SIR HENRY BULwER IN ENGLAND.

The happy style OF oratory remarks the Balti-
more American) for which Sir HENRY BULwER is
distinguished characterizes very beautifully his
speech at the entertainment recently given in Lon
don by Mr.. PEABODY 10 the American Commls-
sioners at the Worlds Fair and others. A grace
full RESPONSIVENESS, with felicitous application and
point diction easy, and at times familiar, yet al
ways choices statesmanlike comprehensiveness
of view, enlivened by convivial sprghtliness and
wit--these characteristics Of good taste and good
sense impart never falling charm to the table ora
tory of the British diplomatst.
On the occasion mentioned above Sir HENRY
concluded his speech in these words
The foundation Of our society 10 the United States and
Great Britain were religion and laws the purpose OF both
Governments was liberty and order Cheers.] lnasmuch

know will preserve it from destruction. Chees socialist
in the American Republic would be popular as ayorer Of
the divine right of kings in our own island. Hence Il was
that he was happy to see standing side by side the President
of the United State Repubce and his Queen sovereign Of
these realms Standing them side by side, they all stood
opposed to the anarchist who spoke the end Of The

Nominations.

Y The wings of the Judicial district compo-
sed of the counties of Ross, Highlend and
Fayette, have nominated GEN.. L. Green
for District Judge.
In Ross and Highland the wings have
nominated Samuel E. Hibben of Highland
for Senator. IKE. It.
The wings of Ross nominated, on Satur-
day last, Thomas T. Scott and Stephen ID.
Foulke, for Representatives.
We suppose that the wings in the western
portion of Ross are now satisfied, having
had Representative accorded TO them for
the first time within our remembrance, al
though they have asked it time after time and
been denied. The secret of the matter is
that the Chillicotheans were afraid repre-
sentative from that portion Of the country
would procure the passage Of a bill for The
erection Of the proposed new county Of Mas
sic but, as there is no danger OF this now,
Mr.. Foulke receives the nomination will
bu. little opposition. We may add that thu
new county, if erected, would have left "olt
Ross" Democratic, while Massie would have
been whig.

Further Particulars from Cuba.

NEW YORK. Aug. %.
The papers contain lengthy accounts from
Havana in relation 10 the Lopez expedition
and the prisoners, &c. 1t appears that Lo.
PEI landed on the 18th, and about 1900 men
Immediately joined him; some accounts say
they did so from fear, as be threatened ex.
termination il they did not; this latter is,
however the Spanish version.
A fight it is said occurred, in which many
of the Spanish troops were killed on The
morning Of the 18th, the Patriots had collec-
ted near Habaneros, with the intention Of
re-embarking, but were prevented, and
snoih-r conflict ensued, in which the Pa
triots were completely routed, and dispersed
into the mountains back Of Bahia Conda
portion attempted 10 escape in boats, and
these were they who were captured and exc

Another account states that in the engage
mpnt of the 18th, the .Spaniards were three
timrs rrpulsed with great loss, and that on
the l5lh. the liberators were moving to
wards Diego de Mulez and Habsnos, with
with the intention Of possessing themselves
of the fort at the latter place, and that some
so, in endravoring to get there BY sea, 10
launches, were captured, but none Of The
accounts give any intelligence Of where Lo-

that they would abide the decision of the
Convention, and support the nominees. d
The words in italic were no doubt added
by the editor for a particular purpose-or
else his me mory was terribly at fault. We
know oI several who did not so understand
the motion. To make csnlidstes for nomi-

Cholera in the canaries.

We had an account few days since from
the British Consul of the terrible fatality Of the
cholera onthe Canary Islands. AS late as the
1st July, it was still raging and producing a
degree Of mortality unwitnessed under similar
vsitations in any other part the globe. By
last accounts the deaths in Galdar place of
about $500 souls, range. from 4O to so per day,
and this is but one example of what happens in
the rest. In numerous instances death ensues
within three hours after the first attack; if the
patient survives the third day, there is hope
of recovery, Many families have entirely dis
appeared from the world, and others have been
most fearfully reduced.

Our neighbor of the Dispatch need not lay the
fattering JUNCTION TO his soul that the "ill-reel
ing" of which he speaks prevails 10 any con-
siderable extent III We never attended a
Convention where better feeling prevailed and
where candidates were nominated with greater
unanimity. I'll There appeared to be strong
disposition to sacrifice individual preferences
for the good of the whole, and we are much
mistaken in the metal of the wings of Scioto
county, if any Of them can be induced by the
Dispatch OF its aids TO fUrsake the whig ticket
because their particular preferences were not
gratifed. [3.] You can't feed the wings Of
Old Scioto on such chaff, Mr.. Dispatch A.

baited by their enemies. Roll on that ball,

l. To what extent the disaffection pre-
walls in the country we do not know, but that
it docs prevail TO "a coDsi derable extent"

3, The editor Of the Tribune & Clipper
must be aware, unless he had his ears stop
ped so tight he could not hear, that several
of the candidates received more curses than
votes, and that the " linderhanded gnne "as
some Of the wbigs temed ii, which they had
played to secure their names upon the ticket
will be remembered re at the ballot-box.
8. There was such "disposition but
many say that their preferences were sacri-
feed for the i'll of the whole. The Dispatch
has never tried 10 induce wings to lorsake

the disafTeetion among that party in this
county is according to us an influence which
the editor probably did not thinkof. We
advocate democratic, principles and would be
pleased to have every body support them,

Cuba--The Patriots.

The late ,o,rs fro,, 9Th. hoe excited the
deenest anx;ety in the American mind. and
feelings iustly indignant have been manifes-
ted at the barbarous slaughter, of fifty per
sons--a large majority of whom were Amer
;cans-who were found ON the Cuban coast.
This act alone is the first peal of the death
knell TO Cubanty tyranny. For every murder
ed person Of those fifty. one hundred men in
this country will fiy to the scene Of action
with the determination to ayenge the death
Of their friends and countrvmen. Our Gov
ernnient is right in discountenancing the fit
ting out Of expeditions Of the character Of
that under Lopez, but when such an expedi-
ton is once upon the open sea, we cannot
conceive what right it has to interfere, unless
the property of our citizens or the commerce
of the country should suffer from it.. The
government has endeasored to prevent the
expedition from being fitted out upon our
shores in accordance with our laws and in
justice to nation with which we are at
peace /; but for all this, it would seem, we re-
ceive nothing but insults to our flag and vio-
lations Of the persons and property Of our
citizens. Republics may be "unsrateful," in
some instances, but the sun never shone upon
grateful despotism, and we know of no
better plan to teach the Spaniards even COM
mon respect to our government and citizens
than that Of sending few shot and shells
about the ears of the Captain General and
his murderous crew. We shall see whether
the administration will coolly submit 10 the
insults offered or whether an apology and re-
dress of grievances will be demanded of the
Spaniards.
There is little use now in government en-
deayoring to prevent Lopez from being rein
forced, especially if he has been as successful
as reported. The sympathies of our people
are on the side of the patriots and numbers
will flock to the Island if Lopez can hold his
position for a short time. A government
that violates the sanctity of the domestic
hearth; that has an organized system Of es-
pionage, not only throughout its own jmis-
diction but in adjoining countries, whereby
