English Horses. by late census Of
England The number OF horses in that
country has been found 10 have diminished
from 100000 10 100000 within The
last ten years in other words. the
Railroads have dispensed with the use Of
100000 horses, and these animals, as
well as oxen, are now scarcely used for
transportation. and thus the grain and
food of the 100000 horses formerly
consumed have been dispensed with, and
the land used for the growth Of hay and
grass is devoted to the growth Of grain
alone for the supply ofbread.

IMPORTANT CUBA NEWS.

We alluded this morning 10 the fact
that British war steamer had been plac-
ed under the command Of Commodore
Parker. now in The United States lrigate
Potomac. Both the Potomac and The
British steamer were about 10 leave
Jamaica for Havana, and the caused this
novel proceeding is founded on the fact
that new invasion Of Cuba is coniem
plated. This new expedition we are told
is TO rendezvous somewhere m the island
of Hayli. under Gen. Lopez. and attempt
lanaing al some port on the south side
cf Cuba--probably Trinidad.
Our information from Havana is that the
Government there has been made aware
Of every movement in this expedition, and
that there are in Havana many suspected
Americans upon whom double watch is
kept, and who Willie arrested lhemomeni
a landing is effected. We do not vouch
for The correctness Of all these rumors.
but they are believed To be founded on
fact by The authorities al Havana, and ss
such We give them TO the public.
NJ Y. Erpress Of Tuesday Ewning.
Information received by the New York
J" Express" from Havana, 10 the 20ih in

fact is stated by the " Express" we are
led 10 apprehcnd that some Of those Anne.

no proper business at Havana.

Intervention and Non-intervention.

The Union quotes copious extracts from va
rious productions 10 prove that the course here
tofore chalked out by Southern statesmen sex
tends no further than the broad doctrine of non
intervention" Very well, then, why is the
course Of policy recommended by the PREsI-
DENT denounced and vilifed by the Union, day
after day? That policy is non-intervention-
simple non-intervention-non intervention IA
good faith. But that is just what the Union
don't want What it does want, and what it
says the compromise will give, is such inter
yention under the name Of n-intervention, y
as will keep New Mexico and Utah from fol-
lowing the example of California, and coming
into the Union as free States-such uterpen-
ton as will afford time and opportunity 10
the Southern shareholders To test the soil
and climate Of those Territories; and if these
shall be found, upon experiment, adapted to
slave labor, TO introduce their slaves there
This Intervention, under the name Of ''non-iH-
tervention," is to be effected through the ma
chinery Of territorial govemments-the terri
torial legislatures being inhibited from passing
any law establishing OF excluding slavery. BE
IL understood, that we are not Directing TO the
restrictive clause in the 10Th section Of the
Compromise bill. What we desire to call at
tention to, is the denunciation by the Union, a
professed non-interventioner, Of the truly non
intervention policy recommended by the PREsI-
DENT, because il is not virtual Intervention
and the praises bestowed by the same journal
upon the so-called non-interrention Compro-
mise plan, which. according to the Union, will
have the effect Of Intervention 81 far as to pre-
vent New Mexico and Utah from coming into
the Union as free States for years to come
bringing along with them four Free soil Senators,
and 50 far as to afford time TO make slave States
Of them, il the soil and climate should prove
proptious to that end.
We detest hunibug, and like to hear things
called by their right names.

amendment proposed on Wednesday by Mr.. IN

and climate of these Territories TO slave labor,
and if they are suitable for that purpose, to in
: troduce your slaves there"
This is all hunabug, as the Union well
knows, and intended to deceive such of its
Southern readers it supposes are weak
enough to be duped in that way. The Union
does not believe that Southern masters will
avail themselves of the opportunity which, il
alleges, the Compromise bill will afford TO them,
Of trying ''the experiment of introducing their
slaves into New Mexico and Utah, because it
knotos that they know that the experiment
would be too hazardous and costly for them to
try.
But granting, for the sake of argument, that
the Union is sincere in the belief that under
the Compromise plan Southern masters will
have fair opportunity of. introducing their
slaves into New Mexico and Utah, provided
''the soil and climate" shall be found adapted
TO that species of labor, il is impossible that it
pertinent should be seriously attempted by
the South, the North would be quiet while
it was going on. Why, the moment there
should appear to be the slightest probability of
New Mexico and Utah becoming slave States,
under ''the experiment"-so fine an opportu-
nifty for trying which, the Union says, is Sc
cured by the compromise plan--the moment,
we say, that the introduction of slaves into those
Territories should be attempted, and prove
likely to be successful, storm would arise
which would sweep over all of the on-slave-
holding States, bearing down every man Of
rest its progress, and which would ultimately
force upon Congress the enactment of the pro
yiso In this event, what would be the UiliOn's
remedy? Disunon and civil war? In such an
event, il has no hesitation in now saying, ''that
the time will have come when the people of
gression, and they will be justified in mar
shalling all their strength for their protection"
And now, in conclusion, let us sum up the
consequences which may result from the adop-
tion of the Compromise plan.
|. The plan, according TO the Union, will
afford time and opportunity to the Southern
shareholders to test the adaptation to slave labor
of the soil and climate of New Mexico and
Utah, and, if the result of the experiment
should justify it, of carrying their slaves thither.
2. To this.we reply, that that experiment,
particularly if there should be the slightest
probability Of its proving successful, would
arouse the whole of the non-slaveholding States
TO determined and united effort, without re-
spect to party, to force upon Congress the enact
ment of the proviso; and that, having the
strength, they would, in the end, carry their
point.
3. Then, argues the Union, the time will
have arrived for the South to draw the sword,
throw away the scabbard, marshal its forces,
and resort to the arbitrament of arms.
And yet the Union is vehemently and in
cessantly urging the adoption of the Compro-
mise, on the ground that it will allay all agi-
tation on the subject of slavery, and "givc
peace to a troubled land!" Truly may the
grounds upon which that plan is supported by
the Union entitle it to be called ''the humbug
of the day."

Tn, Hpmbur Of the nay.

The Union is most industriously employed
in stultifying itself and insulting the intell-
gence of its readers by vehemently urging the
adoption Of the Compromise plan upon grounds
which are wholly irreconcilable with each other
To the South il says in substance: '1f that
plan be not adopted, you will scarcely have
an inch Of land TO expect New Mexico and
Utah will follow the example Of California,
and come into the Union as free States, bring
ing with them four Free-Soil Senators to crush
you; and you will thus be shut out TO any ex-
pertinent Of your slave property. Whereas,
: il the Compromise pass, you will have album
dance Of time to test the adaptation Of the soil
