MORNING NEWS. Correrpoudence of Newark Daily Advertiser. 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.

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. *■ Savannah, January, 1850.
