The United States Senate has made some amend-
ments to the treaty negotiated lv Lord Clarendon
and Mr. Dallas, and after discussing it for several
days in secret session it was ratified as amended on
the 14th inst. The amendments, which of course
must now be submitted to the British government,
are, it is generally believed, confined to the non-
recognition of certain grants of land made by the
British consul in the name of the Mosquito Bing;
to a more precise delineation of the boundaries of
certain lands reserved for the Mosquito Indians;
and to striking out the qualifications attached to the
act of cession of the Bay Islands by Great Britain to
Honduras. The great principles of the treaty—
namely, the renunciation by Great Britain of all
claim to territorial sovereignty in Central America,
with the exception of the Belize; the acknowledg-
ment of the nglit of the Republic of Honduras to
the peaaession of the Bay Islands, and the protecto-
rate of the Mosquito Indians, are in no way dis-
turbed by the proposed amendments.
On the 16th, Lord Napier was introduced to the
President by General Casa, and presented his cre-
dentials as minister from England.
Lord Napier, In addressing the President as the Envoy of
her Britannic Majesty, said he was intruded to convey to
him the earnest desire maintained by the Queen to preserve
and advance on all occasions the interests and happiness of
the people of England and America, which are no deeply in-
volved In their amitieLk• intercourse end to manifest to him
the hearty good wishes which her Majesty cherishes for the
prosperity of the United States. He ventured to coVat:
the Precedent on his secession to the highest elective 't in
this countryand the world, Paying: coMay youeujoy it in
pease, Red ever-ineressing honour, and may the period of your
government be distinguisched by all the featured of public web!
tare. Permit me (lee continued) to express to you my grafi-
fiation in bring selected to renew and avow at Washington
those relations of international friendship which have beet so
ally sustained by your representative in London. This em-
potent and grateful duty might have been committed to
others IMMO capable of doing justice to the sentiments o
benevoknec which animate my sovereign, her ministers, and
every order of her subjects; but no one could approach your
excellency with greeter respect for your person sad your
elate, or warmer good will to the American people."
Lord Napier then delivered the credential letter which her
Majesty had been graciously pleased to entrust to hie care.
The President, in reply, offered to Lord Napier a hearty
welcome as Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipo-
tentiary from her Britannic Majesty to the United Steep.
Your sovereign (he mid), I am convinced, could not have
selected a more acceptable representative than yourself to
renew three relations of international friendship which, I
trust, may never hereafter he interrupted. The earned and
gracious desire expressed by her Majesty to preserve and ad-
vance upon all taxernons the interest and happiness of Eng-
land and AITICTION and the hearty good wishes which her
Majesty cherishes for the prosperity of tbo United States, are
cordially reciprocated on my part, and will elicit an enthusiastic
reSpollne from the bents of the American Teeple. No Inde-
pendent powers have ever been bound together by material
interests of such magnitude as those which bind Great Britain
and the United States. Indeed, the prosperity of the one is
necessarily involved in that of the other; but mutual inte-
rests, however vast, without mutual regard, are not always
sufficient to preserve friendship between nations. How
happy, then, am Ito reed,» the assurance that your sove-
reign, her ministers, and every order of her subjects are ani-
mated by sentiments of benevolence towards the government
and people of the United States. During my administration
it shall be my agreeable duty as well WI my earned desire to
increase the friendship and mutual goodelll now en happily
subsiating between the two countries, and to render these
sentiments strong and enduring. With such sincere and
haute:lt dispoeitioun on both sides, should difficulties ever
arise between the two governments, these will be easily ad-
justed in • spirit of mutual forbearance and conestreion. I
return your lordship my thsnka for your kind expressions
and wishes in reference to myself, and feel confident that in
our future intercourse we shall proceed harmoniously and
satisfactorily in did-harping our respective duties.
It is understood that Mr. Buchanan is favourable
to the reinstatement of Mr. Barclay, late British
Consul at New York.
The details of the dreadful railroad accident near
Hamilton (Canada), including the names of those
identified, are given in another column. There were,
it is supposed, between seventy-five and one hundred
passengers in the cars, but fifteen of whom were
taken out alive, and of these five died of their in-
juries soon after being rescued.
Another dreadful railroad accident, though less
destructive, has occurred. It happened on the 13th
inst. on the Pennsylvania Railroad, at 'Altoona sta-
tion. An emigrant train standing on the track was
run into by a heavy freight train, crowding the
rear car into the our beisre it, and causing the
instant death of six of the passengers, and muti-
lating ten or twelve others.
