—————————— eee Our Cuban Correspondence. Havana, April 30, 1854 Opinions with Respect to the Royal Amnesty Decree—The Caprain General’s Real Interest inthe Future of Cuba— Working of the Emangipado System—Unjitmess of the Negrovs for a Military Life, de. Thad only time fora brief note by the Empire City, yesterday, which was of little consequence, following the full advice of the day previous, per Black Warrior, Which veasel was permitted to enter and clear with sta Gious attention, by the complacent officials of the Custom House The commentary made here by the old Spaniards upon the royal amnesty order, is not very fattering to the nerve of the ministry, nor quite con own self-respect, as long as they love to dwell under the fhadow of royaliy and lick the dust from the foot of the throne. It is supposed here, by those who are aware of the deep sentiment of hatred to the mother country entertained by the refugees in foreign lands, from Cubs. that it will only be effective for the ad- vantage of those who have been constrained to absent themselves from the mother land, and to reside in the colonies, Through its beneficent action we may lose part of the talent now profitably occupied editorial management of the Diario de la Marina, which would be a great loss to the unmixed Spanish race, as that gentleman is exceedingly devoted to that one string of the harp, which is kept in tune at | the expenae of harmony in every other branch of the insteument. Whether negro slavery or negro free- dom is the theme—peace or war—Black Warrior or the gallant dragoon of the Resguardas—Mexico or California —Christianization and civilization or Africanization and barbari-m—Spanish philanthropy, justice, oF hidalgo honor—the rights of man—natural and national law— international obiigation, comity or polity—benevolenco or the lynch doctrines of their neighbors—alike the resulta, alike the root, “the race!’ developing the game fowers and fruit. ‘The race!’ God speed the man it he goes, and keep him if he stays, fur there will need be The baif announced telegraphic despatch received by be Black Warrior, intimating a political disturbance at Jarcelona, has very much excited the curiosity of our Jatalan population, who claim to be the governing unity at Lome, and the $a they are not apt to do iS hear of the us constitute the § wish to have everything their own ithout theni, and no favor to nt in commerce, t ankees, havin, arts, they are ntelligence, enterprise n to the honor: lans determine, under the restraint of us force that cannot be disturbed 0 must be the fate of Spain, or the fate hh has ever been the land of promise to and of reslity to their yenality and Under the present state of political per: 1 impunit ‘uba—whic in Cuba, although they are slow to of long endurance, and mayhap of unchristian fortitude and resignation, they’ pay no omage to the purity of their Queen, and will be ly to side with the oppresse1 of Cuba than with ernment, for the reason that their pecaniary in terests will be better served under a white improved al organivation than under a black brutalized despot- ism that must have its basis cemented with wwhite biood. ‘The order of amnesty was long sipce suggested and commended to the clement consideration and dis- osition of the Queen, by General José de la Concha, be- ‘ore be left Cuba, and, after the lapse of several years, comes to be effective of the grace of his royal mistress, when he himself is a banished subject, for having thought honestly and spo! rthe honor and the prosperity pf the na 4 recommendation been 4 of promptly at the time it was made, the ences would have been a grea’ advantage for the nd quiet of Cuba, and assisted materially in re ing the affection of the island children (of materaal Rolicitude and regard) for the homeland of ‘the race.’? Itia said by persons having intimate relations his vice royal highness that Gen, Pezucla feels very little interest in the future of the island of Cuba; that when he and his brother (political secretary) get through with their speculations in wool and ivory, he will care ver little whether Spain retains it, (he not being pernetnal, or his race, in the government,) or it becomes oversha. Gowed with tho imperial dignity of a huge negro, now boing in the fattening process for the consequential posi- tion, should he chance to live to fill it, and the network policy of the triate advisers of the kitchen audiencia be through the desperate action of their chief. ans of Peaucla are tangible—they are definite—not concealed from the people—only because it would be im- possible; and all honest free negroes and colo! themselves from pursuit as far as pyeating in the streets—absenting themselves from their usual places of labor—not willing to volunteer in de- fence of those who hold their brothers and sisters, their fathers and mothers, in the worst sort of slavery—whe- ther aa apprentices or slaves, they perceive no diiference. They will be ferreted out, ‘and compelled to the service, whether agreeable or not to be so intimately associated with Spanish chivalry, while the aban- “pnd of the class, that have for seats infested the streets oor city are willing to froternize with the military dornments and trappings of our beloved Queen, in he hope to find a good place for safe operations of | funder and murder. It is, however, a work of much yore serious labor than was'at first anticipated on the | art of the government, and not made easier by the inti- tation thrown out as to ghe is and their allies in maintaining the integrity of Cuba and its people to the crown of Spain, them the power to declare freedom to the slaves, aad their arms to secure the result by the necessary massa cre of every white inhabitant of the island.” The poor negro thinks he may not live to see realized the magnili- cent picture traced to his imaginstion—that he will ever be thrust forward in action, for fear that he will ran away, and therefore be tie tirst under fire, white the hasty bayonets of his kind friends ‘in the rear” will neither be ‘ornamental or usefal.’’ I find no one in favor of the Pezucla measure except a few brutes, who have desire for revenge, but lack man- hood todea! the blow. The sentiment of the Spaniards ueraily here is consistent with the national pride aud ¢ national honor, if fight there is to be, to do good ser- Vice 4 brave men and hful woldiers—to win if they can, to die if they mu ‘but not to trust the national fame, the national honor, the national banners, to the vy and soldiership of their servile pulation, as use of them intimates the fact thet the safety of Cubs may rest upon them. The incongruous material thrown iato the intimate relations of soldiership with their white troops might ata moment least ex- pected, utter destruction of agiven position which, with- out reflection, or from the necessity of details for the regular performance and division of military duty, might be entrusted to them. The belief is cert impreased upon the minds of all intelligent Spani hat the cannot stand fire. Those who are familiar from dhood with African eharacter—in his native juny ro at home, where they have helped in his capture—an: the more pavanced. stage of Christian ‘Civilizatign - found in Cuba, where they have held the same subjects for years in bondage, aud where they have known some of their own captives, working through all obstacles, to the purchase of their freedom, and now living in free homes of comfort with large families in Havana, having established segur factories, butcheries, &c.—these per- fons tell me that they know well that the material can. Bot be cultivated to stand the discharge of Grearms. The negroes entered at Trinidad, for remote freedom, as I am advised by R., were seven hundred, in place of the num- ber given in my report. These speculations are entifely under the control of the Portuguese speculators, and the late aales have been made with a handsome return to thp outfitters of the enterprise. The statement as to the landings east of Cardenas, are confirmed. The Cahawba we have been looking for ail day, but she comes not. As ever, yours at command. ;OUBLE. Reception of 1 Eix-President Fillmore at Nash- e. [From the Nashville American, May 5.] Ex-President Fillmore and Hon. J. P. Kennedy, former Secretary of the Navy, arrived in this city yesterday at 10 o'clock, by the cars from Chattanooga, in company with the committee appointed to meet him, viz.:—Hon Warhington Barrow, Col. Willo, Williams, Hon. indzew Ewing, 8. R. Cockrill, R. N. Willi vook, Eaqrs. They were received at the depot by the Committee of Reception, military and fire companies, aid # lange body of Indies and gentlemen in carriages ant on foot, and escorted through the principal streets to tho public square, in front of the Nashville Inn, the presence of a very large aasembl and biae ¢x Gor, Neili8. Brown, in an eloquent and appropriate a4- dress Mr. Fillmore responded briefly and in good taste, ex- Here, in pressing waimly his acknowledgments for the manner of | is reception, and referring in moderate terms to the alla: | sions made by the orator of the day to his administration of the public affairs. Mr. Kennedy also responded in a happy and appropriate style. At the conclusion of Mr. K.’s remarks, Hon, Andrew Ewing was called apon, and male afew apologetical observations. Ater the reception the distinguished gneste were con- ducted to the Nashville Inn, where # suit of rooms had been prepared by the gentlemanly proprietor, Dr. Scott, and where they were called on during the day by large Pops ly ladies and pd ame the evening, at fonr o'clock, a very uous tal read—gi mp in the Doctor's best shyle seer: eae To-day ex-President Filmore and Pisit the Capitol, and receive their friends in the hall of the House of tatives, until 12 0’clock. During the evening they will visit the Hermitage; and on Satur ee leave the city on their return home, via War Sympathy Meeting in Montreal. A meeting was held in Montreal on the 4th instant to Oxpress sympathy with the two great Powers of Europe rho are now battling against Russia. A number of loyal | Byeeches were made by the dignitaries of the city, and he following rosolutions were adopted :— @ Resolved, That at this momentous period, when the | ‘peace of Europe has been broken, and the British domi- tions exposed te the risks of war, it becomes the duty of be citizens of Montreal to express to her Majesty the ‘Qasurance of their cordial and united support in the con- est in which the cote and ine the nations have been Compelied to participate pein aggression of des- potic ambition and intolerant po Resolved, That dul; iy appreciat the enjoyment of tranquillity, and the ble ings of material and abundant prosperity which pervade this Province of her Majesty's dominions, the citizens of Montreal cannot withhold their expression of their warmest aympathy for those of their ‘ow subjects who may be ly engaged in this sortapt and unprovehed contest. ssolved, That while we hambly invoke the Almighty of Universe to avert from this Province the of war, ant to restore peace to Europe, we Imes be realy boldly to repel foreign and un- aggression upon ‘of her Majesty's ‘sad with our utmost peep muito tao yiwbigh ‘Dow telgne throughout this Pro mate intention of the | Fic ip nt, should they fail with the aid of their black | “to give | e, the ex-President | jgnen dis voyage were welcomed to the city by | Mr. Kennedy will | FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL, MONEY MARKET. Wepymspay, May 10—6 P. M. We have nothing new to report in the stock market. There was a slight improvement at the first board in some of the leading fancies, but there was no life or spirit among operators, and we have no idea that any advance can for the present be sustained. Ilinois Central bonds went up 3s per cent.; Harlem, \%; Erie Railroad, ; Reading Railroad, {: New Haven Railroad, 34; Michigan | Southern Rallroad, 34; New York Central bonds declined 2 per cent; Crystal Palace, 12; Parker Vein, 3; Indiana Construction Railroad, 3. The transactions were limited, but as usual operations on time comprised the bulk of business. The decline in New York Central bonds to-day was not unexpected to those who had carefully in- vestigated the company’s finances, and a further depre- ciation is looked for. An issue of five millions of dollars in new bonds will be more than the market can stand at present prices. There is no disposition on the part of capitalists to engage in any new enterprise, or to in- volve themselves in any of those which have for some time past been in the market, and it is this apathy on the part of those who haye heretofore been most prominent in all speculative movements, that has produced such a dull and depressed state of things at the Stock Exchange and in the street generally. It ig folly to look for good news from Europe by any steamer now due or nearly due. | While the war is going on, we cannot expect anything relative to financial or commercial operations in Europe of a more favorable character than that which has re- cently come tohand. In the event of Sir Charles Napier meeting with any decided success in the Baltic, there may be some improvement in the stock market on bot! sides of the Atlantic; but even under these circam- stances, we doubt if it would be otherwise than tem- porary. stocks will not vary much either way for some time. There is not much probability of any improvement, and we do not see how prices for the bulk of stocks can be much more depressed. A heavy, dull, steady market will, without doubt, rule for a time, aud those who are fortunate enough to hold dividend paying securities while those who hold unproductive stocks must make It is our impression that the market value of , renee, three per cent, $2,582 69; in 1862, the Dedham , Bank, four per cent, $8,000. We believe as a general | must be content, and patiently wait the course of events; | the best of their position, and pray for that good time | which has been so long coming. After the adjournment of the board the following stocks were sold at auetion:— $10,000 Lackawanna and Western RR.

Nicolay’s regular semi-weekly sale of stocks and bonds will take place to-morrow, (Thursday,) at half-past 12 o'clock, at the Merchants’ Exchange. Bids for the first mortgage bonds of the New York and Harlem Railroad Company were opened at tho office of Messrs. Blatchford & Rainsford, No. 58 Wall s:reet, at 3 o'clock this afternoon. The whole amount of bids largely exceeded the required sum—seventeen hundred thousand thing, eountry banks are more profitable than those lo- cated in cities. They make fewer bad debts, and their current expenses in the way of rent, salaries, &c., are much hess.

On the other hand, there is an increase in exchange of $336,193, and other cash assets of $287,000. ‘The Bank of Virginia and branches have furnished the following statement of their condition on the 1st day of April, 1854, compared with that for April, 1853:— BANK OF VIRGINIA AND BRANCHES. ‘April 1, 1853.

Under existing circumstances, these prices are very fair, and those who have been fortunate enough to have obtained them, have a good margin in their favor for a rise. When we see New York Central first mortgage bonds selling at 86 per cent, the above salo is as high as the company could have expected. For some days past the money market has been steadily tightening, and con- fidence has been gradually disappearing. Capitalists have Leen afraid to touch anything, preferring to place their funds where they can be made available any mo- ment, to having them locked up in the best security in the market. The election of officers of the Stock Exchange was held on Monday, when the following gentlemen were cho- sen:~-Charlos R. Marvin, President; M. A. Wheelock, Vice President; J. W. Bleecker, Treasurer; B. Hart, Sec- retary; G. H. Brodhead, Assistant Secretary; E. A. Ship- man, Roll Keeper. The only features of interest in the mining world to- day, were the decline in Parker Vein, which sells at 415, and the sales in Georgia Gold, which is in active demand at 1}. There is also a slight improvement in North Ca. rolina, which may be quoted at 2%. The other stocks are steady, as will be seen by the following bids:— Bid. Asked. +27 4) Bid.

It bas given ae- tivity to the shipment of articles required for fitting and | re-fitting vessels, but in no other way bas there been the slightest change. The exportation of specie from this port last week, exceeded im value that of merchandise by several hundred thousand dollars, The dry goods traffic lacks both activity and firmness. Though country dealers are operating with more free- dom, their mevements are not as extensive as usual at this time of the year, nor in any respect equal to what factors were led to anticipate from the backwardness of the business in the early portion of the present season. On this account, the market here is dull and heavy, there being no other demand of any eonsequence to ab- sorb the supplies of goods, which are generally of an indifferent character, or to sustain prices, which steadily favor purchasers. Domestic cottons anda few choice styles of imported fabrie are attracting the most notice. American woollens . remain quiet and languid.

Amoskeag and Hamilton are quoted at 13¢., York | at 122¢c., amd Melrose at 111¢c., but these kinds sell only in a small way. Drills are freely purchased at 73¢¢. a 8¢. for brown, 81,¢. for bleached, and 9:¢.a 93¢¢. for blues, per yard. Duck is im brisk demand and very firm, the stock being rather meagre. Ginghams are not #0 active, at 1134c. for Glasgow and Lancaster, and lle. a 111¢. for Manchester, per yard. Lawns are more inquired for this | week than last, and they command full previous prices. Oauaburges are in larger stock, but eagerly sought after, and unchanged in value. Printing cloths are more sale- able and firm, though not essentially dearer. Prints are sparingly dealt in, at old quotations. The poorer kinds of stripes are in moderate request, at 9%X¢. for Ida and Jewett City, 94g¢. for Portland, and 8c. a 9c. for Tay- jor.
