Our Government has disclosed, through the
newspaper correspondence of the Northern press,
the following important item of information I'm
der date of Sunday (the 3D. q IoN writes:
Intelligence was received here yesterday of the
prompt rejection by the English Government of the Dali
las and Clarendon treaty in the form in which
dfed By the Senate I have to know that this
intelligence took the Administration by surprise. They
had been led to suppose that the treaty ratified here
would be acceptable the British Government particu

operation of the United Stses in other matters

We are no less surprised than, as it appears, the
administration was, to learn the rejection of the
Treaty" having supposed that the Treaty had been
agreed to by the British Government before it was
sent from London, where Mr. DALLAS negotiated it.
1t may be that it is only the Amendments adopted
by the Senate of the United States which the Bri-
tizh Cabinet has rejected. The difference is not
material however, if with the ''rejectton of the
Amendments the Treaty itself falls to DE ground.
/ Of the merits Of the Amendments, Ind whether
they were of sufficient consequence t, be made by
THE Senate sine qua mon TO the ado ption of the
Treaty, we are unable now to expres5 an opinion,
inasmuch as no authorized or authenticated copy
of either the Treaty the Amendments thereto has
been made public.
If in this state of ignorance of the facts we were
permitted to adopt opinion on trust it would be
against the necessity of the amendments there be-
ing no doubt, we believe, that the late Administers
tion, which must be presumed to have under
stood the subject well, considered them unnecessa-
ry, if not actually inexpedient and improper.
Another Washington letter, also of Sunday s
date, has the following explanatory statement:
The DallasClarendon Treaty does not go into effect
and for this the Treaty between England and
Honduras relative to the Island of Ruatan has
been ratified by Honduras Until this is done some Of

MASSACHUSETTS,.

Tie several amendments to the Constitution of the
State of Massachusetts, which were voted upon by the
people on Friday last were all approved by large
majorities The opposition to the reading and
writing" apendment brought out very fair vote,
say onethid of the usual voteof the State elections,
and that amendment received about two-thirds of
all cast While those introducing the district system
in the Legislature have been successful by at least
four-ffth vote.
The first amendment thus adopted provides that no per-
shall hap the right to vote, be eligible to Office
who shall MT be able to read the Constitution in the
English language and to write his name these provi
sons to ppy to any person prevented by physical
debility FROM complying with them to any person
who has noFth right to vote, to any person who
shall be sixtyears of age upwards at the time the
amendment slal take effect.
The second amendment limits the number of members
of the House Representatives to two hundred and forty
who shall be eected by districts formed that no town
ward of dty shall be divided therefor nor shall any
district be ne which shall be entitled to elect more
than three representatives.
The third anendment provides for the choice of the
forty Senatorsn single districts instead Of now by
counties.
