WAR WITH SPAIN.-Many OF our colem
porarics have settled down in conviction
that war between the United States and
Spain. growing OUT Of the Black Warrior
affair, is inevitable. The Baltimore Times,
of Monday, in lengthy and able article on
this subject, alter saying iha. England and
France will encourage Spain in an unreason-
able course, in order to enable those powers
TO slip oul Of the Eastern question with some
show of consistency, and that Mr.. Soule was
sent 10 Spain 70: the single purpose of oh.
laning Cuba, concludes as follows:
ITO believe iha, our minister q, Madrid
will use his power 10 smooth down the diff
cul'ies which we anticipate, and obtain mea-
sures ofprudence, or Cancellation would not
be warranted by his pas. history, or open
and priva,e declarations in regard TO. Cuba.
If Mr.. Mason or Mr.. Cass were a, Madrid,
the question would be amicably settled, bu,
MIR. Soule does not care TO settle il. He is
there to seek every possible preiex. for diff.
Guilty with Spain, by which we may acquire
Cuba. An6 ii is our deliberate conviction
that he will so present the matter 10 the au.
lhori.es Of Madrid as 10 induce them 10 re-.
jec, his propositions. thus giving him The op.
porsuni.y Of demanding his passports. We
know the man-his anteceden,s--his ambi-
bi,ion--hs views in regard 10 Cuba, and the
object and purposes Of his mission. The
moment, therefore, we saw that the whole
matter was entrusted 10 his sole keeping,
and learned that he had been appealed 10
through private letters from leading men in
and out Of Congress, not 10 allow Spain 10
escape, but TO force an issue, we regarded
war as inevitable. The possession by the
United States Of Cuba, Soule's future posi-.
lion and popularity, depends upon his crea.
ting this breach between the TWO naIions.--
And he will do il too,"

The London correspondent Of the New
York Times, makes the following singular
speculalions in his last letter:
| understand that Kossu,h. Mazzini, and
The other revolulionisis, who bide their lime,
are rather pleased than otherwise with the
intention, or The inclination, of Austria to
join issue against Russia. II is true that
such an action renders il impossible lor them
10 take up arms in the Turkish cause, but
they have better hopes from Russia herself.
Their calculation is that Nicholas, seeing
himself menaced and imperilled, will say to
Hungary, "Come, strike for your indepen.
dence, and I'll help YOU" Such move.
menI would strike terror into Austria, and
her possessions in Italy would q, oncce rise
in revolt, and revolution would by this
means be brought into the hear, Of Europe.
Ii is the fear Of this that renders Aurlria so
unwilling and so vacilaling; and ii is YET un-
certain which calse she will espouse.-
Should she declare agans, Russia, i, is no,
improbable that Hungary may declare for
Russia, in The single design Of thus finding
herself face 10 face with Austria, with a
heavy power to back her. |, certainly would
not be more extraordinary than TO see
France and EnglaRd the close allies lha,
they are. a(ler having been for centuries
eager rivals and bitter foes; Than 10 see Eng.
land and Russia, bu, lately uni.ed against
a Napoleon, now>spit assunder BY Napo.
Icons nephew; than 10 see the hopes of
nearly The whole Of Chrislendonl, ben. upon
the triumph Of the Crescent; than TO see the
Unised States, who, thirty years ago, could
find no execralions, no analhemas, 100 strong
10 express their adherence Of The savage
cruellies praclised by The Turks upon The
Greeks. now having deserted, 10 man, 10
the banner they so laiely reviled and out
lawed. To see Russia and Hungary united
agans, Austria would be bat natural, after
having seen Russia and Austria united
agains. Hungary. A curious choice of part.
ners all around in this dance of death.

The first viii 60 for the amendments, the
others will probably bc about baIanccd'-
The vote OF the first proposition, TO abol-
iah th1 registry tax, is 50 close that we are
unable to say whether it has received tho
constitutional majority or not. The proba-
5ity is that ii has, but that there will not
be twenty votes TO spare. The second,
extending the time Of registration Ito with
in twenty days Of voting, is lost. The
third, relieving the town clerks of The duty

tainIy adopted. The fourth, vcsting the

~. Mr.. William A. Sweet has been pre.


scnting the bills of the Traders Bank in lhi1
city, at their counter, for several days past
and demanding the specie for them, which
has been promptly paid by The Bank. The
reason for this course on the palt Of Mr.
Sweet, is that Mr.. Mumford, the Cashier
of the Bank, recently complained Of Mr..
Sweet for an alleged violation OF the Maine
Law ; and he adopts this means with the
hope of compelling the Directors Of the
Bank to dismiss Mr.. Mumford. Now we
are entirely opposed to Mr.. Mumford in re-
gard TO the Maine Law, and we think that
he has been unwise if bringing himself in
direct conflict with alleged yoators of the
Law, as in Mr.. Sweets case, inasmuch as
he is an officer in public institution but
that is an affair of his own, and he has u
right to pursue such a course if he thinks
proper These thing, are mere matters Of
opinion. Running the Bank does not affect
Mr.. Mumford personally, and however
much the Directors may dsnpprove of Mr..
Mumford's course,i they do, in making
himself complainant under the Maine Law,
means like The one now rcsortcd to will not
be likely to influence the Directors at all
against him; on the contrary, il is but natu-
raj to conclude that they will not be dictated
by any one. y regard to retaining or dismiss
ing one OF their crs,-bacausc, if they
were influenced in case like this, they
might be. called upon to yield to similar hue
and cry on dictaton for some other cause -
Mr. Mumlorl is an honest man.in his business
ing and valuable Cashier We have no
sympathy with his i,ms, and his course in
favor Of ho Maine Law; we think him al-
together wrong, and still he is fully entitled
TO his opinions on this, rs on all other quea-
iions the day: we think il would b, more
prudent and polite for him, in consequence
OF his position in the business community,
not to make himself a ompanant' in these
liquor cases, when there are other Maine

presented there is not safer or sounder
Bank in tho United States than the Traders,
or one that is paying iiairer diyidcnds,--and
the only cause for this small run is as we
have stated. II Mr.. Sweet or any other man
does not like Mr.. Mumford's course, let
them settle their differences with lin person

Houses of the General Assembly on Fri
day -
Where's, the waters of Narragansct
Bay afford peculiar advantages for depot
for National Marine, suited not only TO
the present but to the future exigenccs Of
the United States land whereas it is UNDER
stood that the several Commissioners here
toforc appointed to make reconnossances
thereof for that purpose under the direction
Of the Navy Department, have uniformly
recommended to the government such
an establishment within the jurisdiction of
this State, and whereas the demand which
n Navy Yard would create not only for the
manufacturing iudus,y but for the pro-
ducts of the sol! would cminCntly contribute
TO the general prosperity of the citizens of
the State as, well AS 10 serve to strengthen
their relatiojs with the other members Of
the Federal Union, Therefore
Resolved, That in case the Government
Of the United States should deem it cNpc-
dent TO establish Naval Depot with this
State, the General Assembly will consent
t. the purchase Of any land that may b. re-
quisite or convenient for the erection Of
dock yards and other necdiul buildings con-
