THE CUBA EXPEDITIOH.—It appears quite evident that another Cuba expedition is brewing. Who the leading characters are In this second attempt, is not stated. The New York Express says:—Private letters from New Orleans, from an authority likely to be well informed, intimate that the rumors in some of the Southern papers relative toanothor Expedition for the Invasion of Cuba, are by no means without foundation. The "Lone Star Association," the avowed mission of which is, in the cant phrase of the day to "extend the area of freedom," are said to be industriously at work, and arranging their plans, so as to avoid the disasters encountered by previous Expeditions tp Cuba, and with a view of making the sucoess of the next invasion a matter beyond doubt. Affiliated societies are known to exist in other States, and it is believed that the •mount of funds in their hands, raised by voluntary contributions is considerable.— ne nave at "present no iuriner particulars but the letters before us referred to above, •ay: '"before many months pass away, you must not be at all surprised to hear that the Star Spangled banner wKves victoriously over the wallB of the Moro!"

Major Donelson transfers his entire interest in the Washington Union to his partner 5en. Armstrong, and retires from the editorial chair.to his private pursuits in Tennessee. He withdraws from the Union on account of obstacles to the harmony of the Democratic party growing in a degree out of alleged differences of opinion respecting the political views which havo been maintained by the Union under his editorship. He deems it his duty to do what he can to remove them and accordingly withdraws.

A report has been circulated that Daniel Tucker was run ovev by a train of cars in Arkansas, and killed. Some of the papers liisbelieve the report because Daniel was so proverbial for getting "out of the way,'* that he never would be run over, We never placed any reliance in the report, for we supposed it originated in his being later to tupper than usual, and it was conjectured omething had happened him.

Gen. Robinson has succeeded in adding lo the available means of the Ohio and Pennsylvania Railroad the sum of eight hundred and fifty thousand dollars, sufficient to complete the road to its western tenfn BUS at Crestline. T^e unfinished portion of the line will bo pushed with all the vigor possible, and it is expected will be finished by the 1st of January next.

MACAVWV'S EXGLAHD.—It is rumored in one of the papers that Mr. M.icaulay is preparing anew edition of the two volumes of his History of England already issued, and that his publisher has called in all the copies of the first edition to which be can get aceess. This looks as if some important alter ations were to be made in tho work.

ist. The Courier and Enguinr this refers to it. "The meeting of the friends of Mr. Fillmore was large and spirited, and was an occasion of interest and satisfaction to all the conservative portion of the Whig party.— The speeches were able, and were pervaded throughout with genuine all-subduing patronism. The meeting was evidently under the influence of a high and strong national sentiment, that set at nought every sectional consideration. Its views were enlarged, and its disposition was liberal and conciliatory. No more decisive tokens of this could have been manifested than the very frequent mention made by the speakers of the name of Daniel Webster, and the general bursts of applause with which that name was sure to be hailed. It was a meeting calculated in every way both to harmonize and inspirit, and as such it commends itself to the favorable consideration of every Whig in the country. Mr. Fillmore is not our candidate for the Presidency, but we join most heartily in the commendation bestowed upon his administration last evening."

PRESIDENTIAL,

A Washington correspondent of the Louisville Journal says As the time of nominating Presidential candidates approaches, the public mind is more tranquil. The fHends of Mr.Fillmore «?e far leas sanguine than they have been, and the pominatipn of Gen. Scott is now generally conceded. That the Whig party will unite after the nominations are made there is now no reason to doubt. The Loco(QCQ enemies of Cass are very busy contriving how to defeat him. The "Little Giant" is particularly active, though exceedingly sly and awning'. Gen. Pillow has bpen here but found Washington too hot to hold him. He is not so puffed up as he was, though exceedingly inflated yet. lie has a very bad case for a Presidential Pillow,-y The Democracy not willing to risk it.

Buchanan has pretty much gone to seed. The old fogy principle is rank in him—it "smells" too near the political heaven for Young America. Gen. Houston is lying low," expecting to be exalted thereby.

If Cass falla by the two.third rule, Houston will be taken up in all probability. The fogies will go for him, and so will Young America.

In that event.it will take all the available

ment. We are not afraid, however, to pit "Old Churubusco" against San Jacinto and the "rest of mankind."

A telegraphic despatch from Boston states

The New Orleans Delta of iho 6th ftistnnt notes the following "Extraordinary Operation:"

Commercial circles were highly excited by an occurrence which took place on Tuesday last, in which the fair dealing of one of our largest dealers in Western produce has been seriously imupgned. We forbear giving the naraes»of the parties, presuming that the nflairwiTMn due lime b* made public in authenticTortn. As far as we can gather them from responsible sources, the facts are as followsr\The large Western merchant referrea to, some months ago made a written contract with a firm of the city to furnish them with 6000 barrels of pork atSl4,50 per barrel. Since the contract was made, pork has gone up to $ 17, and the contractor found himself in a bad scrape.— On the day that the contract was to be performed he appeared, however, before a member of the firm of the other party and made a tender pf the pork, demanding the price immediately, to wii: the pretty sum of 587,000 in cash. It was then past the bank hour, and the firm requested the contractor to wait until they could step out and draw the money. He agreed, and the members of the firm set actively to work to raise the funds. It was not long before they had raised more than enough, and had tendered the contractor a certificate of deposit of $87,000 in one of our banks. This would not satisfy the contractor, ho demanded the money—the specie! gain the members of the firm had to rush around to the hank to hunt up tho officers. After some1 trouble and tax of time they succeeded In getting the specie out of ihe bank, and putting the boxes on a dray, trotted around to the contractor.

LEGISLATIVE POETRY. In the New Jersey Legislature t%e following message was presented to the House by Mr. Gray, the Secretary, in in which the JudiciaryCommittee of the grave body, by Mr.^Vhitehead their chairman, it will be seen, has perpe trated a poetical report

SENATE CHAMBER, March 4, 1850.

Mr. Speaker—I am directed to inform the House of Assembly that the Senate has received a petition from the ladies of the county of Cape "May, in which— "As humble petitioners they earnestly pray 'f*

Your honorable body without delay To pasa anew law wherein power is shown, For wives to hold landed estates of their own."

And that the address of said petitioners indicates that the same was intended for the to*® ff 5$? Senate.

The Judiciary Committee, thereof.to whom said petition was referred, has reported— "This petition appears to have got quite astray, And the committee advises that it be sent away To the speaker of the House to whom it is directed To be there to the forms of legislation subjected."

And said report having been read, considered and agreed to by the Senate, the Secretory was directed to present said petition to the Hon. Speaker of Assembly, whose distinguished courtesy and gallantry to the sex will doubtless secure for it the most profound consideration.

The subject was referred to a'spenal committoe of the House the chairman presented the following report: The committee appointed to weigh and consider, The message concerning the wife and the widder, Received from the Senate by prim Mr. Gray, Permission allowed them, respectfully say. After solemn reflection they all recommend. That the House of Assembly their pity extend To Senators, past all their feeling for beauty, And making excuses to shrink from their duty But the wants of the ladies, however aggrieved, Made known to the House, shall be relieved. 'Tis true the Senate is feeble and old, A But the b'hoys of the House are as gallant as bold, And will tender their aid at the earliest day. To the ladies who live oh the shores of Cape May.

The Cleveland <Plaindealer> of the 3d, contains the particulars of a riot, which took place on board the steamer Globe, while she lay in the ice, after she had left Silver Creek harbor. There were about eight hundred Germans, two hundred Irishmen, and one hundred Americans on board of her, and as they lay in Silver Creek for some time, they run somewhat short of provisions. The emigrants, or deck passengers, of course provisioned themselves. On the 28th ult., she made her way out to the Columbia, which was frozen in the ice a couple of miles out, and took the crew and passengers of that craft on board, but could pursue her way no further. About noon of that day, three of the passengers entered the cabin where the Captain was sitting, and commenced gesticulating violently in some foreign tongue. The Captain immediately communicated to the cabin passengers his belief that the riot had come to a head, and that no time was to be lost. They had hardly armed themselves when a large crowd marched up the companion-way and commenced breaking the cabin windows. All those of the cabin passengers who could find any available weapon rushed out on deck and drove the rioters, who were fortunately unarmed, below deck, after stabbing several of them, knocking some down, or cutting them with the empty cider bottles with which some of the passengers were armed. None of the Americans were materially injured, and only one of the besieging party, who was stabbed in the side, and who, it was thought, would recover. The riot threatened to break out again, but a close watch was kept which prevented any more demonstrations.

It all arose because the foreigners thought the cabin passengers were too well fed while they were fasting. ~~~~~~~

The English Woman of Fashion. Lord Jeffrey, in writing to a female friend in America, describes, very hapily, a "first-class specimen of an Engisit Woman of fashion:" "Great quietness, simplicity, and delicacy of manners, with a certain dignity and self-pos-session that puts vulgarity out of countenance, and keeps presumption in awe a singularly sweet, soft, and rather low voice, with remarkable elegance and ease of diction a perfect taste in wit, and manners, and conversation, but no loquacity, and rather languid spirits a sort of indolent disdain of display and accomplishments an air of great good nature and kindness, with but too often some heartlessness, duplicity and ambition. These are some of the traits, and such, think, as would most strike an American. You would think her rather cold and spiritless but she would predominate over you in the long run and indeed is a very bewitching and dangerous creature, moro seductive and graceful than any other in the world but not better nor happier and I am speaking even of the very best and most perfect." 1

RAILROAD TO THE JERSEY COAST.—A writer in the Camden Democrat warmly advocates the construction of a railroad from Camden to the Atlantic Ocean at Absecom Inlet. The inlet is said to be never obstructed by ice, with two fathoms of water on the bar, and a safe harbor capable of accommodating 200 sail of vessels^ The length of the road would be less* than fifty miles.

TEMPERANCE JOKE.

Joe llarris was a whole-souled, merry fellow, and very fond of a glass.— After living in New Orleans for many years, he came to the conclusion of visiting old uncle away up in Massachusetts whom he had not seen for many years. Now there is a diffdence between New Orleans and Massachusetts in regard to the use of ardent spirits, and when Joe arrived there, he found all the people run mad abom temperance he felt bad thinking with ihQ

0|d songt

that "keeping the spirits up by pouring the spirits down, was one of ih« best ways to make titne pass, and began to feel indeed thu he was in a pickle— But on the morning after his arrival, the old man and sons being gone out at work, his aunt came to bim and said: "Joe, you havs been living in the South, and, no doubt are in the habit of taking a little something to drink about eleven o'clock. Now 1 keep some for

Medical purposes," but let no one know it, as my husband wants to set a good example."

Joe promised, and thinking that he would get no more that day, took as he expressed a ''busier." After he had walked oat to the stable, who should meet him but his \»ncle.

"Well, Jbe," says he, "I expect that you are accustomed to drink something in New OrleanS, but you find us all temperate here, and for the sake of my sons, 1 don't let them know that I have any brandy about, but I just keep little out here for my rheumatism^ "Will you take some?

Joe signified his readiness, and took another big horn. Then continuing his walk he came to where the boys were mauling rails. After conversing a while one of his cousins said '•Jpe, I expect you would like to have a drink, snd as the old folks are down on liquor, we keep somejqui here to help us on with the work.

Out came the bottle, and down they sat, and as he t*ys that by the lime he went home to dinner, he was as tight as

A most laughalle incident occurred lutely at Madrid. A party of amateur bullfighters wished to indulge the public with a spectacle for the benefit of a hospital. On the appointed day the arena was crowded with the rank and fashion of the metropolis and the young amateures, clad in gold and silk, appeared to receive the congratulations of the audience. But iu the midst of the graceful interchange of courtesies, the great gates of the stalls for the animals were suddenly' opened and six huge bulls bounded into the ring, and rushed heads down, towards the gallant party. They, dismayed, at the sudden onset, retreated in a body for the railing which separates the spectators from the ring, and the bulls plunged after them. As there were six animals and twenty amateures, the confusion was immense, and tho audience were convulsed with laughter.— Some of the amateurs succeeded in gaining the railing, and springing over but others, less lucky were touched where cherubims are intangible. However, as the bulls horns were covered, no further damage accrued than the rending of sundry silken breeches. int

FEUIT TREES, &C., BY STEAMERS.—Our attention has been drawn to the immense increase in the importation of trees, evergreens, shrubs, and plants from Liverpool, by our line of steamers. The importation previous to last winter had been almost impracticable from the danger of being damaged by a lengthened voyage in sailing vessels. Iron ships are particularly adapted for them, from the fact of the temperature being regulated by thecolnessof the water in which the vessel sails. Our informant has seen some of those landed from the "City of JV]anchestarV' last voyage, and reports them almost as fresh-looking as when taken from the ground. Thisship has no less than 100 tons for our horticulturists and citizens, who are already in in he a a ii a a if groFnd around their country houses at only a moderate expense. They are imported free of duty.—Phil. Bui. ist.
