The l'on of to-day announces that when Marshal Ryders Inet evening took Mr. Wm. Walker. the filibuster, to General Cass, Sec- Yetary of State. for instructions as to what dis- position he should make ‘of him, Whe latter informed him that the Exeeutive branch of the Government had no jurisdietion over the ease, which was one coming under the cog- nizance of the judiciary only; and that he. the Secertary of State, had no authority to an- thorize his detention in eustedy. So he was accordingly promptly set at liberty. The T’wiau also sets at rest the Infe//igen- cers very last mare's nest, charging the Secre- tary of the Treasury with delaying the issue of the proposed new Treasury Netes until after he could advertise for proposals to engrave them. It seems that he made contracts to that end on the very day after the passage of the Treasury- note bill.

The meeting, we learn from the Pennsyivanian, had been called for at half-past seven o'clock, but the immense hall being already filled to overflowing, at about seven o’ctock, the meeting was organized at ence, and proceeded with great spirit and enthu- siasm. During its progress, from 8 to 9 o'clock, and even later, immense delegations from some of the upper and also the lower wards arrived with banners and masic ; and the atreet in front of the hall was for an hour of more utterly im- passable, from the immense multitude who were y unatic to obtain admission to the hall, and who continued to linger in the vicinity des. pite the storm. .

Waar Mico? Have Been Exeecrep.—lit seems that Mg. F. P. Stanton is so soon aware that he burned his fingers in recently calling together the Kansas Legislature. That body have passed a bill nominally to reorganize the militia of the Territory, but really designed to depose any Governor the General Government may send to the Territory. This act makes it the duty of the Legislature to elect the general . officers of the militia, and authorizes a major- ity of them, rather than the Governor, to call out the militia and employ them at will. Stan- ton instantly realized that the enactment of such a law amounted to naked revolution, and vetoed it. But be had gone too far; for, snap- ping their fingers at his veto, the Legislature immediately passed it over his head by a two- thirds vote; and followed that action by the prompt election of Jim Lane and his personal gang of cut-throat abolitionists to be the said general militia officers. Of course, this pre- cious effort to place the military authority of the Territory wholly in Jim Lane’s irresponsi- ble and dangerous hands is utterly illegal—the Legislature having no authority thus to.strip the Governor 6f the Territory of authoity vested in hint by the Government of the Uni- ted States. The attempt, however, shows how completely Mr. Stanton has suffered himself to be made a tool of by the Topekaites. He has raised a whirlwind by the folly of his am- bition, which he proves as impotent to control as acbild of six years of age. Tur Ixterwis ance Mvss.—A late Washing- ton letter to the New York L:rpress sets at rest, past peradventure, a very silly but ehar- acteristic story not long since published in the New York [-ra/d, concerning the personal re- lations of the Costa Rican and Nicaraguan Ministers at this point. As it concerns the honor of two gentlemen for whom we entertain the greatest personal respect. we republish it for the information of our diplomatic patrons especially. who number. we are happy to be able to say, every gentleman directly or indi- rectly connected with a foreign legation in Washington. as well as all others of the same class who reside elsewhere in the United Sta'es. as quite a numter of them do: Messrs.

Lrisarci received a tart reply toa note addressed to Senor Molina, asking If that gentle- man bad tarnished certain information to the Herald's correspondent. Mr Molina referred him to the editor for information. hinting that perhaps Mc. Irisarri knew more of the manner in which these f4ets became known than any one else.’* ’ From these statement» it might be. naturally inferred that Messrs. Molina and Escalante must be in direct and constant communication with the Washingt correspondent of the Harald. freely informing him of the contents of their cor respondence with other Central American Min- isters, &e. Now, on the receipt here of the fore- going statements respecting Mr. frissari, it was generally ier that there could be no trath about Mr. Molina’s writing that last reply; for if it was true that ‘ Molina and Exealante thonght that Irisarri had been in communication with Walker for a long time, and that the Adminis- tration as well as Vosta Riea bad been deceived as to the trne position of the parties,” and Mo- lina and Escalante had communicated their eforesaid thoughts either directly or indirectly to the Herald’s Washington correspondent or to any other person, (and how otherwise could the Her- ald’s correspondent have yot at theirthonghts ?) then it was supposed here in certain high circles that gentlemen oecapying the high position of Messrs. Molina and i: alante, near a foreign government, would not and could not have writ- ten with propriety that tart reply set forth by the Herald's Washington correspondent As the mutter concerns somewhat the honor of the parties, and has a public interest so far as the supposed friendly relations between the Cen- tral American Ministers is concerned, your re- ter wrote toa friend of mine in New York to ‘lon Mr. trisarri, the Nicaraguan Minister wl Envoy Extraordinary, at his house jn Brooxlyn, (for he is not, and has not been here for several weeks,) and request him to furnish correct Information respecting the alleged cor respondence between and the Central Amer Ministers.

DesPatcaes FROM CommonorE PavLpING. Below will be found two letters, received from Commodore Paulding, yesterday, at the Navy. Department, explaining his_action in the late seizure of Wm. Walker and his filibustering followers in the midst of their initiation of just such another system of arson. and plunder as distinguished their former course in the same country of *‘a friendly nation.”’. We are in- debted to the Union of this morning for the privilege of laying them before the Star's read- ers. Apropos—All the other accounts & the oc- eurrences of which they treat, come, of course, from the filibusters themselves, as all first ac- counts in @énnection with their operations du- ring their previous raid upon Niearagua came from similar parties. The world know well how utterly and sweepingly untrue those ac- counts were. Subsequent accounts of the same occurrences thus magnified and bespattered into acts of heroism, American glory, &c., re- vealed them to be bloody and wanton brutali- ties and atrocities quite as revolting to right minded persons ns the most reprehensible acts of the most pestiferous pirates that infested the Spanish Main a century and a half ago, and quite as inexcusable. With the remembrance of this fact so fresh in the public mind. we take it for granted that our countrymen everywhere will await the publication of the other side of the story hefore giving credence to the asper- sions on the fair fare of the gallant and patri- otic old Ameriean Commodore, which journals in the interest of the filibusters are alrendy spreading broadcast over the land : Frag-suip Wapasu, Of Aspinwall, Dec. 15, 1857 Sir: My letter of the 12th instant informed the Department that | bad brokea up the camp of jen. Walker at Punta Arenas, disarmed his law- followers, and sent them te Norfolk in the Saratoga. The General came heme with me, and will take pass: in one of the steatners for New York, where be will present himself te the mar- shal of the distriet. The Department being in possession of all the frets in relation to Walker's eseape with his fol- lowers from the United States, as wel! us the let- ters of Captain Chatard and Walker to me after he landed at Punta Arenas, the merits of the whole question will, | presume, be fully compre- hended. f could not regard Walker and his followers In any other light than as ontlaws who bud escaped from the vigilance of the officers of the Govern. ment, and left our shores for the purpose of ra- pine and murder; and | saw no other way to vin- dicate the law and redeem the honor ef our ceun- try than by disarming and sending them home [on dojng so, I am sensible of the responsibil ty I have incurred, and confidentiy look to the Gov- ernment for my justification. Regarded in its true light, the case appears to me a clear one; the points few and strong Walker came to Point Arenas from the United States. haviny, in vivlation of law, set on foot a military organization to make war upon a people with whom we are at peace. He landed there with armed men and munitions of war, in deti- ance of the puns of a ship-of-war placed there to prevent his landing. With nothing to show that be acted by mmthor- ity, he formed a cemp, hoisted the Nicaraguan . called it the @ Besdquasers of the Army of iearagua "and signed himself the commander- in-chief With this pretension he claimed the right of a lawfal povernment over ali reons and things Within sight of his fag. Without right or an- thority he landed fifiy men atthe mouth of the fiver Colorado, seized the fort of Castillo, on the Juau, captured steamers aud the goods of rehants ia transit to the fnterior, killed men, and made prifoners of the peacefal inhabitants, sending tothe harbor of San Juan dei Norte some thirty or fo.ty men. women and children in the steamer Morgan In doimy these things without the show of an- thority, they were guilty of rapine and murder. and must be regarded as outiaws and pirates They cau have nocluim to be regarded in any otber Lizbt Humanity, as wel! as law and justice, and na- tional honor, deminded the dispersion of these lawless men ‘The rewnant ¢f the miserable beings whosnr- rendered at Rivas were conveyed in this shiptast sume: to New York, and their sutterings are yet fresh in the memory of all on board Besides the sufferings that would necessarily be intlicted upon an innocent and vnottending people, these lawless followers of Gen. Walker, misguided aad deceived into a career of crime, would doubtless have perisbed in Central Amer- jea, or their mutilated and festering bodies Lave been brought back to their friends at the expense of their country. Forthe above reasons, which appear to my mind quite sufficient, | have disarmed and sent to the United States General William Walker and his outlawed and piratical followers for trial or for whatever action the government in its wis- dom may think proper to pursue.

Its evidently ‘a way” the Pauldings have. Goon News From tar Caweis.—The War Department have interesting despatches from Lieut. Beale, (formerly of the Navy.) seperiri- tending the construction of the military road from Fort Defiance to the Colorado, of Califor: nia. They bear date ‘ Colorado River, Cali- fornia, Uct., 18, 1857."’ Tle has arrived there in forty-eight days exploring and locating a capi-" tal wagon road from San Antonio, Texas. Eve- rything on the way was found favorable to hil purpose—good grass, water, &c., anda gently undulating country. We have no room to-day for his interesting details, which go to thow’ that the hitherto almost entirely unexplored region through which he passed, is destined to be very valuable. We quote a portion of wh: t | he says of the result of the camel experiment, as follows : »‘Unsupported by the testimony of every man of ef party, I should be unwilling to Mates that have seen them do ting with a fall determination that the Fe dears should be no half way one, { have subjected them to trials which no other animal could possibly have en- dared, and yet I have arrived here not only with- out the loss of a camel, but they are admitted by those who saw them in Texas, to be in as good condition oat when we left San Antonio Ta all onr lateral explorations they have carried Water sometimes for more than a week, for the nutles used by the men, themseives never even receiving « bucketful to one of them. . “They have traversed patiently with heavy packs on these explorations, countries covered sharpest volcanic rock; and yet their feet, to this hour, have evinced no symptom of tenderness or injury. With heavy packs they have crossed mountains, ascended and descended precipitous piaces. where an unjoaded male found it ditt enit to pass even with the assistance of the rider dismounted and carefully picking its way. I think it would be within bounds to say that in these various latesal explorations they have trav- ersed nearly double the distance passed over by our mules and wagons.’? Arnivep.—Mr. Wim. Walker, the filibuster againet Nicaragua. duly reached this city by the 7p m. train yesterday, accompanied by Marshal Rynders and Thos. Francis Meagher, Ksq-. his counsel. On entering the main hall at Brown's Hotel. some two or three dozen of the two or three hundred persons attracted there by the expectation of his arrival, wel- comed him with three cheers, which be acknow!- edged without display. declining to deliver the speech demanded of him. His sympathizers in the crowd appeared to us to he few and far he- tween, and principally of the class of youths who can, and on such occasions invariably do make more noise, each, than perhaps twenty full grown wen. For such a demonstration, the “ hobble-de-hoy’’—neither a man nor a boy— is. next to. the States hore-man. the greatest “feller” “out. A Magsiricenr Extertarywent.—Perhaps the most magnificent private entertainment that ever took place in this city, came off last wight at the hospitable residence of Postmaster General Brown. The throng of distinguished guests of all nations, and all the States of the Unign. as well as of the residents of the Fed- eral Metropolis, was immense. The propara- rations for their due entertainment were on a seale in proportion to their vast number. and a style in capital keeping with the good tnate of the hospitable host und hostess. There was uot a celebrity or person of distinction in Wash- ington at this time who was not there. On the whole, it was, indeed, a grand affair. Gov. Denver axp nis Lystruetions —A Washington letter in the New York Tribune intimates that dissatisfaction is felt by the Gov- ernment on account of not hearing of action on the part of Acting Governor Denver, after the receipt of his commission. To this story we have to say that the first intimation of the re- ceipt of his instructions by Gov. Denver, reached this city yesterday—not officially, but per tele- graph to the newspapers of the Atlantic coast. So the intimation above mentioned has no foundation whatever in fact. Tie Ixpiax Berea have advices that witl» in a day or two there will arrive still anotker delegation of the red men of our western for- ests and prairies—Yancton-Sioux, eighteen in number including two half breeds and their interpreters. Their arrival will make quite an army of real ‘‘native Americans’’ among us at this time.
