AN ANGLO FRENCH FLEET AT CUBA
The latest advices from Cuba state that the
arrival of several French and English war
vessels at Havana has greatly inspirited the
Captain General. He gives out that they
have come to aid in destroying fillibusters,
and destroying the puny Navy of the United
States, should President Pierce attempt to
blockade the Cuban ports.
Pezuela is lavish of his attentions to the
French and English officers, and even the
seamen get share ofSpanish civility. The
Spanish officials are wonderfully brave, and
talk defiantly of the Americans while their
supposed protectors are in sight. They think
that with very little assistance from France
and England, they will prove more than a
match for the Yankees.
Some of the more intelligent Spaniards
shake their heads at these boasts, and do not
conceal their opinion of the mad policy
upon which their Government seems bent.
They admit that the Island will be ruined if
Pezuela is not recalled and man of more
sagacity and prudence sent out in his place.
Nor have they any faith in the disinterested
friendship of France and England. Both
powers have been persevering enemies to
Spain. The one has sought to destroy her
nationality, and the other has robbed her of
her colonies, and made her its vassal. They,
therefore, say, if Spain is to lose Cuba, let it
go to the Americans.

How CANADA OBTAINED ITS NAME.-The
origin of the word Canada is curious enough.
The SpaniardS visited that country previous
to the French, and made particular searches
for gold and silver; and finding none, they
often said among themselves ''Acanada y
(there is nothing here.) The Indians who
watched closely, learned this sentence and
its meaning. After the departure of the
Spaniards, the French arrived and the In
dians-who wanted none of their company,
and supposed they were also S Spaniards, come
on the same errand-were anxious to inform
them that their labor was lost by tarrying in
that country, and necessarily repeated to
them the Spanish SENTENCE Acanada. p
The French who knew as little of Spanish
as the Indians, supposed this necessarily re-
curing sound was the name of the country,
and gave it the name of Canada which it
has borne ever since"

Batchelder was not as has been stated in
Congress, a regular deputy marshal, who
died in the discharge of necessary duty of
his office, in resisting the rioters, but mere
volunteer to the slave -catchers, as he had
previously been in the trial of Sims and
Shadrach. He was not constable, but

no such abasements as he voluntarily under

NIAGARA SHIP CANAL.-A map of the
proposed ship canal around the Falls of
Niagara, has been recently made, from which
it appears that the length of the work is to
be 253 miles, with fourteen double locks and
nine single ones. The harbor at Olcott con-
tains about ten acres below the first lock,
and between that and the second lock,
distance of about II miles, it is of the ca
pacity of from 300 to 500 feet. There are to
be two basins near the village of Lockport,
one containing about 40 acres and the other
about acres.

Richmond Examiner, embodied in an article
on '' Virginia and her libellers''
Virginia, in this confederacy, is the I'M

well-bred aristocrat. She looks down from
her elevated pedestal upon her parvenu, ig-
norant, mendacious, Yankee vilifers as cold

Gus questions OF civil. common, international,
constitutional, commercial. and municipal law,
which have arisen in the course of the admins
tration Of the government, and bearing, they
do, upon nearly every subject of civil polity and
jurisdiction, il necessarily follows that they are
scarcely inferior in importance the Constitution
which they defend, and the laws which they ex-
plain. They not only set forth the political econo
my and fundamental principles Of the federal gov
ernment, and the rules and regulations enforced
in its administration, but they aso define the
powers and duties. and, in many instances, the
compensation of its civil and military officers
The subjects Of national sovereignty, neutrality
exiradition. &C., are therein thoroughly discussed
and our revenue laws, land laws, patent laws

planned. il is, therefore, believed that public

veyors Of ports, naval officers receivers Of public
moneys, registers Of land Offices, Indian agents,
officers Of the army and navy, and, indeed, all
