What Becomes of Cuba
Thear aPpears to be nn doubt but, that England
is solicitious for the abolitition of slavery in Cu
ba. Out of this fact, the fillibusters are trying to
make capital in this wise:
" With the overthrow of civilization in these
Islands and their total abandonment to savage
ism it would be utterly impossible to preserve
the subordination of the blacks in the Gulf States.
Indeed, Cuba would be a volume of "free negro
ism," constantly vomiting fire and blood on the
neighboring coast, and at any moment. lititish
aristocracy, with its stupendous steam marine,
could bridge the straits of Florida, and hurling a
hundred thousand infuriated blacks upon the
coast, appeal to the hostility of race, and the la.
tent brutallity of the negro, and lay in blood and
ashes the fairest portion of the confederacy."
The 'overthrow of civilizzetion' means thcabol
ishing of slavery. Those who are caught with
this transparent bait, are green enough to be
humbugged into anything. If Spain choose to
free black population, for Heaven's sake let her
do it. Gud forbid, that Free America should
place lit rself in such a false position before the
foster mother of the most revolting system that
yet di , graced the earth. If the South choose to
foster and encourage a burning fire in her own
busoin,—and seek by all her legislation, to per
petuate and increase the same, instead of trying
to suppress it by some reasonable, safe, philan
throphic measure, let her take the responsibility.
It is of her own choosing. If she choose not to
be governed by reason and humanity, and en..
deavor by practical means to repair her vulnera
ble point, she has herself alone to blame. How
ever, we have no confidence in the bloody bone
pictures like the above, which certainly would
be wise, and particularly prolific geniuses oftlte
South are trying to frighten the timid with. It is
all for effect, the object merely being to hood
wink us moueyseeking, time.serving northern
ers, that they have the glory of out witting us,
and with self-satisfaction, chuckle over the con
. sumation of their real designs, which is nothing
more nor less, than to strengthen and perpetuate
their "peculiar institution." These men greatly
over estimate the importance of annexing Cuba
in our opinion, so far as this object is concerned.
"Drowning men will catch at straws." Their
system may be temporarily galvanized into life,
but it will die a natural death, in the course of a
few generations. So, go it ye cripples but come
out like men, own up, and don't "whip the devil
round the stump" in this style.—Mont. Ledger.
A Human Candk.—The Chinese Repository
tells a very singular story of the punishment in.
flicted . on a Chinese criminal. His offence, it
seems, was unpardonable, and it was determined
to make an example of him. Consequently, he
was bound round with cotton, saturated with tal.
low, and having been dipped till he presented the
appearance of a gigantic candle, was stuck up
on his father's grave and lighted. Of course
the poor fellow perished in slow torture. Was
ever device heard of so completely
Ttte _Niagara Falls Disaster.—The body of An-
drew Herman, one of the unhappy men whose
sad death at Niagara Falls has so largely excited
the sympathies of the public, has been recovered.
It was found near the landing of the Maid of the
Mist, below the Suspension Bridge. The head
was frightfully crushed, and the body had been
pierced. by a sharp stone. The body of Joseph
Avery, the poor fellow whose rescue was at
tempted by the life-boat and raft, has not been
recovered.
RABID SHEEP AND 14008.—About three or
four weeks since, we learn from the Dela
ware County Republican, a rabid dog got
into the sheep-fold of Thomas and Joseph
Miller, residing near Chadd's Ford, Chester
county, and killed three of the flock. Since
then, sixteen of the sheep have gone mad,
and been shot. The sheep were a superior
lot, of improved stock, worth eight or ten
dollars per head. One of the hogs belong
ing to the some gentlemen was also bitten,
and went mad. The Messrs. Miller design
killing six other hogs, which, they fear, have
been bitten. Their own dog 'vent mad,
and was ,also killed. It is a very tare oc
currence to record so much destruction
among animals from a rabid dog.
• KENTUCKY ELECTION:—The Democrats
have elected four of their candidates for
Congress,, namely—Linn Boyd in First
District; I. M . Elliott, in Sixth; J. C. Breck
enridge, in the Eighth ; and R. H. Stanton,
ih the Tentli. The Whigs elect the other six.
European News.
The U. S. mail steamship. Washington,
arrived in New , York, August 4th, bringing
four days later news from Europe, having
sailed from Southampton on the 20th of
July.
• fier news is very interesting and impor-•
tent, in a political as well as commercial
point of view.
Cotton was firm, but the price were un
changed since the sailing of the last steamer.
At London, flour had advanced two shill
ings, and wheitt three shillings in conse
quence of very heavy rains, which had in
jured the prospects of the harvest.
.At Liverpool also, flour had advanced Gd.
and wheat from 2d. to 3d.
Political affairs on the Continent were as
far as ever from a setile'ment. The Empe
ror of Russia, however, appears willing to
negotiate.
A crisis was impending in the TurkiSh
Cabinet, the result of which could not be
foretold.
In China the revolution was progressing
alarmingly. The rebels were in full pos•
session of Nankin, which city, at the date of
the last news was in a complete state of
anarchy and threatened with destruction.
- Queen Victoria was taken sick with the
measles, but the disease was progressing
favorably.
The representatives of England, France
' and Prussia had agreed upon a basis for the
proposed arrangement of the difficulties be
tween Russia and 'Turkey.
Costa, the man who created so much ex
citement on board of an Austrian brig, and
came near getting the St. Louis into a fight
on account of it, has been ordered to be giv
en up to the French Consul.
ENGLAND.--IL was generally reported
that Lord Palmerston would succeed to the
Foreign Secretaryship, the Earl of Ckiren
don exchanging to the Home Department.
Respecting the Eastern difficulties, there
is no doubt that the reception given by the
cabinet of St.. Petersburg to the first propo
sition from the powers was so favorable as
to warrant the expectation, that the question
in dispute will be settled without further
t delay.
The Russian Cancellor is said to have
declared to the French Ambassador that the
Czar will welcome the arrangement held
I out for his acceptance. The only motive
supposed to cause further' delay was the
necessity of obtaining the assent of Austria,
which consent is believed now to be on the
way to St. Petersburg. If a note framed by
the French government as a medium be
tween the demands of Russia and Turkey.
It is difficult to say if the following im
portant statement be premature ; but it has
an effect on public feeling. It came on the
20th, telegraphed from Berlin : That the
Czar had actually accepted the propoSal of
fered by France and England. This news
was reported to have been brought by stea
mers from St. Petersburg to Stettin ; then
published at Berlin and Dresden, and telt
graphed to Paris and London, where it con
siderably improved the funds. The public
fully believe that the main danger is over.
It was also telegraphed from Vienna to
London, under date of Constantinople the
I Ith, that n conciliatory' note had just been
issued by Redchid Pasha, which is consid
ered of a nature to bring negotiations at once .
to a conclusion.
The English and French fleets remain
still at Besilca Bay.
The Earl of Portsmouth is dead.
Since the sailing of the Washington, Par
liamentary proceedings have been chiefly o
local interest.
Lord John Russell replied to Lord Dud
ley Stuart that he doubted if the owners of
British ships aground in the Danube hnd
any claims upon Russia to keep the navign
tion open. Mr. Lnyard attempted to bring
on a discuSsion on the subject, but was pre
vented.
General news is very scarce.
The clipper ship Sovereign of the Seas
up for Australia. ,
The owners of the steamship Great Bri
tain undertake' that she shall reach Mel
bourne in sixty-five days from Liverpool, or
forfeit 40s. per ton on freight.
The Morning Chronicle has a telegraphic
despatch from Belgrade, of the lEah ult.,
stating that the Senate, being devoted to
Russia, had insisted that the reigning
Prince should abdicate in favor of his son.—
The Prince had been granted three days to
consider.
FRANCE.-A rumor is circulating thnt pri
vate intelligence reports that the American
Minister at Constantinople had addressed a
note to the Porte, announcing that the Uni
ted States would associate with other forces
to support the Turkish integrity, and would
henceforth claim a voice in the affairs of Eu
rope. It is disbelieved however.
It, is currently•reported that the condition
of tht Empress required the postponement
of the contemplated visit to the Pyreness,
and there is a good deal of grossip on the
subject.
The French press mostly think the East
ern difficulties as about over.
The Porte had paid the cash to the
French Treasury for 40,000 Vincennes ri
fles, and took the opportunity to contradict
the report that the Turkish finances were
exhausted.
The Moniteur publishes a decree that the
ordinance of Feb. Bth, 1827, will cease pro
visionally as to corn and flour imported from
the British possessions in Europe.
TURKEY;—The war party were much in
censed against the pacific policy of the Min
istry.
The statement that the Grand Vizier and
Redchid Pacha were dismissed from the of
fice on the 9th,, on account of personal dia.
sensionr, had been confirmed ; but the Sul
tan, refl, cting on the critical condition of af
fairs in the face of a change of ministry, re
instated both ere•night.
Mehemet Pacha, ex-Minister at London
is appointed Governor of Adrianople.
The Turks do not cease their warlike
preparations. .
RVSSIA.—The Ruesiono Were fortifying
Jassy at Bucharest, and had occupied Olte•
netza on the Danube. Agents were egita
ting the Servians and Bosmans.
Several influential men, forming the Aus
trian territory.
Te Deums had been sung in all the
churches for the Czar, and railroads, tele
graphs and trade with the rich districts of
Austria are held out as inducements for the
Russian alliance. The Moldavians are sure
to receive these promisee cordially, the Wel
lachians coldly.
Notwithstanding the favorable accounts
via Berling, from St. Petersburg, it. is
pecied the Russians will remain in the Prit..
cipalities until the spring, on the pretext
that the army are in winter quarters, and
cannot be disturbed ; or, at least, negotiations
will ensue whether the fleets or Russians
shall first take backward track, The Rus
sian head quarters were at Bucharest.
CHEAP GAs.—Gas is now supplied to pri
vnte consumers in Pittsburgh, at $l,BO per
1000 cubic feet, and to the city, for public
lights, at 81,14 per 1000. These are chea
per rates than have ever, up to this time,
been charged by any Gas Works in the
United States.
The Pittsburgh Gas Works are owned
by a Company, in which the city is a large
stockholder. The extent of street-mains
now laid, is equal to 144 miles. The quan
tity of coal carbonized during the year end
ing July Ist, was 108,455 bushels, product
of gas consumed during the same period,
33,447,324 cubic feet. The number of pri
vate consumers at the present time, is 1,540,
and public lamps 403. The net proceeds
of gas sold during the year, amounted to
:901,970 14, being at the average price of
$1,82 per 1000. The receipts from sales
of coke and tar, were nearly equal to the
cost of coal and slack. Coke is sold at 5
cents per bushel, and the demand is greater
than the supply. After paving a dividend
of 10 per cent. on all the stock, and current
expenses of the works, there was left a bal
ance of e 10,650 72 out of the year's profits.
which was credited to the Extension Fund.
