We afik you to plnce at once the ‘' ' A veto which (t ‘ ADDRESS OF GENERAL LOPEZ. Freemen of America ! In an ago when the des potism of an Old World are font crumbling to the ground, in spite of the myriads ot bayonet, by which they are vainly propped, it cannot be that one of the moat oppressive and corrupt of them all should continue any longer to maintain an unnatu ral dominion over a land almost in sight ot your tree and happy shores. . . Two years ago I sought your ever open hospitality, in consequence of the premature discovery, by the Bpanlsh Government, ot a then projected insurrection in Cuba, under my command. Not in vain did I and my companions in exile rely upon your sympathy and succor, in such a cause; and a chivalrous band ot the choicest spirits from among yourselves, nrdent with the same noble enthusiasm that warmed the hearts and nerved the aims of Lafayette and Kosciusco, have now followed mo, to unfurl the flag of freedom on the fairest and noblest island of the globe; in no sense as.invaders, but as brethren appealed to by brethren; as a generous, invoked by a suffering people; in the name of that liberty so sacred and so dear to every American heart; to afford the requslto nucleus around which will gladly rally tho long impatient patriotism of Cubn herself. Its notoriety supersedes any need of proving tne truth which might be attested by clouds ct witness es. that tyranny was never more bateiul in itseii nor more hated by its victims, than that which now afflicts the land where rest the ashes of Columbus. A weight of taxation such hb has never before in any age or .country, borne down the energies ot an equal population, is the least of our evils; though e are made to behold it employed in riveting our own chains, in pampering the luxurious vlce °f “ V®,®, court, and in latteninginsnoate swarms of proud corrupt officials of every grade, sent u .® r ™““® r , the ocean, destitute alike ot sympatby w11h our pe p , of interest in- our country, undo! care tor any thing but the maintenance of their dominion: rod the h - crease of their extortion For the b™efit ot au aBr culture throe thousand miles distant, our very bread is made a dear luxury, by a duty ot ten dollars a. bar ret upon your flour. The Cuban, indeed, country, guaranties nor rights. He holds hw p perty, his personal liberty, bis very existence on his nativeeoil, at tlie mere pleasuso ot a master whose absoluteism is more than Oriental. He can scarcely journey out of sight of his home, extend his hospital ity for a night to a friend, assemble his acquaintance for tlie most innocent purpose oi entertainment, with out the servile necessity ol first obtaining a paid per mission from some neighboring petty functionary oi the all-pervading despotism. All the yearly millions of his money which go to Madrid, do not suffice to purchase him the right of a single representative there; nor can he with impunity even utter aloud, whether iu the form of complaintunder suffering, or of petition lor redress, a syllable tending to attack the corrupt interests of his tyrants, or to expose any ol the abominations of their system. His sons have no career possible to any degree of talent, enterprise or ambition. His daughters are not safe from insult and persecution at the caprice of an insolent governor. He knows only a press fettered into utter servility by the severest censorship; a reli gion fatally tainted in its ministry, through the in fluence of corrupting association with government so corrupt; and a justice notoriously venal, while mfal- libly ruinous if it can entangle him within its grasp. As a general rule, no office in Cuba is humble enough to be accessible to the Cuban; bribery and extreme subserviency affording the only explanation of its rare exceptions. On a soil capable of sustaining ten mil lions of prosperous inhabitants, he beholds, in a di minishing population, the surest proof of misgovern- high sovcreigiV veto which ft is yours, and yours alone, to exerciec in fitting-wise, on your side of the broad Atlantic, upon that attrocicniB menace of on equally weak and cruel despotism, which, however sure the failure of any attempt to exercise it, could not even be defeated without most deplornble consequences. We invite you, therefore, to come, Freemen ot America, in your own modes, with your own gallant hearts and trusty arms, to the shores where your brethren will rejoice to welcome, honor and rewara you.

The barque Norma, took fire last Thursday night about 12 o’clock, and in the course of 24 hours, burnt to the waters edge. She had about 500 bales of cotton on board, which, with tho vessel, was mostly covered by insurance. Middling cotton is worth to-day, from 11 to Hi good middling 11J.

Our receipts reach 130,000 bales in round numbers, and will probably go to 135,000 bales, if all the cotton comes forward. The Fire on Sunday Night. The building in Broughton-street, belonging to Mrs. Marshall, which took fire on Sunday night, is so much injured that it is beyond repair, and, we under stand, hnndsoVie brick buildings will be erected on its cite in a short time. Mrs. Laura Yonge's furniture was greatly damag ed in being removed. It was valued at $2,500, and in eured in the.Southern Mutual office of this city, to the extent of the damage. Several enterprising persons, in their anxiety to save, threw looking-glasses, crock ery, etc., from the upper windows to the street, which as a matter ofcourse’were broken to pieces—their ob ject was accomplished, the articles escaped being con suined, and the pieces could be saved. We noticed one person breaking a mahogany bedstead, valued at $60, and throwing tlie posts, &c., out of the up ter windows. Mr. Wm. F. Chaplain, residing next door to Mrs, Yonge, had his furniture slightly injured in being re moved. It was insured to the extent of the damage, in the Southern Mutual office. Mr. M. Pendergast’s furniture was .also slightly injured in being removed. It was insured in Hie Howard office. Mr. John Wait, residing weat of Mrs. Yonge, had his furniture considerably damaged in beingremoved, No insurance. Mr. Jos. Lippman's furniture was also injured con siderably, and had no insurance on it. We regret to state that Mile Ajielie lost her en tire wardrobe. No insurance. The fire, we understand, was the result of accident, Mrs. Yonge sent a small negro boy to tlie attic to procure some cotton which waa in a ciosset, and it supposed a epark from the lamp ignited the cotton, and eet the buil ling on fire. Our citizens canuot be too careful in trusting lights to young servants, who at best, are very careless, and cannot form any con ception of the misery a moment’s inattention may It is not merely the cannon and the bayonet, but an atrocious policy more potent than cither, which have alone, tlius far, freemen of America, sustained tho tyranny thus briefly sketched, against, tlie general in dignation of the people of Cuba. Spain has hitherto succeeded in paralysing her suffering victim, not alone by a system of severe and vigilant military police, rendering it scarcely possible to commence the re quisite organization for insurrection, but chiefly by means of the.perpetua. threat of another and bloodier San Domingo, if she should dare to stir. In pursu ance of this truly infernal calculation, while she has studiously excluded the immigration of white labor, and prevented the organization of local militia, or the arming of the white population, she has kept pouring upon our shores, alike against our wishes, the mora; sense of mankind, and the faith of her own treaties, a constant importation of Africun savages, (her very royal family participating largely in the unhallowed traffic,) to whom she has pointed as ever ready, on tlie outbreak of a revolution for independence, to be cno- verted ir.to the instruments of a farewell vengennee at which the human ruce should shudder. While Ehglund has proclaimed her purpose <apur- { iose now manifestly fast ripening to its fulfilment) of caving Canada free to go in peace whenever the mass of its population should desire tlie severance oi the colonial relation, the brutal barbarism of our tyrants bas, on the coutrai y, in many forms of expression, proclaimed that, if driven from Cuba, they would leave tlie land behind them a crimsoned waste, nnd that the island should cease to be Spanish only to be come African. But in spite of tills menace, the success of which Heaven is too just, and you are too near, to permit, the hour has arrived when Cuba can and will no longer endure die biuiben of her chuins; and acting in sympathy and concert with the indignant and im patient patriotism of the island, we go to carry into effect tlie revolution planned and commenced among tha sous of tho soil, and to give the long desired signal for the overthrow of tho worst form of colonial des potism now existing on the luce of the earth ; to sub stitute a noble flag of Cuba’s own for that disgraced hunner, once renowned, whoso twin colors now sym bolize to us only tlie blood of cruelty, and the gold of corruption. The flag ia beautiful with three colors of Liberty, and shines with a stur of kindred lustre I to the constellation of your own. We give it to the winds in the same holy cause, in the strength of tlie sauie sacred principles, in the same resolved spirit and in firm trust in the same protecting Providence, the supreme urbiter of national right, as when your fathers, too, first raised the hunner which now sweeps every sea. and committed to tile Heaven-blessed sword of Washington the high mission of its defence and its triumph. We need not invoke your sympathies and your prayers to follow the career of that flag. They have never been wonting to the side oi" human rights, on ovary battle field Between freedom and despotism, whether in Greece, in Poland, in Columbia, in Hun gary, or in once more glorious Rome, ever since tlie God of Nations lias entrusted to your young giant atrength the ark of the sacred cause. This is no dis tant struggle, freemen of America, for transatlantic liberty or nationality ; scarcely can it be called a for eign one. We are your close neighbors as well as friends and brethren. Our shore "is almost visible from your own. Cubn is the well-known key of your GuU of Mexico, across which it blocks and guards the outlet of your-wholo Mississippi Valley, like a watch-dog stretched across the threshold of y our door. No Europeuu Monarchy ought to hold a position which would be made one of fatal evil by alliance with, or subjection to, any great naval power hostile to you. Our institutions huve to a great extent identified our necessary destinies. Thousands of your l'ellow-citi- zeus, and many millions of your property, ure already established among us; and your contiguity, and a con stant intercourse, which ail the restraints of Spanish jealousy could only discourage but could not whol ly prevent, have made irrepressible the noble as pirations we have learned from you and are now ' obeying. We want and we ask no aid against-the fair force of the tyrants themselves. Cuba lias nothing to fear in a atruggle'.im tlie principles of civilized war fare with Spain alone. We invoke your assistance solqly farthe purpose of making sure, pfompt, and i±S bloodless ah possible, that achievement of our in dependence on which we are now reablved—to sup- From Jamaica. Accounts from Kingston to the 14th ult. have-been received at New Orleans, The Falmouth Post says : Throughout the whole of -Hits and tlie adjoining parishes the planters are complaining seriously for want of rain. The young cane plants possess not'that green and lively appearance which would lead to the hope of the next crop being a good one. The papers confirm former accounts of the degrada tion of the negro population. It seems from the fol lowing, which ia taken from tho correspondence of the Cornwall Chronicle, that the blacks are relapsing intotheir original African barburism: In one of your late numbers reference was made to tlie growing frequency of adultery among the work ing classes. This I am led to believe arises from two causes. 1. Tho power and wickedness of those who prac tice obeah. 2. The want of a divorce bill, which is applicable to the circumstances of the people. That obeah or witchcraft is at present advancing among the negroes, few who know them will deny The obeah people are generally the most profligate- qiembers of the community, and exercise unbound ed power over their dupes, and especially over the fomales. Two cases which recently came under my notice will prove this. One obeah man is an old vil lain, who has brought much mischief in the families in ills neighbourhood. Superstition will not suffer the married women to resist his beastly advances, nor the husband to punish him. This is well known throughout the district. Another obeah man carried off a wife from her husband and openly lives with her. Lately he induced tlie wife of one of his neigh bors to desert her husband, and live with him in a house olose to that of her huebnnd. Neither party had power to resist him. After a time he was carried to orison, when the wife eought refuge again in her husband’s dwelling, if the most rigorous measures ore not adopted to arrest such practices society will be ruined. The plan suggested by your correspon dent, I think, is excellent, of severely flogging those who can be proved guilty of obeah practices ; and I would propose as an improvement, that when prac ticable, the chastisement should be inflicted at the F lace where tho obeah man planted or practised. This doubt not would more effectually break the spell by which the people are bound, than any other means that could be adopted. StiU Later. The steamship Philadelphia arrived at New York, and brings Kingston dates to the 21st inst. The Standard makes the following announcement of the capture of a slave trader : We understand that H. M. schooner Bermuda, Lieut. Jolly, commander has cuptured and brought into Ocho Rios, a slaver, with upward of 200 slaves on board. The agent general of immigration nnd the gentlemen of tne mixed commission were sum moned to Spanish Town yesterday forenoon, by ex press, to confer with his excellency, the Govcnor, as to the disposal, we suppose of the slaver and her cargo. Tho Kingston Journal announces the arrival of the schooner and her prize at Port Royal. The latter was a Brazilian brig. Her living freight was landed at Ocho Rios, St. Ann’s, there to await the ordor of the Governor ns to its disposition. The immigration from Jamaica to Chagress still con tinues. Three sloops, crowded with passengers, left Kingston on the 20th. Retirement or Mr. Clayton.—The Washing ton correspondent- of thfc New York Tribune states unequivoca’ly that Mr. Clayton has it in serious con templation to retire from the cabinet—from reasons however, which have nothing to do with his official acts. Balance Due—Smashing Ahead. It is calculated that the value of exports to California, from all the States on this side of the Rocky Mountains, amount to $50,000,000—imports of gold dust in payment, $15,000,000—balance yet due, $35,000,000. If this Bhould not be paid in nine months, won’t their some smashing ? Mr*. Swisslielm and Mr. Webster, Again. Some time since we published an extract lonmon article by this woman for tho purpfcse of showing the character of the abuse directed against Mr. Web ster by tlie Abolition, Free-soil, frec-tlimking, free speaking clique of Socialista, Atheists, and Agrarians, which tho Tribune is the organ. The article pur ported to have appeared in tlie Tribune, but seems not have been printed in that paper, though it emana ted from this vulgar woman, who disgraces the repor ter’s gallery of the House of Representatives, as its regular correspondent, und was, doubtlessly, miscred- ited, from the fuct of its bearing so strong a family resembiunce to tlie billingsgate abuse and fisli-market ecandul which make up the staple Conteuta of Hint pa per. We published tho nrtiele alluded to, much against our will, that our readers might judge how ranch respect such assailants ns the Tribune and its female correspondent were entitled to. But though witli this motive we udmitted the offensive paragraph to our columns, we cannot, even to sustain our own assertions in regard to the character of tlie Tribune nnd the writer, admit the disgusting article which did appear irom this woman in a late number of the Tribune, in vindication of her assault upon tlie pri vate character of Mr. Webster. The article is not only coarse, but utterly nausenting, and proves, be yond a doubt, that tills western virugo is as destitute of all sense of decency and refinement ns she is of any true notions of virtue or morality. We think that our friend who so promptly vindicated the Tri bune from the charge of having given publicity to tho first article against Mr. Webster, will agree witli us, that tlie women’s apology is worse than the offence. In the course of her article, after, in effect, reitera ting her slanderous charge against Mr. Webster, Mrs. Swisehelm innocently remarks : It maybe, Mr. Greeley, I nm not competent to judge of these matters, for having been brought up, and re siding nearly all my life in a small western village, where everybody knew everybody’s business, or in the woods where there is no fear ot observation, the entire machinery of city life is an enigma. It is a mystery how people can bear to lie afraid of one an other, to tremble nnd turn pale lest some one should find out what they are doing, what they have done, or what they intend to do. Some creatures are only fit to live in the wood. I, for one, seldom go out of them without trespussing on some one’s vested rights. , It is, indeed, a very great pity that the unsophistica. ted creature could not have been permitted to remain in her native woods, where, among beasts, she could hnve found companions better fitted for society. We think Philosopher Greel<$ has much to answer for for having brought her from her seclusion into a world of which she knows so little, nnd for which her education, tastes and sentiments are so ill suited.

Marriage Extraordinary—At the Catholic church in Franklin street, this morning, Signor Benedeti, the celebrated tenor, was married to Signorina Trufti, tlie charming vocalist. The ceremony was performed by Bishop Fitzpatrick. The happy pair have taken a cot- tago at Lynn, for tbe summer.—Boston Transcript, Saturday. The Pizarro and the Creole. Action of the U. S. Schooner Petrel. The Editors of the Baltimore Sun have been favored with the perusal of a letter from an officer on board the surveying schooner Pet rel, nt Key West, dated May 22d, giving the particu lars of the entrance of tho Creole and Pizarro into that port, and the communication that took plnce be tween the Pizarro and the Petrel, on that occasion. From this it appears that Lieut. Rodgers, of the Pe trel, did furnish the Pizarro with a pilot, as requested, but he left tlie steamer, in his boat, and on returning, stated that when he told them to steer noth-west they steered north-east, and that a file of soldiers was sta tioned on the quarter-dock to Bhoot him, in ease he should run her on a shoal. Under such circumstan ces, he thought it best to leave, giving ns an excuse that he would return on bo ard the schooner, and thutthe Pizarro could follow her through the chan nel. The Petrel then started through the channel, but observing that the steamer did not follow, Lieut Rodgers lowered his boat and proceeded on board the Pizarro, volunteering his services to pilot them in, which the commander, much to his surprise, declined, and told him tliat he should report him to our Gov ernment for preventing him from li king a pirate, and asked his name whereupon Lieut. Rodgers handed him hie curd, and returned to his own vessel. This letter, in alluding to the invasionists, says they are most intelligent,men, far above the order of which such an expedition might be supposed to be composed. From Texan. Advices from Gulveston to the 23d ult., state that very little damage if any, has been done tojhe crops of Texas, by the overflow of rivers. The weather is now dry, and no fear is felt from high waters. Sopic injury hes been done by the long continuance of rains, operating directly on the fields; but it is yet dif ficult to say to what extent the damage will go. At present tho crops are rapidly recovering, and promise not to fall short of those of last year. 'J The wheat crop in tlie northern counties of Texas, which was otherwise highly promising, has suffered seriously from tlie ravages of rice birds, immense swarms of which have visited tl-at region,and in some instances almost destroyed whole fields. A storm or tornado passed through Grimes county a short time since,prostrating several houses—among others the court house nt the town of Anderson, the County seat. The records were not destroyed. The court house at the sa ne place was destroyed by fire two or three years since. The Indians were continuing their depredations They hod attacked und shot the mail rider n ’nr the Neucei, and had robbed the settlements ot 130 horses. The Hydrographic Survey of th?coast was nearly completed. The depth of Galveston Bay is very far from uniform, varying from six to fifty-iour feet, this last being a much greater depth than wo had imag ined was to be found. Tho channel along this city varies from eighteen to thirty feet deep. Lieut. Bald win has found a greater depth of water on our bar, thnn is generally supposed. The lowest water he lias found during the whole time he has been emply- ed on these surveys is thirteen and a half feet, and this depth was found at the extraordinary low stages of waters produced by a strong and constant norther that had continued for three days. The maximum variation on the bar appears to be about two feet, giving fifteen and a hulf feet water at full tides. It is tlie opinion of Lieut. B. that the main channel is deepening, though very slowly.
