have news from Europe three days later than
that brought by the Kangaroo. The arrange

satisfactorily. The Treaty, which had not been

equal commercial privileges with the most ia

plan Sea, as her treaties with Russia forbid it,.

The Fam held last week, in this town. by
the Ladies connected with tho Presbyterian
Church. was well patrOnizcd, and the sum thus
realized, we understand, amounted to near four
hundred dollars. The collection of articles for
sale, mostly prepared by the ladies themselves.
for elegance and beauty, exceeded anything OF
the kind we had ever seen. Many rich and
valuable presents were made to different indi'
viduals by the evsitors--particularly the minis

THE DALLAS CLARENDoY TREArY.- Despach.
es from Washington state that his Treaty was
ratified by the Senate, in executive session, on
Thursday. II has been slightly amended; but
the amendments, it is presumed, are of such a
character as not to render it unacceptable to
Great Britain.
The London journals, we see, have been pre-
pairing the public mind there for the rejection
of this Treaty. The spirit in which the sub
jeci treated by the Times, discloses a strong
feeling of disappointment, or, it may be. OF
wounded pride,-Che Treaty, in fact, having
been initiated by Great Britain, (which finds
vent in some characteristic reflections upon the
"slaveholding interest in the Senate" to whom
the Treaty is observation-disclosures it pro-
vides for the exclusion of slavery in the Bay
Islands, and recognizes the independence of the
Musquito Indians,-under a British PrOtecto-
rate. Coupled with these insinuations,-are
the usual reflections uron the chronic dispo
sition of American politicians, to keep diplo-
matte controversies open abroad simply for the
sake of political capital at home.

to the effect that Hon. Isaac +. Morse, who was
appointed Commissioner on the part Ofthe Uni

growing out of the dreadful riots at Panama,

satisfactory arrangement can be effected un-
less the most decided measures are despatched

RUNAwAy SLAvEs.-We learn from The Dcla- /
ware Reporter that eight runaway slaves were
decoyed into Dover on Monday night, by man |
who was so anxious to secure the whole se-
ward offered for their arrest, some S25O0, that
he employed no one to assist him in the cap
ture. They REACHED the town about four o'clock,
on Thursday morning, when they called ut the
Jail, and while the Sheriff was dressing they
went up stairs, and passed into room thai was
open, but finding no fire they came out in the
entry. The Sheriff supposing that he would
have nothing to do but to lock the door, was
disappointed on discovering that they were in
the entry, and returned to his room for revol-
yer. The negroes being anxious to get to the
fire fol owed him and were all in his room be-
fore he could get his weapon. BY this time
the suspicious of one of the negroes were arpus
ed, and with the exclamation, Z" He don't like

The EPIDEMIC AT WARRINGTON; or, the mys-
terious sickness which attacked everybody who
put up at Wizards hotel, just previous to the
inauguration, and the cause of which has been
traced to the water taken from the clsiern OF
the housc, into which a nHmbcr of rats. who
had partaken of arsenic had plunged, is of
more serious character than is generally sup.
posed. Mr.. I.enoX, of Ohio, died last week
from its effect, and we see by the New York
pa pers that The wife of Mr.. Jay l.. Adams. who
stopped at the hotel Oh his way home from Sa-
vannah, has also died tro+a the sickness con-
traCted there. \ postmOrfeIn examination OF
Mrs. Adams revealed the fact :" that the st0m
ach had been partially eaten away; the bow
els manifested symptoms of violent inflammation
The lungs were cOngcsted, and the kidneys Sc
verely Affected" These appearances indicate
the presence and action of arsenic in the stom
ach. Mr. o. b. MatteSon, member of Con-
grcss, is suffering severely. Many other per
sons in New York, Newark and in Phlladel-
phia, besides the President himself are much
enteebled by the attacks of dIarrhGa, having
their origin, as is supposed IN the poisoned wa
ter which they drank. The New York Post
calls for On investigation by the Coroner, that
the public may ascertain the precise extent and
ature Of the culpablly, IT any, on the part o
the pr0prietors OF the hotel
Mr.. Buchanan made narrow escape will
his life, and though his sickness has been kept
very quiet, aud represented as OF little account
there can be little doubt that he has suffered
very severely. In fact, nearly every body who
was at the hotel Jared as badly. MIR. Appleton
the edstor Of the uni0n, has scarcely yet re-
covered.

The most famous Northern pleasure resorts are
said to be thin and melancholy this season. 1t
has become fashionable for Northern pleasure
seekers to 60 to Europe, and for Southerners to
visit their Springs. Whilst those of tho
North have fallen off this Summer, those Of the
South have increased, and are likely to continue
increasing. The White Sulphur, under Its new
auspices, has been Allied to OVERLOOKING, and the
next season, with its new Improvements completed,
will be the Saratoga Of the South in everything
but snobbery and pretension.
We see that some Of the Northern watering
places are recommended on the ground of their
conservative character. This is right and proper
All springs should be conservative Of health and
strength, and maintain the constitution in its in
tegrity. Happily, We can find such without going
beyond the limits Of the State. Virginia has al
ways been a conservative commonwealth in her
politics. and hereafter will be conservative of her
cash. Tho time has come when she realizes the
value OF tho wise Northern maxim to buy nothing
abroad that you can obtain at home.
We would not encourage a sectional spirit. least
Of all, in amusements aud recreation. But we
would have the South true in all things to itself
II cannot then be "false to other men" 1t is sd-
vantageous for the people Of the two sections to
meet often, and improve their acquaintance with
each other; but the visits should not be restricted
10 one side. The South has been going to North
ern springs ever since they were established. 1t
is time that Northerners should come here Let
them come. We are sure they will have a cordial
welcome, and, amidst the grand mountains, health
full breezcs, and social amenities of Virginia life
will give up their ignorant preudces, and see
that the South is not as black it is painted 1t
would be much better for them, in national point
If view, to visit the South than Europe.
