Tub publication yesterday of the cubic telegram from London announcing that tlic Initial steps have been taken for the formation of an offen sive and defensive alliance between England, Frauce, and Spain ngainot the United States, hits created a profound wjne.-itlon throughout the country. The New York Tribune, in whose columns the despatch first appeared, made the following editorial comments upon it: We print, without entirely crediting, a cable .lea natch from a very well-informed correspondent, an nouncing that England, France, and Spain have bemin negotiations for an ollonsive and defensive alliance against the United States, with Cuba and the Alabama claims for the pretext. The report looks so much like the rumor likely to be bred even In official circles lv passionate anger, that there may be some reason for delaying a full belief in It. ' This is the judgment which the whole country Jjas passed upon the rumor, which has gained no credence whatever in official and diplomatic circles in Washington. There arc many reasons which lead us to believe that it can be nothing tnorc that an idle and unfounded sensation, Started, perhaps, as is suggested in despatches from Washington, to test the state of public opinion in this country. In the first place, such an alliance could Inflict tmon the United States no material injury. The civil war established the fact that this country Is the first military nation on the face of the earth, and that it could maintain its territorial Integrity against all who might assail it. It is entirely within the bounds of reason to assort that England, France, and Spain could not suc ceed In landing on our shores, or in their colonial dependencies contiguous to us, a mili tary force which could seriously imperil us. In fact, the most formidable drawback under which we would labor would be the very fact that com paratively little of the fighting would be done on our own soil. Our seaboard cities would of course be open to the assaults of the enemy; but between the difficulties the latter would encounter In reaching our shores, and our present and possible appliances for defense, the wholo line of our coast would be comparatively safe. An effective commercial blockade of all our princi pal ports might possibly ensue, with the certainty that our trading vessels would be driven from the seas for a time. But we have within the present decade been subjected, through foreign sympathy with the Rebellion, to just such an inconvenience, and despite it were still able to conduct to a successful issue a civil war of the jnost glgautic proportions. We can live within ourselves, without the fear of famine, and with out sustaining such a prostration of our Indus tries as to give rise to any considerable amount of suffering on the part of our laboring classes. Not an ounce of breadstuffs would be needed from any foreign country to feed our people; not a yard of fabrics from beyond the seas would be required to clothe them. Let the whole world unite to hem us in, nnd our resources will be found sufficient to meet all our necessities for a much longer period than the nnitod nations of the earth could afford to maintain the blockade. While we should thus escape in a great mea sure the evils and disasters which are usually Incident to a state of war, the coutest would bo nothing more nor less than suicidal on the part of the nations arrayed against us. The very fact of the declaration of war against us by Great Britain would be equivalent to the formal annexation of Canada and the British West Indies; as soon as Spain anuounccd her intention of entering the lists, Cuba and Porto Rico would become part and parcel of our own territory. There would probably be some fighting on land necessary to maintain our hold upon these territories, but we could certainly throw into countries and islands at our very doors as much of the bone and sinew of war as nations removed by thousands of miles from the scene of the conflict. The real coutest Would be waged upon the high seas, and within a month from the declaration of hostile inten tions these would be swarming with privateers. Our regular vessels of war would bo required principally for sentinel duty along our shores, as being better adapted to defensive operations than vessels not constructed with a special view to warlike operations. But our whole vast mer cantile marfcio, constantly increased by captures from the enemy, would be let looso upon the Chipping of Great Britain and Franco, and in the twinkling of an eye it would vanish. A few email privateers sufficed to drive our own com merce from the ocean during the Rebellion; an indefinite multiplication of such craft would make tho same havoc with the commerce of our enemies. France would not suffer to a very great extent in consequence, but ruiu and consternation would stare England in the face. The latter country is dependent upon the outside world for a market for her manufactures, and to a considerable extent for her supplies of breadstuffs also. Tho destruc tion ol her foreign commerce, even for a brief period, would cause the stoppage of her number less mills, would take tho food out of the very mouths of the most dangerous and discontented class of her population, and would bring to gether In the streets of London, Manchester, and l'restou an uncontrollable mob that would dictate the terms of peace in our behalf. Moreover, the Irish Republic would no longer be a merely disagreeable and disturbing dream It would assume the proportions of a .horriblt nightmare, anu u it should not eventually Ijecoine au tipuu-uay ruauiy,- iue supremacy Of England would be maintained only by such a display of force and such a draft upon her re sources as would materially and fatally weaken her in the contest abroad. A war with the United States would undoubtedly prove a god send to the Tory party. The conservative leaders would arouse all tho latent Jfcigllsh pride and stubborn adherence to time-honored iustitu tious. by pointing out tho disastrous conse ouenccs of defeat in a contest with the great tiroselvting republic of the West. Mr. Glad Btone and his liberal government would tumble into ruins if they should prove at all lukewarm In the prosecution of the war. But (he destruc tion of English commerce, the prostration of English industries, -the starvation of Englis operatives, and the loosening of the English hold upon Ireland, would ultimately more then coun teract! all the bluster of tho Tories and all tho English hatred of republican institutions. In France and Spain consequences almost equally fraught with disaster would ensue, ?belr' territorial connection with. '.Le coutiucut would of course prevent any material amount of suffering or a suspension of tho ordinary pur suits of their industrial classes. But tho repub lican sentiment In both countries would Ibo glveu a lasting lmpulso which would prevent the rc establishmcnt of tho monarchy In Spain, and seriously endanger tho throne of tho Bonapartcs. In neither country would a war with the United States be more popular than was tho attempt to set up an empire In Mexico; In neither country would the government receive tho hearty sup port of the people; and in both countries would defeat abroad react w ith vital effect upon the government at home. A survey of the whole field thus shows that neither England, France, nor Spain can afford to go to war with tho United States for Imaginary grievances, cither singly or together. The rumor of the contemplated alliance Is nothing more than nn Idle dream, and if the designing politicians who started it desired to arrive at the state of public opinion in this country on the subject, they are likely to obtain full satisfaction. PAUPERISM AM) EM I ) RATI OX. A movement has been commenced in England to relievo the distresses of certain classes, and especially of skilled workmen who arc limbic to find employment, by the old remedy of emi gration to various British colonic or the United States. The necessity of extending re lief of some kind has become so manifest that it has attracted the attention of Parliament, as well as of charitable associations nnd trades unions. The discussions elicited by the various schemes proposed prove, however, that emigra tion which is not entirely voluntary and un aided continues to be attended with mnch diffi culty, arising, in part, from the unwillingness of those whom Great Britain would most gladly expatriate to leave her shores, nnd in part from the disinclination of the British colonies to re ceive emigrants who arc in the slightest degree tainted with pauperism. The question is also agitated whether there is not something radi cally wrong in the British poor law and social system, and whether forced emigration nud expatriation from a country abounding In wealth arc not a virtual confession of injustice or incapacity to discharge a pressing duty in an honorable manner. Tho richest na tion on the globe is humiliated by the acknow ledgment that she cannot maintain her own paupers, and that she has no better resource than to quarter them on other communities, especially in view of the fact that American cities are burdened not only with their own poor, but by a large number of the paupers and criminals of Europe. Wc are, therefore, not surprised that Lord Ovcrstonc declared iu the House of Lords that "the true remedy was in a wise administration of the Boor law," and that Great Britain "must surely have resources for the employment of its able-bodied population." The traditional policy of England, in reference to pauperism and emigration, is based on a false theory of political economy. It is as foolish as it is brutal to assume that the population of the world increases more rapidly than the means of providing for their necessities, under a proper industrial organization. Of all the surface of the earth scarcely one acre out of a million is at this moment made as productive as it would be if it was cultivated in the most skilful manner. The fact is abundantly demonstrated that mechanical and manufacturing skill more than keeps paco with the increase of population in increasing the supply of clothing, houses, furniture, facilities for travel, and all articles essential to human comfort which can be constructed from raw material. Modern science and experi ment have shown that a still greater field for xpansion is to be found in the neglected fields, which, abandoned by rude and ignorant farmers because they would no longer yield continuous crops of corn, wheat, or tobacco, are rendered, under careful tillage, capable of producing im mense quantities of fruits and vegetables. British grieulturc has been immensely improved dur ing the last half century, nnd notwithstanding the dense population of the British isles, there is little doubt that if all their available territory was as well cultivated as their best farms, and if their extensive parks were utilized, they would be under no necessity ot Importing od. Rapacity, ignorance, idleness, a false or fat il Industrial system, pestilence, a fearful combina tion of national misfortunes, or a selfish desire to sacrifice the interests of the many for the benefit of the few, may oblige any nation which possesses a large number of inhabitants to seek relief in emigration. But tins resource is not necessary in this age, under ordinary eireuin stances, if a wise and just governmental policy is combined with popular intelligence, industry, and patriotism. Portions of the State of Pennsylvania, from which, thirty years ago, hundreds of persons emigrated every year, because they believed such a resource was considered necessary, aro now annually increasing In population; and, with the development of diversified industry, they are furnishing ample employment for all their native inhabitants as well as many tww settlers. So many sections of the United States are sparsely peopled at this time, that for years to come their numerous and cheap natural advan tages will attract emigrants from other portions of America as well as from Europe, but menu while the fact should ever be borne iu mind that, in thousands of cases, it is better to establish new industries at or near the old homestead than to seek them at random In distant parts of the earth. ' In America, as well as in England, greater efforts should be made in every community to trust to the utilization of all the resources w ithin reach, rather than to emigration, for the relief of the poorer classes as well as for the in crease of the wealth of tho rich. The natural treasures of the canh, even In tills progressive age, arc but imperfectly understood. New methods of utilizing them arc constantly being devised, and at the present rate of progress In agriculture, engineering, 'mechanics, and manufactures, it will not be difficult hereafter for a population ten times as great as that now existing on the earth to acquire the means of subsistence with less proportionate difficulty tlian that encountered by the living generation HAD FOR ft Pit AGUE. fei'iiAGin, of Rhode Island, known among his friends as Little Billy Sprague, distinguished nimscii uurmg iue early clays of the Rebellion, before the hard fighting commenced, bv nutiino- on u bran new major-general's uniform, bavin" his likeness taken in this guise, and distributing u an over me country, anu ry careering about tho field at Bull Kim on a fiery, untamed charger, cursing and swearing like a veteiau trooper, and nondueting a campaign on h ow hook. Sprague then went into the United States Senate tu the strength of his "war record" and the money made by his family In the calico business, ft'id n.liided. Indeed, he was almost f.r0'(fto, but his proud spirit chafed at the little reputation tlut his sena torial career brought him, aud ho accordingly braced himself for one great effort which should place his name high upon tho roll of tho warrior statesmen cf the country, and hand it down to an admiring posterity. With tho assistance o needy quill-drivers who attend to that sort of business in Washington for illiterate Congress men, he produced several speeches which, after exciting general curiosity by his dark hints at the terrible disclosures ho was about to make, he finally gave to his anxiously awaiting coun trymen in the columns of the VongrpKxional Giobt: Sprague's speeches certainly did make a sensation, but nut exactly the kind of one he anticipated, and their immediate result was to rank him with those profound statesmen nnd diplomats, George Francis Train and Colorado Jewett. Rhode Island even, "Sprague's plantation," repudiated him, and, If we except the sardonic support of the New York Herald, there was none to do him reverence; but those, who most heartily wished him well freely expressed the opinion that he ought to be spanked. Sprague evidently desired to make capital In his own little scven-by-nine State; but yesterday the municipal election was held in Providence, the home of the Spragucs, and the anti-Sprngue men were successful by a large majority, not withstanding that the bellicose little Senator was present to press his own claims and to throw all the influence of his calico factory into the scale to defeat his opponents. So long ns Sprague held his peace, he was safe on the strength of his "war record;" but as soon as he opened his mouth, the ass beneath the lion's skin was betrayed, and Spraguo subsided to his natural level. "Favi t descensus Avenii," and Sprague having now got back to the normal stato of insignificance from which he started, wc hope that his talented wife will prevent him from making a fool of himself, and that she will spunk him well with her slipper if ho don't be have himself as a warrior-statesman should, by holding his peace about matters that he is not able to understand.

IlEKKINO, FAHRKL & SUKRMAK, No. 261 Broadway. Gents: On the night of the 22d ultimo, our store, No. 20 South street, was entered, and a desperate at tempt made by burglars upon one of your safes in our counting-room. The key to the safe n which we kept our securities -was locked inside of our Ore-proof book safe, the doors of which were literally cut to pieces ; from this they obtained the key to the other safe and opened It. Fortunately we had one of your Burglar-Proof Banker's Chests Inside, in which our valuables were deposited. This they went to work at with a will, and evidently nsed up all their time and tools in vain attempts to force it. The night was dark and stormy, and the fact of their knowing where our key was kept shows that their plans were well matured. They tried wedging the door and body of the Chest, and the faithful safe bears evidence of the labor and skill devoted to the work. All was useless, and it Is with great satisfaction we report that upon opening it we found our securities all safe, and can therefore cheer fully Indorse the Burglar-Proof work recommended by you. You will please send the new safe purchased by na to our counting-house, and take the old one, to show that some safes are still manufactured worthy of the name. David Dows & Co.
