FROM WAsHINGToN.- Nicaragua Treaty.
Compromise Committee Fugitive iSlave Aet.-
Ion, the Washington correspondent of the Balti-
more Sun, under date of the Both ult., says
We know something more of the treaty to-day,
through the New York Express, whose editor is
member Of the House: The synopsis there given
is said to be ocial-Mr. Clayton having caused its
publicity with view to self-defence. The treaty
is more liberal than had by some, been represented
it restricts Great Britain entirely, and it en-
braces general provision guarantying the neu-
trality and freedom to the commerce of the whole
world, of all the other lines of communication that
may be opened-includng Panama and Tehuan-
tepec.
In regard to the Committee of thirteen, every
principle Of the compromise scheme is settled.
The present boundaries of California are sane
toned. The territorial government, without the
Wilmot proviso, are agreed to. 1t is also agreed
to unite these two measures in one bill 1t is agreed
to make an offer to Texas for a valuation Some
Of the details of this bill may still be unsettled
The blank representing the sum to be offered is
not filled Ten millions is thought too much to
offer Texas for the proposed REIMBURSEMENT But
the Texas boundary proposition will as territorial
question: be united with the other bill.
The fugitive slave act of 1898 is so amended as to
be efficient There is to be trial by jury, but not
in the free States. The slave after his restoration
to the place whence he eloped, is to be tried and
proved to be slave by jury OF the vicnage. This
provision Is intended to prevent kidnapping.

BY Geographic summary by way Of Louisville,
we have the proceedings Of Congress on the LIST
instant:
In Senate.--The bill to increase the rank and
file of the army, and to encourage enstments, was
passed.
On motion Of Mr. Miller, the resolution relating
to Mr. Grinnells expedition to search for Sir John
Franklin, was taken up.
Mr.. Clay supported the measures in brief, but
forcible speech.
Mr.. King expressed the opinion, that it would
be better for Congress to take the matter into its
own hands, instead Of lending national aid to pri-
vate citizen.
Mr.. Miller advocated the resolution.
Mr.. Foote charged the administration with great
neglect and insufficiency in not having carried our
liberal measure in search OF Sir John Franklin. II
any thing was to be done he wished the Govern
ment to undertake it independent Of any party. He
did not charge Mr.. Grinnelrs scheme specula-
ton, but it looked very much like it.
| Mr. Pearse defended the administration from the
assaults of Mr.. Foote.
The resolution finally passed, yeas %, nays
16. They then went into executive session, and
| then adjourned.
| In the House--Mr. Mclean moved to take ur
and pass the Senate bill, relative to the coinage o.
bullion at the mints. He said there was now greai
embarrassment and difficulty, and the object of the
bill was to prevent bullion going to England fol
| coinage. Objection made.
| Mr.. Preston King moved to go into Commute,
| of the Whole on the Census bill.
Mr.. Cobb, of Ala, with paper in his hand
asked the House to determine whether the question
he would propose was of privilege or not.

ruins. In the centre Of the cellar was well, some
eight feet in depth, drain, apparently; this was
filed with water and the cellar itself was covered
to some depth
Mr.. Purkitt's school was probably the finest
female academy in the city. he had under his
charge large number Of children belonging to the
most respectable families; and the parents and
friends OF these children, comprising the beauty
and fashion of the city, had assembled to witness
holyday festival.
The following is list Of the sufferers as far as

THE SELECT CoMMITMEE.-The action of the
the Committee of Thirteen, in private conference,
on the various subjects referred to it with view to
the reporting some general compromise measure,
is extremely interesting. The Washington cores
pondent Of the North American says that, after
some discussion ON the Southern boundary of Cali
fornia, the Committee voted to recommend the adj
mission, with the present limits and constitution
next to establish territorial governments for New
Mexico and Utah, without any restriction to sla-
very. division was demanded upon the question
Of uniting these propositions in BILL and the
union prevailed by decided majority
The adjustment of the boundary between Texas
and New Mexico furnished the principal topic of
discussion No formal vote was taken upon the
amount of indemnity proposed to be granted to
Texas for the REIMBURSEMENT Of her pretensions to
the territory Of New Mexico, but it is understood
that the Committee are disposed to allow five Oh
even and half millions, if necessary to con-
summaie the arrangement. A proposition was sub
mitted to combine this adjustment in the bill fol
California and the Territories but it was deferred
in order to ascertain the prevailing inclination OF
Congress. Expediency will entirely control the
combination or separation.
Mr.. Clay brought forward an amendment, to be
offered to the bill now pending before the Senate
for the reclamation Of fugitive slaves, which was
modified by Mr.. Cass to the following effect: re-
quiring proof be furnished from court of record
first that the person alledged to have absconded is
a slave; and, second, that he or she has escaped
from service and whenever said person is appre-
hended, satisfactory proof to be furnished to the
commissioner, or whoever else may be charged
with the examination of his Or her identity where
upon the captured person is to be remanded to the
jurisdiction of the State whence he or she escaped :
and upon his or her suggestion that he or she is
not slave, the claimant his representative shall
enter into bond to submit the question to jury,
giving all facilities Of proof to ascertain the fact of
slavery or no slavery. The object of this amend
ment will readily be perceived, is to apply the
same principle fugitives from service as to fugi-
tives from justice.
bill will probably be introduced to extend the
laws Of Maryland over the District of Columbia,
with some necessary amendments, by which the
slave traffic will be abolished.
| Il is not contemplated to introduce any new
State to be formed out of the territory of Texas
but the report will doubtless rehearse the oblga-
ton contained in the resolutions Of annexation for
the admission of future States, when the requisite
population is obtained.
These are understood to be the leading features
of the programme. They are subject to amend
ment and revision and therefore cannot be regarde
