There is very little political news to forward to-day. The Central American difficulty and ite probable results canno be considered as fuily discuased, for the government, and that portion of the press under its control or jniluence, carefully abstain from comment, Tho Times will not enter upon the matter, feeling the ground unsafe, but contents itself by extracting articles from the New York press on this most important subject, the least damaging to the Palmerstonian policy. The “leading journal of Eur ype’? thinks the Newburg tragedy (or fraud, as it may turn out) an event of sifficient interest in Furope to inserta ioug article in large leaded typo, while the rejection of a treaty, which might, by possibility, endanger our reiations with the United States, is permitted to pass away in silence, In London the conviction grows that eventually your government will accede to the wishes of Lord Clarendon, and re-open the whole subject with a new treaty—perhaps the wisest course to pursue. The government men in Parliament have been doing a quiet little work for some days past, which may be significant. They have been re-aseuring the alarmed by s uting that the Premier will not risk @ rupture with America, and that there ts not the slightest fear of such an occurrence. Members have been entreated to maintain silence upon the matter, to {ear not, but trust in Palmerston, wherever they ma: be,” and to reat content that he would carry them through apy trouble which may arise. This proceeding has had its effect, and where alarm existed a week back, there is now cay assurance. This is the common course of events here. Sudden and strong excitement in the political world never lasts long. {tis but fair to state, that many of the motives imputed to Palmerston, as impelling him to the couree he pursued regarding the Dallas-Clarendon treaty, are repudiated here. With the late Parliament at his back, Palmerston had not dared tw reject the amended treaty. Bven when the amendments made by the United Slates government reached Euglaud, it was confidently asserted that they would be accepted, If my memory terves me well, ] wrote as much to you, my informant at that time being a gentleman counected with the govern. ment. The new Variiament turns out more pliable than the premier had an! ed, and bis clever ruse of pro- mising reform, if the country would but wait for it, works £0 efficiently, and le made such admirable uge of in stopping opposition to government measure, upon any or every mat- ter, that my lord feel* confident that, for this session at least, he may indulge himself by currying out bis own policy. Tt was then the sudden annihilation of oj tion in the House of Commone whioh in reality led to the rejection of the Dalias-Clarencon treaty, and induced our “tarbulent and eggressive”’ Premier to refuse a dose he had already prepared himee!f for by the regulation number of wry feces and grumonnge Palmerston never did so clever a thing before in his long poehtical life ag when he astonished bis frionds and foes by decla ing that next year be would be- come areformer. Truc, it was a balf and half declara- tion, from which be can easily ; true it is that be bas artfully left it to the country to deciare for itself the reform it desires, still it {s enough, and serves mauy pur. poses Roebock, from whore independent eourse mach was hoped, quietly reposes for the sesgion. Disraci| is cajoled into a belie! that be shall bave @ Guger In the forth. coming reform pie a the representative of the landed in tererts, and is therefore a) snavity. Otber opposition is futile, becanse recesearily without organization as yet. ‘This master etroke of cunning epabks the Premier to throw back the Dallas Clarendon treaty, to dower the Princess Ly by butlering ber bread on both sides, gives her Koy al Highoess dewry and aunuity by «ay of geting rid of all contention between the advora‘es of each ” Uoular moce of portioning the “eldest daughter of Bog jand,”’ and to render the House of Commons all his owa for the time being. The proceedings im Parliament since last I wrote have Pyeng interestng. That ir, not interestiag ho dowry afair was managed ina very quiet Palmerston and Disracli, working together with mooh natura! good fecting, so'tled the matter at a privat interview. I, «aswell known that many advocated Uh payment of one sum on the marriage, and it was onder. od that the “highest personage,” for reasons I think I explained, looked favorably on such @ course. Others ad- hereo to the old eystem of giving an annuity, gThe difil- culty was met by tho I’remier in @ characteristic way, by an a:terapt to please both parties, and so we have a mixed dewry. Mr. Roebuck again made a show of resistance, but was once more brought to nequiescence in all that Pal- merston desired by a genUe reminder that “the govern- ment was Dot, by ® tacit agreement, to be oppored in Committee, however, Mr. Coningbam, member for Brigh ton—a new man, without the fear of Paimerston before bis eyer—proposed au amendment Opposition was too late, however, and it wag qu'te clear that the Premier can have bis own way in everything. Roeback bas not done well tn thne leading politicians to believe that he intesded leading the independent libera) opposition, and then aban- doning his post upon euch slight pretence, v y ertimates brought before the Ionse in Com mittee of Supply show that we stil! require a very large amount of money to kee vp our forces.

Prowm called attention to the increased: of slaves into the Island of Cuba, and to the ficient number and class of ber Majesty’s veasela now employed ou thoxw coasts for the suppression of the #lave ,. Admiral Watcott, from experience, bore testimony to the difficult and perlious nature of the service in attempt ing to put Gown the slave trade on the coast of Cuba, “ir C, Woop made s few observations in reply to Sir G, Pechell. In reply to Mr. Kinnaird, Lord Paxsemesrow stated that Lord Clarendon bad very recently renewed his represen. tations to the Spanish government upon this eubject, and no efforts sould be wanting, ae far as diplomauc action ‘went, to induce the government of Madrid to take effectual steps to pot down the trade xt Wth nit, Mr. Cumermaw asked the Scerctary of State for the Colonies whether he had received an; monication from British Guiana compiaining of the t ues which at present exist in obtaining an adejuate eup- ply of immigrant laborere for that colony, and whether it ‘was the intention of her Majesty's government to take any in reference to the rame. Ir. Lanovetene raid that during the last pine years he Velieved that no eae than 50,000 persons had einigrated to the tropical colonies of this country; and the government were always most anxioas to encourage laborers to eml- grate to those colonies, It might, perhaps, be satiefactory to state that it was bis intentios in & short time to lay upon the table of the House information as to what bad been done with regard to the subject. (Hear, hear.) {From the London Times, May 25 | Cuba is now almost the only country which regularly impor is large numbers of negroes, and toeupply the plan. tations of this island most of the slavers which now pur- sue their odjows trade are fived out, As the Americans refuse to admit the right of search, the slave trade, it ia said, ie NOW almost wholly carried on under their flag, Nay, unlesa statements pubiicly and repeatedly made be false, the greater part of the siave carrying crafts aro owned by American citizens, and fitted out at American porte; no indeed, it is declared in a resolution adepted by & meeting held at Kingston, Jamaica, in February last. The feelings of the inhabitants were. no doubt, much moved by the concition of the blacks liberated from the slayer which had been ca, te by the wa Arad; and this meeting, which passed strong " on ul slavery and tho slave trade, was the ne- be i . desire to echo Pprotectioniat opinions of '¢ bave no desire any the Jamaican politicians, yet,as we ought to give tho slave vwners, both Angle American and Spanish, their due, it may be enid that in the minds of groat numbers of them this country by ite dependence on productions, and consequently on siave labor, han tte sin there may be jlavery. it Manchester buys more than balf the cotton of the United States, and we recetve the sugar of Cupa and the coffee of Brazil, the fact is not without ite effect on thaee who are on the jookout for 5 ments inet us, and are willing enough to tarn the dis ‘cnerion from their own inhumanity to our i in to you. ¥ denouncing it, Of these agguments there are ni bers current in the siaso owning world—some plausible, rome absurd, but all to lo who want excuses for their own mis. jeed@.

Atlantic, and you demand the right of search to domon- strate your superiority over other maritime nations. lo fact, you do not wish to «ee the © trade abolished; you would rather that it rhould continue, since it gives you opportunities of interferences and sgerandizement.”” Such is pretty moch the reasoning on the matter, and it must be sllowed that, as long as we profess a desire to suppress the traffic and hesitate tn take tha beat means for doing 80, vbo accusation of insincerity, though unjust, is likely to find believers. As matters at present stand, wo blockade the African coast. which stretches for more than 2,000 miles along the Atlantic. What chance there is of supprosging the traffic by such means msy be well imagined, The sqaadron consists of vesrels beavily armed and manned, and ablo ‘hb any slaver tbat they can come pear. But the slavedealers know very wel) that in cpen sea they are not Dkely to be cavgbt. They build their vessels for speed; they have no beavy guns; and they cram their cargo of buman flesh into the smallest possible space, knowing by experience that if they can bring into port half the nua- ber of negroes they embarked they will make a hand- tome'protit. Onr only chance is te surprise them at the mouths of rivere qr in unfrequented roadeteads of the coast while they are getting their cargoes on beard; even in such cases they will kland out to sea, hoist American colors, and defy us. As for treaties with chiefa and so called “ge” in the Bight of Benin, they are, of course, ws Where Spanish Captains General and Ne citizens make fortunes by the trade, how can it be ox: ected that King Tom or King Jumbo should refrain? it seems, therefore, & most ineflective policy to attempt to step the trade at the point of embarkation. The chief suc- cess that has yet been gained bas been owing to the de- termination of the various American governments to ex- ercige strict contre) over their ports, ant the vigilance of our squad) ons has thus rerved to aid these States in their good intentions, But as long as the Cuban authorities wink atthe landing of tlaves by the thousand, while we are steaming to and froon the African coast, there is little cepect of improvement. If, then, England wishes make @ great effort to put down the trade in its last stronghold, it will do well to turn its atten- tion to the Cuban coast itself, The Spanish govern- ment is bound by treaty to do its best for the accomplish- ment of this great object. This ageistance might accor- dingly be demanded, and, in default, a general blockade of the herbors of Cuba established by an English squad- ron. Itis, we firmly believe, in vain to trust to the 3pa- nigh government for the immediate or even the eventual prohibition of the trade; but, under the preaanro of the British Minister, it might be induced to give orders for the seizure of whatever negroes were brought into port, and for the rendering of due assistance to the efforts of our commanders. ‘The tota) suppression of the elave trade seems not only posible, but easy. if such means were adopted. It is no small thing that, thoogh more than one nation is interested in the continuance of the traffic, none has had the shame- Jeseness to withbold its official condemnation On wes grounds, and with go high » moral position, it is our duty to pereevera. Nor arc the interests of our own colonies to be put out of the question. With the extinction of the trade in slaves there might be a better prospect for a free immigration. Talk to most people about bringing negroes from Africa to Ja- maica or Prinidad under some system of apprenticeship or contract and they will probably say that it is only @ slave trate ender another name, and that the adoption of sach @ ecbeme weuld destroy all the influence we have acquired, and carry the world back to the worst days of inhumanity and recklessrees; Lut once let the real slave trade have ceased Sor ever,and not only the British colonies, but even those Ame- rican States which have, to thelr credit, abolished stavery alto- gether, will find it to their advantage lo bring over Africans under some wite and humane sysiem, which will benefit the regions on both sides of the Atlantic. BTRINGENT MEASURES AGAINST CUBA. {Frei the Lordon Post, May 26 } We called the attention of our readers not long since to the increare of the siaye trade to Cuba, and we then ex- plained the causes which it a] to us had contributed to this lamentable result. It is partly to the high price of svgar and of ether trosical produce, and partly to the cul- Je connivance of the anthorities of that island, that we must ascribe the increase in question The increased and increasing demand for sugar patarally stimulates produc- tion, and for the cultivation of freeh soil fresh supplies of slavee are necessary, There are, indeed, obstacles to be overcome; but unfor'unately they are not such as are Iike- ly to put cown 4 trafic the most Incrative of sny in the world, The demand for slave labor te great and pressin; and the supply which Africa affords {s practically boundless. Capital will never be wanting where there is promise 60 vast @ proiit, andthe only points for the con- sideraticn of the slavedealer are how to evad vigi- Jance of the British cruisers, and how to bribo as eco- nomically as possible the Cuban authorities. It appears that the latter have raised their tariif of late, upon the principle, we suppose, of making hay while the sun ; und we hear of splendid fortunes realised by high official dignitaries, in an incredibly short time, from this most filthy source. But the slavedealer can well afford at event to pay soch bribes, Ilia profits are enormous, is losses comparatively rare. That he will therefore take every tneans to preserve and to extend his thriving trade, 80 long as more effectual means are not taken to put it Loan ie @ proposition which cannot for a moment be dis- puted. * * * * * . . ‘The only question, then, which we have to consider ie, whether we are not bound under present circumstances to Adopt more stringent measures for the suppreesion of the traffic than have bitherto been put in operation.

Calonge bad called the movement which he beaded in 1864 a revolt"—forgetting the cause » ehich had led to it—which causes he declared woulg have pro duced a terrible revolation. He thanked the President of the Council (Narvaez) for the energy with which he had repelied the Attacks of M. Caionge. “He repelled them,” eried the Marsbal, “with the energy of a man defending his own cause!’ (This created a considerable senrath Ho then catied on Narvaez to deciare if he bad not at one time contemplated joining bimself (O'Donnell) and the generals who got up the movement of Vical vara, and if, after that movement had succeeded, he did not rend one of his aides-de-camp to them with congratulations. He concluded by intimating that if these questions were frankly replied to he woul! abstain from entering into details on the matter. The President of the Courcil answered that in what Count de Lucena had dove be bad not personally participated, thongh relations had existed between him and that officer. Marahal 0’Donnell, in a long speech, after complaining that the reply of Mar. shal Narvaes was not eatisfactory, gave a history of all that bad taken place since the year 1882, and of the reis- tions between him and Narvacz at the time of the Vicalva- ra ailair.

Shortness of the Sugar Crop—Inmense Projits of the Cuban Planters— Description of a First Class Sugar Estate~ Queen Christina’s Speculations ia Newt Year's Sugar Crop, dc., de. Although on most of the plantations the cutting and grinding of the cane has ceased, on a few of them itis still continued, and may last a month longer; still, enough has been shown of the extent of the crop to satisfy us that it will not come within fifteen or twenty per cent 0 that of last season, chicily from the results of the severe blow of September last. The ‘Balanza General,” issued annually by the Intendonte, which is an elaborate and generally very accurate document, will alone furnish us any adequate idea of the extent of the whole sugar crop; but that will not appear for a long period, and i can only base my own opinion upon casual information derived from the usual mercantile sources. lt may, however, not ‘be unacceptable'to your readers that L should make some reference to the vast extent of some of the pugar estates of this wealthy people, the value of the product of whose lands greatly exceeds even the prolific mines of our own California, In a future letter I will enter more into detai on this subject. At present Iwill endeavor to give you something of a eke'ch of the great Zolueta estate, situated a short distance from the town of Cardenas, The quantity of land included in this property does not exceed 110 cavellerias, of 32); acres each, making nearly 3,700 English acres, which woold not 6¢ considered of vast extent as a western cornfield in the States, but which is far bey ond the usval exteng of a eugar plantation. The number of working bands, men and women, is 600 proprictor’s slaves, 650 hired slaves, and 250 coolies; and there are, over and above these, the usual number of old and infirm negroes, bestdes the children too young to be put to any kind of work, including those belonging to the Fired negroes, who always accompany their ts. Besides the usval accommodation provided for this im. menre force—and it is quite commepeurate with the cha. racter of the climate—the estate contsins a perfect and thoroughly organized boepital, under the direction of an hed physicivn and his wesistant, with the neces y spothecary’s ceparttnent. To this hoepital aro imme- ferred all those hands who are untt for duty, y have every care and aitention—the aged or partially infirm women slaves constituting the nursing force of the establishment. The order and cleanliness which pervade the whole of this department excite the admiration of all bebold ‘ext in order ts the lying-'n department and narsery for tuch young children as baye been already weane where their mothers leave them under the care of another Claes of aged or infirm female slaves when they go to theit daily tasks ip the field, resuming the care of them at night in their own cabins. This is a large building, opening on a grassy and thaded playgrouna for the children, Tae building itself is kept ecrupulously clean and neat, One of the most prominent establishments on this prince- ly domain is the store, also belonging the proprietor, This store is amply tupplied by bis means with every article of daily necessity, which i retailed by his clerks at as near cost and charges as can be ascertained, to the white ‘employ é# on the estate, as well ax the working hands, in- cludmg the slaves. By these means one of the petts of the country—the pediens, who practice thelr proverbial cunning vpon the ignorant and good natured workmen— are entirely excluded from the grounds. You are doubt. jea® aware that by ancient usage, every slave in Cuba has the right—wbich is never denied to bim—of keeping a pig at least, which is fed from the offal of bis own cabin, the proceeds of which become strictly bie own, and with which he purchases many lite comforts and indulgences; indeed, in many inetances thore who have practised suf- ficiert self denial, have purchased their freedom through the savings from their piggery; but that was when sla (working hands) were rarely worth ower £450; now they are valued at double or treble that sum. The of this tore is wisely conceived, and in itself exerts a moral influence among the slaves an! cinpioyés of this ‘vast property, who feel that the wealth and power of the proprietor have been beneflcently interposed for ther protection inet petty frand or extortion. | | { | ‘Besides all these arrangements, a ho ¢! or restacrant hat recently been added, for the exclusive vse of the engineers, overseers, teamaters and other whi ¢ men necessarily em. ended a . Here also the proprie- ded against exorbitant charges, by re- frlations similar to those which govern the store, an‘! the rders (being lod, ‘at the charge of the proprietor of the estate) arrange their meals singty or by the menth. order, harmony and saving of time which re- enlt from these dispositions, may well be cop ceived. Bat there are other details to be mentioned quite as loteresting. The entire plantation is formed into a fqnare network of railroads, for the conveyance of the cane when cut, to the mills for grinding, to the great re lief of the workmen, whose duties in guiding and attond- ing to the oxen fn rainy her—of which there is an abundance during the season of sugar maki are revere and arduous, The cane is grownd, as is now uni verrally the caso, by stam power, and the rast buildings containipg the miii¢, the dailing and purging apparatas, with the yard adjoining, are al! lighted with gat, (you are Teuppose, aware that when the process of hove p and grinding is once commenced, it i# rarely euepended day or bigbt, until the en ire crop is gathered,) made, of course, on the estate, cauring an immense tavin: of the common oil formerly ured for that purpose. There are four sepa rate batteries of two entire trains for boiling and makiog the sugar by the Deroane (Preach) process, whieh far niahet a greater quantity nad better qua ity of #ugar, and of course less molasees. Jn short, with the ample re- sources ot Senor Zalueta, he has evidently pursued the poliey of sparing no expeuse to accomplish any object which will render hie property mort productive. That you may form some idea of the exten! of this pro- duct, You mast understand that the last crop of the estare was actually 15,600 boxes of sugar, with, estimated aocord- ing to the usval results of the Derorne process, 190,000 gallons of molasses. Bat it js confidently believed that by ihe of additional force and an extension of the J powab Ty ad i be equal to 20,000 with the molasses in proportion. Further, it is stated that the exorbitant prices of 24 and 26 rials per aroba, for the browns and while sugars reapectively, have been offered for the entire crop. Let us, however, take a More modorate estimate of the crop oO! this princely pro~ bay Ty wd seo what it will amount to-— 9,000 boxes ofw! each 16 arobas, a 24 9,000 boxes each 16 arobas, at 20 19,000 (esis Tear sc oat", 2 f jes at each, wh ss than $134, leaving an actaal protit of.......... 96,000 ae ~ tes ~ rial 1 ga!

Riding Exhibition of the First Cinse—Ad- dress by the Cheplain—Large Inflax of Pleber—Increase of Visiters—Presence of Lieut. Gen, Scott, &e. The exercises at the West Point Military Academy grow more interesting as the examination progresses, an‘! were characterized yesterday by the attendance of a number of distinguished visiters, among whom was Lieut. Gen. Wia- field Scott. There was also a large number of guests from the neighboring hotels; and residents in the vicinity. THE RIDING KXHIBITION, In the afternoon, at half past four, about half of the graduating class were crilled in the riding ball, in the pre- sence of @ large namber of spectators. Tho bali is new, and quite commodions, being about two hundred feet long by fifty wide, and is far superior to any riding accom- modations which the academy had previous to last year, There are two gallerics erected for the accom. modation of the audiences, and though they are hardly as commodiois ag they might be, they are Agreatconvenionce. About half-sast four the section to be drilled appeared, equipped for the exercire, aud mounted on the very fine stud of horses provided by the institation. They first trotted round the course in double line, next in single line, and then at a fast gallop rushed round the course like a whirlwind, until even the solid stone building seemed to shake to its foundation, The wheeling, bait, forming tnjline and other movements were performed with great aceuracy, and elicited much ad miration. The next operation was a drill in firing and the sabre exercise, to tbe unitiated a most novel and interesting Proceeding. About six feet from the wall, in the centre of the building at enher side, were placed standards, bearing & Ost suspicious resemblance to a gallows, the arm of which extended over the space between the stardard and the wall. Onthis arm was suspended a ring, about two or three feet above the bead of a rider passing under it. In a line with this wore placed other standards, with heads made of cloth, suppared to represent the heads of soldiers waiting \o have them cut olf. Further on were smaller standards, with cloth caps, supposed, likewise, to repre- ten jére kncelirg on the ground, while clot1 caps on the ground were supposed to be sol'tiers lying down, try - ing to get out of the reach af the sabre. Tae exercises consisted in riding furiously round the course jn sections of fouratatime. After riding round once each of the dragoons would level a loaded pivtol at ene of tho stand. ing soldiers as he rede furiously by and fire at him; then returping the pistol to the bolster, ihe sabre was drawn with the rapidity of lightning, and astroke made for the next man, recovering in time to poise the sabre, and as they dashed by to carry off the ring on the point, ’ All this js done with the consumption of less time tham it takes to relate it, amd is really a very exchivg spectacle. The eabres went through the rings with precision which would have been slightly dis- agreeabie had they been aimed at a man’s eye, apd the stuffed heads of the imaginary soldiers received thumpings which could only have been endured by them sélves, without even the exception of the thick skalis of our colored brethren. Human nature could not stand svch ueage, ag the Irishman said, without falling. After a rather lengthy continnance of this exercise, the order was given to “diemeunt,’’ and in lesa time (ban it takes to write the word, (he whole troop was on terra firma, At the word “unsaddle” the nimble fingers worked skil fulty for a minute, and soon the troop steod by their horges, having a rinple blanket in place of a saddle, At the word ‘“monnt’’ as many beads as there were dragoons might baye been seen bobbing in the air, aod finally to sete quietly onthe top of firm bodies, seated on the Diankets. The previous sabre excrcixe was then re peated, and the class proved as proficient withoat Saddle’ or stirrup as with them, avd the scarecrow men received another terrible pumme!ling. The grace and ease with which the class rode, the precision of the markemanship, and perfect coolness displayed throughout the whole of the exhibition were pronounced ex ceeditgly creditable, avd an adequate result to the vigor- ‘one exertion and woful soiling of white pants necessary to the operation. At the conclusion of the riding exercises the compapy adjourved to the chapel, to hear the address of the chap- lata to the graduating class, The accession of a tine band of music apd an additional pumber of ladies increased the interest of the cocasion, After a preliminary performance by the band, Chaplain J. W. Preven, Professor of Fthica proceeded to address the graduating clase He sald that it was with no slight emotion that b varded the ap. promsbing moment of their departur © the institution, He met them with regret at losing ther, od invoked for them in that great solemn future whieh was before thera in their life’s career the bleesing of God. He would coun- sel them, first, in those things which were general to all proferetong; bext in things peculiar to their profeesion, and lastly would induleo in retiections induced by their Jate'course of study. He would exhort them to be religious men, gathering together the religion needed for virtue ne- cestary in this fe an@ the life to come, As Christians, as citivens, as soldiers and as men, they were bound’ to aitend divine service—not in any particular place—but certainly io rome place, There could be uo question of their doty to support this great ordinance 80 conducive to the public welfare. They should make the rule of their lives an unfailing attention to the wants of their souls aa well as of their bodies, They should algo take beed not to take in vain the name of Him to whom we owe all reve rence. They were bound to be models in the conecien 8 regard for all moral requirements, Seductions temptations were w beset them, and the jaes Jon w: should they conquer these passions or be conquered by them? Let not (bis claes furnish a single example o Uousners, and while they also avoid the follies of youu, Jet them algo avoid the faulus of maturers years—avarice and evpy. Jet them have a greet kindling aim in life, always industrious, avoiding te temptations of the idle, and im: proving nil those opportunities fo likely to recur in a sol- dier’s life, Ail these warniugs were appheabie to all ata- tions in life, out be would especially advise them with re- | ference to their Chosen protession, their profession, as a caty, after having chosen it, and not relinquish it with upmanly and effeminate weak ness. [heir profession bad charactoristios which should bind them to love ont honor it, tt had for its purpore the sustaining of right—for the defenee of the law, the constitution and the nation, It was the source of drawing into action the physical, the intellectual and the moral powers. All of these being called into action, ra- gacity, prudence, caution, comprehension—clear compre hention of logical reaults’ should not distract their alteu- tion from details, Mercy shoula temper discipline, and naught ¢lse but mental and moral discipline could guide them in she performance of their manifold and compii- cated duties.

The army needed men developed by long military training. They should be willing to sacrifice for it not only their hires, which every soldier hazarded, but also that which in the opinion of some as considered more impor. tant, their interests. They should coltivate literary taster, and relieve the mind from severer tarks by «eeking for information on any subject on which they needed hg at. They might do much goou by disseminating this know ledge. 'y should fulfil zealously and faithfully every duty in their profession. They should be unaparing t» themselves in accomplishing any desired object. No man ip an honorabje calling should be tainted with the slightest deqrens of reluctance. Against duciling, and ail quarrelling, he cov neeiicd them most earnestly, For the wants of themen to come under their command he would coon e} them to be ever vigilant and careful. formed the beauteova object on the canvass, he would hort them by their virtuous deeds to record’on the pages of Ume the ¢vidences of their attenting to early education. With tho fret hours of their commissions they should com mence to form that reputation which is the desiderainm of the military man— tathead qiarers. They thouid, by noble «triving, “ take places among the bene: tors of mankind."’ Action was the happiness, the soal and the life of the mind. In terminating their course of #tudy he would congratulate them on the successfulnoss with which they bat stool the Wial, He hoped they would realize the use of the various studies which they had porrued. They should trace analogies among the sciences. The fur damental principles of ethics, they should remember, and bring into praction, proservo the habits of ming which they had formed, and in all ree. pects remember that thoir studies were not an end, bat « mean, and merely proparatory. For their own’ advan- tage be would advise them to place right above expe diency, with the hope that whatever was right would Prove to be expedient, This baa been shown in Mexioo, where the ¢nemy had learned to the American yy. The heroes of Buewa Vista burying the dead of their enemies, and the army advancing on the capital, could not be tortured or taunted into committing acta of violence. The er concluded as follows -— In the course in constitutional law we have seen in the ‘constitution of the United States a perfection which can oniy be expressed by comparison with the framework of tne world, The eur of the general government reposes in its centre, triply beaming in legisiating, executing, judging. The State governments revolve in ir orbits, nelher seeking nor shanning the centre. The power of the peo- pie, hike ether in epace, is difured through all, originating All, sustaining all, vivify ing all, controlling all.’ Your cor. respondent obligation is to give to that constiition, with the Union it ements and the itembodies, your allegiance, your attachment, yout reverence, Next to the love of God and of Christianity, should be placed the lore of country. Public good transcends that which is pri- vate, and ovr affection for it should correspond to its great- ness.
