Stock of Cotton.—The stock of cotton, judging from
present appearances, will bn unusually large at this
port at the Clooc of our commercial year on the 31st
of Auguot. This will bo caused by the indisposition
of factors to sell unless at high prices and the scarcity
of tonnage. According to the shipping list of last
Saturday, „

Correspondence of the Daily Morning Dews.
Nkw York. June 7, 1850.
The iniquities of this city are unlimited, and cannot
be circumscribed within any particular circle. Expe
rience satisfies me of this fact, and, moreover, 1 am
satisfied that politics arc a more fruitful source
of evil than any thing else. It lias been snld that eve
ry man lias his price, ami I don’t believe that a truer
sentiment wus ever uttered—here every ntHD has his
price, and the value is estimated in proportion to his
political intlucncq. Tuke, for instance, the Common
Council, now Whig, and, pf course, they desire to re
tain the ascendancy,—think you they would stop
short'of Rny thing, if calculated to secure it 7 No I I
say emphatically, No. It is the goal fy which they
are struggling—the secret motive of all their legisla
tion. Every measure tliut is discussed is viewed with
reference to itsetfectupon the public—politically; and
its tendency to produce the desired effect. It is, in
fact, all politics—politico-politics. Tuke one c..6e in
point.: We have some eight or nine hundred police
men—they are paid $10 a week for lounging about the
Station Houses, or loafing in Bar Rooms. or sitting at
the corners of streets reading the papers. But they
are not satisfied with this, although poor laborers
work like omnibus horses for a great deal less; and
good mechanics earn no more. They wont $12, and
havitfg by undue influence got a bill through the Leg
islature, giving power to the Common Council to- reg
ulate their salury, the subject is before that enlighten
ed and independent body. Now, a reasonable and
unprejudiced person would say (politics, mind you,
being out of the question,) that they were very well
paid- But politics steps in and suggests that these
nine hundred men have votes, and their relatives and
friends have votes, and they have their p rice, and it
must be paid; so, of course, the demand will be ac
ceded to, and they must vote the Whig ticket when
called upon to do so.
Take another instance, in another branch of City
administration—a Criminal Court. A complaint was
made a week since, by a Baker in the Bowery, against
the infamously notorious Capt. Rynderr, (he was once
Captain of a ship on the North River, hence the title,)
that he and his party had induced him to enter low
groggeries on different occasions, to play cards, and
by this means they had fleeced him out of every dollar
he hud, and reduced himself and family to destitution.
The atiidavit was taken, and quietly put into the pock-
er, of the Justicetile fact was carefully conceuled
from the Reporters—he wa3 never arrested, but yes
txrday was appointed for hearing the case, which was
also a secret. The witnesses were present, and the
complainant; but lo I the change that had been effee
ted; he discovered that he had sworn to a mistake ;
that Rynders hud nothing to do with it, and the com
plaint wns dismissed, of course; and this ruflinn, this
mercenary bravo and thief, is permitted to perpetrate
• crime with impunity, because, forsooth, he has a
number of equally unprincipled scoundrels at his
command, who all have votes, and who can be very
serviceable in any emergency. It is disgraceful in the
extreme—*’ 'tis true, and pity ’tie, ’tis true.”

Dolce Campasa Attachment. By reference to
our advertising columns itwillbeseeti that Mr. Jones
offers for sale u Piano with the dolce campano attach
ment. This is the second piano of this kind that has
been brought to our city, and the opportunity afford
ed to possess such on instrument is rare.
$93,704,693 7L
Tiie interest accruing on this in July will be about
1,800.000. What portion of this debt is held abroad
cannot be definitely ascertained, but probably about J
of it.
Arrival of the Liberia Packet. Tile Liberia Packet,
Home, Me,i-ter, arrived at this port on Monday, from
Liberia, whence she sailed on the 24th of April. We
were yesterday called upon by a colored man, one
of the passengers from Liberia, whose passport styled
him the “Hon. E. J. Roy, Speaker ot the House of
Representatives of Liberia.” He seems to be a most
intelligent man, and represents the colony to be pros
pering beyond the expectations of the most sanguine,
and healthy to all who use ordinary prudence m not
partaking too freely at first of the tropical fruits, lie
is engaged largely in mercantile pursuits, and has
merely visited the United Stutcs in the prosecution of
liis business.
The Packet brought 7 cabin and 2 steerage passen
gers, among the latter two boys, natives of Liberia.
The passengers come here on business mid on visits
to their friends. The population of the colony is grad
ually and stendilv increasing, and with the present flat
tering prospect betore it, it is destined iu a score of
years to bee me a rich and powerful republic—great
in its influence for the regeneration of the African
race.—Balt. Sun.
Present to the Pope.—The clergy of France have
sent a magnificent incense burner to tlie Pope, ns a
present, in remembrance of his return to Rome. The
Liverpool Times says of it.
"It is one of the finest pieces of workmanship over
displayed as a result of the tnstc of this century. It
is of solid gold, adorned with carbuncles of extraor
dinary size, said to be the gift of a great lady of the
Faubourg St. Germain, whose wedding pantre they
once adorned. The chasing of the vessel is most
exquisite, representing the incidents of the life of St.
Peter, while the lid is surmounted with the Gallic
cock with expanded wings, composed of the most
brilliant and costly gems of every color.”
An Extraordinary Barometer.—All barometers yet
invented require correction when, an observation is
made, but the remote glen of Aliriachan can boast of
one which can be more re’icd on thun even the Torri
cellian experiment itself. It consists simply of a stone
inside the wall of the liouaa occupied by the honest
tenant of Achacuilinn, which, three daysbeforehnnd,
prognosticates wet weather with mathematical pre
cision. The sign is, that it oozes out drops of water.
The natives hold that this wonderful 6tone has been
Savannah Mutual Insurance Company.—We
invite the attention of our readers to the card of this
new Company, which will be found iu another col
umn of our paper. This is the only Company in oar
city, and as it is an association of Savannah cnpitnl
for the mutual benefit of our citizens, it should
receive a liberal patronage. The clear profits of
Insurance are, under ordinary circumstances, very
great, while the benefits which it confers in tlie
protection of the property of individuals cannot
bo over estimated. By insuring in a foreign office,
the purchaser of the policy secures himself against
loss, while by insuring at home he would not only ef-
feet that object, but would give the profit derived
from the risk to those who would use it in our city.
Vast amounts of money go from ub annually to swell
the immense profits of foreign Insurance Offices,
which might be better kept among us. The holders
of property and those interested in the welfare of our
city ehould think of this.
ladles are three in number, Mrs. Fish and two young
er sisters, the Misses Fox. about 15 and 18 years old,
Mrs. F. is about 25,1 should think. They are respec
table looking ladies, and there is an air of sincerity
about them perfectly irresistible. The exhibitions
take place two or three times a day, in one of the
rooms of the Hotel, but only a few persons are ad
mitted; the price is $L each, do that the speculation is
very profitable to the ladies, though it must be very
tiresome to the Spirits—the rapping spirits, I mesn.
I must admit that it is a most extraordinary affair
how the effect is produced, I cannot imagine.
Last night the three females were at a private house
in the city, and introduced the Tappings’ to quite a
distinguished party,—pov. Marcy, Bancroft, Cooper,
Bryant.Willis and several others ; and as the,’ could
not doubt the evidence of their senses, they almost
became proselytes to the “spirit doctrine." I have
not space to day to give you a particular account of
my visit, so must reserve it for my next letter.
Our Common Council has appropriated $2000 for
the 4tb of July glorification. The boys commenced
their sports early this year, with their crackers, to
the horror of nervous old women; butthey were pre
maturely checked by the arrest of two or three of
the juvenile patriots.
The charge against “one eyed Thompson” of send
ing tliut “torpedo" was dismissed by the Justice. This
is a curious - case—they are all rogues together,
and ns they testify against each other, nud not
one of them can be believed even on oath, I presume
they will all get clear.
Clinrlotte Cushman plays at Niblo's on Monday
night, lining on her way to Boston to embark in the
Asia for England. It is reported that the illness of
her friend, Miss Cooke, lias hastened her departure.—
But it is not so, she leaves disgusted with the people,
because they did not support her better. Her first en
gagement was very successful, but her bearing, her
boast that she was going to spend the money she made
here, in England, nnd certain aristocratic airs slip
assumed became known, and the audience fell oti.
She .goes back a disappointed woman.
We are awaiting further advices from Cuba by the

of incalculable service to them. In harvest, when tlie
crop is cut down but still unsecured, every eye in the
glen is turned towards Tamasan Achacuilinn, and
whenever be begiuB to gather in the stocks there is
a simultaneous movement through the glen. lnd< id,
it is not unusual to see such « scene of hurry mid
bustle ns this take place in the finest day in hardest,
nnd when noordinnry philosopher could sliy there
wns a cloud of rain in tlie sky. Usage has transferred
the mime of the barometer from the stone to tlie owner;
so that, in that and the surrounding district, the wor

Washington, June 6. The Senate, ns you will see
from the papers of this morning, have at length, taken
the question on the amendments to the tentli sec
tion of the adjustment bill. They were a month up
on the section,nnd patience wns wearied witli .he con
tinued discussion. Tlie result wns that Mr. Chase’s
amendment, which was a quasi Wiimot, was xejected
—25 to 30. Mr. Jefferson Davis’ amendment was re
jected. Mr. Seward then moved tlio Wiimot Proviso
and it wns rejected, yeas 23, nays 33.
There were three absentees, Mr. Phelps, Mr. Bor
land and Mr. Wales, nnd one vacancy. The result is
very satisfactory. Mr. Whitcomb and Mr. Cooper
voted for the Proviso under instructions, but will vote
for Mr. Clay's adjustment bill.
Mr. Turney, ot'Tennessee, who has been supposed
to be hostile to the adjustment, declared his purpose
yesterday, to vote for it. Mr. Sprunnce, of Dele-
ware, wifi vote for it. The friends of the adjustment,
are now more confident of its success in tlie Senate
than they have hitherto been. Mr. Turney yester-
dny, said there were 11 Southern Democratic Sena
tors against it, nnd 5 for it. But, Mr. Foote denied
that these 11 Senators would ultimately vote against
the bill. Judge Sharkey's letters to Mr Foote in fa
vor of tlie adjustment has grent influence here. The
tentli section of the bill was finally so amended, as to
prohibit the territorial legislature from passing any law
eitherexeludingor admitting slavery.
A motion to postpone tlie bill indefinitely will be
made next week, but according to the present ap
pearance, will fail. The House will commence ac
tion upon the California bill, nud the various amend,
ments to the same, on Tuesday next.
After this vexed question slinil bedisposed of. Con
gress will very rapidly dispose of every tiling else,
and may be ready to adjourn early in August.
Tlie President's original orders, in relation to Cu
ban affairs, was that the naval force should intercept
the expedition for Cuba, prevent the invaders from
landing, nud bring them back to tlie United States for
trinl.
The orders since given tiro to demand of the Cuban
government the surrender of tile prisoners taken in
neutral territory, nnd on the high sea', for the pur
pose of having them tried by our laws. Tlie men
taken on neutral ground had abandoned the enterprize
}tew York, June 7, 1850. Three officers of the late
Cuba expedition have arrived in this city, and with
two other agents here, are projecting plans for an
other attempt to liberate Cuba. Many of the troops
that landed at Cardenas are now in New Orleans still
organized and recruiting, in expectation of the prop
er moment soon arriving. General Lop- z has been
superseded in his command, and his successor, it is
siud, will lie on American.
Destitution in Scotland. A distressing picture is
given in a recent rpport of the amount of destitution in
Scotland. Over one thousand persons reside in
Glasgow, by.any oneot whom the large.-t amount
earned in one week, was six shillings, while many of
them earned only sixpence, and the most of them
from one to three shilling*.—- 1 The places in which
they lived are stated to be of the worst description-
Cattle Killed by lightning. The Springfield Re
publican says that live • young cattle, partly foreign
Wood, were! killed by lightning on Monday morning

From Ifnvnna.
The steamer Isabel arrived from Havana on Mon
day night at 12 o'clock. Her dates are to the 8th inst,
but she brings very little news that ha9 not reached
us by other sources. The Havana papers received
by the Republican give the following items :
The merchants of Havana were about getting up
a subscription to construct fourteen small wur steam
ers to protect the coasts ol' the Island, each one to
cost nhuut $40,000.
About $4,000 hud been subscribed in Matanzns for
the relief of the families of those Spaniards who fell
at Cardenas.
Don Juan P. Barrera and Don Francisco J. de la
Cruz, twocitizens of Mntunzas, had been condemned
to ten years’ imprisonment in Africa for be.ng con
cerned iu tlie independence movement.
The Faro Industrial and other papers are copying
and commenting upon tlie articles relating to the in
vasion, of several American journals.
Ill the Gacetn de la Habana are numerous letters
from the different parts of tlie Island, congratulating
the Captain General on his victory over “ the pi
rates."
The U. S. steamer Saranac sailed from Havana on
tlie 7th inst.
From some cause we are without our usual letters
from our attentive Havana correspondent. A friend,
however, who came passenger in ihe Isabel from Ha
vana, informs us that very little has transpired ofin-
terest in that city during the past week or ten days
All the movements of the governmentare conducted
with great secrecy, and but little confidence is placed
in tlie reports put out from time to time for effect by
the officials. It is the opinion of the Americans in
Havana that the government is only deterred by fear
of our cruisers f rom putting the men illegally cap
tured on board the Georgiana and Susan Loud to
death. Our informant says that no one is allowed to
see them or communicate with them, and that our
Consul, Gen. Campbell, is treated very cavalierly by
the Captain General and his subordinates. It is said
that the number of prisoners is not so great as wns
at first reported. Forty-four are all that are now con
fined in tlie prison at Havana. Of this number tlie
majority are said to be foreigners. It is also given
out by the Spanish authorities that it is the intention
to release all hut the Cnptnins of the two vessels,
who are to be executed. No confidence, however, is
putin this statement, which is supposed to be for the
purpose of lulling the vigilance of the U. S. officers-
The feeling of tlie government is extremely hostile to
the Yankees, and it is believed that any clemency that
may be exercised will be attributable to their fears
rather than their forbearance, 1
Tlie Governor of Cardenas, who was released on
his parole of honor by Lopez, under the assurance
that he would see that no harm came to the men left
nt that place, was tried at Havana, nnd dismissed from
his office. Our friend did not know for what offence
he was arrested—it was certainly not for the observ
ance of his pledge of honor. A new Governor lias
been appointed in his steud, and a large military lorce
stationed at Cardenas.
The Georgiana and the Susan Loud, which had
been teken into n little out of the way port called
Murid, to keep them out of the way of our vessels of
war, arrived at Havana on Thursday morning last,
and are strongly guarded. These vessels were cap
tured while under American colors, out of the juris
diction of the Spanish authorities, and with regular
eleuruuces from the Custom House nt New Orleans,
for Chagres. Being uuurmed they fell easy prizes to
Spanish valor, which is now reluctant to surrender
them. Our friend, who was at Cardenas two days af
ter the nft'air at that place, ami who gave us many in
teresting details of Lopez's operations, says that the
number of his killed nnd wounded was 2-’, of whom
8 were killed, or liuvc since died ot their wounds.
The Spaniards lost 15 killed and 15 wounded.
Our informant snys that it is the opinion on tlie
Island thut if Lotez had reached Matanzas, the expe
dition would have been successful. A large majority
of the people nt that pluce were ready to join him,
nnd so soon as it was known that tlie revolutionists
had made a stand, thousands would have flocked to
join them. The feeling on the part of the citizens,
both at Matanzas and Cardenas was strongly in favor
of Lopez and his cause, but such is the strict serveil-
ance of the government that the strictest caution is
observed in giving expression to political opinions.
It is said that Lopez expected to find a large gar
rison of soldiers nt Curdenns, known to be favorable to
the Csriists, and who would promptly join his stan-
datfl, but unfortunntely for him, tho Cholera having
made its appearance in tlie garrison only a short time
before, the main body of tlie troops were removed to
tlie interior, leaving only some fifty or n hundred
soldiers iu the place and vicinity, about half of whom
joined him, desperate ns were the chances ot hissuc-
reprieved lor having assisted a wounded soldier.
When told they were to be shot, they asked tor pen
and paper, that they might write to their friends of
their fate. This wns refused them. Ono of thorn
wns a fine looking young fellow, about eighteen years
old. His nattic wns George Wnliier, sou of Allison
Warner, of Evansville, Indiana. He “protested his
innocence, appealed to his passport for,Chagres, said
lie had been forced to come with them, that lie had
left them ns soon as he could get (to shore—hut it wus
of no avtill. ■
Defence op Mb. Calhoun. Mr. Woodwnrd, ono
of the representatives in Congress from South Caro
lina, publishes a letter in the Republic, In order, ns
hennys, to “correct a prevalent irtisconccption” ns to
Mr. Calhoun's suggested “amendment of tho consti
tution, as indispensable to the safety of tlie South, in
the Union." He denies that Mr. C. contended for
“the preservation or restoration of what they term
the balance between the North and the South,” but al
leging Chat this equilibrium no longer existed, or could
not exist much longer, he declnred it to bo indispen
sable to tho safety of tho South that some otWguar-
imtry should be provided. Mr. Woodward adds:
What was the provision Mr. Calhoun had in view,
I shall not Pike iton myself to state. Tho world will
shortly know through a much more authentic medi
um than my pen. My purpose has been to show what
he did not-Glean, and this, I submit, bus been satisfac
torily done. I trust, therefore, that we shall hear no
thing more, whether from ignorance or dishonesty,
about the “fanciful idea" ot preserving the equilib
rium of southern nnd northern States; or of the “cry
ing injustice” of restricting the northern population
to an even ratio of incrense witli the southern.
One thing, however, it is proper to add : Mr. Cal
houn thought that the South owed it to their snfety
to oppose the admission into the Union of any more
frpe States, with a view to maintain tho equilibrium
as nearly as possible until such an amendment of the
constitution as lie contemplated should be made.
or Tlie following letter of instructions from Mr.
Clayton to our consul at Havana will show the
course which the Government nt Washington designs
pursuing in relation to the illegal nrrest and impris
onment of American citizens by the Spanish authori
ties. It also accounts for delay ot the Captain Gen
eral in putting his threats in execution against the
prisoners in his possession.
Department of State, )
, Washington, June, 1850, j
The Secretary of State to Mr. Campbell, Consul at Ha
vana.
[Mr. Clayton instructs Mr. Campbell to impress
upon the Count of Alcoy, tile distinction between
prisoners who have committed a crime, and those
captured under tlie appearance of an intention to com
mit a crime.]
‘•The President menus to claim, for the American oc
cupants of the Mexican island, that they are not guil
ty oi any crime, for which, by the law of civilized
nations, they should suffer death. They may have
been, and probably were, guilty of crimes, for which
this government ought, in good faith, to punish them
under the act of Congress of April20,1818. But sup
posing the facts relating to their capture to be as they
are represented to us, the President hns resolved that,
the eagle must and shnll protect them against any
punishment but that which the tribunals oi their own
nation may award.
“ Tell the Count of Alcoy to send them home to en
counter a punishment, which if they are honorable
men, will be worse than any lie could inflict, in the in
dignant frowns and denunciations of good men in
their own country, for an attempt to violute the faith

amount of funds, to aid in tlie purchase of territory
and wlrch we have turned to good account. We have
just purchased three tracts of country in the neigh-
hood of Gallinas, and paid the first instalment 1 am
now about to visit Gnllinas myself, to conclude the
purchase of that famous spot and two other tracts,
which will give us all the territory lying between our
present Northwest boundary line and the Bar; and
which will enable us to extirpate, effectually, the slave
trade from the whole Windward Coast. For Gall!
nas we shall have to pay several thousand dollars
therefore, we look with deep concern for assistance
from Mr. McLain, by the return pucket."
Tiie Forrest Divorce Case. An nttempt has
recently been made to settle this affair privately ; but
tlie negotiations having failed, Mr. Forrest lias com
mened a siiit in one of tlie courts of Philadelphia.
George M. Dallas and Josiali Randall, Esqrs., have
been retained as Mr. Forrest's counsel." ,
The American Navy.—It appears by a table in the
New York Tribune, that there are in the Navy 63 Cap
tains nnd 97 Commanders. Of tlie former, 22 are on
duty, and 46 not on duty. Of the latter class 42 are
oil duty, and 55 not on duty. The aggregate salaries
of the unemployed Captains nmount to $116,900; and
ol the Commanders, $99,000.
Things at Van Diman's Land.—Hobart Town jour
nals to the 25th of January supply n few items of in
telligence from that distant colony. The Commis
sariat had.received instructions to furnish such a scale
of allowance ns Mr. O’Brien’s previous p .sition and
treatment entitled him to. O'Donoghue had started a
paper which was progressing satisfactorily, nnd prom
ised to afford the unfortunate gentleman the means of
obtaining a repntublelivelibood. Further coal discov
eries ure announced.
Cholera at the West.—Four deaths by cholera
occurred Inst week, at Bedford, Harrison county, In
diana.
At Columbia, Ky., on the 28th ult.. four persons
were beyond recovery, with supposed cholera.
TheCoriydon (la.) Gazette, of the ‘29th announ
ces six deaths in the county, -he week previous, by
cholera. They had been camping out nnd living upon
fresh fish.
Population of Q®.—By the return lately made to
the Constitutional Convention of Ohio, by the Secre
tary of State, it appears that by theccpsusof 1840,
the State contgined 1,502,114 whites, and 17,353 col
ored persous-i-totnl, 1,519.567. ,

Our informant says tliut it was reported at Key
West by the passengers of the Fanny, which arrived
therefrom New Orlenns on Friday, that a most deci
ded demonstration in favor of Gen. Lopez had tak
en place at that place, his friends protesting against
any attempt on the part of the U. S. authorities to
arrest him. A public diuner was given to him nt the
St. Charles, on which tiie Cuban flag wns displayed.
Gen. Gonzales, nephew of Gen. Lopez, Maj. O’
Hara, oi Ky., Maj. Hawkins, Col. Pickett, and Capt.
Lewis of tlie Creole, had been arrested by the U. S.
Dist. Attorney at Key West, and were to be taken to
N. O. for trial. They will' be as safe there as at New
York-
Nearly all of the men brought to Key West by tlie
Creole have left the Island. The Spanish soldiers
who joined the expedition nt Cardenas are still there.
The Key West correspondent of the Republi
can, gives the following account of the brutal exe
cution of tiie Cardenas prisoners. The writer says :
Five of tlie expedition, two Irishmen, a Scotchman,
an Englishman and an American, a boy sixteen years
of age, were shot at Matanzas a few days sipee, Tlie
execution of tiie boy is described to have betn hor
rible. Tlie first platoon fired without hittipg him, tlie
second brought him tohis knees, the third, by order
of theofficer, put their muskets to his head and blew
it to pieces. These five are all we hear of being cap
tured, of those left behind at Cardenas, though there
were twenty or thirty of them. It is supposed tho
others have escaped to the country.
The Havana correspondent of the Charleston Mer
cury speukingof thosir executions says:
The men hud deserted from the Creole in tho mor
ning, and applied to tlie American Consul there for
protection. He told them he could do nothing lor
| them. They were taken to Matanzas. and four of
| them, wirhouttvon the form of a trial, without lieten-
| ing to tneir protestation-!, were shot. Tbs: fifth was
Money Found. The Trenton State Gazette says
that a girl employed in tile paper mill of Duer, Mein
& Cay, in that city, found among the rags, a note
of the denomination of $3001), on one of the Vicks
burg banks. We understand that the note has been
pronounced genuine by competent judges. How
ever found its way among a lot of rugs to the paper
mill is a mystery. So far all is well
man expectation I the bank bus been broken for some
years.
The Ohio Legislature, among other laws, have
passed one changing tlie names of the county poor
houses to "county infirmaries." The Boston Tran
script suggests that it would be well to change the
ugly name of prisons to “retreats for gentlemen com
muuists.”
PhivateCaltfornia Advices.—The N. York let
ter of Thursday to the Pennsylvanian, says:
“The private letters from St. Francisco speak not so
favorably, as tlie printed accounts, of business pros-
f loots there. Gold is said to lie as abundant as ever,
lowever, but is is harder to be procured than it wns
six months ago. A letter from a house doing a large
commission business ntSt. Francisco, says, ‘all kinds
of goods were hard to sell, save only nt prices below
tlie original cost.’ 1 give you this for what it is
worth. It is certainly tar from agreeing with the
newspapers.”

Havana 7th June, 1850.—We beg reference to our 1
Repoi t of 21st May. Tlie excitement caused by tlie
circumstances to which we then referred, did not af
fect our SUGAR market. A very active onquirv ha9
been maintained during the past few weeks fur all
descriptions, and prices buve somewhat advanced,
particularly for whites, of which the quantity brought
forward is not’adequate to meet the demand for
Ruesia. We quote Whites, 91 a 10 rials; fine raid
choice Whites, lOj a 11 rials; Y’ellows.6 a6$ rials;
superior 'Yellows, 7 a 7 j rials; Browns, 5] a 5} rials. '
Muscpvndos are nt41 a 5 rials for, ordinary to mid
dling, the better kinds nre worth 5J rials and very I
scarce. Therein very little Ilhd. Sugar left lor sale * I
on either side of the Island.
The weather has lately been showery. There are
but few estates which are still grinding, and they mil
soon finish. The total result will shew a considers-
ble falling oft' from the estimates originally made, and
we have further advicea from the South Bide confirm
ing tho report of a large deficiency iu the production
there as compared with previous expectations.
The last transactions in MOLASSES were at 1( '

snys:
—The dispersion and flight of the adventurers
who landed ut Cardenas, followed immediately upon
ourlast udvtces. Tlie excitement which those inci
dents occasioned, has gradually been nssuaged, and
we may hope tlint the course ot business generally
will soon entirely recover from the interruption
which it received, purtieulurly in the import trade.—
There has not yet been any Decree removing the
Blockade, ill which the Island was placed by our Gov
ernment. but merchant vessels are not subjected to
any inconvenience whatever.
There are not many cases of Cholera in tlie city,
but the diset.se has manifested, itself in some parts ot
the interior, and we are sorry to say it hns broken out
on several plantations, witli considerable mortality.
The period of the y*ir, being commencement of the
rainy season, is unfavorable to give it immediate
check. v-
