Sentence (of death, I under- stend,) was also passed on Juan Bellido Luna and Andree Fovrier, who have been fortunate enough to @seape to the United States, but are invited to Jeturn here (as you will observe by the official pro- @lewation) to have their sentences carried into eflect. ‘The first on the list, Edwardo Facciolo, a native of ‘Mis island, will be garroted in the course of a day rtwo.

The Ida Kiss, a large Austrian ship of 40 guna, having all the appearance of a versel of war, arrived here on the 10th instant, and reported that she had fallen in with a suspicious vessel the previous day, of the Port of Mariel, manwuvring in a very extra- ordinary manner, and that upon the Austrian (who had hoisted the royal ensign of his nation, whieh semewhat resembles that of Spain) hearing down fewards the suspicious vesse!, the latter imme- @iately hoisted Americ » and crowded all Pail to esea) Sock Austrian captain’s story.

Admiral Bustillos ordered the war steamer Pisarrode be got ready, and the same afternoon she Proeeeded to sca in search of the suspicious vessel, whieh proved to be an American bark, from Phila- bound to Mariel, with machinery for the estate of Don Lorenzo Pedro, who had become very mueh alarmed for her safety, she having been at sea already prey fost days.

Unhappily, the fine steamer Pizarro was not #0 fortunate, inasmuch as that, whilst following the American into the same port, she struck upon a reef ef sunken rocks known as the Mosquitos, and a heavy swell setting in from the northward, she soon rome bilged, and I am informed will be a total .

Much sickness still prevails in and aboutthe city. ¢ ‘Te broke out a day or two ago in the hospital ‘ef 8t. Juan de Dios, which had hitherto been ex- empt. The statistics which I recently sent you, ta- ken from the government papers, would show the enormous extent of mortality which occurred here imthe month of August, as compared with previous months. I was assured yesterday by a pen of respectability, that all the officers of a battalion, stationed in the city, had died, with the exception ef one captain. Among the numerous victims in the city who bave fallen by this scourge of human- ity, is the well known Italian marble contractor, ope who died yeaterday,after a very few hours ek8. Facciolo was condemned to death, and others to ehains, at Couta, through the cnpidity of the inform- er Johnston ; and, considering the character for re- ‘veuge generally attributed to tis Spanish race, it is gemewhat curious to observe with what impunity @hat man parades the city. Havana, September 14, 1852. Bvents in Cuba, by an escaped Creole, a member of the ‘* Voz del Pueblo.” Affairs have now reached such a crisis that it peems impossible that the whole world should not brill with horror and compassionate humanity, and exclaim witb grief, as soon as the truth shall have become known. For it is indeed time that some measures be taken in behalf of the Cubans, whose noble natures and the state of refinement to which they have attained entitle them to a better lot. ‘The unhappy Cubans are now treated more shame- fully than ever by the despotic and cruel govern- ment of Spain. They want to annex themselves to these infamous Yankees, says that government, but im no way will it ever consent to it. No, it will ra- ther, to prevent this, extinguish all the Cubans, se- eretly destroying some, poisoning others, banish- ing a thousand innocent men, inventing conspir: under cover of which its officers can fling into pris those who may be deemed dangerous. Ina word, they have reculved to do away with the sons of Cuba, aad are straining their utmost to effect this. Be the means what they may, they are all good, pro- vided they tend to the accomplishment of their un- holy end. wm Mots Tt has been lately invented that variouz ind of Vnelta Abajo were getting up a conspiracy. This fable has alone been a sufficient pretext for the government to seize and throw into the carto- linasof la Punte, the Moro, and other prisons over two bundred individuals, among whom are to be found !awyers, physicians, writers, &e., men whose social conc n and influ founded on t! talent, had aroused the picion But ne real valid excuse ever by these to warravt such a course against them, th's falee conspiracy was taken as a cloak, under cover of which they have ventured to ar we have already said, over two hundred in without including in this number countless others seized in this city, and other ports of the island. It will eufficeto say, however, that th ‘isons and dun- geons are x0 longer capable of ug the arrested. There are all Cul 9 a name of Spaniard being a su! safeguard against uspicion.

We donot know exactly how many parties have been arrested, but we do know that ali the prisons, cells, &s., of Havana, are full of Cubans; we know, too, the names of a few of the more notable persons, such ag Mr. Leal, the aseessor of San Cristobal, the hacendade, Mr. Chapotin, and aboat two hundred others, also land owne uborers, lawyors, &e., &e. The names of the parties arrested im consequence of the discovery of the Voz del Pueblo pross, sre as follows: Don lidefonso de Estrada y Zevea. (titera- ry map); Ramen Palma. (lawyer); Hdward Faccioli, (printer); Felix Cassard, (professor); Antonio Pal- mer, (man of letters); Ramon Granados, (carpeu ter); and three more young men; while those who have fled from the unholy hand of ihe government number over thirty, literary men, protessors, and jand- owners, all of them persons of distinction, and not poor worthless scapegraces, atthe government states, wishing to convey the idea that such only as these desire a revolution. But the time has now come, and the island is ready, immeistely on the arrival of the expected expedition, to rise with the cry of annexation, and to unite to the great Amer- jean confederacy, whence only it now expects ite salvation. “Havana, Sept. 13, 1852, Outrages on Females by the Spanish Soldiers. T hope you will be pleased to insert the following in the columns of your wide spread and valuable journal, as of the facts I relate Imyself was an eye witness :— During the night of the 12th instant, at about helf past three in the morning, I was awakened by avery loud and boisterous noise, proceeding from the street. Having opened my window to ascertain what was going on, I had occasion to see the ex- tent of the infamy and outrage practised by the Ses govérnment upon the unfortunate Cubans. There were three companies of Spanish soldiers in the streets, headed by the Mayor de Plaza and the Adjutant, in front of a house, into which they afterwards entered. This house was occupied by an elderly lady, her three daughters, and two infants, both of them sick. The house was searched by the soldiers; but they not finding what they sought for, yented their disappointment on the unhappy females, in the most shocking manner; not content with searching their persons, they loaded them with all kinds of abuse. One of the children was s0 terri- fied, that this, added to his sickness, produced hig death. Of these things, I and many other persons who had left our rooms to see what was going on, were eye witnesees. 1 was also witness to another act of the same cha- racter at the house of George C. Font, belonging to a respectable and distinguished family of Hayana. This young man having been examined, was torn away from his terror-stricken family, but was set free on the tollowing day, having been made to pro- mise that he would leave the country and go to re- side abroad. This he promised, he having asked but fora week to settle all his afluirs betore his departure. Z THE CAPTAIN-GENERAL’S OPINION OF THE ORDER OF THE LONE S?rar AND THE NEW ORLEANS PRESS [From the Diario de la Marina, Sept. 13.} The New Orleans papers continue to live in the same ited atmosphere as they have for some time back; and this is certainly not to be wondered at, when we view the new piratical furor that isaaima- ting their more prudent brothers of the North. False rumors, calumnies, and pucrile throats, all | come to us, jumbied up into one confused mass, and, as usual, reach us but to excite a smile of contempt | or commisseration. We already know, then, from open confession, that | in a neighboring country a seditious and reckless set are conspiring against our repose. Littlenovelty | indeed is there in this announcement, for their de- sires, which know no check, and their efforts, which nothing but impotency can bridle, were long since known to us. The openness with which we discussed such projects, as soon as it pleased their authors to doff the veil of hypocrisy with which they sought for a time to cover their sinister designs, may per- haps give them an idea of the importance which we attach to their malice. We have, as yet, found nothing to occasion us any alarm, even when we have seen the famous Lone Star shine forth from whole columns of New York newspapers—a planet, by the way of whose existence, as well as of other matters, we know more Rerhaps than many imagine or desire. This phantom belongs to the same family as many others that are and have been used—but is calcu- lated to inepire only children with dread. Secret societies are an old and exploded means, and power- ful governments have now seen enough of them to know that they can laugh at secrets which they can pure! at even # lesser price than they are worth, though that is indeed little enough. But the affair assumes a stranger ect, when we see that the subversive doctrines which are at its foundation are openly avowed and dis- cussed in a neighboring country, and one at amity with the nai whose ruin these doctrines would eek to effect.

This aladin confeesion of the Bee we did not need, nor Sees it contribute to increase the strength of our po- sition in the eyes of the world; but extorted as it is by the irresistible power of truth, it is well to con- jgn it here. Even the false prophet Balaam, wishing to curse the People of God, could not re- frain from bursting into blessings. ‘Thatany as yet filled this part we are not prepared to say. though we do think and say that the Ddta, an several others, are amply qualified for the office. ‘And since we have touched upon the Delta, it may be well to reson 2a the yaaa id Myer gh — stony-hearted sinner. ow teclf the mad fore have pro E ounce it projects feverleh agitation w Lig their moters fy If the repentance be sincere, our congratulations can not be too hearty, as the con- version will be very profitable to the sinner. , But should the Delta, alarmed by of ite think in a fraternity where | | DEA’ foe! inclined to seleet, and shall fatthfally t the some plan of as it te If it prefer to we .

Many years devotion to public servico in the highest posta of the State, suffice to deserve the confidence and esteem of the nation, sole rewards to which a man can aspire, and whose posseseions will ever make their owner an object of dread and hate to the perverse. Terrible Murder at Natick, and arrest of the Supposed Murderers. {From the Boston Courier, Sept. 20 _A most atrocious murder was committed at South Natick on Friday night. The party killed was a shoemaker, named Israel Taylor. His wife, too, was ageaulted in a brutal manner, and although she was alive last evening, there is no hope that ahe will re~ cover. Tho particulars of the case are these: On Saturdey morning two of Mr. Taylor's children came down stairs in their night clothes, and disco- vered their father lying dead upon the shop floor—a sort of ante-room—and upon entering the bed eham- ber of their mother and not finding her there, they went into the parlor, where they discovered her in a sitting posture, blood streaming from five terrible wounds, but still alive. The affrighted children ran to the house of Mr. Izaac Hall, a short distance, and in- formed him that their parents had been murdered . Mr. Hall, with his brother, repaired at once to the scene of murder, and they found Mr. Taylorelyin; upon the shop floor, one foot upon his bench peor yee dead. Upon the back of his head was a very ‘ep wound, as if made by an axe, and there were other smaller wounds. Mr. Hall and his brother then went through the bod-room into the sitting room, where they found Mrs. Taylor leaning against a rocking chair, with her blood-stained infant asleep near her. Her skull was cut open, and there were four emaller cuts upon the head. She was speech- Jess and quite exhausted. They placed her upon a sofa, and called a physician forthwith. The news of the tragedy was soon circulated, and the inhabitants of the town went in eearch of the murderers. During the forenoon a young Irishman, named Thomas Casey, wes arrestod near Framing- bam. He had been in the employ of Mr. Taylor, boarded in the family, and took tea as usual on Fri- day evening. He was taken at once to the presence of Mrs. Taylor, but, she Tee upon him without suspicion, He sustained himself with composure, fia Dut for a remark wich he made when taken into eustody—that ‘he wished Mr. Taylor no ill ”—he would have probably avoided suspicion. He did not seem moved by the appalling scene of blood. Scouts were sent in another direction, in search of aScotehman, shemaker, named Duncan Mathew- son, who worked in a shop near the house of Mr. Taylor, but who, though at home on Friday evening, was not to be found on Saturday morning. He was arrested in thia city on board of a schooner bound for Pictou, in which vessel he had engaged passages for two pereons. He was conveyed to Natick forth- with. He stated to his employer that he went to Boston during the night, and that it was his inten- tion to have returned in season to have gone to work on Saturday. The statement of his having engaged passage for Pictou, coupled with the circumstance that Mr. Taylor owed Mathewson money for services rendered about a year ago, concerning which some dispute had taken place, tended to fix suspicion up- | onhim. He was also heard to say that “‘he must expect to suffer, if he does not pay his debts.” Late in the afternoon, Mrs. Taylor revived a little, and Casey and Mathewson were taken before her. She at once exclaimed, pointing to Casey, “He is the murderer—he killed my husband ” She then sank back, and up to our last accounts had not associated Mathewson with the crime. Casey was much moved by the declaration of the dying woman. The theory is that the murderer or murderers first struck down Mr. Taylor in his shop—that Mrs. Taylor, who was in bed, hearing the shrieks of her husband, attempted to come to his aid, and that she was assaulted in her bed-chamber—that sup- posing her to be dead, the murderers left her. Anaxe was found in the bed-room. The bed-post was shattered in a manner to indicate that the fiends were nervous in their bloody deeds. A coroner’s jury was summoned. One witness testified that during Friday evening, while standing at the gate in front of his house, he heard the voices of Taylor and Casey, as if in an; dispute. He did not stay out long enough to hear the contro- versy through, but what he heard he described as “loud talk,” as if the parties were ‘angry with each other.” The investigation of the coroner is to be resumed this wired Casey accounted for his being in Framingham by ying that he left Mr. Taylor’s house about nine o’clock the night before, with a view of going to Natick Centre ; that he went astray, and had been wandering all night, mnable to find the right road. He gave no reason for leaving home. Mrs. Taylor is about thirty years old. She is the daughter of Mr.Charles Davis, of Sherburne. ‘Thro is no hope of her recovery. Sho is the mother of five children. “After a careful examination into the facts and circumstances connected with this appalling homi- e jo, the jury of inquest returned the following ver- ic) “That on the I7thinst., between the hours of six and nine in the afternoon, the said Taylor, at work in his shop, was struck five or six lows with an axe on the head, causing deep and ly wounds, of which be the said Isaac Taylor antly died And the jurors further cay, that the eral blows were struck by the bands of Thomas «y, @ wen in the employ of the said Isaac Taylor, as we firmly believo.’ Thomas Casey, alter being arrested, underwent a partial examinati but in consequence of the noise and confusion incident to the excitement that the affair created, the case was postponed until Monday morning. The prisoner was then ironed, and about six o'clock in the afternoon was conveyed to Concord. TELEGRAPHIC, MRA. TAYLOR—CASEY COMMITTED FOR TRIAL. Bosrox, Sopt 20—P. M.

After an introductory prayer, in which the blessing of Christ was implored upon the church here planted, the 932d bymm was sung, commencing “Lord of Hosta, to thee we raise Here a house of prayer and praise.’’ ‘The dedicatory prayer was then offered up by the Rev. Dr. Hill, who supplicated the Throne of Grace to grant that all those here assembled, amid the solemnities of the time and place, might have no other object in view than the worship of the ever living and true God ; thut the holy influence of the Lord might here be so felt that the sinner might be converted and the penitent filled with righteousness, After the singing of the 933d bymn, the Rey.

JUDGE MITCHELL, u m of Jurisdiction —Isaac Parker and others vs. Cla- rence Shepard —This was an action to recover a sum of money on contract The plaintiffs are residents of Mas- rachusetts;the defendant resides in Wisconsin. The de- fendant saye no personal service within the State has been toads oc hiss, san he.tas ‘sob appeared in the action, except by counsel, to object to the jurisdiction of the court, The 9 udge, in denying the motion to vacate attachment with p10 costs, says the affidavit of defendant himeeif, shows that the property held by Brown belongs to him, and is only held by them as collateral security for payinent of adebt; that remaining interest im the defendant is attachable. A witness says that de. fendant resides in Wisconsin, “ where he now is ;”’ thi shows that the defendant cannot be found in this Stau Tt iseaid the property in Brown’s hands, being notes med by percons residing in Wisconsin, ig not property here, and is not attachable here; that the Sheriff could not fue on it here; but he could sue the makers if they should be found here, and he could also rue by publica- tion. At ail evente, it would be more proper to allow the plaintiffs to proceed now, and let the question “ whether the maker's residence in another State causes the proper- ty to be deemed in law situated there, or here, where the note is paseed on, ina suit by the Sberiff.”” Meyer ve. Lent—Mr, Shaw, who made the agreement with plaintiff, states that the mortgeges were given by him in order co discharge the lands of Lent fiom the mechanics’ liens in favor of the plaintiff, for work done, and to be done, on said land, Although an adjournment ‘was allowed to the defendant to procure Mr. Shaw's davit, and he shows by it that the agreement the mortgages should be given in satisfaction of tract of Lent, to pay im part for that work by the con- veyance of Iands, Mr. Shaw does not pretend that there was any such agreement, The builder might discharge or release the lands from the mechanics’ lien, but he would not thereby discharge or alter the ’ original contract—that would remain as before, except thet it could not be enforced by him. Tue builder could not insist that he was now to get money, when before he was to take lands, nor the owner of the Jand that he was to pay in money instead of lands, unless that was the clear and express it of the parties. The plaintiffs’ complaint is to enforce the spo- cific performance of the contract for the conveyance of & house andJot, and he arks for an injunction and receiver during the pendency of the suit. £0 far as the facts now appears he {s entitled to the relief which he asks, The an- swer it is true, alleges that the mortgages wore received in satisfaotion of the original contract,but that isa conclusion of law and not a statement of fact; and when the defen- dant was allowed to prove that there was such a contract, he fuiled to do so. injunction must be allowed, and the receiver be appointed, with $10 coste to plaintiffs, Burr. 20.—Isaac G.

Judge Campbell. THE GERMAN CHURCH CONTROVERSY. Sxprempgr 18.—Jn the matter of the Deacons, §c., of the German Reformed Church, Forsyth street, vs the Rev. Mr. Busche, which was an application foran injunction restraining the defendant from officiating as a clergyman, made by three out fo four of thedea- cons, and six out of nine of the elders, the Judge de- livered the following opinion:—A temporary injunc- tion was granted against the defendant, restraining him from farther officiating as the paster of the Ger- man Reformed Church in Forsyth street, and at a subsequent day he offered to show cause why the in- junction should not be continued. It seems that no suit hos been instituted, but the parties, being anx- ious to have a decision on the merits of the testimo- ny, Itook the affidavits and other papers, with aview of examining the question, and determining the re- spective rights. The moving parties are three out of four of the deacons, three out of four of the el- ders, and six out of nine of the trustees, and they insist that the defendant was not regularly, and ac- cording to the rules and by-laws of this church, elected its tor, and they ask that he ay be restrained from occupying the part and otherwise officiating as pastor. The do- fendant, with the remaining officers of the church, and, as they allego, a majority of the con- gregation insist that such election of the defendaut as pastor was legal and valid. A meeting of this congregation, for the purpose, among other things, of electing 2 pastor, was held on the Slat of ay last, at which election there were several candidates. The votes cast forthe defendant were morenumerous than those east for any other, but did not constitute & majority of the votes cast. It is contended bythe defendant, that he, having a pincaliey, of votes, was duly elected. The rules and by-laws of the church are in German, and each party has furnished me with a translation; and in that of the plaintiff's it appears that it is necessary that there should be a moe ee the votes cast for some one person be- fore such person can be elected pastor; while, by the defendant’stranslation, it seems jet @ plurality of votes is sufficient. And the it sete forth in his affidavit, that the practice of the church has heretofore been in accordance with his construc- tion. On examination, I find that the German word used in their articles means either ma- jority or plurality. This is an independent church, and, as I understand, has’ no comnection with apy ecclesiastical body, and there is no means of ascertainirg the true meaning of the rules b: reference to those of any other church I can hard- ly think, however, that it could have been the in- tention of the founders of this church to call a pas- tor whe received less than a majority of the votes of the congregation. It may well be, that where there were several candidates, that preferences may have been waived, and he who reocived the largest number of votes has been declared elected by and with the coneent of the congregation assembled, and with- out a further formal ballot; but where the election, as in this case, is contested and resisted, lam constrain- ed to say, from my examination of the meaning of the word thus differently translated, that a majority of votes was required. But in this caso, not only was the election determined by a minority ot votes, but. a sma)l minority of the trustees and other officers of the church, in communicating to the defendant his alleged election, did undertake to fix his salary, in eke to lee itis me Mabey Mat any ‘vote of the congsegation was taken.—Sec. 3d., R. 8. e 8. 5858 5) is reece Again, by sae @! ; e chure! perty, bot! and personal, vested in the altars and they have the entire controlover it.

I do not un- derstand from any of the papers before me, nor was it pretended on the argument, that the con- gregation had at such meeting fixed the salary, or that any sanction had been given by the trusiees to the salary named by the officers who had conducted the meeting of the 3lst May. Even, therefore, ifas contended by the defendant, he was elected pastor on the 3ist of May, by a tinal Potent of a plu- tality of votes, no compensation having been fixed by the congregation, and the sanction of the trus- teesnot having been given, I do not think he has any legal right to the occupation of the pulpit of this church. It may be doubtful whether the Thave already remarked that this application is made on behalf of a large majority of the officers, including elders, deacons, and trustees, and I can- not express my views of it better than by quoting from the opinion of the Chancellor in the case of Sawyer v. Clipperly, before referred to, and which was a case, inmost of ita features, similar to this :— “Tt is the right, if not the duty, of the trustees, to witbhold their assent, when there is reason to be- lieve that the employment of tho individual selected by the majority of the church, be he orthodox or not, will destroy the peace and harmony of the con- gregation of the church. In such eases the ministers of religion who profess to be disciples of Him who taught tho religion Neher and good will in aj] the relations of lile, should not suffer then selves to be the means of fanning the flame of dis- cord, or reviving the seods of strife, in any church or congregation with which they aro connected.’ Court of Common Plens, Before Hon.
