MORE INFERSAL MAcHINEs.-Int the Lon

gencer we find the following:
"The Napal and Military Gazette has a
dismal account of an internal instrument of
warfare in the possession of the Gar l
have had rumors of it before, but it never
received any specific embodiment until it
was thus announced
"'The inventor of the Internal submar-
inc machines, stated to be in the possession
of the Emperor of Russia, for blowing ships
out of water by the aid of an eclectric wire,
is a Frenchman; and when he communica-
ted his invention TO the Russian govern
ment for cosidcration, he expressly stipu-
lated that in case of war between France
and Russia, he should be at liberty to give
his own country the benefit OF the discov-
cry.
1t is further reported that on Friday last
this gentleman was received at the minis
try of marine, and, in the presence of n.
Ducos and board of naval officers, ex-
planned the fearful means of destruction
which he claims to have originated. The
board, incredulous at first, closely examin-
ed the matter, and in the end were very
much struck by the demonstration, and not
little alarmed. Sir Charles Nepier, on
the admission of the inventor, was already
prepared for what he might have to cncoun-
ter. A teligraphic dispatch was immedi
ately sent off to warn Admiral Parseyal
Deschenes. / give the story as l have
heard it from very good authority, but of
course all accounts of mysterious long
range destructive inventions must be receiv-
ed with all due caution"

our Minister in Central America has sent
home Treaty, by the hands of the Secre-
tary of the Legation, Mr.. Bcelan, made
with Nicaragua. The Treaty provides that
the United States shall recognize as establish
ed, the boundaries of Nicaragua, and in
cludes the Mosquito country within her
limits. The United States Government is
thus made to guaranty the disputed claim
of Nicaragua, to the country of the Mosqui-
to Indians. The object of this treaty is of
course, to place the U. S. Government in a
hostile position towards the Government of
Great Britain on this question, in pursu-
ancc of the policy adopted by Mr.. Squier,
while he was Minister to Nicaragua.

IMPORTANT DEcIsroN,-We find in the
New York Journal Of Commerce the report
of a case of importance to business men
generally:
Inc action was against the endorser of a
note dated February Z, 1851. for $500
payable on demand, with interest. The
maker failed in November, 1851. and a
month before that, was known bv the
plaintiff to be in failing circumstant les; and
between two and four months before thew
had spoken to him about paying the note.
and he told them he coula not pay it then,
but it was good, and that they should not
be uneasy aboutit. Their agent. who act
ed for them, said on his testimony-"I he'd
no uneasiness about the note at all, because
| was satisfied the e,adorser soas GOOD and
therefore it was not matter of much i'm
portance, and it lay; we could not get the
money from Davis" 1t was decided that,
after the note was six months old, and the
holders were satisfied that they could not
collect it from the maker, they were guilty
ofsneglect In not making formal demand
of payment, and notifying the endorsers Of
non-payment. Itwas held that they had
no right, after that, to delay, because they
were satisfied the endorser was good
This was not good faith to the endorser, and
the plaintiffs must bear the consequences
of it. They delayed making demand un-
til January Is, 1852. Tha! was too long,
and the endorser was discharged. 1t was
further decided that the reason of this rule
applies as much to a note payable on de-
mand, NTH interest, and on which the en-
dorser puts his name for the accommoda-
ton of the maker, as to an ordinary note
payable on demand. 1t cannot be inferred,
in either case, that delay is intended to be
allowed under such circumstances as are
stated above. Consequently, judgment
was given for the defendant"
