The f'uilowitiir synopsis is taken from the New York Sun: The apology of the Ilriti?h Govern merit for the depredations of the Con federate cruisers is set forth in the treaty in these words : 4 Her Britannic Majesty has autho rized her Ilih Commissioners Tieni Totentiaries to express, in a friendly spirit, the regret felt by Her Majesty's Government for the escape, umler whatever ctrcit stances, of the Alib i ma and other vefel.s iroin British ort, and for the depredations com mitted by these vessels.". 4 KING3 AS ARBITRATORS The five arbitrators to determine what sums, if any. bhali be paid by the British Government on account of the damages caused by Confederate cruis ers re. tv be appointed, one by the l'rt widest ol the United Matc-, one by the Queen of Kuglund, one by the King of Italy or the 'resident vt' Switzer land, and one by the Kmp rror of Ura zl ; and in case either of these person ages shall fail to imike such oppotnt tuent, the King of Sweden and Nor way is to be requested to make them. The arbitrators are to tmct at Geneva, in Switzerland. Each of the two Gov ernments is to appoint an agent to re present it before the tribunal. The case and the ev idence on each side arc to be presented in writing or printing within two months after the ratification of the treaty. The counter cases and evidence in support of the fame are to be pre sented within four months after the delivery of the original cases. Within two mouths after the delivery of the counter cases the agent of each side is to present his argument in writing or printing. WHAT IS GENUINE NEUTRALITY. The'tribunal is to be governed by three rules -The British Government, although not admittii g these rules as principle, of international law in force at. the time the claims arose, but simply as rules upon which it is willing that the claims should be settled. These rules are as follows : A neutral Government is bound : First To use due diligence to prevent the fitting out, arming, or equipping within its jurisdiction, of any vessel which it has reasonable ground to be lieve is intended to cruise or to carry on war against a power with which it is at peace, and also to use like diligence to prevent the departure from its juris diction of any vessel intended to cruise or carry on war as above, such vessels having been specially adapted, in whole or in part, within such jurisdiction, to warlike use. Second Not to permit or suffer either belligerent to make use of its ports or waters as the base of naval operations against the other, or for the purpose of renewal or augmen tation of military supplies or arms, or the recruitment of men. Thirdly To exercise due diligence in its own ports and waters, aud as to all persons within its jurisdiction, to prevent any violation of the foregoing obligations and duties. SPEEDY PAYMENT TO BE MADE; The decision of the tribunal is to be final. If it should find that Great Bri tain has failed to fulfil any duty or duties, it may, if it thinks proper, award a sum in cross to be paid by Great Britain to the United States for nil the claims referred to it, and in such event the money shall be paid in coin at Washington within twelve mouths after the award. Each Government is to pay its own agent, counsel and arbi trator, and also the expense of prepar ing and submitting the subjects to the tribunal. All other expenses connected with the arbitration are to be borne by the two Governments equally. In case the tribuual finds that Great Britain has failed to fulfil auy duty or duties, aud does not award a sum in gross, a Board of Assessors is to bo ap pointed to determine what claims are valid, antJ what amount shall be paid by Great Britain to the United States. One-member, of this Board is to be appointed by the President, one mem ber by the Queen of England, one member by--too Italian Minister at Washington. This Board is to sit in Washington, New York or Boston. Its decision is to be final, and its award to be paid in coin at Washington within twelvemonths after the report is deliv ered. The expenses of the Board of Assessors are to be borne equally by the two Governments. ANOTHElt COMMISSION. A Commissiou of three members is to be appointed to settle the claims of corporations, compauies or private citi zens of the United States againsf the British Government,, arising out of acts committed against persons or property, between April 1G, 18 1, and April 1), 1805, exclusive of the acts of Confed erate cruisers. The same Commission is also to settle the claims of British subjects' against the Government of tike United States arising during the same period. No limitation agaiust claims for slaves lost is set forth in the treaty. One of these Commissioners is to be appointed by the President, one by the Queen of England, and a third by the President and Queen conjointly , and in case the third Commissioner cannot be screed epAr, he is to be appointed by the Spani.-h Minister at Washington. Hi is. Commission is to meet at Wash ington. Its awards are to be final, and are to be paid within twelve months from the date. Each Government is to pay its own Commis.-incr, agent, or counsel; the oilier expenses to be borne by the two Governments equally; but the hole expenses are to be de ducted from the awards of the Com- uii-si'i:ers, provided -that such deduc tions shall not exceed 5 per cent, on the sums awarded. SETTLING THE FISHERY TUSS. The fisheries of the British Pro vinces, except those for salmon, shad, and all other fish in rivers or the mouth of rivers, are to be open to American fishermen; and the fisheries of -the United States north of the 30th parallel of north latitude, are open to the Canadian fishermen, with tne same exception. The right to take shell fish is also excepted on both sides. A Com mission of three members, sitting at Washington, is to determine whether the United States ought to pay any thing for the opening of the provincial fisheries, and it so, how much. Oue Commissioner is to be appointed by the President, one by the Queen, and the third by the President and Queen con jointly; and if they cannot agree, by the Austrian Minister at London. The award of this Commission is to bo paid within twelve months after it is made ; each Government to pay its own Com missioner and agent or counsel, and the two Governments to share equally all other expenses. OPENING THE RIVERS. The navigation of the St Lawrence, Yukon, Porcupine and Stikinc rivers is to be free to the citizens of both coun tiies under the ordinary regulations of each. The British Government en gages to urge the Government of Can ada to grant the use of the Wclland, St. Lawrence, and other Canadian ranals to American citizens on terms of equality with the inhabitants of the Canadian Dominion ; and the Govern ment of the United Stateg undertakes to urge upon the State Governments to secure to British subjects the use of the canals of the United States on the same terms with their own citizens. The navigation of Lake Michigan is also to be free to British subjects. The right to transport goods from ports of the United btates to any port in Bri tish North America without the pay ment of duties is guaranteed to British subjects, and American citizens may in like manner import goods through British North America, The British Government also agrees to urge upon the Parliament of Canada and the Legislature of New Brunswick to allow all lumber or timber cut in Maine to pass down the river St. John and its tributaries free of duty. c h Thequestion of the ownership of the island of San Juan is to be referred to the Emperor of Germany, whoso award is to bo final. ' The ratifications of this treaty are,, to be exchanged either at Washington or London within six months from its date, or earlier if pos sible. It is dated at Washington on the 8th lost. NOW AND Til UN. From the Journal of Education. There is great contrast between "Now and Then" in educational affairs. There never was a time when education was so universally diffused as at present True, good authors have lived in nearly all ages. W can peer back through remote ages of antiquity, and see some ancient authors whose works are even now used as text books in the colleges. There was a time when the goddess of learning began to inspire men with a desire to extend their knowledge, and accordingly the arts and sciences were carried to a great degree of perfection. But true light had not yet dawned upon the world; wars raged ; the fountains of knowledge were' sealed up in the great Alexaudrian library, which was at last burned, and the investigation of ages were cast into oblivion ; the dark agca euvelopcd the world; ignorance and superstition reigned supreme ; the most atrocious crimes were committed ; the mighty reigned and the weak per ished ; men in power gratified their desires and revelled in debauchery, while their subjects were grovelling under the galling yoke of bondage ; prisoners of war were made slaves or sacrificed to stocks aud stones ; the law was might over right. Thus ages passed. There were but few meu of learning left to keep alive the last ray of light that had once began to flood the world. But after that great invention, printing, which has done more to enlighten the world than any other one of the many thou sands, and for which the time-honored inventor was imprisoned, because it was thought he was in alliance with the evil spirit, education was no longer confined to the favored few; but books and pa pers were gradually circulated ; people who were before considered inferior, began to read for themselves and to become enlightened. Empires crum bled, tyrants fell ; kings became beg gar, and beggars reigned. The spirit of liberty explained itself in the breast of dowu trodden humanity; the yoke t f bondage in some countries became lighter, and in other countries it was shaken off ; and there wm in the new world a mighty nation .springing into being, which became a model for those of the old. Nations and States began to legislate for the advancement of edu cation, till it can now be had by all; and now, they who have a good know Icdgc of the branches taught in our com moo schools, not many centuries ago would have been considered by the multitude as educated men. As the Persians could boast of some authors and few very imrei feet astronomers, wc of these latter days can boast of Byron, I'rescott, McCaulay, Vasnington Irv ing, Arthur, Oliver Wendell Holme., and hundreds of evther great authors whose magic pens have held the world entranced by their mystic art; while the illustrious narnqs of Copernicus, Galileo, Kepler, Newton, La Place, Ilcrschel, and a great many other astro nomers are placed on the records of undoing fame, alongside of which will be placed the no less brilliant names of Alex Von Humbolde, Kirk wood and Le Verrier, whose investigations into the secret workings of the Almighty hand have signalized their names for ever. Groat discoveries in Astronomy are daily being made, and the truth of them is believed by all. Our " Now' in this respect corresponds to our " Then," when it was believed by all that this world was an extended plane, and the God of the sun rode in his chariot acrors the skies from cast to west in the day, and back again at nio;ht when none could see. But still later like our Then," when by the Ptolemaic theory it was helieved by all that this earth was the grand centre ot the uni verse, and the sun, planets and stars, performed their daily revolutions around it. But unlike the time when Galileo was put into prison for assert- J ing that it was this world that revolved, and who, when released, said, "I be-j lieve it, I believe it." This is a pro gressive age the age of inventions, the age -of arts and sciences, the age of proiounct knowledge Knowledge is now sought after upon true principles, and correct information is obtained. Education is broadcast. Graded schools, seminaries aud colleges are, as if by enchantment, springing up all over the land. ? If progress in the arts, science and inventions advance - like it has for the last fifty years, there is no knowing what the next half century will bring forth.' .... . . .

In nearly all branches the profits have been satis factory. The value of the raw materi als, added to the wages, makes the sum of 52,772,055, to which may be added 10 per cent, for incidental expenses, making 58,052.231, which, subtracted from the value of the annual produc tion, leaves 20,187,702, which is about 37 per cent, on the capital em ployed. Iron Age. ,.. A Poor Currency. A correspondent of a New York pa per, who has recently visited Hay tt, writes as follows : As I stepped ashore at Port-feu Prince I met an orange girl, and asked her the price of fruit per dozen. She replied "forty dollars." I made up my tnind thatunfortunate woman has escaped from a lunatic asylum, and I noticed a wild look about her eyes as I passed on, wHi outsayinganything. But when a misera ble.beggarly nativo took a mo-sage across the street for me, aud deraiuded only 400, I thought it' time to remonstrate, and I refused to give the audacious swindler, anything expressing my oipin on of him iu English, which ho didu't understand. But when I saw a straw hat marked 2,000, a light begnn to dawn-upon me. I held up a 5 gold piece and the shopkeeper took it, gave me the hat, and then shoveled out a bushel of dirty . little bits of paper, which he said was my "change." Then it was explained to me that the curren cy of the country is a paper money so depreciated that 500 or G00 gourdes, or dollars, of it aro equal only to 1 in hard monv. The Island was flooded with it, and it has been so nearly worthless, at one time, that 10,000 in nnnar vena rrt nitrnf rnr. fn SI in irold. After I had stuffed all my pockets aud my hat with the change, I immediately went back and paid tho ill-used mcs senser his 400. with a few hundred thrown in, for having called him names in a language which be uidn t under stand.
