Me Nicarogua Question—Policy of the Administratim— Proposed Verit of Fndians to the Herald Office—Locat Appointments— New Wear's Receptions. ‘The poltoy-of ‘the administration with regard to late oc- ‘currenees fa'Central America, General Walker and Com- modore Poulding, which I foreshadowed in 4 latter to the Thenixpe few days ago, is explained in the tenting edito- via} of yesterday's Union, Evidently Commodore Pauld- tng hus misunderstood and exceeded his instructions tn | fe, and put into thls port to making arrests on a foreign soil, but the government is dispored to excuse the error as far as possible on account ef ube motive. It is believed here by men best informed about such matters, that wr General Walker attempt totnnd again zt Greytown, the British naval authorities, taking the cue from and following the example of our own government, will arrest him ehould he escape the United ‘States vessels of war. The clouds which gathered thick end ‘black among Southern members of Congress and ne, threatening a st8rm when the news first ar- Waiker’s arrest, are dispersing, less portentons.” Many of those in their declamation, seeing of the administration wo the = steady oquire thai legitimate control, by treaties of friendship and protection, over the Isthmus routes and the countries of Central America, which belongs to us as the great power on this continent, and as being so essential to our eommerce with and travel to and from California, now policy begin to manifest less sympathy with the filibusters.’ The Americanization of that part of the worl, in this sense, is the object alike of our government and of the flibxsters, Dut they differ in the means of dome it. It may not be generally known, but it i « fact, that in the late ditheulty New Granada we could easily have obtained absolute pecan of the dJathmus of Panama, but it was not deemed good policy have distant possessions or colo. gies, and better for our country and our future as a great ‘uatien'to have control by treaties of friendship and pro- tecuon. In pursuing this policy the present admifiistra. ton, Lappreend, will avoid the errors of its predecessors tm making treaties with England or any other great Euro pean power for a joint prowction over the neighboring ‘Raates of this continent, or over any part of their territo- ries. The interests are not equal, and the experience of “entangling alliances’ has taught us to make an American peiicy for America. This is a policy the Hanarp has long aivocated, and which, it appears, the prevent administra teen i desirous of inaugurating and following. There is but little in the way of “items” or small news Boating about, and I have ot the faculty, like many of my iulustrious cotemporaries who ‘‘write for the papers,” for manufacturing news. You are so rigid in your re- quirementof facte, Mr. Filitar, or 1 migtt occasionally ‘exsay to give you & “sensation” thought of the President, ora guess at what might be going on inside cabinet coun- cisor secret conclaves while 1 might be standing out- side.

The next day, Honora informed her entemianns Ma- dame Auderly, of Godfrey’s presence in the neighborhood, and the ola lady sent her oniy brother, Colonel Shannon, to fetch him to Pindmont. Godfrey accepted the invita- tion. On his arrival, he found that General Sterne, Governor elect Virginia, and his son, had just taken up their quarters, for several days, with Madame heey and the old lady, in his honor, at once sent off cards of in? vitation to rome Sgpeerag, op obo tw visit her that evening. When tea was over, pany adjourned to the drawing room, where, soon after, the guests itivited for the evening joined them. First came Father Men we the parish priest of St. Andrew’s church, at Cross! 5 wae next arrivals were Mr. and Mrs. Willoughby, and (eine. Immediately after them came Dr. and Mrs. Henry Hawe —the doctor, aman of great fashion and elegance; the lady, a delicate, pensive woman, with a sort of sad, moon. light face, beaming sottly out between ber fleecy Hocks of jet. And, last of all, to the sstonishment of everybody,came old Hugh Hawe, Who had been invited as @ matter of courtesy, and Was not in the least degree expected to make his appearance. Hecame notalone. On bis arm he brought young girl, uninvited, but whom, with grave courtesy, he pre sented to his hostess as Agnes Darke, the daughter oe a deceased frient, and now his ward, who had arrived only that morning, and whom, presuming on Madame Auder- a well known kindness, he had ventured to present to her. Madanle Auderly, a reader of faces, was certainly at- tracted towards her; and, after a little talk, that confirm. ed her first favorable impressions, she took the hand of the orphan girl and conducted her to the group formed by } the Misses Anderly, Mr. Sterne, Mr. Heine, Mr, Dalanie and Honora Paule, Under the anspices of Miss Rose Auderly they were just about to form what she called a Sybil’s Circle, for which purpose Messrs. Heine and Sterne were despatched to bring forward a round table. Miss Rose went to a cavi- net to seek the “Sybil’s Leaves,” which she preseutly progluced. All then seated themselves around the table. A Gead silence reigned. Rose shuffled the cards, turned them with their faces down, and then, addressing her right haad neighbor, Mr. Sterne, in a low voice, she de- manded— “What would you with the Sybil?” “T would know the future partoer of my life formal answer. “Draw!” The young man hesitated for a while, smiled, and re- i all those cards that were neares' himself, pat bis \! under the pack, and withdrew the lowest one. “Read!” he said, extending the card to the Sybil. “Hear?” she ex: ed ma «A widow, beautiful as light, ‘Twill be your lot to wea— With a rich Jointare, which shall pour Its blessings on your head.’ ’” There was a general clapping of hands, and shouts of laughter. it was now Miss Jessie’s turn to teat her fate.
