ADDITIONAL NEws FROM HONDURAS. Gen.
Uoiker's Erpioits.- Capt Nickerson, Of the
brig Helen jaue, from the ports of Oinoa and

Dec. %, relates 10 the Boston Traveller several
matters of interest. The report that Cabanas
was the frontiers with four hundred American
rihcmen and one thousand native troops. has
scared Gen. Guardiola who says he will not tight
the Yankees, as they are irresistible. and he
states that tits his intention TO leave Honduras
should the Americans enter.
The prevalent feeling among the leading ma
tives of Truxillo, and more especially those en-
gagged in mercantile affairs, is that of neutrality
in the matter of change in the government OF
the country. If Walker should cume and sue
coed in establishing himself, they shy that they
arc willing to give him trial They have for
long period been suffering from weak and
changing governments, that any government.
having the element of stability provided the prop
erty of the inhabitants is respected, would be
welcome.
Capt. Nickerson says that the reports there
were to the effect that Walkers army was in
creasing and that he expected to be in a short
time at the head of two thousand pen. The time
for the election of President of the Republic
of Honduras according to the provisions of the
Constitution would shortly arrive. That officer
is elected by the votes of two chambers. the Sen
fourteen members. The anti Cabanas and anti
Walker party, from present appearances, will
not attempt to elect their candidate. especially if
the reported invasion by Cabanas and his Amer
lean allies becomes actual fact.
The Inhabitants willing that settlers should
have all the land they want, and grants have been
promised by Walker to his soldiers.
The req ored discovery of iich gold mines in
the province of 0laucho Honduras. was exciting
considerable attention at Truxillo A California
cared that it must be rich digging. aud started
off for personal inspection Several other Amer
leans had also left for the mines.
A letter received at Truxilo. makes some state
ments in regard to the capture by Walker.of the
town of Grenada, Nicaragua, (said to be the
strongest place in the country. having a popua-
ton of ten thousand,) which we have not seen
before. When Walker entered the place, at the
head of about 30 Americans.he found Chomorro
the President Of the Republic, with his oicers,in
a ball room.
Entering the yoom, Walker waved his sword in
the air. crying out, "lIurrah for Democracy"
and took all present prisoners. Before he left
the room, Chomorro was compelled to sign art
.ces of capituaton, but afterwards, finding how
small was the force to which he had surrendered

not to give up the place. This letter by some

HE WEATHER IN THE CRlMEA- 1musemenis.
The correspondent of the London Times wri.
ting on the 2ls December, from the Crmca,
says:
Winter is now come upon us in reality and
we have had for the last few days some very
cold weather. On the night OF the 18th the
thermometer went down to eight degrees below
zero in the camp OF the engineers, fourth divis-
ion. This was by self CIRCULATING thermome-
ter. At 10 A. NJ. on the 10Th it was only three
degrees above zero. This is nearly or quite equal
to Canadian cold, and as might be expected n
great number of men have been more or less frost
bitten. have heard of no serious cases among
our men. The French suffer a great deal from
cold. The other night two French soldiers went
into of our guard rooms in Sebastopol
and asked for some coffee and to be allow.
ed to warm themselves by the fire.
Our men gave them some coffee and biscuit
and they sat down by the fire. One of them
took off his shoes (he had no stockings) and be-
gan rubbing his feet, which frost bitten. -
In about ten minutes he got but staggered and
fell dead, to the great horror of the English SOL

CENTRAL AMEmoA.-A correspondent of the
New Orlee ms Delta writes from San Juan:
kinney and his Expedition are in rather a
bad way. Walker has outdone him. The ma
jority of his men have joined Walker Kinney
j. without money in fact. he brought none with
him, and this is the principal cause of his want
of success. He undertook to do big business
without capital, and, ns is usual in such cases,
failed. In addition to this, he lacks some quail
ties necessary to success.
The country, however, isgradually settling.
Those who have opened places are doing well.-
Several of the working men withdrew from the
expedition shortly after their arrival here, settled
on Indian river built houses, put in crops of
corn, plantan-planted fruit trees, &c. they
are doing well. and value their places at $500 or
$1,000. The woods afford an abundance of anne
aud the river the finest of fish. Indian rive is
place of resort. 1t will in few years be

America About its gold know nothing. On

five miles. and there has been no sickness among
the settlers either river"
