are substantially as follows: When the Orizaba

landing of his passengers. Upon this Information
he started for the town, and met Capt Tarlton.

no obstacle was interposed and the passengers pur
sued their journey This act is claimed to involve the
national indignity of cOerciye visitation but il in
not shown, that force was employed on one side or
resistance on the other. 1t is hardly to be sup
posed that an American captain tamely and unpro.
testiDgly submitted to a search Of his vessel or
that if the oiense had been perpetrated it should
have been concealed from the public so long with
so many avenues of communication open. And
what is more surprising than all IT, that the Captain
did not at once, upon coming into port report the
facts to the Government and demand some suffi-
cient action. This postponement until the partial
subsistence Of the recognition fever excites the
impression in some quarters-perhaps mistakngly
that there were other inspirations at work be-
side those which appear upon the surface, and
that one purpose was to revive a cause which was
daily dropping into dependency. This inference
may be unsustaned, butt there are collateral cir
cumstances that provoke it, aud whicbmay be dis-
closed hereafter.

OUR FOREIGN COMPLICATIONS.

From Our Own Correspondent
WASHINGTON, Friday, May 9, 1856.
The recognition of Walkers ambassador, Padre
Will, is sill undecided The probability now il
that the determination will be deferred until the ar
rival of the steamer at the beginning of next week.
The Cabinet is about equally divided in regard to
this policy. One vote vibrates from one side to
TO the other.
This pOstpOnement may be indefinite, especially
if ClarendOn's answer is received in few days, 40
now anticipated. The Administration will direct
attention to that subject Immediately, and that it's
importance will overshadow everything else may be
assumed with certainty.
Correspondence with England will be closed az
soon as decorum will allow; and unless some unex3
pected contingency is presented, Champion will re-
ceiye his passports in few weeks. There il no
disagreement in the Cabinet On this point.
The Administration has no particular informa-
ton to send in in reply to the House and Senate
resolutions calling for information with regard to
Nicaragua and Panama affairs. An affidavit was
filed in reference to the affray at Panama yester-
day by one of the spectators of the aray. 1t con-
curs in general with the intelligence already re-.
ceiyed and rather throws the blame Of originating
the afray on our side. The most serious allegation
IT, that persons believed TO be police fired on the
depot, where innocent passengers had collected for
security. stern investigation will be instituted.
and perhaps an officer of the State Department will
be cent to the spot. The dispatches of Col
Wheeler, the affidavit Of the Captain of the Orzabss
mentioned yesterday, and various loose statements,
comprise all the papers concerning Nicaragua in
possession of the Administration. They throw no
more light on the subject than is already known to
the public.
Mr.. Champion gave grand reconciliation dinner
TO the Ministers Of Russia, France, and Others, ON
Wednesday evening This is the only social occa-
ion in which the three first have personally par.
icipated since the wor began. The entertainments
was brilliant and Was engened by tho presence d,
the ladies of the Legations now in the city.

We believe there is no other city of equal size
OursgeOusly overtaxed and fleeced as this City of
New-York. The levy for the current year will fall
little short Of ten dollars per head for our entire

here are few. Our thrifty citizens are nearly all
new men, who began life with nothing some ten to
Thirty years ago, and whose accumulated capital
bears no proportion to their current business. Our
Six Millions year of taxation must be taken out of
cur current earnings-must be added to our rents,
must operate as q mortgage on all our real estate

The few receive, but the many pay at last.

ries are nadequately paid Where else are police
men or other subordnates paid better if so well
Who ever knew the office Of Mayor Recorder or
Controller go begging because Of the inadequacy Of

Our confidence in the integrity Of Mayor Wood
is we'll known to be moderate, but we have fair
opinion of bis sagacity. Resting upon this, we
predict veto on the Councils bill to increase the
salaries Of our best municipal Offices, If the Alder
men should have the temerity to pass it. But if it
should become an ordinance, we do not believe the
Controller will touch the share of the filthy lucre
spportioned TO him. If he doe' we repent in dus.
and ashes the support We gave him last Fall.

From Our Special Correspondent
WASHINGTON, Friday, May Q. 1856.
The great work Of to-day was in running the
Iowa Railroad bill through the Senate. This bin
gives Iowa about two millions of acres to build
four parallel lines of road across the State. The
bill will close every landofice liz that State and
throw about all the unsold land into the hands o.
the railroad. 1t passed the House yesterday and
tits expected the President will give it his signature.
The House. after three days irrelevant discussion
upon the subject, voted the third Committee Of
Conference on the Deficiency bill--only a single

WASHINGTON, Thursday, May g. 1856.
There are so many versions of the lamentable af-
frsy which occurred at Wizards Hotel this morn.
ing, that discretion and fairness require suspension
of opinion Until the facts judicaly investigated.
Others may find acceptable cauge for comment on
such an occasion, and apparently revel over the
sad details of tragedy awful. My tastes Lie in
different direction. Whatever extenuating facts
if there be Anyway be urged on behalf of Mr..
Herbert, the unfortunate homicide, there can be
nore certainly pleaded for his appearing armed at
breakfast table, and ready to respond TO the in.
s!igatons of passion with an instrument which has
proved but too 'atal in its aim For that disre-
gard of law and outrage upon society he is deeply
culpable, and the more for the reason OF occupy
ing position Of honor and dignity, which at least
claimed an illustration ofthe prophecies ofclvlzed
lie. Criminal prosecutions have become so much
farce, either By the mistaken cemency OF juries
or tie equally improper Interpolation OF Executives,
that murder and manslaugbter stalk abroad not
only unwbipped Of justice, but boldly defying the
frowns Of the good and the virtuous. And such
will continue TO be the case until the laws are ad-
ulinstered uprightly, and stern and striking eI-
amples Of public reprobation signify that crime
must be followed with punishment.
No effective steps have ye: been taken to bring
the Padre Viii into personal contact with the
Secretary Of State, or the President. -Four days
have elapsed since he appeared in this scene, and
yet with oil the pressure and urgency that have
been employed, he still fingers in suspense. Such
was TIE fate of his immediate predecessor, who
csme decorated with the same sort of credentials.
The philosopher who said that the true study Of
mankind was man, did not err in the estimation Of
the Padre. He is assiduOusly pursuing that study
at this time, and ike sen,ibAe observer, first d.
recling lis attention to the men high in authority
