Letter from FilIibusrer walker.

WASHINGTON, Nov The following is a
letter addressed by Gen. Walker to the Secretary
of State, dated Sept. %;
Sir-It is currently reported that the ministers
OF Costa Rica and Guatamala have asked for the
active interpositon of the United States, for
preventing me and any of my companions from
returning to Nicaragua This request, it is fur.
Their said is based uponI the assumption that I
have violated or intend to violate the neutrality
laws OF the United States. The want of all of
fetal intercourse between the Government of the
United States and that of Nicaragua, hope, will
be sufficient excuse for my addressing you on
the faith of public report, but the rumor comes
In such a form that l am satisfied the ministers
of Guatemala and Costa RIGA have attempted to
dishonor the Republic of Nicaragua in the eyes
of the United States, and l am further convinced
OF this fact 0y decree of President Mora, ted
at San Jose on the 9TH Of August last, and order
ed to be communicated to the diplomatic corps
generally. The ministers Of Costa Rica and
Guatemala attempt to humiliate Nicaragua by
presenting themselves to the United States as
her protectors and guardians. In behalf of the
Republic of which claim 10 be the lawful cxecu-
tive, protest most earnestly against this as
sumption on the part of Costa Rica and Guata-
mala, and ask that the U. S. Government will
not permit itself to be influenced by the part of
these two Central American powers. On the con.
trary, 1t is to be hoped that the United States
will by its conduct assert and Yindicate the indie
pendence of its sister Republic, the S0vereiQn

qua have not consented to the military authority
at present exercised over them by the agents Of
Costa Rica and Guatemala, and that they there.

VS. L desire to relieve Nicaragua from any re-
sponsibility for such otficous intermeddling So
far as any violation on my part is concerned

Having been received in the United States, when
free for time to leave Nicaragua, have in all
respects been obedient to its laws, and permit me
to assure you that shall not far forget my duty
as an officer of Nicaragua as to violate the laws
OF the United States while enjoying the rights of
hospitality within its limits.

The FRAUD IN KANzAs.-The way the
tombstone county fraud was detected was this.
The astonishing large vote from that SHINY
inhabited district itself was enough to show
that something was wrong, and in conse.
quence party of Free State men rode over
there to enquire about it. They could not
find the judges, even by diligent INQUIRY, and
of course could find no trace of 1000 voters in
a country with not quarter so many inbabi-
tants. Coming back, they reported the facts
to Gov. Walker, who had been previously in
clined to grant the certificate, and leave the
legislature to investigate the fraud. But he
was persuaded before doing so to investigate
for himself. He aud Secretary Stanton &C.
cordingly took carriage, went over, and by
personal examination of the locality and its
people convinced themselves of the fraudulent
character of the returns. After coming back,
Secretary Stanton, at one of the hotels unroll-
ed the huge list, and displayed it as curiosi-
ty. 1t was As feet long, and reached diago-
nally scIoss from one corner to the other of

found the whole list had actually been copied

to alter the order, but copied them in alpha

The FAILURES IN NEW YoRK.-The DAYS
of heavy payments are about over with the
jobbers, and we can now take the retrospective
view, and sum up the disasters of the last
two months, believing, as we do, that butfew
of the survivors will now need an accommo.
dation The number Of private extensions
has been SO great that an impression has gone
abroad that the jobbing trade of the city is
generally bankrupt. Now, we have taken
the trouble to collect the facts in the case,
from the memoranda of laIge importing
house. Ninety good houses in dry goods and
cloths are reckoned among the number of
those who have asked no renewals or any ac-
commodation of the kind whatever. This is
the number of which we can speak from GER
tain knowledge; probably ten more names
might be added to the list. This number, one
hundred, would be about so per cent of the
whole number of good houses in the trade.
The cloth houses have stood very we'll through
the trouble. The ready made clothing dealers
have suffered very heavily.
The number of domestic dry goods COM
mission houses in operation here at the Begin
ming of the fall season. was about thirty. This
estimate does not include "Boston houses"
so called, to the number of three or four ;
nor few small concerns which did a special
or an irregular business. Of this thirty there
are seventeen who are not known to have had
any accommodation from their creditors, eth
er publicly or by private arrangement. The
majority of the remainder have suspended
with abundant assets, or obtained public or
private extension.
The importers, as a class, will be obliged
to ask renewals on the other side.-N. Y.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 1.-THE Navy Department
received today dispatches from Capt Sands ofithe
Susquehanna, dated Spezzia, Oct. IA, which says
that on passing the Straits of Gibraltar he shaped
his course along that part of the coast of Barbary
known as the Riff Coast, for the purpose Of show
ing his colors, and letting the inhabitants. who
are understood to be practically disposed, know
that any outrages or depredations upon vessels
carving similar flag, will BE- speedily followed
by punishment.

DROWNED IN A SINGULAR MANNRR.-At
st. John, N. B., on Friday night, it being
very dark, man named Archibald Brown,
walked off one of the wharves when the tide
was out. He CROPPED his way along in the
mud, but instead of taking a course that
would extricate himself from his unpleasant
predicament, he wandered up among the
piles beneath the wharf, where, of course,
he became more bewildered than ever. The
rising tide made him conscious of his danger,
and by shouts and noise he was enabled to at.
tract the notice Of persons passing in the vi
cinity, but too late tor succor. As the tide
rose, he climbed to the top of the piles, and
through small aperture in the wharf sufii-
cient TO admit one of his arms, he was enabled
to inform them of his situation. His position
and feelings can be imagined when the water
was every moment rising around him, and he
could not be extricEted. He shook hands
with his friends, passed through the hole all
the money and valuabes he had about his
person, and just as the water was closing over
him, after giving some directions concerning
his family, he bid his friends good bye, aud
the gurgling water beneath announced that
all was over. His body was recovered when
the tide receded. Mr.. Brown was highly re-
saected. He leaves family and many friends.

MISS QUINN.-Of the wonderful little prodigy,
Miss Quinn, who will appear in several charac-
tiers at the Worcester Theatre, the present sea
son, opening this evening" the Hobarttown New
South Wales) Courier Of Aug. II, 1856, has the
following brief biographical ske4ch Since that
date, the career Of Miss Quinn in New South
Wales, Australia, London, &c, has been one of
unexampled success and splendor:
a. Anna Maria Quinn was born on the 18th Of
March, l846, upon the steamboat Duchess, on
the Mississippi near Memphis, while her pa
rents were on the way from their native place,
Robertsiown, Ireland, TO st. Louis, where Mr.
Quinn was some time treasurer, and Mrs. Quinn
costurner, at Mr.. J. M. Fields Varieties Theatre
Their daughter first made her debut in small
child's part at that theatre, and in the following
April her parents emigrated to California across
the plains, where on the way Miss Quinn and her
mother suffered severely from the mountain fe-
yer. The men who were employed To drive their
stock, with one exception, deserted them, and IN
consequence, both mother and child had to assist
all IN their power in driving cattle 1900 miles,
on foot, averaging IL miles day After long
and wearsome journey, they arrived in the valley
Of the Sacramento in the latter part Of Septem-
Der. In few.weeks Mr.. Quinn and his family
took passage TO San Francisco in the steamer
Senator, where his little daughter earned consid-
cradle applause by reciting the part Of Young
Norval. Mrs Quinn, upon her ARRIVAL at San
francisco, was engaged at Mr., G. II. Thorne's es.
tablishment (the American rheatre), as costum.
er, and on the production Of Uncle Toms Cabin
in June, 1854, little Anna impersonated Eva in
such marvellous manner that the soubriquet at
tached 10 her in California. She also performed
