DIPLOMACY has to encounter

old foes—truth

and common sense—in America,- as well as at

home. President PIERCE, in his Message to Con-

gress, on the Central American question, gives a

plain and unvarnished narrative of his Govern-
ment's policy and acts with regard to that
"important" region. He asks nothing for the States

but a simple right of way across the territories it
embraces, and this right he extends to the trade
and citizens of every other nation. Ho has not
recognised the Government of WALKER or his
followers, but the de facto Presidency of RIVAS, who

s de jure the President of the Republic of

citizens werein imminent danger; and, accordingly,
the Cabinet of Washington received Padre VI.TIL as
the representative of the Government established
by President RIVAS.

General WALKER'S name is not once mentioned
in the Message. WALKER and his folloWers, it is
true, were engaged on the side of RIVAS ; but if
the opposite party had sent a fit and proper
person to represent them at the American capital,
he would have been received and RIVAS'S rejected.

This being the statement for which tho veracity of

the Union is pledged, we cannot question the good
faith and perfect impartiality with which the
Cabinet have acted. No claim is set up to any
rights of sovereignty over any portion of Central
America. Desirous to unite their Pacific States
and territories with those of the Atlantic, they
secured by treaty the right of transit, by land and
sea, through the Central American Republics. In

these treaty privileges Great Britain was invited

to participate, and a convention was entered into
between the American and British Governments,
"to assure," as the Message states

" the

condition of such neutrality, the al

LIVERPOOL, MONDAY EVENING

The chief topic on 'Change to-day has been the
state of the relations between the Governments of
Great Britain and the United States ; but the
general opinion seemed to be that an amicable
adjustment would be arrived at, and hence the
advices per the America had less influence upon
trade than Might have been expected. The Cotton
Market wast quiet, and the sales did not exceed
B,ooo—bides, of which 1,000 only were taken on
speculation. Prices were very firm.

A moderate amount of business has been
done in Shores at the following quotations :

however, the epidemic is still raging, and no hands are to
be got to unhusk the Paddy. The great native holidays
commenced on the 9th inst., which will last about a fort-
night, during which time very little rice is generally
brought for sale. Since departure .of last mail prices

Geelong Wharf, 50s to 70s. Adelaide, 35s to 40s.
The weekly trade report from Havre, at the close
of -Saturday, states that the cotton market con-
tinued steady, but sales were limited-to a few hun-
dred bales Louisiana, at 831 50c for very low sorts,
89f for low, 60f very ordinary, and 102 f per 50 kilos
for ordinary, being an improvement upon the
previous week's rates. The total sales fer the
'..eek, of all sorts, comprised 5,687 bales. Arrivals,
6,455 bales. Stock on hand on the 20th May,
122,122 bales, against 98,370 bales in 1855. The
quantity received from the United States in'lBs6
was 48,188 bales, and the number of vessels arrived
from thence at the port of Havre only eight,
against twenty-seien during the corresponding
period last year. Trade generally was brisk,
without any large transactions taking place.

Accounts from Odessa to the 16th May report
an active market for wool, with a further improve.
merit in prices. About 4,000 poods of fine qualities
in grease of the new clip has been bought at the
rate of 30 roubles 45 kopecks. Donakoi white
washed wools have been in demand at 22 roubles,
but the sellers have been standing out for higher
prices; which the buyers are not inclined to give,
consequently they have been consigned to order.
In the export market for grain an increased trade

rumours relating
_to the misunderstanding with
the United States. Apprehensions that Mr.
Crampton will be dismissed from Washington
caused afresh fall of 1 per cent this morning, but
at a later period of the day there was a disposition
to believe that even these events would not be
attended with serious consequences. After attain
ing a recovery of H to 1 per cent from the lowest
point, they finally closed the same as on Saturday,
the quotations being 94f 94a. The various Stock
Exchange Markets retain a firm basis, owing to the
favourable aspect of monetary affairs. Money
continues in good demand, at about .5 per cent on
good bills. In addition to the mass of mercantile
liabilities maturing on the 14th inst, the Consols
settlement takes place on that day. At Paris to-
day the Rentes closed fully per cent below the
final quotations of Saturday. The Railway Share
Market this morning showed heaviness, and
declined with Consols. Subsequently a rally took
place, and the closing quotations were in most cases
about the same as those of Saturday. They stood as

ROYAL COLLEGE OE SURGEONS. The following gentle-
man having undergone the necessary examinations for the
diploma was admitted a member of the college at the meeting
of the court of examiners on the 30th inst. : —Mr. Thomas
Pemberton Simpson, Falkner-square, Liverpool.
CORONERS oOURT.—Yesterday, the coroner, Mr. Curry,
held inquests on the bodies of the following persons :
James Green, aged 48 years, a sailor on board one of the
flats, belonging to the Bridgewater trustees, who fell into
the river on the 30th of April, while in a state of intoxi-
cation, and was drowned, but his body was not found
until Saturday last. :Verdict, accidental death. John
Hartness, a boiler maker, who, on Saturday last, fell from
the flank of 'the steam tug pilot. The deceased in this
case, was also in a state of intoxication at the time of the
accident. • Also. on the body.. of a female child, found in a
midden, but. Whose parents was not known. In accord-
ance with .the evidence.. the surgeon, a verdict of died
from suffocation, but how produee,l, was not known, was
returned. • George Pope,- a sailor, lodging at a boarding-
house near Mersey-street, who 'die,l from the effects Of
drinking• a pint of gin at a liquor vaults, kept by a per-
son untried Flynn. Verdict, died from excessive

drinking.
CAUTION- •TO JUVENILES. - Yesterday, a number o
youths, some of whom were of rather tender age, were
brought before Mr. S. llolme, at the police court, on
charges of thioWinvtones in various streets within the
borough. The magistrate, in each case, explained to the
of&nders the danger of such amusements, and after duly
cautioning tbem as to their future conduct, discharged
them, at *the same time observing that,' froni the injury
to limb' and property by such practices, he would, in
future, severely punish any such offenders. The above,
no doubt, is a great nuisance, and attended with much
danger in a town where the juvenile population is so large,
arid which it •is difficult- for the police to prevent, but
there are other offences equally, if not more annoying, to
the respectable portien of the inhabitants, which the
police have :the power, by a little extra exertions, of pre-
venting, or at least mitigating. We allude to the practice
of a nunaber.of lads—some of them belonging to that use-
ful class, the shoe-black—being permitted to assemble at
the corners of streets, on the Sunday, and amuse them-
selves by playing a.tpitch and toss, while almost fabulous
sums of coppers change hands. What is most annoying
- -.nem), public is, the disgraceful and disgusting
is used by the young gamblers. If the
pOfce authorities would look to this matter,' the public,
particularly the female portion, would be relieved from a
grievous nuisance._
