Some days before you receive this, you will have heard outrageous detention and confiscation of the American | | steamship Black Warrior, and the plundering of her cargo by the Spanish authorities of this island. ‘A more wanton, deliberate, high handed act ofpiracy was never perpetrated, without the least justification or cause, and entirely upon the principle “that might | makes right,” they seized upon their prey.

Yesterday the same paper stated that it was contemplated to build eight steamships, to ply constantly between Havana, Havre, nt eee ‘pain has endeavored in every possible way for years to restrict the traffic with the United States, and vainly attempted to secure it to herself. | She has levied tonnage duties upon our vessels, and upon our produce und manu. factures, so heavy, that it was intended and conte: plated they would amount to an ontire prohibition. For instance—tho best of wheat can be raised on thia island, but Spain will not permit it to be cultivated, American flour pays a duty of $10 per barrel, this is but a fair sample of what American commerce ha} to contend with here; and, notwithstanding these grea distdvantages, the United States still supplies Cuba with at least one-fourth of all her Sseparinons, and from our natural position and the enterprise of out people we have continued to enjoy the largest proportion of the trafic with the island. ain feels that she can stand this no longer; and En; land, jealous of her rights and the extension of our | pubiie, is willing to join in any attempt to strangle t! | trade and commerce with the United States. his is the true object of her secret treaties with Spain. She cares not a whit for the emancipation of the negro—all her phi- lanthropy and s?mwpathy extended in that direction is the sheerest “humbug,” or else why does she wink at the sham enforcement of her emancipado treaty, and consent to the inhuman transfer of the slave from his old master to the government—a reversal tos new one for seven years longer. Here no one doubts the policy of these governments; here, where facts press upon ui, we can scarcely be mistaken, and the conclusion all are compelled to admit is, uncompromising hostility to Americans and their commercial interests in Cuba. All that can be done will be, and the affair of the Black | Warrior is but the beginning; it is the first attempt of | this new government, and if it is not mot promptly and energetically, others, if possible more’ outrageous, will follow. A year ago the inaugural address of President Pierce, breathing the true American sentiment, struck | terror to the hearts of these people, and they fully made up their minds that the hour of trifling had that the insults given to our flag under Fillmore’s administra- tion must not be repeated, that American citizens must be respected, and for a time all went well; but now, pre- suming upon tho soft shell sentiments of the nt ads tration, they have commenced anew their out- rages, and it remains to be seen whether we shall be farther disgraced before the nations of the world by the weak and cowardly conduct of our chief magistrate, or whether there is enough of ‘Young America’ left to convince this ity, insolent, treacherous ‘‘ Hidalgo,” that there is « point beyond which he cannot f°. ‘The Black Warrior is entirely abandoned by her officers and crew, and in full possession of the Spanish authori- ties, who have already taken about 300 bales of cotton out of her. Part of the crew will leave in the Philadel- phia to-morrow for New York. Fearing that all the facts of the Black Warrior’s case may not have reached you, I will briefly repeat them.

Since the date of our last printed report of the 13th ult., the amount of business transacted has been ex t.emely emall, owing to the scarcity of vessels. £tGaKs have been very dull, and prices are decidedly in favor of buyors. We have not heard of any transactions werthy to be mentioned. Supplies from the country are wradually increasing, and the present stock in the city and the Regla warehouses is eatimated to be about 100,- 000 boxes, against 65,000 boxes same period in 1853.

There is not 6o much excitement here relative to the election as might have been expected. The administra- lion party being afraid to say much about Nebraska, ave Bent none of their men to the stump. ‘The Concord clique did not like tho idea of Mr. Hallet’s speaking at Nashua, and it was altogether voluntary on his part. ‘They say that his speech will hurt them; first, because they have been condemning the whigs and free soilers for bringing orators from other States, and Hallet hols office in Boston. The old national democrats—men who went for the annexation of Texas, and opposed any com- Promise with slavery (and therefore opposed Pierce)— party in 164€—these men are very indignant becauso the administration party is afraid of the question, and, as they say, the Jatriot is endeavoring to blind the eyes of the people to the real issues in the election. Nobody here denies that Pierce made abolition speoche in 1846 and 1847. In one speech, which he made in the town of Epsom, he went farther in denouncing slavery than the anti-slavery men themselves, and it was by these means, and these alone, that the democrats re- trieved the State after the defeat of 1846. hir.

Bullock. As it is important a full and correct account should go forth to the publie respecting this affair, I have been at some little trouble to collect the following, for the truth of which I pledge myself. It has ever been the custom here, to permit steamships having cargo in transitu to “enter and clear in ballast.’ In accordance with another rule of the Custom House here, in ofder to prevent delay or detention to steamships, they are permitted to be “entered and cleared” before they have arrived, and th: Black Warrior was “entered and cleared,” in ballast, two days prior to her arrival—which occurred early on the morning of the 28th ult.—when her captain delivered manifest, containing only « list of his stores, &e., considering the nine hundred and sixty bales of cotton and the few other packages ho had on board, for New York, as had always previously been done, as ballast; however, the newauthorities here appear determined to carry matters with a high hand, for upon the agents of the steamer sending for the ‘Fort pass, &o.,”’ the reply was, “That the Black Warrior was detained by order of the authority of the Royal Ex- chequer.’’ Upon its being afterwards ascertained that the cotton, ke., was the cause of this detention, it was offered, asthe ship had not been twelve hours in port, (qrhich ia the persed fized during which any alteration ot the manifoat. is permitted, ) to alter the manifest. no, coul not be allowed, forsooth, because the ship had already “eleared.’” Aa protest was entered at the United States Consulate, by the agents of the steamer, and an application was made on the instant by the acting Consul to the Captain General, but no benefit resulted ‘berefrom. The Custom House officer threat tharge the cotton, Bullock told him that if Capt. ‘oat I down his flag and abandon - bol oor .” and he thereupon went ” the “Caf Ans a ore for further orders, which having been obtained, he re- ned, and commenced the cotton out of the held, when Ca Dalock causa his flag to ve hauled down, and with his officers and crew left charge of those who had usurped his authori ‘About fifty bales of cotton were di ning, and the ship hat z \by telegraph, and from my letter via Charleston, of the report left 1,650 easks on hand; 650 casks hay rived; sold $00 casks at 13% rls.

Upon the approach of the officer he plated himself ina posture of defence, and a scuffle en- sued, the noise of which attracted a large crowd, who rushed upon the platform. The weight of the people | caused it to give way, and in its falla great number of persons were carried ‘down with it, one of whom, a mer- | chant of Ohio, had his legs broken, and received other injuries, as did some others, but not of so serious a na- ture. The Ohio merchant was conveyed to the New York ital for treatment, and Fenton was taken to the Tombs, where he admitted to Justice t that he had secreted re ges ~ Pa ae has on of gratifyi curiosity. The magistrate Fequired him Yo find ball for his disorderly conduct, and also for assault on the officer. A Disorderly Howse.—The police of the Twenty-second ward, on 81 y morning, arrested.the keeper of a pubiic house in the Tenth avenue, near Forty-third street ; also six of the inmates, four of whom, when taken before Jus- tice Clarke, were sent to the penitentiary for three month: licemen, Charged with Inhuman Treatment @ Prisoner.—Justice Stuart Lesa J issued his war- rant for the arrest of eight policemen of the Fourth ward, named mig McGuire, 1 Bartley, Martin Melnary, Timothy Gleason, John Flynn, Witliam Nei Duffy, and Wm. with ing John Kearney, at the corner of Dover and Water streets, him on the head with their clubs, while under arrest in the station house. Mr. Hadwick and a Mr. O’Bierne, friends of Mr. Kearney, came into the station-houre’ to ascertain ‘the charge preferred against their friend, when a general fight ) and lwick received a blow on the forehead from a club. Kearney received several severe cuts on the head by blows from-the policemen’s clubs. The com- plainant was arrested on last Monday night, and con- veyed to the station house, when the assault complained of was perpetrated.

Butterfield, (the editor of the New Hampshire Patriot, states that he would rather the cun- didates would go for the bill, but he didn’t consider ita futal error if they didn’t. And these candidates will elect two United States Fenators. However, notwithstanding all that Butterfield, or any body else may say about it, thepeople, (mort of them at any rate,) know, that No- braska is the only real issue. Everything else, Muine Inw and all, is swallowed up in it. The Patriot, too, contradicts itself, for editorially it says that the issue is not on the Nebraska bill, while in the same paper its Washington correspondent endeavors forcibly to impress upon the minds of the people the fact that itis the only issue that the people have to care anything about, and that their vote will be considered » vote for or against the bill, as the result may appear.

Last Monday, March the 6th, will fong be remembered ‘The whigs and abolitionists in their endeavors to upset the administration in this State, have imported several individuals from over the border; and in order to under- stand how much effect their teachings will have upon the people, it is necessary to state who these gentlemen 250.at 1934; | 27+ The leading agitator is John P.

Then, if the legislature should be doubtful he ean lobby” for the seat as United States Senator, a position which he earnest- ly covets. Mr. Hale has addressed large audiences in this place and at Manchester. The vote in Concord is rather close chester is whig, as almost all manufacturing towns are Iattended the meeting at Manchester on Wednesday Mr. Hale pronounced an address of an hour and half. I should judge that about s thousand people were pre- sent, including a few women. When the orator appeared there was some stamping of the feet, but no cheers or acclamations. Shakspeare tells us that the nomination of Richard the Third, by Buckingham, was coldly roceived by the citizens of London; but I did not see any of Mr. Hale’s followers throw up their caps, and not one cried out “Jong live King’ (Jack). Mr. Hale commenced by endeavoring to prove that the Nebraska bill was the issue in this election, and quoted from the Union (Washing- ton), which he called the “Westminster catechisni for the faithful,” to prove it. He called the Patriot clique swindlers, and called upon the people to examine their own conaciences, and see whether they could vote for such a bill. One of the leading “hards’”’ said the argu. ment was well enough, but the appealing to people's conaciences in political affairs was “all nonsense.”” Whereupon ® prominent abolitionist remarked that Mr-—— could appreciate an ingenious argument; but as for the matter of conscientiousness nobody expected that from him, as it was woll known that he never had any. The affair created some laughter st the time, and in these latitudes where the people don’t hear many good things, it was considered as a ton mot. After moking his first point—that every vote cast next Tues- day was a Vote either for or against the Nebraska bill, Mr. Hale went on to speak about the merits of tho bili iteelt. ‘This portion of his speech was very nearly, the same as that delivered by him in New York two or three weel , of which the Hzratp published a full report. The ious anti-slaver; ints that he made were coldly received; but when he laid anything against the disturb- ing of the compromise, he was warmly applauded. After Mr. Hale had finished, Mr. Rowell, of Allenstown, a man nearly seventy years old, made a few remarks. He said he had always been with the ‘‘ dimocrats”’ on every ques- tion—through em! banks, tariffs, Texas annoxa- tion, compromises of 1850 and all; but he coulda’t ‘go this ere Nebraska bill.” He had always flattered himself that slavery couldn’t come north of that lino, (36 30), and that he told his son, who wanted to go ‘‘ where there war'nt no slavery,” to get some place north of that line and he would be all right. “And now, (he said,) he’s gone to Minesoty, and he’s doin’ pretty well.” He went On to nay that if slavery existed in this Territory it would stop foreign immigration toit, ‘for you know (he said) them foreigners hates slat worse than the devil— (laughter and applause; Td rather live under the autocrat of all the Russias than under the slave power. (lore cheers.) In conclusion, Mr. Rowell gave them as is last warning the opinfon that the names of whig and democrat could only be matters of history; there would be only two partiee—a slavery and an anti-slavery party. The sentiment of the meeting seemed to be against the bill, though the people were not well pleased with Hale. His intorested motives in appearing here at this time are ap parent to all. Even the children’ talk about it. After this Manchester meeting had dissolved, I noticed a politi- cian of twelve years of sae who had mounted on a settee, and was discoursing to his comrades about ‘‘ Jack Hale.’ He said : “What do you want to believe Jack Hale for? Didn’t he humbug us all the time he was in Washington. Don’t he want us to send him there agin’. But he won’t go! now Itell you that. What does he know about the Constitution—don’t he go with them fellers that says the Constitution isa lie? J tell you what it is, fellers, if you go belleving what Jack Hale says you'll get sucked in— ‘that’s all I’ve got to say about it.’” LT have seen a great many #) Yapkee boys, but this individual, to use ® sporting phrase, he “ knocks the crowd.’” Apropos of new Governor—that is the democratic te for Governor, is having a fine time just about now, fishing through the ice, Yesterday at Simcook, he captured thirty-five pickerel. He don’t seem much annoyed about the free soilers or the whigs either. He is as pleasant a fellow as ever had an hour's in Massachusetts as the day on which there first was clearly manifested here the existence of a new party, and one which, I venture to predict, will have much weight in our local politics, and not improbably make itself felt in matters of a national character. Then it was that the cal arena, and, with the calmness of trae power, gently Wherever they acted they were victorious. Nothing could stand before them. It mattered not a straw how good or how popiilar were the candidatesof the two old regular parties—alins humbugs—down they went, as if they were the most wicked and odious persons in the world. They fell like Apollyon before Christian, as re- corded in the most celebrated work of the late Mr. Bun- an allegorical connection with Yankee politics. In Walt ham, one of the most growing Middlesex towns, the “know-nothings”” carried their whole ticket by a ma- Jority of 275, the whole vote being 560; a very respectable aggregate at a mere town mecting. The fact that they were in the field with a ticket was not known out of their own ranks until a very few minutes before the polls were opened, but what they had been about was pretty well | known soon after the said polls had been olosed. In Cambridge the regular’ whig ticket was knocked into» whole continental army of cocked hats, though Cam: | bridge is a place where an opponent of whiggery has herctofore bad about as much chance of existing as a dog in the vicinity of a sausage manufactory. Perhaps, how- | 446 gth ins ever, the greatest upset that whiggery received was in Salem. The memory of man docs not extend to the time when the whigs had not a majority in the old witch-hang ing town, where Satah used to be so especially busy in the ancient times. Free-soilism in Salem has been next to, nothing, and democracy considerably lose than nothing, as an Irishman would say. To fight the whigs there was to fight against fate. ‘To make nomina- tions in opposition to them was ridiculous.
