The News Owing to the brevity of the telegraphic matter, we are this morning enabled to present our readers with a rather more than usual amount ofintelligence of every description, including further particwars eoneerning the burning of the steamer Henry Clay, with regard to which sad catastrophe the people throughout the country are so deeply interested. This melancholy affair formed the subject of dis- eourse in many of our churches yesterday, reports of seme of which are elsewhere given. We are sorry to learn by telegraph, that the cho- Jera is reported to have destroyed a family of four or five persons in Buffalo. Some of the citizens of that place are said to be greatly frightened, and many ure leaving fur the country. From Albany we learn that a very curious crimi- nal investigation has recently been going on in that place, in which hotel scrvants, lawyers and jury- men got so mixed up that the proceedings were stepped and a new trial ordered. By reference to the police bead it will be seen that two more stabbing cases have lately occurred im this city. The President of Costa Rica has issued a mani- festo declaring the assent of his government to the basis of the settlement of the difiiculty with Nicara- gaa, as agreed upon between England and the Uni- ted States. The document is given in another co- Jemn. A despatch from Charleston contains some inter- ice from Key West. The Ohio, with the California mails to the Ist ult., and the Hermann, with four days’ later news from Barepe, way both be expected to-day. Our Mexican Relations—The Flarc-ap with Mr. Letcher, We commenced, last week, the publication of the official correspondence between our government and that of Mexico, on éhe Tehuantepec difficulty; and this morning, in continuation, we give the ulti- matum of Mr. Letcher, our late Minister in Mexico, to Senor Ramirez, the Mexican Minister of Re- lations, and also the note of Mr. Letcher to Mr. Webster, on the subject, and in explanation of the rejection of the Garay treaty. In reading the ‘sharp note” of Mr. Letcher to Revor Ramirez, the real cause of the recall of the former is very appare Considering the nice re- gad of the Mex of the rales of etiquette in their diplom —their very sensitive tenacity to the technical ‘lies of courtesy and refined dignity—it Was quite natural that the plain Kentucky lecture | of our Minister should be regarded by them as an | uppardonable crime. Indeed, the authorities of | almost any government would make such a letter | the occa a@ rv with the individual of on ture ity to write it; and the is, there- fore, nothing extraordinary in the request ef Pre- sident Arista for a more acceptable man than Mr. Letcher to carry on these Tehuantepec negotiations.

Here, then, we I eontract was net as advantageous to the government as it might have been—that, in cancel! ng it, # more profitable bargain—one which will replenish ber ex- hausted coffers—may be made. Mexico is desirous of opening the route, from the benefits which she will directly derive from it; but if she can compel us to pay a good round sum for i', in hard cash, 0 much the better. And we will have to pay it. From this correspondence, it is manifest, at all events, that the Garay treaty is dead—that aegotia- tions for the Tehumm apec right of way will haveto be commenced de nowo, and upon @ new schedule, and that a sine gua non will be a consideration in hard cash, probably in commection with the relinguish- ment of the eleventh article of the treaty of Gua- dalupe Hidalgo, which would relieve us from the onerous duty of protecting the Moxican frontiers against the wild Indians. We have no information, in a war with Great Britain oa the codfish question, the ultima ratio regum—an open rupture “ of the friendly relations existing between the two govern- ments.” But we must wait the settlement of the codfish question before we can expect any definite arrangement or explosion between the two nations, concerning the Tehuantepec route. We shall continue the publication of the official correspondence to morrow. The Henry Clay Calamity—The Steamboat Disasters In the United States, In the ease of the Heury Clay steamboat ca- tastrophe, we publish to-day an authentic list of ing upwards of seventy human beings, cut off suddenly from life by the reckless conduct of list does not, of course, embrace travellers from the South and West not yet missing, and, it may be, some strangers from Europe on a tourof the United States. Altogether, the hecatomb cannot fali far short of a hundred lives, sacrificelia a miserable trial of speed for the miserable purpose of growing suddenly rich, without regard to the un- lawfulness of the means, or the consequences spring- ing from the use of such means. Tt seems to us that the coroner’s jury in West- chester county are extremely slow in the discharge of their duty. The public and the friends of the deceased are looking to them for action, while they appear to be very drowsy. We trust that it will turn out that justice isnot dead, but only sleeps, and if she is slow, that sheis sure. The Fort Lee jury were prompt and up to the mark in the verdict they returned, which was as follows: ‘That the said Matilda A Fennell came to her death by the misconduct and culpab!e carelessness of the of- ficers and conductors of said steamer, in racing.” Here is an example for Westchester. For our part, we do not see the necessity of the investigation occupying a month, The facts are in- controvertible—the witnesses are unanimous—and the jury ought to have no difficulty in making up their mind. They bave bad sufficient testimony to arrive at a defiuite conclusion, and it is not necessa- ry to wait to identify all the bodics that are found, or may be found, before pronouncing their opinion on the character of the act by which so many, who are identified, have come by their deaths. The jury ought to quiet the public mind, and allay the feel- ings of the relatives of the deceased, by a prompt and a firm verdict. After discharging that—the important part of their duty—they can, from time to time, take testimouy as to the ident fication of such bodies as may hereafter be found. All eyez are turned to Youker?, and the most awful responsibi- lity rests upon them in a crisis which may be the turning point for the future safety of pas- sengers, or the downward progress to dostruction of many thousands fhore. The ancients repre- sented Justice as bliad of both eyes, to show her impartiality, and lame of one leg, te indicate that she was deliberate, and, it might be, tardy in her movements, though she was sure to come up in the end. In modern times Justice might be painted h one eye blind, and that turned towards the faces of the wealthy and the powerful, while the other, as keen as an eagle’s, is fastened on the poor and the general mass of the people. Instead of being lame of one leg, she often appears to be crippled in both, as if by a fit of the gout, and cannot make ay progress at all; while at other times she is as swift and loud tongued as a hound in fuil ery on the scent of bis prey. We trust this description will not apply to the coroner's jury in Westchester county. order,” reasonable time; and, when it a result as twelve honest me ed of, Attempts have been made to no racing, and no extra st comes, let it be such ced not be asham- how that there was m carried. People differ very much as to what racing is, and what | tve. But, to be a peg unt of steam may be regarded as cx 6 pr thére appears no: left to hang a doubton. It. is the sent c1 perk at the speed was not greater, nor the amount of steam higher, than on previous days, on whi t occurred. But that is only the he pitcher that goes often to the well, a he may possibly push this other issue with Moxico to | “Let all things be done decently and in | but let us have the result in some sort of | the dead whose fate bas been ascertained, reach- | those to whom their safety was entrusted. This | safety valve must have been steam escaping from the stesm thiek volume; the statement zon, ® postmaster in Clinton, Co., im yesterday's HERALD, that be examined the steam guage aud found that more steam was used in the Henry Clay than was allowed by her certificate; and finally, the statement in a cotemporury of an expert, a Western steamboat captain, that-on examining the boilers ‘the did not like appearances. The leaking steam from the joinings swelt hot and queer, sich as we sometimes get West, with a very strong fire under pressure of four hundred pounds.” All these are unmistakeable evidences of racing ; and though the flames did not break out till near | Youkers, the mischief was done before, by the over- | beating of the boat; and it is stated by Mr. Day tou, | that in the race to overtuke tho Armenia before as yet, however, that Mr. Webster has abandoned, | or intends to aban‘on, the Garay contract. Fuailing4] coming to Kingston, he distinctly smelled the very same sme! of smoke that preceded the fatal calami- ty opposite Yonkers. For the owners or officers to say there was no racing, after all this, is perfectly idle, and they might as well say the sun was net in the heavens at noon on one of these scorching days. Tho fire itself, is, at all events, evidence of noglect, and could not have occurred with o:dioary attention or ordinary care for the safety of the lives of those on board. The whole transaction, from beginning to end, reveals a state of facts that there was total | reckleesness of human life; and when the fatal acci- dent did oceur, there was a complete absence of the | means of safety and escape waich humanity and the law equally point out as absolutely necessary provi- | sions for such an emergency. The survivors are in | debted for their lives either to their ability to swim, or to the efforts of those who had no connec- . tion with the Henry Clay, and which were the result of chance or Providence, and not of any foresight on the part of the owners or officers of the ill-fated vessel There wasa want of presence of mind, sound judgment, and energy, on this terrific occasion, but for the absence of which the fatality would have been comparatively small, if, indeed, any Jifo at all would have been lost. These, however, are gifts which, though requisite in those in charge of a pas- senger steamboat, eannot be acquired, and the offi- cers are not responsible for what God never gave them; but the owners are responsible for the kind of men te whom they entrust the lives of so many hu- man beings; ond they are responsible for the racing, too—one of them being actually on board during the passage. Jn most previous cases of similar disaster, howover great may have been the moral certainty of guilt, there has been much difficulty in obtaining the legal evidence necessury for a conviction. Here the case appears to be clear; and if an example be not made now for the good of the community, we despair of ever seeing it done. This is a case in which the whole community are deeply interested, as may be seen from the following table, we have compiled from the columns of the New York Heraxp, of the steamboat accidents within the present year, or in a period of a little over six months:— STEAMBOAT ACOL IN THE UNITED STATES IN 1852, Jan'ry 9—Boiler of mer Maguolia_ exploded, at St. Simon’s Island, ( eorgia, 13 persons killed; 11 injured. 14.—Boiler of steamer George Washington ex- ploded, near Grand Guif, Mies, 16 lives lost; 10 persons injured 14.—Stentner Martha Washington burnt, near Memphis, Tena. 5 lives lost. 25,—Steamer Pitzer Miller's boiler exploded, at the mouth of the White river.

President Arista thought the tenacity of Mr. Web- ster to the Garay grant was very mysterious. The sudden and excessive repugnance of the Mexican government against the treaty is still more eu- riovs, after having passed it from one confir- mation to another, through a ffriod of ten years. We can only repeat our misgivings of the misshie- yous intrigues of British agents, and of the hostility of the Mexican clergy to the introduction of a Yan- koo colony into the heart of Mexico.

But thore seems to be considerable apprehension that the free soilers and seceesionists, co-operating with the whigs, will lay out General Armstrong as flat as they did Major Donelson. It is certainly very hard that the demo- crats eannot agree upon an organ, or that the ouly organ they have in Washington should languish for want of a little treasury pap, and in the midst of the necessities of a Presidential canvass. But if the majority of the two houses can’t agree upon a printer, it is to be hoped that, for once, consulting the public interest, they will agree upon a printing office.

The boats were to sail from N. Bur- ger’s dock, Port Ricbmond, to and around Fort Dia- mond, and back to the place of starting. They left the starling point at twenty-nine minutes to 11 A.

In about half an hour afterwards a epirited horse, owned and driven in a light wagon, by Mr. Bernard Duly took Sight in Mur. ray sireet and became unmanugeable Mr. Duffy jumped from the wagon. and at the same moment the horse freed himeelf, detaching the shafts and bar withhim. He bo- came wild, and dashed at rapid pace through West Broadway to Canal street, into and up Centre, aud down Chatham and Nassau to Fulton ferry, where he was se- cured. The fortupate absence of vehicles from the flrects enabled the pedestrians to escape without injury. Had this occurred upon 4 week day we should have had some frightful accident to record.
