AMERICA.  Intelligence to the 6th states that the New Gransdian difficulty is virtually settled. General Herron acknowledges the debt. The means of payment are another matter.  The Government at Washington apprehended no serious difficulty between Spain and Mexico. The Spanish Minister called and delivered to Genersl Cass a draft on Havannah for 35,000 dollars, *with which to pay the interest on the Spanish debt in New York. The New York Daily Times says : A special despatch from Washington indicates that a treaty arrangement is under consideration between Loll Napier and General Cass, for the final settlement of the Central American controversy with Great Britain, growing oat of British occupation of the Bay Islands. The country will certainly rejoice if England furnishes evidence of the sincerity of her professed change of policy in regard to the American continent, by retiring from her untenable posi• tion in regard to Central America.  The New York Express of the 6th sap, with regard to the rumour in England of a new Foreign Legion being raised for Indid:—  A rumour was afloat in the city yesterday, to the effect that certain British officials were again engaged in enlisting men in the United States to serve in the war against the disaffected in India.  The accounts from the States respecting the harvest prospects are on the whole most satisfactory.  IrtiatO.  HIS EXCELLENCY THE EARL OF CARLISLE, aOOOl7l- by Lady Fanny Howard and his suite, left Dublin on Tuesday, to pay a visit to Waterford. His Excellency is the guest of the Marquis of Waterford. The noble earl will also visit Castletown, the seat of the Hon. Major Stuart. _ _ _  SPOLLEN, the man lately tried and found " Not Guilty" of the murder of Mr. Little, has had the hardihood to appear in public at St. Patrick's Theatre, Dublin, in order to give an account of his trial, and solicit the aid of the public to enable him to emigrate. The first exhibition took place on Tuesday, and was a decided failure. Very few persons were present, and those only to protest against the proceedings, and to call upon him to explain who told his wife where the money was hid, to which Spollen replied, " That is nothing to you, sir," and then added that "if he was the most guilty man in existence he was not to be left to starve." He concluded by stating that " supposing he was the guilty mtn it was a most dreadful thing to have the sacred bond of matrimony destroyed by his wife." Here he was interrupted by a request to state as formerly who told his wife where the money was, to which he replied, "he did not know, he had no suspicion," adding further :  There may be domestic fights that it would not be very fPrling to me to enter into an explanation of; perhaps it is more honourable that I should hold them, and that they should remain with myself. My position is a very severe one.  In the evening Spollen made his second appearance, but, as before, only two or three were present besides the police and representatives of the press. One of the public addressed Spollen, conjuring him to give such explanations as would remove the doubts of his innocence, or at once to declare himself guilty if be was guilty. Spollen answered, " What course am I to adopt*' when suddenly his son rushed forward, and in the most excited manner told him not to answer such questions. THE BRITISH AssocivrioN will assemble early next week Dublin, and the most complete preparations have been made by an efficient local committee to give eclat to their visit. The meeting is expected to be very fully attended.
