The Mark Zane Express of the 7th inst, in
review of the British grain trade, says: "The
peace prospects, the fairly-abundant granaried
stocks, and heavy anticipated arrivals both
from America and Southern Russia, have COM
bined to reduce the wheat trade to alamentable
state of depression"
The work of removing the distractions in
the Danube has begun, and navigation will be
resumed Immediately.
The London correspondent of the Chicago
Times telegraphs: From every Europe
an capital, except that of Hungary, the
news of the terms Of peace has produced an
excellent effect, and the general impression is
that there now remains no ground for war be-
tween England and Russia Even the pro-
nounced advocates of war find it difficult to
offer any cause for hostilities, except that En-
gland has lost prestige and has been humili-
ated, and that war is necessary to restore her
status as European power"
The Sultan of Turkey lately sent the follow
ing telegram to the Emperor of Russia "On
the occasion Of the anniversary of your
Majesty's accession to the throne offer you
my congratulations, with the desire Of renew
ing our friendly relations" And the Gear, in
reply, autographed as follows 81 thank your
Majesty for your congratulations, which re-
ceived simultaneously with the news of the
signature Of peace. Iperceiye in this coinci-
dence presage of good and lasting relations
between u.s."
The Spanish authorities in Cuba have pro-
claimed freedom for all slaves in the insurrec-
tionary districts who present themseves for
registration to the proper officers before the LIST
Of April. Slave-owners who have taken part
in the rebellion will receive no pay for their
emancipated chattels, while loyal owners will
be compensated. In another proclamation
notice is given that hereafter. Cuba will be rep
resented in the Spanish Dortes, and that i'm
portant administrative reforms will be instituted
in the island as rapidly as possible.

generally accepted as probable that the award
Of $4,000 900 by the Halifax Fishery Commits
sion. or rather by Mr.. Delfosse, the Belgian
Minister, who had the casting vote, will never

The instruction in Cuba has come b
an end. 1t was overocpe by an offer Y
amnesty, which reached the insurgenk
when their resources wexe oxhaustsp
and their cause seemed hop61oss. They
might have fought on for years perhaps
even until they had obtained fecogni-
ton from the United States-if The mer-
cilees policy which formerly minated
the Spanish Government had continued
In force; but the prospect d pardon
and restoration to their political priv
ileges was too much even for their stern
patriotism, and they succumbsd when
they were nearest the reali8ntion of
their hopes. 1t is unquestionably true
that every year which passed and left the
instruction unsubdued added To- it's
moral force. The spectacle of brave
people struggling against frightful odds
to assert their independence appealed
powerfully to the sympathies .of free
and enlightened nations. These sym-
pathies could hot be repressed by con-
siderations of diplomatic relations or
the pIecedents of international law. n
was not sufficient to say that the insur.
rectioh had been unsuccessful or that

navy. The simple fact that tho iysuhs
rection had been maintained for ten
years was enough. People saW Mat the
Cubans, whether they had eyhationai
existence or not, had strength enough
to keep the Spanish Government fully
employed. In ten years they used up
16O, 900 Spanish soldiers and $50, OOO,-
600 of Spanish treasures. They occu-
pied the mountains OF the central and
eastern provinces, and were in their own
territory practically invincible,S They
had at least the semblance a Q State
Government, including President and
Congress. They had also true patriots
among them-men who had sacrificed
princely fortunes and imperiled their
lives in the cause of independence.
These men resisted to the last, and were
overpowered by the mutiny of their
followers, who clamored for the brides
held out by the Spanish Government.
