The Last News from Cuba—End of the Ex- pedition, ‘The piratical expedition to attack the Island of Cuba, set on foot by General Lopez, M. Y. Beach, and a jw in this city, hb closed its career somewhat sooner than we expected. By the in- telligence published yesterday, received from Sa- venneh, and also from Charleston, by tele- greph to this city, the public have been informed of the total failure of the expedition, the abandon- ment of the attack on Cardenas, and the escape of General Lopez h with some of his officers, in the same steamer which ied him out. Some further details and explan of this disastrous affair will be fo in our columns, this morning. According to this intelligence, Gen. Lopez is now in the United States, having lefta portion of his de- luded followers in the s, to be shot down as prisoners of war and pita’ the Spanish authorities in Cuba. What now becomes of the bulletins, the proclamati ¢ musical proces- lying of flags, and tras,” with tories, with which the loafers and boys round town have been amosed for the last few days? The folly and criminality of those who have contrived, instigated, urged and furnished funds for such an expedition, will probably come up before the legitimate authorities of the country. The matter is to be investigated in this city to-day. According to all the accounts received by the Ohio, at this pért, and by the Isabel, at Charles- tom and Savanna he expedition under the com- mand of Generel Lopez, counting 1,500 or 2,000 men, sailed from New Orleans between the Ist and Sh inst. The general rendezvous of the patriots, or, rather, pirates, was at the Isle Contoy, near the northern and eastern extremity of the peninsula of Yucatan. This island is close by to the isle colled “ Woman's Island;” and both these islands were selected by Lopez, for the gene- ral rendezvous, before starting to the coast of Cuba. From this pointto Cardenas, through the Gulf of Mexico, is n straight line, passing Key West, and along the Florida reefs, to one hundred miles beyond Havana. This was the route of General Lopez, and, it seems, the expedi- tion was accompanied by some other vessels. His escape must have taken place on the second or third day after his arrival in Cardenas: and but for the skill ot the captain of the Creole in getting uyon the Florida coast, and reaching the Isabel steamer at Key West, it is very probable that the Spanish cruisers might have overhaaled the steamer n which General Lopez was passenger, and cap- tured him as the prineipal prize. The expedition seems to have been planned with great skill, and the point of debarkation very well selected, in order to avoid the Spanish cruisere, and to enable them to escape to the coast of Florida, in case they should not meet with a warm reception from the Cubans. Lopez, however, is now in the United States, having escaped, and his dupes and deluded followers, or, at least, a portion of them, have been left to the tender mercies of the Spanish go- vernment. Lopez, and one of his aids, were ar- rested by the t 1 es Marshal, on Saturday, in Savannah; but no ¢ ppearing against them, they were discharged; after which, the General made a speech to a large crowd, announcing hisde- termination to persevere till Cuba is free. He started yesterday for Mobile This enterprise has presented some singular fea- tures. The first accounts received on Friday, of the landing of Lopez, for the purpose of making a conquest, or creating a revolution, roused a very gener) eensation in this community, and stirred up the elements of all sorts of public opinion, in refe- rence to the justice or injustice, the morality or immorality, of the expedition. The first efleet was that of eury This sentiment, however, soon merits of the expedition began to all quarters, and were commented e, in all the public journals. Thus far, it must be acknowledged that no newspaper of eny respectable condition or standing, h the enterprise or j ed the attemp e few thousand nturers from the Un to ettack the Island of Cuba. Asa general senti- ment, every element and organ of public opinion in this commanity, and throughout the United States, would not fail to expreas decided approba- tien of any legitimate cha or revolution in the islond of Cuba, by which its sovereignty might be confined to its own p and a period might be | putt further dominion of Spain, in any por- | tion of the islends belonging to this continent. This is the general feeling; but it exis: certain mo- | difications, in reference to public # and laws, sfiecting cur neutral relations with friendly natic A private inveding expedition upon Cuba, Canada, or Mexico, or any ether part of the American conti- nent, fitted out in the United States, contrary to ovr treaties and lawe, would only receive the con- demnation of the public authorities, and of ail jour- nels and all men of @ correct tone of thinking and ecting throughout the nation. It would be piracy firet news from Cuba brought by ft the iseue of the expedition in a po of great unce y and great doubt. Notwith- | #tanding the preparations made here and in New Orleans, and the account p th that many thou- had sailed on the ex on, doubts were en- sorter, that its efforts tert would be unavailing, aad the attempt would fail ined in every reliable either to enlist the « thies of the people of Cuba, or to prevail, by force of arma, against the constituted suthorities. Yet in the face of these doubts and uncertainties, a certain number of exiled Cubane, who call themselves a junta, issued a pro- nunciamento, cleiming a great victory in the land- ing of General Lopez, and prophesying vast resulte from his farther operations in liberating the island from its preseat masters. On the evening after the arrival of the news on Friday last, musical bands were engaged by those porties interested in the ex- pedition. They paraded the streets in various quar- ters, listening to the speeches and uttering vives and hurras, as if the island itself had declared its independence, and ite recognition had been ae. knowledged by the United States and the govern- ment of Spain. Ali these movements were prema- tore and ridiculous. However much sympathy, however ardent the desire of these exiled Cubans may be, however patriotic their sentiments towards their country may rise, we fear that many more ef forts and much abler generals will be required to ac- complish the expected revolution in that island, and to set it ina position independent of Spain. Yet there is evidently @ strong popular feeling among the democracy here and elsewhere, to sympathise with these imvaders, even in violation of the laws, treaties, and neutral duties of the mation, ‘The journals attached to the demoéracy are loud and vehement in their denunciations of the action of the administration of General Taylor in their endeavors to maintain the supremacy of the laws and treaties of the country. On the other hand, those journals attached to the administration seemed to be aware of the strong tendency of the public mind to sympathise with the invasion of ‘Cuba, no matter how much they may be in faalt cr in opposition to the laws and treaties of the na- tion; they were very careful hew they expressed their decided approbation, or predicted the expected results of these strange proceedings in that region. In these matters of great consequence to the honor of the country, to the trade of this and other cities, we rose above all mere party feelings or party attachments, disregarded the paltry motives which actuate other journals, and hesitated not to express our opinions and sentiments at once on the merits of the enterprise, in a national, legal, moral, and constitutional point of view. A revolution of the people of Cuba, springing from their own soil, originating in their own acts, and conducted by themselves against the government of Spain, is a right possessed by that people; and a successful etlort of such a kind would excite our sympathy and approbation, and that of all the enlightened men of this country. Butan expedition fitted out as the recent one was, contrary to our laws and treaties, sailing from a peaceful port, and invading a territory with which we are at peace, is unlawtul, dungerous, and disreputable, in the highest degree —it is piratical—and those engaged in it, little bet- ter than pirates. t Rovnp my Hat, anp Asovr Secrerary Ciavton.—By the last mails from Washington, we have received the following highly important despatch, from the Postmaster there, addressed to the editor of this paper. Read and laugh—there is no neceesity for trembling :— Tre Pomtisnens ov tHe Day Henary, New Yorx— Will please to take notice, that the said periodical, with the name and address of Hou J. M. Clayton thereon, sent to the Post Office at Washington, in the District of Columbia, is not taken out of said office: and the reason why the periodical is not taken out is, that it is refused, “This is the third notice sent of its being refused. Now, it the said periodical, with the above name and address, shall continue to be forwarded to this office three months after the receipt of this notice, the num- bers then received will be dixpored of for the postage of two cents, due on each number, unless the publish- ers shall pay the same. The 24th day of May, 1850. By WILLIAM A. BRADLEY, Postmaster at Washington. D.C This is not exactly a vermillion edict, but it i: near as Master Bradley can come. The refusal of Mr. Clayton to take the Herald from the Post Office, at Washington, or to pay its postage, arises from two reasons. The first probably is, that the Herald contains developements on the principles of diplomacy, philosophy, and religion, too far beyond the intellectual powers of the distinguished Secre- tary, and, therefore, distasteful to his capacity, and beyond his powers of intellect. The other reason may spring from the inability of the Treasury De- partment to pay the postage. Probably this latter reason is the principal one for refusing to take the Herald. The recent depletion of the Treasury, by the Galphin claims, the La Francia claims, and claims of all kinds, must, of course, have diminish- ed the power to pay the postage in all the depart- ments. Yet if this be the reason, we will endeavor, through our great influence in Congress—which we consider even greater than that of the Cabinet—to procure an appropriation by an an amendment to the annual bill, covering the whole of the vast expen- diture for the postage of the Herald for the last six months. In furtherance thereof, we ask some one of our frlends in Congress to present an amendment to the appropriation bill: but we hove that pone @ dozen will start on the floor at once—one in eac! House will be quite sufficient. We have refused, and still refuse, to stop sending the unapproachable and unrivalled Herald to the State Department, out of pure gencrosity and com- passion for the darkness which seems to surround that quarter of the heavens. The other depart- ments indicate they have more sense, and receive those copies sent to them like monkeys in a mena- gerie—they grin and bear it. But Mr. Clayton seems to be a peculiar man, and ha sbeen, of late, so much engaged in blundering through his foreign | diplomacy, that he has no time to read the Herald. Yet he must consent thata file of the Herald shall be received, and we request the Postmaster at Washington not to sell any of the copies sent to him, for as soon as Mr. Clayton and the present cabinet can be quietly kicked out—as there is no doubt they will soon be—their successors will re- quire a complete file of the Herald in that de- partment, forthe benefit of the new cabinet, and every administration that may succeed them. Mr. Bradley, think of posterity—de. Tun News rrom Catironnia.—The news from this golden region of the Pacific is interesting, but not astounding. Commerce and civilization seem | to be settling down upon the same principles of | action to which we are accustomed for many years | past, in these regions of the Union. Prices are | much moderating in all the great staples—in laad, timber, food and folly. There seems to be no end to the discoveries of new gold placers; and the prospects of the coming summer are as brilliant ag ever they were before. Emigration ‘ill increas- ing, piety is spreading, churches are building, gam- bling houses and hells are patronized to any rea- sonable extent, politics are organizing on the old platforms, and everything is going on ewimmingly. ‘The political movements are not without their sig- nifieance. The Legislature has been in session for a few months past; but we do not hear of the propo- sitions formerly started in that body, to take the Custom House iato their own hands and begin a movement looking towards a separation from the old Atlantic States. In the Senate, however, Mr. Dovugless submitted a concurrent resolution, which was adopted, providing for the appointment of a committee on the part of each house, to take into consideration the subject of the immediate admission of California into the Union. According to the tone of the journals, and other organe of public opinion, they seem to look upen any movements towards disunion of any kind, with as mueh opposition and | horror as we do here in the United States. There | is no darger of California flying off at the handle, | for the present. The evile of a revulsion and change of trade seem to have exhaasted themselves, and things, we are happy to say, seem to be gradually coming to their proper bearings again, and success settling over ali California. Gold is as plenty as ever.

We find the following announce- ment of the fact in a Sunday paper: New Yorx, May 25th, I have been arrested by the Deputy Marshal, under charge of being @ f ading expedition againnt Cuba, shall be tried, perhaps. mim Suilty of no crime—there is no law to eondemn allt uate ete, hart ae ee LGUEL TEURDE TOLON, Editor of La Verdad. Probably the object of this arrest is to bring the Cuba invasion before the Grand Jury of the United States Court, which meets to-day. Other persons in this city, stand in a like predicament, and are at any moment liable, from their ewn declarations, to be subject to the same laws. Among these, we may mention Moses Y. Beach, and all the Beach femily. Many others are conspicuous. The first step has thus been taken by the government, and it is not probable that it will be dropped so quietly— at least till the important line of distinction between patriotism and piracy be decided upon by the United States tribunals. Thus we go—the United States Court, for this district, will commence its session to-day, and there will be a very interesting class of cases brought before it. The fact that a species of patri- otic piracy, or piratical patriotism, has been com- mitted on an extensive scale—that the homes of a people with whom we are on terms of peace, have been invaded, and that an extensive robbery has been perpetrated—and murder probably committed —calls for gome action upon the part of those en- trusted with judicial powers; and particularly, as many persons in this district are implicated with the patriots or pirates, as the aiders and abettors of their doubtful acts. An explanation will be made by the bench, we suppose, to show what the law is with respect to the conduct ef those who have under- taken to design, to encourage, and to support a lawless expedition, sailing under no recognised flag, or under any flag, to suit the atrocity of their purpose. Should the bench take such a view of the case as seems warranted by the numerous facts, which show that our own laws, and the laws of nations, have been boldly broken, it is probable that many persons, well known in this community, may be arraigned for their misdemeanors, and, possibly, for their crimes. Since the above was written, we have learned that there has been remarkable promptitude on the part of the government. On Saturday, Mr. J. Prescott Hall, United States District Attorney, re- ceived instructions on the subject from Mr. Clay- ton, who insisted that the neutrality acts must be preserved by every means known to law, and that the President expected that Mr. Hall would do his daty. The matter, however, had been laid before the Graed Jury, on Thursday, by Mr. Hall, who, in the absence of Judge Betts, instructed them and enjoined them to secrecy. The Spanish Consul ‘was requested to attend, and made an affidavit to the effect that Miguel Teurbe Tolon, the Secretary of the Junta, with others, was engaged in setting on foot an expedition against the territories of the Queen of Spain, a friendly government, with whieh the United States are at peace. A warrant was forihwith issued for his arrest, which was eflected on Saturday night. Subpwnas have been issued tothe Messrs. Beach, editors and proprietors of the Sun newspaper, to attend to-day before the Grand Jury, and to disclose any information which they know concerning this illegal business. Judge Betts will charge the Grand Inquest upon the law, which will maintain its supremacy over lawless and desperate adventurers. Tan ee Ak AO QUEE RAY UF Tame Amenoe- ton Bennet.—We gave, in our edition of yesterday, the last day’s proceedings of the trial, with the verdict of the jury, acquitting J. A. Bennet of the erime of which he had been charged, and for which he has been immured in prison for nearly six months past. The scene at the conclusion of the trial, between him and his interesting daughter, was exceedingly affecting, but not beyond what was to have been expected from the parties, and their characters. Mr. Arlington Bennet gave bail on another charge of fraud brought against him, springing from the same parties, but which, we believe, is equally untenable and absurd as that upon which he has been acquitted. This trial has displayed a most singular and most extraordinary state of things, in connexion with the administration of criminal justice in this city.— Arlington Bennet has been known for nearly forty years in this community, as a” man of the strictest honor and integrity. He is by birth an Irishman, and came to this country when a boy. In his early manhood he served in the army of the United States, on the frontiers, during the last war with England; and he served lopted country well. After the restoration of peace, he came to this city, and opened a school, where he gave lectures upon book-keeping, and other sciences, to which he was addicted; and in that day he acquired great celebrity, and made a considerable fortune by his lectures and publi- cations upon book-keeping, and the eciences con- nected with commercial life. For many years past he has resided upon a handsome property, which he bought on Long Island, and, though somewhat eccentric, he has been highly respected, as a man of education, intelligence, and ungestion- able integrity, in all the relations of life. Ie had, indeed, a dispute with the Harpers, ia relation to the copyright of his works, and matters econnested with them; but there are few authors whose works Lave been published by the Harpers who do not complain of them, and their mode of business. Some years ago we knew Arlington Bennet, but of late years have not had any intercourse with him, from some difference on things of no sort of coa- sequence. No one knows the history and cha- racter of Arlington Bennet better than David | Graham, who endeavored, throaghout his trial, on the mort flimsy evidence, to represent him in a different hght, and to have him convicted upon a charge of which there was not a shadow of reliable evidence against him. Such is the individaal, and the brief history of aman egainst whom, by a singular train of events, the charge of forgery has been brought up, and on | which he has been arrested, indicted, and immared in prieon during the last six months. There must | A be something wrong in the principles, springs and origin of the administration of justice in this city, to allow such injustice and oppression to be perpe- trated under the forms of law, upon a citizen whose character is of such long standing, and who gave evidence upon the trial, of the highest respectabili- ty. Has the Recorder, in his charge to the Jury, explained this anomaly? Has Mr. McKeon, the District Attorney, thrown eny light upon this extra- ordinary monagement of crimmal affairs? Has David Grehem, acting for L. 8. Chatiield, the At- torney General of the State of New Yo getting és commission from him, and endeavoring, as the agent of a just and Christian people, to commit the acensed—has he thrown aay light upon this singa- lar and extreordinary administration of justice ? No. None of them have thrown light upon these enomalics. But there are trials and proceedings to be had hereafter whieh will bring to lighijend dis lay what a state of things existe here, and show he W such charges are concocted, manufactured and mede up, so as to prodace euch lamentable re- sults to indwidual rights and, public feeling.

The leading Senators participated in the debate, and it appeared to partake of a sectional character —Cooper, of Pennsylvania, and Butler, of South Carolina, being opposed to the bill—the former on account of its interfering with the mother mint at Philadelphia, and the latter on account of its oppo- sition to the establishment of a branch at Charles- ton. Senators Clay, of Kentucky; King, of Ala- bama; Dickinson, of New York, and Benton, of Mis- souri, advocated the passage of the bill. A great many statistical statements were made by the oppo- nents of the original bill and the amendment, to show that the Philadelphia mint, and existing branches, were capable of coining as fast as the wants of the community required; that the mints never had yet tested their capacity for coining, and theta limited expenditure, compared with that re- quired for the establishment of new branches, on the old mints, would enable them to meet any de- mand forcoin. Senator Butler, of South Carolina, was opposed to establishing a branch mint in New York, because it would ‘swell a current which draws off so’much of the prosperity of other cities;” and he argued in favor of establishing a branch at Charleston instead of New York. Senator Cooper, of Pennsylvania, showed by official reports, that since the establishment of mints in the United States, $145,137,993 61 had been coined—equal to an average of $3,000,000 a year. He also stated that the Philadelphia mint has a capacity to coin $40,000,000 a year, and that in 1847, $11,545,278 pieces were coined there. The debate was confined entirely to the capacity of existing mints to coin as rapidly as the wants of the country require, and the claims of difierent sections of the Union for the establishment of branches for local accommoda- tion. Upon taking a vote, the amendments provid- ing for the establishment of branch mints at Charleston and San Francisco, were lost—the first 19 to 28, the second 24 to 25. The original bill was made the special order of the day for Monday. Tue Opera, AnTI-Stavery ANNIVERSARY, AND otuern Excrrements 1x Bostox.—The Bostonians are as fond of excitement as any class of people in the world. During the present week, they are to have one or two more of the representations of the Havana Opera Company, the religious anniversa- ries, and some other interesting meetings. Among these, itis understood, are those of the Fourierites, who slink away into upper chambers, and do not associate with the world’s people. Something curious may be expected from them, about associa- tion, communism, and all the other isms, including fanaticism. Garrison and his satellites, too, are to shine conspicuously, and will, in the words of the constitution, “‘ peaceably assemble fer the re- dress of grievances,” if they can. On Thursday, they will flare up and out at Faneuil Hall, in the very sight and hearing of the North-enders, who, trom the time ot throwing the tea into the water, have had a peculiar respect for this country and its institutions, created by that act. The probability is, that Garrison will show what Christiamty is according to the anti-slavery creed, and that he will denounce the saints, the Bible, the Savior, the apostles, the clergy, churches, and us, because we do not agree with him in his whole- sale condemnation of everything except massacre and madness. Well, we must bear it all as we best may, take all his denunciations in a lump, and play his part of non-resistant, coolly, philosophi- cally, and indifferently. Should his blasphemies be anything like those uttered in this city, how- ever, he will stand a fair chance of bringing his neck within the statute of Massachusetts, and the Grand Jury may be rightfully employed in dis- posing of his case according to law and to prece- wi ted he pelt in Woston the penalty of ‘his elience; and it remains to be seen what will be done with Garrison. He is sighing and dying to become a martyr, and it would be truly benevolent to help him to his wish. There have been many minor excitements, dur- ing the past week, in Boston, one of which will bear a very slight allusion—the publication of some very remarkable evidence against one of the orthodox Presbyterian divines in New Bedford, who has retired from his congregation on account of alleged improprieties towards the young lady organist of his church. This evidence, coming after that of the more serious testimony on the ‘Webster trial, is really too piquant for New York | taste; but, if we may judge from the many columns | of it, in the Boston papers, is exceedingly relished in thet quarter. The Rev. Mr. Fairchild has | scarcely got out of print, and announced a sermon | on the approaching day of judgment, whea another | divine, of the same sect, furnishes copy of a simi- lar kind, for a new edition of the “Mysteries of Massachusetts.” : | On the whole, we think, that with the Opera, the | anniversaries, the ninth trial at a Congressional election in the fourth district, the anti-slavery and | Fourierite meetings, and the exhibition of Whip- | ple’s diesclving views, Boston will have its hands | and heed full this week ‘The Southern Convention at Nashville.

The Trades. MEETING OF THE PRINTERS. ‘The great rising of the great river of the operatives, which has been going on in our city for some time past, has at length reached the printers. It became them to make a better show than all the other trades, as they stand at the head of all the trades for intelligence, infor- mation, and education, Accordingly, on Saturday even- ing they did, in fact, make a display which surpassed that of all the other trades we have seen, Great Tam- many Hall was lighted up with its splendid chandeliers, end the company assembled did no little honor to the room, by their fine appearance, gentlemanly exterior, and orderly conduct. The numbers assembled were quite large, crowding the spacious hall. At cight o'clock, the hour appointed for the assem" bly, the meeting was called to order by Mr. BE. H. Rogers; whereupon Mr. Jawes Wire was nominated Chairman of the meeting; Mr. Freox. 8. Tuomrson and Cuas. McDevitt were nominated Vico-Presidents; and Mr. Frankiin J, Orrison was appointed Secretary of the meeting. Mr. Kocrns, Chairman of the Committee, appointed on @ former oecasion to draw up & report and pian for # New York Printer’s Union, then ‘addressed the meet- ing. and stated the progress which had hitherto been the printers of New York ina union calculated to ad- vance the interests of the trade. Mr. Rogers then read the plan of union and the constitution, which had been adopted at a former meeting, held at Stone- all’s, in Fulton street.
