Havana, July 2, 1859, Visit to the Hospital of San Juan ds Dios—~lts Management— Ja, Yellow Pever Osntagious?—A Svramer on Five—Sugur Markets, Freights amd Exchange, dc. T passed a morning in the public hospital of San Juan de | Dice, and never was I more agreeably disappointed. | It is externally a largo building, with high unornamented | walls, which offer nothing to attract the eye. A sentinel | was at the door, and within, seated ona bench, a guard | of soldiers. A few paces further in sat the porter at his | desk. We pasned on, and came to an extensive syuare, in | which were growing flowers, evergreens and the broad | leafed beautiful plantain tree. i The internal construction of the building is irregular; a double gallery rung all around, which faces the open | square, j Ascending the firet (light of stone stairs, we entered the | fitst ward, which was remarkable for ite cleanly, neat *ppearance. Tt is furnished with iron bedsteads, some | with only canvass bottoms, whilst the grea‘er number had comfortable mattresses uponfthem. At its upper extrem: ty itis crossed by a yot larger room. The two containe{ rather more than two hundred beds, many of which wors then unoccupied. There were numerous nurses in th rcom, and from the look of contentment the faces of th Patients oore, except those who were racked with pain, i was evident they were well cared for. In confirmation of the opinion recently given by th> National Board of Heaith at New York, that yellow fever is not contagious, I would state that there were two or three patients in that ward who were in the throes of death from the yoilow fever, while in the adjacent beds were patienta euifering from rheumatism and kindred diseases. AS we pasted through (he ward the medical gentleman by whom I was accompanied paused at the sides of the beds of several of the patients, made inquiries into the vature of their cases, ana received cheerful and | second flight of stone steps, we entered the ) and adjoining ‘t was the surgical ward, pleased to find the same cleaniiness, neat- bets and aitention to the comfort of the patients. There was a pretty little altar fitted up in the clinical ward, and Tpagsed @ room in which | saw a pricst apparently at bis private devotions, and who, } was told, resiaed at the hog- itel. P Over a pair of folding doors I noticed the words (in Spanish, of cucree) “ feridence of tbe Siaters of Charity,” and pear by I observed a member of that estimable xia- terboon seated reading. T raised my hat as [ paseed her, | and she returned ty ealutation with a gracerulness and | eiegance that proved her ali the lady. [ was Informed | that the superintendence of the reveral wards of the hos- pital was entrusted to the Sisters of Chanty, wnd that one of their number sits up every night in each of the wards, ‘80 ag to see the nurses all properly perform their duties. The fact of these Sisters superintending the several wards of the hospital {uily eecounte for the universal neat- ness and clounliness that prevail; and Ido but exprers the simple truth when I state that except, perhaps, the Doepitais of Paris, L have never seep any which equalled, for those two eesostiaily important qualities—cleanlinoss and neatners—sho hospital of San Juan del Dios, in this mf of the Havana. t what may be caid too about the crucity of the Spaniards to their siaves, at leagt in the hospital of San Juan do Dios the black end colored clagses are equally as well cared for as the whites, for I could not avoid no- ticing in one ward particularly the occupants of nearly all the beds were colored and biack patients, and 1 was un- able to detect the slightest difference in the accommoda- tions and comforts aflorded the white and the black and colored patients. The stesmer Rapids, formerly the St. Lawrenco, on a recent rartnge from Batabano to Trinidad de Cuba, had her smoke pipe blown away ina gale of wind, and the woodwork which bad surrounded it baving caught fire, canked great niatm to the passengers, woo feared the ship would be consumed.

S. H. Tuanme, D.D., of the General Theologica Seminary, next proceette to preach the sermon, takiog his text from Luke, chapter ili., 6th and 6th verses:— “Every valley bal) be filled, and every mountain and bill ebail be brought low; and the crooked shali be made eiraight, and the rough ways shall be made smovta, Aad all flesh sball see the salvation of God.’? ‘These words, he remarked, jinply the promised extension of tbe word of God throughout the worid. In tho conside. ration of this wnd preceding, a8 well us following chapters, it must be admitted that the inspired writer bas in view the return of the Hebrews to {heir native land. It was curious that tour Evangelista ehould have applied the Worcs of the prophet to the preaching of the Gospel Throughout toe earth,as commenced by John, The appli- cation of the words of tbe vext could not therefore be con- fined to the anticipated yeturn ofthe Hebrews. It must be extended 10 the return of mankind to God. It would be efficient to show at this time that the universal diffu. | sion of the word of God wea the great aud ultimate Object of the propbesy. This same spirit per- vaded the whole Corpe!. It was seen in the promise that the seed of the woman should bruise the serpent’s bead; in the Pralme, to speaking Of Christ as the heir of upiverra! dominion; in Cbrievs comparison of the kingdom of heaven to the leaven which slowly but surely prevails in the whole mass; or toa grain of mustaro gerd, which, from being a email and insignificant object, grows to be a magnificent tree; or ta the command to preach tho Gospel to all the earth. past history of Christianity, its present position and rea- fovebie prospects, proved amply thet the deaign of the Scriptures was being carried out. Investigation could but contirm the truth of the Scriptural predictions, andireveai the deception of Mahommevansm, pagan! and beathenism. Now, was this prospect of versality of the Gospel to be mero vision, or as involving the necessity of performing practical duties to bring about such a resuit, The great object would, in God’s own time, be accom- | plished.

NORFOLK STREET METHODIST CHURUH. | A very large congregation assembled at the above i mamed church last evening, in consequence of an intima tion contained in Saturday's paper, that a sermon on the spiritual results of the war now being waged in Furope would be delivered’ by'a popular preacher. The evening service was begun in conformity with the simple and unadorned forms of the Methodist communion; and after the singing of bymns and the invocation of God in prayer, The Rey. Dr, Rontsson delivered a fervid and interest. ing address on “Tho Spiritual Significance of the War ia | Italy, with its Bearing on the Papacy and Heligion in | General.” | The first part of his discourse was confined more parti- cularly to a delineation of the state ‘of partics in Earope, | and more especially in the portion of the Continent now | being submitted to the terrible ordeal of war, and to | give an intelligibie idea of the various forms of religion | which prevail, and the entipatbies which prevail among | the professors of these different creeds.

There was some diilerence, | bowever, between France and Austria, for while in the | | one there was something like freedom in religion—other sects besides the domipant Catholic religion being tolera- ted—in Augtria there was nothing but the so-ealied Holy Catholic and Apostolic Roman church, The object of this stroggle was 10 give liberty to Italy, and the spritual coprequences of freedom to that long down trodden laud | could not be over estimated.

The corpee was laid out in an elegant rosewood coffin, with the name‘and age of deceased thereon. The firemen, tothe number of several thousand, turned out in citizen’s, dress with badges, Se. The Fire Department banner was in charge of Engine Co. No. 38. Bose Co. No. 56 acted as a guard of honor around the hearee. At three o’clock the fire alarm bells commenced tolling and the procession moved down Broadway to Sonth ferry, where it crogsed and proceeded to Greenwood, where the remains of deceased were interred. There were no re- jigious services nor prayers said on the occasion. The affair clored with a most disgraceful ight in Broad. way, between two fire companies, near the Bowling Green, and which Issted some fifteen minutes, during which time brickbats, stones and pistolsnots were fired in every direction, several parties being more or Joss in- Jered, though fortunately no one was killed. It appears that the diaturhmnoe erose as the fremen wore returniag from the funeral of James Garrens, and tae attack, it is alleged, was made mpou tbe members of [a- Fng:ne Company No 20, by the runners and some of the members of Hose Compavy No. 18. The members of the Engive Company had barely got opposite Berver street, where 18 located the carriage house of No. 18, when a shower of stoves, &c., came upon them from s party who bad kept themreives concealed ou Beaver street. Toe members of No, 20, finding themselves overpowered, re- treated up Broudway as far as Morris street, when, seoing their chance of escape impossible, they turned upon thor aseailants and drove them back ipto Beaver street.

In these terms the truc policy of Germany flows her feaerai obligations towards Austria or from from her own interests. I¢ Germany bound to go to tho support of imperial domination, menaced in Lombardy in consequence of a war which anus- tria cereelf baa commenced? The Germanic confederation as it has exieted since 1515, is by its nature and object es- eentially defensive, as the federal pact declares; and this collective force of defence is constituted ouly to guaran- tee the national Germanterritory, 80 mach was that the ultimate idea of the orgevization, that league was being discussed, ‘with greater precision that, in the event of one member of the Confederacy having non-German possessions, at war ip regezd to such peeseesions, with a foreign Power, the Confederaticn reserved to iteeit the right of pressrving Deutresity. Tbe expression of this idea was deemed un- necessary. ‘Ibe position of Germany, ip view of her fede. ra! obligations in present circumstances, from two articles of the final act ‘of 1890, which completed rst federal pact of 1816. baving possessions outside Coufedera- tion, undertakes a war ber quality as a European Power, the Confederation remains absolutely ity? and the 47th article adds ¢bet, ‘tin case such Power sbonld find herself menaced or attacked in her posses- sions, not compriged in the Confederation, the istter 1s bound to take measures of defence or an axtive the war, except afer the Diet, in anent coancli, bave recognized the existence of a danger to the of the Confederation.”’ These are the two govern the present situation. the Germanic Confederation absolutely the question.

It is pot by her legal obligations, as we have SbOwn, that Germany !s bound to Austria. Neither is it by the tradi- tions of her bistory since 1£15. On the contrary, it is re- markable what care has always been taken to keep Austrian lsaly cutsice of the sphere of the Germanic Confederation. Waen the boundaries of the German territory were fixed, it was clearly ceclared that Lombardy was not annexed to the German Federal States ‘zo an novto cxtond beyond the Alps the line of defence of the Confederation.” When, about 1820, Austria was cignosed to undertake ber crusade of reaction and repression 1y italy, she was obliged to re- assure Germaby by promising thet in no event would she have recourge to tho federal troope in what concerned Italy, More recently, when Austria, after 1848, wished to attempt, to epter into the Confederation with all her provinces of diverse Daiionalitics, ehe met a resistance more definite perbape in Europe than 19 Germany; but thas which is really a German act is the exclusion of the Anstro-Ttalian, provinces from the Zollverein. Therefore, it is that nel- (oer traditions nor federal obligations make the cause of Austria thai of Germany; and in a moro elevated point of = tbe identity of interests and of politics is less real sult. ‘When we consider this great country of Germany—with which France certainly has no desire to have enaureet even for the Rbine—a striking fact is immediately re- veslod. Ta that region which extends between Southern Europe and Russia, between the sea to the west and the Danudlan provinces to the east, there are, 90 to 5 two beings, two forces, two systema.
