For a moment it affected American Securities, but as it was generally disbelieved and afterwards contradicted a rally followed. Although we are be ginning to learn that the ocean telegraph is an effective instrument in the hands of unscrupulous speculators, yet if not true the above telegram shaves very close to what is probable. It is undeni able that the mass of the American people earnestly sympathise with the Cubans, nor can this be checked by pointing out the apparent inconsistency in urging demands against one power for recognising and aidingthe rebellion at home, while themselves re cognizing and aiding arebellion abroad. They regard the Cubans as now occupying nearly the same position towards Spain as they did towards Great Britain in the War of Independence, the main difference being that the Cubans are more justified in revolting against the mis-government of Spain, than the cote- ; uists were through the. inis-government of England. On principle the American people dislike the politi cal connection of European Powers with their Con iuent ; a feeling little less natural than the dislike of Spaniards to the occupation of Gibraltar by the British, the difference being only one of de gree. Bordering on the American coast is this island of unequalled fertility and resources, whose soil is peculiarly adapted for the growth in perfection of a highly appreciated article of com merce. To satisfy the greed of a Power across the broad ocean, the natural wealth of the colony remain undeveloped, and the energies of its people crushed. To the neighbouring Power which so strangely combines materialism with sentiment this waste is intensely annoying, and is regarded as an enforced waste by a section of Europe of a section of Ame rica. Combined with these reasons is the strong Anglo-Saxon desire to furnish aid and encourage ment to rebels anywhere—out of home—a feeling derived from their innate love of liberty. All bodies of men struggling against authority, if the merits of the quarrel be unknown, become to the Ameri cans or the English, patriots rising against tyranny ; this sympathy being further excited by the suppo sition that it is the weak struggling heroically with the strong. All these inducements combine to carry the vast majority of the American people to the side of the Cubans, and have caused the numerous attempts, many successful, to reinforce and furnish with war material the insurgent baedsof Cuba. Doubtless the Cabinet of Washington has found it difficult to stem the current of popular feeling, and honestly to observe its international obligations. Knowing that this might become impossible by the time that Con gress met if the insurrection continued, and as there was no sign of its suppression, a vigorous effort has been made t 3 induce Spain to sell out. It is posi tively asserted that the large sum of £21,000,000 sterling in bonds, guaranteed by the United States, was offered, but in vain, if the telegram with which we commence this article be true. Suppozieg Spanish pride has compelled the Government of Ma drid to reject this offer, it is not improbable that the Washington Cabinet may recognise the Cuban insurgents as belligerents. We grant that there are grave contingencies involved, that it may lead to a war with Spain, and that to consequences even more serious; but nations no more guide their action by a careful balance of probabilities than do individuals, and, for an instance of this, take Spain's conduct in the matter. A successful revolution dethroned ISABELLA ; but the Spaniards, like all other people, while vehemently upholding their own right to rebel, deny it to their colonists. The Cubans, however, assert this right, and a long and bitter struggle thereon ensues. Bordering on the island is a nation of enormous power, whose sympathy is with the c Luse, of which the Cubans happen to be the belligerent representatives, far more than is that of the Cubans. After the rebellion had dragged along for many months, Spanish s tatesmen foresee that the ever faithful island can never again become a peaceful province of Spain ; that it is not possible to con tinue to hold it, even with 30,000 Spanish troops ; and, if possible, not worth while. The same opinion being arrived at in Washington, a resolution is there taken to give to Spain a graceful and profitable oppor tunity of retiring from an untenable position. Most men would suppose that this would be eagerly grasped, but they little know the obstinate pride and suicidal folly of the Spaniards. On the one hand is an honourable retreat from a position t he world acknow - ledges to be impossible to maintain, carrying away a sum which would have replenished an empty trea sury, and helped to re -establish the credit of Spain on the Bourses of Europe. On the other hand is the probable reaognitiou of the insurgents by the over whelming neighbouring power, followed, perhaps, by an active interference, when nothing but a miracle could preserve the Spanish connection. This means not only Spanish expulsion by force of arms from Cuba, but, as a consequence, a war with the United States, which might settle the fate of Manilla as well as of llavannah, • and bring to Cadiz and other Spanish ports, blockading squadrons. What man in his senses would hesitate between the two ? But it may be that Spain has not hesitated to reject the for mer alternative and to risk the latter. If the offer un doubtedly made has been declined—if, as we believe to be the case, the Spaniards have ruthlessly exe cuted in Cuba many American citizens, whose countrymen they have thereby exasperated, it is probable that the President, who fully shares in the sympathy of his fellow-citizens, as do the Cabinet, may have made up his mind to accept as inevitable the consequences of recognition ; and Nve can see no more reason why American sympathy should not lead to this conclusion, than Spanish pride to the re jection of such an offer. We grant the folly of the one, and the doubtful wisdom of the other ; yet folly and vice alone lead to war, while war is almost the normal state. It is just possible that the public discussion of this telegram may be intended to point out to the Administration at Madrid the danger of rejecting the only peaceful solution ; or it may be the dodge of a ring of speculators, but the news has in it a strong degree of probability. The most serious immediate consequence might be its commercial effect on the Union. We have explained in another article what is likely to follow a re-flux of Amerian Securities to New York, in conse quence of a European panic in the national Bonds, and this we hold to be the greatest danger to which the United States is exposed. England, in the event of such a war would again become the field for the operations of privateer-outfitting and blockade-running rascals, and the necessity would then be imperative to arm the Government with ot i r c i t ain authority in suffered g such may suffer proceedings. o e r a p Britain rdee ast much more from her tender regard fo r the laws which protect men who care nothing fo r the national in- crushing shi n enough, an d in terest where their own, even to a small extent, is involved. The country can well afford thus to arm the Government, for no one dreams of it exercis ing such despotic power on a n y other th an on na tional grounds of necessity . A t th e same time , we hope that Spain is not so ill-advised as to have finally decided on the rejection of any such compro mise as is now known to have been proposed. OBITUARY. —Judge D.

SECURITY POLICIES, UN- L FORFEITABLE, UNCONDITIONAL, and UN CHALLENGEABLE, issued by the PRUDENTIAL ASSURANCE COMPANY, 62, Ludgate-bill, London, E.O. Established 1848. Branch Office-7, King-street, St. James's. The Directors of this Company, in deference to an ob jection not unfrequently urged by persons invited to as sure, that the ordinary mode of Life Assurance is in their opinion defective or uncertain, by reason of the operation of the customary conditions, have resolved to promulgate the present Tables, and to issue Assurances under them which shall be absolutely; Unforfeitablo, Unconditional, and Unchallengeable. For the reason referred to, many persons hesitate or decline to assure on the ground that, i n; no event of in ability or unwillingness to continue payment of their pre miums, the Assurance will become forfeited. To this class of the public the system now introduced will espe cially commend itself, being entirely free from all condi tions of forfeiture on account of non-payment of premium, or from any other cause whatever; while at the same time it absolutely guarantees at decease, when even a de fault is made in payment of the premium, a fixed sum in respect of every premium paid. bearing the same propor tion to the total amount assured as the number of pre miums actually paid may bear to the whole number origi nally contracted to bo paid. Besides this important advantage, every policy will ox pressly state what sum can at any time l e withdrawn on the discontinuance of the assurance. The assured will thus always have the option of retain ing either an ascertained fixed sum payable at decease, or, in case of need, of withdrawing a certain amount, ac cording tl the duration of the Policy, such amounts being set forth on every Policy, and rendering unnecessary any future reference to the Company on these points, as is the case with ordinary assurances. Creditors assuring the lives of debtors will appreciate this feature as one greatly protective of their interests, and it will likewise commend itself to bankers, capitalists, and others who are in the habit of making advances collaterally secured by Life Policies, as they can at any time learn, by mere inspection, the exact value, either immediate or re versionary, of a Policy of this description. Every Policy issued on this plan will be without any conditions as to voyaging, foreign residence, or other usual limitations. By this freedom from restrictions of all kinds the objections before referred to will be entirely removed, and the Policies will become at once positively valuable as actual securities. In addition to the foregoing statement of advantages, the number of premiums is strictly defined. The longest term provided for is twenty-five years, and the shortest fivo years, as shown by the Tables. .Thus, bankers, credi tors, and others holding policies of this cliss as security, may always know the utmost amount they may be called upon to advance so as to maintain the full benefit of the Assurances—a matter of groat importance where policies sre held as collateral security. It is only necessary to add that, as a consequence of the policies under these tables being unforfeitable and uncon ditional, they will also be unchullengoablo on any ground whatever. They may therefore be aptly termed Absolute Security Policies. - The PRUDENTIAL ASSURANCE COMPANY pos sesses an income of £215,000 a year Its position is un questionable, and it obtains the largest amount of new busineßs of any office in the Kingdom.
