ESCAPE OF THE NICARAGUAN FILrBUsTERs-
A CRISIS IN FOREIGN AFFAIRS. The recent
escape of the flibusters from Mobile, excites
the most intense interest in official quarters as
it is considered that if they shall be arrested by
the British and other foreign forces, the volun-
teer feeling of this country would be aroused to
the highest degree of excitement, and immense
reinforcements rush to their rescue.
Hence crisis in the foreign relations of our
Government would be precipitated and most
angry and threatening state Of things probably
result between our Government and those of
Great Britain, France, and Spain.
The question would arise whether the Euro
pean Governments should be allowed to inter-
fere for the regulation of affairs upon the Amer
lean continent by the prevention of which our
Government would be committed.
The Union, referring to the subject, says :
1t is to be hoped that our naval vessels may
yet succeed in intercepting the fugitive schooner
Susan, bringing her back to our ports, and
preserving this filibuster question still longer
as purely domestic one in our policy. Upon
the vigilance of our officers in the waters of the
Gulf may depend in o great measure the peace
Of the world"

THE GIRL IN BOYS CLOTHES. - Judge Pru-
den, of Cincinnati last Friday, disposed of the
case of the young girl, Jane Anderson, who was
arrested for wearing boys clothes, by sending
her to the city prison for ten days. Upon hear
ing the sentence, she lost her customary self
possession, and shed tears for the first time
During her Imprisonment it is probable that the
Police Committee will procure for her female
apparel, in which she can leave the prison, to
be laid aside again on the first opportunity, as
she appears to be entirely welded to her mascu-
line toggery. Previous to her arrest, she had
been at work several days, together with the
young chap who represents himself as her half
brother, upon coal boat near New Richmond,
and was regarded as an excellent hand. She
drank nothing, but worked steadily and faith
fully, and no one suspected that she was not
what she appeared an Industrious boy.
Just previous to her arrest, she had been
playing euchre in coffee-house for the drinks, y
and her awkward manner of handling the cards
attracted attention Having lost, she invited
the party to the counter to drink, herself indulg-
ing in stomach bitters" only, and tossed her
money upon the counter with the air of a man
of the world who was familiar with its bar
berous ways. A few minutes after she was
taken into custody by an officer, and locked up.
The half-brother was yesterday discharged
Altogether, it is a case of peculiar strangeness
and interest.
