LEGATION OF NICARAGUA,

NEW YORK, Dec. IL, 1854
The undersigned has informed himself of the
contents Of the note Of the Hon. Secretary OF
State af the 30th ultimo, iu reply TO that which
this legation had the honor TO send on the 22d
Of the same month, asking for the application
uf the neutrality laws OF the United States
against certain American citizens who, under
specious pretexts, intend to violate the rights
and the territory Of the Republic Of Mica
ragua.
The Hon. Secretary of State, who, according
to the terms of his said note, Seems to consider
this grave matter under different point OF
view, declines to accede to the just wishes OF
the government of Nicaragua, because be does
not consider them applicable to the actual case,
and on account Of the peaceful character Of the
company referred to, which company, it is al
legged, is an association for business pur-
poses"
The undersigned cannot but express the
deep regret produced in his mind by the con-
tents of the communication of the Secretary OF
State, of the 30th Of November last, because il
seems to him that, in the said communication
the character and the circumstance of the as.
sociaton referred TO are entirely misconceived
and overlooked.
What is the origin and what is the character
Of this company
A concession obtained, in 1889, by some in.
dividuals Of Jamaica, in the midst Of the ex.
cesses and disorders of disgusting orgie, from
the brutal intemperance of the chief Of an In
dian tribe--a concession annulled subsequently
by the successors Of that chief, and fraudulently
transferred to certain American speculators,
who, in hotel in New York, undertake to dis
pose, without the slightest authority, Of almost
thirty millions Of acres Of foreign property
This property is distributed by them in portions
Of one hundred and fifty acres, and held out as
an inducement to the innumerable class OF per-
sons who abound in the populous cities Of the
United States
This is public and notorious; and, perhaps,
the Hon. Secretary Of State may be aware that
part Of the "busiEessn Of that company Is to
establish within the Territory Of Nicaragua a
new republic" with foreign President
That is TO say, TO organize stains in statrt,
which will contribute to augment the confusion
and the anarchy Of country now unhappily
rent by political convulsions, which strangers

DOMESTIC TROUBLES OF THE CAR
The following private letter, dated 9Th in
stant has been received from St. PETERSBURG.
:" In consequence of the receipt of the affairs
Of the 9th Of November, the Empress has had
a serious and even alarming relapse. The
courier found the Emperor in the apartment Of
the Empress, awaiting the news with feyerisb
impotence; and when the truth was declared
to him he could not restrain his feelings. but
broke out into the strongest expressions of dis.
satisfaction and anger against his Generals
and his army. One exclamation which escap-
ed him respecting his sons greatly alarmed the
Emperess, who was aware that they were with
the army at Sebastopol she feared that some
terrible calamity had befallen them, seeing the
agitation Of her husband, and she tainted
away. She remained for some time insensible !.
and it was with much difficulty that the Empe.
ror and the attendants succeeded in restoring
her to animation. She became more calm when
informed that nothing had occurred to her
sons; but her health has seriously suffered
from the shock caused by the defeat OF the
army at lnkermann, and she has now TO struO-
gle against an increase Of debility and A low
fever. The greatest alarm is felt for her. and
her recovery is considered very doubtful indeed
The solemnities of the anniversary of the acces.
sion to the crown were very limited this year !;
they were confined to mere religious service
in the churches. Amid the fears which the
presence Of the allied fleets had occasioned us.
and the danger they yet menace, you can
scarcely have an idea Of the desperate efforts
making here to complete the armaments Of
every kind for next spring.
~ see that foreign journals say good deal
about the pacific dispositions Of our court.
This ] believe to be completely mistake.
The contrary is the truth. Persons placed in
a very good position at the court declare in the
strongest manner that neither the Imperial
family nor the high functionaries Of the empire
manifest the faintest desire to accept unre-
servedly the conditions proposed by the Wes-
tern Powers. As TO Austria, every one here Il

The Passion for Gaming.

How irresistible, when once acquired, is the
base passion for gambling. Few there are
who, when once they hazard sum, have cour-
age and determination TO throw off The spell
that is upon them and thus save their fortunes
and their respectablily And how many
thousands there are who annually go down TO
isnominy, and perhaps death, through their in
satiabe desire 10 try again.
We have case in point: Barnabas Bates,
an aged, and in former years, an Industrious,
thrifty farmer, was yesterday, and the third
time within week, picked up in the streets in
a state of stupor. Upon searching him at the
Station House, fifteen blank lottery tickets
were found In his pockei-book. He was placed
in cell, where he slept off the effects Of The
liquor he had drank, and when sober Reason
had assumed her sway he experienced the
most poignant grief.
His story is lameniabe one. Bates mar
ried young, and Tor years cultivated small
farm three miles from Utica. He was indus
trious, honest and coniented Fortune smiled
upon his efforis, and his labors were rewarded
with bountiful crops. In time, he amassed
quite fortune-some twenty thousand dollars.
He was blessed with goodv number Of SINS
and daughters, and bid fair TO go down to his
grave in peace, but twelve years ago, he was
induced TO "try his luck,' and purchased a
lottery ticket.
The passion once acquired, he could not stop,
and from that day 10 this, he has been con
stanty gambling in lottery tickels-worlhless
bits of parchments. His farm, his wife and
children are all gone. The farm for lottery
tickets, his wife into her grave, and his chill
dren married and scattered in all quarters. He
came 10 this city some two weeks ago, having
in his possession the last of his worldly effects
Yesterday the last penny was squande.ed, and
he now stands fair prospect Of finding home
in the Peniientiary. He remarked 10 CheI
Morgan Yesterday, that he was a ruined man,
that life was Indifferent to him, and that he
cared not what disposition was made with his
case.N Yet said the old man, | blame no
one, twas all my own fault brought this on
myself | am sc years old, and | know
haven't much longer TO STAY What lesson
does the experience of this old man teach The
rising generation Albany Argus.

A bit of Advice.

Have you enemies Go straight on and
don't mind them. Ii they get in your way,
walk round them, regardless of their spite. Al
man thai has no enemies is seldom good for
any thing-h is made Of that kind Of material
which is so easily worked that every one has
hand in it. A sterling characier-one who
thinks for himself, and speaks what he thinks,
is always sure 10 have enemies. They are
necessary TO him as fresh air they keep him
alive and active. A celebrated character, who
was surrounded by enemies, used 10 remark
They are sparks which ifyou do ddtblow will
go out themselves Let this be your feeling,
while endeavoring 10 live duwn the scandal Of
those who are bitter against you. If you stop
to dispute, you do but as they desire, and open
the way for more abuse. Let the poor fellows
ialk-there will be reaction, if you perform
but your duty, and hundreds who were once
aienated from you, will flock TO you and ae-
knowledge their error.

OLD BUT GooD.-An exchange has the fol-
lowing: Have yon observed how soon a man
assumes ihe s,archness Of his dickey, when
the people elevate him a little, The lower
the office, as general thing, the more impu-
dent you will find the occupant. Some Of our
local pet bank cashiers put on more airs than
the Governor of the State-while we have
seen The boss Of two horse railroad line much
more difficult TO come al than the Judge Of
Supreme Court. The President is far more
accessible than the Secretaries, while the Sec
retaries are more accessible than the clerks
The most inso'ent man we found at the White
house was fooiman. The fact Is, the more
burkwhcat a mans head contains, where
brains ought to be, the more he runs away with
the idea that being sassy and keeping his
hair slicked up is being dignifed. Did you
ever notice the matteff
