John Ball appears determined to giro “tt

Human patience might have borne it a little
longer, but polilkal patience could endure It
no more. Spain, eo largely tho debtor of
England, melded In treating her with con.
tumefy —in making Cuba an emporium for the
inception of African slaves, and believed that,
intictf her merejealonay of the United States,
England would hold by tbe Iberian alliance, In
order to vex ar. Bat England haa found ant
that friendship with us Is preferable to alliance
with pauperised Spain, and has all but de
clued that we may take Cuba—lf we please
and If we can.
A few words dropped from the lips of Lord
Mat.xasseay, in the House of Lords, on the
Right of Search debate, have alarmed Spain,
and her Ministry have sent in a remonstrance
to thu Conti of St. James's. If Englaild
withdraw her protection, the game ti nearly

The London Times, it has boon observed by
those who are obliged to read It regularly, has
lately shifted its ground as respects the Derby-
Dbrselll Ministry. While there was any
thing like a chance of Lord Pszannevon's
ro
tr.rn to office, the Times lea vigilant In watch
ing the course of the new Ministry, and earnest
in animadverting upon its doings and mis
doing.. Gradually, as it saw that the
British people rejoiced in the change or
Government, Its teniure relaxed. The Times
always sides with the strongest party. Bats
are provablel for abandoning a felling,house
and a sinking or a doomed ship: Just so with
The Times. It has quitted , the Palmerston
psrty, and Is patronizing the more flourishing
coterie now in Mike. A few months ago It
was a thick and thin Palmerston organ. Now
it affects to go on the 14 Moslems not men"
principle lately, It went Itsr the mes, without
much wing for the miaatirts. On tbe ques
tion of Cobs, ft not only backs Lord Mamas
ernes Ala, but genes far beyond it.
When The Times speaks of the probe.
bllity—the Risibility—the expedleacy of
Cuba caning under our deg, it must be con
sidered, not an enunciating the wishes, the
opinions, the desires of the British Gorent;•
meat—but of the British People. Running
with the hare and bolding with tbe hound, as
The Times does, it seemingly antielpites,
white it really only draws concluelons.. fig
land does not care whether we or Spain pos
sess Cabs. She protheses to care for the
suppression of the Slave Trade—not interfe
ring with es the peculiar institution" of one
part of our great country, but anteing to put

aLves from Africa which it was the object of
Witmesimaci and CL4IIIOOIII to put an end
tot which Fox was able to Make Illegal by
atatuto i which Mr. Srani,TY (the present
Lent Deere) finally sanded into erect by ble
Abolition Act.
The Times hits always been consistent on
this point, tinder cover of which Rim* sari t

tile aged lady whose recollections we have

under the blows of a crowd of radians, who fol.

Maddened with excitement, the mob appeare

the life of the refugees, but also his own would,
to a certainty, be sacrificed. This officer can,
deubtlese, not hare yielded without a struggle, and

of herr Majesty, both of whom were at Jeddah, cue
of the two being at the same time joint owner and
master of the ship: The latter presented a petition
to the British Coagulate, setting forth that he had
demanded a settlement of accounts from his part

Lad declared his intention to become anattaralised

This morning, the physicians having the patients
in oharge . pronounced the servant girl and the
child out of danger. Mnr, Spofford, however, it
was thought by them, would die. She was oink
ing rapidly, and the poison, whatever it may have
been, seemed to liave.operated with a fatal offset
upon her. Lest evening, A. P. Lyman, Stake
Attorney, took bar ante-mortem deposition, which
was made by her in full view of the probabilities
of death; her physician's having informed her that
she was not likely to mover. There is nothing in
her statement which differs materially from who t

who was found horribly mutilated at the Ball of

in the least. A. report reached us yesterday after

after the murder was committed, Dickson. was at
a house in Pleasant ermine, which rune from Lom

Important Suggeition.--We have been
requested to call the attention of the clerk of the
High-street markets, or other authority, to the
orowds of perambulating vendors of fanny articles
of all klndle, who contribute greatly to blooking up
the avenues, too narrow to ecoemmodate the legi
timate business required to be transacted therein.
Largo numbers of proferstonal beggars increase the
dialottlty—some without arm others minus their ,
lege, and . some without eight, requiring to
be led through the patting crowd. One sturdy
fellow without legs is fastened on a kind of truok,
and works hts way along on his hands; he always
draws a curious armed after him, and keeps pedes
trianism in a dead look around him. He is reputed
to have beoome wealthy on the elms which his
pitiable appearance extorts Irons the charitable.
Cigar smoking, too, though prohibited by ordt

abominable nuisance.

The New York Evansn,fr Post states that, in,
madame with notioe previously given, the NlA
gara Ball' and Ontario Railroad, which runs from
suspension Bridge northeast to Youngatown on
Lake Ontario, was purehastd on Thursday last,
under the foreclosure of the first-mortgage bond
holders, by R B, Potter, E%., for $llO,OO, for
their amount On liriday, the Canandaigua and
Elmira Road, wide gauge, running forty-seven
miles from Canandaigua southeast to Jefferson, at
the head of Beneca Lake, being, part of -the line
from New York via Erie Road. to Suspension
Bridge, was through a like Moose disposed of to
Maas. Cherla Congdon and Robt. M. Putter, of
tbis oily, for $200,000, which inoluded tbe entire
equipment This road connects with the Canan
daigua and Niagara Faits line of one hun
dred miles, which was sold; a yeer agog, by Mr.
Potter, for certain parties in 'England, and within
the paet month disposed of to the New York Cen
trot Company It le reported that the Central.
will work it under a rental or $00,090 per annum.
The different tributary roads In that lotality have,
within a year dr
• two, Undergone various vielssi
tudev, , the business, • it would seem, beteg lan&
elent to pay fair per eentage on the oat though
eanornioal reform in the working ' of them may
yet anal derabiy lioprove their affairs. The pre
sent bold:wad the Canandaigua and Elmira road*
we understand, nmy consent to seine arrangement
by whioli the subsequentereditors,,outoffbythis
sale, will be allowed to take Interest in it.
The Rochester Union, however, Bays that at
the sale, the other partlesatood by, wearing long
faces, hut. unable to prevent the sacrifice of their
property! There was a rumor of an arrangement
between the purehasiugparty arid the the °lasses
of bondhOldere, bat it probably beans foundation.
The real was not considered worth - the gut mort
gage. The
-road from Jefferson to Elmira, twenty
two miles long, which baa also been run as a part
of the road now sold, is owned and oontrolled by
the New York and Erie intereai. This , will in
the end have to enecamb to' the " Central in
iluence;'' in MO the Central gete the Canal:dal.
gna and Jefferson section.
We see an announcement of the completion of
the Chicago, St. Faul, and Fond du Lao Railroad
from Fond du Lao to Aebkosh, in amplianee with
the law of the Etat* of Wisoonsin, which requires
the road to be built to tbe limits of the city - of
Ashlrcub prior to August 1. This secures the pos
session of 154,000 `am of land to the company,
and the- further right to upward of a million of
auto in addition; as fast as tbe company may , pro-',
gross In , the oonstruoUon of the work to Like fin
parlor. The grant extends' over a period of elitelit
nine years. The lani-grant bends now constitute
,a first mortgage lien on the road north of Fond duo
Lao, and on the 150,000 acres , of land, and le e.
second mortgage also on one hundred and seventy
eight miles south to Chigago, of which one hun
dred and twenty-two mita is now complete and
running. The ears will run through from the La
Cross junction to Ashkosh immediately.
