The new Premier is the Earl of Derby, who takes with him into ofHcc the small band of conservative statesmen whose adherence to tory traditions and unity of action have given them a sort of balance weight in Parliament. Their eleva tion to power is of course merely an accident which could only have been caused bv a pecu liar combination of circumstances. In itself the party has no moral or political weight, its only consideration being derived from the tal ents of its leaders. The latter have been forc ed into office on the shoulders of the radicals, in order to give fuller effect to public opinion on the refugee question by the combination of extremes, and as soon as they have served the ru Union wlilclitlic South Prizes. \ e lait several years of onr political hi.to- S* 7 wiU be C0 “P e, ! ed 2, probably been more prolific of domes- t0 - men ° f m0re C01 »Prehensn-e '/Sous and sectional broils, than any 1 a | d pr(>KrC831ve vtews.

But unfortunately for .f perpetuity of the Federal Union, these es- :'...! relations exist only in the Pindaric glo- tatisna of frenzy-stricken orators and bards. :>j have no "local habitation" in the hearts pe American people.

And os with tho trophies of our greatness, so with the anticipated achieve- hsti of life’s unmeasured way. Each sec- n is struggling to appropriate to itself the :'s fhare in the mutual benefits and com- . Dries of the Union. Instead of present- the world the proud spectacle of a har- ; lions constellation of sovereign States, re- r iig in rcvential obedience to the funda- laws of constitutional union, we are had? more than a conglomeration of jarring :i discordant materials, which no political Army can ever reduce to order. Experience .‘cell nigh established the conviction, that :i a union as the early Fathers of the Ke- 5c designed, is absolutely incapable of a r-snent existence.

Onr entire bis tre is but a protracted struggle between the v -tth iatd South for a preponderance in the t5ewl Councils. How long the frame-work of the Union will |®»i« these successive unnatural shocks, we *51 sot undertake to affirm; yet we cannot sispd the dark foreboding which weighs upon w heart, that, soon or late, its walls will be I-d uunder by the explosion of this accumu lated miss of combustibles.

As long |t> list destructive power is kept in subordina- |tios by the strong arm of the law, the South consent to the confederated relationship, ht the moment it crosses the threshold of the ttecative mansion and seizes tho sceptre of FPW, the fate of the Union is sealed; we jt-J that instant become two people in fact, ‘•sc already are in everything which makes honorable or even desirable.

These she will "■ or, progressive views Nothing can indicate more unmistakeably the unstable character of the relations between the English and French governments than this change. The recent defeat of the administra tion would not in itself have necessitated the resignation of Lord Palmerston and his col leagues if they lmd not been sensible that the opinions of the British nation were decidedly adverse to the spirit of subserviency which they had lately exhibited towards tho French autocrat. Abstractedly proper as were the al terations proposed in the existing laws in ref erence to foreigners, there was sufficient in the manner in which they were extorted from the fears of Lord Palmerston’s government to arouse the jealousy and sensitiveness of the English people, and to induce them to view with distrust a ministry which was so ready to yield to the alarms inspired by the military bravadoes of the Alonileur. The English have pride, as well as material interests, and their blood naturally boils at the assumption of a tone which implies, if it does not actually convey, a threat. The overthrow of a minis ter confessedly one of the most popular that has ever held the reins of power iu England, shows how deep rooted and universal is the feeling of resentment excited amongst them by such conduct, and how slight is the depend ence to be placed upon the continuance of the alliance between the two countries. The very defeat of this ministry cannot, in fact, be re garded in any other light than as a gauntlet thrown down to France, and as the commence ment of a series of complications which will in volve the whole of Europe in trouble. The best barometer of public feeling in con nection with political questions is to be found in the operations of the money market. It was only a few days since that we had occasion to note the fact that notwithstanding the depres sion attending the late panic, American stocks were again rising into favor abroad with a rapidity which nothing but political influences could explain. We expressed our belief that these influences were due to the precarious state of the relations between England and France, and the conviction that seemed to pre vail that the refugee question would prove the rock on which the entente cordiale would split. The resignation of the Palmerston ministry fully realizes the anticipations suggested by this circumstance, and we are now justified in looking upon the alliance between the two countries as virtually disolved. That public feeling in England should have precipitated a result which Louis Napoleon may have remotely contemplated, but certainly did not immediately desire, is, we think, cred itable to the spunk and manliness of the Eng lish people. In the universal expression of in dignation elicited by the late abominable at tempt .upon his life, the French Emperor thought that he had found the means of extend ing his system of political terrorism to consti tutional countries. It is but right that he should be taught that what he mistakes for a tribute to the merits of that system is but the expression of a moral sentiment, which applies equally to the nafety of the humblest cit izen as to his own. In the excess of his eager ness to avail himself of this supposed feeling, he has overleaped the barriers of prudence, and destroyed in a moment the fruits of his last few years political scheming. Had he been intent on provoking a quarrel with his English allies, he certainly could have taken no read ier steps towards it than the course that he has lately pursued In the present excitable and irritated state ot public feeling in the two countries, it is not of course easy to foresee wliat proportions the existing difficulties are likely to assume. Judg ing from present apenrance3, no more serious danger has threatened the peace of Europe since the troubles of 1848 than the slap in the face dealt to th6 French Emperor in the over throw of his friend and political ally—Lord Palmerston. This event can only be consid ered, in fact, as the commencement of another great reactionary movement against European despotism, which is likely to spread its flames over tho continent, and again deluge the streets of its cities with blood. The fire of political discontent has been thus far kept down by repressive measures ; but this state of things cannot always last. Should it suc ceed in overwhelming the obstacles opposed to its progress by the friendly aid of the Eng lish people, Louis Napoleon will have his own indiscretion to thank for the disasters that it will 6ring in its train.—New York Herald. that she cannot thus remain, Ww** 0 ?,’ Krt *P tbe Pi 11 *™ of tho fane, Ttok f’®,* 11 where erst in pride it rose ,or herself in common with her foes."

The cook of a French nobleman, whose chateau is in the south of France, had a monk ey, which was allowed the free range of the kitchen, and which was so intelligent that by pretty severe training, his natural propensity to mischief had been subdued, and he was even taught to perform certain useful services, such as plucking fowls, for instance, at which was uncommonly expert. One fine morning, a pair of partridges was given the monkey to pluck. The creature took them to an open window of tho kitchen, which looked directly upon the park, and went to work with great diligence. He soon finished one, which he laid on the outer ledge of the window, and then went quietly on with the other. A hawk, which had been watching bis proceedings from a neighboring tree, darted down upon the plucked partridge, and in a minute was up the tree again, greedily devouring his prey. The consternation of the monkey at this untoward adventure may be easily imagined. He.knew be would be severely whipped for losing it. He hopped about in great distress for some minutes, when suddeuly a bright thought strick him. Seizing tbe remaining partridge, he went to work with great energy, and strip ped off the feathers. He then laid it on the ledge, just where he placed the other, and closing one of the shutters, concealed himself behind it. The hawk, which by this time had finished his meal, very soon swooped down upon the partridge; but hardly had his claw touched the bird, when the monkey sprung upon him from behind the shutter. The hawk’s head was instantly wrung, and the monkey, with a triumphant chuckle, proceeded to strip off t.he feathers. This done, he esu-ried the two plucked fowls to his master, with a con fident and self-satisfied air, which seemed to say, " Here are two birds, sir ; just what you gave me.” What the cook said on finding Ifltst it/* k° 0IC '—An Irishman on being L V. 1 ] 1 '" “''"'ly invented stove would save ae niel, replied, "Arrah, then, I’ll { one ot the partridges converted into a hawk is °i *ud save it all, me jewel.” j nor j than we are able to tell. The Island, of Cuba. “ Cuba is the largest and most important of the West India Islands, and commands the entrance to the Gulf of Mexico, whence it has been called the key of the West Indies. It is about seven hundred miles in length and sev enty in breadth, and contains, with its depen dencies, 32,807 square miles, being nearly equal in extent to Great Brifain. The climate is very delightful and very healthy, for which reason it is favorite resort ot invalids. Even on the top of the Grande Antilla, the chief range of mountains running through the island from end to end, there has scarcely ever been ice, and then only a few lines thick. The seasons are not distinguished as summer and winter, but the wet and the dry, through the periods at which they begin and end are not very well defined.. The rainy seasons commonly begin in May, but some times in April, and occasionally not till June The soil is very fertile, but, as in many other tropical countries, the people are too sluggish to cultivate it to any great extent. The chief agricultural productions are sugar, coffee, tobacco, manioc and maize. The work on the plantations is done almost exclusively by negroes, whose condition is far worse than that of the slaves in the United'States. The whipping post is in constant use. As an in stance of the great fertility of the soil. Trum bull states that, in the district of Sagna la Grande, a caballeria of laud, which is nearly equal to thirty three acres, has been known to produce,two hundred and eighty thousand pounds of the fair colored Muscovado sugar of that country, being nearly equal to four mod erate sized hogsheads per acre. The population is made up of Creoles and negroes, the latter forming about one-third. The Creoles, like their Spanish ancestors, are intelligent, but indolent; the negroes are not allowed to be either. There arc in the island several excellent copper, iron, and coal mines, which would be very productive if well worked. Small quan tities of gold and silver have also been found. Since the introduction of bees, between sixty and seventy years ago, honey and wax have been important articles of trade. Manufac tures have been much neglected. The island is divided into several jurisdic tions, civil, judicial, ecclesiastical, and milita ry. The civil jurisdiction consists of two pro vinces, with two distinct Governors, entirely independent of each other; the supreme mili tary chief of the whole island, with the title of Captain General, being the civil Governor of the one province only, called San Cristoval de la Havana; while the other, Santiago de Cuba, has a separate Governor, whb, in affairs purely political or civil, is not in any way subject to the Captain General. Besides, the island is divided into three military divisions, whose chiefs take their orders from the Cap tain General. At Matanzas. Trinidad de Cuba, Puerto Principe, and Cienfuegos, there are al so officers with the title of Governor, named by the Captain General, whose office is of a judicial nature, extending to disputed points of every sort—civil, criminal^ and military.— Subordinate to these are eight lieutenancies. The Captain General has appellate jurisdic tion in military matters. In dries and towns there are also munidpal bodies called aijun- tamienlos, or perpetual unions, and, in the rural districts, juceespedaneos, or pretty judges who are named by the local Governors. These exercise bothjudicial and ministerial functions. The Captain General presides at the meet ings of the Havana Union, consisting of twelve members. The chief secular tribunal of Havana is that of the Captain General, who has in military affairs an auditor of war, and in rivil disputes a general assessor, who like wise exercise the duties of tho dvil magistracy. The tribunal of the ordinary alcaldes has also cognizance, in the first instance, of civil and military disputes. The Union has also a cer tain judicial jurisdiction. There is, besides, a commercial tribunal, whose jurisdiction ex tends only to mercantile affairs. The judges are all paid by fees instead of salaries. The judges’ fees depend on their rank, and the number and length of their sit tings ; they are therefore, remarkably se dentary in their habits. Judicial proceedings, as on tbe continent of Europe, are conducted wholly in writing, vita voce pleading and trial by jury being alike unknown. The lawyers are paid according to the number of pages they write; long pleas are, therefore, by no means uncommon. The suitor in a Cuban court cannot move a step without paying a fee to a judge, lawyer, clerk, interpreter, or crier. Some attention has been paid to education by the Government, but very little has been accomplished. In 1840, there were 99,599 free children in the island, between the ages of five and ten, of whom only one tenth were sent to school. There is no such thing as liberty of the press proportion of goods imported and exported un der the flags of Spain, England, and the United States, has been stated as follows: Spain, forty-three and one half per cent; England, seven and one half percent; the United States twenty six per cent. Within the last ten years, the interior of the country has been much improved, and the means of communication increased by railroads, &c. The first railroad ever laid in the island ruuning from Havana to the most important of the sugar districts, was constructed by Alfred Cruger of the United States. Cuba. Everything is subjected to the strict est censorship. In 1837 eight newspapers were published in Cuba, of which four were daily. Daring the constitutional crisis in Spain, when the censorship was, for a time, suspended, a number of papers with the most singular names, which were some index to the wishes and opinions of the people, were started at Havana; such as, ,The Constitutional Tailor, The Roars of an African Lion, Brilliant Strokes of Tyranny, The Mosquito, The Fly, The Wasp, Sec. Authorities differ as to the population of Cuba. According to tbe census of JS27, which was, we believe, the last taken, the popula tion was 730,5G2. Of these, the whites num bered 311,051; the free negroes, 57,514; and the free people of color, not negroes, 48,980. The number of slaves was 286,942; of whom 183,290 were males, and 103,652 females. Since 1827, the population has, of course greatly increased, as is shown by the amount of imports since then, and tho constantly in creasing] production of the island. It now- amounts probably, to about 1,500,000. The trade of Cuba is excellent. Its situa tion, the fertility of its soil, and the short distance—not more than thirty miles—from any point iu the interior to the sea ithore, all tend to give it great commercial prosperity; md, if many injurious restraints now impos ed upon its trade were removed, it would soon become one of the richest spots on the earth. The islaud is very heavily taxed by the mother country. The greater portion of the evenue is derived from duty on imports. A great difference is made between goods from Spain aud those from other countries. The duty on flour, especially on that from the United States, is very heavy. If from Spain and in Spanish vessels, the duty is two dol lars per barrel; but if the same be iu foreign essels, tho duty is six c ollars per barrel. If the flour be foreign, but under the Spanish flag, tbe duty is eight dollars and a. half per barrel; but if it be foreign, and under a for eign flag, the duty is r.ine dollars and a half per barrel. The United States flour; is, however, so far uperior to the Spanish, that independently of the difference in price caused by tbe dis criminating duties laid, it always commands much higher price, selling, very often, for three dollars more per barrel. The only effect of this high tariff on American flour has been to increase smuggling; for it is more used throughout the island than it was years ago, and yet less passes through the custom houses. The trade of the United States with Cuba has always been very large. The rslarira Sut Lovengood’s Daddy Acting: DORSE. "Hold that ere boss down to the yeartb." “He’s spreading his tail-fly now.” ** Keep him whar he is.” These and like expressions were addressed to a queer-looking, long-legged, short-bodied, white-haired, hog-eyed, funny sort of a genius, fresh from some second-hand clothing store, and mounted on ‘Tar-pole,’ a nick-tailed, long, poor horse, and enveloped all over in a per fect net-work of bridle reins, scuppers, martin gales, straps, circingles and red-ferreting, who had reined up in front of Pat. Nack’s grocery, among a crown of wild'mountaineers full of fight and bad whiskey. “I say, you darned ash eats, jist keep your shirts on, will you 1 You never seed a real horse rill I rid up. Tarpole is next to the best horse that ever shelled nubbins, and he’s dead as a still worm; poor old Tickey Tail.” “ What killed him, Sut ?" stud an anxious inquirer. “Why, nothing, you tarnation fool; he jist died standing up at that. Warn’t that good pluck? Froze stiff; no, not adzactly, but starved fust and then frozed afterwards; so stiff, that when dad and me pushed him over, he jist stuck out so, (spreading his arms and legs,) like a carpenter’s bench, and we waited seventeen days for him to thraw, afore we could skin him. Well, thar was—dad au’ me, (counting his fingers,) dad an’ me, Sal an’Jake, —fool Jake wo used to call him for short—an Phineas, an’ Simeon, an’ Jonas, an’ Chariot ean, an’ Cullina. an’ Cashus Henry Clay, an’ Noah Dan, an’ Catharine second, an’ Cleopat y, Antony an’ Jane Lind, an’ Tom Bullion the baby and the prospect, an’ marm herself, all left without any horse to crop with. That was a nice mess for a spectable family to be slushed about in, warn’t it ? I declare if didn’t feel like stealin’ a horse, sometimes.— Well, we waited and rested, and waited until well onto strawberry time, hoping some stray horse mout come along; but dog my cats ef sich luck as that ever comes whar dad is, he’s so drotted mean, an’ lazy, an’ savage, an’ ug ly, an’ tyrin.* Well, one nite, dad he lay awake all nite a snorin’ an’ a whisperin’ at marm, an’ next mornin’ says he: Sut, I’ll tell you what we’ll do; I’ll be hoss myself, an’ pull the plow while you drive me and we’ll break up corn ground and then tho old quilt (that’s marm) and the brats kin plant or let alone, jist as they please.’ ‘So out he goes to the papaw, an’ peeled a right smart chance of bark, an’ inarm an’ me made gears for dad, and they become him mightly; then he would have a bridle—so I gits an old umbrella what I found—it’s a little piece iron, sorter like onto a pitchfork, ye enow—an’ we bent an’ twisted it sorter into a bridle bit, snail shape, (dad wanted it curb, as he hadn’t worked for some time, and must sorter feel his oats and go to cavortin.) Well when we got the briddle all fixed on dad, he chomped bis bit jist like a raal horse, (he al ways was a most complicated old fool, enybow, an’ marm always said so when he warn’t about,) then I put on the gears, an’ out dad au’ I goes into the field, I a leadin’ dad by the bridle, and totin’ the gopher plow on my back. “ When we come to the fence I let down a gap; that made dad mad; he wanted to jump the fence on all fours, hoss way. I hitched him into the gopher, and way he went, dad leanin’ for’ard to his pullin’ right peart, and we made sharp plowin’, dad goin right over the bushes an’ sprouts same as a raal horse, the only difference is, he went on two legs.— Presently we come to a sassafras patch, and dad, to act up his character as a hoss, bulged squar inter it, an’ tore down a hornet’s nest as big as a hoss’ head; and all the tribe kivered him rite strate. He rared once or twice, an’ fotched a squeal wus nor ary horse in the dis trict, an’ sot into runnin’ away jist as natural as ever you seed. " I let go the plow and hollered woa, dad woa, but ye mout as well said woa to a loco motive. JewhilikinB, how he run! When he come to a bush he’d clear it, gopher and all; pr’aps he thot there must be another settle ment of bald hornets in it; and that it was safer to go over than thro, an’ quicker done. Every now and then he’d paw one side of his head with fust one fore leg and then tother; then he’d gin himself an open-handed slap, that sounded like a wagon whip, and runnin’ all the rime and carryin’that gopher jist about as fast and high from the yearth as ever a gopher was carried. I swar when he cum to riie fence he busted rite thru it, taren nigh in ter seven panels, scatterin’ and breakin’ the rails mightily; and here he left the gopher, gears, swingletrees and klevis, all mixed up, not worth a durn; most of his shirt stuck to the broken end of a splintered rail, and nigh onto a pint o’ hornets staid with the shirt, a stinging it all over—the balance on ’em, about a gallon an’ a half, kept on with dad. Ho seemed to run jist adzactly as fast as a hornet could fly, for, it was the tightest race I ever did see; down thru the grass they all went, the hornets sorter makin’ it look like smoke all around dad’s head, and he with nothin’ on but the bridle, and nigh onto a yard o’ plow line sailing behind him. I seed lie was aimin’ for the swimmin’ hole in the creek, whar the bluff is over twenty feet perpendicular to the water, and it’s nigh onto ten feet deep. To keep up his character as a hoss, when he got to the bluff he jist leaped off, or rather he jist kept cn runnin’. Now rite thar, boys, he overdid the thing, if that was what he was arter, for thar’s nary hoss darned fool enough to leap over sich a place; a mule mout have done it, but dad warn’t acting mule.

It is not only n Cathartic, but a Liver remedy, acting first on the Liver to eject its morbid matter, then on the stomach aud bowels to carry off that matter, thus accoinplish- ingtwo purposes effectually, without any of the pain ful feelings experienced in the operations of mos- Cathartics. It strengthens the system at the same time that it purges it; and when taken daily in mode rate doses, will strengthen and build it up witli nil- usual rapidity- The LIVER is ono of * the principal regulators of the human body, and 1 when it performs its tunctions well, the pow- iN ersofthesystem are ful ly developed.

Ha! ha!’ screamed John, upon reading this brief note. ‘A capital joke, that. Can’tcome it, mum—can’t, no how! Scarecrow—left for collection—I un’stand—won’t do—no go!’ and John very soon forgot it. But ‘pay day’ came round again—aud John took his monthly stipend once more, $100, from the cashier of the department as usual. As he passed down the avenue, the unpaid board bill suddenly entered his head. •* Who the deuce now has been fool enough to help the old woman in this business, I wonder?’ said John to himself. ‘Egad ! I’ll go and see. It’s all a hum, I know ; but I’d like to know if she really fooled anybody with that bit of pa per,’ and entering the bank, he asked for the note ‘left there for collection against him,’ ‘It was discounted!’ said the Teller. ‘Discounted! Why, who iu this world will discount my note ?’ asked John, amazed. •Anybody, with such a backer as you have got on this.’ ‘Backer! me—backer, who ?’ ‘Here is the note, you can see,’ said the Tel ler, handing him the document, on which John instantly recognized the bold signature of the then President of the United States. ‘Sold—by Moses !’ exclaimed John, drawing forth the money with a hysteric gasp—for he saw through the management at a glance. The note was of course paid, aud justice was awarded to the spendthrift at once. On the next morning, he found upon his desk a note, which contained the following enter taining bit of personal intelligence : To John himkins. Esq.—Sir : A change having been made in your office, I am directed by the President to inform you that your ser vices will no longer be needed by this Depart ment. Yours, , Secretary.
