From Havana.

The steamer Ohio arrived at New York a
few days since from Havana. The news
brought by This arrival is rather interesting,
politically.
The Ohio brings $4,000 in specie and
gold dust, S75, 900 Of which are for VIM.
Hoge & Co., of N. Y. City, and the remain.
der being nearly all for the mint at Philadel-
phia.
Four steam, and three sailing friga tes, hav-
ing on board General Mirasol and staff, con-
sisting Of one Admiral of the Spanish navy,
General Amat Of Engineers, and several
other officers of rank Of the Spanish army
and navy, accompanied by four thousand
veteran troops to augment the military force
of the Island, are hourly expected at Havana.
There are various conjectures as to the OBJ
ject of this move on the part of the govern
ment at home, but it is pretty well under
stood that it is for the purpose of negotiating
with the President Of the United States, for
the sale of the Island or for protecting it
against invaders.
A disease supposed 10 be cholera, at Ha-
vana, being confined solely to the military
hospitals, was believed by many to be only
typhvs fever, while Others think that it is
cholera, and some that the troops had been
poisoned. AS we understand it this is Sc
cond outbreak, and not the one OF which we
have previously had intelligence.
Government had taken the precaution Of
sending all the troops from the barracks, sup
posed to be unhealthy, to the sugar estates
in the country.-Bdlt. Sun.

State of Germany.

The Washington correspondent ("X.m
of the Baltimore Sun, than whom no man
in America understands better German
affairs, thus speaks oflate private advices
from the continent Of Europe:
The news which has reached here by
private letters, from the continent of Eu.
rope, is exceedingly interesting, though the
papers contain but little worth noticing.
Germany is most unquestionably on the
eve of general revolution and bankrupt
cy. The revolutionary spirit has been
quieted for moment, but at such sncr-
fee of blood and treasure that the conquest
of monarchy is left without the means of
maintaining its advantages. Forced loans
are resorted 10 in the smaller States of
Germany, which induces the holders of
public bonds to exchange them for English
or American securities. The high quota.
tions Of British Consols are the conse-
quence of large purchases on the conti-
nent, and the high price Of American Sc
curities in London is accounted for in the
same manner.-In cnse Of an European
war, American SIS would no doubt fly up
to 25 or 80; as, in this case, even British
Consols te exchanged for certificates of
American loans.
The new elections in Wurtumburg, with
Austrian troops on the frontier, turned out
as follows Democrats, 40; in favor of
the King Of PRUSSIA, ! ccurtiers inclined
in favor of Austriu, 6. Democrats to
Monurchsts as Ito l. The political prob
lem IN Europe, as condensed in single
question, is this : How long will the max
imum Of revenue that can he raised under
the present system, suffice to support the
smallest standing army necessary to keep
the opposition in checkf The question
will soon receive its historical resolution.
"Nothing so short lived" said Edward
Burke, "as military despoiism."

rrsA Trade.

The labor Of nations cannot, by the wit of
man, be SO regulated as to prevent the pro-
dnction Of surplusses which must perish, or
must be changed with other nations for the
surplus productions whichtheir labor creates.
Andas If to make the hand Of Providence
more visible in this matter, and to proclaim
to mankind that they shall trade with each
other, mingle together, exchange ideas as
well as the products Of their labor, and thus
advance the progress Of civilization; nations
have been placed in different localities on
the globe, with different climates, producing
different products, all of which products
minister to the comforts and luxuries OF all
nations, and are, therefore, desired by ALL
Hence the exchange by one nation OF the
surplus products of its own labor, which 1t
does not want, for the surplus products OF
another nation which it does not want
These different localities and climates also
produce notifications Of the person, the
colour, and the mental constitutions OF men,
also modifying their skill in the arts, and
productions Of art. Hence one nation ex-
cells another in fanciful fabrics, while it is
sexcelled by Others in the more substantial,
thus creating almost an infinite variety OF
manufactures, and generating the same ne
cessity or desire OF exchange, trade and in
teTcourse. And thus is the great machinery
Of the world carried on--not upon the
narrow, contacted and contemplate theo-
ries Of tariff restrictionists, whowould abol-
ish ell trade and intercourse between nations,
and put an end to the progress of ciyiliza.
ton, but in conformity with the laws OF
Providence itself, which counteract and de-
feat the selfish and mischieyous purposes OF
ignorant or wicked men.

How TO MAKE WHiTEwAsH--As this is

pound Of white vitriol (sulphate Of zinc)
and one quart Of fine salt.
TO give this wash cream color add one
half pound Of yellow ochre in powder, To
give it fawn color, add a pound Of yellow
0chre, and one-fourth of Indian red.
To make the wash handsome grey stone
color, add one half . pound of French blue
end one fourth of pound Of Indian red.

An Lagsaious Suicidc.-Sir William Hank.
ford had been a we'll conducted man, but he
was Of a melancholy temperament, and ne
became tired oflife, notwithstandingthe high
position which he occupied, and the respect
In which he was held. He wished to shut
fle off this mortal COLL but he was afraid to
commit suicide in any vulgar way, at the
time when verdict of ftlo dc &c always
followed such an act, and the body Of the sup
posed delinquent was buried in cross road,
with stake thrust through it. He at last
esorted to this novelexpedient, by which he
hoped not only that the forfeiture Of his
goods would be saved, but that his family
would escape the anguish and the shame
arising from the belief that he had fallen by
his own hand. Several of his deer having
been stolen, he gave strict orders tohis keep
or to shoot any person he metwithin or near
the park at night tho would not stand when
challenged. He then, in the dark night,
threw himself In the keepers way, and, re-
5using to stand when challenged, was shot
dead on the spot. Campbelrs Chief Jastses

A New Idea.

The United States Life Insurance Com.
pany have conceived the novel project of
uniting the conveniences Of Banks for Saw
ings and of insurance upon lives. Ac-
cording 10 their system, assurances are pay
able to the persons taking out policies on
their attaining certain ages, and not as in
other companies, only upon the deceose of
the insured party. For example, per-
son "a years of age, paying $3.50 an
nually, secures $l 200 for his family if he
should die Immediately after effecting the
insurance; but if he lives to the age Of 40
years, no receives that amount himself,
with his share of the profits of all the bu-
sincss transacted by the company during
the whole period in which he has been in
suring. AT 81 years ofage, paying $46,2 20
annually, secures equul benefits, of the
same amount, on or before attaining the
age of so. Beginning at the age of 40,
payment of $45,70 per annum, secures
the same on or before attaining the age of
60; and youth IL years of age, may OBJ
tain the same advantages, at OR before the
age of 60, by the payment of $3.50 per
annum.
We have cited these cases to show the
practical operation Of this new system of
life insurance. The principle is judicious
combination of the Savings Bank and the
Life Insurance Company, ofording mme-
date protection to the family or dependents,
in the amount insured, and securing to the
insurer, if he lives, the full advantages of
IN investment Of money ut interest. 1t
secures from small savings, the means of
establishing business, or of producing a
homestead at periods of life when the ac-
complishment of either OF these objects
frequently become an absorbing topic OF
domestic solicitude ~ Y. Erening Post.
