A New Enuasion Of Cuba-Rumors of a
project for q new invasion Of Cuba have been
for some time in circulation, but although they
did not escape our attention, we have not here.
tofore referred to them, imagining that they
had no foundation. However, they are repeat
ed in so many forms, and with such particula-
rity, that we begin to fancy there may be more
in them than we thought. The Washington
correspondent of the Charleston Courier-a
gentleman who Is generally correct in what he
states--in his letter Of the 18th, says:
"Kossuth's reception and his success in rails
ing money for revolutionary purposes, have
encouraged the enterprise against Cuba. A
considerable sum has been already raised by
the projectors of a new invasion ofCuba, upon
the issue of scrip. There are various rumors
as to the time when the expedition is to depart.
Should the attempt be one of favorable charac.
ter, it will excite the attention, and perhaps
provoke the hostility Of France and England.
itdoes not appear that either of those powers
have ever receded from the position they took
on this subject, when they issued orders to
their West India fleets to protect the Island Of
Cuba from any invasion from this country.
President Fillmore was very apprehensive at
that time, that a case might OCCUR of the inter.
!!uption and seizure Of some American vessels
BY the French or British squadrons. Should it
occur, 1t may raise a fame in the country

A Good One.-Sometime since tho Nah,
dist Episcopal ministers of New York metn

law asbeing opposed to the Scriptures. Th,

answered this ministerial document with pun.
gency, and closed his communication with an
extract from one of the church exposjtions "a,
the use of Sabbath Schools, as follows:
Who was Philemon?
He was a minister, a fellow.laborer with 81
Paul.
T. Who was Onesimus?
A slave of Philemon, who having robbedhs
master, runaway from him.
What became of Onesimus?
st Paul found him, and after being instr.
mental in his conversion. sent him back TO hs
master, not feeling it lawful to detain him.
The writer challenged these ministers Il
draw any other than the following conclusios
from this passage of a book which they tauat
in their Sabbath schools:
/. That Philemon was a minister.
2. That he was a STAKEHOLDER.
3. That his slave run away from him.
4. That St. Paul, another minister, fous
him and returned him to his master.
The effect produced by this communicate
was electric. People began to examine ia

Horse Racing in Aaly.--The following de.
scription of horse racing in Italy is taken from
NIGHTS travels:
The horses run without riders, and to urge
them on, little balls with sharp points in them
are hung to their sides, which, when the horse
is employed in the race, act like spurs. They
have also pieces Of foil fastened on their hinder
parts, which as the animal rushes through the
air, make a loud rustling noise, and friohtens
them forward. was much amused with the
horse races at Ancona. A gun is fred when
they first start that preparations may be made
to receive them at the other end. When thew
have run half way another gun is fired, and a
third when they arrive at the goal. To ascer.
tain without dispute which wins the race, across
the winning post a thread is stretched, dipped
IN red lead, which, the victor breaking it leaves
q red mark on his chest, and this red mark il
decisive. To guard the course, a great number
OF Roman soldiers under arms were arranged
on each side of it, from one end to the other.
The morning after the first race | was sitting
with the Governor, when a message arrived
from the general, requesting that the race might
De deferred to another day, as he thought the
weather too cold to put the troops under arms.
The Governor replied to him. "That a. the
weather was not too cold for the ladies', he
thought it was not too cold for the Roman SOL
dlers." l have seen a day which threatened

whom had an umbrella under his arm. the
