aNoN-INTERyENTIoN.' the doctrine Of
non-intervention, which was once i shield to
protect, has been converted into sword with
which to assal the South, it has acquired won
drous charms. Horace Greedy thinks it, as prac-
tised by the Administration, while much less
dangerous to the Union, scarcely less ecacious
for Northern purposes, than the Wilmot Pro-
viso. He seems to have abandoned the latter
and espoused the former. As carried out In the
form of the Executive Proviso, it excludes sla-
very from California; as embodied in the Clay
Compromise, with the aid of the Mexican law,
it excludes it from all the other Territories =
What more can any Free-soiler ask
The Administration succeeds In its purpose
of bringing into being, State Government in
California ercluding slavery! ard by its agent,
Butler King induces that Government to en-
close the whole Territory in that Free-soil
State and this is g non-iniervention" Con-
gress buys from slave State 10000 square
miles of her Territory, to be converted Into
Free-soil and this non-intervention The same
mighty authority abolishes the slave trade in the
District Of Columbia. preparatory to its aboli-
ton between the States and this too is non
intervention.
Well may the outraged, indignant and in
suited South exclaim, with the charge of sim
gle word:
"Be these juggling .fends no more believed
That palter with us in a double sense,
That keep the word of promise to the ear,
And break IL to the hope. ("

California emlgFant in q letter to the
Belfast Signal, writes as follows with re-
gard to the present condition Of this Is
land:
At sunrise the IIlh of March we made
the Island of Juan Fernandez, celebrated
as the residence Of Alexander SeIkirk,
and as the Botany Bay of Chill. 1t affords
very indifferent harbor and has only
twelve inhabitants. five men and seven
women, all Chilians, with the exception
of one man who said he was Governor of
the Island, that his name was Worth and
that he was a native of Main. He had
lived on the Island three years. There
are five houses or huts on the Island,
made of poles interviewer with straw
atfordlng protection from the weather.
Peaches are large and abundant and COM
pose the principal food of the inhabitants.
The valley IN which Selkirk lived is
pointed out and also the caves IN the sides
of the mountains formerly occupied by
the Chllian convicts. The Island is ex-
tremely mountainous. Wild horses and
goats abound. 1t is resorted to by the
vessels for wood and water. At sundown
we sailed for California.

ton arrested negro man engaged freight boat ly-
ing in the Basin, upon the charge ofsealng wood be-
longing to MIR. Philips The man confessed the theft,
and committed. Yesterday he appeared before the
Mayro, when Mr.. Philips stated that having missed
some wood from large pile lie had collected on the
banks OF the canal, about six miles above the city, he
was induced to look around the Basin Wednesday for
the purpose ofdentfy it and furnishing the thief; that
ne succeeded in finding pile on the Basin bank which
he knew had been stolen from him, and upon INQUIRY
learnt that the boa!man then in custody claimed it, he
thereupon called upon officer Warrington who prompt
ly arrested the fellow. AS the boatmon confessed the
THEFT, II is Honour had no difficulty about the matter
SO he ordered him to be punished by stripes
The Captain OF the boat was then called. and asked
why he permitted one ofhis hands to stea the wood
when that cunning old got off by protesting in the
most solemn manner, that he asleep when the
wood was stolen and put on board the boat But. did
he remain asleep till the wood discharged on the

THE NICARAGUA TREATY

The Hon. John M. Clayton, in his speech at
Wilmington, (De) made the following allusion
to the Nicaragua Treaty." which he justly styled
"one of the most important acts of Gen. Taylor's
administration" The more bitter of Gen. Tay.
ior's opponents have strenuousy endeavoured to
attach odium TO this great commercial arrange
lnent with Great Britain, by alleging that it in
volyed an acknowledgment of the British title TO
the country about the mouth of the San Juan
river, which properly pertains to the Republic of
Nicaragua. Mr. Clayton's remarks must convince
every one that Gen. Taylor not only did not
make such an acknowledgment, but successfully
exacted from the British Government surrender
of its unfounded pretensions:
"No man ever sought more earnestly to prevent the
interference OF foreign governments in the affairs the
American continent Yet he desired rather to prevent
foreign aggessons upon the rights al the weak Ameri-
republics, by remonstrance in their behalf than by
threatening hostItes in their defence In the neeota-

George M. Dallas has written letter mn

George M. Dallas has written letter upon the
exciting topic of the day. in which he says, in re-
ference TO the repeal of the fugitive slave law
Twill you then excuse me for intmating that having
exclusively In view the preservation OF the Union and
constitution, the obvious if the My direct and ef
fectNe course Is to proclaim the Fugitive Slave Law to
pc constitutional Just and expedent; to call upon our
Fellow cZens to obey it necessary part of the con-
stltuonal guaranty which all bound to fulfil in
good faith! Nor is this enough for of Pennsylvania
70 90; IN More will naturally be expected. We have un.
guadedy heretofore lent hand to impair the true sprit
and meaning OF the federal compact by legsatng ad-
versely to the constitutional right OF pursuing fugves
from labor That legislation has tended to bring into
the question our fidelity to the fixed guarantee of the
Unlon; and has, in degree encouraged those who
would cheerfully trample down, bresk through the
constitution and rend the Union, if by so doing they
can put an end to Southern slavery. Are not then
pound, when we see the Union in jeopardy, and when
we assemble to do what TO il, to invoke the
Legislature to etrace Its steps, to repeal all the in
consistent with the integrity and harmony of the Union
ana especially to repeal those laws which inct penal
ties on such OF magstracy shall aid in sustaining
our federal faith, and which deny the use of our pri-
sons to citizens engaged in executing the federal laws
Gan we stand absolved from reproach fiat this alarm

Gated! Readily, think not The countryside only

Nobly said, Mr. Dallas; and we can forgive
many of your former shortcomings for the ex-
preston of such wholesome sentiments. This is
the only true ground for Union men of the North
to take. Stand by the fugitive law, as carrying
but the intention of the constitution. Any sug-
gestion of its modification is only proposition tc
abrogate the requirement of the constitution which
it is designed to enforce.

THE REPTILE ROOM BY NIGHT.

The following striking account of the reptile room
in the Geological Gardens, Regents Park, London, we
take, with some abrdgement, from Bentiys Miscella-
n.y.:
about ten o'clock one evening during the last spring.
in company with two naturass OF emmence, we en-
tered that apartment small lantern was our only
light, and the faint illumination OF this impaired ghast-
ly character to the scene before us. The clear plate
glass which faces the cages invisible, and it was
difficult TO believe that the monsters in confine-
ment and the spectators secure. Those who have only
the boas and pyhons the rattesnakes and cobras
lazy hanging in estoons from the forks OF the trees in
the dens or suggishy cooled up, form no conception
OF the appearance and actions OF the same at
night. The huge boas and pythons were chasing each
other IN every direction whskng about the dens with
the rapidity OF lightning, sometimes enging in huge
coils round the branches, anon entwnng each other in
massive tods then separating they would rush over and
under the branches, kissing and lashng taeir tails in
hdeous sport. Ever and anon, thirsty with their
ons they would &pproach the pans OF water and drink
eagerly, tapping it with their iorked tongues. AS our
eyes became accustomed to the darkness perceived
objects better; and the uppermost branch OF the ree
in the den of the biggest serpent perceived pigeon
quietly roostlng, apparently Indifferent alike to the ur
mol which was gong on around and TO the vicinity OF
the monster whose meal it was soon to form. In the
den OF one OF the smaller serpents little mouse,
whose painting sides and tastbeatng heart showed that
it at least disliked It's company.
During the time we were looking at these FEATURES
all sorts OF odd noise We're heard strange scratch
ing against the glass would be audible the car
nveIous lizard endoa lorng to inform us that it was
last day with nm, entirely contrary to his inclination.
sharp hiss would state us from another quarter and
stepped back nvoluntarlv as the lantern revealed
the inflated hood and threatening action OF an angry CO.
bra. Then rattlesnake would take umbrage, and
sounding an alarm would make stroke against the glass
intended for person. The fixed gaze from the bril-
liant eyes OF the huge python more fascinating than
pleasant, and the scene taking all together, ex-
citing than agreeable Each OF the spectators involun-
ariy stopped to make that his trousers were we'll
strapped down; and, as il our nerves were testing
strange sensation would every now and then be felt re-
sembing the twining OF small snake about the legs
Just before wing the house, great beetle which
force against our right ear Startled we WERE for at
the moment our impression was that ii was some mem

PREsENTMENT OF FREE NEGRoEs-Judge Nash
commenced the Fall Term of the Circuit Court for
Petersburg Monday last and we learn from the In
tegencer that the Grand Jury presented fortytwo
of free negroes who have remained in that city with
out the permission OF the Hastings Court year ago,
(says the Intelligencer,) such proceeding as this
would have taken place; but within that tme such has
been the progress of abolition sentiment at the North
and such the development of nve'erae hostility to the
rights and interests Of the South that we have no al
tentative left but the strict execution of every law
which ministers to our safety So that if the abolition
lists hear that of their "colored brethren
have been compelled to go again in into bondage, or
have been expelled from the homes in which they have
long lived, they will have the consolation, of putting
this item to their philanthropic account.
In connexon with this matter, permit us to call the
attention of those concerned the following section in
the Code
every Commissioner of the revenue, annually with
his book OF personal property, shallretun also COM
pete list OF all free negroes in his district who are over
the age OF twelve years. specifying their Names sexes
ages, las nearly he and trades or occupations
OF which list the clerk shall fix up copy at the Court
house door and preserve the original in his Office For
failure IN such duty the commissioner shall forfeit
thirty dollars and the clerk fifteen dollars The COM
missioner shall also give information to the Grand Jury
of any free negro in such district remaining in this State
against law and in of failure to give such nforma-
ton he shall be fined three dollars for every such ne
gro SO remaining of aohose residence he had knoao.
