Treaty Between Honduras and Great BritainBay
Islands Ceded to Honduras The Mosquito Protec
torate Abandoned. - -
The New York Herald contains a letter dated Lon
don, Aug. 15, announcing the definite settlement of
the Cential American Question, by a treaty which,
it is alledged, has been arranged between Lord Claren
don and Sr. Don Victor Herron, Plenipotentiary of
Honduras in London. The writer says :
The treaties drawn up by these negotiators have
already been signed, and consist : First, of a general
treaty of amity and commerce. Second, of a conven
tion for the adjustment of all claims of British sub
jects on the Government of Honduras, and for the ex
tinction of any Indian (Mosquito) titles within the
territories recognized as pertaining to Honduras ; and
third, a convention for the restoration to the sover
eignty of Honduras of the Bay Islands.
The convention for the restoration of the Bay is
lands istfiat which, from the circumstances of their
occupation and colonization by Great Britain havin
been regarded in the United States as a flagrant vio"
lation of the Clayton and Bulwer convention, first
claims attention, and will excite much interest. The
convention restores these islands to the sovereignty
of Honduras, only stipulating, on behalf of the'peo
ple who have established themselves there under the
British occupancy, the perpetual enjoyment of cer
tain rights and privileges. The -round upon which
the restoration is made is the importance of preserv
ing neutral the route of the proposed inter-oceanic
railway tnrougn Honduras. Art. 1 sets forth :
Taking into consideration the peculiar topographi
cal position of Honduras, and in order to secure the
neutrality of the islands adjacent thereto, with refer
ence to the proposed inter oceanic railway across the
territories of Honduras, &c, therefore these islands
are placed by mutual agreement under the sovereign
ty of the republic of Honduras.
The inhabitants alreadv established there are l.
To govern themselves by means of their own munici
pal government, to be administered by legislative,
executive and judicial officers of their own election,
according to their own regulations. 2. Trial by jury
in their own courts. 3. Perfect freedom of religious
belief and worship, public and private. 4. Exemp
tion from all taxation on real estate or other property,
except such as may be imposed by their own munici
pality, and collected for the treasury of the same, and
to be applied to the common benefit. 5. Exemption
from military service, except for their own defence.
J he republic of Honduras engages not to exercise
its rights of sovereignty in any manner to violate the
rights and immunities specified in this article. The
republic of Honduras also engages not to erect nor
permit to be erected any fortifications on said islands,
or any others in the Bay of Honduras, nor cede such
islands, or any of them, or the right of sovereignty
over them, or any part of such sovereignty, to any
naiion or Stale whatsoever.
Art. 11. The contracting narties aeree to commu-
nicate the present convention to all other maritime
powers, and to invite them to accede to it.
This is the tctal of the convention touching the
" Colony of the Bay Islands," which thus disappears
from the list of British colonies, and devolves to its
legitimate owner, Honduras. The stipulations con
cerning religious freedom and trial by jury are thus
foicedon Honduras, and furnish the germs from
which those eminently Anglo-Saxon ideas or insti
tutions must soon spread to the main land the soon
er the better.
The second convention provides for the establish
ment of a board of three arbitrators one to be nam
ed by the English government, the second by that of
nonuuras, ana tne tniru to oe cnosen by the two
ihus named. He must not be a British subject, a
citizen of Central America, nor of the United States.
1 his commission is to hear, and decide on all claims
as between British subjects and the republic of Hon
duras, and its decission is to be final and without
appeal.
The limits of Honduras are recognized as extending
to Cape Gracios a Dios, and the Rio Wanks oi Lego
ria on the south ; but if the Commission of Arbitra
tion find that there are any Mosquito Indians in the
territory above that river, they are to decide upon
the time when such Indians shall withdraw from it,
and the amount of the annuity meantime to be paid
to them in consideration of such withdrawal.
The treaty of amity, commerce and navigation
contains the usual stipulations of such treaties, with
an additional article of guaranteeing the neutrality
and protecting the independence of the proposed
great inter-oceanic railway through Honduras.
The letter sta'es that the terms of the arrangement
between Great Britain and Honduras only require the
approval of the Legislature of Honduras, which will
be given, of course, and add3:
Ii should be observed that the government of France
has agreed to the article guaranteeing the Honduras
railway, as an appendix to the treaty with Honduras,
already existing. It is well understood that these
guarantees secure an amount of public interest in this
railway which ensures its speedy construction.
In respect to the remaining issue in the Central
American complication, it has been agreed between
Lord Clarendon and Mr. Dallas that the port of San
Juan de Nicaragua (Greytown) shall return under
the sovereignty of Nicaragua, subject, however, to
the same stipulations with the Bay Islands. The
Mosquito soveieignty, so called is to disappear
forever, and the Musquito Indians are to concentrate
themselves within a certain defined territory, within
which they shall have, for a term of years, such
possessory rights as are accorded to the Indians on
the American " Indian reservations." Meantime
they are to enjoy a small annuity from the State of
Nicaragua, to be fixed by arbitrators, who are to be
appointed in the same manner with those charged
with similar duties in Honduras.
ln respect to Belize, it ia understood, as Guatemula,
being in the English interest and not having made
any complaints of Brtish encroachments since the
agitation of the Central American question com
menced in 1849, that, therefore, the limits of Belize
will be understood to be those which claimed at the
time of the ratification of the Bulwer-Clayton conven
tion in 1850, viz : as extending southward to the
river Sarstoon.

Fillmore at tlie North.
It is manifest that Mr. Fillmore is regarded by a
great portion of the North as an equally efficient ally
with Fremont, in resisting the constitutional rights
of the South. His open denunciation ot the repeal
of the Missouri Compiomise line, indicates his anti
Southern sentiments, and, but for his manifest weak
ness as a candidate, he would receive a much larger
vote from the free-soil opponents of Mr. Buchanan.
Geo T. Davis of Massachusetts, has declined the
nomination of the Fillmore American Convention of
that State, for the office of Attorney General not
because Mr. Fillmore does not represent his (D.'s )
anti-slavery sentiments, bul because he wishes to
make his vote effective by casting it for Fremont, the
only formidable opponent ot bucnanan. were is
what Mr. Davis says:
" I have great personal regard and respect for Mr.
Fillmore, and great confidence in the national and
harmonizing influences, which, if elected, he would
be likely to bring around him. But I cannot resist
the conviction that the practical issue of this election
lies between the supporters of Mr. Buchanan and the
supporters of Mr. Fremont. In this situat:on of
things, l would especially avoio tne nsk oi casting au
ineffective vote. 1 will not. by word or act, obstruct
the expression of that sentiment which should assert
itself with undivided force against the breach of a
time-hallowed national compromise, and the attempt
to force the institution of slavery into free territory at
the point of the bayonet.
u These views are likely to bring me to a different
conclusion as to a Presidential candidate, from that
contemplated by your Convention, and this in itself
seems to bo a sufficient reason for most respectfully
declining the honor tendered to me."
But we have still further and stronger evidence.
The notorious Tom Corwin who, in 1848, stumped
Ohio and recommended Mr. Fillmore to the support
of the people of that State, on the ground that he was
an Abolitionitt, thus defines his position through the
columns of the Cincinnati Columbian :
"We are authorised by Governor Corwin to say,
that our notice of his relation to the present Presiden
tial contest is not accurate. Mr. Corwin will vo'e the
Fillmore ticket, if it shall be run with a fair prospect
of success in Ohio, Mr. Fillmore being the man he
prefers. But if the Fillmore ticket is not likely to
carry Ohio, then he will vote for Fremont and Dayton;
that he does sympathise with the Republican party in
many of their principles, but to some of the extreme
dogmas announced by tbem he cannot give his as
sent. He believes all that is desirable and proper may
be accomplished by the election of Mr. Fillmore, and
that he is the man just now wanted to do exact justice
to both the North and the South, and restore tranquili
ty to the country." Richmond Enquirer.
"XManee Committee ' or San Franclico.
e puuiisn m another column a letter from a gen .
tleman :n San Francisco, who, from his position and
character, we have reason to believe, speaks from
the honest conviction of his mind. He not long
since removed to San Francisco from this vicinity,
and writes under the deliberate observation of a dis
interested resident of the place. Frankly confiding
to us his name, though writing such a letter at con
siderable personal risk, should he be detected, we are
enabled to publish his communication as a reliable
exposition of the feeling and sentiment of intelligent
members of society in San Francisco, even under the
hideous misrule of the subverted laws. There can
be no question with any rational man here that the
representations of our correspondent, as to the actual
revolutionary character of the Vigilance Committee
are fully warranted by the lacts. The constitution i
of the United States, no leas than of the State of Cal
ifornia, is manifestly treated as an absolute nullity,
and that of necessity a. necessity, however, which
the members of the committee have created by their
organization and acts, and which now rolds tbem
the very slaves of its stern and uncompromising
force. Already the retributive influence of violated
laws is upon them, and the members of the Vigilance
Committee are verging upon that reaction which will
make them the victims of their own lawless proceed
ings. Self-defence wi'I compel them to sustain their
unlawful organization as long as possible ; and it is
quite probable that the end may be self-banishment.
We venture the suseestion that everv memher nf
the committee has repeatedly asked himself, and all
have considered together the host method of laying
down their power and retreating from the response
bihty they have incurred. Yet at this very moment
there is not a man among them who can propose an
acceptable method of doing so. And why ? Be
cause they have not accomplished what they pro
posed. The pretence was that San Francisco needed
such a movement as this to purify its social condi
tionto purge out disorderly material. And what
has been done Some four or five wretches have
been hung, and a dozen or two of suspected men
banished. These latter may come back at any time
after the Vigilance Committee is disbanded, and the
result will then be four or five men unlawfully de
prived of life. And unless these four or five men
were the whole and sole cause of all the social evil
in San Francisco, nothing remedial has been done.
On the other hand the most pernicious consequences
have been entailed upon society. The moral effect
of constitutional law, of popular sovereignty, of the
first, best and most sacred institutions of our coun
try, is fearfully impaired. Trial by jury, habeas
corpus, open courts, have all been assailed, dishon
ored, and superceded by a lawless oreanization. se
cret tribunals, false imprisonment, and murders by a
mob under the name of executions. Thus let the
end of this Vigilance Committee come when and how
it may, the testimony of society against it will be that
it has done mischief and only mischief.
And it is good that it is so. Ic is impossible to cal
culate the evil that might ensue, should it seem to
other communities that a temporary or partial good
had resulted from such plausible lawlessness. We
see already thoughtless writers in journals at home
frequently hinting at the necessity of a Vigilance
Committee to correct this or that social or political
evil of the day. We have lawlessness, violence and
rowdyism enough, it must be confessed ; but it be
hooves us still to deprecate, as a greater evil than
any that we have ever known, the organization of a
power independent ot and superior to the Jaws and
constituted authorities for their administration.

Free State Reports from Kansas. The Dixon
Transcript states that a returned " free State" man
related the following at a Fremont meeting in that
city : It is doubtless as well founded, and certainly
no more ridiculous than a thousand and one othar
reports from the same quarter.
A certain free State man was attacked by three or
four pro slavery men, who tied a rope around the
free State man's neck, and attempted to lake his life
by dragging him over the ground ; failing to accom
plish this by such means of violence, in as short
a space of time as desired, the company became
enraged and literally cut the man to pieces with
knives, and then threw him into a wagon to convey
him home ; having some distance to travel before
reaching the home of the unfortunate victim to such
inhuman conduct, his blood and hair became frozen
to the wagon. On arriving at his house, the poor
man opened his eyes, embraced his wife, and told
her he had been inhumanly murdered.

mllE Subscribers are very much obliged to their NEW
J CUSTOMERS who have opened Pass Books with them,
and as a goodly number of the old merchants are about to
retire from business, we will embrace this opportunity of say

that we keep constantly on hand a variety of Groceries and
Provisions, and are at all times prepared to furnish families
with articles in this line. We request our customers to re
turn any article that does not give satisfaction. We also at
tend to the furnishing of Hands with Provisions.

Turpentine The market since our last has ruled firm.
with a fair demand from distillers and shippers, and about
all received has been taken at $2 80 for virgin and yellow
dip. and $1 40 for hard, per bbl. of 280 lbs. Tho receipts
since our last have been small, but tho recent rains will very
probably enable parcels to Le brought in from above tide

next week. The sales comprise 3,541 bbls , as follows :

Spirits Turpentine Tho market has rulod quiet since
our last, and on Friday declined 1 cent on quotation of Thurs
day last. There is more firmness this morning at the time
of closing our enquiries, and it has gone up cent. The
week's transactions have been light, and Toot up only 1,245
bbls., viz:
Friday 75 bbls. at 38 cents per gallon.
Saturday 200 " 38 " " "
Tuesday 420 " 38 " " "
Wednesday.. 500 " 38 " " "
Thursday 50 " 38 " " "
This morning there appears to be a fair enquiry, and 33
cents is pretty freely offered ; sellers, however, are generally
demanding higher rates.
Rosin The continued scarcity of vessels has operated
materially against transactions in this article, as buyers are
not disposed to operate on account of tho difficulty in ship
ping. We note the sale of only 1,000 barrels Common (this
morning) at f 1 05 for large size bbls. a decline of 5 cents.
No sales in No. 2, and quotations in table are, therefore,
merely nominal. In No. 1 we notice only two or three small
parcels have changed hands at? $1 87i, $3 65, $la$4 50 per
bbl., as in quality.
Tar Continues to be brought in very sparingly, and is
in moderate demand at our quotation. Only one small par
cel received this week, which was taken at $1 50 per bbl.
Beef Cattle and Sheep. The market is very well sup
plied with beeves and sheep, and rules quite dull, as there
is little or no demand from butchers. A small drove of the
former received, and were taken at 5 cents per lb. for grass
fatted ; we quote at 5 a 6 cents, as in quality. One small
parcel of Sheep also brought in, and sold at f I 50 per head.
Coffee. The market for this article continues to rule ex
ceedingly dull, and we further reduce our quotations a shade
for Rio and St. Domingo. There is a fair stock of most de
scriptions in store, and only occasional sales are made at
quotations, as in quantity and quality. See table
Corn Meal. No change in price ; fair supply on market,
and demand limited. We quote from store at 75 cents per
bushel, in quantities to suit.
Empty Barrels. The receipts of Spirits Turpentine bar
rels continue exceedingly light, and the stock remaining on
market is very small. We note a fair enquiry for them, and
saies are quicK at si e eacn ior prime second hand ones
and $1 75 each lor parcels as they run ; -new are nominal
at $2.
Eggs Are brought in sparingly, and sell from carts readi
ly at zo a i cents per dozen.
risH For Mullets there is a fair demand, and but few
have been brought to market. One or two small lots sold
from vessel at $6 50 a $7 per bbl., according to quality.
IT. . i f . 1 1 1 ' i. ,
r or store rates oi oiner aescripuons we wouia reicr to our
table.
Feathers There i3 a tood stock in store, and little or
no demand. We quote at 40 a 45 cents per lb.
Flour But very little has been done in this article for
several weeks past. I he receipts have been fair for the week
just ended, and in consequence of the limited operations there
is now a good supply in first hands. Only a few small trans
actions have taken place, and our quotations of to-day
show a decline of 75 cents a $1 per bbl. Parcels are now
pretty freely offered at our quotation, but buyers do not
seem disposed to purchase, and we therefore quote State
brands nominally at $6 50 for fine, $7 for superfine, 7 50
lor extra, and $ 55 per bbl. tor family ; present appearances
inaicaxe a decided downward tendency in prices.
Grain In Corn we have no change to note in price. The
market is pretty well supplied, but there is a moderate de
mand from dealers and a few cargoes would find ready sale at
our quotation. The receipts for the week comprise only 3,
856 bushels from Hyde county on Wednesday, 3,500 of which
were taken by a dealer at 62i cents per bushel : balance un
sold. Oats For this article there is merely a retail ce-
mand, and dealers have a full supply in store . A cargo of
j,iuu Dusneis received on yesterday, but not yet sold.-
LuMBERRiver Ncthine dona.. Last gala of flooring
boards was at 1 10 perM. ; ,. V "
Molasses There is nothing of moment doing. None on
market with the exception of a email lot of Cuba, and there
is barely any demand. We qnote from wharf at 40 a 42
cents in hhds., and from store 45 a 46 cents per gallon, in.
bbls. .. .
Potatoes Somo few Sweet have been brought in, and
sold from carts and boats at fl 50 a $1 75 per bushel. One
small lot of Irish received, and retailed from store at f 3 50
per bbl.
Provisions For N. C. cured Bacox the market has con
tinued very dull throughout the week just ended. On Mon
day some 6,000 lbs. changed hands from store at IS cents for
sides and shoulders, 90 days ; and 3,000 lbs. hog round at 15
cents per lb., cashthis latter figure being for a prime ar
ticle, as other parcels have been offered at 14 cents, without
finding a buyer. With the exception of above sales, there
has been nothing done except in a Bmall way, at prices rang
ing within quotations. There is a fair stock in first hands,
and retailers seem disposed to hold off in anticipation of a
decline in prices. No sales of hams, and we quote nominally
at 16al7 cents per lb., as in quality. Western cured is also
in full stock, and has ruled extremely dull at a decline of 4&i
cent on previous figures. The demand is limited, and con
fined almost exclusively to sides. We quote small Bales from
store at 12al2 cents for sides, and 11 alii cents per lb. for
shoulders, as in quality. Sugar cured hams are in good
stock, and decidedly dull at 13al3& cents. Laed The
market continues to be very poorly supplied with this article,
and the price rules high. Only one or two small parcels of
N. C. make received, which has changed hands on-arrival at
15 cents per lb. in bbls. and kegs. Western is in small supply,
and sells from store at same price Pork The mar
ket for Northern Mess is about the same as reported
in our last review. There is a fair stock in store, with a
limited enquiry, and only small sales have taken place at
quotations, as in quantity and quality. See table.
Sugars No change in prices; very light supply on market.
We refer to our table for store rates.
Salt We note a decline this week of 5 cents on previous
Quotation. A cariro of 2.000 sacks Liverpool eround receiv
ed coastwise and sold on Friday last at I 10 per sack. 90
days. There is a fair supply now on market, and we note
merely a retail demand. Very little enquiry for alum, and
stock fully sufficient. We quote from store at 50 cents per
bushel.
Shingles Are very dull of sale. No receipts or sales of
contract, and quotations in table are nominal. Very few
common arriving, and we noto the sale of only 50,000 at f 2
per M.
Staves A small lot of W. O. bbl. brought in and sold at
$10 per M. for rough; dull.
Timber JNothmg worthy ot note nas oeen done tne past
week, and the market is very dull. Only 5a6 rafts Bold at
prices quoted in our table.
l ... .. .,, . . . .
f reights Kates coastwise remain tne same as quoted in
our last, with tho exception of wheat which has advanced i
cent, and one or two vessels have been taken up for New
York at 74 cents per bushel. There is a fair quantity ot
produce offering shipment, and very few vessels are now in
port, fcee table.
