Editors: —1 have been quite astonished at the programme of political opinions and political purposes, linputed to me in the newspapers, xegard- ing the much talkxed-of annexation of the island Cuba. The prime author of these imputations does not appear; but the editor of the Washington Star takes his place before the public, and of course can have no objection to my holding him: responsible, which do, for the present. When I reach Washington, I shall do myself the honor of calling on the editor, to ascertain the name of the gentleman on whose testimony he has made such unwarrantable use of mine. In the mean time, having a distinct recollection of every conversation on the subject of Cuban annexation, in which I took the slightest part—whether in going from New York to Havana, or in coming from Havana to New Orleane—I bave no hesitation in pronouncing the article above alluded to, whether as rogards the letter, or as re- gards the spirit of the enme, utterly unfounded in truth. | The caitor of the Washington Star, however, may be able to refresh my memory. Twas in Cuba as an invalid, by the advice of my phy- sician in New York. But whilst there I saw no signs of ‘degradation’? or “imbecility”” in the “Creole popula- | tion”? On the contrary, I found them quite ona par with corresponding classes of society in our own and othér countries through which I have had oscasion to travel. Neither did I witness evidence of “ines. ‘acity”’ in those who administor the government? the sland. On the contrary, Ifound them wo" caxeated, | kind and accomplished gentlemen—bie'ity qualified to | discharge their respective duties wit Donor and ability. 80 pa then, from having any complaint to make orainst gither the Ch Liban of Cuba, or the Creole po- | pulation, I take this opportunity to express my gratitude and thanks for the dist ‘ished attentions I received at their hands. If the gentleman who wrote the “private letter’'—who did not come with me from Hayana to New | Orleans, but “went,”’—or the editor of the Washington | Star, or both wish to make out a case against the govarn- ment and Creole population of Cuba, they will do weil to summon other witnesses. The testimony of tho indivi- dual with whose humble name they have taken such in- | delicate and wnwarrantable lberties cannot be of the | least eervice to them, + JCHN HUGHES, Archbishop of N.Y.

In Part Second, Mr, Justice Campbe er the open- ing of the court, delivered the following angouncement of the death of Mr. Archibald Hilton:— ince Icame into court this morning, I learned the sudden and melancholy death of Mr. Archibald Hilton, a member of the bar in this city, My feelings will not allow me to let this bereavement pass without paying this public tribute to his memory.
