The larger part of the Balize had never been
the subject of actual survey, officially de-
clarcd by Lord Grey in 1886; and the above men,
toned Convention, it is said, merely defnitvely
fixes its territorial limits, which act was intended
by Guatemala a barrier to British encroach- =
ments on its soil. This arrangementsis is claimed
TO be in accordance with the Dallas-Clarendon
treaty; clause of which, to this effect srfbstan-
rally, conseting to such an arrangement having
been ratified by the United States Senate while
the treaty itself defeated by that body, owing
to clause therein of an anti-slavery character.
The other points proposed to be settled in the
same treaty, name y: with regard to the Island
of Ruatan, and the surrender of the Mosquito
proectorate to Nicaragua will be placed in charge
of Mr.. Wyke, the British Minister and it is
thought that these questions viii be adjusted by
him TO the satisfaction of all parties concerned:
Great Britain having undertaken to remove the
obstruction to the full force OF the Clayton Buwer
treaty.
If any dissatisfaction exists, it is because Great
Britain has first settled the point which is of the
most importance to her. but this may be the re-
sult of accident; Sir William Gore Ousley having
previously sought TO surrender the Mosquito pro-
ectorate to Nicaragua, but irs terms unsatisftcto-
ry to that Republic. What he has failed to do,
it scontidenty expected his successor, Mr.. N7yke,
wiz accomplish.

IMPORTANT DIsC0vERY.-The Liverpool Post
speaks of recent discovery, by Mr. Napier, Of
Glasgow, by which the consumption of fuel in
steam ships is greatly ecOnomizcd:
1t has been tried in several ocean steamers, and
With success. The saving is onc-thi"d in the
quantity OF coal used and, avoiding technicai-
ties, the fact will be best understood when we
say that avoyage 10 the West Indies and back,
the saving would be between 4 500 and E20OC.
Used by all the West India mail boats, the aHnu-
al cost would be abridged by a very large sum
The saving Of cost in coal is only of many
advantages At present Goals bulky and
