NEW YORK, SEPT- 7.—The Lone Star movement is getting to be a formidable affair. A new and com pletely organized expedition against Cuba is prepar ing, and unless my sources of information are far less reliable than I suppo se , some events o f importance concerning the political fortunes of Cuba are likely to take place during the coming fall and winter. Let me first of all enumerate facts. 1. Foolish, wicked, and inopportune as the Lopez expedition may have been, his fate was lamented by a large class of our people, and the resolution to avenge his death has never slept. He was canonized as a martyr of liberty, and thousands who would never have justified his acts were ready to punish his executioners. Besides, with him perished ignominiously more than forty native-born Ameri cans, none of whom fell unwept or unremembered. Even the magnanimous pardon extended by her Catholic Majesty Isabella to the American prisoners who experienced her clemency finally resulted in a very different manner from what her Majesty or her advisers could have supposed. Those captives re turned to tell not the history of the rights they had 'lofting:A, but of the wrongs they bad suffered. Among them were men from almost every one of our 31 states.

AUTUMN. —For the last three months samples of new materials have been daily pouring in from all the celebrated manufactories in the world, The amplitude of pattern and magnificent finish displayed in these new styles for Autumn have afforded full scope for the matured judgment of E. MOSES and SON'S buyers, and the novelty, quality, and price of the goods offered to them in preference to any other Establishment, induced them to give the earliest orders on their usual magnificent scale. These new materials, for every description of Dress, are now sub mitted to the incomparable skill of distinct classes of artists, British and Foreign, in the employ of E. MOSES and SON, and will shortly be presented in novel styles, surpassing every other invention. E. MOSES and SON, by immense purchases on their invariable ready-money principle, have secured great allowances, and conse quently their new styles for Autumn will be charged lower than on any previous season. FROM ALL NATIONS TO THE "DIGGINGS." Sl4ips are sailing from almost every port in the world, but the gold mines are not exhausted, nor the labour market overstocked. The superior equipment of many of the English is everywhere acknow ledged ; their means of comfort facilitates their success. That every emigrant may be outfitted in the best possible manner, E. MOSES and SON have employed all the advantages of their magnificent and univers,l trade, and that practical experience with Outfitting, which is the result of undeviating attention to the largest business in the world, conducted for the benefit of every class of emigrants to all countries on the globe. Outfits may be selected to any amount the emigrant desires, or the most profitable investments may be made in Clothing, Hosiery, Boots, Shoes, Hats, &c., &c., all expressly pre pared for Australia ; a separate section for Emigrants' Outfits, con veniently connected with the other departments of their magnificent business, where every article may be obtained at the lowest price, and superior in quality to the productions cf any house in the uni- verse. Full Lists of Outfits, and all information relative to sailing of vessels and cost of passage may be had on application, or post free to any part of the kingdom. SPECIAL NOTICE.—E. MOSES and SON'S Establishments will be closed on THURSDAY next, September 23, and will re-open on FRIDAY morning, September 24, at Seven o'clock. CAUTION.—E. MOSES and SON regret having to guard the public against imposition, having learned that the untradesmanlike falsehood of " Being connected with their Establishment," or " It's the same concern," has been resorted to in many instances, and for obvious reasons. They beg to state that they have No CONNEXION WITH ANY OTHER HOUSE IN OR OUT OF LONDON, except their own Establishments, as follows : London City Establishment, 154, 155, 155, and to?, atinories, 83, di, 85, and 86, Aldgate, opposite the Church, all eommunicating London West-end Branch, 506, 507, 508, New Oxford-Street, I, 2, and 3, Hart-street, all communicating.

Payne, coroner for the City, of the subjoined mysterious occurrence, which took place on board the screw-steamer Magnet, trading between New Dieppe, Holland, and the port of London. It appears that the Magnet arrived from New Dieppe on Friday last, and was anchored off Brewer's quay, Lower Thames-street. Among her passengers wds s a man named Velticus Schadman, who had charge of several head of cattle, and shortly after the arrival of the vessel Schadman and another Hollander left to go ashore, and nothing more was seen of them until about six o'clock on the following morning (Saturday), when some of the crew of the vessel heard loud and pitiful groans proceeding from the hold. A search was made, and Schad man and the other Hollander were found lying in the hold of the vessel in a state of insensibility. They were both removed to St. Thomas's Hospital, where they were promptly attended to by the house surgeon, and every means was used to restore animation, but with success only in one case. Schadman, who never showed any signs of life, was suffering from a very severe fracture of the skull, and ex pired a short time after his admission. The other Hollander recovered, but was much bruised about the head and body, and has since g one back in the Magnet, to acquaint the friends of Schadman of his melancholy and untimely fate. The manner in which the two men got into the hold of the vessel and received the injuries from which Schadman died is at present shrouded in mystery, and cannot be unravelled until the return of his companion. However, directions have been given to hold the investigation this (Tuesday) evening, which will no doubt be adjourned until the return of the Magnet. EXTENSIVE ROBBERIES.

LANCASTER AND PRESTON. The annual general meeting of the shareholders of the Lancaster and Preston Junction Railway was held at Lancaster on Monday afternoon; Mr. J. Bushell, chairman of the board of directors, in the chair. There was a very full attendance of pro prietors. The report and statement of accounts, which have already been published, having been taken as read, The CHAIRMAN moved the adoption of the report. Mr. MOORE (a director) seconded the motion. Mr. KAYE (of Bury) said he found the maintenance of way on the Lancaster and Carlisle and the united railways amounted to a serious sum of money. For the half-year ending July 31st, 1851, it amounted to 8,008%. 14e. 3d. ; for the half-year ending 31st of January, 1852, to 7,4'27/. ; making 15,4351. for one year's maintenance of way for a distance of ninety miles. In the half-year ending the 31st of July, 1852, there was a slight reduction, the cost being 6,9681. 35., or at the rate of 14,0001. a year. The directors had now taken the management of the maintenance of way into their own hands, but he suggested that the better and more economical plan would be to get some respectable contractor to take it for a certain number of years. The CHAIRMAN said it was in accordance with a very generally expressed wish on the part of the shareholders that the directors had taken the mainte nance of way in their own hands. Mr. GILLow (of Liverpool) asked if the majority of railways,did not undertake the maintenance of way —the London and North-Western, East Lancashire, Midland, and others ? He commented at some length upon the constitution of the directory of the Lancas ter and Carlisle Company. At the last meeting of that company be and his friends had proposed the appointment of a gentleman as director in the place of Mr. Marshall, M.P., but they bad been outvoted through the use of proxies procured by the board of directors. The CHAIRMAN said that he, as a director of the Lancaster and Carlisle Company, had never heard of proxies having been applied for until one was shown him the day before the meeting. After some discussion an this point, the motion for the adoption of the report was unanimously agreed to. The CHAIRMAN then proposed "that the follow ing dividends, after the rate of 71- per cent., be de clared and paid :—Each whole share, 1/. 15s. 7d. ; three-quarter share, 1/. 3s. 7d.; quarter share, 9s. 4d.; twelfth share, 33. ld. ; less income-tax." The motion was carried, and the directors (retiring by rotation) having been re-appointed, a vote of thanks was passed to the chairman, and the proceedings ter minated. DUTCH RHENISH. Yesterday a special meeting of shareholders was held at the Cotton Sales Room, Liverpool, for the purpose of taking into consideration the subjects to hot brought hpforA the general meeting of pro prietors to be held at Amsterdam on the Ist of 0k:- tuber next. _ _ Yv The report, of which the following is a summary, bad been circulated amongst the shareholders : The report embraced a detail of the financial and other measures which the direction considered most eligible to ensure the execution of the works prepara tory to the opening in April, 1855. The way from Arnheim to the frontiers having been approved by the Minister of the Home Department, it was proposed to proceed immediately with the expropriations of land for the line. The disbursements required beyond the expropriations, were—The laying of a new line, narrow gauge, alongside the present one betweem Am sterdam and Utrecht, the removal of the latter to the section between Utrecht and Arnhei m; and the alteration of the existing gauge on that section. The cost of this could be defrayed by the contribution of the 1,000,000f1. receivable from Government. 2. The way from Arnheim to the frontiers. Mr. Joseph Locke, M.P., had estimated the cost of a single line at 106,5001., or 1,278,0001 ; indeed, a tender had been received from Mr. Brassey for this amount, and the direction considered that 120,0001., or 1,440,00011., would cover the whole cost. 3. The way from Utrecht to Rotterdam. The designs would have t o b e worked out afresh , but this would make no diffe rence in the estimated cost, which would amount, according to Mr. Brassey's estimate, to 190,0001., exclusive of the co st of signals, turn-tables, stations, &c. 4. The cost of materiel. This the directors estimate at 1,800,00011., or 150,0001., not including coal waggons. The requirements for opening the entire line will thus be as follows : Expropriation of Prussian Exten- fl, sion lino and balance of Rotter dam line... 960,000 80,000 Prussian Extension line contract... 1,440,000 120,000 Rotterdam line ditto ... 2,880,000 240,000 Materiel ... ... 1,800,000 150,000 Total •••fi7,080,000 £590,000 Of the above, 1,200,000 fl , or 100,0001., will be im mediately required for expropriations, and for ratifi cation of contracts for delivery of materiel. The report goes on further to say, that the sum of 4,800,0001 can be obtained from Government according to article 12 of the agreement entered into; and that only about 2,400,0001 will remain to be found, of which sum 1,200,0001, or 100,0001., will be required for imme diate wants. It is recommended, that to obtain this sum, recourse should be had to the 2,415 stamped bonds in the loan of 9,000,0001, in order to raise money on their security for the construction of the works. The direction did not intend to put those bonds again into circulation ; but they are of opinion that the end will be obtained, by depositing the bonds in the Bank of the Netherlands, under trust of two members in the direction, two Dutch, and two English commis saries, to be appointed by your meeting, and by is suing certificates in their place, for the same amount and at the same interest, at par, to be charged to con struction account till the opening of the way. Be sides this, there were 6,496 shares which had been declared forfeited. The foregoing estimates had been framed upon the most economical basis, but the directors anticipate such an increase of traffic as would warrant the laying of a double line throughout, the cost of which was estimated at 1,440,000f1., or 120,0001., and would be increased to 3,000,0001, or about 250,0001., by the construction of a terminus at Rot terdam, a quay-wall at Amsterdam, &c. Negotiations had been opened with the Cologne and Minden Rail way Company, which company was charged with the construction of the line from Oberhausen to the Dutch frontiers, in order to come to an understanding on the different points requiring arrangement. The directors requested to be empowered to conclude an agreement as to the leasing of that part of the line between Emenerich and the Dutch frontiers. The rolling stook for the coal traffic would be provided at the joint expense of the two companies. Mr. CHARLES HOLLAND, the chairman, said the meeting had been convened by the English commi s _ series; with the full concuricence of the dircetion in Holland, in order that ale shareholders in Engla n d might have an opportunity of conferrin g together upon the very important and momentous questions that arise in regard to the Dutch Rhenish Rail way , as they could not have that opportunity in Amster dam on the Ist proximo; and he thought the share holders would agree with them that it was extremely desirable they should have a full statement of th e present position of their concerns, and likewise that they should come to resolutions as to what it was expedient to do with regard to the future. Although they were aware that the resolu tions this meeting might pass could not be clothed with any legal official character, there still could be no doubt, from the united purpose and perfect harmony which existed between the shareholders in England, and the directors in Holland, that that re sult would have due weight at bead-quarters. And he was happy to think that that harmony and united purpose must have a due effect upon the public in England and Holland, and would give a still greater guarantee for the full and efficient carrying out of whatever resolutions th ey m i g h t d e t e rmine upon. Here he might pause for a moment to cas t a retrospec tive glance at the strikin g contrast b etwee n their pre tent position and what it f ormer l y ex hibited in Liver pool.—(Hear, hear.) On the former occasion there was nothing which could conduce to their confidence but now he was happy to say there were all the ele ments of success presented to thc;in.—(Flear, hear.) They now started with publi c op i n i on both in Eng land and Holland in th e i r f avour. —(Hear, hear.) They now started with tre a ti es ma d e i n Holland and with the Netherlands Gov ernment f or c arrying out the completion of the li ne ; an d w ith a credit that , would enable them to c omp l ete t h e i r financial ar rangements without app ea li ng to the poc k e ts of the shareholders.—(Cheers.) All these features were such as fairly to lead to the conclusion that they should at least obtain a succes s f u l result w ith respect to the Dutch Rhenish R a il way. Th e y would ob serve that, as to the financi a l measures , t h e directors in Holland had obtained a hill w i t h powe rs to raise 200,0001. to complete the ext ens i on o f t h e junction of the pre.,ent line. As regard e d t h e complet i on of the line from Utrecht to Rotterd am, wh i c h wo uld cost about 400,0001., an arrangement wasmad made with the Netherlands Government, by which during the two years that it was expected to require in construction.? the Government bound itself t o pay a very l arg e sum of money as interest upon the capital that would be employed, amounting to about 30 w hich would ,000/ , be paid to them if they chose to raise the funds them selves wherewith to complete thatline. The Govern ment, however, reserved the optir , t , ; --,,0f itself advancing that money-400,0001., withoutchr g ing interest, and that you should repay them in three years after the commencement of the works -1855 an d 1856. They had the advantage of the abl e an d friendly assistance of Mr. Locke, who, at th e i r urgen t re quest, had sent over a responsible person t o H o ll an d to in spect the line minutely, and to form surveys out the fact that they would have a s th e i r term i n i, o n the side of the ocean, the two great ports of Rotter dam and Amsterdam, the latter t h e b est por t o f Western Europe. In connexion w i t h their f uture prospects he might allude to the f ao t that, even on the miserable fraction of the 57 mil es of line be tween Amsterdam and Arnheim, and plans of the whole works. He wished p ar ti cu l ar l y t o po int there was at present no absence of traffic. U n d er all its disad vantageous circumstances, this 57 m i les of line pro duced about 35,0001. of annual revenue ; and when they considered that the expendit ure upon it had not —(Cheers.) theirx c ( exceeded hd fundsee e d ril.) 1 w ,o e o lr O en ,O n O co o ot / n , eit union expendedse i y on w o h u o e l n d be a p l ro a tt s opi fi vo e ebn m d ew o t that k a r s t .

" That the parties holding the—English proxies at the ensuing meeting of the shareholders, to be held in Am sterdam the Ist of October, be hereby instructed and empowered to pass the following resolutions:— " 1. To receive and adopt the report of the direction to the meeting, and to consent to and support the three resolutions therein proposed. " 2. To express the -cordial approbation and concur rence of this meeting to the confirmati on o f the contract proposed to be made by the direction with Mr. Brassoy for the completion of the works, and to request the meeting of commissaries to that effect. "3. To authorise and request the meeting of corn missaries to accord to Mr. Healeden, the English resi dent director, an increase of salary of 2001. per annum, to commence with the present financial year, in con sideration of his increased duties and responsibilities. " 4. That the thanks of the meeting be given to the Dutch commissioners for their eo- operation in bringing the agreement with Government to a successful issue. "5. That the thanks of the meeting be given to Mr. B. Donker Curtius, for his able vindication of the rights of the shareholders to a due control over the affairs of the company, and generally for his advice and exertions as president of the direction; and likewise to Mr. C. W. Hesleden, for his zeal and energy in promoting the interests of the company, and for the prominent part taken by him in the various negotiations with the Prus sian Government relative to the junction. " That the following gentlemen be named as trustees for the purpose mentioned in article 1 of the resolutions proposed by the direction :—His Excellency Gerrit Count Schimmelpenninick, Jacob Ran van Gameren, Mr. Thomas Edwards Moss, Mr. William Allcard, Mr. B. Donker Curtius, Mr. C. W. Hesleden." Mr_ Tinsr.npnii submitted a statement of traffic which he bad compiled, both present and prospective. From the comparisons and calculadons which be had made, he had come to the conclusion that the de velopment of traffic on the Dutch Rhenish would be such as to realise a b ou t 2 0i. to 255. per share . This would not be realised in the beginning, because traffic was a thing of slow growth. Mr. LEWIN MOSLEM moved as follows: —That the cordial thanks o f thi s meeting be presente d t o th e English commi ssar i es, and to the i r secretary, Mr. Henry C. B e l oe ; and that a comm i ttee consist- Mr. Joseph Langton, Mr. L ew i n M ozley, and Mr. C. H.

Mr. CHRISTOPHER JONES seconded the resolution. The resolution was then passed, and the pro ceedingsthe closed with the u sua l compliment to chair.

FROM TUF. lORNIIIG PAPERS OF THIS DAY. TIME S.—We said the other day, and we :quid it to the credit of this country,that it was irnpossibe to enumerate or comprehendhe various acts and kinds to of homage renderedthe Duke of Wellington Perhaps throughout his lon g career.we might now say the same of the honours that have been already offered to his memory. All parties, all schools of opinion, men the most different, aiardtijeus:urnals the most antagonistic, have agreed to touch with the gentlest possibly hand their old grudges with t h e D u k e, an d to swell one great acclamation to his patriotic virtues and colossal powers. The D u k e a thorough aristocrat, and though he gave his advice, his vote, and his influence for the people, yet h e evidently re garded them as a human mass to be o respectedbe spared for their power and feared for their violence, to domestic ills, and saved from a foreign foe. un derstood them as he understood an army or a e neral that he had to deal with ; but he had little !nog pathy with them than a careful shepherd might 8 1 3 ;E:3 for his silly flock. He was not one of them. The n atural result is that he has always been more re spected than loved by the extreme Liberal party. In truth, though it was ;highly convenient to have a man in the country who could mediate so ex peditiously and so effectually between the people and the privileged classes, it was not compliment ary to the former to be described to the latter as an animal that must be appeased and tamed. Yet, as our readers would see by a very able article inserted in our columns yesterday from a weekly cotempo rary, the extreme section of the Liberals shows a noble anxiety to do every possible justice to this great champion of monarchies and aristocracies. These wr it ers generally brush away from the question a heap of little prejudices and sore recollections, and confess to an honourable pride in the Duke's genuine English qualities, in his entire loyalty and submission to the laws, in his continual sense of duty, in his calm cou rage and unwearied perseverance, in his uniform good sense, in his unwearied industry, in his readiness to make any sacrifice, to dare any danger, or brave any obloquy; in a word, for that rare union of qualities whicti rendered him for half a century the mainstay and glory of this realm. After a searching analysis of the Duke's character, and a careful comparison with the more dazzling qualities of his great antago nist, our Radical contemporary awards the preference to his own countryman, and that in a splendid, though discriminating, eulogy. Nay, the very anticipations of extreme Liberalism are made to contribute a new grandeur to the Duke's memory. He is described as the last of a procession of great old names, as the Northmen'e ideal of death envelopi n g in the dark folds of his robe the whole pageant of antiquity, of which we have now seen the last. A n e qually honourable example of candour and good sense has been shown in another unexpected quarter, and it appeared side by side with the English o ur yesterday's columns. The Asse m blee es say in Nationale, the only member of the French press that now professes to be free, has ventured to tell the plain truth about Wellington and Napoleon, and told it so plainly as to incur the_ formal reproof of the Govern ment. The facts of the Duke's life are so patent, s o consecutive, and crowned with such a practical con clusion, that it requires great ingenuity to explain them away. B u t that ingenuity has long been verna cular in France. It is by this time bred into the race, and is now, as it appears, a matter of political necessity. The theory that Wellington stumbled into triumph by a long succession of blunders, that from one unmerited victory he boggled into another, that next to a fortune always above his deserts his chief means of success was the excessive stupidity of the British soldier, who never knew when he was beaten, and that after Wellington had committed the egregious error of straying into France, he received a final thrashing at Waterloo, and was only rescued from annihilation by the accidental arrival of another army in the field— all this is believed as much, perhaps, as anything else is believed, by our philosophical and credulous neighbours. The journal we have mentioned takes the safest estimate of the Duke of Wellington's cha racter, and ventures to point out what really cannot be denied—his practical qualities—" a solid judg ment, a cool reason, a wonderful justness of percep tion, both on the field of battle and in the Cabinet, the most penetrating good sense, amounting to a power which became genius, a perseverance which nothing Could tiro or turn aside, and the most unshakeable firm ness in great dangers." Our Parisian contemporary points out the perfect harmony between the qualities of the man and their actual results both in the field and the Cabinet. if his military success was the result of a miraculous succession of lucky accidents, how are we to account for the splendid position attained by the Duke in this country, and enjoyed, with continued augmentation, to the very end of his career, so that one of the latest public acts of his life was to render personal assistance to the Qaeen in weighing the balance of parties ? In the case of Napoleon Bona parte the writer is so bold as to admit that in spite of his prodigious powers he overreached himself and' failed; so that if the commencement of his career looks very brilliant by the side of Wellington's, the conclu sion is all the other way. Lastly, our contemporary, after alluding to the splendid destiny which re warded this life of labour and self-denial, does jus tice to the universal regrets with which England follows her great commander and statesman to his tomb. Here, then, are two weighty testimonies, ex pressed with great force and even eloquence, and coming from quarters where political or national an• tipathy are usually allowed to reign supreme. And now for another testimony still more weighty, inas much as it is offered in spite of a combination of po litical and national antipathies. This wreath, not of bays, but of prickly holly, is offered by two amiable contemporaries breathing the mild air of the Atlantic in the classic city of Galway. They freely acknow ledge the "mighty genius of the departed hero." They chide the cold tone and scant measure of our praise. " Wellington," as they express it, was " one of the eyes of England." Ho was " the greatest comman der that ever led the British armies to victory." We may well weep over his coffin, for now he is gone we may soon want one like him. But the climax of the eulogy—which, however, these writers express in the language of complaint—is that Wellington was thoroughly, deliberately, and consistently loyal to the Sovereign whom he served. Perverse, cold, stupid, mistaken man that he was, he would not rebel. He commanded the British armies against all sorts of foreign foes, with a certain cold blooded, calculating, commercial sort of courage, and so enabled England to maintain her ascendancy at home. In doing this he was a traitor to Ireland. " May Erin never rear such another son to turn his mighty genius to the service of her tyrant !" But Wellington, it seems, had no soul for agitation or rebellion. " There was not an atom of chivalry about the Duke.—There was no heart in his fighting. He served a commercial people steadily, rigidly, soberly, regularly, just as a commercial people likes to be served.—He was no boiling enthusiast he was cold, rigid, and calculating—in a word, the Iron Duke. He devoted himself to the English service." Yes. There is the one unpardonable sin in Galway, for which there is neither political indulgence nor priestly absolution. The Duke was loyal. He was provokingly, stupidly, obstinately loyal. With one spark of true heroism how different his career would have been ! At the head of the United Irishmen he might have achieved the independence of his country—and then woe to England ! Under him the Irish Brigade would once more have followed the standard of France. Ireland would still shout, as of old, Faugh-a-ballagh—what ever that may happen to mean—under the bright em,. blazonry of the silken banner of every country that hates England. What would have been the conse quence ? The field of Waterloo might have been another Fontenoy. This delighful daydream' these pathetic regrets, we give in the very words of our Galway contemporary. Such is the last touch that was required to the portrait of this great man. He lacked but one thing—the generous enthusiasm that prompted a certain nameless personage to ex claim, " Better to reign in Hell than serve in Heaven." Under the tuition of Dr. API - lale, the probable writer of the article we quote, he would have learnt to es timate at its proper value the service of his Sovereign , and he could have reali se d the romance of 9.

CHRONICLE.—It is not surprising that, in the discussions on the income-tax, the case of short an nuitants should have been put forward more promi nently than even the alleged grievance sustained by professional men and traders. The great majority of holders of property are in fact life annuitants ; and the original intention of those ho devised the form of security more c ommonly k nown b y the name of Gover nmen t Annuities, was to facilitate the operation of sinking capital for the purpose of increasing the available income of individuals. In the ordinary tenur e o f a terminable annuity, there is no peculiarity to distin this species of income from any other revenue kind of revenue fairly liable to taxation. The jointurer or life ineu mbrancer on land pays the ins post as long as his interest continues ; and the pur- chaser of a life annuity from Government, or from an insurance office, enjoys equal advantages, subject to the same deductions. It must be wholly imma terial whether a deceased husband has provided for his widow by charging her income on his landed property, or by procuring for her a Government annuity for life. In either case the saleable , value of her interest is the same, as well as the annual revenue. Yet it will be found that, while only a few careless theorists propose to tex a life interest in land at a lower rate than a per petuity, all the actuaries who have given their opinions on the income-tax concur in asserting that a termi nable annuity ought only to he assessed on the into• rest of the capital which it represents. The reason of this distinction is worth considering, inasmuch as it is connected with the professional position of its au thors. Actuaries are the advisers and principal , managers of insurance offices ; and those associations are amongst the larger holders of terminable annui ties. The preference which they give to this class of securities is founded pertly on the higher interest i which they return, even after allowing a sufficient de duction for re-investment to ensure the reproduction of the cap it a l. Th ere is also a convenience in the constant repla cemen t o f the principal sum, which ob vicompanies,ates the necessity of selling out stock to meet the The demands which per i o di ca lly arise. insurance in short, as well as other speculative capitalists, have no purp os e in sinking money in a terminable would is, annuity, except to re convert it into a per petuity. Th ere ope ration, or itof c o ur se , a profit on the be effected ; but the banker and the actuary habituallynot divide an annuity into the interest due on the instal ments necessary to purchaserepmoney, which is sunk at the beg at the end, still subject to th in e g ' of beginning the capital. The sum and the new form of investment ; andthe term emerges although most exagge avie been repeatedly rated statements of the grievance e p h come-tax under any is hard n l a y ss published, it may be admitted that, this case, as in distinguished all others in which capital from income, the principle of equal poses a discouragement on one particular mode im in- vestment. The ordinary method of replacing °R.f capital consists in the annual employment of the the excess of the annuity, over the interest of the pur chase money, in buying other annuities of eh e same kinds. Many advocates of graduated taxation have assumed, with singular inaccuracy, that a fresh loss is incurred as often as an annuity is purchased ; but it is evident that the market price of all securities adjusts itself to any permanent fiscal system. The whole grievance, therefore, whatever may be its amount, was inflicted at the time when the income-tax was first imposed. If annuities have since maintained their former relative value, as is assumed by our correspondent " Igno ramus" and others, the fact only proves that the dis turbing influence of the tax has been practically im perceptible. Even Mr. Hardy, in his evidence, ap pears in some degree to have forgotten this obvious consideration. No permanent impost on any species of property can have any effect in increasing the price to the purchaser, so long as other investment, equally eligible in themselves, remain exempt from the burden. There can be little doubt that the annuities actually , held by the offices have, for the most pert, been pur chased with full notice of the tax ; and in all such in stances, the Government or other grantor, must have been the only sufferer from the peculiar incidence of the impost. The case of the annuities taken by the Bank of England at the request of the Treasury is, however, of a different character. The actual loss suffered by the capitalist or speculator who holds terminable annuities is easily expressed in any case which may be selected as an example. If, in the absence of an income-tax, A. invests 1,0001. in Consols at par, while B. purchases an annuity of 901. with the same sum, it may be assumed that—the interest of the money remaining the same—B. will be able to spend 30/. annually as income, and at the end of his term of about eleven years, to realise the same perpetuity which A. has already secured. The relative posi tions of A. and B. will be precisely the same if their respective purchases are made after the establishment of an income-tax, although the gross terminable an nuity will be larger in amount. If, however, the tax of 7d. in the pound is imposed immediately after the first investments have been made, B. will suffer a comparative disadvana Vie. The income of A. will be permanently reduced to 29/. 2s. 61. while, if B. spends an equal annual sum during the continuance of his term, he will find himself, at the end of the period, only able to purchase a perpetuity of toe same amount, subject to income-tax, or a net income for ever of 281. ss. 61. In other words, his loss in the first instance, will be represented by the value of the tax on el.'s tax-free annuity, deferred to the end of his term. The elaborate tables which have been published for the purpose of exhibiting the decreasing values of terminable an nuities may be accurate; but they are in the highest degree complicated and perplexing. In calculating the present value of an annuity at its commencement, all the elements of the problem are taken into consi deration. It is evident that, after the payment of each instalment, the residue is diminished in value, so that, if the tax is estimated as a perpetuity, its ratio to the capital represented by the annuity must in crease from year to year. The only question for the financier relates to the assumption on which invest ments of this kind are to be assessed. If, in point of fact, terminable annuities are habitually reduced to perpetuities by the holders, the Exchequer will be justified in regarding the excess of the annual pay ments above the ordinary interest of money in the light of instalments of capital. On the other hand, common experience will probably lead to the conclusion that annuitants are not, as a general rule, mere speculators in money. Where a principal sum is sunk in the pur chase of an increased income, the exaction of an equal percentage from temporary and perpetual annuities can inflict no hardship or inequality. The duration of the tax is equal to that of the income; and the same total impost is assessed on the sum invested in Consols in the one case, as on the amount laid out in an annuity in the other. It is possible that means might be devised for reducing the rate of taxation where security was given for the re-investment of the principal from time to time, so that income could not benefit by an exemption allowed to capital. In surance offices and money dealers will be able to judge whether such an arrangement would be prac ticable and convenient. If it cannot be contrived, l the only future result of equality of assessment will be to discourage speculations of a peculiar kind in a highly artificial species of investment. There are considerations bearing on the tendency of an income tax to raise the interest of money, which tend to sh ow that, even to dealers in annuities, the loss under the present system is necessarily less than the proportion convenience. Our we have assumed for the sake of Our immediate purpose has been to nvenience. show that the bond fide annuitant stands in an entirely different position from the speculator in securities.

Tne folly and blunders which ended in the mis carriage of the Lopez expedition have been detected, and they will be avoided in this new movement. The Americans have lost all confidence in the Creoles they will not admit them into their councils— they will not trust them at all. lam pretty confi dent that nut a single Creole has been admitted to the secret society of the Lone Star. They are regarded as traitors. It was, in fact, clearly proved that Lopez bad been betrayed; otherwise be would not have landed with so small a force, nor where he did, nor at that particular time. He was led into an ambush ! Americans have confidence in one another, but no body any longer believes the word of a Cubano. So the Americans will keep their own counsels, they will head their own expedition, and they will go more com pletely prepared for the contest than any company of invaders ever could have gone at any other period of the world's history. They will not carry Colt's ri fles, which hold but six rounds, but Jenning's (re men3.

Besides the wealth and social respectability o f their members, they have a large number of influen tial editors on their side ; and multitudes who will never join them sympathise with their cause. Amo ng these are the myriads whose friends and relations suffered in the Lopez expedition, who have kindled a flame in almost every county in the Union, which can and will, at the proper moment, burst into a general conflagration. 5. The Administration of the new Captain-General has borne so heavily upon the island that a far greater amount of discontent exists "now than at any former period. General Concha, the late Governor, wa s a modern man, of which Spain has had so few. His arrival was the daybreak of a brighter period for Cuba. Su everybody said ; so everybody believed. He entered at once on the path of wise, gradual, judicious reforms. He held out expectations of amelioration in all departments of the Government. He nearly succeeded in annihilating the most offen-ive and the meat oppressive monopolies of the islands. He proved himself an honest, an incor ruptible man. But the chiefest and greatest and boldest of all his reforms was to put an end to the slave trade. This was the first time the attempt had ever been successfully made. Could he have re mained in power one year longer, he would have utterly exterminated that accursed traffic. But, on authority which I cannot reject, I learn that the suspension of those crimes end abuses so materially diminished the revenues of the Crown that this faith ful and upright servant was recalled. Another and less scrupulous man fills the place, who has gene back to the old system ; and now crime, corrup Te t oh io ne n rfi , erm a h n eas d d v illany fill the island, and the slave trade ha s no t b een in Sc flourishing a state for twenty-five years.

Also in New Orleans have similar religious ceremonies been performed, which indicate that the Lone Star men have the sympathy and countenance of the Catholic Church. 7.
