SAFETY TO STEAMDOAT PASHENGERS. Mr. Davis reported the bill regulating steamboats, with a recommendation that all House amendments be concurred in, He moved that it be takep up, and that all the amendments of the House would be concurred in, Mr. Prartr said the amendments of the House number. ed one bunred and fifty. He held in his hands protests from owners of steamboats on the Chesapeake waters, against the paeage of the bill, declaring that its passage would be ruinous totheir business.

Was Congress to take the doubtful step of intertering to control and direct the business of private individuals to save the life of a man who was reckless enough to go aboard of a steamboat which he knew to be unsafy, tor the purpose of saving a quarter of adoliar. These losses of life were the conse- quences of the imprudence of the persons themselves. Mr, Downs thought that if Congress possessed any ono power more unquestioned than another, it was that over all navigable water in the territories of the United States.

The poverpment. in its seareh for from which is issued the Voz det Pueblo, found som® powder and ball ridges in 4 house near the seashore. on the Calsada Sen Lazaro, whic led to more being discovered under the bed of a@ lady in Regios. These discoveries have somewhat alarmed the government, as you will observe by the ill timed and menacing editorial published LV by autnority’ in the Diario de la Marina of the 1sth, to which I would refer you, Notwithstanding all their endeavors, they have not yet been able to discover the parties concerned in the publication of the Vozdel Pueblo, The Creoles, as I said before, are talking very big, but I fear that little reilsnce oan be placed on them, I was told yesterday, however, bys person for whotn I have the greatest reepect, that some of the most influential Spanjaras have lately begun to think that as itis almort impossible for Spain to retain the istand much longer, it would be to their interest, im case: of uchange. tobe on the Creole side of the oa them, Several secret meetings bad already been held which having reached the ears of the government, be the cause of the menacing editorial I spoke of. Let that be as it may. the government seem to have got ‘hold of some informationjwhich it considers of sufficioms importance to justify it in issuing the: most atringemt orders. aud they now search not only the houses, but even the persons of individuals suspected ” The menacing editorial to which the writer refers, ie published in the Gareta, the organ of the governmont, and copied into the Duario, with editorial comments by the latter, It purports to be an answer to allegations made by the Havana correspondent of the New York Sun, and denies that any thing like general disaffestion to the goverpment exists on the island. It then refers to the revolutionary paper. the Voz del Pueblo, comments on its appearance, and endeavors to refute its “calumnies” om the government. The Voz said in one of its numbers that the government. in order to revenge itsolf om the Cubans, had caused many of the young men imprisomed in its dungeons to perish beneath the lash; that ladies had been insulted in their houses, and that persons of the highest character had been stopped in their car riages and searched ; but with all this labor and cruelty, it had not been able to discover their plans. To this the Gaceta answers :— 1 leave the taek of exposing these falschoods to the prironers themselves. But we will say that the es ernment. from the appearance of the first number of Voz. kuew who were engaged in its publication, but, with that prudence and moderation which never abandoned it, did not wish to proceed against them until they were better known. Now that it has placed its finger om the ulcers, it has acted with dignity, and with a moderation unmerited by those who have provoked its justice aud the public exeoration ” 1t then goes on to ridicule the assertion made by. the Sun’s correspondent, that the government had ordered $20.000 reward for the discovery of the conductors of the Voz del Pueblo, contenaing that the government has means enough at its command, without oifering a reward, The aiticle concludes as follows “In one thing on)y is the Sun or its correspondent cor rect, and that is when it says that the editors of the Pox published it at the hazard of their lives, The govern- ment of the island {s strong, and the representative of our lady the Queen here is determined to cause the laws and the integrity of the nation to be respected; not only be- cause iff Wondpe '¥ to.do £0, but because in doing so he secures the happiness of the country, He will be inex- orable, therefore, with those who in any mauner conspire egainst this sacred object, Where orime is found judg- ment will follow, legally, but unfailingly, even to pi cation; and wherever the criminals are found. there will the avenging sword of justize fall, without diacrimina- tion.” ‘gris larana ql] the Gacete cao, of vourse, an@ at SRW Hebron of les owe” The ringularity of thie langunge, and the menacing tone of the concluding para- graph, would seem to favor the idea advanced by the writer, from whose letter we have quoted, that some in- fluential Spaniards were engaged in the cons y. The government would hardly waste so much breath im warning the Creoles, with whom they are accustomed to deal in a summary manner. Biooklyn City Intelligence.
