Judging from her ant ece d en t s th ere can be Water l o o -bridge Station, April 16th, 1856. 1 but little doubt that Prussia will cast her entire , weight into the Muscovite scale, and that, with the aid of Austria, the matter will be made as pleasant to the Government of St. Petersburgh as t possible. It will be something to know how this most untoward event has been brought about ; and by what means, or through what influences, the nation that professed a contemptible neu trality, while it was really lending the greatest possible assistance to our adversary, and acquiring immense profits from its proceedings, has been suf fered to escape with impunity from the natural conseqUences of its misconduct. On the Continent, even in Prussia itself, and in every petty German State, these matters are openly talked of, and the escape of Prussia is universally ascribed to the matrimonial alliance between the heir presumptive to the Prussian throne and the Princess Royal of England, which, it is said, has been definitively settled by the par ties principally concerned, although not a single hint has as yet been given to the British Parliament on a matter of such vital consequence to the entire nation, and which may possibly affect the suctes slim to the Throne, and transfer the Crown from the House of Hanover to that of Breadenburgh. No authentic information will probably be given until a Royal Message declares that the. inauspi cious match has been arranged, laid the guardians of the national 'finances are called on to vote a large dowry to the youthful bride. We trust that they will exhibit sufficient independence to resent the insult, and to resist the unjustifiable demand. There is too much of the public money already finding its way into German channels, and if the private in fluence, said to be paramount, desire to enforce an alliance—in every respect so distasteful to the British People—the funds may be provided for the purpose, without a begging appeal to the peo ple. Prince ALBERT has already pocketed more than six hundred thousand pounds of English money. Uncle LEoroLD has received nearly two million pounds sterling. And there is reason to believe •that the greater portion of these enormous amounts have been carefully /rat by and are now available. If for their own pur poses they desire to conclude this ill-omened mar riage, let them put their hands in their own pockets and abstain from fresh demands that will only raise unpleasant questions, and bring the im provident arrangements heretofore made into very painful notoriety. What is there in the antecedents of the present reigning. House of Prussia to render its alliance acceptable. In every instance it has displayed the utmost duplicity and insincerity, looking merely to its own selfish interests, and disregard ing the most sacred. obligations, whenever it seemed convenient to do so. " Nusquant tuta fides" should be the motto of that perfidious State. It has been truly remarked by - a contemporary that " she has been perfidious to friend and fee alike, and has not hesitated to accept from the hand of the common enemy the spoil of her own Allies. While accepting the subsidies of England she proposed, after the vic tory of Austerlitz, a treaty of which the basis was the annexing Hanover to the Prus sian dominions. Her perfidy to her friend, her I servility to her enemy, and her rapacity towatds .4, did not even secure her the confidence of hitri to gain whose favour she was ready to descend to the lowest point of degradation. ° * , Jf.

This is the truthful description of the tra ditional policy of the dynasty with which we are about to form a close and intimate connection, if the British Parliament do not effec tually interfere before the unfortunate event has been consummated--a connection which may int. plicate-this country in many difficulties, but which cannot by any possibility prove beneficial or advantageous to England. We had frequent and abundant reasons in the olden time to deplore the ties by which we were bound to }hoover. They have fortunately been severed by the acces sion of her MAJESTY, and ire should hesitate be fore we again become involved in others far more formidable to the future welfare and tran quillity of the British nation. What, we ask, would be the consequences in the event, which GOD forbid, of the failure of the male issue of Queen VICTORIA, and the amalgamation of the thrones of Prussia and Great Britain ? Such an event would be quite pssible, and the prospect should be sufficient to prevent the marriage, unless ac companied by an act to prevent the: issue from having any claim to the English throne. Even supposing that the case should never arise, there would be the prospect of England being called on to interfere in the event of the present discontent in Prussia leading to a change of dynasty. The least objec tionable result would be the accession of a body of pauper exiles to the pension list, and the good Ulicquot being permitted to indulge his peculiar tastes at the expense of our overburdened taxpayers. On every ground the marriage should be prevented, if practicable. Parliament should speak out boldly and intelligibly while there is yet time, so as to be enabled to avoid all responsibility when the evil day had arrived, and not to be called on to repair the mischief arising from a contumelious disregard of the advice, which it is constitutionally entitled to offer to the SOVEREIGN. • • It will doubtless have been observed by many of our readers that the columns of our journal contained last evening a very long and in many respects a every eccentric communication.

The last sitting was held on Wed nesday, and the Earl of CLARENDON, Count BUOL, and Baron MANTEUFFEL will forthwith return to their Ministerial labours in their respective coun tries. We gave in our impression of yesterday the statement of the Moniteur, which also de clares that, " after the signing of the Treaty, the Plenipotentiaries had still to occupy themselves with different questions, of a nature to consoli date and complete the work of peace —that " the ratifications will be exchanged at the end of the month - -and that "immediately after the pro mulgation of the general Treaty, the Protocols will be published, and will make known the 1 labours of the Congress in their details." The last is the only important part of the in tellipnee. It, was previously known that the Plenipotentiaries 'had occupied themselves on various points, the object whereof must have been in some manner connected with the so-called " work of peace." For what other purpose could the sittings have been required, and the animated, if , not angry, discussions that took place? They probably related to the appointment of the Com missions referred to in our leading columns of yesterday, and the Italian question, which was ventilated by Count CAYOIXR, whose views were, as is generally believed, earnestly supported by the repzesentatives of France and England. The ratification s could not, by any possibility, be de ferUtd-beY9n4 the end of the month ; inasmuch as the Treaty was signed on the 30th March, and on the following day Lord PALMERSTON an nouncqd in the :nßuse of Commons, that " the limitation of-time for-the purpose (i.e., of ratifica tion) was four weeks, but that it was hoped that, at least, within three weeks the ratifications might The matter th en must be exchanged at Paris." be concluded on or before the 2lth inst., and if the anticipation of the Britiih Premier should be realised it may be looked for almost every day. There i s , therefore, nothing very import a a i n tha first or second statements of the Moniteur. The fun publication of the Protocols is, how ever, an interesting point. If we have been sad, and we fear that but little doubt can exist, on that part of the case, it will be something to know on whose shoulders the responsibility should rest, and what were the positions assumed by the difittrent Plenipotentiaries. We trust that there may be no c 4 cooking of the accounts, " that the protocols will contain a full and accurate rep o rt of wh a t really took p l ac e . , without eith er amplifi cation or concealment. It is to - be feared, how ever, that some of the questions may be situat e ,* over, and that the supposed details will - deli* that which ma; suit the purposes of the differeht parties rather than the actual facts.

Besides all which, iu regard to the mere style of th e composition—the sentences are so plenteously freckled with inverted commas, the phraseology employed is so industrously un derlined into italics—that, beyond all manner of doubt, its writer ought henceforth to be nutn bered amongst those who were, once upon a time, happily designated the Forcible reobles by the Right Honourable Gentleman the Member for Buckinghamshire. A hurried glance down this remarkable commu nication will illustrate plainly and readily enough what we have said in regard to its extravagance in the way of vituperation. According to Mr. MOORE, the 'Home of Commons is---" obsequious," "servile," and "profligate." According to him many of the questions he Was required to answer in 1853 before the Committee were---" invidious," " disgraceful," and devoid of "deannoy." According to him the honourable gentleman thprepresentative of Perthshire made an attack characterised by the following string of epithets—" unfair," "disin genuous," " unwarrantable," " ignoble," and " underhand." According to Mr. MOOR; the Prime Minister of England is charged with "in sincerity, vulgarity, and insolence," with speaking what is "false," with uttering what - is a " gross slander," with having neither " the spirit of a man," nor "the feelings of a gentleman." Now really this doe's appear to us—just by the merest trifle, of course,—overdone. It seems something more even than a 'waste of power. It has a sort of a resemblance in its way to that vaulting ambition which overleaps itself, and which we take to be the Most poetic of all extant definitions of a summersault. It appears to us, in fact, for all the world Precisely what the Rev. CHARLES Kr/fouler somewhere horridly calls (in the lan guage of the most pedantic of pedagogues) no miety or over-muchness ! The worst of it all being that, apart from his adjectives, apart from his expletives, apart from his personalities and vituperations—Mr. MORRIS MOORE is decidedly in the right, having the full swing, the entire monopoly, the unlimited com mand of the best side of the argument ! Instead of simply availing himself of which, he damages a good cause by writing as we have indicated, as our readers may have already seen for themselves. In point of fact there is a description, in the cur rent number of the Edinburgh Review, of Mr. RusKues first appearance as a fine arts' critic (in the character of au Oxford Graduate idolising TURNER) that in one or two particulars, to our thinking, fits this recent apparition of Mr. MOORE to' a nicety. The Edinbtu-gk Reviewer hav ing observed incidentally that Mr. Rusxiar " branded as idiots, ruffians, and liars, the VANDERVELDES, SALV.ATORS, and CLAUDES," thas continues—" And the preacher snatching up Truth and Nature as his, watchword, but forget ting that these also imply Love, Charity, and Reverence, rushed into the Arena —Malay fashion —thrusting here, smiting there, foaming at the mouth, to establish Lis professional sanctity." Edin. Review, April, 1856, p. 538. Mr. MORRIS MOORE—to a T I Truth, in his hand, as a watchword--Reverence, Charity, Lore, for gotten—" thrusting here, smiting there, foaming at the mouth, to establish his professional sanctity !" Doing all this, and yet having all the while within his grasp—Truth ! The rights of the base es to the squabble between himself and Mr. STIRLING, the =Member for Perthshire, are best known of course to themselves individually. But it dose appear to , ns, nevertheless, as hardly fair on the part of the former, when he repeats what was said to him by the latter three years ago pri vately, or at least, we may presume, sotto twee-- "As for T.Twisis, he's an Ass"—the said UWINS being Mr. UwiNs, the Royal Academician. ther does it seem to us exactly above board, whee ,Mr. MOORE, repelling what Mr. STIRLING has re cently said in the House of Commons, observes of it, it is substantially " direct contradiction to the sentiments which he ence expressed to me in my A House whose most graceful. act was obscurely to insinuate at the outset of the War that it meant to do nothing but vote the supplies and keep the Ministry in power.

A House that will be for ever more memorable as the not unworthy counterpart of that distinguished assembly of which " Praise GOD BAREBONES" VMS so illustrious an ornament. A House that more than tolerated the senilities, if not worse, of an ABERDEEN, and drivelled like a dotard over the pukish twaddle and recondite nonsense of a GLiDSTONE. A House that, in its desire to make things pleasant, buried manliness and honesty under the designation of political rivalry in a napkin, and having suffered the country to drift into war without remonstrance, and to hive its energies wasted without complaint, waited with dumb acquiescence for a Peace patched up in the inte rest of its enemies.

In explaining his reasons for issuing a work on the Peninsula, , at a time when he sup poses the sympathies of the public to be wholly directed to the frontiers of Asia, he tells us tha.t it was commenced with no other view than that of occupying some idle time, but that it gives a faithful pictuie of what he saw in his expeditiou, and portrays the social ppeculiaritie.: of a district unvisited by moet:travelfers.

Sinspkin, Marshall, and - • Co. This Review admirably maintains its sterling and liberal principles. The current number .con tains ten, distinct articles on important and interest ing subjects, the first being a most ably-written digest of the Poems lately given to the world by Longfellow, Bailey, and Browning. The writer expresses the same wonder which is elicited in every intelligent and impartially-critical mind, viz., how authors who can create such natural beauties can perpetrate such literary atrocities; and regrets that the love of mystification and inane scribbling should invest the sunny slopes of Parnassus with the at mosphere of Bedlam. We do earnestly hope that the obscure and meaningless poetic productions so awfully predominant at present will come under the severe dennaciation of all honest critics, until the mistaken'anthors are convinced that "divine. in spiration" is by no means synonymous with dis cordant nonsense or turgid bombast. It is hi g h time some of our modern bards discovered that the People's taste and judgment will not accept spas modic syllables as immortal breathings, and not all that toadying cliqueism can effect, will transmute erratic quicksilver, or heavy leal, into Apollonian gold. There is a charming, continuation of the bio graphy of the Irish novelist, John Banim, replete with curious and i,nteresting matter ; and there is a lengthy paper headed " War and Peace," which claims especial eulogy, and cannot be too widely read. It deals sternly, but discretionally, with the unfortunate systems of management and series of incidents which have inflicted no small share of discredit—to use the gentlest word—on our na rional glory. The naval, military, and general iinancial , tatistics in this article are copious and explicit beyond the average of such statements, and deserve attention. We conclude our notice cf this healthy periodical with the following extract from the last-meationed paper : " We bad hoped ere concluding this article to have been able to announce and comment upon the final terms sf peace. But up to this moment nothing further is 'inown, at least by the general public, than was known -hree or four weeks ago. It is still left to conjecture whether there is, or is not, more sincerity in the Russian teeeptation of bases' this year than when they excited and disappointed our hopes , this time twelve months. We know not what concession or surrender of ill Acquired territory Russia is prepared to make, or what guarantee will be exacted from her against future ag zreasions. Judging from the past, she will, unless ef `actively bound down and restrained by some permanent And well-guaranteed arrangements, only bide her time. Inds wait for some period of European distractions to resume her course of rapine and unjust acquisitive. "She took advantage of the beginnings of the Ameri can Revolution to secure a lion's share in the first parti time of unhappy Poland, and subsequently advanced her southern armies till they occupied the northern shores 01 the Sea of Azof, and secured the course of the Dnieper When England and France were alike nearly exhausted by war in 1783, she annexed the territory of the Dolt Cossacks to the shores of the Caspian, and entered the Crimea. In 1792, in the first wild throes of the French Revolution, she seized the country between the Doieste and the Boug and completed the second partition of land. In 1795, th e war o f t h e F rench Revolution beine then hot in Europe and all attention engaged by it, ,ht effected the third and final partition of Poland. In 1802 she seized upon Minkrelia. In 1803 she invaded Georgia. In 1805 she seized the territories of Ksrabagh and Mongatchon, and in 1806 Sharnaki, on the Caepial, tea. In 1807, and the subsequent years till the conclu ion of the war, Russia continued h er a d vances in the East, taking advantage- of the distractions of Eur spe. and marking each =successive year with a fresh achiev,- 4ent of rapine. These her unjust acquisitions received t tacit sanction ficim the Holy Alliance' in 1815, am; l e active additio n t o th em i n perm i tt i ng her to abso: h -he Duchy of Warsaw, and finally shut Sweden out from tier plundered province of Finland. " Reluctantly She now found herself compelled to holy' ler hand, the other powers of Europe having at lengt3 :line to look around them, and beginning to manifest n, little wonder and anxiety at what she had been doing Nhile their attention was engaged in their own struggle for existence.

The treaty of Adrianople and of Unkiar-Skelesi attest that Russia, and Russia alone, profited in the end by the alliance. "It is to be hoped that in the Conference now about to meet at Paris, if it be judged impossible to insist upo, giving up of many of these ill-gotten acquisitions and advantages, adequate guarantees will at any rate be in -isted upon as to desieting..from future aggression, are; •ach arrangements made for the Danubian provinces amp . .siatic Turkey, as will make those countries bulwarks ss it were, against Russia, should she attempt hereafter .o violate her engagements."

A Ilistory of the Constitution of the Republic is ap- Tended, for the benefit of the realer, to whom this volume presents something of novelty and ,much of entertainment: The Journal of Psychological Medicine, edited by Forbes Winslow, M. D., opens with the usual "Quarterly Retrospect," in which the more salient, events of the quarter are recorded and commented ' , lpon by the editor. An instalment of an article on " Medical Jurisprudence of Insanity" deals with the subject of "Lucid Intervals," which involves a consideration of the doctrine of planetary influ ence. "Notes -of a Visit to the Public Lunatic A4ylums of Scotland," and " Autobiography of the Insane," are continued—the remarkable autobio t.traphic narrative to which we drew att,-ration in . . cur last notice coming to a conclusion. Anything more vividly and painfully descriptive of the fevered fancies and mental tortures of the insane we do not remember to have read. Among the run tining original contributions may be noticed an article "On Moral and Criminal Epidemics," 'nether "On some unrecognised Forms Of Mental Disord- , r," and a third "On Criminal Relponsi ;laity." The . first, more especially, is deservi.g of thoughtful consideration at the present time. The concluding paragraph runs as follows : "It is ever a painful task to dwell exclusively upon the delusions and crimes of mankiad ; but it is in the Aberrations of intellectual and moral culture that (as in Aber sciences) we must seek the clue to their normal aws. We have attempted to trace these aberrations, and have here met constantly with the conviction that :Tian, who has an individual responsibility, is the play.

Iu attempting to trace.: he *uses of these phenomena, - we have ventured to -inti ,ttate that our press has a liberty' which amounts to licence—that our spiritual teachers are lax in their !uties—tbat science is prostituted to evil purposes, and that our Legislature is not entirely free from the lawn- Gf adding its iniata to the encouragement of crime. fl this forms a problem of vast importance to humanity. , 'tae and thoughtful men ate looking earnestly into it, and attempting its investigation, and we, in this im ,erfect skbtat, have but wished to add our mite to the endeavour, by inquiring into the history and conditions if the past, which is indeed 'the interpretation of the itesent, and the proph ec y o f the future.' e try addition to the above are a number of impor excerpta from foreign psychological literature.

The total amounts to 361,716/ , less arrears of calls and cash in band amounting to . 12,7161., leaving a 'balance of 348,9971 ; which will be sufficient to complete a double line from Hereford to Crumlin, and a single one from thence to Quaker's yard, with works for a double They consider that within 15 months from thiS date the receipts wiil be sufficient to provide for the interest on all bonds, on the present 5 per cent. preference shares, and on the proposed protereime :shares at 6 per,Cent., and also to pay a dividend of 3 per cent. to the original Sbareholders.

We also meet with a description of the mountains and mountaineers of East and West Catalonia, a visit to the Pyrenean baths, and to the proscribed race of Cagots, the Pariahs of the Peninsula ; a visit to the people of Cerdagna and RoUsSillon, In 'which' the writer takes occasion to give — tiS'some account of the mysteries and miracle plays of the Trouveres. He says it was with a feeling akin to an instructive con viction that he had relapsed into the media val world, that after the services at the church were concluded he entered the humble theatre in which these performances took place. Though he admits that the introduction of the sacred events upon the stsge must shock a northern visitor, he contends 'that we are not justified in throwing the charge of profanity upon the mys teries. He asserts that they are suited to the sen timents of the people ; and that in those accustomed to them from childhood they do not produce any other sentiments than serious and devout feelings. The second part of the work is perhaps the more striking, from the novelty of its subject. It nar rates a visit to the republic of Andorre, " an almost unknown and independent republic, whose records, while they throw additional light on the annals of the early Moorish wars, serve also to corroborate the testimony of the historians of the Carlovingian age, and , whose title deeds, being the original charters of the Emperor Charlemagne, are by 400 years more ancient than the surviving do cuments of any one of the German or Italian republics." This wonderful little domain is situated in the heart of the most mountainous district of the border lands, and the inhabitants present all those quAlities of hardihood, frugality, and sim plicity that so often characterise the dwellers in mountainous regions. A comparison between the civilisation of Andorre and the rich and fertile valley of ITrgel (in the adjoining district of Cata lonia) is entirely in favour of the mountaineers, notwithstanding the comparative poverty of their soil. The traveller approached it with con siderable ,ouriosity, as he was aware it was a district that few of his countrymen had ever visited. Indeed, the Syndic, or head of the Republic, sub sequently informed hi m , th a t th ough he had filled that office fgr seven years, not one Englishman had visited his dominions during that time. " The majority of the English people had, I was per- suaded, seldom heard of its existence ; and yet it was nearly the oldest of the States of Europe. It had maintained its independence with little inter mission, from a period long anterior to the Norman conquest. It. presented nearly the identical form of polity which bad characterised its government in the (Nye of Charlemagne and of Louis le Debon noir. And in the midst . of prescriptive revolution, among the surrounding nations, it continued, be yond comparison of any other State, to be guided by Conservative principles, sanctioned by iinme m trial trOdition.' This secluded and singular little State frilly realised the anticipations of the traveller. He report's it as a species of Utopia, as rare as it is admirable. How far its indepen , , fence and stability could have withstood the com motions and perplexities of modern civilisation, had it been situated in a spot less retired from the notice of the political world, it would, perhaps, be difficult to say. As it is, however, it presents to the occasional traveller the confirmation of Gold smith's assertion.,— A VL.IT Ti) NICABAG64. +` S c. ..iri EXTEASIVE SEIZURE OF FLOUR AT TVAKEYZ6LD. The Court-house, Wakefield, was crowded on Wed nesday last by persons anxious to hear the proceedings relative to the late extensive seizure of flour from Mem& I Jackson and Son, corn dealers, Wakefield. Eighty s-ven sacks had been seized by Joseph Johnson, the sanitary inspector of the borough, in February last, from two shops of the defendants, in Westgate and Wrengate, under the impression that they were unfit for etini,.n to d. Owing to the result of the analysis of Professor Taylor, of London, 82i ef these sacks were ordered by the bench of magistrates to be returned to A;essrs. Jackson. The cases before the bench on Wed nesday related to the 44 sacks still retained by the in spector. The presiding magistrate on the Occasion was 11r. Joseph Holdsworth, Mr. W. Shaw appeared for toe prosecution, and Mr. Digby Seymour, M.P., was specially retained for the defendant, assisted by Mr. Micklethwai•e. The first charge preferred against Messrs. Jackson was for having flour for sale in their shop at Westgate-common on the 26th of Feb. last, the same being unfit for human food, contrary to the eta tute. Mr. Seymour took objection that the prisoner had no authority from the local board to proceed with the case to recover penalties, as required by the 18th and 19th of Victor cap. 121, sec. 5. The bench considered the infOrmation bad as regarded the penalties, but good as regarded th e seizure. T he information fell through ; and tbo next case taken was for having flour on their premises in Wrengate on the 25th of February - tinfit for food, which the inspectof prayed might be destroyed. , who, having The principal witness called for the prose cu ti on was eDxra.minLeetd a h euy sp , e o e f im t e h n e oLfonthdeon fluor , llos declared Hospital it, .in his l opinion, • to be unfit for human food, owing t o th e gluten of the flAir being in a state of decomposition. The Rev. W.. R. Bowditch, Mr. Sl a tt er, surgeon, and Mr.) s of M e ime ' surgeon to the convict d epartment of the House Correction, all gave it as their opieion that the flour was unfit for human food. Mr. Sey mour made a - long and able address for the defence, and he then called a number of cora-factors; including Mr. Thomas Smith, of the firm of Sanders and Smith. Liverpool and Manchester ; Mr. W. Nelstrop, late Mayor of Stockport; Mr. .Efarbridge, biscuit contractor, Liverpool ; and Mr. Thomoson, Witkfield,—all o f w h om gave it as their opinion that the flour was fit for human to id. Mr. Ifuggori, - chemical lecturer, Leeds ; Dr. , Atkinson, physician to the dispensary, Wakefield ; Dr. Craven, of Rothwell ; and Professor J o h n T. W ay , consulting che m i st t o the Royal Agricultural Society, ha I all examined portions of the flour, and they declared , it to be fit for human food. There was no trace of adul teration in the flour, and a slight taint which it obtained might have been caused by the improper stowing of it during the six- weeks since the seizure. The case was dismissed after having occupied the Court eight hours. The decision was received with a round of applause by the assembled audience. The case has excited the ut most interest among the corn-dealers in Yorkshire and, Lancashire.

Hie lordship had derived great benefit from the ' Tome, The following letter, from the pen of a Connecticut farmer, who gives a description of a visit of observation to Nicarag,ua, has been published at New Yorle:--- New York, March 14, 1856. * * " We arrived at last at the city of Granada, and met sentinel of Walker's army, who told us to hurry up or we would get into the guard house. Having letters of intro duction to the American consul, I proceeded tohis residence, and, without stopping to present them, I asked him if he knee where we could procure lodgings. He very kindly sent a servant with us, and after an hour's search we were offered the privilege of swinging a hammock in the court of one of the houses. Having no hammocks, our next effort was to secure them, and after a long search we succeecled.in buying a couple at $2 each. We returned, tied them up, got into them, and passed the remainder of the night in gazing at the stars and fighting mosquitoes. We learned the next morning that we were fortunate in riecuriog as good accommo rations as we did, as many of our companions had slept in the government barracks, and some on benches about the Plaza. Mr. Squires, a carpenter, ene of the pas eengers who had gone on with his family, succeeded in get ting a house, and during the remainder of my stay there myself and Mr. Squires' friend, a Mr, Jackson, of Sharon, Connecticut, a farmer ' remained with them, and we were supplied with the best living which the country afforded. We still continued, however, to seep in hammocks, which we hung high to avoid the lizards which abound there. My next two weeks were occupied in looking about the country in the vicinity. My opportunities for observes tion were abundant, and I will now proceed to state succinctly the facts of importance which I desire to com municate. First, I propose to show the induceatents for farmers to emigrate to the land which has been called' the garden of the world.' The offer of from 250 to 300, acres of land as a free gift is held out to the worthy far mer ; and on he Northern Light going out I found eight' farmers on beard who ha I been lured from their homed ih the United States by the golden premises held out by Nis tragus,. Mr. Jackson, who with myself boarded with Mr. Squires, had sold his farm in Connecticut to emigrate, got discouraged, was taken sick, and died in three days. Four of the others went out from Granada, with other par- Ves, to examine the country, and were gone over three days. They hirezi mules, and went to Messiah. Two of the number were taken sick with the fever before their return and died. The other two returned to Granada, where one died with the fever three days after. The remain ing three left determined to get out of the country as soon as possible. Another party of farmers, some from Cali. fornia, went down to examine a region of country, said to ' be very fertile, situated between Rivas and Virgin Bay. Two of the parties were taken sick. with the fever while absent, and the or hers returned to Granada, and filed their claims to the land tarry had staked out ; after which they returned to the land to commence operations. But while at Virgin Bay, on my way home, I saw one of these gentlemen and talked with him. He was very low with the fever himself, and beyond the hopes of recovery. He told me that soon after returning to commence work inn their claims they were taken down with the fever, and when he left his location, four of the number were lying there too sick to be removed. I learned from a Go vernment officer that these claims were the first which had been filed for farms, since Walker's government had been established, and that up to that time not a spade had been struck into the ground, on Government land, by an Ame rican. As regards the fertility of the soil some parts of the state are very fruitful; but I do not think an Ameri can can make a living on any amouut of land. From all that I can judge the Government land for agricultural par poses is worthl ess . I b e li eve t h at t h e labour required to clear up sufficient land of the underbrush to enable a per son to live from it (if he could live from any amount of land), if the labour were applied to five acres of land in' rendering it fertile, and devoting it to gardening purposes ;• and fruit near here, it would make a man independent. I think a person is far better off it ho is working on a farm at 50 cents a day and his board than he would be at Nicaragua , • with 1,000 acres of land. After they have got the land,,; iu their possession, if they live long e no u g h t o b u ild a house, they will find that the labour of clearing land • enough to raise an acre of corn will be more than they can endure. The landis covered with an almost impenetrable u"der-brush, which forms the retreat of countless snakes and ecorpi , ,ns. Numbers of farmers who have gone oat for • the purpose of .taking up land were in G rana d a w h en I l e f t , some dying, some sick, and others without the means of get ting away, discouraged and disheal tened. I took much pains to test all the tropical fruits of the country, and would not give our apple and peach for the whole catalogue. The in ducements to mechanics are but little better, if any. Mr. Squires, the carpenter, who went out inthe Northern Light, who had a good cheat of tools, and was an excellent work man, was making from $3 to $5 per day; but he told me' this could not last more than a few weeks, as there was nothing in his line to do except repairing windows, small jobbing, and making an occasional store-counter. A young than, also a carpenter, who went out with his brother, was employed by the Government in making coffins, which its the most lucrative employment in the place. He was taken sick at six o'clock in the evening, and at four the next morning he was dead, and that day was buried in a • coffin which he had made himself. He was perfectly tem- • perate in his habits and in excellent health up to the mo- Ment when he w.c taken sick. His brother came home in the Northern Light a few days since, sick with the fever ' and it was only by care f u l nurs i ng on the voyage that he was enabled to reach his home alive. Mr. R. T. Starr, for many years cutter and foreman in the tailoring establish ment of William T. Jennings and Co., of Broadway, is the only man iu Granada who is making money at his trade, he having the patronage of the Government as well as nearly 611 the private citizens Many mechanics, unable to find • employment, get out of money, have no means of living, and. Are thus forced to leave the country. There is still anothat class of emigrants who are fired with military enthusiasm; • and to them I have but little to say. Generally, they have • no honest employment here, and do not want any. At least six of this class, who left New York on the 24th January, died the next day after their arrival, while on their way from Granada to Leon, where they had been ordered to march, musket in hand, under a scorching sun. I did not learn how many more cited before reaching Leon, but was informed that the captain of the company, mounted on a mule, went on to Leon for a physician. The filibuster leaves New York in high spirits, nut when he gets into Ge. natal Walker's power he will be as tame and submissive as a sick lamb. In walking around among the troops I have seen them in tears over their desolate situation, it being impossible for thew to leave the army. Walker lets off no man, howevt.r urgent the, necessity may be. I have seen 6 very worthy young man plead the sickness of his mother and her destitution, as a reason for his return, and the only answer he got was a peremptory order to go back to his com pany. There are very worthyyoung men in the army, but among them all there is 4 general dissatisfaction and dis appointment. Their food is very poor, and their pay is barely enough for their washing expenses. The captains receive only six dollars per week, and sickness prevails in the army town alarming extent. For labouring men to emigrate the inducemen tsare quite asfew. One man, who left • Granada on the day I did, to return, was seized with the fever on the way down the lake. At Virgin Bay he was treated by a physician, who thought that he might venture to start for home. He did so, and on the second day out from San Juan he died, and his body was thrown over. board. I understood that he was formerly a policeman in New York. Two Irishmen, brothers, went out in the Northern Light, but one became discouraged on arriving at San Juan and returned. His brother, however, went on with me to Granada. He got employment, at a dollar and a half per day, at driving the government cart. He was a healthy anti strictly sober man, but, one week after his arrival, was seized with the fever and died. It is ims possible for as Aultzican to work in that climate, particu larly those from the northern states. They become debili s tated and weak, and those who are in the habit of drink iug sufficiently to irritate the stomach almost invariably die. Granada is the great deadhouse of the country. Three • miles from the city is a pond, which, in the dry sea son, becomes putrid, and the wind, which almost always blows from that direction, sends a miasma, over the city;' and thi s , w ith rum and lift, is the cause, of the unhealthiness of the place. When I left there were about 400 Americans in the place, and they were dying at the ante of 5 per day on an average. It is said that Leon, a place 10J miles above. Granada, and reached by mules, is , • much more healthy. Virgin Bay, Caatillo, and San Carlos are comparatively healthy.—l am. respectfully years, " WILLIAM D.
