WASHINGTON, June II


A correspondence has been goine on for
some months with the British Government
relative to the manner in which the United
States were carrying out the provisions of the
Ashburton Treaty touching the suppression
of the Slave trade. England thought the
treaty should either be observed according to
its spirit, or that proper steps should be taken
for its abrOgation. | have reason to believe
that the State Department is in the receipt of
a note from Lord Lyons concerning commu-
nication from Admiral Gray, commanding the
British squadron on the coast Of Africa, in
which that officer complains Of Commodore
Conover's want of efficiency in his efforts to
carry out the treaty stipulations. He says
that the African Slave trade is conducted al
most wholly under the American fiag, and
enumerates twenty-five instances of as COM
ing within his knowledge. AS our govern
ment claims of others strict conformity to
treaty provisions, President Buchanan has
determined to answer the complaints, which
he regards as well founded, by ordering to
the coast of Africa and the Gulf of Mexico
all the new gun-boats now approaching COM
pletion at the several navy-yards. These lit
tie steamers are peculiarly fitted for the SER
vice, and will be put in commission as soon
as possible.
Lord and Lady Napier are now in London.
His lordship writes that the impression in
London is that Germany will soon be involved
in the war, and with Germany, all Europe

pie is so wild that they cannot be checked
An army will marcn to the Rhine, he thinks,
at an early day. This necessarily involves
England in the fight.

IMMIGRATION ON THE INcREAsE.-Immigra-
ton is on the increase. To one who frequents
the boats on their arrival, it is very obvious,
and is an encouraging sign. What we lost
by the Pixies Peak bubble, we seem to be
gaining again. The boats carry full loads,
even crowded, and hundreds get off below to
get back to the interior.
We notice fleet of "prairic schooners" in
our streets every day or two, and enquiry
shows US that they are intending to settle on
some of the rich lands back in the country
beyond us. The immigration of Swedes,
Germans and Norwegians is said to be very
large. They come by companies and colonies
of hundreds. They are just the class of set
tiers we need now, to open the country and
prepare the way for its denser settlements
result that is sure to make the pioneers
wealthy in the end.

Reading the Bible I'm the New York
Schools.

A contest has been going on for years be-
tween the Roman Catholics of New York and
the people of other Christian denominations
generally, with respect to the reading of the
Bible in the schools of that city. The Roman
Catholics opposed the reading of it, and the
other sects were in favor of it. The contest
has been renewed from time to time, and u
short time since engrossed great deal of at
tention, and the trustees of ten out of the two
hundred and ten public schools in the city
prohibited its reading in them.
On Wednesday the 10Th, after considera-
BILE delay, the whole question came up in the
Board of Education. A Bylaw, reported at
previous meeting, making it obligatory on
all teachers, after the first of august next,
to open their schools by reading portion
of the Holy Scriptures, without note or COM
ment, was adopted by the very decided vote
of 25 to 16, only three members of the Board
being absent. The debate was prolonged and
animated, and there were several attempts
made to stave off action, all of which proved
unavailing.

storms, wars, panics and other calamities
were sent to rebuke the American people for
their wish to feed Europe is rather funny, but
we see by the press, has been promulgated
from many pulpits. We heard a sermon by
q divine of this city sabbath or two since
advancing the idea IN substance that these
reverses and calamities were sent in order to
peach Man to place proper value on tempo
raj possessions, to discipline the heart, and by
direct but severe lessons, to point man to
look to the laying up of possessions above,
and not too much to worldly gain. Nodoubt
from such views many profitable deductions
can be drawn by those disposed to take seri-
GUS views of them-but, how few do.

tractor for the work, which will be finished by

and on many recently opened streets in the
lower part of the city. In the First Ward
are quite number of stone and brick man
sions and frame cottages, and in the Fourth

spirit seems to be manifest, too, for laying out

dens, and no city in the west ere long can RI
