From Cuhs.-Ws have again, this morning,
private advioss from Cuba. They ars to the
18th inst, the Wy latest received any whore.
Our correspondent in Havana, than whom NO
man on the island IL better informed, feels
certain that tho day for the Independence Of
Cuba IL rapidly approsehing. He is sure that
the disafsotion TO the Government 10 now far
greater than ever before, and that the Creoles
have very generally Of late managed to pro.
cure effective srmA while critical sxsmina-
ton Of tho Governments means Of dsfencs,
made By the chiefs Of the patriot organization,
has satisfied them that their plans must sue
coed. We shall certainly not be surprised a
any time within tho next three months to hea,
Of revolution there, and that the revolution
lists hold all. tho island except . few fortified
positions, long enough to make armed emigra-
tion from tho United States to Cuba lawful
procedure, the emigrants taking tho chances
Of capture on the way.
spsculatiens In Public Lands.-A Wash.
ington correspondent Of the Baltimore Sun
pronounoes it almost impossible 10 prevent
false presumption locations under tho gradua-
ton law. This law, it will b recollsctsd, putt
tho price Of tho public lands longest In the
market down to 12} cents. On tho 30th Of
October, tho General Land Office issued cir.
cular, which being observed at the various
land Offices, can hardly fail to operate - an
effective bar against tho acquisition Of good
titles to any locations Of lands under the grad
uaton law not made In strict accordance with
the spirit Of tho provisions thereof. This
particular law provides in detail against locs-
tons under 1t, except to actual settlers, those
designing to become actual settlers, or persons
disposed to increase the sise of their farms
adjoining tho tracts Of plblio lands which
they desire to take up. The circular in ques-
ton was to carry out this feature Of that leg
islation.
The Kew York Guberpatorial Eection.-
It il now reduced to certainty that the 10.
port of tho State canvassers can alone settle
this knotty question. Tho county canvassers
in some counties of tho State, according to
their custom, have thrown out votes for &" q. -
Seymour, instead of &c Horatio" Seymour. The
State canvassers, to whom these votes arc 70
turned - for different person than Horatio
Seymour, are expected, according to their
custom, to oount them for tho latter. Gov.
ernor seymour's friends here and in New
York, feeling assured that there are enough
such votes in existence to secure his election
arc perfectly easy, under the multiplicity Of
conflicting rumors on tho subject which we
have had from Albany Of late.
