AFFAIRS IN CUBA. OUR ST. JAGO CORRESPONDENCE. Sr. Jaco pz Cusa, Feb. 1, 1853. The Recent Calamities—Earthquakes, Epidemics and Conflagrations—Estimate of Loss to the City, $c., $e. Commencing with the 20th of August, the year 1862 has proved a very disastrous one for the ancient city of Cuba, as also for a large portion of the neigh- boring and surrounding country. Earthquakes and epidemics have, in turn, succeeded one another, until where pretty villages and thriving estates were heretofore seen, in many places now are beheld nought but ruins, whose inhabitants have been deci- mated by cholera, fevers, or emigration—which latter means many families have adopted ‘o escape other | For more than half a century, St. Jago and the eastern portion of the island of Cuba, prospered and increased in industry, wealth and enterprise, and an earthquake had really become a legendary incident, and not a fact that it was supposed could be realized in the present day. So secure was this feeling, that the writer heard one of the oldest residents remark, on the 19th of August, (but one day previous to the two great shocks,) that “since the copper mines had been opened, no one dreamed of such a thing as an .”" ‘This was in answer to an observation that surrounding country appeared to have a volcanic appearance. How soon was this feeling of someday Paened to be thoroughly eradicated. On the morning of the 20th August, at twenty-four minutes before 9 o'clock, when the business portion of the community might be said to have got well way with their day's work, a fearful era in their lives commenced. ‘The earth suddenly swayed to and fro—the buildings, on all sides, rocked and trembled to their foundations, many of them fz with a lond crash—the air was instantly filled the dust of lime and stones, and emitted a foul, sul- phurous stench—the vision, too, became momentaril; Paes All these berg? - bec Gia aa people, is it at all surprising that the feeigercy ould arise pees ee from | who gazed upon one another,and upon time, i in horror and dismay?

As soon as the first terror had passed, and reflec- came, each one sought with rapid step their anxiety and trouble expressed in every feature, dear ones, whom they had parted with bnt time previous, might even then be buried some ruin or fallen wall. Providentially, few were killed, and not a great many were wounded. Between the hours of 8.36 A.M.of the 20th, and 8 P.M. of the 21st, twelve distinct shocks were felt, in intensity and duration; and slight ones ‘were occasionally felt until the evening of the 29th, | when the gasses of the earth appeared to have a the time, exhausted, and the alarmed courage to return to their ruined from the 20th to the 29th of rf a i i ali ‘ | | of his ree: same time from other and climate; emigration also ny number, we may safely compute the tion in the city alone to be one-sixth of its former standing—say, eight thousand souls, The weather at the time of the two earthquakes was serene and mild, scarce a to be seen. When the cholera first made its appearance, the swallows, which before were numerous in all sea- sons, took their departure, and have not been seen since. (From the New Orleans Picayune, Feb. 7.)

Baxter, ar- rived at an early hour on Suds, sarong on by her we have received files of the Diario de la Mari- na, Gaceta, and Diario de la Habana, to the 2d inst., from which we extract the following items :— The Gaceta copies from the "Boletin de Cardenas the following, which we translate, relative to the conflagration at that place : “The ery of fire was given at midnight. It had begun in the warehouse of Messrs. W. F. Safford & Co., and very soon extended on either side to the neighboring establish- | ments, and the strong sea breeze blowing at the time, carried the flames fast upon the town, * * * * Tho losses have been much greater than was at first supposed, and we do not hesitate to say they are not less than $2,500,000. First, there are destroyed, down to their foundations, nine large sugarand molasses establishments, eight provision stores, six public houses, the post office, and many private dwellings, together with a large quan- tity of produce, goods and provisions in store, besides | the minor items.” it is not known how the fire originated, as it was first seen in a large pile of hoop shavings, nearwhich form an pera, there had been no fire. Sheds were to be raised im- mediately on the site of the warehouses, for the pur- pose of receiving produce from the country. _ The sale of the contract for building the telegraph in Cuba, was postponed until the 10th inst. The conditions for its construction have been published. House's instruments and Grove’s battery are adopt- ed. The plan comprises fifty-one stations and fifteen branches.

Amntunition NEWSPAPER ACCOUNTS. ‘om the Savannah Republican, Feb. 12.] Our files by this arrival come down tothe sth inst. from the 23d ult—both inclusive. They are ge- nerally filled with items of information of but little interest to American readers. Advices from Santiago state that several slight shocks of earthquakes had been felt there from the 11th to the 26th inst. The consternation was at one time great, but no injury was done.

The Diario alludes with great apparent satisfac- tion to a new commercial treaty supposed to be under discussion between the governments of Spain and the United States. A very beautiful new hotel has just been opened in Havana, called the Levere House. The cholera still exists at Baracoa, but had ceased at Puerto Principe. The entire population of Havana has surrendered to the pleasuf@s of the Carnival. We arp at those same “deep toned bells” (of which the demonstrator of the Mirror of Italy spoke) preceding Ash Wednesday, must have arrested many a rare Gath in the Queen of the Antilles. The Diario reproduces from another audacious philippic against the United Sta The writer contends we have but little religious faith mong us—that our riches are ephemeral, and that we shall fail in our endeavor to “acquire and cor- rupt” every thing on this continent. He intimates that we are Northern barbarians, who would over- run and absorb every thing, and makes a careful record of the fact that we have insulted the monar- chies of the old world by the ovations bestowed upon Kossuth. Among other things upon which the writer puts an iron heel, is Anglo-American Protest- aniem, which he charges with wresting the South American States from the crown of Spain. MARKETS.

We learn verbally that shortly before the Aquila left Vera Cruz, advices were received there that the city of Mexico had Spgs in favor of the plan of Guadalajara, and the Castle of San Juan d’ Ulua was firing a salute in honor of the event as she came ont of port. President Cevallos made a coup d'état on the night of the 19th, closing, 4 la Cromwell, the sessions of the Congress which had shortly before placed him in power. We translate from the Siglo Diez y Nueve the following account of the affair:— Fifteen days since the Chamber of Depatios elected Juan B. Cevallos President ad interim of the republic; and fif- teen days since he swore to maintain the constitution. As soon as ® ministry was formed, the government was invested with dictatorial powers, delegated by Congress, | which could in no wisezembarrass the course of the gov: ernment. Day before a ace rumors were circulated that the overnment intended to pronounce. The ministry in- formed the Chambers that it was preparing the draft of a bill which was to save the country. Yesterday, Senar Fuentes resigned the Ministry of Foreign Affaiss. The perticlio wes offered to Senor Montes, who declined it. The chief clerk sent te the Chamber a draft of a bill, as ollows:-— Art. 1, Convoking a National Convention. Art. 2. To meet in Mexico on the 15th June. Art. 3. Government to give ita report of its acts on the first day of the session. Art. 4. Not to remain in session m than one year— dent ad interim, and exercise legislative powers Art. 5. Governors of States to order election of repre- sentatives. Congress went into secret session, and agreed to sit till the bill was disposed of. Committees on it reported at hatf-past six against the bill, and recommending it to be sent to the committee on the grand jury.

Avalos is to resign the command to Col. Basave, who will hold the same until the arrival of Col. Craz from Camargo, who is to have command of the frontier. Avalos, we learn, has the privilege of leaving the city when he pleases, with his arms and an escort of a hundred men. Matamoras was the only point in the State of Tamaulipas which held out for the gene ral government. The entire State, therefore, has now adopted the Jalisco plan. The Flag says the cities of Monterey and Saltillo have also pronounced for the popular plan, so that the entire frontier is now in the hands of the in- surgents. ‘The report of the assassination of Governor Reyes, of San Luis Potosi, which we published some days since, is confirmed. It is said he was publicly as- sassinated in the streets of the capital, by six men in dis; that Don Ramon Prieto, Provisional Governor of ‘Tamaulipas, had been killed in Victoria. Colonel Cruz published, at Camargo, on the 22d of January, a proclamation stating that Matamoras being the only city in the State which had not ad- hered to the plan of Guadalajara, in virtue of au- thority in him vested by the third article of the plan of Fresnes, he declared the port of Matamoras closed to foreign commerce from the 25th ult., and that all goods imported there would be confiscated. The successful pronunciamento at Matamoras probably rescinds that order. Another proclamation of Colonel Cruz, of the same date, declares all corporations or individuals who shall oppose the plan of Guadalajara to be enemies of the independence and unity of the republic, and that their goods and propersion be confiscated to the State. He gives to the men under the command of Avalos four days, and to those under Caravajal twenty days to surrender. No mention is made in his proclamation of the chiefs. Theatrical and Musical. Bowery Tuearre.—This theatre is nightly crowd- ed with audiences who seem Biche nlesses with the rformances. The beautiful spectacle of “Ivanhoe” is announced for this evening, and no doubt will draw another crowded house. Mr. Eddy appears as Isaac of York, Mr. Johnston as Ivanhoe, Mr. Stevens as they drew up a manifesto and protest. fere_ the commander of the guards came to them with about fifty men, which he left at the door, and told the members present that the President requested then to dissolve, and not force him to extremities.

The Chamber continued some- time longer in session without interruption. | The President issued that same nighta decree cou- voking a convention in the same terms as given above in the bill rejected by Congress. The Siglo condemns in moderate but decided lan- guage the course of President Cevallos, The State of Chihuahua, and the Legisiaie of that of San Luis, had declared in favor of the plan of Guadalajara. The Monitor says that the President had ordered the federal troops to cease hostilities against those of en. Uraga. Gen.

The Orden advises him to get out of the country as soon as possible, before he is called to an account for his tricks.

We have received the Brownsville (Texas) Flag second and last concert this evening, prior to his de- igen perente for the South.

The of the 22d ult. ‘he int ce it contains is inter- esting. The Flag, referring to the news from Tam- | ico, that Rodriguez had been surprized in his quar- | ters and shot, by order of Gen. Cazanova, the com- mandant of the regular forces at that place, on the | pone that there was a conspiracy on the part of | driguez and his men, with a design of sacking the and to those who have heard his splendid execution on the piano, as also those who know the exquisite abilities of Mr. Vincent Wallace, it is needless | they will enjoy a rich musical treat by visiting Niblo’s | this evening. "It will be remembered that the con- | ate takes place in the theatre, and not in the sa- loon. Burton’s TuEaTRe—The great success of the new comedy, called “St. Cupid,” which has been produced in a very creditable manner, with new and beautiful costumes, induces the managerjto an- nounce it again for this evening. Mr. Fisher as Sir Valentine May, Burton as Queen Bee, Johnston as Dr. Budd, and Mrs. Skerrett as Dorothy Budd. Se- veral excellent pieces of music will be played by the orchestra, and the entertainments will terminate with the favorite drama called ‘Paris and London,” which embraces all the principal artists attached to Chambers street theatre. Nationa, Turatre.—The new Irish drama, called “O’Neal the Great,” is drawing crowded houses eve! character of Donald Moore O’Brian in a very able manner, and Clark sustains the character of Shane O'Neil in an admirable manner. Mrs. Nichols as Elinor. O'Neil ang Mrs. Jones, as Judith O’More, add much to the attractiveness of the pieces. The entertainments will commence with ‘ Lgndsharks and Seagulls,” after which a Village Boeaere by Miss Partington. The next niece will be the irish drama called ‘Gotobed Tom,” and all will termi- nate with “O’Neal the Great.” WALLAck’s THEATRE.—Bulwer’s beautiful play of “The Lady of Lyons,” which will be produced for the fourteen time, will commence the entertainments of this evening, and if we may judge from the enthu- siasm which railed on its former bee rd the theatre will present an immense audience. Mr.Les- ter sustains the character of city and robbing the custom house, says:— his accusation does not bear an air of probability, in view of the fact that the command of Rodriguez could not have exceeded two hundred men, including the Na- tional Guard of Matamoras, who were the first starters of the revolution in the State, and who went to Tampico | at the earnest invitation of its inhabitants, to assist in | its defence against a common enemy. This small force would hardly have been so rash as to attempt the plun- | der of a city of ten thousand inhabitants with an army of | a thousand armed men. And even if it had been so, why | surprise him and his handfulof men, and slaughter them | in their beds in the dead of night? Was the general, with his large regular force, afraid of the small force | under him, or was the act so atrocious as to have shamed It would have been more in accordance with simple justice to have confronted the victim with his accusers, ‘at a court martial, fairly convened. Such a course would have marked the distinction between a fairly and impar- tially adjudged execution of a sentence from his compan- ions in arms, and a cold-blooded, repulsive assassinvtion, as this will undoubtedly be declared by impartial history. torial trials. ‘The life of no one would be safe for'a moment in the hands of those | who manage them; and so, we doubt not, the National Guard of Matamoras will think, who haye before evinced | too much courage in defence of their own city to warrant | credenee in the accusation that they were fighting for | the desire of plunder. i | The says that affairs in Tamenlipes con- | tinue daily to deepen in interest. General Avalos, in Matamoros, continues fortilying the city against = anticipated attack from Camargo, under Colonel UZ. The Flag has the following as to the movement of Caravajal :— It is announced in an extra from the office of La Bande- but a notorious fact, known | to all, that Caravajal has again passed to this bank of the Claude in admirable river, bringing with him ig conn of stock, after | style, and Miss Laura Keene is an able representa- having pillaged trains of foreign merchandise, and other | tive of Pauline.

It adds that the mother of this unfortunate man, in the excess of her sorrow atthe | event, had thrown herself into the river and was drowned. | We learn that General Avalos had directed an official note to the United States consul in Matamoros, convey- ing the intelligence of Caravajal’s having crossed with his lunder near Reynosa, and asking that the proper steps | taken for the restitution of the property to its owners.

Quotations were favorable one for the accomplishment of their object. Their plan of operations, if we are correctly in- formed, were as follows:—Taking advantage of this ublic demonstration, men were secretly to be placed in positions contiguous to the headquarters of the | commanding-officer, General Avalos, and at all the | other strong points of the city, and at a precon- | certed signal—the firing of two guns from the plaza | —they were to make a simultaneons rush, secure the | person of the General and ion of his defences. | Owing to some accident, however, the plan was prematurely divulged, and the General had time to ly defeat the intentions of his enemies. The insurgents, however, succeeded in taking Poaeetion of the most favorable positions, and confining the very unsettled, but the tendency turoughout was downward.

New York, Feb. 16, 1853. | Mr, Eprror:—In your valuable paper of the 15th, I re- | marked a complaint from one of my brother creditors of piatning that the State, in mak- | ing over its grant of lands from the federal government | to the Mlinois Central Railroad, for the construction of | ovide that the company should as build the road. agreeable it might be to us to be paid, Icannot but think that the complaint is a little unreasonable. lace, the lands donated by the federal government had n under proclamation on an average of fifteen years, and no purchasers could be found, chietly because of their remoteness from market; secondly, it donated those lands | which were valueless to itself and useless to the Stato, for | the purpose of building a railroad, not for the purpose of paying the State debts, and it had no such intention, | and could have none, as to pay the State debt directly. If the State could get a railroad built for those lands, they would be brought under culture, subject to taxa- | tion, and thus made available in the discharge of the im- | provement bonds, and this is the only feasible mode in | which the lands could be applied to the exigencies of the lands is not in point, for the absolute year.

This includes the New York city banks (46) and 20 individual banks that have given notice of winding up. Two banks did not re- port—the figures against them, and also against those winding up, are taken from the books of the department. Hence the difference in the footings. The city of New York has within its boundary more than half the entire banking capital in this State. Of the $65,449,703, it has $38,782,625.

From June to December the increase in discounts was much greater than in deposits, which is rather an unusual thing. The general movement shows an expansion unprecedented in the history of banking in this State. It is fall time to give a turn or two to the screws.
