The London Star, of April 19, speaking of the j :S»tj, »ays : Although, as we read the treaty clause bv '< we feel that the living and expanding spit it ! f society will carry it into effect differently from 1 .e intentions of its framers, yet we regard it as a ' •■lie treaty. It gives no one triumph, it sends no , fine away \ritfi a sense of defeat and shame ran!.- j ■if in his bosom. Even Count Buol, who is said have gone away, mortified, can be only much j .ratihed at the success of his mediation. Though no treaty can put an end to ull ocea ■■•ns for quarrel, this particular treaty, so far as ; •can see, sows no seeds of new quarrels. 1; i : ices, more than any treaty we recollect, the in-j tests of the different States of Europe under the I iiimoii guardianship of all, and will make it the j fault of no one in particular, but of several, if | teace be again disturbed.

' The testimony adduced at the hearing on the writ of habeas corns, directing the marshal of the District of Columbia to bring the body of Phile mon T Herbert before me on Saturday last has been the subject, in connection with the law bear ing thereon, of as full consideration as the lime in tervening would allow. e n i was strongly impressed by the evidence as it was detailed, and the reflection of which I have sought, and, instead of changing the impression ha.s strengthened the conviction entertained when ill! rJ« deHC v W fu closed. I abstain from givin r the reasons for toe conclusion arrived at, and which must be obvious. In any view which a jury can take of the evi i d( ‘nce under proper instruction from the court as y. 1 ® lt ls . c l uit , e dear to my mind that a con ; viction of murder should not take place. It the evidence had left room for debate whether the prisoner was guilty of murder or manslaugh ter or was entitled to an acquittal, although tl; * 1 K r,ill ! j tur such debate might have been slight I ; should have remanded him to prison. In relation j to the two last branches of inquiry just stated viz : whether a charge of manslaughter can be maintained, or the defendant discharged—there is ; contradictory testimony, and not only contradicto ry, but utterly irreconcilable, and it is not for the } c°urt, but a jury, to sav which of that testimony 1 "ley will credit, and to what the weight of evi- I dence winch may be adduced on a trial shall ; poiut.

During Mr. Polk’s administration, Mr. Buchan an proposed to oxttud the Missouri line to the Pa cific, but in 1850 lie declared that the Missouri Compromise measures superseded that line, which I construction led eventually to the adoption of the j principles embodied in the Kansas and Nebraska I Mr -Jones pointed with pride to the long public | life of Mr. Buchanan, who had received the ene.- ! miunisof true national men for the pure moral!tv of his life and the stern patriotism of Ins charac ter. . 1 he record of the Democracy was luminous, : and it would be marred by any attempt to defend it tram the attacks of any quarter.

One particular dark, damp, dull, drizlv and dts- i agreeable day, in the latter part of November, a fall, gaunt, queer looking customer, dressed in a i blue coat with yellow buttons, with “yallet ” j striped pantaloons, and calf-skin terminations, : sat, “ solitary and alone” in a little room situa ted in a certain little tavern, in street, Phi!.;- j delphia. Before him was a little round table, on whose ! marble top was “not a little” pirher of smoking ! punch, “schreeehen hot,” and a wine glass. The j solitary individual was York—nothin' else, dear j child—and that was his second pitcher full —nigh i his second empty. One minute after, and you couldn’t—fact you see—have squeezed a dropout of either the pitcher or glass, by a forty-two pound- i er hydraulic press. York rang the bell. The waiter popped his j head in the door. “Ring, sa ?” “01 course I did. Is it clearing off?” “No sa—damp, sa—fog so thick, sa, vou j could Indie it out tlta spoon, sa. Have anythin * sa ?” “ Moore punch, and strong." “ Yes, sa—immediately, sa.” The waiter withdrew, and in a few' seconds re j turned with a third pitcher of punch, and York , was beginning to f el glorious, when on raising ; up his eyes, he saw his own figure in a pier glass, i directly opposite. He rubbed his eves again. “ Bv thunder’" said he “here’s some fellow sit ting right before me; I’ll swear there’s impudence : for you! This is a private room, sir, for nty sole accommodation.” He waited a minute, expecting an answer, but his reflection only stared at him and held its peace, i “ 1 was saving, sir. that this is my private room : —mine, sir!” cried York, fetching his voice an j aetave higher than it was before. No answer was made, ana he rang the bell furiously. The w aiter 1 made his appearance again. “ Ring, sa ?” “Yes, I did ring. Didn’t I ask for a private 1 room V” “ Yes, sa ; this is a private room, sa.” “It is? Why, there’s a fellow sitting right op- j poaite me now, on the other side of the table. Rut his impudence.” “Table, sa -fellow, sa?” “ Yes there is. Well, just never mind. Bring 1 on some more punch and a couple of glasses.” In ti very short time the fourth pitcher, with two i glasses, made its appearance. York tilled one of the glasses, and then shoved ! it over the table. “Will you drink?” said he, addressing the figure I in the glass. “Oh, you won’t, eh ? Well, I—l will.” And so he did. “ Better drink, old fellow,” continued lie. “Your liquor is getting cold, ami you look as if you was \ fond of the thing.” No answer being returned, York finished the j pitcher, and rang the bell again. In popped the \ waiter, j “Ring, sa?” • “To be sure I did. Didn’t vou hear the b-b-bell ?” j “I did.” “Didn’t I order a p-p-private room? Eh?” j “Yea, sa ; this is a private room, aa.” “A pretty private this is, with a f-f-fellow sit ting right opposite that won’t take a glass of punch when it’s offered him, and a r-r-red nosed man at that. 0, well never mind, bring mon punch and t-t-tumbers, I’ll try him again." Presently pitcher number five with glasses '* match, was borne in with due state, j “Better try some, old bov,” said York, coaxing | ly, to his double. Tho reflex merely looked good ; natured, but said nothing. I “Well,” continued York, with a sigh, “if this | isn’t the most infamous. Never tnind, I'll drink the punch. And so he did, every bit of it. About five min utes sufficed to end the pitcher. York rang the bell The waiter came again. “Ring, sa?” | “Why certain. Why shouldn’t I ? Where's the man —who keeps the—place?” “Boss, sa ? I'll see ’im, sa.” Shortly after mine host, a quiet looking little man, with a mottled, calico pattern face and a shining bald head, made his appearance. “ W-w-what’s to pay *” demanded York, rising and assuming an air of dignity. “Five punches—five levies, sir “There's the money, sir," said York forking over the coin. “And now I want to know why, when I call for a private room, y ou should put me iu here with s-s-somebodv else?" “There’s nobody here but you and I, sir?" “Nobody! Do Vou s-s-spoae I can’t see? Do vou think I’m drunk ? There, look there' two of ’em, bv jingo !’’ .... “Well, sir, I must confess, I can t see but us two.” , ‘ Y’ou caw’t eh?” And Y ork dragged the land lord to the table. “Look there,” continued he, pointing -o the glass.

St. Loots, May 12.-—The steamboat Star of the V est arrived here to-day from Kansas, bringing dates to Saturday, the 10th. Governor Robinson and family were among the passengers, but at Lexington he was waited upon by a committee ap- j pointed by the citizens and notified that they should detain him on the ground, that he was flee ing from the territory to avoid arrest on an indict ment for treason which had been found against him by the grand jury of the United States Dis trict Court. The Governor replied that ho had been informed by one of the grand jury that an 1 attempt had been made to find a bill, but it had failed. This did not satisfy the committee, who insisted that Robinson should remain. Finally he consented to do so on the persuasion of Mr. Park inson, the captain of the boat, and a Mr. Barnard, of Baltimore. The committee then agreed to send’ a messenger to Kansas to ascertain if an indict ment had been found ; and if not all the expenses of Robinson’s detention were to be paid. The committee consisted of General Shields, Mr. Saw - yer, and a number of the most respectable citi zens. It is reported that a despatch from Leavenworth has been received, stating that an armed bodv of men are en rmde for Lawrence, for the purpose of destroying the evidence taken by the committee. M hile Governor Reeder was in attendance at the session of the committee of investigation at Lecompton on the evening of the Bth, the Deputy Marshal served on him a writ to appear before tba Grand Jury at Lecompton, to answer the charge of contempt for having refused to comply with the summons of the Grand Jury previously served j upon him Governor to obev the writ, aud appealed to the committee, bu they rh - I cided that they had no power iu the case 51 -.sis. j Howard and Sherman, however, expressed tli<*ir j opinion that Mr. Reeder was protected bv privt lege. Mr. Oliver dissented, ami said the comm - ; tee could not stand between him aud the Marshal Governor Reeder said that although his life was in danger in Lecompton, he would remain on lus privilege, in attendance at the sittings of the com mittee, aud dared them to touch him at their peril. The Marshal left, but was expected to return on the 9th, with the IT. S. dragoons. The Judge at Lecompton charged the Grand Jury on Monday, the sth iust., to indict all the State officers and meml rs of the L-gislature for high treason, but up to i 2 9th n such indictment had been confirmed, so fat i.s he proceedings had been made public. Washington. May ir —The President sent to the Senate to-day documents relative to Indian hostili ties on the Pacific coasy General Wool, under date of the 20th of March, says; “ The war iu Pugett’g Sound will soon be brought to a close unless prevented bv Gov. Ste ven’s determination to carry on the war indepen dent of United States troop's, and that same re mark is applicable to Gov. Curry;" adding “these Governors appear to be running a race to see who can dip the deepest into the public treasure.” “In the dense forest of Pugett’s Sound another Florida war can easily be carried on at the expense of twenty or thirty millions. The same w ill apply to the mountain region of Pugett’s Sound valley. I have no doubt 1 could settle the contest in a short time if the Governors would withdraw from the contest. Gov. Stevens says: “Gen. Wool neglected and refused to send a force for the relief of myself and party when known to be in imminent danger, and believed by those who are best capable of judging to be coming on to certain death ; and this when he had at command an efficient force of regular troops. He has refused to sanciion the agreement made between Gen. Mason and Maj. Gaines for troops to be sent to my assistance, and ordered them disbanded. It was reserved for the Oregon volunteers to rescue us. There has been a breach of faith somewhere, and 1 ask for an investigation into the whole matter. New Orleans, May Ft.—The steamship Empire City has arrived at this port with advices from Havana to the 11th instant, and San Francisco to the 21st nit. The George Law, now on her way for New Y ork, has on board nearly $2,000,00(1 iii gold. The California news is generally unimportant. > The San Francisco markets were quiet, but Flour was recovering gradually. The Oregon war continues. A body of regulars had been defeated by the Indians at Rogue River, and twenty-eight of them killed. Cassades had been captured bv the Indians and destroyed by fire, and several of the residents massacred. It | was reported that a thousand Indians were ap- I preaching Dalles from the North. Several other tights had occurred, but the whites were generally victorious. In YYashingtou Territory the Indians were breaking out upon the settlements in every direc tion. The latest advices state that Col. D. Buchanan had defeated the Indians at Rogue river and reliev ed the citizens in that vicinity. Our intelligence from Central America ismeagre.

Hooper: The priucipa! objects of pruning, are to procure a good bole or trunk for timber; to forma heud moderately open and spreading, iif a standard or chard,) for the protection and healthy and perfect development of fruit; and subserve in some mea sure the purpose of ornament. To effect these objects with the least trouble, and greatest advantage upon all non-resinous trees, the following directions are recommended; 1. Begin to prune the tree when it is young. 2. Cut close and smooth to the bole or limb. 3. Cut, when small, the branches which are like ly to cross one another, or which are likely to in terfere, or become useless or dead, and which, if suffered to remain, will require to be removed at a more advanced period of growth; when very large they would create too great a shock upon the vital energies of the plant. 4. Avoid pruning to excess under our hot sun. Let the branches occupy at least a third of the en tire height of the tree. 5. Do not trim when the tree bleeds. When the preceding suggestions are observed, 1 may add: (I. Pruning may be done at any time when the tree is in a dormant state; but the best and safest time is when vegetation is at res:, just at the lime j of the rising of the sap. 7. Shortening in, or the expiration of water sprouts, may bo done ai all times in summer. ■i. For dwarfing and early fruiting, shorter-;ug I in or summer pruning is essential, bu to be don with great delicacy at this season. Moore’# Rural New Yurie. , April 12.

GEOKGIA MEDICATED SOAP, The Empire State of the South, still ahead in, Jar Improvement' I’M 111 IS article compare fin ora- Jl bly with any of like character JSfe: in the known world. I find that by putting it in the form of a Soap it giVes it a decided advan sBbS tuge over any Balm, Salve, Liniment, or Ointment that can be made for the cure of dis eases herein enumerated ; it also prevents its vir tues from being impaired by age or climate, and renders it very convenient for use. its action is prompt, and at the same time harm less, as it contains no mercurial or other prepara tion injurious to the patient. This article, there fore, being highly medicated, will cure Ulcers, Cuts. Flesh Wounds, Ring and Totter Worm, Piles, Erysipelas, Scald Head, Itch, Nettle Rash, Salt Rheum, Chilblain, Prickly Heat, Scurvy, Sore sch os, Bone Felons, Old Sores, Sore Nipples, Ac., extract scurf and dandruff from the head, thereby preventing premature baldness. It is also one of the beat remedies for Burns or Scalds, and will cure the Fistula and Scratches in horses ■ extract tar, paint and grease from clothing, and is also a superior dentrifice to the teeth. Furs having soap, it firms a rich lather, softening tile bearu, and curing such sores as may he on the face. In the cure of all the enumerated diseases, and particular old sorts, this soap has proved a halm indeed, by its wonderful healing powers. 1 can procure certificates innumerable were it necessary, but believing that a single cake is only requisite to prove its etlicacy as above stated, and wishing to avoid everything like liumbuggery, 1 leave it to those who will give it a fair trial, not doubting they will then declare this to be the nc plus ultra ot the age in the healing art.

It allays the most intense pains in a few minutes, restores the synovial fluid or joint water, and thus cures stiff joints ; it penetrates the flesh to the bone, relaxes contracted cords, cures rheu matism and palsied limbs of twenty years' stand ing ; also, tumors, swelled neck, enlargement of the glands, and is the best medicine for ailments ot cat Re ever discovered, curing sweeny, spavins, splint, and all diseases which require au internal application. Sun Ruins of years' standing cured by If. O'. Farrell's Arabian Liniment. Mr. 11. tl. Farrell— DoirSir: 1 had been af flicted with the “Sun Pain” for the last ten years, and could never get relief except by bleeding; but by the use of It. G. Farrell’s Arabian Linimeut, applied over the temples about three or four times ft day, it was entirely removed, and 1 have felt nothing of it since. I went into the stable one night, to apply it to u horse’s sore leg, and being very lame he stumbled and fell against tuv legs, crushing and bruising them so hadlv that thov turned black as my hat, rendering them' powerless. 1 applied your Linimeut, and was well enough in a few days to go about again as usual. 1 also crushed my linger in a shocking manner, by letting a back log full upon it; your Liniment soon healed it up, though. JOHN B. M’GEE, LaSalle Precinct, Peoria Co., 111., Feb. 6, 1849, | Esc/, furrier, of Sew Canton, 111., says: | Mr. 11. G. Farrell’s Arabian Liniment has cured some bad eases here, which every other remedy had failed in ; one was u white swelling and con tracted cords in tin' leg of a boy twelve years old. The leg had withered away, and was so contracted that lie had no us, of it. Three doctors had tried their skill upon it in vain, and he teas fast sinking to the grace, when the hoy’s father was induced to try 11. G. Farrell's Arabian Liniment. Before the first bottle was used up, he came to Mr. B.’s store, and the first words he said were, “ Mr. Barker, I want all that Liniment you have in the store ; the one bottle I got did my boy more good than all that luid ever been done before.” That boy is now well and hearty, and has free use of his legs. It is good for sprains, bruises, cuts, burns and swellings. Look ovt for Counterfeits ! The public are cautioned against another coun terfeit, which has lately made its appearance, called W. B. Farrell’s Arabian Liniment, the most dan gerous of all the counterfeits, because his having the name of Farrell, many will buy it in good faith, without, the knot Kl. dial a counterfeit ex ists, and they will je nl discover their error when the spurious m, . s wrought its evil effects.
