yenient and often unhealthy homes. The

held upon the estate of Mrs. Thos. Dwight,
at Nahant, and the sum of $l,42s was real

THE New SPEAKER OF THE BRIrisH HoUsE
OF CoMMoNs.-The London correspondent
Of the Boston Post says:
The impression prevails almost universally
that the new Speaker of the House of Com
mons is great failure. His blunders are
laughably numerous and unmistakabIe -
He seems to know no,hns-to have NJ
Judgment and no determination. When q
question is put to him he either answers il
wrongfnily,. or turns to one of the clerks at
the table, who has to dictate to him the pro-
per course, and then it is even betting that
he promulgates his decision unirtel!igibIy
lie allows personalities, confusion, disorder,
and seems quite unable to exercise any con-
troll whatever over the house. You doubt
less know that he was chosen for this Office
because he is brotlier-in-law of the Duke
of Portland, whose vote Lord Palserston
now controls in the Lords, as well as seat
for Nottinghamshire, and other political in
tiuence elsewhere in his colossal property.

COSTA RIGA. - Il Neac FlJusterinQ
Scheme IN NicaroGua-The correspondent
of the Philadelphia Press, in late letter
from Washington, says:
1havc seen letter from Central Nicaragua.
in which it is stated that Capt Casey, who
deserted Walker and joined the Costa Rican
forces, brought with him and had circulated
~ Rlyas and Guanaccsta a pronunciamento

the entire transit route and district. 1t is ad-
ded that all duties on imports and exports
are to be removed. The question arises, then
in what manner is revenue to be raised for
the new commonwealth Either by sales
of lands, or by tolls to be collected on a ship
canal yet to be constructed; but of this part
of the design | am not informed.
In the Costa Rican army there are a great
many officers formerly from the United
States, and since Walkers expulsion there
has been engendered, whether by them or
others, propensity to tilibuser on their
neighbors. The effort of Canas is an exam
pie. The result is not at all problematical
The intelligence and energy of character Of
these foreigners IN that service must win
them power and control of the State. If
