IMPORTANT FROM WASHINGTON. The
New York Express learns firm Washing
ton, that the british Minister has already
opened negotiations with the S. Score
tary of State upon the subject OF his mis-
sion. The Nicaragua question will 10
doubt be amicably settled: the right of
way for a ship canal will be guaranteed
both by the United States and Great Brit

disavow VIZ. Chatfield's acts on the coast
of Honduras, respecting Tigre Island, &c.
There is every reason to believe. that there
is the best understanding between the two
Governments, and determination on The

Of the great inequality Of the present AS

by it the taxes of our citizens will be

US. SEalToR. The Legislature Of
Maryland on Thursday, elected Ex-Gov-
ernor Pratt, to the Senate of the United
States for the unexpired term of Hon.
Rrvsrdy johnson, and for the full term
next succeeding.
Many members of the Wing rarty
were opposed TO his election. but when
they remember his ins,rume ntalily in
maintaining the faith of the State invio-
late, and the service thus rendered, it
seems proper that all shonli be content.
He was strong man in the DAYS of the
"Nineteen"- few men in the State could
have managed so we'll as Governor, and
he will be an able and faithful Whig Sen
ator TIL csc considerations will disperse

preach The writings OF the apostles
were memorandums of events IN their
times, subsequently enlarged. modified,
and ampliied by the early fathers of the
church. They wanted to make a strong
case against the Jews, and adopted this
version of having paid the thirty pieces of
silver, instead OF the ruling power of those
times, the Romans. To betray, there
must be concealment. Nothing was easier
than for Jesus to have escaped the arrest,
trial. and condemnation, had he been so
inclined; but he rather courted the result
than evaded it. Consequently there was
a motive in the Romans offering to pay
Judas for designating him in the crowd,
but none for the Jews incurring the eX-
pense. We commend these views of the
learned scribe among the Jews of the 10Th
century TO Christian ministers.

there are large tracts of land, which pro-
dnce rushes, flags, and other kind of
aquatic plants. These, if cut at the proper
season placed in some situation where
they can be decomposed, and broken
down, afford another valuable source of
agristic enrichments; and as the labor of
cutting can generally be performed at
times when there is little else to be atten-
ded TO, or to engross the attention of the
farmer, the profit resulting from their econ
omization and preparation, is greater, per-
haps, than would be realized from the
same amount of effort expended in any
other way. Where muck can be obtained

affluent crops By availing himself of
this source, he can at all times have the
ample supply of the most efficient pabu-
lem for his crops, and can so easily keep
up the desired and requisite quantity of
numus in the soil, that even the most ex-
hausting crops will be grown with profit,
and without any apparent injury to his
weakest soils. Most muck, however, it
may not be amiss to remark, contain hui

quires lime to neutralze it, and render it
harmless when applied; or 1t may be cart

exposed during the winter for the frosts to
correct the acidity. I'll. ID. WHITE.

A Jews 0piniOD of JudaS.

Major Noah, in his Sunday Times,
gives some weekly explanations and ex-
poundings of the scriptures In his latest
issue he speaks of Judas lscariot to show
that the wickedness of that arch traitor is
not generally understood. He tells us
that Jesus was not betrayed to the Jews,
as IS generally supposed, but to the Ro-
man authorities, who were in search of
him and knew him not. The Sanhcdrim
of Jerusalem (as iIlustrious body as our
Senate, and as quarrelsome too,) couldnot
be supposed TO have paid the paItry sum
oil thirty pelces OF silver to betray Jesus,
when they knew him well, for he was in
the daily habit of expounding his doc
trlnes III the temple, on the mountains,
and in the valleys? He never concealed
hlmseli; lie was not all obscure person.
Why should the Jews pay for betraying
HIM! When the Roman soldiers were
sent to arrest him by Pontius PLATE, not
knowing which OF the twelve APOSTLES
was the accused, they agreed to pay Judas
thirty pieces of silver if be would point
hIm out. The apostles were all poor men,
though Judas was better off than the rest,
having some means. Being socialists,
and having but one purse, Judas was a
kind OF treasurer, and kept the money
lie was mean and avaricous, as we have
a right TO believe from his rebuking Marv
Tor eXPendlng three hundred pence for a
box of spikenard to annoint the feet of
Jesus Besides, Jesus and all his apos-
ties were Jews, and by the Jewish law
no brlbe could be offered as a price of
blood and particularly by the Sanhedrim,
the true eXponents of the law. 1t was a
Roman brIbe TO designate the person; but
II was entirely unnecessary, for when the
officers arrived, Jesus said with tho Mt
most trankness-''lf We seek Jesus of Ma
zareth, L am he" There was no neccs.
sity for betraying him or selling him: for
he had no concealments, and always had
predicted the event. The n,eanness of
Judas was tempted by the offer, and he
pointed him out. Although it is distinctly
and clearly said in the New Testament
that the priests bargainec with Judas and
gave HIM, upon his own offer, thirty pie
ces of silver to betray Jesus, yet we think
the tradition will one day sustain us in the
declaration, that the offer was made by
the Roman authorities, W no granted to the
Jews the warrant for his arrest, and paid
Judas for pointing him out. There was
not jew III Jerusalem who did not know
him, end did not almost daily hear him

IMAGINARY EVILS.

Let TO morrow take care of TO. morrow;
Leave things Of the future 10 fate;
What's the use TO anticipate sorrow?
Life's troubles come never too late.
Iftoo hope over much be an error,
'Tls ono that the wise have prefcrred;
And how often have hearts been in error
Ofevils that never occurred!
Have laith-and thy faith shall sustnin thce
Permit not suspicion and
With invisible bonds to enchan thee,
But bear what God gives thee TO bear.
BY his spirit supported and gladden'd,
BE ne'er by 'forebodngs" deferred;
But think how oft hearts have been saddgn' d
BY feaI-of what never occurred!
Let to morrow take care ef TO morrow,
Short andsdark as our life may appear,
We may make it still darker by sorrow-
Still shorter by sorrow aud fear.
Half our troubles are half our invention,
Aud often from blessings conferred
Have we sllrunk in the wild appr ehcnsion
Ofevis-that never occurred!

There's no use now a-talking;
You shall not 60 across the field
With Billy Grimes a-walking.
To think of his presumption, too!
The dirty, ugly drover,
I wonder where your pride has gone,
To think of such royer!'

And Billy is SO lonely!
Besides, they say. to Grimes estate
That Billy is the only
Surviving heir TO all that's left;
And that, they say is nearly
A good ten thousand dollars. ma
About six hundred yearly"
II did not hear, my daughter dear,
Your last remark quite clearly.
But Billy is a clever lad.
And no doubt Low es you dearly!
Remember, then, to morrow morn,
To be up bright and early,
To take pleasant walk with him
