CENTRAL AMERICA-DR. KANE.

From Our Own Correspondent.
WASHINGTON, Wednesday, April l6, 1856.
The telegrsphic news of the defeat Of Walkers
forces in Costa Rica creates much sensation here.
The Government has no other intelligence than the
general account. Previous information Of the
probability that Costa Rica would receive foreign
assistance renders the present statement more
plausible. The truth is Walkers forces have been
grossly and purposely exaggerated throughout, and
he has relied rather on the weakness of tie enemy
than bis OWL strength If this disaster be confirmed
it will give practical solution to the difficulties
of the Transit Company and may tend to hsrmonire
the Central American question, which was greatly
embarrassed by his presence.
After an earnest struggle the resolution reported
BY Mr.. Tyson from the Library Committee for
purchasing fifteen thousand copies of Dr. Kane's
Arctic Expedition Report, and granting medals to
him and his men, was carried through the House.
1t has now to undergo the ordeal Of the Senate, but
may be regarded as safe.
The statement that Mr.. Bell of Tennessee, was
about retiring from the Senate on account OF i'm
paired health, was wholly fabricated. He has not
been as well in ten years, and his friends hope be is
destined for longer and higher service.

THE CINCINNATI Observation-Disclosures
BILT.
From or Own Correspondent.

From Own Correspondent.
WASHINGTON, Tuesday, April Is, 1856.
1t ia now pretty we'll conceded though reluct.
antly in some quarters that the Virginia delegation
at Cincinnati will 90 for Gen. Pierce, with re-
versiouary interest to Mr.. Hunter, in the event Of
the formers defeat. There is good understand
ing between the friends of these parties and though
each may ultimately strive to outwt the other still
they are now working in concert and will pull to-
gether at least for time They who sanction this
policy have no expectation that Gen. Pierce will
be nominated, ard acting under that impression
they do not sufficiently estimate the influence which
their united vote may exert in determining the NOM
inatcn. If the whole South should apply the same
sort of reasoning it might be discovered when the
Northern allies came to be counted that the result
had been accomplished which was neither desired
nor expected. Doubtless the Virginia patriots will
discover before the first Monday in June that per.
sonal considerations demand acrifces which those
of expediency forbid. And in that event they will
retreat Just as rapidly as they abandoned 'Jeems
Buchanan" 10 1852. The Old Dominion scents the
coming breeze afsr OF, and has always the good
sense never TO permit principle to interfere with
interest. Her distractions are the0retlc IN the
discussion of political dogmas, but they are emf
nently practical when addressed to the Federal
o cheq er.
So far IS power can be exerted upon the Gin
cinnati Convention from this central point, the
effort will be to have the - Hard" delegates from
New-York excluded. Looking TO this consumma-
ton. they are already denounced here as afiliating
with "KnOw-NOthings, and disOrganizers Of
Demeeracy-unworthy Of confidence and entitled
to no consideration. Indeed, the family jar, are
becoming quite interesting and if we can only for
once have discretion enough to let them fight
their own battles. there may be a Kilkenny con-
clusiOn 10 this vindiciive warfare.
Senior Robales. the new Mexican Minister, with
Mr.. Iturbide, bis Secretary had an official inter-
view With the Secretary of State this morning,
and will be presented to the President formally
tomorrow, or the next day This gentleman was
in Washington a year ago, being driven to exile
by Santa Anna, and he then made an impression
upon all who had the opportunity OF contact with
him which is remembered greatly 70 his sdyan-
tage. Those who are we'll qualified to form u-
dicious opinion, regard him as among the foremost
public men of Mexico. and as one yet destined
TO attain higher h0nOrs than that which he now
enjoys.
The mails of the Washington reached here yes
terday but brought 10 dispatches from Mr.. Dallas.
Intelligence from private sources was received,
however, WHICH Indicated decided reaction in

The bill proposing to remove from circulation the
smaller Mexican and Spanish coins, and establishing
their value in receipt for Government dues; aso pro-
vding for the coinage of new description of cents,
was passed.
Mr.. SEWARD presented joint resolutions providing

sentiment among al classes In England. sod is suia
to hsve reached the ministry. These accounts
Justify the belief that Mr. MArcys famous despssck
of the 25th OF December viii DOW receive very
different answer from what the temper OF tss
British press and the debates In Parliament fore
Swallowed month or two $50, is probable. And
it is quite likely this reply will be cOmmunicstedb By
the next or succeeding steamer. The dutyof pro
pairing the paper was conhded TO the permanent
Under-Secretsry in the Foreign Office, under the
supervision OF Lord PalmerstOn. When completed
l. will be sent 10 Paris for Lord Clsrendons sigma
ture, unless the Pesce Conference should, in the
mean time adjourn, aud be return 10 London.
This latter contingency will depend materially
upon circumstances over which he has no control.
for there is reas6 70 believe some OF the difcul
ties interposed in concluding the negotiations arc
more serious than have been supposed. At beat.
however they only involve question Of time.
As yet the last attempt OF Mr.. Vanderbilt has
attracted no better sympathy, or elected any
deeper interest, than the former sbo.tiye effort
They hear but do not much heed him. Still, every
new development of facts will be properly consid-
cred, and if the Government can consistently in
any other aspect Of the than has yet been pre-
sented, exercise its good Offices be will receive
them but not otherwise. The whole business has
been bungled from first to last by the parties inter
ested and they have only themselves to blame.

BY the arrival of the steamer George Law we
have advices from California Oregon, the South
Pacific Coast, and Nicaragua. The amount Of gold
by this steamer is nearly $500, 900. The news
from San Francisco is to March 90 but includes
no features Of special interest. The STATE was suf-
fering severely from drouth, which had prevailed
to great extent for the past seven weeks. The
mining and agricultural operations OF the country
had suffered seriously in consequence. The Legis-
lature, which s still in session, appears to have
transacted no business Of general interest. From
Oregon we learn the continuance Of Indian bostili
ties, of which full and interesting details will be
fosnd elsewhere in our columns The news from
Nicaragua is important Great excitement about
tie war prevails in Costa Rica- Col. Schlesinger,
at the head of four hundred troops has been at
tackled and defeated near San Jose by five hundred
Costa Ricans under Gen. Mora. A private dis.
patch received in this city announces the return OF
Walker to Californis, but this is not confirmed by
any adsices which have come to hand in our files

The supply Of beef cattle yesterday at the great
market in Forty-fourtb street was abundant in
point of numbers, though not Of quite as good
quality as the week before, and the prices without
material variation from last Wednesday-that is
ten TO eleven cents per pound for the beef of first
quality, and eleven and half to twelve cents for
those of extra quality. The price of sheep never
was as high, perhaps az it is now since mutton
was first eaten in Gotham.
