WHIcu SHALL WE BELIEvE-The Rich
mond Enquirer says: who are abolition
lists? All who say that the Douglas Nebras-
ka bill does not legislate slavery into the
territories"
That is one side Of the case and is easily
understood. On the other side, Doug as
says, "any body who asserts that his bill
legislates slavery into the territories, lies
THAT too, is easily comprehended. The
deduction from these premises is either that
Douglas & Co. are GbOlitionist8, or the editor
Of the Enquirer is liar.

either of them, we leave this interesting

Important from San Juan-The Mosquito
Protectorate Abandoned.

WAsH1NGToN, Oct. 3I.--I am informed
from an undoubted source that the British
government has issued orders to its naval
officers and diplomatic agents in the West
Indies and Central America, which amount
to the abandonment of the Mosquito pro-
tectorate as far as Greytown is concerned.-
These officers are directed not to interfere
there any farther than to protect recognized
and bona fde British subjects not to assert
any right of sovereignty or any jurisdiction
over the place not to intermeddle with any
quarrel between the Transit Company and
the town, or with any controversy that may
there be going on as respects titles to land
or the right of possession, and TO leave oc-
cupants and claimants to settle 1T as they
can. They are not even to lend any support
to the titles to land issued hitherto by the for
mer British vice consul at the place Claims
of actual British subjects for damages in the
HolIins bombardment are to be taken no.
tice of, and to be reported, butnothing more.
And if the American vessels in the port sa-
lutte the flag of Nicaragua, or any other flag,
nothing is to be said or done against it. In
a word, the protectorate is altogether aban-
doned, at least at San Juan; and if Nicara-
qua could now take possession of the place,
she would meet with no opposition from the
British government.
Costa Rica has also taken an important
step in that region. Some forty or fifty
miles above the mouth of the San Juan, a
considerable stream, known as the San Car
los, empties into that river. At the mouth
Of the affluent there is an island command
ing the navigation of the San Juan, and
this island Costa Rica has garrisoned and
is fortifying. At the same time size has
notified the Transit Company that she is
about to take possession OF the entire
right bank of the San Juan down to its
mouth, territory she has long claimed
This includes Punta Arenas, where are the
buildings of the Transit company, which, i
/ the design be carried out. will have to de
camp to the Greytown side of the river. l
may be doubted, however, whether Costa
Rlca can raise soldiers enough to execute
such scheme N. Y. Tribune.

FRE.-Last evening our citizens were
alarmed by fire, which was found TO be in
the large warehouse occupied by Brown &
King, belonging to Charles Butler New
York, near the foot of Oak street. The
flames spread with a fearful rapidity, soon
spreading TO the warehouse of Scott & Co.
The fremen We're soon ON the spot, but their
exertions were hopeless, though vigorously ex-
ercised. Both warehouses, and large share
of their contents were consumed. The loss
of the warehouse of Scott & Co., including
goods, was about $4,000; of the warehouse
of Brown & King, including goods S20,O0O
We understand that on the latter building
$4,000 was insured. Mr.. PeterC. Morross,
of this city, lost stock of goods in Brown
& Kings warehouse worth 1000. We new
er saw fire spread with such rapidity-
Great complaints arc made that the citizens
generally did not cooperate with the fremen
and interested parties, in rescuing property
from destruction.--LToledo Blade, 7th.

PROHIBITION IN PENNsYLvANIA.-The re-
suit of the recent vote on the temperance
question in the Keystone State is attracting
some attention, III consequence OF many
singular features that have been developed
Cities have generally been regarded as offer
ing the strongest resistance to prohibltory
liquor laws, but, in the recent vote, the city
of Philadelphia gave 1850 majority for "a
prohibitory law. and Pittsburgh gave over
5000 majority for the same. On the other
hand, the counry has generally gone strong
ly against the law. 1t is proper, however,
TO state, that the farming sections that have
voted by so heavy majorities against prohi-
bition, are those portions settled by the Ger
mans and the Irish. Berks, Bucks, York,
Northampton, &c, are instances of thlS.-
The strong mining counties have also gone
against prohibition but the mass of their
population is also composed OF foreigners.
On ;he other hand the northern and west
ern counties Of the State, which are mainly
settled by emgrants from New York, and
New England, have given large majorlties in
favor of the law. IN a vote OF 100000,
the majority against prohibition is probably
not over 5000. In this aspect Of affairs the
temperance papers do not think a pyohibitory
law advisable, as it could not be enforced,
More stringent measures about license will
probably be adopted, and that is about all
which can be done at present.-lO. s. Jour.
FAILURE OF Mr.. BECKEL.-We are sorry
to find the following in the money column
of the Cincinnati Gazette, of this morning
Mr.. Beckel, of Dayton, who has been
engaged extensively in railroads, banks, turn
pixies, &c, has been in trouble for two
weeks OaSt and was finally forced to SuS-
pend day before yesterday. He owned the
Miami Valley Bank Of Ohio, the Wayne
County Bank of Indiana and another lndi-
ana bank, the name Of which we do not re-
collect. He is also principal owner of sew
eral turnpikes, and is a heavy stockholder in
various railroads; besides which he has a
large amount of real estate. Unless his
possessions were greatly over estimated, he
will be able to pay all his debts. The note:
of the three banks referred to are secured by
the deposit of State stocks. Another prom
