Notice after notice is given of the anti :al of foreign goods, manufactured by half paid hands, and thrown into our mar kets. At die ' same time, from every quarter comes the most gloomy tidings of the depression, or entire stoppage, of the manufacturing establishments of our own country. One is cause, the other is effect. The Tariff of 1$ 16 has now been thor oughly tried, and its effects are apparent, in its unfavorable bearing. The time has arrived when there must be active ellirrt to sustain our selves, or such an effect will be produced, as will be hard to recover from. It has been intimated that our manufactur- ing interests may be.sustained by reducing the :wages of hands to the European standard.— :%.That will never' do. An increase of poverty, 'wratehedness and evil would be the sure con- E:.pcluellOe. No, no, that must not be. The la borer is worthy of his hire. Ile who toils for daily wages, needs sufficient to support himself and dependents. The only way , is to protect our own interests; rather than to sacrifice them to those of Europe. More adequate protection was tried, and under it Alanufactuting estab lishments were reared, and successfully work ed. A general and healthful prospetity, felt by every class, followed. That prosperity, though • checked, has not yet subsided, but front what is transpiring in every direction, a different as pect is foreshadowed, unless evil consequen cue are averted by timely averting cause for them. It is true we have a class of citizens in thhileountry, who are in favor of free trade.— lititthe great mass is not of the number. Even in England, while a strong desire is felt for Me establishment of the free trade system in this country, there is occasionally one among them, candid enough to express surprise at the hesi tating course of this country on that subject. Raising of Salaries The late Legislature became extremely lib eral with the people's'money after they voted themselves three dollars a day for the whole session. They raised the salaries of the Canal Commissioners from three to four dollars per day, and those of all the heads of departments with the exception of the Governor, who was left with the salary as it was cut down by the reform bill. It is worthy of remark, that the. bill ti n • raid• iug the daily pay of the members from one della? and a half to three dollars was passed by the House without a call for yeas and nays. A In - ember who intended, as he said, to call for the yeas and nays, inlermed us that no chance was given him by the Speaker. When the vote was taken in gross the nays were not asked for, the Speaker without putting them, decided that the bill was agreed to. Ile said that the whole matter had been previously su arranged by themselves as to 'nevem a call lur the yeas and nays. Report on the Finances. • We are indebted to the lion. Ir.

Thus showing that for 14 years die price had gradu ally 'fallen. Sad irons, all imported prior to the •Turifi of 1842; sold at 5 to 6 cents per pound.

The late advices Irmo France indicate the prevalence of an unsettled and restless spirit, although, as yet, there has been no outbreak. :Serious tears are, however, entertained. The near approach of the election arouses the vio lence of faction. The true republicans are a smallbody compared with the monarchists, but the red republicans keep up the agitation and if the monarchists prevail it will be by their turmoil. Louis Napoleon, although President, is not satisfied with his 'tide or the office.-- lle is monarchist in heart and is anxious to hold his position by another tenure than the will of the people. Mr. lbochejacquelein, a member of the Legislative Assembly, inno duce,' a proposition ordering an election for the purpose of ascertaining the wishes of the people on the subject of the f o rm of govern ment, which is partially embraced in the fob loving articles: Art. I. The people will be consulted upon the form of government which will be estab lished and regulated. For this object, on the first Sunda}• of June, Isso, Mere will take place a general vote, a.. it WrilS given for the election of the President, with the same laws and regulations. Att. ;I. Every elector will vote with a tick et upon which will be written either republic: or monarchy. Art. :Y. If a majority be in favor of a monar chy, the result of the election will be pro claimed by the President of• the Assembly. Art. •l. If a majority be in favor of thi3 republic, the result of the balloting will be giv en by the President blots:eV. This proposition originated in a desire to ascertain the wishes of the people. There are many who desire the same information, but they lacked the boldness to present their views. Instead of secretly working against the government ; Mr. llochcjucquelein has open- I}' avowed his opposition and is determined to mirk° tin effort to have' the question set tled. It is manifest that there is considera ble dissatisfaction with the present rule, oth erwise this proposition would have received uo toleratiotrand support. Liberty of speech has advanced, for at no other period of French history would this proposition, questioning the stability of the government, have been consid ered in any other light than treason—the elec toral law for the suppression of the clubs and the resnictive law in regard to the press.

The news from Cuba, brought by the steam. ship Ohio, is very important. Gen. Lopez, who heads.the invading part• from the United States, has effected a landing, with a few hunilred men, on the northern part of the Island, at Cardenas, about ninety miles from Havanna, and about forty eastward of Matanzas, towards Which town they were on their march by the last advices. Cardenas is a small place, with but few inhabi tants, and on this account was probably , selected as the easiest point to gain a foothold upon the island. The gartison of.unly sixty men stiffen. i tiered to Lopez after a slight resistance. This seems to be the whole extent of the sue- eess of the expedition so far, which stnounts to •eery little, for admitting that Lopez's force is ::nnn men, and on their way to Matanzas, it still appears utterly inadequate to the immense task ! of subjugating the island,.roused as the authori• tics appear to be to the extent of the danger which threatens them, and determined to crush it. Ilre already see marks of prompt and vigor ! ous operations on the part of the Spaniards. Eight hundred troops have been despatched to join the 1500 at Matanzas, so that Lopez's force will be met by more then an equal number of tro o p s , Ivith 15,000 inhabitants of Matanzas fur the Governor to fall back upon. All resident foreigners had been ordered to be enrolled. A steamer was promptly despatched I to an island near Cape Catochi, which captured over one hundred of one of the bands preparing .to invade the island. The fate of these tnen, we fear, will be that of others of the expedition, un less it has been planned more wisely than such invasions usually are. The unfortunate issue of :11franda's expedition is still within the recol- lection of many. We look %%lilt painful interest for the next intelligence from `'pain, for unless the expectations 01 ilefeetion in the Government troops and a general riseot'tlte C HS in all of he expedition are realized, its end, however con •ageous and resolute the men, is likely, from - e.r it rippraratices, to prove . uttiorlonalt P.

Lo• pez and his aid were arrested and taken before Judge Nichols of the District Court. There being no evidence against the parties, they were discharged, at a quarter before twelve o'clock. The crowd in the Court room was lin tnense, and the decision of the Court was re ceived with much enthusiasm. Gen. Lopez was escorted to his lodgings by the crowd. He made a speech, in which he expressed his determin ation to carryout his present project at all hazards. He is a man of pleasing appearance, and very intelligent. He made quite a favorable impres sion upon our citizens. He left, accompanied by his Aid, at 7 o'clock on Sunday morning, for Mobile.

For this the world has to thank the president of the French republic. Germany, al . ter all its struggles, has advanced bat little in overcoming its Teutonic sluggishness, and has not yet done talking of constitutions, electors,' margravines, palatines, and all the rubbish of the last twelve centuries. Liberty has nut advanced practically a single step in Germany. The king of Prussia has prostrated it in his kingdom, and is trying to do the same in Denmark. Austria has strangled every remnant of h, and Rus*fa has aided every power to prostrate the people. Everytvltcit, kings, have prevailed.
