AFFAIRS IN CUBA» Oar Havana Correspondence. Havama, Nov. 8, 1859. Importation of Africans—Orime in Ouda—Bank Korperies— ‘Discounts—the Weather—Cortesi and the Opera—Sugar Market, &o. My Cardenas correspondent, in his Jast letter, alluding to the removal of Colonel Guyoso from the Lieutenant Governorship of that jurisdiction, says:—‘ It is difficult to estimate how many thousand Africans were landed Gn that jurisdiction during Colonel Guyoso’s time theré, or how much he and his accomplices put in their pockets ‘as the price of thelr conuivance, or how much of the Colonel's enormous gains have been participated in by others, nor who the otlers are; but that it is not likely that in a place where notoriously so many slaves have Deen landed in Guyoso’s time, he bas been permitted to have all the profits.”” My Pinar del Rio correspondent informs me that Brigudier Torrin has been removed from the Lioutenant Governorsbip of that jurisdiction. He came from Spain ‘as asort of privileged officer, and was first sent to Trini- dad de Cuba, whore ho gttempted to ride roughshod over everybody, and a state of disorderly discipline ensued which, with his overbearing conduct, caused his removal, and he was sent to Pinar del Rio, whére in nine months be bas allowed nearly 2,000 slaves to be landed (1,700, I believe, is the exact number as far as known), and he and his colleague, Senor Tornol, the Alcalde, Mayor, and the Capitan de Partido, have received a hunded dollars for each slave landed, making the nice little sum of one hundred and seventy thousand dollars between the three, of which it is butrea- sonable to suppose the gallant Brigadier received the lion’s share. No doubt, however, exists but that the two others have each secured a handsome fortune. It is a singuler fact that here in Cuba we never hear of ‘a single ingtance of the commission, or attempt at commis- ‘sion, of a particular description of crime; there is always series of them following close upou one another, Coin- ing spurious money and forgery are the particular crimes, Of which I have now three cases to relate to you. AtSau Antonio de los Banos, which is distant about seven leagues from this city, there was discovered by an active officer of potice machine for counterfeiting coin, together with Beals, dis ., &c.; also another machine, with a coun- terfeit bla {ula of protection” for slaves, together ‘with paper and other printing materials, crucibles, and a now combination of metals—an imitation of silver, All these articles were found in ihe possession of certain late iuembers of the chain gang, one of whom, in 1854, was a member of tbat worthy fraternity on suspicion of being a counterfeiter. He also had in his possession a work on chemistry, treating particularly of the counterfeiting of metals: and the others now im prison Lad also in their posession various kihds ef arms, all of which were seized. ‘The secoud case is asupposed’ attempt at forgery of the Dills of the nish Bank of Havana, The following per. sons Lave been arrested, and are in close confinement, uncer this charge:-— Don Carlos Barreiros, Celaior, General of the Accounts, Xc., of the bank; Don Andres Stanislaus, whom everybady believes to be innocent, his arrest being caused from his name being mentioued in an intercepted Jetier in a manner which throws a little suspicion upon him, but no one who knows him believes him to be capa- Die Of committing any crime, and he denies having com mitted himself in auy manner; he certainly might have made Lis escape, but would not do so; an officer of the Post Office, whose name is said to be Hernandez or Fer. nandez, and « tailor named Rojus, and bis mistress. Nothing was found in the house of Barreiros. At the residence of the m which contained $37,000 worth of counterfeit Post Ottice Stamps. There was also found paper of the kind of ‘which the bills of the Spanish Bank of Hayana are made, ink, &. It is understood that $150,000 of genu bills of the ‘Dank were fonnd ia the desk of Barreiros, te Celador at the bank, which should have been elsewhere, in the proper they were 8, $50, $100, ‘&e., one bill being missing from each series. He bas not (upon being interrogated) been able to account for the Dilis being in his desk, nor for the missing ones. It is farther reported, though this seems to require con- firmation, that there has been found a large number of bonds, with all the signatures of the officers of the bank forged except Barreizos", which are suid to have been pre. pared in the expectation that the hank would haye issued ‘bonds before the receipt of the last royal order authori- ging the increace of the capital and issue of the bank could have been executed.

A little sharp practice on the part of James, with some moncy, induced the man to tell where he thought Rouse could be found. He stated that he had iived in New Jer- sey, but bad moved to Chelsea, Massachusetts. James then telegraphed to Lowell to come immediately. They proceeded to Chelsea, Boston, New York city, Williams- burg, Jersey City, striking his trail at every point. At the last named place they lost ali track of him, as he had moved away. Jumes remained there, while Lowell pro- eceded to Schenectady to gain further information of the pal, if possible, While Lowell was gone, James ingra- tated himself in the good graces of au old widow lady and her family, with whom Rouse and his wife had boarded. James was satisfied the old lady knew where he was, and he mapaged very adroitly to procure the coveted in- formation. The family were pious, or professionally 80, and so James played pious too, joining in pious conversation with them and attending church with them. In this way he gained their confidence, and at last the old lady said she would tell him where Rouse was if he would agree to suppress her naine and give her a certain amount of money, The money was handed over, when she said Ronse iad moved to Hudson, New York, #nd described the locality. James theu teie- raphed to Lowell, at Schenectady, to return to New Fone at once. The two met there, and came up the river on the steamboat Armenia, arriving at Hudson at four o'clock last Saturday morning. First taking a survey of Rouse’s dwelling, where he was living in Sine style, they repaired to a hotel, anu then iaid their plans for’ his cap- At the hotel Mr. James registered his name as “John C. Root, of Harper's Ferry,’’ and Mr. Lowell registered his “Geo. W. W: Harpersport.’? Rouse being one of the shrewdest and most desperate atence, aud having stated repeatedly that he would sooner die than be taken, they did not deem it ad- visable to attempt to arrest him in bis honse; so they dis- guised themselves somewhat, and proceeded to a gentle- Tan's residence opposite to Rouse's house, aud after first satistying themselves that all would be safe, they stated their business, and requested permission to occupy their lor to wateh the burglars across the way.

Lowell followed her ata distance. Shortly after Rouse, the “game” the off had been in pursuit of for over two years, made bis uppearance, aud waiked down street diso. James pursued bim carefally for several blocks, anxiously look. ing for Towell ali the time. At length he discovered him ong way ahead, coming up & Cross street. He gave proper | him ‘their private and stient signal, as much as to say, our man—look out for bim.”” M took the hint; and, stepping acro#s the street, came up $0 as to meet Rouse face to face, while James graduated his pace so that he should overhaul Rouse at | the same time that Lowell should meet him. Nearer and nearer the gap closed up until all three came together. Now was the important time, the time for presence of mind, and the time for action.’ Lowel! reached his hand out tohim, saying, “How do you do, sir? I think I haye seen you somewhere.” Taking hold of Lowell’s extended hand, be replied, “I think you must be mistaken.’ Lowell bi “s hand to give it a long shake, when of James, coming up, spoke out, saying, “How do you do, Mr. Revenge? 1 believe that was what you once called yourself in a letter to me.’’ At this sudden announcement Rouse jerked his hand away from Lowell and made a pass for his side pocket, and at the ‘nstant, just in the nick of time, James canglit him by the arms from behind, aud held him while Lowell put on the handcuffs, and he was then marched off to jail. On being kearched a large oirk knife was found in his side pocket, which Mr. James has now at his office. Besides this, they found some important memoranda upon hi person, bam implicate certain parties, and may lead to their ar- rest On their return to search Rouse’s house, they met his wife in th» street, who is described as a very pretty and ‘They discovered upon her wrists a ets, which they recognized as having eon stolen from Mr. Welch, at Auburn, at the time of the burglary.

During the ten minutes before Mr. Irving came in, (for he was out upon his morning drive when we arrived), his pieces very kindly gratified our interest in the ‘“work- shop of genius” by taking us into the library—the little curtain windowed sanctuary where his mind had found both ite labor and its Tepose, though, by the open news. papers scattered carelessly over the large writing table in the centre, and the inviting readiness of the well cushianed lounge in the recess, it uow serves more the purpose of the repose more ngeded. It was a labyrinth of books, as it was a labyrinth 8f tender associations, in which, as the eye royed over its consecrated nooks ‘and corners, the faucy, in ali reverénce, rambled lovingly. The tear at the heart kissed the threshold as we left it. I was looking admiringly, once more, at Jarvis’s record of him at the Sketch-book period of his life, (the portrait with the fur collar, which all who have ceen it will so well remember,) when Mr. Irving came in from his drive, We had heard so much, recently, of his ilness, that I was son aes. to see with how lively and firm a step he enter | -Temoving the slouched hat (a comfort- abie departure from the old school covering, which I had never expected to see on so proper a head!) with as easy elegance ag ever, sitting down with his gray shawl left carelessly over bis shoulders, and entering upon kind inquiries and exchange of courtesies with no hindrance of debility that I could see, He is thinner somewhat, ia both form and features—owing to the asthma, which in- terferes somewhat with his repose when lying down—Dbut the genial expression of his countenance ts unchanged, and his eye as kindly and bright. As to sprightlinesg of atiention and reply, i could gee little difference from the ‘Washington Irving of other days. The reports of his ill- ness must have been e: rated, I thought. Conversation falling uj exercise, Mr. Irving remarked that he daily took his drive in the car- riage ; lees from any, desire to go abroad than from ’ finding, since had given up habits of labor, that time hung heavy on his hands. If he walks out, it is only in the grounds. We spoke of borseback riding, and he gave us 4 most amusing account of his two last experiences in that way—a favorite horse called Gentleman Dick having thrown him over his head into a laurel bush, which kindly broke his fail; and an- other very handsome nag, given him by his brother, having proved to be opinionative as to choice of road—particularly at a certain bridge, which it. was very necessary to pass, in every ride, but which the horse could not by any reasonable persuasion be gatover. With the sending of this horse dogmatist to town, to be sold to meaner service for his obstinacy, had ended the experi- ments in the saddle. We had two “Mr. Kennedys” in the dining room—our friend’s portrait, as he sat at the dinner table, hanging directly over his head. Mr. Irving sat between that and the portrait of Count Portalis, on the wall opposite— the latter the accomplished ncbman who accom- panied him on bis trip to the Prairies. He was an absent friend of whom they both spoke, now, with admiring re- membrance—showing most expressively how precious, sometimes, is the gentle reminding of the por- trait on the wall. The ex-Secretary had return- ed recently from a tour in Europe, where he had met mapvy of Mr. Irving’s friends, and he took tHis opportunity to speak of them with their mes- sages of 1g Tegurd—Lord John Russell's more par- ticularly, who had been most earnest in bis desire to be named tenderly once more to bis friend of other days. ‘Avy one who has chanced to see and enjoy the half em. barrassed smile and Icok ot deprecating humility with which thie, our most modest of afreat men, receives an honorary tribute, will und-rstand why it was a pleasure to be present at the opening of Mr. Kenneay’s rich bud- get of Irving memories from abroad; and how we thus saw an unveiling of the beloved face recognized in his works, which was better worth treasuring than any por- trait of the courtly outer man. In regretting that asthma prevented his enjoyment of our more bracing air higher up the river, Mc. Irving spoke with glowing admiration of the beauty of scenery about the Highlands. Yet I could not but call the attention of my triend Wise, sat at the table with the window at his back, to the Joveliness of the picture he was then losing—the lake-like expanse of the Hudson from the lawn of Sunnyside to the opposite hore, andthe garden of up- lauds swelling to the horizon beyond and columned in by the Palisades below. Just at that moment one of the large Albany steamers, gliding powerfully and swiftly on its way tothe city, crosseathe line of the glorious laddscape to which the window was a frame. We were all delighted with the chance accident of effect. A better timed luxury of life-addition to a picture could scarce haye been contrived atany cost—a value received,’ however, for which there is uo charge, 1 believe, by the holders of stock in the “ Albany Day Line.”’ I mention it because ‘Wise thought it would be but a return compliment to the captain to know that he had figured well in the picture— admired by Mr, Irving and his guests as be passed Sun- nyside so obligingly that day. ‘The honored invalid comp! ing @ little of hoarseness in his voice, I mentioned to him an alleviative I had late- ly chanced upon myself, for a similar trouble—asking accideutally for some help to my hoarseness in an apothe- cary’s shop, and getting a lozenge with a most mysterious name, which { bad since foand an invariable throat deep: ener for three notes in the gamut.

There was some passing discussion of the wearing of beards—his friend Mr. Kennedy having made that alteration in his physiognomy since they had met—and Mr. Irving cloced a playfnl comment or two upon the habit by saving that he could scarce afford the luxury himeelf, involving, as it_ would do, the loss of the most effectual quietus of his nerves. ‘To get up and shave, when tired of lying awake, sure of going to sleep immediately after, had long been a habit of his, There was an amusing exchange. of sor- rows, also, between him and Mr. Kennedy as (o persecution’ by autograph hunters; though the ex- Secretary gave rather the strongest instance—montioning an unkuown man who had written to him when at the head of the Navy Department, requesting, as one of hig constituents, to be furnished with autographs of all the Presidents, of himself aud the rest of the Cabinet, and of any other distinguished men with whom he might be in correspondence. But there was a table calling for us which was loss agreeable than the one we were at—the ‘time table’? of the railroad below—and our host's carriage was at the door.

We were at Lome by seven, and over our venison supper, (the “Alleghany baunch” still bountiful,) we exchanged our remembrances of the day, and our feli¢itations at having been privileged, thus delightfully, to see in his home and in health, the still govercign Story-king of the Hudson.

Men babitually- cautious in forming their judgment do not hesitate to say that they look for events in the spring of far more portentous cha- racter than any the last haif century has witnessed. It may be for good, or it may be for evil, but France is soon about to play a great stake, they say. She is in the hands of one whose confidence in his success is certainly not un- warranted ; and there are signs abroad that the hour isat hand when much that has humiliated her may be effaced, and her triumph be rendered as brilliant as her former abusement was degrading. Go where you will, talk where you like, there is a fixed idea in men’s minds of something being in the wind. The statesman, the diplomat, the com- mercial man, the broker, the man about town, all hold the same tone; and yetno one’s opinion as to details seems worth a straw. Indeed, how can it be, when there is but one man in the empire—he who holds the seeptre— who knows what is to come next? Of course the tone of journals entirely uuder the influ- ence of government has much to do with this, though the whispers which parade society are often antecedent to what appears in those quarters. The Constitutionnel, as it possesses the highest authority, so is it the more piquant in its reflections. It was only on Friday last that it ap: peared with an elaborate leader ou the subject of the trea- ties of 1815, “tat which time,” it says, “the Powers of Europe took their revenge on France, and yielding to the dictates of a long pent up resentment, assigned to her a ined.

The Prince beard the Emperor to the end ‘without once interrupting him, but when bis Majeaty had finished he assured him there was no such danger from the populations a5 he apprehended, that reforms were preparing for them, and that never had they exhfbited greater loyalty than now. As regarded any itions for peace, he could not venture to utter a word without reference to the Emperor bis master, ‘Then it was that Napoleon seized the opportunity of pressing for s personal iuterview with the Emperor, with whom, be said, he could effect more in au hour’s conversation than in mouths of correspondence by their respective ministers. Prince Hesse delivered his message to his master, but Francis Joseph did not like the terms. ‘The Quadrilateral was still untouched, and any idea of giv- ing vp fortresses Was not to be thought of. He wrote to Napoleon, but in such astyie that the Fmperor of the ench, when showing the letter afterwards to some friends, declured that his feelings hud been more ailected by it than he could express. It determmed bin to make another attempt at an arrangement, and on the 9th of July he sat down and wrote u long letter to Prince Hesse, in which Lis first propositions were so modified that by’ common consent the two Emperors met at Villafranca on the 1th. kye witnesses of the scene, penetrated by the solemnity of the occasion, say it Was alfec\.og to wituegs the ineei- ing of these chief personages in the "great drama. Sur- rounded by a brilliant and numerous cortege, they ad- vanced to each olber and gaye the right hana of fellow- ship, ‘Time does not permit me to speak of their retire- ment to the house of M. Gundini-Morilli, and how they mounted up juto the first oor—how, after talking leave of their respective escorts, two sentinels of the Cent.Garde guarded the ante-chamber and two others the railing of the house, to keep off ali Fis eas and how it was the Emperor ot the French who held thé pen and nojed down on a sheet of foolscap the points conceded. I haye written enough, 1 hope, to excite the reader's less distinguished position than she merited. It was a grave fault, for if France was to be punished thero was no reason why she should be humiliated. The events of 1830 to 1848 proved the futility of all that had been done ‘against hor, and now the Emperor’s government has ‘a mission—not to renew the gigantic struggle of the begin- ning of the present century, but to change their mandate of vengeance, France went to the East—she went to Jtaly— what for? To establish the balance of power,”’ &e. Tonly make a passing allusion to this significant arti cle, as probably it has already fallen under your atte tion; but this morning a leader of more particular appli- cation has appeared, which cannot fail to excite the su ceptibilities of tho English press. It is on Ireland, and in a very insidious way—under pretence of dispassionately examining the reasons for the continued Irish antipathy to Saxon domination—contriyes to demonstrate the utter alienation ef the country in regard to England. It qnotes the expressions of the Irish press at the of the Indian revolution, so full of sympathy for the rebels, and the remark made in 1853 by an ‘irish member, that if off the coast of Ireland an Foglish and Ameri- can vessel came to blows, it would not be to the former that Irish sympathies would be given—au observation which the ZVatwn declares to be no less true in 1859 than in 1863, ‘The Constitutionnel then proceeds to dilate upon the fact that while the English are indulging thelr mad fear of invasion and patting arms into the the hands of all their population, they dare not entrust them to the Irish. It then makes particular. allusion to the discovery of tho Vhouix Society and its connection with the Irish of the United States—how the emigrants were to return in the militia uniform and arms of the United States, and pay a ompiimentary visit to their brethren in the Emerald Isle, and so forth, and what intense susceptibility all this ex- cited in the Eoglish government, An article of this nature, appearing in sich a journal and at sich a moment, when men’s hearts are sore about they don’t know what, does, to say the least of it, not mend matters. ‘The Afoniteur, after euumerating sundry offences of the Morocco tribes, in August and September jast, against tribes in Algiers under the wgis of France, announces that ‘such audacity merited a severe chastisement, and accord- ingly sch chastisement has been administered, e advent of Governor Floyd a8 the successor of Mr. Mason is spoken of by the semi-ofticial journal in the fol- lowing terms-—‘Mr. Buchanan is considered to have paid France an especial compliment in thus sending a gentle- aman belonging to one of the most ancient families of Vir- ginia, and who was then filling the high post ot Secretar; of War in the Cabinet, as_ his ambassador to the Court of the Tuileries.” It adds that Governor Floyd is already .| known by his amiable deportment and the charm of his conversation. ‘Among other contradictions, the Constitutionnel is also authorized to give one to some German journal, who has announced for publication secret memoirs of the Emperor Napoleon Iil., taken away surreptitiously from the Elysée. It i8 empowered to declare that no such memoirs ‘ever existed, and the publication of such isa mere fraudulent speculation. To-day unother Cabinet Council is to be held at St. Cloud, under the presidency of the Emperor, at which the Empress aesiste. ‘To-morrow the Court adjourns to Compiegne, where preparations to receive the Emperor are being made on a grand gcale. The municipal council has given the Mayor acarteblanche for the erection of triumphal arches, on which the names of Montebello, Palestro, Magenta, Marignan, Solferino, Villafranca, &c., are to be inscribed. it wus at first reported that the English ambassador was not among the invited, but the Paérte takes care to cor- rect sucb a mistake, and announces that the English am- vassador and Lady Cowley are among the very first guests to be received. ‘A brochure—it may be almost called a book—has just appeared from the pen of the Chevalier Louis Debraux, the title of which is “La Paix do Villafranca et les Conte- rences de Zurich.” A copious review, or more properly speaking, some copious translations, filing three columus of the paper, have been given in Galignant’s Messenger, which will doubtless fail under your eye. T forward), however, the work itself to you, a8 being one that cannot fail to furnish matter of interest to your readers. With- ont entrenching upon any of the Measenger’s extracts, per- haps it will not be awiss to give your readers a sho analysis of the first part of the work, which will be as much as the limits ofa letter can admit.

M le Comte Col: loredo and M. de Bourqueney, the Austrian and French pienipotentiaries, he “considers exactly he parties that should have been selected for » great work before them. They had Jong been tavor- y known to each other during their various diplom missions, and were on terms of cordial friendship. ‘That Austria should have consented to the Conference being held at Zurich was a proof of her superiority to the fetters of the Holy Alliance, for when the Czar Nicholas was de- sirous of making Napoleon If. pay his entry into the com. munity of European sovereigns by tixing on him. an agreement to a conjoint occupation of Swiizorland—that hotbed of revolution, as the Ozar thought—it was the Em- peror of Austria who undertook to propose the circum stance to M. de Bourqueneg, then Frenet. Ambassador Vierma. The reply of the Ainbassador was very decis iven though my instructions,” he said, “should bo to eign any such agreement, rather than agree to substitute ‘the defence of foreign troops tor that defence which nature herself has given France on the side of the Alps, £ would cut off my right hand.’” M. le Chevalier Debraax shows that the famons ultima. tum—which Lord Derby characterized ag a criminal act on the part of Austria—was not, as was generally supposed, the actof the Emperor Francis Joseph, who, seeing himseit at the head of a numerous and high!y disciplined army, could not resist the desire to aisplay on the battle ficld the power of the House of Hapsburg; but of Count Buol, who, believing the times and circumstances not very dissimilar to those of 1814, when Prince Metter. nich succeeded in stirring up al) Europe against the poli- cy of Napoleon 1., imagined he could bring about a like combination agaisst Napoleon iIf., 0 that, to nse the subsequent language of Napoleon himself, be would scru ple to make war against the will of Europe. Haying cleared up this misconception, the Chevalier proceeds:—“Threo leagues from Verona, on the road which leads to Mantua, is @ little town, containing some 7,000 souls; it is Villafranca. Tho Emperor Franets Jo. keph had paseed the night there before the battio of So) ferino, in a private house belonging to M. Charles Gaudiui Morelli, and situated in the middie of the Grande Rue.

GRAND MIDNIGHT PARADE—TRE MYSTIC ORDER VERY MUCH MYSTIFY THE PUBLIC—LONG CLOTHES, SHORT CLOTHES, NIGHT GOWNS NIGHTCAPS, COWLS, HELMETS, GONGS AND VARIOUS OTHER MATTERS, NATURAL, UNNATURAL AND OTHERWISE, [From the Boston Bee, Nov. 11.) ‘The ‘Sons of Malta,’ that mysterious, eccentric, pro- found body, of which we hear so much, know s0 little, and see Jess, made a parade last night, much to the sur: prise of the good people of our city. As the strange cortege passed through our streets to the sound of its strabger music, it excited general attention, ‘The “Sons,”? numbering about 1,200, assembled at Faneuil Hall, where they dressed for the grand occasion, putting off the costume of the citizen and donning the mysterious one of the order. There was a deal of bustle and prepa- ration within, while without a curions public had begun to assemble in considerable numbers. Uncouth, monk like ‘objects were occasionally seen to pass the windows or door, while now and then a costume of brilliant hue and glistening ornament would mingle in the scene, Up stairs and down; down stairs aud up they continned to wind their way. Iu the course of time members would come out, mount their horses, aud ride back in the swiftest and most incomprehensible manner, and for the most incomprehensible purpose. This done, they dis- mounted, and passed into the hail. ‘This was’ frequently repeated. At ten o'clock w !orge crowd—some 5,000~ had gathered in the vicinity of the hal!, aud manitested much impatience to witness the advent of the Sons. At length, ai about half-past ten o'clock, they einerged with officers and band, accoutremert and’ costume, and com- menced their inarch, passing through Merchants’ row, Blackstone, Hanover, Charter, Hanover, Court) Chimbers, Cambridge, Temple, School, Washing: r, Sonth, Es ex, Harrison avenue, and to the returning through Shawmut avenue, Dover, Pleasantana Charles streets to the Common, and hence to the bali. The procession led off with three mon in helmets, and dressed in brilitant costume, mouuted on gorgeousiy,capa- rigoned horses. Their faces were covered, and in the right hand they vore swords. ‘These were, we are to sup- pose, their commanders. Immedixtely belind were seve- ral sectious on foot, attired iu fancy but rich costumes, bearing in their hands Jong spears. ‘These were followed by a band, who pertormed the mot tmcarthly of tunes, interspersed with heavy blows upon a huge gong; aud this, again, to the accompaniment of mutlled drums. But the crowddl state of our columns does not permit a detail of the composition of the procession. ‘There fol- lowed those above specified secuons atured in a great va- riety of costumes, some in immaculate white, others in deep black, and ‘sull others im parti-colored yarments, Nearly ali wore masks or other covering to the face, thus cognito. Those dreased in mpany ia night-gowns, and the heads being covered, like nightcaps? Some were short, otbers tail. The white aud black wore ed by thé more showy costumes, evidently procured from some of our well stocked theatres, Tn the columu were a number of banne scribed. ‘here were also several carriages, containing embers of the order in costu Ip another place was a large frame, upon which was piaceda huge book, or the representation of one, iferibed with the syinbolg of the order. ‘This design was borne upon the shoulders of five men, Who were supported by a guard carrying muskets, ‘The Volume was not open e have wo means of knowing it , however, they were 0 variously in- all tho members had upon their garments the cross of the order, Most of them were also covered with ‘om out of the folds of which they peeped apon 1g crowd with apparent] satisfaction. In the ‘procession were gore oue hundred and fifty from New Bedtord, who came up fur the purpose, and returned ly in the morning iu a special train, Among the bands in the colamn were the Boston Brass and the New Bedford and some others mude up for the occasion. The perseverance with which some of the *music” pounded upon the gongs and drums, Was only surpassed by the sepulehral, unearthly soun'is they produced.
