The Cuba Expedition.- The Philadelphia North American gives the following particulars of this affair. Itiselso stated that the sum of $250,000 has been deposited in Mobile, to promote the objects of this nefarious movement. A landing is contemplated on the south side of the Island. It mentions also that Baltimore is one of the places where men have been enlisted. Qrlt appears from an article in the Baltirrore Sun, that the American prisoners at Jalapa, Mexico, for not relieving whom we understand lUr. Clifford has been recalled, are said to be deserters from the army, and were ko reported by Gen. Worth. They had been imprisoned for outrages committed against the .Mexican laws.
E7 Americans may revolutionize Cuba, but England, having a greater interest than Spain in that Island, will prove a powerful enemy to the revolutionists. N. Y. Fathfinder. It is not Americans but Cubans who will revolutionize Cuba; and the revolution will not be for annexation to the United States, but for absolute independence. How vi! England prove a powerful enemy to the revolutionists! Will the United States etand idle and permit an English intervention between the Cubans and Spain, thereby securing the Island to Britain? We reckon we guess not! President Madison

Lou. Courier. The Democrats have been called Loco-
foe oes by their opponents for years, and from the first the blackguard term pleased them. They have rolled it liKe a sweet morsel under their tonsues ever since it was first applied to the party in New York, until now the Whig press knows no other name; and the erudite editor of the Louisville Courier wishes to "know, athoritalively ," what name the Democrats wish to be known by in future. Individuals of the great Democratic party have called themselves in derision Locofoco?s. We have heard Whig speakers and Whig candidates for office call themselves Mexican Whigs, and their party the Coon party; but we have never heard of a Whig paper called the "Coon," or the "Mexican Whig." We have heard or a Democrat in Hoosierdom who calls li is paper the "Locomotive." This, according to

upon was "Ossian, or the Bards." It is stilt recollected in Paris, as perhaps tlie grandest spectacle that had ever been exhibited there. The

He will have a short interview with the Secretary of State, upon his arrival, and will proceed directly to Boston to lake the packet for Liverpool, and thence to Paris. In consequence of the unsettled condition of France, the Administration desires his early attendance at the Court of St. Cloud, as he lias received instructions that have not been heretofore communicated to Mr. Rush.

bat this rumor is stereotyped, and as he is ! tiiese announcements have been made
without first obtaining permission from the Canadian authorities. Those intending to send out vessels, we apprehend, will be disappointed. A few days ago a gentleman of this city applied to the GovernorGeneral of Canada for permission to pass a brig through the Canadian waters, which has been refused. The Secretary of the Province, under date of July 25th, in answer to the application, says: 'Questions respecting the policy and legality of navigation have on several occasions enaed the serious attention of Her Eritanic Ma-
The next House will be composed of 231 vo
ting members the delegates from Minesota and Oregon Territories (Messrs. Sibley and Thruston) not being entitled to that privilege; of which 1 1 G is a majority. Thus it will be seen that the free-soilers will certainly hold the balance of power. Should these members in voting choose candidates from either of the great parties, according to their political affinities, four (Messrs. Wilmoi, King, Durkee, and Julian) would probably support the Democratic nominees, giving that party 118 votes, and the other six blend with the Whigs, viz: Messrs. Giddings, Root, Tuck, Allen, Palfrey, and Sprague making 113 votes. But it is likely each of the three parties will make their seperate nominations, and, by giving this triangular character to the contest, bailie all predictions in relation to the organization of the next HouseWashington Union.
Statistics of Honestt. Of two thousand one hundred an I fifty-seven grocers and provision dealers visited in Liverpool during the last year, four hundred and two were convicted for ut-ing illegal weights or scales; of six hundred and seventy-three butchers, seventy-eight were convicted; of four hundred and thirty-three bakers, thirty-five were convicted; of one hundred and seventeen flour dealers, seventeen were convicted ; of ninety-five fish-mongersand fish-dealers, thirty-two were convicted; and of thirty-nine brewers, ten were convicted. Cheap Literature. Boys are to be found in all parts of Nassau street, selling cfF collections of works, single volumes of setts, and perfect books without covers, or well worn and rajred, at prices "to suit the times." One cries, "any work on the stand for four cents;" another, "any work for two cents;" and yet another, "any work for one cent." Out of the collection of the latter we found a grammer of the Chaldee language and some other works of value. This is cheap literature, certainly. Trade Inverted. We learn upon reliable authority, says the Toledo Blade, of the 2lst inst, that 400 bbls flour were purchased yesterday, at Cleveland, by an operator from Cincinnati, to be shipped to the latter place, via Toledo. At the same time, we received here directly from Cincinnati, 534 bbls flour, per Canal Boat Ann Gwinn, the Captain of which told us that 900 bbls more of the same lot would be sent forward as soon as it could be shipped. Surely business has its freaks as well as individuals.
OrThe New York Herald has a revised story of a new expedition from New Orleans, to take the Mexican Rio Grande country, of which "nobody knows nothing" but the Herald man. On the authority of a letter from New Orleans it is stated that 1,500 men have been enlisted there for a 'secret purpose;" that the work is still to go on there and elsewhere; and that considerable arms are accumulated. Each man is made acquainted with ppcrpt ni.me
by which he knows his fellows, and thevijePl"S Government 10 ?uch an extetlt as are to divulge nothing. How, then, doc I l I'rec,ude hiS Excellency, in the exercise the correspondent know so much about it! i oM"!1 di5Cl el,onar-v F"'er3 as Governor of . I tins Colony, horn granting the permission
U- xne Cincinnati nines ot the rjlst instant, says that the Eastern mail fails almost daily, wholly or in part. The new Postmaster-General must look to it, or he will cause a feeling toward him which will settle down into chronic "Collamcr morbus."
Hold Him! The United States Register of the Land Office, at Chilicothe, who is also editor of the Gazette at that place, has become so puffed up with the idea of being an office-holder under Old Zack, that the gas escapes from him in great superabundance. Witness the following: "The project of remodeling the Constitution, after what they had gained, afforded a convenient escape-pipe to the super-patriotic afflatus of Locofocolition, coming down from the stilts of "ulterior measures" and French enthusimusiasrn to the walks of every day life." That fellow feels his keeping.
Handing Round the Hat. A removed Inspector of the Customs at Norfolk, sends the Union the following note, addressed to Mr. Meredith with his "hat." The several Cabinet officers might open hat stores if all the removed officers
would follow Mr. Moore's example: Norfolk, July, 23, 1819. To the Secretary of the Trt a unj: Sir: Having discharged the duties of Inspector of the Customs for 13 years with fidelity and to the satisfaction of all, you have thought proper in your wisdom to discharge me from thai office. Therefore, as you thought proper to take my head off, my hat is no longer of any service to me. I send ii to you as a present; if it should not fit you, it can be turned over to the man who has "no friends to reward, no enemies to punish." With sentiments of the most piofound , I remain HORATIO MOORE, Ex-Inspectors of Customs. P. S. You will receive the hat by the steamer Osceola.
A Temperance Incident. The Boston Chronotype mentions, among other incidents of Father Matthew's visit, that a care-worn woman, yet young, with two children by her side, plainly but neatly dressed, came into the circle, kneeled, and by the movement of her lips engaged in prayer. She then rose and beckoned a forlornlooking man, wrecked by intemperence he re

The New Territories. Despatches have been received by our government, from California and New Mexico, stating that both these territories will be applicants to the next Congress for admission into the Union. The primary measures are now being taken to accomplish the object. New Mexico, with its population of 75,000, is already competent to admission, and the population of California is daily increasing. Its permanent population by the next session of Congress, will, no doubt, be sufficient to demand the doors
to be opened to its admission among its sister States.
