He can promptly and se cretly send a minister to the Central American States, to n gotiate with each a treaty of annexation to the United Siates. As these five Central American States have had enough of Europe, and more especially of England we have little doubt about, the cordial ac quiescence of each in this object.— Those Ntates-alone are not strong enough to repel the piratical aggres sion ut England and would therefore rejoice in ihe protection of a much more powerful nation that would guarantee jail her local rights.

Tin-. ’I s <f i*.cs‘t, Tho lasi number of t lie Democratic I Review is ornamented (?) with a por-! trait of Mr. Bennett, of the Herald, it must he confessed that. Bennell is j not a handsome man. The Louisville j Journlil, himself none of the handsom-! est. pViki s fun al Ids likeness in the ! following pitiless style ; There’ s one thing we will readily I admit,] and that is. that, if Bennett's portrait he correct, he is I lie ugliest of j the Democratic editors. For awhile we doubted whether he or a certain j neighbor of ours is the ugliest mortal, j but lire twist in the eyes of Bennell decides the contest in his favor. We neighbor that there i- one editol?D>glier than himself in the Democratic ranks. Bennett’s portrait is terrific. Such a thing ought never to he painted or daguerreotyped. L ought lo he con sidered a penal offence to make any thing so revolting to all our ideas ol propriety. No man has a right to monopolize so much ugliness. Il Ben nett’s ugliness could he distributed over a thousand faces, it would make each of them intensely, hatefully ugly. Heought. not to be permitted to iso into the streets without a blanket over his awful frontispiece. No ■ > der that so many of the New York children die of convulsions, since Bio.ml isper mitted to walk abroad wiili uncovered face. W e once heard of a man’s face that was so ugly that ii was placed on andirons for the purpose ol frightening children from the fire with much ell’ect. No child dared lo approach the andi rons and the liability to combustion from such cause was greatly lessened. If Bennett’s ugly likeness were stamped on fire-places the effect would be de cidedly bad, for the children would not dare to go near enough to the lire to keep warm and would become frost bitten and perhaps frozen to death. We cannot conceive of any reason why anything should he so ugly as Bennett. He is uglyer than a half starved hyena, lie is ugliness per I'ected. Ther<* is a thoroughness about his ugliness which defies competition. Wh-n Mirabeau described himself as a tiger that had had the small-pox he placed a very ugly idea in everybody’s mind, bm it was .•beautiful when com pared with Bennett’s lace.

Death From tiiij Want of Sleep.— How long can one, live without sleep ? This question we have never seen ans werctl. But an authentic communi cation has been made to a British so ciety whose field of operations are in Asia, descriptive of a punishment which : s peculiar to the original code o China. I appears from this com munication, that a Chinese Merchant had been convicted of murdering his wile, and was sentenced to die by be ing totally deprived of the privilege of going to sleep. This singular and painful mode of quitting an earthly existence was carried into execu ion tit Anmy under the following circum stances ; The condemned was placed in pris on um'er the care of tllre*-of the pol ice guard, who relieved each other every alternate hour, and who pie vented the prisoner lr"m falling aH-mp for a single moment, night, or day.— He thus lived for nineteen days, with out enjoying any sl-op. At the commencement of the eight day his .sufferings were so cruel that, he implored the authorities to grant him the blessed opportunity of being stran gulated, garroted. gullotined, hurtled to death, drowned, quartered shot, blown up with gunpowder <>r put to death in any conceivable way which tln*ir humanity or ferocity cou and in vent This wi I give u> some idea “f the horror of dying because \ou can not go to sleep. When Appelles made his beauty, Lis Venus he took an eye from one woman, a nose from another, a tnou It from a third, and so on until the, Ve nus Was complete in her more than earthly beauty. Now if any Appelles or artist of any appellation, wished to make the most indubitable perfect representation of ugliness, he would not be compelled to take features from several very ugly persons, but all he would bt compelled to do would be t<> get Bennett’s face, and she enterprise would be acc mplished.

The Harlem Railroad doe’s the same, and both roa expect to, sustain themselves by doing a large, business upon small profits. To shew that tbe idea is a lea-able one. the. following calcula tion has been made ol the compara nd ivc cost of carrying a small and large number of passer gers . ” The cost of running a passenger train with forty passengers a hundred miles is estimated at $27. and tbe re ceipts on forty passengers at two and •a half cen s per mile is SIOO. i\''tt income 573.

He then graph ically described the field, the fortifi cations, ns he laughingly called them, and die victory, in a manner I shall never forget. “Mr. Eaton (said Gen; Jackson) has greatly erred in his do scription of the American works. He says I had a ‘strong breast-work of cotton bags.’ There was no! a bag of cotton on the field sir! 1 had sonic store-boxes and sand-bags, or bags filled with sand, and these wire ex tended along the lines; but they j were so low, that tit the close ol tho ; action, when the British surviving General, in command, came riding up ,on an elegant horse, to surrender his ! sword, when begot near, 1 heard him : exclaim, with m< rtifi< cl surprise, ‘Bar ricades ! by ‘ 1 could leap them j with my horse !’ 1 laughed heartily sit his astonishment, for so ho could, and besides, on one. wing the works were not completed; I had nothing ; there bus a cornfulc fence, if the Brit i ish had only known, to turn it! But ; by keeping my men constantly throw* ■ ing over facines and ladders on the works, the lb dish were eliectually de ceived But. (continued Gen. 1.)
