Gulf of Mexico, and the key of the . . channels of communication, by whomsoever made, across the Isthmus be. tween the two oceans. No Govern-s . ment is more sensitive upon such . points, or more prompt to seize every opportunity to advance these objects, or less scrupulous in the means employed in improving or in making opportunities and pretences for extending her power and influence. We have ‘no faith in her moderation, and no doubt of the strong desire she has . for the possession of Cuba as the pivot of a cammercial policy which, main~ tained by her fleets, would embrace in its scope the control of the trade of . half of this continent, and the great . marts of Asia and the South Seas. . Yet we are by no means convinced that Great Britain would venture to . . purchase Cuba, under existing cir. cumstances, while a chance remains ‘for its being otherwise kept from passing into the hands of the United . States. Her policy is eminently that of peace ; particularly with the United . . States. Her statesmen, of whatever party, know how essential to her prosperity at home, to the employment of an immense amount of her capital, and the consequent subsistence of many . thousand of her operatives, is uninter}rupted commerce with the United States. The same causes which make Cuba an uneasy possession to Spain-its contiguity to the United States, the sympathy between a large class of its inhabitants and those of the neighbor. ing republics, and the growing desires . on both sides for a closer political connection—-would deter a prudent nation edge of the world, and sutfered its pri. soner to languish in a dungeon in ig: . norance of the cause of his arrest or the crime imputed to him, The case, as presented, is this: Mr. Thrasher was arrested and confined . for some hidden cause. He was locked up for more than a month in a} close, damp and noxious dungeon ; during all of which time neither he nor his friends were informed of the crime charged against him, The next we hear of him, he has been convicted of high treason and condemned to an ignominious punishment; and that the U.S. Consul apand 1 did it to the best of my abilit After some wholesome advice, Jo was let off without further punishmed. Ventilation—Mrs. Swisshelm 1 a way peculiarly her own, of pressif a subject upon the attention of h readers. Here is what she says abo ventilation. If it does not set peop to thinking about the matter, no fi ther effort need be made: “People are beginning to ventil public halls, so that one can sometim. hear a lecture without being oblig to inhale other people’s cast off bres with its foul gases ; but churches ge peared in his behalf. It is not understood that time was allowed him, or . opportunities granted him to bring for. ward evidence in justification of his . conduct, or in refutation of the witnesses against him. ‘The government took ample time, and employed abundant means to have him accused ; but whilst these preparations were going on against him, he was a close priso. ner, and himself and friends studiously excluded from all knowledge of his imputed offence, and the nature of the . proof by which they were to be susstantiated. ‘This, we contend, was a gross violation of the treaty of 1795,a mere mockery of law. No man, however innocent, can escape condemnation, where any one is interested in his removal, if he is to be arrested upon secret information, and hept in close confinement until brought forth to be arraigned and con. demned. No time was allowed hin . . consumption, erally hold close communion, and w most brotherly pertinacity the si mouthful of air is breathed by t whole congregation. Sister Bro throws it out.of her lungs with a fd seeds of consumption in it, and th brother Jones takes it inio his che: and gives it back with a tobacco flaye and so on round, each one supplyi from his or her store house some an mai matter to make the precions lit morsel of breath, shut up within th four walls, good and thick for famil If their minds do become assimilated by a communion ¢ faith, their bodies might by the gene al union and communion, and mi up of the gases and vapors of thei mortal part. People who would ne eat out of the same dish with anoth or sip with the'same spoon, think ‘ne thing of taking into their lungs, an incorporating with their blook the par G . i] to prepare his defence ; no opportunity . to rebut evidence ; none to explain bis . ‘conduct, and none to. weigh the efr. cumstances and proofs upon which the . . Government relied to produce convic. from seeking to succeed to the embarrassments of Spain; much more from . paying largely for all the hazards and . expenses of a precarious dominion.— . To England, the possession would . . Spain does not feel. ‘The abolition of . think the boldest of her statesmen paying a hundred and iiity millions, for the sake of trying the Jarnciea expertment over again, with ile half million of slaves in Cuba. She could not retain them as slaves, without a convulsion among her philanthropists at home; and she could not carry out her emancipation schemes, without hazards and costs, the prospect oi which might well startle her into caution how she meddles with such dan. gerous affairs. If Spain were willing to sell, which she is not, at least yet, Great Britain is hardly ready to buy. Her policy is that Spain should be maintained in possession—that all changes of Government over the Island should be . discountenaneed, and things be kept jas they are, as loog as possible. She . will lend money, assist Madrid finanlciering, use all her influence, and in . case of an emergency send a fleet to {prevent any body else from getung . possession of Cuba; but much as she would desire to own it, we do not believe she is ready to close with any offer for the purchase, or that she will . bring further embarrassments, which . ligations. tion. Everything that has yet trénspired combines to stigmatize the jproceedings in this case as inquisity rial, arbitrary and in defiance of treaty ob“The next arrival from Havana may African slavery is a settled principle . throw some light upon this mysterious . ot British Government; but we should . transaction. bered that the Government will permight shrink from the responsibility of . mit nothing to appear in the pubile press in Mr. Thrasher’s behalf. We can get nothing from that source . which is not to the taste and in justi. fication of the authorities which’ conjdemned him. Tt is only thevagis pii. vate Channels his justification will evler be made known. All the avenues of publie light are closed to him, And such is the espionage of the Cuban rulers that even his personal friends may be indisposed to risk a similar fate by volunteering anything in his behalf. Up to the last dates trom } . . Washington, no complaint had been . ' laid before his own Government in his . behalf. The American Cabinet had . no official knowledge of his arrest, or . the causes which led to it. Whatever 'was done was undertaken upon the ‘rumors of the day. There has been . gross dereliction or deception somewhere; and the mortification at the suspicion that there should have been jany want of interest manifested for . him by the representative of his Gov~ . ernment in Ilavana, is aggravated by the fear that he may have fallena victim to this indifference. If the . But it should be re mems . ticles of foul matter which has passe off from the other’s system. We woul much rather submit to an indiscrimi nate use of tooth brushes than breath. It would not appear half s disgusting to put another person tooth brush into one’s mouth as i would be to take his cast out breat . into one’s lungs; and in a crowded church, without great care ‘in ventil ting, this process is regularly going o and so we just as regularly go off.” Death of Moolraj.--We learn fro the Singapore Zimes, that Moolra, . the celebrated Ex-Dewan of Mool ' who, it will be remembered, played very conspicuous part in the secon Sikh war, is dead. He expired ont i lth of August, off Purbutpoer, belo Diusur, on ie Ganges. Lhe pring . pal exploit of Moolraj, during the Sikl . war, was the desperate defence whiel] . he made of Morltan,-in Deeember an¢ . January, 1848-49. Even when driv . en from the city, which was carried by j the british by storm, he refused tq . submit; but, retiring to the citadel, ac ‘companied by a chosen band, he sh . the gates on his own conquered troo } . leaving three fourths of his army . the merey ot his enemies, He onl j surrendered when the fortress was 4 . perfect wreck, and he could fight n longer. Z’he siege occupied twenty seven days. In it the British loss we {two hundred and ten killed, and ‘ning . hundred: and eighty two wounded ;, and . upwards of thirteen thousand shot.am twenty six thousand shells were pour. jed into the fort and city. Moolr isurrendered on the 22d of Januax’ 1849, and, from that time to his dear he was held by the English aa. prisoner,

Gulf of Mexico, and the key of the . . channels of communication, by whomsoever made, across the Isthmus be. tween the two oceans. No Govern-s . ment is more sensitive upon such . points, or more prompt to seize every opportunity to advance these objects, or less scrupulous in the means employed in improving or in making opportunities and pretences for extending her power and influence. We have ‘no faith in her moderation, and no doubt of the strong desire she has . for the possession of Cuba as the pivot of a cammercial policy which, main~ tained by her fleets, would embrace in its scope the control of the trade of . half of this continent, and the great . marts of Asia and the South Seas. . Yet we are by no means convinced that Great Britain would venture to . . purchase Cuba, under existing cir. cumstances, while a chance remains ‘for its being otherwise kept from passing into the hands of the United . States. Her policy is eminently that of peace ; particularly with the United . . States. Her statesmen, of whatever party, know how essential to her prosperity at home, to the employment of an immense amount of her capital, and the consequent subsistence of many . thousand of her operatives, is uninter}rupted commerce with the United States. The same causes which make Cuba an uneasy possession to Spain-its contiguity to the United States, the sympathy between a large class of its inhabitants and those of the neighbor. ing republics, and the growing desires . on both sides for a closer political connection—-would deter a prudent nation edge of the world, and sutfered its pri. soner to languish in a dungeon in ig: . norance of the cause of his arrest or the crime imputed to him, The case, as presented, is this: Mr. Thrasher was arrested and confined . for some hidden cause. He was locked up for more than a month in a} close, damp and noxious dungeon ; during all of which time neither he nor his friends were informed of the crime charged against him, The next we hear of him, he has been convicted of high treason and condemned to an ignominious punishment; and that the U.S. Consul apand 1 did it to the best of my abilit After some wholesome advice, Jo was let off without further punishmed. Ventilation—Mrs. Swisshelm 1 a way peculiarly her own, of pressif a subject upon the attention of h readers. Here is what she says abo ventilation. If it does not set peop to thinking about the matter, no fi ther effort need be made: “People are beginning to ventil public halls, so that one can sometim. hear a lecture without being oblig to inhale other people’s cast off bres with its foul gases ; but churches ge peared in his behalf. It is not understood that time was allowed him, or . opportunities granted him to bring for. ward evidence in justification of his . conduct, or in refutation of the witnesses against him. ‘The government took ample time, and employed abundant means to have him accused ; but whilst these preparations were going on against him, he was a close priso. ner, and himself and friends studiously excluded from all knowledge of his imputed offence, and the nature of the . proof by which they were to be susstantiated. ‘This, we contend, was a gross violation of the treaty of 1795,a mere mockery of law. No man, however innocent, can escape condemnation, where any one is interested in his removal, if he is to be arrested upon secret information, and hept in close confinement until brought forth to be arraigned and con. demned. No time was allowed hin . . consumption, erally hold close communion, and w most brotherly pertinacity the si mouthful of air is breathed by t whole congregation.

People who would ne eat out of the same dish with anoth or sip with the'same spoon, think ‘ne thing of taking into their lungs, an incorporating with their blook the par G . i] to prepare his defence ; no opportunity . to rebut evidence ; none to explain bis . ‘conduct, and none to. weigh the efr. cumstances and proofs upon which the . . Government relied to produce convic. from seeking to succeed to the embarrassments of Spain; much more from . paying largely for all the hazards and . expenses of a precarious dominion.— . To England, the possession would . . Spain does not feel. ‘The abolition of . think the boldest of her statesmen paying a hundred and iiity millions, for the sake of trying the Jarnciea expertment over again, with ile half million of slaves in Cuba. She could not retain them as slaves, without a convulsion among her philanthropists at home; and she could not carry out her emancipation schemes, without hazards and costs, the prospect oi which might well startle her into caution how she meddles with such dan. gerous affairs. If Spain were willing to sell, which she is not, at least yet, Great Britain is hardly ready to buy. Her policy is that Spain should be maintained in possession—that all changes of Government over the Island should be . discountenaneed, and things be kept jas they are, as loog as possible. She . will lend money, assist Madrid finanlciering, use all her influence, and in . case of an emergency send a fleet to {prevent any body else from getung . possession of Cuba; but much as she would desire to own it, we do not believe she is ready to close with any offer for the purchase, or that she will . bring further embarrassments, which . ligations. tion. Everything that has yet trénspired combines to stigmatize the jproceedings in this case as inquisity rial, arbitrary and in defiance of treaty ob“The next arrival from Havana may African slavery is a settled principle . throw some light upon this mysterious . ot British Government; but we should . transaction. bered that the Government will permight shrink from the responsibility of . mit nothing to appear in the pubile press in Mr. Thrasher’s behalf. We can get nothing from that source . which is not to the taste and in justi. fication of the authorities which’ conjdemned him. Tt is only thevagis pii. vate Channels his justification will evler be made known. All the avenues of publie light are closed to him, And such is the espionage of the Cuban rulers that even his personal friends may be indisposed to risk a similar fate by volunteering anything in his behalf. Up to the last dates trom } . . Washington, no complaint had been . ' laid before his own Government in his . behalf. The American Cabinet had . no official knowledge of his arrest, or . the causes which led to it. Whatever 'was done was undertaken upon the ‘rumors of the day. There has been . gross dereliction or deception somewhere; and the mortification at the suspicion that there should have been jany want of interest manifested for . him by the representative of his Gov~ . ernment in Ilavana, is aggravated by the fear that he may have fallena victim to this indifference. If the . But it should be re mems . ticles of foul matter which has passe off from the other’s system. We woul much rather submit to an indiscrimi nate use of tooth brushes than breath. It would not appear half s disgusting to put another person tooth brush into one’s mouth as i would be to take his cast out breat . into one’s lungs; and in a crowded church, without great care ‘in ventil ting, this process is regularly going o and so we just as regularly go off.” Death of Moolraj.--We learn fro the Singapore Zimes, that Moolra, . the celebrated Ex-Dewan of Mool ' who, it will be remembered, played very conspicuous part in the secon Sikh war, is dead. He expired ont i lth of August, off Purbutpoer, belo Diusur, on ie Ganges. Lhe pring . pal exploit of Moolraj, during the Sikl . war, was the desperate defence whiel] . he made of Morltan,-in Deeember an¢ . January, 1848-49. Even when driv . en from the city, which was carried by j the british by storm, he refused tq . submit; but, retiring to the citadel, ac ‘companied by a chosen band, he sh . the gates on his own conquered troo } . leaving three fourths of his army . the merey ot his enemies, He onl j surrendered when the fortress was 4 . perfect wreck, and he could fight n longer. Z’he siege occupied twenty seven days. In it the British loss we {two hundred and ten killed, and ‘ning . hundred: and eighty two wounded ;, and . upwards of thirteen thousand shot.am twenty six thousand shells were pour. jed into the fort and city. Moolr isurrendered on the 22d of Januax’ 1849, and, from that time to his dear he was held by the English aa.. prisoner,
