SEPT. 7.—The Lone Star movement
is getting to 46aani formidable affair. A new and com-
pletely orgeld expedition against Cuba is prepar-
ing, and unless my sources of idformation are far leas
relialke than I suppose
concerning th'e political ' some events 9
fortunes of Cuba are likely tonce
take place during the coming fall and winter. Let
me arst of all enumerate facts.

expedition may have been, his fate

a large class of our people, and the resolution
avenge his death has never slept.

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-
turgedito tell not the history of the rights they had
infAbEid, but of the—wrinigs they had suffered.
Among them wereemen from almost every one of
our 31 states. Each had near connexions and rela-
tions with thousands that knew and loved him ; and
when these thousifnds of districts to hear of the
brutality of the Cuban GoverKment—the death of
Lopez in the public square by the garrote, and the
shooting of half a hundred Americans in the back,
after they had been compelled to kneel—all these
recitals stirred an indignation in the hearts of our
people which cannot be appeased except by the ex-
termination of Spanish power from that_ island.
2. The 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—

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
rifles, which hold but six rounds, but Jenning's (re-
cently invented), which carry 24 charges, and can,
in experienced bands, be shot '24 times in less than
60 seconds.

4. Besides the wealth and social respectability of
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. Among
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, was a
modern man, of which Spain has had so few. His
arrival was the daybreak of a brighter period for
Cuba. So 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
offenive and the most oppressive monlpolies of the
island 9. 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 oilla year longer, he would have
utterly exterminated that accursed traffic. But, on
authority which I chnnot reject, I learn that the
suspension of these crimes and 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 gone back
to the old system ; and now crime, corruption, and
villanv fill the island, and the slave trade has not been
in so flourishing a state for twenty-five years. You

So say the Lone Star men ; and there is certainly
some force in all this. It is, at all events, persua-
sive, and every day brings them the adhesion of
hundreds.

Til E EARLY CLOSING ASSOCIATION.—A numerously

of employers and assistants, residing within
at Lawson's ROOlll5, Gower-street, to take
into eansideration the best means of promoting the early
chasing of chops generally, and for the transaction of other
business. Mr. Elliker occupied the chair. The financial
statement of the association showed that, up to June, 1852,
the receipts of the association had been 9091. 16s. 10d. The
payments amounted to 4981. 17s. 2d., leaving a balance in
the hands of the bankers of 4101. 19s. Bd. The Chairman,
in opening the business of the meeting, stated that the mon-
strous system which the shop assistants laboured under
would long since have been swept away if they had all

Clair proposed the first resolution, which pledged the meet-
ing to do all in its power to check the system of late closing:
Mr. Shipton seconded the resolution, which was carried una-
nimously, and several other gentlemen having addressed the
meeting, the proceedings terminated.

THE ELECTRIC TELEGRAM—Yesterday a new
line of pipe was being laid down along the Strand to con-

Parliament, and the Telegraph station at Charing-orosa.
