But it scene that, if the slave trade is still stealthily and secretly prosecuted in that Spanieh dependency, the evil receives aid and support from some of the strongest anti-slavery States in this Union, and probably from some anti-slavery ship- beilders, who are the loudest in denunciation of slavery of all kinds.

The Spanish colony of Cuba will not, must not, monopolize all the indignation and execration of the civilized world, but we claim for certain benevolent compatriots of the shipbuilding districts of New York and New Eng- land a due share of that execration and condemna- tion. This principle of conduct in our anti-slavery ship-building patriots, they inherit from some of their ancestors—the same who originally peopled the unfortunate Southern States with the progeni- tore of the existing slaves, whom the people of those States are now obliged to support, and for which the men of the present generation denounce and de- test that part of the Union as only fit for the exceration and damnation of the deepest and reddest ind. : athe other inte!ligenee from Cuba is equally inte- Though relieved from all further appre- hensions that might arise from ridiculous expeditions originating in this country, there still exists in that discontented land a condition of society and a state of things which neither the generosity of the Queen's government at home, to the recent unfortunate and lawless filibusieros, nor the magnimity, good sense, and discretion of Gen. Concha, the present Ca General, will be able, we r, to remove, or super- sede by a better or more healthy condition of affairs.

The evils and the discontents which during the last thirty years fomented the late attempt at revolution in Canada, were of precisely the same character as those which, during the same time, grew up in “Juba, till they exploded in the recent abortive attempts under the Lopez expedi- tio Colonial government removed to a long dis- tance, narrows the circle of its action, and gradually becomes concentrated in a few individuals, con- nected by fumily or other ties. The local govern- anada had degenerated into the farnous “Family Compact,” which gradually caused the colony to burst out into the revolation of 1837. Since that period, the British government, assisted by the good sense of the colonists themselves, has established a system of government for Canada which allows the gus of politicians and the fumes of discon- teni to evaporate gradually and easily through their annual elections aud parliamentary discussions, 2s wellas throngh the free press of the provinees.

But, in ene thing he has hithorto been at fuult—he did not appear to take into consid on the vascillating, or vathor cowardly, character of the people whona he ed, and to this may be ascribed his previous want ef success. He has now a large number of Ameri- ean volunteers under his command, many of whom are inured toa military life, having fought in the Texan and Mexican ware, and with these his chances ef suceese are good. Exciting news may now. be expected by every arrival from that quarter.

Revolutions in the South Ameri- @an republics cannot very well be avoided; these monthly boweversements seem to be 2 sort of pastime te the people, and we suppose they will continue to get them up when any little extra excitement is meeded. But we object to their carrying on their pleasure at our cost. They can upset their own gevernment, at the ir own expense, as often as they Bike, but they must be taught to observe some de- eency towards other nations. Our governmeut must imerease the number of armed steamships in the Pa- ific, to look after our interests in that quarter. Our epecial correspondent at Washington writes that erpatches have been recived at the State depart- | ated in open m # and advocated in tho prose, ament, which render it improbable that our amicable | und in their leg assemblies, without any yelations with France will at all be interrupted oruny discontent, or any weakness being felt the government of Louis Napoleon, until after and the extension of the electoral franchise Ihe was positive that the proceedings of the Prince President met with the approval of the French people. Mr. Rives merely wished to be on the safe aide, and in so doing, won the respect, rather than the disapprobation of Louis. After the minister had @uly presented himself, and had heon recognized as the representative of this government. it was pr posterous to suppose that there would he any ex- Pression of dissatisfaction—although many of the immite journals in this country strived hard to build the little molebill into a voleanic mountain. We learn that the Grand Jury of the District of Columbia have been investigating more ch against Jonas P. Levy, who was im this eity about the first of February, for being in secret eorrespondence with the Mexican government, with the view of defeating the Tehuantepec treaty. There is considerable mystery connected with this affair. How Levy—a man who cannot write dozen ince smoothly—came to be suspected, and that, too, by the great Daniel Webster, of a conspiracy to thwart the operations of the government by letter writing, is a sort of Japanese puzzle ;—it has no Deginning—no end—no corner thet you can fecl— mo crevice to peep into,—there is no unravelling or understanding it at all. How came this peculiarly worded letter of Levy to the Mexican government in possession of Mr. Webster? Who sent it to the Becretary, and for what purpose was it sent? It really looks as though this was a scheme of some eunning trickster, more shrewd than Levy, to place public attention on a false track, in order that the real culprit may exenpe amid the general excite- ment. The trial, if it ever takes place, may pos- aibly clear off the smoke. Late advices from Santa Fe, represent the country as being in a great state of oxcitement, in conse- quence of the murderous depredatious of the Indians. Even the government troops, who are too few in num- her to defend themselves, let alone protecting the Rottlers, are killed by the Apaches, whenever an op- portunity ocowrs. Why is not some arrangomont wpeedily wade hy which the lives of the torritorial settlers can be protected? Indian raurdere end other xevolting misdemeanors of all kinds have of lute be- ome 0 frequent that it is essential to have a large military force in New Mexico, otherwise tho territory will soon have to be abandoned aliogether by the whites.

Now, if we ty and look at it the conduct of its to the present condition of cial and political institutio government, and treat with candor and forbearance all the members of its combined social and pol system, every one must admit that it is far behind the British colony of Canada—in the tranquillity of its present condition or the pros- peets of a future of peace, industry and growth. General Concha, the present dble and excellent Captain General of Cuba, is undoubtedly ong of the most enlightened and liberal minded men sent to that island for the last thirty years; but we have the best reasons for believing that the very nature and condition of things which necessarily grow upin a distant and dependent colony, are too radical and too deeply rooted to be modified or amended by all the right minded or liberal principles that can be brought to bear upon them. In the social and political condition of Cuba there seems to be nothing of that character of adap- tation to the spirit of the times which existed in the British colony of Canada, after the failure of their recent attempt at revolution. The government of the United States may maintain the fuith of treatios, and act up to the highest principles of honor in relation to Spain and Cuba, but there exists on this continent, originating in this republic and its mighty influences, a spirit of absorption and movement—moral, social, and political—which no government can repress, no treaty can annul, and no armed foree can prevent from growing, ag time and ideas grow on this side of the Atlantic. The moet liberal colonial policy in Cuba, wi present forta of government—whieh excludes both parliamen- tary rights and popular discussion—will always b inefficient when ide with the immense nt rights are enjoyod as we have them in the United States, in Mexico, in the West Indies, and in ( beaut that ofa magazine full of cone l by voleani ited Stat ment in Cuba, nor arges community wh try, nora combination of all the p prevent, sooner or later of this cou from such a contradictory position Cuba presente in the midet of surrow munities, in all directions will be no more attempts at re nd ona We may re fillibusterin, ons it, but there will be some method of no more It was re quiet transition or eudden expk which tie | Very LATE Prom Coxcrnss.—We have just re- And again—we have understood, from variva eoived from Washington the last year’s annual me urees—from Spain, from Cuba, and other quarter wage of the President, and secomy ng document that this precarious condition of the island of Cuba ha fresh from the office of the Public Printor not Congrose establish a national printi have all their documents laid upon moxt day after they are submitted to either house!

We have every reason to believe that the landed proprietors of Cuba would willingly mortgage that beautiful island for even a hundred millions of dol- lars, if, under the guaranty of the United States government, @ transfer could be made for that price from Spain to this country, so that it might become apart of this republic, and be entitled to all its freedom of commerceg politics, religion, and social rights and privileges. This new plan of action su- pereedes all vilent expedients for the fature. It will be prosecuted, we haye reason to believe, with the consent of some of the leading statesmen of Spain, and a great many of the landed proprictors of Cxba, and with the concurrence of many of the lead- ing politicians and statesmen of the United States. How eoog such a negotiation may be completed will, of one haa on contingencies in publio affairs, both in this country and in Barope; but it is well known that during the Presidency of Mr. Polk, Mr. Saunders, of North Carolina—then the American Ambassador in Spain—was authorized by Mr. Bu- chanan, the then Secretary of State, to make an inquiry on this important subject at the proper quarter—of the Spanish Ministry. And we are even informed that but for the bungling shape in which that inquiry was made, and tho proposition for pur- chase was preseuted, it was very likely that the Spanish Minister of that day would have commenced, under certain conditions, a negotiation haying for its purpose the completion of the bargain and the final transfer of the island to the United States. At first, of course, ther) y ould be great repugnance in the Spanish mind to any such transaction. The remaining jewel in the brilliant crown of Spain could not be parted with without some sinceye regret. The old Castilian honor and national pride would be touched in its most sensitive point. But destiny is destiny—fate is fate—and nothing can prevent, ooner or later, all the dependencies of European governments on this continent, from filling into the arms of the great Republic, as naturally as a child in pain falls into the arms of a benignant and kind mother. IfMr. Buchanan, of Pennsylvania, should be the next candidate for the Presidency, and be elected also, we have very little doubt but that the project for the purchase and annexation of Cuba, with the consent of Spain, England, an! France, begun by him during the Presidency of Mr. Polk, will be re- vived again, and prosecuted with more tact and dis- eretion than it was by the bungling minister who ruined it in its inception eight years ago. In the meantime, we shall hear no more of /illi- bustero expeditions; and if rumors to that effect: come to us from Cuba, or go from us to Havana, every mind may rest satisfied that they ure pure inventions, and entitled to no eredit. The discontents in the present social and political condition of Cuba, in spite of the en- lightened liberality of its Captain-General, will in- erease, and the danger will be magnified. Thenative inhabitants of that island do not possess the calm temperament which marks the Canadians. They do not scem to be capable of appreciating the privileges and rights which the British government conferred on Canadian colonists after they hed gone through their abortive revolution. No gradual amelioration of institutions would seem to suit the temperament of Cuba—nothing can suit the Creole temperament but a sudden and violent change from the strictness of military rule to the embraces of unqualified free- dom, such as will take place, one of these days, by its open and aboveboard purchase and sudden trans- fer from Spain to the United States. Time tries all things. Ancupishop Hvaues and wis Lecture To- niGnt.—This evening, at Metropolitan Hall, Arch- bishop Hughes delivers his lecture, the subject of which is to show how it came to pass that religious iberty was established in these United States. The object is to aid the Sisters of Mercy in their benevo- ent labors. We doubt not there will be a house much greater than the late Webster meeting, and he discourse of the Archbishop will be tenfold More interesting than all the clap-trap of all the. peeches of the Webster humbug put together. There is not much humbug about our Archbishop, when he is in earnest. On this occasion we expect him to make clean work of his subject. As we have heretofore stated, according to our historical read- ings and information, the Catholic fathers of Mary- land deserve no thanks for their religious toleration, it being the result of necessity and the stipulations of their charter. The old round headed Puritans of New England are certainly entitled to no thanks for their system of religious liberty; but the sturdy old Dutch herring trading Knickerbockers of New York are deserving of all praise. They permitted the ut- most freedom in religious matters, being too much oecupid in trade to be troubled about spiritual affairs. AJ] doubts upon the subject we shall expect Archbishop Hughes to clear up. We are willing that he should monopolize all the piety for the church; but we do hope that his scheme of making the Archbishop the holder, by right of succession, of all its property within his diocess, will be defeat- ed by the Legislature. The project savors too much of filthy Iuere, and looks too much like a monopoly of the goodsand chattels of the church, to square with the doctrines of Christ and the twelve apostles. Upon this point we shall expect to be enlightened to-night; and would also like to be jnformed of the Archbishop's opinion of the Maine Liquor law.

Grant, Mayor of the Great Salt Lake City—all the way from the Salt Lake, a very interesting and extra- ordinary series of letters, in reply to the recent re- port made te the government at Washington by the Judges who recently ran away, or returned, from that territory, in consequence of numerous physical, financial, and moral cauges, mentioned in their re- | port. We shall give the firet epistle to-morrow. These letters will contain a full developement of the Mormon doctrines, with « defence of its pocutiari- ties and practices, ag understood by the Mormons themeelvee. The conduct of the recent Judges and officers who returned to Washington, is doseribed in glowing and picturesque languago, such as Moses and the prophets used when remonetrating with the backsliders and stubborn politicians of ancient Is- roel. We understand, further, that the Mormons deny the stories told in the Judges’ report, in relation to polygamy, and denounce these staiements as false and exaggerated. It ie true, as we understand the wattor, that the Mormons, by the new revela- tion from Heaven, claim to be placed on the same ancient footing that Abrcham and the yatriarchs occupied in their day. Polygamy is admitted and authorized by their creed; but the extent of the practice is restricted explicitly to weven wives—and no more. The story that Governor Young has thirty or forty wives is denounced ag ut- torly untrue and false. Ae far as we can underetand the notions of the Mormons on marriage, they would seem to bear, practically and socially, a great resem- blance to the principles of Fourier and his new social echeme, which have been established, under the name of ** phalanxes,” in many of the Atlantic States, and which haye been advocated and supported by various philosophers, literary men, poets, editors, and other classes in this neighborhood, for ten years past. The Mormon creed authorizes a wan to take to himeclf, ‘‘at one fell swoop,” seven wives at most—the Fourier faith permits a believer to have a new wife—but only one at a time—every six months or a year, according to the varioug causes of necvs- rity or merey—temper or taste, The Mormon question—and probably the Fourier faith, aleo—must soon occupy the attention, not only of Congrees, but of the whole people and legislatures of the Union. If these new doctrines on morals and marriage, on politics and polygamy, which those saints and philosophers introduce, are to form the “newera” so constantly predicted by the Tribune andits coterie, it is time for all the rest of the commu- nity to look over their old notions of Christiauity and morals, and to ascertain what, in tho name of heaven, the world is coming to, and where we are to land at last, cither in this world or the next. ‘Waxtrp to Pracuase.—The best method of using the Janguage and style of gentlemen when writing of naval oficers, Heretofore, the advertiser bas acted as a flunkey toa foreign orator, and called naval gentlemen “ bratal bluckguards.”?

Sunvay, March 7—6 P.M. At the cloee, yesterday, the stock market waa not so Ducyant, The brokers do not exhibit «o much spirit as in the carly pert of the week, and if they lose confidence, prices must rapidly give way. Epeculation has not at any time this scatcn been very widespread, and all the forts made to attract outeide operators have failed. I¢ is the moet difficult thing in the world to induce those whose minds cre cccupicd with other matters, to involve themeelves in there fancy stocks. The fuct is, so much has been taid abcut these eceuritiee—they bave been on the market ro long, and so much of the movements of financiers conneeted with them has been exposed—that the public generally have become thoroughly disgusted with them, and have no desire to touch them. Some of the fancies now on the liet have been on the market fif- teen and twenty years, and are no better at this moment than they were twenty yearsago, In the meantime, they have experienced all sorts of fluctuations, Fortunes have been lort and won, and loet again. and we do not fee the most remote probability cf even the most prominent of there fancies ever being really worth what they are now eclling at, ‘This, however, is not an objection in Wail rtreet, It matters very little what a stock fs worth among speculators, The longs and (he shorts are the great regulators, and itisonly neceecary to get up, from time to time, rome plausible etatement showing some prox- pective improvement in tome particular stock, to set the mechinery of speeulation in operation, Al the fancies, in time, bave their turn, At present Erie and Reading Railroad etocks are in the hands of speculators, They have arranged all the wires, but for some reason they do not work well, In the first place, they are heavy stocks bo move, It requires an immenre capital to carry the corner even toa moderate extent, ‘There is nothing in the posi- tion and prospects of either company calculated to give holders much confidence in the future value of the se- curities ag investments, and ft is therefore hard up-bill work to induce outside capitalists to touch them. The arninge of the Erie Railroad thus fur, this year, do not look much like the aggregate eetimated, and the expendi- tures on construction account are enormous. It has been stated, by parties who have been for some time past in- timatcly acquainted with the operations on the line, that the net receipts from passengers, for several monthe, would npt pay the damages arising from collisions and other accidents, There {s no doubt but that the Erie is one of the most expensively managed railroads in the country, notwithstanding the report of the company to the contrary; and every day strengthens us in the opinion we have #0 frequently expressed, that not one of the dividends paid the stockholders has been earned, This iv a well known fact, and none know it better than those connceted with the management, The last semi-annual dividend paid was four per cent, which was represented to have been earnod, with a surplus of between one and two hundred thousand dollars, which was reserved for payment of undry items in construction aceount, ‘There was un chject in paying a larger semi-annual dividend the first tix months after the road had been opened through to Lake Erie, than before. It was done for the purpose of showing that the road had been more productive than anticipated, so as to favorably affect the market value of the stock. At that time ft was particularly important that eomething should be done to sustain priecs; and nothing was better calculated to do so, than an increase in the dividend. It will prove fatal. The effect ulti- mately must be most disastrous. We know that some of the directors were in favor of declaring a stock dividend and of keeping what little money had actually been carned: to relieve the company from the pressing demands upon it. Time will show how far they were right. The Erie Railroad is a great work. It is worth to the city of New York every dollar it has cost; and if in years hence, the stockholders should not get a cent in the shape of divi- dends, and the stocks should depreciate fifty per cent, the road will he operated full as advantageously for the most prominent interests of this city as at present, The work is constructed, and somebody must keep it in active operation. Properly managed, it might have been made profitable from the commencement; with even moderate economy, it could have been built much better than it has been, at two-thirds the present cost, It is with the extravagance of expenditure in construction, with the immense sacrifices made in the negotiations of its seeuri- ties. with the measures adopted to inflate and depress from time to time the market value of its stock and bonds, and with the means taken to cover up and disguise the bankruptcy of the concern, that we complain. It mat- ters little with us how much the regular speculators of ‘Wall street flecee each other. They operate with their eyes open; for there is not one of them that for a moment really believes the Erie Railroad Company ever earned a dividend declared; but it is of the efforts made to draw in new buyers to take the atock out of the street—out of the hands of those who, having no confidence in it, are desi- rous of realizing as much aa possille—that we complain, Fortunately for holders of Erie stock generally, there is a arge quantity owned im Wall street, and it is for the in- terest of certain parties to sustain it. But for this. the tock would be down far below Harlem or Hudson River. But for the influence of Wall street upon the market va- lve of the stock, Exie would now be below sixty per cent. Stockholders in banking, {naurance, railroads, and all other incorporated companies, are frequently deceived by the declaration of dividends. We have known companies to pay a dividend one day and burst up the next, Divi- dends are often made to blind the public, and it ae often proves unsuccessful. We are informed that the late divi- end of 33, per cent., declared by the Reading Railroad Company, was the subject of earnest und violent discus- sion in the Board of Directors. Two of the directors, as weare credibly informed, did actually notify the others that if this dividend was made, they would withdraw from the administration of the affairs of the compauy. They bitterly denounced it; but other Influences were brought to bear upon them, and, although they wore averse to the dividend, it still was declared, and they re- tained their seate. The influence we speak of was brought to bear upon these refractory directors, from Massachu- setts, where certain large stockholders agreed to wait the convenience of the company to pay the dividend. The company, we are told, borrowed money at the rate of 18 percent per annum, to complete the arrangements for the payment of such portion of the dividend as could not be portponed. That no dividend was earned was cur- rently believed in the three markets where the Reading shares are sold, and it was openly stated that the position of certain parties in the stock would determine whether a dividend would be declared or not, We have reason to believe that if a committee of independent stockholders were appointed to investigate the condition of the Read- ing company, a state of affairs would be revealed which would surprise and astonish the community. The affairs of the company are now conducted in so complicated a manner, that ordinary accountants are unwble to unrayel their statemente, The rhipments of cotton goods from the port of Boston to foreign ports, during the months of January and Feb- ruary, in cach of the past two years, were a8 annexed:— Exrontation or Corton Goons rrom Boston.
