GBEYTOWN OU'l'RAGE—'I'IOUBLI AHEAD.

'50 recent wanton aiifrianjuatiﬁable destruction of (Esytewn, on the Mosquito coast,by' the United States ehip-of- war Cyane, Capt. ollins, has

' created mach indignation in Great Britain, as it

will have in every other country, where the circumstances of the case re known. A cor- , sacs has sccordingl aken place between the British Secretary of State for Foreign Afairs and Mr. Buchanan, the American Minister in London, in which the former re-sllirtas the British claim to the British protectorate, and the latter denies it. The Washington corres ondent of the New York Courier an Ertquinert us announces this correspondence :-

"wAlHlNGTON, Thursday eveninr.—I ascer- T

Iain that an im oitant corres ndence has occurred between Mr. och'anan'an the British Secretary of State for Foreign Ali‘-ire.

Lord Clarendon re~asserts the British territorial claims on Central America, founded on the Mosquito protectorate.

Mr. Buchanan denies them in two elaborate

notes, and demands an unconditional relinquisb- I

merit ofthe protectorate.

It is understood that our Government has de- termined to adopt decisive measures to obtain the complete evacuation of entral America, as stipulated by the Clayton and Bulwer treaty.”

'l‘he London Times thus speaks of the outrage perpetrated by Capt. Hollins :—

“ The object of the Clayton and Bulwer treaty was to promote ' the construction of the commu- nll‘IlltIlI between the two oceans for the beneﬁt of mankind, on equal terms to all, and for the protection of the same.’ It is certainly a most extraordinary violation of the spirit of that treaty that an American ship of war should have presumed, in defence of at bests very doubtful cause, to attack and destroy the principal com- mercial station situated on this ver line of corn- overnment is

The

munication which the American expressly bound to maintain and protect. act of Captain Hollins speaks for itself.

It is, indeed, without a parallel in any history with which we are acquainted. for the place was wholly incapable of ﬁring a shot in its defence. not a man was killed or wounded in the attack, and the enterprise was one of mere destruction.

There is in this case no war and no provoca- tion to account for or to palliate such a measure. Far from being at war with the states of Central America, the Government of the U. States has always affected to regard them with peculiar interest ; and the ﬁrst proof given ofthis interest is an act ufsiolence which would have disgraced a buccaneer.

Indeed. considering the species of rotection Chllbllslrd by the treaty of 1850, an the en- gagements cotttractcd by the United States to- ward this enuntry and the whole world for the security ofthe passage. this outrage of Captain Hollins is a contempt of the authority of his own government and a gross breach of faith to every nation. which niav have mercantile transactions, carried on across the lsthmua of Nicaragua."

It appears by a telegraphic dsspatch from New York, that Capt. Hollins has been arrested there on a civil suit for damages to property occasioned by the destruction of Greytown, and held to bail in a large amount.

A correspondent of the Boston Post announces the death. a few days since in Pawtuclret, R. I.. of the mother of the world~renowned Sam Patch. She died an humble and faithful christian, at the advanced age of 80 years.

Tsaairic Pownea-atii.t. Exncstcst —An ex- plosion of a disussnus character took pl_ses a few minutes before ﬁve c‘elot'k on the morning of the l0tb inst., at the government powder mills st I-lerodafoot,Gornwall. whereby upwards of ﬁve tons of gunpowder were destso¥d, and damage donde tohtho amount zgssooo.

The duty which called the workman into that part of the mill was to ascertain the stats of the thermometer. The man ﬁrst discovered his perilous situation from the ignition of some loose powder on the floor of the drying-house. which, serving as a sort of train to the bulk of the manufactured powder than lll process of drying, allowed him time to run for his life. With great presence of mind ‘he ran from the premises, and

lcapt into a deep trench a short distance cl’. w he escaped with only a few rom stories which reached him. The drying and packing houses, were entirely blows up; the dressing-house was unroofed; t glass of the windows in the manager's house was sltlvsved to atoms, and the windows of the houses is the village adjoining were very much injured. The magssine, which is situated a quarter of e mile from the mill, was shaken to the. foundation by the force of the explosion. Happily, no personal injury was sustained.

CHINESE FASHIONS.

The Chinese are spared all trouble as to fashion in dress. Not that foppery is any more rare than in any other quarters of the globe, or that the toilet and the proper arrangement of ornaments is by any means neglected, but all matters of dress come under two categories. The summer and winter arrangements constitute the only changes which the Chinese, from the Em- peror down to the meanest peasant, ever adopts. And this, too, does not depend on individual cupi-ice. The board ofrites, which regulate customs, costumes. religious obser- vsnces and etiquette, has the entire super- intendence of the affair. At the proper time they notify the Viceroy of each province that spring or winter, its the case may be, has come, and accordingly assumes the summer or winter cap, without any regard to the state of the weather, and the people follow suit.

Among the Chinese no relics are more valued than the boots which have been worn b an upright magistrate. In David's interesting description of the empire of

hina, we are informed, that whcnevcra judge of unusual integrity resigns his sittin- tion, the people all congregate to do him honour. Ifhc leaves the city where he has presided, the crowd accompany him from his residence to the gates, where his boots are drawn oil‘ with great ceremony, to be preserved lll the hull of justice. 'I‘lieir place is immediately supplied by a new pair, which in their turn, are drawn off to make room for others before he has worn them ﬁve minutes, it being considered sufficient to conaecratc them that he shoul have merely drawn them on.

DEATH ON THE BATTLE FIELD.

The following reﬂcctions presented them- selves to Mr. Patrick O'Brien on viewing the ﬁeld after the battle of Oltenitza, a s iritcd account of which he gives in his Jpournal o a Residence its Ute llantsbisrs Pr-irici ahlies.

" he sight of death on the ﬁeld of battle does not produce the same fee irrg o awe that is caused even by the view of a passing

unernl. You ride over the ﬁeld the day after the ﬁght, and on thread your way amongst the dead, wit strange indifference at the elght of so much carnage. Whilst listening to the roar of battle, to the clash of arms, and the cries of the combatants, your mind is being , red for the specta- cle which awaits it, ,u the smoke will hays cleared away, an ‘opposing raalts have ceased their work of in Mar. Then the free wind is blswin fr-es ly over the bodies of the slain; the s _y above is bright and sunny, birds are singing on the neigh- bouring trees, and the broad Danube is flowing calmly on to the sea. And close to where the soldier lies dt~ad,his comrades are busy with thcireamp-kettles cooking their mornin meal, or are going through the routine o their duties. Nothing around you is in harmon with feeling of mourning and regreto An soyou continue our way over t e ﬁeld till you have satis ed your curiosity as to the state of the living and the number ofthe dead, and then you, too, look anxiously alter our mornin meal, and as you are sipping your co co and

smoking your pipe, you speculate calmly on

:_be chances of war. How diﬂ'srsnt is this root the fcelin of in awe with which you lookgott death in cfties, in the sick chamber, in tbetlidd of quiet, daily avccatluus‘! In the laotlﬂ where there is death, you walk nciselcmly and hold your breath, for perhaps you hear some stiﬁed sobs. It maybe a child that is weeping beside her d ing father, or amother's heart that is breakit , for the boy who was her pride and hope ies dead. "

Tue Put.rtr in Paussia.——Sevsral ec- clesisstica in Prussia having been of late in the habit of preaching political sermons, in which they im lored the Almighty to accord the triumph o the Christian arms of Russia over the Pagan enemies of the cross, the Minister of Public Worship at Berlin, has issued an order prohibiting for the future any political allusions them the pulpit.

Tun Oc:a.\'.—Few who have ‘ gone down to the sea in ships,’ sailing day alter day over its stormy waves, continually exhausting horizon after horizon, and ' still the end was not‘ few, we as have done this, but will feel the force of the following eloquent extract:

" The sea is the largest ofthe cemeteries, and its slumbercrs sleep without a monu- mcnt. All grave yards in all other lands show some symbol of distinction between the great and the small, the ric a the poor; but in that ocean cemetery the king and the clown, the prince and the peasant, are all alike undistinguiahod. The waves roll over all. The same requiem song b the minstralsy of the ocean song to their honor. Over their remains the same storm beats, and the some sun chines; and there unmarked, the weak and the powerful, the plumed and unhonorcd, will sleep on, until awakened by the same trump when the sea will give up its dead. I thought of sailing over the slumbcring but devoted Cooltmttn, who, after a brief but brilliant career, perished in the Presidcnt——over the same ill-futcd vessel we may have assed._-In that cemetery sleeps the accomplished and pious Fisher; but where he, and thousands of others of the noble spirits of the earth lic, no one but God knoweth. No marble rises to oint out where their ashes are gttthcre , or where the lovers of the good or wise can go to shed the tear of sympathy. Who can tell where liethe tens ofthousnnds of Africa's sons who perished in the ‘ middle passage?’ Yet that cemetery hath orna- ments of Jehovah.-—Never can I forget my days and nights as I passed the noblest of the cemeteries without a single monu- merit."

Ex-ritaoitniiuttv P.-.orosirioa:. — The following extraordinary paragraph appears in a late English paper. It would be a novel kind of warfare to wage against the Czar, that instead of breaking down is stone walls, we construct formidable breast- works, and thus destroy the navigation of his harbours.

" Short Path to Success.—A proposition has been sent to the Admiralty by an officer of the navy of high standing, for the perfect scaling up the entrance to Coiistradt, by doing which, the Russian ﬂeet cotild be kept there for years, and if necessary for ever. The Inn is now under the consider- ation of the Admiralty, and we are credibly informed the gallant Anglo-French Ad- mirals are being consulted on the prsctace- bility of the same. To ive further cxplanation at present wou be most injudicious. If carried out, it will release nine-tcnths of our tleet from that part of the Baltic; after which Sysaborg and Helsingfora ma have similar cards played atacnatofa ewshctorshel, end most certainly without loss of lives compared with Gsmla Cat-lsby." .

The best evidence that can adduced in favor of the elbcacios-neas -of Honda ‘a German Bitters, prepared by Dr. . M. Jackson is the unprece- dsnt demand for them from all parts of the Union: and slthon b there may he many com- pounds prepared and, represented as being worthy of a liberal patronage, yet we feel constrained to remark, that the vast number of testimonials with which the worthy doctor has bass honored. by persons of the highest character and respectability, who found it necessary to have recourse to his preparation, is testimony saﬁciently conclusive, that s more e ctnal remedy for the almost imme- diate relief of those alicted with that dirsful

malady. dyspepsia, has never been discovered.
