The opposition to the Sandwich Islands treaty still continues on the part of Southern Senators. It is thought a reci procity treaty with these islands will soon be nego tated. Our correspondent at Harrisburg states that the Legislature of Pennsylvania is nearly overran with applications for charters for new banks. The Senate Committee reported favor:))!y on a petition to create a bank in*Philadelphis wish a capital of three mil- lion dollars. The triends of a free banking system were also active, and advocated a plan similar to that which obtains in this State.

The steamebip Asia, which lett Liverpool on the ‘7th inst, arrived at this port early yesterday morn- img. The news ie seven days later and very inte- resting. In England, the British Parliament was @pened by royal commission on the 3d instant. Her Majesty's speech treated the different subjects of home reform agitated by the people during the re- ees very lightly, but referred at some length to the foreign policy of the Cabinet. Her late difficaities with the United States and their happy adjustment, the Dallis-Clarendon treaty, the wars with China,and Persix, the settlement of the RassoDanubian trouble, end the diplomatic course pursued during the Swiss and Neapolitan imbroglios now ended, are all alluded te by the Queen. During the debates on ‘the addrest, both in the Lords aud Commons, joy was «xpressed at the disappearance of the royal “phantom” which hitherto existed on the Mosquito ‘Territory, and hopes were expressed that the pro- gress of the Honduras railway would tend to efface ny jealousy hitherto felt by England, with respect to the advance of other nations in that quar- fer. Much good was augured from the working of the DallasClarendon treaty, provided it were sanctioned by the Senate of the United States The action of the United States naval force io China was micutioned in terms of respect, and a gene ral hope was expressed that the good feelings now existing between our government and that of Eng- jand, would be perpetuated.

We announced a few days since that a new treaty had been made by Mr. Forsyth, our Min- ister in Mexico, with that government, which was denied by ome of those journals who insist upon being practical know nothings, just as they de- nied the negotiation of the Gadsden treaty some time ego, when we announced that fact. We have Mexico ia London represent that Mr. Forsyth, the United States Minister, had treated both the gov- ernment of the repuolic and the dislomatic corps with mach hauteur and reserve. Denmark was aboat to conclude a new treaty with the Koropean Powers, having for its object the speedy redemption of the Sound Dues The Rasw-Turkich frontier question was at an end. It is now certain that Paris will be the seat of the Confere about Nen- ehetel. It was not England but Aw which had ejected to it. Spain and the Neapolitan Kingdom were much agiteted.

Our letest advices from San Jusn del Norte are to the 12th, San Jaan de! Sur to the <th, and Rivas to the 3d inst. General Castilla, the actual H'resident of Pern, has issved a proclamation again+t w cuano contract for Spain, which is reported to have been made by General Vivanco, the leader of the existing revolu tion im crn. The measures that President Castilla has edopted, in ihe suspension of payments on the Peruvian bonds, bas been received vith great dis- taste in London, and the Morning Chronicle of the 3d instant publishes the counter proclamatioa of Vivanoo, the sulstance of which we gave some weeks ago. The Chronicle thinks if Vivanco acts ap to the general views of justice enun»viated in hie tumaiferto, the London bondbolders will have no cause to complain. It was stated in diplomatic cir cles in Lima, just previous to the departare of the Jost inal! from there, thet the British and French Charges were daily pressing the subject of the fordign ¢«\t upon the government, and that the Perevian ports would be Nockaded in February for the purpose of cotmapeliing Castilla to resume pay- ments Upon it.

The practical know nothing journals insist upon it, that Mr. Marey knew nothing of this treaty, or of any in- structions to make it. Of course he did not. We have learn long since that the State Depart ment never knows anything of what is going on in Mexico. It knew nothing when Trist made his ty of peace, for he did that on his own hook. It knew nothing when Gadsden bonght the Mesilla valley, for that was done under vate instructions from Jeff. Davie, who made a tool of Marey on that as he has on many other o.casions, It knows nothing of the present trea- ty: but the treaty is made, although Marcy did not know anything of it. It Is only a part of the breaking up of Mexico thot old fogy politicians like Marcy are not alive to. Her present condition is of the same cha- tucter. The liberal party now in the ascendant there, has split into two factions, in the face of civil disturbances which, in its united pow- er, it is not wholly able to extinguish. The governwent of Comonfort has shown itself strong only to pull down, and hae not had the wiedom to initiate thore reforms in administra tive policy which the country imperiously re- quires. Inetead of icetituting a new fiscal system, and reforming as far es possible the ad- ministration of justice in her courts-—which are the two cancers that are devouring her recourse bas been had to the old panacea, and months of valuable time bave been spent in tinkering a vew constitation. it is true that great reforms beve been institu- ted In relation to the vast possosions of the church, but there reforms are necessarily of élow srowth for good, while the evil they have pro- duced has been eudden and widespread. Re- Ucliion has sprung up on every side; bat general as these movements have bern, they have not taken a permanent character only from the want of some strong name around which to centre, Whether etch a name fs likely to be presomted to thom time will oon tell, Without any organized system of revenue the present goverument finds iteclf in sad straits for want of resources, and having neglected to estab- oe New gold tields had been found eveale Gold was wortu Tus.

As usual, the document is meagre in the extreme and throws no new light on the questions to which it refera, With regard to the only question in which wehave a direc: interest, the Central American difficulty, it refers briefly to the fact that her Majesty has “been en- gaged in negotiations with the government of the United States, and also with the government of Honduras, which she trusts will be successful in removing all cause of misunderstanding with reepect to Central America.” Nor did the debate which followed supply the deficiency. Asueaal, it appears to have been a playin) giadiatorial contest between the mem- bers of the government, Lords Clarendon and Palmerston, on one side, and the leaders of the opposition, Lord Derby and Mr. Disraeli on the other; though the speeches are sometimes funny, they are not particularly striking, and reveal no novelties. The opposition seems to have gained rome elight advantage over the government by putting the case—suppose the United States re. fuse to ratify the treaty, shall we not have given away Ruatan, withont equivalent? But Lord Clarendon met this by assuring the lords that the United States had nothing to do with the cession of Ruatan; that it had been given to Honduras to enable that State to build an inter oceanic rail- way. And so the matter rested. We are inclined to believe that the Derby party will make a good deal more of this sub- ject when the news reaches Parliament that the treaty has perhaps been killed in the Senate. For, Lord Clarendon may say what he likes, but the general British idea undoubtedly was that England was giving up Ruatan as u bonas to the United States fora friendly adjustment of the Central American dispute, such as the Claren- don-Dallas treaty contained; and it will appear in England as though we had got our reward and then refused to fulfil our part of the bargain. We do not say that this is so, of course; bat this is the light in which the transaction is likely to be viewed in England. It may need something more than pleasantries, or vague allusions to railways in Honduras to satiefy the British peo ple that the Palmerston government has not been tricked by Mr. Dallas. In this view of the sub ject, the task of the incoming administration appears likely to be arduous. If Mr. Buchanan has to eettle the long pending dispute about Cen- tral America with a British government im preered, on the one hand, with the notion that i: has just been overreached, and, on the other, alarmed by the filibustering reminiscences with which Mr. Buchanan’s name may at one time have been connected, he may not find it as easy to adjust asit lately appeared. The English cergainly seem sincerely enxious to meet us on terms that shal! be fair and honorable to both nations. Bat it must not be supposed that they are any freer from partion and prejudice than other nations. We learn from our London correspondent that the British government have sent to Nicaragua Mr. Oliphant, a young gentleman who was at one time a secretary of Lord Elgin in Canada, aud who eubsequently cerved under Omer Pacha, in the Russian war. We give elsewhere one of hi letters on the war in Central America, England it seems, all reports to the contrary notwithstand ing, injands to steer clear of all the local dis putes between Costa Ricans and Nicaraguans, Americans of the north and Americans of the centre, and simply to acknowledge whatever government appears on reliable evidence to be a government de facio, This ecnslble policy is the only one which she could pursue without doing mischief. That it will prove at least a negative help to Walker is pretty certain; the mongrels oi the coast have all along been comforted in their distresees and confirmed in their hostility to Walk- er’s brave little band by the confident expecta tion that at no distant day the English would land @ party of troops and hang Walker to a tree. They wil! now learn—at least such of them as possess capacity to learn anything—that ir Walker holds his own and maintains himself a ehort while longer in Nicaragua, the English will recognire bim, and be as forward as this or any other country to make treaties of peace and coin- merce with him, leaving the Spaniards to the natural fruits of their disorderly and incapable conduct. The intelligence is likely to prowuce a dawping effect upon the chivalry of Costa Hica, and their filibustering allies. We are not done with this Central Anwrican matter, nor does the end seem near. Appear ances on all sides indicate that Mr. Bachini will not rest on a bed of roses. ‘pone of the western districts of Mexico. In connection with this we must not forget Santa Apvna’s own protest, which we published a short time since. . The pronunciamiento of Blancarte is not yet certain, but he was Santa Anna’s Gove- nor of Lower California; he has never reoog- niced the present government or been deposed; and be has lately landed with all his forces— tome four hundred men—at epic, ostensibly be- cause he bad no provisions. ‘There is another element in these Mexican combinations to which we have aliuded months 9go. This is the aid profferred by the filibusters to the Mexican government when Spain seemed to be preparing an expedition at Havana last eummer. How far these negotiations between Gen, Comonfort and the filibusters may have gone is not known; but it is very certain that they are ready to engage, with an abundaace ot men apd munitions of war, im a descent upon Cuba from Vera Cruz and Tampico, Ali that is needed is to supply the present government of Mexico with money and its purpose will seon be accomplished, Now, money we have in abundauce, and it would be a relief to the Treasury to get rid of a few millions, There is no possible reacon why Mr. Buchanan’s government shoald not ratify the new treaty and pay out the gold. Suck a course would settle all these Cen- tral American and Cuban questiens in a twelve- month. We could give Mexico filibusters, rifles, powder and ships enough to take Cuba at once, aud then all the little questions that now disturb our relations in those regions would follow the grcat one, This would be a practical application of the Ostend manifesto little expected by the powers that look upon it with dislike. Nous verrons, a8 father Ritchie used to say. Tur Late DeveLorements or ConGresstonaL Cornurtions.— We have received all the reports submitted by the select committee of the “House, “oppointed to investigate certain alleged corrupt combinations of members of Congress,” making a printed pamphlet of 209 pages, exclusive of the index. This pamphlet, in addition to the testi- mony which we have already published, embraces the report of Mr. H. Winter Davis, of Maryland, of the committee on the case of Hon. W. A. Gil- bert, of New York; the report of Mr. Davis on the case of the Hon. W. W. Welch, of Connecti- cut; the report of Mr. Ritchie, of Pennsylvania, on the case of the Hon. Francis S. Edwards, of New York; the report of Mr. Warner, of Georgia on the case of the Hon. O. B. Matteson, of New York; a minority report on all these cases in the lump, and the general report on lobby corrup- tions submitted by Mr. Kelsey, of New York, chairman of the committee. The report in each of the cases of the four membere of Congress indicated, concludes with a resolution recommending the expulsion of the ac- cused member, as having been proved guilty of tampering with the briberies and corruptions of the lobby, and is signed, in each case, by Mesara Orr, Davis, Ritchie and Warner, of the commit- | _ tee; the minority report, in behalf of the indicted members, being supported by the chairman, Mr. Kelsey, of New York, “sofitary and alone.” The report, eubmitted by Mr. Kelsey, concludes with the resolution hat James W. Simonton (ihe correspond- ent of the New York Daily Times) be ex- pelled from the floor of the House as a reporter, and is unanimously signed by the Committee These several reports we shall publish in full as soon as porsible; our available colamns, for the prerent, being occupied with the details of the world-embracing news brought in by the Euro- pean and Nicaraguan steamers. The general minority report of Mr. Kelsey rests upon the legal technicality that, “ accord- ing to the rules of this House and Parliamentary law, the Committee had no power to institate proceedings against any member of this body under the resolution by which this Committee was appointed.” Among the special pleadings of the accused members in defence, there is a letter to the Committee from Hon. O. B. Matteson, which we also propose to publish at the first opportunity. The peculiar line of defence set up by this gontle- man is, that his alleged observations and over- tures concerning the lobby were either in the way of a joke or that they really amounted to nothing at all. He admits the truth of the testi- mony against him; but pleads eu)stantially that it ie an inoffensive mole hill enlarged into a mountain through the powerful magnifying glasece of the Committee. Thus much for the present. The members ar- raigned and reported for expulsion are before the House. We presume that the Monse will act fairly and squarely upon the resolutions, yea or nay. The country will watch the result with deep interest, for very much of the cance of our republican form of government depends upon the purification of Congress, Latest rrom Waratiaxn—Tae Cxvrnar American Qvestion.—Our special letter from Lancaster, in another column, corroborates the prevailing reports of the last few days concern- ing Mr. Buchanan’s Cabinet. General Cass and Mr. Cobb appear to be definitely decided upon; while the other individuals mentioned as the next thing to Cabinet certainties remain still to have their reepective positions assigned them. It is an important fact that Mr. Buchanan has uttered no opinion concerning the merite or de- merits of the DullaeClarendon treaty, now de- pending upon the action of the Senate for its final ratification, aud hanging, as it seems, like Mahomet's coffin, through some iavisible agency, between heaven and earth. Meantime the news from England of the prevailing confidence in all departments of the British goverument of the rack treaty, will be apt to make no small impreseion both ot Wheatland and Waabington. The late alleged Aecla- Tue News rom Nicanaata.—The account. from Nicaragua, received on Saturday by the Tennessee, show that the allied troops, now ander the command of Gen. Canas, are actively carry ing out the plan of operations which we ao nounced a month since had been arranged by the Costa Ricans. Their whole available force has been moved down to Rivas, and even to Virgin Bay on the lake shore; leaving, however, the route op the other hand, from Rivas to Sau Jawa dei Sar, open to Walker. His position im Rivas seems to Ve rapidly assuming the same form as that he held in Granada before its destruction, and two attacks on the enemy, made on the 26th and 24th of January, were not successful, Hen. ningsen being obliged to return to Rivas. Tie headquarters of Cannas are said to be at San Jorge, three miles from Rivas, which is coming to pretty close quarters. Should Walker not )) able to drive him from there ina rhort time, he will bave to abandon Rivas and covceatrate all his strength at San Juan del Sur. In the meantime Col. Lockridge is gallantly workirg his way up the San Juan river, having already taken the strong Costa Rican fort at the mouth ef the Serapiqul, and hopes soon to be at Castillo rapids, if not at Fort San Carlos, near he lake outlet. The question of Walker's final overthrgw probably bangs upon his being able to hold oat untii Lockridge can join him. But this junction muet take place within a short time, or t will not take place at all. The treaty of ponce between our New York Commodores changes materially the position of Lockridge toward Walker, and when the new Governor General, to be rent out by Garrison and Vanderbilt, arrives ad Greytown, be will be as desirous of getting rid of Walker and Menningsen as the two Com- modores here have been to get rid of Commodore Low. He bas been shut out from the new tran- sit route arrangement and Nicaragua directory tet up bere, and his General must go too, Whatever events may betide Walker, he seems to have been excluded from the new government formed for Nicaragna, while a part of his filibus- tere, with all the new comers it can obtain, is to establish a beticr order of things there. This government will be recognised by Costa Rica rations ot Gencral Case in the discussion of the subject, and in behalf of a pacific pelicy towards England, would appear also to have re- moved the old General’s stumbling block of the last twenty yeare, of “inevitable war.’ Thon again, the derpatch by the English government of a diplomatic agent to ascortain and recognise the government de facto of Nicaragua, ie a good ign, and should encourage our rival steamboat Commodores to unite all their resources and energice in a grand coup div for Welker with- | ont further delay. | It would be very interesting to find our never- failing champion of “inevitable war” against John Bull, the bead and front of a coneiliating and pacific policy under Mr. Buchanan—it would be very acceptable to the country thus to secure Cicn, Cass as the head of the peace movement in the Cobinct, against euch disturbers of the pablic peace and the peace of the party as Mr. Douglas, Jeffirson Davis, and other fire-eaters and filibas tere in the new Senate.

LxaisLarion ror THs Crry at ALBANY.—The various bills concoeted at the Astor House by the leaders of the republican party, and now be- fore the Legislature, have assumed several shapes; but they all tend to the same point—the disor- ganization ot the city government. They are now sleeping on the table, where they will pro- bably lie till the end of the session. It is pro- bable, however, that some movement will b> made to resuscitate them, in order to take away from the people of this city the right of electing their own rulers, and give the control of the city to persons eppointed by the Governor and the Senate, We hear that a fund of sixty or cighty thousand dollars has been suabecribed by some of the confederates in this city, and that it is pur- Posed to buy the passage of some of these bills by the came corrupt means which have been ex- posed by the Congressional Investigating Com- mittce at Washington. It will be remembered that a)l these bills propose to disfranchise the People of this city, and to levy twenty millions upon the taxpayers, to be used for political capi- tal and the support of hungry politictans from Albany. The bills must not pass, Tammany Trovsies.—Tammany is again in nouble, and the difficulty is one of the most seri- ous that the venerable Sachems have ever expe- rienced. The regular General Committee elected last year bas been shut out of Tammany by the Dolters, who are headed by Savage. From pre- vent appearances there will be a life and death strnggle between the regulars and the recusante, It is all intended to influence the incoming a4- ministration upon the question of the apoila, Its effect may be, however, so far to disgust Mr. Bu- cbanan that he will ignore the existence of both factions—refuse to appoint their candidates, and fill the federal offices of this city with quiet, con- tervative men, who have had no part or lot io the Tammany rowe.
