SIR, —Having on Swordly touched upon the Irish and j t An Da3's lois, I shad now take a peep at that g,nerally important stable over which the " W)zard of e North," AMERICAN NEWS. LIVERPOOL, SATURDAY EVENING. By the arrival of the Royal mail steam-ship Africa, Captain Ryrie, we have received advices from New York to the7th ult. She brings 831,333 dolls. in specie on freight, and 73 passengers. The Africa sailed from New York at noon on the 27th ult., and experienced fine weather until the 31st, since which time she has had strong head winds, made Tory Island at 1 45 this morning, and arrived in the Mersey at 11 o'clock this evening, after a fine run of 10 days, 6 hours, and 15 minutes, mean time. The Africa passed a large steamer, supposed to be the Asia, at 3 30 a.m., on the 281 ii Arrangements were being made by Mr. Vanderbilt, of New York, to establish a line of steam communi cation from San Francisco, by the way of Nicaragua, to Liverpool. It wis contemplated to run the steam-ship Northern Light (now building) between Liverpool and New York, connecting that port with the steam-ships Prometheus and Daniel Webster, the rwo latter making alternate trips to Son Juan. This line was expected to command the passengers from Europe for San Francisco ' as well as a portion o f those for other parts of the Union, and efforts were making to secure for it the conveyance of the g.ld dust for English houses, hitherto mvnopolized by the West Indian steamers. In order to render the line able to meet the demand for the expected increased traffic, a contract had been entered into for a new steamer to run on Lake Nicaragua: By the steam-ship Empire City, which arrived at New Orleans on the 21st, we have advices from lia vannah to the 18th ult. These advices were received by telegraph at New York, and are, as usual, so con flicting that we give them verbatim : " MOBILE, AUG. 21. " The United States steamer Vixen arrived at Pen sacola on the 20th, in four days, from Havannah, with some further intelligence from Cuba. " General Lopez, it is. said, had made a Amid at Mariel, and ;had two engagements with the Spanish troops, and was successful in both. " The Spaniards lost 80 officers, and 300 men in killed and wounded. " The wounded and dead were conveyed to Ha vannab, and the latter buried with military pomp on Friday last. " The force of Lopez is increasing with great ra pidity. From 1,200 to 1,400 new recruits join his ranks daily. " On the night of the 14th - over 100 men left Ha vannah for the purpose of joining the invaders. " There is a report also that one entire regiment of Government troops had gone over to the patriots. " The people, too, are rising in many quarters. " The last report of the results of the two engage ments of Lopez is that one general, one commodore, one general of marines, with 200 privates, were killed, and many wounded." " BALTIMORE, AUG. 25. " Charleston papers of the 22d, received here, an nounce that the steam-ship Empire City arrived at New Orleans on the 21st with Havannah dates to the 18th inst. "No news is given in addition to what we have already received by the Cherokee. " The Spanish war steamer Pizarro is ashore on Key Stone." " NEW ORLEANS, Ana. 22. " A letter to the Picayune states that General Manzana has returned to Santiago, abandoning the field to the patriots, who retained entire possession of the country , surrounding Puerto Principe. " The Pampero appeared off Havannah on the 11th, and was signalled from Moro Castle. She took two pilots from a schooner, and proceeded west, landing at Morello, 12 miles from Bahia Honda, and taking possession of the town of Las Pozas. The Pizarro and two merchant steamers, with 800 troops and 60 horses, left Havannah on the morning of the 12th, and attacked Lopez on the 13th, at San Miguel, near Las Pozas. The Pizarro had got ashore at Bahia Honda, and Lopez expected to take her. Lopez had advanced to San Diego de Nines, to cut off the retreat of the Spaniards. The people were rising in many places. About 500 persons had left Havannah to join Lopez, 50 of whom were taken prisoners. Only 700 troops were left in Havannah. " Other accounts say that Lopez had fought two battles, and was victorious in both, and that the revolutionists continued to be successful. It is reported that one entire Spanish regiment had joined him. " The fifty men who were executed at Havannah were engaged in a flank movement in conjunction with Lopez, when they were captured by the steamer Habanero. " Other accounts say that by letters received here from authentic sources, dated Havannah, 18th, we learn that. Lopez had fought only one battle with the Spanish troops. This battle occurred almost imme diately after the landing. The loss on the Spanish side, upon their repulse, was between 400 and 500. Toe latter, meeting large reinforcements with cannon, &c., returned to the charge, and succeeded in utterly routing the patriots and capturing nearly every one of them, including Lopez. Everything is apparently quiet at present, and no further difficulty is antici pated until more filibusteros arrive." " BOSTON, AUG. 26. " The brig E lward Prescott arrived at this port last evening from Cardenas, whence she sailed on the 14th instant. The news of the landing of Lopez had been received there previous to the sailing of the brig, and caused much excitement. As far as could be judged, the general feeling was unanimous against the invaders. There was one Spanish veasel of war in the port." Two steamers left New Orleans on the 21st with reinforcements for the invaders, making with the re turn troops of the Pampero three departures of troops from that port. In all parts of the Union the most intense excite ment prevailed. The following extract will show the height to which it has been carried in New Or leans : " NEW ORLEANS, AUG. 23. " There has been a tremendous riot in this city, growing out of the Cuban revolution. For the past two or three days business, to a great extent, has been suspended, and the affairs of Cuba have been discussed more thoroughly. Our city was never before known to be so much agitated. The excitement of the people knows no bounds. Hundreds of Men are pouring in ready to take part in the patriot cause in Cuba. A large body of Cuban Liberators, composed mostly of western men, having become exasperated by the tone of the Spanish paper Union, this afternoon attacked the office, broke the windows and doors, and rushed into the office. They threw the press, cases of types, and furniture into the streets. The mob totally destroyed everything belonging to the office. The crowd outside was so dense, and the excitement so great, that the police could not interfere to check the riot. After the office was demolished the Liberators marshalled their legions, and proceeded to the cigar store (kept by a Spaniard, who has made himself obnoxious to the patriots) at the corner of St. Chaples and Gravier-streets, broke the doors and windows, and destroyed all the stock and furniture, which were very valuable. By this time the crowd had swelled to an immense number, and the cry was raised—' Let's pay a visit to the Spanish Consul.' This was responded to by a tremendous shout. The crowd then moved on to the office of the Spanish Con. sul, and a scene of the wildest disorder ensued. The men •appeared to have run mad with excitement. They fiercely attacked the house, threw the desks, papers, and furniture of all kinds into the streets. They tore down his sign, and marched in triumph with it to the meeting in Lafayette-square. The meet ing in the square was one of the largest ever held in this city. The proceedings throughout were charac terised by the wildest enthusiasm. The excitement of the 21st inst. has lost none of its interest this morning. At an early hour a body of 2,000 of the Liberators surrounded the city prison. This out burst was caused by the Spanish Consul, who, fear ing that he would lose his life on the night previous, asked the protection of the American flag, and was placed in the city prison as a place of safety. The Liberators became clamorous, and demanded that the Spanish Consul should be delivered up to them, or they would demolish the prison. A force of about fifty policemen is on the ground, endeavouring to re store peace. The cigar shops kept by the Spaniards in different parts of the city were nearly all destroyed during last night. The most painful part of the affair remains to be told. The Empire City brought the remains of Colonel Clendenin and Captain Victor Ker, who were so inhumanly murdered by the Spanish Government at Havannah, to this city. A deep feeling of awe pervades the whole community. Thousands of people endeavoured to get a sight of the coffins containing their dead bodies. This gave rise to the sudden outbreak last night. Minute guns have been fired since sunrise in honour of the murdered Libera tors. The attack on the office of the Spanish Consul was caused by a report (which is undoubtedly true) that he received, by the Empire City, letters from some of the murdered Americans, and he refused to give them up when demanded by their friends:' The President, accompanied by the Secretary of the Interior, had returned post haste to Washington, the terrible intelligence from Cuba having abruptly ',lit short the programme far the continuation of his Virginia pleasure tour. The steam-ship Sarana has bean ordered by the Government to Ilavannah to in stitute an inquiry into the circumstances connected with the shooting of the fifty Americans, as well as the firing at and stoppage of the American mail steamer Falcon. Our dates from Jamaica are to the 11th ult., but the advices are v , ry meagre. It was stated that cholera bad broken out at Newcastle among the troops. In some of the districts small-pox was very prevalent. The arrest of a fugitive , at Poughkeepsie had JOHN SCOTT, presides. The great gun, and sct mingly only represen tative, of this powrrtul arable is this year to be found in Mr. A. Nicholi's b c NEWNINSTER, brother to Nunny kirk, by Touchstone, our of Bee's-wing; his perform ances hitherto have been anything but first-rate; his last appearance at York, when he ran third to The Calculator and Cf.:MU3 for the Ebor St. Leger, it his true running, which I believe, and with good reason it was not, was a horribly mediocre aff.dr. Since this defeAt he has been backed by a good many of the talent, aye, and for good round !Aims too, so that there is evidently more in him than meets the eye. His blOod is unexceptionabk stride somewhat of the sweeping description, which is the kind suited to the Doncaster course, is more or less a craven at heart, con,equently when collared a had finisher, is doing good work, will probably run horn:, among the front divisin, but cantata think that he will win, although. according to his trial with Vanguard, whom ha disposed of in very cavalier s tyle, he ought to be there or thereabouts, as Van guard it is well known, is iu first-rate fettle juq now. I presume he will have the asssistance of Frank Butler. Lord D,rb)'s Storm, being out of all form, it is not very likely will go to the post. A moiety of SIR J. HAWLEY'S LOT, probably Aphrodite and The Winn will be sent to the post. The Confessor, although, I believe, going to Don caster, will not carry the cherry colour on this occasion. B ilsamo will also be among the missing. THE BANN, a chesnut cult, by Don John, out of Young Defiance, is said to be the representative of the Fy field in terests; he has been supported in certain quarters at all sorts of prices for immense sums, and the outlay from time to time has been steadily in creased. He is well adapted to the course and distance, is doing capital work, but, without I am sorely deceived, is no winner. His running a bad second to Nancy for the Great Yorkshire Stakes was the immediate cause of his elevation in the betting; why, I cannot make Out, for the only horses of any note he beat on that occasion were The Marlborough Buck, who was nothing near concert pitch, Neasham, who, I believe, did not run a yard to win, and Ariosto, who is but a mile horse. APHRODITE, a brown filly, by Bay Middleton, out of Venus, until the sudden advance of The Ban, was sup posed to be the pick of Sir Joseph's lot; it she is tho roughly herself on the 17th instant, and meant equally with her stable companion, I take it she will givit him the go-by lung before they catch the judge's eye. Job illarson will mount the presumed best, and Pearl the other. THE GOODWOOD STABLE will be represented by Lord Eofield's b C HERNANDEZ, by Paotaluon, out of Black Bess, who, according to our account is not doing the best work imaginable, while mother account asserts that he never was better in his lite:nor ever did stronger work than he is now doing. According to public running this aiiimal is undoubtedly the winner, and as his private performances are'very superior, it naturally follows that, for both public and private reasons, he must stand about A 1 in my estima tion. Nat, I believe, will have the mount. Mr. Grat wicke's EXETER, by Robert de Gorham, out of Carlotta, tooled by Kitchener, is destined, I understand, to render what assistance he canto his crack stable companion. ADLO W will have Mr. Halford's br c THE PRIME MINISTER, by Melbourne, out of Pantalonade, in the fray; and if the course was only the odd three-quarters of a mils in length, instead of the mile and three-quarters, I should have no hesitation whatever in awarding him the race in a canter; as I believe, and with good reason too, that for a short distance he is the fastest horse of this year. The distance will be the only thing that will militate against his chance on this occasion; and this is the opi nion, not only of myself, but also of his trainer and owner. He takes his exercises and sweats in bandages, his pins being of a rather cranky description. He is doing lair work, and if he makes his appearance at Doncaster in good condition, shall be my forlorn hope or cockboat on the occasion. If Lord Eglinton does not require Marlow's services, he will steer The Minister. As, with the exception of Heart-breaker and Ephesus, the lot that I have nut yet commented on do not possess the shadow of a chance of carrying eff the stakes tor'any of their owners, I will dispose of the batch in a very brief manner. Mr. Waller'a cb c EPHESUS, by Epirus, out of Enterprise, under the management of Wakefield, may possibly finish in front, but to my fancy stands no chance of being the winner. He is doing good work. Lord Chesterfield's br c HEART BREAKER, by Don John, out of Dilbar, is once more doing a moderate amount of work, and, if tolerably well prepared by Monday next, will go to Doncaster. Bartholomew, I believe, will have the mount, without Lord Chesterfield should fancy taking Butler off Newminster, and putting him up on Heart-breaker. Lord Lugan's CN/EUS, by Pompey, oat of Interlude, cannot this time attain his usual post- Lion of second or third. He has been knocked about a good deal this season, and is consequently not particu larly fresh, is doing excellently work, and will be ridden by Prince. Lord Eglinton's b c HIPPOLYTUS, by Eini• lius, out of Fantastic, steered by Marlow or Sharpe, will, I believe, be the representative of Fobert's string. His exercise lately has not been of the strongest kind, consequently he is no winner for mo on this occasioo. His stable companion, Bonnie Dundee, has been queer for a length of time, but is once more getting round again. Lord Exeter's ch c MIDAS, by Beiram, out of Merope, with Norman up. if they run him, will finish in front of the ruck. Mr. Farrance's br c Gnos- VENOR, by Touchstone, out of Miss Beverly, with W. Day up, is said to be a starter; more I knew not. Should Mr. Meiklatu think it worth his while to run his t)r c CONSTELLATION, by Lanercost, out of Moonbeam, Ternpletnan will have the mount, otherwise this crack jockey will be at liberty to ride one of the favourites. Constellation of course has no chance of winning tic, Leger. Mr. Osbaldlston's b C MOUNTAIN DEER, by Touchstone, out of Mountain Sylph, will, in all probability, be left alone in his stable ; should he be pulled out, it will he to be beaten. \lr. Parker's b e THE CALCUATOR, late (I. 0., by Camel, out of Jamaica, managed somehow r oth , r to win the Ebor Sr. Leger; be, however, will tot win its namesake of Doncaster. Oates will probably be the jock. Lord John Scutt's MISERRIMA, by PALI .IIIOOI4 out of Phryue, after having been seriously amiss, is once more doing her work again; but I am afraid ,he is nut forward enough in it to warrant my tvving her a place at the finish. She will be ridden by White• house. Mr. Stebbing's b C Krioole KNOLL, by Sir Her cules, out of Testy, with 14'intringham or Fenn up, will help to swell the field; as will Mr. Wentworth's ch c AZETE, by Ithuriel, out of Charlotte; Bumby or F. Mars ton riding. Holmes, I believe, will mount Gholab Single and steer him to anywhere but victory. Having glanced at the chances of all the animals likely to run, I will Sow hasten to bum up, and declare my verdict. The ruck, presuming the field consist of those horses that I have named in my analysis, will, [fancy, be composed of Gholab Singh, Azsth, Knook Knoll, Calculator, Mountain Jeer, Constellation ' First Fruits, Exeter, Gro s v enor , Midas, Hippolytus, Cnmus, Lough Hawn, and Hothorpe. ['he lot at the head of the ruck will, I imagine, consist of Misserima, Grecian, Clasher, Ephesus, and New ininster. The first flight, according to my calculations, will be composed of Hernandez, The Ban, Aphrodite, Leinartine, The Prime Minister, and Heart-breaker, passing the post, perhaps, in the following order:— HERNANDEZ (Nat) 1 SIR J. HAWLEY'S C or F (Marston) 2 THE PRIME MINISTER (Sharp or Marlow) 3 LAMAR FINE HEART-BREAKER (Butler or Bartholomew) 5 I am, Sir, yours, Sze., THE SPIRIT OF THE TURF. Sept. 8,1851. EXTENSIVE FIRE.— Yesterday morning, about half-past four o'clock, a tire broke out in a spacious range of premises, occupied conjointly by Mes-rs. Murray and Pater son, Government contractors, sack, bag, &c., manufacturers, and Mr. W. IL Blackmore, a rag merchant, Sheppy-yard, Minories. The total loss is thus returned by Mr. Braid wood : The second-floor and loft over, used for dressing tar paulins, burnt out, and roof off; Messrs. Murray and Pater son, the owners, were insured in the Imperial Fire-office. The first-floor, belonging to Mr. W. H. Blackmore, very seriously damaged by fire and water, and insured in the Sun office. Warehouse adjoining, frame and skylight burnt, and centre slightly damaged by fire and water. James Goss, ship chandler, adjoining, the roof damaged by fire and breakage, and contents by water. The fire begun in the loft, but from what cause unknown: CONFESSION or MURDER.—One of the soldiers of the 30th Royals, now in Winchester, has this week volun tarily resigned himself in the hands of the police, acknow ledging that he is amenable to the law for murder committed on a young woman in Norwich, about four years ago.— Portsmouth Times. Duncan Dunbar, the extensive London ship owner, and a leading Protectionist, is spoken of as likely to come forward at the next election as a candidate for the re presentation of the borough of Sunderland.—.Newcastle Guardian. At the last rent audit of the Right Hon. the Earl of Dartmouth, a return of 15 per cent. was kindly made to his tenants on the Abbot's Brdmley-park estate. BISHOP OF BATH AND WELLS,—The accountb which have been published respecting the health of the Bishop of Bath and Wells are very much exaggerated; the recent reports are very favourable, and the Bishop is proceed ing towards convalescence. THE LATE EARTHQUAKE...—..The Official Gazette of the Two Sicilies of the 24th ult. gives a long and detailed account of the disasters caused throughout the kingdom of Naples by the earthquake of the 14th. The shocks expe rienced in the provinces of Terra di Lavoro and Principato Citeriore were without serious results, but the Principe to Ulteriore was severely visited, particularly in the districts of Carbonara, Lacedonia, Calitri, and Monteverde. In the latter place a lady, Lonna Berenice Bonito, was buried under the ruins of a house, while giving the breast to her infant. At Bovine, Ascoli, Lucera, and Sanseverino and other pl-ces of Capitanata, most of the houses were seriously in jured, but no lives wore lost. In the province of Bari the town of Canosa has suffered most ; 376 houses are in a tot tering condition ; two churches, the town house, and the arch of Diomedes have been considerably damaged. But the scourge was most severely felt in the province of Basili cata, its effects being chiefly concentrated around the Val tore, where the motion lasted sixty seconds; and, according to the account, it had not quite ceased by the last advices. One half of Venosa has been destroyed ; at Rionero 52 dead bodies had been dug out of the ruins on the 16th. At Barite the number of dead amounts to 100, and the town r f Meld, containing 10,000 inhabitants, is a heap of ruins ; 700 per sons lost their lives thtire, and upwards of 200 are severely bruises 1/411YOundEl• EVENING, SEPTEMEER 8, 1851. again created much excitement, although there was no disturbance of the peace. A tremendous fire had occurred at Concord, sup posed to be the work of an incendiary. Property to the amount of 150.000 dolls. was destroyed. The safe of the Mechanics' Bank was among the ruins, con taining 150.000 dolls. in bank bills, 10,000 dolls. in specie, and 100,000 dolls. in railway bonds. Late advices from Hayti mention that, in conse quence of the departure of the Emperor fur the north, with hostile intent, as was supposed, the holders of doubloons held them at 2 dolls. 30c. The English and French consuls had given public notice that they would blockade every port in the island in case the Haytians commenced hostilities against the Domi nicans. The first parcel of the new coffee crop had been delivered, and there was no doubt of the immensity of the yield. Coffee had, in consequence, fallen from 100 dolls. to 85 dollg. Haytian currency. SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS. FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAY. TIDIES.—The severe punishment inflicted by the Spanish authorities at Havannah upon the first fifty prisoners who fell into their hands, from the second piratical expedition of General Lopez and his band against the island of Cuba, appears to us to be justi fied by the facts of this extraordinary case; but it is impossible not to deplore the misdirected bravery of men who have thus forced upon a friendly Govern ment an act of indiscriminating slaughter. The peace of the world and the maintenance of the fundamental rights of all States positively require that it should not be in the power of a gang of buccaneers to invade a foreign territory, to let loose all the horrors of fire and sword and negro insurrection in a flourishing colony, and to prostitute the fair names of liberty and inde pendence to the crimes of rapine and bloodshed. Against that heinous offence the laws of nations and ' the necessity of the case provide but one remedy and one effectual mode of rep-ession. Men who delibe rately embark in such enterprises are, by the consent ' of all nations, placed beyond the protection of the law. They are enemies of the human race ; they transgress at one and the same time the laws of their own country, which prohibit and condemn such conspiracies, and the rights of the country they wantonly and desperately invade. They de serve the terrible fate they have encountered as much as the burglar who is shot in attempting to break into a house, In this particular instance every species of warning had been given them. This attack was a repetition of one which had miscarried but a few months ago, when the Spaniards behaved with a lenity that surprised us, and actually surrendered the persons whom they had captured, intimating only that on the next occurrence of a similar nature they should exact the whole penalty of the law. The American Government had likewise taken care to disclaim all interest in men who could disgrace the flag of their country by an open violation of its laws ; and accordingly the United States Consul at Haven nab abstained from any attempt to impede the strict execution of military justice. These men were taken with arms in their bands in the waters of Cuba. They appear to have formed part of the marauding force in the "Pampero," which had effected a landing under General Lopez at Bahia Honda ; but, for some reason not clearly explained, they re-embarked in four boats or launches, which were pursued and captured oa the 15th of August by the Spanish steamer-of war " Havanero," commanded by Admiral Bustillos. Being brought into the port of Havannah in the night, they were shot before the Castle of Atares the next morning at eleven o'clock, in the presence of an im mense concourse of spectators, who appear, by all accounts, to have loudly applau d ed the justice of the sentence, and even, as is stated by the American prints, to have treated the inanimate remains of these misguided men with ferocity and insult. This last circumstance may very likely have been added to colour the appeals to popular vengeance current in New Orleans; for the Americans seem to think that, as they cannot deny the justice of the sentence, they may impugn the mode of execution. The more im portant part of this question is,:however, the effect produced by it in the United States and upon the rela tions of that Power with Spain. The immense ma jority of the people of the United States must ac knowledge with ourselves that, upon such repeated provocation and aggression, Spain had no other course to pursue ; and we have not yet learnt to think so ill of our descendants in the New 'World as to suppose that they will identify themselves, from mere vindictive feelings, with one of the grossest out rages that could be inflicted on a foreign State. It is well for humanity when great principles can be main tained by the sole respect and authority due to the law ; but if those conditions are violated the law cannot remain suspended or unarmed. Men embarked in this Cuban expedition from a vague notion that they should escape the chances of wsr and capture as easily as they baffled the police of the Federal Go vernment of the United States. They had been re peatedly warned of their danger, but probably not one of them had "realized" his true position till it was too late to recede. This example, therefore, was in the highest degree necessary to demonstrate the consequences of levying these private wars, and of conspiring openly against the territorial rights of another nation; nor can we doubt that it will have a great and salutary effect in checking these expeditions, in which a man risks his life, not as a soldier, but as a felon. No doubt this melancholy occurrence will be largely used in the United States as a means of political agi tation to discredit the existing Administration for its alleged abandonment of American interests, and to embroil the Union, if possible, with the Crown of Spain, and so to renew the attack upon Cuba in a more regular shape. So far, we are not indifferent to the effect which this event may have on the choice and conduct of Mr. Fillmore's successor; and we may live to see the Cabinet of Washington, at no distant period, in less dignified and conscientious hands. But, unless the United States, with all the wealth and intelli gence of the north and the west, are prepared to sacrifice their dearest interests in order to extend and protect the interests of slavery in Cuba as well as in their own sieter States of the South, they will resist at ell hazards this wicked and dangerous conspiracy, and will support Mr. Fillmore's Government in op posing one of the most dangerous schemes that has ever been formed against the character and the wel fare of their common country. HERALD.—We are not of the number of those who would be prompt to suggest the interference of Great Britain in every quarrel, or the tendering of her mediation or advice in every difference that may arise between other independent states. The history of Europe from 1793 to 1815, shows at least the costliness, if not the inexpediency, of such interfe rence, and may well suggest to British statesmen and politicians the propriety of thinking twice or thrice before uttering or writing a single word, or before taking the slightest steps, diplomatic or otherwise, in any such grave question as we are adverting to. Taxed as this country is, and has been for six-and thirty years, in consequence of long and expensive wars, it becomes the duty of Great Britain to see that her own real interests are menaced or injured ere she utters a single remonstrance or puts forward a single complaint. These prefatory remarks we make as in troductory to the question of Cuba, and as having an indirect bearing on that question, totally irrespec tive of the question of international law. Most as suredly we owe no international courtesies to the imbecile and corrupt Government of Spain. That Government has not only exhibited the grossest ingratitude for the sacrifices of blood and treasure we made in her cause from 1809 to 1814, but for the still later sacrifices made for, and services rendered to, her in 1834, 1835 and 1536, under the treaty of the Quadruple Alli ance. Spain has not only given us no advantages or indemnities, but has treated our representatives with contumely and neglect. In affairs of commerce we enjoy no special privileges. No reciprocity treaty on a large scale between Spain and Great Britain has yet been negotiated or signed, and the manner in which our holders of Spanish Bonds have been treated has been flagrantly unjust, dishonest, and unworthy of any nation pretending to be civilised. On the ex pulsion of our ambassador from Madrid in 1847 we do not now stop to speak, for already our opinions are recorded on that subject in reference to the questions of international law and justice. But the manner and mode of that expulsion, altogether apart from the question of its justice or expediency, were such as to disentitle Spain to the -least favour at our hands. Inde pendently of these national, or rather personal, consi derations existing between the two states, the general march of the Government of Spain for the last ten years has not been such as to entitle it to Bri tish sympathy or respect. Its course, both at home and abroad, both in its dominions in Europe and beyond the seas (to render literally the expres sive Ultramar), has been narrow-minded, perverse, and retrograde, and nowhere more so than in the island of Cuba. But though the conduct of Spain in our regard has been unjust, ungrateful, and positively dishonest—though the Administration of Spain bas been unenlightened and unjust at home, and tyran nous and oppressive colonially, yet we have no right to look at our own wrongs through the light of its colonial administration. Whether as a government or a people we are bound to express an opinion on lawless buccaneering and brigandish expeditions of other nations, striking at the root of all authority and of all government, is quite another question. Cuba is as much a lawful possession of Spain as the Isle of Man, the Isle of Skye, or Ireland is of Great Britain, and Spain has as much right, according to the public law of Europe, to consider as law less invaders and buccaneers those who land on her shores, as we should have so to regard General Lopez and his crew if they were to land at Galway or Mutton Island, with a view to repeal the union between Great Britain and Ireland, and liberate our Celtic brethren from what the late Daniel O'Con nell called "the galling yoke of the Saxon." This much it is necessary to state in reference to the re marks of a Radical journal of Saturday, which seemed to consider that the ill-conduct and ingratitude of Spain towards ourselves were ingredients which could be imported into our view of the case. , they cannot be so imported is a bundantly clear. of the .\Ne are bound to regard Spain as an integral p ti o of pretences E p I E f u i r t op b e e la ans zf s u t e l m t 0 , c d r e e sp acreated s b yp otfreciyb law a n a oil ain such as are alleged by the buccaneers, why may it not be lawful to despoil the Porte of Egypt; Great Britain of Gibraltar, Malta, Ceylon, the Indies, or e ven of Ireland ; Denmark of St. Thomas's or St. Croix; or France of St. Pierre or Miquelon ? Every infraction of public law of this nature leads to gene ral insecurity, and increases the danger of war. Considerations of this kind fully justified the Captain General of Cuba in taking the most summary and the most severe measures in dealing with the band of pirates who invaded the territory of Spain ; and the United States Government (qua Government) is not in a posi tion to relnOnbtlfites still WS to retaliate, with any show of justice. But the Executive in America is weak and powerless against popular passion, or, more properly speaking, against popular frenzy ; and we are in no degree suprised that the fate of the 52 men executed as mere piratical invaders has excited (as our American advices published to-day inform us) an active and contagious sympathy at New Orleans, Philadelphia, New York, and other cities and towns throughout the Union. An energetic cry of this kind, under the guise of patriotism, meaning annexation, may overbear the Government of Washington, and render it powerless to stop a national crusade against Cuba. In such circumstances ill-blood may be gene rated, and the United States Government might seek a pretext or cause of quarrel which would have some show of justice to back it up. For any established or civilised Government to make common cause with the pirates we hold to be impossible; but the firing on an American steamer may be deemed a just cause of quarrel by th .tse among the Executive of the United States who seek a decent pretext to cloak over an unevoweble purpose. In such an event as we hint at—which is possitile—ought the diplomacy of the European powers, more especially of England and France, to remain tranquil, or to forbear from state papers and representations cogent and strongly expressed. A great maritime power in possessiGn of Cuba would command the Gulf of Florida, would threaten the British possessions in the Carribean Sea, and would hold, in fac., the key of th ese dependencies. These are considerations bearing not merely on the interests of English trade and naviga. tion, hut on our ascendancy as the most powerful maritime nation, and on our dominion as the greatest mistress of far distant colonies the world bas ever yet seen. It may be that these speculations as to the United States Government are unwarranted. It may be that the Executive at Washington has the power and the principle to resist the cry of an encroaching and turbulent democracy eager for the possession of the finest and moat fertile island on the face of the habitable globe, and that sympathisers with the Lopez and Crittendens will be put down and punished by native American authorities. But if we read the American journals aright the mania for the piratical possession —or, as it is called the annexation of Cuba, is on the increase, and while such principles are rife, it becomes the Governments of England and France to bold counsel together, and in union in tem perately and in friendly fashion to suggest to the United States, the propriety, first, of guaranteeing together to Spain the possession of Cuba, or at least of discouraging those marauders—those hostes humani generis, whose existence as a permanent body is in compatible either with peace or civilisation. France is, next to ourselves, the greatest maritime nation. She has rights of fishery, of commerce, and of naviga tion, secured by treaty, which might be seriously compromised, injured, or altogether effaced by the predominancy of America in a quarter of the globe already with common accord in the possession of a third-rate power like Spain. COMMERCIAL NEWS. NEW Yonx, Ana 26 —Tee excitement caused by th, expedition under General Lopez against Cuba, although very great throughout the country, has not yet had au) visible effwet upon our money market. The sudden cheek given to the export of the proeieu , metals last week, and the large amount of gold received from California, have been the means of improving the condition of finance affairs. Since the 19th the fluctua- tions in the stock market have been considerable, parti cularly in those of a speculative character. The sale of Government and State stocks, however, have not been extensive—there are none pressing on the market, ano quotations are readily realised. There is an increased demand for sterling bills, and bills on London at 110 to 110 k; on Paris 60 days bills, 51. 12/c. to sf. 111 c., and short sight, sf. 7/c. to 51. 6-I,e; on Hamburgh, 36/ to 3q; on Bremen, 78k to 78k. Cotton—A good demand has existed for cotton during the past week, and on some days a very active inquiry, the sales in one amounting to 3,500 bales, and iu ano ther 3,000. The transactions of the week amount to 12,000 bales, about 4,000 for export, the remainder for home use and speculation. Prices have during this period considerably improved, and our quotations are adjusted accordingly. The improvement is accelerated by the lightness of the stock remaining at this port, as well as other ports of the United States; at the same time the fact cannot be disguised that public opinion as to the probable extent of the coming crop is much modi fied, and that to this is to be attributed the increasing confidence which sustains the movement in the staple. The home trade are very bare of stock and buy with much spirit, and an early supply from planters would to them be very acceptable Flour—At this season of the year there is generally a wide range of prices, owing to the small supplies of new and the desire to sell the old. The stock of Cana dian in bond is light, but the article dull, at 4 dollars, and principally wanted for the British provinces. Mixed western, 3 dollars 75 cents to 3 dollars 81k cents; Ohio, 3 dollars 87/ cents to 4 dollars; pure Genesee, 4 dollars to 4 dollars 12/ cents. Southern kinds of the old stock are selling at 4 dollars to 4 dollars 12i cents, and the new, 4 dollars 12i cents to 4 dollars 37/ cents. Corn meal, 2 dollars 91 cents. to 3 &Mars for Jersey. Grain—There is still a fair demand for wheat, for both home use and export, but the larger portion of the orders are at prices below present rates. The sales have been 95 cents to 100 cents for Genesee. Indian corn brings 56 cents to 56/ cents for sound western mixed, and is iu light supply. Round yellow is ,57 cents no minal.

The ship Catherine, from Dublin for New York, wit') 300 passengers, and salt and iron, went ashore on Saturday morning, the 23d. instant, on East Hamplo beach. The cargo was destined for St. John's. The steamer Achilles arrived at this port yesterday with the passengers, 272 in number, arid part of the crew. When the steamer left the Catherine the water was up to her decks, and the tide ebbing and flowing in her. They were unbending saUs and stripping her. The Fame, from Sierra Leone, arrived at Port Royal, Jamaica. on the 30th of July, with a detachment of the Ist and 2d West India Regiments on board. The Salopian sailed from Jamaica for London on the Ist ult., and the Grecian, for Glasgow, and the Icarus, for Liverpool, the same day. Arrived at Port Royal, Jamaica.—The Commodore, from London, and the Z -rime from Hamburgb, Aug. 2; and the Cornwall, from Newport, Aug. 5. Captain Lang, of the Rus,ian brig Victoria, arrived at this port from Kilrush, reports that on the 7th ult.. in lat. 44, long. 48, he fell in with the wreck of the British brig John Hawks, of Swansea, from Prince Edward's Island fur Bristol, with a cargo of lumber. She was water-logged, having sprung a leak in the gale from the S.W. on the Ist instant. Took from her Captain Rich ards and crew, consisting of seven men. [The above is the vessel brought into Liverpool a derelict by the crow of the British Empire.] The British brig Wonder, from Carthagena, bound to Liverpool, put into Charleston on the 20th jest. for repairs, the foremast having been struck by lightning and disabled. The statement in the Boston papers. that 1,600 dolls. salvage is claimed (It the British brig Juverna and cargo is incorrect. Nothing has as yet been heard from the owners in relation to the vessel. The subject of sal vage upon the cargo was referred to two persons of this town for decision, which decision has not yet been made. The brig Monarch, which cleared at Quebec on the sth ult. for Sunderland, and had proceeded on her voyage as far as Grosse Isle, returned to port on the evening of the 14th, in tow of a steamer, the crew having refused to proceed in her in consequence of her leaking. MADAME CELESTE• - We regret to bear that we shall ere long lose for a while from the English stage the accomplished di rectress of the Adelphi Theatre. Madame Celeste is about shortly to pay a professional visit to the United States, where her transcendent talents are well known and appreciated, and where she will meet with the hearty welcome with which a public favourite is always greeted. Her repertoire will, if we mistake not, be in a great part new to the United States; the character of Miami, for example, which she has per formed at the Adelphi Theatre alone nearly 400 nights, and which still continues to attract crowded houses, is we believe new to our Transatlantic brethren. They, of all men, will best appreciate the intensely impassioned acting of Madame Celeste in the character of the Indian Girl. If none can de- scribe the Indian like Cooper, none can act the Indian like Madame Celeste. THE " BLOOMER" CosTums.—The economical ar gument is a common one with all reformers, from those in terested in forms of government, to others who tell of the advantages of water drinking. The Bloomers handle it with delight, and hope, doubtless, to produce a powerful effect upon husbands and fathers. A lady writing to the Pittsburgh Advertiser, enters into an arithmetical computa tion :—" There are eight millions of women in these United States old enough to wear the new costume.

A serious event occurred on the Buckinghamshire Railway on Saturday evening, by which no less than six persons lost their lives, and many were injured. Excursion trains left Oxford on Monday and Tuesday mornings for London, with the understanding that passengers could return at stated times as late as Saturday. On that day when the excursion train left the Euston Station for Oxford, it consisted of fourteen carriages, drawn by one of Stephenson's six-wheel pa tent engines. Some of the carriages were unoccupied. There were however about 200 passengers. The train left London at about five o'clock, and approached the Bicester Station at a rapid rate at about 7.30. On passing the "points" the engine became discon nected from the tender, went off the line to the right, knocked down the farther gatepost by the side of the turnpike road to Aylesbury, which crosses the line on the level, and approached close to the back of the station-master's house, which in all probability would have been forced down but for one of the rails becom ing twisted round the wheel of the engine, and the ponderous machine becoming embedded in the sand. Several persons who were by the side of the road as spectators were placed in imminent danger. Two or three, on seeing the engine off the line, ran under the porch of the house, to which the engine approached within a few inches. The three carriages next to the engine tender went off the line to the left, knocked down the opposite gate-post, and went over with a dreadful crash into the turnpike road. The scene was terrific, and can only be understood by those who witnessed it. The cries of the suffering passen gers, and of their friends who were waiting at the station, were appalling. From the station being so near the town the event was soon known, and many of the inhabitants forthwith hastened to the spot, and assisted to the utmost of their ability. The sad acci dent was forthwith communicated to Oxford. A telegraph message was also sent to the locomotive de partment at Wolverton fur assistance, and in about an hour Mr. Bedford, the inspector, arrived with a staff of assistants, and the necessary implements, &c., for assisting the sufferers, and righting the line, &c. The rails were found to be torn up. and impas sable. Some of the sufferers had thrown them• selves out from the carriages, others were unable 'o do so, and some were, it was evident, dead. The work of extrication lasted till morning. Mr. Al'Connell, the head of the I, , cornotive department at Wolverton, and Mr. Bruas, from the Euston Station, were at the scene as soon as possible. Mr. William Acton, surgeon, of 46, Queen Anne-street, Cavendish square ; and Mr. F. G. Wyatt, of 11, Queen-street, Oxford, a student of King's College, were passengers with the train. They immediately rendered every assistance in their power, and saw to the proper re moval of the sufferers. The resident surgeons were also soon in attendance, as were other professional gentlemen from Oxford and Winslow. Alderman Browning, of Oxford, one of the directors of the Buckinghamshire Railway Company, with other gen tlemen from that city, was at the spot in the course of the night. Every arrangement was made for the comfort of the sufferers. Several who were only slightly hurt proceeded to their destinations, but the injuries received by ten of the passengers were so serious, that they were forthwith removed to the King's Head, the Nag's Head, and other inns. The line was ere daylight made passable, but the engine and the carriage on the road had not up to that time been righted. The other two carriages were, from the crash and the sawing, to relieve the passengers, cut to pieces. The cause of the accident will form the subject of a legal inquiry, and it would perhaps be scarcely fair to give ,publicity to the rumours on the subject. The following persons are now lying dead at Bi cester, viz. : Corporal Noon, No. 63 of the 7th company of Royal Sappers and Miners, a promising young man, the son of a builder at Oxford. He had leave of absence from Kensington-barracks until Thursday next. Mrs. Shelton and infant child, of Ashley-place, Oxford. Elizabeth Easley, of about 18, from 2, Draper's place, New-road, London. Carrier a lad of 14, son of the engine -driver who had c harge of the engine at the time of the accident. The following are seriously injured, and are now lying at Bicester : James Luckett, a young man of about 24, who was on his way to Oxford. Life Guardsman Davies and his daughter. Mr. and Mrs. Bariogton, from London. Mr. Bailey, from London. Mr. Bolton. Mr. Smith, on his way to No. 1, Clarendon-place, Oxford. This gentleman will, it is thought, be able to proceed home this afternoon. A female of the name of Collis, from 53, Moorgate street, London, sister to Mrs. Shelton. A female of the name of Terry, on her way to Bull street, the Friars, Oxford, and Mr. Daniel Shelton, brother-in-law to Mrs. Shelton. Sir H. Verney, Bart., M.P., the chairman of the board of directors, visited Bicester this afternoon (Sunday) and made personal inquiries. Since the above was written poor Luckett has breathed his last. (OFFICIAL ACCOUNT.) An accident, attended with fatal consequences to several persons, occurred on Saturday evening to a return train from London at the Bicester station. The engine, in passing the points, appears to have taken the wrong line, became detached from the train, ran off the rails, and some of the carriages were overthrown. The information at present received is very scanty ; but we understand that a soldier, three children, and a woman have lost their lives, and that eight or ten ot h e r persons are wounded. The company's officers and a director of the Buckingh a mshire Railway were very shortly on the ground, a nd offered every assist ance in their power. The inquest will be held immediately ------ THE SPEAKER OF THE HOU.4E OF COMMONS,— 1 The Right Hon. Mr. Shaw Fefevre, Speaker of the House of , Commons, and his son-in• law, Sir Henry Mildmay, who sr. rived hero last week, in the course of a short tour in the Highlands, went south on Monday morning, by the Edin burgh Castle, Capta in Turner, alon g the Caledonian Canal , and proceeded tha t evenin g as far as Oban. —/nvern ess Courier.

According to the police returns, 12,672 persons visited the building during the day. - . . With reference to the lock controversy, we are glad to hear that Messrs. Bramah intend raising no captious objections es to the award of the arbitrators, having determined to pay Mr. Hobbs the two hundred guineas reward offered by them. The lock picked has been taken to pieces and carefully exa mined. The slide plates with which the r interior is provided show at several points the operation of a file, which Mr. Hobbs probably used in order to render the action of the key when introduced cer itain —one or two of them are also slightly bent. This, they contend, could not have been done if the plates l in question had been of steel instead of soft I iron. In all their recent locks steel has been used. but the lock opened was made 50 years ago, and has hung in their shop window ever since with the general challenge attached to it. Not only in the material of the slide plates, but also in the size of the keyhole, Messrs. Bramah contend that Mr. Hobbs had an advantege, the latter being much larger than in their present make, and giving the American extra facilities for the use of his picking instruments. Messrs. Bramah strongly protest against the insinua tion that their lock had been prepared for the recent trial, asserting that it bad not been taken to pieces previously for 3.5 years ; and they express their con fident expectation that in a fortnight their patent will he again exhibited in their shop window w i t h t h e former general challenge attached to it. We hear that the lock exhibited by Mr. Hobbs is itself to be imme diately tested by an English mechanic. With reference to the removal of goods from the Exhibition when it closes, it has been determined to leave exhibitor s almost entirely to themselves in that matter. Each must look after his own property, and get it removed as speedily as possible. The two blank days intervening between Saturday the 11th and Wednesday the 15th of October, will be devoted to the clearing of space for packing operations by the removal of carriages and such like bulky objects. During that quiet interval, also, jewellers and silver smiths will be allowed to take away the valuable ob jects contributed by them. While the arrangements connected with the close of the building and the dispersion of its contents are under final consideration Sweden is sending to Hyde Park a considerable augmentation of her produc tions. The things received.have not yet been com pletely unpacked, and cannot, therefore, be spoken of with confidence ; but among them is a stu pendous vase of polished granite, and a remarkable cannon, which is said to be intended for loading at the breech. There are also some fine specimens of furs, and some gilt chandeliers which yield to nothing of the kind in the Exhibition for simplicity and ele gance of design. In the French department of the Exhibition, at the entrance of the Sevres room, is an interesting collet. tion of Algerian products, upon which the following statistics with reference to that colony throw an in teresting light. " The augmentation of the European population of Algeria from March 31, 1850, to March 31, 1851, wad 16,529, of whom 6,286 were French, and 10,243 foreigners. The prospect of the alteration of the Cus toms' laws developed, however, during the last three months of the above year, a most striking example, thus —ln the first three months of 1850 only 176 French im migrants arrived; whereas, in the first three months of 1851, 2,096 made their appearance. " The rapid progress and capabilities of production in prospect of this new Customs' law are shown bytthe exports for the first three months of 1850 and 1851, comparatively, viz :—Wool, 530 and 1,122 tons; in tobacco, 124 and 928 tons; in tallow, 3f and 53i tons; in rags, 12} and 77i tons; in cattle, 1,005 and 3,905 head. " In 1850 the export of olive oil to France amounted to only 90 tons; but daring the first three months of 1851 it rose to 1,808 tons; and its the month of April alone to 837 tons. " The principal object of the law of the Ist of March last was to place the Algerine produce on the same footing as French, whereas, up to that time, it had been subjected to the same customs' dues, &0., as foreign produce." _ - Among the recent visits to the Crystal Palace should be noticed that of 34 boys and as many girls from the Brentford Union. A voluntary contribu tion of the inhabitants defrayed the expenses, and the example is well worthy of imitation.—Morning Paper. COWES, ISLE OF WIGHT. (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) CHALLENGE TO ALL THE YACHT CLUBS OE THE UNIT :D KINGDOM. It is not perhaps generally known that the cele brated American yacht " America," was not the pro perty of one individual, in fact was not a gentleman's yacht—hut was built by the members of the New York Yacht Club expressly to sail against the yachts of the Erigiish yacht clubs, to beat them and to be sold. She challenged them all and beat all that dared show to her—carried off the Royal Yacht Squadron Con, and wis then sold for a good round sum, 5,0001.!! ! The builders have returned to America to be r,•ady to act over the same Keno again next sea son. Will our yacht clubs be any better prepared next year ? iliE ROYAL YACHT SQUADRON. A proposal has been made to thr memh-rs of the Royal Yacht Squadron to act as the New York Club did, and to try to get a:yacht or yachts built to be equal in sailing qualities to any the Americans can send, but it has nu t y e t b een t a k en up w ith so muc h spirit as might have been expected. One gentleman has certainly come forward handsomely. C. M. Talbot, Esq., M.P., though he has as fine a yacht as any one can wish for ; she has every possible accommodation and comfort in her, a good sea boat and a floating mansion (the Capricorn schooner of 313 tons), he has offered to be 1,0001. towards the expense of building a yacht to be constructed entirely for swiftness, if two other gentlemen will put down 1.0001. each-3,0001. being fully sufficient for the purpose. This is a good beginning, and we have much pleasure in publishing it, hoping that our yachtsmen will be up and doing before next season, and put the abilities of our ship . builders and sailmnkers to the test.
