We publish to-day three letters fram our Havana correspondents, containing some moet interening acts relative to the state of affairs ia Cuba, at the Ujtest date, with regard to the alave trade, the ap- proaching departure of Gen. Pezuela, the expected arrival of Goy. Concha, and the tone of feeliog which existed in the minds of the newly arzived soldiers relative to the Spanisk revolution aud home politica im general. lt appears that Mark Channcey, of Pbi adelpbis, and Wiliam Winn, of the State of Maine— American seamen and citizens—with a num: ber of Portuguese sailors, are now lying in Taoon jail, ewaiting punishment fer having formed part of the erew of the slayer Esperanza, which was fitted out in New York in March last under ancther name, wan to the Cape, took in. cargo of negroes, and had ‘to be burned at the Isle of Pines, owing to the negli- gence of the conaignees of the human freight whion abe had on boavd.

Three of j these B ye have since preved comparatively valueW ss, from the unsnitabioness of their sitc- ation, , and the want of a fertile back couutry to feed them w merchandise. The other two, thevigh thriving through our enterprise, are utverly inadequate for the purposes of an ex-! teyided trede: and the extraordinary advan- ty gee presented by the Yangtze-Kiang, the Mis- “vitsippi of China, naturally pointed it out as the direction in which our efforts for an ex- tension of our privileges should be .pashed. Years: ago, it was obvious to every one who was familiar with the sabject that bexefits incalculable both to us and to the Cpinese would flow from the opening of this Mnagnilicent stream to our vessels, It was plain as noondsy that, could we obtain permission to navigate tue Yangtve-Kiang es far as Nankio or Wubn, our citizens would not only reap an abundant barvest from introducing into that region the superior ajpliances of our machinery, aud thereby facilitating the:production of sta- ples, and internal communication, but woulda soon establish a trade between San Francisco, New York aud the interior of China, which would soon excecd that of the Atlautic Ocean. Itis to be presumod that Mr McLane was perewptorily directed to use all his eudva- vors 10 gain this object. It is impossible to say what euccess he might have had with the Manchu dynasty, nor is it of much moment to inquire, for shortly after his arrival the real power if not the crown of Emperor fell into the hands of the leaders of the insurgen's, The first intercourse of our representatives with the rebels led to no result. No diroot proposals were made on ur side; and no offers on thvirs to which any serious importance could be at- tached. In point of fect, the grossest ignorance prevailed both among our citizens in China and the government at home with reapect to the character and objects of the rebels, As op- ponents of a tyrannical and barbarous govern- ment, they gained a little popular sympathy: az reputed Christians, they obtained some fa- vorable regard from the missionaries and their friends, But of their true nature and business, the whole civilized world has been, and to a cer tain extent is still profoundly ignorant. It was toclear away the mist which veiled them that the Susquehanna, with Mr. Mclane on board, went to Nankin, There, it appears from our accounts, some closer intercourse was held with the rebel chiefs; and the c -nelusion to which our minister came, after a careful re- view of the whole, was suchas to prevent his even broaching the subject of his demands. The rebel chiefs were seemingly Christiane, it is true; but their followers had no notion of Christianity. They minglod the doctrines of the Bible with the absurd fables of their own mythology; while they acknowledged Jesus Christ to be one Son of God, they claimed that Tae-ping Weng wae another. The fundamental principle of their creed appeared to be a notion that this latter impostor was destined to sub- due the world and achieve universal monarchy. This destiny had been foretold, they said, from beaven; and with the prophecy, a rivord had descended from on high to enable Tao-ping Wang to accomplieh his ambitious designs. The barbarity and folly of their actione equatled the absurdity end blasphemy of their words. Their whole progress had been a serics of savage erneltics, and ruthloss acts of destruction. The noblest urchitsetural works of the empire had fallen before them. Whole villages had been steeped in bloed. So far from liberalising the system of government, the rule of Tae- Wang wat more barbarous and eupersti than that of hie predecessor.

Some ofour correspondents speak warmly on the point and suggest that no time be lost in dealing with China a5 we have dealt with Japan. In the main, we think they are right; though we do venture to knock ihe rebel fortifications about Toe-ping Wang’s eore. The proper course to pursue would undoubtedly be for Mr. McLano, backed by a strong naval force, to demand formally that our ebips be allowed to trade to Nankin. This demand sboutd be made of the autborities in pcssession of that eity, whetvar imperialist or insurgent matters not. The re- ‘wal with which he would probably meet would then place us in 9 proper position to act : and it is nat unlikely that some accident would for hostilities as there were forthe opium wr, the asmucha ue. It isonly pr vent dby the “parrow prejudic s of the Chivese ralera, An oppertunity 6 nw off'rded us to make a bold push to overcome ‘hese prejudices by a display of firmness and free. We think the govern- ment will carn snother claim to detestation if it ie negleeted. Tur Hien Prem or Coat.—That anthracite coal is at present far above the price which an ordinary degree of scarcity in the arele might worran', we think no one will deny, and the ruling causes are subjects which are justat this time of the ; r-atest inquiry and solicitation. We are all aware that the wages of the minera were ivereared during the early part of the season from twenty-five to thirty-one cents per ton for mining, which would inerease the value of coal «0 est year’s prices about one per cent. Freignta, we admit, huve also advanced, from three to five per cent., and these are the great bugbears from which coal dealers manufacture their srgumeats to sustain them in demanding an advance on ‘their coal of forty per cent. There is no searcity of cool—tke yardsarcelt coming, it is because Pennsylvenia dealers ar carrying out their speculative determination to ‘withhold shipments for the purpose of sus- taining the trade abroad ;” and it must there fore be apparent, that coal has attained a ficti- tious value, brought about by a speculative and moncpolising movement on the part of those swho have as little sympathy with the wants aud flour trade. But the oppressive influences of this speculative movement, we thiok, can be In a measure averted by following cut a system which has been heretofore rec mmended to consumers, to wit, to forezo Inying in the usual winter stock. Seventy-five thousand families in this city and Brooklyn, every fall purchase an average of five tons each, which is regularly calculated upon by dealers, and their November payments are. the ‘ruits of sales of three hundred and seventy-five thousand tons of coal made in September and October. Reduce these sales to one-fifth the amount, which the consumers have it in their power to do, and an appeal is made to the pockets of the dealers, which it will be some- what difficult for them to turn aside from. There are other causes which we think will contribute to bring down the price of coal to something nearcr its intrinsic value. We learn that a great number of heavy coneumers in the Eastern States, taking advantage of the new re. ciprocity treaty, have engaged the Pictou coal, in consequence of their being able to procure it atacheaper rate than the Pennsylvania an- thracite is at precent furnished. We also learn that a great many mannufacteries in this city and.a large number of steamboats, are substi tating the Lackawana for ihe anthracite, which latter they have heretofore used. One steam- boat company in this city, which alone con sumes upwards of twenty-six thousand tons apmually, are now laying in their winter stock of bituminous as a substitute for the ordinary stone coal, which they have usually consumed. These may be small items when compared with the aggregate amount used, but they will nevertheless have their influence upon the mar- ket and tend to check in some degree the ram- pant spirit of speculation which now actuates our coal dealers; and when the fact becomes more generally understood and acted upon, that the eoal of the British provinces is admit- ted into the United States free of duty, we should not be surprised If a panic should seize the stubborn dealers before the winter is over, and fear prompt them to permit the price of coal to recede to its proper level. We have received the following comsi1nice- tion from a coal dealer in this city, who, it will be seen, takes a somewhat different view of the effect which will be likely to be produced hy consumers holding off their winter supplies :— 70 THE RPITOR OF THE NEW YORK HERALD.

Jovtyer—Pope Pins the Ninth has proc'aimed to the faithful through- out the werld @ three months’ jubilee or general indulgence. The Holy Father has been moved to this solemn act in consideration of the many and grievous affictions uncer which the civi- 1 zed world is at this moment suffering. Wars wud earthquakes, and pestilence and famine, hove been in al! ages regarded as scourges with which the crimes of mankind have been pun- iebed; and prayer and sacrifice have been the ouly recegnized panacea for these evils. The dissensions between potentates which have em- broiled Europe in a sanguinary war, the pesti- \cnee which stalks abroad in city and in hamlet, the earthquakes and other calamities which have gone to make the present year one of unusual destructiveness to human life, are all by him referred to that one great engendering cause— namely, the sins and transgressions of the sons of men. And therefore it is that, in his ency- clical letter given at St. Peter’s, in Rome, on the lat of August, he calls upon the hierarchy of the Church to incite, through their clergy, the faithful to join in supplication to the throne of grace, that the dissensions of Christian princes may be set at rest, that peace and tran- quillity may be accorded to the peoples, and that the arrows of divine wrath may be stayed. But all these calamities combined are in the eyce of his Holiness less intolerable than the heresies propagated on all sides. Indifferent- ism and infidelity appear to him to have far more terrors in thetr train than even war and pestilence. The latter ere, at worst, mere tem- porary evils, of comparatively ephemeral ex- istence; but the former, if permitted to take root and spread, may encompass the earth, and in connection with the epirit of revolt, may crush and trample upon the thrones of mo- narchs apd the chair of apostles. And so to guard against such a dreadful contingency, the Pope calls for the exercise of the greatest zeal and the offering up of the most fervent suppli- cations to prevent the growth of these dreaded demons of infidelity and sedition. The time was when the successor of Saint Peter was the acknowledged arbiter betwcen warring kings, and when heresy and schism, if they dared to lift their heads, were crushed out by a speedy process. Something like the same spirit still lives at Rome; the will is there, but the power to enforce it is fled forever. Never theless, if it is believed that the prayers of the Church will avail in the present crisis of mun- dane affairs, we will be glad to see them brought into service. A great deal can be done in three months, Besides, the season will be propi- tious as the winter will probably enforce a truce’ in the operations of war and cholera; and the prayers of the faithful will at all events seem to have had a favorable hearing. In connection with this subject it is announc- ed that « special convocation of the hicrarchy of the Church will be held at Rome, after the termination of the jubilee, to decide on the doctrine which is hereafter to be deemed ortho- dox in relation to the immaculate conception of the Virgin, and to promulgate the belief of the Church on that point. There appears to have been some unaccountable dilatoriness in fixing this dogma, but of course it is better late than never. In the meantime we would seri- ously commend to the perusal of our readers the encyclical letter of the Pore, a translation of which we publish in our columns to-day. it is a document breathing fervent piety and Christian humility, and is eminently adapted for Sabbath reading. Tue Waia Primary Exectioys.—It was pretty generally understood some time since that the Seward whigs would come off socond best at the elections which were held on Tues- dey. But no one—except perkaps some of the long headed leaders of the Know Nothings— had any idea that they would be eo utterly routed as they have been. In Mr.Seward’s worst days, New York never showed s0 united a front against him. With the aid of two daily journals devoted to his per.onal in- terests, he has been so badly beaten that his ulterior prospects for the Presidency must be regarded as seriously impaired. New York has dealt a tremendous blow at the faction which has derived strength from his name, and has proved hersclf free from the contagion which has overspread so large a section of the State. Mr. Seward’s course on the Nebraska bill, which was perfectly consistent with his former conduct—-his identification with the abortive convention at Saratoga, and the stain of abe lition which clings to his character—were among the causes which contributed to bring about this result. The efforts of his organs to belie the conservative section of the whig party have only availed to warn the Union whigs of the dangers of their position, and incite them to shake off all semblance of fellowship with the abolition seceders from their ranks. It was not only said that the Union whigs wore allicd at heart with the followers of Mr. Seward, but it was loudly proclaimed that Sew- ardism had made such progress since the passage of the Nobraska bill that the conservative whig party had dwindled down to @ fragment of its former strength. We hope Mr. Seward’s friends will hasten to correct these errors. Conservative whiggism eeems to possess a fair share of vitality still; and does not look as though it was so deeply imbued with Sewardiem as the Auburn agita- But the largest shure of the victory belongs He was well the help of the Irish they would carry the day. take was opparent.

This last Know Nothing triumph likewise de- serves attention. This new party bas now es- teblished its sway over the whole West, North and East, and hus penetrated many portions of the Suuth. It has everywhere proved invinci- ble: the greatest reputations have been unable to resist ita noiseless invisible shock. As mat- ters now look, the prospect is that the Kaow Nothings will rule the country till 1856, and elect the next President—perbaps. Tae Wie Stare Convention—Pienry 0!

He requires obedience from all good citizens to every article and particle of the treaty. ‘Phe third article provides for the importation—from the British colonies, free of duty—-of breadstuffs and provisions, coal, and all sorts of lumber and firewood. Let the treaty be observed. In reciprocity for the fall admission of Pictou coal into Philadelphia, Pennsylvania anthracite goes free to Pictou. All right. Nothing like a fair trial between the hards and the rofts, And we can have our pick, too, free of duty, Tax Gas Suur Ovr.—We hear it ramored that the reason there has been no public ratifi- cation called at Tummany Hall, in behalf of the late Syracuse convention, is that the man who has been furnishing the light has shut off the gas. Are the Custom House supplies ex- hausted? Shall the administration be swamp- ed for the want of gas? Where is Mr. Coch- rane? Where is Mr. Purdy? We must have gas, Marine Affairs.

THE REGULAR FaLL MEETING. ‘The regular meeting of the National Jockey Club wild commence to morrow, with a promise of a week of great brilliancy. The past week has been one of mitches alone, and was better attended than was saticipated, considering the state of the weather and the nature of the races; but the raciog this week will be quite s dif- ferent aifair, the best horses in the country being ex pected to enter during the mee ing. There will be two races a day positively, and the liberal purses >ffered wili be sure to induce the owners of the best horses to enter for them. The fourmile day will be unusually attractive, as there is reason to believe tnat no less than six entries will be made for that occasion, inclading Highlander, Re? Eye, Arrow, Reube, Little Fles, and One-Fyod Joe. Others may also enter making ono of the finest fields ever witnesa- ed. Highlander was né ver beaten ia any race except in the great Stato post stake, by Lexington and Locomte. Red Eye bas made the quickest four mile race ever run in Virginia. Arrow is considered as good a racer as any of them, while Ruebe has won more four milo races than apy horse that ever ran; and asto Little Floa» he bas made the best three mile race of any horse in America. One-Eyed Joe iss capital horee, and in addi- tion to beating Garret Davis, bas won a four mile race in Baltimore in 7:43—7:45 We do not make particular mention of the four mile day to the disparagement of others, as every day wili be good; we allude to it espe- cially as being the day gensral'y looked toat the North as the grand even! of the week, when people who never visit the track on over oncasions, may be seen, and a disappointmest on thas day would be a disappointment indeed. All sporting recolle ‘tions at the North are asso- ciated with tour mile days, ead the remembrance of the race between olipse and Henry is as freah in the minas of cld turfmen as if it hed occurred yesterday. No other races are remembere’, hence the great anxiety for a 4ne field on the four mile day, ‘The entries for the Astor House stake to-morrow, mile beats, aro Nat.

This is for Monday. On Tuesday, for the St. Nicholas stake, a single dade of four miles, we have Highlend-r, Little Flea, and One- Eyed Jce; and on the same day, for the Prescott House stake, we have four entries, viz:—Terrifier, Little Ar- thur, Auguste, and a bay colt by Regent, in mile heats, mahking up a capital day’s sport. On Wednesday, we have a race for the club purse of $1,000, two miles, the horses for which will enter on Tues- day evening; and the Irving House stake for mile heats, which closed with the following entries:—Wild Irishman, Ellen Bateman, McGrath, and Madonna—four good ones. On ‘lhursday, the proprietor’s purse will open the sports, the entries to be made the day previously; after whieh, the Metropolitan.» ake, two mile heats, will be run by Agitator, Sam Letcher, Little arthur, and Terrifer—four most excetlent horses. On Friday, two club purses will be run for, mile hoats. and three mile beats, entries to be made as usual the day before; and on Saturday the great four-mile race for the club purse of $2,000, and alto a purse for beaten horses, two mile heats, will be run, making the pro» gramme of the week’: sport the most magn:fleent ever known at the North, ‘Ike accommodations for ladies and families st the Na+ tional Course are now somplete, and those gont'‘emen who. take pride in taking their families to places of amuse. ment, can visit the National Course with an assurance that the strictest propriety is prererved, and that no thing to shock the modesty or disgust the delicacy of any female is permitted. A ride in the open air, and witness- ing a good race, will be found more conducive to health than the heated atmosphere of the cpera, or the theatre, and the excitement attendant on the aceno will be found far more exbilsrating.
