EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON CITY: WEDNESDAY -November 7, SPIRIT OF THE MORNING PREss. The utclligencer intimates its belief of the truth of the rumor that Commodore Paulding has been ordered to proceed with his flag ship to San Juan del Norte. This fact, by-the-by, is‘ piper’s news.’’ Quite a month agowe in- timated our confidence that preparations were being made to send thither a torce sufficient fox the ample protection of all on the Isthmus who bave really the right to call on this Goy- «rnment to that end. Our impression is, that seme two or three weeks ago orders to carry out this purpose at San Juan del Sur went to the Pacific coast squadron. The Uncon discusses the double-ration claim of Gen. Scott with the Jnzellicencer; and takes the Cincinnati Exgrirer and the Colum- i Obio) Statesman to task for demurring to the philosophy of its current controversy with Prinee John Van Buren, which it (the Union) trusts is not to be deemed an avowal, on the part of the conductors of those journals, that they, too, stand on the Van Buren Free “oil platform of 1848.

The Hivo €warm'ng.—There was a very large crowd of politicians, Know Nothings and anties, around the depot yesterday evening as the extra train, for the accommodation of those going over to Baltimore to be present to-day at the election, was being prep2red to set out. Some hundreds of Maryland votcrs were there, and more citizens of Washington. All pre- served their temper and their spirits, though the confidence and enthusiasm seemed to be altogether on the anti-Know Nothing side. As far as we could perceive, no bets could be obtained by their betting men against the election of Mr. May. Indeed, they were ban- toring for bets against five thousand anti-Know Nothing majority in Baltimore city and county That looked preposterous to us; but their knowing ones seemed to be quite as confident that such is to be the result, as the Know Ne- things were last May that they were about to sweep Virginia by from ten to thirty thousand msjority. Later in the evening, in the great hall of the National Hotel, where the politicians are wont to congregate on such occasions, the betting was quite spirited, some of the Baltimore Know Nothings having sent over money to be wagered against the re-election of Mr. May. It was got off easily in even bets; one small even wager being made that Davis will beat May 300 votes. Our own im- Fression is that Mr. May can herdly succeed, as the Know Nothings seem to have concen- trated their efforts altogether against him It seems to be understood among the Washing- ton Know Nothings that their friends have contrived the means of polling, by hook or by crook, perhaps a thousand more votes for Davis than they brought to the polls at the recent municipal election there, and that they had fixed other contrivances by which a con- siderable portion of Mr. May’s friends will be prevented from depositing their ballots Tho Hinnoy and Walker Expoditions, &c¢ The recent arrival from San Juan del Norte, which brings news of the success of the Dem- ccratic party in Nicaragua (whose Gencral-in- Chief, Walker has become, and whose army is composed nearly entirely of that individual's followers,) also brings information, no longer to be disputed, of the entire failure of the Kinney speculation. The details of the ad- vices with reference to it bear out to the let- ter the information from that quarter thai came by the last previous arrival exclusively tothe Star. The following we extract from the New York Herald San Juan Dex Norte, Oct. 18 * * * * * * Finding on his arrival here, that he had been humbugged by Fabens, und his imagin- ary tities to sundry millions of lands in the department of Choutalas, (Nicaragua,) and seeing that he had no chance of reaching the interior, he turned his attention to the old af- fair of the Shepherd & Haley grants, and after some bargainings. he purchased (so he says) their grant for £500,000—(this makes about five or six sales of said grants)—the facts of the case are these -—The grants are not worth the paper on which the same are written, and every ene krowsit They have been hawked about Wall etreet for the last ten years, but no one has been fool enough to advance one cent upon them. Kinney. however, thinks he can do something with them, and so has started the humbug—but it won't pass. Its like his resources—immense on paper; but no where else. Kinney is here without money, eredit, supplies or men—his Governorship lasted sixteen days. That was humbug No. 2,and ended as his scheme of colonization will—in an entire failure. The stories cirer- lated by Kinney and his friends, about farms, coffee, sugar, corn, are all humbug. Not an acre of land has been cleared, nor will be: and not a coffee tree nor stalk of cane will ever be planted by Kinney or his followers There are but few among them who can cut wood, plough, or do any work but loaf, and in that the majority of them are perfect. Lying around bar-rooms, drinking liquor, and run- ning in debt for board, lodgings, rum and segurs, ding washing, is all they have done yet, and I rather expect ull they will do. The new affair about gold is an old affair—no gold there. The thirty thousand dollar pur- chase is all moonshine. In fact, all attempts heretofore to colonize the coast have proved failures, and will, for no white population can do it, and those who do try it dic. xz Wro Knows. Grartown, Oct. 17, 1855. RESIGNATION OF THE GOVERNORSHIP. The enclosed is Col. Kinney’s lust effort. Finding himself in the sninority, and no one to obey him, he resigned, as you see. His af fairs are getting worse every day. No sur- Plus, no money, no men—in fact, the Kinney expedition has exploded. Ie and his asso- ciates are dying hard. They try to keep up some excitement. They, as you may vee by their paper, the Central American, are get- ting up splendid goid mines, large farms, im- mense resources tall corn. but unfortunately it is all on paper, and nowhere else. Fabens and his scheme of Choutalas, has also fallen through: he is in Gianada, below par, and can do nothing. * * * CopiLiE. Walker's party have also issued their news- paper, the Nicaraguan. We have received the first number, or at least that portion of it published in English, which is dated at Gra- nada, and is filled for the most part with an account of the military exploits of the filli- busters, and with glorifications of “General Walker.” It also contains a contemptuous notice of the deplorable condition of Kinney and his few remaining followers; intimating the purpose of Walker to send an expedition down to San Juan to arrest the whole party, in order to puizh them as invaders of Nicaragua, fillibusters, robbers!!! &c., &. We have not been able to understand precisely how much of Walker’s late suc: is attributable to the alleged recent comy ty of the Transit Company in his schemes. It is, however, very certain that the reinforcement from San Fran- ciseo, that enabled Walker to take Granada, came down on the Transit Company’s steamer, it is said with the knowledge of the company’s officers on the Pacific side. Without these re- eruits, Walker could not possibly have suc- ceeded, nor could his affairs have been in their present flourishing condition but for the aid and comfort the Transit Company’s officers and boats gave him on the Lake. The firing into the San Carlos steamer was evidently the re- sult of the act of the company in taking sides in the civil war. We confess that we have no information coming by the last arrival except that with which ail the other journals have been furnished; and on that alone we are now commenting. The most important result of the late occurrences there bids fair to be to compel the Government of the United States to decline taking any further care whatever of the interest of the Transit Company, which can- not be a party to the civil war in Nicaragua while claiming the protection of the Govern- ment of the United States. We await detailed advices from that quarter with no little inter- est’ There is a screw loose in San Francisco in connection with this matter; else how came Walker's recruits able to get off without the interposition ef the authorities ? Horrible Conspiracy—Awful Disclosures. The (British) 4/)ion, published in New York, bas performed a most eminent and acceptable service to the United States, and especially to the great western European powers, in the discovery and exposure of a conspiracy 50 diabolical in itself, and so threatoning to the peace of the world, that its timely detection entitles the Alsion to the profound gratitude of the whole of Christendom. This discovery isof the remarkable fact that all the operations of Sir Gaspar Le Marchant, Mr. Howe, Mr. Crampton, and, for aught we know, of Lord Palmerston himself and the British Parliament, in the business of reeruit- ing troops for the Crimea in the United States, from the passage of the foreign legion bill last winter, down to the conviction of Hertz and Wagner at Philadelphia and New York, is nothing but a tremendous conspiracy for the injury of great Britain, coatrived, managed, and skillfully conducted to a successful con- sumation by a most extraordinary pergon, sail to be in the service of tae Emperor of Russia, and concealed somewhere here in Washington, whose name is reported to be the Chevalier Stoeckel We are not informed in what part of Wash- ington this remarkable person has established his laboratory of plots and conspiracies. Ever since the disclosure of the fact made by the Albion, we have been looking round and in- quiring with extrome solicitude to find out where it can be. We donset feel safe in walk- ing the streets. For aught we know, the earth is mined all about underour feet; and that the first thing we shall know, the Scar office, our important self included, will be blown sky- high, to the great consternation and confusion of the politicians, who have come long since to learn that we are the polar Star in the po- litical firmament. We bogin to grow very curious, as well a: very much alarmed. Is this Chevalier Stoeckel @ mere mortal man, or is he some marvelau magician from the caves of Domdaniel ? If the Chevalier Stoeckel is a mere morta! man, are we to consider him a fair epecimen of these Russian barbarians of which we hear so much from England and France? Has the Emperor Alexander got two or three more suoh men employed abroad? If he has, we may reasonably expect, in the course of a fiw months, that while Marshal Pelissier is smash- ing away at Sebastopol, and the Allies are getting up great concentric movements upon the Russians in the Crimea, we shail hear that, in spite of all this, the Allies, while victorious in the field, will have lost the game by the supericr intellectuality of the Cowwacks, and that we shall wake up some bright morning to find on our table a tele- graphic dispatch of the last news from London by the Africa or the Baltic, setting forth how Count Nesselrode is in the House ef Lords as Premier, Prince Gotschakoff, Strogonoff, Orloff, or some other off as Secretary of War, ard Chevalier Stoeckcl administration leader in the House of Commons!

Circuit Courr—In the U. 8. Circuit Court, on Fri- day, Judge Curtis gave a decision in the case of William B. Clum vs. Charles H. Brewer & Baldwin, F. 0. J. Smith and John T. Smith et al. This was @ case of a bill in equity brought by the complainants, as assignees for Professor Morse, of a right to use said Morse’s telographic inventions on a line from Boston to Provincetown, and asking to enjoin the re- spondents, who were erecting and using a tel egraph between the same places, under a license to use the same inventions from F. O. J. Smith, esq. The ground taken by the complainants was, that the said Smith had no interest in the said inventions, and could give no licenses. After a full hearing of both par- ties, and an ee of Smith’s title, the court, Mr. Justice Curtis, decided that Smith was and is the legal owner of an undivided one-fourth part of all said Morse’s telegraphic inventions, and as such entitled to grant valid licenses to any one to use the same, and re- fused to enjoin the respondents. The di is quite an important one, and will be received with much interest by all who are interested in the telegraphic business of the country. The case was argued by John C.

The steamer Arago from Havre, with four days later news from Europe, arrived at New York yestorday, having left Cowes on tho 24th of October at midnight. The Arago brings three hundred passengers. Tho steamer America arrived at Liverpool on the 221; the Washington was off Cowes on the 20th. The capture of Kinburn is confirmed. A steamer squadron lies at the mouth of the Dnieper, commanding the entrance to Nizo- laieff and Cherson. res . The Russians blew up the fortifications of Oczakoff on the morning of the 18th. . Thirty thousand Allies landed on the penin- sula of Tendra on the same morning of the capture of Kinburn, but no intelligence has been reccived of their operations there. The Paris Constitutionnel explains the ob- ject of this movement of the Allied ficet. ainst Nicolaieff, that journal says, an expe- dition would be injudicious, as the fleets can- not approech it, and a land force will have to attack it. But the presence of the Allied fleet in the lake serving as an estuary to the Dnie- per and the Bug, which may be entered by the Straits of Kinburn, would enable them to cut off the communication between the Crimea and the Western Provinces of Russia. The road that leads to the Crimea, and by which the reinforcements from Bessarabia proceed, is constructed on the side of the lake, and could be commanded by tke Allied cannon. In order, however, to enter the lake, Oszakoff, which commands the Straits ef Kinburn, had to be carried. The entrance to the Straits of Kinburn is practicable for vessels of heavy draught, and the lake offers, likewise, a depth sufficient for the purpose in view. Sir Wm. Molesworth died on the 224. Another bread demonstration took place at Hyde Park, in London, on Sunday. z here is nothing important from the Crimea. The London Times announces the recall of Gen. Simpsor, and the Morning Herald states that Gen. Codrington will succeed him as com- mander of the English forces in the Crimea.

Our people have refused by a decided yote the right of way to the Alexandria and Wash- ington reilroad, within our private limits, ‘subject to such restrictions as the City Connetl may preseribe,’’ but this is far from a final settlement uf the quostion, and can be viewed in no other light than exhibiting a want of confiience in those who are now at the head of our municipal affairs. The fear that tue City Council might allow direct con- nexion with the Orange rvad, though certain- ly groundless, settled the question.
