siton from Msssrs. Aspinwsl to charter her for
year, for the sum Of 500 0O0 payable at the of
5000 per month. The decision Of the stockholders
has not yet been announcsd but the difficulty appears
to be- that they want their present officers to remain
board, and that Messrs. Aspinwall wish to put
officers board II the contract Is closed she will

Great Britain had saved the 400 100000 sterling
which she had spent soldiers and sailors since the
peace, with her burthens so much lightened her f.

or less pacific than she is at present
We apprehend, says the Examiner, she would be
much less so, and that she would in fact be much
more belicose. Having waxed fat, she would begin
to kick as has been often sad our debt binds us over
to good behavior and the large expenditure for the
army and navy keeps from emerging from the
debt which is so pacific In its effects X 1t should
follow from this that Governments are ndisposed for
war in proportion to the magnitude of their arma-
ments and that they may increase their forces until
they become as passive, tame and placable as Qua

Messrs. IHoNARD SCoTT & Co.'S American edition
of the North British Review for November, is on our
table It contains good many interesting articles;
one the romance of in India and very able ar
ticle upon the temporal supremacy of the Pope.
Messrs H. LoNG & BROTHER, New York, have sent
us g The Amber Witch and the g Cardinals Daugh-
teri The first is a tale translated from the German
In tone and manner it resembles that universal IA
yorite "The Vicar of Wakefield" The Cardinals
Daughter is historical novel of the times of HENRY
the Eighth But for the name of the author, Mac
KENzIE DANIEL, we should suppose that it was by IT,
PR. JAMES, as it opens with the {" Two Horsemen."
Price of either of the novels, 25 cents.

Policy OF THE SPANIARDs IN CUBA-In this island
the spy system exists to extent that not out
done Venice in the worst days of her aristocracy
The following incident has been related to us by a
friend recently returned from Havana:
"a short time ago two young men were discussing
political affairs in the Longa (Exchange) coffee
house in Havana The tone of their remarks was
temperate but not exactly friendly to the Govern
ment. On sudden they were joined by third par
ty, who, whether by design ndiferently, it is
known, bid them both speak out more decidedly How
far they proceeded is Of course unknown, but at 10
o'clock the same night one was in the Moro and the
other at the Punta-prisons. The third the
spy, and remained at liberty 49,. ..r
But the subjoned is still worse:
1t intended in of invasion of the island.
during the late excitement to let loose the slaves
the invaders, and indeed on the whites indiscrim-
inately. This was fixed plan with the Governor,
and it was partially approved by majority of the
men by whom he is surrounded. The natural fear
that when these slaves were once armed admitting
that they were successful-they would turn the
officers of the Government themselves in order to
cure the freedom thus given them through revenge,
was amply discussed but it did not change their de-
termination
