1t is rumored that treaty was agreed upon, and
signed on Friday last, by Sir Henry Buwer and
Mr. Clayton, in regard TO the limitation of British
jurisdiction in Central America, the Nicaragua ca
nal, etc 1t is not improbable that the matter,
which was said to be in favorable train has been
satisfactorily adjusted, The treaties negotiated by
Mr. Squier, are before the Senate, but presume
they will not be acted upon until the arrangement
with Great Britain shall also be submitted to the
Senate.
As Mr. Webster has been excused from serving
on the Committee appointed to attend the remains
OF Mr. Calhoun, the vacancy is TO be filled by the
Chair. The committee now consists Of Mr.. Ma
son, Mr.. Davis, of Miss, Mr.. Berrien, Mr. Dickin-
son, Mr.. Dodge, of Iowa, and one vacancy. Mr..
DAVIS Is now det1ined from the Senate by indispo.
sition. As Mr., Webster has been called away,
and Gen. Dawson is absent, on account Of his re-
cent bereavement, and several other Senators are
about to absent themselves, nothing of importance
will, presume, be done in the Senate during this
month. doubt much whether any adjustment of
the slavery and territorial questions will be effected
for month or two yet. The Calhoun committee
will proceed to Charleston soon as the arrange
ments contemplated there for the reception of the
remains shall be concluded. The committee will
receive notice from Charleston in few days.
Mr.. Crawford will, it is positively asserted, re-
sign his post as Secretary of War as the
COMMITTEES Of Investigation, appointed at his re-
quest, shall report. The justice of the claim has
been ably vindicated in the columns of the Repub-
lie, in article over the signature of VIM. Cost
Johnson. The committee have obtained leave to
sit during the daily session of the House.

A little relief to the monotony of the fiat and uA
profitable slavery debate was offered TODAY bv a
speech from Mr.. Corwin, of Ohio mot the wagon.

How he has contrived to suppress such disposition
for fun, for four months, is rather remarkable
