Tuesday Morning, January II, 1S5;
THE CLAYTON AND BULwER TREA-

We published. yesterday morning, the let
ter Of Mr.. Clayton, with the enclosure. There
is no doubt hat Mr.. King did soy that the
treaty was understood, by the Senate, not TO
extend to the British possessions in Honduras.
But that, we take il, save only as between
Messrs. Clayton and King, is q matter OF small
moment. The question is, were this declara-
ton of Bulwer's and the assent of Clayton,
,.hich seem designed TO have the force OF
protocol, submitted to the Senate? Or fthey
were not, las we believe was the easel did the
Senate understand that they were ratifying it
with this qualification
We think it very evident that they did not
thus understand it, because il was not so IN
derstood by anybody in the country, except
SIR. Gales, who explained so much in the In
,eiligencer, in a paragraph, at the end of a
long article, and who evidently thinks that he
is a part ofthe government, and that such an
annuncatiou is all sufficient. We do not
think SO. The announcement should have
been made officiaily-to the Senate. The Sc
nate should have kno yn what it was acting
upon, as it evidently did not.
The Senate is part of the treaty-makiDg
power, and as il acted upon false statement
of facts, we regard the treaty as not worth the
paper il was written on. 1t was obtained by
fraud, and being thus obtained, we evidently
are not bound by it. What Mr.. Clayton sup
posed he was treating for, we do not pretend
TO know. But we know very we'll what the
whole country thought was the object OF the
negotiation. 1t was the extinction of the Brl-
tish dominion in Central America dominion
based upon the most frivolous title, ana oppres-
siye alike to .reigners, and the inhabitants.

PARRow's JENNY LIND MINsTRELs.-T he
performances of this band of the " Richm ond
boys during the last week, at Odd FelIo VS.
Hall, have given general, and SO to speak, en-
thusiastc satisfaction. Each of the perform ers
is a master of his peculiar instrument, a Il
are excellent singers, and the majority humor-
Gus, good dancers and ready negro reasoners
and soliloquizers.
This band willleave Richmond this evening
for Lynchburg, and we bespeak of the citizens
of that hospitabIe burg, kindly reception Of
our miLs,rels." We believe in pa,ronizing
Southern talent, in whatever form developed,
and when that talent is exhi biied in the line
of music of the most refined and finished cha
racter, we think an additional reason is fur
nished for its encouragement.

THE ERRICsON CALORIC SHIP.

Every account seems to agree that the ex-
pertinent made in the North river by this ves-
sel has completely succeeded. If so, we sup
pose it will produce an entire revolution in
navigation, for the danger and annoy ances OF
steam will have been entirely dispensed with.
We recolect seeing, some years age, an ac-
count of the application of compressed 6r to
purposes of navigation, by Lord Dundonald,
admiral Cochrane,) who is well known 10 be
q man Of great inventive genius. How ii sue
ceeded we do not know, but we presume 1T
must have been failure, otherwise we should
have heard more about it. We do not know
that the principle is the same with this OF Mr..
Ericsson, but we presume it is not.
Like all great inventors, Mr.. E. seems to
have struggled for long time with difficulties,
but his genius finally overcame the m all. He
received, in the interval, no small share of that
rdicule which awaits everybody who ventures
out of the beaten path but he did not suffer
himself to be affected by it. He perseVered in
spite of hints, shrugs, inuendoes and rallery,
as Columbus did, and if bis discovery be such
as it is represented to be, it is only very little
less important than that Of the great Geonese.
By the way, we have heard that Errcs
foretold the entire failure of the steamer Prince
ton and said she would never 60 TO sea on u
cruise of any length. He had built one for
the British Government, by contract, on pre-
cisely the same principle, and it failed. We
knew nothing as TO the fact ofhis having made
this prediction but if he did, he hit the nail
as exactly upon the head as it was possible TO
