Several Wars Finished and Closed Up—Satixfaction at the Scizure of Walker—Prospects of the Yrissarri Treaty— Webster and Allen’s Popularity—No. 5 Bowling Green in the Ascendant—Constitution Making at Managua, dice Since my last many great events have happened. We have bad war witb Costa Rica, war against the flibusters, cwar about the Transit. Various parties have been repre- sented bere. The well beloved GenerakCanas, as repre: sentative of Costa Rica, has made a treaty of peace that has shown his weil known impartiality; be has acknow- ledged the intrusions of Costa Rica into Nicaragua, and at the same time done the best to make dirty water clean. The arrival of Waiker’s party has no doubt contributed largely to this settlement, although, generally speaking, this controversy bas Been extremely beneficial to Nica- regua, because it bas still more affirmed the union of the “two different political parties. Everybody is happy and thankful for the interference on ‘the part of the present administration in Washington, not understanding that the proposed treaty of protection is an accessory step to annexation. Mr. Gabrie! Lacayo has come back with the despatches from Mr. Yrisarrijthe representative of the republic of Nicaragua. The government here is expecting the fulfilment of the said Yriser: grant, and woe to them if they don’t keep up Ww » point. The commercial community here is much opposed to the contract, and the joverpment would have closed negotiations with Mr. W. EC Webster, representative of Commodore Vanderbilt, had the bands of the government not been tied up by their worthy Minister. Mr. Webster, who has been so much calumuhiated in the papers, and who, notwithstand- ing all these calumnies, bas been and is at present tho representative of the princes of enterprise of the United sStates, bas, through well authorized documents and the presence of Mr. Alien, Vanderbilt's Peete ' Dot ouly wiped out the prepossession that rally ‘was formed “e him, oat ven gained many friends; and bad not the government alreagy made a couiract, of which ‘almost everybody is dearly worry, he would have suc- ceeded, although his chances are not over yet, by far. He is stilt hard at work ~ oe ua, because there are cer- tain things in regard to the new compa: quite certain. Mr. Atien has protested in the name of the Accessory Transit Company ¢ copy of which I enciose), and once the ice broken, I have no doubt that Webster, with his well known smartness, will be able to bring the Transit ship safely into the harbor of No. 5 Bowling Green. The immense activity he has shown, working against such powerful oppotiion as the government, ite tative end the catumaies of the press in the United States, and notwithatanding to overcome ali those obstacles, is amatter ‘that has astonished aimost everybody. If he should yet succeed (which is pot unlikely at all) in getting the transit for the Suamanters, it will be astapeodous triumph for him, and bis reputation will stand higher, and all the calumnies against bim will only have served to raise him in the eyes of the public.

Things and foolings have mightily changed since then. From amongst the ruins of this once metropolitan city of Central America I deapatch this letter, Granada, indeod, presenta, with her demolished houses and masses of ruined citizens, a con- summate pictare of misery and distress. Walkor, in ‘burning and in the destruction of Granada has earned a notoriety which for ages to come the historian will chronicle with infamy and horror. The name of Alaric, the Goth, will be considered the of moderation and humanity when com- pared with that of William Walker, the gray-eyed demon of murder and rapine. If the admirers of Walker could only bebold the great amount of misfortune and wretched- ness be and his minions have inflicted upon a once tolera- bly happy peoplo—if they could only behold Guadalupe— the holy edifice in which Henningsen mado his gallant men, and subserve miserable am- bition and despotic sway and vanity of William Walker— if his admirers could only see the bleaching bones of though deluded american citi. zens in the suburbs of Granada —hear the tales of horror the position the natives gave him —had he worked with trae and steady zeal to American. ize Nicaragua—had be nursed and reverenced the priact- ples which gave him his hold at one period on the affeo- ‘ons of the democratic party in the State—had he not perniciously insisted wu destroying all rules of right and justice—severed himself and party, by committing acts of the most inhuman and cruel cl i friend left in the State.

Loverheard him one day, when he was brim full, discues on the public place at Rivas the question of the in- ternational law. It is well, however, to let your readers know that Mr. Jones was waddling at the timeas a duck doce in « gutter, and turning up bis eyes the fashion of that biped in a thunder storm. He disputes the chro- nicled opinicn thas Vattel is any Lease ng Ma all. Since Monroe, said Mr. Jones, the statesmen in Washington had all been aficat on the true principle of the rights of na- tiopal interference. Ho was for no milk and water policy in Central America. If the Slibusters could not hold Ni caragua, be would see that Brother Jovathan did. He would immediately éstablish a new theory of national law. No further cardinal mistakes should be made.

Space and time will not allow me to record the manifold scenes of ridicule which the special Minister from Wash- ington has been enacting since his arrival in the country —tfrom being confined in the calaboose, threatening war to all Central America, losing bis despatch, left for three days on the Lake of Nicaragua in a bungo, wrapped up in the flag of the “stare and stripes’’—Mr. Jones has been the Sancho Panza for the last three months in Contra) America The several Richmon4e of the Transit route negotiations have congregated at Managua. The fight there is waxing hot and strong. Mesers. D. B. Allen and W. R. C. Web: ster bayve becn hard at work on behalf of Commodore Vanderbilt forthe last three weeks. The stumbling block in their way has been the grart given to H. G. Stebbins; but as the Vanderbilt party has the entire country in their favor, from President Martinez downwards, it is more than probable that the Commodore will still be the winning borse. We all know here that Messrs. Stebbins and White represent no wealth; and as Master Joe is tho- roughly well bated in Nicaragua, I am inclined to believe Webster and Allen will yet upset Stebbins’ and White's apple cart. General Canas is now at Managua, and if report speaks the truth, he is working hard in favor of Webster. Mr. Allen, 1 am told, is en route for Costa Rica, while Webster remains like beeswax at Nicaragua. ‘The river and lake boats bave been sold or transferred by Costa Rica to Messrs. Webster and Allen, of course for Varderbilt. This must block,the other parties’ claim. Mr. Allen bas entered a very able protest on behalf of the Acceseory Transit Company, it has been widely circu- lated, and the wiser heads in Nicaragua have provounced in favor of said protest. So far as I can judge, I honestly believe our government here must revoke all existing grants, the Stebbins and White’sjincluded, and issue an entirely new one. This is President Martinez’s opinion, aud will be, in my opinion, the order of the day. We look for the Transit route being still closed for some monthe to come. A messenger arrived bere on the 26th ult. with des- patches and the treaty made by Mr. Yrissarri at Washing- ton. Owing to the difficulties surrounding the Transit, cur government has taken no action thereou, and I am in- formed an the best official authority, that ail action on the treaty will be suspended till the arrival here of the ant cipated Ministers from the Court of St. James, Wash in top and Paris. CIRCULAR FROM THE COSTA RICA MINIS- TERS IN NICARAGUA TO THE GOVERN- MENTS OF SALVADOR, HONDURAS AND GUATEMALA. } ‘Lxoation or Cowra Rica. skarm NicaRacva, Rivas, Dec. 20, 1851 ‘The undersigned Ministers, Plenipotentiary and Envoys Extraoroinary of the government of Costa near that of Nicaragua, have the honor to announce to you, that on the 6th instant they signed a convention entered into with the General Presicent of the republic, Don Tomas Marti- nez, which bas for its result the cessation of the threaten. ing state which wu ly Nicaragua and Costs Rica bad assumed; in thie convention the fortress of Castillo Viejo and Point Tortuga have been retarned, all in confor. mity with the instructions we have received from our go- vernment . As the State of Nicaragua with premature steps caused notices to be circulated to the other Central American go- vernments which, berides heing highly unfounded, have made the Costa Rica le appear extremely ungrateful, it is indispensable for this ¢gation to set forward that which will make this matter cicar. It is notorious and true, Senor Minister, that this un- bappy republic, from internal troubles, not oniy had lost its political existence, as the filibusters di of ite fate, but it affected intimately the social life of the Central American States, and it is notorious also that on giving Wee oa the two to ‘iam on October, 1855, the , Don Poneiano Corral, in an offi! cial note of the same ¢ate, directed to the commander of the forts on the river, delivered them to Walker; in this state you kaow Nicaragua continued without = hope of resuscitation until the government of Central America undertook, by means of war, to give a new life to the un- fortunate republic, at the same time that each would thus secure its own preservation. Costa Rica took the lead, commencing an honorable war against the filibuster, tho other States followed ber lin@of action for the purpose of securipg the laudable object; but if it is well known that the adventurer was checked in his course by the re. postet actions fought against him, it is also well nown that nothing could havo terminated tho series of misfortunes if a movement on the San Juan river bad not been carried out to prevent the introduction of the numerous supplies of all kinda tho bandit received; the government of Costa Rica feeling the necessity, abd ready to carry out the grand principle it had laid down of procuring, by every means, the destruc: tion of fliibasteriem, effected the movement through fo reste and roads, such as only the courage of a true soldier could overcome. We took the steamers on the 24th of December last year; without even resting the Costa Rica forces, we marched on the forts of Castillo Viego and San Carlos to retake them from the filibusters, (fortrosses, sir, which, as we have said were given up ‘by tho Nicara! ‘uane themselves to the common enemy of our tace,) thus crowning with suocess so important an undertaking, which gave life again to Central America. It is therefore undoubtable that the triamph of Costa Rica on the river und Inke prepared that which was followed by the sus- pension of the filibueters who oppressed Nicaragua; and, indeed, what was the situation of that country when the forces of Costa Rica penetrated to Granada in the steam- ers? It is painful to say it, the most complete dejection end most lamentable disunion between its chiefs, for which reason the allied forces were reduced to small fractions, serving as a jest for the enem: But, if it is true that the allied army ound themsetves at the time to which we allude in a most ons Con dition, and lost therefore all of triumphing, it is also @ fact that the glorious undertaking of Costa Rica encou- raged the eaid army, and induced them to make a new effort. This enter ia the more praise’ , inaa- much as it was carried into effect by the dint of and valor. After the end of the national war it waa iy believed, as it was natural to expect, that cua, would return to its former state, and make the people chose their authorities, in order to give security to Nicaraguan as well ae the other Central American republics , ‘but it turned ont to the contrary. It might be said that for want of action the country waa left in a state of com- plete disorganization up tg the 9th of November last, when the Constituent Assembly brought up a new order of oun fn such a state of things, what confidence could Rica place in the Nicaraguan people? What secu- rity could such a government give to the people of Ngca- Tagua, iT unnoticed the many racrifices which they endu Rica bave feared that, through neglect, that high- way of the world, as it may be called, would again be given up to the enemy?

Coroners’ Inquests. THE SVICIDEIN THE LAFAYETTE PISTOL SHOOTING GALLERY. In yesterday's Hxnatp we announced the fact of a young man haying committed suicide at the Lafayette pistol rhooting gallery, No. 587 Broadway. Since then the body bas been identified as that of Lewis Beardsley, a nephew of Judge Beardsley, of Western New York. Tho deceased it appeared was a married man holding an office at Madison, Wisconsin, under the Secretary of State. About three weeks ago he came to New York on some business matters, and put Ct the Metropolitan Hotel. Since his arrival in this city his friends noticed that there was a peculiar strangeness about his manner, and hence they wa'ched him closely. On Tuesday deceasod complained of being ill, and Bept his bed until seven o'clock in tho evening, when he arose and left the hotel. About nine o'clock he entered the Lafayette shooting gallery appa- rently In a sound condition of mind, and proceeded to firo around of eight shots at the target. He then sat down ou a sofa for afew moments, when he arose suddenly, and saying he wanted to try & few more shots, took the pistol in bis hands, Tho first shot was directed at tho target, butthe second one—alas! was aimed at his head and the desire of the suicide was accomplished. The ball entered the orbit of the right eye and lodged in the brain, producing almost instant death. Coroner Perry held an | Anquest upon the body of deceased, when tho following | evidence was elicited — William F, Otington being duly sworn, sayn—I was last ovening at Lafayette Hall, in the pistol gallery, about o'clock; the deceased came in and examined a ‘pair of | pistols. and asked the lola; he took them and fired a round of eight shots, and | pai for it; be then sat down for tmif an hour, when he got up and said be would try afew more shots; he com. | menced firing at the target, at which he fired one shot; I then saw him turn the pistol so as to point it at bis head, when ho fired, and immediately fell as if dead; there were | but two persons in the room at the time, the one that hag | charge of the gallery and myself. Joweph W. Stotaon being aworn, says—I have charge of | the platol gallery in Lafayette Hall; I have hoard the state. | ment of the preceding witness regarding the shooting of | deceased; Tconcur in his statement; {understand from | G others that the was seen to act strangely pro- | ‘vious to going into the gallery. ae .

Howard A. Baldwin, policeman, of the Eighth ward, de. | posed as follows :—About 134 o'clock last night I received notice that a man had shot himself at the Lafayette shoot- ing gallery; I d to the place with the proprietor; | the place Was looked up; some three persons were around | the body of deceased, #bo lay dead on the sofa; there was the mark of a pistol shet in his head, which peno- ‘tratec the orbit of the eye; I searched his , and had bis body removed to the station house tore was 10 yauch ‘or money on his porson at the time 1 searched tho The jury in this cage rendored a verdict of “death by suicide, by shooting himself, while laboring under a do- rangement of mind.” The deceased was twenty-eight years of age, and was a native of this State.
