A CARDINAL FOR PHILADELPHIA-In the last
foreign news it is stated that the Pope is about
to make some new cardinals, among which is the
s'Archbishop of Philadelphia" This evidently
refers to DIR. Kendrick, the learned Roman Cath
Ollie Bishop OF Phiadelp hia--and thus the friends
of Archbishop Hughes. who have been expecting
this honor for him, are disappointed, The foreign
item says:
The Pope was to have promoted to the dignity
Of Cardinals, at the next Consistory, the Arch
bishops of Munich Philadelphia, the Pontifical
Nuncio at Vienna, and the Minister of the Inte-
rior, Monsignor Savelli. The promotion, however,
Is to be postponed until November.

If Mr.. Mcdonald is elected Governor of Geor-

The Alexandria Gazette remarks with much
truth, that the attempt to make political capital out
OF the Cuba affair." must fail before an intelligent,
law abiding, patriotic people. Politics have
nothing to do with the subject, in any particular,
and, ifthey are to be mixed up with it, surely the
course of those who are striving to maintain the
faith OF treaties, the obligations of honor, and the
rules Of civilized nations, will be upheld and main
tanned. Passion and excitement have their day
but reason and Judgment come afterwards to
exert their sway upon the public mind. No un-
prejudiced man can justly charge upon the Ad-
ministra,ion any dereliction of duty, or any dev-
alton from propriety, in any manner connected
with our foreign relations; and especially in regard
to the efforts that have been made, from this coun-
try to invade and reyoutionize the island of Cuba
The recent occurrences that have transpired
there have been promptly attended to, and ordered
to be Investigated. If any thing has happened
there in violation of national law, or the comfy
of nations, we shall see what it is, and the wrong
will have to be atoned for or redressed. The
Executive can do no more, and it has done no
less.

4HE LONDON Tines CuBA AND THE UNITED
STATEs.The London Times has an article suggested
by the present state of affairs in Cuba and specializing
upon the possibility of independence:
1.-The Times thinks that if the revolution seriously
contemplated the amelioraton OF both classes in bon
dage the Creoles and blacks, there would be less
Tor renonsrance but it fears the rights and wrongs oil
the slaves form no part Of the scheme of CONQUEST
The Times regards the almost American tofslitv ri
parties to the llberating expeditons-the ore at maov
of them from the slave Saes-as satisfactory nroof thai
the freedom proposed for Cuba only means freedom of
the Creoles in Span and carried out would render the
condition OF the million slaves in Cuba worse than j,
now is.
"The opinion is advanced that though the South
unite in the crusade to strengthen its peculiar institu.
ton, the North and West of the United States will
oppose it, both from sense of justice and policy, and
determination to limit the bounds of slavery. For
eign powers the Times says will not see Spain inva
the United States i'll hardly adventure upon or coun
tenance an enterprise which might involve her in diff
ference with the European nations. 1t holds Lopez to
be tunctonary; restless revoutionst, who bred in
the camp, and sodier-like, ambitious OF nooliety has
enlisted small party OF discontinued spirts-such az
are TO be found in every country and that his
is not representative of the wish or the will OF the prsa
mass OF Cubans."
The Times also glances at the United States oti.
cal elements mixed up with the Cuba question: and sees
parallel with the case Of Texas and the Mexican ar
only that the involvement of the u States with Cubs
threatens worse results, since the non-nterference 81
European powers in behalf of Mexico would probably
not follow in respect to Cuba. England has a claim -
Tor debtagains SPAIN and Cuba offers about the only
security for it. This fact, the editor concludes. will

Commercial Contention in Richmond
The Petersburg Intelligencer of Monday takes
occasion to remind the citizens of that city that
the time for the meeting of this Convention is
near at hand and that they should by all means
participate in its deliberations. The lnteligencer
proposes that public meeting be held at the
Courthouse on Saturday night, the 9Th inst, for
the purpose of appointing delegates to the Con-
yention and gives expression to the hope that the
matter will be acted On in the right spirit.
The Salisbury (N. CO. Waterman of the 28th
ult, in alluding to the effort which we trust will
be speedily made towards the establishment of a
line of Steamships to run direct from James River
to Europe, says: ''There is little doubt of the
success of the undertaking; and as the enterprise
is certain to pay WE'LL and at the same time Sc
cures that independence of the North which the
South is beginning to feel as absolutely necessary
for her peace and security, it is hoped that the
Merchants of North Carolina will show a proper
concern on the subject"
We join the "Watchman" in the hope express
ed above and trust that the sMerchants of North
Carolina will show proper concern on the SUBJ
jeot' by attending and taking part in the deber-
atoms of the Commercial Convention which will
meet in this city on the 10th mat.
