A correspondent of the New York Herald thus
contradicts statement made by another Washington
correspondent OF the same paper:
q have n to believe there is truth in the
that the Cabinet have had under discussion the
subject of the recent newspaper intelligence from
Honduras that the Secretary Of State has been d.
reced todemand explanation from Great Britain. 1t
is quite unusual for the Government consider every
newspaper rumor authentic, and, so far from the
intelligence from Honduras creating sensation il
is regarded as of very questionable veracity. l know
that the President has not spoken the subject to
any of the Senators, is the Committee Foreign
r Relations that any steps whatever have been
taken 10 demand satisfaction, as has been stated.

There was great throng in TIE galleries this morn

AIR. Everett addressed the Senate on the subject of
Central American affairs. He made graceful in
MISUNDERSTANDING TO his connection with the govern
ment as Secretary of State and the correspondence lie
had, as such, upon Central American affairs. He
likewise alluded most gracefully 10 his recent en-
trance into the Senate of the United States. The
tice taken of his action by Mr. Douglas, in his recent
speech, he considered high compliment.
Proceeding then to his subject, he expressed
the opinion that The treaty made by Messrs Clayton
and Bulwer the best thing that could be done
under existing circumstances. He spoke of the dis
position of England the causes OF dispute
between Is, and he said he had no doubt that, on
proper representation, the Government of Great Brit
ain would disavOw the erection of tie Bay Islands
into colony. He did not aPprshend any danger of
war between tho two countries.
In the of his remarks, he complimented the
President for having made, so far udicious appoint
ments to foreign courts, saying he had every conf
dence that the President would send suitable min
lister to the Central American States 70: it is more
important who is thilher than to London, Paris
or St. Petersburg.
In his reply to Judge Douglas, he said he did not
want to annex Cuba, Mexico, any other territory.
Just let US have twenty-five years of peace, under
the mild and progressive spirit of institutions,
and we will have additional territory to our hearts
content.
The gentleman was highly eloquent and spoke
upwards of Two hours.
Mr. Douglas made explanation, whea on motion

I
The MANS. What is the matter with the mails |?
There is certainly screw loose somewhere. We
nave received no papers from Raleigh later than the
oth AS for the Raleigh Register, we have received
only TWO copies in the last three four weeks Our
other eastern exchanges come very rregularly. Are
these the hrst fruits of the new Administration
dsherilic Spectator.
The Editor of the Spectator knows that for the
last six months the Mails have been very irregular,
owing in some degree to the condition Of the roads,
but mainly to the lack of proper energy and fdeI-
ity on the part of some of the employees Of the
Fillmore administration. It is also known, in adj
dtion to this that the Mails in this State have
been robbed-hundreds of dollars have been alb
stracted by some person or persons in the employ
ment of the government; and this robbery has
been going on for months.
The Spectator shows a disposition to censure
the new administration without cause. The paper
containing the above bears date the 9th March,
only twelve days after the Inauguration of the
President. The new Postmaster General is thus
blamed for that which was the legitimate result of
Wing rule and which he could not, by possibility,
have remedied or prevented.
The readers of the Spectator may Judge, from
the above, what reliance ought to be placed on its
statements
