THE UNITED STATES REVENUE CUTTER JOSEPH LANE AND
PERUVIAN SouADRoS-SIAxruL CONDUCT OF THE pKRu
vASs.We have received from private source some in
formation in relation the United States revenue cutter
Joseph Lane, under the command Of Capt. b. Nones
from which 1t appears that that vessel lying at York
Roads, Straits Of Magellan the Goth Of September last
Up to that date she had been lying there-about week
waiting for the arrival Of Peruvian squadron con-
sstng Of three Steamers which, by previous agreement
had engaged to tow her through the straits The squad
ron was on its way TO Peru from England where the
steamers had been constructed and were at the tune
under the command Of Peruvian captain, who had
upteered to perform that service whou the slightest
request from the American command. The Joseph Lane
had the Peruvian flag flying at the fore aud her own en-
sign displayed, that the score Of gno-
rance be alleged for the shameful conduct of the
Peruvian. The squadron passed close by the Joseph
Lane without even paying the honor passing salute
giving the least indication Of recognising vessel
Such conduct cannot be too strongly condemned and in
this instance nothing can be urged either TO justify
or extenuate It. Captain Nones relied upon the
word Of the Peruvian and imagined that it would
be falshed in emergency where even the common
courtesy Of navy to another would be freely exer
cised The Joseph Lane daily visited by the Pata-
gonan Indians, and picked up in the Straits whale boat
containing six Peruvian sailors who had been wrecked
in that latitude 1t supposed that the squadron had
seen them before, but had neglected TO relieve them

the Speaker of the House have thus far been
realized, and the division upon the several can

satisfactory clue to speedy election, or to the

in political matters since previous advices. The
cholera disappearing rapidly. The President
had been attacked with the prevailing epidemic,
but had recovered. Coffee, Indigo hides and cotton,
came into market very sparingly, consequently
prices continued high, which caused freights to be
dull. There were no American vessels in port.

TaE NOMINATING CONVENTION OF THE AMEnr-
CAN PARTy--A PosTroNESENT CALLED Fof.--
The National Convention of the American
party for the nomination Of their Presidential
ticket has been appointed to meet on the 22d
Of February. Some Of the leading American
organs are opposed to a nomination so early,
and think it had better be deferred to the first
Of June or thereabouts, by which time, it is
thought, the black republicans and the de-
mocracy will have shown their hands. Apart
from this consideration, we think that the pro-
ceedngs of this week in Congress will show
the expediency on the part of the Know
Notbipgs of waiting little longer. There are
agood many rough corners in the organiza-
ton, as national party, that want shaving
down before they can expect to run their two
passenger buggy around the course. We are
glad to see that they are beginning TO find II
out.

EXPLOITATION OF AMERICAN Sailed MEATs--
We publish in another column an important
report Of the French Academy of Sciences on
the nutritive qualities of the sailed meats ex-
ported from the United States and Buenos
Ayres in which q considerable trade was some
months since done in France. The sudden and
almost total cessation of that trade led scien-
tific men TO investigate the causes Of it. 1t
appears from the report Of the distinguished
chemist appointed by the Academy to analyze
them, that the meats of this country contain a
much larger proportion of nutritive elements
than those of France; but, owing to the manner
in which they are sailed, they lose their savory
essences, and are consequently not relished by
consumers 1t is suggested that soma other
mode of curing should be adopted, and an
opinion is expressed by the report that if this
could he effected under favorable conditions,
American meats would come into very general
and successful competition with those of Euro
pean countries With the lights that science
affords us, this recommendation does not seem
to us very difficult to carry out. II fruits and
vegetables can be preserved fresh in hermeti-
cally sealed vessels, we cannot see why the
same plan might not be adopted with meats.
In Mexico, and other parts of this continent,
animal food dried in the sun is said to preserve
for long time it's nutritious qualities. Can
not similar experiments be made for the pur-
poses of large foreign trade? The induce
ments offered are, we should think, sufficiently
tempting to direct the attention of our scien-
tiflc and commercial men to the subject.

" Sick Headache Remedy.--A remedy for
the sick headache, which has been recently offered
to the public is attracting great attention, not only
by reason of the very satisfactory testimonials TO
Its efficacy which have been volunteered by many
who have been benefited by it, but also because
there are so great number of people who are af.
nicted with the distressing complaint, for which
no medicine has before been made public Dr.
Eastman, who discovered the efficacy of his ssrem.
edy," is physician in this city, in high standing,
with large practice. He is physician in whom
great confidence is placed; and we do not wonder
that his remedy for very common disease, which
has been so long needed has attracted the attention

LEGATION OF NICARAGUA,
NJ II ~

New YORK, Dec. 80, 1854.
7b he President cfhe Nicaragua accessory
Transit Company
SIR According to information received at
this legation, il appears that several Of the in
dividuals belonging TO the company OF which
you are the President, have taken direct
and active part in the illegal projects of the so
called Central American Land and Mining
Company;" and that the steamers of your com
psny sailing to San Juan will be made use Of
to carry out this scheme, which is one eminently
criminal and violative orthe sovereignty, rights
and interests of the republic of Nicaragua.
This information is, to a certain degree, con.
frmed by publications made in the papers Of
New York and other cities
therefore deem it my duty to inform you
that this legation has protested, in due form,
to the Government Of the United States against
the purposes of the above company, and also
that the republic OF Nicaragua has not recog-
nized, nor will it recognize, any concession or
expedition which shall not receive the formal
appreciation Of the competent authorities Of the
country.
II appears incredibly that Nicaragua Com.
pany, like that of which you are President
could in any manner have part or completely
with the projects Of the adventures who con-
stitute the socalled Mosquito Colonization
Company; since any such completely would
entail upon the Transit Company the loss of
the exclusive privileges which It now enjoys,
and the advantages which it possesses from the
republic Of Nicaragua.
1t is only proper for me, Mr.. President, to
inform you of the views Of Nicaragua in this
matter, in order that your company may be ad.
vised of the measures which my government
will take, and has, in fact already taken, against
all persons and corporationswb shall, directly
or indirectly attempt to violate the rights, laws,
or territories of the republic of Nicaragua. /
have the honor to be, &c, &c,
