The Times publishes this morning draft
of treaty between Great Britain and Mic
aragua, drawn up by Sir VIM. Gore Ousley,
whose long residence in Washington has
excited so much observation. 1t is under
stood that both the British and Nicaraguan
governments approve of this treaty, and Sir
VIM. Ousley will shortly leave for Central
America in order to secure its ratification.
Tie convention stipulates, among other
things, that England, as far as she herself is
concerned, shall guarantee the neutrality OF
the 1sthmus, and shall endeavor to induce
other nations to do the same. 1t is also
agreed that if Nicaragua fails to protect
passengers crossing the Isthmus, that the
British may employ forces for that purpose.
In other respects the treaty is a strict and
most comprehensive commercial convention,
comforting reciprocal privileges on each of
the converting powers.

Gov. Denver, writing to the Secretary Of
the Interior, Sept. 18th, says that the late
news from Pixies Peak leaves no room to
doubt the CORRECTNESS of the reported dis
coveries of gold in that vicinity. The ex-
plorers in that vicinity have found gold on
the Arkansas, on the head of the Kansas
and on the South Fork of the Platte river,
embracing an extent of country more than
800 miles. The richest mines yet found are
on Cherry creek, tributary of the South
Platte, directly north of Pixies Peak
r. Gov. Denver had not yet heard of quartz
veins; but the best information would, seem
to indicate great similarity between these
mines and the first discoveries in California.
In view Of the present condition of affairs
in that region and to prevent further diff
culties, Gov. Denver advises the lands there
to be withdrawn from presumption; or if
they are open to settlement, leaving them
as in the mining districts of California, free
for all who may see fit to engage in work
ing the mines.
The country, he, believed, is claimed by
the Utahs, Cheyennes, Kiawas and Arapa-
hoes and he does not know that their title
to it he's ever been extinguished. If it has
not, there will be no trouble in withdraw
ing the lands from the operation of the pre-
emptlon laws; but if it has, then they
ought to be withdrawn at any hour, and tic
facts and reasons reported to Congress next
winter. 1t would, he adds, also be advis-
able to send out some competent person to
examine the mines and report the facts in
connection with them.
The Acting Commissioner of the General
Land Office to-day submitted to the Presi-
dent, eleven patents of lands, requiring
under the grants of September, ls30-one
in Milan District NO., six in Helena Dis
trict, Arkansas, and four in Florida con-
tanning, in the aggregate, about 1000
acres of swamp lands in these State.
Judge Bowlin returned to Washington
this morning, to await his final instructions,

The envoy of the Rail Road from Hud-
son to Superior and Bayfield,, Wisconsin, a

EGy@ Our readers will recollect several re-
ferences made by US, four or FIVE months ago,
to the fate of DR.. J. Pocock Holmes, who
died in this city last Spring, under very pain
full circumstances. Among the many notices
which the circumstances of his death elicit
ed, was one from a lady in Illinois who in
timated that the separation from his wife
was attended by a criminal attempt upon
her life, and an abstraction of her property,
which left in the mind of the reader a dark
& cloud upon his memory, and over-shaddow-
ed all the virtues and honors of his previous
brilliant career. We have before US letter
to Dr. Hallock from his widow, the lady
whom it is alleged he had so criminally
wronged. She expresses the deepest sadness
at the account of his unhappy fate, and the
highest respect for his memory. She is sin
cerely grateful to those benevolent men who
attended and cared for him in his last ex-
tremity and prepared his obsequies. She de-
sires that all the mementoes that he left may
be preserved for her, and if it be necessary,
she will repurchase them from those who may
possess them. She says: - l understand that
those who have been benefited by his death,
refused to spare small portion of his funds
to erect monumental stone to his memory
