From the Journal of Commerce. The Bay Itlands. The clause in the Dallas-Clarendon Tieaty, as amended by the TJ. S. Senate, declaring the sovereign ty ol the Republic of Honduras over the Bay Islands to be absolute, and free from all limiiations or con ditions, generally supposed to be that portion of the treaty to which the British Government have taken exception, and which has caused its final rejection. It was certainly understood in this country, and it was apparently the general impression in England, that by the treaty negotiated last August between I. oid Claren,!on an Don Vicior Herran, special Envoy of Honduras, the Queen of Great Britain renounced ail right, real or supposed, to 'he islands of Ruatan, Bonacca, Uiill, Barbarat, Helene and Moxat, known as the Bay Islands and fcrmally ceded them to the Republic of Honduras, the government of that State agreeing: to respect ihe rights and posses sions of the British settlers, and giving them the op tion to become citizens of Honduras, or to continue British subjects under British protection ; and that the only return or equivalent to be made by Hondu ras, wnts a right of transit from ocean to ocean guar anteed to Great Britain and the United States, and an undertaking to make a fiee port at each terminus of the proposed road. This arrangement of the Central American contro versy, so far as the Bay Islands were concerned, was considered very satisfactory, both in this country and in England. According to the strict right of the question, in the American view of the case, there was no treaty necessary to restore to Honduras the islands which belonged to her of right; which she had al ways claimed to he part of the territory ceded to her in 1821, when Spain abandoned all claim to that country, and which she had never lost cr ceded to any other power by conquest or treaty. It was only necessary for Great Britain to abandon territory which she had improperly seized and illegally held, and by the colonization ot which, in 1852 two years after the conclusion of the Clayton Bulwer Treaty she had manifestly violated the letter and spirit of that Convention. If, however, the Government of Groat Britain thought it more consi tent with the na tional dignity to satisfy our claims without and direct concession to us, by separate negotiauon with Hon duras, so long as the end was accomplished, and the islands restored to their proper owner, we had no ob jection to make, imd only rejoiced that so honorable and satisfactory a means of adjusting the difficulty had been deviled. The London papers at the time were of the san e opinion, and thought that " the relinquishment of some worthless islands," the title of which was more than doubtful, was a cheap price to uy for the settlement of a tangled and embarrass ing dispute. The claim that the Bay Islands were especially exempted from the application of the Clayton-Bulwer Treaty, as being the " small islands in the neighbor hood of the Belize and known as its dependencies," to which it was agreed that the provisions of the Convention should notextenil, is obviously not tenable from the fact that the most Southern paitof the Belize is more than 100 miles distant from the most Northern part of the Bay Islands, and all doubt on the subject was removed by a despatch written by Sir George Grey, then Colonial Secretaiy, in 1836, to Mr. Ccxe, Agent of the " Eastern coast of Central Ameiica Commercial and Agricultural Company," in which the boundaries of the Belize are clearly de fined, and which not only do not include the Bay Islands or any of them, but do not come within sixty miles of them in any direction. It being thus mani fest that the Bay Islands do not form any pan of the " dependencies" of the Belize settlement, a limited right to which for ocrlain specified parpeeo m granted to Great Britain by the crown of Spain in 1783, and subsequently confirmed in 1786, as they were not specifically ceded by Spain at any lime, and as Honduras has never conveyed them and has al ways protested against the British pretensions to their possession, it was not unreasonable that the Govern ment of the United States shoul 1 consider the Royal Warrant of March 26, 1852, creating the colony of the Bay Islands, a violation of the Treaty of July 4, 1850, by which the United States and Great Britain agreed never to " occupy, or fortify, o. colonize, or assume or exercise any dominion over Nicaragua, Costa Rica, or the Mosquito Coast, or any part of Central America." To give the nominal sovereignty of the islands to Honduras while Great Britain reserves a protecting power over the colony and dictates the nature of the institutes which Honduras is to establish, amounts practically to no cession at oil, and is open to the same objections on the part of this country as the pretended British sovereignty by virtue 0! Colonel MacDonald's seizure of the islands. If it be admit ted that Honduras is entit ed 'o the possession of the islands that they are and always have been geo graphically and politically attached to Honduras what possible rtght can Great Britain have to make her abandonment to the lawful owner of that to which she never had any right, the ground for interfering with the internal affairs of an independent State, and dictating how the restored territory should be gov erned ? At all events, how can Great Britain ex pect that the United States will join in the interfer ence and participate in the dictation ? If Honduras thinks proper to exclude negro slavery from ituatan and the other islands on her coast, we have no dis position to disapprove her decision, and no right to interfere ; and if, on the other Land, she thinks it conducive, to her interests to establish negro servitude, neither the United States nor Great Britain has any f ower to prevent her, without an unwarrantable vio ation of her independence as a sovereign State. If the alleged cause of the rejection of the Treaty by the British Governmentjprove to be correct, we may regret that the controversy between the two countries is still unsettled, and that four years have been spent in fruitless negotiation ; but our Govern ment are fiee from all reproach as being in any way accountable for the failure, either from want of good faith and a sincere anxiety :o adjust tie difficulty in a manner satisfactory to all parties, or from a too unyielding adherence to their own vierrs and opin ions. Road to California A letter from 'Vashington to."

Truth Well Spoken. The tendency of agricultural "pursuits is to gire distinctness and strength to home associations and lrnuences. The greater communities are made up of the smaller ; and as a community increases in magnitude it decreases in its local influences. At tho base of all is the divinely-appointed institution of the family, where the greatest power is concentrated in the hands of the father, who is the patriarch, le gislator, j udge and executot of his household estate. Living on his own domain, with his woodlands, pas tures, meadows and hills, and streams about him, he is supreme, with only those few and necessary imi tations which the larger community throws around him. It is here that the influence. of woman man's first and last comforter on earth is felt and recog nized. It is here that Bhe openeth her mouth with wisdom, and in her tongue is the law of kindness." It in here that "she looketh well to her household, and eateth not the bread of idleness." It was at hpme that King Lemuel learned the good and wise " words that his mother taught him." Mother ! The sweetest word in all the babbling languages of men! It is the mission of woman it is the holy mission of the mother to impress upon the young mind the first lessons of truth, virtue, wisdom and courage. Her empire is in the affections of her husband and children, who " arise up and call her blessed." ?P right regulation of these independent house holds depends the welfare of the larger communities which, wh powers more limiteJ, are composed of these smaller ones. And, so as the influences of these Association and Fairs are calculated to enno ble, dignify and enrioV the occupation of the farmer, just so far will they tena t0 increase tho acliveoesa and the wholesome influences of his home making him and the members of his household, better citi zens of the la-ger communities. The family being a divine institution, tho sentiment and the affection upon which it is based are. innate in man. Hence it is universality. No merely hu man institution, however perfect, can ever take its place. Directly, or indirectly, almost all great and good men have been indebted for their benificent power and influence, to the early teachings of pa rents, and the genial nurture of home. Above all nations, we should cherish the family relation. Tho influence of home was the inspiration that swelled the great hearts of our fathers for the struggle which has given freedom to their sons ; and we will fail to transmit the boon to our descendants, if we enlist not for its preservation the helps by which it was originally won. If all homes could be made pleas ant, and all family relations fraternal, kind and pure society would lose its hypocrisy and guile ; and man kind, actuated by true Christian charity, would move sleadiiy on, from triumph to triumph toward the per fection of the intellectual and moral nature of man. The spirit of inquiry, investigation and enterprise, that has been awakened at the Township, County and State Fairs, by competition for premiums on household fabrics, and on products of the dairy, the farm and the shop, may justly be regarded as a link in the chain of home education ; and this is a very proper direction for things to take at this period in our history. At the base of the prosperity of any people lies this great principle make labor fashionable at home. Educate, instruct and encourage, and offer all the in centives you can to give interest and dignity to labor at home. Enlist the heart and intellect of the fami ly in support of a domestic system that will mako labor attractive at the homestead. By means of the powerful influences of early home education, endea vor to invest practical labor that will cheer the heart of each member vl llie family, and thereby you will give to your household the grace, peace, refinement and attraction which God designed a home should possess. The truth is, wo must talk more, think more, work more and act more, in reference to ques tions relating to home. The training and improvement of the physical, in tellectual, social and moral power and sentiments of the youth of our country, requires something more than the School House, Academy, College, and Uni versity. The young mind shoulJ receive judicious training in the fbld, in the garden, in the barn, in ths workshop, in the parlor, in the kitchen in a word, around the hearthstone, at home. . Whatever intellectual attainments your son may have acquired, he is unlit to go forth into society if he has not had thrown around him the genial and purifying influences of parents, sisters, brothers, and the man-saving influence of the family government. The nation must look for virtue, wisdom and strength, to the education that controls and shapes the home policy of the family circle. There can be no love of country where there is no love of home. Patriotism, true and genuine, the only kind worthy of the name, derives its mighty strength from foun tains that gush out around the hearth-stone; and those wiio forget to cherish the household interests will soon learn to look with indifference upon the interests of their common country. We most cultivate the rortta not thn inn VJn must make the family government, the school, tho farm, the church, the 6hop, the agricultural fair, the laboratories of our future greatness. Wo must edu cate our sons to be farmers, artisans, architects, en gineers, geologists; hottaniets, chemists in a word, practical men. Their eyes must be turned from Washington to their States, conn. ies, townships, dis tricts, homes. This is true patriotism, and the only patriotism that will perpetually preserve the nation.
