VENICE.
Without the sun, Venice appears like a shad
ow, but with the sun like a bride. I he build
ings of the city arc painted when built, mid sel
dom, if ever, afterward. The edifices have a sea-
worn appearance, and like that of vessels that
have been a long time out of port. The houses
have a land and a water entrance. It a house
needs repairs on the canal side, a boat is hauled
alongside with a staging, and the building re
paired in the same way as a ship. 'I hero is no
dust in Venice. Crickets ure sold in tiny cages.
It is amusing to go into the stores of an evening
and hour a cricket concert. Beer shops are nu
merous ; they have a small bundle ol fresh sha
vings hung over the door, to signify what they
sell. Perhaps shavings may serve us a good
emblem of foaming beer.
One of the bridges is styled “Ponte di donna
onesto,” (bridge of the honest woman.) Paint
ings of the Virgin Mary appear everywhere.—
Those upon the byways and corners arc much
tattered from time and exposure. In some cases
a friendly female baud has intervened and sowed
up the rents in the canvuss. The house of Gol
doni, the eminent comic writer, is shunted in a
very narrow street; the house is very high, and
shows a marble tablet over the door, which
reads thus: “AN, MDCCVIl. Cumins Goldo
nus hie ortum hubuit; plaudentibus munis.”—
In the year 1707 Charles Goldoni hud here his
birth; approved of the muses
that the toes, and sometimes half of the feet, ore
kissed off. In the church of tho “ Fran, afteJ*
the service of the mass, as the priest was retiring
to the vestry, some little children ran after him,
touched the Iiem of his garment with thoirhuuds,
and then kissed them. ..

dispatch, r
Jefited to our contemporaries of the
and Georgian, for the following
civ oil by them last evening :—
New Orleans, Sept. 4.
The steamship Cherokee, from Hnvaim, lms
arrived and is coming up. A dispatch to the
New Orleans Picayune says, that Gen. Lopez
was captured and executed in Havana, on the
first instant. One hundred and fifty-five prison
ers, mostly Americans, are. in possession of tho
Spanish Government. All who left in the
Pampero were killed or made prisoners. The
insurgents still hold possession of the mountains
near Principe.
11 o’clock, P. M.
Our own dispatch lias just come to hund,
confirming the above melancholy tidings. It
states that Gen. Lopez was gnroted at Havana
on the 1st inst., and that all the Americans who
belonged in the expedition who left in tho Pam
pero, were killed or taken prisoners. It also
states that La horde, the Spanish Consul, at
New Orleans, was in Huvann.
Oppressed us we are by this disastrous news,
we indulge the hope that it is not true. We
cannot believe until we have better evidence of
the fact that Gen. Lopez would have allowed
himself to fall into the hands of his merciless
enemies.

Spanish News—Lope* the Greatest Here
of all Ages!
The following dispatch appeared in thei Geor
gian and Republican of yesterday. In the
Georgian it was eery properly accompanied by
a note from the Editors, expressing their utter
disbelief of the statement in regard to General
Lopez:
Washington, Sept. 3.—Official dispatches
havo been received by tho Government that
Lopez, on the 25th, still held out aggjnst the
Spanish troops, with his forco greatly reduced—
that it does not appear that any Creoles had
joined him. The Spanish government had offered
n reward for him, and pardon for hia followers.
The President line dismissed the Collector of
Now Orleans, and appointed a substitute iu Iris
place. The other officers at New Orleans arc
informed that they will bo dismissed if they ne
glect their duty. Orders have bcou given to in
tercept the Pampero, and other vessels with in
vading forces for Cuba. Stringent and precise
orders are renewed to all officers to suppress il
legal expeditions ; and particular efforts are or
dered to suppress new expeditions in Now Or
leans.
So far ns the efforts of the Government are
directed towards the preservation of the .national
neutrality by the employment of the proper
means for that purpose, we have no right to ob
ject, though wo could wish that all laws and
treaties which stand in the way of un effective
demonstration of the sympathy of the American
people with die patriots of Cuba were repealed
nnd abrogated. Tlie Govermont lias a prescribed
duty to perform, and so long as it does not trans
cend tire limits of its powers, or employ unau
thorized means in die discharge of thut duty,
its action must be sustained. But while the
friends of Cuba in the United States keep with
in the law, it will he impolitic for the Govern
ment to be too zealous or too active in its efforts
to protect the Spanish authorities in Cubn. Tbe
('resident thut refused to remove the Marshal of
Boston for permitting if he did not countenance
all open violation of the laws of the country by
the mob of that city, should not be too prompt
in dismissing Southern Collectors for their in
ability to prevent the emigration of Americans
to Cuba. Neither is it exactly in accordance
with the spirit of unr institutions to muko active
devotion to tlie interests of a foreign monarchy
tin. condition upon which American officers arc
to lie allowed to hold their appointments.
But tho greatest piece of absurdity thut bus
fallen under our notice, among all tho exugge
rated mid ridiculous aocounts from Cuba, is that
contained in die first sentence of the ubovc dis
patch, and wo confess our utter astonishment
that die Government should give publicity to so
preposterous, so ridiculous a statement. Here
we are gravely told, that “ General Lofez still
holds out against the Spanish troops, with his
force greutly reduced.” This, according to tlie
dispatch, wus on the 25th ult., thirteen days utter
his landing on '.lie islnnd. Now wo confess lhat
we have u very high opinion of Gen. Lopez, ns
a brave nnd skilful General, bur we are not dis
poser! to believe him cupublo of miracles. He
is reported, by the Spanish accounts, to ltuve
landed on tho Isluud with 400 men. Immedi
ately after his lauding lie lost Crittenden’s com
mand of 114 men, leaving him only 286. We
huve accountsjof three butties fought by him, in
Inch he must havo lost some of his men, and
yet we ure told thut ho bus received no acces
sions from tlie Cubuns, und thut witlt greatly
reduced force lie still holds out against the im
mense Spanish army which lias been brought
against him. Why, the history of the world
does not show such u remarkable instance of
heroism and successful generalship. The brave
ry of Leonidas and his Spartan hand is cclpsed
are to believe tlie Spanish accounts sent
forth by the Government) by that of Lotez nnd
his handful of Americans. Leonidas defended
the pass of Thermopylie against immense odds,
and history lius immortalized them for their
heroism. But Lofez, nnd his two liuudrcd
Americans, has defended himself iu tlie open
plain, in tlie heart of un enemy's country, for
thirteen days, ugninst some five thousand of tlie
picked troops of Spain. We confess this news
staggers our credulity.
Mare of tho lute Storm In Florid*.
When we wont to press last week, the 23d,
we mentioned that a storm was raging which
threatened to be very disastrous. It grew to
be even more disastrous than we anticipated.
Such a one has not been felt here within the
memory of man. Neither that of 1843, which
destroyed Post Leon, nor til. one of 1837, wan
so violont and terrible. It lasted from an early
hour of tho morning on Saturday, till near the
dawn on Sunday—at first the wind blowing in
squalls more or less frequent from tho EaBt, then
about noon, Saturday, going round Southward,
and increasing in violence and long-continued
blasts till it roso to a furious gale, which was
shout its worst at 2 o’clock next morning, and
after tlmt gradually abating till daylight. It
was. raining nearly all the while ingreut torrents.
Trees of all sorts aud sizes were oroken down
or lorn from their roots, und those that remained
were rudely stripped of many of their limbs and
much of their foliage. Houses were unroofed,
some blown down, und others greatly injured,
and fences generally, in whole or in port, wero
thrown to the eorlfi. Altogether, the scene as
it presented itself here on Sunday morning was
a vast chaos of destruction and of entangled
streets and yards.
Tlie tin roofing of tlie Capitol was torn off, a
window blown in, much of (lie glass broken, und
several of tho rooms drenched with water—but
the books and archives were very little injured.

The Next Presidency.—It has been sug
gosted, says the Baltimore Clipper, that Gen’l
Samuel Houston will probably bo the cuudi'
date of tho frce-soilers for tho next Presidency
and that an effort will bo mude to procure his no
minution by the Democratic Nutiouul Conven
tion. We do not believe that General Houston
will conseut to occupy the ground assigned to
him by somo letter writers, for he lias too much
good sense not to know, that, by becoming the
frcC'Soil eondidutc, even if his friends could
succeed in having him nominated by the Demo

The project of erecting a monument in honor
of the Americans massacred ftt Havana is seri
ously entertained in New York, and the Sun

smashed in. The Livery Stables, the stores on
McMullen’s corner, Mr. R. Hayward’s new
stores, tbe new stores of Walker & Shine, and
probubly others, were unroofed. The Hoe build
ing, formerly occupied for the Floridian oflice,
partly unroofed and much injured. The Murket
House prostrated. Many other houses sustuin-

goods were wet from leaking—in some of them
badly so. We have beard of no dwelling-house

llcmnrknble Coincidence of Opinions.
The London Times lms an article suggest
ed hy tho present state of uffuirs in Cuba, nnd
speculating upon the possibility of indepen
dence :
“ Tlie Times thinks thut if tlie revolution
seriously contemplated the amelioration ol both
classes in boudugc, the Creoles nnd blacks,
there would he less cuuse for remonstrance, but
it fears the rights and wrongs of the slaves form
no port of the schomo of conquest. Tho Times
regards tlie almost American totality of parties
to the liberating expeditions—tlie great majority
of them from the slave states—ns satisfactory
proof that the freedom proposed for Culm only
means freedom of the Creoles from Spain, and
curried cut, would render the condition of tho
million slaves in Cuba worse than it is now.
“The opinion mndvonced that though the
South unite in the crusade, to strengthen its
‘ peculiar institution,’ tlie North nnd West of the
United States will oppose it, both from a sense
of justice and policy, nnd a determination to
limit the hounds of slavery. Foreign powers,
tho Times says, will not sco Spain invnued und
£ lucked of her colonv with indifference, und the
inited States will hardly adventure upon, or
coutitcnuncc an enterprise which might involve
her in ditlereuee witlt tlie European nations. It
holds Lopez to be n functionary; a restless re
volutionist, who, bred in the camp, nnd, soldier-
like, ambitious of notoriety, lms enlisted a small
purty of discontented spirits—such as ure to be
found in every country, aud tlmt hia movement
is not representative of tlie wish or tlie will of
the great mu3s of Cubans.”
The Times also glances at tlie United States’
political elements, mixed up with the Cuban
uestion, anti sees a parallel witli the case of
’exns und tlie Alcxicun war, only tlmt tlie in
volvement of tlm United Spites witlt Cuba
threatens worso results, since tlie non-interfer

Sketch of Baltimore.
A series uf popular lectures is being delivered
in England, by Edward Poole, Esq., of Phila
delphia, on America, our people, &c. Alter
describing the principal Northern cities, repre
senting Philadelphia as being rivalry with Bos
ton for the title of Athens of America, and being
arather exclusive though cleanly city,he passes
on to Baltimore, as follows :
Baltimore, though a Southern city, is so near
ly joined to Philadelphia, niuety-seven miles
only by railroad, that I have introduced it bore.
It is called “ tho Aloniitneutal city,” from Bevernl
having been erected there. This city is also
commercial, its trade being principally in grain
nnd flooi’, It lies on the Patausco river, at
he head of Chesapeake Bay. The people of
Baltimore are generally esteemed highly in
telligent, and much less exclusive than Phila
delphia. There is an amiable tone in its inter
course that is acknowledged by all who have had
the pleasure of mixing in their society. Mu
sic is much cultivated, which, of itself, is con
clusive proof of their refinement. Between the
cities ol New York, Philadelphia, and Balti
more, considerable rivalry exists for the trade
of tbe West, each endeavoring, by means of
railroads, to effect a communication with that
extensive region, and thus unconsciously ad
vancing the means of defensive operations u
th# event of a war.

This fact, the editor concludes, will not ho with 1
out weight in deciding her course.
It is remurknhle how entirely tlie Timet co
incides iu opinions and views witlt the National
Intelligencer, New York Tribune, Express,
nnd other anti-Cuban presses in this country
Tlio editor of the Times could not better
have represented tlie sentiments and opinions of
the American papers unfriendly to the ennse of
Cuban liberty, if he had transferred their articles
to his columns. Can any ono doubt that the
English editor’s views of the question have been
suggested by tlie opinions advanced in this
country ? It is hut reasonable to suppose that
tlie English press would indorse the anti-repub
lican sentiments of that portion of the American
press which habitually sympathizes with mon
archy. Wo Imve before said that the National
Intelligencer and other journals of its cIubb, are
guilty of great wrong by constantly seeking
pretexts for and suggesting causes for the inter
ference of Europeun governments in the affairs
of this continent. Such presses do not reflect
the 8eutimeut of tho American peoplo on this
subject, and should England, or any of tlie mon
archies or pseudo republics of Europe presume
to act upon tlioir suggestions, they will find how
much they have been deceived. If England de 1
sires to retain her possessions on this continent
for a while yet, it will become her to stand as
little iu the way of Uncle Sara as possible.

Tlie Women against the Politicians and
ItuTiiHi-llers.
A large number of ladies met at Foster’s Hall
yesterday afternoon, pursuant to call of posters
the day previous. Airs. Martin Slough was
chosen President; Mrs. George Parcels, Vice-
President; Airs. W. C. Pinkhatn, Secretary.
The President sluted tho object of tlie meeting
to he thut of tuking measures against the late
action of the rumsellers nnd politicians, who
wore pledged alike to each other to further the
interests’of tlie liquor dculers, nnd retard the pro
gressofthe tempernnee movement.
Airs. Pinkhatn offered tho following declare
tion, which was unanimously adopted:
DECLARATION OK INDEPENDENCE OK THE
LADIES OK CINCINNATI.
When, in tho course of human events, it be
comes necessary to breuk tho political tie which
hinds a people to tiicir rulers, a decent respect to
tlie opinion of mankind requires thut they eliould
declare tlie cause which impels them to a sepa
ration. When n long train of abuses und usurpa
tions, pursuing invariably the same objects,
evinces a design to reduce them to absolute
despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to
throw off such government aud provide for tlioir
future security. , .
All experience has shown that mankind is
more disposed to suffer, while evils arc .suffer
able, than to right themselves by abolishing the
forms to wliicli they are accustomed. Such
has been the patient suffering of the wo
men of this nation, and such is the necessity
which constrains tlient to throw off the chains of
King Alcuhol; the history of which is that of
repeated itquries and usurpations, all having in
variably tlie same object, the overthrow of this
nation. To prove this let facts be submitted to
u candid world.
He has refused his assent to laws tlie most
wholesome and neceBSury to the public good.
He has forbidden his governors to pass laws
of immediate und pressing importance, unless
suspended in their operations till his assent
should be. obtained.
He has obstructed tlie administration of jus
tice, by bribing those entrusted with judiciary
power.
He has made judges dependent on iris will
alone for the tenure of their officer
lie has erected a multitude of new officers, to
harass our people und eat out their substance.
He halt imposed heavy taxes upon us for tha
support of his subjects.
He has plundered our seas, ravaged our
coasts, burnt our towns, and caused the death of
thousands and tens of thousands annually of our
citizens.
He is at this moment transporting large
armies of foreign mercenaries to complete the
works of deuth, desolation, and tyranny, alrea
dy begun, with circumstances uf cruelty and
perfidy not paralleled in the moBt barbarous
ages, and totally unworthy tlio lieud of a civi
lized nation.
Ho has constrained our fellow-citizens, taken
captive bv his minions, to become the execu
tioners ot‘ their friends und brethren, und to full
themselves by their own bunds.
He has excited domestic insurrection among
us, by compelling our friends to violate all law
and order mid then incarcerating them within
jails, penitentiaries and asylums, nnd confisca
ting their property to enrich his nobles.
In every stage of these oppressions, indivi
duals have petitioned for redress in tile most
humble terniB which have been answered by re
peated injuries.
A prince whose character is thus marked hy
every act which may define a tyrant, is unfit to
be tho ruler of a free people.
Nor have we been wanting in attention to
those of our brethren who havo yielded allegi
ance to this despotic tyrant.
Wo have warned them from time to time
against the unwarrantable acts of their legisla
tion, in giving up ourselves and helpless children
to the rapacities of their brutal king. We have
appealed to their native justice and magnanimi
ty, and we have conjured them by tlie ties ofuui
common kindred, to disavow these usurpations,
