Hartstene, ar- rived at this port yesterday. She left Aspinwall on the 5th inst, at 10 A. M., and arrived off the Moro Castle, Havana, at midnight on the ‘th. She entered the harbor at sunrise, and soon after the health officer came alongside, who, without making any examination of the ship, and notwithstanding he was assured by Captain H. and the surgeon of the steamer fat there was no disease of a contagious or infec- fious nature on board, ordered the ship to be quarantined. Te following correspondence will give the public a short history of the causeleas detentention of the Ohio:— U.S. Ma Sreamen O10, ) | New York, March 18, 1853. § M_O. Ronmers, Esq., Agent U.S. M. 8.5. Co., New York Deak Sin—I regret exceedingly that this steamer, | though performing well, has been frustrated in the due | delivery of her mails, by an unwarrantable detention of | two days in the port of Havana, by the authorities, ‘whom you will perceive from their subsequent acts, did it to gratify their piques, and to further display what | little respect or regard they have for a goveroment that | ‘will countenance them ‘te a civilized and honorable meye loft Aspinwall on the forenoon of the 5th instant, with the California mails, treasure, and four huudred and Sifty-six passengers, and at midnight of the Oth were off the Boro awaiting awaiting daylight, agreeable to the regula- ttioas of the port. Shortly after mooring to the buoys near our-coal depot, we were visited by-the health officer, fend in defiance of a clean bill of health, and being dij tinetly informed by myself and surgeon that there mo contagious or infectious diseases on board, nor have ‘there been any deaths, and that we have but a few more than the usual proportion of cases of Panama fever, all which, with one exception had improved during the pas- fege, and that we had the United States mails on board, ‘wore ordered to remain where we were, in quarantine, Communicating with no one, and that we could have coal only by taking it frdm lighters with our own crew, which im our crowded state would have caused much de- day. tir.

No decided im- had t»ken place in his condition, and but faint hopes of his recovery. ‘The commissioners—at the head of whom is Signor Espino—deputed to meet Santa Anna, and in- vite him to return to Mexico, had arrived at Havana, on their way to Carthagena, in a Mexican schooner- of-war, from Vera Crug. Ascertaining that General Santa Anna was en route for Havana, and expected there in a few days, they would await his appearance in that port. ‘The British mail steamer Dee arrived in Havana on the morning of the 13th, from Vera Cruz. Her passengers report that the general impressiou in Mexico was that Santa Anna would not proceed directly there, but await in Havana the formation of an army, which is now being got together, to sup- port his views. Seven States had voted for him for President; the other States had not been heard from, with the exception of Puebla, which had declared against him. A very decided majority of the people of Mexico were in favor of his return to power. One Week Later: Mexico.

He it was who retarded the revolution of Ja liseo, acting with Don Mariano Arista, and against Gen. Uraga; he it was who retarded the regulation of the Tehuantepec affair ina manner which does him little honor, and which, had it not been for Senor Cevallos, would have embroiled us in a war with the United States. Lastly, he wishes, at the present moment, to initiate civil war, Alarming rumors were in circulation, set afloat by some persons interested in maintaining public agitation, In Tacubaya it was said that Senor Lombardini, the actual President, had been sent to prison, and Senor Blancarte, General of Brigade, murdered.

The sentiment of Vera Cruz was also in his favor. of Mexico, the fol- ing on Guanajuato the forces destined to'subdue that point—that resistance came from the troops themselyess supported on the plan of Silao—that Senor Robles had gone to surrender the command of his division, and that great alarms were felt. The Universal, however, could not elucidate the causes of these rumors, which it disbe- lieved. From Yueatan, the dates are to the 26th February.

Worcester, of Eastport, Maine, out eight days from Boston, with an inboard cargo of ice, furniture, boots and shoes, &c., and a railway o1 gine and tender on deck, (made at the Union Worke, Boston,) bound to Mobile, in passing the west end of these islands, on Friday last, being at the time in stays, struck on one of what are termed the ‘‘Chub Heads,’ which are a distance of some twelve miles from the main land of these islands. They are about twelve ur fifteen fect in circumference, and reach just below the level of the water, which is of very great depth close to their destruction. In the present case, the lead had been thrown just before the Triad struck, when finding s considerable depth of water, they concluded they were not in any danger, The effect of the blow she received was to force her cargo up, and raise one or two planks from her deck. Shortly after, she had six feet water in the hold, and the captain and crew placed their clothing, abandon her. Subsequently, eighteen men were pro- cured from shore, who managed, by constant pumping, to keep her afloat, and she reached the wharf in this thermore to state, that to the injuries which an unjust | detention of this vessel has caused, have been offered in Bults of the grosiest nature to myself and the surgeon of ‘this steamer, by the informal manner of relieving her from # quarantine imposed contrary to the usages of the port, in defiance of our assertions, and without any examination of the ship on their part, until within the Jast hour we were visited by Spanish naval surgeon, in @ private manner, through whose kind intercession we ume, inéebted for the concession now made to er a detention of thirty-two hours,) of the usual ities of the port.

Mancu 17.—Edwin Porrest vs. Hiram Fuller.—The coun- sel in this case hay summed up, the Judge proceeded to charge the jury. stating the particulars of the action, the Judge said :—It waa the duty of the jury to look beyond the case, and to take the law from the Court, and without on the itement, to. see that justice was deve to both parties. ize not Le pao that they were justice by gi the plaintiff a very heavy verdict, they auppesed he was entitled to it; nor were they to their aympa- thy to the defendant unless it had made to appear that he had published the article without iateation of injuring the plaintiff in character, reputation or feeling. ‘The jury must give the plaintiff the actual damages he | had ‘sustained under all the circumstances, taking into consideration the actual malice entertained by the de- | fendant at the time the libel was published.

That, therefore, is not an admission that | the answer said it was not selected. It says it was select- ed and you are so to regard it. But it is uot said that it was taken from the St. Leuis Reveille, and you are to take that into consideration. It is said that if other men choose to adopt and circulate a slander they are liable for it, Ifoneman takes a slander and circulates it he is hable for it. But you are to regard all the circumstances under which it came to be published. Whether he stated | what he believed to be.true, coming from another persen, | makes no difference, as a question of law. But as a ques- | tion of damages, it is for you to consider it. The next proposition is, that the law assumes some malice from the libel itself. The law does not presume express ma- | lice. But when express malice does exist, it should be more severely punished by the jury. I am requested by plaintiff to say that the miranting, circumstances are not to be taken as disproving the malice, and so charge you. This much as regards the question of law. The other matters are for your consideration. You are to take the questions of law from the Judge, and if the Judge is wrong, the parties ean appeal toa higher tribunal. As regards the facts, it may be proper to remark that no oral evidence has been offered to show that the libel was published. No newspaver was produced, or evidence introduced, to prove that it was published. But you are not therefore to say that it was not pub- lished, because it is alleged in the pleadings and not denied in the answer. You are to apply the same rale | | to the complaint as to the answer of the defendant, and you are especially to notice that the answer does not contain new matter, and does not affirm the libel to be true, The mitigating circumstances are, that defendant is the principal editor of the paper, and had sub-agents | whose business it was to select for them, and that one of these sub editors selected the article in the course of | his duty, without the defendant's knowledge, consent or | | notice.” You are bound to take that as true, and it is a mitigating circumstance, because, if the whole article was the invention of the defendant himself, and that he had written it under feelings of great malice to the plain- tiff, then the damage should be greater than if the pub- | lication was without his koowledge: and that when he heard of it he disclaimed any knowledge of it. If so, it should go to lessen the damages But if, on the next day, when he saw it, he continued it, that should in- crease the damages more than if he had not done so. ‘The question, therefore, whether he did or did not do so, | should be considered in giving your damages. That de: | fendant did not ree it until it was published must be taken into consideration. But it seems admitting that fact, that after the publication he did see it. You will consider the fu | that it was published without his knowledge, and whether it came to his knowl- edge after the publication and before this suit com- menced. In regard to the measure of damages, the only facts to be considered are, that the "plaintiff was a tragedian of great eminence before this libel was pub- lished, and continues so to this day. It may be that the libel was not injurious to him because of his high stand- ing in his profession, or his high moralcharacter. But every man’s feelings must be outraged by an attack upon | his character, spoken wrongfully or maliciously. You | will not, therefore, infer that he is only to get nominal damages, but you are to give him damages for the inju- ries sustained in his character or feelings. You are bound to give damages for both these considerations. | ‘The latter, however, has not been alleged on the part of | the plaintiff. But still you are bound to give him dam | ages for whatever injury he suffered in his character or reputation, or feelings, or for both. When an attempt is made to sustain a libel by alleging that it is true— | when the defence is that the libel is true, and that | the party puts it on record, and it is not shown to be true, it is usual to charge the jury to give a greater | amount of damages on atcount of the motive of the case. But in this case there is nothing of that, The pleadings admit the libel to be untrue, and there is no evidence to ante that the defendant was called on to retract this | libel. . The judge then read the libel, which, he said, was se- lected by the sub editor of the Mirror, and the jury were to determine the measure of damages to which the plain tiff was entitled.

Every successive day the stock of the Erie seems to be losing supporters, and were it not for the op- portune purchases of a large operator, who dare not show his want of confidence, for fear of the conse” quences, this stock would sink to the grade of those of much less magnitude and doubt. The President of the Erie has promised to explain the charges of mismanagement, and statements appearing to in- volve an absence of integrity; but, notwithstanding he has been called on by a letter from several large stockholders, he still shrinks from the task. It ¢an- not be imagined that the delay can be occasioned by the imperfect manner in which the company’s ac” counts are kept; if so, this would be, in itself,a tacit admission of the delinquency which has no other excuse than the want of system and a disgraceful neglect of duty. If President Loder does not forth- with give the explanation he has deliberately pro mised—a synopsis, though a feeble one, having, by authority, been promulgated to stay the current of indignation—we anticipate a meeting of the stock- holders will soon be assembled for the purpose of making their own examination. The company have been charged, through a suc- cession of ably written articles published in the Rail” road Jowrnal, with having raised. ......$32,258,941 While in their recent official reports they have only accounted for $20,828,945 . $11,429,996 Leaving unaccounted for...... 996 | —which includes the late loan for $3,000,000, and a floating and unprovided for debt of a similar sum. We will not charge the President and his con, freres with dishonesty; but we cannot but conclude that they have been guilty of the grossest negli- gence and distrustful ignorance.

That there have been made large dividends out of capital is beyond question; and now, adopting the statement that the company will collect, for freight and travel, $4,000,000, it is easy to prove that even this large amount could not keep up the divideads heretofore declared.

Tho transactions hove, in the aggregate, been limited, and holders have exhibited no disposition to sell. The very doubt and distrust which caused so mugh de pression in other stocke sustained and atrengthened all pubic securitios of ondoubted character. So long as @ tight money market exists, we mast expect very little businese in goverv vont or State stocks.

There has been quite a lull in the manufacture of new securities both of bonds and shares. This is a favorable feature, as it gives us time to recuperate our energies. and bear the burden we have more easily. The present contraction in the money market will have & good etiect, by the formation of new projects calculated to compete with many now in course of competion, In the event of any let up in the present strigency, there will be danger of another expansion greater than that we have had, and the result will nov be so beneficial. It will be as fatal as relapses usually are, There is nothing so favorable to the preservatinn of a healthy state of financial and commercial affairs as occasional checks and contractions, and we are at times disposed to do all in our power to bring about this purifying, purg- ing process. It is the principle of prevention, in- stead of the science of cure. There is very little danger in the first, while the last may fail in times of the greatest need. If financiers, speculators, and the mercantile classes generally, would keep in mind the sure progress from certain causes to certain ef fects, they would not be subjected to the periodicay revulsions which heretofore have been so disastrous; if they would bear in mind the plain fact, that along period of extravagance and speculation, no matter upon what basis it may be conducted, is sure to lead to a reaction, which usually ends in a convulsion.

There has been an evident declension in the dry goods trade during the past week. It was mainly produced by the embarrassed state of the money market, which rendered factors very timorous and reluctant to give credit, while it made purchasers equally sensitive and indisposed to buy freely on cash terms. Both parties thought they perceived in the financial horizon very ominous clouds, which sel- lers construed as indicative of such future disasters among minor dealers as would render it difficult to make collections hereafter, and hence they have de- clined to dispose of their goods to few other than | cash customers. Buyers interpreted the murky mon" etary prospective as foreshadowing such future per plexities, amidst importers and wholesale jobbers, as would engender in these an eagerness to get rid of their supplies at whatever price they could procure from purchasers, who, in consequence, have dispensed ‘vith heavy operations. From such conflicting opi- tions has resulted the present temporary lull in bu- jiness, which, however, is likely to be, soon resusci- jated, as the money market is gradually regaining yase, and the Western and Northern dealers, who are known to possess a large amount of capital, will jhortly arrive here. We are desirous that we shall not be misunderstood. When we say that circumstances favor the revival of trade, we do not thus express our selves to encourage reckless transactions. On the con- trary, we are anxious to have operators bear the past and passing distressesin mind, sothat they may be cau- tious, in entering intocontracts, to secure themselves, and through them, the country, against any vicissi- | tudes that may hereafter arise. Jt is only by dis- creet movements that we can promote our individual and mutual interests, which should ever demand our solicitude. Sheetings and shirtings continue in fair demand and maintain their former value. There is @ more extensive variety, but not larger quantity, of | bleached sheetings and shirtings here now, and these goods find pretty free buyers at steady rates. De- nims are rather inactive, but remain firm and uniform in price. Drills are liberally dealt in by local jobbers and shippers, at last week’s quotations. A tolerably active inquiry exists for ginghams, which holders quote thus :— . plain asa. colors ., 10 Marshall's plaid... oo 19 one Ppiaia ° 111 Manchester... Naa Lancaster... . « 11 N.

Printing cloths are in prett; good request, but owing to the accumulation of stoc! and the dullness in prints prices slightly favor pur- chasers. Prints are quiet and unsettled. The de- mand is not brisk, though the best styles are freely tendered at previously current rates, and broken stocks are offered on easier terms.

Cotton goods, pkg: 1,447 1,022 425 Woollens are not largely dealt in; but their rarity and the increasing cost of producing new goods, aug- ment their decline. Holders are in possession of very light stocks, and are not disposed to sell unless at high rates, which buyers view as extravagant, but which cir) vegan Al yielded, should there be only a prodent.importation, which oth think some- what improbable, as importers and foreign manufac- turers may be induced to glut our market with goods which cannot be sold in a manner that will prove ad- vantageous to those placing them on sale here, but which will certainly damage the interests of all, if carelessly thrown upon the market. We would ad- vise importers to contract the orders which they send out as much they cenveniently can, as by so doing they will avoid much trouble and oss, especially in case of large consignments being made upon manu- facturers’ account, as these will then injure them- selves more than any others. Our own production is increasing slowly but steadily, and it behooves all engi in this branch jof the dry goods trade to carefully watch how far we are able to satisfy our own necessities, and act upon their observa tions. Blankets are held at prices 10 per cent above the rates current during the winter, and are, therefore, sparingly dealt in. Cassimeres are without essential change. Cloths are not so freely tendered for sale, as holders think they can ym of their supplies on better conditions some time hence than at present. Delaines are quiet, but steady. Flannels are unobtainable at the prices re- cently current, factors having enhanced their claims, in view of the light stock and diminished produc- tion. Jeans are about the same as previously repre- sented. Satinets are still scarce, and freely bought at full rates. Tweeds are actively sought after, and rule very firm. The trade in foreign fabrics is leas extensive than Md were led to anticipate; but a fair amount of business is daily transacted, which manifests considerable firmness in prices, though these are not quite so well sustained as they have hitherto been. Cotton oods are not so sale- able as they were a month since, and, as there is a steady increase of stock, prices tend ake down- ed by us wards. The advices from Bagland, publ recently, have not favored the market. Silks are generally in fair request, and 90 far realiae as high prices asduring any former period.
