Wis clearly seen here by persons who are rateed above petty political feelings, or etill pettier national Prejudices, ‘that the best hope for the cause of commerce, civilization ‘and freedom in Central America is through General ‘Walker; and as Lord Clarendon said to me, every seusibie Englichinan must desire to see the miserablo savages who Abave so long kept that region a wilderness wiped out, and replaced by law abiding, energetic, industrious men.

British Policy in Central Asta. mer (Feb. 23) Correspondence of London Times.) ‘he interview between Sir John Lawrence and Dost Ma- homed still forms the chief topic of interest in the Punjab. ‘The rexult of that interview has not been formally an- nounced, but the by ond struck was, I believe, nothing more nor less than this:—Dost Mahomed undertakes to fight the battle with Persia in Herat and Afighanistan, and we undertake to furnish bim with £120,000 per annum so Jong as the war lasty. Part of the subsidy in whe first instance is to consist of muskets and other munitions of war. Three English officers, the two Lamsdens and Dr. Coxe go to Afighanistan to watch the distribution of the subsidy—in other words, to see that we get our money’s worth. Of course, this arrangement is the subject of very severe criticism. It is said that with an embarrassed exchequer. we are deliberately throwing away twelve lacs a year on an ally whose ca- pe ly to serve us, if honest, is doubtful, and on whose onesty, if once Opposed to his interest, no one professes to depend. We are not only wasting the money—we are sowing dragons’ teeth; putting arms into the hands of those who never can be real fi and who have been, ly cnemies. If we are to ourselver—pot pay others to do itill; which means, let us send @ British force into Atfguanistan, or wherever else { events may lead.

Denn ov A WOMAN UNDER SusPICOUs CiRCUMErANCRS—A Moxper, Pernars.—A few days vince a certificate was pre- sented at the City Inspector's office, signed by a party who purported to be a doctor, stating that Mrs. Mary MeGovorn, tlement at the Cape, containing in all perhaps two thousand | of 15 Cannon street, died of epilepsy; but suspicion was inhabitants. These, more especially, have been giving trouble to the colonists. In case of war with any of the neighboring tribes they could not be relied upon as friends, and from their position were likely to be very dangerous as enemies. For some time back Governor Drayton bad received {utimations that an insurrection was privately talked of among them, and about two months tince he ob- tained positive information that the rising was arranged, the time set, and the object nothing less than the total ex- termination of the colonists by fire and murder. He im- mediately called upon the chief, Yellow Will, and the head men of the tribe to have @ palaver, which, according to custom, was held. The erpor accused them of the plot, the truth of which they partially conceded. In a day or two another palaver was called by Governor Drayton, in which he intended to offer the natives a rea- sonable sum for the sites of their villages, and thus paciti- cally rid the town of such troublesome and dangerous cus- tomers. The natives, however, refused to attend the pa- laver, and several similar calls were made without effect, Resolved to bring matters to a crisis, another attempt was made, and the natives threatened, in order to bring about some understanding. This too, failed, and by colonists then armed were made ages; the natives, not expect- ing an attack the colonists, were Raye tn ds and easily routed. Al! of the villages, eight or ten in mumber, were laid waste, and their inhabitants fled to the busb, burning, however, everything they met with in their retreat.

He has been addressed by the principal inorehants here in a most warm and satisfactory manner, and eleven hundred dollars was subscribed and banded to Lim, witty directions to have the same made Into @ service of plate, aa wemall tstimony of their great regard-for him as a man, And as an endorsement of his administration of affairs as her Majesty's Superintendent of the British settlement im Honduras. Mr. Seymour, his successor, arrived in the Britich brig of war Arab, afew days ago. Ho arrived late in the day, came ashore quietly, and went to the government house. The next morning he went on board, and left otthcially y under a salute from the brig and another from Fort George. At 12 o'clock that day he was sworn into offlea by the acting Chief Justice, supported by all the assistane Judges, surrounded by the Board of Magistrates, ull of tha public officers and a very large attendance of our citizen, including all of our merchants, respectable and \ntloeatial inhabitants, The next day he embarked on board of the brig Arab, and went down to Ruatan, where he was sworn inlo the office of Lieutenant Governor of the colony of the Bay Islands On his return here he wae? apain ealnted, apd entered om hig dntics as Superintendent of the settlement. His visit to Ruatan don’t seem to favor the giving up thove islands to Honduras. The treaty with Honduras and Nicaragua will be got along with if the interests of Great Britain re- quire it. Then the residents of these islands declare thas they will never, under any circumstances, be under the government or belong to the State of Honduras. ‘Then there has recently been discovered vast quarries of a euperior quality of marble. It haa been sent w New Orleans and to England, and has been pronounced by good Judges superior to Egyptian and Italian marble.

Nearly all haye bad to leave. Some have returned to the United States. Others ara stopping here and at Ruatan, waiting and hoping the excite- ent will pass over and they be allowed to return. Still more distressing accounts are in circulation trom Guatemala. It is reported that six American citizens have been shot on the Pacific coast. A number have been sens away with warning; not allowed to settld their accounts of take their effects, Three persons, named Buchanan, Vag Buren and Robert Taylor, appealed to Mr. Saynge, who hat charge of the Legation of the United Suites in Guatemala, who told them be could not do anything for them, and was fearful that he should himeelf have to leave, as there was no limit to the power of Carrera, who was very much euraged against the people of the United States. ‘These men alko report that General Victor Savallo’s en Ure army has been defeated and entirely disperse’.
