transit because it is five hundred miles
on either than that by the Isthmus and lies
more directly along our own coast, and furnishes an
opportunity to connect with New Orleans and Ia
vana-a matter of much consequence We shall
therefore make schedule for that route although
so far as our port is concerned, the Isthmus
and Tehunantepec lines would be as advisable, and
our argument equally as strong; but by the first
named we are now prepared to show that the Mails
via Wilmington can be delivered in Washington in
seventeen QD days. The present time for an ordi-
nary steamer from San Fancisco to San Juan del
Sud Tor St. John of the South) the Pacific, is ten
days. gentlemen, now at our side, has just passed
over it in that time, but say the Golden Gate,
fast boat, could do it in eight days. but we put it
down at nine days. Thence across by the lake and
river to St. Juan or Greytown, takes one day, and
from that port to Havana can be easily in three
days, and from Havana to Wilmington in the same
time; thence to Washington is now done in one day,
audit be run in lesstime Unnecessary: making as
before stated the whole time consumed in the tran
sit of the Mail between the two extreme points, San
Francisco and Washington, seventeen days; which
would be equa, to delivering it at New Orleans in
ten days. for it would take days to transmit it
from New Orleans to Washington, and longer to
reach any commercial city that had any interest in
its contents.
As, no doubt, endeavors may be made to under
value our River and Bar, would state, that there
is sufficient water for steamers Of twelve to fourteen
hundred tons, which are as large as would be re-
quired, as owing to the smoother water, the sea is
much more easily navigated by steamboats, in South
ern than in more Northern ATTITUDES. This fact is
made certain by the running of our boats fourteen
times week for seventeen years, with no accidents
ever occurring, and losing less trips annually, than
the large boats in Long Island Sound. In this con.
necton we would state that our port viii soon afford
better opportunities for furnishing fuel for steam.

 The first mass meeting of the legitimate democracy held since the campaign of 1854 in thla infected district' came off yesterdav.- The large number in atendauce, the interest and attention manifested, gave sure evidence that the democracy of this once favored dis trlct intend to redeem it. At an early hour in the morning, the solid masses came pouring into town by every mode of conveyance, and on loot, unllI the town was literally jammed.
 The meeting was organized by the appoint ment of the Hon. Isaac Reckhow as chairman, With thlrty-one vice presidents and number of secretaries Large delegations from all the districts in the county were n attendance in organized bands, and an imposing procession from Binghamton, N Y., came with fine brass band, as an escort to the Hon. Daniel S. Dick inson.
 Upon the appearance of this distinguished and faithful national democrat upon the ground he was hailed with cheer after cheer, and pro- ceeded In speech of an hour and half to deliver one of the soundest, and truly couser- vatlve speeches ever listened to in this State Its effect was most happy and revived the old and true democratic feeling. Many democrats who had been led astray by the false and de- luslve doctrines of Wilmot, once a democrat, announced their intention to return to their hrst love and vote for Buchanan and Breckin- ridge

This convulsion caused less foam and turmoil tban roiaht bava been supposed, but raised wave of such tre- mendous magnitude, that when it reached our ship she seemed about to be overwhelmed by a rolling mountain of water higher than our mast heads. The good ship rose upon its crest, and before again sinking into the hollow, we saw the man upon the iceberg--still in the same posture-glide swiftly down the slippery incline, shoot over the edge of the precipice, and plunge into the raging surf
 A sensation of inexpressble relief was expe. rlenced by all; it had seemed so dreadful to sail away and leave him there, unbured and alone; now, at any rate we had seen the last of him.

settlement of the Central American
 Question.

London, Aug. l5, 1S56.-I am happy to in- form you of the defnitive settlement of tho Central American question, and hasten to pre-. sent you the general terms of the adjustment.
 It should be observed that, so far as Hondu. ras is concerned, the matter has been arranged between Lord Clarendon and ST. Don Victor Herran, Plenipotentiary of Honduras, in Lon- don. The treaties drawn up by these negotia- tions, have already been signed, and consist
 1st. Of general treaty of amity and con- merce.
 I'd. Of a convention for the adjustment of all claims of British sub bjects on the government of Honduras, and for the extinction of any Indian (MoSquito) titles within the territories recog- nized 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 circumstances of their occupation and colonization by Great Britain having been regarded in the United States fragrant violation of the Clayton and Bulwer convention, first claims attention, and will excite much interest. The convention re- stores these islands to the sovereignty of Hon. duras only stipulatng, on behalf of the people who have established themselves there under the British occupancy, the perpetual enjoyment of certain rights and privileges. The ground upon which the restoration is made is the i'm portance ot preserving neutral the route of the proposed inter oceanic railway through Hondu- raS.
 The stipulations concerning religious freedom and trial by jury are forced on Honduras, and furnish the germs from which these eminentlv Anglo-SaXon ideal or institutions must soon spread to the main land-the sooner the better.
 The second convention provides for d board of three arbtratorS-o to be named by the English government, the second by that of Hon. duras, and the third to be chosen by the two thus named. He must not be British subject citizen of Central America, nor of the United States. This commission is to hear and decide on all claims as between subjects and the re- public of Honduras, and its decision is to be final and without appeal
 The limits of Honduras are recognized as ex- tending to Cape Gracios a Dos, and the Rio Wanks or Legoria on the south; but if the con- mission of arbitration find that there are any Mosquito Indians in the territory above that river, they are to decide upon the time when such Indians shall withdraw from it, and the amount of annuity in the meantime to be paid them ill consideration of such withdrawal
 The treaty of amity, commerce and naviga- ton, contains the usual stpulations of such treaties, with all additional article guaranteeing the neutrality and protecting the independence of the proposed great interoseanic railway through Honduras.
