From Kansas, the Union has the following despatch, from a reliable source : ‘* LBavENWorTH, October 7.—We have carried both branches of the Territorial Legislature. Our majority in Leavenworth county is 250. The union between our Northern and Southern Demo- erats is cordial and complete *’ The Union publishes the sabjoined card from Mr. W. T.

Itis well known to all who are familiar with the affairs of Statham, Smithson & Co. that they, to the last, promptly redeemed all of their notes; and just as soon as they were satistied that the Spirit of the public was opposed to the issuing of small notes in the District, they, cheerfully ac- quiescing to public opinion, immediately called in all of their issue and discontinued the issuing of notes of all denominations. No one ean with truth assert that the firm of Statham, Smithson & Co., ever under any cir- cumstances, wronged any man out of one cent; but, on the contrary, it is susceptible of proof that they wound up their business meting out — to every man who had transactions of any ‘ind with them. | trust, sir, that you will have the goodness “ee this explanation a place in your paper. ery respectfully, Wx.

Fat or Lrcxxow not Conriruep —A letter bas been received at Boston from Calcutta, dated August 10, which makes no mention of the fal! of Lucknow, bat simply states that Havelock had received reinforcements and was advancing on the place.

I> The Baltimore Sun says that, pursuant to 2 call, a number of persons assembled last night, in Monument Square, but for what specific object none present seemed to know. There was no or- ganization, and after some little talk about the suspension of specie payments and the condition of the banks, the little crowd dispersed without having accomplished anything. There were from 200 to 250 persons present, but there was no one te call the meeting to order. I> The list of suspensions published in the New York independent this week embrace one hundred and forty-two names of business houses Very few of them, however, are in Southern States. Twenty are in Boston, fifty-two in New York city, eight in Philadelphia, besides bank- ers and others at St Louis, Louisville, Cincin- Bati, and other points West. Punnily enough, the Independent registers the failure of its own proprietors, Bowen & McNa- mee, amongst others. TF Revertixc Mrepsx.—A revolting murder was committed near Pittsburg, Pa., on Wednesday night. Three persons entered the house of an aged German uamed Wiseman, who lived with his daughter in a secluded spot on East Liberty road, near Pittsburg. Their object is supposed to have been to commit a rape on the daughter. The latter was the first to discover their entrance inte the house. Mr. Wiseman, while protecting her, received several severe blows with a heavy iron bar on the bead, fracturing bis skull. He died shortly after. Three men have been arrested on suspicion of being the perpetrators of the murderous deed Their names are James Kelly, John Richards and Daniel Deany. SS EXTENDED ARRANGEMENTS FoR Paoctaixe Evxorzax News.—In consequence of the tem- porary failure of the Atlantic telegraph cable, we, in conjunction with our associates of the New York Associated Press, have decided to employ a substantial news yacht at Fewfound- land, for the purpose of boarding, off Cape Race, all the steamers from Liverpool, Southampton, Havre, Bremeu, Glasgow, &c., &c., and in this eaterprise—so important to the whole public of the United States and British American Proy- inces—we hope to receive the hearty co-operation of al! the owners and commanders of the several steamship lines now established. If the press should be seconded in this arrangement by the commanders of the steamers, there is no reason to doubt but that we shall be able to obtain the news from a large majority of the steamers pasz- ing within ten or fifteen miles of Cape Race, and by evailing ourselves of the New York and New- foundiand Telegraph Line. which is kept in ad- mirable order, we shall be able to spread the Eu- Topean news before our readers in about six o- eight days from the time it leaves the English shores. The new yacht—a substantial, well-manned schooner of about 100 tons—will be stationed ten miles due south of the Cape Race light, and will carry a red fisy, with a black ball in its centre. At night the yacht will display two bold lights, and at sort intervals will send up sky-rockets. Should the yacht, from any temporary cause, be removed from her regular station, as above, com- mandets are nevertheless requested to throw over the news parcel as near as possible at the point Jadicated, in the hope that the same may be sub- sequently picked up in season to make the intel- ligence valuable to us ‘This arrangement will in penditures, but the Assoc: assume the burden, not doubting but that the public will properly appreciate their efforts and sacrifices to promote the interests of the commer- ¢ial public and pleasure of the general reader. a volve very heavy ex- jated Press cheerfully ur “Lon”? writes to the Baltimore Sun : aon Guatemalian Minister, Mr. Irisarri, has Spplicaiak'¥ urged upon the Government the fea ton of the provisional government of : my for nitiim.

A. G. Brown, who, we pe! isa didate for re-election. here is no other member of the body for whose continuance in the public service the people of this Distric feel more solicitude; for they know him well for a tried and trusty man in all his relations, per- sonal as well 23 political. While the strictest among the strictof the Demceratic sect, his clear head, true public spirit and great experi- ence have enabled him to take enlarged views of all public questions, and thus to steer cléar of provinciatigm. in the tone of his statesman- ship. His long service in Congress has made him a thorough legislative attorney, which, backed by his proverbial industry, renders him really invaluable to his constituents in his pres- ent position; for it would take any other and inexperienced gentleman who could possibly be chosen to the Senate in his stead, years on years to learn men and things here necessary to be known, as well as he knows them, ere onecould become as useful a Senator as Governor B. We are very sure that in his contest he enjoys the hearty sympathy of all around us. Tux Costa Rican Intriave.—We mentioned incidentally, on Tuesday. that the latest devel- opment of the purpose of Costa Rica, concern- ing Nicaragua's future, is a bold project for swallowing up the latter’s nationality. Since penning that article, we have seen the (Costa Rican) Cronica of the 2d ultimo, which con- tains a furious leader, pointing with great force and fury to that policy, and urging on Ni ragua, With threats, measures intended evi- dently to make her an easy prey to England’s agent in all this business. We quote the Cronica, as follows: **Mr. Walker bad not yet left the shores of Nicaragua, thanks to the combined efforts of the other States, when there rose two men of oppos- ing ideas—party leaders, bitter enemies—to dis- pute, without consideration of any kind, for the first magistracy of the State. With wounds still open and bleeding, neither party having laid down its arms, and menaced with destruction, the State was surrounded with great dangers, and in imminent peril of lowing the bry, fem nationality. Had a single drop of blood 2 shed, Nic: ua would have ceased to form one ofthe States of Central America. ‘* But Costa Rica, carrying to a high point her intense self-denial, and sacrificing her material interests, put in motion ny tool means to bring about an arrangement Iween the oppos- ing parties. Whether she attained it or not, we are not informed, but we do know that she allayed the tempest which threatened an immediate cri- sis, which of itself wax no small good fortune, and the quarrels were laid aside so that future circumstances. might decide the result. FEvery- thing led to the belief that an election of the first sate would be held without loss of time, and that the will of the people—the only compe- tent tribunal in the case—would be obtained. This was the just, regular and possible way that matters might attain, for the first time in that Tepublic, an appearance of legulity. This is what should have been done in order to legalize the primary steps; but this was demanding too much from those men, who, without considering for a moment the new calamities that would ac- crue to their country, sacrifice ali things, and even abandon their honor in their exaggerated personal aspirations. “If the election for President went on, sup- posing they possessed the sympathies and merit Recessary, one of the two would have been elected, and then there would have been no terms of conciliation. Inthe other event, a third party, which is the most probable, would have obtained the popular vote.’ Costa Rica has possession of the castle com- manding an essential point of the transit route. She holds it by virtue of a contract to which the present government were compelled to as- sent. Viz: She agrees to give up at the end of ten years on the paymentof her expenditures for its repair and improvement, which she now claims to be at the rate of $15,000 per annum. If Nicaragua cannot then pay the sum total due, she (Costa Rica) may hold it for ten years longer. Her obligation, however, is to protect the integrity of the transit route in Nicaragua’s behalf. But she is evidently using her privi- lege to enable her the easier to rob Nicaragua not only of the route, but of her nationality itself. . It will be perceived from the quotation we make above that Costa Rica is seeking for a pretext to blot out Nicaragua's separate exist- ence as one of the States of Central America. Thus the evidently desired civil war under the joint presidency of Martinez and Jerez not hav- ing eccurred to afford her a pretext for making war on that Government, the seeks to force them to an election. Or, in other words, to some change of the government, out of which a more favorable state of things—war, turmoil, &c.,—for the triumph of her intrigues might arise. She has no fancy for peace and harmony in Nicaragua under the joint government of those who in times past were the chiefs of her rival and contending factions. She would have ‘one of the two to have been elected, and then there would have been no terms of conciliation.” “Or, some third party,”’ likely to prove more pliable for Coste Rican purposes. We quote the same article from the Cronica further, as follows : ~+ That government has not been recognized by Salvador; neither has it by the United Siates, and we believe that it will not be by our own. It is very natural that all nations should disown it. ** But what alarins our sense of justice very grea! Nr (we must say it) the detestable ingrati- tude that Nicaragua returns to Costa Rica for the eminent services she has rendered her. It is true that republic is so iniquitously represented by that parody of a government—for it is diffleult to believe that there is a single Nicaraguan that entertains evil ideas towards his benefactors— yet so it Is, Le so, in spite of every principle of morality. logic, and which is more, of our in- disputable rights acquired before and after the campaign, and sanctioned by equity, reason and ustice are ‘The boundaries of Costa Rica extended prope de all the left bank of the San Juan river, the ght and sion of which were recog- nized by Great Britain, the United States, and by Nicaragua herself long before the recent events. This is self eviaent and needs no explanation. ‘The cowardly and base manner in which she lost Possession of the river and steamers is also wel! known. The heroic efforts of Costa Rica, which the world applauds, tore from Walker that chan- nel of great succor—a never sufficiently praised “ which decided the fortune of the war. “Thy mensesacrifices of men and money by Costa Rica to maintain possession of the river are also well known, the present monthly expense of the garrisons to defend it costing her $15,000 Yet notwithstanding ali this that erring yovern- ment of two men, who stole the power of the State agaigst the will of the pe le, and in viola- tion of t t sucred requisitions, are now en- deavoring to make a contract with the Bauder- vil (Vi rbilt) Company, of the most onerous character, and that will entail terrible conse- quences, without counting upon the government of Costa Rica, which is not only in possession of the river, but is the most competent aad rightful party to intervene in and make all the arrange- ments. “Our government ix on its guard, and will not suffer itself to be defranded of its interests or its proper action; and, in every event, Nicaragua must bear the anathemas of public opinion in all nations, and the consequence of its perfidy.”’ It is clear, in our mind, from this last quota- tion, that delay in recognizing the government of Nicaragua is equivalent, practically, though undesignedly, to playing into the hands of Costa Rica. President Mora’s (of Costa Rica) mes- suge to his congress of 1857 is printed in the Cronica of the 9th ult. Like the young ladies postscript, its point of interest and importance is embraced in its last paragraph. That, in fact, exhibits clearly the ‘“‘ milk in the cocoa nut” quoted by us above from the Cronica of the 2d ult.; accounting satisfactorily for the vi- olent abuse of the existing and so unexpectedly successful and harmonious dual presidency of Nicaragua, in which the Costa Rican goyern- ment organ indulges. The paragraph of the message of President Mora, to which we refer, is as follows: “‘A special commissioner near the provisional government of Nicaragna wax received in a friendly manner, but unfortunately some of the aifcirs with which be was intcusted did not ar- tive at that happy conclusion which was to be ex- pected from an allied and neighboring Republic, siltation PRR I ceeentitiaaaiiettemermeertis whom Costa Rica always entertained the and telations, on account of the tual unites them,and in partic- ron of the common defence to which are called B hakgreeys the raiment not give pe that when in that Re- lic. chief will be at the head the adm! with tl which is becoming, and the A fiectsnns of Costa Rica regarding cer- in rights which belong to her, and the conveni- ie not of Nicaragua but of all Central merica, Goneteding @ publi basi: h is bei feed wm beleg | is which is being pro} on those rights, wi! Jarknow! “The ministers will inform you of the particu- a a ae abroad. “I salute you with the most cordial and pro- found respect for your solemn assembly, dress my humble prayers to Heaven for t cess of your deliberations and the prosperity of the nation. Juax Rirart Mona. **San Jose, September 6, 1857.” Had Presidents Martinez and Jerez been found facile for the purposes of England and Costa Rica, the fact that under their authority Nicaragua is at peace as never before, and com as being founded paratively prosperous, would have been a rea- son for Costa Rica to applaud their refusal to risk » change of Government, rather than for abusing them without stint. Mops or Procerpina 1x Maxine Pur- cHases oF Puaiic Laxps.—For the informa- tion of our readers we give the form of pro- ceeding to be adopted in making purchases of public lands. On application to the register of a land district to purchase a tract of land the purchaser is required to file a written “ ap- plication.” On such application the register endorses his certificate, showing the land is vacant and subject toentry. That certificate the applicant carries to the receiver, and it is the evidence on which the receiver permits pay- ment to be made, and issues his “ original re- ceipt,”’ the duplicate of which is handed to the purchaser as his evidence of payment, and which is required to be surrendered when a patent is forwarded from the General Land Office for delivery. The “original receipt’’ is handed to the register, who indicates the sale on his township plat, enters the same in his tract books, and it is transmitted by the regis- ter to the General Land Office with the month- ly abstract of sales and certificates of purchase. This is the formality prescribed to individual purchasers, and must be observed not only for their protection in securing titles, but for the protection of the interests of the Government. The law has established two offices ina land district, the register and receiver; and pre- scribed a mode of proceeding to serve as a check upon each other. If a claimant fails to observe the requirements, he does it at his peril. If he deposits money with any person connect- ed with the district office, even with a receiver without having first, as the law requires, filed awritten application with the register, he does so at his own risk, the Government not being responsible for any loss where the terms on which the law authorizes entries are departed from. From Cutxa.—The Navy Department has advices from Com. Armstrong of the East India squadron, dated Shanghai, July 15. The flag- ship San Jacinto left Hong Kong on the 16th of June, and arrived at Shanghai on the 23d. On her arrival off Woosung the U. S. ship Levant was discovered ashore on the north bank, but by aid from the San Jacinto was got off without having sustained any apparent injury. Having refilled her water tanks at Woosung the Levant left on the 26th. en route for Hong Kong. The U.S. ship Portsmouth arrived on -the 13th July at Woosung, last from Hong Kong. Com. Armstrong states that his principal rea- son for leaving Hong Kong was, that the greater portion of the senior officers of the San Jacinto, himself among the number, were suffering very severely from the diseases incidental to that climate, and it was deemed absolutely neces- sary that they should seek a colder climate. The change had already been very beneficial to officers and crew. A Late advices had been received from Ningpo to the effect that the Chinese (Cantonese) and Portuguese have had an engagement, in which the former were the victors, and destroyed the vessels of the latter; but committed no outrage or depredation upon the foreign residents or shipping. Quiet is now completely restored there, and our citizens have no apprehension of any farther dis.urbances in that quarter. At Shanghai all is tranquil; our citizena pursue their commercial enterprises without any difficulty or molestation on the part of the Chinese people or authorities. Tae Former Farwers’ and Mecmayics’ Baxx or Wasuincron.—Many of the readers of the Star will remember that such a bank existed here for a brief period during the times of the defunct ‘‘Union Bank.’’ On the day before yesterday, we copied frem the Union an allusion to it, classing it among the things that were in the banking line, by which the good people of the District were made to suffer. Sub- sequently, we have been assured by Mr. Smith- son, one of its proprietors, that it never failed, but that it paid, as the face of its issue called for on demand, the $135,000 which it had out when the “‘ Union Bank’’ burst up. That not a dollar of its currency has been presented for liquidation without being instantly met. Under such cireumstances, it is but due to justice that we should thus make known the fact. AppoiNtMENTS OF Mait AGENTS.—For the purpose of insuring greater expedition in the transmission of the through express mail of the United States from Bultimore to Cincinnati, as well <3 increased safety, the Postmaster Gen- eral has appointed six special mail agents ata salary of $1,000 a year each. These agents will never lose sight of the mail from the time itis placed in their charge until it has been delivered into the hands of the proper officers to receive it, at §the ends of their respective routes. The gentlemen appointed are named as follows: Moore 8, Falls, Baltimore ; Charles A. Leas, Baltimore; Alfred H. Davis, Balti more; M. E, Price, Harper’s Ferry, Va.; D. A. Hoxie, Whetling, Va.; John R. Brooke, Newark, Ohio. Navat Cocrts or Inquiny.—In Court No. 1 the case of Mr. Hall was continued to-day. Commander Manning was examined in behalf of Mr. H. Before Court No. 2 the ease of Lieut. Fitzger- ald was up. Surgeon Wilson was examined to-day on behalf of the Government, and Lieut. Westcott for defenee. Walter D. Davidge, Esq., appears as counsel for Fitzgerald. Before Court No. 3 the case of the late Lieut. H. H. Rhodes was taken up and concluded. The evidence was documentary. Wreck or Banque Susan, or New Bep- Forb.—Information has been received at the State Department from the United States Con- sul at Paita, Peru, of the arrival at that port on the 20th of July last, of the American whale ship Phillipe de La Noye, Thomas M. Gardner, master, bringing the master and part of the crew of the barque Susan, of New Bedford, which vessel was lost on the 23d of June, at the mouth of the river Esmeraldos, on the coast of Ecuador. - Deciixes.—Col. John C. Hays, Surveyor General of California, has declined the office (lately conferred upon him by the President) of Surveyor General of Utah, the state of his affairs in California not permitting his accep- tance of it. Murper in Paxaua.—Infotmation has been received at the State Department from Amos B. Corwine, United States Consu! at Panama, of the murder, in’ the district of Sona, State of Panama, New Granada, by a native of that matters will be considered | with the additional feature of a heavy run on the Park Bank, created a sympathetic excitement here. The Bank sustained the run, paying all demands up to the hour of closing, at which time the excitement had measurably subsided. ‘The Park Bank is a new institution, has a capi- tal of $2,569,000, and at its last weekly statement to the Clearing House, October 3d, held $183,282 in specie, $1,615,747 in deposites, and had $159,- 135 of notes in circulation. A meeting of the Bank officers of New York, after consultation with the leading merchants, had, it is reported, resolved to provide means to the extent ot $6,000 - 000 for the purpose of bringing forward produce from the interior of the country. A dispatch from New. York states that the Bowery Bank had been suspended from the Clearing House and had closed. its doors, The Bowery is a small institution, having acapital of $950,642, and at its last statement, October 3, had $22,395 in specie, $606,932 in deposites, and $171,- 324 of circulation. From Harrisburg the intelligence is favorable to a moderate degree of relief being granted the Pennsylvania banks. The Senate had passed a bill legalizing the suspension until the Ist of April next. The bill passed is probably that agreed upon by a Special Committee of the House. Besides legalizing the suspension until the date named, it extends the stay of execntion six months longer than js now allowed by law; compels all banks to receive the notes of other banks ; no bank to have power to discredit the notes of other banks, save upona statement sworn to by the President’ and Cashier, and forwarded to the Governor, and filed in the Secretary’s office ; bank notes to be receivable in payment for revenue by tax collectors; and banks to redeem in specte thetr notes when paid for tolls or taxes: The House had rejected a motion to adjourn sine die to-day, and also refused to consider a bill establishtng a free banking system. The indica- tions were more promising than in the early days of the session that a reasonable degree of relief would be granted to the banks. Additional failures in Boston and New Yorkare reported. Among the sospensions in New York are Messrs. Harper & Brother, the leading publishers, and Messrs. Bowen & McNamee, the extensive dry goods firm, and the principal owners of Beecher’s “Independent.”” 5 The Herald says of the failure of the Harper's : <‘ We understand that Messrs. Harper & Bro.’s, book publishers, finding, in consequence: of the disorganized state of U domestic exchanges, that they could not effect collections from their country customers without a ruinous loss, de- cided to-day to suspend payments until the in- ternal commerce of the country shall be again on such a footing that debts due in the distant cities can be made available at New York. We have reason to believe that the assets of the firm exceed its liabilities by upwards of a million of dollars.” eos ets ales tise clay Tue Eartagvak ‘The violent shock of earthquake which occured at St. Louis about 4 o'clock on Thursday morning, was succeeded about seven minutes later by another shock, which was, however, less severe.
