Interesting from Nicaragua.

BY tile steamship prometheus, Captain Churchill,
which arrived yesterday from San Juan de Nicaragua
having sailed the 9th, received the Granada Ell
heterogeneous, of the 2lst ut from which we CLEAN
several items Of interest.
The uneSampled and inezcusabe conduct of the
Administration at Washington, in refusing to receive
the Hon Parker H. French as Minister from Nicar
aqua, has excited much feeling in that country And
no wonder But the feeling did not vent itself in
empty words It led to decided acts. AS Mr.. Marcy
has assumed that the present Government of Near
aqua did not truly represent the feelings Of the people
there, President Rvas has concluded that Mr. Marcy
does not represent the popular will of the United
States and has suspended all diplomatic intercourse
with our Government as will be seen by the following
decree

Well, here is a pretty kettle of fish,, all damaged
by the antedeuvian cooking of old fogy Marcy; and
if it should lead to other complications, the whole
dish will be in danger Of being spoiled. But, as we
are convinced the government of Nicaragua enter
tains an abiding friendship for the people of the
United States, notwithstanding the unustiable con
duct of the Administration, feel persuaded all en-
tanglng alliances will de avoided

Conference.-The American Almanac, for 1855
contains statement collected from the returns of thu
Clerks of the Courts under the head Of Crime, from
which it appears that Of the 1893 convictions hat
before the courts of the United States, from 1871 tt
1854 nclusve-a period of fourteen years-95 48 wer
of natives of the United Ststes and $3.50 foreigners
The New York Journal of Commerce says:
the native population Except slaves) in 1850 wa
s57 1884, while the foreign population was PA GAS
it follows that the same ratio Of convictions anon
the former, as took place among the latter, woul
give 49, GOO instead Of 9,54s; a times as many
actually occurred. In other words, the number {
convictions among foreigners was a times as greo
, as among native Americans, in proportion to tn
population of each class"
