CUBA-NEw YORK HERALD. &c.

The news from Cuba has made profound i'm

Union. An opportunity of purchasing Cuba was
offered, under Folks Administrations when a few per-

washington for that purpose. The transfer could
then have been made quietly, and without creating
any suspicion the part of other European powe rs
but Mr. Polk considering the price high, higgIed
about II, and spoiled the whole undertaking by COM
hitting to Mr.. Saunders, Minister in Madrid the
task of striking advantageous bargain Mean
while the thing was blown, and the want of diplo-

The above statement is unfounded and untrue. We
know nothing, officially. of what transpired during
the residence of Mr.. Saunders as Minister at Madrid
but we know the private feelings and views of that
gentleman in regard to Cuba well enough to feel
selves justified in saying that had there existed the
smallest prospect, or had the Ministry given the
slightest intimaton of disposition treat for the
transfer of the Island the United States or any 9TH
er power, Gen. Saunders would have taken the re-
sPonslbty of closing a treaty Without regard to
price Instructions And feel further authorized
to say, in the explicit manner, that no agent of
the Spanish government came to Washington during
Mr.. Folks administration, for any such purpose and
If the leterwrter knows any thing onthe subject, he
ought to know that such statement is utterly des-

Washington City, and has provided large number
of its pews for the service of the poor large pro-
portion of the congregation is of that character and
the Rector has oiciated for many years without

and Mr.. David MyerIe, the Agent appointed to collect
funds for the liquidation of this debt, and who gives
his services CONTINUOUSLY, is now in this City from
his visit in the South, where his appeal has been
cheerfully and literally responded to.
We bespeak for Mr.. Myere the kind affection of
our citizens, and we hope they will not be backward

WELL ANSWERED. Soon after the revolutionary

determination to quiz him. She fastened upon him
like tigress, making numerous inquiries touching
our habits, customs, dress, manners, modes of life,
education, amusements, SC. TO all these queries, the
officer gave courteous answers, which seemed to sat-
sfy all the company with the exception Of the lady
herself. She was determined not to be satisfied and
she went ~ Have the rich people in your country

The pilot in taking her into Bahia Honda, happened

The CAPTURE OF LOPEZ. The n. Y. Journal of
Commerce learns from private letter written to a
young man in New York by his relative in Havana,
that. previous to his capture, Lopez was wounded,
having sustained the loss of by shot. We
have yet to be assured, however, thai Lopez has been
captured all. The Journals story is not confirm
ed in any quarter. 1t is extremely improbable that
the Governor of Cuba would nave made any secret of
event so well calculated, the capture of Lopez
would have been to discourage the efforts Of the eVo-

This proposal of the High Church party is an
act of desperation. They well know that for %
years the people have demanded the seoulariza-
iion of these lands. When that party can no
longer maintain its exclusive claim, it calls upon
all other denominations which it has hitherto sys-
tematically villified, to assist to obtain about
500 600 acres OF the lands. But the scheme will
not take although II will OF course be tried at the
next general election. Connected with this
Clergy Reserve movement is another in Lower
Canada OF great importance. The Protestant
population in that section OF the Province insist
that if the Protestant Church property be secular
ICED, or as they call it, conhscated, the hom0n
Catholic Church property ought TO share the same
fate And this is at least plausible argument.

Catholic institutions in Lower Canada have an
