With view to the convenience OF the pur-
ohasers of trust lands in Kansas at the approach
ing June and July sales, the treasury department
has made an arrangement, by which, parties in
Atlantic shore, may deposit money here, in sums
OF any amount, with the treasurer, whose checks
or transfer drafts nay be transmitted to Kansas,
and received by the agent as cash. The Secre-
tary of the treasury has directed to the assistant
treasurer at St Louis fifty transfer drafts for one
thousand dollars each, which, with those of
larger sums now on hand, will be sufficient to
meet all possible demands

GREAT BRITAIN AND HoNDURAs.-The
Washington correspondent of the Neo York
Herald OF the 18th inst, writes that the 'nego-
tiations which for some time past have been
pending between the government of Great
Britain in referencelto the Bay Islands, were
concluded earlysin March, and the treaty rat
flied by Honduras on the 9th of that month.
1t IS believed here, among the Spanish and
South American legations, that this action of
the two governments effectually abrogates the
Clayton Bulwer treaty, and, at the same time,
opens way for final arrangements of disputes
between the cabinets Of the United States and
Great Britain

THE GREAT RAILROAD OPENING.-We have
already briefly stated that the Ohio and Mis-
sissippi railroad, from Cincinnati to st. Louis,
would be formally opened early next month.
This road, with its connection eastward, COM
pletes an almost direct line from the seaboard
to the Mississippi river. The celebration of
this great event in the railroad history of our
country, is to take place at Cincinnati and St.
Louis, on the Sd and 4th of June, and the
arrangements for it are projected on a mag
nihcent scale, as will be seen from the follow
ing article on the subject, from the Baltimore
american
''lhe list of invited guests will include
number of the most eminent gentleman of
the country, embracing the President of the
United States and members of the Cabinet
Lord Napier and other distinguished members
OF the diplomatic corps, governors Of different
states, the municipal corporations Of various
cities, prominent editors and distinguished
literary men from all parts of the country,
and many Of the most eminent railroad men
of the Union.
The Ohio and Mississippi railroad company,
which has originated the celebration, has
secured the cooperation of the leading lines
of the country, and the tickets provided for
the guests will be endorsed by more than
thirty railroad companies, over whose roads
the excursions wlll De permitted to pass either
in going to or returning from st. Louis.
These tickets are good from the 9th of May
to the 18th of June.
The guests will assemble at Cincinnati, on
the evening of that day. Early on the morn
ing of the 9th, the excursion trains will start
over the Ohio and Mississippi road for st.
Louis, running through by daylight. 1t is
expected that two thousand guests will take
part in this excursion. Friday, the 9th of
June, will be devoted at St. Louis, for which
the citizens of that emporium of the West,
are making the most generous arrangements
This will close the formal part Of the celebra-
ton, but the succeeding day will no doubt
be occupied in inspecting the railroad connec-
tons of st. Louis with the farther West, aud
in visiting different parts in and about the
city. The visitors will then be at liberty TO
extend their trip over the connecting roads
that have endorsed the tickets OF invitation.
The new lines Of railroad, whose opening
these ceremonies will mark, embraces seven
hundred miles Of railroad, binding by a new
link, the Atlantic and Mississippi, and bring.

Heavy rain storms and freshets have
occurred at various points South. The low
lands on the Roanoke river, in North Caro-
lima, are buried under water to the depth of
from three to twenty feet. Crops, fences, and
everything are swept away by the current.
The rise in the river is thirty or forty feet
above the ordinary tides Several Of the
South Carolina and Alabama rivers are also
swollen by freshels.
The late freshet was veIy severe upon
James river, in Virginia. The low country
was submerged, wharves were flooded, large
quantities of wood were swept off, and the
crops were thought to be much injured. The
bridge on the New Jersey Central railroad at
Bloomsbury, has been swept away, and it will
take two weeks to replace it.

NOBLE DARING.-We learn that our info1ma-

saved by the Fire Department from the fire
which burnt his barn, on Sunday last. is incor-
rect. It was saved by the extraordinary and dar !.

of she'd between the burning building and the
house, and threw water, till he was driven away

For short time no one could be induced to take

the post OF labor and of danger, which he was
able to maintain only by keeping himself drench-

quarters of an hour till the engine company ar
rived, when his further services were dispensed

The JUNCTION DEPoT.-We mentioned, sew
eral days since, says the Bay State, that petit
ton was in circulation for new depot at the
junction of the Western, Providence, Norwich,
and Nashua railroads. The names appended to
the petition, have reached nearly fifteen hundred,
nearly all of whom, we are told, are travellers on
the different roads which meet there. When the
present depot built by the corporations of the
Western, Providence, and Norwich railroads, no
doubt it was deemed sufficiently commodious to
accommodate the travelling community. But it
falls far short of that fat the present time.
Not less than twenty passenger trains stop
at this depot each day, and more passengers stop
there, and longer, at each time, than at any other
depot in the city, and for these reasons large
and commodious general depot should be erected,
in place of the present contracted and i'll adapted
shed like building now there. We trust the at
tention of the several railroad corporations will be
called to the matter, and that they will see the
necessity of acceding to the general wish of the
travelling community, by combining to build at
the Junction depot suitable for that central sit
uat6n.
