London Leader, of the 9th instant, an able and
highly respectable journal of the liberal school;
Terms for the Sale of Cuba.-On authority
which We believe to be quite trustworthy, we
learn the terms Of the negotiation now going
on, in London, for the sale of Cuba to the Ame-
rican Government. 1t is anticipated that Gen.
Lopez will be repulsed but after the Spanish

round sum of money. More than one douceu'
will be given-among others, an immense sum
to the Queen-mother of Spain. But the mos
remarkable bonus is the allotment of half the
purchase money to the English holders Of Span
ish bonds.
1t is said that Lord Palmerston dislikes these
terms. Cyeddt Juddeus.
We do not know how far the late explosion
In Cuba and New York will effect this negotia-

We believe in luck, and especially in Latham's

choicest fall on Latham He was born to good
luck, and has never disposed of his birthright.
We have to-day seen a WALKING Stick, cut
from the old iron-braced mulberry tree at the
Hogarth House, Chiswick England, and sent
as a present to "R. W. LATHAM, esq, the libe-
raj and successful Banker Of Washington, "
whose fame, we are proud to know, has reached
the opposite shores Of the broad Atlantic.
The mansion in which the immortal HoaARTH
lived and died is at the ancient town Of CHS
wick, on the Thames, about six miles west OF
the Crystal Palace. 1t was formerly the resi-
dence of Sir James Thornhill, with whose
daughter Hogarth fell in love and it was from
the window shaded by the boughs of this glori-
Gus old tree that "tbe great painter Of man
kind" stole his future wife
Horarth's subsequent fame induced Sir James
to invite the young couple to the homestead

of this gigantic mulberry it was Hogarth's won
TO imbbe his beer and inspiration, and amust
himself with bis faithful dog Pompey, and bird
Dick. Here, too, Hogarth reached the noblest
point Of art, and conceived those moral pictures
which charm the mind and through the eye
correct the heart.
We admire this present. No man deserves
these tokens Of appreciation more than Mr.
LATHAM; for who is blessed with kinder

cellor s. Barber petitioned the Superior Court
Of New London county, Conn, at the August
term, for divorce from his wife, Phoebe A., on
the ground that she is guilty Of habitual intern
perance and the excessive use Of morphine,
which, under the Connecticut statute of 1849,
furnish good cause Of divorce Judge Church
has denied the petition, for the reason that the
practices complained of were encouraged by the
petitioner himself, and the result Of his own
fault and negligence.

DEATH OF A MIssIoNARY.-The New York
Tribune announces the death of the Rev. VIM.
I. BIpDLE, which occurred in that city on
Wednesday, at the house Of Rev. John Bowling,
D. D., where he was awaiting his departure for
Burmah in few weeks. Mr.. Biddle was a
young man of great promise, of whom high
hopes had been formed; his personal worth was
not inferior to that unassuming merit which
made him bright example Of unobtrusive but
efficient usefulness. Circumstances of pecu-
liar and affecting nature make his death an
occurrence of unusual interest to the public.
Five weeks previous to his death he was or
dained, the day following he was married, three
weeks ago he graduated with honor at Hamilton,
and in q short time was expected to leave his
native land for his field of labor as a missionary
in Burmah. His labors are ended here On
Friday last he was attacked with complaint
in the throat, which assumed malignant type
on Tuesday, and he closed his eyes in peace
and hope on Wednesday morning.
