By the last I have not made any communication, as I do not wish to wear out the in- terest of your readers in the very important matters which must eventually have solution in their judg- ment and their justice; but they must submit to repetitions of the same class of things, of new de- velopement, that they may have all the facta before them when the time comes for rendition of their verdict. I propose leaving Havana by some of the next steamers, either via Charleston or direct, as may prove most convenient, and shall therefore hand youfull accounts of Cuba in a few days in person, having arranged with G. to be here to continue “Trouble” as long as‘‘the lamp holds out” with the unction of freedom, or until I return in the fall, which is tout le meme chose. The cause of this sud den move I find in the fact that I have had some association with ‘‘a forty dollar per month” German, who is now so much given to brandy and Spanish gold that he isno longer worth being purchased from Pezuela, while his facts are getting stale and unprofitable; but the discount from his calculations of pay from both sides will so cramp his feeding and his drinking that it will be best for me to go to Saratoga for a fresco; besides I have some desire to see my friends of the Cronica and one “Peter Hicks,” to introduce him or them more particularly to the acquaintance of “Young America,” of New York. As itis fashionable just now to be taken with a penchant for leaving, I do not know that any other excuse is necessary for de- serting my post, and joining the waar i ciation.” If more is wanted, I must refer you to my German friend, and to a shadow upon the Punta, which, “were reasons as plenty as blackberries in July and August,” it would be Lemons Hes tail them.

Indian Depredations—Our Army on the Rio Grande —An Appeal to the War Department—Newsfrom Mexwo—Arrival of the Bishop of Monterey— Some Account of the Bishop—The Lone Star Or- der, §c. The numerous deprédations a0 recently commit- ed by the Indians in this section of the country, from the banks of the Rio Grande to within forty miles of Corpus Christi, which is the headquarters of this military department, have caused the most lively sensation, and our citizens, in sympathising with the friends and relatives of those who have lost their lives and property by these wholesale out- rages, cannot forbear giving vent to their feelings —expreasing themselves in no measured terms against the culpable negligence of the general gov- ernment in not protecting this frontier as its inter- ests demand. The fact is, that the force at present stationed on the lower Rio Grande is not of the nature calculat- ed to protect it in an efficient manner, and it is high time that those in power should cease in their miser able, nauseating intrigues for office, and attend bet- ter to the interests of those who sent them to Wash- ington to protect their interests. The murders and robberies herein mentioned are said to have been committed by the Lipan Indians, who are under the immediate protection of the United States government; and such is the state of feeling now existing, that, unleas the government acts promptly and restrains with an iron hand their criminal conduct, our citizens will take the matter in hand, and punish these government pets in the most ext manner. Our neighbors, too, on the other side of the line, have suffered by the many outrages recently com- mitted by the Indians, who, after going to the very oe of iterey, advanced on on the Rio rande, and d several persons within a few bse joe ee the Bh inka ae Mexicans, , a8 you may be aware, have roteges, com- the fazaous Wild’ Oat and lis band, who, give proof of their gratitude forthe toleration they ive yr the are treated with, by killing and reeng the very people whose con! ce they so cri ly abuse. As to politics, things on the gpposite side conti- nue in statu quo, as nothing positive is kaown from the interior of the country as to what may have recently taken place in and about Acapuleo. Some accoun' resent Santa Anna as having been vic- torious, and others, that he has been compelled to raise the siege of Acapulco, and to fight desperately to keep Alvarez and Pintos from surrounding hin. latter is the most probable, and I am much mistaken if, during the present season, Santa Anna can hold out against the indomitable chief of Heit wed sotaral o Menton, leaning tea menagreese an co, @ mal of the campaign to his soaplock Heutenants, who will have to bear the blame for not doing what the compet himself failed to accomplish in person. it as excitement is the very existence of our amiable neighbors, the want of political news is more than made up by the presence of the Bishop of Monterey, who arrived at Matamoras on last Sunday. population turned out en masse to re- receive him, and many went several miles out of the place to meet and receive his benedition. He was received with the greatest pomp and enthusiasm by the civil, military, and ecclesiastical authorities, and the incessant ing of the bells, with the military uniforms moving in the van, strongly im- pressed you with the fact that Mexico’s two great- est curses—the drum and the bell—were what now rule in poor, enslaved Mexico, The is a man who belongs to the liberal school of politics, is under forty years of age, ranks high as a man of attainments, and is represented by all who know him as a pious, moral man, in’ every respect worthy of the office he now holds. Yesterday he paid our Catholic church and convent ® ghort visit, and was received by our population with laudable respect and deference. Lodges of the “Lone Star of the West’? have been ips army on this whole line, and the order takes a bly with all classes of ‘our popcletion. If it is as popular elsewhere as on the Grande, it will soon be the most popular institution “‘ ever known in the tide of times.” It is decidedly popa- lar with all who go in for extending the area of freedom; but I observe that the partisans of absolu- tism and “the divine right of kings,” are “ down upon it like a thousand of brick.” ‘The unprotected state of the line on this side, and. the unsettled state. of affairs on the other, render mercantile and other operations somewhat dull at present, and our citizens anxiously look to the go- vernment for that efficient protection they have a right to demand. Our city continues to improve gredually, and the crops on the line are generally promising. Adieu! Rio Bravo. Our Florida Correspondence. JACKSONVILLE, Fla., May 29, 1854. Sanitary Report of Jacksonville—The Nebraska Triumph—U. S. Charge to Buenos Ayres—Whig and Democratic Candidates for Congress—Who will be the next Senator? Reports having been extensively circulated of the existence of that loathsome disease, small pox, in thia city, it affords me gratification to announce that the contagion (let it be called what it may) is rapidly abating, there being at the present writing but five or six cases in our midst, and those are pronounced out of danger. Persons may now visit our city with perfect safety. The scarlet fever has also become entirely extinct. Jacksonville may therefore be considered as having resumed its former degree of health, than which there is not, generally speaking, at all seasons of the year, a more healthy city on the con- tinent. The gratifying intelligence reached us yesterday of the passage of the Nebraska bill in the House.

Our Washington Correspondence. Wasurneron, June 7, 1854. ‘The Results of the City Election—John W. Maury —The Mayor Elect: his Occupation and Qualifica” tion—The Secrets of the Election Revealed—The Effect of the “Know Nothing’ Party. §c., &. The regult of the recent election in this city, in ite general effects, extends far beyond the narrow limit of the city; and, desirous of spreading the facts before the American people, I have concluded to address you, your paper, from its position and its enormous Circulation, and its devotion to the beat interests of the conntry, being the proper channel of communication. John W. Maury, the defeated candidate, and who has beon Mayor for two years, is a gentleman of | good judgment, of agreeable and urbane manners, | with a large interest in the welfare of the city, being worth $500,000, much of it in real estate. All admit the efficiency of his administration; as an example I will state that on Sabbath, but two places in this city can be found where a glass of liquor can be had, and by eleven o’clock every night each eating house and bar is hermetically sealed. In religion he is a strict Episcopalian, and in poli- tics he is a democrat. Mr. Towers, the Mayor elect, is a respectable man, a printer by trade and Se EB has been for two years President of the of Aldermen, and will doubtless make @ good Mayor. | In the main features of the election neither candi- | date was @ participant; it was the result of the action of a secret political society called Know Nothings, and the belief, with many, that Mr. Maury re to be the candidate of Gen. Pierce’s adminis- tion. For some cause unknown to the uninitiated, was selected by this society as their candidate. They commenced by publishing an arti- cle signed ‘A Catholic,” charging. Mr. Towers with being the caudidate of the Know Nothings, and cailing Catholics and naturalized voters to support Mr. Maury. This had its effect, and that class of citizens believing the statement, rallied Mr. around Mr. Maury. A story was then fet up that ‘Archbiahop Hughes came and that the Catholics should support Maury. Then followed a statement that the Secretary of the Navy had isaued an order that any employer at the Navy Yard who was a Know Nothing, should be dis- charged, and the test was to be voting for Mr. Towers. And yet again it was circulated that some administration members of Con; had asserted that if Maury was defeated, they would not vote another dollar for the District. ‘The religious question was generally believed, and that to such an extent that the Methodist, as a church, voted in a body for Mr. Towers, solely on the ground that it was a question, not between Maury and Towers, but between the Church of Medal Se ial eng wore app and nat ‘were a to; and, before the election, it became evident that it was purely a native American and Protestant ques- tion on one side—yet, with all this, the English naturalized citizens, and all the German free think- ers, voted for Towers. ‘The fact is, adroitly managed, it is another vic- tory of the principles of ‘‘ down with foreigners and Catholics,” which the Know Nothings advocate, and as such has been and will be received. But this is not all—it is the commencement of a move- ment to disintegrate the democratic party ; for, it is @ pregnant fact, that in all the eletions where the Know Nothings have triumphed, their candidate has been a whig, never a democrat.' Iam a native American, a Protestant and a de- mocrat, and not a voter or participant at or in the recent election, yet I cannot shut my eyes to the fact that the final triumph of national and religious intolerance is more threatening to our institutions than would be the complete success of Gov. Seward and all the abolition fanatics, JEFFERSON. Our Pennsyivania Correspondence. AtueEns, Bradford Co., Pa., June 7, 1854. Politics—D. Wilmot—Nebraska Meeting—Farm: mg Prospects—Completion_of the North Branch Canal, §c., §e. I write you from a small but flourishing town in Northern Pennsylvania, situate at the junction of the Chemung and Susquehanna rivers, formerly known as Tioga Point, but modern date distinguish- es it by the more classic appellation of Athens. The political excitement that was caused by the abolitioniste upon the introdaction of the Nebraska- Kansas bill, is fast dying away. This being the home of Wilmot, of “ proviso” notoriety, we are brought, consequently, into the very not-bed of abo- jitionism and demagoguism, and upon his discern- ing the washing away of his political foundation, he and bis organ, (Bradford Reporter, Towanda, Pa.) were not idie during the agitation of that question. They sought by intrigue and deceit to fan and keep alive the tlame upon which their highest hopes aud fog meetings, mating stump. speeches, publishing meetings, ng stum ul fiery editerials, Gc, Xe; but as fate wold, have is his mcetings did not exhibit that complement of numbers that was wished, and his speeches and edi- torials were not received with that gusto that was anticipated. It is currently reported now by the leading Whigs of this region,that he intends support- ing Pollock, the whig candidate for Governor, this coming election. The re-election of Governor Bigler at the coming contest is considerdd safe beyond a donbt; although the whigs are using their utmost exertions to brit about a reconciliation between the free soilers au their own party; even if they accomplish their urpose, no fear of Pollock’s being clected is appre- Beaten: Coalition and reconciliation are traits pe- culiar to the whigs, and one great reason why the democratic party has maintained its ascendancy, and always will just as longas the whigs evince that want of confidence in themselves and the principles they profess to avow, and justas long as they endea- vor to form alliances with the different cliques—and especially free soilers,orabolitionists,—for so long will they oo traitors in their ranks and remain in the minority. A ares and enthusiastic meeting, endorsing the aeage of the Nebraska-Kansas bil, was held at ‘owanda on the 26th ult., when resolutions, signify- ing their approbation, were passed. Wilmot’s organ undertuok, by publish! ® lengthy bariesqne, to make it appear differently from what it was, but failed entirely. The interest that was manifested at the mecting told but too well that the final passage of that bill meets with a hearty response from the masses. The farming interests in this region are really flat- tering. Wheat during the winter suffered consider- ably, but what survived looks remarkably well, and the prospect is for a good crop. Grass looks pro- mising; other crops promise a fine yield, and the farm- ers ere anticipating an abundant harvest. Fruit of all kinds and of every possible description that flour- ish in this climate, promises abundantly for the coming autumn. 2 On Friday, Jane 2, the first boat the North Branch Canal, from this place, left tor Pittstown, de- signated by the ap] nate title of General Clover, owned by C.

Fnternal Improvements— The 1» Hee There was a meeting held yesterday in the City Hall, for the election of President and Directors of the Fredericksburg and Gordonsville Railroad, which is now being constructed. Peyton Conway, Esq., was elected President of the Frederickaburg and Gordonsville Railroad yesterday, and John 8. Caldwell Secretary and Treasurer. The excitement which prevailed here during last week in relation to the Boston riot has subsided, and the sober Virginians laugh at the foolish speeches of the Northern fanatics. Our old town, which for a long time has been ly- ing dormant, is now looking up. The Rappahan- nock river is now being turned over the high banks on Sophia street, and we hope soon to have a water power equal to any in the Union. M. Sweden and Russia. The Stockholm Aftonbiad, the organ of the intel- ligent Swedish middle class and of the bankers, contains the following remarkable article:— In consequence of the complications between the Western Powers and Russia, called forth by the Sub- lime Porte having declared war against the Czar, Sweden and Norway issued their declaration of neu- trality in case of a maritime war in the Baltic. Since then matters have changed. The secret cor- respondence between the Russian and the British Cabinets has been published. The ambition and ra- pacity of Russia towards her neighbors have been py ME NR does , atte tier 2 ‘ainst ism, of om noble heart beats in the breast and a deep thought fills the soul of the Western Powers. The following questions present themselves to us: We, Swedes, in our remote corner of Europe, it we to draw the sword? ‘The answer to this qu 0 belongs to those who stand at the head of affairs, and whose glance freely penetrates even the widest political horizon, But the other question—could we, if drawing the sword, and although left to our own resources, could we defend our country? this question ought not to be doubtful to any Swede, in spite-of the Svenska Tidningen’s (the Co of the aristocracy) talk of a frozen Gulf of Aland. We will endeavor to throw a light upon the mili- tary strength, not of the united kingdoms of Swed- en and Norway, but oxly upon that of Sweden, up- on the possibility of our appearing on the opposite Bide ofthe Baltic, and especially upon the eventu- ‘ality of a Russian army’s marc! across @ frozen Gulf of Aland. deoreding. to the budget, the Swedish army upon the war footing consists of 85,000 infantry, 5,564 ca- valry, 4,416 artillery—total 94,980 men. When to this is added the militia of Gothland, 8,000, and the reserve, 13,000, we have an army of about 116,000 men. Of this force, 60,000 mone be employed out ofthe reelm. The first line might be composed of old trcone, the second of recruits. In the depots, < oat Crp tte for oll ae we acknow! it grants and a vigorous mi- lit activity in the magazines and workshops would be required for fitting out so considerable a force with the necessary matériel; that great zeal and order would be necessary on the embarkation of troops at Hernosand, Gefle, Stockholm, Westerwik, Carlecrona, &c., in order to procure the vessels required for such operation. But we affirm that in three months, viz., at the end of July, the expedi- ign might be ready. Now, 60,000 men certainly would not be a sufficient force in Finland, but if an auxiliary force of French and English join us, and if we are furnished with supplies for carry- ing on the war, one hundred and twenty thousand men marching against St. Petersburg would be a very respect » nay, a terrible force, now that the Russian troops are dispersed over Asia Minor, on the Danube, on the Austrian frontier, and in Po- land. Moreover, it would be a much easier task to Jand 60,000 English and French on a point or an island in the Finnish Gulf, to combine there the Swedish, British and French treops,and finally from there tosecuie @ solid basis of operation on the continent, as near to St. Petersburg as possible, than to send a larger force a longer way from France and England to Constantinople. A mumber of vessels, to the burden of 9,000 tons, are required for transporting three months’ provisions for 120,000 men; the same quantity is wanted for the transport of 20,000 horses—tutal, 18,000 tons—a trifle for three maritime powers. The victualling of the army would be casil; path few bf 50 or 60 or- dinary merchant vessels, without ‘ing into ac- count the provisions which might be had in Russia itself. The marching of ler Russian detach- ments in our rear, in a country so full of difficult pasees as Finland, does not signify much. Napo- leon never feared a weaker enemy in his rear; he proved at Marengo how a whole country may be taken by one march and in one battle; at Hanau, how a feebler enemy, being in one's rear, may be outmarched. An expedition against St. Peters- burg is directed against the very lungs by which Rureia breathes the air of Europe. Even in case of a defeat, we are far from being ruiped. Suppose we are left to ourselves, that the winter co} cts a bridge to our coasts, that a Rus- sian aimy marches across this bridge, and finall that only 20,000 men return of the 60,000 whic! went to Finland, we still Cerys an army of 54,980 men, besides the militia of Gothland, for the defence of this island, the reserve, and the Norwegian Soe. Russia cannot undertake an attack upon Sweden with less than 80,000 men, and 6,400 wagons, each drawn by two horses, are required for the transport of one month’s provisions for this army, beside t:e train of artillery, hospitals, &c. A Russian expedi- tion against Sweden could not be effected from the Finnish coast except in the beginning of Januat and February, when the sea between Aland an Finland, called Skiftet and Alandshav, is frozen over. But such an expedition, with euch a train, has never taken place, and never will. When in 1809 the Russians marched over the Alandshav and Quarken, they went in small columns, and the de- tachment which arrived in Umea was nearly de- stroyed by cold. The sea is only covered with ice during one, seldom two months; this time past, the Russians would not be able to get a piece of bread or a single gun from their own country. But, after all, it is not in the difficulties connected with an at- tack upon Sweden that we ought to rely: it is on our own courage, on the discipline and valor of our troops, on the copious supplies of our arsenals, and especially on that developement of a free and inde- pendent national spirit, without which even the bree plentiful material resources always prove defi- cient. British North America. [From the London Times, May 24.) The progress of the British North American colo- nies has aie been illustrated by returns just is- sued of the immigration of the om year, and the continuous demand for labor. It appears that, not- withstanding the current to Australia, the total arri- vals in Canada from Europe in 1853 were only 64 per cent below those of the preceding year, the numbers having been 36,699, against 39,176. Of this number, 18,972, or rather more than one half, were natives of Ireland, 4,913 of Scotland, 3,928 of England, 3,135 of Germany, and 5,123 of Norway; while the remaining 628 were from Holland, Sweden and other places. the Irish emigration the num- ber of f preponderated in aremarkable degree over that of males, the difference being more than 18 percent. This fact is attributed to the shipment of young women from the poor unions, coupled with the extent of remittances from settlers already pros- erous, to enable their wives and sisters to join them. f the entire number of 36,699 immigrants, the ortion that remained in Canada was 25,195, while 11,504 passed through to the United States, nearly the whole of the Norwe, arrivals having been among the latter, owing to the difficulties the: experienced from ignorance of the lan; » whic would be obviated in the United States by their avail- ing themselves of some extensive settlements already speed by their own countrymen in Wisconsin. ‘Their habits of industry and general suitableness to the Canadian climate caused their departure to be regretted. About two hundred, however, were in- duced to accept railroad employment at Hamilton, and it is hoped that these may form a nucleus to in- duce others for the future to become settlers. With regard to the general health of the emigrants of the past season the accounts are satisfactory. The total mortality was only 0.81 per cent, and the alight ex- cess which this shows over the previous year is at- tributed entirely to the unusually protracted pas- sages to Vad several vessels very £ 4 a, the average number of days occupied by vi it from all parta ‘of Europe having been forty-eight against thirty-nine in the previous year. The number of ships wrecked was four, involving a logs of 317 lives, and the instances in which risk and discomfort were found to prevail were mostly those in which iron formed the chief part of the cargo—a fact that his led to the suggestion of some regula tion being made to prevent vessels conveying pas sengers from carrying more than a certain propor- tion of dead weight.

EIGHTEEN HovsES DesTRoyED ! fe the Pittaburg Post, June 7th.) One of the most destructive fires that has occurred in Allegheny for years, broke out last night about eleven o'clock. It originated in a stable immediately in the reaz of Carson’s tavern, on the south side of Diamonds and spread with such unexampled rapidity, that in a few minutes all the houses ing were in flamese The tavern, which was connected with the stable by means of a lot of wooden sheds and fences, was burned down in almost a moment, the people hardly having time to get out, stasvaee in the house being: consumed. It next spread to the tavern kept by Mre is ilar? ti Federal street, the rear of which adjoine houee tavern, andl jaable farniture, whioks ‘was mostly destroyed. The amount of the los we could not ascertain. From thence it extended itself Federal street until it reached the corner ot the Dinsomae t destroying in its course the hat store of J. Wilson, the clothing store of Klee & Kaufman, J. Miller’ site Sen & dry store toP. Meers, W. H. McGee's clothing store, J. MoGretty's more, clothing store, and Morris & Patton’s which, with all their contents, were mainly destroys ed. The grocery store of J. Sterrett, Mor- ris & Patton’s, was also considerably ; and the dr; ds store of A. A. Marshall, on the cormer ot the ond, was injured to some extent. From the stable, where the fire first originated, it also spread in a northwestern direction, suming nearly all the houses on the south the Diamond, be:ween Federal street and alley. The firet house burnt down after the tion of Mr. Carson’s house, was the literary of T. Vane, the entire contents of his store, with all the furniture im the upper part of the being destroyed. The grocery store of J. Ralston, in which family resided, next came in the way of the devour- ing element, and in a few moments the whole baild- ing, including furniture, stock of goods, and every- thing else, was entirely consumed. The flames were next communicated to a stov® stose occupied by Mr. R. P. Smith, which was ealy partially destroyed. The two houses adjoining the stove store, owned by Mr. Blair, aud which were 06- cupied by himeelf and a lady named Fairfield, were the next ones attacked by the flames; but by time the firemen had succeeded in checking the fire 80 much a8 to partially save the hou-es. ‘The cabinet warehouse of David Neehouse was Hie ef also on fire several times; but was put out without & great deal of damage.
