By advices recently received from Nicaragua, our readers have been informed that steps have been taken by Mr. Squier, the American Charge de Affaires to the government of that republic, which will have an important influence in tighten- ang the bonds of amity and friendship between the two countries, in securing to American citizens rights and privileges guarantied to them by that republic, and in resisting and rendering nugatory the pretensions set up by the British government, on behalf of the so-called King of Mosquito, to a portion of the territory ot Nicaragna. If the course taken by Mr. Squier in this matter be sanctioned and vindicated by the American Secretary of State, (of which, however, there is some doubt, as we thal! show,) all of the benefits towhich we referred will be secured, and the much talked of eonnec- tion between the Atlantic and Pacific oceans, for commercial purposes, will be undertaken and com- pleted under American auspices. In the first interview between Mr. Squier and the Director of the republic of Nicaragua, the | American Minister took occasion to iterate the policy which Mr. Monroe promulgated when Presi- dent, concerning the interference of European governments in the affairs of the American conti- nent, by way of incidentally alluding to the British intervention in the Mosquito coast business. Seon after his presentation, reception, and recognition, Mr. Squier took upon himself the task of negotia- ting a treaty of commerce between Nicaragua and the United States, in which he sueceeded. The | treaty is now in Washington, but its contents are not yet known—further than that it confers privi- leges, which are claimed by Great Britain on be- half of the Mosquito King, and have reference to the contract previously entered into between the Nicaraguan government and a company of Ameri- ean citizens, under which the latter have the right to construct a ship canal, for commereial purposes, to connect the two oceans. Immediately after this treaty was concluded, Mr. Squier informed the French Consul at Guatemala of the fact, and suggested to him the propriety of procuring a eimiler treaty between France and Nicaragua, in which, we believe, he likewise was successful. This was an admirable piece ef diplo- macy on the part of Mr. Squier, for if the treaty between the French Consul and the Nicaraguan government has been coneluded, it makes France a party equally interested with the United States in resisting the pretensions of Great Britain on the Mosquito coast, and in preventing that power from earrying out its long and well laid scheme of en- eroaching on the territorial rights of Nicaragua. ‘This is all very good as far as it gees, especially Mr. Squier’s enunciation of the policy of Mr. Monroe, in regard to European intervention in the affairs of this continent. When we heard of the eourse pursued by Mr. Squier in this matter, we were much pleased, and more so, when we learned, bevides, that the NicaraguangSecretary of State had addressed a remonstrance to Mr. Chat- field, the English Consul General, protesting against the claims set up by his government on behalf of the Billy Bowlegs of Mosquito, and taken a decid- ed stand in the matter, in opposition to these claims and pretensions. Thisstep was undoubtedly taken in consequence of the tone of Mr. Squier’s remarks, | jg alike an usurpation of power, and an imposition | upon the public. when alluding to those pretensions, which might well justify the Nicaraguan Secretary of State in believing that, in resisting them, the government | | Lead of Cuba, and yet, when the first step towards briaging about annexation was taken by the inhabitants of Cuba themselves, he publicly took a different course, and put dowa the preliminary movements by force. Such was his course towards Italy, Hungary, Rome and Germany—in fact, in all our foreign relations, speaking one way, and acting in another, like the Thames boatmen, “looking one way, and rowing another.” We have no doubt, that in order to cover his blundering, Mr. Clayton will endeavor to make some capital out of the commercial treaty conclu. ded recently by Mr. Squier, and to silence, if he can, the contempt with which his backing out from the position assumed towards Great Britain, under his direction, in relation to the Mosquito businese, cannot but be treated. We shall show, however, that he 1s notentitled to any credit for bringing about that treaty; for moaths ago, Mr. Hise, American Charge de Affaires to Central America, concluded a very favorable commercial treaty with El Senor Silva, the Nicaraguan minis- ter, and that the same parties also concluded a treaty, securing to the United States the right of making the great oceanic canal between the Atlan- tie and Pacific Oceans. Now, the people of the Uni. ted States would liketo know what Mr. Clayton has done with those two treaties concluded by Mr. Hise. They were as favorable to the United States as the one recently brought about by Mr. Squier, and Mr. Hise, too, 1s entitled to credit, for he successfully combatted the whole of the English influence which was brought to bear against him by Mr. Chatfield, the English Consul. Has Mr. Clayton thrown them aside, or stuffed them into a pigeon hole, so that he might not be deprived of the opportunity of making some capital? He has done so, no doubt, but he has blundered into his own meshes, and is caught ina trap of his owa setting. How much longer, we would ask, is the repu- tation of our country to be trifled with in this way? —how much longer is the spirit of the Americana people to be mortified !—how much longer will General Taylor allow his administration to be brought into diseredit, if not disgrace, at home and before the world, by euch paltry shuffling and pet- tifogging conduct, as that adopted by Mr. Clayton, and persisted in since he became a member of the cabinet, in every matter connected with our foreign relations? | | Tux Ports axp Farner Matrnew.—Edgar A. Poe, the author of * The Raven,” and other poet- ical croakings, recently died of a melancholy at- tack in a hospital at Baltimore, and the fashionable literary world are lamenting his loss, as the death of a genius and a martyr. It was truly to be re- gretted. Mr. Hoffman, another fine writer of poetry and romance, recently appointed to a clerk- ship at Washington, has been compelled to leave his place, and seek refuge from the great enemy of his class, in a hospital. Lamentations for the liv- ing are mingled with tears for the dead. All this is very fine, but is does not mend the matter. Why not acknowledge the truth?’ Hard drinking 1s the besetting sin of our fine poets and romancers. A majorityfof them are so weak and helpless, that they need more the aid of Father Mathew than the worst loafers of the rum holes. Vanity, self-con- ceit, pride, contempt of honest labor, combined with a flighty imagination, and certain stray por- tions ot intellect, do the mischief. Common sease— thefbasis of all usefulness and success in life—they have not, and despise it as beneath their ethereal fancies. Asa class, they cultivate musie, poetry, and .the fine arts; but, rejecting common sense, they naturally take to the bottle. Itis only your men ot common sense, having no inflated preten- sions, no hysterical sensibilities, but plain, prac- tical, every-day men, of honest common sense, that sueceed. The era for minstrels and drunken carousels free of charge, has gone by. Practical business editors, and newspaper writers, theatrical managers, (not the stars, by any means,) and cer- tain enterprising locofoco politicians, are the men to go uhead. Hard knocks and common sense have superseded poetry, rum, and romance. Let Father Mathew take the matter in hand. of that republic would be sustained by the govern- | ment and people of the United States, toany length | to which it might go. ‘This was the condition of this important busi- nese at the last accounts from Nicaragua. The prineipal of non-interference by European govern- ments in the affairs of the republics of this con- tinent, which is a part of our national common Jaw, 18, for the first time since it was promulgated, in a fair way of bei t in practice towards verican Charge be sus- tained by his government. The question arises, will the American Secretary of State uphold Mr. Squier in the course whieh be has taken? We fear not. Already we see traces of Mr. Clayton's backing out from the responsibility, and preparing the way for a diegraceful retreat from the manly stand which Mr. Squier assumed as the represen- tative of the American government. He is at his old tricks And eubterfuges again, and has an- nounced, through the columns of one of his organs, the Courier and Enquirer, of this city, that “the American Charge (Mr. Squier) had no official au thority for his decisive language to the director of the Republic of Nicaragua, on the subject o resisting European aggressions on this hemisphere but acted on language used by Mr. Clayton in a casual unofficial interview ch is the paltry subterfoge resorted to by Mr. Clayton to evade the responsibility of the very proper and manly course adopted by Mr. Squier, towards the pretensions and aggressions of the British government on the territory of the Nicaraguan republic. Mr. Clay- ton, after a glaes or two of beer, or brandy and ‘water—in a moment when he felt very valiant and | strong—communicated to Mr. Squier the policy which he should pursue in the Mosquito busine fas soon as he reached his destination; Mr. Squier took the earliest opportunity of deing so; and now, when the step has been taken, and Mr. Squier | committed himeelf to the director of the Nicara- guan republic, Mr. Clayton, with characteristic shuMing, evades the responsibility, and lachry- | morely exclaims, forsooth, that the American Charge bad no “ official” authority for using the decisive language which he addreesed to that re- public on the subject of European aggression. Nothing can be more mean or shuffling than this conduet of Mr. Clayton. But it is not the firet time that he has evaded and pettifogged in this way, and in all probability it will not be the fost, if he eh ould unfortunately remain in the cabi- net for eny length of time. It is well known that he has repentedly expressed sentiments in private, fayorsile to the annexation of the | along smoothly. New Jensry Raitnoap Monoro.y.—The con- test in New Jersey, monopoly and anti-monopoly, waxes hotter and hotter. The antis must suc- ceed. The State has stumbled into a ditch, and the cannot expect to get out of it with a clean pair of breeches. She has run off the track, and she has nothing to do but to get on again the best way she can. fancies. A few years ago she set up the Plainfield Bank, and when that swindling shop fell to pieces, she entered into the monopoly of railroads and canals By offers of a large share of the profits, she was instigated to set up the joint stock corporation which has since governed and disgraced the State. By specious and ingenious artilices, Com, Stock- ton was induced to invest $400,000 worth of his property in this monopoly. But the thing was founded upon false pretences, and the State grant- ed, or assumed, what st did not poasess—the night to tax the people of the whole Union to support the State treasury, and the exclusive right of way over the lands of private individuals. The charter There is only one course for the Legislature. Acknowledge the corn—make it up with the company and the financiers of Wall strect—refund a part of the proceeds which you have pocketed, and be a litle more honest for the future—geton the track agaio, and keep out of the mire of Wall street jobbing, and she will ran Let the people pay their owa taxes, and build their own railroads. Pay up the monopoly, declare a divorce, take care of Bishop Doane, and the result will be two crops ef peaches a year. Grwenan Tayton anp tur Cantrer—Tae Re- cent Evections.—Every election for the last six months—since the policy of the cabinet has been | developed—has resulted unfavorably to the cabi- net and the whig party. The last was that in Onio. New York will soon follow in the same direction, for the prospect is that the whigs will be routed and overwhelmed throughout the entire State, from Sandy Hook to Niagera Falls. With these facts before the President, it is full time for him to think of reconstituting his cabinet, and gathering around him constitutional advisers who will give satisfaction to the country. ‘The incom- petency of the present cabinet is admitted, on all hands ond by all parties, to have been the principal cause of those disasters to the party which elected General Taylor. The Courier and Enquirer ad- mits it in the fullest sense, but, by a singular con- tradiction, is threatening the officers in the Custom House with expulsion, if they do not support the very men and interests which brought about that state of things throughout the country. Tun Navigation Laws —Racirrocrry witn Exerann —In yesterday's paper, we published a telegrephie deepatch, to the effeet that the Treasury Department had issued a circular to colleetors, in- forming them, and, through them, the mercantile classes, that, on and alter the first of January next, there will reciprocity with England, in regard to the carrying trade of the two countries. After that day, British vessels will have the same advan- tages as American, and vice versa. We have no doubt that the subject will occupy the attention of Congress during the next session.

The interest excited was very great indeed, and the crowds which congregated to witness the de- parture of their friends, or were attracted from motives of curiosity, exceeded, by fur, the numbers on all former occasions of a similar kind. The day was Deautifully fine, and it was @ deeply interesting sight to behold those leviathan steamships, with their living freights, meve majestically over the tranquil waters, radiant with the beams of an unclouded sun, It was a sight, too, that touched the hearts of many of the spectators, as they looked, perhaps for the last time, upon their dearest friends, or nearest relatives, and in- terehanged the parting farewell. But the sadness of the scene was not unchequered with mirth—there was a How of spirits, and # buoyant reckless gayety, that seemed to bid defiance to all sorrow, while hope spread its brilliant rainbow before many a sanguine heart, and painted scenes of wealth, and honor, and glory, and power beyond the waves—anticipations that, alas! are too often doomed to be disuppointed, and, realized. fail to ratisfy the insatiable thirst of huppiness.

On other points there is very little doing. Domestic exchanges are quiet. Uncurrent money is not plenty, and the rates of dis- count without change. There is a moderate demand for silver coin, such as is wanted for export—prinoi- pally five franc pieces; and our quotations have been revised to correspond with the ruling rates. ‘The Boylston Fire and Marine Insurance Company of Boston, have declared a semi-annual dividend of six per cent. A dividend of 10 per cent on the loan of $1,600,000, to complete the Illinois and Michigan Canal, has been declared, which, together with the semi-annual in- terest, is payable on the 20th inst. at the American Exchange Bank.

On the lst of January next this law goes into effect, when the vessels of both nations will enter into « competi- tion for the foreign commerce of the world.

Thies exhibite a very great de- Preciation, in the faee of a money market which has during the entire period, been daily getting easier. It no doubt] appears strange to those who do not under- stand all the movements in the @aancial and commercial world, how it is that such an undoubted security a» United States stock. should fluctuate so largely within such @ short period; but it can be easily explained; and the cause which bas produced the decline thus far, is still in operation, and will, without doubt, produce & further depreciation in the market value, Previeus to the commeneement of the fall trade, the commercial classes throughout the country, had re- duced their labilities to the lowest amount, There- probably has been no time since 1841, when all classes were so free from business engagements, as carly in the past eummer, The demand for meney for commercial’ purpores, was, therefore, limited, and our mer- chants had on deposit in banking institutions large amounts of capital that they had mo use for. Large amounts were at that time invested im goverpment and State stocks, merely for the purpose of eaving the interest, while the owners of the largest. portion of this idle capital, preferred keeping it on de+ porlt, or loaning it at very reduced rates of interest, on government securities, with a margin, so that they could realize at any moment their commereial arrangements required money. Those whe have beer thus cautious, have avoided the losses which others have experienced. Early in the season we anticipated this result, aud predicted a decline in government. stocks, upon the ground that there would be, upon the revival of business, an anxiety on the part of holders of stocks of all kinds to realize. Since last July, there has beena very active business carried on in every part’ ofthe country, and the lMabilities of the commercial clasees have increased rapidly and largel; derate calculation, they are at least fifty times greater at this moment than they last June; the de- mand for money is therefare steadily improving, and must, as business engagements beeome ex- tended, and the liabilities of all classes increase, create @ want of capital that witl give full employment to all the resources at our command, or that we shall, from time to time, derive from Cali- fornia, During the commercial revulsion which com~ menced in August, 1847, and terminated in June, 1949, there was a universal liquidation of debts. Many houses wiped out thelr liabilities by suspension, while others paid their debts at great sacrifices. In the va- rious ways tbat people have ef paying their debts, there was a universal settlement of accounts; and by the time the revulsion bad entirely disappeared, there probably existed ameng the commercial elasses of the world at large, fewer contracts and 8 smaller amount of indebtedness than at any period within the previous: eight or ten years, To the state of things which has existed since June last, to a greater or less extent, we attribute the abundance of money, and the limited demand for it for any of the purposes of trade; but shall soon. feel the effect of the change which has been going on for two or three months. We sball soon find that the increase of capital will mot. even with all we shall actu- ally receive from California, keep pace with the demand forit. We are entering into all kinds of financial and commercial operations, and before the lapse of many” months, we shall, without doubt, feel a moderate strin- gency in the money market, and all the ascompanying difliculties and embarrasements.
