P. |. ADRIANCE & co.'s DEPARTMENT.
New York Matters.

Persons visiting New York city, either on
business or pleasure, or en- route to the North,
East, or West, or having any kind of business
to transact there, either in person or by letter,
are confidently referred to the following cards,
as representing the principal establishments
there in their respective departments of bust
ness, and whose proprietors are to be relied on
for doing the handsome thing, whether receiv-
ing orders in person or by mail. 1t is always
natural question in the minds of intendent
purchasers, both wholesale and retail, where
they can buy the best articles at the lowest
prices. There is no question but that New
York city is the National Depot of all kinds of
goods, in their newest and cheapest state; and
We are certain that the establishments repre-
sented by the following cards are the largest,
best, and cheapest, in their respective depart
ments of business, in that city, and consequent
Iy in America. Their proprietors are known
to be enterprising and liberal minded business
men, governed in all their dealings strictly by
the rules of mercantile honor ANY of them
will promptly and faithfully attend to all orders
by mail or otherwise; and we are ready to
guaranty that every order by mail will be filed
as satisfactorily in every respect as it could be
done In person in New York or any other city.
Those contemplating purchasing in that direc-
ton would do well to cut this department out,
and preserve it for reference

AS soon as this speech was finished, Captain
Bell, formerly of Illinois, and Captain Cutter,
formerly of Boston, made some remarks ex-
planatory of the terms of this verbal treaty.
The FIVE prisoners alluded to are those arrested
by deputy sheriff Fame, 80 that it will be seen
Governor Shannon virtually ignores the bogus
laws at last. We thought it would finally come
10 this but not so soon. The Free State men
gave Governor Shannon the greatest attention
throughout. There was good deal of cheer
ing. and most of our men were satisfied with
the terms of the agreement; but it remains to
be seen how faithfully they will be carried out
by his Excellency. POTTER.

ton is made is the importance of preserving
neutral the route of the proposed interoceanic
railway through Honduras.
such are the terms of the arrangement be-
tween Great Britain and Honduras, and it will
only require the approval of the Legislature of
Honduras, which will be given, of course. 1t
should be observed that the Government of
France has agreed to the article guarantying
the Honduras railway, as an appendix to the
treaty with Honduras already existing. 1t is
well understood that these guarantees secure
an amount of public interest in this railway
which lnsures its speedy construction.
In respect to the remaining Issues in the Gen.
trail American complication, it has been agreed
between Lord Clarendon and Mr.. Dallas. that
the port OF San Juan de Nicaragua (Greytown)
shall return under the sovereignty of Nicara-
qua, subject, however, to the same stipulations
with the Bay Islands. The Mosquito SOW
ereignty, 80 called, is to disappear forever, and
the Mosquito Indians are to concentrate them
selves within certain defined territory, within
which they shall have, for a term of years, such
Possessory rights as accorded to the In
dams on the American Reservations" Mean.
Tune, they are to enjoy small annuity from
the state OF Nicaragua, to be fixed by arbitra-
tors, who are to be appointed in the same man
ner with those charged with similar duties in
Honduras.
Such is the final result of the Central Amer
ican imbroglio, and we cannot doubt but that
1t will prove satisfactory to all parties interested
with the possible exception of Guatemala.

Mr.. Brown pursued similar line of argu
ment. He was unwilling to admit that those
laws were unconstitutional, and that therefore
Congress was bound to blot them out OF the
statute-book. Some of them were unjust and
outrageous, to be sure; but some of the laws
OF Virginia might be outrageous, too; and was
that any reason why Congress should interfere
to prevent their execution The people who
make their own laws are the best judges what
laws they need; and after giving them the right
to make their own laws, Congress had no power
to interfere and overturn those laws. Ii Con
gress can do that it might as well make laws
itself for the government of the people OF the
Territories, and abandon the idea altogether OF
popular sovereignty.
On motion of Mr.. Hunter, the Senate, at a

HOUSE.
MIR. Simmons, from the select committee to
investigate the alleged assault by Mr.. McMulliu
on Mr.. Granger, made q report setting forth
the testimony and every particular of the oc
currence, the reading of which produced some
laughter.
The majority of the committee, Messrs
Simmons, Petit, and Eide, say the evidence
shows that the party who first resorted to the
use of personal chastisement for words spoken
Extensively was Mr.. McMullin, as he was the
first who resorted to threats and the use OF
threatening gestures with his hands or fists
The language and manner of Mr.. Granger had
been certainly provoking, though probably not
intended to be 80, but his acts had shown nc
symptoms of an intention to resort to violence
or disposition to attack Mr.. McMullin other
wise than by words"
The minority, however-Messrs. Smith Of
Virginia. and Fuller of Maine-say that Mr.
Granger voluntarily entered into the CONVERSE
ton going on between two gentlemen, in its
character offensive to no one, and with a man
ner conspicuously rude, and in language in
sulting and profane; and in 80 doing accom-
panied it with gesticulations, and, without ne
cessity, rudely pushed aside or struck down the
hands or arm of Mr.. McMullin.
The reports were laid on the table,
Mr.. Letcher offered resolution, which was
referred to the committee on printing, shat
ten thousand extra copies of the report and
evidence in the case of Simmons, for and on be.
half of Mr.. Granger Us. McMullin, be printed
for the use of members of the House." This
gave rise to much merriment.
Mr.. Harris, ofMaryland, made an unsuccessful
effort to proceed at once to consider the unfn-
ished business of last session.
Mr.. Wakeman offered resolution, the OBJ
ject of which was to make a proper deduction
from the pay of members who, by reason of
"psiring off," shall decline to act or vote in the
House.
Pending which, the House, at a few minutes
of o'clock, adjourned.

IMPORTANT NEWS FROM ENGLAND.
Settlement Of the Central American Question
b Treaty between Honduras and Great Britain
The Mosquito Professional Abandoned.

BY the steamship Herman, arrived at this
port from Southampton, we have dates to Aug.
Is, 1856. The Central American question has
been definitely settled. So far as Honduras is
concernen, the matter has been arranged be-
tween Lord Clarendon and Sr. Don Victor Her
ran, Plenipotentiary of Honduras, in London.
The treaties drawn up by these negotiators
have already been signed. and consist
LIST. Of general treaty of amity and COM
merce.
I'd. Of convention for the djustment of all
claims of British subjects on the Government
of Honduras, and for the extinction of any In
dian (Mosquito) tribes within the Territories
recognised as pertaining to Honduras; and
Sd. A convention for the restoration to the
sovereignty of Honduras of the Bay Islands.
The convention for the restoration OF the
Bay Islands is that which, from the eircum-
stance of their occupation and colonization by
Great Britain having been regarded in the
United States as fragrant violation OF the
Clayton and Bulwer convention, frst claims
attention, and will excite much interest. The
convention restores these islands to the SOY.
ereignty of Honduras, only STIMULATING, on be.
half of the people who haYe established them
selves there under the British occupancy, the
perpetual enjoyment of certain rights and priv.
ileges. The ground upon which the restora
