The United States brig Germantown has arrived in our port, atter s long cruise, and ia quite a favorite with ‘us, as is also the Bajnbridge, which is now down at the river La Mate. Mr. Norris, a son of Capt. Norris, of Baltimore, died ot fever on the 9th of this month. Heretofore foreigners who have cied in this port have atways beam buried in the Fng‘ish burial ground at Gamboa, one of the moet picturesque spots in the world. But this governwent have now alloted « place where all foreigners are to be buried, and no one for the future will be baried in the English ground, except the Engtish. This has created ‘a rensation amoi g the Americans bere, and our govern ment at Waehizgton is justly censured for not endeavor- ing to previde proper buria) for Americans. We have here, it is true, bat few residents, but we have a large quantity of shipping covstan'ly in this port, and gener: awe fifteen bundred American sailors Taose who die hese are sent to such places as the authorities dictate, and are obliged to take such coffins as the authorities of the Misery Recorda have a mind to give us, and psy a Leopiteys even on those. Capt. Norris and others told me that they wished to get a coffin from th> English sexton, which privilege was dented them, and they were informed that if they attempted to bucy the deceased person in an English fcoflin, ordere would be iesved to take the remains out cf the e°fiia and p'ase them in one from the Misery Reoorda. This turest, I am certain, would not be sanctioned by the Brazilian autno- it it will do to frigh:ep strargers wao are not t with the langusge and customs of the enuntry. During the month of November there were 77,658 begs o! coffee despatched to the United States:—Balticwore, 12,785 bags: Boston, 2 967; California, 2,831; Charleston, 2,404, Mobile, 3,046; New Orleans. 35,950; New York, 7,300 Philadelphia, 9,780. Price paid for those lo's of Novem- ber were from 4|700 to 4/900 ries per arora, say $2 du per srobs of 82 los.; and wt the same prise 60, of coffee has been despatcaed during this montn United States:—Baltimore, 16.200; New Orleaua, 31,239, Philadelphia, 13,317 bags. About 40,000 bage exist in first hancs at this date. Flour—There is in first hands, 52,247 barrela; sscond bands, 20 364; total, 72.611 barrels. Last rales Gallego, 274000 ries; poorest brands, 19/000 2 204000. Flour must always be low in this market when there exists over 25,000 barrels at this port. Tuo ve Janzmo, Des. 22, 1855.

Arraignment of Wilitam H. Garland, the AM Detaulter. [From the New Orieans Picayune, March 6.) A ramor which prevailed yesterday morning, to the effect that Wm. H. Garland, the impeached ex-freasurec of New Orleans, was to be taken before Recorder Brigut for arraignment, brought quite a crowd of the curious around the office There snpeared, however, to be but litte chance ot witnessing the solemn ceremony; for the houra wore away from 10 o’cleck A.

Shortly after the clock streck 1, @ carriage drove bastily up, between the City Hall abd the Ke- corder’s cftice, and the ex Tzearurer, accompanied by th Chiet of Police, stepped out and walked up stairs into the Recorder’ p: esence. As he enteres the cvurt rv om, we noticed that his ste bad lot something of its wonted firmness. His face was pole, and there was a world of meaning—aye, of agony— in the convulsive movemenvs of the muscles around his mouth and eyes. Although he had not been subjected to the prying gaze of an eager crowd, still » conecious- nets cf rhame res:ed, like an incubus, upon him, and bis eyelics fell whenever he caught a glance of picyiag recog: xition from one he knew, aud had known wien his hopes ‘were brighter. The Recorder, atter the prisoner had taken hia stand in the crimtnal’s Cock—-he same dock in which vagran's, burglars and murderers bave «tood—:eaa the first affida- vit which had been made against the prisoner by the Chairman of the Finance Committee of the Common Coun- cil. This affidavit charges that Wm. H. Garland, wh entrusted with the safe keeping anc disbursement of t city revenues, did, on divers times, traudulently and loniourly embezz'e and conyert to his own use $25.(00 and upwarcs of moneys belonging to the city. An aifida. vit, subsequently Ceposed to by the same parties, increased the charge to over $200,000 ss the amount embezzled by the accused. When asked whether he pleaded guilty or not guilty, the privoner, in a very low tone of voice raid “Net ullzy,’’ and asked for time to consutt ht: legal advisers, Slesnts. Logan Hunton and Randell Hunt. The Recorder said that the case of OU. A. Pitfleld and E. McFarlane had been fixed for Saturday next, ant he thought it best to fix this case atthe same time. ry would not, however, press the matter as to a or two, and if, on’ Satnrday. the counsel employed in the caso did not consider themselves ready for a hearing, a pos: ponemwent might be hed. The der also odaercol that he wised to know befurehand woen the prisoner would be ready for ¢xamination, ae he had promised to telegeaph tor Mr. Moise, the Attorney General, who wish. ed to be prerent. ‘As to the batl, the Recorder said he had fixed {t at $500,000, that being about twice the amount atieged to bave been wie!. The bail of the other partiea—i’it field and MoFarlane—-was fixe at $25 000 each.

The event of the past week in the stock marke was the panic in Nicaragna Transit, caused ; the news from Nicaragua that the company’s char ter had been annulled, and its property seized an confiscated. The public mind is decidedly again Walker and his abettors in this movement, and he has lost that popularity which his previous acts created. He has simply been made a tool of by ce tain cliques of stock speculators. As soon ag tl parties to whom we allude had arranged with Waike: the annulment of the Transit charter, their coufede rates here entered the stock market, and sold th stock of that company short to a very large amount. It was with them a sure game, and it worked, dou! less, to their satisfaction. Others put a different o traction upon the matter, and say that the whol ffair was conceived in frand and carried out upon he same principle. It matters not who these] cliques are composed of—it matters not if «ome the present management of the rai si Com. papy are engaged, as is representec—it di not alter the complexion or character-of the opera | ‘ion a bit. Itis a stockjobbing affair thro: ghoxt, and the sufferers are stockholders in the Tiameit} Company. t | Some months since the San Francisco agent of the Transit Company employed Walker, at that time an unsuccessful filibuster, to proceed to Ni- caragua with a small force, for the purpose of putting | an end, if possible, to the internal difficulties of that country. The Transit Company furnished him all the aid and comfort necessary both to get to the | coast and through the interior. Its steamers were at his service and used in his operations. Money ‘was secretly conveyed to him, and under the auspi- ces of the Transit Company Walker established hiz government in Nicaragua. The company’s ateam- ers have been of the greatest service in conveying recruits and munitions of war, on both oveans, to- his support, and their steamships have been seri- ously interrupted in their trips by the suspicions of the United States government that they were con- nected with Walker. We hold that everything hae been done by the Transit Company to sustain Walker in his revolutionary operations. It has run the risk of losing its steamships by siezure on the part of our government, and been at all times liable, upon the slightest suspicion, to detention and expense. It has conveyed passengers, destined to Granada and other places in Nicarngna, at lower rates of passage than usual, and by keeping up a regular communication, aided ma. terially emigration to that country. All this has had no influence upon Walker’s personal operations or upon his personal feelings. Indebted entirely to the Transit Company for his present position, we 2d. that as soon as he has acquired a little independent strength, he turns upon the Company which has rendered him such important service and-has been prevailed upon by certain parties who have hostile feelings towards its present managers to use his power to crush it. Walker is perhaps more honest in this movement than his advisers. His crime is simply ingratitude; theirs the use of such means to injure innocent parties. We are induced to believe that Walker has been made a tool of ; but when we consider the aid and comfort he has received from the Transit Company it does not speak very well for his sense of honor or common honesty to suffer himself to be used for such a purpose. It has been represented that the present manage- ment of the Transit Company was opposed to- Walker and were about taking steps to crash him. This is so absurd on the face of it as to hardly be worth noticing. Negotiations have for some time past been going on between the Pacific Mail Steamship Company and the Accessory Transit Company, relative to a combination of interesta for the more profitable prosecution of the trade and traffic in which they are engaged. It has been pro- posed that the Pacific Steamship Company rnnits steamers between San Francisco, Sau Juan del Sur and Panama, alternate weeks. One week to San Juan del Sur from San Francisco and the other week to Panama from San Francisco. The Transit Company were to confine its operations to this side of the isthmus, running its steamers one week from this port to San Juan del Norte, and the other week to Aspinwall. An effort was made to divide the mail contract on this side, the Transit Company agreeing to carry the mail weekly instead of semi-monthly, at about half the present cost. The only obstacle to the above combination was the unwillingness of the government to divide the mail contract—to permit the mail to pass through Nicaragua—and recent. events show the wisdom of that determination. Un- der the present rule, mail matter or treasure is not safe within the limits of Nicaragua, tor Walker's necessities may induce him to seize upon any pro- perty that may be, unfortanately for its owners, with- in his jurisdiction. But for this difficulty relative to the mai) contract, the two companies above named would by this time have completed all their arrange- ments for distinct operations conjointly in each ocean. A weekly mail communication would have been kept up between New York and San Fran- cisco, Nicaragua would have the benefit of semi- monthly intercourse with ports of the Atlantic and Pacific, the same facilities relative to emigration would have been sustained, and the government of Walker strengthened and consolidated. All these advantages and conveniences Walker throws away to aid a few personal friends in their stock jobbing ope- rations. This active and powerful company he seeks to destroy by giving a new grant to parties who- have not the means or the intention of establishing a new through line. He kills the goose that has laid the golden egg, with the hope of raising up a richer monopoly, and in the very grant provides for @ transfer, in case of default, to those who may have the means to carry out its objects. Not satisfied with enjoying the Transit Company's property, which would force a settlement of all claims, just or unjust, he goes further, and annuls ite charter and attempts by a stroke of the pen to annihilate the millions of dollars which American citizens in good faith have invested in the enterprise. If such acts areencouraged and upheld there is an ond to the employment of American capital in foreign works of internal improvement.
