Our readers will remember the of attempt
to take the life of MIR Warner of New York, in the
month of May last, by means of box sent to his
house, filled with explosive combustbles. MIR War

made and sent the box and hat he the SON. carried
it to the door, disguised a Spanish negro. Drury
Sen. was then watched, and last Tuesday he was
overheard in making the same statement to two des
perate characters. He expressed his disappointment
at the result, and urged them to take the matter in
hand He also talked about the price cf plates and
dies for counterfetng. The father ami were inn

Females not Naturaiized.-It is of importance to
large class of persons to understand that females from

cases. resulting in the property being taken by the
State. Females from foreign lands apt to think
there is need of their being naturalized that
they cannot vote, benefit to them from
becoming citizens 1t is said large amounts Of pro-
pery every year lost to the families of foreign
women, in consequence of this neglect. The public
press should every where put those concerned on

From Central .4mericd-A late letter from Nicara.
uga to the N. Y Tribune gives further evidence OF
the disposition of that government to form close
alliance as possible with Union, partly, as we
infer from choice and partly to find in us, if possible,
ally to resist the British aggressons upon its claim
ed territory. The treaty between Nicarnuga and the
United States, concluded by Mr. Squier, our new
Charge that section had been heartily confirmed by
the Legislative department of the Nicaraugean gov
eminent, had also the bargain of that government
with a New York Company for the exclusive right to
build Ship Canal connecting the two oceans, across
the territory of their Republic.
By the treaty which Mr. Squier has concluded for
the United States with Honduras; all the ports of the
latter country secured to commerce free II
also cedes the United States temporarily the island
of Tigre in the Gulf of Fonesca, which represent
ed as commanding not only the Gulf named but the
whole coast and to have been looked upon with eager
eyes by the British, who it is said had intended soon
to seize it under pretence of securing an indemnity
for debts due British subjects The island has been
or soon will be taken possession of by naval force
from the United States, much to the chagrn of the
British. A circular from Mr. Squier confirms this,
and adds ''that the United States has acquired in the
Western Islands and coast of Honduras, what win
prevent her from looking with indifference any
measures which shall affect the present order of af
fairs in that quarter.
