We have at length news, not of the ratfifcation of this treaty but of the passage of it, as amended by the Senate. The treaty as amended, we are told gives us a new boundary line, thant secures a route to the Pacifie and settles all difficulties with Mexico, except the private claims of Americanm citizens, which was an impor tinfiten1 in the treaty negotiated by Geni. Gadsden. Ten millions of dollars are given to Santa Anna and the grant to Sloo is reorganized. The Garay grant received no attention, arid veiny little sup port. It is generally stipposnod that the Pres i dent wvill confirm the treaty, and through the influence af Gen. Gaddleni, it is hoped Mexico or rather her dictator, will agree to it.

T1his law forbids uinder a heavy petialty, persons from allowing their hogs and (we believe) cattle to roatm at large throtugh our streets. The law we are told, has never beent repealed and it is certainly needed at this titme. The anis,ance whtich it was inter'ded to remove and which for a time it did remnove, has 'for years past, been grow ing more and more common and un bearable until now our village is hut Hitle better tha. a cattle yard. Per. sons etplain that they cannot walk our stieets in safety and till, we sup. pose ate compelled to admit that the flea tribe have increased with the num ber of hogs which infest our streets, to an unbearnble extent.

MEsSRS EITOsS: The G.tdsdcn treaty, having -undergone various alterations and amendments was ratified by the Senate on Tuesday last--the vote upon its adoption stainding 30 Ayes to 1:1 Nays. The in junction of secrecy upon the proceedings of the Senate have not yet been removed ; ant conse'quently we are unable to state the exact terms of this settlosment. Ac cording to rumor, the Slot grant is recog nised ; the 11th Article of the Hidalgo Treaty is abrogated ; a way for transpor tation of mails. passengers and freight over the Isthmus of Tehuantepec is provided for ; and fiar all these privileges the Mexi can government receives ten millions of dollars. The Preside.it will, beyond doubt approve of these conditions. Whether Santa Anna will accept or reject them is another matter.

It was immediately secured, and a par tial examination made at the time, of the boat and its contents. Last week, suspicions of a crime still more hein. ous than robbery were excited, and a further examination made of negroes on the Esperanco plantation of Mr. Lennox Surget, about fifteen miles below this city. That examination resulted in the recovery of a considera ble quantity of goods and stores belonging to said boat, and to a con. fes-ion on the part of the Negroes, of murder having been committed to obtain their possession. The examin ation took place on r huraday and Fri day last, and thirteen slaves belonging to the said plantation, were corinmitted to jail to bo tried as principals and accessories. It appears th-it there were two white men aboard the boat, and that they had represented themselves the day before as brothers, of German extrac tion, one of who": had just arrived from Germany. One of the men had lost one of his arms, and the other is descriped as "an oldish man." The confession of the negroes is. that they got aboard the boat, murdered the mien, threw their bodies overboard, robbed thie boat of its goods, and turn. ed it adrift. The name of the boat, as painted on her side, is Eliza, and from various marks on boxes and other things, the names of the men are believed to be lHetz. "J. Betz, Mem phis," was found on a number of arti. eles, and one box was marked "J. Betz, Carrollton." h is probable that the trial of the slaves, who are represented as all being valuable negroes, will take place next w'ek. Under the Louisiana code, a e believe, that trial is had before two magistrates and ten slave-holders. It is highly necessary that the relatives of these white men, if any, should be l apprized of their probable ftate, a' salso perhaps equally important, that they should be present tr seur' the punishment of the guilty, in case the supposed crime has been committed. It would be well for the river papers to give imediate notice of the afifa r, with a view to reach the eye of euch relatives or Irier as, if anl). There are various other reports afloat in connection with-the matter, but we forbear giving place- to then: The above are the ftctsso far as developed.
