The News from NICARAGUA,

We publish, in this days Herald certain cor
respondence and official dispatches, from Mica
ragua and Honduras, Of the most startling charac-
ter. The seizure of the islands and sea coast of
Honduras and San Salvador, by the British war
steamers, under the authority and in concert with
the British Charge d'Affaires to Central America,
Mr.. Frederic Chatfeld, are amsng the most high
handed and outrageous acts of aggression since the
opium affair in China. The little States of Central
America have been lnveigled into debt by British
agents; and now, doubtless at the lnstigaton of
their government, and with the assistance of Her
MaJesy's steamers, they pounce down upon their
victims, and lay claim to their country, in default
ofpayment, at an hours notice, under the guns Of
a steamer.
If the rights and independence of Central Ame-
RIGA, however, Were only involved in these shame
less proceedings, they might, probably, be passed
over, by our peaceloving and neutrality cabinet.
as something in which there would be no occasion
to interfere. But our own rights and interests are
directly involved. The seizure Of the island of
Tigre, by the commander of the steamer Gorgon,
In cooperation with Mr.. Chatfeld, is an outrage
which cannot well be overlooked. That island,
by treaty with Honduras, concluded through the
agency of MIR. Squier, our Charge, was ceded TO
the United States, and possession taken of It under
the United States flag The island has been In
vaded-the flag torn down-and possession taken
by the force Of a war steamer, in the name OF
Queen Victoria. A very natural excitement has
been created by these outraees In Honduras and
San Salvador, and they were rapidly mastering
their forces for war.
Such is the present posture Of affairs in Central
America Whether they will contribute, or not, to
the "pacifc arrangement" spoken Of by the Lon
don Times, on the Mosquito question, between Sir
Henry Bulwer and Mr. Clayton, remains to be seen.
In the meantime, war steamer or two might be
seryceabe on both sides Of the Isthmus. If the
rights of our citizens and Of Central America are TO
be sustained, there should be no delay 10 making
the proper inquiry INTO this business, in the proper
form. Whether the treaty for the island of Tigre
was authorised or unauihorised, and whether it
may be dlsapproved or rejected by Mr.. Clayton,
Mr. Chaiield should be driven of the island as the
first step necessary to "pacihc arrangement"
Mr.. Clayton perfect war horse in the case of
the tobacco boxes. Now shall zee whether it
was all smoke. Something must be done.

will be seen that quotations for most Of the secu-
rifles In the sbove,t have advanced within the past
month. The improvement has all been realized Within
week, and the probability IL that the turning
point has been reached Government stocks have not
been very active for several days past and prices have
been sroopng but the advces recently received nom
Europe, will doubtless give them upward impetus.
Capitalists here are aaxousy looking for the organza-
tion Of the lover House Of Congress- that something
definite may be known relative to the slavery question
We apprehend very exciting time during the present
session and II ~ probable that foreign holders Of Ame
ricsn securities will become alarmed and exhibit dis
position TO realize This may, at lesst arrest the up
ward movement in prices and may 60 farther and pro-
duce depreciation As the lover House Ia or
esni,ed, the movement will commences but Whit the
result will be, tell.

GIRARD COLLEGE.

Frederick A. Packard, Esq, has been
called to the Presidency, Of this munii-
cent Philadelphia institution. Mr. Pack
ard was originally member Of the Mass
achuse.ts Bar, and has been many years
engaged in conducting the affairs Of the
American Sunday School Union, and his
eminent abilities and attainments peculiarly
fit him for the new station. Few men
have given SO much attention to the sub
ject Of education, having acquired by per-
sonal inspection familiar acquaintance
with the theory and practice Of the various
systems Of education in operation at home
and abroad. The malignant designs Of
Girard against christianity are thus defeat
ed again, President being appointed over
the College who more than almost any 9TH
er man has been devoted to the religious
instruction Of youth, and will continue to
be.-Herald of the Prairie. +

Posi- OFFICE ABusEs.-The new Wing
Postmaster in a very important town in
Indiana, thus writes to friend in Wash
ington, giving the behavior Of his 'illus-
trious predecessor"-proof "clear and
unquestlonable" that he deserved TO be
removed:
"And here let me inform you Of some
facts which none of US would have thought
would be. When l came into Office l
found not less than 500 documents, sent
by our late M. c., all laid carefully aside.
Some 100 copies Of the life Of Gen. Tay-
lor laid away, and numerous other public
documents--at least two large canvass bags
full: and strange to say, not five of them
were Democratic documents;all Whig,and
ranked by
"1his, and other matters which | found
in the office, convinced me that all the
villany which man could conceive was
systematically carried on BY the office-hol-
ders. l gathered all such documents as
were fit and gave them out. Hundreds
were too filthy to handle."

was in this battle, that Washington had

very highly of Colonel Washington and

FUNERAL OF THE LATE Mas. MADISON

FUNERAL OF THE LATE Mas. MADISON.
The remains Of the venerable relict Of
Ex-President Madison were removed from
her late residence in Lafayette square, to
St. Johns church yesterday afternoon at 4
o'clock. The Rev. Mr. Pyne, Rector of
the church, delivered, in very feeling
manner, an eloquent and just eulogy on
the character Of the deceased, which was
listened to with deep interest by dense
congregation, including the President Of
the United States, the cabinet officers,
gentlemen Of the army and navy, the May
or and City Councils, and many distin-
guished citizens and strangers. The Rev.
Mr. French aided the Rector Of St. Johns
in the funeral solemnities. About half
past 5 o'clock the funeral procession, a
very large and imposing one, moved from
the church to the Congress Cemetery,
where the corpse will remain until it is
removed to its final resting place at Mont
pelier, Virginia.-Na INTEL, 18th.
