We have received from Washington, from a cor- Terpendent unknown to us, @ copy of the famous Nicuregua teaty just made between the United Setes and England, with part of the correspon- dence leading to it, ull of which has been sentin to the United States Senate for confirmation; and it will probably be weted on in a few days, by that pi- cus and venerable body—bating the Benton and Foote scenes, which are only two big drops of dirty water Giewn into Lake Superior. A portion of the correspondence relating to this treaty, ap- peste to have been withdrawn from the Senate, y probably the most interesting portion, too.— ‘We refer to a few letters which passed between Mesers. Bulwer and Clayton, im relation to the meaning, construction, and understanding of the several mysteries of thie treaty. That portion of the correspondence is so important, that we think it should be the duty of the Senate to make the de- mand tor it of the Department of State, where, per- haps, it would be refussd—perhaps not. But though we have a copy of this treaty, and such of the correspondence as has been sent into the Senate, we do not intend to publish it in our columns, for fear thet our correepondent might get into the eeme serepe with the present pious autho- rites at Washington which our agent got into two years ago, on account of the treaty with Mexico, which we published on a former occasion. Durnt child dreads the fire. This weaty we have no hesitation in charae- terizing es cne of the most important which this ecuntry has eatered into with any other nation for the lee@hirty or forty years. Its provisions or sec- ticns, numbering ebout nine, embrace purposes | and views, as wellas touch up): other mattors, which wil] lead to the most imporiaut consequences which can be expected at this age of the world. The treaty, which probably will be agreed to and ect firmed ty beth nations, lays the foundation of a complete revolution in the commerce of the world, and also sts the seeds of one of the greatest naval compicts between the United States and England, which will ewyass anything of the kind which has | ever taken place in the history of the humon race. We speak seriously and calmly, when we say thal thir treaty cows the secds of these two mighty events, namely, a radical revolution in the com- merce of the world, und a naval conflict between the United States and England, which will erim- son the Atlantic not take place to-morrow, or next week, or next year—the latter probably not till the end of the present, or the beginning of the next century The firet und principal object of this treaty, is to Al in many other things, the motives of his action not Bat these two great reaults will | gvaranty or protect the construction of a canal actoes the territory of Nicaragua, a charter for | which, granted by that State, is now held by some very respectable parties in this metropolis, in coa- nection with others in Europe. The terms of the treaty, and the protection it gives to the charter, wil te confidence among capitalists both here ond in London in the probable success of the enter- prive, ab opening a new and wonderful communi- eotion for ships of every magnitude between the | Atlentic und Pacifie oceans. We have no doubt, therefore, but that the managers of the enterprise | in thie city, may easily raixe thirty millions of dol- | har the London Exchange, under the sanction of this treaty, wnd the patronage given by Sir H. Fulwerto the whole enterprive. If the volcanic nature of Nicaragua does not interpose insup>rable difliculties to the construction of a ship canal, there i# every probability that the enterprise will now be evecessful, and that in a very few years the whele commerce of the world to the East Indies and China, will be cartied on by this route This result will effect an entire revolution in the eermmerce of the world, which will bring the wee ith of both the ladies and California, to boot, to this great metropolis, and to the whole United Sietew, New York wil u be the central city of the wh certh Lut her and a terrible consequence resulting fiom the peculiar terms of thie treaty, is one in- volving, st a foture though distant day, a naval war beiween the United Ststes and England, which, though distant, ie not lew certein. The treaty, in its terme, aff cting (he right. of the Br.tish govera- ment to the Merquito kingdom, ie studiously two- sided and locking in two directions. Its words and revered clouses are arnbiguous, and may be con- strued by the British government into a quiet confir- mation of their right to the protection of the Mosquito territory, and now quietly conceded by the Unted States in regular form. But while the Batish min- ister and hie government may by ‘ied ia giving thie construction to the treaty, Mr. Clayton and the cobinet understand the same language and terms in the contrary sense, as an wbandoament by the Britieh government of all right in reference to the Mosquito territory. This doutle underetand- ing, which may be given to the provisions of the treaty, proceeds from the fact that Mr. Claytoa bimeelf is no negotiator, but that the whole mat- fer has been arranged by the euperior talents and nhegotiating powers of Sir I. Bulwer, on the pirt of England, and of the agents of the Nicaragua Cane] Company, on the side of the United States. Mr. Clayton only gives his consent, and follows in the wake of Lord Palmerston at London, and Sit H. Bulwer bere, and the Nicaragua directors ai Washington. Le this es it may, we have no doubt the Senate will confirm the treaty as it etands, and lay the foundation of the greatest revolution of commerce which the world has ever witneesed; and also plant the ceeds of one of the greatest naval wars and rivelry between the United States and Eng- Jend, which will shake the world This naval eonflict will take place some years hence, but we any as well prepare for it, while we are enjoying | went evidences, fully and satisfactorily probed and all the advantages hike ye praia in a the new world are placiag before us. In the mean time, let us take the advantages held out to-day— the approaching revolution in commeree, which will make New York the great city of the whole earth ; and when the naval rupture takes place, we can fight our way out of it, as our grandfathers did in 1776—our fathers in 1812—and our noble selves in 1848-9. ‘TriaL or Onx-Eyep Tnompson, 1x Brooxtys— Dovntrut Progress. —The trial of this distinguish- | ed gentlemen before the criminal court ut Brooklyn, is set down for to-day, but we doubt if the hero in the dock will go on with the investigation, if he can get a poetponement from the Judge, on any pre- He and his friends behind the curtain are hardly yet ready for a Brook- lyn jury. Thompson will, most probably, about twenty-three and a half minutes after nine o'clock this morning, get prodigiously sick, and be utterly unfit to conduct his cause; he will then probably appeal to the sympathy of the Court for a postpone- ment until medicine sets kim on his legs again, an the etudy of eriminal law shall have prepared him for his trial. ‘Thompson and his friends think the Brooklyn courts and juries green their own grase growing in the by-streets, and that they are by no means 60 learned, so ingenious, so philoso- phical, eo enigmatical as the lowest genius of the stool pigeon coteries on this side the East river. The second trial of the Drurys was recently post- poned on this side the water, and that will be thought a pregnant example for the amiable court of Brooklyn, in its simplicity, to imitate and follow tnit, according to Hoyle. One-Eyed Thompson culeulutes to mystify and hoodwink the District At- torney of Brooklyn, with the greatest ease. So the One-Eye raye, and 80 he looks. Well, if it isto be postponed, be it so. It cannot be put off till the first week on this side of the day of judgment; it must come up some time, and j when that time comes, it will bring up, in all its | length, and breadth, and variety, a developement | of all the character, history, genius, achievements, confederacies and friends of One-Eyed Thompson. In the course of the last few years, five or six in- dictments have been found against Thompson, but he has always contrived to get his neck out of the noose hitherto. One of his associates was tried, convicted and sentenced to the State prison for two years, while Thompson himself conducted his own cause and was acquitted. The other five indict- ments diseppeared in some mysterious way, with the disappearance of the last comet. His great talents, however, and profound genius were never discovered to the world until he was taken up as a hero by George Wilkes and Marcus Tullius Cicero Stanley. They have given more celebrity to his deeds and genius than even Homer gave to the achievements of Achilles and the Trojan heroes. Aprepos, while talking of Thompson and stool- pigeon matters, we would refer our readers to our police columns for a curious developement of a re- maikable robbery of jewelry, to the amount of about $12,000, which was recently perpetrated in Baltimore, and which is generally believed to have been planned and carried into execution by some of the parties who were made famous in the recent robbery of the government jewels, and the trial of one of the robbers in that affair. The stool-pigeon business hes been increasing much of late, surpass} ing even the days of Bill Wiley, and we beg leave to atk Marcus Tullius Cicero Stanley to post off to Baltimore, and George Wilkes to prepare for a splendid developement. We know all the particu- lars. Be quick! Investigations Concerning tue Caninet.—The public are very much alive to the investigations which the serutiny of the press has started, as to the peculiarities attending the payment of old claims, by the aid of certain members of the cabi- net, among whom Ewing, Meredith, Crawford, and Johnson {are conspicuous. This is all very neturel. People like to know what kind of men stand at the wheel, and guide the ship, as well as who the steward and purser may be. Every day we are assured of this fact, and hence it is not by any means strange that inquiries are made about the probable investigations into the motives of Mesers. Clayton, Preston, and Collamer, not yet touched by any resolution. Mr. Clayton has been engaged in treaties, and in recalling ministers, and being quite so transparent to the public as is de- sirable. A little more investigation might produce something satiefactory. Mr. Preston has been very busy, too, in one way and another; and, by looking a little more closely into his love for steamships, a committee might be able to discover something very curious and iateresting. In this age of enterprise, it is almost impossible for public men to be indifferent to great speculations, and the public are interested in ascertaining how deeply their servants are affected in euch matters, Of Mr. Collumer we searcely know anything. He lies €0 low, and keeps so dark, that the public sel- dom see him. He appears to be asleep—but per- hape a committee to inquire into his very extraor- dinary conduct, would bring out an§important fact. We are seriously induced to hope that a speedy ex- amination may be made, from past and from pre- proved, beyond the possibility of cavil, doubt, or the shadow of a question, whether or not the Post- master General, Jacob Collamer, hae been and is | awake or asleep. ‘Tite Gas Moxorory Question —There has been a good deal of quiet recently on the subject of the ene monopoly, but it must not be suppoeed that the subject is at rest, or hae been disposed of. So far from thet, we understand that the committee to whom the metter was referred by the Common Council, are busily investigating it, and there is every reason to hope that their report will bea very comprehensive one, embracing both sides of the matter, and putting it in euch a shape before the public, that there will be no doubt or difficulty in arriving at an eecurate conclusion. The com- mittee ¢ tof the following named gentlemen: Mr. Britton, of the Fifteenth Ward, Mr. Delamater, of the Sixteenth, Mr. Molton, of the Eleventh, Mr. Kelly, of the Sixth, and Mr. Wood, of the Third. This committee have already examined one side of the question—that of the monopolista, and they will very soon investigate the other—that of the pe- titioners, We shall look for their report with a good deal of interest; for the matter which they are looking imto is an important one, and the public generally are anxious to know what its character will be | | ' Assavat ann Barrery ix tre Sexare.—Mr. Benton hes applied to the United States Attorney of the District of Colambia, to commence proceed- ings ageinet Mr. Foote, for drawing a pistol, in self- defence, on the floor of the Senate chamber. If Mr. Benton advanced upon Mr. Foote, we cannot clearly understand that the latter had not an indi- vidual right, inthe Senate, as he would have had anywhere, to defend himself. At all events, we muet eey thet Mr. Benton's course, in putting a mat- ter, purely within the jurisdiction of the Senate, who ere the most capable body of judging in the matter, into thet of the grand jury of the District, is a littl singular and inexplicable. The public would like to know the motive. Perhaps some other Kqvestions—the investigation of the actions of a portion of President Taylor's cabinet, the set- tlement of the elavery question, and some of the new appointments, might be very judiciously eub- mitted to the grand jury. The precedent, in this reepect, may be valuable. May itnot?

The debate in the Senate, at Washington, yes terday, was both important and interesting, espe- cially as faras this commercial metropolis ia con- cerned. It was confined almost exclusively to Mr. ‘Webster's resolution, in relation to the propriety of taking meoeures to facilitate the coinage of the United States. During the argument that ensued on this question, Mr. Webster demonstrated, in a cleer and forcible manner, the necessity existing for additional minting privileges, and stated that there were eight millions of dollars worth of bul- lion waiting coinage in one of our mints, and in the treasury about nine millions more, making in the whole seventeen millions of dollars, which enum, as Mr. Webster juetly observed, is lying idle. But there is no doubt of the propriety of establishing a mint in New York, cri sooner or later we must have one. The commercial metropols of the country cannot and should not be subservient to less important sections in this respect. The com- mercial requirement, demand that she should have a mint, and we trust that Congress will not adjourn, until it pass a bill for that purpose. Latest from Washington. OUR SPECIAL TELEGRAPHIC CORRESPONDENCE. Wasuincron, April 34, 1850. From conversation which I have had with some Northern whigs, I understand the President makes no dieguise of his hostility to Mr. Clay's compromise. ‘The cabinet conrider it a gaine forthe presidency, and there is some talk of the possibility of a veto, if Ouli- fornia is mixed up with the territories. I likewise am informed that the army officers at Santa Fé have been inatructed to encourage the people of New Mexico to organize a State government as soon as possible, and if nothing is done this session, she will be ready by the next debate, ‘The general impression is that the Nicaragua treaty will be confirmed, ‘The Galphin committee concluded the examination of witnerses to-day.

Perry, and Lieuts. Griffin, Birsell and Calhoun, of the Navy, were examined to-day, but their exami- nation elicited nothing of interest. Gen. Jesup, at the request of Lieut. Hunter, who had not the lege of the court room when he gave his teat! ny; ‘was ordered to be called back from Washington ; Gen. Jerup had stated he supposed tho premature move- ment on Alvarado resulted in a loss to the govern- ment of a million of dollars, In preventing the procure- ment of horses, cattle, &e., for military use, Lieut. Hunter destred to cross-examine him on that point. He also procured the recall of Capt. Tatnall, to show that he did not defeat any capture or drive off animals, and that the country was swarming with both horses and beeves, Lieut. Hunter says this point of attack egainet him is an afterthought, to do him all the harm they cai Hunter proved that the army under Gen. Quitman, in going from Vera Crus to attack Alvarado, forty miles distant, in keeping the shore, could not have intercepted men or horses escaping from Alva- rado, General Quitman, with others, are authorised to be summoned.

We say sbe has nominally eban- doned her right to rule, because the treaty seys nothing stout it, one way or the other; but the question is, whether Great Britain has actually given up the pow- er eho once claimed in that territory; the only answer to which is the inference drawn from the absence of all vilusion to the subject. This matter is therefore left for future adjurtment, and we have no doubt it will become. sooner or later, a bone of contention be- tween the two governments. This is the political view we take of the treaty. Commereially the rights ‘and privileges of the two nations are clearly defined. The company contemplating the construction of the canal across the Isthmus of Nicaragua, have, under the treaty, every guaranty desirable for & speedy | successful completion of that great work, Any amount of capital stands ready to enter atonce into the investment, and movements will atonce be made to put the work into the hands rerponrible contractors.

Law, Howards, and a large number of capitalists, who operate with these individuals, are interested in this great in- ternational communication. Doo Thomas, of Nicara- gua, bar, we understand. abandoned bis interest in the canal, probably on account of the great price of shares, which, we leorn, are ten thousand dollars each, requir- ing a pretty heavy capital to bealargestockholder. It isnot known what the aggregate cost of this immence work will be; but that is of very little consequence, ae there is no limit to the means of the company. As foon as the cana) is completed. and the communication between the two oceans established, a line of steamers, comprieing the Empire City, Crescent City, Sarah Sands, New Orleans. and probably other boats, which will be, in the meantime, constructed, with sufficient capacity to meet the wants of the great travel and traffic of the route, will be puton. While these things have been progressing relative to the Nicaragua canal, the friends of the Tehuantepec route have not been idle. A company, originating in Mew Orleans, has been formed, with suffictent cupital to establish a line of fteamers between that city and the mouth of the river Del Passo, from which point # mule or stage route will be made for the conveyance of passengers scrons to Tehuantepec, on the Pacific, there to connect with a separate line of steamers, to run up end down the ccast, or with the line of mail steamers already formed between Panama and San Francisco. This will make the third route between the Atlantic and the Pacific, for the accommodation of the two seas, and we have no doubt cach will obtain sufficient travel and traffic to meet tbe views and expectations of those interested. Speculations in certain railroad securities continuc with unabated vigor. The news from Europe, although unfavorable, in many points of view, for the advance- ment of fancy transactions, is construed by the stock speculator to suit his own purposes—is made a means to keep up the artificial state of things here, which his tactics have lately established. How long this wili continue can be better told after looking carefully in- to the movements already made to inflate the bubble. Every bunk in Wall street has strained its discount Une to the utmoet tension; and where every sign ls preg- nant with important changes. we know not how soon the clear blue eky may be overeast and dark, and dan- gercus clouds o’erspread the heavens. In London, in the midst of a vast abundance of money, almost un- paralleled. we find the stock market just the reverse of what it is here, as will be reen by the annexed extract from « late English paper:— The share market has sustained a further considera- ble fall thie week. Midland stock hae fallen 4 per cent; London and North-Western stock 2 per cent; Lanca- thire and Yorkshire. 5 per cent; Midland jy shares have fallen £2 per ehare; London and North-Western shores, £1 per share; Lancashire and Yorkshire fifths, 10+. per hare; and all light epeculative atocks in whieh business could be done, are deproased in like manner. ‘The shares which have been best supported since our lart report. are South-Eastern and Dover. Here Is the rerult of the conviction which has been forced upon the public mind, that the statements of boards of directors of raliroad companies are not reliable; end if they are in any case shown to be correct, then the property iteelf hae ceased to attract the attention of men of capital. The views we have so frequently exprossed during the past year upon the eubject of railrond se- curitics, are shown to be correct in every particular, by the disclosures making on both ides of the Atlante. We fully believe im the benefits resulting from the | comrtruction and extension of railroads to the maasoa, and we hope that the money and means will be found to connect together, with an iron band, every town in the State, and every State in the Union. The General Kallroad law recently passed in the Logislature of this | State, will, no doubt, tuetlitate the building of thousands Fee eked wine Covers: | of miles of road, and by cheapening the means of | transit, avd affording means for rapid communication | and economical intercourse, advance the condition of , the maser, and the general prosperity of the country Citic, countios. towns and villag: the construction of railroads, and thus impose the | burden upon the whole population, and by distriba- | Lion, the lopses of depreciation will fall heavily upon no | one, As it now is, devigning men coneoet their rail- roud rchemes for the purposes of private plunder, aad the means they resort to to carry their plans to ® sue- cessful termination are really frightful to contem- plate.

T! Porition of there securities are pointed ut as an evi- dence of our want of judgment or of knowledge. It cannot be dented that they have attalued an aititade far beyond our calculations or expectations; but do not for a moment admit that our opinions are a sound. or that our predictions will pot be reolised to the letter: but, on the contrary, every day eonrinces us more and mere of the truth strength of our Position. and offers fresh evidence of the uuprocedont- ed courre pursued, and the deeperate measures re- the market half a doren kia im reality pomese. | In order to einetdate our views and position more ) fully, have made up from the best datain oar pos- tession, & statement rhowing the financial operations of the Erie Kailroad Company for the year 1860. If there figures are correct, what justification can the for the reports dally circulated mente of (he present productiveness of the work?

This fact may not ap- pear for rometim eye to it. It appears from the reports of the dires- tore, and is admitied by the hangers on, or privileged inspectors of the concerns of the company's office, that the annexed statement constitutes the annual payment of interest: — New Vous avy Bare Ly 7 EE amp Ax- Stocks, eld at ake on Gertsecares. 210.00 4 swoon Mee 1.00 Low ow | em Actoal defeioney for 1 Vee your $000 ‘ $1,113,000 A careful survey of these figures will satisfy ay ay contribute to | shall continue, in the face | We are fully confident that | wut it must ultimately come out,in | sents | ruch # rhape that the stockholders cannot close their man of their moderation.

In eon- nection with this. we wish to place before the pubtie an estimate based upon the experiences of the past, one which has its origin in sound common sense, as well as the returns from all the railroads in the State and inthe country, It shows the utter recklessness of those who are exciting the public mind to look with favor upon the stock of this company, et present prices, for permanent investment, It preves eonelusive- ly, the truth of our assertion, that years must elapse before the work any retarns to the stoek- holders, honestly, No well balanced, unprejadieed mind, can say these calculations are not perfoetly reasonable; and if so, it must be admitted that the ef forte made to draw capitalists and men of moderate means into the investment, when ultimate depreeta- tion in prices ts so certain, are not ereditable to thease concerned. and are calculated to create, ina very shert New Yorn awn Exre Rartaoap.
