C. Dtlii's Projects ia Nicaragua anti Central America. There can be no dmihtth.nt the proceedings of Monsieur Belly, the pseudo agent of the French Emperor in Nicaragua, have been without the authority and are without the sanction of the French government. Involving as the operations of this personage did, if they had been official, a clear violation of the well-known policy ot this government in regard to European colonization amljthe establishment of exclusive Etiropeanj uris- diclion on this continent, it was not to have been supposed that the French government could have authorieed the action which has been taken by him in Nicaragua, Hut our Secretary ot State has not been left to friendly conjectures on this sub ject for the French government lias been very prompt to tender the fullest and most satisfactory disavowals or all complicity in tbo recent trans- aetions-of M. Belly in the premises. That person age is not in Nicaragua in the character ot a diplo matist or agent of his government; but only as an nsr ajieoiity. * LAWS OF THE UNITED STATES rub: 51.

His operations in Nicaragua, therefore, at once sink from the dignity of a groat national movement efthe French government into the proportions of a private speculation of a French adventurer.

The citizens were alarmed by negro's cries, which were made about half-past eleven o'clock at night. He had been taken up and imprisoned only the day before. The jailor, with all haste that he could possibly make, ran to the jail, which appeared to be tired on the inside and the expenses incident to their pursuit; the following expenditures required for the two regiments of dragoons, the two regiments of caval ry, the regiment of mounted riflemen, and such he mounted, viz. _ n , blacksmiths' and shoeing tools, horse and mule shoes and nails, iron and steel for shoeing, line of veterinary surgeons, medicines for horses and mules, picket ropes, and shoeing the horses of those corps, five hundred thousand dollars.

Dt Ait Sin :—I feel that it is a duty to suffering hu manity, that I should give a relation of the great bene fits 1 have derived from the use of Ferry Davis's Fain Killer. I ^ast summer I had the misfortune to lose two of my children by that dreadful scourge—the cholera— and in all human probability should have fallen a victim to the pestilence myself if a kind Providence had not provided me a help in the hour of need. I first became acquainted with the Fain Killer whilst travelling on the river *ith my husband. A gentleman passenger had Some with him which he recommended in the highest terms as a remedy for cholera. I thought no more of it at the time, but tho same night I was attacked by the cholera iu its worst form. I resorted to various reme dies used to arrest its progress, but all iu vain. I w as seized with violent cramps, and iny discharges began to assume the same character us did those of my dear chil dren previous to their death, I was lo< iked upon as lost, I all at once thought of the FAIN KILLER. My hus band obtained thejbottle from onr fellow passenger and administered to me a dose. 1 exjicricnced almost im mediately a cessation of pain. The dose was repeated at intervals of fifteen minutes, four or five times, ami the result was my complete recovery. I feel confident that I owe my file to the Pain Killer, aud only regret that I had not have known of its extraordinady virtues earlier I then might have saved the lives of iny dear chidron. Since that time 1 have used the Fain Killer in my fam ily extensively,and the more I use it, the better I like it. As a greut family medicine it has no equal. SARAH SANDEHBEKY, St. Louis. I beg leave to corroberate the above statement of iny wife in every particular, and would further state that nflera long experience on the Western waters, I have never met with u medicine so well adapted f< irsteamboat men and steamboat pass* ngersnstlie Fain Killer.

We have no organs to comprehend the reasoning by which such a position is defended. There is certainly no warrant for the conclusion in the sec tion we have quoted, nor in the act of which it is a part. That the legislature lmd tiie right to make | the requisition is a proposition which will not ad mit of argument. A bank is an institution created solely for the public benefit. No consideration of individual interests could ever induce the legisla ture to convey to a body of men such important franchises. The old idea that a charter is a c ntraet and therefore, cannot he taken away without a violation of the constitution is fast yielding to the advance of truth, and will, in due time, be swept^ away by an enlightened judicature. That which is organized and set ill motion for the public benefit should, in rig-lit and reason, be limited in its duration by that benefit. If the legislature is to be denied this supervisory care of irs own creatures, it were better—far better that, it lie de prived of tiie power of creating. It cannot barter away the people’s right of self-defence. In the power to destroy is included the power to limit and control. With regard to banks the legislature has seen proper to exercise only the latter. In the obligations which it has imposed we see nothing harsh or unreasonable; and if there was, their discharge should be enforced so long as the law appropriated, to be paid out of any remained upon the statute book. In these rc- tbuugh slutteriugly whispered, “Mamma prayed for you last night.” and then disappeared aa noiselessly as he had come. Thauk God, thought we. for that mother's pray er! And though years have passed since then— though we have bustled through noisy incidents, and mingled in life’s struggles, as 'vve are all forced to do,—a remembrance of that “Mamma prayed for yon,” still sounds as grateful and as sweet as when it first fell from the lips of that in nocent boy.

The Crittenden Ovations.—The opposition pa pers are filled with glowing accounts of the little popular demonstrations which have greeted Hon. JohnJ. Crittenden at several points altng the line of his homeward journey from Washington. According to these, no Roman conqueror, return ing from some “world-o’erthrowing fight,” laden with spoils of vanquished nations, and dragging a score of captured Kings and potentates at Iris chariot wheels, even received a more flattering reception from his fellow citizens. The description of his triumphal march from Cincinnati to Frankfort, has inspired the rattling skeleton of lllnggery with a sort of galvanic and spasmodic vitality, and its old men begin again to see visions and to prognosticate the downfall of De mocratic power. The matter is fixed.

Alas, poor Fillmore 1 how soon art thou forgot. But a few short years airo, and the whole country leverberated with glorias in ezeetsis to Millard Fill more, the double distilled essence of unadulter ated patriotism—the corporeal embodiment of all that was sound, conservative and patriotic—the impersonation of administrative wisdom and ca pacity—in short, a colossal giant of moral gran deur and sublimity of character; who, by the puis- ance of his mighty arm, could lift a whole nation up to the same “high empyrean” of poliiical ex cellence in which his own ’mmaculate spirit floats.

The Washington Uni n, says; By ten o’clock at least one hundred persons, were in the hall, a number of them ladies. They were of all ages; and though dilligeutly searched for, tiie “Middle-aged Man,” could not be found. The interest manifested in the sale, the patience with which the spectators and the purchasers fol lowed the auctioneer from desk to desk and chair to chair was worth}' of imitation. This furniture was all of solid mahogany, and the prices, instead of being uncommonly low, exceeded the expecta tions of many who thought to procure groat bar gains. A considerable portion of it was in a damage condition; and so great was the competi tion, where competition was least expected, that a single arm-chair with a writing accompani ment was knocked down at ten dollars and a quar ter, instead of the fiie or six dollars that the purchaser had mado up his mind to give. Those old chairs, many of them with screws loose, brought an average of thre" dollars apiece, and the carpet was sold at about eight cents a yard. The opening announcement of the auctioneer. Three days later from Europe. Arrival of the Fulton. Cape Race, July 10.—The U. S. M. steamship Fulton arrived off Cape Race to-day. She brings Havre dates to the 20th and Liverpool to the 3oth nit. She experienced heavy westerly winds but saw no ice. The steamer Fulton saw nothing of the cable fleet on her passage. A New York correspondent of the Boston Jour nal writes: Business is dull—very dull. Hundreds of young men have no work. Four thousaud clerks have iett the city for want of employment. Fine look ing, intelligent and capable young men, take any menial services rather than not have work to do. Our young man, a capable book-keeper, may be seen daily on a dray, with Ills horse, getting a liv ing ou tiiat plan. At no time since the panic be gan, have “times” been ss hard for men of mod erate means. We have a great many of your Bos ton young men here, out of employment, who left good, comfortable sitnations at the East, at tracted by the glare and temptation of New York. Mony of them wish themselves at home. All bus- in< ss is overdone—tiie law, physic, merchandise, trade, clerkships—ail but preaching. If any man, lit smart,” wants to come into the mission field of our city, work like a galley slave, aud get his “victuals and his ciothes,” the first scanty, aud the last coarse, ho can come to New York and get employment. All others had better stay away. A Singular Coincidence.—Not the least of all the memorable incidents of the day is the fact that, while two brothers were suspended from two of the most important dioceses in the Episcopal Church in this country, in the run to elect their successors in office, with years intervening, two brothers succeeded and two brothers were defeat ed. The suspended brothers were the Rt. Rev. II. F. and B. T. Onderdonk, two brothers who were consecrated respectively Bishops of Pennsylvania and New York, A. D., J827 and 1839—some thirty years ago—and are now consequently venerable with the snows of many winters. The two suc cessful candidates for their official position were tho two brothers, the Rev. Drs. Alonzo and Hora tio Potter. Tho two defeated candidates for the same honor are the two brothers, the Rev. Dr Frank Vinton, of New York, and the Rev. Dr. Aiex. II.

After a momeut's pause, one of them went "a dollar-and-a-half," a second feebly cried out “a dollar seventy-five,” whilst a third articulated “two dollars.” It was here that we thought the bidding would cease, so long did the auctioneer dwell upon that word “two dollars, going, going, going.” but just as tiie word gone, was struggling for utterance, a fourth gentleman bid, “two-and-a-quarter,” and the desk was sold The desk and chair occupied by Hon. John Quincy Adams brought $50. The bidding for Jftis turniture was quite animated, and it was re marked by the by.standees, that in Massachusetts it would command $'>00. The desks occupied by Col' Benton and Mr. McDffie of Soutli Carolina brought $6 25 apice; the desk occupied by Go- onel Brooks ruu up to $9, and that used by Govenor Wise, sold for $7. Upon the remainder of the furniture the bidding was very brisk, and the competition became very great. We under stand that tbo total sales amounted to between two and three thousand dollars. Something to Feel Glad About.—Sitting in our sanctum, says the ediior of the Leavenworth Times, now some years past on a cold aud blus tering autunm day, wo were attracted by the entrance of a bright-eyed, thoughtful littieboy, but tinily clad, who told the story of “no father— family sick—out of employment,” &c. We were at first disposed to express a mock sympathy, and say we could do nothing: hut the boy’s largo ey« were so swimming with tears, and lie so trembled from bead to foot, while his conduct and demeanor bore such a.i impress of truthfulness sincerity, that vve could not find it iu our heart to speak hatshlv, and finally dismissed him with quite a handsome little sum, contributed in the main by our printers—who, by the way, are pro verbial, the world over, for generosity. The next evening we were somewhat surprised to find the little fellow once hanging diffidently about our office door. This time, however, his eyes were bright with happiness, and • sweet smile played over and lit up his handsome features. We asked him to come in. but he merely stopped forward timidly, so as to catch our ear, aud earnestly remarkable occurrence.—An exchange paper : “a few nights since a L'nited States soldier, bound with hiscompany for Leavenworth. Kansas, accidentally fell off the railroad bridge, at Har per's Ferry, into tiie Potamac liver, a distance of thirty feet. The night being dark, the soldier came out of the ear and walked off the platform upon what he supposed to he the ground, until he found himself in chaos. When he struck the water his hat floated down the stream, and when the soldier blew tiie water from his mouth, instead of making immediately for shore, lie swam after his beaver, caught it, and paddled towards shore witiiont a tch. This feat astonished all who witnessed it, and created a tremenduous excitement. A just sentence.—At the recent term of the Cir cuit Glourt of Montgomery county, a man by the name of Watson was fined three hundred and fif ty dollars for whipping his wife; and another man by the name of Myriek was fined five hundred dol lars for not clothing his negroes In botli of these cases we say the sentence was just. We know nothing of the facts in the case, hut from the heavy fine imposed we are inclined to think it was very aggravated. Macon Gas Company.—The State Press represents the (Lis business in Ma con to he in <i prosperous condition .and pnjing 12 per cent on the capital stock.— This prosperity docs not date very far back, and is said to result from the change of rosin to wood gas, the latter being found more brilliant as well as much more eco nomical in many respects. The change vve learn from private sources, has added at least G per cent, to the net income of the company. Mr. Editor:—On tho 5th day of July, I ex hibited in my garden, at Genevia.
