Spain and the United States,

"Grund," the Washington correspondent
ofthe Baltimore Sun, in his letter to ,ha
paper of the 4th inst, says:
The news from Spain is very satisfactor,
indeed. The young and loving Queen Isa
bella the Second, is determined to have NJ
quarrel with the United States, and in M
case to part with Mr. Soule. She has frs
graciously vouchsafed TO remit the fine O
$4,000, imposed on Messrs. Tying & Co.. The
American consignees of the Black Warrior
in the Havana, who SO impIoringly threw
themselves at Her Majesty's pretty little
feet.
I'd. She has promised, during the admin
istration of Gen. Pierce. to be his kind and
dutlful neighbor, and so regulate the affairs
OF the pearl OF the Antilles, as to give neither
our government nor our citizens cause oil
complaint.
Sd. An enemy to war, and fond of good
long peace, Her Most Catholic Majesty
will not interfere with the carnage in the
East, being as likely TO be moved to pity by
Russian or Turk.
4th. Preferring straightforward Young
America to Old John Bull and vacillating
johnny Crapeau she will not enter into any
treaty with either or both of them for the
projection OF Inc lSland OF CuOa: anu
5th. She will not blacken her fair reputa-
ton by attempting to Africanize any thing
that belongs to her, and least of all, the
Island of Cuba.
Now, what can we do, under these cir
cumstances, but to kiss and make up-at
least, SO far as that ugly vessel, the Black
WARRIOR and the commercial piety of
Messrs Tying & Co. are concerned! There
may still be some bonnie bouche in store for
u.s. but for this we must wait the setting in
of cooler weather. So the project of sending
commissioners to Madrid is not yet aban-
doned: it is merely postponed for the pres
ent. There is time enough to insert the
required item without talk. in the civil and
diplomatic appropriation bill.
The finances ofSpain are in such disorder,
that the Queen will have to part with some
of her Jewels to meet the current expenses
OF her kingdom. In this case it is but rea-
sonable to suppose that she will be quite as
ready to Sell pearl as diamond. There
is price for everything, and a way of
e1ecting transfer which may give salts
faction all round.

A British Aristocrat.

Henry William Paget, Marquis of An
glescy, whose death was announced in the
last news from England, beside being a
great soldier in his day, was the hero of
about the richest piece of scandal that was
ever rolled like sweet morsel under the
tongue of London fashion. One of our CO.
temporaries gives some of the facts in brief
( The Marquis was divorced from his first
wife, who was daughter of the Earl of
Jersey, and he subsequently, married the
daughter of the Earl of Cadogan.
His divorce and re-marriage. and the cir
cumstances attending them, illustrate the
manners and morals Of the court during the
prohigate reign of the Regent.
Henry Wellesley afterwards Lord Cow
ley, and brother to Wellington had brought
an action against him to recover dana ges
for the seduction of his wife. The trial
came on, Lord Paget admitted the charge,
by declining to offer any defence, and in
structed his counsel to take no steps to
mitigate the damages if it could be sup
posed that any sum jury might give, would
compensate Mr.. Wellesley for the deep
wrong he sustained. Damages to the
amount of 100000 were awarded. Nor was
the pecuniary loss all His own wife sued
for and obtained divorce from him. Lady
Charlotte Wellesley daughter of the Earl Of
Cadogan) was divorced from her husband
and thrown upon Lord Paget, who married
her whom he had degraded and disgraced.
He had to fight duel with Captain Cadogan,
the lady's brother. Not the least punished
was the no,oriety All the fashionable "
newspapers of London reaped harvest out
of the scan. mag. which transpired, and not
only paragraph makers, but Moore and
Byron neither Of whom had any excess Of
morality at the time) assumed the part Of
censors, and put him into the "amber chrys-
tallization" satirical verse. Lord Pagets
marriage with Lady Charlotte took place
in 1910, and his own divorced wife was
married some time afterwards, to the Duke
of Argyle. Many years later when society
had forgotten or forgiven these transactions,
the ladies and gentlemen involved in this
intricacy of seduction, divorce and mar
rage, used actually to meet on terms of
friendly acquaintanceship in the fashiona-
BILE drawing rooms Of London life!

CURIOUS CALcuLAT1oN.-The ocean, ac-
cepting the supposed average depth of it as,
1000 feet, contains q, oOo, 900 Of cubic miles
of water, and to fill its basin would require
all the rivers of the earth pouring their
waters into It for forty thousand years. The
amount ofheat received from the sun every
year, would suffice to melt crust Of ice
thiry-two feet thick, enveloping the whole
earth. According to the technical Teck-
oning, the solar heat which annually raises
the sea water in the form of vapor, cores
ponds to the enormous sum Of sixteen bill
lions Of horse power.
