, which will no doubt set Yankee ingenuity at work.
A rupee is worth about forty-four and a half cents, conse
quently the prize offered in federal money is $£2,225. This
‘minisoffered as a stimulant to invention, and not as the
price of it. It does not, we presume, prevent the inventor
having it patented and enjoying its profits besides.
AC urious Manuscript Discovered. —The Tribune trans
lates from the Journal des Debats, a letter dated Copenha
gen. Feb. 15: Dr. Pierre Andre Munch, Professor at the
l ni versify of Christina, who is now at Copenhagen", has just
presented the Society of Northern Archology of that city, an
extremely curious manuscript, which he has discovered,
mid which he obtained during liis voyage in 1849, to the
Orkney isles. This manuscript, is in a state of excellent pre
servation, and judging from the form of the letters, to be
referred to the tenth or even the ninth century, contains seve
ral episodes, in the Latin language, on the history of Nor
way, stating some important facts, heretofore entirely un
known, which illustrate the obscure ages, which in Norway,
preceded the introduction of Christianity. Dr. Munch has
also presented to the Areliological Society several fae-siiniles
ot Runic inscriptions, which he discovered in the Orkney
isles a >id in the North ofScotland.
‘ A wile full of truth, innocence and love, is the prettiest
flower a man can wear next his heart. A large breast-pin, a
‘•'ife would be, filled up in this way.’
American Inventive Genius. —The improve
ments in the manufacture of percussion caps by
machinery have been rapid and wonderful. A
W ashington letter in the N. Y. Tribune, speaking
of them, says:
Formerly we imported percussion caps entirelv
from Europe—they were made by hand labor. Bou
ton invented a machine, and the House Committee
on Military affairs report that it forms the most per
fect cap ever miyle for the small fire-arms in use in
our army. Hsher, an ingenious mechanic, now
dead, invented an apparatus for charging Bouton’s
cap with the fulminate. “NV right next set his wits
to work, and combined Fisher and Bouton’s ma
chines into one, w hich cuts the star from the cop
per, forms the cap, charges it with the fulminate,
presses and delivers it, ready to be varnished. Per
cussion caps are now made here of best quality, for
army use, at 80 cents per 1,000 —the material costs
nearly 9-1 Oths ot that j rice—labor-saving machine
ry can’t well get beyond that.
llow Axes are Made.—The process has been
greatly simplified within the last two years. The
iron is rolled out in bars the proper width and thick
ness of an axe, and six, eight or ten feet long; it is
heated and cut off by a large pair of shears, pro
pelled by water power,; another workman picks up
the piece and places it between a die, and the punch
comes down and forces the hole for the handle by
punching out a piece. An iron mandrill is then in
serted into the hole, and it is immediately put under
another press, which forms one side of the axe; it is
then placed in an upright position, and a chisel
comes down aud splits the bit of the axe ready for
steel; it is then thrown aside. All this is done in
one heat, and in less time than it takes to write the
modus operandi. The blade of tlie axe is then put
in and welded, passed along to the forger, tempered
and is cast upon the ground to cool. As soon as it
is cooled, it is taken up and plained down to an
edge by a plaining machine, and finished up with
emory wheels—painted and labelled, stamped and
ready for market.
A New Orleans Mazzaroni.—We were in
formed yesterday ot a case ot robberv, bv a burglar
who would compare favorably with the ” celebrated
Mazzaroni in gallantry and daring. A married cou
ple residing in the suburbs of this municipality, of
whom “both were young and one was beautiful,”
hud retired to their connubial couch at their usual
hour; the gentleman as usual depositing his gold
watch and the lady her diamond ear-rings under
their respective pillows. They slept quietly and
undisturbed till morning, when awaking, the ladv
remarked—
“My dear, you kissed me in the middle of last
night.”
“No, I did not,” protested the worse half. “I
slept quietly all night, too soundly to think of such
a thing.”
“\\ ell, I am certain somebody reached over last
night and kissed me.”
“Oh, fudge! ’ exclaimed the husband, lifting up
the pillow to look for his repeater. Great was his
horror to find that it was gone. This reminded the
wife to look under her pillow for her diamond ear
rings, and still greater was her horror to find the
highly-prized last birth day's present of her dear
husband was missing. They jumped out of l>ed
and instituted thorough search for these valuables,
but to their great sorrow, were not only unable to
find them, but discovered that nearly every other
valuable article in the room had been stolen by
some desperate burglar who had entered the room
through tlie window. They both began lamenting
in terms of deep grief, their respective losses, when
suddenly the lady eqelaimed, “Oh ! it was that hor
rible villain kissed me,” and then fell almost into
hysterics at the dreadful thought. “The scoundrel,”
exclaimed the now thoroughly aroused husband, “be
might have taken mv watch, my diamond breastpin,
my silver candlesticks and waiters, mv silver mount
ed pistols, and every thing, but to turn around and
kiss mv wife, while reposing in mv arms—that is
coming too strong a game, entirely.”
Mkdic.ii. Association.— lnscription on a village doctor’s
sign in Devonshire: ‘/ cure a goose, my irife cures the
ganders .” As onr readers may find some difficulty in ma
king this out, it is necessary to explain that the good man in
tended to make known that he cures‘agues,’and liis wife
cured ‘jaundice.’
A Sensible Man.—A distinguished gentlemen in the State
of New Jersey having been asked to sign a petition for
the pardon of Prof. M obster, said he had so much business
of liis own, he had no time to interfere with with that of the
governor of Muschusetts.
Power's Statue of Eve. —The friends of lliram Power,
and a!i the lovers of art, will leurn with regret that the great
work of our sculptor, Eve, which lias for some time been ex
pected in this country for Mr Preston, of South Carolina, has
been lost by shipwreck off the Spanish const. Wc believe it
was considered the artist’s master-piece by his friends in It
aly. It was larger than the G eek Slave, though of life size.
The following toast was given ot a late public meeting—
says the New Bedford Standard. It is grand :
‘\\ inthrop and Webster par nobile fratrum —with cotton
consciences.and coward hearts: like lean kine shivering in a
December farmyard—they follow the sunshine round the
haystack as they feed.’
‘Love’s Young Dream.’—A lad named Ward, aged 17
years, has eloped with and married a woman of 40, who liv
ed in a doctor’s family in New Haven. The poor boy had
not been accustomed to female society.
Mr. King's report says wild oats grow abundantly in Cali
fornia. Not to be wondered at. Many a papa has sent his
son to sow them.
We have heard of a man who is looking for a wife. We
learn that his fashion is, to fail in love first, and then find a
woman to match.

Godey’s Lady’s Book for 1850.
“The book of the Nation.” The oldest magazine in America
Published by the present proprietor for twenty years. Edit eel by Mrs.
Sarah .1. Hale.
COMPARISON BETWEEN “GODLY” Ann TIIE OTHER PHILADELPHIA
MOTHMKS.
In 1819, the Lady’s Book gave 918 pages—which is 11(5 more
than one, and 148 pages more than the other Philadelphia monthly.
He gave 281 engravings—.among which were 20 colored, and 93 full
page—which is 136 more than one, and 180 more than the other.
We gave in each number, a piece of music, printed separately or.
tinted paper, making 24 pages, or 12 p : "ces in a year. To show the ;
cheapness of the Lady’s Book, this san, r usic, if bought separately i
at the music stores, would cost exactly tne ice of the w hole year’s !

the above arc illustrated by engravings.
And, in 1850, will also be given a set of engravings, illustrative of
the costumes of all nations, with a description by Mrs. Hale. Most of !
the old features of the Book, that were so popular last year, will L- i
retained, and new ones added as they may sugg'-st themselves to the
publisher.
Anew novel, by W. Gilmore Simms will be one of the features for
1830.
Oi r Readino Matter. —We have long stood at the head of the
magazine world for our contributions; they are always moral and
instructive, and such as inay be placed before a family without hesi
tation., This department is under the control of Mrs. Sarah Josephs
Hale, whose name alone is a sufficient guarantee for the propriety of
the Lady’s Book. We may say the same of our engravings We
will never, as is done by a contemporary, publish indecent model-ar
tist pictures such as no parent would allow a child to look at.
Godey’s Lady’s Book for 1850 shall surpass that of 1849, and ex

tEducated at the Virginia Military Institute.
Two hundred and thirty Cadets from fifteen different States, have
entered this Institution since it was organized, in 1817. It is entire*
Ivfree from the control or domination of any sect or party, eilller po
litical or religious. Economy in dress, by the adoption of a chenpf
Uniform, fur Winter and Summer, is rigidly enforced. Ex'ery student
is required to select a College guardian, with whom all funds brought
or received must Ik* deposited, and no debt must be contracted w ithouf
the consent of such guardian.
An Institution combining the science ofthe West Point Academy
and of Polytechnic Institutes, with the classical literature of our issst
Colleges, adding the modern languages atul supeTaikting praetioai
schools of Law and Engineering, nearly realizes the long-felt desider
atum of a university able to meet the wants of Western progress—at
university where all may select a course of steady to suit their lime,-
means nnd professional destination.
Mr. Daviess, the Professor of I aw, is known is the various
Courts as a practitioner of great ability, varied learning, long experi
ence and exalted character. His eminent qualifications, the whcJo
some exercise and discipline of tbe Institute, and tbe convenient ob
servation of tbe forms of judicial proceeding, offer unusual induce

CIVIL ENGINEERING
! Will be thoroughly and jrract,rally taught in the Western Military tn
; stitute—the Professor, Col. Morgan. living one of the most skillful and
’ experienced Engineers in tint United States. All the instrument*con*
i nected with that department, have been procured at considerable cost,
■ and are ofthe best quality.
Tlie Superintendent Likes the liberty of stating that lie is now offer
ed $75 [ter month, for competent assistant Engineers. One of his for
mer pupils receives at this time $2,500 per annum, as Principal En
gineer of a Railroad now under construction in Kentucky—whilst
others of the same class are receiving in different parts of the United
States, $2,000, $1,500, or $1,200 a year as Assistant Engineers.
Tlie time is rapidly approaching when there will be a great demand
for such as have lieen prepared for that vocation, at the Western Mil
itary Institute. Nothing is hazarded in saying that they will readily
command $1,200 or $1,500 per annum. Ever)’ man of observation
must sit that the gigantic enterprises already proposed, will give birth
to hundreds of others, tributary to them. The rapid advancement of
onr whole country, and the eagerness of our people, for exploring the
hidden resources of the new States and the newly acquired territory,
will give ample sco|ie for ages to come, to the skill and enterprise of
the Engineer, the Geologist, the Mineralogist, tlie Surveyor and the
Architect. Young men who have an aptitude for the Mathematical
and Physical sciences will have a wide field opened to them for enga
ging in an honorable, a healthful and a lucrative pursuit, for which
they may be thoroughly and practically qualified, in a short time, and
at small expense, at the Western Military Institute.
