Correspondence of the Daily Morning News.
HAVANA, Dec. 21,1850.
W. T. Thompson, Esq:
Dear Sir i — We annex our printed report as
usual, and beg to add a few remarks thereto.
Since Its publication the cargo per “Adela"from
Charleston, liaa been sold a 10Jr., und that which the
ateamrr •‘Isabel" brought viz : 143 ca-ks, 39 half do.
and 125 bags,at JOir. leaving no Carolina riceon hand
and only somo Brazil and 1000 qtls. Manilla, received
by way of Cadiz. But dealers havo a large quantity
in their stores, and are therefore well supplied for the
present.
The Change in our dtit’es, to which we made allu
sion a short time ago, will take place as we reported.
There 1 will bo an increase of 1} per cent, on the per
eentage charged on all imports, commencing on 1st
February, from North America, and 1 per cent from
South ^morlae. Europe, &o. On Spanish imports
there will be an addition of 1 per cent
The alteration in the export duty begins on the 1st
of next month, and comprises an increase of 4r. per
box on Sugar ; 2r. per qql. on Tobacco; 2r. per M on
Segars. The Balanza being reckoned on the aggre
gate duties. This alteration will remain in force two
years. v ..
A few boxes new Sugars have come in and been
told at 7 a 7fr. for Ord. Yellow ; and 7|r. has been
refused for a few boxes Fair Yellow.
We are, dear sir, your ob't servant:
J. C.B. *CO
P. S.-We hear that the cholera has broken out
on one of the sugar estates in Sagua la Grande, but
do not know to what extent.
ty The Annual Drawing of the American Art
Union took place at Tripler Hall, in New York, on
Tuesday last. We find the following among the list
of prize*:
Middle Ages, S P. Bell, Savannah, Ga.

ESP" We have neither time nor inclination to con
tinue the unprofitable controversy with the Republi
can. Indeed,after his lame attempt to escape from the
ridiculous dilemma in which he wqs placed by our
article cm Tuesday,it would be next to cruel inuslo
pursue him farther. '‘Wolf," as he calls us, we have
no desire to wound aprostrate “lamb,” and especial
ly In these holiday times, when we desire to culti
vate kindly feelings towards friends end enemies,
we cannot find it in our heart to treat with severity
our pantaloon cotemporary, whose position excites
our commisseratlon rather than our enmity.
The editor’s last article was about as harmless n pro
duction as everemanated from his pen, and but for his
voluntary eflort to make the “community” a party to
Ida quarrel with us, we should not have deigned a re
ply. While we hold ourself ready and able to meet the
attacks oftheeditorofthe Republican, we do not con
sider the Morning News exactly a match tor the en
tire community, and we think it rather ungenerous
In our •• established" cotemporary to endeavor to
enlist the entire population against us. It' he hns, as
he pretends, o higher estimate of the " intelligence of
the community" than ourself, lie has a very remarka
ble way of exnibiting it, when ho attempts to flatter
them, by tolliog them of their "old fashioned sim
plicity” and “good breeding”, into an espousal of his
quarrel with acotemporary,of whose merits anil char
acter they are quite as capable ot judging as himsell.
The editor arrays against us the “whole communi
ty.” Now, as he has such an instinctive horror of
“ gross misstatements,” we will merely ask if he
cannot make some little abatement of thin charge i
Would it not be as well to qualify by baying a por
tion ot the community 7 We flatter ourself that wc
have some friends in Savannah, and if our subscip-
tion list is any indication of the fact, that we havo
quite as many as the Republican.
The editor reminds U9 of the Indisn chief who
went to New York. He was big “Ingiu, heap,” and
although drunk from the day ho entered the city
until he left It, he never relaxed his dignity, and had
not th slightest suspicion ot the fact. When lie re
turned to the nation hie people were anxious to know
something about New York. One asked what kind
of a place it was. To which he replied. “Eh’ hem I
New York—lib town—toder side—white man too
much I" Another asked how the people were in
New York “Eh’ hem I"—said the chief “people ail
drunk " So it is with the editor of the Republican.
Being strongly prejudiced against the Morning News,
be thinks the “whole community” share iu his opin
ions.
Theeditorfurthel charges ns with beingthe “laugh
ing stock of thecommunity.” He seems to be afflict
ed with a peculiar obliquity of comprehension. He
has made the disc jvery that the community are in a
good humor—that their risibilities have beenexcited.
but has committed the ridiculous and characteristic
blunder of supposing that they are laughing at his
Harlequin,” instead our "Pnntaloon"and his “Cake.”
But we are not without hopes for the editor's iin
provement and reformatio!:. In his last article he ex
cuses himself for the unprovoked attack made upon
us, on the ground that he felt it a duty which he
owed to the public “ to expose his (our) ridiculously
absurd pretensions.” Having succeeded in showing
up himself instead of us, he will perhaps profit by the
lesson, and for the future, allow that community, for
whose "old fashioned simplicity” and “good breed
ing” he professes so much disinterested regard, to
place their own estimate on the character and “pre
tensions'’ of his cotempornries.
8TEAM30AT DtsASTERt—The steamer South
America took fire, near Bayou Sara, on the night of
the 19th inst, and in less than twenty minutes, was
totally destroyed. She had on board two hundred
persons, including one hundred United States sol
diers, seven oi whom perished, who were going to
Texas. It ia believed that between thirty and forty
passengers lost their lives. All the baggage belong
ing to the passengers was destroyed
The etesmoeFashion, No. 2 collapsed a flue, a short
idistance above Pittsburgh, on the Monongahcla river
on the 21st inst, and so severely scalded many of tlio
passengers amferew that five of them instantly died.
The forward part of the cabin was blown overboard,
anq it is supposed that several persons were car
ried along.
The News by the Africn.
The threatened war in Germany, from the current
reports, seems to havo been stayod for the pre
sent, and, aa a matter of course, tho influence of
the amicable news was almost instantly experienced
in the various markets.
The scarcity of silver continues to attract consid
able attention, and bas caused a still further rise in
the precious metal. The money market, generally,
had also greatly improved.
Cotton, it appears, has been acted upon by the
pacific news from “Fsderiand," and large transac
tions were being entered into.
With regard to Germanic affairs, thern seems to
be considerable doubt. The Liverpool Times of the
7th. remarks that “the uncertainty whetii er there is
to be peace or war is aa great as ever, and the ordera
for the armaments on both sides have not been sus
pended. - v’i , i*
The “ Papal Aggressions," as the recent Catholic
movements in England are called, still excite some
degr e of attention. However, tins reflecting and
sensibl • portiou of the people are beginning to view
the matter in a more Christian-like spirit, and it is to
be hoped that, by the arrival ot the next steamer, we
shall receive the gratifying information that all creeds
'are allowed to worship after their own fashion.
From France the news is not very important, aa all
political interests are bound up in the German quur-
rel. The Legislative Assembly has declared its neu
trality, and in ench a tone aa t o enforce a strict obedi
ence to its mandates.
Choleba in Jamaica.—TJie Kingston papers re.
reived by the Cherokee., contain the moet nppuUing,
accounts of the ravages of the cholera in that vicini-
aome places all the cases proved fatal, the

Slave Case In Philadelphia—Great Excite
ment,
Philadelphia, Dec. 21, 1850.—About noon to-day,
considerable expitement was caused in this city by
the arrest of Adam Gibson, a colored man, on a nom
inal charge of stealing chickens, hut really as a fugi
tive slave belonging to Win. Knight, of Cecil county
Maryland. He was taken to the U. S. Marshal’s office,
and a hearing shortly after took place before Ed
ward D. Ingraham-. Esq , Commissioner .
After several ineffectual motions to postpone the
case made by David Paul Brown, and Messrs Pierce
and Hurbest, the evidence of the claim was gone into
and the identity of the negro was proven by one wit
ness, who saw him on tne farm or William Stark, in
1841. He was claimed as Emory Rice, who ran
away in 1841, and is now said to be 36 years old.
The prisoner’s counsel contended that his true
name is Adam Gibson, formerly owned by Parson
Henry Davis, but liberated by the liiet will of his own-
er.in 1840. onoondition of emigrating to Liberia—
This statement was attempted to be proved by a cer
tified copy of tho will.
Tho chso was argued by William E. Lehman, for
the claimant, and Messrs. Pierce and Brown for the
defence.
At the close of tho argument, the Commissioner He
dared thatall the formalities required by the law had
been fulfilled, and being satiettedot the fugitive's
identity, he ordered him to be remanded for the pur
pose of being placed in the possession of his owner.
Alarge crowd of colored people congregated in
front ot Independence Hall, where the case was
heard, ond they still continued there at a late hour;
but the fugitive had been removed by the back way
and will go South by the mail train this evening.
Disgraceful Proceedings in Illinois—Almost
n liiot.
Peoria, Ill. Dec. 19,1850.
Our city wn3 again thrown into much excitement
to-day. The execution of Brown and Williums for
the murder of Mr. Hewett was to have taken place
yesterday but by an order from the Governor, re
ceived on Wednesday, it was extended to the fifteenth
of January next.
This not being generally known nor credited, large
masses of people of this and adjoining counties, as
sembled to witness tho execution, and being disap
pointed in their expectations, a portion of them re
solved that the persons should be executed forthwith,
and urged on by exciting speeches, they got posses
sion ot the scaffold from the jail yard, and erected it
in the street, in front of the jail. They then ef
fected an entrance by jerking the doors and locks:
and proceeded with crowbars, scantling and other
implements, to the cells, where they met with resis
tance from Bruwn, who, although shackled, as soon as
the cells wereopened, stepped into the hall, disarmed
afew of the mobbers, by taking from them the crow
bars end scantling, bar ed his cell on the inside, and
defied them. Ho broke the scantling over the mobbers
and gave them other striking illustrations of his en
tire disapprovalof such unlawful proceedings. The
prisoners were again secured in the cells, and before
dark the crowd dispersed.
Thus resulted, what at first all supposed would bo
a most tragical and disgracelul affair. The mob fell
back, and a tew of our citizens dropping in at this
juncture, prevent dfurther violence.
The News fbom California.—'The details in the
Northern papers of tho news trom California
brought by the Cherokee; fully corobornte our tele
graphic accounts published on Saturday last. The
cholera had been very fatal In Shii Francisco nnd
Sacramento, but was visibly abating in these locali
ties, while it was extending its ravages in the line-
rior. Private letters received in New York, give
less favorable accounts of the rnvageaaof the epidem
ic. It was feared that it would be very fatal in the
mines. There was .much destitution and want in
the country, which it was feared would increase
the mortality. Business was very dull, in con
sequence of “ the immense mortality,” so says the
Alta Californian of the 15'U ult. Gold continued
plenty but fortunes arc no longer to bo picked up in
a few months
Confession of Robbery and Murdbr.-TIio Ha
gerstown (Md.) Hews bus received a pnmphlet, par-
porting to be the confession of one Charles Wallace,
which gives an account of tho robbery of Mr. 'ohn
Funk nt Hagerstown, several years ago, committed
by himself and an accomplice, named Snelling. This
conlesBion wus written by Wallace, ns he says, from
memory, nnd given by him to tho Rev. Henry Tracy
nt the stake where he was burned alive by a mob on
the banks of the Mississippi, on tho 11th of August,
1850. He confesses to the murder of Miss Mary
Rogers, tho beantiful cigar girl of New York, and
a number of robberies nnd other crimes.
Release of Wm. L. Chaplin, the Slave Ab
ductor. — Tho Washington Republic of Saturduy
has tho following:
The end of the\Chaplin Case.—Mr. Chaplin was, on
Thursday, liberated from the jail of Montgomery
county, @19,1100 bail having been entered for his ap
pearance Ht Howard District Court. Bail to the
amount of 0,000 had been give in this District. He
passed through Bultimore, on Thursday, on hts re
turn home.
Tho Baltimore Sun says—
The facts in this case we learn are, that Chaplin
was brought down from Rockville last Thursday .un
der writ of habeas corpus, and taken before Judge
Brewer at his chambers in Annapolis, where Geo. B.-
Williums, ot Baltimore, appeared with him as ore ot
his counsel und gave the required bail as above stnt
ed. It is said that Garrett Smith paid five thousand
dollars of th ■ bidl. This has probably saved Chhpliti
from the penitentiary, as it is thought ho wilt hard
ly appear for trial.
We hope tho illustrious tiegro thief is well satis
fied with his adventure. His admirers will now have
an opportunity of manifesting their appreciation of
his heroism. We believe he has been already nom
inated for tbn Presidency. He may consolo himself
with the reflection that he has contributed as mucii
as any other single individual out of Congress to
secure the enactment of the Fugitive Slave Law.
A great Union demonstration took place at
Bridgeport, Conn, on Friday evening, with out distinc
tion of party embracing fully two-thirds of tho voters.
They gave strong utterance to their sentiments in
favor of the Union, the costitution and the laws.—
Bridgeport is tho first piaoe iu the land of “Steady
Habits,” that has thus spoken out. The meeting was
presided over by the mayor, anil letters were read
from Hon. Daniel Webster, and/Senators Cass,
and Foote and Dickinson. Each of them expressed
ardent sympathy with the object of the meeting.
The Ohio Legislature is occupying its time
in casting unsuccessful ballots for a United States
Senator in tne place of Thomas Ewing, whose term
expires in March next. The chances of an election
during tliepresent session are very slim. The Leg

Massachusetts Senato/on of tho Baltimore
Sun, writing trom Washington, says:—
The information received here, to day, in letters
from Boston, goes to show that the democrats and
free soilers have effected a league, or certainly will
effect one, ami that the election of a free-soiler to
the U. S. Se-ato wiU b t the result. It was thought,
a whil - ago, that the national whigs would combine
with tlie sound portion of the democrats in the Legis
lature and elect a national democrat. But there are
few national whigs, and two thirds of the democrats
are under free-soil trammels. Only thee democratic
papers in the whole State are sound.
Difficulty with Austkia.—It is rumored in
Washington that there is a prospect of a repulse be.
tween our government and Austria. Mr. McCurdy,
the newly appointed charge to Austria, is still in
Washington, awaiting orders. Mr. HuLSEMANN.the
Charge from Austria, it is also said, acta as if there
was mischief brewing. Independently otthese inti
mations, we have similar hints from other quarters-
Rumor sajra there it a flare up between the Atneri'
con Secretary of State and Mr. Hulse ann; that the
latter has been demeaning himself discourteously, in
consequence ofthe kind treatment we have given the
Hungarian refugees, officially and unofficially: that
therefore, Mr. McCubOY will not bo instructed to go
out of tho country until Mr. Hulsbmann renders
something of an apology for bard and harsh words;
and that these are the causes of tho delay.
