If our own government, at the present cri 18 in a stupid, lazy, sleepy condition, with regard to the importance of the field of strength and enter- prise on the South American Pacific coast, it is evident that the British governments alive, active, and wide ewake. True enough, Mr. Chatfield the British Chargé, made a consummate false step, by running down the Honduras ensign and running up the cross of St. George in its place, upon Tigre yeland ; but the remonstrance promptly made by ovr own Chargé, Mr. Squier, in which he saga- ciously met all the assumptions of Mr. Chatfield, with the best of argument and reason, had its effect, The correspondence, now completely fur- mishedin the Herald, gives the entire hi-tory of the whele transaction. It speaks for itseli upon the engin of the diffioulties, exhibits Mr. Chat- field’s silly mancowvre to check our treaty, and he results of it, with Nicaragua, and points out the fummary manner in which the efficient action of Mr Squier caused the British to strike their flag, to teke away their muniments of defence and occu- ation, and retire from the scene of their wonder- ul conquest, made under the auspices of Mr. Chetfield Thus fer, there is no reason for complaint at the monaflairs have taken.

These de- gi or are palpably; lain. Great Britain views with jeslousy the rapid strides we are making in com mercial end maritime affairs. She perceives that the opening of Califormia, and the consequent spread, ducing the winter months, of our country- men throughout the republics of Ceatral America, are giving the Amencan name and power an influence and a stetws ia those regions» heretofore ai the creditors, in some cases, of those States.

Deeply impressed with the value of protecting and holding the Pacific coast, again and again have we chided the lukewarmness of the government upon the matter, and have de- manded, a8 justice only to the interests of the Ame- rican people, that not one jet of our nght should be surrendered to the spirit of conquest exhibited by British diplomacy. But the treaty that has just gone out to Lord Palmerston—what will that do? ‘ree Steam Boller Fatality—important Ver- dict of the Coroner’s Jury. ‘We have published all the details of this melan- choly catastrophe, and we now present our readers with the result of the investigation before the Coroner. The verdict is highly important; and the resolutions of the jury appended, are not less so. The Coroner hasdischarged his duty fearlees- ly, and the jury have discharged theirs’. A most important principle has been established—the re- sponsibilty ef the owners of menufactories in which steam power is ueed and abused; and the jiabiltty of the makers and sellers of boilers, which are found to be incapable of sustaining the degree of preesure for which they are designed ard pur- chased. it seemed mecessary to make « sigaal example, before the reckless and imprudent were brought to their senees. The opportunity has been furnisked of doing so, and a wise ané intelligent jury tave not let it pass unimproved. It washigh time to put a stop to the sporting with human tife, which had been so long practised with impunity in this and other cities of the United States. Enough of victims have been offered to ignorance, reck- tessness and-cupidity. Anew leaf must beturned. Ajury, taken, we may say, et randomfrom the people, have pronounced unanimously upoe the criminality of the course that has been pursed in reference to the boiler whose explosion has caused so much lamentation, mourning, and wo la vur city, and has Ieft many a joyful hearth shrouded in the blackness of despair. It is to be feared that this is not an isolated instance, even at the present mo- ment, in New York; and that all the guilt exists, without the consequences, in hundreds of cases which have not yet seen the hight. Boilers have not exploded which have been within a hoir’s breadth of it; just asin the case of Taylor's boiler, which hed been subjected to a higher degree of pressure than that under which it gave way, and thus lulled hum and his partners, and engineer, into a fatal security. The straining of the metal by this excessive pressure resulted at last in desela- tion and death; and a terrible rebuke has been given to those who would dare to trifle with the laws of nature. Alas! the innocent have suffered for the temerity of the guilty; but God and the people will set all nght. An act-has been brought before the Legislature in consequence of this calamity. May we hope that its provisione will fully meet the case in all its length and breadth. The information devel- oped in the investigation is of great value. Some wild ideas and mad theories have been broached but the chaff may be easily separated from th wheat; and it 1s hoped that this matter will not allowed to rest till the public have some secur against the recurrence of similar disasters. It matters little to thoee whose lives are jeopar- | dized-or lost, what are the theories of learned gen- tlemen about steam, ‘‘stame,” or gas. It is of small consequence what the nature of the agent is, if death and destruction ensue. Whatever may be the difference in theories,the tollowing principles are agreed upon, viz:—that badly constructed or weak boilers ought not to be used—that extreme pres- sure ought not to be resorted to in the case of good boilers—that the want of sufficient water in boilers and excessive heat are fatal; and that in all cases a safety valve ough: to be used which would infalli- bly meet the danger. A fusible valve, which one of the witnesses stated is used in France, or such | as Mr. Crommelin suggests in his very useful paper, ought to be attached to every boiler; and the authorities of the State or of the United States ought to be empowered to enforce it in every in- | stance, under a heavy penalty. The public look | with anaiety to the action of the Legislature. Tre Resection or Con. Wesn.—The rejection of | Col. Webb, who was appointed by the cabinet to the important post of minister to Austria, and which | we published exclusively yesterday, is talked of a great deal. Very few entertained the idea that his nomination would be confirmed; but they were | not prepared to see such an overwhelming majori- ty against him as was witnessed when his name was submitted to the Senate. If he had been re- | Jected by a vote of two or three, or half a dozen, | or even a dozen Senators, it would not exciie much astonishment; but the fact of his receiving | but seven votee out of forty-one, shows conclusive- | | ly that his was one of the most unpopular appoint- | ments, if nét the most so, that has been made by the President, et the instigation of the cabinet, since the present administration came into power. We do not see that the Senate could have taken | any other course than what they ado; in this | matter. Cel, Webb is in every respect incompe- tent for euch an important office as minister abroad; and if General Taylor had not been worried into making his.appoiatment, there would have been | no necessity for submitting Col. Webb to the in- | dignity which his rejection by such an overwhelm- ing vote has entailed on him and en the adminis tratic Itis very well knowa that General Tay- lor was, fromthe first, opposed to the appointment of Col. Webb to any mission, and on one occasioa declined point blank to listen to the cabinet on the fabject. The repeated importunities of Mr. Clay- ton and his aseeciates, however, finally prevailed, | and the « was made. The result is be- | fore our read Whose turn is it next? 8. | Tne Loss or ene Sreamnoat Rove fen | In another part of our paper, of this morning, will be found an acconat of the loss of the steamboat | Khode Island, and arobably a large portioa of the | ctew.

A matter of more grave consideration is coming up inthe House. The position of a portion of the Seuth upon the admission of California into the Union, begins to reveal itself. Mr. Inge has de- clared that it will be the duty of the South to resist yhe fusion of California, with her present constitu- tion, into the Umon; and therefore, though Mr. Inge says many strange things, we may prepare for a little fire that wall eventually prove a flame. His opinion is not an isolated one. It will extend. We thall scarcely get a compromise of the right sort in haste, and may settle down into the conviction, either that more moderation and a spirit of conct- liation are to prevail, or that we are to be agitated by threats, {menaces, and treasons constructive. The Union, however, must be preserved. In the Senate, it appears there has been some- “thing of an approach to an exciting scene, raised by the slavery question. It was cut short, lrow- ever. Mr. Butler complained, and Mr. Hale bullied and bragged, till the special order of the day re- stored tranquillity. It is evideot that the public mind must be prepared for more exciting scenes, and some which will not be closed so readily and easily as this one in the Senate. Amfairsin Washington.
