The ability it @isplays. no less than the importance of its theme, will have secured for it as careful an examination as is generally bestowed on diplo~ matic papers, and most of our readers are now in position to form a calm opinion on the points to which it adverts. It is hardly necessary to observe that some twelve months ago the governments of Great Britain and France perceived that Ouba was likely to separate from Spain. and become a part of the United States. Wishing to guard against this increase of our territory, they en- tered into an agreement not to seize the island themselves. and i:vited ue to make a similar declaration. To their proposal Mr. Everett, then Secretary of State, replied in a forcible and elaborate despatch, declining to accede to the terms offered and insinuated with tolerable plainnees that the acquisition of Cuba, on hono- rable terms. would by no means be regarded as &@ misfortune by the people of this country. It is to this despatch that Lord John Russell’s letter to Mr. Crampton refers. Lerd John cannot understand why Mr. Eve- rett entered into a full and circumstantial state- ment of the reasons on which his refusal to com- ply with the demand of our allies was based. It would bave been more im accordance with the practice of European diplomatists to tender a courteous denial, without entering into expla- nations; and if Mr. Everett had been Secretary of State in Austria, he probably would have done so. It 80 happened, however, that he rep- resented the United States, and that our diplo- matic intercourse with foreign nations was not based on the same principles or guided by the same rules as that of England, France or Russia. One of the moet striking features of our system is the absence of all secrecy, intrigue. and trick- ery in our intercourse with foreign powers. We say it with regret, since Lord John Ruseell deems it a fit subject for censure; but we say it, notwithstanding—we are in the habit of playing the game of diplomacy above board. and exhib- iting boldly our hand to our adversary. We want Cuba. We must have it. Cui bono, spend breath and time in disguising the fact? What purpose could Mr. Everett have served by con- cealing truths and affecting indifference? Was it not jar more sensible, far more manly, tostate broadly the fact that we look forward to the possession of Cuba as a most desirable occur- rence, than to affect a diplomatic reserve which could deceive no one? Frankness is such a stranger to European diplomacy that Mr. Everett’s candor may well bave seemed criminal in the eyes of the British Foreign Secretary. A fair sample of the Euro- pean style of diplomatic reasoning is afforded by the following paragraphs of Lord John Ruseell’s letters. His lordship denies that we have any greater interest in Cuba than Great Britain or France, because Cuba is 110 miles distance from the nearest point of Florida, and France and England allow Holland and other foreign powers to hold forts and seaports much nearer to their shores. Lord John will permit us to observe that political arguments cannot be measured by the mile. The king- dom cf England would constitute several counties of the State of New York; and ifat any future day we happened to annex it. it might constitute three or four respectable States. Should we be justified in regarding the British Isles as we would regard Georgia or Arkansas? Twenty-one miles from Dover stands the fort of Calais. And at present the proximity does not seem to inflict injury on either. But how many centuries have been spent in fruitless wars between England and France? How many generations of either people have fallen a sacrifice to this unfortunate neighborhood? We have no intention—if we can avoid it—of decorating our annals with a Creesy. a Poitiers, an Agincourt or a Waterloo; and hence it is that we deeline to tolerate foreigners s0 close to our shores that subjects of quarel can hardly fail to arise. Lord John regards Mr. Everett’s fear that a pledge on the part of our government not to interfere with the Spanish dominion in Cuba would stimulate filibusteriam as ‘‘a melancholy avowal for the chief of a great State.” Andwe entirely concur in bis views. We regard it as very melancholy that man should be wioked. We deplore our original sin. We bewail the na‘ural perversity of our race. We are not given to indulge in open lamentations on the subject, as it would ve an unjusiifiable en- croachment on the province of the clergy. But we ave not blind to the fact. Man—especially the Anglo-Saxon race—ia deplorably perverse, and given to interfere with his neighbors. When he sees a nation trampled under foot aod cruelly outraged by ite rulers, be is prone to meddle if he can. When he feels that hu- manity would benefit by @ revolution in a neighboring State, he bas a sad habit of tendering his aid to the rebels. No one re grete the fact more than ourselves. We eaifer acute remorre for the unjustifiable interference of our Anglo-Saxon cousiue from England ia the affairs of Portugal, some fifteen or eighteen yeare ago. We constantly deplore the illegal enterprise which was organized by our British brethren in 1846. for the restoration of Flores to the throne of Ecuador, and whieb fell through because Lord Palmerston had not been proper ly couciliated, We pray daily that our sam English cousins may be forgiven for having at tacked. in the proportion of some three hundred to one. poor old Marebal Haynau, and having refnsed to apologize for the outrage afterwards ‘These matters canse us much diaqnietade of mird; and their confession may well be termed, n the language of Lord John Russell, a “ me- lancholy svowal.” Ent what can we do? Man ia not 2 machine violable t laws and i i Lord John Russell and his colleagues. Barope derived benefit from the Portuguese expedition; order and civilization would have been vanced by the success of Flores; humanity called for the punishment of Haynan. Inevery case the petty rules of the law of nations and the municipal code were made to succumb to the comprehensive dictates of a higher law— abstract right and destiny. So it was with Lopez. So it waa with Cuba. It is simply childish of Lord John Russell, or any other foreigner, to assume a position of pa- ternal superiority to us, to read usa lecture on our faults, We are as well aware of these as hie lordship, and we seem to possess over him the advantage of being able to form a more large and liberal opinion of the rules of inter- national policy. That justice we exact for our- selves we concede to others. Lord Jobn insists on a British monopoly of aggrandisement and illegality. We pass over British exactions in silence, deeming the cause of humanity fur- thered by Burmese conquests and Asiatic cam- paigns. British ministers have earned scme repute by their patriarchal admonitions to such powers as Spain, Greece, and Turkey. They will disco- ver that a similar style will not suit this meri- dian; and though Mr. Marcy may complacently hope that the Cuban negotiations will mot ter- minate in a disturbance of the peace of Europe, we cannot disguise from our readere our con- viction that mischief lurks in the proceedings ot Great Bri tain. g The Pacific Ratlroad—Estimates of Mr. Nor. Yis—Susveys—_Departure of Col. Fremont. We are indebted to Mr. W. W. Leland, of this city, for the copy of the estimates we pub- lich to-day, of Mr. Septimus Norris. of Phila- delphia, of the probable cost of building and running the Pacific Railroad. including loco- motives, cars, employes, and all the incidental contingencies of the road in full operation; together with his estimates of the clear profits over and above all regular and contingent expenses, Mr. Norris is a practical railroad builder, and his experience in the construction alon® of the great road between St. Petersburg and Moecow gives no little practical value to his calculations concerning the infinitely greater enterprise from the Mississippi to the Pacific Ocean. His estimates were made out upon the request and fer the information of certain members of the New York Atlantic and Pacific Railroad Company, recently chartered by our Legislature, from which it will appear that the company are at once proceeding to business. According to these estimates of Mr. Norris, (fixing the length of the road at two thousand miles, which is the greatest length of any cal- culation yet made from the Mississippi river,) it will cost $816 15 to run a train through, car- rying two hundred passengers, at twenty miles an hour, equivalent to the cost of the fifth part of acent per mile per passenger. Assuming. on the other hand, an average of four hundred pas- sengers per day, at sixty dollars each for the through ticket, a clear profit over the expenses ofthe year, (including the interest upon one hundred millions for the construction of the read.) is made out. of upwards of two millions of dollars. The revenues from freights, mails, gold, army and navy transportation, including men, horses, provisiens, and munitions of war, would. perhaps. more than double the passenger- receipts, including the way traffic to and from the intermediate settlements, which would in- stantly spring up along the whole route, glad- dening the waste places, and making the desert literally to blossom like the rose. Perhagg the skeptical old fogy may think the schedule of tour hundred passengers per day toohigh. We think it more likely below the mark. The arrivals at San Francisco, from the actual records, amount now toan average of very nearly one thousand per day; and these do not include the arrivals pouring in by land, over the tedious route, on mules and horses, of the South Pass and Humboldt’s river. The San Francisco arri- vals are mostly by the Panama and Nicaragua steamship lines, the cost by either line ranging from two hundred to a thousand or fifteen hun- dred dollars, ahd consuming from twenty-five to thirty days, and sometimes more. in running the gauntlet of the deadly fevers of Central Ame- rica. Now. cut down the time to San Francisco or San Diego to six days, the cost to sixty or eighty dollars, by a route over perhaps the very healthiest region on the face of the earth, and what is there to preveut the thousand per day now landing on the Pacific coast being swelled to two or even three tiousand from April to November ? Then look at the emigration to Oregon! Mr. Hugh Dickson, of Chillicothe, outward bound, writes that the emigration is heavier this year than it ever has been before. He left tive hun- dred wagons at Fort Laramie, and on an esti- mate he passed fifty wagons a day along a journey of a thousand miles, He reports « great many families on the road, and a goodly number of young ladies, He made some esti- mate of the cattle en route to California and Oregon, and is sure that three hundred thon- eand head would not be too high. Do not these endlere caravans, occupying four, five, and eometimes eix months, in getting through, sug- gest on immense transportation business to a railroad which shall carry them from the Mis- tistippi to the Pacific in six, eight, or tea days? We quite agree, there*ore, with Mr. Norris, that the Pacific Railroad will pay quite as well as apy ofthe New York roads, and a great deal better too. Yer, gentlemen, the road rust be built. Let government grant the right of way, aad ado nation of public lands or money. or both, private enterprise will do the work. The nd no necertity of boggling upon constitutional aletraetious—no need of tearing the adminis tration to pleces upon a question of strict con- struction, Let Congress do for the Pacilic road whet it bas done for Ilinois, Indiana Mis- ecouri, Alabatna, nod other States, in the baild- ing of eads, and & private company can be found to satisfy the public and the constitution So much for the road, But the route has yet o be chosen.

We wish him, and all others on the same important mission, pubtic and private, a pleasant time of it and a quick passage. The New York company have been canvassing the extreme southern roate via Texas and El Paso del Norte; bat we must wait the returns of the several explorations before a fair decision can be made. Meantime, it is quite possible that the most active, practical and enterprieing private organization will get the job. St. Louis has broken ground, New York has chartered a company, other States are moving in the matter, and, in spite of all abstractions and obstructiens, the road must and will be built. Hurry up the surveys. The vision of Columbus can only be fulfilled by the locomotive. Clear the track. ! Captain JupEINS AND THE Pactric—Tus Sup Matay—Manie Courresy.—Coneiderable talk has been made, and some reflections cast upon Captain Judkins, of the Cunard steam- ship Arabia, who did not stop in passing a ship presumed to be ashore near this port, which ship was said to have been the Pacific. It is only fair to Captain Judkins to eay that his conduct, under the circumstances, was per- fectly justifiable. His ship was under way; he saw what he supposed to be a vessel ashore; she had no signal of distress flying, and there were two other vessels in her immediate vi- cinity. The captain then kept on his way, sup- posing there was no occasion for his services. He was right. There was no vessel on shore. Two of the Coast Survey steamers were about their legitimate business. We do not see how Onptain Judkins can be justly censured in the slightest degree, and we regret that any re- flections should have been cast upon him by our merchants. They will, with their accae- tomed liberality, now give him fair play. But our attention has lately been arrested by areal instance of British meanness, the parti- Culars of which seem to be too extraordinary to be true, but we print the authentication of the affair in the Herarp of this date. It ap- pears that the officers and crew of the British ship Loharee were picked up at sea by the ship Malay, of Salem, Brown, master. The Malay. after receiving this addition to her ship’s com- pany, was short of water, and in going into Saint Helena for a supply she fell foul of the French bark Berenica, and some trifling damage to spars, &c., ensued. It is hardly to be credited that the British authorities refused to allow the Malay to depart until her master had paid seventy-five pounds sterling for the damage done to the Berenica, and to make compensa- tion in spars. It will be seen that Mr. Llew- ellen, master of the Loharee. deeply regrets this act on the part of the Saint Helena authorities, as well he may. An American captain finds a crew of Britons afloat on the great highway of nations. He goes out of his course, picks them up, and, in obedience to the Divine injunction, he feeds, clothes, and waters them. His scanty stock of the aqua is exhausted by them, he goes into a British port for a supply, and is treated in the manner above described. We ought to have some missionaries at St. He- lena—the people seem to be plunged in barbar- ism. Since the 4th of May, 1821, when Napoleon’s spirit passed away with the words of “tete d’arme” on his lips the St. Helena people seem to have been unable to get rid of that spirit whioh rendered iniserable the life of him who confided in the magnanimity of “ perfidé Albion,” and was deceived. Decidedly, St. Helena wants light. We must either send Mons. Maillefert to blew it up altogether, or something else must be done tor it, most certainly. a Eater <"Y Pourtics anv Pistots iy New Mexico.—We have received the following private proclama- tion, in the form of a public handbill, all the way from Sante Fe :-- To rar Purtic.—On this afternoon I spoke to Richard H. Weightman in reference to a conversa- tion which transpired between us the previous even- ing, in the course of which I had denied the truth of one of his assertions. I repeated to him what I had reviously said, and turned to leave the spot, expect- g,88 a matter of course, w be called to answer in the usual way. After I had tarned to leave he struck me from bebind with a stck—I being entirely ua- armed at the time, and he well knewit. A pistol was offered me by a friend, and I reused to receive or use it, although I would have been per extly jus tified in so doing. I then seat him an invitation, asking for the ordinary satisfaction of a gentleman, and he declined to receive the letter, stating at tae same time that he knew what ita contents were. I, therefore denounce Richard Hanson Weightman as a coward, liar, and blackgnard. Francis J. Tuomas, Sante Fa, N. M., July 15, 1863. Col. Weightman was the late delegate to Congress from New Mexico, and won a good military reputation as an officer of the army during the Mexican war. He is originally from Washington. Mr. Thomas we do not know, nor the subject of the quarrel between the parties ; but have no doubt that politics, connected with the election of a delegate to Congress, were at the bottom of the controversy. Mr. Thomas. in refusing to take wad use a pistol against Weightman, is deserving of especial! commenda- tion for his forbearance, gonsidering the lex talionis of Saxta Fe; aad Col. Weightman, in declining to stand up aud be shot at. proved hs discretion, We shall be happy to hear that the affair has not terminated in another bloody chapter of life in New Mexico. Politics and pistols go together on the frontiers. > Tar Cnariesron Puxss ano THe New York Henary,—The Charleston Courier takes the Henarp to task for our recent paragraph upon Charleston newrpaper enterprise.

These relics of a gallant band are surely entitled to the first claim in the distribution of government patronage; and they have a prima facie right to expect that they should be selected in pre- ference to all other political claimants, to fill such offices as they might severally be qualitied for. But we regret to find, that in, we believe, every instance, their applications for Custom- House situations have been unsaccessful, and bot a single appointment has been made from among them, although several of the m are emi- nently qualified for the positions to which they aspired, having served in like capacities under a former democratic administration. It is neither our duty nor desire, even were we possessed of the right, to attempt to inter- tere with Judge Bronson in the bestowal of his official patronage. We make no doubt but that he uses proper and wholesome discrimination | ™™°** in the selection of men to hold place under him; but we would at the same time venture to re- decreed to the eleven of the United States, who scored thirty-four runs more than their opponents in the two inninge. We gave im yeeterday’s Henarp a description of the piay on Tuesday, and we take it up where that ac- count cloced, wben Waller was bowled out by Pickering, the United States side beimg in, with four wickets to go down, and 46 +cores on their second innings. The play was reoommenced st eleven o'clock, yesterday, when Fletcher ard Oowery took the wickets. Fleteher made’a god stand and reored 19 runs, when he was bowled by Partone and esught ont hy Howard. Comery’a forte is in Dowling, but still he did well, The remainder of this invings prevents netbing of interest, unless it be to mo- tiee the eapital fieldimg and loag stopping of the Cana- diane.

Fort Hamilton, we believe, was the first to set the good exam ple of making collections among the fashionable visiters there for this praiseworthy object. and Saratoga has not been slow to imitate it. But what of Newpect? Has the Maine liquor law banished all good spirits from that resort? Are its visiters all of that Pharisaical class who thank God that they are not sinners like other men, and thereforefimagine that they are exempt frorg the natural emotions and daties ot humanity? However it may be. oue thiag certain is—that no intelligence has yet reached the public of any movement having been made in Newport similar to those at Fort Hamilton and Saratoga. Why is this? Let ihe water drinking, abolitionist, ultra-pious visiters and residents of Newport reconcile, if they ean, this absence of christian charity with their sel complacent pretensions w ¢xemplary sanctity.
