Cuban relations have been for some days under consideration by tho Cabinet, ami a line of policy has been determined upon which must very speedily result in a change of conduct on the part of the Spanish offici als towards the American flag and Ameri can interests. All the military posts upon cur Southern coast are to be strengthened, and the forces increased, and the Gulf sqaud run to be immediately augmented;and here after, if any Spanish vessel shall fire into any American vessel, or otherwise insult the flag, prompt and summary chastisement therefore will be inflicted, without a rerort to the foolishness of argument with ths Coutl ol Madrid. The adoption of measures of this character were long since imperative ly demanded. They don't like to be Sold. A meeting of " Independent Whigs" was held in ihe county court house in the city of Philadelphia, on the 24th ull., at which it was resolved that "the new element of se cret political organization is incompatible with manliness and fairness of political pur pose;" that "the progress of this element in the Commonwealth has corrupted the integ rity of political action;" and that its effects "may bo traced too clearly at Hartisburg, where the State has narrowly escaped tho ignominy of a Senatorial election which was the confessed aim of pecuniary corruption, and where we have seen, through the agency of known members of this secret combina tion, the Presidency ol the United Slates of fered to aN.

Bills are now pending in the Legislature for new- banks, whose aggregate capital would amount .to sls 250,000, and whose circulation might amount to three times that sum. Old banks are asking for mi increase of capital to the amount of St 600,000, and Savings Banks ure a-kittg for charters to the amount of S2 655.0C0. The total of banking capital in the State would thus be $19,505,000 in one year.

Hence, with the exception of those not containing more than sixteen octavo pages each, for which, under certain cottui lions,the act of August 30th, 1652, has. made special provisions, no publication, although folded and unbound, can be permitted to pass in the mail as a 'pamphlet,' instead of a 'book,' unless its scope and subject are suoh as to bring it burly within the distinc tive definition above given."

Fir*! Avsisiiint Postrnastei General. Isaac V. Fowler, Postmaster, New York. Coal and Ore in Urndford. We have oflen referred lo the mineral de posits of Pennsylvania as the great source of wraith to her enterprising and rapidly in creasing poplulation. The early completion of the North Branch Canal has turned the allHtion of some of our enterprising capital ists and business men to a coal and iron ore region in Bradford county, Pa., heretofore but little known beyond its immediate local ity. During the past yearjlie Barclay K. R and Coal Company was organized for the development of tbia region. It was char tered by the Legislature at the last session, and has an authorized capital of (1,400,001, with power lo conatruct railroads, &c.,fq/ all purposes pertaining to its business. lis prop erty consists of 3000 acres of land, In which, we are informed, a si*„ # feel vein of semi bituminous coal has been proven to the ex tent of 1150 acres within the outcrops, and a vein of iron-ore Irom three to eight feet thick, underlying 1600 acres within the out crops. Also large deposits of fire-clay of a good quality at the pool of the Stale dam, at Towanda. The Company own a large basin foi loading boats, and 34 acres of land in and contiguous to the borough limits. From this point lo Their mines the company are now about making their railroad, which, when completed, will be the avenue- of transit to the N. B. Canal of all the coal, iron-ore, lum ber, &u., in that region—embracing a (.oa! area of over 5000 acres within the outcrops; an iron-ore area of over 10,000 acres within Ihe outcrops, and 50,000 acres of the best limber land. The property of the Company is said to be free from debt of any kind. Of its authorized capital it hat ist-ued (600,000 of stock, reserving the remainder, (600,000, for the use of tl.ojcompany. Of the (600,- 060 auld, 6400,000 waa given for its real estate, and (300,000 sold for cash, at par, and appropriated lo building their railroad and other improvements. The property of tlys Company lying in the most Northeastern extension of the bituminous ooal field of the Slate, about 30 miles South of the N. York Stale line, and 375 miles from tide-water at New York city, it is believed, must prove to the owners of its stock a profitable iuveit vestmeut, and add largely to the tonnage ol the North Branch State Canal Ledger. Trouble In the Camp. The Telegraph, Ihe Administration Know- Nothing organ at Harrisburg, of which the Rev. Miller (the Governor's Flour Inspector) is editor, is evidently frightened at the reck lessness of the Legislature. It appeals to the people and to the press to " speak in unmis takable language to those who are misrepre senting their constituents, and blasting the financial prosperity and prospects of Penn sylvania." The Parson knows that in ma king this appeal, he is but insulting the peo ple. The majority in the Legislature care nothing for the people at large—they feel responsible alone to the Know-Nothing lodg es to which they respectively belong. They ) have taken an oath to obey those lodges in nil things, and the people and the press might as well talk tojhe moon as to Know- Nothing members of Assembly, and the Governor's Flour Inspector is well aware of this lact. "No good pan come out of Naza reth," and nothing bus down-right villainy call be expected from the present Legisla ture—composed, as the majority is, of bro ken down political hacks, who are the very scum and dross of society. The Telegraph tells us that they (the majority in the Legis lature.] are " blasting the financial prosperi ty and prospects of Pennsylvania." True enough, indeed—and th's is the very perdic tion we made previous to Ihe election ; and we, in common with every true Democratic paper in the State, warned the people not to permit our Legislature and the Executive department to jtasg into the keeping of mid- I night oath-bound conspirators. But our warnings wore not bended—the people for a time forgot them A Ives—and now, after three mouths management of the affairs ol the State, the Governor's Know-Nothing organ informs the people thst Ihe prosjterity, honor and prospects of the State are about to be ruined and blasted ! Well, well—if the peo ple are determined pot to hear, we asrure the.-n they will feel the effects of lire I error they committed IsM fall, and before the lapse of many months they will rise in their might and oure the knavos they assis ted to place in power. Mark the predic tion! The following sensible remarks of the Lancaster Ext/miner —the organ of the Whigs of the " old guard"—are as true as they are appropriate if this time. The Philadelphia Nnrlh American had a whinning article about the recklessness of the Legislature, and with tears in his eyes, the editor appealed to "Sams ' representatives at Harrieburg to de sist from the efforts they were making to ruin the character of our State, and swamp the people in one common ruin. It is in an swer to the North American that the Lancas ter Examiner used this language : The Legislature is doing just what observ ing and thinking men, who are familiar with the history of politics and parties, knew it would do. The North American will not venture to say it had reason to eipect any other action from a Legislature constituted like the present. It is but fulfilling its desti ny. Neither should the North Amtriean complain, for it aided in bringing about the existing state of affairs. Ara not three-fourths of the members of the Legislature "Ameri cans " It is true, as the North American says, "charters tie being granted wiih a reckless ness and immoderation which have not in a very great while been equalled in this State" —but then it must be remembered that for "a very great while" the oid parties had conirol. The people however, at last got tired of the old pirlie*, with tbeir old fash ioned notions, and wanted a change—the North American sailing with the popular cur rent. The people wanted a know nothing legislature, and they have got one! We doubt, also, whether the N. A. is correct in saying the action of the Legisla ture is causing " serious alarm." If the Spring elections throughout the Slate be any indication of popular sentiment, the K 4 N's. ate delighted with the acts of their represen tatives at llarnsburg,—at least if half what the K. N. papers say is true. The "alarm'' will cpme in due time, no doubt—probably after the mischief is done —but it is not felt yet. SPEIIINO our IN MEETING.—We knew that the corruption and profligacy of the present Know-Nothing Legislature, were becoming apparent to every man in the Stale; but still we did not tbirik the editors of that pure new parly were eo willing to acknowledge it- Yet such is the fact, as is evinced by the fol lowing, clipped from the liarrisburg Itemi one of "Sam's" organs: "The fact is, legislation has fallen into bad hands. A set of political scoundrels took advantage of the late revolution iu po litical sentiment, and where they did not honestly succeed— fraud wss resorted to, in order to accomplish tbe object. The legisla tion of this session, its glaring absurdities and villainy, to make use of the mildest letms, will be execrated by every honest man in the Commonwealth. The honor of the State is bartered and sold by a secret conclave, as if they had no masters, hor were in any way responsible lo public opinion. Banks are chartered amid boisterous merriment, and foreign railroad capitalists are tbe 'lions' who are worshipped at the shrine of mammon. When will Moses descend from the mount and cast down (he golden calf? THE CASE or Da. BIALC On Monday last, the Supreme Court of this State granted a writ ol error in the case ol Beale, the dentiet, convicted a few months since of an outrage on Mies Mudge, one of his patients. Tbe Court will fix a day when tbe case will be argued, and if the reasons are sustained, a new trial will be granted, and (he case will most probably be certioraried to the Supreme Court for trial—the defendant, in the mean time, being admitted to bail. The grounds upon which the writ of error was granted, are: Ist. That the jury, instead of being sworn in the usual form to try the cause and render a true verdict "acoordiog to the evidence," was swore to "tiy the guilt or innooence of the defendant." 3d. That instead of being sentenced to "solitary confinement at labor" he was sen tenced to "imprisonment at haul labor." moMTOCR SANK. On Tuesday of la| week, in the Senate Mr. Buckalew called up Senate bill 380, to incorporate tbe Montinr Bank of Danville- Passed second -readig, and on its final pas sage. Mr. Fry remarkol that the bill had been reported from the lorn mi lice with a nega tive recommendation; He desired to know what necessity there was for the establish ment of this bank, and whether there was any other bank in the same locality 1 Mr. Crabb supported the bill. He replied that there was another bank in Danville, with a capital of *200,000, but that thire was a very large business done thare, and more banking capital was necessary. Hs ventured to suy that more business was done in Montour county in one week, then there was in Lehigh county in a month ; end if e bank was necessary in Lehigh, there was an infinitely greater necessity for another one in Montour. Mr. Killinger said, be would vote against the bill, because it would be useless to pass it, as it would unquestionably be vetoed by the Governor.

HENRT WARD CxecHZR, in a lute lecture delivered at Hartford, Connecticut, thus raps the "Know-Nothings"over the bead: He opposed the Know-Notbings, ami said that the idea of danger to American institn. tions from the influx of foreigners was as ab surd as would be the belief that the waters of the Atlantic ocean-could be turned to milk by emptying into them all the milk pans of the country. "When I eat chicken," said Mr. Beecher, "Uan't l*come chicken. Chick en Uconei it is, he continued, with the Irivbmen m-t t Lrs German, who poer into this country—they come to the digestion of a young republic, which "swallows them as foreigners, but turns them into Americans." He thought there was infinitely less to tear from the industrious and hardy Irishman who comes among us with his pick-axe and apade than there was from the corrupting influence of those "degenerated sens of not degenera ted sires;" who, born on American soil, think it needful to go to Europe to get qn educa tion, and after travelling over the continent, and misrepresenting all that is American, come back to their native land filled with su preme disgust of every thing American, and affected admiration of monarchist customs. These snobe were well descrbied in John Randolph's reply to one of their own kind in Congress, who twitted the sarihstic gen tleman from Roai oke on his "home educa rion"—iu which Itaitdolph responded thus: " The gentleman reminds me of the lands about the head waters of the Monooxahela, which are poot by nature, and cultivation tias entirely exhausted them!" t>!Tl-nBANCS AMONG Til* KNOW-NOTIIINC". —Tito Grand State Council of K. N.'s, assem bled at Laneafler on Tuesday, for the pur pose of transacting "business of importance'' to the Order, but broke up on Thursday efter noon in confusion. The cause of the diffi cully is understood to be opposition to the proposed open organization. The public sentiment runs counter to secrecy and oath bound political societies. Gen. Cameron Ex Governor Johnston and Gen. hvin were among those who left the Council in disgust at the proceedings. Won't all hooeel, right-thinking men soon leave the Order in disgust 1 MEETING or Ltacoa DEALERS— The bill abolishing all tavern licenses, which has passed the House snd is pending in the Sen ate, has aroused quite a feeding of opposition ia those who are most immediately interest ed. On Monday night a meeting of those engaged in the traffic, was-held in Lancas ter, at which it was resolved that a commit tee should go to Harrisburg and endeavor to prevent the passage of the law. In Phil adelphia also, ibe liquor dealers have been homing meetings lor the purpose of remon strating against the passage of the law. It is expected that the bill will pass the Sen ate.

The large anms of money annually expen ded for ecboots might be rendered much more .useful, if teachers would lake more paina to vitalize the instructions which they give. There is a wonderful arrangeraen I in the physical system by which the blood, be fore ii is sent out into the general circulation, is first of all made to pass Through the ramifi cations of the lungs. There it absords the oxygen gas which changes its color from al most black to a bright scarlot; it ia thns vitalized. Oxygen is carried round to every part of the 6ystem, and, uniting with the carbon by natural affinity, keeps up the vital heat. The object of all true education is to vital ize knowledge. Some tescbers instruct their scholars very thoroughly, who never educate them at all. They teach them to commit the rules of their Arithmetic or Grammar by heart, but never lead them to comprehend a single principle; makelhem learn thousands of names of places, without giving them any idea of Geography, and teach them to read fluently in French or Latin, without under standing a principle of the structure of lan guage. This is all mere instruction, and is a very distinct thing from education. One is dead knowledge, (he other knowledge vital ized, full of living affinities, uniting itself with all surroondiug circumstances with rea dy tact and correct application, and causing the eye to sparkle with delight, and the lips to open with incipient wisdom. As the twig is beut, the tree is inclined— As (be youth is instructed, the man devel opes. In all the walks of life, we meet with many who have infinitely more knowledge than ability to apply what they know.— Strong vitalizing power and afiinilv is more important than extensive erudition in any department of life. The lawyer who under stands ptinciples is a safer guide than he whose knowledge is merely technical, how ever thorough. The physician who keeps in view great laws of health will be more suc cessful than he who merely undertakes le fight each symptom in detail, and the divine whose heart glows with love will do the world more good than Dr. Dryasdust, who is acquainted with all systems of Theology. Knowledge not vitalized is a dark, heavy apoplectic thing. It stultifies the mind in stead of invigorating and refreshing, clogs the wheels of thought instead of stimulating them, fills up the head with cumbrous and confused details, useless, and perpetually in the way, like the heterogeneous stores of everything at Balakiava. A healthy vitality is ever gathering new stores of knowledge; it hungers and thirsts for facts, and draws them to it, as the magnet draws the steel filings. But without this, knowledge may be as useless as food to the jnsn who cannot digest it. To excite and stimulate the mind to feed upon knowledge, the teacher must himself possess it in other than in a mere dead, dry, technical form. He must feel an interest in leaching, and have the faculty of infusing into the healthy pupil his own spiritual na ture. In regard to elementary studies par ticularly, the young who have recently been learning themselves,generally make the best instructors. They feel more interest in com municating, and remember more vividly, all the obstacles to thorough, accurate knowledge. Like travellers who have just passed over an intricate and difficult road, they remember where they wqre at fault, and the ways in which tbey where extri cated. Our common school education ia justly the pride of the land. Instead of an old dame's school, where the digest of knowl edge for the little urchin was conveyed in the dryest arid crosses! possible way, tho principal danger at the preseut time is that these exercises are mado so interesting by the biiek, cheerful young teacher, that our young people become too fond of their books for health. But with proper arrangements, through the agency of Normal sc.iools, much of the mere book-learning is dispen sed with; the heavy, dry, because only half-understood, parts of knowledge, wbioh most strain the mind are simplified, and the whole wotk of education conducted with far lees friction, both to the physical snd mental system.— Ledger. To the new Boitrds of School Directors. The law is very definite, respecting the duly of each board, to levy a lax, on or be fore the first Monday of June, of each year.

The Peace Progress- The fir.M of the four pointe which has been unanimously agreed to by the Vienna Con gress, reads as follows: The abolition of the exclusive Protectorate of Russia in Moldavia and Wallachia, a guar antee of the privileges accorded to those provinces by the Sultan, and placing them 'under the guarantee of the Five Powers. The latest despatch from Vienna, dated Friday evening, says: "The Conference if progressing favorably. The second point was either settled to-dsy, or will be to-mor row. It most be remembered tbat the ques tion of war or peace is not decided nntil the third point is settled. The Paris correspondent -of the London Timet telegraphs, under lbs date ef Friday evening, as follows The news from Vi enna appears favorable to peaos, and the people are disposed to believe dial the con ferences will be attended with a happy re sult." Count Nesselrode will proceed to Vienna, when the negotiations become critical. The new Czar has given strong evidence of abiding by the plans traced out by bis father, and tbat be would make no conces sions. Rumors are current of a new basis of an arrangement, including the freedom of the Black Sea, the opening of the Danube, and the erection of Turkish forts etc., in Asia. Lord RaglSn, in hi* latest despatch, ad mits that the enemy is actively engaged in throwing up new works that enfilade the trenchee, and that vast convoys of provisions and ammunition continue to enter the city. Some weeks will probably elapse ere either the Conference or the singe come to a con clusion. The roller si the Cant la Warlike! Accounts irom St. Petersburg, probably re liable, of date March 9th, state that the sub stance of the Czar Alexander's speeches to the representatives of the different bodies and administrations of the States, may be condensed into these words" I wilt main tain firmly tbe plana traced out by my fath er!" In his address to the Council of Stale, the officers of the Guard, and a deputation of nobles, who reported concerning the mi litia, tbe Czar expressed himself vet more strongly. " f solemnly declare," said he, " that I will.not give up the first inch of Rus sian territory to onr enemies! I will take good care to prevent their penetrating further on the toil of our country, and never, never —may my hand wither first—will 1 affix my signature to a treaty which shall bring the slightest dishonor on the national honor!" This speech was responded to with vehe ment applause. Alexander's Speech to the Corps Diplo matique. The Czar's speech to the members of the Corps Diplomatic, on the Tib, was more tem perate in tone, and is as fellows: " I aan persuaded, gentlemen, that all your Courts feel sincere sorrow at the misfortune that has belallen us. I have already recei ved proofs of it from all sides; they have greatly moved me, and I stated yesterday, to the ministers of Prussia and Austria, how much I appreciated them. I solemnly de clare hero before you, gentleman, that I re main faithful to all the sentiments of my fa ther, and that I will persevere in the line of political principles which served as a rule to my uncle, the Emperor Alexander, and to ray father. These principles are those of the holy alliance. If that alliance no longer ex ists, it was not my father's fault. His inten tions were always upright and loyal; and, if recently they were misunderstood by aome persons, 1 do not doubt that God and history will do him justice. lam ready to contri bute towards a good understanding, on the cond.tion which he accepted. Like him. I desire peace, and wish to see the evils of war terminated ; but if the conferences which are about to open at Vienna do not lead to a result honorable for us, then, gentlemen, at the head of my faithful, Russia, I will com bat, with the whole nation, and will perish sooner than yield.
