NEWS FROM HAVANA. bree Days Later by inc steamship Isabel at Onarteston. By the arrival of the steamer Isabel at Charles- ten, we have dates from Havana to the Sth inst. ‘We have no political intelligence to communicate, and, for the current news of the week, refer our weaders to the letters of our correspondents, pub- Bsbed below. We translate, as a specimen, the following :— UBAN VIEW OF THE ANGLO-FRENCH ALLIANCE. the Diario de la Marina of the 4th of July.) in our issue of the 29th of June, an Pee a FEE from Paris to an = which of the firm determiaation of Teeety, the of the French, to protect of Cuba every attack that may be meseiegen Why 9a emabitions nation. To this we May add, (and we say it with the greatest satisfac: ”» the government of her Majesty Queen upholds in substance, the same ideas as ‘hose of the Emperor Napoleon. The London , in the columns of which are to be found not only Lord Palmerston’s views, bat ‘Wore of the Cabinet's foreign policy, has taken up wartnly defenee of Spain in the question now pending with tie government of the United States, E @né@ complains of the extravagant demands lately | ted to the government of her Mujesty by Mr. | Bus which have been refused in terms no less Beremptory than those emplyed by the North | American Minister in presenting them. Some paragraphs from an excellent article that appeared in the above mentioned journal are worth twamalating. They are as follows :— We can sympathise with the instinct with which our sacientaliy adheres to its possessions, united as they are the great events of the past; butwe observe more aud more powerful motives, increasing with the pores ot this dispute. A complete understanding ox- tH between France and Kngluud witn regard to che y Of jrotecting the Spanish culunies against all eign agg essiou, and, thosgh public a)tention is Axed #3 this moment upon’ another portion of the globe, vo wennet look with indilference upoo the most improrable wesnlts to which this dispute about Cuba may give rise A war between Spria and the United States, in the pre seat crisis of European affairs, will most probably tend tonewand grave complications. France aad Kogiand dmve deliberately resol: ed to sustain the cause of justice in the ol werls, and way Gnd themselves obliged to up: Dek tho same principles in the new. The London correspondents of different American journals, little accustomed to such frank laaguage when alinding to the violated riguts of a friendly nation, have raised a clamor to Heaven against such “monstrous tyranny,” although some have en- @eavored to console themselves with the idea that the language of the Post is nothing but a mere empty threat. Others hold a different opinion; and who thoroughly understand the men who are @irecting to-day the policy of Bugland, have scen a geed augury in these concluding remarks of the same English journal:— Bat would it not be far better to effect an adjustment of this lamentable difference? The point in uispute ia: ‘valves no question ef principle or national policy; it {sa Mere business question of customs dusies and mercantile ‘0 be determined according to the facta of the ase, and one, consequently, whier a disinterested acbl- feator might easily bring to a satisfactory conclusion. We might enter here into a series of arguments wherewith to rebut victoriously the assertions of eertain Anglo-American joarnals—and especially those of New Orleans—with respect to the sincerity of the good relationship at present existing between ce and Exglaud; but as this would probably be Wabor Jost upon them, and as that which interests us most is to know that justice, which is on our side, has found warm defenders in our ancient allies, we lay aside for the moment the subject that has given weope for these remarks. OUR HAVANA CORRESPONDENCE. Havana, July 7, 1854. Buneral Ceremonies at the Interment of the late Mar- quis Duchesne—The Procession—Scenes and Inci- denis—The 4th of July—More About the Gray Bagle and the Slave Trade—Arrival of the Conde de Regia from Cadiz—Markets—Landing of the Slaves, §c. Whe good old Admiral did abuse our Yankee weighbors a litle, which must be attributed to igno- wane rather than an ungentle heart. But I have no @oabt, notwithstanding his prejudice, that he found ready helping Yaukee hand to aid him over Styx —nine times—if he needed assistance in his last w@wait. The funeral took place on the evening of the 4% inst., from the residence of the Marquis Du- quesne, his brother, on Teniente de Rey street, and was attended by an immense concourse of people, of all ranks of our community, with detachments of @@ficers and men from the Spanish and French nav \) ® regiment of Spanish infantry, two com, pies of artillery, and asquadron of lancers. lu the streets thronging the path of the cortege, the predominant color of the human crowd was black, in conformity with the mourning peraphernalia and the solemnity of the occasio.* The body was proceeded by a band of music and escort of honor, composed of the two companies @ artillery, and a detachment of mariners from the Mag ship. I observed at the house, (the last living sesidence of the Viscount—the room where be w jj born and where he gave up life,) the foreign cor. gals, including our own, the aids-de-camp of Gener } Pezuela,the General of Marine, and several other amy and naval officers of high rank, with some of @ar local condes and titled gentry, and sparse qmantity of the admiral’s adopted countrymen, less of his creole brethren. The fa- pera] is spoken of as the most impreasive and magnificient of any that has ever occured here, the Diario de ia Marina; but it was far of toe grandeur and august ceremonials that were paid in oblation to the worth of the gallant but onforiupate Gen. Enna, who was killed at the head of bis division in an attack apon seventy mea of the expedition of Gen. Narcises Lopez. These at- are alway wanting in solemnity here— qrowd have no impression beyond tue show part; in this case, Jack, from the Admiral’s owa or crew, seemed to be perfectly deliztted his part in the performances, while the officers not seem a whit sorry thata brick more was Wwose above them, to make ancther sure step f~ tion. The salutes were most wretchedly gi. Li t Ht @e—four long drawn volleys, after the manner»! | “fire by independent files.” But the heavy ordnance salvos covered all defects, made an open path for the spiritualist: to speculate or travel in. The body was deposited the Church of Saint Domingo, where muss was , the Lord Bishop assisting, for the peace, eee of the departed soul. It is said betrue that Admiral Duquesne a complex Geease, with symptoms of scarlet fever, and that it assumed threatening appearances after an interview with one of the officers of his squa- @ron, in relation to duty, and the present health o! his command. The giving way to his temper sent his soul adrift, which is a pity, as we are informed that there is but little material in the French navy to make such efficiency out of, for the public service, im there Pte emer France will soon find a want for has and all she can borrow. admiral will remain deposited in the church until sent for by his wife, wao resides iu Paris, having ope Your t i ter. out here nan onan ice fire of ; they four! a 4 " raging thelr uational eae in port; and io this Tent ¥ ates at five o'clock, whea ‘was given that the body would leave the resi- Duquesne, all the flags aad shi were dropped 90 takeo in at sun- ken of in the com it; but I do not find accounts of the celebra- that does not show the Le me per British testinonials —— notice or comment. | there wa8 a private dianer given eg Dome p ree genteel the amet which pawed off without anything occurring Yo which the secret police officials could take exce, that one or two of this claas in the victvit) and other fixings much wore paroeable without than with “enunciation.” It seems to be @ we blished fact among the waders ard dealers in African stuck, that the Gray Geiivered nearly if not quite, six haod ed at Ortigoa, and that they have peen duly |, with exeeption of the two hundred eyp- disco by the British brig of war which g estates not gut ander cover of the = seasonably to avuid sles proceeding» 9, fo» mation, and the libel is pssiee t the brig are Ina state already filed against tue ore the “mixed court” of jurisdic There bave beeo no arrests mad @aptain, mates or crew of tue vessel, altho ich they 4 some days in Havana, and from when a So the cree have been already shipped; and it is Je the captain will leave by the first ev Hew York, to seck «nother “carrier pigeon Other bird, for the coast business, to make youd on of the tions that have already been ma.te, | of subjects to fil toe list Ag eo of the late cases at Trinidad, | am ss the British Consul General has beea dv peived—that the boo Bo beer made without the ty of ap ing it with investizgatioa— ‘that the benefits have been derived pre -ise'y a5 viously delineated.

The namber of miserable wretches that just escaped suffocation, to obtain the blessings of Cpavish apprenticeship, in the “ sweet toil” provided for them for life by the abolitienist, Gen.

As for commentary, beyond what it wos impossible to avoid in my previous letters, it is un- necessary now. And I remain, ever truly yours, Nava Mas. Havana, July 8, 1854. Death of Admiral Duchesne—His Funeral Obse ques—Strange Coinetdence--Natural Propensi. ties of the Negro Breaking Out—An Episode in Cuban Life—A Negro Seizing the Horns of the Altar for Protection—The Weather. Tam just out of bed, being a sufferer from yellow fever, yet will not permit the steamer to depart without a letter for the New York Henacp, and my illness must plead my excuse for all imperfec- tions. The latest death of a person of rank from vomito, was that of the French Vice-Admiral, the Viscompte Duchesne, who died on the 3d inst., and whose fun- eral obsequies, for he is not yet buried, were per- formed on the 4th, the glorious Fourth of July—the birthday of liberty! In consequence of the close political connection between France and Spain, these obsequies were a sort of national affair. At 6 o’clock P. M., on the 4th, the faneral pro cession moved from the house of the Marquis Duchesne, in the Callt de San Salvador de Orta. First went a troop of life guards, then the marines of the Span: ish vessels of war, next the dead body, placed upon a “shell,” (which waseoyered with black cloth,) ex- posed, attired in fall nawel uniform, and, thanks to having been embalmed, in an excellent state of preservation. Strange, however, to tell, the body | his fellow countrymen (amongst others upon Fac- was borne by negro servants in tivery. It was fol, lowed by the French 'sailors and oflicers, the Fre: marines, the Freach Consul-Geveral and Freaeu men, then a body of Spanish naval and marine offi ers, then the second in command on this Isl und, hen large bodies of infantry aud cavalry soldiers with bands of masic, bodies of priests, and a lony string of p ivate carriages. The body was carrie he courch of Sintu Domiugo, the Bishop offered rs for the repose of the soul of the deceased, a n high mass was performed, three vyoileys of etry were fired in the air, the bands strack ap ely wir, and all marched home again, appareat- leased with the grand display that had been mide. ns were fired from L’iphigeue.the French frigate, very quarter of an hour from the time of the Vis- compte’s decease until his body was placed in the church, where it still remains ; it is, I understand, to be sent to France for interment. Strange to say, the deceased died in the same house and in the same chamber in which he was born! Who shall say that such things are not fore-ordained ? Amongst the iticidents ot the day or evening, was the following:—The Guardas Civiles were employed to keep off the crowd from pressing too close!y upon the procession, and one of the Guarda Civile preas- ed a negro upon the breast, but uot roughly, whea the negro stooped down picked up a stone and in- flicted a terrible gash upon the chin of the Gaarda Civile. Already the negroes begin to show their evil propensities. Several of them have lately been arrested with concealed stilettos on their persons,and what is to be the end of itall, to us poor white» resident in Cuba, it is not diticult to foresee. y orsnchof usas are alive, will be the slaves, the blacks our masters! {scarcely care whether or not I recover my tgs a illness, furesecing as { do com- jug events, But enough of tuis cient for the day is the evil thereof ; aud now for auother slice of Cuban life. On the 28th ult. an event took place worthy of be- ing recorded. On Good Friday last 4 Cuban Cela der named Louis Corcez, who by showing extra zeo1 for the Spanish authorities, such as informing upon ly sioly, the printer, who was garoted for printing the Voice of the People,) succeeded in obtaining the ap- pointment of Celador of the third district, an ap- pointment worth about ninety dollara per month be- sices the pickings. To recommence my narration after this long digression—on Good Friday jast, Celador Corcez arrested a rangway ne- gro and was about taking him to jail, when passing the church of Nuestra Senora de Guadalupe, the negro made a sudden spring, rushed into the church and wok refuge beneath the steps of the high altar, (during the solemn services of the day,) and where, according to)Spanish law, he was safe from pursuit, no matter how vreat was the offence of which he had been guilty—however, the Celador followed, seized and bound his prisoner and carried him away to jail, to the ntter wement of all present. A representstion was wade to the Bisuop, who first excommunicated z, aud then wrote vo tre civil authorities requesting he might be tricd aad punished to the utmost exieut of the law. A ishop’s appeal never passes unheedet here, and Corcez was tried and sentenced to be deprived of his office and of ever holding any employment ar the government, and moreover, (6% show his sul | mission to the Mother Churcli,) to tie the negro, bs. | > fere entering the charch—on the 2/th alt.—#o talk | with him up to the altar, there to untie the peg | and ask for his pardon—after that to ask the pardsa | of the altar—then the forciveness of tre assemoled priests, and |. of the crowded aswemblagein the church—ail of which was duly ¢one on the 23th alt, | Nor was this all, for as be left the chaveh he was | met by a assemblage of negro boys who hoote1 Our Paris Pant , 18 Juin 1654, Nouvelle Phase dela Question d’ Orient—Inquidtudes du Cabinet de St. Cloud—Situation Intérieure de la Russie--Projets de VU Awtriche—Mbsintelli- gence entre les Représentants dela France et de UV Angleterre & Constuntinople—Coup de Main Projeté sur la Crimée—Oractes des Tubles Par- lantes—Bon Mot de Napoléon II. La question @’Orient qui a tant de fois changé de face vient d’entrer dans une nouvelle phase, par le mouvement brusque et rétrograde de l'armée Russe sur Jaasy; diverses interprtationa sont données & ce mouvement; pour ma part, tous les renseignements que je recueille concordent 4 cette conelusion—que le Czar voyant l’ascendant moral tourner contre lui, la campagne se prolonger sans résultata brillants, a résola par un coup habile de desintéresser I’ Au- triche et la Prusse, et par une concession qui sem- blerait prouver sa modération—de mettre en de- meure ces deux puissances, (au fonds beaacoup plus sympathiques et beaucoup plus lies dintérét et de politique avec Ini qu’avec la France et l’Angloterre,) | de ge rallier & lui, et de couvrir contre les aggrew sions qne continuerontj & diriger contre lui la France et l’Angleterre, disposces trés peu & se contenter d'une simple évacuation des provinces, et qui poursuivent implacablement la liberté de la mer Noire ct le démembrement dela Russie; mais cest 14 ce que ne veulent pas ni la Prusee ni I’ Au triche, et c’est sur Jes divisions des quatre puissances que le Czar spécule, par une manceuvre quia donné aux choses une allure tout a fait imprévue, C’est la le principal sujet de préoceupation da cabinet de St. Cloud, qui est devenu tres sombre depuis quelques jours, et qui s’efforce de faire dire par tous ses journaux, que le nouveau mouvement des troupes du Czar a pour butde présenter le front & l’Autriche, et de se préparer 2 une guerre contre cette puissance. Cette thse est soutenue opiniatrement sur toute la ligne semi-ofiicielle, et avec d’autant plus d’insistance que précisément, on a plutot & masquer la vérité qu’A la soutenir. Ty quelques jours, un chef de mission étrangtre ayant été naivement faire compliment 4 Mr. Drouyn de l'Huys, ée ce que le Czar venait & composition, et de ce que les espérances de paix en devaient renaitre, a trowé ce ministre furieux, d‘clarant qu’on n’ac- cepterait rien, et ajoutant que si ’ Autriche accep- tait, elle serait considér‘e comme traitre; que l’on révolutionnerait contre elle Ja Pologne, la Hongrie, Vtalie, etc., et se laissait aller & un torrent d’im- prudences fort peu diplomatiques. Voici d’aprés des renseignements dignes de foi et qui me sont confirmés de tous les cdtés; quelle est la situation intérievre de Ja Russie. L’aristocratie est mécontente, parce qu’elle est le plus & portée de voir Ja faute; qu’a faite le Czar en s'engageant dans la guerte, et que ses interéts matériels sourfrent du blocus de la Baltique et de la géne du commerce quil’empéche d’écouler lea produits de ses propric- tés; la claase moyenne, les marchands trés peu sen- sibles autriomphe de la foi orthodoxe et qui souf- frent encore bien plus de toutes Jes entraves appor- tées aux affaires, sont dans un esprit d’irritation et d’opposition qui avorsine la révolte. Enfin le peu- ple, aerane et fanatique, est ainsi que le clerge, dans |’enthousiasme de la guerre sainte; mais son enthousiasme se traduit en promenades publiques, qui interrompent les travaux, achévent de ruiner les affaires et génent l’action du gouvernement, s'il voulait reculer ou tempo: ‘ On sait, du reste, tout ce qu’il y a de volerie et de dilapidation dans ce pays, et combien les vices de Vadwinistration apportent d’obstacles au sui la guerre.

M ‘The dalness in the market continues, with » farther decline in prices, Erie declined 4 ; Central 14; Reading 1%; Cumberland %. It is understood that the stock which Mr. Purdy hes bought, and is now unable to take, is being pressed for sale. Until this is dleposed of, the decline will continue. Money remains as yesterday, abundant on prime securities and short mercantile paper, but not to be had at allon second rate collaterals. The Delief that the market will benefit by the Mexican ioan seems to be parsing away, or rather the anticipation of future injury seems to have counteracted the tendensy in favor of a present improvement. In point of fact, no healthy rise in the market value of stocks can be expected until a radical change is effected in our system of railroad financiering. £0 long as railroads continue to borrow money for the purpose of paying dividends, railroad investments will always be bad, and stockholders wil always be victimized. The three great failures which have recently taken place are a substantial proof that our present suffering is duc to that cause, and to that alone. We have had no failares among dry goods meu or grocers, or indeed merchants of any kind; the houses which have stopped payment have been Mr. Townshend, who had been @ buyer of railroad stocks for a rise, and who failed because they fell in- stead of rising; the Sshuylers, who were railroad con. tractors, and who failed because they could not carry the railroad bonds they had received in payment of their contracts; and Mesars. Delaunay» Iselin & Carter, bond brokers, who failed, like the Schuy- Jers, because they conld not carry the bonds they had taken from railroad companies, and agreed to trade off and retail to their customers, Railroads were the rock on Whiek all these split. There is no imperative reason why railroads should be a bad investment. a the con- trary, prudently wanaged and judiciously located, they ought to pay, and some of them have paid, and still psy, a handsome return on their cost. But this bas not suf- ficed our railroad operators, A fatal desire to inflate the market value of their stock has in almost every in. stance induced directors to declare dividends before they were earned, and to borrow money to pay them. The money is not borrowed for the stated purpose of paying & dividend. The pretext assigned is usually the construction of branch lines, the laying of double tracks, or something of the sort; but every one | in Wall street knows perfectly well that the bonds are issued and the cash obtained solely and altogether in order that it may be distributed among the share- holders in the shape of a dividend. There is but one class of individuals who benefit by this system, and that dividend has been paid. all others are robbed by the process. Honest shareholders, who receive the dividends scheme very soon depreciates the value of the stock, and in the market price of their stock. The public are robbed by the enhanced value which constant raflroed loans give to money; thus rendering it a hard matter for mer- chants and others to obtain accommodation, when, with- out this constant drain on the market by railroad enter- except a few sharpers—is a loser by the system, which country. It is time this system should be stopped, and we fancy the rumor that the Reading Railroad are devoting the earnings of the past year to paying,their debts, inatead of declaring a dividend and borrowing money to pay debts. The non-payment of three or four per cent will depreciate the market value of the atock for a time ; but in theend, the shareholders will be gainers by the pursuance of an honest policy. Why does not the New York Central now follow theexample? Why declare 4 per cent, and borrow three millions at one and the same time? The directors of the Centralsay that they can make half a million or more a month. Why not be content with this for the present, borrow no money, and postpone double tracks and new depots till the market is more settled, and money easier to be had? Had the Erie Railroad declared would not now refuse to lend 50 cents on the dollar of its stock ; after their financial operations, it must descend still lower in the scale of securities. Nothing is yet known of the policy which the directors of the New H: ven Railroad will pursue with regard to the spurious certificates issued hy Schuyler. Many people still apprehend that the fraud ot the President will be followed by a further fraud of the company, and that them appeared as valid as any issued by the company, not be verified, and that a)] the stock will be assumed.

Meanwhile, the imports are gradually increasing, and the stocks in the ware- houses are growing larger. These circumstances will re= Move much difficulty io supplying early orders, and will lbewise induce a willingness among holders to meet buy- ers, who may have cash in hand, or be well and fayora- bly known, cn reasonable terms. This can hardly fail ta result in a lively business in the” beginning of the autume months, as purchasers will not hesitate to take hold, im expectation of easier conditions, at a later period. With such primary movements, the fall trade will be natural, and we hope profitable. There was a little more activity in mining stocks to- dey.

In addition to the interesting facts noticed in our paper | of yesterday, with regard to the Harrisburg and Ham- burg Railroad, as directly connected with the interests of New York, we discover one or more matters which are. | equaily interesting to our city. There are two links wanting to connect this city with the Baltimore and Obio Railroad—ihat is, the completion of the Harrisburg Railroad from Hamburg to Harrishurg, a distance of fifty miles, and from Hagerstown, in Maryland, to the Balti- more and Ohio Railroad, which is but fourteen miles; thus forming @ continuous line of railroad for the Cam. berland coal from the mines to New York city, without tranehipment. Als> the connection, at Harrisburg with the Pennsylvania Ceatral road, forms a continuous rail. road to Broadtop’s con! region, ia Huntington and Bed- ford counties, as well aa the coal of the Alleghany Moan- tains, ali of which can be brought to New Yock direr~ | from the mines, placing New York city in possession of an inexhaustible supply of coal. ‘The Cleveland Herald states in rela‘ion to the Racine and Beloit Railroad Company :— ‘We have just heard how the Racine and Beloit Rai Company has been taken in and done for by Wall financiers.
