Our Washington Correspendence. Wasuinoron, Nov. 30, 1852. ‘The Policy of the Government Relative to Cuba. It is considered here that the letter of Lieutenant Davenport to his censignees was, in itself, ill-timed, as the government of Cuba is known to regard that house (Drako & Co) with special kindness. Its | business is of colossal extent—greater, perhaps, then any two housos in the United States combined —and which would be materially disturbed, if not annihilated, by a revolution. Certainly, the an- | fexation of the island to the United States would | open the door te a competition, both in regard to onterprise and capital, that would deprive many of tho large commercial ostablishments at Havana of present and peculiar advantages. A momont’s ro- flection should have convinced Captain Davenport, that whatever he wrote to Drake & Co. would be made known to the government of the island, and that, if it could lash iteelf into such a fury at the real or imputed conduct, at homo, ofa purser of one of the steamers, it would the mo ¢ greedily seize a@ pretext for excluding the ship on the semi offic defiance of the commander. It is the policy of the administration—and perhaps the wisest one—to give no actual cause of complaint, in the present sition of affairs, to Spain, and rather to bravo the Ridignation of the /illibusteros, Lone Stars, and all other classes, who would make war at once upon her Catholic Mojesty, than embarrass the incoming ad- ministration with a European quarrel, so long as they can do so without compromitting the national honor. Meanwhile, the Creoles believe that the United States are acting as the friends and allies of cous, in securing to her the possession of the |, Whilat the ‘‘proud Castilian” flatters himself that the ‘‘grim visaged front” assumed by the Cap- tain-General has frightened the ‘imbecile gevera- ment,” (vge Diario de la Marina, on fifty occasions,) of the Yankecs into quiet sub- mission. But, amidst all this. the ‘‘mamifost desti- ny” of that garden of the New World is being worked out. I am no /illibustero, a8 you know; neither have I any belief in the practicability of | concentrating a force, with proper arms and pro- visions, that oan resist the troops of Spain—I mean an illegal force; and, more cepecially, in these tim ef steam and lightning, when the movements of the suspected can 80 rapidly communicated from int to point.

Busides him, are some forty or fifty othore, of both sections of the party, applicants for that office and Inspector of the ort. In anticipation of the meeting of the Legislature, aspirants for places within the disposal of that body are numerous and active. Among the ap- plicants for Clerk here is John S Nafew, forem: of Van Benthuysen’s printing office. Mr Nafew is | an incorrigible “‘ hard shell huaker,” @ first rate fellow, and fit for the office, and we hope he’ll got it. Besides Mr Nafew, wo learn that a Mr. Elwood, of Oneida, and Mr Sicklos, of Orleans, are applicants for the clerkship—both barnburnors.

The sales wore principally for cash Large lots of Erie Kailroa! were offered, and freely taken. Parker Vein Coal Company 13 moving up rapidly, This company has made most fa- vorable arrangements for the transportation of its coal to market. Its freights will be at least fifty cents per ton lees than eny other company. so that on the freight ing of ooal alone, say one hundred and twenty thousand tons per annum, it could pay six per cent on its capital. At the first board Morris Canal advanced 4 per o: Micaragus, 3; Cumberland Coal Company, \; Parker Coal Company, 1; Rochester and Syracuse Railroad, '<; Pennsylvania Coal Company, }4. Harlem Railroad de- clined 34 per cent; Obio Life and Trust, 3s. The move- ment is decidedly upward. It may meet with checks, ‘and reactions, but there isa speculative feeling in the street strong enough to put prices considerably above those now ruling. If this feeling should extend beyond the limits of the Exchange, we may look for greater ac- tivity in the fancies, and much higher prices. Money is so cheap and abundant, and the prospect of its being even more 60, and the value still more reduced, have given activity to the elements of” speculation, and we are likely to have pretty lively times in Wall street. Within s few days there has been a very great and sudden rise in the stock of the Morris Canal Company, and the cause of this large and unexpected rise is the subjéct of much inquiry. We are informed that it is in consequence of certain verbal agreements, recently made by the President of the Morris Canal Company with the managers of the Lehigh Canal, which will secure to the Morris Canal, the next year, the business of one hundred boats more than operated on it this year; which arrange- mont, it is expected, will make the reovipte of the next year exceed tho receipts of this year at least $50,000. Now, we must frankly confess that we oannot exactly eco how this srrangement, and the benetit to be derived from it, onm materially increase the intrinsic value of the old stock of this company. The receipts of the canal this year will amount to $148 600 With which is to be paid the current ox- penses...

Here is the British opinion of the matter — (From the ergs Dest, Ave. 21, 1861.] ‘The arrangement of agreed to yeater- dey at a mecting of bondholders, held at the London ‘Tavera, isam affair of deep uational interest, invoiving. as it does—even assuming that the ‘ions of it be for once faithfully observed Ted Mi enormous pational sacrifice.

In analysing this document, it is necessary to com- menoe with the first charge, that of receiving liberal com- peneation far notices of this valuable stock. There are many people in th’s world who believe that nothing can sppear in the columns of any paper, in favor of or agalast anything, without consideration, and they look upon everything, from an editorial down to an advertisement, in this light. The Cumberiand Coal Company have used seven per cent Here is our policy defined for us. It is true that Spain will incur no direct liabilities with this country which she is not prepared to mect, and the probability is that any claim upon that government of an indirect nature would receive greater consideration than the capitalists of any part of Europe have received. To leave no stone un turned in the accomplishment of the grand object a great portion of the peoplewf this country have in view, the attention of the most prominent parties in the movement has, for some time past, been turned to the acquisition of such an amount of evidenoes of Spanish indebtedness a3 will give them a claim upom our goversment for aid in en- forcing its collection. As soon as the democratic party comes into power, (March 4, 1853) negotiations with | Spain wili be carried on ina spirit entirely different from that which has characterized those of the present feeble purilianimous government. Among the first acts of Gen Pierce, this question will take precedence, and our peop! are not inactive in accumulating such material as wil exert s powerfal influence upon the result. We hare long account to settle with the Spanish government, and fortunately, in about three months we shall havo s govern- ment at home that will not be trifled with. Stock Exchange.
