CUBA NOT IN MARKET,

President Buchanan is not likely to succeed in
purchasing Cuba, if the Cubans are to have any
say in the bargain. Late arrival from the Island

the people against the proposition, which they just
y consider as insulting to them especially, as well
as to the government Of Spain. Mr.. Buchanan.

MADAME: The Ayuntamiento Of Havana has not
read without profound surprise the recent message
OF the President of the United States, in which the
Infamous idea is announced that that government
mas intended and intends to purchase the island of
Ouoa, a pretention which must be looked upon as
douoiy insulting to the nobleness of the nation and
to the dignity of the sons of Cuba, who, it appears.
are considered no better than a drove of slaves.

"All the Spsniards resident in the territory of
the Island constitute an integral part of the Span.
ish nation and Cuba is a province of the monarcv,
in all things similar to those of CASTLE, to which
our wise laws of the Indies make her equal. The
shame OF being sold cannot be supported by those
who always appreciate their existence as a part of
a nation to which they have ever been assimilated
in habit, religion, and customs, and which trans,
mitted to them the beautiful language of Cervantes.

REFORM SCHOOLS IN OHio.-One of the most wise
and humane acts of our State authorities is the es.
of a reform Schoolo on European models
for the benefit OF juvenile offenders against the
laws and morality. They are thus rescued from the
pernicious influences in the purlieus of our cities,
and of jails and aims houses, and put under a sys.
of education adapted to their wants and cir.
Several philanthropic gentlemen
have especially interested themselves in this meas.
ures. Among them most prominent, is Mr.. Charles
OF Cincinnati, who preparatory to the
organization of the Ohio school, visited those of
similar character in France and Germany. The
Ohio school therefore goes into operation with the
benefit of the experience of its predecessors.
The State School is located in Fairfield county,
near Lancaster, on a farm of LILO acres. The

240 boys will soon be completed, and the whole

reached being $780, 90. with house-room at present
