I told him I desired to ascertain whether tie statement he had made in the House of Lords : ai the evening of Thursday, the 81st ultimo, that ! British government hadmade the Americangov ■‘tiient an offer, which has been recently renewed, arbitrate the Central American questions, was j ■t ied on what had passed between him and niy '“ ■.lll conversation ; or whether lie bad instruct - dr Crampton to make to you, in writing, a "tial proposal for arbitration. He replied that ' s'avment was founded on our different conver- ! " as; and that in these he had proposed to me ' •ierence of these questions to arbitration ; and ; •■■xpr.'ssed the hope that I had communicated propositions to my government. I informed him ■ ’ had laithtully reported to you all the eonver , " " e had held iu reference to an arbitration ; • “ 1 oad not believed that what he had said ■ acre occasions amounted to such an offer as ~ii be recognised by our government as a fouti • ntv s pec i tic action on so graven matter. I ■ - • J that j did no r doubt you were of the same : inmn, as I had never received a line from you , ‘■uojeet. He observed that before hold- L conversations with me he had cou • ■'“ the cabinet and spoke their senti tii'.s a < well as his own. I remarked that ' tact iiad now, for the first time, been commu ‘ e ‘ to me. If he had informed nte of it at ■ -ime, this would have given his conversation a character, and caused it to make a V on my mind. He said he had vd* as a nla tter course, 1 would con -tr wh&t he said to me had been after coasulta •. i CR binet. In reply, 1 observed that I nought when one nation desired to propose * a ’ !l * r 'he submission of »n international dis pute to arbitration, this would be done bv writing and in due form. B>uch had been their own course • when they proposed to arbitrate the Oregon ques ; tion. Besides, the President might, if he thought j pr '’P er ’ c, : r ! s l uh Senate on the question ; and what would be thought bv that bodv if such a pro position were presented to them in ‘the loose form : of various conversations between him and mvself j which, after, all, I might, through mistake or inad | verteuce, not have reported correctlv? He said that what lie had done he considered the prelimi , narv step; and if our government had indicated any satisfaction with it, thev would have been pre pared to proceed further; but from what I had •e.,,1 to him,,he did not think thev had received much encouragement. I told him that whenever 1 had spoken to him upon the subject, 1 had always ! careful to assure him that I was expressing my own individual sentiments, without any instruct turns or information from my government; and that these remained unchanged. I also observed • n»u his last letter to me, finally' deriving our con i '•'ruction of the treaty, and forming an issue be tween the two governments, might appropriately have continued a proposition for arbitration; and iJ u “ lis nianner the question might have been Drought in regular form before our government, i He then, for the first time, informed me that he had addressed a despatch to Mr. Crumpton on the subject, with instructions to him to read it to you. He then sent for it and read it to me. I believe it j is dated in November; but a copy being doubtless i;i your possession, it will speak for itself; and he informed me that all you had said about it to Mr. . < irampton was, that the matter was in Mr. Buch -1 a nan’s hands. He proceeded to express a decided opinion iu fa- i vor of arbitration, and said that when two friendly . governments disagreed upon the construction of a • treaty, the natural and appropriate course was to ' t efer the question to a third friendly power. He I had ever firmly believed their construction of the treaty to be correct. He then requested me to ■ communicate to you their proposals for an arbitra- • tion, and how anxious they were that the question might be settled in this manner. I told him I j should cheerfully comply with his request, but re- j peated that my own individual opinions remained 1 unchanged. 1 considered the language of the treaty too clear for serious doubt; and such I be lieved was the opinion of public men of all parties j in the United States. This had been evinced by j the recent debate in the Senate on the President’s message. Besides, the difficulty of selecting a j suitable sovereign as an arbitrator, seemed insur mountable. But 1 said this was a question for my , government, and not for mvself. *-*•**'**** Yours, very respectfully, James Buchanan". lion. William L. Marcy, Secretary of State. Mr. Crumpton to Mr. Marry.

My Dear Sir: Observing that some misappre hension seems to exist as to the offer made bv Lord Clarendon to Mr. Buchanan, to submit the points regarding the interpretation of the Claytnu-Bulwer treaty, upon which the two goverameiits disagree, to arbitration, 1 think it w ell to send you the en closed despatch, which 1 received from Lord Clar endon on the subject in December last. I regret not having made you this communication before; but the truth is, that the last paragraph of the de spatch escaped my attention until 1 referred to it lately ; and, as 1 was aware that the negotiation of the question regarding Central America was in Mr. Buchanan's and Lord Clarendon’s hands, I considered the despatch as meant merely for my own information as to what was going forward up on it subject in regard to which 1 inferred you wero already informed.

Sir: Mr. Buchanan having, in the course of conversation a few days ago, adverted to the im oression that would be created in the United States by the non-settlement of the Central American question, I again assured hiiu that Bngland bad no wish to extend her influence, or to obtain any ter ritory, in that t>nrt of the world; and 1 reminded him that, as the difference between this country and the United States turned solelr upon the in terpretation of the treaty of 1850, 1 hud offered, on the part of her Majesty’s government, to submit the ease to the arbitration of a third power, but that he had declined the offer. Her Majesty’s gov ernment, I said, would still abide bv that offer, and thought it would be the fairest and most ami cable manner of arriving at a settlement of the question. Mr. Buchanan said he would make it known to his government, and you are instructed to commu nicate this despatch to Mr. Marcy.

Editors: The following preamble and 1 resolutions were adopted by the “ Atlanta Compa- t nv of Emigrants for Kansas Territory,” at a meet ing held by them tit Hayden’s Hall, on the evening 1 of the 29th ult. t The meeting was numerously attended by the 1 citizens ladies and gentlemen—and speeches de- i iivered by Messrs. Jones, Bell, Cowart and Glenn. 1 From the manifest interest evinced by the citi- | zetis in favor of the movement, il is confidently ex- t nected that Atlanta will he fullv represented in Kansas, and will do her full duty in the support of • Southern Rights in the coming contest. The following are the officers chosen for the Com- i pany: Batt Jones, Captain: Mat-genius A. Bell, < Secretary ; Daniel Pittman, Batt Jones, Margenius A. Bell, Committee on Finance. I The Committee on Finance will control all money committed to their care, in a manner to dispel even : a shadow of a doubt as to its faithful application 1 to the legitimate purposes and objects expressed in t the resolutions. ; , It is hoped that a liberal contribution will be , i given in aid of this Company—for the peace, equal- ; ity and prosperity of our common country. Ac tion is now the spell-ujord of patriotism—let the ■ whole South act, and her rights and her honor shall he respected : : Whereat, The admission of Kansas Territory in- i to the Union as a free State, will destroy the bal ance of power between tho several States, which are already in an excited condition of aggravated j dissension from which the destruction of the Con stitution, the subversion of the government, and all the horrors of civil war, are likely to ensue: j And whereas, The safety of our Southern institu tions, and the peace and quiet of all truly patriotic, libertv-loving, and law-abiding citizens are endan gered, and in our opinion, doomed to suffer mate rially or be totally destroyed by the intermeddling ! and aggressive policy of Abolition fanatics : And whereas, The geographical situation, and the adap tation of its soil to southern institutions and south ern products, combine to make it a State in which slave labor can be profitably and beneficially em ployed by all the citizens of the South: Ami where as, The first setilers and original pioneers of that ) territory were slave-holders, and so unanimously declared themselves immediately after the organi- ; zation of said Territory, and believing, as we do, j i thev are the only people who can justly determine j the domestic institutions of that territory; be it, , ; therefore, lit. lived, U.q That each member of this Compa- j nv will lawfully exert himself to the utmost, to sc- j j cure the admission of Kansas Territory into the , Union as a slave State. Resolved, id, That, individually, and as a compa- j nv of true patriotic men, who have the safety and ; honor of our country and her institutions at heart, i we will do all that we can do to prevent the adniis- j sion of said Territory into the Union as a free j State, a result to be greatly deplored by all the j good and true, and especially by all genuine south- ' i ern men. Rt salved, 3 d. That as the geographical situation, and soil of said Territory, are naturally und pecu liarly adapted to slave labor, southern institutions I and products, that it does, bv right and every prill- j ctple of justice, belong to the South—and'to the * South alone -and that we will resist, at all hazards, i any unlawful attempt to make it a free State. Resulted, 4th, That we highly commend and ap prove the brave sons of Missouri for the gallant stand and unflinching courage, which they have taken and evinced in defending southern rights ; and we now declare our firm and unalterable in tention to stand by her side in aiding the people of Kansas Territory’in enforcing their laws, and in the maintenance of the laws and Constitution of ; the United States.

Paul, the well-known shot, came out with a banter in the papers, offering a number of propositions, on each of which he set forth his wil lingness to stake $5,000 that he could win. We ! Eire four or five of his propositions : 1. I will fit a dollar to the end of a twig, two , inches long, and while a second person will hold j the other end in Isis mouth, so as to bring the coin | within an inch and a half of his face, 1 engage to strike the dollar three times out of five, at the dis > tances of ten paces or thirty feet. I will add, in i explanation, that there are several persons willing j and ready to hold the twig or stick described above : when required. i 2. At the word, I will split three balls out of ; five, on a knife blade, placed at the distance of i thirty feet. j I "dll hit three birds out of five, sprung from I ; the trap, standing thirty feet from the trap when i I shooting. 4.

Moreover, I will produce two persons | willing and ready to hold the apple on their heads i I for trie when required to do so. ! reading this banter, the inimitable wag, Jxo. I ! Phihnix, came out with a series of counter propo- I \ sitions, which are laughably droll. He says: 1. I will suspend two dollars by a ring from a j second person’s nose, so as to bring the coins with- ! in three-fourths of an inch of his face; and with a | double-barrel shot gun, at a distance of thirty feet, i will blow dollars, nose and man, at least thirty i'eet further, four times out of five. 1 will add, in explanation, that in San Diego, containing a rather intelligent community, lean find, at present, no j one here willing or ready to have his nose blown m this manner; but I have no manner of doubt 1 j I could obtain sucli a person from St. Louis, bv i Adams A Co.’s Express, in due season. 2. At the word, I will place five balls on the blade j of a pen knife, and will split them all! 3. 1 will lilt three men out of five sprung from obscure parentage, and stand within ten feet of a steal trap (properly set) while shooting! 4. I will break, at the word, a whole box of com mon clay pipes, with a single brick, at the distance of thirty feet. 5. f engage to prove, by fair trial, that no pistol shot or other (or other person) can be produced who will throw more apples at a man's head than I can. Moreover, I can produce in this town more than sixty persons willing and ready to hold an apple on their heads for me, provided they are al lowed to eat the apple subsequently.

Betting on “Pars.” A man about forty years of age, with brilliant ly illuminated neckerchief, and the rest of his cos tume in a gone-to-seed condition, appeared at the Buffalo Police Court a short time ago, and walked doubtfully within the bur. Some business being transacted, he waited anxiously until it was finish ed, and then walked up to the desk, saying : “Judge, I wants warrant.” The J ustice, who w'as busy making out some “ delivery papers” for an individual wno bad just been convicted of something, merely said, “Eh! what V” and went on cirographing bis irrevocable edicts. After some time “Seedy” broke out again, with “Squire, I want a warrant.” “Well,’ said the Justice, very blandly, “and what do you want a warrant for?” “ For false pretenses,” said Seedy ; “ a man”-- “ Well, wel., but bold on! who is the individ ual you wish to arrest?” “ It was Jimpson and be went and”— “ Well, now stop,” said the Justice, waxing im patient, “vou just answer my questions and we will have it straight. Now what did Jimpson do?” “Wall, you see Judge, he comes false pretenses on me. I was just going to roost, and you see, Squire, Jimpson met me in the hall, and says he, ' Lank,’ says he, * come into my room and have a little game of bluff’ 1 told him I know’ll nothin’ about bluff] and he said he’d show me, so 1 went in.” “And what did you do then ¥” said tke Justice, becoming interested. “Wall, Jimpson showed me bow they bet on pars, and them as had the most purs took the pile what was up. 1 won two or three pots, and then Jimpson won a small one. “Well,” said the Justice, screwing his chair nearer to the applicant for a warrant for falsi- pre tenses, “well ?” “Then Jitnpson he dealt, and 1 sware es thar warn’t three queens in my hand. 1 says, ‘Lank, I’ll bet ten dollars on three pars’ and says Jimp son, says he, ‘An’ I’ll sec that ar’ an’ I’ll go you ten dollars better.” “Yfell, go. on,” said the Squire, getting more and more interested—“what then?” “Then 1 got a little ski-art, but I knode that three queens was a blessed good hand, ’cause Jimpson said at first that them as had the most pars took the pot, ami l went him ten dollars bet ter.” “Well, what then,” said the Justice, rising and leaning over the side of the. Justices’ box, “what then ?” “ Wall, Jimpson he looked at his hand again, laughed and said, ‘ l see that ar, am! I’ll go vou twenty dollars better— and can you beat four kings?’ said Jimpson. That skeart me worse’ll ever, as 1 knode three queens couldn’t beat four kings, and so I didn’t bet -und be took down the pile; and now 1 want a warrant on Jimpson for false pretenses.” “ \ ou can’t have it,” thundered the Justice “on what grounds do you claim one?” “Wall, Squire, you see, Jimpson asked me if 1 could beat four kings, and 1 knodc three queens”— “On wliat grounds do you claim a warrant you lost the money, didn’t vou?” said the Justice. ] “Yes, but you see, 1 nelt three queens, and J imp- ; son asked me if I could heat four kings—and I ] knode three queens wouldn’t beat four kings, so I throde up and he took down the pile. And he nev- j el- had four kings and consequently he obtained . my money on false pretenses. Give us a warrant Squire.” “ What did Jimpson hold?” said the Squire. “ He never belt nothing but two little par!” The complanaut narrowly dodged a whack from j a tremendous fist, as the Justice sank into an | armchair with a sig, while the victim went off la- j menting and execrating the law that did not allow 1 a man to seize the pot when he ‘belt’ three queens, ; and a law that permitted another fellow to pull j down the pile hen he ‘belt but two par!’ The must extraordinary discovery in the World is the Great Arabian Remedy for Man and Beast. H. G. FARRELL’S CELEBRATED ARABIAN LINIMENT. IIIHE beautiful and fertile region skirting the B. desert of Arabia, abounds with rare plants and odorous woods, whence are procured those aro- ; matic gums and balsams of which this Liniment is composed, and by wl7o.se stimulating, unctuous and ■ penetrating properties it is, when applied, diffused ; through the whole nervous system, allaying the ; most intense pain in a few minutes. Try it, when 1 vou will be convinced that no preparation possesses in so high a degree, its perfect anodyne qualities. Its action is prompt and effective. It penetrates the flesh to the bone, relaxes contracted cords, re storing use to limbs paralysed for years, and w here the flesh has wasted away, leaving nothing hut Hkin and bone, excites a healthy action, causing new flesh to grow out and fill up the shrivelled part. It restores the synovial fluid or joint water, and this is the reason why it has been so success- ; | ful in diseases of the joints. In affections of the I ; Spine, Liver, Lungs and Kidneys, this great reme- i [ dv stands before any other ever produced. For I ague cake or enlargement of the spleen, it is a spe- i j oitic. For any internal inflammation, you will find I lit gives great relief. It has no equal in the world j for Rheumatism—also, cramps, swelling, numb ness, weak joints, Spine and Chest, pains, wounds, ! chilblains, burns, sore throat, bites of insects and ; reptiles, salt rheum, warts, corns, mange, and in- j deed nearly all diseases which require an internal application, and many others, are greatly benefited 1 by it.

Protest against tiik National American Nomi nations.—The delegates to the American National Convention who voted for George Law and Gen. 1 louston hare entered the following protest against the nomination of Mr. Fillmore: Protest. —We, a portion of the delegates to the National American Convention from the State of New York, protest against the Presidential nomi nation made by that Convention, upon the follow ing grounds: First—The nominee is not a member of the American party. He has never been inside of a Council room, and no act of his life, no word spo ken, or line written by him, of which we have any knowledge, indicates that he sympathizes with that party, or that he would carry out its principles. Second—His nomination we regard as an utter betrayal of the great American movement; a trai torous attempt to wrest it from its purpose, and make it minister to the selfish ambition of the lead ers and demagogues of the dead organization of the past. Third—He was forced upon the State of New 1 ork by southern votes against the wish of our State delegates, and from those States which no man pretends can carry their vote for an American President. Fourth—He was forced upon the State of New \ ork against the express wish of a large majority nf our State Legislature; against the express wish ot a majority ot the State officers, and, we repeat, against the express wish of two-thirds of our dele gates in the Convention. hdih—He was not nominated by a majority of lhe States, or by the delegates of a majority of the States. Several States were permitted to cast their votes through a single delegate, who cast the whole number of votes to which his State would have been entitled. Such votes were cast by parties who had previously protested against the proceed ings, and retired from the Convention. American Cotton Manufactures. -The New Or leans l'uayune states that live thousand bales of cotton were recently shipped from that city to Bos ton on the Isaac Boardntan the largest cotton car go ever sent to Boston. Another vessel—the Mer- j riniac—cleared at the same time for Boston, with three thousand six hundred bales. Other ships were loading with smaller quantities for the same destination, thus showing that the New England factories were doing, or about to do, an active busi ness. The Newburyport fMass.) Herald states that there are in that county twenty-two mills, with '-'■M,o7J spindles, consuming in a year 14,426,fi#5 pounds ot cotton, producing goods to the value of $t1,W0,282, and affording constant employment to 5,235 operatives—l,6o4 males, 3,636 females. There is further, at Lawrence, a delaine estab- ; lisliment, m which 200,000 pounds of cotton are : used; or about one-third of its raw material, where I three hundred persons are employed; and at ! South Danvers there is a cotton bleacherv that has j a capital of $150,000, and employs sixtv hands. Manufacturing Companies.-— One of'the largest | Eastern manufacturing companies, for the pur- ' pose of securing greater confidence from the pub- 1 lie in the management of their affairs, have up- ! pointed a committee of shareholders for each month in the year to examine monthly, in turn, lhe hooks, accounts and vouchers of the corpora tion, and report to the Board. The Boston Trar script says : “ We commend this plan to the various corpora tions in our State, believing that its faithful execu tion would result in the complete security of stock holders, and, at the same time, do more towards restoring public confidence in corporate enterprises than could be accomplished by any other agency. Experience and recent developments teach us that the time lias arrived for action in these matters, j and we bail this proposition from a treasurer as a step in the right direction, ft is important, how- j ever, that suitable persons should be placed on the I committees, as the business of examining corpora- ! tion acounts is too often entrusted to persons total- j tv unfit for the service. The reports of commit- I tees of the Eastern railroad shareholders, are j noted instances of this want of qualification on the ! part of those appointed to examine the affairs of i the corporation.” An eloquent writer thus describes the nature of | copper, in a recent number of the North British j Review: “ Let any one who has a slide lathe at command i —furnished with drills and the other usual nppli- j ances—try his hand, for example, on a mass of ! copper. How queer a temperature does this metal show when you would apply tools to its idiosyn eracy ; try to drill it; try to "file it; try to cut it, try to plane; try to planish ; roll it out, or streteh it over a mandril. These things—all of them— may indeed he done; hut with what care and 1 choice of means are they to he effected. In one case you must soothe the surface with oil, or with tallow and wax; in another, the least smear of oil causes it to “buckle up," and all is spoilt. Under one operation, a bathing with milk is good ; in another, a touch of the workman’s saliva is more effective than anything else. The tool you apply to it must be neither hard nor soft beyond the limits of straw tempering, But now anneal it; how kindly, after coming forth from the furnace, does it yield itself to the workman’s will; hut if you indiscreetly strike it with a hammer for a few ■ times only, then, and as in an instant, you find that the molecular constitution of the entire mass ! has undergone an instantaneous transformation, : and it has become sonorous, elastic, non-plastic.” I SHIPPING NEWS.

If that report is not correct, of course our report is not reliable. We failed to receive later price current dates from Mobile, than the 22d Feb. The increased re ceipts, which have been confidently expected from Mobile, in consequence of the favorable rivers, are thus omitted. The facilities for getting Cotton to market, the past winter, with the exception of a short cold term, have never been more favorable, and may yet deceive the most prudent calculators. Good prices, good rivers, and the anxiety attend ing the troubled relations of the world, may all have combined to push forward Cotton early to market; and what may now he considered a very large increase of receipts, may yet be regarded as the necessary results of well defined laws of trade. The future receipts ure yet to determine the extent of the crop. j We noticed last night a Mobile Prices Current, of March Ist, and the crop was stated to be 780,866 bales, but the latest date from New Orleans was Feb. 26. There has been an increase in Charles ton and Savannah, of over 18,000 bales, not report ed in the Mobile circular —so the tables above cun not be much out of the way.] At the close of our weekly report, while we may state that the market has sustained daily fluctua tions in price, we arc not prepared to say that buy ers are anxious to operate. We quote for ordina ry to good ordinary 3% to 9; and middling fair 10 cents. The middling grades we find it very diffi cult to quote, and heucu omit them.
