the property seized in Nicaragua and we hear also
that Conn odore Vanderbilt is negotiating with Mr.
Garrison, who came by the Orizaba with good pros
pect ofplacing the affairs Of the Company upon good
basis again. The memorial to the Court az inst the

The Fulton arrived to-day from H49re bringing
s41 900 in doubloons. The shipment from Boston yes
terdsy by the Liverpool steamer was s7Ss, ,635 all OF
which we1t from this city. This is some three hun
dred thousand dollals less than anticipated As
far as we can at present ascertain the shipment from
here on Saturday viii be considerable less than the
general estimate The shipments OF the last four
weeks have doubtless beendncreased by the recall of
foreign capita by parties who feared hosttes be-
tween this country and England. We know OF one in

This. however. has now ceased with the cause, and
| nothing but trade balances are shipped
