From Washington.

WASHINGTON, April l6.
Mexican matters were under consideration yes
terday, and again it lie said to-day Instructions are
no doubt to be sent to Mr.. For yth Immediately for
the negotiation of new treaty, reserving 10 the
United States the right of way over the Isthmus OF
Tehuantep C, if not cession Of il. The Mexican
treasury Is bankrupt, and Commonfort's governme t
can hardly be sustained from week to week, al
though the danger of invasion by Spain is no longer
very imminent. If he cannot make such a treaty
as We desire for such a sum of money as Govern
meut might offer, must await the action Of the
constitutional government if that should be estab-
lished in September next-Cor. Baltimore San.

As Shutter, the celebrated comedian, was once trav
cling to the north of England the coach stopped
by a highwayman on Finchley Common. His only
companion in the journey was an old gentleman, who
to save his money, pretended to be asleep. But
Shutter resolved to be even with him. Accordingly,
when the highwayman presented his pistol and de-
manded Shutter to deliver his money or he was a
dead man, Money!" returned he, with an idotie
shrug, and countenance inexpressiby vacant, Oh,
lnd sir they trust me with any, for uncle here
always pays for me, turnpikes and ALL your honor -
Upon which the highwayman gave him few hearty
curses for his stupidity, aroused the old gentleman
and robbed him of every shilling, whilst Shutter
heartily enjoyed the joke.
