sengers had fifteen miles or land carriage, and
thence by steamer across Nicaragua lake aud
down San Juan river. Thirty-tw0 Of her pas
sengers express great satisfaction At the new
route.
The only event exciting any interest At San

yigilant committee, of desperate character
named James Stuart, ut two o'clock on thu lth

presence of FIVE thousand citizens, who, it il al

"a SINGULAR AwARD.--The offer of a small
premium was lately made, through the Boston
Congregationalist, for the best essay in answer
to sundry questions in relation to practical re.
ligion and especially pointing out the relation Of
the souls salvation to knowledge OF the per-
son of Christ--a point, we would think, involv.
ing the most peculiar features of the orthodox
views. The committee in the case awarded the
prize, without knowing the authors of any OF
the proposed essays, to Rev. Mr.. Briggs, q
Unitarian clergyman Of Plymouth, Massachu-
sets. 1t lis certainly suggestive circumstance,
in many ways-and we may say hopeful-that
the best exposition of such point of theory
should have been supplied by Unitarian--even

The point is not bad; and is really suggestive
of multitude Of reflections. If the best people
in the world so little understand each other
and hold each other in pious horror, and YET
agree without knowing it, how can we be sur.
prised that the worst people in the world should
denounce their unchristian intolerance, and shake
them all up in the same sack!

cording to every body sincere conviction, every

that every body had to judge every body else
(and we don't know but it might so happen,)
who would escape their righteous decisions?
We would suggest that only those would
have chance of escaping, who never con

pend upon circumstances beyond human control
A little less meddling-a little, less pride
and little more conscience, would change the

by the division of property, and the greater In
