146 ADDITIONAL FROM CUBA- Arrival of the Philadelphia. ‘The steamship Philadelph's, Capt. Schenck, arrived Inere yesterday. She left New Orleans 5th, and Havana the 13th. eet vay bare wale Me Gulf of Mexico, scoompanied with very heavy sea. On the night of the 9th, whilst lying off the Moro Castle, she sustained severe damage to her rudder head, and it was not til) after much difficulty and losing part of her that she reached the harbor of Havana; whence, ‘after having repaired, she sailed again fcr this port at 9 A. M. of the 15th inst. ‘There was little of interest occurring at Havana. ‘The steamship Falcon had not arrived at Havana when the Philadelphia sailed, Our Havana Correspondence.

The processions of the various tribes and their cliques, to conform to the improvements of civilization were threading the public avenues from the early morning until sundown, and even the scattered @imes did not purchase exemption from annoyance : rank and the most exalted ‘dignity were the first to suffer, and from the Palace most generous donations were scattered among the sable crowds. An English gentleman riding with me, after much surprise at tho variety and richness of many of the dresss worn by the fomales, asked me—' Are these slaves?” Ireplied ‘‘ Yes, nearly all that you see in the streets to-day, aro slaves, ‘and many of them not long resident among the fair chil- @ren of civilization. ” He replied—"‘ I am surprised at all T have seen in Cuba, and have been forced against my will to the conviction that, as a laboring class, they are far better off than our own.” It is well for you good folka—who love charity in these bitter cold days—whore families perish for want of bread and fire, to bear in mind at in Cuba the occurrence of a case of starvation from destitution is unknown, so ample is the provision to reach every want of the many poor, both through public and private sources.

Your fries General Concha having caused this letter to be de- livered to Mr. Felix, hopes are ontertained that, even should the Tribunal sentence both the prisoners to death by the garrote, the Captain General will not suffer {he sentence to be carried into execution. My ‘ Palace friend’? has supplied me exclusively with the following substance of @ conversation which took recently between the Captain General and a gen- who is on terms of familiarity with him:— gentleman said: ‘* You, General Concha, who have established a name for courage and chivalry, must sym- pathise with a man who, like Estrampes, has come oat with so much courage and nobleness.”” “Tt is that very thing,”” replied General Concha, ‘‘that makes. me #0 deeply sympathize with him; nothing could excite my sympathy more.”? ‘Then we may trust,” rejoined the gentkman, ‘that should seatence of death be passed upon him, you will spare his life.” With a kindly malo, General Concha rose from bis chair, saying “\Gocd evening, sir,”’ and thus they separated. From allthis; I am led to augur the happiest result. Should General Concha indeed spare the life of Francisco Extrampes, in the event of nis being seatenced to death by the tri anal he (the General) will prove himself to be ‘the nobles! Roman (Spaniard) of them all,” and he will establish a feeling of gratitude in the hearts of the Americans rosi- éent here, that time will not efface.

Youth—‘'I wish to be recognized as an Ame- rican citizen.’”?

The present would have teen enjoyed, bat toe penalty and the trouble could not be undertaken for its proourement; #0 the hungry official, it be'ng retained on board, had a portion of it served for bis oan ainner.

Not thinking of the istic material that touches the convemrence of these Pver faithful officials, and t-e al- tert e to choose of being at the loss of his segars, that had cost him $22 50, or the loss of his passage, he gave up the first, much to the delight of the very sensi- tive guardian of the public treasury, who retained the pratifcation so defrauded for hia owa une a8 I have earned by ioquiries at the Custom House, where it never was del'vered, At the same point, under our new and more accommo- dating regulations for the landing of passengers and_ex- amination of baggage, 1 have scea the examining officer frequently break the seals and read letters of introduc- tion and of business, which were found in the trunks or trangers, which indignity hai to is, of course, done by the positive ral Concha.

As we hoped, a day’s cool reflection worked a bene- ficial result, and the panic of which tae journals of yes- terday were/ull is already amongst the things that were, Quiet and confidence are restored, and to day scarce a nipple will remain upon the surface to remind one of the storm which ao suddenly rose, and was no les: denly lulled, to disturb but for a’ brief day tke cu of our affairs. ‘Scme few, principally those attracted from the coun- try by exaggerated rumors borne from the city during Saturday, presented themselves at the counters of tho brokers during yesterday morning, and something like a run was continued fora briet period upon the Boat- men’s Savings Institution, but the oumber that came to deponite was greater than that which came to draw, aod before noon everything that betokened uneasiness was completely gone. We point to the events of theso days with pride. The wave which, passing over other large business communi- ties of the country, has left ruin and desolation behind it, reached us ata moment when it was least expected; the critical period was supposed to have gone by, when, without a moment's warning, it burst upon us, but i swept away with it pothing but the ill-defined doubts and fears which the rumors of distant disaster had created here. Our banking institutions, unaided, stood the shock, and are at this moment firmer than before it scare, Atno period has the confidence of our citizens in the banking houses of St. Louis been so strong as a5 the clore of the panic of which Roractey morning saw the commencement and Saturday nigat the end. This is a matter not merely of cong:atulation, but worthy of note and remembrance at home aud abroad. ‘The evil announced in our issue of Saturday morning stopped where it began. The temporary suspension of Messrs. Page & Lacon, and Loker, Renick & Co, was fol- lowed by an unexpected and unne: ry run upon other banking fostitutions. Sudden as these suspsnsions were, no warning was or could be given to any one, no oppor- tunity was afforded for the slightest preparation to meet this unusual ané utterly uncalled for run, and ys banking house was a demsnd for deposits mé ‘was pot most promptly and cheerfully met. There was no opportunity fur mutual understanding, or any ar- rangemect for mutual support in this emergensy, which noe foresaw and for which none were bound, or could De reasonably expected, to be Prepared; the ’stronger could net come to the support of the weaker, nor those upon whor no unneual calls were made presume upoa this circumstance to afford ammunition to# comrade, for it was impossivle to tell what direction this panic—ut- terly unjustifisble, groundless and uareasoning as it was—might spy moment take. Each one was compelled by the necessity of the case to stand by his own locker, and, survive or perish, to rely wholly upon his own re- rources, Yet, not one, for one single moment, faltered or showed any signs of giving out. Draft afver draft was made, in steady succession, from the earliest mo- ment of commencing business till evening closed; the crisis, as Juck would have it, came on a day when it is she custom for banking houses to kcep op¢n toa later hour, and when the last haul was made, no siga of bot- ‘om had as yet been seen, and it was evident enough to he most sceptical that the attempt to exhaust the re- tonrces upon which sush a persevering attack hai beca made, was utterly v This, in itself, had a direct tendency to restore conf- ence. The peo; ls had taken the occasion to try these institutions, and they had stood a trial. under circum stances than which none more unfavorable to them ould be conceived, without manifesting the most dis ‘ant sign of giviog out. Bat when the leading men of th of the city came forward, and private property of ‘bose in no way directly interested in the matter, was pledged to the amount of six millions for the security of deposits 'n the brokers” hands, and it was understood that millions more —that the whole property of the city. indced, it need be—was pledged for this, and it was felt how entire was the solidarity of interest and feeling be- tween our merchants, manufacturers and bankers, how complete was the coufidence of the former in the latter, and how devoted each and all were to the maintenance for our city of that spotless fame which has made her the envy of the mercantile world, and raised her to so Proud an eminence, bigh above the troubled waves of these stormy times—then, indeed, the timid began to blush at their fears, and it was felt that the credit of our city and of our bsnkers was impregnable as a rock, The panic in St. Louis will de found to have been pro- duetive of nought but good. The vessel which has been tried by a hundred fold pressure upon a part selected at pleasure by those determined to test it to the utmost, may be safely trusted thereafter to withstand ail ordina- ry ftraine, and he is a fo.1 that theggeforsh doubts ite sirengtb. Our banking houses will from this time stand higher than ever in the esteem of all, they have been weighed in the balance and aot found wanting. THE BEGINNING OF GOOD NEWS. It will be seen by the card of Page & Bacon, that the Bank of America, New York, the first banking instita- tion in the country, has at once come forward to the aid of Bacon. This we set down as but a first iu- stalment of cheering announcements. We learned the worst at firs, and, an we said in saieg to the public, matters turn out to be not as bad as they seemed at the outset. From this temporary check, our honored aad enterprising fello citizens will but gather new force to continue their heroic exertions, whish have alceady brought them through difficulties that few but they woold have dared to face. We make this publication with joyous hearts; it will give the # acerest pleasure to thousands who bave no direct pecuniary interest in tie matter, and must still further confirm that confidence which {he events of yesterday sufficed to restore, There is no Western man that will pathy to Page & Bacon in thi ve been involved by their zeal for the interests of the West, and no Western heart that wiil not thet £0 powerful an arm has been stretched out to them in the hour of need. TO BUSINESS MEN IN THE COUNTRY. We cannot too earnestly warn our readers in the coun- iry against tl xaggerated rumors that are spread abroad as to the supposed excitemeat and faibures in 3t. Louis. We assure our readers everywhere, that there bas not been, nor will there bea failure of a er in St. Louis, A guaranty of our men o! amounting now to near $4,000,000 in amount, fixes that fact beyond peradventure. The suspension of Page & Bacon—an event much to be regrettet, but nevertheless ago | believed to be of vory temporary duration—led to cons derable excitement for a few houry on Saturday, Dut on yesterday it all subsided, and before night the city was as quiet, as busy aboat its regular duties, and aw confides 8 we ever knew it to be, to see and bear of the per- iad deposite ia the banking They came driving into the city, breathless, and pale with emotion, give his sincerest aym- traggle in which they with ail having heard that every banker’ in St. Louls was broke, and every merchant gone to the d—1.

Our Vera Cras ‘Vena Crvz, Jan. 8, 1855. The Mexican Press on Pierce’s Message—The Arrangois Affair—Curious Developements—Wrath of H. 8. H. —Expulsion of @ Guadalupean—That $3,000,000 Not Yet Due—Smuggling—Fatlure of the English Mail. ‘We have had an unusually quiet fortnight, and for want of any exciting political rumors or ‘brilliant victories” over the insurgents, people are talking all manner of gos- sip, and the newspapers are pitching into President Pierce’s message on all sides, and holding forth in long winded Jeremiads over the great Arrangois defalcation. ‘And, by the way, this is about as purely Mexican and delicious a scandal as has occurred for some time. Even ‘those snug little operations—the Schuyler and Maggs af. faira—knock under to it in point of neatness, richness and graceful accomplishment. Since the days of Shocs0 Jones, an appreciating and admiring world has been wont to take a deep interest in all that relates to distinguished financiers. But it grievey me to say that I am not sufficiently familiar with the antecedents of the ingenious Mexican Swart- wouter above mentioned to venture to give a biographi- cal sketch of his brilliant career from his rise, through hie varied progress, and up to his recent bold stroke, which bas now won him an imperishable fame, at least in these parts, and which may lead to his achieving the highest honors in the Btate (they appreciate merit in this country,) if he ever ventures to return. Suffice it to say that Senor Dor something de Arrangois has risen rapidly. A year or so since he was in the min- istry; but as his talents appeared to lie in the diplomatic line, he was consigned temporarily to the consul-generalship at New Oxlva and thence promoted to the mission at Was! ington. This last position gave him the paying away of the $7,000,000; all of which he actually paid except a cool $70,000 only (reasonab’e man!) by way of com- mission, The matter was kept quiet fora time; coax- ings were first tried, then threats, but allin vain—Mexi- cans don’t disgorge, Pathetic appeals were made to him by H.S.H.; the name of patriotism invoked, &., &c. The only answer wes, ‘he intended to keep the money; and instead of reproaches they ought to be very grateful to him for not taking more, and that to the mission to Washington, he begged to resign it, and was going to Europe for his health, as he feared the air of Mexico m'ght not agree with him,’? Whereupon H. 8. H. waxed farious, and carajoing terribly, swore he’d pasa Mr, Arrangoiz through @ course of firean™s should he ever dare set foot in this country, and ordered him to be formally dismissed from his charge to the United States, and, unkindest cut of all, to be expelled the national and distinguished Order of Guadalupe! Fact. The papers at tho capital ara full of the affair; and sinco the expelling of Nicholas of Russia from among the Knights of the Bath, neither Punch nor the Charicari have contained anything so intensely comical as the ponderous and crushing articles in the Universal, the Diario, and the Siglo, What an awful and appalling sense of damning degradation! Whata cruel, cutting consciousness of guilt will weigh down the soul of Mr. Arrangoiz when he reads those articles, and iscovers, for the first time, what a terrible villain is (as Warren Hastings ssid when he heard the indict- ment), whilst he, Arrangoiz, sips his Johanntsberger at his villa on the Raine! Gossip says many curioas things now-a-days. The yet unpaid $3,0(0,000 is the leading topic of the day, and a high fanctionary informed me the ovher day that as soon as it is paid H. 8. H. is “coming down.” It oceurs to me if it be not paid very speedily he will come down with a vengeance, All H. 8. H. now hopes for {s to get this plunder in his hands, aud by these means to slope from this ungratet al country forever Meanwhile let us hope the Wander ng Jew and others are henestly down at their work in Wash- ington. They contracted to pat the bill through in the mest expeditious manner, and as they have been paid only a «mall advance, doubtless they are now lobbying, dining, wining, feeing, &., mort vigorously. Well, the American people have plenty of money, aad their repre sentatives in Congress assembled have the right to dis- pose of it as they please.

The con. duct of Arrangoiz in this matter is said to have caused as much surprise and dieappontment as it certainly has of bitterness, He had always previously been considered of the most un yielding fategrity and highest and most honorable delicacy.
