After long and tedious session, the Senate yes
serday passed he Nebraska bill it from the
House by vot of thirtyive to thirteen, and chat
measure now N erely awaits the signature Of the
President to bee ONE the law of the land. The Sc.
majors came up to work, and plumply voted down
eyery proposition to amend. Indeed, it was the
only course that &C uld be pursued. The pquant dc
hate. which CONNIE need between the Southern whig
Renotors on Wednet day continued and the crimina-
&;ons and recriminst ions became so fierce and fur-
oua that the intervel ltion of the EergeantatArms

cation of the impen ding dissolution OF all the old
worn, eaten political parties Of the country. Let
the fight go on.

CENTRAL AMERICAN AFFAIRS.
A revolutionary outbreak, having for its object
the overthrow of the existing government, has, we
learn by onr last advices taken place in the repub
kc of Nicaragua the principal leaders being Senior
Castellen and number of others who were exiled
IN November last for political intrigues. They ar
rived from Honduras at the head of a strong force
and after taking possession Of Realijo end Gilman
daga, were about to march upon Leon, and from
thence to the capitol Castelon, who is regarded as
the leader Of the revolutionary movement, j. said to
be q man Of great abilities, and entertans til
enlarged and liberal views of policy towards this
country. Should he succeed, as is more than pro
commerce with Nicaragua, and particularly on mat
Of the United States. Casnorro, who is the ruling
President, is, on the contrary, opposed to admitting
Foreigners to any privileges, end above ALL adverse
Do our citizens. He is the inveterate enemy Of
everything that looks like reform, and in this re-
spect he may be said to be true reflection Of the
character of the people.
From San Juan we learn the details of a serious
outrage which YVES committed on the person Of the
Hon. Scion Borland our Minister for interfering to
prevent the arrest Of Captain F. T. Smith, an Ameri
can citizen, on warrant from the Mayor Of Grey
town. Mr.. Borland was not only threatened with
personal violence, but meeting Of the people Of the
town was held ut the station house-the Mayor pre-
siding-at which it was agreed to arrest him, A
body of men, armed with muskets, and consisting
partly Of the regular police, headed by Jamaica
negro proceeded to the Louise of Mr.. Fabius, where
Mr. Borland happened to be, to carry out this object
Whilst Mr.. Borhnd was demonstrating with them and
representing to them the serious consequences to
which they exposed themselves, the Mayor came up
and denied that he had authorised the proceeding
This shifting Of the responsibility from his own
shoulders had the effect Of intimidatng the remain
der of the party; but before the crowd departed
the fragments of glass bottle were thrown at Mr..
Borland, inlicting a slight wound on his face.
These outrages were repeated during the night, and
gun fired at boat containing three American
gentlemen, who came to consult with Mr.. Borland
"a TO the steps necessary to be taken. In conse
quence Of these violent and lawess proceedings on
the part Of the people Of San Juan, the services of
q body OF fifty men were engaged to afford the ne
cessary protection to the persons and property of
our citizens until our government was informed Of
the existing state Of affairs. Mr.. Borland is now in
New York, and is about to lay statement of the
facts before the President.
The city Of San Salvador was totally destroyed by
an earthquake on the night Of Easter Sunday. Up
wards of two hundred lives and more than four
millions Of property were destroyed.
