The New Orleans Picayune says:-"When
the Ericsson engine is introduced on the Missis-
sippi river, and Ohio, Red, and the Arkansas,
where one hundred men are now employed on q
boat, twenty or thirty will be employed; and
where one hundred dollars worth of fuel will be
used, something like ten dollars worth will be
substituted. New Orleans will then be better
able to compete with the East and North, than
she now is for freights will fall enormously, and
the river will thus be enabled to compete to some
advantage with rail roads,

Bo The city of Philadelphia was the theatre
of tragedy Thursday night, which for atrocity,
stands unparalleled. Two women--sisters-on
married, the other wdow-were found Friday
morning brutally murdered in the front parlor of
their residence in Federal above fifth street. One
of the women-Mrs Lynch--wife of a marine,
who had been paid off the day previous, and
who had deposited eight $50 gold pieces with
her and left the same day for New York-had
no less than forty-one wounds upon her body,
five of which entered her heart; the other had
seventeen wounds upon her body. Plumber was
evidently the object Of the murderers, as all the
trunks and drawers in the house were broken
open and rfied. After perpetrating the foul
deed, the murderers attempted to fire the premi-
ses. but failed. A number of arrests were made
by the police Friday, but no clue had been OBJ
tanned as to the guilty parties.

SENATOR CLAYToN.-The Washington cor
respondent of the n. Y. Journal of Commerce
writes;
Considerable interest was felt in MIR. Claytsn's
yindication in the U. S. Senate from the charges
of Gen. Cass, in relation to Mr.. Cayton's course
upon the exchange of Publications of the Clayton
Bulwer treaty The charge was, that he, MIR.
Clayton, had kept back fom the Senate the fact
that British Honduras was. in protocol, excep-
ted from the operation of the treaty.
The note of Mr.. King, who was Chairman of
the Committee of Foreign Affairs, showed tina
the fact was perfectly we'll understood by the
Senate, and that the treaty was ratified by the
Senate with the understanding that British Hon.
duras was not included 10 theterm Central Aner-
lea. Mr. Clayton complained that Gen. Cass
never did him the justice to revoke that charge,
and he regretted that Gen. Cass was not here,
ia order that this matter could be now explained.
Another accusation was that he, Mr.. Clayton,
had kept the protocol from the knowledge of the
President and Cabinet This. he showed was
untrue--the whole subject having been under
Cabinet advlsement. Mr.. Clayton also alluded
to the report ofthe Committee Of Foreign Affairs,
lately made this subject, and showed that some
of their views could not be maintained, in rea-
tion to the right of Guatemala to the Belize.
IMPORTANT FROM SAN JUAN.-Serious Dis
tUTOQnceS InTeQtcncG.-W q learn through pfl--
vase letters received by the house of w. L..
Cushing & Co., of this city, that at the time the
Pampero left San Juan, disturbances of serious
nature were threatened between the citizens of
San Juan or Greytown and the VANDERBILT Mica
ragua Transit Company. AS is we'll known, tho
depot of the Transis Company is located a
point across the mouth of the river from Grey
town, and at this depot the Company has stores,
with supplies of all descriptions, which fur
Dished to passengers going either way, thus COM
pletey monopozing this branch Of trade and
cutting off the citizens of the from all par
ticipation in its benefits. Numerous complaints
have been made, which have been unheeded,
until at last the citizens have become exaspera-
ted, and strong has the feeling become, that
unless the depot is removed to Greytown, open
warfare is anticipated, indeed, canno and am
munition had been purchased and the determine (
tion was. to demolish the Company's buildings,
unless the depot was removed.
Mr.. Baldwin, agent ofthe Company, has been
arrested and imprisoned for using threatening
language against the peace of Greytown. He
was, however, released on Messrs. T. l.. Harper
and Fl. L. Stevenson becoming security for him

IRREGULARITY OF THE MAILs.-There
has been considerable irregulari,y of late in
the receipt Of the mails due here from Bal

the Pos. Office department, will exert itself
to find GU. and correct. Sometimes it hep
pens that two mails are missing a, time,
and scarcely week passes in which this
thing does not occur. As an instance, the
mail due here last Saturday, from Baltimore
