We have to day important adyices from Wash
ington ard from Costa Rica pertinent to Central
American affairs
The British government has appointed new
Commissioner to proceed to Central America for
the purpose Of endeavoring to arrange the ques-
lions between England and these republics, ia the
person Of Sir William Gore Ouseley. who is
connected by marriage with this country-his
wife, we believe, being q sis,er of MIS- Judge

We learn that in all the Central American
questions the British government is disposed to
cede to the Cabinet at Washington the chief
burthen OF arranging the affairs of the petty and
quarTelecme governments now in existence on
the Is'hmus Of America, and will take no
important step without consultation. Ia
the meantime, our own government is de.
tciminsd TO proceed with due caution in the
matter. 1t will not recognise the irregular dual
government now in existence in Nicaragua, and
viii wait the result Of the Presidential election,
which recently took place there. If President
should be elected, ard permitted to organise his
government he win be recognized by ours.
AS for the reports that are being continually
published of the recognition Of Senior Yrissarri,
the arrangement Of the transit route question,
and of the support of this or that company by
the government, they are all bosh being got up
by private parties for interested purposes When.
ever government in Nicaragua shall be recog-
nized, our IN will take care that the rights of
all American citizens shall be placed on a cafe
and secure footing; but it viii have nothing to
do With the transit route or the companies claim
ing it, further than to see that its peaceablc en-
joyment is secured to the whole world. The dis
putes Of the companies with the local govern
ments and between themselves will have to be
settled by the proper respective tribunals. The
fact is, that the representatives Of Central
America now in Washington are in con-
fct with each other. While Senior YRS
sarri, backed by Joe White and the Vanderbilt
interest is striving for the recognition Of the pre-
sent, and counting upon that Of the probably
elected government of Nicaragua, Senior Molina
is opposed to erch step on the part of our
government, as it would amount to recognition
Of that republic with all her territories and boun.
daries as existing before the war. Such step
would deprive Costa RIGA Of the territorial ad.

Is in complete state Of uncertainty
what to do The Information it had
hoped to receive from Mr. Carey Jones has not
been forthcoming, and it is not unlikely il may
have to serd an agent to look after him. II is
probable that new Commissioner will have TO
b. cent down there by our government, to find
on. what is the state OF things; and IL So it is to
be hoped that when it does, 1t will send some
one who can speak the language of the people
he goes amongst, 70 that be can hold personal
intercourse with them, ard at least understand
the views Of their leading men, 60 far as they
may be willing to express them privately. This
sending of virtually deaf and dumb diplomatic
agents to the Spanish American republics has
been the cause Of more than half of our troubles
with them. Meanwhile, we await the arrival Of
Sir William Gore Ouscley at Washington for the
develepement Of a plan for the settlement of
thcse Central American questions
PUBLICATION OF FAuTREs.-The Iadependeat of
yesterday announces that il has ceased for the
present to publish lite usual weekly list Of fail
ues and assigns as reason for the step that
such publications at time like the present tend
to sggravate the panic which still retains its
hold on the public mind.
Whatever propricty there may be in the course
the Iad,pcndH is pursuing, the reason assigned
is, We venture to say, not the true one The real
reason why il is inexpcdient not TO publish lists
of New York failures at present is that the mo-
