THE PLATTE RIvER.-The Portsmouth, Nebraska,
Sentinel, gives favorable account of the ma
vigation of the Platte than has before been pub
lished The steamer Florida made, lately, trial
trip with the following result:
She expected, according to report to find that
stream impracticable for the passage of steamboats,
but pleasantly disappointed at the great depth
of the water and feasibility of the channel 1t is
the opinion of her officers that the Platte is not
only capable of carrying small steamers, but that
it will soon become of the foremost streams on
the continent for all ordinary uses of navigation
The greatest difficulty, they say, is the rapidity
of the current-faster even than the Missouri, and
necessarily causing slow upward progress with
boats fsma motive power. But this objection
can and will be overcome, by strong machinery in
boats running on the river. Its waters are compar-
atively clear and in this respect greatly superior
the Missouri and Lower Mississippi rivers. We
venture the opinion that two years hence, the
Platte river will bear upon its bosom a trade
y orquite equal to that of the Missouri above this
place

WEATHER IN ENGLAND.-A morning paper says
"The nightingale was heard in England on the
18th of February. That is remarkable fact. 1t
has been repeatedly heard since; so the declaration
may be believed Over the greater part of the pas
turage of the kingdom the grass has not ceased to
be green throughout the winter and the roses and
honeysuckles put out shoots almost as soon as their
latest leaves dropped. All the spring flowers of
our gardens welcomed open-eyed the coming in OF
March. The elm, Lombardy poplar, and thorns,
have burst their buds at the very beginning of the
month, while the willow catkins have overhung the
streams as in April. Apricots and peaches were in
bloom above week ago; and in the fruit-growing
counties, where the cherries and pears are bloom
ing already, the growers in state of high ten
sion touch of frost between night and morning
would cost hundreds of pounds each to hundreds OF
propretors of orchards. 'The oldest inhabitant of
many an agricultural district hardly remembers so

The PARAGUAY ExPEDITIoN-A Buenos Ayres let
ter of January n says:
Judge Bowlin, our Commissioner, started up the
river for Asuncon, on the I'd inst, on board the
United States steamer Fulton. He was stopped at
the fort of ltaperan, and informed that by law or
decree then in force, no armed vessel was allowed
to ascend the river Paraguay. Judge Bowlin an
swered the officer in command that he came, in the
name and duly authorized by the United States of
America, for the purpose of concluding treaty with
Paraguay, and to seek, peaceably, indemnity for
the past, and security for the future"
Whilst communications were being interchanged
between Commissioner Bowin and the comma ander
OF the fort taperan the penipotentiaries by the
Paraguayan government arrived, and proposed an
adjournment to the neutral city of Corrientes in the
Argentine republic. They expressed, on the part
OF their government the most anxious desire for a
fair, just and peaceable arrangement with the gov
ernment of the United States; and further, that
they were authorized to grant to the United States
a treaty similar to those present existing between
their government and the governments of England,
France and Sardinia; and Furthermore, to leave to
arbitration any and all such claims as the United
States or any of its citizens might have against the
government of Paraguay. Judge Bown replied that
such being the case, he would not then make posi-
tive answer, but would meet the aforesaid plenipo-
teniaries at the said city of Corrienes within thir
