London, Sept. 18. The Spectator says war between theUnitcd States and Spain, ou account of Cuba, appears like a moral impossibility, but is universally believed just now in Spain. The war enthusiasm here is gathering fast. Minister Sickles' proposition is inconsistent with the pre cedent furnished bv the conduct of the United States in lbCl. tYlth Spanish pride and Ameri can sympathies, the situation is very critical. It is dillicult to believe that Spain, with a divided people, a bankrupt treasury, one colony in revolt, others to lose, and nothing to gaiu, can seriously contemplate a war with one of tho greatest powers of the earth. . The Saturday Jievieie holds that this proposal of Geueral Sickles is accurately reported. 1 here . is no ground for complaint ngainst America for making the ofler to Spain in the character of a disinterested mediator. It is possible that some of those people in Spain who urge the Bonding of relnf6rceinents to Cuba desire the absence or the armv, for with the military power only can tho Regent maintain the power and authority of the Cortes against the Republicans and Carlists. The friends of Isabella might be formidable in the absence of the army, and the Government must see that to sacrifice the army will not save Cuba. Alluding to the desire of the Americans to possess Cuba, the writer thinks the arguments of Buchanan in favor of annexation must bo more agreeable to their cars, now that slavery has been suppressed; but whether it is their true interest to include an alien and uneengouial population in the Uniou is a (juestiou for future history, .

It Is con fidently asserted that AdmirallTopete will com mand the fleet. - The prospects of tho Duke of Genoa afc a can didate for the Spanish throne are increasing. His marriage with tho daughter of the Duke of Montpensier has been proposed. THE KMF. htabbliiK AHray In the Tenth Ward. bout 1 o'clock yesterday morning Joseph Ripp. residing at the corner of Cherry and i il son streets, was attacked while asleep in his bed- " . i- H.lnl atnrv of the bulidlnsr. bV a room, m , . .

Tho front room on tho first floor was inhabited by William Cunncrton and w ife. During tho last week Mrs. Eli.a McGinn, a widow, having left the family with which sho was employed as a domestic, went to the Cun ncrtons to'sUy until she could find other em ployment. About 10J o'clock on Saturday night last they all retired, and tho family being very poor, slept on the floor.

Army, by the uso of an electric battery and other remedies, by 4 o'clock in the afternoon succeeded In arousing Cunncrton to consciousness, and warding off all Immediaie danger. An examination of the room disclosed the fact that there was no ventilation whatever, and that the gas from a coal lire burning in a grate, the humidity of tlie atmosphere preventing it from nseending the Hue, had filled the room, and caused the death of the women by suffocation. Mr. Cunncrton keeps a small fruit and candy stand near the Reading Hail road Depot. Mrs. Eliza McGinn leaves three daughters and two sous. They were all sober when they retired. Incident ill.

The former townsmen of Governor Harrison Reed, of Florida, heartily expressed their wishes for his future success at a reception ten dered him in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, ou Tues day evening.

Its main object was to present the superior attractions of country life over the great cities, and in closing Mr. Seymour said that he found that the days have come when he must seek enjoyment else where than in the active pursuits of life, and that that enjoyment can be found by him only in the country. Foreign Item. . From the same place we learn of a new de velopment of Islam. The Panthays, or Chinese Mussulmans, have had permission to build a mosque.

' From an article upon Georgia by M. de Villeneuvc, the last explorer of that district, it appears that the much-vaunted beauty of the (ieorglau women is almost whtlly confined to the Inhabitants of the provinces of Imerothia and Mingrelia. As for the men, they are dis tinguished by another advantage the promi nence of their noses. M. de Villeneuvo speaks of these noses in terms of tho greatest enthusiasm: The Pall Mall Gazette miy: It is now stated that the lately discovered diary of Lord Pulmer ston does not extend beyond 1830; but if he wrote a diary during any part of his later life, it is unlikely that any frank jottings made later could be published now, while it Is to be hoped that up to li0 Sir II. Bulwer may be free to give the world very soon an unreserved blogra f.hv It is Impossible that Lord Palmorston s manuscripts can be freely used to tell everything that they can tell for the reign of QuecnVleto ria for some considerable time to come. But we his memorable dismissal from the Foreign OQlcc by Lord Russell, ond her Majesty's miuuto re quiring to see all bis despatches, and enjoining him to make no changes after she had sees them, which Lord RupscJI read in tho House of Commons, and as to which Lord Palmcrston kept silence. Posterity will know the whole truth; but any one now above forty can hardly expect to live to know It. The latest revelations of political correspondence of high importance are Lord Grey's of ISia, ond even here it is only a selec tion. Lord Breughton, better known as Sir John Uobhouse, has just left his papers to the British Museum, with a condition that they shall not be openod till tho year lSKX). Where will most gentlemen of forty be then? Whether a later diary is discovered or not, Lord Palmcrston is sure to have left abundance of materials for the political history of tho later portion of his life. He was a great letter writer. He is said to have written regularly once a week a long letter of political chit-chat to his brother. Sir William Temple, the diplomatist, who was Min ister at Naples from J&iii till his death In 18"7; and the entire correspondence with his brother preserved. MARINE TELEGRAPH.
