The Presidcnt,s Conference with the Secretary
of state.
After the return of President Grant yesterday
morning to Washington, and particularly as he
spent several nours with Secretary Fish at the
State Department, much anxiety was expressed
TO ascertain the character of the conference, the
supposition being that it had reference to our
relations with Spain. This is probable, but there
is no authority for the positive assertion. 1t is
certain, however, that no action was taken IN
the premises.
1t is already known that some time ago
Minister Sickles was instructed to offer the
United States Government as a mediator be-
tween Spain and Cuba, representations having
been made to it by respectable parties who had
visited Spain and obtained interviews with pro-
minent personages, that its friendly offices
would meet with favor. Such offers not being
uncommon IN our own history and that of other
nations Minister Sickles approached the Spanish
Government upon the subject and had the de-
sired interview. Contrary to European tele-
grams there is no reason for supposing that the
Spanish Government took Offense, or has sought
to involve other governments in its action.
The Spanish Government, after maturely con-
sidering the proffered mediation has thanked
the United States Government for its friendly
disposition, but is not willing to agree to our
accommodation between Spain and Cuba on the
terms proposed. The end of the matter simply
is that the mediation is declined.

1T is not believers alone who are intole-
rant Free-thinkers can be bigoted in their
own way, and there is Just reported from
Paris very pretty little story in illustration
of this A free-thinker died, and was buried
the other day. At the grave a friend of the
family stood forward and pronounced few
kindly words over his remains. This created
great disgust and excitement among the fra
ternity of free-thinkers to whom the departed
belonged. cit is too bad, they said, ''that
a man like that should be allowed to speak at
the grave Of such man." ''Good heavens
what has he done ? what's wrong?" ''What

''why, he has been married in a church"
The GOl0SS of st. Petersburg has q sig
nifcant article in its impression of the 2Gth of
August on the visit of Prince Charles of Rou-
mania to the Gar in the Crimea. 1t says that
this visit has undoubtedly a political char
acter," as the Danubian Principalities must
naturally gravitate to Russia; and ''in the
event of a possible conflict between the Eu-
ropean powers about the Eastern question,
the banks of the Danube would necessarily
become the theatre of war;" 'The Rouma-
nian people, it proceeds, (which is orthodox
like ourselves, knows instinctively how to
distinguish its friends from its enemies; it
expects its regeneration, not from French
Jesuits or PTussian Junkers, but from ortho-
dox Russia, under whose rule a portion of the
Roumanian nation has found peace and pros
perity." AS to the reported project of mar
rying Prince Charles to a Russian Grand
Duchess, the GoJ0ss expresses wish that it
may be successful, as ''such a union would be
more suitable than one with some small Ger
man Princess. The Danubian Principalities
are on the eve of obtaining complete inde-
pendence, while the States of these small
German sovereigns will soon be mere pro-
vinces of Prussia.

relating to the Sicilian and Neapolitan revolu-
tions. The book contains several letters from
Cavour, Garibaldi, and DAzeglio, from
which 1t clearly appears that Garibaldi was
secretly encouraged, if not assisted, in his en-
terprise by the Italian Government. In a
letter to Admiral Persano dated the 25th of
February, 1860, Cavour expresses his satisfac-
ton at the victory of Melazzo, which, he says,
| will ''do not little to convince Europe that
| the Italians are resolved, even at the price Of
their lives, to recover the independence and

The Explanation Ofthe Excitement in the Mo-

is, that Prm and Serrano are desiTous of con-
solidating their own power and healing internal
dissensions in the mother country, by arousing
the people in favor of foreign war, in hopes
they will be aided by the leading European
powers. The warlike attitude of the Spaniards
creates uneasiness here in official circles, as
il is not considered that General Sic1les, thus
far, has given any cause for war. In fact, from
the latest information in the possession of our
Government General Sckles course is approved,
and il is not credited that he has exceeded his
official instructions in any way because he
could not fail to see that such policy would react
iniuriously upon himself. He is regarded as one
of the most prudent and cautious OF our diplo-
mats abroad.

Our CORRESPONDENCE publish two
communications, to-day, which will COM
mand more than the usual attention One
is in reference to the Kent Rail Road and
its reprehensible mismanagement; and the
other is in reference to the alleged blan-
dishments beginning to be practiced by
the Philadelphia, Wilmington and Balti-
more Rail Road Company, towards the
members of the Delaware Legislature, in
the distribution of FREE PASSES. This
courtesy towards the Legislature would
attract little or no attention, ordinarily;
but, at the present time, when the Rail
Road Company stands in defiant attitude
towards the State, it is not to be wonder
ed at that it should attract attention, or
excite public jealousy. We should prefer
to make our trips over the Rail Road at
our own expense, under the circumstances.
The members Of the Legislature. however,
we feel well assured, will know how to ap-
preciate these little attentions of the Rail
Road Company, aud estimate them at their
true value.
The sentiment of Sir Robert Walpole,
the corruptest man Of his age, (that every
man has his price) with which our cores
pondent "a" sets out, is one to which
we have never subscribed, nor do we sup
pose our correspondent intended to apply
it to the members Of the Legislature. II
is used only in general sense, and would
be eminently unjust towards the estimable
gentlemen composing that body.

On the 4th of August last an lnterna-
tional Commercial Convention assembled
at Portland. Maine. ANA the proceedings
have just been published in pamphlet TO- IN,
The delegates to that assembly embraced
many of the most distinguished business
men of this country and the Canadian do
ninions. and the interesting subjects of
the establishment Of free trade upon the
continent of North America, and the ell
largement of the facilities of transportation
by means of railways and canals, regard
less of political boundaries, were presented
in all their varied forms and with the local
surroundings of each section and division
of the continent The principal measures
discussed belong to the craftsmanship of
this period of Improvement, when the wave
of population sweeps with irresistible force
over the entire extent Of this continent, and
the means for uniting the various sections
Of the country, by commercial ligaments,
so as to secure u unity of all interests, be-
comes matter of the highest considera-
tion. While men are clamoring for the
chains to be removed from the limbs Of
humanity, let them also free trade, CON-
merce and industry from the bondage
which the few have imposed upon them. =
