The subject of Cuban ailUiri must iieces-arilj ex cite the public mind, and be prominent among the topies of tho day, because issues and principle are involved of vast importance to us as a uatiuu; and on the proper management of our foreign re lations depends not only our character abroad but all onr vital interests at homo. It ii amaxing to ee in what a careless and reck less manner some of the prvsse of the country treat this subject. We know not what to attrib ute, except it bo to a habit of partltaa abuw and scandal, the wanton and malicious attacks on Mr. Fillmore and hit Cabinet, in relation to these af fairsfor there is no political object to attain . by libels on the retiring administration; no office to get by it ; no applause from the vast body of the American people for certainly "the course of the government is approved by the thoughtful and in telligent of them. So it musL.be that an invete rate habit of nibbling at th'iT' Devil's bait, impels them to "bite the naked Look." Tho President U accused of a want of energy of being of a very submissive cpiiit.

Because he did not follow up the quasi declara tion of war by Mr. Law, the steamboat owner, ami tho hostile threats' of the Middy, and erseveriii insolence of Purser Smith, by an aimaineiit to attack Cuba, or a Proclamation demonstrative of t X" Cull. ,t t,:-,' -.t;in i-i n bd f u f ta Ctti-'S ' interior. ,''-tiU ..I a ti.e lew A r.; f..r the Tiii; tt.VAT'.::. j A United F'atrs f-Vrotor it not yet elected. ; Tho Standard of Wediiesdjy prelaej the subject of unity of sentiment Uxn his party, but, so far, toithmu ilfrtt.

As respects the punishment of lUvenport, we think the government has done riht, in retaining him in Hie service for his was a youthful indis cretion, aim he was uououess stimulated ny wick ed counsellors in whom he coulided.

Porter's case bel'i re his eyes lo convert a merchant vessel into a man-of-war, anil himself into a minister plenipotentiary, with full powers over our relations w ith anolhorand li iend ly nation. If a war with Spain depi nded on thU young middy, uc should have one in double quirk time.

We cordially approve this offi cial rebuke from head quarters, aud hope for a lew more of (he tamo sort. They are much needed. At tho hazard of making this article ton long we must give our renders another extract, to show the various arts and deceptions in use among the fillibusters. One of the newspapers publishes a letter from "An American gentleman of the highest respecta bility, residing on the Island of Cuba," to "a pen t Ionian of the most respectable character in the city of New York," which "expresses the true fee lings of all the American residents of Cuba, ami will find an emphatic response in thu hearts of all genuine Americans in tho United Slates." And what does it say 1 "If our government does noi see the matter settled, and obtain satisfaction, the Americans in the island may as well make up their minds immediately to leave. Nothing short ol the removal of the Captain General, and a alute lo the steamer at Havana, and tho payment of all1 damages, should be expected. The United States I will certainly never consent to tho abolition of the j liberty of the press bv the Government of Ilava I na." 'Whew! ' ! if the gentleman who writes this stuff be of the ttilusl respectability, Heaven save the Unrtst, ftir it must be past earthly help. With due deference . to the licalkinan and his resK-'-ltMltlit, wecan hard- , ly expi'ct that our Government will dictate to the Spanish Government the removal or appointment of its own ofheers. or regard as an olleiice lis vin dication of its ow n nationality in the enforcement of its own police laws, or claim damages for such enforcement. Damages for whom and for what 1 Is an American Steamboat Company entitled to dumoL'fs, for attempiing to set the laws of a friend ly and pcaciTiilly-ilispnso(f nation at uchanco l And the. United Stales will never consent to the abolition of the liberty of the press! Never consent to it where 1 The Spanish Government have never conceived the absurdity of an attempt to suppress it in tho United 8 atcs; aud wo believe that our Government are not quite absnrd enough to think of regulating it in Havana. If wo mis take not, the press, on Spanish ground, is under Spanish jurisdiction, and therefore must not ex pect to be governed by American laws. And if the Amcricni in Cuba find the Island becoming too hot for them, they must thank tho pirates from the United Statet whom tome of them, at, least, are disposed to aid, for imposing uimn the'Snan- 1 lh Oovernmect the necessity of self-protection iYln deporting themsclvct'propcrly,and,in confor ming to ino laws or (lie dunncil which they . havo eboun, they will pot be molested by the Spanish Government. 4-- '. ! -w -i And the paper which published this letter, aayi that itipbakt the tenllmenU of all ft wh4 Amer icans, and that "a deep-seated feeling for the ac quisition of Cuba" if "prevalent throughoat the Mr. Sav-kks relative to the purchase of the Is land was left out. We a're authorised to state ilmt the passage referred to had no connexion with Cu ba, and that, if any other parts of the col respon dent's were omitted, this was occasioned by con siderations of expediency' COUNTERFEITERS. A Counterfeiting Establishment, in the city of New York, was broken up on Mouilay, from which the police recovered a complete set of counterfeit ing implements, consisting of a large prevs, a gal vanic battery, nod set of dies, finely executed for making gold dollars, u die in an unfinished state for making sovereigns, a large quantity of sheet brass, from which thousands of counterfeit gold dollars hud been made, together with chisels, &c. of every description suitable for the purpose. They also found about seventy-live counterfeit gold dollars, and a large number in uu unfinished state. The gold dollars are said to be beautifully execu ted, aud, excepting their weight, well calculate. 1 to deceive. It is believed that many of them are in circulation. Only one of the counterfeiters was arrested ; his name is , ),'. Hum, a Frenchman. S1IAMEFLL COLLISION. A collision recently took place on the Cincin nati, Cleaveland.aud Columbus Railroad, by which two persons were mortally injured, and ten or twelve others more or less hin t.

The coroner's inquest has rendered a verdict thai " tho explosion was caused by Ihe improper in.in ngemeut of Ihe second engineer, Joseph Daniels, of Ilarmar." EMIGRATION ACROSS THE PLAINS.

THE KAFFIR WAR. The Cape Town Mail, of October 9th, says : " The Kafiir war appears to be gradually draw ing to a close.

This important work was accomplished between the 11th and 18th of September, by a force of 3,000 troops. having with them four jruns, and led by his excel lency in person." COLORS AND FASHION. Violet is a hew now become very fashionable. It is the color of Napoleon, and therefore popular in France: while in England it will be worn in to ken of mourning for the puke of Wellington. I'onncts made of kid leather, which is termed t! itinera, are becoming somewhat known. The lionts ou'y are made ot leather; tlie crowns are of silk or velvet. Jet ornaments of everv des cription are in high favor. A new head-dress called the eoilfuro Isabella, has appeared.
