INTERESTING FROM CUBA. Arrival of the Cahawba—Mexican Aifairs— Santa Anna—The New York Herald—Mar. kets, dic. The United States mail steamship Cahawba, RB. W.

Santa Anna bad waited in vain for a steamer to St. ‘Tuowas to touch at Puerto Principe, and take himself and family on board, and so he had returned to Neuvitas, where it was said a Spanish war steamer would be placed at his disposal by order of the Captain-General. We trauslate the following Mexican correspondence trom the Diario de la Marina:— TUE TEMPORARY PRESIDENT—UNSETTLED CONDITION OF THINGS, ETO, Muxtco, Sept. 1, 1855 The adbesion of this capital to the movement which cove the last administration from power has had a powerful influence on the departments generally, which in econding the plan proclaimed there, have recognived al the same time the new temporary Presideat, Don Martin Carrera. Puebla, Oajaca, Queretaro, Guanajuato, Aguas Calientes, ZAeatecas, Durango, and the greater part of 2he important towns of Mexico and Vera Cruz, are in that Condition of acquies@nce; and the various sections of ‘the army scattered in various points render obedience t ‘His Exoolleney, who, by his cordiality and the good ju ment, prudence and discretioa with which he exercises power, is acquiring incontestible titles to the gratitude of the Mexican people, by his services in preserving a cen. tre ion and of authority, And so His Exoe’ Teckous upon the sympathy and adhesion of all those ‘who bona fide desire the triumph of the sound principles proposed by the revolution and the promptest tablishment of peace, order and individual security. Nevertheless, it is proper to say that there stili exist elements which retard results so desirable and important, The chieés who with armed hands were combatting Faats Aana’s government, do not yet recognise the tem- porary President, their true views in that respec unkaown, in consequence of their being separ eaca other and from the capital—that being « pretext for combatting, through the press and other modes, the au thority of his Excellency, and of placing in doubt the ty of his acts. agitation and uncertainty which egists om all sides, is the new eatity which has appeared in the department of San Luis Potosi, where Senor 1). Antonio de Haro y famariz has proclaimed plan not in conformity with that of Ayut'a, adopted throughout the nation, aud which he at- tempts to sustain with force of arms, openly refusing to acknowledge the temporary President, and treating his measures as null. For this he reckons on a sectioa of troops belonging to the army, which was stationed there when he proclaiined ~ his plan; and he believes that he can supersede all that has been done in the republic in the way ofa nations! movement. It is probable that he will soon be convinced of the vanity of bis designs, as 1 have just learned that Don Santiago Vedaurri, chief of the revolu tionary forces in Nuevo Leon and Coahuila, and upon ‘whose co-operation he calculated entirely, ignores and re- proves his plan and proceedings. The ‘same ought to happen in respect of the other chiefs, so thatthat element of turbance, which unfortunately. presented itself at the most criteal and compromising moment, will soon be removed. The only thing, then, which can bring the desired re sult, namely, the establishment and consolidation of the national government, the assembling of Congress, and the promulgation of constitutional laws, is that all the chiefs should meet and agree on what is most suitable under such diiicult circumstances. The temporary President, awace of that necessity, hastened to address to such chie%s an invitation that they should meet on the 16th of September. in the town of Dolores, and deliberate on such grave matiers, protesting that he will be the first to hear and obey the determinations which may emanate from that re-vaion. Although so prudent and provident, he has, nevertheless, met opponents; but hopes ave enter- tained of this measure being realized, in the mcantime Gen, Carrera continues exercising his nuthority toimprove as much as possible the present situ tion, aid to satisly the national exigences of the political change, and which can only emanste from the central power.

COURT OF GSNERAL SESSIONS. ‘The indictment in this case charges that on the 2ith of September, 1854, Wm. Scharffenberg stabbed Helena Mey- er, in a house No. 60 Greenwich street, a lager bier sa- loon, kept by Louis Rebel. The woman was stabbed in the left breast, and died on the 21st of October, in the New York Hospital. The cause of the murder was jealousy. ‘The prisoner was arraigned for trial yesterday morning. ‘he prosecution was conducted by the District Attorney, Mr. Hall, in person, who opened the case, setting forth the facts of indictment as they are given above. The prisoner t a young man, about 23 years of age, very re- spectably dressed, and possessing a rather intelligent looking fee. Lewis Rebel was the first witness called:—I knew a girl named Helena Meyer in September last; 1 kuew the pri- soner at the same time; she is now dead; I saw her the day betore she died: she died on the 21st of October, 1854; the prisoner and Helena Meyer were together in the month of September before she died; he saw the prisoner stab the deceased on the 24th of September, 1864; he saw the blood streaming from her side, The District Attorney said he noticed an informality in the indictment. ‘The indictment stated that the deceased was stabbed on the 24th of Septomber 1854, and died on the 2ist of September, 154, the latter date being a cleri- calerror tor 2ist of’ October, 1854. Mr. Hall said he should, therefore, ask for an acquittal upom the ground of a variance between the indictment and the proof. The Recorder consented to this, und directed the jury to find an acquittal of the prisoner on the ground of a va- riance between the indictment and the proof. The Re- corder stated that upon the rendition of such a verdict new indictment could be found against the prisoner, and the trial would proceed immediately, The jury accordingly found such a verdict as was ordered by the Court. Mr. Hall then retired from the Court room, and sent the case with the proofs into the Grand Jury, who were in reasion at the time, and the indictment was accord- ingly corrected in the space of a few minutes, RE-ARRAIGNMENT OF PRISONER. At half past one o'clock, the Grand Jury came into Court and presented a corrected indictment against the prisoner, when he was re-arraigned for trial. Louis Rebel was again called to the stand.—I keep a lager bier saioon in Greenwich street; I kept there a year ago; I knew a girl named Helena Meyer; knew her About six weeks before she was stabbed; this acquain- tance wax about the first part of August 4 year ago; she worked in my house at the time of her death; my family then consisted of four, myself, wife, another girl, and the servant Helena Meyer; I know Schaffenterg; | knew him for about eight months before last September; he was an emigrant runner; I do not know that Meyer and Schaf- fenberg were in love with each other; I was intimate with Schaffenberg; Meyer and Schaffenberg know each other; they met often in my house; I can not say how often; 1 never heard the prisoner siy anything particular about deceased; I remember the evening of the 24th ot Septem- ber; I saw Schaffenburg that night; he was in my house; during the day he was there often’ and appeared crazy; he was drunk at about 5 or 6 o'clock in the evening: { thought he was crazy, because he ran up and down fn t barroom like a crazy inan, and his eyes looked wild; 1 don’t recollect that they spoke together this day; I did not think the prisoner had his senses; he saw Helena Meyer at this time, but I don’t know that they spoke; he did not live at my house; he came there to see me; he spoke to me about being wild; I told him he was crazy and must go home; Schaffenburg said he would ‘not; he did not speak a sensible word the night of the murder, Helena Meyer was in the room at the time; I took coffee myeelf that evening; I this was between 6 ‘and 7 o'clock in the evening; 1 took coffee with my wife, the pri- soper and Heleaa Meyer; we went into the barroom and I took some wine, and ‘at this moment the stab was given; I did not see a knife inthe prisoner's hand; I saw him raise his hand as he stood before Miss Meyer, and strike at her heart; I did not see any knife at the time; 1 saw a knife afterwards upon the sofa where Meyer was sitting at the time sle was stabbed; she exclaimed—“ 0, Jesus, T am dead; Charles ‘Wagener took the wounded woman and carried her to bed; 1 saw her afterwards at the hospital, dead; I think the prisoner and the deceased were together about fifteen minutes before she was stabbed: I don’t recollect that Schaffenberg ever told me anything about his feelings towards the deceased. ‘The Court then took a recess of half an hour for dinner, ‘The Court was re-opened at 3 o'clock, and Lewis Rebel was recalled for cross-exumination by Mr. Clinton. Sehaffenberg, I think, was in liquor in the forenoon of the day of the murder; I think he was also in the after noon; when he came’ to my house in the afternoon he stopped in the barroom; he took supper at my house, between 6 and 7 o'clock in the evening; he took supper with iyself, my wife and Helena Meyer; the prisoner seemed crazy while at supper; he eat the potatoes with his fingers, which was odd! 1 don't remember that he said anything in particular; I noticed the eyes of the rivoner—ithey looked wild, and rolled very much; T lon’t think he knew what he was about; he was a little drunk; after supper the prisoner took three glasses of wine; after drinking this wine the prisoner acted as be- fore; his eyes had the same wild aspect; I don’t think he knew what he was about; [ shoved Schaffenberg back alter the stab was given, and he sat down; I did not ob- serve anything strange about Schaffenberg after the stabbing. ‘To the Recorder—I never heard the prisoner say any- thing about any affinity existing between himself and de- ceased. Caroline Rebel, wife of last witness, was next aworn.— 1 knew Helena Meyer; she and myself came to this coun- try together; I was intimate with the deceased; I never heard the deceased say anything of Schaffenverg, or the risoner say anything of deceased; Ihave only heard a few words pass between the prisoner and deceased; Schaf- fenderg always slept at her house when he was drunk; I was behind the bar at the time the stab was given; the first I heard was Helena exclaiming, “Oh, my Jeaus, I am dead;” looked around and saw Schaffenberg near Helena, and saw my husband shove him away. The tes- timony of this witness was precisely the same as her hus band’s, who preceded her. She was not cross examined, Charles Wagener was then sworn.—My business is gar making; T work fr a Mr. Peterson; I know Schaifen erg; Ihave known him for « long time; 1 knew Helena Meyer; J never saw Helena and and the prisoner together, excepting in a cellar at No. 60 Greenwich street; 1 have never scen them in the street together; Inever knew what they used to talk about; [ never heard Schaffenberg: speak of her; I wasin No, 60 Greenwich street on the night of the murder: I saw nothing: I was not asleep; 1 talked to Helena Meyer that night; she was sitting on the sofa; a msn named Meinecke was talking to the deceased; { wanted to sit down on the soft, and Meyers would not let me; I do not know where Schaffenberg ‘was at this time 1 did not ree the blow given; I heard her ery out; i dil not know the cause; I saw no blow given; I do not re- member what Helena said; { remember Schaffenberg, a few moments afterwards, said, “You will never get up from that sofa; I will be hung, and that will bean end of the mfatter.’’ Cross-examined—I saw Schaffenberg drink that night; T saw him walking up and down the room; I did not no- tice his appearance; he did not walk very fast; I have known Schaffenber g a year ago this last’ Augusi; I car- ried the deceased in a room two or three minutes after she was stabbed. Mr. Joachim Meinecke sworn—I am a seafaring man; I was atsea last April; I know William Schaffeaberg; I have known him ten or éleven years; 1 knew Helena Meyer; I knew her about four weeks before she was stabbed; in this time I slept with her three times; Schaffenberg spoke to me several times about the girl; said he liked her very much, and I said she was a pretty nice girl; be said he liked her; 1 do not k that be alept with her; I'do not’ know that be e wanted to; I staid with her the last time, three weeks before she was stabbed; I never told him J had slept with Belena; he knew it though; Isaw Schaffenberg there in the afternoon before the night of the murder; we talked together sbout Hamburg, but not about the girl; when Schaffenberg went away in the afternoon, 1 went into the room with Helena, and remained with ‘her till supper time; Schaffenberg knew I was with Helena, for he called me from the room to take something to drink; Helena and I sat down on the sofa after uppers in the var room; Schaffenberg was before us, a playfally striking Helena with a stick; Rebel sat on one side of me, and saying something, 1 turned around to see what he had to say, and while I was turned around, I heard the girl exclaim: “0, my Jesus—my life is gone!’ f turned around and saw the blood rupning from her side; I ran for doctor; after the stab, Schaffenberg sat down in a chair. Cross-examined—} did not tell Schaffenberg that J slept with Helena, but he knew it; he saw me go to bed with her; othe me staid with her; any one could slecp with her who wunted to; she wns there for this pur- pore: Schaffenberg was under the influence of liquor on the day cf the murder: he looked very wild.

(The knife was here shown to the witness and jury; it was an old rusty dirk knife, the blade being avout six inches long.) Cross-examined—I do not remember that I said before the Coroner that Schaffenberg said he hoped he would be hung the next day; the prisoner spoke broken English, Mr Michael shéean sworn—I am a policeman; i was on my beat, in Greenwich strect, on the night of the 24th of September last; some oue toki me there was » stabbing case in the house; I did not go in alone; I rapped for as- sistance and then went into the house: I saw the de- ceased lying on a bod bleeding from her breast; I asked “Who did this?’ T was told tt was Sel berg; 1 arrested.

Princeton, Sept. 16, 1855, Permit me, through the columns of your paper, and in behalf of the citizens of Princeton, to assert that most of the statements and facts contained ina letter which ap. peared in your daily paper of the 15th inst., relative to the affray which occurred here on the night of the 11th, are false, and were made more to cover the outrageous conduct of the students, and to throw the blame on the the officers of justice and the few citizens who were do- ing their duty, than togive a plain ond unvarnished statement of facts. The only truths contained in the whole article are these:—That they (the students) were engaged in a “horn spree;’’ that they were serenading Prof, Alexan- der; and that great credit is due to Prof. Giger and Presi- Cent Mclean to quiet the rioters; the attempt to arrest others; the injuries received by the officers, and the re- sistange of the students. Your correspondent, ‘ Specta- tor,"’ asserts that the students, while in front of "Professor Alexander's house, ‘were assailed by & large posse of special policemen, sworn in for the cecasion, who without giving any notice of their inten- tions immediately felled several of the students. Now, for the true facts. Marshal Hullfish, accompa- nied by Assistant Marshal Duryea, the only ‘special po- liceman’’ sworn in for the occasion—and indeed they were the only ofiicers, with the exception of the Mayor, present—at the order of the mayor, crossed the street, unaccompanied by any citizens, and attempted to arrest one of the students, when ho resisted their efforts, Hullfish while thus engaged in his duty, received a se- vere blow on his head, froma cane in the hands of one of the students, and finding that they (Hullfish and Dur- yea) were not able to do their duty against the force of a hundred and fifty students, they called on the citizens for assistance, (of whom there were not over fifteen or twenty on the ground,) and be it said to their shame, only five or six responded to the call. This is ‘Spectator’s” ‘large force of special policemen,” And I affirm that the only person armed, as the term gees, was Mr, Hullfish, who, by virtue of his office, carried a pistol, a ‘billy’? anda cane, Mr. Duryea had nothing but nature’s arms, which he used to good purpose. Three or four of the citizens had canes. Mayor Martin used his utmost endeavors to restore peace and order, Furthermore, the students had re- ceived notice from Mr. Hullfish not to come out of the campus; if they did, they would be grested. And no students were “felled to the ground’? until they resisted the officers. Howard V. Hullfish, a son of the Marshal, was knocked senseless. The Mar=hal succeeded in arrest- ing his man, and taking him to the Mayor’s office, when the building was attacked by the students, by smashing in the windows and trying to foree the door. Oliver was held to buil in the sum of $1,000, to appear at the next term of the court, commencing the fourth Tuesday in this month. Mv. Daryea made the complaint. LOVER OF THE TRUTH. The Camden and Amboy Company. TO THE EDITOR OF THE NEW YORK HERALD. The company say, in their published report upon the Birlington tragedy, that “in all particulars the law of the State and the regulations of the company were fully complied with by those agents and empioyés having charge of the train on the 2th of August,’ and ina word, “that the proper lookout on the part of the brakeman, conductor and engineer, was observed, the warning whistle was sounded, and all due diligence, vigilance an‘ precaution, were studiously and scrupulously practised." Such is the statement of the Camden and Amboy Com- pany. Now what say the law and the testimony? Be it eni yy the Senate and Assembly of New Jersey, “That every incorporated company that hath been, or here’ afier shail be authorized to construct any rallrosd in this State, shall cause to be placed on some part of every locomotive en ‘ine, used by any such company, a bell, of'a weight not less than thirty pounds, or a steam whistle which con be heard dis- tinclly ata distance of at least three hundred yards, and shall cause such bell to be rung, or such steam whistle to be blown, at the distance of ut least three hundred yards from the place where any such railroad crosses a turnpike road or highway upon the Same level with the said railroad; and such bell shail be kept ringing or such steam whistle ‘shall continue to be blown until the engine has crossed such turnpike or highway, or bas stopped.” (Act of March 26, 1852, Nixon’s Digest of Laws of New Jersey, page 6°0.) Now for the testimony:— Was the *: warning whistle sounded?’ Was this law ‘fully complied with in all particulars,” as the company ositively alleges! Indeed, the evidence before the coroner leaves it’ in doubt whether the ‘warning whistle was sounded”? at all after the train commenced backing. Is there any one so insane as to suppose if the * warn- ing whistle’’ “had been blown continuously, as required by law, for three hundred yards before the fatal collision, that the doctor would uot have heard ff and kept clear of the railroad track Please publish the above and subserve the cause of truth, Letter from one of the Dropped Naval Of- Officers. TO THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD. ‘States Istany, Sept. 17, 1855. 1 have been officially informed that I have been dropped from the rolls of the navy by the board or secret inquisition, Intely in session at Washington. Those who know me—my contemporaries in the service— will understand that I have not been dropped on any other account than that [have gained the reputation, among a certain set of senior officers, of being insubor- dinate. They will know, too, that that reputation is false and unjust, and that it has been gained by the fact that Ihave always been prominent in opposing the op- pression, the arrogance. the ignorance and the imbecility of some of those with whom it has beem my misfortune to have sailed. A recent trial in the Pacitic—the entire facts of which I will shortly bave printed for circula- tion among frien:s and others interested—will be an evi- dence of it. Asan instance of the injustice with which Ihave had to contend, | will mention that even after the sentence of the court which tried me had been fulfilled, (procured though it wus by a deliberate falsehood on the part of the prosecutor,) 1 was placed on farlough on my arrival in the country without investigation in the mat- ter. Tarrived, and reported my arrivalon the Ith of July, and my furlough is dated 12th July. On rep ieenle = | ee, with the President on this subject, Iwas rudely told, “I gave that order, sir. I thought it the best way of disposing of the case.” ’ [ have reason to believe that this rudeness of manner of Presi- dent Pierce was aa tm by personal feeling in the mat- ter, caused by friendship with certain connections of the prosecutor of the cbarges against me. who had doubtless prejudiced him. Letters of introduction from two tle. men of high standing should have seeured me at least a polite reception. I shall be fully able to justify myself in the opinion of all honorable and reasonable men. A. C. RHIND. Personal Intelligence. ARRIVALS.
