The successful contractor will be able to begin the work within a few weeks. Among the passengers who arrived at Havana by the Britiak mail steamer Solent, is Senor Don Antonio Maria Segovia, en route for St. Domingo, as Charge d’ Affairs and Consul-General of Her Catholic Majesty, the Queen of Spain, in consequence of the treaty of peace lately mate between both nations, and which has been already sanc- tioned by the Spanish Cortes, The Havana Prensa re- marks on this subject that it is notorious that the policy of France and England coincides on this point wita that of Spain, and offers a new guarantee in case of any dan- ger threatening the beautiful and ever faithful island o Cuba. . News has been received at Havens that the Spanish steamship Havana, belonging to the mail line recently established, had put up at Terceira Inland, badly damaged.

DE LA CONCHA. ‘The Spanish word gallos, which I have rendered into “ghicken,’’ signifies a coarser expression. Bat is not this rather “smail potatoes” for so mighty « personage to interfere with, although it gives proof, were it wanting, ‘that the people of Cuba are thoroughly governed? The ball at Count Santo Veuia’s, the other evening— my friends who were present tell me=was a miserably stupid affair. The Count, they say, behaved stingi- ly, considering it was in honor of the baptism of his son and heir the ball was given. The au of Matanzas are graciously given au- thority to defray the necessary expenses of the census ‘from their own funds. serie ry ey mae this letter, we received information of an occurrence that took een little time since, and which exhibits the tyranny that is exercised by the police over cps suspected of any offence, 80 forcibly that I send it you without note or comment. A week or two since s party oi males and females as- sembled at the house of Yirs.—~, in the Calle San Ni colas, for the of enjoying themselves with music, singing, dancing, and s supper.

This, however, was not deemed sat tory, and they were informed that they must eith mit that they had assembled to conspire agaiat the gov- ernment, or for the purpose ¢f gambling. The latter be- ing the leaser offence, they admitted they had assembled fof the purpore of gambling, and were severally fined Aint ight dollars and sevent,-five cents, Thay have sppealed to the Real Audencia; with what benefit re- mains to be seen.

Preparations for the Grand Tacon Funeral Celebration— Review of Jacon's Career—How He Contrasted with Concha. ‘We are to have in a few days a grand funeral celebra- tion—-honorary obsequies in memory of a good man— Lieutenant General Miguel Tacon, the great reforming Captsin-Genersl of Cubs, from the Ist of June, 1334, to the 224 of April, 1888, who recently died (Oct. 8) at Mad- rd, at the ripe age of ninety years. The display will be of the most aaguat and solemn cha- racter which ean be got up in the cathedral sanctuary of San Carios, provided by voluntary subscription of the fetends and admirers of Tacon, who claim him as the founder of the prosperity of Cubs, initiated with the com- menocment of his administration, when people first began ‘to walk the streets of Havana without carrying their lives in their hands—s little better than twenty-one years ago. Tacon left here much bitter blood against him, but it dowed through hearts that had to be taught the stern lesson that their gold could not buy justice or wipe the crimson of crime from the heads of their offeniing children, His first act was one of terrible retribation, for and murder, by persons of reputable birth and association—terrible because no one had previously dared to vindicate the law or take the personal hazard of ite execution for the protectim of society: Agalast the most powerful influence of money and family, he swerved not from tbe sacred purpose of duty and justice. The great pride of Zacon was that Cuba should be regenerated by Tacon, bound more fii mly to the Spanish throne by Tacon, and that the name aud the fame of Tacon should be clean in the éatimation of the world. His every act was for the future, for his country and Tacon—or per- haps, more properly, for Tacon and his country. Wien the display comes off 1 will be # pleasant duty to give you the cetails, whish [ shall endeavor faithfully ‘to comply with. In is connection I may as well say that, from baving «een Tacon and Concha, ana studied ‘the charecters and official acts of both with comparison that I could not well avoid, Ihave found, as I thought many assimilating traits and attributes, with one grea exception, as I believed, previous to the second adminis tration of the present incumbent—that the ‘sense of jus- tice” ever in the mind of Tacon was of Tacon: {n that of Concha, unselfieh, too benevolent, it was of ju tice— ainat which he would resist the plead! of wife and child of his devotion, or the high priest, who would bend the whole panoply of his power, ‘and church for the purpose of perdon, without effect ents and cireum- ces may materially change, and may have already ebanged cr sullied the purity of Concha’s fame, but f think not. There are ting words yet to be uttered for certain acts which will shaw thagonsistency of a right J tin assiduows labor for g great public good, whieh may put bim right for futdge sist appreciation.

When speculators hold thousands upon thousands of any fancy stock, or in fact any good substantial stock, and only hold them by hypothecution, up to the «mallest margin possible, there i no certaiaty or stability in | market value. They are at the mercy of every move ment in the finaucial worid., Every little cloud that ap pears in the financial, commercial or political horizon, affects adversely tor holders storks thus held, Every contraction on the part of banking {ustitutions in any part of the universe, every little excitement among politicians, every little disagreement among nations, are likely, nay, are #ure to frighten psrties who have loaned on all claares of ungaaranteed securitios, and such loans are called in at the stortest notios, which forces these | stocks upon the market, to be sold at the curreat price, whatever it may be, The actual holders of these stocks very reldom get siarmed, They are a class of speculators who, having little to lose, are bold and confident. They veldom reslize of their own accord, and hardly ever uutil toreed to do so by the enlling in of loans, Them they all tumble tn at once, when a panis cf more or loss neveri seizes upon the market, and prices rua rapidiy dow: until « better and stronger class of » perators come in and arrest the decline. It no doubt appears strange to out wide holders of certain stock securities—to those who have invested sclely with « view to dividends—that the | arrival of @ steamer from Liverpool with unfavorable commercial advices sboulds depress such atucks three, tour and five per cent in as many days, when their pro dvetivenesy as permanent iavestnents remains unlin paired; but the cause ia found in the manner in whieh these securition are held, in the fact that thousands of shares are held by 6 #mall clique of speculators, who, | perhaps, have not the means of their own to carrya | handredth part of that quantity, and who depend slaost entirely upon loans made here wud there, aa parties ap pear disposed to make such advances.
