Moot lite Washington U •n.) 412considerablejportioi . _the public press has given eirculationi'lf not some degree of credence, to strange rum*s, apparently emanating from Cuba. These rumors are to the effect that the British governmient is actively instigating that of Spain toemanOipate the slaves now on the -is land; that-the inducement to this step on the part Of Spain is toil l the opening of the ports of Cu. be, under Briti g uaranty, for the importation of negroes front Africa to serve fora term of pars as apprentices. and then to be left free up on the island; and finally, that the Spanish gov ernment is incliied to regard the whole *opal situ' with some favor,in th e view that the adop tion of such a mea sure must, at least, forever fate l. t that annexation of Cuba'to the Vnited . , We have no ;reason to believe that these re anare sustained by any official information, or I y other reliable and sufficient evidence.— ; as stated, they assuredly present a play i for the barbarihation of Cuba by giving that fair I island over in the course of a few years to the sway of a hordo of savage negroes, itho under the name of fi4edom, would be the slaves of a horrible szarehi. This doom—the fates of Hay- I ti, and so muchl the worse, because Cuba would , give the larger!field for its development—would be all "that could be hoped for the " Queen of the Antilles," if the plan of emancipation and Afri can immigration as ob.ive stated should take ef fect. If, on iii# other hand, the term of appren ticeship both foi the emancipated slaves and the imparted Afrie+ng should ba azidanama, as aee)rd tug to some statements, it is to be, to about the average of elaiie life in Cuba, then the opening of the ports of i Cuba for the importation of Finch apprentices is of course only another name for a gigantic ezpa4sion and legalization of the slave trade Now, tchile it is undoubtedly true that the condition df Cuba and the policy both of Eng land and of Spain in respect to it are such as to demand the careful attention of the government of the United tates to the whole subject, yet it is not creditable exept upon the clearest. and full est eviden ,'t is a fact scarcely conceivable— that those gosiernments should lend themselves, the one to thei enforeeniant and the other to the adoption of ai scheme manifestly involving eon sevecnces so unspeakably deplorable. this as'it may, however, there can be no doubt that t e adoption of a policy, either by Great - Brig ,or Spain, designed to renew in Cobs, upon of large scale and in an aggravated form, the hors and sufferings of Hayti, must ui9te rouse and te against it as a single man the masses of th population of all sections of the trnited State*.

The New York Commercia/Advrerisar, a very staid and consistent politico-religious journal, of the Presbyterian denomination, makes the fol lowing sensible and liberal remarks in respect to the character of Gavazzi. We are itlad to see that the Protestants of this country rightly ap• predate this agitator: "One redeeming feature in the whole unpleas ant business is the unanimity with which the city authorities of Montreal, and the people thereof, without distinction of creed, and the Canadian press without an exception, so far as ; we know, having depreciated this interference with the liberty of speech. And by the way, there is almost an equal agreement in the estimate of Gavaui and his mission. We have more then once exreeteed doubts of the utility of the, dale of agitation of which he is the type. We much doubt its Christianity, for the good reason that it evinces very little Christian temper. In the case of Gera= this is particularly evident.— Nor can we conceive why a gentleman, so thor oughly disgusted, an he professes to be, with the f genius and institutions and practices of Popery, should still cling With such fondness to its titles, and its robes, when he appears as the anti-Po pery lecturer, unless he is prompted by a morbid desire to produce effect. We met the gentleman the other day in a daguerreotype gallery, attired i in a layman's ordinary dress—but let that pass. Nor can we estimate Mr. Gavaui so high as I some do as an orator. That he is a good *tor, or rather would be, were not the acting so very lapparent, we freely admit. We acknowledge that. he is a great-odor, but we cannot call him I a great orator. Nor, judging from the high &um , posaed en tabu by the English papers do we think thit the American people have been quste so much beguiled by his pretentiona de clamation as English audiences were." The Return of 'Justice In the year 1842, Thomas W. Dorr, a gentle- man of education, of eminent talent 3, and allied to the most aristocratic families of Rhode Is land, was engaged in a revolution which related in giving to that people the right of suffrage, which for upwards of 200 years had been denied them. For being thus engaged, Mr. Dorr was 'pro nonneed an ont!aw, &price was pieced urea his head as a traitor, and tie was compelled to fly the State. He sou ht and found an asylum in Con cord, N. H., where he war, protected by Gov. Hubbard, and Gen. Franklin Pierce, now Presi dent of the United States. After the lapse of a year, ho returned to Rhode Island, wax arrested, charged with high trimion, convicted by a pack ed jury, and sentenced by a corrupt Judge, the tool of power, and to be imprisoned for life in the penitentiary. He went to prison remained there upwards of a year, when he was pardoned on condition that he would swear allegiance to the poeFer that had wronged and oppressed him. This he refused to do; but left his cell almost ruined in constitution, by the sufferings he had endured. Foryears the party that had consig.ned Mr. Dorr to . a dungeon, employed itself assiduously in en deavoring to annoy and insult him, and if possi ble bring him down to their own level. He paid no attention to them ; but devoted , himself to the great cause of , political reform, in which he en gaged in the prime of life. He has lived to see his party and his friends triumphant. And now that he has triumphed over his ene mies, and has seen Rhode Island thoroughly rev olutionized, he is offered by the people the office of Chief Justice oT the Supreme Court. They demand his elevation to that high post of honor; and it is believed•tliat one day next week, Mr. Dorr will be placed at the head of that very bench which ten years ago sentenced him to a prisos.

Mr. Walker will do honor to his country in any station he will accept, but he is specially qualified by his late official relations with the government, for the place he is now- cho seu to fill." The • following paragraph is from the .Vational intelli'gent-c - r, and the consecutive extracts from the Washington tizion. TUE MissloN To CHINA —We understand that the Hon. Robert J. Walker has so far re covered- from the indisposition -under which he has long labored, consequent upon a slight acci dent which befel him while in England, that he has concluded to except the office of Commission er in China. offered him some time since by the President, and that he will probably set out on his mission about the first of October. Mr. Walker's views in regard to out, trade with China and Asia are fully set forth in his several Treasury Reports, and especially in that of December, 1845 In that report Mr. Walker concluded his views on this subject with the fol lowing prophetic remarks: "Our ports upon the Gulf, with those upon both oceans fronting upon Europe from the east, and Asia from the west, occupying the central position between all the continents of the globe, tearer to them all by convenient route than any other nation, including an easy access to the whole interior of our own country, we want only the ocean steamships of adequate strength, speed, and numbers to git e us the command of the trade of all nations. Nor should we forget that, in carrying our trade among the great and populous nations of Asia, and facilitating intercourse with that vast region, passing from coast to coast in the short period of twenty days, with monthly or weekly steamships. the light of Christianity, following the path of commerce, would return with all ifs blessings to the East, front which it rose It these regions commerce mast be the precursor of Chr'lstianity; commerce, which teaches peace and intercourse between nations; which declares that man is not the enemy of man, nor nation of nation, but that the interests of all countries and of all mankind are identical, and that they will all advance mist. rapidly under the genial influence of an unrestricted reciprocal trade and intercourse. By our recent acquisitions on the Pacific—Asia his suddenly become our neighbor, with a placid intervening ocean, invit ing our steamships upon the track of a cam-• inenv greater than that of all Europe combined. This commerce is ours, if our merchants and Gov ernment t•boultl, by their united energie,, secure for us with Asia a rapid and frequent communi cations by steam. Our products and our manu factures, and especially our coarse cotton fabrics, us precisely what are desired by several hundred lions or twos,- people, veto inn sena us tines in return their specie and their rich productions, so few of which are raised within our limits." Lions of Mr. Walker, as regards the advent of Chin ' Christianity in as the result of increasing _ trade and intercoe . seem to be on the eve of fulfillment, as indica in the proclamation in favor of Christianity the rebel chief, not ins probably now the ne tapemr of China. Thii proclamation, if the acts are truly stated, is the most striking event the world .has witnessed since the unfolding of the banner of the Croat by Constantine at the head of the imperial legions or . Rome. We are sure we hut echo the voice of the whole American people in wishing entire sneeess to Mr. Walker in this great and arduoua trust confided to him by the President, of opening the trade of China and the Fast to our own country and that of the world. • tor Tin ONLY' egla.—The_ Slave trade in Cuba appears to be flourishing with unwonted vigor just now.

AND Tag YORK 4k, Eaza ROAD.—A New York correspondent of the Buf falo Cowier gives some interesting information relative to the operations of the New York and. Erie Railroad. He says, "New York and Erie railroad stock fell yesterday 6 per cent., closing at 81.1. The cause assigned is the fact that the company passed by its semi-annual 3 per cent. dividend. The Directors unanimously postponed the consideration of a dividend to the Ist of Oc tober. The Company's 6scal"year terminates on the 30th of September, when a pablic statement of its affairs is to be made and the annual ekc tion of officers takes place. There is a good deal of fluttering and hard talk aniong the holders of this stock, for the very geed reason that none of them have ever been able to satisfy themselves whether the road ever actually earned a dividend. The construction of the double track now in pro gress, will bring its expenditures to over 830,- 000,000 and in view of the liabilities maturing, the Company cannot pay another dividend in cash. If they had the material, they might fol low the example of the Mani: Coal Company, which a few days since declared a very handsome dividend, but made it payable in coal.

The writer adds: • 1 "The clerk , in the departments begiulto learn now, that though broad 'Artisans and rann friends of the 'powers that be,' they are required to per form every reasonable Or requisite duty, and that their superiors, in spite of frowns, , fear favor', or reward,' wlll not confer offices, as mere sinecures, upon any 'one." lei. atatement appears iu the &sum Trani eript, vouched for by the editor frtun his person al knowlefige, to the effect that, thi. sexton, some of oar Atnerican fishing vessels will gu forth to the tishets armed and prepared to defend their rights un or the treaty, as they underataod them.

If we are sot mistaken, melt Is &boob* the fart. Encourage your own, is a. good motto, if by so doing you can get as good as article as you could by encouraging in dustry eoutewher• else. sow, that the mechatiles of Erie can famish as pod • piece of cabinet work, or as good a garment, as those of any other place is en undeniable fact. Then why don't they, yea ask. We'll answer it in plain language. Because whenever any of us want a good arti cle, we either go or send East for it ;--that is, when we have money to spend, we spend it away from home, but when we want to get trusted we go to our neighbor, jew him down, and when he pressata his bill we think him very ins. pudent, and perhaps pay it when we get ready or not at al lgow Is not this true in • great measure? And is'ot it as plain as the noon-day sun that if all of us, great and map, rich and poor, had spent oar money in " encouraging our own" instead of dis-eonraging them, that the mechanics of Erie would lave been better off, we would have been as well off, and our little city, somewhat larger. There is a gnat deal of truth in the remark that a prophet bath honor save in his own country, and it is notorious that a vest or. a pair of pants, a reeking chair or a dressing bureau, is a little better, in the eyes of too many, if mad, in a large city than if made here at home.

S. Bank of Pennsylvania; and is now being fitted op in a style that we are confident will be unsurpassed by any office in the Union. While the old location might have been. perhaps, a few steps nearer the center, it possesses thedisadvantage of being next door to a hotel, around the steps of which, at all hours, there was • IliKtllatieDas congregation of poli ticians, backmeb, servaets and people generally, making it really a most daring feat for a lady to attempt to ran the guantlet of eyes and remarks to get into it. Then again; the lobby, u well as the work room, were totally inadequate to . the business of the oflice. They were close andcontined, badly ventillated, and worse lighted; whereas the new lo cation has all the advantages of light and room, with the additional recommendation that both the occupants and the public arc not compelled to endure the foal air of s hotel kitchen and its necessary out-building.. Altogether we think the public ought, and we have no doubt will be, sails lied with the change. Aside from the advantages of the new location as an office, the mere fact that Erie can boast of the hest °See in the Union, ought lobe a source of pride sualelest to quiet all mermen, if any are Indulged in.

The saving of distance between New Yerk and Erie is ll over the Dunkirk route, and 40 miles of over the iteffelts.. route. The new road also possesses advantages of lighter graded and easier curvatures.. It is believed that the coun try through which this road satins possesses the elements for supporting a road of this length, and that the saving of distance and the netive interest taking in its welfare by the citizens of Erie will divert a large portion of the throng tragic - over this short eUt.
