The News. Accounts from Buenos Ayres to the 2ist of Feb- ruary, received at this port yesterday, confirm in + every particular the intelligence recently published exclusively in the H»natp, of the peaceful settle. ment of our difficulties with Paraguay. Letters from our correspondents, contaifiing full particu- lars of the movements of the expedition, are given in to-day’s paper. Tate advices from Venezuela inform us that it was agreed by a treaty concluded between the Minister of Great Britain and the Minister of Fo- reign Affairs of Venezuela, to release Juan Guisep- pi, as an English subject, from imprisonment. During the late insurrection in Coro Maragas, Gui- seppi desired his name to be carried in fronton the revolutionary banners, but every one who had known his course of conduct recoiled at the propo- sition. We have news from Kingston, Jam., to the 23d ult. The British gunboat Styx returned to Kings" ton on the 19th, from a fruitless search for the missing boat of the steamer Jasseur. Not the re- motest hope was entertained of the recovery of the unfortanate individuals who composed its crew. The Styx could not get near the wreck. Our cor- respondent states that the outbreak of the labor- ers in Westmoreland county and other places— already reported in the Henaiy—is the commence- ment of a fierce war of color and race on the island. The negroes are urged on by inflammatory appeals to their power, numbers and superior po- sition over the whites,made by fanatic clergymen, both black and white, and the worst consequences may ensue. The ex-Emperor Soulouque had not visited at the government house, as it was inti- mated to him that he would be received as a pri- yute individual only. The new Ministers of Hayti to England, France and Spain were on the island, xs also 8 deputation to Governor Darling. The Uaytien troops who attended them were most miserable looking creatures, and were looked on witb sapreme contempt by the blacks who dave the honor to shoulder the muskets of Victoria ‘The passage of the Jamaica Immigration aot ia England gaye much joy to the planters. Mining reports were good, but general trade dull. Intelligence has heen received from Hayti, dated at Aux Cay d, Jagmel, Jeremie and Cape Hay- tien , and Port an Prince the 26th ult. A priest named Torracinto had presented a enlo- gistic address to President Gelfrard, and submitted his property and clerical position to him. With yegard to the paper money difficulty, a writer ad- vises merchants to exchange all small notes for large ones of $1,000 at the Treasury, the bills to be taken in payment for duties, subject to restricti Port au Prince is to be lighted at night. Three murderers were executed there on the 1th ult Coffee at Port au Prittce was in fair supply at $114.0" $115; at Cape Haytion, coffee #115 and logwood $35. American provisions could not be sold for cash at Jacmel, money was so scarce. Coffee at Jeremie $110 and logwood $60. The Legislature will probably not adjoura before Saturday, although the one hundred days allotted to the session expired on Wednesday. The pro- ceedings yesterday were important, but we have only space to refer our readers to our reports, and toa brief survey of the work of the session given in the editorial columns. The counsel of the Board of Police Commission. cers made a report yesterday respecting the deci ently rendered by the Court of Appeals in the case of the cld police force. It is understood that the counsel decides that each case must rest on its own merits—that is to say, that each member of the old police force must prosecute o suit throngh the courts. The opinion will probably be made public to-morrow. The Sickles trial passed through its tenth day yesterday, and the proceedings in some respects were of more importance and of more absorbing interest than on any day since the opening of the case. A large portion of the session of the court was occupied by the lawyers in discussing legal points relating to the admissibility of evidence. The witnesses examined testified mainly to the handkerchief signals between Mr. y and Mrs, Sickles, and it was shown that these signals had been frequently observed during a period of a couple of months. It was also shown, on the part of the defence, tliat the keys found in the pockets of Mr. Key fitted the lock of the door of the house sion ¥ in which it is alleged Mr. Key and Mre. Sickles met | clandestinely. This revelation was quite unex- pected, and created a marked sensation. ‘The trial of Henry Kamak, charged with arson in the first degree in setting fire to his premises in Chatham street, which was commenced in the General Seasions on Tuesday, was concluded yester- | day. The Jury retired at half-past two, and, as they had not agreed upon a verdict ata late hour last evening, the Recorder locked them up for the night. There not being a quorum of Councilmen pre- sent last evening when the roll was called, the Clerk adjourned the Board till Monday. The steamer Pirbol, just Wuilt for the China waters, was to have sailed on her trial trip yester- day; but, owing to the severe storm, the trip was postponed until to-day. The New York Medical College opened its spring course of lectures yesterday forenoon to a class of some fifty students, The introductory lecture of the course was delivered by Professor Carnochan on the “surgical diseases peculiar to females.” It ‘was a plain and instractive outline of the subject on which the lecturer treated. The lectures will be delivered daily till July next, when the course will be closed. The weather was quite stormy and inclement yesterday, which bad a tendency to obeck transactions in many branches of trade, The sales of cotton embraced about 1,500 bales, about 1,000 of which wore made in transitu; the market closed tamely, but without quotable change in prices, ‘The recoipts at the ports since the first of Sep- tember last havo reached about 8,320,000 bales, against 2,618,000 in 1858, 2,678,000 in 1867 and 2,998,000 in 1656. The total exports bave been 2,065,000, against 1,580,000 in 1868, 1,704,00) in 1857 and 2,031,000 in 1866, The stock in handembraces 772,00 bales, against 700,000 in 1858, 490,000 in 1867 and 619,000 in 1856. The flour market was heavy for common and superfine grades of State and Western, while prime to choice extras were firmly sold, The sales were ‘0 @ moderate extent. Southern flour was in good request, and prices unchanged. Wheat was heavy, especially the lower grades of Western spring and club, while choice lots of white and red were firmly beld, with moderate sales. Corn was heavy, with sales of Jersey and Southern yellow at $6c. a 87c.; Weat- ern mixed was nominal at 84c. a 850. Pork was heavy and cheaper, with sales of new mess at $17 40a $11 55; old do., $17 25 and prime at $1250 a $12 60, with sales of 2,000 bbls. for May and June deliveries, sellers’ and bayers’ options, at $17 50a $1775. Beef and lard were firm, and gales fair. Coffee was quiet. Freight engage- meuts were limited, and rates unchanged. ‘The News from Central America—A Change Apparent in the Imbroglio There. The advices which we published yesterday from Central America are of an important cha- racter, and present several novel points of iate- rest in the changes of the political kaleidescope which public questions there present. First in importance is the announcement 0° the ratification of the Cass-Yrisarri treaty by the Nicaraguan Congress, with certain modifica- tions, which, if our correspondent is correctly informed of their character and extent, can be accepted by our government. Next is the ratifi- cation of Sir W. Gore Ouseley’s treaty by the same government, with modifications similar to those made in the Cass-Yrisarri treaty, and which place the governments of the United States and England on an equal footing in regard to the exercise of the duty of protection over the Tran- sit route. Then comes the statement that the British steamer Vixen was to proceed to Costa Rica, on the return of the mail from England, for the purpose of conveying Sir W. G. Ouseley to Panama, on his way home. This seems to demon- strate that the promised Convention with Nica- ragua, ceding back to her the Mosquito terri- torial seizures, is not to be made, nor that of the Bay Islands to Honduras, and that England has no idea of giving up anything she has possession of, whether rightfully or wrongfally, in Central America. Then we have the fact that the Nicaraguan Congress has, for some rea- _son or other, become alarmed, and refuses to ratify President Martinez’s wild land grant to Mons. Belly. Following this is the fact that this French gentleman has made his appearance in the tro- pics with a band of unacclimated Europeans, most of whom will probably die of fever before the summer is over; that in landing their bag- gage a box broke open, disclosing arms and ma- terial of war to such an extent as to lead the Nicaraguans to believe that a French coloniza- tion scheme is on foot, and that the little black- eyed man, Belly, will play over again with them the game of the little gray-eyed man, Walker. And finally, the prominent fact that the Nica- raguan people, if not President Martinez him- self, have come to the conviction that the Mora- Martinez policy of European protection is a failure, and that Nicaragua has been cheated out of all they want, by England, France and Sar- dinia, without giving anything of practical value in return. Theee curious developements, coming as they do on the heels of the Paraguay settlement, and the fact of the probable failure of the Miramon government and European policy in Mexico, have a great political significance. When the fact becomes known in the other Spanish- American countries that we have recognized the constitutional government of Mexico, heed- less of the opposition of the European Powers, and that the riverine States of La Plata have found and acknowledged that while the United States government possesses the power and de- termination to exact a respect for its rights, it is guided by a policy eminent for its justice, that knowledge will exert a powerful influence over the conduct of all of them towards us. The re port of General Urquiza to the government of the Argentine Confederation, as it reaches sue- cessively the other governments of Spanish Ame- rica, will convey to them a new idea of the Ame- rican government, more favorable than they have hitherto held; and if its beneficial effect is fol- lowed up by the presence of representatives of this country who have some knowledge of the world and ability to hold social converse with the people, Mr. Buchanan will have the honor of initiating the era of the preponderance of our po- litical influence throughout our sister republics of this continent. As for European influence and Monsieur Bel- ly’s schemes in Central America, they are im practicable humbugs. The first is already wan- ing, as is already proved in the partial failure of the Martinez policy in Nicaragua. Even if this | policy had succeeded for a time in blinding the Nicaragnans to their true interests, it would soon have resulted in revolation }and civil war. Monsieur Belly has al- | ready failed. His land (grant, which was the basis of his stockjobbing concern, has been wisely rejected by Nicaragua; and she has dis covered the true character of the Frenchman who wishes to carry out the very idea of Walker— the acquisition of her best Jands—in a different way, While the latter would gain his point with a bullet and “d—n your eyes,” the former strives to reach his with a grin and a shrug, and pardonnez moi. The truth is, there are certain great laws of | social developement upon which the political theories of Central America must attend. Those countries have acquired their present impor- tance only through the growth of our Pacific empire. England, the whole of Europe, may Lave an increasing trade with and throngh | them; but it is small, indeed, in comparison with that rapidly growing domestic commerce between our Atlantic and Pacific States, and, in fact, owes {ts own increase in a great measure to our advent and developement there. The Isthmus routes of transit clamored for three cen- | turies in the Courts of Europe, with the aid of every moral argument, for assistance to open them; but it was not till the material exigencies of our growth came to their aid that they were even considered or listened to. [t was Ame- rican genius that conceived the plans for opening the rontes, and American enterprise that curried them ont. And if European capital did lend some assistance to the work, it was only on American assurances of practicability and an American guarantee of profitable returne, Nica- ragua, or any other Spanish American commu- nity, cannot change the law of the social deve- | lopement of America; and before that law all political theories and all party policies must bead aad bow down, NEW YORK HERALD, FRIDAY, APRIL 15, 1859. Tus Crosna Days or THe Leai.ature.— The term of one hundred days for the session of the Legislature allotted by law, expired on Wed- nesday, the 13th inst, at which period the psy of the members ceased; but these gentlemen— disinterested patriots as they are—have been working for nothing since then, and wilJ pro- bably continue to do 80 to-day and to-morrow, when it is presumed they will close their labors: Up to last evening two hundred and sixty- eight bills. had passed both houses and received the executive approval, and it is remarkable, as an illustration of the influence of the lobby, that these acts did not number among them a single one of the bills materially affecting the govera- ment or interests of this city, of which so many have -been introduced during the session. The new charter for New York, whose infamous pro. visions we have before analyzed and condemned— the Fort Washington Avenue bill, the repeal of the Metropolitan Police law, the tax levy for this city, the twenty city railroad bills, the re- moval of Quarantine, and the bill remodelling our health department—some of which, if they become law, would revolutionize our municipal government—have been knocked about like shattlecocks in both houses. Some of them, passed in one house, were amended or wholly rejected in the other; the amendments of one body were scouted by the other; some of them recommitted, and some reported upon adversely in either house. This extraordinary difficulty in getting any of these important bills through shows the immense power brought to bear for and against them by the largest and most vo- racious lobby that ever hung upon the skirts of the Legislature, like bungry wolves on the con- fines of a battle field. ‘Two of the city failroad bills—those granting charters to the Seventh avenue and avegue D roads—in the absence of two railroad members, were killed in the Senate yesterday, greatly to the dismay and rage of the lobby. It is still possible, however, to reconsider the vote. The others are still in abeyance, but will doubtless be rushed to some final action in the last few hours of the session, So much for the fate of those}bills most di- reotly affecting the interests of this metropolis upto this time. Other matters of importance to the State generally received the consideration of the Legislature. The Registry bill, a hybrid and insufficient measure, has passed both houses, having met with marked opposition from the re- publican country members, and in the face of the masterly adverse report of Senator Mather. The Supply bill, a mass of corruption and rot- tennese, is still the subject of a furious contest between a few honest men and the whole horde of greedy spoils hunters, As there are something like a hundred report- ed bills still undisposed of, we can imagine what indecent hurry will prevail during the conclud- ing operations of the Legislature. Tar Quarners or THE RamRoap Compantes.— There is an old adage which says, “when rogues fall out, honest men come by their own.” The managers of several railroads entered into a con- spiracy, a short time ago, to deceive the public, and the combination has been broken up by the conspirators attempting to cheat one another. It is said “there is honor, &c.;” but there seems to be very little of that commddity in the deal- ings of the railroad companies with each other. Their accusations and recriminations are like those of a less respectable class of men, who have no longer any confidence in each other, and are eager, every man, to tell his own story, clear- ing himself and blackening the rest of his com- panions. A compact was made at the St. Nicholas Hotel between the managers of the Erie, the New York Central, the Pennsylvania and the Baltimore and Obio Railroads, in reference to time tables and freights. In pursuance of this compact, a Rail- road Convention was held at Buffalo to carry out the details. It broke up in a row—the New York Central refusing to be bound by it, and kicking out of the traces. It was alleged by the managers of that road that the South- ern lines derived too much benefit from the arrangement, and the Northern suffered dis- proportionate loss. The directors of the Southern roads would not yield whatever advantage the compact gave them, particularly as it origi- nated with a Northern road, namely, the Erie. An article signed “ New York” appeared in the New York papers on the Ist of April, backing up the action of the New York Central road. A review of this letter is now published, in the shape of a pamphlet dated April 11, in which the devious and crooked course of the Central is exposed” and the good faith of the Erie defended. it is not our intention to try to get at the bot- tom cf this compact, or to exhibit to our readers the merits of the whole case. That would defy the ability and ingenuity of a dozen first class lawyers, after spending a month in studying out the knotty questions involved. “It isa pretty quarrel as it stands, and explanation would spoil it.” The moral of the quarrel is that the public wilt benefit by the disruption of the ties which bound the conspirators together. All such com- binations are in the interest of the railroads and against the interests of the public. The sooner, therefore, they are broken up the better. Let every railroad and every other corporation stand or fall upon its owa merits. That these railroad managers have violated their agreement with each other astonishes nobody who is conversant with their operations. They went into it in order to cheat the public, and the public is now the gainer by their cheating among themselves and breaking up the whole rotten concern. A com- pact between such parties is nothing better than ® rope of sand. Tim Wasurcroy “ Uxion” Coxciiex—We have received the first number of the Constitution, published at Washington, of which Geo. W. Bow- man, late Superintendent of Public Printing, is announced as the editor and “sole and absolute owner.” The importance of this declaration will be recognized with the information that what is to-day the Constitution was yesterday the Union concern. The loving Juliet asks— “ What's in a name? A rove by any other name would smell a6 aweet.”? And Mr. Bowman has no doubt acted upon this hint, Mr. Wendell and his lobby gang, and his inexhaustible corps of editors, have disappeared, and the very name of the paper which they have rendered so famous Mr. Bowman has decmned it expedient to change. Very well. Anything for achange. The organ, under its new ensign, we are-told, will advocate “ the principles which the democratic party all over the country claim as common property.” But what are they? In the name of all the prophets, what arc they? We know of no other principles of this sort than the seven great party principles as set down by John Randolph—the “ five loaves and the two fishes.” These will do, however, for the present. But in addition to these, Mr. Bowman promises gene- rous support to the administration, and that it will be his aim “to heal : ny dissensions which may exist among our brethren in different quar- ters of the country.” The labors of Heroules over again! “ Any dissensions,” monsieur? Think of the old woman with her broom sweep- ing the rising sea tide out of her cabin. Bat let us give our new cotemporary a fair hearing, and should he fall short of the Senate printing, let us hope that be will be able to sell out at a ,cod profit to the next customer. Tue Porice Commissioners ann THR Covir qr Arprass.—From the tenor of an opinion de- livered to the Police Commissioners yesterday by their counsel, there is every reason to believe that the Board ‘ntends to deny each member of the o!d police the rights secured him by the re- cent decision of the Court of Appeals. It is al- moat certain that the Board will compel each man to prosecute a suit through the various courts, contesting each with the same pertinacity with which they defended that of McCune, just decided against them. This isthe professed re- spect for the courts and the law of which the black republican Commissioners have boasted— 8 policy which will entail countiess thousands of additional expense for our already agonized tax- payers, INTERESTING FROM WASHINGTON. Our Special Washington Despatch. OUR NICARAGUA RELATIONS. Wasennoron, April 14, 1859, ‘There is anew and vory interesting phase in our rola- tions with Nicaragua. Asbas already been made known, Ran Runnels, the new Consul to San Juan, took important despatches to Minister Lamar and the officers in command of our Home Squadron. These instructions have been roltorated and strengthened by despatches gent still more recently. Onur Minister is to demand tho immediate restoration of these steamers to the Transit Company, ample indemnity for the damage done by the destruction of the bridges and other property on the route, and any other damage that may have been sustained in consequence of the illegal wolzure and other highhanded proceedings ordered by Martinez. If these demands are not accedod to at once, the whole available naval force in the Gulf and elsewhere that can be concentrated at San Juan ina short time will be placed at his disposal and directed to act under his orders, even if that course should require that San Juan should again be bombarded, and all the towns in reach of tho squadron’s guns should share the game fate. ‘The instructions also back up very strongly General Cass’a despatch of last August, and assure Martinez in very unequivocal terms that this government will protect ‘the rights of the American Transit Company. ‘The government has deflniteiy resolved that the Transit route shall be opened, and has issued a circular to the several companies, to ascertain upon what terms the Cali- fornia mail can be carried by this route from the 30th of September, 1859, to the 30th of June, 1860. The com- pany must have the privilege of transit from Nicaragua, when our government will protect the company as far as our guns will go; and if things should come to a collision, there is hardly any question but that the naval command- ers would take the responsibility of landing suflicient forces to protect the passengers, mails and treasure. ‘The Jo. White Company, the only one having a legal ex- istence in Nicaragua, their contraet not expiring till Novem- ber, will probably agree to commence operations as soon as their New York matters are arranged, and to carry the mails for the postages. THE GENERAL NEWSPAPER DESPATCH, ‘Wasiunerow, April 14, 1859. The condition of our forcign relations generally, with the exception of those pertaining to Nicaragua, is repre” sented in reliable quarters to be highly satisfactory; ofli- cial intelligence from Nicaragua is awaited with deep in- terest. Assurances continue to be given that stringent measures will be taken toward that republic in the event of its refusal to render such satisfaction and guarantees as our government demands. Hon. John Letcher is better, Dut still confined to his bed; bis illness is attributed to exposure and exccesive fatigue while recently canvassing Virginia. The Secretary of the Treasury has decided that paint- ings on glass are dutiable at the rate of 24, percussion caps at 15, and pearl knife handles at 24 per centum, Recently the authorities of Iowa claimed tive per cent on the value of a tract of land in that State, designated as the Sac and Fox half breed reservation, but the Com- missioner of the Land Office has decided adversely, on the ground that the act for the admission of Jowa into the Union only applies to land sold from and after that event, | the tract haying previously been set apart.

The destruction of the mill, it is thought, will retard the com- pletion of the two steamships on the stocks for the Detroit and Milwaukie Railway, as the material for them was pre- pared by it.
