ESE ‘INTRLLIGENCE PROM THE ANTILLES, ee MATTERS AND THINGS IN CUBA. Our Havana Correspondence. The dates from Havana up to the Sth of Beptember. The following c junications from our correspondents at that port are of an earlier date, but will be found to contain much interesting n2ws. We understand that the exposé made in the New VYou« Hexaty some time ago of the way in which tao Yucatan Indians were being kidnapped and brought to Havana as slaves, bas bad the effect of stirring up the Captain General and causing him to move in the matter. Some sixty of these kidaapped Tndians— men, women and children—were taken to the palace for exumivation on the 2d of September. They bad been bronght from (Martyrs fishing wharf, on the other side of toe harbor. It was gene- rally understood und believed that some one, by threats or promises, induced these poor ignorant people to sign certain papers, déclaring that they bad left Yucatan an! come to the island of their own free will. In the meautime it is understood the Mexican Consul—Don Ramon Carvallo—had repre- sented this outrage to the Captain General in the strongest lapguay: Our Havana Correspondence.

Judge Sharkey’ geti: letter «pon the occasion referred to gas had a very astound ngcilkct. This government fiading that the rifling ‘toail bags was a system of outrage which the American people would be little disposed to submit to, and, os the mails for the United States are now made up at Messrs. Drake & Co.'s office, the an- thorities could net very well search the bags with- vat ¢ fact becoming known to the public; the comscquence has been -that a represen tation war made to t supreme government of Madrid, which b sulted in a_ royal | der recently receive rom Spain, prohibiting maila to be made ap in any office other than that of the Spanish Post Office! That this order will be | acted upon, or submitted to, is quite another thing. | If it is submitted to, you may be very certain that not only the letiers received from the United States, through the hanes of those Spanish authorities, will be tampered with, but the letters also for the United States, transmitted through their post office, will be cxpeeed to the curiosity of our not over scrupulous Amigos.

It has been seen how much anxiety aud zeal was displayed t» rescue from the clutches of an Austrian agent an Hungarian who had only declared his intention of becoming an American citizen, whilst here are three dona fide native born American sailors permitted to lay upwards of three long months in a loathsome Spanish prison, during the summer of such a climate as this, and their trial not even begun! It is per- tectly miraculous that they have not, long ere this, been all three carried ‘cif by the yellow fever or cholera, which has already taken off so many within the last three months.

S..N., of the sloop of war St. Louis, As an ex. | Preasion of sentiment from them, and asa tribute to the gallantry of the commander, it will be found very interesting. The original letter acd translation bave been handed to Captain Baurman, command- ing the naval station at this point, to be ansmitted to the officer to whom they are addressed: — [PRANSLATION.) | To Caprarm Ixcranam, U. 8. N., commanding U.S. sloop-of war, St. Louls. Sir—The niagnanimity, herewm and onergy, which you displayed in the defence of Martia Kosata, when, on the 2nd of July, the maligaaut power of Austria had violently kidnap ged his per- son, presented te the world a sublime act of jastive, which cavnot «ail to fill the breast of every man not | entirely dvstitute of human feeling with the deepest | Sense Kf gratitude and admiration. | As s00n as this noble ceed came to the knowledge of the undersigned Hosgarisn exiles, they felt in- | ss red with the deepest feeling of gratitude to wards | its bero, and cannot refrain from giviag words, | feeble thongh they ave, to the expression of their | enthusiasm. |. This enunciation becomes a double duty with us. Pirstly, because Martin Koszta, whose rights and person you have so gallantly protected against the violence of the Austrians, happens to be our country- man. Secondly, because he is one of our brethren, | who like ourselves, have been compelled ; with bleed- icg bearts, tv leave the place of their birth and hap- py youth, deswlate as itis at present by the foulest tyranpy, and to suffer the heavy doom of exile. | ° Your noble performance gives a testimony of the | bigh sense of justice with which you regarded the in | iguity of those persecutions to which the exiles of all | Buropean nations have been heretofore the innocent | Victims. As a noble son and citizen of the land of liberty You are conscious of the truth that the enjoyment of | the 16 preseriptible rights of humanity alone forms the subumity of human existence—tuat this is the only shield under whose shadow a man, however | persecuted by an unkind fute,still feels himself eleva- | ted over the level of misfortune, being conscious taat the law and its protecting power is standing by his side to defeud the rights iassrited by nature herself | upon bis heart. In fact, is there a more paiaful and depressing fecling than that of being innocently pro- scribed and ejected from the sphere of the protection of law and justice’ Alas, sir, even to such a lawless state are we po- litical exiles covdemned by the most unjust and un- | justifiable procedure ‘or havin; ised our | arms in defence of right Dg and just’ce we are driven out beyond the sphere of its protection, and instead of impartial justice we have only to expect either the dubious whims of clemency or the | brutalities of despotista. Within your own free | country alone are we admitted to participate in the enjoyment of liberty as men ; but as citizens are we | stall regarded as nonentitics; and up to the present tive vo one ever had the boldness to unsheath the sword of justice in order to defend the rights of hu- manity, in the persons of exiles, beyond the bounda- ties of the great republic againet violent attacks from crowned heads and their liveried a2complices. Yours is the glory, sir, of having been the first man who, even in a region so far distant from this republic, surrounded by hosts of armed mercenaries, and assisted only by the moral power of a just cause, displayed a rob'e courage in drawing his sword in | behalf of outraged humanity, Your great act will extend its beneficial effects | tothe whole nation of political exi'es, on whom it | will confer new vigor in their resistance to the eter- | palgfoes of humanity. We salute you most cor- diaily, with three times three cheers, Upon the arena | of peut where you performed your brilliant | deed. Receive the affectiovate thanks of a number of men who struggled, though with an unfortunate issue, for the sume cause of which you have made yourself | a successful champion. Our F eepegand expressed in unshilfal words, is the only o! ring. we are able to lay before you; but a | noble mind like yours will find the highest reward in the consciousness of having done a noble act. | which is appiauded by the high-minded and upright of ail nations. 2 Sir, you have stirred up in our bosoms a high blaze, | the fire of hope slreaéy expiring under the ashes world had covered it, and revived again the confi- dence for the final trial of right and humanity. \ tovished world, how the greatness of a nation can | @isplay itself. even by the act of a single citizen, if ie emimoted by the spirit aud energy of his na- | _ Weare confident that your ever memorable deed will not only be applauded all over the world, the | working-shop of political Kuavery excepted, but | entrusted with power, and that from this grain will spring up the lof-y tree of liberty and emancipation | tor the o bo becor people of our native land, as well os forall the nations groaning under the iron yoke of their knavish oppressors. May the Genius of Liberty allow us to behold the cloricus daybreak and the subsequent triumph of the just cause.” Our hearts will turn then with gratitude | to you, the furemost chatopion of the battle, and crown your head with well-merited, ever-green laurel.

As every beginning in Europe is hard and grievous, (as witcess all the philosophers, who, from the creation of the world lll now, are still in search of it,) he believed that here, on the Western shores of the Atlantic ocean, this beginning would be found easier. i Alas! after nearly a month of running, sailing and railwaying, he finds that between toe de; of north latitude %9 and 40, the “beginning” is as difficult as elsewhere, if any one is not accompanied from Europe by a Rothschi‘d, or Baring. orsome such Lord of a ‘strong chest.” Never miud! if the writer ‘Were young and robust, then he had not wasted a sbeet of pace Pee begun like the giant of the Tartarian fields of mythology, by rolling not so much rocks as barrels; dud nevertheless, had not des: of sooner attaining a competence, than the former did to the summit of the mountain. But as he is rather ad- vanced in age and consequently not capable of un- dertaking hard work, he wishes to make the public acquainted with the various knowledge he has picked up during a wandering of fifty years in this world, in order tc be useful to his new father.and. It still remains his intention, it possible, to become an agriculturist, as from his own knowledge, and that of his gallant companion and friend, iol. Ka- tova, a practical and clever agriculturist, they both, by vbtaining from six to twelve acres of ground, could very well cultivate, and perhapsimprove, the older, and Posty establish and domesticate some new products. But if they should fail, with their limited means, then he believed it not improper to state what other qualifications they possess, in order to be useful to the country. As was previously mentioned, they had both served in the cavalry; and particularly by having beeu rs, (who, by their skill and gallautry, are ap preciated throughout the world,) they are acquaint- ed, in the fullest sense, with all relating to the Re pe and scientific treatmentdf the horse, inclaaiag reeding, taming, keeping, and feeding; equitation, driving with two or four horses, bridling, shoeing, veterinary treatment, and so on. It naturally follows, that they can consclentionly, say they can teach, in the most approved method, equitation to ladies and geotlemen. Especially they are capable of teaching and improving sri enolate of the cavalry of the State militia, with an improved mavagement of their hand and firearms. ‘hey could instruct them how to tame and train their younger horses, to ride with more assurance; and finally, im- part the art of teaching others, &c., &2., Such are their acquirements, and they offer them to the Pati of the Uritei States—if, anywhere, either the community, or associations would make use of their knowledge, by giving them the direction of riding schools, or other puvlic establishments, with the necesssry appliances, and the opportunity to put them ia practice. In such a case, they would feel themselves morally obliged to do all ia their power for the prosperity of such an establishment. Tuoy would direct it, at all events, conscientously, aud never desist from working, till they could give it up into better and more skilful hands. Now, every one is entitled to ask, who warrants the truth of the above assertion’ and itis right to doso A fair trial would warrant the half; and if a gocd and respected name, aud honesty for fifty yeara past, might warrant he who has been during that time an honest map, would not easi'y be, for the short remainder cf his life, a rogue—thgn the whole truth of the above will be proved and confirmed.

We asknowledge that we do not receive with indifference this homage | on the part of the Queen of Spain’s. government to | the truth and the severity of the remarks we have had occasion to meke on some of the recent acts of the Spanish authorities; and, as it is not in the power of the Camarilla of Madrid to affect in any per- ceptible degree the influence or the iacependence of | this journal, the formal proscription which the Royal Gazette of Spain has de'gned to confer upon us is recisely the most flattering distinction it could ave bestowed. It has not yet reached us for which of our attempts to eg use base, bigoted and Gishonest actions, which are always so painful to the feelings ofa bighminded and enlightened gov ernment, this honor has been especiuily reserved. But several cases have recently occurred which may | have been thought to deserve it. One day we had | oceasion to comment on a report of the British Heece of Coram. ine sme abhaial omeycontniningy im eenndamaad statement, the sums received by Spain, and the | promises she has broken in her zealous and success | ful pursuit of the slave trade; and we showed that | the largest sbare of the profit and the guilt arising from these infamous transactions may te distinctly | traced to some ofthe highest persons in the king- | dom, who teed their insatiable avarice with tne | blocd-money cf kidnapped negroes. Another day we met the same persons, or their instraments and as: sociates, in another capacity. They arrived, cap in | hand, to practise on thc inexhaustible credulity of | our countrymen, who persist in believing mankind, ané even S anich ministers, to be honest, and are willing, with a litle encouregement, to swell the account of Spanish bonds with a few additional millions for Spanish railroads. That imposture, too, we endeavored tounmesk, and we should not wonder if this turns out to be our gravest offence, for the Spanish government is much more seusitive to our interference with its speculations than to our criticisms on its humanity or its honor. Next came Mr. Soulé’s mission, and the cor- responéence which has taken place with ro- ference to the threatencd annexation of Cuba the United Ststes; for we are alter- nately amazed at the degradation of the Cout of | Madrid in consenting to receive a minister who hes | been seected only to menace and icsult it, and «t the | inconsistency with which Spain atill invokes the as- | sistance of fingland and France to perpetuate her | possession of an isiand which is now the last refage | of the slave trade. Lastly, we learn by Lora Flow- | Cen's correspondence with the preseat Spanish mi nisters, that when Englishmen have been tempted to | Spain to defend her independence by their valor, or | to envich ber by their industry, it is her eetiled poli- cy az é determination to deny them Coristian burial, | and to inflict a last insult on their graves. Practices | of intolerant snyeretition have beeu disclosed by this correspondence which no other Roman Cutbolic | country would now avow, and which even the pro- vincial towns of Spain appear, in many instances, to have cvercome, At Rome, under the Girect authori- ty.of the Popo, a su'table place for burial has ‘ong since Deen set apart for Protestants, and the obze | quies of the dead may be decently performed. In Spain alone those cflices are rigorously denied, and, though the government of Isabella L!. began by plun. dering the Church of its property, it sanctions the | full exercise of the rights of bigotry over the re | of fellow Christians, | _ It can matter but little to the Spanish government | in what phraseology theirconduct has been described by this journal, and it matters not at all to us wheth. | er our opinions are circulated in the Spanish territo- | ries. But we will undertake to assert that the terms | we have applied to these revolting cases are but a | weak expression of what is thought of thom by the great mos the English public, or, at least, by such Dart of the lish public as have thought st all on the subject. The generous enthusiasm, the confiding | delusions, the terrible struggle, the prolonged sacrt. | fices of long Se years, the reviving hopes of another | period, and the triamph of the constitutional cause in | Spain, are still not entirely forgotten by us, though | they are 60, spporentiy, by those who were sup: | posed to he most interested ia the events to which we | refer. But it is infinitely more grievous that | Spain shovld have betrayed her own cause, | and failed in the work of her own regenera- tion, than that she should have added the fault of ingratitude to the long catalogue of her errors and her crimes. She has often had violent, arbitrery, and bad governments, but even their offences were in some degree dignified by the spirit she displayed uncer adverse furtuces, and the pride + which still concealed as far as possible the rain of that old and stately house. The balance of part the rise or fol! of a statesman ora general, and romantic incidents of the revolution still kept alive for some years the interest once so deeply felt. But gradually every light bas gone out, every liberty has been extinguished, every man who had served the crown with honor bas beer dismissed, and the coun- try remains passive in the hands of a profligate covrt and a nameless government. A national en- ergy, a8 applied to tue political condition of the country, bas for s corsiderable time seemed to be suspended, and the obscure persons who affect to carry on the business of the State are neither re- spected in their own country nor heard of in avy other. The existence of such an administration de pend on the total absence of discussion, for, if pub- ic opinion were either enlightened or consnited as to its raerits, the humiliation would be too great to be endured. by one of the abrupt changes which are not un- common in Spanish bistory, and which suit the genins of the people better than a tenacions perse- verance in the arduous duties of free government, this state of things will one day he followed by tho chastiserment it deserves, and it is no part ot our duty to anticipate that event. Possibly in Spain, as ran out its long unprofitable course, which has as yet founded nothing stable or dignified in the seat of government, and conferred little freedom or real advancement on the people. At some future day the elder branch of the royal family may be found to have guived some experience by its misfortunes, or the exhansted race of Bourbon kings will be driven (rom the aol); but, as long ag Spain cemmaing . well as in other conntries, the revolution has till to | what che is, these questions have a very faint inter the a weigh See bes ot or act Upon the general politica of the world, either in A or in The transient coecer which Ni given to the admii tration, the” reforms tetroduced by Senor Mon {nto the finances, aro at an end; people once the wealthiest in the world have ions menaced. they are said, but because they are true, It was lon; the ardent hope of this country, and the constant policy of the British government. to see the Penia- sula reassert all its independence and regain all its power. For no country is be'ter fitted by nature and by position to maintain a clone and advantageous connection with ourselves. But in an age of rapid progress Spain has chosen to remain almost station- ary; in an age of toleration she retains the bigotry of Philip I1.; in an age when public opinion forces its way through all the barriers cf despotic power she does what she can to arrest its progress. We kvow not how far the attempt may succeed, but the more it succeeds the more it cuta off the Spanish bepnle from the intercourse and sympathy the ight retain with the rest of Europe ; and we thall not be surprised cre long to see the country in & condition Mion may cause it to regret the aliena- tion of its oldest friends. Medical Convention, “WHO SHALL DIOIDE WHEN DOCTORS DISAGERE ?”’ About a dozen members of the medioel profession aa- sembied yesterday afternoon at No, 149 Bowery, in com- Piiazce with s call published in the morning papors. When our reporter entered the mesting had not been organized, and thore present were amusing themselves with a promiccuous discussiom cf gthe merit of the va- cious systems of medicine, About aa hour after the time appointed the Chaizman, (Dz. Deaeh,) called the meeting to order, ani then informed the ‘ ‘select few’’ that the committee appointed at the Inst meeting to re- port ugon some plan by which the diferent practitioners could be united in one great body were unable to agree. and that consequently they had no report to present. He t'en derired to know what further action they would take under there ciroumstances, He was of the opision thatthe next best thing was to dissolye, and abandon for the prerent al attempts at an organization, as it had ‘been found imprcaticable. As there were many there who did not like to “ give it up £0,” and as some appeared to think {t was subject which, in the words of King O'Neil, required “a mighty dale of nice consideration,” they went into the discussion of it with much evident gusto, One of the members was 10 unfortunate in the course of his remarks as to give expres sion to some heterod: x opinions, when the Chairman and twoor three of the members put to him “A pure fog, disagresing question, Which grated saaly on his poor digestion.’? A terrible war of words might have ensued upon the knotty point, as to whether everything the stomach re- jected was polson, ha’ not one of the members desired to be informed if the object of the mesting was not to form ® permanent organization, Now this wasa poser, eré the chairman was forced to admit that hey wancered somewhat from the pur- pore cf the meeting. But, alas for human frailty, the admissicn was barely made before the Chair suffered ® zelap In the di-cussion some of ti b- | Rostour systems were siluded to indirectly, in a way which proved that all attempts to unite such inharmo- nions end discordant elements would prove as futile as the labors «f Sisyphus One cf the members, named Dr Larran, sa‘d ho was in favor of sivking all {ams to procure 4 grand union of the Feculty, He was, to use bis own words, ‘in favor of 8 basis as broad as the universe, as deep as eternity.”’ Dr Van Dorn bg ge that the National Society of Medicine, to which be belonged, and which he said had been duly chartered, should meet inthe hall where the precent meeting was held about s month hence and eubmit theiz evnstitution for adoption or rejection By tuis means he thought # junction of the two bodies might be efivoted.

Other leading fancies were comparatively neglected; but the market, oa the whole, 60 far as prices were concerned, was a little more buoyant than at the close on Saturday. The Arotis’a news has not had any material effect on financial affairs, either one way or the other. Our European advices are ebout the same complexion as presented by previous + steamers, and we do not contemplate any immediate change of consequence. The harvests are of cource now the all-absorbing topic in financial circles, and unt that vitel question is settled we must look for slight flao- tuations in secwities and unusual caution on the part | of speculators. Until tbat important matter is disposed of Jater accounts from Europe will be looked for with, mouch anxiety, Eneugh is already known te place it beyond s doubt that large supplies of breadatuits will be required in the Atlantic porta of Europe, add we kncw of no source of supply more favorably Iccatec than this country. We are, toa certain extent, laboriag un- der difficulties simila: to those experienced in the Black Sea—the scercity of shipping, This fora time may re- strict shipments, and strengthen prices in places of com- sumption; but it will not continue long. This obstacle removed, we should soon feel the favorable effects of an extensive demand for cur great agricultural staples.
