Messrs. Turbutt and Overend, the Conservative
candidates for East Derbyshire at the las t election, were on
Thursday entertained at a banquet at Ohs eterfield. Mr. Tur-
butt said that so long as the unholy sllianoe between Popery,
Radicalism, and Dissent inaugurated by Mr. Gladstone
misted they would not be satisfied with the destruction of
the Irish Church, but would make an attack on our own
Church, and on one thing after another until there would
aot be an inch of the Constitution left, or anything that
rendered the country worth living for or dying for.
We learn from the Manchester Guardian that
'' negotiations are being secretly carried on between the Go-
vernment of the Regent and that of President Grant for the
renunciation by Spain of her sovereign rights in Cuba.
America would gladly pay a large sum for the possession of th e
Island ; but, without the consent of the inhabitant; this
transfer would hardly be recognised by England or France.
The project, therefore, is to declare Cuba independent, and
:o secure her neutrality until such time as a majority of the
:reoles may see reason for casting in their lot, for better for
worse, with the United States.

elon to execute a large statue of Cromwell, the condition
being that the corporation of Manchester should find a
%liftable site for it—inside the now Town-ball being pre-
ferred. The Town-clerk was authorised to assure Mr. Noble
let the council would gladly find a site for the statue in the
