ENGLAND FURNISHING ARMS TO COSTA
RIcA.-A correspondence between the For
eign Office at London and Mr.. Walerstein,
the Consul General of Costa Rica, has been
intercepted in Nicaragua and published
The following letter is the most important:
"FoREIGN OFFICE, February 8, 1856.
81 am directed by the Earl of Clarendon
to acquaint you that, having referred to the
War Department your letter of the 18th ult.,
requesting that small supply of arms may
be furnished to the government of Costa
Rica, his lordship has been informed by that
department., in reply, that 1000 smooth bore
muskets (nittOns,) which are not SO highly
finished as the line-pattern muskets of 1912,
can be supplied at FL 3s. each; or if it shod
be preferred, 1900 of the line pattern mus
kets of 1852, can be furnished at 56s. Sd.
each.
GAS soon as Lord Clarendon is informed
by you of the species of arms which you de-
eide upon, he will communicate further with
the War Department. and request that the
arms may be placed at your disposal. | have
the honor to be, sir, your most obedient and
humble servant, "E. HAMMOND.
"To E. Wallerstein, ESQ.,, &C."
From private letter from Mr.. Wallerstein
to the President of the Republic of Costa
RIGA, we extract the following:
"When was telling Lord Clarendon that
Costa Rica already had an army of 500 men
on the frontier of Nicaragua, he was much
pleased, and said that was right step, and
l am persuaded that my having made that
insinuation is one of the reasons for giving us
the muskets. The questions pending be-
tween this country and the United States
are very complicated; but there will be no
war, for this reason, that the gentlemen in
the great republic observe that, although the
British nation do not boast or say much on
the subject, they are determined to punish
the Yankees very severely for the least insult
to the national honor
To the eyes Of the whole world--of this
country in particular--a war between the
two nations would be one Of the worst evils;

The LATE RIoT AT ERIE.--The passage
of favorable bill to the Lake Shore Road
has irritated some of the Erie folks, and the
war burst out on Friday evening-having
been brought to fury by, an alteration and
fight between young Walker and Cochran,
in THE Constitution printing Office. The
Cleyeland Plaindealer says the bells were
rung, and crowd of rail-rippers gathered in;
the sign of the office was torn down, and a
grand bonfire made in the street of every
thing in the building Of a combustible ma
ture. A large quantity of printing paper,
all of the law library of Mr.. johnson, railroad
attorney and editor of the paper, with all his
papers and railroad accounts, were also des-
troyed. The mob then got out the cannon,
and being excited by the thunder, went to
work and Quilted the building, entirely de-
molishing it. The loss of Mr.. johnson must
amount to several thousand dollars. They
afterward proceeded to the house of Mr..
Tracy, another prominent railroad man, and
fired several bullets in at the windows, and
threw brckbats and other missiles at other
houses. The affair is one of the most dis
graceful that ever blackened the fame of any
city. From Tracy's they went to Walkers;
but his windows being fortified by close win
dow-shutters, they were unable to effect any
thing. Had they succeeded i'll getting in,
they would have been met with murderous
weapons, as young Walkers friends had as
sembled there in considerable numbers
What the upshot of the matter will be, Ie-
mains to tie seen.

that party that has all the honesty and all
the decency; that party whose leader (Wm.
H. Seward) is possessed of such extremely
acute moral perceptions, that being Disguised
with the constitution of the United States
and the laws of his country, he appeals from
them to the higher law, and this same con-
scentious VIM. H. Seward is one of Col.
Lanes principal supporters; that party
whose principles are so imbued with chris

eminent divines, one of whom has among
the other great discoveries of the age, made
the remarkable one, that there is more OF
moral form in one of Sharpe's rifles than there
is in hundred Bibles. y o.. it is great
party, this abolition party, and it is to hold a
sectional convention in Philadelphia next
month to nominate sectional candidate fol
the Presidency, who is to carry out the sec
tional views Of the party. But if Horace
can get one more correspondent in Kansas
and John p. Hale continues his billingsgate
in the Senate, and Col. Lane FORCES another
memorial, and Henry Ward Beecher breaches
one or two more political sermons, the nomi,
nee Of that convention will before long cry
