The Ohio was reported to bo at Quarantine at six o’clock this morning- er news from She probably brings two weeks California, the Isthmus of Panama, Ne., which will be published in an Latva Herald as soon as poesible. p ‘The Nicaragua Treaty, and the Nicaragua Negotiatlo ‘The Washington correspondents of several New York journals, the Herald included, state that a weaty has been concluded between Sir Henry Bul- wer, on the part of the British government, and Mr. Clayton, Seeretary of State, at Washington, on be- half of the United States, and that the s: been submitted to the Senate for their ratificati ‘The terms of this treaty are represented as being very satisfactory to the United States. It is said that in this tr Great Britain has surrendered and abandoned her protectorate over the Mosquito coast, that she has given up all her pretensions to that part of the territory of Nicaragua, that she has abandoned all possessory right over that coast, as well as the right to establish forts and garrisons there—in a word, that she has conceded every- thing, “knocked under” to the doctrine laid down by Mr. Monroe, and that Mr. Bulwer has ved himeelf but a child in diplomacy with Mr. Clayton, the leader of the cabinet of President Taylor, who, on the other hand, has shown himself to be more than a match, not only for Mr. Bulwer, but the British ministry, with Lord Palmerston at their head, and the whole English nation put together.

But notwithstand I that these several corre- spondents, our own included, say in regard to this matter, we wech convineed as We ever were, no such tres ring euch a construction as have put uy has been entered into be- tween Mr. Clayton and Sir Henry Bulwer. We do not deny that, on its face and according to its apparent meaning, such a treaty has been forn 3 but we do emphatically disbelieve that England, through Sir Lleory Bulwer, has behaved so re- markably magnanimous as is represented. ething of the history of Great from ATE AS n it, assume to know so Britain, treaties.

Not at all. The same view ean, with propriety, be taken of her preten- sions in Nicaragua. The fact is, that the agents and organs of the cabinet are endeavoring to hoodwink and throw dust in the eyes of the publi in this matter. They are loud in asserting that the administration of Mr. Polk abandoned the Monroe doctrine in this dispute, but we very much fear that the present cabinet have done the same. Notwithstanding all that has been said, we aver that Mr. Polk’s administration did abandon that doctrine, and we think the present cabinet have followed their example. We therefore recommend the Senate to scrutinize this treaty, which we are informed has been con- cluded and sent to them for ratification. They must take into consideration the immense disad- vantage that Mr. Clayton stands under, towards Sir Henry Bulwer, in point of diplomatic ability. As the treaty making power, it is reserved for them to see that the honor and interests of the country are not bartered away to a foreign power. If they do so, all will be well. Can any one in Washing- ton, give us a copy of the treaty and correspon- dence, at any price, as well as the correspondence between Mr. Clayton and Sir Henry Bulwer, which was suppressed? ‘Tar Canrver anp THE Resoivtrons or INquiry.— ‘The numerous resolutions of inquiry and investiga- tion, which, after a great deal of opposition from the friends and supporters of the cabinet, have passed the House of Representatives, show the ex- treme unpopularity of the members of that body, and the want of confidence which the country has in the present constitutional advisers of the Presi- dent. The inquiry is asked on all hands, can the cabinet stand such assaults as have been made against them within a short time, and of such a character, toot We answer, they can, and in all probability they will. Nordo we wish that there should be any change. There never was a better cabinet for the newspapers than the present one. | They furnish a good deal of fun to them, and to the House of Representatives, and when the slavery question is settled, and there isa want of amuse- mentin Washington, all the House will have to do to raise & breeze, will be to pass @ resolution of in- quiry into their conduet, similar to those which have already been passed. ‘They can use the eabi- net as the parson did his Cheshire cheese. ‘What will be the subject of your sermon next Sunday?” said a friend to a parson in England. “Well,” said he, “I have been away 2 good deal thid week, and | think I will have to fall back on my Cheshire cheese.” Cheshire cheese!” said the other, “what do you meant” “Why, don’t you under- * “Well, then, Pi tell you.

A report of the brief proceedings which tock place will be found elsewhere in our columns. It is only postponed, however, till to-morrow morn- ing, in order to indulge One-Eyed Thompson in his desire ef getting from Boston the celebrated Mar- shal Tukey,’who is also an original character in that distinguished neighborhood. To-morrow the trial will proceed, when the opening of the second seal will take place, and chapter No. 2, in the stool-pigeon mysteries of New York, will be open- ed, and the public will be admitted to hear, hold up their hands, wonder, burst their waistbands, and depart. d ling to every intimation and all appear- anees, this trial will surpass in interest, perchance in result, that of the first trial of a portion of the come distinguished batch of sevants. We allude to the trial of the Drarys. One-Eyed Thompson, it appears, is going to conduct his own case. He | has measured the capacity of his lawyers, his ad- | visers, his editors and his counsellors, and pro- bably has found them—even when rolled into one lump of fat—deficient in width and depth, rotundity and brains, Yet his appearance in hisown case ax chief counsel, is a novelty in itself, ond will be worth, least in the report, if well Sven Twomsos, 1s ved Thompson, for done, @ vast deal of profit to the ualweeehed news boys, who may cireulute a report of the trial.

As might be expected, this enterprise, with the accounts of the California gold arriving constantly here, has given a tremendous inspiration to the feelings of the histrionic and lyric geniuses of Europe. As recently stated by our London corres- pondent, Mr. MitcheH, the London manager, is coming out with two companies of French per- formers, including the magnificent Rachel, Fanny Cerito, St. Leon, and a host of others distinguished in the history of the stage. It is not unlikely, also, that Manager Lumley may conclude to introduc’ to the red men of America that splendid opera troupe, Grisi, Mario, Lablache, and Tamburini. The fashionable world will be in raptures with them, and will make ready to greet them on their arrival. High prices will be the order of the day. Tickets will range from two to five dollars, the numerous discounts of the banks of California supplying the rich papas and mammas of the me- tropolis with plenty of gold. Meanwhile, all people who pretend to know anything about society must do their part towards carrying out the great law of distribution, which feeds the millions. They must attend to the recent large importations of French goods, gloves, tabinets, and ribbons, and not dress meanly because they have to pay for so many tickets to operas and plays, at large prices. One thousand dollars for tickets, and five thousand dollars for dresses and decorations, will be sufficient for any fashionable family for the year 1850. Printixa Jons av Wasiinaton.—It is stated by Mr. Harvey, the confidential newspaper corres- pondent of Mr. Clayton, the Secretary of State, that Mr. Thomas Ritchie, editor, received indi- rectly about $12,000 for a printing job not worth over $3,000. The best of the joke is, that the ori- ginal demand was $40,000, aud Ritchie gravely consented to be made umpire, and gave the deci- sion in favor of $12,000. This is very likely to be true—but Gales and Seaton, and every administra- tion, are equally in the mud. Gas Movement.—What has become of the orators, resolutions, company, committee, new meters, and new lights of the gas reformers? Shall we advertise for a new set? If we are forced to do it, we shall stipulate that the orators, com- mittees, chairman, and secretaries shall give ample securities to persevere, despite of any and every kind of inducement to abandon the work taken in hand, whether or not they are tempted to leave the labors by toasts and ale, or California gold. Tue New York Custom Hovsk axp Sexaton Sewanp.—The organ of the New York Custom House, from the Collector down to M. M. Noah, the secret inspector, salary $1,000, with nothing to do—is out loudly in favor of Senator Seward, of his principles of constitutional law on slavery and the territories. The eabinet is also of the same stripe. Will the United States Sgnate note this sign? The Steamship Atlantic—Great Crowds of Visitors. The steamship Atlantic, on her return from her trial trip on Monday, took her position at her dock, at the foot of Canal street, where she rises above the water like a giant of the deep, with ber dark huge, though short chimney, and her four masts bearing the figs of the free. Her dimensions have been already pub- lished in the Herald, and it is therefore unnecessary to repeat them here. Yesterday she was thrown open for the reeeption of visitors, who were admitted by ticket. There was a perfect rush from eight o’eluck in the morning, till “the stare set their sentinel watch in the sky.’ Towards evening the crowds increased, and it was no small feat to work one’s way, either back or forward, through the gangway. From all parts of the city they poured in a continual stream, of all ages, conditions, and sexes. Engineers, naval officers, military men, merebants, and so many of the fair sex that one could not help won- dering where all the beautiful women came from, When the visitors got on the deck, and were amazed at her vast proportions, as they took them in at one view, from stem to stern, the difficulty was to get down to her cabins, the staircases being jammed full, without cessation, from the numbers pressing up and down. But this accomplished, the effort was amply rewarded, by one of the most magnificent sights ever presented in a ship—the gorgeous saloon, fitted up and decorated with such eleganee, taste, and luxury, without any of | that gaudy tinsel which attracts only a vulgar mind. The carpets are of the richest deseription; the panels of the stateroom doors are of satin wood, of the finest finish, moulded with bronze and rosewood. and each at the foot, The cabin windows in the stern are of stained glass, having representations of New York. Bortou, and Phi- Indelphia cut on eneh. The pier glasses in carved rose- | wood frames, attracted much attention, and many a pretty face admired its reflected image during the day ‘The ladies seomed to be in raptures with these glasses, | The beautiful Italian marble tables, called Broeatelli, were admired by all.

The Belle of the West Burnt. ONE HUNDRED PERSONS LOST. HORRIBLE SUFFERING OF EMIGRANTS, &e., &e., &e. Cincinnati, April 23-—P. M, ‘The Ohio river has again been the ecene of @ most dreadful and heart-rending catastrophe, and (with the exception of the explosion of the steamer Moselle at this port,) the most fatal that has ever occurred in this section of the country. Annexed are the par- ticulars, 60 far as ascertained : This merning the steamboat Belle of the West, while on her way down the Ohio, one mile below Warsaw, Ky., caught fire, and was almost wholly consumed, together with everything on board. All efforts to check the flames proved unavailing. She had on board, when she left Cincinnati, a great number of emigrants bound for California, about one hundred of whom are supposed to have cither been drowned or burned to death, So sudden and overwhelming were the rush of the flames, that escape seemed utterly impossible. ‘The officers and crew of the vessel preserved their lives by jumping overboard and swimming ashore, The scene is described as having been one of the 1 most truly agonizing ever witnessed. The few who were saved had left here in company with their boy- hood and bosom friends—friends whose interests were blended into one—for the land of golden promise. But, instead of realizing their bright anticipations, they were now called upon to gaze in horror at the burut and mangled remains of those who were to them.as brothers, But what was still more deplorable, if pos- sible—there were a great number of families on board who were emigrating to the luxuriant prairies of the West. Of those who had been rescued, were wives and husbands, parents and children, all standing upon the shore in their night-clothes, and bewailing the loss of their nearest and dearest kindred on earth ; while, ever and anon, the glare of the fire from the boat, or the flicker of a torch on the land, would reveal the charred corpse of some unfortunate victim as it foated in the stream, The Belle of the West was bound to was insured at Cincinnati for $8,000. St. Louis, and ANOTHER ACCOUNT. Mapisom, Indiana. April 23. 1850, From the officers of the steamer Wisconsin, and an eye witness of the burning of the Belle of the West, we gather the following :— About half an hour after midnight. this morning, the steamer was discovered on fire in the hold, and was immediately run ashore, near Warsaw, and made fast. Up to this period the flames had not yet burst forth, and the after hatch was opened, for the purpose of getting water into the hold, but such was the rapid headway of the flames, that all efforts to cheek them proved wholly fruitless, au. in a few minutes the en- tire boat was a mass of fire. The total number of passengers on board was about 400 ; among whom were two California companies, and 30 families, who were removing tothe West, From the register it is ascertained that over 60 have perished, and the probability is, that many have been lost whore names were not enrolled therein. Such was the rapid progress of the fire, that before the passengers could get out of their state-rooms, after the first alarm, all communication between the after cabin and the forward part of the boat was cut off, and everyone was either compelled to jump into the water, or perish in the flames. At the time of the deck falling in, a Indy and gentle- man, with « child in his arms, were standing between the chimneys. There were, also, on board, a large number of horses, which were mostly all burned to death, and those that ‘were not, were so badly burnt, that they were obliged to be Killed, to put them out of their misery.

Torspay, April 23—€ P.M. ‘The stock market presents no new feature, The ac- tive demand for government and State stocks «i. eon~ tinues, and large lots «f fancies daily change hands. Mort of the transactions to-day were for earl, and holders of Farmers’ Loan were crowding the market with stock, This company is in a bad way. and before ten days have elapred, prices will range in the neigh- borhood of thirty, An injunction has been issue® against the company, and the probability is tat at the tail end of innumerable suite, the assets of thy eon- cern will be of little value to stockholders, ths reat ertate operations for several years past have been Mlle. gal, and as soon as the Attorney General gets (i -oagh with the anti-rent uit at Hudson, he will commence on the Farmers’ Loan, The injunction vred te comes from the West. It is no stock jobbing affair, and, during the progress of proecedings, it will be shown that the recent act of the Legislature, empower ing the company to hold and convey real exis’, wae foresd through uncoustitutionally, and is therefore void. Those who have been purchasing this stock at prices ranging from 90 to 40 per cent, will soon find out that all we have before said about it is trac, and that they had better have taken our advice. Aa The sles of the Erie Railroad Stock, to-day, amoant ed to about 2000 sbares and it is rapidly becoming concentrated in the hands of the Wall street combinas tion, The only thing that sustained prices, previous to the recent speculative movement, was the grent distri- Dution of the stock, the large number of stockholders, and the small lotsin which it was held. A great change has, within the past two months, taken place in this, and the cornering combination in the stock will soon get its fill. It is easy enough to buy any stoek, but it has usually been found very diffieult to sell iarge lots, without submitting to sacrifices, and this eorner must end ae all others have before it. We have never | kno u one to succeed yet, and the probability is one never will, Some one of the clique generally gete alarmed, and, in slipping secretly out, knocks away the underpinning. and all came down together. Asfor the recent advance in Erie, or any other fancy stock, being based upon their real merit. it is absurd, and not one of those engaged in the inflation of prices, believes anything of the kind. The reports daily circulated, relative to the receipts of the Erie Railroad Company, are ridiculous, a they are no eriterion, if correct, of the actual earnings of the road. We have a very dis. tinet recollection of the reports daily put forth of the receipts of the Long Island Railroad Company, at the time of the great speculation in that stock, when it was carried up to 88 a 90 per cent. The ineome was said to be about $1,200 per day, and holders were very confi- dent the stock would go to par. Nothing, at the time, war said about expenses, but it afterwards came out that the expenditures were about $1,500 per day. The same result will be realized in Erie. Speculators should bear in mind that it is not the railroads that do the most business that earn the most money over and above expenses. At the first board, to-day, Pennsylvania 5's advanced M per cent; Reading Railroad, 1; Farmers’ Loan fell off Lper cent; Canton Co., 4; Long Island, ¥. AG the second board, Erie Railroad went up 34 per cent.; Long Island, 4{, and Reading Railroad {. Hudsom River declined per cent; Farmers Loan, \; New Haven Railroad, 1%. Some of the bull organs asser® that Erie and Reading bonds have recently been pur- chased largely, on foreign account, Now this is de- cidedly obsurd. The course pursued by the Reading | Railroad Company, in relation te ite bonds, and the passage of the law through the Legislature Jof Penn- ferent legalizing the non-payment of ite debts and protection of its property from suits, the ease ofthe Dry Dock Bank, and the North American Trust pany, are enough to deter foreigners from touching | Any of jour securities tainted in the slightest degree with usury.
