The Central American Question.
AV ASHiXGTON, Jamiaiy 14. —In the correspon
dence communicated to Congress, there is a letter
from Lord Clarendon, of May 2,1 strl, in replying
to Mr. Buchanan’s first ‘•statement”—for the last
he has never found it convenient to attempt to an
swer-—which maks a most extraordinary disclosure
as will be readily seen, when attention is invited
to the particular points. .Speaking of the British
construction of the treaty, in reference to the pro
tection of the Mosquitos’, he says, “ that within
little more than a month after the treaty of 1830
had been ratified,” further negotiations’ were en
tered into, and the ‘'British interpretation was
at once accepted bv the Secretary of State, Mr.
Webster.”
Now, when it is remembered that the ratifications
of the treaty were exchanged on the 4th of July
l'-fi, and that General Taylor died only a few days
after—-the Stth, 1 think—this development has a
most significant meaning. Mr. Webster was a mem
ber of the Senate when that treaty was submitted,
and advised its ratification, knowing full well that
no such construction as is now impudently set up
by the British Government was ever entertained on
either side during the negotiations. How, then,
he could have been so prompt to repudiate the
principle of his own vote, and, as an American
Secretary of State, the accept the terms of inter
pretation dictated to the British Minister, Sir Hen
ry Bulwer, is more than I shall undertake to ex
plain. The indecent haste of that act of repudia
tion, too - supposing the allegation to be true—
when General Taylor had been hardly two
weeks in his grave, and the ink of his signature
scarcely dry, excites mingled surprise and indig
nation.
Lord Clarendon has produced no evidence, to be
; sure, verifying such a concession from Mr. Web-
I ster ; but those who know the intimacy which sub
; sisted, between the latter and Sir Henry Bulwer,
! and who laid the opportunity of any appreciation
of the eminent skill, ability and perseverance of
the British negotiator, may rest satisfied he never
was content with any verbal assurance from Mr.
j Webster, but took occasion to obtain such a com
j initial as warranted the emphatic declaration of
Lord Clarendon.
And 1 have some personal reason to be satisfied
| of the justice of this impression, by the subsequent
j official action of Mr. Webster, which fully sanc
• tions all that lias been alleged. Two years after
I Lord Clarendon states that Mr. Webster allowed
| the British interpretation, the negotiations then
i referred to, were brought to a discreditable conclu
! sion here, through the joint agency of Mr. Webster
j and Mr. Crumpton.
A projet of settlement was agreed upon, which
i assumed to settle all the questions of contested
j boundary in Central America; which admitted the
| Mosquito (virtually the British) title to San Juan;
which conceded the British protectorate over the
j Mosquitos; and which undertook to direct the iu-
I ternal legislation of Nicaragua, by lixiug the ta
i rift’ of duties on importations into her territories.
• This scheme, which not only surrendered ihe whole
American side of the question, hut recognized even
more pretensions than Great Britain had ever pre
viously claimed, was signed in this city in June,
1-552, by the contracting parties named. Three
agents were appointed to communicate the terms
personally to the States interested. They were Mr.
Wyke, the British Consul General in Central
America, Mr. Kerr, United States Charge d’Af
fairs at Nicaragua, and Mr. K. M. Walsh, United
States Special Agent to Costa Rica. Representing
the two powerful governments most interested in
the questions at stake, and carrying with them the j
united authority of the negotiators, the mission :
was one which would have left no alternative to
the weak States interested but abject submission,
since they could command no power sufficient to ,
resist such a combination.
Reliable intelligence of this was commu
nicated to me at the time, and I at once disclosed i
it to the public. This summarily terminated the !
arrangement, as it could not stand the scrutiny of i
the country. My publications went to Central
America, in company with the three agents, mid
Nicaragua at. once rejected the offensive overture
for the spoliation of her territory, and tbe conver
sion of her sovereignty into a condition of vassal
age to Great Britain. While it would not be be-I
coming to reflect upon the motives of Mr. Webster
in this transaction, tlie disclosure of it belongs lo I
the diplomatic history of the Central American •
controversy, and could not be suppressed with jus- j
lice. He is dead, but the President under whose
instructions he acted is living, and owes it to his i
reputation to explain, if he can, how this monstrous
perversion of ISA'was brought about, and under
what inspiration the British construction was ac
cepted before General Taylor w as hardly cold in his
grave.
There was treachery somewhere, if there was
not something worse, and it is proper the country
should know upon whose shoulders the responsi
bility really rests. And if Mr. Fillmore should
feel called upon to make the explanation which he
owes to the country in this matter, it is to be hoped \
it will be guarded by more careful examination
than that which marked his positive and unquali
fied disclaimer in reference to the antecedent coun
tenance extended to the guano enterprise in the
hobos Islands —thereby putting the whole onus on i
Mr. Webster’s memory when it is well ascertain
ed now that the original instructions, with his au
tograph approval endorsed upon the back of them,
vet exist in the Department of State, and have
been seen with astonishment by several curious
explorers after truth.
Tub Central American Question. The reader
will not fail tube impressed with the statements of
the letter to tbe Philadelphia (lazetie, which we
copy. Hints of the transaction alluded to were
published at the time of tiie negotiation between j
Mr. Crompton and Mr. Webster; but as the ar
rangement blew up at the merest touch of public
opinion, it has been in a great measure lost sight
of, and has never been fully laid open as in the let
ter to which we refer. This passage in our diplo
macy adds another complication to the Central
American Question ; and while these obscure do
ings of Mr. Webster cannot in any way authorita
tively hind the United States, still they seetn to
impose a certain degree of reserve in regard to the
assertion of any extreme position, and they afford
an explanation of the otherwise unaccountable po
sition which the British Government lias taken in
regard to the Clayton-liulwcr Treaty.

Marriages of Slaves.
A standing topic of argument against slavery,
with the abolitionists those at least who pretend J
at all to argument is the assertion that it virtually '
ignores or disregards the marital tie. Admitting j
the utmost possible force in the argument, it could i ‘
be met by counter statements against any form and
mode of labor, for the separation of husband and
wife, is a common incident in the hireling white
and black, no less than to the slave. M e couldap- •
peal, also, to the experience of all Southern observ
ers. in proof that itiir slaveholders and planters ; j
generally, wore anxiously disposed to respect and :
protect the marital relations of slaves, and that
more difficulty is found in educating and training ’
the slaves themselves to regard it, than in protect
ing it when established on a good basis. We in
troduce the matter, however, only to mention a
fact, lately brought to our notice, which speaks
more than* any assertions could, a.- to ihe relative
attachments of the negro.
The case to which we refer is, briefly, a v olunta
ry and mutual dissolution and rupture of a mar- I
nage of fifty years’ happy and agreeable duration
between slaves; and this was by the consent of
both parties, each preferring to sever this relation j
rather than to leave the master’s family, although j
the option was left to each and either —as is most
generally the case. The circumstances were these;
The wife was an old nurse and “ mamma’, of a
family migrating to Florida, and had for. years
! lived in a condition of indulgence and ease, Defter
than could have been possible had she been free
. actually, as she was virtually. On the closing of
an estate by sale for division, under our laws, she
was necessarily offered for sale, and was purchased
by the son of the mistress, to whom she had been |
. nurse and favorite maid.
This gentleman, who had often in his boyish
days received at her bauds the rod, which the wise
king recomnu uds.as a sovereign specific for the
foolishness of childhood, very naturally and char
acteristically offered her freedom, so far as it could
be done, and gave her the choice of three residen
ces for life, and at the same time promised ample
and abundant comforts To his surprise hei an
swer was, “ No, Maussa, 1 goes wid you to the I
new country. 1 ’ H-told her of her husband, and
again asked her to choose a nominal master and
protector in the neighborhood, and one- of these ■
places offered to her, was the plantation on which
her husband lived.
rile 1 persisted that her first choice was to follow
\ her master, when he immediately resolved to pur
chase her husband, whose owner was equally anx
j ioua to protect and spare the marital tie of a vete
ran servant. The bargain was soon settled be
tween the masters, for both slaves were too old to
have been worth any consideration under any other
system but the permanent tie of slavery ; but an
! unexpected difficulty occurred. The husband
stoutly refused to leave his master’s family, and
protested that deeply and long as he had loved
his wife, he could not leave his home to follow
her.
Slate the naked proposition that a husband and
wife of such age and qualities had been separated,
and abolitionism would at once find matter for
tear-moving homilies. Vet here is one plain ease,
of verv late occurrence, in which such a separation
occurred against the desires and intention of two
slaveholders, and by the alternative choice of two
: slaves.

A Novel Telegraph Meeting.— A meeting of the
Magnetic Telegraph Company, I the line running
between Washington and New York was called
for Thursday last, in Washington city and several
of the directors started for the purpose of attend
: ing at the appointed time, but owing to the terri
ble condition of the railroads, their project was
“nipped in the bud,” just as their toes and fingers
were nipped by the frost, in consequence of un
dergoing considerable detention and exposure
in the snow banks along the route, in trains which
were compelled ultimately to return whence they
; started.
But, the fast men of the telegraph were not to
! be thus thwarted by those lesser agents, the rail
■ road; those indeed who had subdued one great
elemental principle to their purposes, were not to
have its power and influence wrested away on that
occasion at least by another—so the President of
the Company made a telegraphic c-ail for a meeting
: at 12 o’clock, noon, on Saturday last, the directors
to be at their respective offices in the different ci
ties to transact the business by the same lightning
agency. At the appointed hours tfie President
took the chair in Philadelphia, and the directors in
Washington, Baltimore, Wilmington and New
! York promptly answered to the call of the roll,
when the business commenced. Resolutions were
proposed, and motions were made in one city, and
seconded and debated in the others with as much
promptness as though all had been present, in one
room. In the course of about two hours the busi
j m*ss was all transacted, a dividend declared, and
; the meeting adjourned. — Rich. Dispatch.
Fashions fob January. —Cloth dresses are more
than ever in demand; they are composed of a
skirt fastened round the waist with a buckle be
hind ; tlie cosaque has turned bnsaques, in which
! are two pockets —one for tbe pocket-handerchief,
' and the other for the porte-monnuie. Half pagode
sleeves, with slashed cuffs and large jet buttons on
each band. The body is closed at front, with vel
i vet brawl ebon rgs and buttons. The collar is also
of velvet, and "lined with satin. The rotondes, or
small velvet talmas, are much in demand, and the
irumtoiii.r-bn.rnon’i are still in favor for sortie debal
I or evening parties; they are generally made of
i Angora cloth, and trimmed with passementeries in
ihe Oriental style. The moire antique was never
! in greater vogue than at present. The taffetas is
not less in favor than moire antique, droguets and
taffetas; they are trimmed with passementerie and
lace.
Bonnets are still worn very far back on the head.
The trimmings vary according to taste. We have
lately seen, among very elegant ones, one formed
of ruby velvet, with a thin front; on each side
was a tuft formed of short curled feathers, the
same color as the'Jvelvet; and round the front
edge a deep black lace, which was thrown back,
and fell over the curtain. Inside the front was a
roll of velvet, accompanied with u sky-blue hang
ing flowers. Another was composed of a ground
of a light bine color, covered bv ribbons, crossed
and attached by little steel buckles. On each
side were bunches of pink lilies of the valley,
some branches of which were placed across the
curtain. The heavy bonnets of the present sea
r-oil surpass any tiling of the kind yet seen, both
for the elegance of shape and beauty of ornaments.
Died with the Gold.—A free negro, with uo
master but himself, who neglected or did not know
lion to take proper care of himself, was found, on
Thursday morning, tlie 17 th inst.,dead in his room,
at New Brooklyn, where he had retired (he night
before, hungry and cold, and without food and
lire. He hail been down all day among tlie Aboli
tionists in Brooklyn, trying to get a job of shovel

would lend him one, he could get no work nor
money, and so lie went home and died, just as all
his race will, sooner or later, in this cold climate.

THE CRITERION ;
A LITERARY AND CRITICAL WEEKLY JOURNAL,
16 Pages, 4 to,
WAS commenced on the third of November,
1855, and has thus far received very gen
eral approbation. Anxious to extend its influence,
and place it upon a substantial basis of support,
the Publisher desires most earnestly to direct the
attention of the thinking public of America to its
claims upon their consideration.
The main feature of the CRITERION is its Re
views of Current Literature. In this department
are given thorough and able criticisms of all the
most important books as they are issued, pointing
out their chief characteristics, and indicating their
moral tendencies, thus keeping its readers inform
ed of all new publications which deserve their at
tention.
IT ALSO CONTAINS
Copious Intelligence of Affairs in the Literary ;
World ; Gossip concerning Books and Writers; :
Announcements of contemplated Publications; and ;
Lists of New Books issued in America and Europe.
The Drama, Music, Fine Arts and Science, also
receive attention, and several columns of carefully
selected and agreeable matter are given in each
number. In addition to the above .there is a de
partment of Miscellanea for reading, of an enter
taining character, carefully selected from new books
and the ablest reviews, and a weekly collection of
Notes and Queries, which contains a great variety
of curious and valuable information.
It is confidently believed that a journal such as
the CRITERION, cannot fail to have a good effect ;
upon our national literature, and to some extent <
upon our national character. It will be found e>- 1
peciallv valuable in directing the attention of youth
to works of real excellence, and encouraging an j
appreciation for valuable reading, which is being 1
rapidly destroyed by the circulation of superficial
and sophistical books. To the reading man the i
literary intelligence alone must render it very do- |
siral>le; and to all who wish to promote an im
provement in taste, the encouragement of merit, i
and an uncompromising condemnation of vicious !
style, tnock sentiment, and evil principles, such an !
enterprise cannot—at least, should not- —be indif- j
ferent.
To members of Historical, Literary aud Scikx- ;
ttpic Societies, Lyceums and Debating Clubs,!
the subjects discussed in this paper will, at. all 1
times, prove of peculiar interest, and it is the de
sign of the editors to thoroughly canvass, from
time to time, those important philosophical ques- i
lions which agitate nil inquiring minds, correcting j
false theories, and encouraging profitable iuvesti- j
gat ion.
The CRITERION is published at $3 per annum, !
payable yearly, half yearly, or quarterly, in ad- j
ranee. Specimen copies supplied, on application !
to the Publisher. CHARLES R. RODE,

TIHE undersigned having permanently located
as Teachers, respectfully solicit the patronage
of their friends and the public generally. From
several years’ experience in teaching, and a con
stant attention to the duties of their profession,
they flatter themselves that the system of instruc
tion which they are now prepared to give Students
pursuing a regular classical course, cannot he sur
passed by any similar Institution in the State. To
parents, therefore, designing to give their sous a
Collegiate education, their services are especially
tendered, since a thorough acquaintance nith the
preparatory studies is indispensable to the Stu
dent’s progress throughout his whole course. Their
Academy Pupils will be prepared to enter the high
er classes of College, or if preferred, thoroughly
instructed in a more practical and business course.
The accessibility, health and quietness of theii
locution—its freedom from scenes and causes ol
dissipation—induce them to hope for a continuance
of that liberal patronage, which for many years
they have not failed to secure.
A strict regard will he paid to moral training,
and the general deportment of each pupil carefully
observed.
The Academics for the Male and Female pupils
are separate also, their Boarding Houses, while
the government, discipline, course of studies, Ac.,
of both departments, will be under the control ami
supervision of the Principal.
Although not required, it is preferred that pupils
he boarded with the Teachers.
