SHIP CANAL BETWEEN THE
ATLANTIC AND PACIFIC OCEANS.
Convention between her Majesty and the United
Sates of Am•rica, relative to the Establishment of
a Communication by Ship Canal between the At.
'antic and Pacific Oceans. Signed at Washington,
Ai ril 19, 1850. Ratifications exchanged at Wash-
ington, July 4, 1850.
H r Britannic Majesty and the United States of
America being desirous of consolidating the relations
of amity which so happily subsist between them, by
setting forth and fixing in a convention their views
and intentions with reference to any means of com-
munication by ship canal, which may be constructed
betty( en the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, by the way
of the River St. Juan de Nicaragua, and either or
both of the lakes c f Nicaragua or Managua, to any
port or place on the Pacific Ocean.
Her Britannic Majesty has coaferred full powers
on the Right lion. Sir Henry Lyme) Bulwer, a
member of her Majesty's Must Honourable Privy
Council, Knight Commander of the Most Ilonourable
Order of the Bath, and Envoy Extraordinary and
Minister Plenipotentiary of her Britannic Majesty to
tl,e United States ; and the President of the United
States, on J. M. Casyton, Secretary of State of the
United States, for the aforesaid purpose ; and the
said plenipOtentiaries having exchanged their full
powers, which were found to be in proper form, have
agreed to the following articles :
Art. 1. The Gavernments of Great Britain sad the
United States hereby declare that neither the one nor
the other will ever obtain or maintain for itself any
exclusive control over the said ship canal; agreeing
that neither will ever erect or maintain any fortifica-
tions commanding the same, or in the vicinity thereof,
or occupy, or fortify, or colonise, or assume, or exer-
cise any dominion over Nicaragua, Costa Rica, the
Mosquito Coast, or any part of Central America ;
nor will either make use of any protection which
either affords, or may afford, or any alliance, which
either has, or may have, to or with any state or
people, for the purpose of erecting or maintaining any
such fortifications, or of occupying, fortifying, or
colonizing Nicaragua, Costa Rica, the Mosquito
Coast, or any part of Central America, or of assum-
ing or exercising dominion over the same. Nor will
Great Britain or the United States tbke advantage of
any intimacy, or use any alliance, connexion, or in-
fluence that either may possess with any state or
Government through whose territory the said canal
may pass, for the purpose of acquiring or holding,
directly or indirectly, for the subjects or citizens of
the one, any rights or advantages in regard to com-
merce or navigation thPeough the said canal, which
shall not be offered, on the same terms, to the sub-
jects or citizens of the other.
Art. 2. Vessels of Great Britain or the United
States traversing the said canal. shall, in case of war
between the contracting parties, be exempted from
blockade, detention, or capture by either of the belli-
gerents ; and this provision shall extend to such a
distance from the two ends of the said canal as may
hereafter be found expedient to establish.
Art. 3. In order to secure the construction of the
said canal, the contracting parties engage that if any,
such canal shall be undertaken upon fair and equit-
able terms by any parties having the authority of the
Local Government or Governments through whose
territory the same may pass, then the persons em-
ployed in making the said canal, and their property
used or to be used far that object, shall be protected,
from the commencement of the said canal to its com-
pletion, by the Governments of Great Britain and the
United States, from unjust detention, confiscation,
seizure, or any violence whatsoever.
Art. 4. The contracting parties will use whatever
influence they respectively exercise with any state,
states, or governments possessing, or claiming to pos-
sess, any jurisdiction or right over the territory which
the said canal shall traverse, or which shall be near
the waters applicable thereto in order to induce such
states or governments to facilitate the construction of
the said canal by every means in their power; and,
furthermore, Great Britain and the United States
agree to use their good offices, wherever or however
it may be most expedient, in order to procure the es-
tablishment of two free ports, one at each end of the
said canal.
Art. 5. The contracting parties further engage
that when the said canal shall have been completed
they will protect it from interruption, seizure, or un-
just confiscation, and that they will guarantee the
neutrality thereof, so that the said canal may for ever
be open and free, and the capital invested therein se-
cure. Nevertheless, the Governments of Great
Britain and the United States, in according their pro-
tection to the construction of the said canal, and
guaranteeing its neutrality and security when com-
pleted, always understand that this protection and
guarantee are granted conditionally, and may be
withdrawn by both Governments, or either "..lativern-
men', if both Governments or either Government
should deem that the persons or company undertaking
or managing the same adopt or establish such regula-
tioes concerning the trsffie thereupon, as are contrary
to the spirit and intention of this convention ; either
by making unfair discriminations in favour of the
commeree of one cf the contracting parties over the
commerce of the other, or by oppo,ing oppressive ex-
actions or unreasonable tolls upon passengers, vessels,
goods, wares, merchandise, or other article,. Nei-
ther party, however, shall wivhdraw the aforesaid pro-
tection and guaranty e without first giving six
months' notice to the other.
Art. 6. The contracting parties in this convention
engage to invite every state with which both or
either have friendly intercourse, to enter into stipu-
lations
with them similar to those which they have
entered into with each other, to the end that all other '
states may share in the honour and advantage of
having contributed to a work .of such general inte-
rest and importance as the canal herein contemplated;
and the contracting parties likewise agree that each
shall enter into treaty stipulations with such of the
Central American states as they may deem advisable,
for the purpose of more effectually carrying out the
great design of this convention—namely, that of con-
structing and maintaining the said canal as a ship
communication between the two oceans fur the bene-
fit of mankind, on equal terms to all, and of protect-
ing the same ; and they also agree that the good
offices of tither shall be employed when requested by
the other, in aiding and assisting the negotiation of
such treaty stipulations ; and should any differences
arise as to right or property over the territory
through which the said canal shall pass, between the
states or governments of Central America, and such
differences should in any way impede or obstruct the
execution of the said canal, the Governments of Great
Britain and the United States will use their good
offices to settle such differences in the manner best
suited to promote the interests of the said canal, and
to strengthen the bonds of friendship and alliance
which exist between the contracting parties.
Art. 7. It being desirable that no time should be
unnecessarily lost in commencing and constructing
the said canal, the Governments of Great Britain and
the United States determine to give their support and
encouragement to such persons or company as may
first offer to commence the same, with the necessary
capital, the consent of the local authorities, and on
such principles as accord with the spirit and intention
of this convention ; and if any persons or company
should already have, with any state through which
the proposed ship canal may pass, a contract. for the
construction of such a canal as that specified in this
convention, to the stipulations of which contract
neither of the contracting parties in this convention
have any just cause to object, and the said persons or
company shall, moreover, have made preparations and
expended time, money, and trouble, on the faith of
such contract, it is hereby agreed that such persons
or company shall have a priority of claim over every
other person, persons, or company, to the protection
of the Governments of Great Britain and the United
States, and be allowed a year, from the date of the
exchange of the ratifications of this convention, for
concluding their arrangements, and presenting evi-
dence of sufficient capital subscribed to accom-
plish the contemplated undertaking ; it being
understood that if, at the expiration of the
aforesaid period, such persons or company
be not able
.to commence and carry out the
proposed enterprise, then the Governments of Great
Britain and the United Stites shall be free to afford
their protection to any other persona or company that
shall be prepared to commence and proceed with the
construction of the canal in question.
Art. 8. The Governments of Great Britain and the
United States having not only desired, in entering
into this convention, to accomplish a particular ob•
ject, but also to establish a general principle, they
hereby agree to extend their protection by treaty
stipulations to any other practicable communications,
whether by canal or railway, across the isthmus which
connects North and South America ; and especially
to the inter-oceanic communications, should the same
prove to be practicable, whether by canal or railway,
which are now proposed to be established by the way
of Tehuantepec or Panama. In granting, however,
their joint protection to any such canals or railways
as are by this article specified, it is always under-
stool by Great Britain and the United States that the
parti, a constructing or owning the same shall impose
no o;her charges or condi'ions of traffic thereupon
than the afaresaid Governments shall approve of as
just and cquitab!e; and that the same canals or nil-
ways, being open to the subjects and citizens of Great
Britain and the United States on equal term*, shalt
also be open on like terms to the subjects and citizens
of every other state which is willing to grant thereto
, such protection as Great Britain and the United
States engage to afford.
Art. 9. The ratification of this convention shall
be exchanged at Washington within six months
from this day, or sooner if possible. In faith whereof
we, the respective plenipotentiaries, have signed this
convention, and have hereunto affixed our seals.
Done at Washington, the 19th day of April, anno
Domini 18.50. (Signed)

THE LADY OF MANY HUSBANDS.
An English lady, who has resided in Preis for
many years, and was for some time the leading !Aar
of fashion amongst us, had shared in the folly and
misfortune of many cf our fair countrywomen, and
loved and wedded a Frenchman of great accomplish..
ments, noble birth, and—no fortune. Some little
time after the marriage, however, the lady discerned
—what everybody else had known long before—that
while she had bestowed upon Count A— the whole
of her fortune, be could give in return only the half
of his affections, the other half being mortgaged to
the lively and fascinating D-- of the Varietes.
The fair lady insisted upon a separation, which, upon
being well paid, the husband consented to with ala-
cr►ty. Soon after this event blueing.. D-- of the
Varietes, re fleeting that virtue and reputation *T too
precious to be abandoned for nothing, renounced the
society of the Count for that of a rich berAter, Who
could offer better compensation fur the loss of the
world's esteem, and Monsieur ci'A—, in despair, t6t
sail fur the Brrzi!s Shortly after his departure Ma.,
dame d'A-- received the sad news of the less of the
vessel in which he had embarked, and in which
" every soul on board had perished." The lady is
handsome, (ley( r, and ambitious, and (after the usual
time fur retirement and " mourning") was not long in
securing the attentions of Lord whose im-
mense fortune and roving fancy have rendered him
the mark for the combined attacks of every European
mother and daughter for the last seven years. Tha
day was fixed for the marriage, the trousseau was
most magnificent, the wedding jewels superb as those
of a royal princess, everything, in short, served to
announce the generosity cf the bridegroom, and to
give fresh proofs of his enormous riches ; when, lo t
on the very morning which was to have beheld the
consummation of all his hopes, comes a letter from
Paraguay (not Peru, unfortunately) signed by the
undrowned Count A—, wherein he threatens the

lady with the law, and di dares that his eye is upon
her, and will be while he lives, wherever be may be.
The poor Countess fainted at the news. Lord W---
toil the railway, and is running about free and un-
fettered still. Three years have elapsed since this
adventure, when, last spring, news, fully confirmed
this time, officially reported too by the consul of some
unheard- of town on the coast of Mexico, once more
arrived of the demise of this tough, everlasting, inde-
structible husband. Thereupon the Countess sets
forth again in the matrimonial chase with' redoubled
vigour, and brings down another young Englishman
of 24 years of age, of good family and immense ex-
pectations. Some latent mistrust, however; on the
part of the lady, the fruit of ber past experience no
dotibt, induced her to keep the marriage secret until
it was fairly accomplished. It took place at the Ens-
bassy two months ago, and with the return of fortune,
station, and happiness, the quondam- Countess now
becomes plain Mrs. had resumed her old
dominion over the English world, and gave promise
of much goodly entertainment for her countrymen
during the coming winter. A large hotel in the
Champs Elytees had already been hired ; great balls
and concerts were already spoken of, when, jut as
we had made sure of much feasting and rejoicing at
Mr. W--'s expense, a dreadful report reaches
us and fi.ls us with dismay. Last Saturday morn-
ing, at eleven o'clock, a stranger, weary and toil-
worn, with muddy boots and broken hat—buttoned
up to the throat, as though evidently having nothing
to hide—entered the brilliant apartment where
the newly-married couple were enjoying their
golden honeymoon. No one was up to re-
ceive him, but he cared not, for breakfast
was spread upon the table, and he began to devout
every delicacy which was there to be found, without
choice or scruple. lie had scarcely finished, when
Mr.W—, attired in his morning gown and slippers,
entered the room, and bad no time to be astonished
at the appearance of the free and easy stranger, be-
cause he was immediately durnbfoundered by the ques-
tion of " Who are you ?" put to him by that cool
personage in the most natural manner possible. The
explanation which enqufd must have been the most
comical thing imaginable. " The Undying One,"
undrowned and unhung, had returned again to' chins
his dear wife. In vain Mr. attempted to show
fight ; he was treated throughout as a poor, untaught
stripling, with whom a man of Count A—'s experi-
ence and reputation would scorn to measure his
sword. He was advised by the injured husband,
"as a friend," to vacate the premises immediately,
and told that upon such condition alone would a pub-
lic esclandre been avoided. On reflection, Mr.
thought it most prudent to adopt this course, and
has returned to his father, whose joy is unbounded at
the catastrophe; while poor Madame d'A—remains
a close prisoner at the hotel.—Atlag.

SHOCKIN G ATTEMPT at MURDER.
On Saturday morning last a murderous assault was
committed by a wife upon her husband, in the usually
peace ful town of Gate-house-upon Fleet, which has natu-
rally produced a good deal of excitement in the locality.
As the ca'e is in the hluds of the proper authorities we .
retrain from ewering into details of the occurrence, but
may mention the following for the information of 11. e
public. About ten mouhs ago a medical man named
Mason commenced practice in Gatehouse. ffa had'sonie
years before practised in Dumfries, and afterwards te-
sidsd for three years on the eastern shores or the
terraces°, in the capacity, we believe, of a medical mis-
sionary. During that period he converted, or suppoord
he hed converted, a Jewess, about 30 years of age, rho
resided in Constantinople. lie brought her to this coun-
try. and she was baptised in the Free Church of Max-
welltown, as having embraced the tenets of the Christian •
faith. Dr. Mason immediately afterwards martial her,
and came to reside at Gatehouse, along with a son and
daughter by a former nivrringe. About seven o'clock
on Saturday morning last, when Dr. Mason was
dressing, his wife suddenly jumped out of bed and
attacked him in the most furious manner with some
sharp instrument— a razor, probably, or surgical instru-
ment—with which she it.flicted several severe wounds.
Ile wee& aded in rushing from the room, and ran into
another, where he fell down exhausted from the loss of
blood. An alarm was immediately given, and aid
afforded to the wounded man. On entering the room
where the assault t. ad been committed Mrs. Mason was
found sitting quietly in an apartment filled with smoke
proceeding from the bed, which she had set on fire.
The flames were with acme difficulty suppressed, and
her person secured. It was found that the unfortunate
man had received three wounds, each of a severe and
serious nature—one on the throat and jaw, which nar-
row ly missed the carotid artery; one upon the back of
the head; and klrightful gash on the arm above the wrist.
lie bas lost a great quantity of blood, and is in a very
dangerous state. An express was immediately dis-
patched to the authorities at Kirkcudbright, with infor-
mation of the eccurret.ce, and on their proceeding
to Gatehouse, the usual examination of the
circumstances was made, after which the ac-
cused party was sent to Kirkcudbright gaol.
We learn that the assault appears from various circum-
stances to have been premeditated, a formidable weapon
buying been found, apparently prepared for some mur-
derous purpose; and a large stone was discovered in the
bed on which the unhappy pair had slept during the
previous night. An attempt was also made, we under.
stand, upon the life of Dr. Mason's son, a young lad,
of er hi. f •ther had been wounded, which happily was
unsuccessful, the boy escaping uninjured. There are
various reports in circulation end surmises made as to
the motives which could have urged the commission of
this dreadful deed of violence, partly founded upon
statements made by the woman when in custody, and
also as to vs state of her mind, especially within the
last few weeks; but into these matters it would at pre-
' sent be premature to enter. Dr. Mason resides in a
house near the foot of the principal street of the town,
which he has occupied since Whit:n[3day. He is attended
' by the other medical men of the place, and is quite sen-
sible, though excessively week from loss of blood. On
' Sunday morning his case was considered to be more fa-
vourable.—Dumfries Courier, Aug. 20.

MOTET MARKET.—The premium on gold at Paris
is 81 per mille, which, at the English Mint price of
3/. 17s. 101 d. per ounce fur standard gold, gives an ex-
change of 25.36; and the exchange at Paris on London
at short being 25.30, it follows that gold is 024 per
a,nt, dearer in Paris than in London. By advicea from
Hamburgh the price of gold is 433; per mark, which,
at the English Mint price of 31. 17s. 101 d. per ounce for
standarn gold, gives an exchange of 13.91; and the ex-
change at Hamburgh on London at short being 13 81,
it follows that gold is 0.12 per cent. dearer in Ham-
burgh than in London. The course of exchange at
New York on London for bills at 60 days' sight is 1101
per cent., and the par of exchange between England and
America being 109 23-40 per cent., it follows that the
exchange is nominally 0.67 per cent. in favour of Eng-
land, and after making allowance for difference of
interest and charges of transport, the present rate
leaves a small profit on the importation of gold from she
United States.

MAN DROWNED AT GRANTON.—On Tuesday
morning the body of a man who bad been recently drowned
was found on the sea beach at Granton. The body was
subsequently identified to be that of Mr. Robert Crosthwaite,
traveller to Mr. Joseph Usher (late Mr. John Airey),
manufacturer of back-lead pencils, Keswick, Cumberland.
It was ascertained that the deceased bad left the Wardie
Hotel at Granton about half-past ten o'clock on the previous
evening to proceed by railway to Edinburgh. Being too late
for the train, it is conjectured that in returning to Granton,
ha had become confused, and, wandering upon the pier, had
fallen over, and was drowned. lie did business in Edinburgh
in the course of Monday forenoon, and left his goods and
other property in the coffee-house where he lodged in Shak-
spare-square, prior to going down to Granton.—Scorsn.an.
SOUTLI-EASTFRN RAlLwAT.—Notice of an inten-
tion to file an injunction apinst this company has been
