IMPORTANT TO THE PUBLIC.—At will have been Per:
ceived by our advertising columne, Mr. Maguire, for 01111,
years connected with the Liverpool police, has opened 0°
offiee for conducting private inquiries, and attending 1°
cases of ah:cending debtor. Having had exneriencet
lengthened and extensive, in matters of this kind, as 013
old dctective•cfficer, and being a gentleman of antive
business habits, honour, an -1 rectitude, per,ons
occasion for the services of a party such as Mr. Maguire, 1315,1
rely that he will attend to their business with premntittlaei
fidelity, and zeal. F. r these considerations, we fee
pleasure in recommending Mr. Maguire to public patron'
age and support.
On Saturday last, the tradesmen, &c., in the employ'
went of Messrs. Walkers, Birkenhead, paid a vieite to lu'r
Art Treasures Exhibition. The party, on arriving at 1114
terminus, proceeded to Manchester to see the town--tvi
housewife of the world—with her enormous mills, CIL
palatial warehouses, and pablic buildings—none of tu"
latter, however, approaching to our own princely St'
George's Hall. After refreshing the inner mar, the I°l
journey from the Mersey having considerably exhausted
their energies, they spent the remainder of the day eniolial
fully " a feast of reason and flow of soul." at Old Trafferu'e
Treasures of Art and Industry. And in good time the 03113
evening, the party returned to Birkenhead, highly delighted
with the day's instruction and amusement.
NOVEL ATTEMPT AT StfiClDE.—One of the ?Aran:feel, eases
of attempted self-destruction we have heard of for a logo
time, took place on Tuesday evening. At present We t
not give the name of the person, for clear reas ens, among
which may be stated that the case has not been brone'.lo
before the public, and in the second place, dorne°d
bickerings (which are sure to follow) might be auatnentes
by such publication. The f els are these. The wife ofe,
man—probably the commander of a ship—who is at Prat
sent absent, had acted in such an equivocal manner tb t
her conduct became the subject of conversation atn°llo,l
her neighbours, in the locality where she resides,
in some resre ctable street in the Park. The tual,..e.
coming to the ears•of her husband's mother, that 1014
became naturally alarmed and indignant about her sone,

coenea of what she had assert deed. She spoke to
daughter-in-law on the subject, and intimated that 0.0
would inform her son on his return to this country. 'f,,11,1t

she ran about in a state of the utmost excitement, a",

A YOUNG WIPE ATTEMPTING TO POISON, HERSEY'',
At the Leeds Court House, on Thursday, Phoebe Th°ll2o`;
son, an interesting woman about 22, was brought uP nd
this charge. It appeared that her husband, a joiner 5,0 r
cabinet maker, had been in the habit of leaving ber 'air
several weeks at a time, and recen.ly he took away 'bpchild,
child, a boy of three year.,,, and refused to tell his 15, tit
what had become of him. This so preyed upon her tag
that she was afraid the child was dead and after 08'10
repeated applidations as to its whereabouts, in vair44s
took a quantity of poison. Dr. Craig stated that be, al

UNITED STATES, &c,

By the Indian we have advices from New York
to the 14th instant.

The intelligence from Washington is not of the
least importance:
Advices from St. Pau!, Minnesota, to the 9th
instant, are to hand.
In the Democratic Constitution Convention Judge
Eherburn offered a resolution providing for the appoint-
ment of a Committee of Conference to wait upon a similar
committ e aninietal by the Republicans, in order to effect
a compromise for the nibmisii. n of but one constitution
to the ne, ple. After an animated debite, the proposition
Was voted down by three majority, The subj is to come
vp again o. Monday, when the resolution will probably be
adopted. Little Crow and his band of warriors had
returned from the exrdition in search of Ink pa du-tab.
They found his camp, and killed four of his band cf
murderers. Little Crow brought the scalps of the slain
to the superintendent of the Lower Sioux agency. A band
of fttteet) disaffected Chippevirks was plundering the settlers
fifty males north of St. Paul.
We have San Francisco dates to the 20th inst.
The Californian people were taken up with politi-
cal matters. The 4th of July, independence day,
was celebrated. with great splendour in San
. Francisco.

Mining a-lateen, as usual possess much interest. New
discoveries of placer claims and vartz veins are constantly
being made iu all parts of the mining regions. Fluming
operators on the streams are progressing rapidly and
favoura%iy, as the waters are nearly down to the summer
level, thus enabling the miner to easily drain the bed of
the river. Agricultural prospects are good, and the crops
of grain are being harvested in excellent condition in most
of the counti 8, despite the unprecedented drought which has
prevailed. Much attention has been paid to gardening in
the interior counties, and already many of the mining pm-
eincts are supplied with fruit and vegetables grown in the
immediate vicirity. Peaches, pears, plums, apricots,
apples, grapes, and berries, all of Calif ernia growth, are to
be had at reasonable rates. Some disturbances are re-
ported as having taken place amongst the Pitt river
Indians in Siski3ou county, but they can be traced to no
reliable source. The Finance Committee, appointed to
examine the books of the late County Treasurer, R. E.
Woods, discovered on the 6.h instant another defalcation
of £ll,OOO dollars, money paid to the treasurer by the
auctioneer for State duties in the month of December,
1855. The treasurer and his deputy are unable to
explain the matter.
The San Joaquin Republican mentions a terrible
accident which occurred in Tuolumne County,
by the bursting of the great reservoir of the
Tuolumne County Water Company.
This resorvoir is situated in the mountains, four miles
above Pine Log Crossing, on the Stanislaus. When it
bursted, the vast body of water, rushing with fearful v,)l1•
city toward the river, carried everything beere it. It is
not ktifwn whether any lives were lost between the
reservoir and the river, but at Pine Log four men were
lost, and at Italian Bar, twenty miles below the reservoir,
twelve more are said to have been carried away. The
destruction of property on the river is immense—every-
thing within reach of the resistless tide having been swept
off, and ditches and claims being filled up.
The British mail steamer Trent, with dates from
San Juan del Norte of the 2nd, reached Aspinwall
on the 3rd instant.

In Nicaragua quiet is the order of the day, and affairs
are assuming a healthy tore. The two dictators, Martinez
and Jerrz, called the Senate together on the sfh ultimo,
which a.sernbled at Manogua. The affairs appertaining
to the transit and boundary question with Costa Rica met
with
a happy and satisfactory' adjusimeat—the Senate
giving its cordial adhesion to the tratsit contract and
trewy proposed by President Mora on behalf of his uvert-
anent. Gee. Canas visited Greytown on the 18th ult., and
was received with all honours by the United States sloop
Sarato,a. Canas returned to Nicaragua. Mr. Carey
Jones' mis-40n to Costa Rica proves of a most friendly
character. Ile was still at San Jose on the 25th ult.
Captain Canty, in return, is accredited by P•esident Mora
to Washington, and goes to New York by steamship
Central America. Two hundred and fifty of Walker's men
are now in Greytown in a very destitute condition, they
having been brought from Costa Rica in expectation of
finding the steamship Tennessee in readiness to convey
them to New York. Col. Canty remains at Greytown
with a force of 250 Costa Ricans.
" The existing state of affairs in the State of
Panama is," says the Panama Star, of the 4th inst.,
"truly lamentable, and must be viewed by every
honest, upright citizen with feelings of shame and
regret."
From the Chamber of Representatives down to the
lowest court of justice, intrigues., abuses, and illegalities
are carried on, such as in no country in the world, claiming
to rank as civilised, would be permitted to exist. It is
only necessary to read the remitidos in the journals pub-
lished in this city to be made aware to what an extent
corruption has spread throughout the length and breadth
of the land. The Supreme Court, the Criminal Cour, the
Administrators of the Public I une.s, the cal-n Los, the
police—all are in turn exposed by parties who have
suffered from the non-administrators of justice and the
subversion of evory tight guaranteed to them by the con-
stitulion and the laws.
A Panama correspondent, writing on the 4th,
says :

The national Congress at Bogota, previous to adjourning,
passed aliw relative to " security and she administration of
national affairs on the isthmus," which, it strikes me, will
-'tend to render the settlement of the Isthmus question more
complicated, as it introduces new elements and opens up
-again in the most decided manner the question of the passen-
ger and tonnage tax, against which, as your readers are
-aware, the United Etai.es Government has already taken a
decided stand. The following is a summary of this new law:
—A federal offi.er, named an " Intendente General," is to
'be appointed, whose duty will be to look after the security
and protection of foreigners and their interests, in accord-
=ance with public treaties and the common rights of nations;
to control all the national property in the State, and
snake provision for the defence of the territory and the
'national sovereignty in the State. The general government
to organise a police force and nominate the captains of
the ports of Panama and Aspinwall ; it is to support an
army sufficiently strong to protect the Territory in case of
-internal disturbances. filibusterism or invasion, and a
tribunal dependent on the Supreme Court of the nation is
to be established. This court is to have power to decide
questions relative to foreigners passing over the railroad,
and also any pAnts that may arises regarding the interpola-
tion of the of the railway company's contract. To defray
the expenses incurred by this law, the 50,600 dols granted
last year to the State (which gift is rev,ked) is to be applied,
together with the tonnage tax; the passenger contribution,
levied on all who cross the railroad, (provided that the
railroad company permit its collection, fur which they are
to be made a corresponding concession) ; one half of the
imp-at duties, which are to be laid on, provided the State
Legislature gives its consent ; and, if necessary, the forced
contribution lately decreed in the State of Panama of
20,000 dots. This law has given universal dissatisfaction
here, both to the natives and foreigners, and there are so
many objections to its going into operation that 140 not
think it can be enforced. The Panamenos complain
bitterly, and with justice, tbat the law is in violation of
their t'tate eights, and that in practice it will give rise to
innumerable conflicts between the State and federal
*authorities, while in taking away from them the g ant of
-5000 dols. and one-half of the customs duties. it leaves
no revenue to meet the State expenses. The foreigners.
en the other hand, object to the law, because, whi'e it
gives them no more protection than they are justly
entitled to from the hands both of the State and federal
government, it throws the whole cost of supporting these
Lew cffieale—the police and the army—on them,
and imposes the tonnage and passenger tax, the two ob-
noxious contributions out cf which all the questions now
pending between the United States and New Granada
have arisen.
We have Sandwich Island dates to' the 27th of
June. The only item of interest is respecting
the HawaliAn Missionary Society :
This society has been chneercd by the government. The
Commercial Advertiser say :—Some .change in relation
existing betweea she American Board of Missions end the
Sandwich Islands Alission has been sought for years by
the fernier, but the difficulty of fixing on any satisfactory
mode bas as yet prevented such a chance. It is proposed
now by the par-ent society, t- make the Hawaiian
Nis:loner), Society
executive or agent in disbursing the
funds, which have heretofore been given directly to its
missionaries. The Hawaiian Missionary :-.ociety will then
beecme the guardi.in of the American snission.ries on this
group, as well as those etationed in Mictozesia and the
Marquesas. The Sandwich ',lands Mission
is becoming
every year less depern'ent for its ant,port on the American
society, and will evertually be disconnected from it.

north of Caldera, previous to the lit of July. Mrs.
Mounsey, the captain's wife, and eleven hands were
