A Glimpse at Havanna—Society Cus
toms, &c.
Havana, Jan. 16th, 1850.
Entering Havana from the sea, the ap
pearance of the port and fortifications is
quite Malta-like. Facing the Gulf of
Mexico la the north, and its coral-bound
shores washed by the current of the gulf-
stream, the narrow entrance to the har
bor is defended, on its eastern side, by the
strong fortificationcalled the Morro, whilst
the opposite point is crowned by the castle
of la Punta. The Moro slanils upon a
high bluff, fronting both sea-ward, inland
and the city, and with its strong batteries
commands the entrance to the port. A
long lineofsolid fortifications, the Cabana,
also extends lrom the land-side of the
Moro, far up, and parallel to the harbor,
caching a point nearly opposite the cen-
re of the city. The harbor here ex
pands into a bay of considerable size,
iltaped like a Ire-foil, with from four
o six fathoms of water and of sufficient
■apacily to float the navies of the world.
Of course it is perfectly secure in all
weathers. Steamers come to anchor be
yond the sailing vessels, and after the vis
ta of the health and custom-house officers,
md the regulation of pass-ports, passen
gers are permitted to land on the quays
>f the city, being the west, or right-hand
tide of the harbor.
Havana proper is a walled town, but,
teyond the barriers, stretches in a wester-
y direction; the suburbs being far more
:xtensive than the interior city. To an
American, the appearance of the streets
md houses is singular. The former are
rarrow, of width merely sufficient for the
passage of two carriages, whilst the side
walks are scarcely broad enough for pe
destrians in single file. The houses are
Dfa.ll shapes, sizes, and heights—from the
low, one-story, scolloped-eaved bode-ga,
with its dirty front, up to the four-story,
norisco palace of the conde. Universal-
y, the lower windows are heavily barred
with a lattice work of iron, whilst the up-
per stdries lead out upon projecting bal
conies.
As to color, light blue seems the pre
dominant taste, but many Ironts arepaint-
d white, yellow or brown, with crimson
ornicee, sills and architraves. Tiles are
ostly used for roofing. All this, together
mh the deep windows and huge gate-
ays, (instead of doors) you may imagine,
trikes an American strangely.
The larger houses are built in the form
pf a hollow square, with the stairways
''renting on the court; the parlors and bed-
ooms, to procure that great desideratum
:f a tropical climate—ventilation, have
windows running from the ceiling to the
loor (some 18 or 20 feet,) both on the
treel and court, and floored with marble
r stone, arc coolerthan one .vould suppose.
Carpets are not in common use; grates
tnnecessary. They ladies seldom, if ever,
walk the streets. The remain in their
ron cages the greater part of the day,
eatedon sofa or arm chair, gazing indo-
ently at the passers-by. Flirtations are
■omelimes carried on with the lover in
he street, the mistress behind the lattice,
md a watchful mama asleep in her chair;
“r it an accepted suitor, the balcony
roves a convenient place, for sweet re-
itals of anticipated joys.
A Volavia! Yes, they ride in a tna.-
hine which goes by that name, and also
toes on two high wheels, propelled by
n$, two or three horses, with a postillion
•and such a postillion! Figure to your-
f a jet-black shining negro, with a comi-
. f a Pi short jacket of blue, embroidered
vith silver lace, and red worsted, white
antaloons, and boots that outrival the
even-Le.agued ones of Nursery tales,
rejecting up far above the knees, and
laced a iight fit, to shins as spindley as
nose ol a Cuban Negro—the black polish
luite throwing the negro’s face into a dark:
comparison—this figure, armed with a
long whip, and heavily spurred, is seated
astride a diminutive pony, whose heavy
harness alone seems nurthen enough for
his puny Irame. Then comes the Vai-
anta—23 feet in length from stem to Stern,
with wheels six feet in diameter—a gig it
is, in general shape, placed upon two long
poles, the wheels some distance behind
the body, and the ends ot the shafts resting
upon the pony.
You enter, a pair of you, palanquin
fashion, the blue triangular curtain in
front drawn up, and leaning back in
Spanish indolence, away go postilion,
blue-jacket and jack-boots, in sort of sway
ing. focking motion, quite easy in itself,
but particularly hard to describe, especi
ally that of turning a corner. Well, the
Senors, and Senoritas, and Creoles, and
Negresses, ride in these voianta-vehicles,
and having a seat only for two, would he
very convenient for a pair of lovers, (on
ly they are, never allowed to ride togeth
er,) but are decidedly inconvenient lor a
travelling party, or a family.
At the Plaza-De-Armas each evening,
from eight to nine, the band plays in front
of the Captain General’s (Alcoy) palace
and the fair Habaneros, seated in their
‘lengthy’ carriages, veiled, fan in hand,
dressed in white and unbonneted, (‘tis
January too’) kill an hour in listlessly list
ening to the wildairs of old Spain. The
custom here does*not admit of givftig ev
ening parties: such entertainments are
unknown, and the Opera, a ride? r <rn the
Paseo, a call on a friend, or the tnusic at
the Piaza, are the acknowledged modes
of “killing the enemy.” The gentlemen
are remarkably neat in their dress,—
white pantaloons, while waistcoats, (al
ways spotless,) and black dress-coats,
with japanned shoes, being the style at
present. Their usual rendezvous, of ah
evening, is the famous Confiteria Domini
ca, where delicious ices, sherbets, creams,
sherry-cobblers, chocolate, &c. may be
had.
The police regulations of the city re
quire that all shall be in their houses by
IIP. M., and very few people are seen
in the streets after that hour. The watch
men are numerous and efficient; they go
armed with a long lance, a pair of horse
man’s pistols, and carry a huge lantern
patrolling the streets faithfully and well,
crying out- the hour and half hour, the
state of the weather, always preceeded by
ashrill whistle) in such hoarse, discordant
tones, that for the firstfew nigths after our
arrival, sleep was a stranger to us. A
dollar, 1 remember, boldly adminstered,
bribed the one on our square for three or
four nights, to yelp his infernal yell on
the corner below.
At 6 A. M. most of the inhabitants are
out of their beds, blinds open, a cup of
coffee served, and the business of the city
commences. Breakfast at 9—from 11 to
3, lounge, dine, and ride out to the sub
urbs, (most delightful drives,) returning
in time for opera or calls. The paseos,
outside the walls, are public gardens of
of very considerable size, laid out in paral
lelograms, and planted with the usual va
riety of tropical trees, palms, palmettos,
cotton-wood, coa-coa-nut, oleander, ban
ana,, &4*, forming three parallel roads
for horsemen and carriages, and two for
pedestrians. The foliage is very luxuri
ant, and, in the afternoon, all classes re
sort to these delightful promenades.
When you consider that the thermometer
here, at midday, in the month of Janua
ry, ranges from 80 to 85 degrees, you can
better understand how absolutely neces
sary the shady walks and coo! breezes of
these charming Paseos, become to the
comfort and health of the heated denizen
ol the city.
The palaces, or mansions, of the few
grandees, are large but not so imposing
as those of the European nobility. Their
style of architecture is the same as that
ot other Habanero houses, painted per
haps more gaily and beautifully, and
clearer and more perfect in their general
economy. The Captain General’s city
palace, fronting the Plaza-de-Armas, oc
cupies one whole side of the square.
The Churches have not the slightest
pretension to architectural beauty. In
deed, few cities of any size in Europe, but
can boast of church or cathedral far more
superb. The cathedral on the calle San
Ignacio, is an irregular, low-roofed,
double-towered building, constructed of
the yellow, porous coral-rock of the Is
land ; the front has a double tier of rough,
jagged columns, supporting the peaked
roof and entablature of the half-vestibule,
while the walls are full of the unsightly
holes Originally used for the scaffoldirig.the
pigeons now occuping them as nests. It
would puzzle even our friend H. to give
a designativy name to its architectural
order. The interior consists of a long
nave, with side aisles and transept, the
roof supported by Doric pillars, painted
white, and separating the nave from the
aisles. One beauty, not usual in a Ro
man Catholic church, it has: the absense
of all gaudy, guilt frippery. The seven
or eight chappels, on either side, are ex
ceedingly plain, and ornamented with
sober taste. Over the alter of each, a
painting in framed dark rose-wood, 6ome
of them 6f considerable beauty as wonts
of art—the one representing the Virgin,
another of St. John the Baptist, ana a
third of some bishop-saint, are the beet.
The high-alter, with its baulrechino, stalls
and rail, are worth but a passing glance.
A niche to the left, it is said, contains the
ashes of Columbus, and a marble tablet,
set in the wall, also says so. I believe this
is the fourth tomb of Columbus that has
been shown to me invarious travels, and
en passant, 1 have seen three skulls of St.
John, preserved as relics in three dif
ferent cathedrals, all genuine of course.
Santo Domingo. San Angustin, San Fe
lipe, Santa Teresa, Senta Clara, and
Santo Christo, are other principal church
es, but really have nothing in or about
them to describle. The attendance upon
all is poor: in no church have I counted
over thirty persons of a Sunday morning,
and those were mostly old or very young
people, negroes and negres.ses. The
blacks are the most ilevdut, and cross and
recross themselves, kneel and pray with
most commendable devotion.
The great Tacon Theatre, situate a
short distance outside the walls, is, in ev
ery respect, the beau-ideal of an Opera
house. You enter the first tier and par-
quette from the level of the street, and
find the interior as large almo'flft as the
famous San Carlos of Naplffg. Five
tiers of boxes and a parqutie, with stalls
for 600. The lattice-work in front of
each box is light and graceful,and so open
that the dresses and pretty feet of the
Sengoras are seen to bewitching advan
tage. The decorations of gilt arp costly,
and the frescos and side ornameijts of the
proscenium exceedingly beautiful Each
box seats six persons (ihirteen»dol!s.);
the broad lobbies extend completely
round the circle, and an excellent ven
tilation procured by means of stationary
blinds in each box, looking oqt upon the
lobbies, and through wdiich any- one is
privileged to gaze at the fair and fat
Senoritas. I counted a dozen geqtlemen
peeping through the blinds of th# box of
Sen. E. the “belle of Havana.” A mag-
nificientcuf-glsss chandelier, lighted with
gas, and numerous smaller ones nforn the
boxes, give a brilliant light to this fevilliant
house. *
A corps of soldiers, some eighty or
ninety, are always detached to preserve
order at the opera; they are stationed in
the lobbies and on the landing-places.
As for the beauty gathered there, it don,t
compare with our Astor-Place. The
dresses are mostly white, and of materials
suited to the warmth of the climate: the
jaunty opera-cloak and snow-white furs,
are nuknown, diamonds in glittering
profusion, head-dresses simple, and the
fans ! Yes, the coquettish fans, of costly
and rare workmanship, are used as only
Spanish women can use them. The
small hands that generally toy with these
airy play-things, belong to brunette,
with the smooth, oily complexion pe
culiar to the inhabitants of Spain or Italy;
the hair and eyes, are invariably black.
A fair skin is not uncommon, with dark
eyes and hair, and in fact color is some
what promiscuous in these latitudes.
Past twenty, obesity prevails to a hea
vy extent—the indolent habits of the la
dies, doubtless, being the cause. The
Tacon can challenge any opera-house in
the world, in the dimensions of its female
audience, and the whole house will seat
five thousand persons.
The street has its swarms of negro
urchins, (white children are seldom seen
in the thoroughfares,) and offensive as it
is, hundreds of them are daily seen, I'ree
lrom any artificial covering. Living is
expensive. The rent for an ordinary
house fifty ounces ($850) per annum, and
lfromthatupto2 and 3 thousand dollars
—this includes the stable on the ground
floor, where the volanta and horse are
kept, literally, under your very nose.
Meat, (I won’t describe‘the dirty, filthy
markets) such as it is, 20c the pound:
fish, red, yellow, blue and green, 16 to
ISc: good butter not to be had ; bread
excellent, hut dear; wines cheap; fruits,
ditto ; erfrriage and horses, $2 per hour,
and last, not least, ice $1 per hundred.
Clothing, of light stuff, sells at moderate
prices. Good board, at a boarding house,
there being no such “institution” as a ho
tel, cannot be procured for less than $2,-
50 per day—the tare miserable—two in
a room, and mosquitoes and . Wash
ing $1,50 per dozen. The cheapest thing
here is man. A good, lively, likely ne
gro, young and strong, is marketable lor
30 ounces, ($5 10.) and if bread os a wait
er, cook, or coachman, will bring a few
ounces more. They all appear well fed
and happy, in the city, and on Sundays,
with kettle drums, hollow logs, calabash
es and files, dance their fandangos along
the barriers, in true African style
The burial of the dead, at the Carflpo
Santo, is the most shocsirg scene about
Havana. Picture to yourself the unat-,
tended corpse, brought in a wooden box
to the grave, and tumbled, shrouded but
enffirdess, into the pitprovided for. it! The
poorer classes are wrapped in the most
miserable rags, and frequently bodies are
left for hourB naked on the ground, and
covered with vermin, awaiting the tardy
movements of tfio burier. Sculls and
Loies also lie exposed on the surface, and
poor humanity in this Christian city re
ceives not at the grave the sobers decent
recent respect paid to the dead by the
North American Indian.
Tsrncr’a Compound Fluid Extract of Con-
yzn and Stillinifia.
This preparation ia n highly Concentrated Ex
tract, containing all the Active Medicinal Prop
erties of the Conyza', (commonly known ug Black
Root,) and the Stillingia, ot Queen's Delight.
These plants have been long since used among
our Southern Negroes and in empyrieal practice,
with the happiest results, in cases of Chornic
Rheumatism, Ulcers of longstanding, and Sec
ondary Syphilis. It is much superior to any pre
parations of Sarsaparilla as an alterative, being
more active and prompt in its operation on tho
system. These facts have induced the subscrib
ers to present to the attention of Physicians a
preparation prepared according to strict Chemi-
cul and Purmaceutiaal science, devoid of all the
feculent ami inert parts of thte roots, not doubt
ing tlmt it will supersede the unscientific and
crude preparations hitherto used.
Price—$1 per bottle, Or six bottles for $5.

PROSPECTUS OF THE
DAILY MORIVI1VG NEWS,
An Independent Commercial and News Paper, to be
Published in the City of Savannah.
BY JOHN M COOPER,
EDITED BY W. T. THOMPSON,
Author of “ Major Jones' Courtship," “Chronicles of
Pincvilte," “ Sketches of Travel," ffc- (fc.
Experience 1ms proven both the practicability and
usefulness of the penny Press. Within the few years
past all the Northern and Eastern cities, as well as
most of those South and West of us, have been sup
plied with papers of this description, whose small di
mensions enable their publishers to issue them at a
price sulow as to place them within the reaeh of all,
and thus to make them the best mediums for the gen
eral diffusion of information on all subjects bearing
upon theintcrests of community. By cheapening the
Press, all have been participants in its benefits, while
the publishers and conductors, by a greatly increased
patronage,have been made amply remunerated for their
expenditure of capital and labor.
Believing that the growing prosperity of Savannah
authorizes, and that her interests demand the estab
lishment of a cheap commercial and news medium,
we have determined to publish the Daily Morning
News as nearly as possible upon the plan of the penny
Press of the Northern cities.
The Morning News will be emphatically n Com
mercial Newspaper, devoted to the diffusion of useful
information on all subjects of popular interest, and to
the advancement of City and State interests, gener
ally ; preserving at all timea a strictly neutral and
independent position in regard to Politics and Parties.
Arrangements have been made for giving the paper all
the facilities enjoyed hy the best Daily Papers, and
no pains will be spared to make it satisfactory in all its
departments, and to give it the character of a res
pectable, useful, and reliable Journal.
In view of the great advantages which must result
to the citizens and busiuesaman fromthe establishment
of such a paperin Savannah, we feel that we may ask
and safely count upon a liberal support.
Terms.—The Daily Morning News will be issued
and served to subscribers at #4, per annnm, payable
naif yearly, in advance ; or, 10 Cents perweek, pay-
able to the Carriers. *■
