Cuba, although positively lost to Spain on the day whon Gen. Durce was driven out of Havana by the volunteers, has been since then apparently under the partial control ef the mother country. That is, for fear the Spanish iron-clads might shell Havana if their insubordination exceeded a certain limit, the volunteers have allowed the suc- eessor of the officer thus deposed to rule over parts of the island not under patriot sway, provided such rule did not conflict with theirs. This farce has lasted some cleven months, and at last the mask has fallen. The rule of Bpain, the wishes of Spain, and the represen- tatives of Spain are no longer acceptable to the volunteers, and the orders from Gen. De Ropas, and from the Madrid Government, are openly disregarded by them. At the same time Gen. VALMASEDA goes home— the fourteenth superseded General who has failed utterly in suppressing the revolution— and his successor is on his way froy: Spain. The forts which command Havana are held, and have been held since the arrival of De Rovas on the island, by the volunteers. Ho has before now endeavored by stratagem to withdraw from the Cabafias, the Morro, and from “No, 4,” the volunteer garrisons he found in them, replacing them by regulars. Hehas always failed. Now he orders the vol- unteers to vacate them, and they openly re- fuse to obey. The Havana volunteers have their compeers in all the ports and principal cities of the island; so that if Spanish rule—the will of the Madrid Government—is respected any- where in Cuba, it can be only in such places ts are not occupied either by the patriots or the volunteers ; and these points and districts are too insignificant to mention. The nevy, on whose unquestioned loyalty Bpain has firmly relied, appears by late adviecs to be ag little inclined to obey her mandates ‘a8 are the rebellious volunteers, The Lloyd Aspinwall was seized by a Spanish man-of- war in defiance of all treaty obligations, and even of all recognized international law. On the representation of the American Min- ister at Madrid, orders were sent to Havana that she be at once delivered to our Consul there; but the Spanish Admiral MALcaMPo flatly refuses to surrender her. He goes even further, and offers to head the volun- teers in preventing her delivery. ‘Thus, besides the unquestionable disloyalty of the volunteers, it appears that the loyalty of the navy is more than doubtful. Now this country has a treaty of allionce with Spain, which, if it has not been ren- dered rather clastic by our Secretary of State for Spain's benefit and the temporary dis- comfiture of the Cuban patriots, has at least been religiously fulfilled by our Exccutive to its very letter. But we have no treaty with Spain's openly confessed encmics, the elave- trading voluntecr organizations of Havana, Matanzas, and Santiago. By what lne of reasoning, then, can it be argued that we should actively thwart the Cubans who are fighting against Spain for the same princi ples for which we expended millions of dol- lars and thousands of lives, and at the same time actively assist the volunteers, as we are doing, who are fighting against Spain for slavery, the renewal of the slave trade, and the establishment of a monarchy at our very doors ? In August lost a note was presented to the suthoritics at Madrid by our Minister, whose object was the independence of Cuba, under the Republican Government of Crsrepr The sixth and last clause of that note stated that “if the terms of this note were not de finitely approved by the Spanish Govern, ment, the United Sta = would recognize the Independence of Cuba.” The terms proposed by this note were not accepted, but neither the belligerency nor the independence of Cuba has yet been rece d, Why not? Bocausy Mr, Ropuirs, the Spanish Minister at Washington, knowing that Mr, Frsit was bra, y,in reply bragged a little better, and Mr, Fisit laid down his hand, In plain sh, Mr, Rouenrs convinced Mr, Fisit of the ability of Spain to suppress the reyola tion in the past winter campaign; but now not only has the campaign against the Cu bans utterly failed, but Spain is obliged to confess her inability to rule the men by whom she declared she could terminate the rebellion Under these circumstances, is it reasonable to expect that Mr. Fien and Gen, Grant will adopt the course which they threatened bo adopt eight months ago? Will they now recognize the independence of the Cuban Republic? Alas, we fear not! —— Shall We Build No More Ships t ‘Tho most impressive evidence of the down- fall of American shipping and ship-building fe given by the large sign, “ ‘To let,” which has been put up at the entrance of the exten- sive ship yard of Mr, Winuiam H, Wenn, at the foot of Fifth street, on the East River. In this place Mr. WeBn bas carried on busl- nose for the past thirty years, He has had there the most extensive ship yard in the world, He has built ships for the Govern mente of Mexico, Italy, and Russia, This work ho bas obtained in competition with ship-builders of all other oouutries, His mane is Known in all parte of the earth. The great ship Dunderberg, the finest {ron- clad vessel in the French navy, came from his ship yard. Now he retires entirely from the business, and the premises aro to be let. Whatever may be the theories of indi- viduals respecting the abstract questions of protection and free trade, no American can witness without regret the entire destruction of a branch of industry of which the country was formerly #0 proud. Twenty years ago American ships were universally admitted to be the best on the ocean, Our thip- builders paid higher wages to their workmen than were paid in any other country ; and yet they were able to construct vessels that could bear away the palm from all their foreign rivals, This, however, is now finished. Our flag is well nigh driven from the sea, and no new vessels of importance are building in any American ship yard. This lamentable condition of things can be remedied only in one way. If the country wishes to have ships built at all, it must come to the aid of the builders, either by taking off the taxation upon the materials of which ships are made, or by giving such drawbacks and bounties as will put our builders upon something like an equality with those of other countries. Unless some- thing of this sort is done, wo shall not only cease to build vessels, but we shall soon come to have no mechanics able to build them in case of a war, when it may be of the most vitel importance to provide our- selves with ships at home. Let Congress take this subject into ear. nest consideration, dismiss all mere theories, and act upon the matter like practical men, careful only for the welfare and safety of their country. Mr. Burt Convicted of Purloining Pa- pers. Mr. Bunt, the pompous Englishman who recently came to these shores to teach law to our Judges and our lawyers, railway man- agement to our railroad men, and morality and dignity to our benighted people gen- erally—this Mr. Burt seems to have come to a bad end ; or, at least, to a very bad pass in his affairs. He now stands publicly con- victed, by a report of a most respectable Com- mittee of the New York Legislature, of “ pur loining” papers. ‘The Committee do not call it stealing; but to make any contradistine- tion between the terms would be hypercriti- cism, The following is the report of the Com. mittee: Whereas they have seen in the New York Tridune statement by Mr. Cannes Bunt denying the po- sition taken by the Chairman of tis Committee In regard to the purloining of certain papers belonging to and in the custody of the Committee by Mr. BURT, they desire most respectfully to report that on the 80th day of March several parties interested in pro- curing certalu legislation attended before this Com- mittee, and among others Messrs, CHARLES BURT and Gionex Cxovcnt, representing certain toterests of the Erie; that at ihe time of the acjourament of the Committee, abo ‘an impor~ tant paper, whieh liad been placed i hands of the Chairman of the Committee and by him com. mitted to the custody of the ele missing, and on inquiry it was discovered that Mr. Burt bad taken the eame, and was about leaving the room with it when called bac by the Chairman ; And although at firet denying that he was in posses: sion of any document which did not belong to him, on request Mr. BURT produced the missing docu: ment from his coat pocket, at the same time ac- knowledging that he ad taken the same without Any perinission or authority whatever.

It will be seen that strong names are at- tached to this report. The best thing that Mr. Burt can do is to take the evrlicst and swiftest steamer for England. His elevated views are not con- genial to the inhabitants of the backwoods of America. We commend him to the Old Bailey in London. Good-bye, Mr. Burt, = Bede Passing the Sault St. Mary Cana’ The Hon. HaMiuton Frstt has published in his accustomed organ, the Herald, a state- ment that he las refused to Mr. THORNTON permission to send through the Sanit 8t. Mary Canal British troops intended for war- like operations against the people of Winni. peg. According to this statement, Mr. ‘THORNTON intimated that permission to use the canal in that manner was much de- sired by the British authorities, and Mr Fis replied that no such permission could be given, He also states that he has brought the subject before the President and Cabinet at a regular. mecting, ani that they have unanimously agreed that no British troops shall be allowed to pass over our soil or through our waters for the purpose of put- ting down the Red River rebellion, This, however, is merely evading the real point. Everybody knows that the British Government has no intention of sending troops over our soil or throagh our waters. What their design really is has been very explicitly declared. It is to embark troops at Georgian Bay on Lake Huron, to trans port them to the frontier near the Sault St. Mary, to march them on the British side across the neck of land, and tosend the trans- portsempty through the canal, under the pretence that they aro ordinary voasels of commerce. Then the troops are to be retm- barked in British waters on Lake Superior, and transported to Fort William on Thunder Bay. The question is whether the British are to be allowed by the Government of the United States to accomplish in this indirect HaMruron Frsit assures the poople he has already refu manner what Mr, d them per. mission to do directly. ‘To send transports empty through the canal will be of the same use to them for the purposes of their war against Winnipeg as it would be to send them through with the troops on board ; and it will be an equal violation of tho neu, trality of the United States and an equal out rage upon the feelings of the people of this country, who do not desire to be made acces. ory to the suljuyation of the inhabitants of Winnipeg. Mr. Fism and G GRANT ought to understand that the sympathies of the American people are, of necessity, on the side of avy American colony which attempts to free itself from a European yoke. Espo. cially is this the ease when the European power in queation is ono which has mani- fested the most ardent hostility against the United States at a period when wy were strug: gling for our own national existence, If wo must, directly or indirectly, aid any Huropean Government to recover @ revolted American colony, that Government should not be tho one which sent forth the Alabama to prey upon American commerce and to drive the flag of the United States from the ocean, Will not Mr, Fism take this subject into consideration, and relieve the anxiety of the peoplo by an official declaration that not only all British soldiers will bo excluded from the soil and waters of the United States, but that ‘no British transporte will be allowed to pass through the Sault St. Mary Canal on their way to carry troops for warlike operations against the people of the Red River country? en One of Gov. Horraan's obj¢ ions to the bills giving State aid to the Midland, the Adrion- dack, and other railroads is that they were passed by what is called log-rolling. That is to say, the friends of the railroads combined their strength and so got a majority in the Legislature, But if this is @ sufficient reason for vetoing th bill why did not the Governor veto Taxpayer Tween’s new charter? That charter was helped through in return for pagdges of Democratic votes in favor of these same Milroad bills. Does the Governor think log-rolling innocent when it is beneficial to Taxpayer Tween, and bad when it only requires the Taxpayer to keep his contract? _—————— Mr. J. ©. Baxcrort Davie, formerly counsel and Director of the Erie Railway Com- pany, and also the recipient of sixty thousand dollars from the Boston, Hartford and Erie, urges the appointment of an additional Assistant Secretary of State to preside over the consular clerks, while he himself presides over the diplo- matic department. Mr. Davis fails to state, however, whether he advocates this additional expenditure because he is too much absorbed in the business of the Boston, Hartford and Erie Railroad, or because Mr. Fist is incompetent to get along without additional assistance, During the civil war Mr. Chief Clerk [oxren was tempo- rarily appointed Assistant Secretary, and this office ought to have terminated at the close of the war, But now it is proposed to create two per- manent offices of the kind. Instead of listening to Mr. Davis's suggestions, would Congress not do better to investigate bis connection with the Roston, Hartford and Erie, and the bribery by which that concern got the advantage of the Erie Company? The subject of reading the Bible in the public schools is, it seems, exciting as much dis- cussion in England as it is here, A “Liberal Clergyman,” writing to the Spectator, makes # proposition, which we reproduce for the conside- ration of the advocates of the Bible on this side of the Atlantic, He says: I wish to suggest that if Lord Rusexit's plan be carried out of a chapter of the Bible to be read be- fore school, to impart a religious odor to the busi- ness of the day, it would be deairable to read it in the original Hebrew or Greek. ‘The reasons for this are obvious, 1. The direct moral effect upon the children would be the same as if is were read in English. 2% The indirect moral effect wonld be fur greater, from the greatly increased sense of awe and mystery. acy All need of eonselence clause would be entirely jone away. There can be no doubt that this method would be productive of quite as much spiritual profit as that now followed in many schools in this city. —————_ Yesterday will be long remembered in Wall street as the most active day of the spring campaign. The orders from the country both for railway shares and Government bonds flooded in upon the brokers both by mail and telegrams, and the transactions were of unusual magnitude, even as compared with the best days of the Stock Exchange before the September \anic. This outside public support is, of co .oo, the life of Wall street, and it was remarked that a majority of the brokers rode up town in car- riages at the ofose last night, a fact not before re- corded for many months, An active market has fairly set in, and summer Saratogas are looking brighter for the day’s heavy business. anes BS 0 Sa The election for a now Boant of Aldermen and Supervisors takes plece in this city on Tuesday, the 17th of May next, The inspec- tors, poll clerks, and canvassers for this elec tion are to be appointed by the Board of Police Commissioners ; and precisely what that means we kucw from the shameful experience of last November and December, The law which gives to all the opposing candidates the right to be represented when the votes are counted by friends in whom they have confidence, and whose watchful care may toa great extent pre- vent those frauds in counting which have so often nullified the will of the people, is not spe- cifically applicable on this occasion. But will the managers of the Tammany Ring dare to deny as @ privilege at this election what will be a right at all subsequent elections ? Will they refuse to allow the representatives of candidates to be present to see that the people are not defrauded in the counting of the votes? This is au inter- esting question, on which light from Grand Sachem Tween, Mr. Peten Bann Sweeny, and the Hon, A, O'llate would be welcomed by the inquiring public. ee s The ignorance of the Spanish prees hes been strikingly illustrated by the abuse which they heap upon Lord Denny for a speech which he never delivered, ‘The noble Lord is too saga- i atesman to sympathize with the military adventurers at Madrid, and the last man in the world to make an indiscreet speech, But what degree of integrity or intelligence ean be expected from journalists who place implicit faith in the conundrums of a Dx Ropas or the buacombe of a Punt 2 SS A great dea! said about Mr. Mothny’s dinner to Prince Tecx, whose only distinction consists in having given his name to a scarf which is not peculiarly graceful.

The heroine is a girl of the lowest rank of society, who has been sodnced, at the tender age of fiiteen, by a man of her ‘own class, and abandoned, together with her infant, to her own resources, Fearing to be committed to some asylum or a prison, ehe files from the den where she had fonad temporary shelter her babe with her goes out to feck for work.
