: EBALTIaOREANs EN- ROUTE FOR NICARAGUA--lt
was stated in our New York letter yesterday that
Capt. G. Carroll Hicks John Kingsley and J. G. Hem
mick were the parties arrested in that city on the
charge of being about to sail in the steamer Orzaba
for Nicaragua to join Gen. Walker. The afidavts of
Jacob H. Jones and Frank H. Savage, on which the
arrests were made charged the following persons as
having s:set foot military expedition Tor the pnr
pose Of joining Gen. Walkers army against Costa
Rica1: W.H.Jenkins, J. C. Hemnch, John Kingsley
G. G. Hicks, James Mullen, Jr., j. FL. Wilson, w. A.
Jenkins, Ferdinand Bates, Jacob Shurtz. Only three
arrests, however, were made. Capt Hicks protested
earnestly against being taken into custody, and de-
clared that he not citizen of the United States
but an officer in the army of Gen. Walker, in the
vice of an independent State that had never ac-
knowledged the authority of the federal government
Several of the parties named Baltimoreans, and
left this city last week. with the avowed intention of
embarking for Nicaragua. baltimore Sun, 1lth.
Pretty business for the United States authorities to
be engaged in. Why not establish the European pass
port system at once, and be done with it! In de-
spotic countries, men travel where they please,
and when they please, if their passports right,
without being molested Or interrupted. Their doc
uments insure them immunity and protection. =
Here, however, where the odious system is un-
known, and where we boast unlimited freedom,
people subject to be arrested and imprisoned, be-
cause they desire to leave the country in direction
not agreeable to the government Hurrah for liberty!
Let universal "shrek for freedom peal upon the
startled air We've got the name, at all events, if
we haven't anything else

Brooks: a q ssJ7s8
:. 4 4, X PAg1s, KY, March I2th; 1856.
Dear ST-On my return home from q short vfsis
to neighboring county, yonr favor OF the first inst
was placed in my hands, and in reply to it make
this statement Late in the summer or early in the
fall Of l844, in company with some dozen or fifteen
gentlemen, dined with Mr.. Clay, at Ashland the
Hon. George Robertson formerly Chief Justice Of oar
Court Of Appeals,Was of the party. AS the company
were taking leave after dinner, Mr. Clay suggested
to Judge Robertson and myself his wish that we
should remain after the other gentlemen should have
left. We did so-when Mr.. Clay informed as that he
had received aycomnunic from some Native
American organization of Pennsy declaring in
favor Of the principles of that Increment, and re-
questing, if his opinions were in accordance with
those communicated to him, to give expression to
them, and authorize their publication Mt. Clay dis
finctly and without reserve stated his adhesion to
the Native American principle and theR added, he
wished TO consult with us aa to the propretT Of his
authorizing his public avowaI Of this opinion Asthe
Nat!Ve American principles had not been adopted
by the Wing party part Of its creed and as the In
teryensng period u the election was short both Judge
Robertson and myself expressed the opinion to Mr.
Clay that he had better not authorize his support
OF the Native American principle TO be made public.
We suggested that II would be an impor and IN
expected move BY him, that would necessarily disturb
for the time the pnbic mind and that there would
not be sufficient time before the election for this
principle TO have its proper and legitimate effect in
reference to himself with the american people. Mr..
Clay expressed his concurrence in these views.
Mr.. Clay did not read, or hand to Judge Robertson
or myself the communication which he had received;
nor did he enter into particular detail 81 its CON

DEsERTIoN OF TRISTAN D'AcuNHA.-Anneration
Ertra-The ship Peruvian which arrived here yester-
day. brought outthe entire family the late Mr. Glass,
commonly called Governor Glass of the Island of Iris
tan d Acunha. We do not know thee3act number of
those who arrived, but it looked pretty large, as
they landed at the wharf, and we should think there
must have been upwards of twenty in the whole, con-
sisting Of women and children, and, if we mistake
not embracing the entire population of the late Gov
ernor's colony, though cannot be quite certain
to that. We believe the Glasses have concluded to
abandon the Island altogether and take up their per-
manent residence in the United States-probably in
this State. Tristan d'Acunha may, therefore, he
considered as annexed to Connecticut, which is we
believe, the first instance Of single State having

sU1o1DE-The Newark IN. j. Eagle says that a
young man named John Shetland, committed suicide
there, recently, under peculiarly determined circum
stances:
Just after the Doctor had left him, his wife went
into the room with basin of water for the purpose
of bathing his feet, and beheld him before the mirror
with a knife in his hand in the act of cutting his
throat She screamed for assistance but in vain for
needless of her cries and apparently deaf to her
monstrances he struck the fatal blow and expired
shortly after The disease it supposed had reached
of insanity.

ENGLAND AND AMER1cA-The London Spectator,
in the course of an article on Great Britain and the
United States says that the whole question of hostility
or no hostility has been created that side and in
addition adds: 'F
The bullying articles that we export justifca-
ton for bullying articles that side, and for bullying
speeches in Congress and our own statesmen desire
in turn justification from the bullying they have
provoked. The sober men on the other side have
their conductors here appearances Notwithstanding
but the dust that the noisy folks suffered to raise
hides those two practical parties from each others
sight. As to the 6 questions between the two
tries, they are not in themselves difficult There are
difficulties to be overcome, but they may be over
come. The greatest chance to procure settlement
in either case would be q fair discussion, and an
appeal to the spirit justice on both Sides Nothing
hinders that appeal but the bluster and nothing,
truly believe, permits the clustering to have been
called forth but the passive Ignorance or indifference
of the English public,

. SINGULAR TASTE OF A MALE Ass-Thereis is in the
possession of farmer near Bolton, England says "a
Contemporary, male ass which is known to be fifty
years Of age. He is named BILLY" and prefers to-
bacco to any other luxury He is likewise very fond
of pinch Of snuff Our informant (says an English
journa has within these few days, seen Billy mast
cate large quid of pgtail with as much relish as
any Jack tar in her Majestys service. When he had
finished the tobacco pinch Of strong rappee ad
ministered which Billy snuffed up without the least
demur, and curling up his olfactory organ, delivered
one Of those charming solos peculiar to his species
