The NICARAGUA CANAL LCoMPAsY.-AyoTHER Re-
vocATIoS.-Some three weeks sgo-the steamship
Prometheus left this port for san Juan and the San
Juan river. which forms so important link in the
proposed line of the Nicaragua inter-oeeanic ship
canal. Mr.. Vanderbilt and Mr.. Joseph l.. White,
two Of the principals Of the American Canal Com
pany, went out in the Prometheus; and rumor at
that tin, had i, that there was some trouble about
the treaty-something broke--a screw loose
which threatened 10 play the very deuce with the
whole machinery.
ltisnow publicly asserted tha, the government Of
that State has revoked nch OF the compact with
the Vanderbilt company as comedies 10 them the ex-
elusive navigation by steam Of the interior waters Of
sad state and that grants 81 the privilege of steam
navigation have been conferred upon several other
companies. IL IL further asserted, that according
to the stipula,ons Of the Clayton and Suwcr treaty
Of joiEt projection, may count upon the nullif-
cation or revocation of the whole Of the bargain
with che ship Cana Company soon IS the Legis-
lature shall meet The Clayton treaty requires the
company to have all their stock subscribed neces-
ssry to accomplish the work, and all their arrange
ments for entering into the work perfected, within
one year after the exchange Of ratihcatons Bu. II
Is taid that neither is the stock subscribed, nor

we'll merited rebuke from this side of the Atlantic
for such dishones. practices, that the English press
are abusing our contributions.
Indeed, it Was not without sense Of humiliation
that We saw our mechanics and manufacturers con-
tributing anything all to the Crystal Palace ex-

f.sI that we were instrumental in saving to the
Ams,;can neorle portion, at least, of the robbery

bbiton was greater than it Is. Indeed, robbery is
the best term to apply to the Crystal Palace spscua
tion, from its inception to the present 1t is a
par with what England has done. She has been a
public robber for centuries. Through her army
and navy she has robbed every civilized and uu-
civilized nation in existence, either Of their terri
tory or their property Neither has she spared her
own subjects. In her present deere pitude, she
is unable to play the highwayman abroad
any more, and she accordingly hit upon a plan Of
bringing the rest Of the world to her, where she
might rob them without any expense to herself.
So accustomed had she become to the habit, that
It was second nature for her to have her hand
in every ones pocket, and now she is engaged 10
the honorable occupation Of extracting the spare
change of her victims, by inveiglng them into her
building Of glass. She pretends to give them the
worth Of their money The trick, ho weyer, is too
transparent to deceive the shrewd people Of this
country. John Bull may consider himself sharp
witted, but few incidents that the inqusitive may

over" Brother Jonathan.
Already, England. and her instruments in levying
black mail, and abstracting small change from the
pockets of foreigners, reckoning up the punder

The cost of constructing the glass palace has been
exceeded by several thousand pounds sterling, and
the press are amusing the uninitated with debate
about the proprety Of not taking that building to
pieces, if any thing Of the kind ever seriously
contemplated. Not content, however, with what
has been received, the exhibition is to be kept
it pays so we'll and in order to still further swell
the profits it is desired that the Americans should
do what they might have done in the first place, If
they were simpletons and had not seen through the
trick. We hope they will not be caught 10 this
additional trap, baited though it be with the
