A. sharp discussion was going on among the members when the despatch left: In the Senate the President had been requested to • eommunicate all instructions on Central American affairs not previously furnished. Memorials from Commodore Stewart and several officers of the navy had been received and referred. New Orleans accounts report the rapid progress of filibustering in that city. The business of enlist ing and shipping men to Nicaragua was carried on openly. A large party was ready to leave for San Juan on the 10th inst. It is also stated that the leaders of the movement had had an interview wits the United Slates' District Attorney, and that he had given assurances that lie would take no steps to prevent the departure of the steamers and men. In the United States Circuit Court a motion to compel the District Attorney to produce the indict ment against Colonel French, the Minister from Nicaragua, and to commence at once with his trial, was rejected by the Court. The ship St. Danis, from New York to Havre, foundered at sea on the 6th inst., during a hurri cane. All the passengers, of whom there were 13 on board, were drowned, and out of her crew of 27 persons only 11 were saved. The survivors were picked up by the Naples, from Leghorn, and brought to New York. The British ship Thomas Ritchie was abandoned on the 7th inst. Crew saved. We' liaire received . Havannali dates to the 13th inst. There was nothing of particular intereet. The correspondent of the Be' aid, writing from Washington on the 14th January, nays "We are informed that a protest has been sent by the British Government against the recognition of the New Nicaraguan Government by the United States. This morning the subject of Mr. Buchanan's withdrawal from the Enr_dish Court was again under con sideration. Where is that promptness so oftett spoken of by General Pierce in his message ? A. show of it now would tell with effect. The probable withdrawal of Mr. Buchanan from the Court of Eng land has produced in this city unusual excitement. The President has had calls from almost every quarter in relation to the subject. I have just learned that he will submit the matter for advice to the Senate in Secret Session."

Thursday, 14th Febru try. ~;; On the 18th he says— " The President has determined his reasons of the withdrawal of our Minister, Mr. Buchanan, from the C , urt of St. James's ; unfortunately that body has ad j mrned over until Monday." Again— " There is nothing at all new with regard to our rela tions with Great Britain. Lord Clarendon's latest despatch was dated in November. It required an elabo rate answer, and Mr. Marcy has recently prepared onetif great length. From the nature of the circumstances no further step can be taken by us until we hear from Great Britain again. It is for her to make the next move. England at first admitted her error in the matter of the recruitment and promised both reform and reparation the reparation ehe never made." The commercial accounts state that a more cheerful tone pervaded the money-market. In exchange bills on London were quoted at 1074 to losg ; and on Paris 5.321 to 5.20. In the prodace market there was little change. Freights were rather better. Cotton was a shade firmer. . _ Mr. Cowper—Vaccination—Early day.

Its perusal is aarticularly recommended to patens entertaining secret doubts of their physical condition, and who are conscious, of having hazarded the health, happiter, and privileges to which eVerY, hum;2 being is entitled.

The Niger has been actively employed (luring the whole of the past campaign. She will be refitted at Wool wich, with new boilers and engirea.

LIVERPOOL STEErLECHASE.--Bourton, Trout, British Sailor, Harold, Major. RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE. KENDAL AND WINDERMERE. The half-yearly meeting of this company was Len on Thursday at Kendal ; Mr. L. Hayworth, M.P., in the chair. The report refers to the expenditure under the head of Windermere Hotel, 4,821/. on capital account. This sum completes a contract, and upon which rent has been duly received ; a further outlay may be necessary to meet the requirements of the tenant to a very limited extent. The gross income has fallen short of the corresponding half-year of 1554 by 2201., which is chiefly owing t o changes in the system made by a neighbouring company in forwarding the goods traffic. Oa the other hand, the expenses of locomotive power and general charges are diminished by 3421., but much of this saving has been absorbed by an increase in the rates and taxes, and by an increased rate of interest. The profits on tho work ing of the line during the past half-year are 821. less than at the corresponding period of 1854. The directors re commend a dividend of ss. per.share out of the net pro fits, which will absorb 1,0421., and leave 599/. to be carried to the reserve fund. The traffic receipts for the Ai-sear endinillTC-Srlast . amounted to' 6,7758 t.. and vie expenses, interest on loan, - and preference shares to 5,146/.. leaving a balance of 1,641/. On the motion of the Chairman, resolutions were passed adopting the report, declaring a dividend of se. per ordinary share, and placing 1001. at the disposal of the directors for their services during the past year. A vote of thinks to the chairman concluded the pro ceedings. EDINBURGH, PERTH, AND DUNDEE. A special meeting of this company was held at Edin burgh on Tuesday to consider certain proposed working agreements, the object of which has been already ex plained in the Times. Mr. Balfour, of Balbirnie, pre sided. The agreement with the Scottish Central Rail way was unanimously approved of, and that with the Kinross branch line was agreed to with only twe dis sentient votes, the negative being moved by the secre tary of the Fife and Kinross Railway, a competing line with that was proposed. BIRKENHEAD DOCKS. At a special meeting of the Liverpool Town Council, held yesterday, a long discussion took place on the pro visions of the bill for carrying into effect the Birkenhead Docks Act of 1555, providing for the construction, cmupletion, and management of the Birkenhea Docks. Mr. T. L. HonsoN objected to the 12th clause, which gives the corpora'ion power to construct new and altered works at T3irkenhead, accord ing to the plans of Mr. Harley, surveyor of the Lirtrpool Docks, on the ground that the purcLvise of the docks having already- cost 1,200,000/. it was most imprudent to expend 850,000/. upon the proposed new work, Mr. - Hodson advocated such au extension rvi would cost 140,0001., and accommodate all the trade which might be anticipated for 10 to 12 years at Firken• After a long discussion, in which Mr. Hornby, Mr. Alderman Holme, Mr. Picton, Mr. C. Turner, and Mr. Bramley Moore, M.P., took part, the whole of the clauses were passed, and the bill was referred to the Birkenhea . l special committee to take the proper steps for its prosecution. NORTH BRITISH. The adjourned meeting of this company for the pur pose of considering Mr. Walker's motion to instruct the directors to withdraw the money bill now in Parlia ment was held at Edinburgh on Tuesday. Mr. Hodgson, chairman, presided. The CHAIRMAN again stated the intention of the direc tors to offer their seats to the shareholders after the passing of the money bill, and before expending the new capital, and he urged Mr. Walker not to take any course which w,nild impede or endanger that bill. Mr. WALKER moved that the meeting, having no con fiden,lT whatever in the board, instruct them to witb wehnidch reviewed 3. the ten last half-yeadraw their application to Parliament for a b i ll to raise new capital, and take no further mea scres t o promote the same. Mr. INFGArrN• sec r o ly sid r e eo dptrhtes, all of sively spoke of ecunomy in management and the line in i con dition, and an early pro spec t o f di v id end g oo( to the original shareholde rs, whereas for some years pas t till that day they had not received any divid en d. They La I received ut) dividend, and they w ere s till told that their earnings were absorbed in renew ing their plant. He blamed the unfortunate position of the line on the incompetency of the management, and wished to see the present directors replaced by better men. Mr. BERRY moved the adjournment of the discussion till the half•yearly meeting in March, which amendment was carried by a majority present, but held to be re versed by the votes of the proxies intrusted to Mr. Walker. Mr. Walker's motion was, in like manner, held to have been carried by the proxies. The meeting then separated.
