Mr.. CLAYToN's DEFENCE The
correspondent of the Journal of Com.
mcrcc at Washington thus speaks of
Mr.. Clayton's vindication of his course
in regard to the Nicaragua Treaty:
considerable interest was felt in
MIR. Clayton's personal vindication from
the charge of Gen. Cass, in relation to
Mr.. Clayton's course upon the cx-
change of notifications of the Clayton
Bulwer treaty. The charge was, that
he, Mr.. Clayton, had kept back from
the Senate the fact that British Hon
duras was, in protocol, excepted from
the operation of the treaty.
The note of Mr.. King, who was
Chairman of the Committee of Foreign
Affairs, showed that tho fact was per-
fectly well understood by the Senate,
and that the treaty was ratified by
the Senate, with the understanding
that British Honduras was not in
cluded in the term Central America.
Mr.. Clayton complained that Gen.
Cass never did him the justice to re-
woke that charge, and he regretted that
Gen. Cass was not here, in 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 I'M
true-the whole subject having been
under Cabinet advisement. Mr.. Clay
ton also alluded to the Report of the
committee of Foreign Affairs, lately
made on this subject, and showed that
some of their views could not be main
tanned, in relation to the right of Qua
temala to the Belize.

the following ensued -
In reply to Lord Lyndhurst. Lore
Aberdeen stated that no communication
had passed between this government
and Austria, or any other European
power, with respect to the asylum af.
forded to the foreign refugees in Eng
land. A conversation cnsued on the
subject, in which Lord Brougham and
the Lord Chancellor joined.
FRANcE.-It is generally believed
in the best informed circles of Paris
that the Legislative Assembly will be
abolished by the Emperor at no dis
tant day. Already the much.vaunted
value of the services of the Council Of
State, especially in financial matters
are looked upon as the note prcparato

nant of a parliamentary government
will disappear.
AUsTRIA.-It is again, and very au
thoritatively, announced that applica-

Mazzini, and other refugees. In one
of the last sittings of the Germanic
Diet, the representative for the little

pressed the Federal Assembly to Join

to the above effect. Prussia, however,
has refused to associate in this propo-
sitlon against England.
TURKEY.-Ielcgraphic dispatches,

Porte having conceded all the de-

letters from Paris, however, state that
there is a diversity of opinion respect

THE LIQUOR LAW IN ST. ALBANs.
During the past Fall and Winter, it

Street brawls, and noisy disturbances

On the eighth man was arrested
for selling liquor, and half a dozen wit

their choice either to testify or to view
the landscape from behind the grating
of tho county jail. They all testified to
having purchased liquor of the ares
ted man. The trial is not yet conclu-

On Saturday, the Sheriff and his

diligent search of certain premises,
but found no liquor, for the reason

FYler,s Butter-Worling Churn.

We have given particular examina-
ton to new kind of Churn, invented by
Mr.. o. II. Fyler, and patented last July,
which claims superiority over other kinds
now in use. In its construction it is
simple, naturally exciting wonder that it
was never before thought ola pretty
good test, by the way, of really useful
and ingenious invention.
The vessel is shaped much like many
othcrs-a short horizontal cylinder
within which is "dasher" of two wings
turned by crank. These wings are d.
vided so as to pass between three or four
parallel rods, running obliquely from
top to bottom of the churn. BY this
construction, each revolution of the crank
causes the cream to be broken four times
twice By each wing in passing the par
allel rods, or rack After the butter has
come" the rods arc taken out the butter
milk is drawn off, and the butter is work
ed and sailed, without difficulty, by the
motion of the "dasher"
1t is claimed for this churn that it
saves from sto IL per ct of butter which,
in other cases, would be lost in the but
termilk-an important saving 1t has
been quito thoroughly tested, we under
stand, and works to the satisfaction of
those who have tried it. There are sizes.
The Butterworking Churn is manu-
featured by G.. c. Hall, at Brattlcboro,
and is for sale in this town at the store
of u Beckwith. The proprietor and
general agent for the State is Henry
Holmes, Esq, of Grafton.
