WASHINGTON NEWS AND GOSSIP. Tue Usiren States ann Nicaragua — When transmitted, the Star was prompt to give the public an inkling of the character of the last important dispatch from the American Secre- tary of State to Gen. Lamar, the American Min- ister to Nicaragua, because it was understood to embrace a full foreshadowing of President Bu- chanan’s truly American policy with reference to the future interests of the United States, in connection with their Central American rela- tions. Doubtless the Scar’s readers will remember our comments on the paper on the occasion in question. The recent promulgation of import- ant extracts from it, which first found their way into the New York Herald, from Nica- ragua, has served to substantiate all we said of it in advance. That it isone of the ablest, most important and truly American State papers that has so far emanated from any branch of this Government is so apparent that, without a single exception, every journal of whatever leaning in politics that has so far spoken of it, has bailed its emphatic positions and conclusive reasoning as being precisely what the exigencies of our national interests in Central America require, and as embracing the policy, for our Government’s future in that quarter, in support of which all patriotic American citizens may be expected cordially to unite. The truth is, all nowcomprehend the vast- ness of our national interests in Central Amer- ica, the results of the geographical position of those States in connection with the two great great divisions—the Atlantic and the Pacifio— of our own country. Whether we do or do not desire to have the future of Central America involved with our own future, Providence has ordained that it should be, and there is no help for it. The question is not whether we will mix ourselves up with Central American af- fairs; but whether, with our arms folded, we will permit Central American affairs, which Providence has mixed up with ours, so to event- uate as to prove a serious injury to our national future. There is nothing whatever embraced in the document to which we refer indicative of a disposition to interfere unduly in the af- fairs of Nicaragua, or to sacrifice in the future policy of the Government of the United States a single interest of Nicaragua, substantial or immaterial. Nevertheless, it claims for us all our rights; and above all things, the right to receive from Nicaragua, hereafter, treatment in her official intercourse with as such as the Government of the United States would not hesitate to exact, at all hazards, from any pow- erful and usually considerate foreign power— such courtesy as we have not, up to this time, exacted from Nicaragua, only in consideration that she may not lay claim to a position in in- ternational affairs of a government conducted strictly in accordance with international law and the comity of nations. Monsieur Belly’s project of an European pro- tectorate of the Nicaraguan route of inter- communication between the two great divisions of our country, is blown by Gen. Cass sky-high in this memorable paper—because, to explode any propensity of Nicaragua to be cheated into such dreams by the vagram Frenchman, was doubtless its main object. On this head he says: “+ But the establishment of a Political protecto- rate by any of the powers of Europe over any of the independent States of this continent, or in other words, the introduction ofa scheme of pol- icy which would carry with it a right to Inter- fere in their concerns is a measure to which the United States have long since avowed their op- position, and which, should the attempt be made, they will resist by all the means in thetr power. The reasons for the attitude they have assumed have been fully promulgated and are every where well known. They are founded on the Political circumstances of the American continent, which has interests of its own, and ought to have a pol- icy of its own, disconnected from many of the questions which are continually presentin. them- selves in Europe concerning the balance o! power and other subjects of controversy arisiag out of the condition of its States, and which often tind their solution or their postponement in war. It is of paramount importance to the States of this bemisphere that they should bave no entangling union with the powers of the old world—a con. nection which would almost Recessari!y make them parties to wars having no interest for them, and which would often involve them in hostili- ties with the other American ‘States, contiguous or remote. The rs which have passed by since this principle of separation was first an- nounced by the United States have served still more to satisfy the people of this country of {ts wisdom, and to fortify tueir resolution to main- tain it, happen what may.” Upon the right of the Central American States to manage the isthmus inter-oceanic routes within their boundaries, which are now of so great importance to the United States, to our detriment, it says : “ The aes of events has rendered the in- ter-oceanic routes, across the narrow portions of Central America, vastly important to the com- mercial world, and especially to the United Slates, whose possessions, extendin; along the Atlantic and Pacitic coasts, demand the » lest and easiest modes of communication. While the just rights of sovereiguty of the States occu- pying this region should always be respected, we shall expect that these rights will be exer- cised in aspirit betitting the occasion and the wants aad circumstances that have arisen, Soy- ereignty bas its duties as well as its rights, and none of these local governments, even if adinin- istered with more regard to the just demands of otber nations than they bave been, would be per- mitted in a spirit of eastern isolatio: to close these gates of intercourse on the great highways of the world, and justify the act by the preten- sion that these ayeniues of trade and travel belong to them, and that they ehoose to shut them, or, what is almost equivalent, to encumber them with such unjust Tepolations as would prevent their general use. The United States do not seek either the control or the exclusive use of these rontes. They desire that the advantages should be equally common to all nations. Nor do they claim to interfere with the local govern- ment in the determination of the questions con- nected with the opening of the routes, and with the persons with whom contracts may be made for that purpose. What they do desire—and meen & accowplish—is that the great {pterests invoived in this subject should not be sacrificed to any unworthy motive, but should be guarded from abuse; and tbat when contracts are fairly. entered into with American citizens they should not be wantonly violated. Other nations will no doubt pursue the same course {a relation to their citizens or subjects who may have similar inter- ests? Arny Lire ix Usau.—We have received the following ftam an old favorite of the Star’s readers —the most readable of all the Utah let- ters of the times : My letters to you have always been dated at civilized points: whet do you say to an epistie with this commencement ? 4 Baut Lake City, Uran Ternirory, August 31 Dam SiR: Will you have a little news from this famous place; a litte Army gossip, and a Little gowsip about the saints?

Around t! two, bouses is an immense wall, built of stone, enclésing the entire square, (about as large as one of your Washington squares.) The gates are heavy and strong, like the sally-port of a fort. Within this wall ase al- ways forty or fifty armedmen, Brigham is quite a domestic man; perhaps he is a /stt/e afraid to go at large, and then be bas, no doubt, a fine so- prt jbo He must. be, literally, a lion at. one of his wives’ soirees. = Salt Lake city is beautifully laid out and tbe approach to it is very fine.

Navan.—aA New York exchange paper says : ‘tA very interesting event took place on board the revenue cutter Harriet Lane previous to her departure for Paraguay to co-operate with the Naval fleet ordered there. It was no less than the presentation to Captain Faunce of a splendid pel pepo from Miss Harriet Lane, and yold- headed canes from Hon Howell Cobb to as Jobn Faunce, Lieutenants A. D Stanford, D.C.

Madam Gassier, Miss Phillips, and Madam Maretzek, are there winning such applause as is rarely bestowed in that quiet and compara- tively quaint city—to say nothing of that be- stowed upon the famous Amodio and Brignoli As the troupe embark at Charleston, on the 4th proximo, for Havana, their stay here is necessarily limited to three nights, on each of which the Washington theatre will, of course, be crowded to its utmost capacity; for in no other American city is a larger portion of the community competent to appreciate such music as they render. Euinexce.—An exchange paper noticing the decease of a pugilist, who had acquired consid- erable notoriety, styles him the eminent pugil- ist, Mr. So-and-so. This is giving the word a broader signification than usual, and we shall not be surprised after a while to hear of the distinguished assassin, the celebrated in diary, the renowned murderer. The distin¢- tion between fame and notoriety is a broad one, and it is a sad evidence of bad taste to ‘evnfuse appellations belonging respectively to the two classes—the famous and notorious. Commopore Ssusrick.—We are informed that Com. Shubrick, the flag-officer of the Bra- zil Squadron, will leave this city on Monday next for New York, where he will sail in his fiag-ship, the Sabine, on the following day, Perhaps.

A handful of soldiers thwarted their desperate design. he city article of the London Times seizes upon a remark in a New York leadin; Paper, that the European creditors of Mexi may be treated as usurers, to read a lecture upon repudta- tion in general. Jt regards the hint as important, and suygests that the capitalists who may be dis- posed to listen, during the coming abundance of money, to tempting invitations from the other side of the Atlantic, had better take warning from it. ‘The Times denounces the Stadt duties, and shows that the Government will incur a heavy Tesponstbility if they delay for a single month to aie Hanover notice that it required to terminate the ill-advised treaty of i844.

The pian is to found a bank which shall discount only to the extent of its own capital. Its deposits are not to be used, any part ofthem, by the bank, but ure to be retained always in actual cash to the order of the several depositors; the deposits will consequently be always, to the fall amouat,on hand in coin. The revenue of the bank (other than the interest on its own capital) is to consist of small banking commissions charged to depositors; on smali accounts more, oun large accounts less. The largest commission proposed is 1-10 of 1 percent, on $5 ona person's income of $5,000 per annum; on larger accounts, as low as 2,000 of 1 per cent » and on very large accounts a small annual in lieu of commissions. As its projectors propose to limit the dividends to 7 per cent., these charges will be reduced with the increase of business, and will always be kept down to the amount actually necessary to Pay expenses. {t is urged by the projectors that if this bank be in first-rate hands and consequent- ly its credit perfect,? its certificates of deposit representing actual coin in New York, will be the most desirable medium of remittance, and will be used not to circulate as money, but for purposes of remittance to an extent sufficient to sustain the bank. Sees ee Tue Socizty Istaxvs —From letters in the California papers received by the last mail, it appears that the Governors of two of these Islandx have applied for the admission of their territo- ties into our Union. It seems thatin June last the King of the Society Islands was dethroned by the Governors, by whom he had been raised to the throne. His acts, however, savored so much of tyranny that the Governors declared the kingly office vacant. The King’s flag was then struck in presence of the representatives of Great Britain, France, and the United States. Their ternal affairs of the Government went on as usual. The Governers of the Fakaa invited the Ameri- ean Consul to a dinner where they presented themselves, their Islands, and their government unconditionally, for admission into the Union. eri eee ee il Jeremiah Austin. master of the whaling ship Betsy Williams, ontriafat Boston has been found guilty and sentenced to pay a fine of $100, and also assesshd $800 damages to the negro Jobn Francis, whom he left on an uninhabited island.

Mr. D.R Biacklock is proposed as a candidate for Alderman from the Fourth Ward The American voters of the same Ward are sum: to rule America at the Corporation school house this evening. Political, less than railroad, interests enter now into our municipal politics, and frequently the name of a party is used to forward views not } mentioned in either the Philadelphia or Cincin- nati platform. The ladies are busy in Preparing for the com- ing fairs, and the railroad officers in making up their reports for the annual meetings s Protracted meetings are in progress at ‘several of the Methodist Churches, and we hear that a number are under conviction and anxiously await the blessing that shall free them from the bond- age of sin.
