The Aj nded Trouble Between Great tain and the United States. Prrem the Boston ee Everett's organ), Noy. 13. OWNTRAL AMERICA AND THE BRITISH WEST INDIA SQUADRON. Notwithstanding the iutimation of the London Times that the large increase of the English naval force on the American coast is id to intercept any Irish or ‘otper filibustering expeditions that may be fitted out of eur ports against any Swlation of our neutrality laws, and the suggeation of the New York Courrier des Biats Unis, that its object is to look out for American vessels bearing Russian come” missions, we suppose that the prevalent opinion of the lic is, that the real cause of the apparently threaten- attivude of the British government, must be traced, to ihe tone tahen oy our own governwment in relation to the asserted obligations of the jaytom and Bulwer treaty. In connection with this may also be taken the com- te mide by our government of the conduct of Mr. ampton in relation to the recruiting of troops for the Russian war in this country, the euaracter of which is but impertectly understood, Should this supposition prove to be well founded, al- though the step thus taken by the British governmeat exhibits, in a strong point of view, their dissatisfaction with the course taken by our Cabinet, and a decided de- termination on their part not to yield to the pretensions which they suppose ase involved in it, it is not a measure that seenis likely to lead to any immediate serous re- mults, Ihe course of our Cabine* in the negotiation now Drought to a close in the abrogation of the convention of 1660, is, douvtless, designed as a step towards a practical carrying out of what is calied “the Monroe doctrine” in rd to colonization in America, which was so musn alecusted in the Senate three years ago on Mr. Casa’ reso- lutions. The step thus taken will, doubtless, prove as effective of oy eae result, as resolutions would have been, had they been adopted by the Senate, en pro- dably uo more. The result of the negotiation, if the pub- Nshed account of it 1s correct, (which, perhaps, admits of doubt,) is that the conven ion is formally annulled. If this be true, the Monroe doctrine remains where it did Before, and is neither enforced or confirmed. Nor is it to be brought to an Issue by any summary proceeding of the British fleet, however powerful. The object of the convention, and the enly directly de- elared object, was to set forth the views and intentions of the two powers, ‘with referenee to any means of com- munication by ship canal, which may be constructed be- tween the Atlantic and Pacific oceans”? by way of the river San Juan and lakes Nicaragua and ‘ua, and terminating at avy port or place on the Pacific ocean The project of the ship canal was demonstrated by the surveys made to be visionary and impracticable, shortly after ihe treaty was sigued, if not before. That object of the treaty was therefore long ago an acknowl fail- mre. As incidental to the declared bid seed of con- veation, the contracting powers mutually agreed that they would take no measures, by alliance with any of the Sta‘es of Central America, for erecting any fortitizarions for the purpose of obtaining a control over the said ship eanal; and that they would not coon py, colonize or exer- ¢ive any dominion over Nicaragua, Co-ta Rica, the Mos- quito Coast, ‘or any part of Ceutral America,” So far ws this went, although the scheme of a ship canal had proved an abortion, it appeared to be # salutary pro- Yisien for quieting any jealousies that might te enter. thived by the people of either country of the designs of the other upon those Territories, or upon the thorough- fares which might be established through them, by means of railways or boat canals and lake navigation. It is therefore, pertaps, to be regretted that the treaty shoul not be retained in force, though it is impossible to foresee what might be its operation for the future, under the rivalries and inefficiency of the local governments of that oonntr, That the English Cabinet should have felt a little indig- mantis the pretension insisted on by our government, that'dy the above quoted terms of the convention, it way the intention of that government to renounce their @aims to territory in Honduras, which had been held by them under treaty with Spain, from tho date of our independence, it is difficult to comprehend. There 2 a word in ely (herder to bps dte that er ty relinquis an; it held by it, x Central “Ameren. or i aeevinne ae is there anything in it which can be fairly inter- ed as conveying the idea that the mutual en- sagement that the contracting parties would occupy or ol “or assume or exercise any dominion over Nicar- , Costa Rica, the Mosquito t, OF any part of tral America,’? was regarded by either of them as embracing British Honduras. This {sa tract of country distinctly known as not embraced within the Istely con- federated States known under the designation of Central America. The confederation under this name did in fact embrace Spanish Honduras, which State is not named in the convention. But had it been so named, it would not have included the British settlement of Belize and British Honduras, which had been occupied by Great Britain under treaty with Spain, long before the independence ot the Spanish colonies, under treaties dating as early as wes 1786. But however preposterous this claim set forth by Gen. Gass and others under the treaty may be, itis as yet merely » claim on paper, Preeident Piorce has not fitted @at an armed force to sustain it, and therefore the British squadron will find no enemy to attack. There are there- fore no immediate ill consequences to be apprehended from this show of force in our sens. (From the National Intelligencer, Noy. 13.] OUR RELATIONS WITH GREAT BRITAN. We bave been informed by a gentleman who has mach better opportunities than we have for acquiring a knw. ledge of diplomatic secrets, that the letter from ‘‘a Phila- delphia merchant sojourning in London,” which was trans ferred to our columns of yesterday, is erroneous in its statement of a quarrel having occurred ‘between the American Administration and Lord Palmeraton’s Minis- »? in relation to the Central American treaty.

The reverse ix the fact. The British government has made # reply, agreeing to the construc- dion ot our government, and submitting a different con- struction, but leaving the question open for further ne gotiations. The correspondence has not been angry or unfriendly in its tone on either side. Indeed, from the urbanity und courtesy which fs known to characterize ‘the parties entrusted with it, no harshness or diplomatic impropriety could have been expected. {Correspondence of the Courier and Enquirer. } BRITISH SURVEILLANCE.

I ‘was informed upoa credible an- thority that’ up to yesterday the government had no information from which the motives of this bellig- erent exhibition could be guessed. That Great Britain shoud send fleets to our shores in a time of per- fect calm and the most assured repose not only between the governments but the people of the two countries, with the avowed purpore of putting our ports under sur- veillance and coercing our merchant marine, seems al- most a moon-struck madness. We know that the pretext set up by the Zimes of an apprehended descent from the United States upon Ireland is an impudent invention, No such idea ever crossed the mind of British states. ‘man or editor except as an excuse for this hostile and sive proceeding. “fEnese wivices took the President and Cabinet as much by surprise as they did the public. Tam informed tans despatohes from our Minister do not allade’to the wubject, but [ understand that it has engaged the atten tion of our government. What has been done, of course not known outside of official circles. One of the most offensive diatribes against the United States in connec- tion with this avowedly hostile naval expedition, was published in the Morning Post, a tender upon Lord Val- merston. Appearing in that quarter, it has the sanction of a vemi-official manifesto, and as such may be noticed y our government. The case is the same as if the fashington Union should, in a leading article, nounce that the government was inti expeditions were fitting out in the a descent upon Long Island, and fleet of war steamers to cruise in the righ the view to intercept them or prevent th with the object also of overawing the Briti« and inducing it to recall Mr. Crampt: statements appear in the Union, it that a most earnest correspondence would immediately ensue, and if no satisfactory expl ere given by the government, these menaces f-om its newspaper organ woul! be answered by the equipment and despatch of a British det. There are a variety of conjectures as to the real objects of this singular proceeding. One is that it i# meant to intimidate the acrninistration, and thus induce it to with draw from its demand for redress on account of filibuster- ing attempts by the British Minister and Consuls in the United States, The Morning Post explicitly asserts that this is one of the objects of the expedition. In its own words, the design is to lower the arrogance and cool the sensitivencas of the American government. Another suppeition not less probable, is, that as the Clayton and Bulwer treaty has been, after more than two yeare discussion, just abrogated, this fleet may be in tended to take forcible possession of Greytown, expel Kinney and his colonists, and restore the ‘sattoriiles which Capt. Hollins found there previous to the gallant and glorious exploit of the bombardment. The restora- thon of the Momatto ln . the detence of the Raxtan group, perhaps the chastisement of Waiker aad his busters may be Included tm this enterprise.

In confirmation of your editorial remarks of this morn- in pon the absurd accusations of the British press, 1 wish to state a few facts. The present executive govern- went put down a filibuster expeilition against Venezuela; they put down the expedition against Cuba; they put down Walker’s expedition to Mexico; they attempted, in good faith, to arrest Walker’s expedition to Nicaragua, ind were defeated in the offort through the refusal of the French Consul. Dillon, to appear as a witness; and they broke up Col. Kinney’s expedition to San Juan del Norte, as far as it was of a military character. But in addition to this, may say that our government has taken steps to stop the reinforcements which Gene- ral Walker expects from California; and that they have instructed General Persifer Smith to exert his whole force for the restraint of the Texan invasion of Mexican territory! This statement will be denied by none. The thunder and blunder of the Loncon Times was based upon certain information from this country—per- haps a clique in New York, and probably from a higher authority. That four-masted ship, about which there was #0 much excitement some wecks ago, which was to go out armed for the captare of the Cunarders, was no doubt the cause of misrepresentation and some sensation abroad. The ship, aiter full investiga tion, was adjudged to be innocent of the intentions im- puted to her: and farther, it was proposed to the British agents, if they were not satisied with the result of the investigation, that a regular prosecution against her would be commenced. That incident is the only gcound afforded to the British press or the British government for the suspicion, in which both seem to indulge, of the organization here of a privateering system aguiust the commerce of the allied Powers under the Russian flag. ‘The expected and practical assault upon our Monroe doctrine by a British expeditionary force is uo joke. It will be a serious affair. They cannot repudiate their acknowledged obligations under the Ciayton-Bulwer treaty, upon the pretence that we have violated it through Walker’s expediton, or by placing upon it an in- terpretation which they reject. The Monroe doctrine, as the matter now stands, has a practical Bratiah interpretation to this extent—that they ave assumed possession or authority over at least one- ae ot the whole territory of the Central American tutes.

Having perseveringly annoyed the mer- chants with regard to the measurement of their vessels until they have been forced in self-preservation to turn around and defend themselves, and the arm of the law has effectuaily been interposed to prevent further perse eutions, he has made the astounding discovery that she registers of at least nine-tenths of the vessels out of this porthave become forfeited by non-compliance with an act of Congress, passed in the last century, but which with the tacit consent of his predecessora ‘in office, has for many years been considered as a dead letter on the statute books. ‘The act af 1792 provides that an oath like to that taken by the owner obtaining the register of a vessel, shail be taken by every part owner thereof, within ninety days after such register is granted, or the vessel will be de prived of her national character and foreign tonnage mo- my exacted. This oath shall declare, in addition to the particulars respecting the vessel, the deponent’s uame and piace of abode, the names of the other owners, {f nd their places of abode, and that the master is a T.

The Secretary of tho Treasury (according to th Jar of the Collector) has given orders tha! shall now be taken within 00 days after the dat circular, and new registers taken out, failing which, the penalty ix to be exacted. For each of these oaths (no swearing to & whole batch at once) & fee of 20 cents ne crues to the Collector as well as some dollars for every register; and as there is an average of half a dozen own: ors to each veasel, and on every change of ownership a new register has to be taken out, and the requisitions of the act of 1792 again complied with. it will be seen that 8 placer hax beens brought to light by our worthy collec- tor, whichnot only will fill his own pocket with rocks, bot give hima strong claim upon the gratitnde of his successors in office. But possibly their cause to thank him will not ent here, “As the Inw prescribes what the additional part owners are to swear to, it follows that uniees its requisi- tions are complied with (and the Collector has no power to dispense with portions of them) the oath taken wilt not be in accordance with the law; anda future Collec- tor will, filled with real for his country and bis pocket make known the fact that the ovths now being taken be- fore the Collector, not naming the co-owners of the sel, nor the master, are imperfect and invalid.

DisturBaNce tN BaTH,Mr.—The Bath Tribune gives ap account of a riot which cecured in that city on unday last. It appears that the Cathoiics attempted to hold religious exercises appropriate to laying the corner stone of a new churel, but they were interrnpted by a mob, which put a stop to the services by acts of violence. The Tritwne says During the forenoon # wooden cross, which had been erected was foreibly pulled down. Early in the afternoon an American flag wae raired amid the cheering of a considerable number of persons who showed themselves hostile to the exercises and the occasion. Mr. Russell, acting Mayor, pulled the flag down amid shouts of “bustle him out!’ ‘and hisses. But on his leaving it was again put ap. A rush was made for the corner stone, which had been previously laid, and several attemps made to remove it from its setting, which was prevented, as we learn, by the exertions of Marahal ker and Mr. Constable Leach, who kept the crowd at bay, The Catholics, finding they would be opposed in theit exercises, quietly withdrew and left the lawless mob in possersion of the field. No attempt that we hear of was made to arrest any of the disturbers of the peace up to four o'clock. At abont five o’cloek, the crowd, having accomplished their objects and jade fed the religious exercires, gradually dispersed. ig the temper of the people, the Bishop sent word to his parish that the exer- cises would not be held. pcr | Theatres and Exhibitions.

The stock market was unsettled this morning at the opening, and so continued throughout the board. Thi movement in Erie served to sustain prices for all othe: stocks, The shorts in this fancy have suffered some, bu’ their time will come again one of these days, when th: cifference will be on the other side ot the account. The clique who purchased some weeks since at 54 a 56, per cent, tosome extent on time, are now taking in thet contracts and making new purchases. This has created a demand for the stock, which is the principal cause 0: the rapid rise. Street contracts in the neighborhood of 40 percent are just now unprofitable affairs, but most of the contracts now maturing were put out at high prices an can be taken in now at a profit, notwithstanding the rapid rise within the past week or so. It is our opinion that the combination will get all they want of thi cornering operation, They can get just a: much Erie stock as they want at between 5! and 60 per cent, but the probability is, that whew they want to sell, prices will run down to the neighbor hood of 40 per cent again. It was reported in the street this moyning that the leading spirits im this inflation are parties intimately connected with the New York Central Company. It appears to us that they are getting out of the frying pan into the fire. If they are in as de+; as reported the probability is that the market will be fu: some time liberally supplied with New York Central stock to raise the funds to meet maturing contracts i Erie, There was quite an active movement to-day in Ii- linois Central bonds, The sales amounted to abou $150,000, principally on time. Reading was pretty wel sustained, but the sales were only to a moderate exteat Western railroad stocks were active, without materi ) charge in prices.

T remain, very respecttully your obedient servant, RAMON LEON SAY A few days since a correspondent of the Times made an attack upon the credit of Geo. Smith, Esq., the Chicago banker, and doubted his responsibility as a depository of the Galena and Chicago Railroad Company. In reply, we showed conclusively that Mr. Smith was one of the wealthiest bankers in the country, and that the company ran ne risk on the small amount left occasionally in hix hands, Irritated and annoyed at this, and finding that Mr. Smith was beyond and above such petty malice, the Times turns its venom upon an innocent, inoffensive, un- assoming unsophistleated—but not unknown or unpro- cuetive—railroad company, the managers of which hard- ly know that there is such a publication in existence. ‘That they and the public may see how our cotemporary writhes under the refutation of ite slanders, we give its Inst amiable effusion:— In regard to Mr. Smith’s responsibility—while the Brxary attempts to prove too mach, and thereby renders iweli supremely ridiculous ia claiming extravagant baok balances, the shi ‘d of which, in these times would be deemed @ high estimate, and in asserting a bank responsi- bility in Seotland, which, if it really had an existence, woud prove Mr. Smith worth a few hundred thouraud dollars, or one-twentivib of the Seottish bank’s capital, and one-fourth the Georgia wild cat money he professes to be responsible for—we have had little to say hereto- fore, and shail not now discuss it, Our business is more particularly with the Galena and Ciicagp road, whose shares are selling at @ premium sufficiently credita- Dle in the market to render its close alliance with the Atlanta money @ maicter of moment to the uublic, who may buy, and to the shareholders who fave bought into the stock. We feel that the press has license to diseuss .the subject because the drnatp bas been industriously and constantly em- ployed in puffing this security as worth 509 per cent, by abusing another property nearer home, one involving thirty-eight or nine millions of dollars, as being dear at 90 oF ‘00 pen cont. Our readers will bear us witness that we have been no partizan of the New York Central, and that, on every proper occasion, we have spoken freely of its executive management, while esteeming the route it- sel! one of the very best in this country, and we there- fore feel the freer to say that the comparison instituted by the Heratp writer is not only absurd, but exceedingly unwise, under the facts in the history, financial or othe:- wire, of the two roads, When it is remembered that the Albany clique which planned and executed the New York Central consolida- (ion scheme, is the same that conceived and brought into existence the New York Daily Times; that the parties who bought up the Troy Railroad for $125,000, aad turned it into the Central at $450,000, are precisely the same individuals who shortly before bought up the editor of the Times—from a conservative to a radical abolitionist —for the consideration of $10,00. ‘ bonus” stock in said paper down, and a Lieutenant Governorship and other po- litical advancement in prospective, it is not at all surpris- ing that our exposure of their swindling schemes should touch the editor a little ‘‘ nearer home” than is agreeable. ‘The Times is emphatically and exclusively an Albany concern—got up by Albany capital and Albany politi- cians. twas found necessary to plant » spoke in the political wheel in New York to correct the erratic ten- dencies of the Tribune, and the present editor of the Times, though a staunch conservative, was discovered to be an instrument as well adapted to that purpose as Troy and other trash to the consolidation scheme, and pur- chaseable at equally accommodating rates. The New York Central Company has a nominal direction scattered through the State, composed in part of very honest and worthy men. Its real direction, however, is in that hot-bed of iniquity, Albany. So with the New York Times. It is controlled apparently in New York, but its actual management and all its sympathies are at its birthplace and with its authors. A clique of scheming politicians and stock gamblers at Albany use both to control the powers of the State for their own selfish and sordid ends. No wonder that when the abominable knavery of their schemes is brought to light, the culprits naturally rush to the Times for help, and that that journal comes to the rescue as well as it can. To the plain and perfectly distinct statements of fact made by us, the Times as plainly and distinctly tells them they are unanswerable. Abuse has already beon tried by the Journal and Argus—organs still “nearer home”’—without much apparent effect. What, then, brothers in affliction, our cotemporaries naturally ask, can be done? Is the Huraup invulnerable? Has it no, dog that we can kick? some favorite, some pet—no mat. ter how innocent or inoffensive—anything, to give us & little sweet revenge upon its master? The Galena and Chicago Railvoad is, in their opinion, considered about as good a thing toabuse as can be found. They no doubt think that by pitching tnto that they touch a tender point, For months we have held up that road as the model road of the world, and our callous cotemporaries know very well that wien they abuse that they not only arouse as, but all honest men in this community, who are anxious to see one honest railroad company amidst the general wreck of such works, sustained and encouraged; one in which the widows? and orphans’ mite is safe from grasp- ing speculators and swindling political financiers, Unlike the Central organs, we shall proceed to answer its statements on the merits. We shall take its points— whether insinuations or otherwise—one by one, examine them with fairness and candor, and dispose of them asthe facts may warrart. We shall see how a plain tale will unravel and put down the tissue of ingeniously worked up fiction displayed inthe above article. Let the Central scheme ,’follow our example ; lay aside their nonsensical abuse, and meet us by facts and fair argument if they dare. As for the Galena and Chicago Railroad we care not a straw for it, except to hold it up as a model road, and to show its management in contrast with that of the Central and other roads. Nor do we care a fig for Mr. George Smith. We never laid eyes on the man to our knowledge, and have never in the slightest degree counte- nanced his «ystem of banking. We simply wished to state that whatever opinion might exist in regard to the system, Mr. Smith’s personal responsibility was beyond questicn, and that the Galena and Chicago Company were safe in keeping their account at his bank in Chicago. But to the facts. ‘The “supremely ridisulous” claim of a bank ba- lance of ‘ $600,000 or $700,000” turns out to be as fol- lows :—On the 10th inst., (the day that our article was writton,) Mr. George Smith had a balance to his credit with his bankers iny, | city a8 follows :— American Fxchane} Bank . Messrs. Strachan & Scott, Total. tj a This isabout as near ‘ $600,000 or $700,000, say, as could be conveniently stated. As to the wealth of Messrs, Strachan & Scott, and the strength of their bank in Scotland, the Zines makes a fine spun and rather quibbling deduction feom the phraseology of our remark, the benefit of which he is entirely welcome to. The safety of the trifling deposits of the Galena Company, kept with George Smith & Co., of Chicago, (the bulk of their account being kept in this city,) may be inferred from the fact that the Chicago and Rock Island, the [ilinois Central, and many other compa- nies of like respectability, keep their accounts in the same bank. We nover said that Galena stock was worth 500 per cent, We sald that the road earned, in propor to its capital, five tines more money net than the New York Central, and that if the latter stock was worth one hundred, Galena must be worth five hundred. We were very far from stating or admitting that Central was worth that figure, or anything like it. Mr. Smith is not a “leading director of the Galena and Chicago.” We are informed that he resides in this city, seldom attends the meetings of the board, and has the least to say of any one of the directors. The Galena has but one “branch,” sixteen miles long, which was built and paid for without the slightest personal ageney or participation on the part of Mr. Smith. There are no “rival lines”? to the Galena, consequently Mr. Smith can have no such stock, that's retty certain. So far as we know he is not interested in any of the lines about Chicago, except Galena. His stock in this company he subscribed for originally, and holds it yet, and from the fact that he has received more than the entire purchase money buek in dividends we should say he could afford to, particularly as the balance at his banker’s found to have been considerably larger than we stated. we should Stock Exe 5 mired Nov. 14, 1855. $1000 Mis 6’s.....83 88 600 sha Erie RR,.b10 2000 Tim Im ’47... 102 100 do .....810 16000 Ind State S's. . cox 400 do 860 YH. 6 20000 do... 1000 NY Cen 7's - 10% 10 she Bh of NAmer.. 102 100 ° 10 Com'wealth Bank 4 700 Harlem RR, 2045 48 Mechanics Bank. 1183, 1 20% 5 aan Bk. 100 88 9 6 + 100% b+4 8854 re at 88 33 100 Mich Cen RR.at60 95 50 do... .b60 16 0 do . ” 50 Penna CoalCo.b3 95% 60 do. .
