The Union acknowledges the receipt of a \etter from Havana, dated ont.e 12th instant, wherein the 5; eech of Lusuriaga us officially Presented to thie Government is discredited Projects tor increasing the black troops on the island are spnourced, and alleged threats of the newly raised volunteers to destroy “ that nestof pira'es,”’ “New Orleans,’ are reported. Qn the whelo, this letter smolis stroegly of an evident fillibusterish origin. It was undoubt- edly written by some one up to his ears in the plots and counterplots of ‘the Junta’ Under the head of ‘another step in Spanish despot ism in Cuba” the Union protests vehemenily against the alleged decree of the Spanish Home Government, that Concha shall place every American on the island under arrest in case of the successful landing of another filli bustering expedition, or another attempt at revolution on theisland Ag yet this matter needs confirmation, as it appeared only in the Havana newe of the New Orleans Picayune. We have learned to receive such news appear- ing first in thot quarter cum grano salts The Union alse contains an able article to show tha: the course of some of the opposition journals upon the Cuban question bide fair, as in the ease of the tone of many of them prior to the Mexiean war, to induce Spain to irri tate the United States into a war. The Intelligencer, judging from an article im the Journal of Commerce, dreads least the American Government are about to punish summarily any further efforts of Spain to “bring to”” American ships engaged in lawful commerce on the Gulf, by f-ing shot over and around them The editor does not consider Such conduct on the part of a foreign power an infraction of our rights. — PERSONAL. ++++Ex Governor Seabrook, of South Caro- lana, died on the 16th inst.

The Hypocrisy of British Governmental Philanthropy.—Those who know the history years—since the tendency of the commerce al t and politioal affairs of the world has made it apparent that but for her active exertions to | the contrary, we are destined sooner or Iater to rank her as the leading commercial nation of the earth—are well aware that her liberation of the slaves in her West India island: was the result wholly of the purpose of destroying eventually the institution in the United States. Her statesmen and political economists regard it as the key to or foundation of our business prosperity, which enables our North to rival her in the shipping and manufacturing busi- ness. Hence her desire to deprive us of it. Her Government, while professing to have been actuated wholly by philanthropic mo- tives in changing the statws of affairs in her West India islands, have very lately afforded proof in other points of their policy, of the utter hypocrisy of guch professions on their part. They have bought fifteen thousand able- bodied men from the King of Sardinia, at $333 each, (dog cheap,) as food for Russian powder and balls. Their own citizens are not to be persuaded to enlist in any such forlorn enterprise on any terms; so they pay Sardinia a million pounds sterling for the number of men and offizers, indicated above, to serve in the Crimea. The history of the war proves that half of them hafe beez, sold unto death Unto a fate, the risk of which British subjects are net enfficiently loyal to encounter on any reasonable terms, including a bonus of $333 per annum ; for if Britons, to the manor born, could have been induced to enlist on the terms offered the foreign mercenariez, as a matter of course they would have been preferred. We cannot understand why it is more philan- thropic to buy Europeans, civilized, educated: and to acertain extent, refined, to be used enly to be killed, as in this’case, than to buy Afriean negro savages to be used in agrioul- taral labor, and have their condition and Prospects in all respects improved by the change Britain’s traffic in coolies from India aad China, exhibits her hyrocrisy in a stil! more odious light. She has broken up the African slave trade to Cuba, to cripple us, if possible, and essays to supply the demand for labor there with what she terms coolie-appren ices. Her merchants and ships alone traffic inthem. They are landed, apprenticed under great pretensions of 2 determination to care for them and protect their rights. But that’s the last heard of them. Once on plantations: they are worked and treated far more cruelly than Africans are, and, if any of them eome out of their apprenticeship with life, we have never yet heard the fact asserted. She fur. nishes (sells to) the Peruvian Government the coolies who dig out the guano on the Chineha Istands and load the vessels engaged in the trade. No other slavery known to modern times is so hideously cruel as that. The term of years for which she sells them to Peru is in nine out of every ten cases longer than they live, when so employed. That is, not one in ten survives to the end of the term. The guano is in banks or deposits as hard as baked clay, and it is only to be loosened with picket On being picked, it crumbles into the state of fine dust in which it is imported here. Every time the pick is struck into the mesa, a cloud of dustlike thick smoke rises, and getting inte the eyes, nostrils, and mouths of the laborers, so irritates their lungs, as, after they have been a ehort time at the lavor, to sot them bleeding at the lungs, ending rapidly ‘n their prostration and death. They are without family ties there, or any comfort what- ever, faring in all reapects worse than dogs in any civilized country. Suicide is their fa- vorite method of escaping the horrible tor- tures of the situations into which the English Government imports them by the ship load, with fall knowledge of the consequences of their act upon the poor creatures. It not un- frequently happens that we receive in this country as part of the cargo of a guano ship, the mummied body of a cooly, who, eitber by aceident or choice, goes down in the wind-sail slide in which the article is “‘shot”” from the bank of guano against which the ship lays in loading, into the hold. These things are gro wing worse and worse yearly, and have already come to involve far more actual physical suffering annually, than was ever experienced by the savage negroes of Africa in a year, from the unduubted enor- mities of the original vetrade. Whenever the history of Britain’s traffic in coolies comes to our mind, we shudder over the utter hypoe- risy of her pretensions to governmental phi lanthropy, as being. in peint of fact, almost as bad as the thought of the bodily sufferings to which her cupidity thus annually subjects so many thousands of human beings. List of Patents issued from the United States Patent Office, for the week ending April 24, 1855 ~ each bearing that date : Jearum Atkins, of Chicago, Ill.—For im- provement in platforms of grain harvesters Jason W. Corey, o: Crawfordsville, Ind.— For improvement in spring connecting rods for washing machines Jonathan Jobnson and John E. Crane, of Lowell, Mass —For improvement in stoves. &0. Noyman C. Harris, of Poultney, Vt.—For improvement in the manufacture of slate pen- cils. Palmer Lancaster, of Burr Oak, Mich.—For improvement in implement for shearing sheep ac B Livingston and Miles Waterhouse, of Barnet, Vt —For machine for feeding paper to printing Detvitie john G. Melville and William Brayshaw, of Wethersville, Md.—torimprovement in looms Wm. Munroe, of Boston, Mass.—For im- ested in this particular service. Under the management of this particular branch of the Government affairs by these gentlemen, a very commendable economy and Sreatly increased aggregate of duties discharged by the sbip’s officers and orews have already been brought about, and there is every reason to believe that the new regulations to which we refer above will further improve the efficiency of the revenue marines. During the late inclem ent season its labors and serviees on our coasts were the theme of the praise of all interested in American seaward commerce, - We should not forget to mention that Wm. Handy, Esq., is the principal olerk of the rev- enue marine branch in the Treasury Depart- ment, discharging the duties which were for- merly those of the senior captain in the service with two junior officers for assistants; and dis- charging them, too, in a manner which has won for him great praise fiom all interested in the prosperity of the United States revenue marine, as has been repeatedly testified by those gentlemen. American Wool.—We saw, yesterday, in the Agricaltural bureau of the Patent Office, @ beautiful sample of the wool of the Augora goat, from Mr. Richard Peters, of Atlanta Georgia. This specimen ig very fine, indeed, being some ten inches long, as sft and glossy as slik, and pure white tn color. The goats from which this wool came, are the produce of an importation mads by Dr. James B Da- vis, of Columbia, S. C., in 1849—seven females and two males. The flock is now owned by, Mr. Peters, and numbers, perhaps, sixty. Dr. Davis is now about embarking for Persia to obtain more, The yield of the fleece, in this country is from four to four-and-a-half pounds annually. The experiment of introducing these goats into the United States, has been entirely successful, the yield here being mach greater than in Asia Minor, where it ranges from one to four pounds The only embar- rassment to their very rapid increase among us thus far, is the fact that the male: born in the flock greatly outnumbers the females. Howell Cobb.—We are exceedingly gratified to hear that Hon. Howell Cobb bids fair to be returned to the next Cougress with very incon siderable opposition. We have this informa tion from authority in which we have every confidence. His enlarged experience, ardent devotion to his country’s best interests, and commanding talent, will prove fortunate, in- deed, for the public service in the hall. Thou- sands on thousands of all political parties and every section of the Union will rejoice with us over this news. The New York Delegation —lWearing ru- mors that the delegation of five leading gen- Uemen from New York—Judge Vanderbilt, James Bowen, Preston King, and their com- panions, now in this city, have come hither on @ political mission, we have to say that there is no truth in it. They are here en bus- iness with the government relative toencroach- ments of New York harbor. They have had, we learn, extremely satisfactory interviews with the President and others in authority here, who are understood to have received their views and to second their suggestions in (io them) a very satisfactory spirit. The New Revenue Cutters —The Treasury Department has received the models for the four new revenue cutters soon to be built They are beautiful things indeed The speci- fications and drawings have just been com- pleted under the immediate supervision “of the Secretary. Copies of the plans and draw. ings are being made to aid those disposed to bid for them in making their proposals. The tonnage of three of them is to be from ninety to one hundred tons; that of the fourth, from one hundred and thirty to one hundred and fitty tons. ‘he Surveys of the Public Lands in Cal- ifornia.—From information coming by the last arrival it seems that the Surgeyor General there is progressing rapidly with the surveys of the public lands in that district. An “in- dex Atlas’ for the State of California and oth- ers for the Territories of Oregon and Washing. ton, exhibiting the progress of the surveys and the return of plats, andthe limits of the present districts, has been orderhd to be pre. pared in the General Land Office of this city. The Frigate Savannah, (Com. Salter’s Flag Ship,) Commander Mercer.—The Navy De- partment have advices from this ship at Rio, on the 24th of January last. All well on her and in the squadron, as faras known at the Department. The Savannah wag to have sailed on the next day'om 2 cruise along the coast. A Eesignation.—Mr. Hewston, melter and refiner at the Branch Mint at San Francisco, has resigned, and Conrad Wyegaud, who has been employed in that establishmant as an assistant assayer, has been appointed in his stead. An Army Officer Resigned —The resigna- tion of Second Lieutenant Henry F. Witter, of the 5th Infantry, United States Army, has been accepted, to take effect on the 20th of May next.

The Secretary of the Treasury, aided by his efficient Assistant Seeretary, has just com pleted an entire new code of regulations for the future government of the United States revenue marine service, in which the main objects sought to be obtained are greater offi- ciency with the means accorded by law, and Riot at Curcago, Inu.—A riot occurred on Saturday morning, growing out of the Liquor License question. One man was killed and five or six others wounded. A emall proces- sion of intoxicated Germans and Irish marched with drum and fife to the court house square and, collecting a crowd, the policefinterfered. when a general fight ensued. Soon an im- mense crowd collected, and a fierce fight re- sulted, in which knives and clubs were used. The principals being soon arrested however; the excitement diminished, and comparative quiet was soon restored. Another dispatch says the riot was continued in the afternoon, and the military were under arms. Arrests were made. At last accounts all was quiet. Luxunies.—A large quantity of strawber- ries, asparagus, etc., was brought to Philadel- phia, on Saturday, from Savannah, Geergia. ‘| ized; BALTIMORE CORRESPONDENCE. Sudden Deaths—Business—Money Mat- . ters, be, ke. Ba.tivoke, April 24, 1855. T learn with regret the sudden death of Dr. Allen Thomas, a well known and much es- teemed citisen of Anne Arundel county. He was one amongst the most benevolent and worthy gentlemen of his vicinity. The sudden, accidental death of Mr James Mahool, an aged, well known and opulent citisen of Franklinville, Baltimore county, is announced to oe He was thrown from his carriage yesterday morning whilst en route for Baltimore, and ditd in the éVening, never after the injuries. = =~ I have the pleasure of meeting occasionally our late Congréssional representatives Henry May and Joshua Vansant. Both of them look well and are in fine keeping. I doubt if ever Baltimore was represented by two mere popu- lar gentlemen. higs fully conceede this. and Democrats never doubted it. The truth is, there seems to be but little partisan strife here at present. Our people are content to have good and true men in office, without re- gard to partisan predelistion tis surprising tc see how dompietely old political distinctions have been forgotten. Baltimore is settling down into a businors city, and men go for men and measures consonant with their al! ab-‘| sorbing considerations independent entirely of party. So heartily sick have our people become of old political demonstration, trick- ery and chicanery, that they eschew the very names that come divided there. The Know- Nothings are endeavoring to get up a new par- ty on the ruins of the old one, but the objec: of their leader is so transparently selfish, that sensible persons are, already disgusted. If I mistake not, the le in this country have been cudjoled more by desigaing demagogues than they will over be again. Our age is one of progressive intelligence, and advancing be- yond the power of subjugating humbuggery. Heaven grant it may oontinue to do sq, Daily accounts from various parts of the surrounding country are most cheering in re gard to vegeta'ion and the spring crops. The farmers are cheerfai in the hope of an abun- dant harvest, This is truly welcome intelli- gence, as it superinduses the hope that we shall be enabled to obtain the “ stuff of life” at more reasonable rates.” Our city continues to present a cheerful bu- siness-like aspect. The hotels are all well filled and thousands throng the streets in all directions. Ladies are out in loveliness ard beauty. The theatres are liberally patron- and, upon the whole, Baltimore is marching onward with encouraging prospects Breadstuffs continue to keep up solely in consrquence of short supplies Money, how. ever, is plenty, and farmers are rich Hard times, therefore, under these circumstances cannot easily exist.
