~ A few days since, some workmen, in
digging on the bank of the KeDguskeag stream,
about two miles from Bangor, Me turned out
n deposit Of silver coin, amounting to about
forty dollars in value. These coins are of the
size of a ninepence and a common cent On
on one side is head, and On tho other an In
dian with bow and arrows and one star. The
letters on one side appear to make tho word
" Victoria" with three letters additional
The lettering on the other side we could not
decipher. The money is quite thick and very

Spicy CONTROVERSIES GROWING OUT OF
NIcARAaUAN AFFAIRs.-The New 1ork her-
aid contains a long correspondence between
9.neraIs Goieouria ard General Walker, Of
Nicaragua 1t appears that Gen. doicouria
received a mission to England for the purpose
of furtheripg certain financial and other pro-
iects for Gen Walker. First-To convince
tie English and French Governments that
General W alker's political views were directed
to the establishment Of an independent cor
federation or military colony in the South,
intended to act as q counterpOise and check
TO Northern interests and Northern aggres
siOns. Secondly-To obtain financial aid in
the shape Of loans based upon this under.
standing, as also upon the promise of the es
Enlistment Of such tariff in Nicaragua as
would amount to a virtual recognition Of the
principles Of free trade. Although not stated
in 50 many words, it is clear from the context
Of these letters that such were the purposes Of
the English mission. When Walker decreed
the re-establishment Of slavery in Nicaragua,
Goicouris declined proceeding with his mis-
sim, feeling confident that no aid could be
acquired from England in favor of Slavery.
The Herald Of Saturday has another batch
Of Nicaraguan correspondence, wherein the
principal contributor replies Indignantly and
contemptuously to Goieuris. DIR. Edmund
Randolph also cuts in with a sharp note that
savors Of pistols and coffee. Thus
81 have only to remark further, that in this
Transit business Don Domingo Goicuria is an
intruder, with a dishonest and treacherous
intent; and that, knowing the import Of the
language / use, shall remain at the Wash
ingtOn Hotel, No. Broadway, until o'clock
tomorrow, and longer if it is the pleasure of
Don Domingo Goicuria-
EDMUND RANDOLPH"
The charge Of dishonesty and treachery
made by Mr.. Randolph against Gen. Gouicou-
ria caused the latter to send to Mr. Randolph
. verbal challenge to mortal combat, which
Randolph refused to receive, and required his
communication to be made in writing. Gen.
Goicouria Immediately sent a written chal-
lsnge, which was promptly accepted, and a
hostile meeting is expected to take place to-
day between the parties.

ANOTHER BLOW AT THE HOOPS "A few days
since, as Roxbury friend, at the close OF his
lsbors of the day, was enjoying q comfortable
ride home from his office in the city, in an ON
nibus partly filed with ladies, q gentleman
upon the sidewalk signalled the driver to stop,
and throwing open the door, sprang into the
vehicle. His first step towards q seat, unfor-
tunately, influenced somewhat by the sudden
motion of the coach, brought his right foot in
contact with lady's dress; and as, with a
hasty expression, he strove to extricate it from
the embraces of the hoop. he was suddenly
plunged forward and in a twinklipg found his
left foot in the same unfortunate connection
with a hoop on the other side. This was more
than our hero bad bsrgained for. For a mo-
ment he seemed fairly nonplussed "1ood
