UNITED STATES POLICY IN SOUTH AMERICA. If we are to judge from accounts recently pub lished in the United States papers, the designs of our enterprising and go-a-head cousins on the other side of the Atlantic are enlarging with success and. opportunity - . It is not merely that they are re solved either to purchase or to take Cuba k or that, halting first absorbed Texas and then acquiredee _ California, they are now buying another great their li of Mexico on the north, and pushingforward at scheme of a route across that flounderingsta te Tehuantepec on the south, thus stripping Mexico as artichokes are eaten, leaf by leaf ;or that they frivolous have been destroying Greyt pre texts, and are overthrowing n th o e n independence and native government of the Sandwich Islands, and about to annex them also. All these things are plain sad patent enough ; he greatwho runs may sea theta. An European war i s a opportunity ; and of that opportunity our relatives are making the most in Cuba, Mexico, and the Sandwich Islands, after their own unscrupulous way. That is clear enough. But it is by no means to the northern hemisphere of America that their designs are limited ; they Spani policy and intrigue round sh ing a web of Amerioan republics of South America, and sowing the seeds of ill-will and unfriendliness with the only Americs.n r2narchy, to be hereafter culti va t e d Into qliarr4 e ' e 3 et us try to explai n w h at i t i s ,-4- 1 they, are about in this quarter of the world. If our readers will look at a map, they will find the republic of New Grenada stretching on one side into the Carribean sea, and on the other side along the Pacific. Next to New G rena d a i n the former direc tion comes the state of Venezuela ; after which the Guiana plantation!,• of- England,. Holland, and Frances-flank away into the Atlantic. On the side-bf the Pacific, Ecuador adjoins New Grenada ; then Peru stretches far along that coast ; and next to it Bolivia, with( only one Pacific port, pene t; Crates into the interior. Now, between these re publics and the Atlantic intervenes the immense ss . empire of B raz il ; an d t h e pecul i ar i ty of all five - republics is, that they are drained, not into the -I`s- Pacific,. but int o th e Atl an ti c ocean , th roug h v)sfr.' , Drazil, by means of the river Amazon and its :hundred-tribu.taries, all more or less navigable, to within sixty miles, it is said, of the Pacific. Naturally; then, the Alazon is the route by which European and North American trade with them and the northern portions of Brazil can be most readily carried on ; its navigation is consequently a question of first-rate importance for these repub- I lies, and even more so for Brazil ; and, as it is through Brazil that the Amazon for some 1,500 miles runs into the Atlantic, the best mode of pro moting navigation thereon is obviously a cordial understanding and good relations between Brazil and these five republics. During the early years of its independence and the minority of the present Emperor, Brazil was far too constantly engaged in solving domes .a tic difficulties to pay that attention to its foreign relations with conterminous states which they de served, and the internal condition of its re publican neighbours wholly precluded any chance of useful negotiations. At last, however, great financial prosperity and domestic tranquillity placed the Government of Brazil in a position to take a large and comprehensive view of South American affairs, and about the year 1850 it began to seek the co-operation of the Spanish American republics in closing all those open questions which might, by continuing in their open state, lead to irritation, misunderstandings, and perhaps hostilities. For example, their several and respective boundaries " still remained unsettled and undefined. So long ago as 1777, the treaty of San Ildefonso at tempted to lay down the basis of a settlement of the frontiers between the Spanish and Portu guese possessions in South America; but it was negotiated in great geographical ignorance of the countries it affected to deal with, and the mixed commissioners appointed under it wholly failed to work out the provisions and objects of the treaty. The war between Spain and Portugal in 1803, which led to large acquisitions by the latter in South America at the expense of the former, of course terminated this treaty, and it was not re newed by the peace of Badajoz. From the time of independence down to 1850 scarcely anything had 'ibeen done to define the boundaries between the new Portuguese monarchy and the Spanish repub lics, or between the republics themselves ; and as undefined boundaries are amongst the most ugly ( se) and endless of all State controversies, Brazil now fl4A..proposed to arrange them on the principles of the uti possidetis. At the same time Brazil ; offered to place the comm erc i a l re l at i ons between herself and these various states on the simple and secure foot ing of free trade . , and to exchange with them the right of navigating their respective rivers. • Just as the upper tributaries of the Amazon, as they run through Bolivia, Peru, Ecuador, New oriT Grenada, or Venezuela, belong t o th e s t a t es w hi c h possess oth banks, so the lower course of the Amazon to the Atlantic belongs to Brazil ; and by the old treaties between the Spanish and Portu guese Crowns, the right of the latter to exclude the Spanish colonies from its navigation was ac- I knowledged. Thus situated, Brazil had of course more to offer the Spanish republics than they had to give her. She had complete 'possession over their route to the Atlantic, and could deny them access to the ocean thereby, without offending against any principle of public law. Brazil, however, took no advantage of this supe riority. On the contrary, she offered to exchange the freedom of her waters against theirs, and to co-operate with them in establishing steam navigation on the Amazon and its tributaries. On this basis a treaty was concluded in 1851 between Brazil. and Peru, to which the adhesion of the other states was agreed to be sought. In conformity with this treaty, Brazil has established steam navi gation on the Amazon, and has now boats running between Para and Barra, its frontier ports, once a month ; while Peru, on its part, declared the ports of its affluents free, and has purchased smaller sized vessels to navigate the Uycuyali. And now the United States began to interfere, and to stir up j ea l ousy of, and ill-will against,' Brazil in these republics. As a monarchy, the United State s o f course bear no love to Brazil ; and in these very natural proceedings of the Imperial Government, they affected to see efforts to extend monarchical influences in South America, which they deemed them selves bound to oppose. So, accordingly, their diplo macy became unusually active in New Grenada and Ecuador, and with considerable success ; for there, in point of fact, United States' influence prevails in the government. In Peru also they were suc cessful ; and though not perhaps to the same ex tent in Bolivia and Venezuela, nevertheless to some extent. First of all came expressions of North Ame rican sympathy with, and support of, Republican lam in South America ; and to these scenes of hugging and fraternisation succeeded insinuations and suspicions of monarchy and Brazil. In offering to exchange the right of navigating the Lower Amazon, Brazil was described as putting forth pre tensions of exclusive sovereignty over it which had no foundation in public law. The Lower Amazon, it was asserted, was free to all flags without any concession ; it was not a river, but an arm of the sea, a strait ; and as such even North America had a right to navigate it, and was Wag prepared t o en f orce t h at r i g h t. Such the lawless doctrines American diplomacy j preached in these republics, thereby retarding, and disarranging, and unsettling negotiations for their 4 .common benefit.

If there is no other punishment in this world for such a wretch as we are about to describe but that of publicity, for the pur pose of holding him up to the scorn and abhorrence of all mankind, we would be the last to inflict it by insert ing his name and all respecting him, but, unfortunately, such a course would inflict more pain on the victim and her family by the exposure than it would on the bead of the demon in human shape who could conceive and afterwards carry out his designs, as it appears the ruf fian to whom we allude did. Shortly, then : this per son, who represents a certain house in Glasgow—we will not say in what position—paid his addresses to the daughter of a person above him in position, but he was admitted as her suitor. Within a month from the present time, he called one evening, at the house of the lady's father, and obtained permission for her to take a walk with him in the suburbs of Glasgow. On her re turn he brought her to an hotel, where she had a cup of coffee. She remembered nothing of that fatal time until she found herself in a strange room. She rang the bell, and to her horror she discovered that she was in a certain hotel in Belfast, havine. been brought there from on board a steamer by her betrayer, who stated that she was his wife, and was insensible from sea sickness. He remained all night % but went away in the morning, discharged his bill, saying heit . wOhTd return again. It is needless to say he did not. The unfortunate girl was without any means, having nothing but the clothes sho wore, and a gold chain about her neck. This she sold and procured a passage to Liverpool. On Thursday she was met and recognised by a gentleman in Street, in this town (Liverpool) ; he being a friend of her father's, she confessed all to bim, and expressed the greatest horror at the idea of returning home, although she is in the most wretched state at this moment. The gentleman kiadly supported her present trying neces sities, and it is hoped will be the means of restoring her to her friends. But what will her destroyer say when he hears the state to which he has reduced this very unhappy girl and her distracted family RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE.!i EASTERN COUNTIES. It is understood that the dividend for the past half year will be 3s. 6d. per ordinary share, leaving a balance of about 5,0001. for the current half-year. NORTH AND SOUTH-WESTERN JUNCTION. The half-yearly meeting of this company was held yesterday at Euston-station, Mr. H. Tootal in the chair. Mr. H. CHUBB, the secretary, read the report, which stated that the tonnage of goods conveyed over the railway had increased so much during the past half-year as to reach the amount guaranteed by the London and North-Western and London and South-Western com panies. There appears to have been conveyed in the six months 22,387 tons of coal 'and 10,787 tons of mer chandise. This description of traffic having in so short a time realized the guarantee, it may reasonably be ex pected to yield a steady increase of revenue. It was only on the Ist of June last that working arrangements began with the South-Western Railway Company, by which passengers were enabled to travel beyond Kew, to and from all stations between that place and Wind sor ; and at the same date the daily trains were increased from four to seven each way. These new facilities (limited as they assuredly are at present) thus afforded to the inhabitants of the northern and eastern suburbs of the metropolis have brought a considerable accession of traffic to the line, and will, it may justly be hoped, considerably improve the receipts arising from this source during the current half-year. The directors look for ward with confidence that increased facilities will still further develope the traffic, and that this railway will, at no distant period, justify the opinions which they have always held in respect to its intrinsic commercial value. The not balance of 5361. will admit of the payment of a dividend of 2s. per share for the half-year, and leave 371. to the credit of the current half-year. The act em powering the company to raise the additional capital re quired to clear off all outstanding liabilities has received the Royal assent. The amount of new share capital au thorised is 15,000/., being 1,500 shares of 101., each which the directors propose to offer to the existing share holders, according to their present respective holdings. The proportion will be one of the new to four of the original shares. No steps have' as yet been taken to wards the construction of the Hammersmith branch, hut, as the time allowed for its completion is advancing, it will soon be necessary to commence the works, and when constructed the main line will derive the advan tage of all the additional traffic which must necessarily be produced from this branch. The capital account to the 30th of June showed that 68,8101. had been received and expended. The Hammersmith branch account showed that 1,4991. had been received, and 1,2221. ex pended, leaving a balance of 276/. The revenue account for the half-year showed that 1,5651. had been received, and 7811. expended, leaving a balance of 7841. Out of this was deducted 3111., the interest on the debenture debt, leaving 472/., to which was added 641., the sur plus from the last account; making 536/. ava il a bl e f or dividend. The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the report, congratulated the proprietors on having had the guaran teed amount of goods and minerals passing over their line ; but he regretted that the amount received from passengers had been so small. The 2,0231. received had to be divided with three other core penies, leaving them about 4401 He then read a statement, showing that the passenger traffic during several weeks of the first part of the past half-year did not exceed an average of 211. per week, but that since the South Western had commenced booking passengers to and from Windsor over the line the passenger receipts had exceeded the average of 210/. per week. To show how much the passenger traffic had increased - during the current half-year, he stated that the receipts for passengers during the past six months amounted to only 2,0231., while the re ceipts for the month ending the sth of August amounted to 1,1161. They had no doubt, on the whole, that the anticipations which had been held out with regard to the traffic on the line would be fully realised. Mr. CREED seconded the notion, which was carried unanimously ; as was also one declaring a dividend of 2s per share fur the half-year. A formal resolution was also passed authorising the issue of the new shares. In reply to questions. it .was stated that, when the Hampstead Junction was completed, the trains would pass on to the North London line without interfering with the London and North-Western traffic, and instead of being limited to six or seven trains per day, they could run as many trains as were necessary to develope the traffic and to accommodate the public. A vote of thanks concluded the proceedings. 1 HULL AND SELBY. The half-yearly meeting of this company was held on Saturday at Hull, Mr. J. Loft in the chair. The report stated that the directors had succeeded in obtaining the insertion of clauses in the bill for the amalgamation of the York, Newcastle, and Berwick, Leeds Northern, and York and North Midland Railway companies, protecting the interests of the Hull and Selby Company in respect to a contract which had been en tered into by the York and North Midland Company several years ago for the execution of the lease of the line. The half-yearly rent due on the let of July by that company, and which was usually paid on the Ist of August, had not been paid. The accounts showed a balance of 32,8251., which, on the rent being received, would be available for dividend. The dividend recom mended was at the rate of 48s 6d per 501. share, 24s 3d per half share, and 12s lid on the quarter shares, sub ject to a deduction for income-tax. It was stated that the money had been paid into the Court of Chancery on Friday. The report was adopted, and the proceedings con cluded with a vote of thanks to the chairman. EAST LANCASHIRE. The directors' report, just issued, states that the gross receipts for the half-year amount to 39,5611. 16s. 5d., whi9l3,, after deducting the working expenses, interest, anit il ii'ieference dividends, leaves a balance of 39,006,1. is. 4d., a sum which will enable the share holders to declare a dividend on the ordinary stock of the company at the rate of 3j per cent, per annum, carrying, a small surplus to the reserved fund. .., .

POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE. —AssA LTS.— Ar Laugh lin, (tailor), and _Elizabeth, his wife, wore brought before the Lord Mayor, charged with having assaulted each other, and disturbed the neighbourhood of Bishopsgate, in which they reside. The male prisoner had on Monday been charged with having assaulted his wife—to whose care, at her parti cular request, the Lord Mayor, after having heard the whole of the facts, consigned him, with a hint that if there should be any more public quarrels between them they should be both held responsible to the public. A policeman stated that at 12 o'clock on Monday night, upon hearing the cry of "Murder !" and "Police!" he went to the house of the defendants, when he saw them on the ground tearing each other's eyes.and hair out. They were separated, but soon afterwards re-corn inenc,ed hostilities in the street, and gathered together by the mere force of their abuse about a hundred of the neighbours, who had been rous e d f rom th e i r repose many a time by he same sort of summons from the same par ties; again they were separated, and entrusted to their own management of their mysterious differences, but at two o'clock, in consequence of the revival of the alarm ing discords in the house, the windows of whi c h h a d been shattered by M r . M:Laughlin, it was found abso lutely necessary to transfer man and wife to the station house. The Lord Mayor—l was afraid I should see you both again. What have you to say, Mrs. M‘Laughlin, for having been a party to this disgraceful scene, after what had taken place on Monday ? I thought you and your husband might have managed matters better. Mrs. M‘Laughlin—My lord, the neighbourhood is a very bad one, and although I pay 301. a year for my house, we are kept wide awake all night long by the dia bolical noise of these parties, who are so infernally vul gar, that we can stand it no longer. It is said that panes of glass were broken. Certainly there were, but my husband never thought of such a thing. It was quite accidental. I feel that I have been ill-treated by the po lice, and I hope I shall - be protected by the magistrates. Mr. M‘Laughlin upon being asked whether h e w i s h e d to say anything, acknowledged that although he felt that ho and his wife had on - Saturday night disturbed the neighbourhood, they had, after the discharge on Monday by his lordship, ventured to celebrate the occasion by about a pint of gin, the consequence of which he had no recollection of. ' That although he had no great opinion of his wife, he did not think she kept up such a row as had been described for so long a time. The Lord Mayor—Pray how much gin had you and your wife together after your discharge by me ? Mr. 141`Laughlin-1 make it a rule, your lordship, never to keep any account of the kind. Mrs. M`Laughlin—No, my lord ; it's never thought of after its gone. (Laughter.) But we mean to alter the thing altogether. We are in a bad and noisy neigh bourhood, your lordship ; consider that. The Lord Mayor--I do. Remove from it, and you will have the credit of changing its character. Mrs. M`Laughlin— We will, my lord. I'll take him away and you shall never be more troubled with him. The Lord Mayor—Both of you are bound over to keep the peace towards each other and the rest of her Majesty's subjects for six calender months, in the sum of 101. One of the officers said the male defendant had been paying his addresses to the daughter of his wife by her late husband, about a week before his marriage ; but the prudent mother said to him, " No, you are toe great a fool for her, I'll have you myself;" and so it happened. LAMBETH.—THE ASSAULT AT BEULAH SPA.—M r. Francis Robert Newton was brought up from Horse monger-lane Prison, and Mr. William Philip Newton, his brother, surrendered in discharge of his bail, to be further examined on the very serious charge, as it is much feared it will be, of assaulting Mr. Stewart Ker, at the pleasure grounds at Beulah Spa, on Friday after noon last. Previous to the case being called on, Mr. Edwin James entered the Court ; but it was found that the learned gentleman attended not as an advocate, but to give evidence. Mr. Wontner observed that such was the present state of the suffering gentleman, Mr. Ker, that he did not think it necessary to have a fresh certificate from his medical attendants, nor could the medical gentlemen attend without violating important engagements. It was his (Mr. Wontner's) intention to have requested his worship to attend at the bedside of Mr. Ker, and taken down his statement of the violent outrage and attack ; but the fact was, that the unfortunate gentleman was in such a helpless state as to be totally incapable of hearing and speaking, and, therefore, it would be perfectly use less to trouble his worship. He (Mr. Wontner) would merely request that Mr. Edwin James, who was a per sonal friend of Mr. Ker, and who had seen that gentle man on that morning, might be sworn, and after hearing his testimony as to the state the unfortunate sufferer was in, it would be for his worship to say what further course he should adopt with respect to the accused party. Mr. Edwin James, who was accommodated with a seat on the bench, was here sworn, and said he was a personal friend of Mr. Stewart Ker, and had known that gentleman for abput three years. He had seen Mr. Ker at his own house that morning, and he was'in such a state of unconsciousness that he did not know even his own wife. He could not move his hands, or speak, or even open his month ; and as far as he (Mr. James) could venture to say, his opinion and belief was that lie was in imminent danger. He also believed, from his a;ipearance, that Mr. Ker was suffering from severe inju ries of the brain. There was a fixed and glassy stare of the eyes, and he (Mr. James) believed that he would not recover. (Mr. Elliot--He is insensible, I suppose. Mr. James—Yes, perfectly so; and he does not ap pear to hear anything. Was he but able to hear, and even write on a slate answers to questions put to him, it i was my intention, Mr. Elliott, to have asked you to be so good as to attend and take down the statement made by him in reference to this charge, but it would be perfectly useless to attempt it in his present state. I believe him to be perfectly incapable of feeling pain, which I fear is a bad symptom ; for on placing my hand to the back part of his neck, where there has been a blister since yes terday morning, and pressing it, he did not evince the slightest pain. He (Mr. James) had not seen the medical men who was in attendance on Mr. Ker. The attorney to the accused parties here said that Mr. Newton, sen., had seen the medical gentlemen who signed the former certificate, and they informed him that Mr. Ker was much better, and that the more serious symptom had abated. Mr. Elliott observed that he must have testimony on oath before him of that face prior to his making any alteration in his decision, and again remanded the ac cused, as on the day preceding. FATAL ACCIDENT ON THE NORTH-LONDON RAILWAY.-THIRTY PERSONS INJURED. Another of those dreadful railway catastrophes which so often occur from the reprehensible practice of running heavy goods trains close after and before passenger ones happened late on Monday night on the North London (Camden-town) Railway, which, we regret to say, re sulted in the death of an engine-driver, serious if not fatal injury to one or two more of the company's ser vants, and injuries to a number of the passengers. It appears that some two or three hours previous to the accident occurring all traffic on the down line had been closed in consequence of a break-down ofone of the trains near Kingsland, through the tire of a wheel coming off,, and throwing the carriage off the rail. It was then about twenty minutes to eleven o'clock, the time that the ten o'clock passenger train' nut from Fenchurch street was about due at that very spot. The guard, knowing this, got out of his break and proceeded back towards Kingsland, with his signal light and some fog signals, to warn the approaching train from London ; but almost immediately after he was surprised at seeing his own (the goods) train coming back down the incline at a fast speed and pass him, which he at the time sup posed to have arisen from a portion of the train having broken away from the Coupling, as it had done previously. Unfortunately, in this section of the line there is a sharp curve, and being in a deep cutting, there are several bridges, which altogether tend to prevent the approach of trains on either rail being seen more than 200 or 300 yards off. Already had the passenger train left Kings land station, and was approaching the curve at a rate of probably twenty miles an hour, when the three red tail lights of the hindermost carriage (the break) of the goods train came suddenly upon the view. The thought in stantly occurred to the unfortunate driver, John Allen, and the stoker of the passenger engine, that some part of the "goods" had broken away, and were coming down upon them, and that eventually he would be able to check them in their progress. There is little doubt, however, that the poor fellows did not anticipate the whole train, as they could easily have escaped by jump ing off. On observing the lights, Allen sounded the whistle to signalise the guards, shut off the steam, and reversed the engine ; but scarcely had that been accora• plished before the goods dashed into them with fright. ful force, the crash of which was distinctly heard at both of the adjacent stations. The effect was, peovidentially, most extraordinary. Deplorable as the consequences were, it is somewhat marvellous how the passenger train, filled as it was by some hundreds, escaped ; for, considering the almost overwhelming heavy power of the receding luggage train, it is a matter of surprise it did not cut right through it. and so involve a sail sad sacrifice of life. The tender of the passenger engine, which was first, was smashed ; the break van of the goods and a waggon were broken to pieces and driven under the engine. The scene that ensued amongst the terrified passengers may possibly be conceived. Although none of the carriages had sustained any material damage, yet the force of the concussion threw the passengers with great violence against each f r o e r e the econ fatetu e o i o f n t s h e a n d d r i bleeding s f t a o c k e e s r ; w be e i o t th w e a r s , and som e m t a im ny e of the passenger train could be ascertained, as also tho se ie the bre a k o f the goods. At length the subsidence o f the steam from the shattered engine allowed a search to be made, and among the broken fragments of the tender was found the stoker, John Blencowe, who was most shockingly scalded. Nothing could be seen of the driver. F rom t h e rema i ns o f t h e b rea k van were got out two m en , bl ee di ng, apparen tly d ea d. Th ey were the assistant guards, named Richard Nation and James Waygood. These unfortunate fellows, with the stoker, were without loss of time placed upon hurdles, and taken with 01l possible despatch to the German hospital at Dalston. The search was continued for the driver, but it was not until the arrival of another engine, which was set to work to remove the wreck from the disabled engine, that the poor creature was discovered. His body was found bent on the fire-plate in front of the fur nace of his engine, apparently scalded and burnt to I wag:then instituted 'as to the cause of the luggage train rittfiriiiiirthYein the incline. • It appeared ' that the drivers of the two engines, finding that they could not get the steam up in sufficient power to bring up the train, improperly unhooked the engines from the trucks for the purpose of setting the pumps at work so as to throw water into the boilers, and so create steam. Whether, when they did so, they were aware of being in the incline, and its character, is yet to be ascertained; however, on detaching the engines, the train of waggons instantly shot away from them down the gradient at a sharp rate. It so happened that the only break in the train was that in the rear, which at the time contained, in addition to the above two men, Mr. Rowdon, foreman of Messrs. Chaplin and Horne's goods department, and another man. Nation and Waygood (assistant guards), perceiving the rapid retrograde movement of the train, applied all their power to the break. It had no effect, however, and while they were working at it they saw the passenger train coming up. Rowdon and the other man managed to escape by jumping off, but the guards scarcely knew what to do for the belt, and i❑ a few moments were crushed in the wreck of the collision, as before narrated. On the unfortunate sufferers reaching the German Hospital they were immediately attended by Dr. Ranke, the medical officer of the institution. The two assistant guards, Nation and Waygood, somewhat rallied. it was found that the former had sustained a severe laceration on the head, and other injuries about the body. Way good had his left ear torn off, severe laceration of the scalp, and was seriously cut and bruised about the body. The Injuries of the other sufferer, Blencowe, were of a more alarming character. The whole of his lower ex tremities are frightfully scalded, and the report of the medical officer speaks doubtfully of his recovery. The deceased engine•driver, John Allen, was one of the most steady and experienced drivers on the line, and was much respected among all classes employed on and frequenting the line. He has left a widow and three children. The accident has caused much sensation in the districts traversed by the line, the practice of running the heavy goods and coal trains between the quarter-of•au-hour passenger trains having long formed the topic of conver sation and censure among the travellers. Yesterday the usual notice of the accident was for warded to the railway department of the Board of Trade, and it is anticipated that the Government inspector will institute an inquiry into the facts. The coroner's in quest on the body of the engine•driver has not yet been appointed. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. BETTING AT MANCHESTER.—ThESDAY.
