ming with Mr.. Stewards farewell dispatch to
Mr.. johnson on the Sd of March last, and end

had not acted on his treaty, but probably would
do so at the opening of the next session. Mr..
johnson, learning from some source, or a vari-
ETY. of sources, that the treaty was likely to be
rejected, set about amending it, and made sew
eral fruitless propositions to that end to Lord
Clarendon. Mr.. johnson wanted to modify
the convention so as to include, not only pri-
vate claims, but those which each government
had against the other, but the British ministry
showed no favor to the proposition, and the ut

DECISIVE AcTIoN.-A warlike demonstra-
tlon recently took place on the part of the
British government toward the Argentine Re
public, the facts of which are briefly that the
Argentine Government found an English YES
sci to deliver its cargo Of coal at given point
well up the Parana or Paraguaran river, and
agreed to give the coal vessel safe CONVOY un-
DER the protection OF man-of-war. At a
certain point upon the river the coal vessel
was lashed to war vessel, and two or three
hundred soldiers of the Argentine army were
taken aboard. These soldiers mutinied, took
possession of and sent adrift the coal vessel
and she grounded in fourteen feet of water,
and was total loss. The owners of the YES
sci presented to the Argentine Republic a
Claim for the loss of the vessel, and damages
amounting to sixty thousand dolas. The
Argentine Government refused to paw, hold
Ing that that government was not responsible
upon the ground that the soldiers had mutt
MED, and were not therefore under the con-
troll OF Argentine authority. The owners of
the coal vessel, English subjects, represented
their case to the British Government. and the
latter Immediately despatched three vessels of
war to buenos Ayres to demand instant repa-
ration for her citizens. The Argentine Gov
ernment, surprised at this prompt and warlike
demand, requested the favor of an arbitration
and. the withdrawal of the English vessels
from their menacing attitude. Considering
the case so violently in favor of Her Majesty's
subjects, the British Government consented
to arbitration, and the whole matter has lust
been referred to the Hon. Reverdy johnson.
by mutual consent of the contending govern
mentS' for his decision. The speedy response
OF the English government to the call of her
subjects and her decisive action is much ap-
plauded.

Teachers, Institufe-LincOIm Gnmu,

The session just closed is regarded by all who
have made themselves acquainted with it as q
perfect success. This is most gratifying re-
suit to the friends of progress in this quarter,
especially as much anxiety was felt and fears
entertained that it might prove failure. The
first session, held at Waldoboro, seemed to in
dictate in the onset that the thing we feared
had come upon us; bat as time advanced, and
Prof Cruttendens and DR.. Trues methods of
imparting instruction began to be developed,
the number increased constantly, until nearly
three times as many were in constant attend
ance as at the commencement of the session.
Many OF the citizens were interested also and
spent much time in listening to the instruc-
ton and discussions by day, and share in the
lures.
The session at Newcastle was commenced
uLder more favorable auspices, and soon Gull
minated in large GLASS of more than eighty
i've members, earnest and attentive, and in de-
votiOn and intelligence second to none.
At the close of the session the following pre-
amble and resolutions were offered by the Rev.
G. Tibbetts, and adopted by large audience
of citizens:
The subscribers having attended the se.-
siODs of the Teachers Institute held at New
Castle the present week, and having been
constantly and deeply interested in their
varied lessons and lectures, as peculiarly ap-
propriate and fundamentally important to
teachers of the young, beg leave to express
their convictions and feelings in the form of
the following resolutions:
fesolued, That we earnestly and gratefully
appreciate and approve the policy of our State
IN providing this means for instructing and
STIMULATING the teachers of our schools, and
tnereoy promoting the cause of popular educa-
Res0tUed, That we have been much prat;f,ed
by the thoroughness and enthusiasm, with
which the teachers aud managers of the In
stitute, have done their work. and hid them a
hearty God speed in all their days and duties
to come.
Resolved, That we rejoice that so many of
the teachers of our county have awaited them
selvesof this valuable opportunity, and ap-
proved it with so much attention and interest.
