Nevertheless, it cannot be deduced from this that such | Yneession should be extended to the citizens and vessels | the United States, which will be made more palpable 4 evident by a careful examination of the tenor and | Jeaning of the three articles of the treaty which his Ex- ~ gellency Mr. Clay cites in support of his claim. The second article, in the part applicable to commerer | ‘and navigation, is as follows:—‘The republic of Peru and the United States of America mutually agree that there | Bhall be reciprocal liberty of commerce and navigation between thelr respective territories and citizens. The | Bitizens of either republic may frequent, with their ves- | Rels, the coasts, ports and places of the other, wherever | foreign commerce is permitted. The said citizens shall have full liberty to trade in all parts of the territories of Bither, according to the rules established by the respec- | ive regulations of commerce.” | This article cannot serve as a ground on which to sup- Porta claim to navigate the inland rivers of the republic, which was uot stipulated nor conceded, but for the coasts, hat is to say, the shores of the 'ses and the adjacent Gand. There American veasels mny frequent and carry | on commerce, not in the interior of the rivers. Their margin and the adjacent land about them are called banks. The words employed in this article being clear pnd precise, we must not, without weighty reasons, de- from the use and application they have in ordinary Tage ec. he third article aaya:—The two hich contracting parties hereby bind and engage themselves not to grant any favor, privilege, or immunity whaiever in matters pf commerce and navigation to other ss which Bhall not be also immediately exten ted to the citizens of fhe other contracting party, who shall oy the same Bratuitously if the concession shall at br on giving 2 com; a rtionate value and effect, n conditional.

The navigation by steam vessels stipulated between Bhe governments of Pera and Brasil, as conterminous Btates, lying upon the banks and joint owners of the waters of the Amazon, cannot be claimed by the govern- ment of the United States, even if the terms of the copied frticles had been more explicit. The company forme with the funds of the Peruvian and Brazilian govern- nents, and destined to navigate the common waters en- Blosed within the territories of both states, is an affair Delonging to them, which cannot be considered as a con- Gession made to a third, and which if it coul be cla hy another would be equivalent to asking the favors we it to ourselves, and in respect to which the right of e most favored nation cannot apply, since a third foreign party does not intervene Peruvi citizens and vessels have the 2 navigate the Amazon, becar Pera, B State owning its banke, par tes in it wonjointly with all the conterminous States, ant is the waters of her rivers contribute to form i main channel.

The action of the government must be limited at first to establishing order and regularity in those forests and savage and soli- tary regions, in order to be able to guarantee the life aud property of the inhabitants, native and foreiga. Commerce in those districts is confined to simple ex- changes between the savages and the neighboring vil laves, and there exists no intercourse with foreigners meriting that name, in the rivers it could be claimed for American citizens; but commercial privileges cannot ve claimed without re ciprocity where there is no trafic. All that could ba asked from eru, and that Peru could concede, would bo ai the most one port for the eniry and discharge of ves sels, if all the conterminous States agreed to open the Amazon to foreign commerce. Some travellers, natural- ists and curious adventurers have gone to those districts, without the Pernvian government having opposed their desires; but fluvial navigation which is not established, cannot be granted, without the respective regulations ubjec and even known, no: being previously arranged. The Peruvian government, desirous of attracting immt- gration, industry and commerce to its interior rivers, and part of the Amazon which waters its terrilory, labored to establish colonies and to introduce small steamers for its exploration.

Caracas, March 26 Authorization Given to the Pri Banishment some of the Ezile ct Entered in'o with a Birm of Philadelphia for ing the City of Caracas with Gas—Judicial Statistics—Funds (0 be Applied to the Indemnification of Slave Owners, de. The popular excitement caused by the rumors of a new revolution, insidiously spread by the enemies of tho government, having subsided, tho nate has again takon into consideration a bill authorizing the executive power to recall from banishment such political exiles as are eon- vinced of the futility of their attempts to disturd the government, and wish to return to their country. The universal desire of the government, the Congress and the jeople of Venezuela is for peace. The people wish to dedicate themscives tranquilly to their labor, and the government desires anxiously to bestow its whole atten- tion on public improvements and on fostering the na- tional credit, placing it on a firm and flourishing basis. If ex-General Paez and his companions in exile would give up their foolish and useless pretensions to again rule and oppress Venezuela, and would honestly promise to abstain from all future attempts at hostilitie against the people or government, au would, in a sincere pirit, avail themselves of the well-tested clemency of the government by petitioning for pers m to return to their country, they wou ld no doubt obiainit, since Vene. zuela is as prompt to receive tho hand extended to hor in peace ag she is to resist violence. One of the projects for internal improvements of the present administration, which will soon be carried into effect, is the lighting of the city of Caracas by gas, in the same manner as New York. A privilege for this pur- pose has been granted toa firm in Philadelphia. This measure will be of the greatest benefit to Caracas, and will yield large and just profits to the contractors. ‘The judicial register of Venezuela for 1847, gives fitty- three cases of assassination, by fifty-one men and two sromen:; fifty-one were sentenced to death; eight were ac- tually executed; the semtences of forty-three were com- muted to im mment. Since i848 the list has not been #0 black; atrocious crimes have been rare from that time until now, as only three men have been executed for capital crimes, and none for political offences. The method of indemnify slave owners has been greatly improved during the recent debates in Congr on the abolition of slavery.

The number of slaves in Venez amounted'to 11,840—nearly ail the present date there remai may be calculated as follow: 9 at $300 ea ‘at $200; 2,000 at $100; 1,000 at $50; 1,000 at 7,000 at nothing, (according to law.) being abo years of age. ‘Lhis gives a total of $1,575,000. 8 ant the end of 1852, The ra sources provided for liquidating this sum are as follows:— In the first year, $420,261 63 stili owe? to government by native proprietors, many of thom being slave holders $100,000 to proceed froma the ten per cent upon all mu: cipal revenues, and about $80,000 from the new tax upon suger estates. This will pay olf in the first year more than $C00,000, rendering it highly probable that in the third year the whole sum will be paid off, especially as the municipal receipts increnso. In 1845 ‘they gave, » & ten per cent, $42,027 12; in 1853 thoy yielle | $91,016 92, and it is hoped they will cantinue to increase in the same proportion.

It is certainly true that if this intreduction was to be lirsited to a certain number, 2nd there was any security that they would not be reconstructed every twelve months for their national ives, there would be some hope of advancing the condition of the African laborer. But this is not the case; the numbers already in preparation. for introdue- tiom, if caught, would be almost beyond the power of enu- meration and registry by the government. But as long | the Platte river, and nas a beautiful an as the records can be kept up, the government will have the power of making those who take the apprentices re- | nety their payments with every year, but not the power | dor n after the lapse of three years.

The smallness of this majority furnishes a significant criterion of the character of the bill, less than do the pames recorded against its adoption. Among | these we find such names as Shields, Everett, Badger, Pettit, Adams, and other men of established reputation. This contrast may be easily understood. The states- men who opposed the passage of this measnre of reform, rave the mark,) knew it to be a bantling of the admin- istration, whose sole object is to make good, at the ex- pense of the old soldier, a part of their own wilful mis- management and bp dy Sel But they should have be- en nearer home. ‘the Gardner claim, and now the Gads- affair, should engage the attention of Messrs. Hunter, Pearce, Dent, &e., in the work of retrenchment. It is nut what is doled out to the helpless and tottering vete- ren who bas vindicated, at the peril of his life and at the ice of his health, the honor of his country’s flag, that hey should begin to try their hands in this pralsoworthy line. As for the prevention of frauds, which they say is the object of the bill, the assertion, to those acquainted with the present working of the pension office, is simply ridiculous. The bill must fail to ha’ useful effect, whicn have If the Pension bill now before Congress could provent or check these, it would deserve the thanks of the com- munity. But it is not so designed, and the defects of the prerent system are, as usual, to be visited on the poor old soldier. Have we not aright to complain of such unjust and one-sided legislation? By the recent war, territory to the value of millions was acquired to this country by the valor of her troops, and for their services they are en- titled to the nation’s gratitude, and at least t! nder assistance they now receive, um to tl noy- ance to which the present proposes to subject them. If their noble old chieftain, under whom they fought and conquered, (the illustrious Gen, Scott,) had been, as he ought to have been, the nation’s choice, these wrongs could not be perpetrated under his rule. But wo have instead the peddling policy of a dynasty which has little sympathy for the soldier, either by instinct or educa- tion, Whose instruments seck to sacrifice the interests of the poor pensioner to cover up their own shortcomings.

Next in importance will be the cities twelve miley each way north and south of us, Bellview and Winter Quarters, raking three very important river cities in one county. Besides the ordinary business importance of this new frontier river county in Nebraska, the great Pacific Rail- road is to pass through and have there (probably at Omaha city or_near,) a great restinghouse, before skim- ming the broad plaina avd leaping the Rocky Mountains. ‘The great place in embryo, Omaha city, is located im- mediately east of this city, on the Nebraska side, and about three miles distant. Bellview, the old missionary and trading station, is twelve miles below, but north of f 4d commendi view. Winter Quarters is twelve miles above, and is the site of the winter quarters of the firat Mormon emigrat. ing camp, which is also most beautifully situated. In fact we fo not know of three more charming or delight- ful town sites on the Missouri river than these. We would make a slight correction of an article recentl ublished in the Keokuk Dispatch upon that subject, Bits informant was in error in fegard to. the distance of country back that was well timbered and a good agricul. tural country. There is much worthless land, and that too destitute of timber, within one hundred and fifty or two hundred miles west of the Missouri river ; and although thore is much good land, and a considerable of timber, we would not have the people find themselves deceived in any way by our neglect or assent. There is no doubt that many will be disappointed and dissatisfied with the country, as it has by very many been overrated. It is not a positive paradise; there may be cold, heat and many other inconveniences to offend. The climate and aoil are both very similar to lowa, exeept when yon get far back from the streams; there you find sand and bar- rens. Many who go there to settle will finally find homos in this Stato, or cross the Rocky Mountains. The principal reason of this is a general scarcity of timber throughout these territories. This in time will of young timber, and every foot of these rich valleys will bud and blossom as the rose, and the iron horse, silks, cashmere and precious things from China, Japan @ Indies. ‘A good time 18 coming, boys; Wait s little longer.” Up, stir lively, work bravely, and pull together, and you will be fortunate if upon the route of this stupen- dous thoroughfare. Very Imrortant Lanp Question SETTLED. 1850, granting donations of the public lands to settlers in Oregon, various speculators pounced on the different town sites in that territory, in which they were all xet- tled. They were in all cases the first settlers on the dif- ferent tracts, and claimed, on the passage of the law above mentioned, the right to locate their six hundred and forty acre warrants so as to cover not only the por- tions of the various towns occupied by themselves but by others. The Surveyor General of Orevon decided in favor of their various claims; thus ousting all other persons who had also settled in the different towns of the Terri- tory and improved the respective lots they ocexpied. The Commissioner of the General Land Office, however, ‘on appeals from these decisions of the Surveyor General, reversed his decision on the ground that the donation law did not authorize the selection of the sites of settled towns, under it; and that under the law of May 23, 1844, the corporate authorities only are authorized to enter such lands in trust for all the oceupants of such lands or sites at the time such entries may be made. An appeal was taken from this decision, and the Secretary of the Interior has confirmed it we understand. It is said that the property involved in this decision is worth millions ef dollars. - BurFatogs oN THe PLAtNs.—The number of buf- faloes annually slaughtered on the Missouri plains is es- 150,000 buffalo robes.age received at various fur stsdions, and 100,000 buffaloes are supposed to be killed by the Indians merely to obtain their skins for tent coverings. Of the remaining. 150,000, some are diverted to the uses of blankets, saddles, skin boats, c., and also large numbers of the buffalo freeze or starve to Ceath in winter in the snow bauks which for months are found in drifts of from five to ten feet in depth, and num- bers of them are drowned in crossing the Missouri river in large herds, by crowding upon one another. These hides are, of course, lost. Ina vory fow years the buila- lo will be destroyed, for they are now slaughtered with o recklessness that destroys as if they were inexhaustible and iaaumerable. ‘eekly Re: of Deatns count ow York, from the 15th day of pril to the 224 day of April, 18: we In the elty and Men, 86; women, 79; boys, 137; girls, 1 54. 126.

Sowpay, April 293=6 P.M. At the close of the stock marke! yostérday the ten- dency of prices was downward. Prices Surteat were, however, in advance of those ruling at the clos of the week previous; but the feeling among speculatct™ was one of doubt afd uncertainty. The market bas no MMe’ init. The fluctuations are so sudden, and frequently so great, that buyers and sellers know not what mo- ment their margins may disappear, and leave them dif- ferences to adjust on the wrong side of the profit and Tess account. Operatidns in fancy stocks have been nothing less than a gamo of hazaréfor many months past. We have soen times when it was not difficult to tell the course of prices some days in advance, when one Gyuld aot ndorstandingly, and onlewlate pretty accu- | character ef the ! | cS rately ag to the result; but now everything connecteg. with Gnances is unsettled, and there are no guiding marks for the poor bewildered speculator, who may be long or short of any of the fancies. To hold such stuff, without any probability of » rise, is unfortunate enough, but to hold with a pros- pect of anything eccurring to suddenly depress them four or five per cent, perbaps ina day, is a position better imagined than deseribed. Many a bull has bean Prostrated in a day, while the bears have genorally suffer- ed a more lingering death. Fancy stocks never rise very rapidly, while panies have wiped out margins of ten and STteen per cent in an hour. Arapid rise almost invariably produces a reaction, which the bears can avail themselves of to take in their shorts. In times of so much public ex- citement the bears oceupy much the safest ground, for it takes good deal of fayerable news to put up prices, and we are not likely to haye much in that way at pre- sent from any quarter. On the other hand; stocks gene- rally are hands, who are not gnly able but dis- posed to carry them, Money is abundant, and the rates pretty well reduced, but we know not the day nor the hour when the bank dnanclers of Wall street will tightem the screws, and bring up those whg have large call loans with a short turn, The stock market is at present paat our comprehension, and those who can withdraw them- selves from its intricate ways for a time had better do 80 at once.

The Vallecillo Silver Mining Company bavo for some- time past been engaged in the shipment of steam engines , of great capacity, and other machinery for an active and extensive operation of their silver mines in Mexico. The Board of Direetors is composed of some of our wealthioat and most influential citizens, and there is very little | doubt but that everything that capital, skill and expe- rience ean do, will be done, to place these mines in a pro- ductive condition, in the shortest possible time. The mine has had a high reputation for the richness and abundance of its metals in the carly part of the present ceatury. The yield of the mino was very large upwarda of thirty years siaco, when worked by the old Spaniards, who were expelled the country in 1820, when the mine was abandoned. Since then the old mine, to the depth of * 245 feet, has been restored to its former usefulness by an American association, at great expense, and a now vein | penetrated to the depth of 160 feet. The cutting of the new vein in this mine made it ne- cessary, from the increase of water, to procure new and* powerful machinery. For the last eight months thia work has been under way, and there is now about ready | to ship a complete cornish engine of 150 horse power, cylinder 60 inches in diameter, ten fost stroke, and has | sufficient power to work the necessary pumps to the depth of a thousand feet, and will discharge 800 gallons of water per minute. Two shafts are sunk on the veim | ‘700 feet apart to the depth of 240 feet each, and @ com- munication made between them above the water level— say 120 feet from the surface. The labors or drifts have been cleared of the rubbish that had accumulated during the thirty years the mine lay abandoned. The hacienda or reduction establishment has been coupled with milla and all the appliances for extracting the silver from 200 tons of ore per month, The new vein and the vein worked by the old Spaniards are parts of the same vein—offshoots of @ still greater Yein recently discovered. The assays have been made by Dr. Louis Posselt, formerly Professor of the University of Heidelburg, Germany, whose reputation as a g¢dlogist and chemist is known all over Europe. Prof. Posselt’s assays were made on a ton ata time— in the new reduction works erected at the mine. The same ores, following the classification of Prof, Posselt, have been carefully analyzed by Dr. Enderlin of this city, and give the following result to the carga of 300 lbs. In ( this country, wo speak of the yield of ores per bushel, or hy the ton. In Mexico, every thing is caiculated by the carga of 300 Ibs., that being a mule load. 1. Collorados, impregnated with blue silver, $270 to 300 ne Coliorados, impregnated with groen silver, $324 to 800 5. OF black silver ore, $720 to 800 Ibe. of ore, 4. Lead silver ore, $253 to 300 lbs. ore. When a mine is well opened, and all the works in order, $10 to the carga will give a noble profit. The average yield of the Zacatecas mines do not give $10 to the carga, and the great mine of Frisnillo has long paid over half a million annual jd ores of which do not average over $5 to carga, —but there is no mere scratching on the surfaco here; everything is done on an enormous scale. | The Mexican laws have been carefully framed and) strictly adhered toin relation to mines and mining. The product of the silver mines boing the principal product of the country, it required well deiined and faithfully ad- ministered laws to lead to its encouragement, and for these reasons, foreigners, English particularly, have fear- lessly embarked in mining enterprises in Mexico. ‘tho laws provide:1. That no individual stockholder is liable for a greater amount than he obliges himself to expend | in working the mine. 2. No debt can be created against a mine but by duly authorized persons. / ‘The following will show the products of some of tha silver mines in Mexico:—La Luz, in Catoree, leaves to its) owners weekly from $24,000 to $48,000; Its ores, Dr.) Posselt states, are very similar to the ores of ‘Jesus Maris,” pod the mine is now regarded as being in a poor) state. “The Drphits of the mines of Guanajuato may be. || judged by the prices of the (varas) shares—every vara is 1-24th part of the mine, whicli {¢ sold as high aa from $100,000 to $200,000 per share. Sombereto gave, some; twenty years ago, in about seven months, a clear profit’! of five millions of dollars, and in Zacatecas there is hardly’ amine that has not had a bonanea (rich yield of silver) of some millions. One mine alone, San Avasio, gave be- fore the outbreak of the war of Independence, in a fow years, ferty-five millions, and Gallego in the years 1829" to 1835, eleven millions.”’ The receipta of the Indianapolis and Cincinnati Railroad, Company during the months of February and Mareh, 1854, were as follows:— esol of . 11,782 45 Total, sorpeereeery #20044 13 20,248 00) TndV4aHs, $8,004 48, or thirty-six per sent. ‘The Boston Transcript of the 19th inst., gives tne ané nexed condensed statement of the condition of the Co- chitants Bank at the Iatest date:— eee Bostow. eee *BorOOL drafter We., Woes, SO7b,0T8 al Feder ant March, $12,580 18,667 exe Toth! 9676,078 It wil ‘fe verge mee pete can bane oxceei alarm w; part of bil holders or depositors, there ‘fs surph.§ of $272,360, after paying the in- debtedness to the puin'¢- Moredver, the stockin are ly Hable for 2 amount equal to their stock.
