EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON CITY: WEDNESDAY... s+eeeees April 22, 1556. Advertisements should be handed in by # o’clock, m., otherwise they may not appear until the neat day. SPIRIT OF THE MORNING PRESS. The Union protests with much force and feeling agginst the course of the Pennsylva- man and the Harrisburg Patriot in en- dorsing the style of conducting the canvass of Mr. Buchanan for the Cincinnati nomination, in which the Washington Sentine/ indulges. The Intelligencer commends the President's recent speech at Annapolis for the good taste, patriotic sentiments, and interesting refer- ences it embraces. WASHINGTON NEWS AND GOssIP The National Water Works.—Those in- terested in the continued advancement and prosperity of the Federal city—the creation and ward of the General Government—need not despair at the treatment it seems likely to Teceive throughout this session at the hands of the House of Representatives of the United States, as manifested in the vote of the day before yesterday upon the Water Works ques- tion. Much of the existing hostility of honor- able members to the city of Washington (and a few of them cannot hear the name of the city called without breaking out with some accusation or other against it, which is wholly baseless) arises from the deliberate and sinister misrepresentations of parties, some of whom are citisens heretofore supposed to have some interest here. Others of these parties are of the class of hawks and buzzards who hover in the Congressional atmosphere, always sweep- ing around for prey. And, some of tho others, again, are almost entire strangers in Wash- ingtov, who, being speculators in charter- getting, go wherever a legislative body may be supposed to be open to their peculiar blan. dishments. Such parties have, for the last month, been plying the ears of the members of Congress with misrepreeentations concern- ing the facts invelved in the National Aque- duct question. Professing to be seriously alarmed at the alleged extravagance of the plan of General Washington to construct permanent Water Works for the supply of Government property here, they seek to make capital against it by representing it as & work for the benefit of the individual citizens of the Federal city. They know, while making such representations, that, as being constructed, no citizen of Washington is to be entitled to draw from it a gallon of water for any purpose whatever; which priv- ilege cannot be accorded by any power short @° that of Congress itself, and only on such terms as Congress itself may dictate They are busily engaged around the lob- bies of the House backbiting and maligning the character of this community, in order to justify and account for the disinterested mo- tives with which they profess to have entered upon the crusade against Washington city involved in their efforts to defeat the National Water Works appropriation, that they may feather their own nests by procuring Con- gress to charter themselves, individually, into a Washington Water Works Company. Most of the “ outsiders,” whether residing in Wash- ington or elsewhere, who have urged or recom- mended to any member cf Congress not to adopt the Senate’s Water Works amendment to the deficiency bill are in this scheme, as far as we canlearn. If a single man of them all fails to be laboring to turn a penny for himself while so doing, we have yet to learn his name. Not long since the prime movers of the band who are offering to take a charter to con- struct these works at less than the cost as esti- mated by those who are charged with their superintendence, hearing that the Legislature of Maryland, (moved to pity for the pecuniary ruin brought upon thousands of Chesapeake and Ohio Canal stockholders, bondholders, and business men of Maryland, the District, and elsewhere, by the State’s system of man- aging that work solely for the benefit of its rival—the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad) —was sbout to sell its controlling interest therein to the bondholders, under a pledge that the latter should raise the sum necessary to put the canal in complete order, went to Annap- olis, and representing themselves as capitel- ists, offered for it a higher price than the State authorities had agreed to take from thoee really interested in the efficiency of the canal. The arrangements for the transfer of the State’s interest in the work to the bond- holders and individual stockholders, at an appraised valuation, had been compieted, and the sale was about to be consummated, when these gentlemen made their offer of a higher Price Being unknown comparatively, in An- napolis, their representations with reference to their means of complying with such an agreement of course frightened the Legisla- ture from their original arrangement; az it would never do to face their constituents with for the State’s Property in the canal, than other responsible parties stood ready to give. The State accordingly flew from its bargain, and only found out when it was too near the termination of the session to repair the injury thus done, that it was a difficult matter to raise among the whole party of higher bid- ders, the money sufficient to pay for the oyster suppers and trimmings which went very far towards wheedling the members into that last act of bad faith towards the Chesa peake and Ohio canal company, and those whose property and business depend on the Propet management of that great enterprise. If some of them have the first red cent of the Jarge amount of money they proposed on that cccasion to pay, it will gladden the hearts of “diddled”’ Grocers, dry goodsmen, tailors, shoe- makers, batters, & , of Washington to learn the fact; as any member of Congress may as- certain by inquiring of the first city tradec- man he meets, We state these facts that the members of the House may understand Precisely the truth about this proposed scheme in liew of the National Water Works as being constructed under the pian long since adopted by Congress after careful investigation. It is neither more nor less than a scheme to enable a needy set of adventurers to caise the wind, by selling in Wall street or elsewhere, the eharter for a Washington Water Works company, they are seeking at the hands of National Legie- lature Nicaragua. —The New York correspondent of the Intelligencer, in that paper of yester- day states that on the Orisaba’s arrival at fas Juan del Norte the ogeuts of the Transit Cumpany laid up the river boats, pursuant te instructions from the owners in New York, and that Walker had made them large offers to continue to run them contrary to those in- structions. Thereby hangs a tale. Walker had laid a plan to seize the ocean steamer of the company on the Pacific side» on her trip to meet the last boat sent from New York by the company. His purpose was to place his followers on her and to sail for Punta Arenas. This was his original scheme for the invasion of Costa Rica. But the com- pany defeated his plan by sending agents to meet the Pacific boat on the ocean and warn her commander not to go in at San Juan del Sur. They met her on the ocean, within six hours sail of San Juan del Sur; and her com- mander, ‘according to instructions, proceeded straightway down to Panama, carrying a large number of unwilling fillibusters thither who had started on her from San Francisco only to join Walker Being disappointed in getting possession of the steamship, Walker was forced to invade Costa Rica overland, for which he was by no means prepared—the glowing letters from his army to the contrary notwithstanding. The same steamer carried out other agents of the company, charged with orders to the com- pany’s agent who manages the river boats (who had also been appointed the receiver to take charge of them under Walker’s act, by which he assumed to confiscate them) to lay them up at SanJuan. He obeyed that order, (it seems, by the Intelligencer's correspondent) and thus, we presume, prevented the two or three hundred fillibusters who went out on the Orizaba, from reaching Walker, as a march overland to him is impossible, and no other means of conveyance is to be found there. It-is not wonderful, therefore, that Walker offered the agent large promises of reward if he would keep the boats running on the river. We have every reason to be- lieve that they are at this moment safe from any raid of fillibusters, through the protection of a man-of-war of England, France, or the United States; so that Walker's hopes of aid from the fillibusters, who last went out to join him from New York and New Orleans, havo been cut off in all probability. We are ex- pecting that the Orizaba on her return to New York will bring back her cargo of adventurers with very long faces on them, indeed. Mr. Buchanan.—The reader will perceive from an item in our telegraphic column that Mr. Buchanan has reached New York, His true friends, and all true Democrats will re- joice at his opportune arrival, because it af- fords him an opportunity at once to put a stop to the suicidal system of advocating his nomination, to which imprudent men among his immediate friends are now resorting. The Portsmouth.— We understand that the sailing instructions to the U.S. ship-of-war Portsmouth, now laying at Norfolk ready for sea, left the Department this morning. Her destination is to join the East India squadron We presume that she will sail in a day or two. Confirmed —Yesterday, the Senate con- firmed the nomination of Mr. A. W.

[BY TELEGRAPH ] New Yorx, April 23.—The Havre and Southampton United States mail steamshi Arago arrived at her dock at about 9 o’cloc. this morning, with dates from thoze to the 9th inst—four days later than the advices by the Africa. Mr. Buchanan is a passenger. The Arago brings no news of striking im- portance. The steamship Arabia, from Boston and Halifax, had arrived out [SEconD pDispatca.] The Arago brings one hundred and thirty assengers. Among them is Henry Dubois, inister from Holland to the United States. The Arago left Cowes on the morning of the 10th. She came south of the Banks, expe- rieaced moderate weather, and saw no ice. She brings the second edition of Wednes- day’s (the 9th) London Times. The steamship LoepetT e from this port, arrived in the Clyde on the 4th. The Fer: mann, also from this port, arrived off Cowes on the 6th; and the Arabia, from Boston, at Liverpool on the same day. The French steamer Barcelona, arrived out on the Sth. The two English steamers that went in search of the Pacific had returned to Galway, after a fruitless cruise of nine days. The proceedings of the Peace Congress con- tinue. It is said that Austria gives trouble by persistently refusing to fix the time for evacu- ating the Principalities. Austria's pretext is the necessity of protecting the country against disorder until a regular administration shall have been established, though she is bound by the treaty to qu t the Ottoman territory on the conclusion of peace. Russia, is is said, strongly adheres to Aus- tria’s position. Later intelligence, however, states, that the Austrian troops were leaving the Princi- palities Tie French army is to be reduced from six hundred thousand to four hundred thousand troops. It is believed that Russia will send an am- bassador to Turin as soon as the ratifications are exchanged. Advices from St. Rosie | prohibition of the export of nas been repealed. The Czar had issued an ukase, stating that the two fleets hitherto maintained by Russia in the Black Sea and Sea of Azoff, are not to be reinstated. Many grain laden vessels, lying at Odesea, have received orders to proceed to Marseil'es. A considerable fall ead taken place in the market at the latter place in consequence. It was reported in Berlin that the British Cabinet had decided to reject the proposition for a capitulation of the Sound dues on the terms offered by Denmark, but would make a proposition itself. A dispatch from Paris states that the Allies have sent orders to their fleets to raise all blockades which have kept Russian vessels in neutral ports. The French government denies contempla- ting sending any expedition to Madagascar, but advices from Tou'on show the contrary The Russian Minister of Finanee- issued a notice on the Sth instant, that in consequence of the signing of a treaty of peace, merchant veseels of the Western powers would be ad- mitted to Russian ports Le Nord states that the exchange of ratifi- cations would be effected by the 20th. The ship Red Gauntlet, from Melbourne, reports that the ship Schomberg had gone to pieces. The English money market was but little changed. The funds however, were rather heavy, and foreign securities wero improving W. D. Young, shipowner, and insurance broker of Liverpvol, had failed for a large amount. The London corn market was steady. Reports from the manufacturing districts are favorable. THE MARKETS. The Liverpool cotton market since the de- parture of the Africa, had been steady, and [sey were firmly maintained. The sales of onday were 10,000 and Tuesday 8 00 bales. The advices from the United States had no effect on the market. The Manchester market was unchanged and state that the ussian produce rm. Under heavy arrivals of breadstuffs, wheat and corn were rather easier Good flour was unchanged in price, but inferior Western was neglected. Beef and pork were flat at unchanged rates.
