of this date" that Spain is about to
lose Cuba, and that the loss of Cuba to
Spain will terribly derange all the system
of bookkeeping now practised in "the
Lane" set up the prices of sugar, make
the great quotations "irregular'' and thus
interfere with wages, family jointures, the
rate ofinteresti in Threadneedle street, and
dearknows what besides. Sugar, too, will
be made very dear, and who can say hut
that The men of Manchester, Leeds, Bir-
mingham, Liverpool and the other centres
of manufacture will demand an increase of
wages so as to secure a little sweetening
for their tea with plenty o sugar for the
Sundays plum pudding? Such are the
moving causes in Mincing lane, and hence,
to a veryegreat extent, the British outcry
relative to the Sickles note, with the Bri-
fish desire TO stand behind Spain and
against the Cubans, if she can.
England has another object in view,
Her concern for Cuba is prompted by a
desire to-if she may-hedge round the
United States in the Gulf of Mexico, and
also to "head off the eomming interests of
the 4 merican peoplei in that quarter. The
acquisition of Cuba is with British terri
torial prompting old as the time of Eliza
beth. When Drake buccanneered in the
Spanish Main he ascertained the value Of
the "gem," as it was at that day, and after
his return home his advice to the ''maiden''
Queen TO send out and take it, with the
presenter a few small boxes of Spanish
specie, brought him a royal conformation
fof his p%iracies, with the commission of
admiral royal navy. England did send out
to Cuba, but failed to take it then. In
1862 Earl Albemarle, with thirty-two men
of-war and twenty thousand troops, took
Havana, held it for short time and res
tored it to Spain after carrying away from
the city three million pounds in gold.
England has had an eye in the same direc-
ton, more or less, since, and, very natu-
rally, does not wish that the notes of
M%incing lane shall be deprecated in value
by the notes of Major General Daniel E.
Sickles. John Bull does not care either
for the Cubans or Spaniards, but he is
deeply concerned in behalf of Mincing lane
and the sugar averages.

English Treaty Of Commerce
with Spain = Mincing Lame
Against MajOr General
SiCkIeS.

We learn by cable telegram from Lon
don that the British government is en-
gagged in the negotiation of a new treaty
of commerce with Spain, and that the
instrument will soon be completed. The
republican constitution of Spain recOg-
nlzes the principle of free trade, and the
British diplomatic movement now un-
dertaken may be regarded pretty general
ly, particularly on the other side of. the
water, as an expression of the present
desire of the Cabinet of St James to keep
the people in free accord with the inter
national trade spirit of the age, as evol-
we'd aud elaborated by their parliamentary
reformerS and sanctioned a few years
since by the conclusion of the Golden
Bonaparte paper in Paris. 1t may be in
ferred however, and with much probabili-
ty of accuracy in the deduction, that the
English idea is not quite SO broad and
comprehensive. The Cabinet in Madrid
has plenty of trouble on hand without
entering on the work of intricate calcu-
lations as to port duties, freights, money
averages, the rates of exchange, with the
differences between graduated and raw
sugar, and syrup and mOlasses, or about
canes and coolies, and white labor and
the rest.
Modern Spain has not been much at
figures, any how. of late, inclining more
and more to return to The simple rule of
profit and loss observed by her early sx-
plorers, from Cortez down, Of take all you
can carry away and count the sum total
when you get home. On the other hand,
John Bull is a most accurate arithmeti-
clan. John takes care of the farthings,
resting assured that by SO doing the
pounds sterling will take care of them
selves, and has always endeavoured to-
impress the value of this maxim upon the
peoples of the world-in Europe, Asia,
Africa and America-charging them at
the highest rates for his tuition, even
when he found them inapt or unwilling
to- learn of him. The truth is Mincing
lane wants sugar-a steady supply and
cheap-and as Mincing lane is an exceed
ingly powerful interest in Britain MinciDg
lane has advised old John, "percircular
