Narrow EscArs.—On Friday afterncon, when the ex- prese train from New Haven arrived withia about a mie of Fairfield station, the lk comotive came in contact with a loaded wagon of a farmer, wno was crossing the track, without having heard tho belt which was ringing, or the noise of the wheels. The wagon was struck near the bind wheels, and was instavily smashed in pieces, and, wih the grain with which it was loaded, was scat- tered along the track for many yards. The hubs woro knocked clear from the spokes and tire, no part being loft upbrken. The most singulur part of the aifair is that amid all the confusion of such a sudden and powsr- ful collision, the driver of the wagon did not réceive a scratch. Among providential escapes from what would avyear to be almost certain death, this c‘rcumstance is one of the most curious.

SUNDAY MORNING, AUGUST 13, 1854. vur Havana Correspondence. Havana, July 31, 1864. The Government and the Slave Trade—Englund, the Local Press and the Africanization Scheme— A Government Order—Husting Royal Negroes ~Tade Riport—Rate of Exchange. Since my last by the Empire City, we have had something of the “tem, est in a teapot” line—a great deal of agitation of the * small fry" of ourso ciety, for :esson of some things done and seme oth- er things not done, to snit precisely the demaads of exceeding excelleacy, in a small way. And J have made it a ru'e to be very much more careful of what I say than I have been partionlar to run a'ter to find out what people may say of me or my doings, for which reason I have always avoided disagreeable eelf reflection. I¢ ia not my intention, however, to resd a homily, or force uthers to read ove for their own benefit—as they are quite sufficiently edified by my fats and delineations, if they will give them a little kindly at- aitention. But | am led to thia sort of ogotistte in- ‘reduction by the editor of the Diario dela Marina, upon the subject of Africanization, and by some- thing else of the same sort of self-complaent at- tack and defence from an unexpe ted quarter, which, although not of ixterest to me, I couti not hop thinking migit have been saved to blushing ingenuousnesa had my rale been borne in mind of the candidate fur ——— fortune, perhaps; and may it he granted him, as he may deserve. With the common conversation and talk of the town I have very little to do, and never give it attention unless it comes in confirmation of thiogs of better derivation; wherefore I shall not de- tail what bas been gathered and thrown into my ears of a personal nature, for the reason that the action doe# not spread its ring beyond our locality, and therefore can find no sympathy or in- terest ip yours, As usual with the editor of Diario dela Marina, when devoting himself to grave matters, he mysti- fies so much with his dignity and transcendental apalytix and disquisition that it is impossible to tell what-his sentiments are on the integral parts of bis subject ; while for the whole it is Spain and nothing else,always reminding one of Don Quixotte and Rozi- nente, with Sancho at the end of ad line for glori- fication. In the article to which I your present attention—issue of yesterday, 30th uit.—tbe fault seems to be in misapplication of terms, and want of understanding of the subject which he attempts to refute. The language is intended t> impress the minds here of thore who are eminently interested in the stability of a good government, and wao are feariul of this for the reason that they believe the policy guiding ic is fraught with evil things, and that the tendency of those evils, or of such policy, is to render Africanization of necessity, not of "i on the part of their Spanish rulers, save upon a “ contingency” tbat may never occur. They do not charge the government with matice aforethonght, reparing wholesale butchery for them, bat they ieve that, blindly following the indications of British policy, and sometimes in eager zeal to show sincerity that has no existence save in the dire necessity of selt presetvation of the crown jewels at M |, baving gone far beyond Lord Howden's dresm, will ead inevitably to such result, the government can convince the people bere that England has no interest in the mad sctiemes which are being plastered upon the social and volitical organization of Cuba, they will be much mere contented. They have no objection to ‘cessation of the infa- mous traffic in Africans, or slaves, bat they do ob- ject to the equality of rights, which bas been forced upon them, and all the piteous whining and misera- be tergiversaticn end contradiction with which the mater.) interest is interlarded, does not convict their reason of ber sincerity or of its propriety. They want no marriage justified by law between themscives and their negrses; they do not like to see other arms than case knives in the hands of their neople, as they believe it subversive of subor- dination and the discipline which should mark the difference between the races, which all aye vious law bas carefully traced and defined ia a way that would be utterly inconsistent with marital rites and obligations between the two. ‘We have alsoa very important order issued by General Pezuela, on the 28th inst., published in the official Gazette of the 29th, and in the “ (nario de la Marina," of the 30th, offe inducement for the apprehension and delivery of Bozal negroes who may be concealed in the woods, on acccuat porects by the officers of the munici- al jurisdiction, in the vicinity of places where Thndings have been recently effected, which may poesibly be the means of ig some of the poor wretches to the doubtfal biessi of ap; renticest ip. to be $10 for males and 36 for women and chilaren, to be paid out of funds belonging tothe emancipados. It is re- presented to the Captain-General that a t many of these Africans are concesled in the woods by the speculators; that hovest planters have refused to give them hiding and cover upon their estates, &c., which is humbug; the pegroes so reported by sab- alterns to ccncesl their own participation in crime, are already in the field at work under ieee § There may be a few now and then con-:ealed, wait- ing a convenient moment for movement to an estate too remote t> be approached until tae whole line for the night marches # prepared and , and some of these may be picked up under the pro- virions of this order.

Thp gatite ere suteriny THE ISLAND OF TARAKAY OR SACHALIBN, Propared under Direction of the Sen etary Of tme Navy m 1852, tor the use w Oow- mander Ringgoid’s Expiostog Expe@tcve— The Aino Language, ny Anson Huiyht Pelmer, Tersk»y is usually represented on the maps aud dee ribed in geographical works as Saghaliea. By the aboriginal innabitants,—the Ainos—it is .alled Sandan; by the Manchus, Sayhalien angabata— “ The Island of the Mouth of the Black River”—be cause itis opposite the mouth of Amoor; and by tie Japanese, Oku Yeso, “ Further Yoao,” Tchokay, Ciish and Kerafauto. The Cuinese call the natives Olunchun, Kooyeh and Feyak. In “ Gras‘er's General Des-ription of China” it * called Saghslisn Oola, and he states that the only knowledge the Chirese had of it was derived f: om the Katcbeil tribes inhabiting the banks of the Awvor, near its mouth. In his maps of China, Chi- nese Tartaw, and the coustries conquered by China, Tarakay is described as Saghalieu-oola nata—‘‘[nand of the Blank Riveg’’—belenging to Russia. This island ia situated in the Norchera Pails, and extends from south of 46 degrees to 54 degrees 60 minutes north latituie, and between 142 and 145 degrees east longitude, along the eastern coast of Muncboria, with which it is convected, near 51 degrees 30 minu:cs, by a sand bank, or low narrow neck of land, separating the Gulf of Tartary from the Gulf of Suaghafien. The latter is a circular basin, fifty miles wide, which receives the wa’ers of the river Amoor, and is called by Kruzenstern the Limeau of the Amoor, having,its outlet in the sea of Okotsk, by a chaa- nel about five miles wide, near the north part of the island. On the southern extremity it is di- vided from the Japanese island of Yeso by the strait of La Perouse, about 18 miles wide, and in which the tice runs with great velocity. It is near- ly 600 miles in length, and varies ia breadth from 2% to 120 miles. In 1643 two Dutch vessels, the ship Kastrikam, commanded by Marten Ierrets Devries, and the yscht Breskens, under the command of Hendrik Cornelius Schaep, were sent by Anthony Von Dieman, Governor Generel of Batavia, to explore the northern seas of Japan, avd were the first Eu- ropean navigators that visited the island. They supposed it to be part of the continent of Asia, and described it as the lana of Yeso, or Eso, the name originally given to all the islands lying betweeo Kamschatka and Japan, and they called tae Kurile Islands ‘ Company’s Land.” They discovered and named Auiva bay and Patience bay. Tae natives were friendly and hospitable, exchanged their furs, fiah, oil, &s., with the Japanese for cloth, trinkets, &.; wore valaable silver orna- mente, and informed them there were several mines of that metal in the country. By the Japanese and Chinese accounts, it would appear they bave avery imperfect knowledge of the island, which does not form a part or dependency eitheir of Japan or Cuina. Rensifee Sendai, the Japanese geographer, in his descriptiog of the island of Yeso, gives tze following account of Tarakay:— “To the north of Yeso there is another couniry, separated from its northwestern point by astrait six to seven ri wide, [a degree at the equator con- tains 213 Japanese ri,] called the isiand of Kars fauto, or Karafto, but its true name is Taraikai, or Tarokai. There are 22 villages on it, ani it is 300 ri in circuit. The author cannot, however, vou:h for the accuracy of this statement, for several ge>gra- phers simply call the country an island on the coast of eastern Tappan, (Tartary.) Beyond the inhabited part there is a long rocky promontory trending in a southwestern direction seaward, as may be seen by themap. Dr. Faksikf calls this country Tetso, in his map of the world; and it is also called Kara- fauto and Naroabusi. Towards the northwest is a Tugged chain of lofty and steep mountains, over which there is no practicable route. Beyond this chain, to the northwest, ia the country of Sautau and the Matsiou. We have no precise knowledge of the Santau. The Matsion are the Manolms of the Chinese, and this country does not appear to be far from Karafanto.” Inthe Japanese map of the world to which Sen- dai refers, Tarakay {s represented as forming part of Manchuria; the Amoor is called the great river Amuri-gawa, or Sagariian, separating Terappa (Europe) from Azlya, (Asia,) and is placed several degrees tothe north of this island, leaving the island of Sagariian at its embouchure, and to the eastward of Kamsikatta, the country of the Ovosya, (Russians.) He describes Tarakay as entirely in- dependent of Japan, and states that “ the natives send their young men among the Manchus and Ye- soit«s to learn the languages of those countries, 80 as to become qualified to carry on trade with them. At Karafauto, the principal village, tho Yesoites receive in exchange for the productions of + their country, blue glass, eagles’ wings, tobacco pipes, silk staffs embroidered with dragons, satin dresses, cloths of various colors, and cotton goods. The blue glass, as woll as eag'es’ wings, which come fiom Katafauto, are also found in Yeso; the tobacco pipes, on the contrary, are of Tartar work. manehip, as they bear inscriptions in Manchu let tors. These goods are procured from Pekin by the Manchus, and brought to Karafauto, and are fro- quently received at Matamey by the Yesoites. “In the sea between Karafauto and Yeso there are many hidden sand banks and thousands of rocks, which make the two routes to it bysea extremely difficult; and on this account the commerce be tween the two countries has always beem inconsider able. To the east of Karafauto is the high sea; to the northwest lies Tartary; but at what distance is net positively known. From thence they brin; green and hive beads, eagles’ wings, and the stuthe ‘worn by the Yeeoitea. Tue a of these stuffs resemble those manufactured in China, from whence they are probably brought into Tartery.

They are represented by La Perone to bs wery superior in ly strep, to the Japanese, Chinese end Manchus; their features are more reguler, and more early resembling the torm of Europeans. They are called by the Japanese Mozia, aze mild, pesceuble, generous aod warmly attached to each other; are very hovest, well dis- pored, and bear an excellent obaracter with the japapere. They worship the sun, moon, the eee, a God of the heavens, and believe in the existence of the devil. Tbey have vo writing or money in use among them, but keep their reckoning on sticks of wood, The Japenese bave the two trading establishments of Salmor-trout Bay and Temary Aniwa, on Aniwa Bay, at the ronthern extremity of the islaod, from which the southern islands of Japan are opt with furs, peitries, seal skine, dried fish, whale oil, revbic or sea cabbage, &c., and give in return lack- ered wooden ewing ard drinking veevels, to- bacco avd tobacco pipes, kitchen utensils, rice, course cotton clot, triukets, &c. Tobacco is a staple article of treffic, and sways in great re- juest smong the various tribes of the Ainos ani ‘Tungonan races. Kruzenstern saw immense quan- tities of whales in Anuiwa Bay. Salmon, apd a varie- ty of other firh, ure caught ‘n great abundance, and cured here by the Ainos fishermen, in the service ot the Japanese. The shores are covered with orabs and oysters; several large streams of freah water fluw into the bay, and adjwent forests abound io e and fur bearing animals. Cape Aniwa is in Iutitude 46 deg. north, and longitude 145 60. Zhe Japanese bave no other settlement on the islaud, nor do they frequent any other part of it. No Chinese authorities have ever been seen there, nor is it eau- merated among the possessions of the Chinese. Ac- cordit g to the erudite Klaproth, Tarakay ia not un- der the deminion of Maneburian China, as was once supposed, for it is evtirely omitted in the great C 1i- here government gecgrapbical description of the nye, publirbed at Pekin in 1790, and translated by him; aud it does not appear that the Russians huve ever made ai y trading settlements on the islaud, which bas been rarely visited by their vessels, or thoee of any European nation. La Pe:ouse spent three months in exploring the gult of Tartury, as far asthe flue bay ou the count of Manebunu, which he named Castries Bay, inhabited hy wu tribe of Orvt. bes. He arcertained eatifactcrily ficm the netives that there is no navi- gable communication between trat gulf end the estuary of the Amoor, called the Gulf of Saghalien. About thirty miles to the north cf that bay, they vesved bim that there is a sand bank, or low of land, over which the traders who descend the Amocr to traffic with the patives of the Gulf of Tertay are obliged to drag their canoes. They called the Istandof Tarakay Tchoke. He discovared th1ee good harbors, or roadsteads, on the northwest coast of the island, to which he gave the respective nemes of Langlis Bay, 47 deg. 49 min.; Estaing Bay, 48 deg. 59 min., aod Jonquiere Bay. Patience Bay, 49 deg. north latitade, and 146 deg. east longitude, on the southwest of the island, very extensive, and well adapted for a whaling and trading station. One of the most eligible locations for the establishment of a en | mart, is on ite northern extremity, at Nadeshda Bay, lying between Copes Elizabeth and Maria, in 55 deg. 24 min. north latitude, and 142 deg. eust loagitude. There is a lake of fresh water in its vicinity, into which several fine streams empty. The neighborhood ig represented by Kruzeprtern to be delightfal, and the surrounding mountains covered with fine forest trees. It has a safe and good roadatead, with many local advantsges for such a cettlement; is situated within about one degree of the outlet of the estuary of the Amoor, which he explored and found to be five miles wide, three and a huif to four fatboms depth on the ber, and the water perfectly fresh for sume distance at sea. Kruzenstern slso states that the northwest coast of the island is infil itely preferable to the southwest. Between the mouvtains, which are entirely overgrown to their summits with the tbickest forests, there are valleys covered with luxuriant grasa, and very capable of cultivation. Whales are very abundant in the Japanese seas, which are now much frequented by our whalers during the summer montus, rendering ¢ moat de sirable that some arrgngements be speedily made uneéer the sanction of our government with that of Japan snd the independent chiefs of this island, for the privilege of frequenting its bays and harbors, by American whale ships, for wood, water, provisions, recruitment, or repairs, and fur traflic with the natives. cles, which, Itke She cocresponin -pnes to Japan dy canvot always be reda ed into o'her J angusges. be piu a) ferm of nous is not exbitdtes! 14 Coustr, - tien, but their devominations are rep'tesested by , offiaed pi e " | Dr Ptitzmain, the ¢istinguished prefeesor of oriene tal langusges in the University of Vienna, bts seat pe “A mr aud Vocabulary of the Ase Langvag: ,” chir fl: compi'ed from the before n'ea- ticned wotk, ond :ead by him before the Impenial Acacemy ct Beier ceaof thas city,im 1851.

Puerto CaBE.1o, July 26, 1854 In addition to what I have written to you by this veesel, the sehooner St. Mary, I have now an opportunity at the last moment to give yeu further information which we have received, thas the canton Nirgua is also among the distriets that have pronounced against the governmoat. The state of the popular feeling in that canten was such, that Colonel Melean, the commander of the Monagas forces in the place, was compel- led to abandon his post and* betake himself alone to Valencia, the capital. General Julisa Castro, military chief of the province, having Jeerned this state of things, left Valenola fee Nirgua at the head of 700 men, 500 of whom, commanded by Colonel Melean, were ordered to advance and attack the Nirguans. The lat- ter being fully prepared, gave them.a warm reception; and the government forces under Melean were completely routed and dispersed, their commander with a few 1ollowers ba joined General Castro with his 200 men at Montalvan. Ihave further to add that at the time of the provunciamento at Barquisimeto, the goversor of the provicce and sume other governmental officers having attempted to make head against the popular rising, fell victims to their rash- Desa, Comt of Generel Sessions, Before his Honor the Recorder.
