GUATEMALA AND SAN SALvADOR.-We
last night received intelligence from Wash
ington, which indicates that the Admins
tration is fully awake to the present inter-
esting posture of Central American affairs.
The Chevalier Gomez, late Envoy to Rome,
from the States of Guatemala and San Sal
vador, is now in Washington. In accor-
dance with the desire of the Administra-
ton, as our correspondent intimates, he has
assumed, Professionally, the duties of
Charge for those States, and has addressed
a long letter to Mr.. Webster in reference
to the present condition and relations of the
Central American States. Mr.. Webster
has replied in letter, expressing the
views of our Government on the subject.
The Chevalier Gomez, our correspondent
adds, has been treated with marked atten-
ton, both by the Secretary of State and
by Sir Henry Bulwer.

I'm Congress. Yesterday.

In the Senate several petitions were pre-
scented for the establishment of line of
steamers to Africa, against amending the
Patent laws, and against the Fugitive
Slave law. Mr.. Bright introduced a bill
explanatory of that law. The Deficiency
Bill was ordered to be engrossed.
The House spent the day in most edi-
flying debate on the bill to establish a
Board of Accounts, and finally destroyed
the bill, substituting for itanother authoriz-
ing claimants to sue the United States, but
adjourned before acting finally upon it.

VIII the Tribune Correctg

But the value Of the ST. Lawrence has been great
ly ovenated Since the adoption Of the Bonding System
in this country the great bulk of Canadian produce finds
lis way through the Erie Canal via Rochester and OswegO
this city, and by the Ogdensburgh Railway 10 Boston
We must beg the Tribune from which we take
the above paragraph, to make a correction. 1t is
not true that the great bulk of Canadian pro-
duce passing over the Ogdensburgh Railroad,
finds its way to Boston. On the other hand, it is
not long since we published a table compiled at
the Custom House at this Port, showing that
more than four fins Of the bonded freight pas
sing over the Ogdensburgh road. was destined for
NEw.YoRK, and but a triae over fourteen hun
dredths for Boston. We presume that the
Tribune fell into the error from nadvertence, but
it is nevertheless due to truth that the fact be
correctly stated, especially as great efforts are
making to show that the Ogdensburgh Railroad
is divertiDg trade greatly from New York.

THE CENTRAL AMERICAN GoLD.-Mr Smithey,
from whom we obtained part of the news from
Central America, published in yesterdays Tri.
bune, informs us that the account of the discovery
of gold placer near Chinandega which we trans
lated from the CoreO del IStnuO, was proved to be
humbug, just before he left the country. 1t was
a speculation of some enterprising hotelowners
in Chinandega to draw a crowd there and increase
their profits. They procured small quantity of
gold dust, and secretly scattered it here and there
in the soil. After this was washed out by the
discoveries, no more was to be found. Mr.. 6mithey
dug two days at the spot without finding parti
Gle of the dust: so that our gold hunting friends
cannot vet stop short of California.

Central America.

The news received from Nicaragua and
other Central American States by the late
arrival is deeply interesting. Mr.. Freder-
lex Chatfeld, who has so long been en-
gagged in bullying by wholesale the People
Of those feeble, distracted States, is evil
IDENTIFY Fastening his operations in a view of
the prospect of their speedy close. Noforty
men IN the pay of our Government could do
so much to destroy British influence and
render the British name detested throughout
that region as he is rapidly accomplishing.
We believe he would effect all that is de-
sirable if simply left to himself; but there
is another course equally unexceptionable
and of which the suspicious results cannot
be doubtful.
Whatever may be the case with other
Nations, ours has no interest nor semblance
of interest which would not be promoted
by the growth, tranquility, harmony and
greatness of the sister Republics on our
Continent. Their weakness is our grief,
their discord our misfortune. The disrup-
tons Of the Colombian aud Central Ameri
can Republics were not promoted by our
citizens nor accordant with our wishes.
We do not wish to glut them with our IA
brics nor to hold them in state of Com
mercial vassalage. We would much rather
see them learning to supply their own
wants, and thus naturalizing the Useful
Arts and diversifying their Industry than
to enjoy ourselves the profits Of more
extensive and lucrative trade with them.
Being, therefore, Opposition and sympa-
thies the natural ally of the younger Re-
publics of this Continent, it becomes this
Country to manifest a cordial interest in
their welfare and an earnest desire to serve
them to the extent of her power. The pre-
sent crisis manifestly calls for revival Of
that policy inaugurated in 1927, by
Messrs. Adams and Clay in creating the
Panama Mission, and so unworthily, viru-
lently assailed by the Opposition of that
day. To entangling alliances and engage
ments for assistance and support, the gen.
ius of our Government is happily adverse
bat much may be effected by Govern
ment soindependentand able as ours by the
exercise of moral power alone. The States
of Central America need the counsels of
an enlightened, experienced and disinter-
ested friend; thay need, above all things,
the removal of distractiRg feuds and the
restoration of a Federal Union among
themselves. To this end, Mr.. Chat6eld
has signally though unwiitingly contribu-
ted; and all that is needed is but to perfect
the work he has so heedlessly commenced.

Court of Common SATURDAY, Fe

abraham B. VandepOOi VS. Joseph B. Smith,
Mr.. Y. claims that MIR. Burritt, broker, was his
agent and that he, through Mr.. b, negotiated for
Mr.. s. purchase of eight houses in Seventh-av.,
between Twenty third and Twenty fourth SITS,
corner Of latter for $4,000 and subject to an in
cumbrance that existed upon them. He claims
commissions for this, and also for selling house
in Rivington. st. for Mr. s., which, with 81, 900 on
an Illinois bond, 81, 800 in money, and $500 in
notes, were paid by Mr.. 8. for the houses. Mr.. v.
sues to recover s60O-sl0O for commissions on the
bond and house, and $500 alleged through Mr.
Burritt to have been promised him.
The defense is that Mr.. Burritt is, in fact, the
paintif-neit Mr., Smith, nor Mr.. McArdle,
from whom the buildings were bought, knowing
Mr.. " but both, without the other being aware
of employed Mr.. Burritt
The Court, in its charge, after stating the claim,
said Mr. Smith denies he had anything to do with
Mr. Vanderpool; that Mr.. B is the real party
and that the name of Mr.. V. is merely used that
Mr. B. may be witness 1t is important for the
Jury to consider whether Mr.. b. is the real party
or not, because on that depends the right Of re-
covery.
AS to brokerage, it is a well established custom
that the seller, and not the purchaser, is the per-
son to pay the commission, and before a recovery
can be had it must be made to appear that there
was special contract that the purchaser should
pay.
One important feature in the case is, that Mr.
ID
He concealed from Mr. s. the true extent of the
incumbrance, and from Mr.. McArdle the fact that
he had sold the houses for $4,000. Mr.. McA.
wanted that sum- but Mr.. b. said he could get
but sll 500, and Mr. McA. spoke to his brother
Philip, for whom be was acting as agent, and who
consented to take o. 500. A broker, acting thus
in iduciary capacity, is bound to act in good
faith and to inform his principal of the exact state
of affairs. He is not allowed by law to conceal
anything, or turn anything TO his own advantage.
He says if he had got the difference he would not
have given it to either Of the parties. Fear of not
getting the commission or otherwise will not
authorize private advantage like this
Mr. b. says he is agent for Mr.. Vanderpoo
This gentleman is also broker, and they keep in
the same office Mr.. B. says he gets no regular
salary, but they take, occasionally, a RETROSPECT
tive view Of what he has done and settle Mr.
B. also does brokerage business on his own &C.
count. 1t is for the Jury to determine. Mr.. b.
says he was agent for Mr.. " and acting as such,
in his employment His testimony is unim-
peached, and must be believed unless the Jury
think there is good and sufficient reason to hold
that he is not fully so in the sense.
