A plot was laid some months ago to blow up a

Of stove pipe, filled with powder and stopped up
at the end. under the track--to have train Of
powder leading from themine several yards along
the side Of the track, mixed with percussion
caps, 50 that when the locomotive crushed and
ignited the caps, and fred the train Of powder,
the passenger car would be directly over the

TROUBLE BREwING.-The Washington eorre-
spondent Of the New York Courier and Enquirer
states that official advices of much Importance
were brought by Mr.. Buchanan, by the last
steamer,
Lord Palmerston, after years of solicitation for
decision, has at length explicitly declared that
Her Majesty government will not conform to the
American construction Of the Clayton and Bull
wer treaty--will not abandon the new colony Of
the bay Of islands; will not recognize the old
boundaries of the Central American republic
as those intended by the treaty, and will mot
relinquish the protectorate over the Mosquito
Islands. The @. and B. treaty is therefore re-
pudiated in both countries, and therefore no
longer exists. This unexpected change in the
relations Of the United States towards Central
America will lead to NEST important politi.
cal revolution. The enterprise Of Walker and
Kinney will soon bring up the question Of an.
nexation in form which cannot be eyaded.
Two separate propositions for the annexation of
the States have already been made to the pre-.
sent Administration, the sole obstacle to which
was the G. and B. treaty.
