Arrival of the Niagara.
LATER FROM EUROPE.
The steamer Niagara, Capt. Stonc, arrived
at New York on Friday morning I-lei‘
news is not very important. Cotton had
fallen, as well as Indian coi‘n, and the mar-
kets were generally dull.
It was reported thatthe Portuguese Gov I
ernment had invited Spain to interpose her‘
good offices in adjusting its difference with
(fire-.it Britain, and that several confer‘cnccs
on the subject had already in ken place be-
tween the Duke of Valencia and Lord [low-
den.
It is said that the King of Naples is at-
tacked with dropsy. «
Lola Montes is said to have become cle-
vout, and gone to Madrid, with a view to
entering a nunnei‘y.
End egfl/re wa.r in G!t.’7“)Il(Z-7l_1/.—~Ol‘l the lst
inst. the Bavarian and Austrian troops en-
tered Hesse Casscl. The dissolution of the
Hessian army partly by the r‘esigi‘raiion of
many ofthe officers, and partly by not of the
elector, had left the country entirely v.-‘ithout
military protection ; while the refusal of sup-
plies by the Chamber had effectual} ‘ stoppcd
all the machinery of civil government. The
proclamation of the Elector‘ and of the DH‘!
at Frankfort were tor‘n down by the pcoplc
but no demonstration made.
According to advices from Cassel, 5f the
2d inst. the _l8th regiment of Prussian lu-
fantry, accompanied by aisquadron of llus
sars and a battery of artillery, entered that l
town on the morning of that day, after‘ a
very severe forced night march. These
ti‘oops were set off by General Grocben from
VVarburg as soon as he received intelligence
of the entry of the Bavariaris and Austrians
on the opposite side of the Electorate. The
military posts in Cassel were occupied by
the Burghcr Guard. The reception of the
Prussian troops by the inhabitzriits was quiet
but friendly.
.D_en-ma.r/t‘ and the Due/iirs.—— No fui‘il‘icr
hostile movements appear‘ to liavo iL‘ilt'Cl.’l
place in either army. The Danish f.~.r‘i‘es,
it is reported, have received a COllSl(lt‘.l'ill..lt‘
increase-—some say to the amount of -l:.2,t)L‘.l.')
men. Typhus fever, however, disables a
large portion of those. From 500 to 500
pieces are said to have been placed in posi-
tion on the Danish defcnccs.
A rumor was in circulation on ’C.‘liangr~
that the Prussion garrison at I-iainliurg llllij
received orders to hold itself in icziiliriisss to
march at a rnomcnt’;-‘ ;n0tice, tlic Diiciiy ol
Holstein being designated as their‘ tlcsiiria
tion. It is added that a corps of 20,000 men
are to enter that Duchy should the Sradtliol-
derate not speedily arrange terms for the
withdrawal of their troops. \Vliat degrr-o of
credibility is attached to these rumors does
not appear. They are said to be the I'(‘SUll.

we have the news of a tei‘r‘ible calamity
which happened at Constantinople on the
.‘23d of October. The Capitan P‘.ishti’s line
of battle ship blew up in the arsenal, killing
upwards of 1000 people, who were on bo;ml_
She had only arrived fi‘oin a cruise two day:

Arrival of the Ohio-
LATER. FROM IlAVA‘.\'A.
The mail steamship Ohio, Capt. Schcnck,
arrived on Saturday morning, from Ni-w
Orleans and Havana, with the mails and
passengers from California, received at the
latter place fi‘om the stcariisliip Pacirrc, from
Chagres.
The Ohio brings 350 passengers, a large
California mail, and $800,000 in gold dust,
$300,000 of which is on freight, and the re-
mainder in the hands of the passerigiiis.
The Columbus, at Panama, 7th inst. from
San Francisco, had $258,600 gold dust on
manifest, and about the same among pa$scii-
gers. Of this, Messrs. Palmer‘ to Co.’s Ex-
press had $20,000 for (liflinent individuals.
Two thousand persons had crossed the
Nicaragua route up to the 2d inst.
There were no persons scarcely at Paria-
ma, and but few straggler's on the road, who
have come by sailing vessels.
The rainy season was still at its hcight.——
The roads horrible, and seemingly impassi-
ble. The river was quite high.
The Spanish steamer Caledonia was to
sail in a few days for Spain, with Condo
Alcoy,the ex-Captain General of Cuba.
Among‘ the passengers in the Ohio is the
Madam Calderon de la Barca, Wife of the
Spanish Minister at VVasbing‘ton.
Among the many favors granted by Gen-
eral Concha, the new Captain General, is
one allowing the steamers of the United
States Mail Steamship Company to moor at
their dock, which greatly facilitates the ope-
ration of coaling, &c. I‘leretoforo this Privi-
lege has been denied them. By this ar-
rangement, the ships are subject to i‘io deten-
tion while in port, beyond the usual time oc-
cupied in transferring pcissengcrs.

Capt. Hartman was 32 years of age, born
in New York, and has left a wife and three
children, who reside in Brooklyn, to mourn-

- LoUisvrLnE, Saturday, Nov. 30.
One of the most appalling and destructive
tornadoes which has ever been ebzperienced
in the Mississippi Valley for several years,
occurred about 2 o’clock in the afternoon.
It swept over the town of Cape Giradeau,
Mu. situated on the Mississippi riverjust be-
low St Louis, and demolished some severity
or eighty buildings, many of them the finest
and principal business houses in the place.
The Baptist and Catholic Churches, and
the Catholic Convent were destroyed.
Two of the large and splendid telegraph
masts belonging to the St. Louis and New
Orleans 'l'clcgraph Companies were crackecl,
sliivei‘ed, and brought to the ground with as
much case as though they had been pipe
stems.
The steamboat Saranac, No. 2, which had
jtist rounded to at the wharf, had he‘: Uppel‘
worlzs completely blown off’, and several per-
sons on her were sevcrlv injured, and some,
it ls pt‘0bable‘\\‘ei‘e drowned.
Tito wharf boat was likewise blown from
her moor‘ings,an:l almost irr‘epai‘:ibly injured.
lti order‘ that you may judge ofthe trernon-
dous violence of the stor‘m,l will state that a
cow was unceremoniously lifted off her feet
on lc7‘ra_fi2‘-m.a., and deposited in the top of a
tree, 60 feet fr‘om the gi‘ouiid.
The loss of life by this awful visitation,
cannot as yet be ascertained, but it is certain-
ly very great, as numbers are doubtles 'oui‘ied
beneath the ruins of the fallen buildings.-
Thcre are also a great many persons who
are seriously injured, and some of them are
so crippled and maimed that they will never
recover‘ from the effects.
The town is literally torn in pieces, and
looks truly wo-bcgonc. Many oitizcns, who
were this morning to be scan with light
lrcarts and smiling faces. are to night wrap-
ped either in the arms ofdeatb, or else weep-
ing for their fricncls who have been untime-
ly swept away, '

3;?‘ VVe thou glr,t. that we had done with the
‘ Nicaragua question, but certirin strictures wliicli
iippe‘.ii‘ed in the New York Sun of Tuesday
last. upon our history of iifi'.iii‘s in Coritrzil
A.mei‘icu. coinpol us to devote it little more
space to the subject. The following is the ar-
ticle in the Sun:
The Norwalk (CL) Gazette, in discussing
the Nicaraguii question, falls into the strange
mistake of saying, that “ by a treaty between
England and i\"ic:-.ii‘agiia. the latter renoiinces
her title to San Juan.” No such thing. The
“ treaty” asour :‘otemporar‘y calls it, was a
simple arriiislicc, providing for the restoration
of certain prisoners whom the Nicaraguans
had taken from l‘.-losquito, when England
forcibly took possession of San Juan iii the
Spring of 1848, and guaranteeing a suspen-
sion of hostilities between England and
Nicaragua till such time as the question of
the right of proper‘I.y in the Mosquito territory
should be definitely settled.
Now, previously to writing out‘ detail of the
facts, we had not. exainiiieil the Aii‘iei‘ican Re-
vicw- Alter‘ the isstie of the secoiid article in
the Gazette. a frieiitl liirndctl us the Review,
and having looked it over, we thought that we
were coi‘i‘oboi‘ated in every piirticular, and
ilrei‘efoi‘e sent to the ofiice of that periodiriil
for the map of Cciitriil Arnericn, piilrlislieil last
week. Now let us see if the Review article,
which the Sun proiionncos “cleiir, able, and
satisf3ic1oi‘y.” bears us out.
After‘ a time he, the British Coninianoei‘,
Capt. Locb,dispatclicd a Mr. l\"lfll‘l.ll') to the
city of Grenada, under a flag of truce, with
communications fi‘om the Nicaraguan Gov-
ernment. lt is immaterial to notice in de-
tail the correspondence which passed, and
which liad an overstraincd air of civility Ol.|__
both sides. The Government of Nicaragua
declined to make any apology for its pro-
ceedings at San Juan, asserting that it had
done only wliat was right and proper‘, but
consenting‘ to (.lt:‘ll\'C1' the English pi‘isoncrs,
provided on the other band, the Niczir‘aguiiii
prisoners were rclcnscil. It granted also a
safe conduct to Capt. Loch, to enable him to
approach to some ofihc lslands in the neigh-
borhood of Grenada, for the purpose of cf
fccting some pacific ai‘rangemer‘it. This that
officer was to glad to accept, for besides the
hopelessness ofadvancrng upon the populous
side of the lake, sickness had already reduced
his effective force neai‘ly one fourth, and his
men were compelled to subsist on beef and
plantains alone. Still ilike it true Briton, be
assumed the air of ‘.1 conqueror, and so well
that he almost convinced the Nicarnguans
that he had them completely in their‘ power‘.
The upshot oftlie whole inattcr wasthc nom-
ination of S’i‘s Francisco Flastellon, Juan Josco
Zi1\'ZllZ1,i1[ll_l Jose Ma Estrada as Commission-
ers, to scttle afiiiirs with Capt. Loch. Tlicy
met at the island of Cuba, when Capt. Loch
dictated the following cxti‘aoi‘dinary articles 5
1st. That; the l\'icarrigiiiiri Government stir‘-
reiidoi‘ tbe_ persons of two ll riii:-li subjects,
Messrs. Little and G. flotlgsoii, taken prisoners
by the force ofllie State 0fNiciii‘iigu;i, on the
0th Jiirruai‘y‘ 1848, from the port of Sun Juan,
and that; tliey shall be d_elivei‘ed over‘ to Cirpt.
Gmiiville Gowei‘ Loch, in ibisisliiud of Cuba,
within twelve hours fi‘om the ratification of this
treaty.
2d. That it Mosquito flag and other‘ effects
taken on the saine day and from the same port
be restored without delay, and that ii satisfac-
tory expliiniition be given by the Niciiriiguiiri
Goverriinent for the oiitriigo that the cominiriid-
ant of her Miijesty’s forecs conceives to l.l2l\'e
been olfe-i‘c.d to the British flag, in hauling down
that of Mosquito nrirlei‘ her protection.
Ervplrtrialioit. The Nicaraguan Govern-
ment were ignorant that thc. Mosquito flag
was so connected with that of England, as
that an outrage to it should involve an insult
to that of Gi‘cat Britain. They are most anx-
ious to explain thatso fur fi‘om desiring to
excite the anger of that power‘, it is on the
contrary their earnest wish to cultivate the
most intimater‘elations with it.
3d That; the Government of the-Slate of
Niciinigua solemnly promise notto disturb the
Peaceful iiihiibitants of San Jllilllo U|1d91'-Wind‘
ing that such an act will be considered by Great.
Britiiiii as an open declnriitiori of hostilities.
4th. That the tariff establish in the port of
San .Juan, upon the occupation ofthe1stof.Ian-
uary, 1848, (which was the Britisli ta rilf.) shall

Change of School-Books.
According to a vote of a rniijoi‘ity of the schoo‘
committee at tlieirlast meeting, we are tohavo
another‘ change in our school-books——thus sub-
jecting parents, lellcllt‘-l'S:'lll1d pupils to the
trouble, and inconvenieiice of procuring new’-
books. To say iiotliing of the loss of time in
making the exchange, and the dernngenient of
classes for want of irnifoi‘n:iity in books, (for
there are many parents who will not procure-
new books for their clii|di‘eu,) it is very queg-
tionable whether the change proposed, will be
