Correspondence Of The N. Y. Tribune.

Correspondence of The N. ?. Tribune
MARACAIBO, Wednesday, April 2, 1856.
Since my last letter but little news of Importance
has transpired. The natives are very much excited
about the menaciDg attitude of the Dutch Govern
ment, which claims heavy indemni6cstion for the
losses of the Dutch subjects in "Coro." few
weeks ago an American citizen, named Johnston,
died here under very suspicious circumstances.
Some think be got killed by falling out of the canoe,
while others suppose that be was killed by the re-
lations of "female greaser" with whom he had
been living for several years. All that is known
is that lie was found dead on the beach, all covered
with blood, and with several large wounds on the
head No examination of the body was made, and
il was buried, after The fashion Of this country on
the same afternoon. On the same day Mr.. swift,
the Amer lean Consul took possession OF his estate,
believed to be worth about 50,OOO. The woman
then instituted lawsuit which, as she says shal
prove that she was partner Of Johnston, ana 70
this effect produced sort of letter purported 70
be written by Johnston to friend, In when ne
alludes to the woman as his partner. Stll, no
documtn mt of copartDership was found, nor did the
books prove any to exist. The letter Is believed
TO have been written by son of the woman, VINO
could initiate JOhDstOb's handwriting perfectly.
This morning pamphlet appeared signed oy
another son Ofthe oman, native quack physician,
in which he handles the Consul in most unmer'
cifal manner, accusing him of anything and every.
thing. The paper is headed Foreigners and
Natives" and concludes with q warning to the
foreigners to beware Of tie day
when the zIessers shall meet them In battle array"
Now, funny though this may look, it has serious
side, because it augments the bad feeling which
already exists between the natives and foreigners,
and msbes the former assume meDaeng attitude.
An occasional visit from one Of Uncle Sans steam
erswould settle all this very quickly. Without this,
the Lord knows what may happen.
Our city is siill free from cholera, but business
is Low duller than ever, owing to partial failure
of the coffee and cocoa crop; and the market is
moDstrously oyerstocked. There are no American
ships in port.

PARLIAMENTARY PROCEEDINGS.

The proceedings in Parliament have been OF inter.
est Lord Derby had asked Lord Clarendon when
lie would lay on the table of the House OF Lords
the papers relative to the Central American Cues
top and also those regarding the enlistment Of SOL
ders in the United States He said the Importance of
the subject demanded that time should be lost in
giving full information to both Houses.
He charged that Lord Palmerston had repeatedly
promised that there should be no delay but no one
was more nge NOUS than be in proracting the produc
ton of I'll pleasant correspondence, until it became i'm
possible TO discuss it.
Lord Clarendon (who was cheered on his reap
pearance) replied: His first act ON his return was to
lay the Central American papers on the table lie
would have the enlistment documents ready in few
days.
Lord Palmerston likewise had laid the Central
American correspondence on the table of the Com
mons and said that the Enlistment papers would be
ready in few days.
Sir f Bulwer replied, saying that on an early day
he would give notice of the exact terms Of the reso.u
ton on American affairs.
Lord Lyndhurst gave notee that on an early day he
would lay before the Lords report on the state OF
Italy, and its continued occupation by Austrian troops,
thereby causing dscord disturbing the political equi'
libiium, and endangering the peace Of Europe.
The Marquis of Clanricarde moved for copy of the
Consular correspondence respecting Austrian nterier-
ence in Parma.
The Earl Of Clarendon said the newspapers ex'gger-
ated the condition of Parma the battalion OF the Aus
TRANS being merely called in to preserve quiet When
Lord Lyrdhursts motion came up he would give
further explanations.
Lord Mamcsbury stated that he would bring for
ward his postponed motion spplauding General Will
ams for bis defense Of Ksrs but declar ng that the
fall of that fortress ewing to the bunders Of the
British Government
Other motions are before Parliament by Mr. Otway

GARRICK OK.TICs.-tdmund Kean was a
iavore Of Mrs. Garrick, the widow OF the c,ebrat-
ed actor. Whenever it was desirable that new
performer at DWry Lane should make hit, the
committee used to bring the old lady out to her pri-

said so, and this went tie round of the papers ac-
cordngly. In the case of Kean she sroke honestly.
He did remind her Of her husband, and was nearer

CONVERSATION IN THE DARK.-If we take it first
ard last ali through life, it's really amazing what
raft OF people we've heard and seen. Especially in
hotels.
1t has been Mace Sopers luck to be very frequent

pened he has been pretty generally about certain
to hear willing or unwilling, considerable that wasn't
spoken to him. Particularly when girls were in the
next room Not giving myself credit for any espec.
al cuteness, can't brag OF ever having got up any
wise theory on the subject but it does seem to me
that the queerest, widest and most amazing speeches
L have ever heard in my life from mortal lips always
came from people l couldn't see. MoreOvtr-and
everybody'u agree with me il he'll rake out his own
experience lltte-l maintain that no two people
can talk N the dark to another as they do in the

they'll as soon believe that they've been talking lnjun

Which reminds Mace Sloper of talk he once
heard IN New Jersey hotel. l had quietly smoked
myself into regular nap such as the good alone en-

up too who was sleeping there in advance of him.
