Lola MnnfeE.

This woman, who arrived in the Humboldt at New
York, on Friday morning, was accompanied by her
agent Mr. Edward Willis, brother of N. P. Willis, and
several servants. The Tribune thus describes her:
Lola is not masculine woman, but rather slim in
her structure; she has face of great beauty, and
pair of black Spanish eyes, which flash fire when she
is speaking. and make her, with the sparkling vii oil
her conversation, great favorite IN company. She
has black hair which curls in rnges by the sides oil
her face and her nose is of pure Grecan cast while
her cheek bones are high, and give Moorish appear
ance TO her face.
She expresses herself fearful that she will moi be
properly considered in New York, but hopes that dis
terminating public will judge of her after having seer
her, and not before.

telegraphc despatch from Washington, under
date of the 5th inst, to the Philadelphia American,
contains the following important information
The steamship Atlantic. which sails to.mor at
noon, will be detained by arrangement with the
State Department., to receive an important despatch
transmitted from Washington this afternoon. Mr..
Webster has written letter to Mr. Lawrence, re-
quiring him to ascertain Immediately from Lord
Palmerston whether the outrage on the Prometheus
was authorized by any standing special instruc-
ton, whether it is disavowed by the English gov
eminent.
The despatch explicitly states that the outrage is
regarded being direct violation of the first arti-
Gle of the Clayton and Bulwer treaty of April 1850
and it is claimed that Great Britain shall take i'm
mediate steps to settle the difficulties by the return
of Sir Henry L. Bulwer, the appointment of some
other person armed with sufficient authority The
tone of the official paper is high just and American,
and it corresponds with and is worthy of the charac
ter Of Mr.. Webster Private letters have also been
sent to Mr. Lawrence, instructing him, in the most
urgent terms, to proceed firmly and promptly.
Within half hour after intelligence OF the out
rage upon the Prometheus reached Washington, Mr..
Webster addressed letter the President, recon-
mendng the employment of competent naval az
mament to protect our commerce and rights. YES
sells of war have, accordingly been ordered to Cha
gres, San Juan and San Juan del Sud.
The delays in the execution Of the Clayton and
BuIwer treaty have resulted from the domestic diff
cultes in Central America. Senior Marcolita, who
came here charged to make a general adjustment
with, as was supposed full powers, now finds him
self without any sufficient authority to negotiate
behalf of Nicaragua or Central America Hence the
difficulties.
This new affair of the Prometheus will compel
some affirmative arrangement between England and
the United States.

Some time since noticed the fact that Messrs
Ellis & Mitchell were about erecting horse mill in
the rear of their Grain Store. The machine is now
il operation, and may be interesting to those who
have never seen anything of the kind the more so
on account of the corporal presence and personal ap
pearance of an eephant-shaped beast, which they
say is horse This elephantne gentleman of the
equine species is elevated in sort of pulpit of his
own, where he keeps walking all day without ad-
vancing step, and never says word to anybody,
but works away, propelling the grinders which
change corn into meal for man, hominy for
other beasts We learn that these horse powers are
coming into general use throughout the country on
large farms, and are applied to almost any purpose.
