C., in the year 1822, resem bling in several points the Harper’s Ferry rebellion must prove highly interesting to our readers at the pre pent juneture,and therefore we lay it before them in the following sketch, for which we have taken our mate vials chiefly from the bistory of the transactions prepared by the Mayor and published immediately after the evouts by the authority of the Corporation of Charleston. ‘The first revelation of this extensive negro plot, whose @esign was te massacre, on the 16th of June, at dead of aight, every living white skin, was made to the Intendant, or Mayor, of Charleston, on the 30th of May, 1822, by a yepectable gentleman of that city, who had on the morning of the same day returned from the country, and obtaimed on his arrival an inkling of what was going forward from a favorite and confidential slave ef his, to whom the conapiracy had been divulged on the previous Saturday by @ slave of Messrs. Paul, named ‘William. The latter had been inthe fish market, and ‘meeting the other, who was gazing ata vessel in the mtream with a’ singular flag, said to him, Ihave often seen a flag with the number 76 on it, but never with 96 before. Aftersome trifling conversation he remarked with great earnestness:—‘Do you know that something serious is about to take place’? The other replied, “No.” “Well,” rejoined William, “Tuere is, and many @f usare determined to right ourselves’? On Ddeing ‘asked for an explanation, William continued—“We are determined to shake off our bondage, and for this pur- pose we stand on a good foundation, many have joined, and if you will go with me I will show you the man who thas the list of names, who will take yours down.” The negro to whom this disclosure was made was appalled, and inatantly left his tempter, telling him he was satisfled with his condition, was gratefalto his master, and desired wochange. Under the burthen of this secret he could met remain easy, and consulted a free man of color, who urged him to communicate it at once to his master, ‘and accordingly he did so, the master, as we have said, fapparting it to the Intendant. ‘The Corporation was summoned to meet two hours ‘iter, and the attendance of the Governor was invited. ‘The clave of the informant was examined, and detailed the foregoing conversation. William was then examined, ‘but flatly denied all about the conspiracy, admitting, how. ever, with some equivocation, that he had had a conver. sation with the other slave, on the day in question, about he ship in the harbor with the gingular flag. His indica- téons of guilt were such that he was sent to the guard house for the night, and being placed in charge of Captain Dove he ‘made some disclosures to that gentleman, which led to another examination, in which he admitted the whole of Ibis conversation with the slave at the fish market, and stated that Mingo Harth had the muster roll of the in- surgente. Mingo Harth and Peter Poyas were then examined, nd they treated the charge with so much cool mess and self-possersion that they were 1 ved Immocent and discharged. Their tronks had been wearched, and nothing was found to implicate them Dat an obscure letter which nobody could interpret, Wut which afterwards, when a clué was afforded w it proved to be rather important. Though Harth and Poyas were set at large, it was deemed prudent to watch their movements, and spies, therefore, of their own color were paton their track. Meantime the slave William was retained in solitary confinement. At the end of a week, fearing that he was ‘te be led to the scaffold tor summary execution, he made a clean breast, and confessed all he knew. He said that he bad known of the plot for some time, mat it was very extensive, embracing an indis- sriminate massacre of the whites, and that the Diacks were to be headed by an individual who @arried about him acharm which rendered him invulne- rable. Die period fixed for the rising was on Sunday, the AA of June, at twelve o'clock at night. This information was immediately communicated to the Governor, who took measures to place the City Guard in a state of effi- Siency, and had them served with *1,600 rounds of ball eartridge, and sentinels and patrols were ordered on duty with loaded arms. Three or four days elapsed, and yet no farther intelligence could be obtained. On Friday, the night of the 14th, however—two days before ‘the time of the intended rising—the inhabitants received ample information, which fully confirmed all that had teen previously discovered, and gave very interesting @etails. This information was obtained through the in- Btrumentality of a colored class leader in Dr. Palmer's @barch. The black religious communities in Charleston fre divided into classes, over which a leader is placed having the confidence of the pastor. In one of the lasses of Dr. Palmer’s church enlisting for the insurrec thon was going forward, and a slave who had been solicited to take a part in it, and at first yielded a partial assent, Boally relented and disclosed the plot to the class Yeader, who informed his master. It appeared that three months before that time a slave named Rolla, belonging te Governor Bennett, had communicated intelligence of ‘the intended insurrection to the slave in the class, and ‘tsked him to join. He said that in the event of their rising they would not be without help, as the people from BL Domingo and Africa would assist them én obtaining thetr liberty if they only made the first movement them- elves; that on Sunday night, the 16th of June, a force would cross from James’ Island and land on South Bay, march up and seize the arsenal and guard house; that ‘another body at the same time would seize the arsenal on the Weck, and a third would rendezvous in the vicinity of his ‘master’s mills. They would then sweep the town with fire end sword, not permitting a single white soul to escape. ‘This information was well calculated to inspire terror, @enfirming, 48 it did, all that had been confessed by the slave William. At nine o’clock on the evening of Friday, ‘3 was placed in possession of the Governor. In one hour ‘the commanding officers of the city militia were convened, ‘and on that night and the following night (Saturday) @uch measures were devised as were deemed best adapted to the approaching exigency of Sunday. On Sun- day night, at ton o'clock, the following corps were or- idered to rendezvous for guard:—Captain Cattel’s Corps ef Hussars, Captain Miller’s Light Infantry, Captain Mar- Windale’s Neck Rangers, Charleston Riflemen, the City @uard, and the military under Osptain Pater- Bom. The excitement and alarm were tremsn- @ous. But the conspirators, finding the whole town eneompassed with military patrols, and knowing that ‘the plot was discovered, were afraid to show themselves. At four o’clock in the afternoon a meeting of the ring- Yeaders had taken place at Denmark Vesey’s for the pur- pose of making arrangements for the rising; and early in ‘the morning » messenger had been despatched by Vesey to @rder down the country negroes from Goose Creek, which ‘Messenger had endeavored in vain to get out of town ‘The negroes, therefore, did not rise, and when the period Thad passed for the explosion of the plot, the civil authori- ‘ties proceaded with vigor to arrest and bring to trial all @gainet whom they possessed information. A Committee Of Vigilance and Safety was at the same time organized Grom among the members of Council to aid the Intendent $m the execution of the laws, and in bringing the guilty to Might and to penishment. ‘Thie committee commenced its labors on the night of ‘the 17th of June (that following the night of the intended fmsurrection), and in twenty-four hours the following Slaves were committed to prison:—Rolla, Patteau, Matthias sand Ned, the property of Governor Bonnett; Mungo and Peter, the property of James Poyas; Amburst, the pro- perty of Mrs. Lining; Stephen, the property of 7. R. Smith Richmond and John, the property of Jonathan 1. Op the morning of the 19th of June the Court of NEW YORK HERALD, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 1, 185).—TRIPLE SHEET. trates and Frecholders assembled at the Court House, and were sworn in, when the prisoners were arraigned for | trial, being charged “with attempting to raise an insur- rection @mong the blacks against the whites,” in viola- tionot Statute of 1740, which rung as follows; Every «v1» @ who shall raise or attempt to jae an in- surrection in this province, or shall endeavor’ to delnde or euuice any slave (0 run ay ‘and leave the province, every such slave and slaves, and his and their accom- plices, aiders and abettors, shall, on conviction thereof, a8 aforesaid, suffor death. Provided, always, that it i and =may be lawful to and for the Justices who shall pronounce sentence against such slaves, by and with the advice and counsel of the froeeholders as atoresaid, ifs: veral slaves shall receive sentence at one ‘ime, to mit, ate and alter the sentence of any slave, other than such as shall be convicted of homicide of a white person, who they shall think may deserve mercy, and may inflict such corporeal punishment (other than death) on any such slave as they in discretion shall think fit. Provided, that one or morgapf tho said slaves who shall be convicted of the cri or offences aforesaid, where several are concerned, sI be executed for ex- ample, to deter others from offending in the like kind. It was decided that no slave should be tried butin the Presence of his master or attorney; that the testimony of one witness, unsupported by circumstances, should lead to no conyiction involving capital punishment, and that the statement of the accused himself should be heard in explanation of such particulars as seemed to be against him. The first prisoner tried was Rolla, the slave of Governor Bennett, and in the course of the trial it appeared that Rolla had represented himself as the commander of the force which was to assemble near his master’s mills; that he had explained the division of his forces and the order af attack, and said that his troops on their way into town would fix his Old Buck (his master) and the Intendent. On being asked by the witnesses whether he intended to kill the women and children, he remarked, ‘* When we have done with the men we know what to do with the wa men,.”’ On this testimony he was found guilty, and sen- tenced to be executed on the 2d of July. Peter Poyas, the slave of Mr. James Poyas, was tho next ringleader tried. It was proved that he had made great efforts to induce others to join the insurrection—that he was a principal chieftain, and to him was to be en- trusted the dangerous assault on the guard house. He had spoken with great confidence of the aid he expected from San Domingo. Peter was found guilty and sentenced to death on the 2d of July. The following curious letter—found in his trunk—re- ferred to in a foregoing part of this narrative, exhibits the favatical and religious element in the enterprise:— Duar Sim-With pleasure J give you an answer. I will endeavor to do i*, hoping that God will be in the midst to elp his own. Be particularand make a sure work. Fear not; the Lord that delivered Daniel is able to deliver us. All that I informed agreed. Iam gone up to Beach Hill. ABRAHAM POYAS. On this letter—which Abraham admitted he had writ- ten to Peter—he was himself put on trial; but as there ‘was no other testimony against him he was found ‘not guilty.” As far Peter, it came out on the trials of the other con- spirators that he was the most active and efficient of all the leaders, and possessed the largest share of the con{l- dence of Denmark Vesey, who was the father of the plot. Peter was a slave of great value—a first rate ship carpen ter. He possessed the confidence of his master in a re- markable degree, and had been treated with indulgence, \berality and kindness. Denmark Vesey—the chief and prime mover of the con- spiracy—was next put on trial. He was a free black man. It was proved that he had spoken of this conspiracy upwards of four years previously. All the channels of communication and intelligence were traced to him. His house was the ren- dezvous of the conspirators, where he always presided at the meetings, encouraging the timid by the hopes of suc- cess, removing the scruples of the religious by the grossest perversion of the Scriptures, and influencing the bold by all the savage fascinations of blood, beauty and booty. Tt was afterwards proved, though not on his trial, that he bad been carrying on a correspondence with certain persons in San Demivgo, of which he alone could fully reveal the nature, extent and importance; but as he kept his mouth closed, comparatively little was discovered aboat {t. As he occupies so a large spaco in the conspiracy, a brief notice of this man will not be devoid of interest. During the Revolutionary War, Captain Vesey, an old resident of Charleston, commanded a sloop that traded between St. Thomas and Cape Francais, now Cape Henry, San Domingo. He was engaged in supplying the French of the latter island with slaves. In the year 1781 he took on board at St. Thomas 390 slaves, and sailed for the Cape. On the passage he was struck with the beauty of a boy then about fourteen years of age, of whom he and the officers made a pet, taking him into the cabin, chang- ing his clothes for better apparel, and calling him Tele- maque, which was afterwards corrupted by the negroes to Telmark, and then to Denmark. On the arriyal of the ship at the Cape, Captain Vesey, having no use for the boy, sold him among his other slaves. Op his next voyage to the Cape he was surprised to learn that Telemaque would be returned on his hands accord- ing to the law of the place, as he was found to be subject to epileptic fits, thoughsold for sound. He was compelled to take him back, and thus the youth escaped the chance of being distinguished in the bloody events of San Domin- go which took place in 1791. The massacre and revolution, however, in that island suggested to him the conspiracy in which he embarked at Charleston, and from thence he ex- pected aid in his enterprise. He aspired to the distinction of a second Touesaint. Capt. Vesey did not repent having taken back Denmark, as for twenty years he proved a faithful slave. In 1800 he drew a prize of $1,500 ina lottery, with part of which he purchased his freedom, his master letting him go for $600, much less than his value. From that time to the day of his arresthe worked asa carpenter in Cherleston, and was distingushed for great strength and activity. Among the men of his color he ‘was looked up to with awe. His temper was impetuous and domineering. All his passions were ungovernable, and to his numerous wives and children he displayed the haughty and capricious cruelty of an Eastern barbarian. When arrested he was found secreted in the house of one of them. For three days search was made for him in vain, and it was not tillthe night of June 22, amidst a tempest, that he was found by Captain Dove, of the City Guard. He had ‘very nearly escaped. He was fifty-five years of age at the time of his arrest. Jesse was next convicted, and it was proved that he had said on his way to the rendezvous that “if his father did not assist he would cut off his head.” He con. fessed bis guilt, and excited no small sympathy from the sincerity of his contrition and from the mild and un- ostentatious composure with which he met his fate, Sentence pf death was passed on him on the 28th of June, and he and the five others who were the ring. leaders of the conspiracy were executed on the 2d of July. With the exception of Jesse and Rolla, they made no confessions. The rest obeyed the stern and emphatic injunction of Peter Poyas, their com- rade, ‘Do not open your lips! Die silent, as you shall sec me die!” The only other two ringleaders were Monday Gell and William Garner. The latter escaped, but was afterwards arrested and executed. From the confession of Gell after his conviction important facts were elicited, and numbers of persons implicate’. Gell, however, concealed some of the worst circumstances about himself, and Perault, ‘one of the prisoners, told hit to his face that he (Gell) had written two Idters to St. Domingo, and that he (Pe- rault) went tothe wharf with him in April or May to give them in charge of a black cook on board of a schooner bound for that island. After he was thus accused, he confeesed the whole truth. Gell was well known in Charleston, being an excellent harnessmaker, and having his shop in Meeting street. He read and wrote with facility, and held the pen at all the meetings, at which he wrote more than one letter for St. Domingo. He enjoyed subtantially all the comforts of a free man, and Was much indulged and trusted by his master. His timo and a large proportion of the profits of bis labor were at his own disposal. He even kept his master’s arms, and sometimes his money. He was an Ebo, or native of Guinea, and had ween in this country fifteen or twenty years, Jesse, in bis confession, stated that Denmark Vesey told them they were fully able to conquer the whites of they were only unanimous and courageous as the St. Domingo people were. Denmark’s plan was to eet the mills on fire and the houses adjoining, and as soon as the bells began to ring the alarm of fire, they should kill every man as he came out of his door, that the servants in the yard should do it, and that it should be done with axes and clubs, and afterwards they should murder the women and children, for that God had 20 commanded it in the Scriptures. Some said it was crue) to kill the ministers and the women and children; but Denmark Vesey replied that it was for their own safety to do 80, and not to spare one white skin, for this was the plan they pursued in St. Domingo.. His design was to have the country negroes rise in arms at the same time with those in the city, that they might attack the forts and take every ship and vessel in the harbor, and put to death every man on board except the captains—the object of the leaders of | the insurgents being to sail from Charleston for St. Do- | mi immediately after they had got all the money out of the banks and the goods out of the stores. One of th' witnesses swore that Peter Poyas said their plan was (0 fig tthe whites tU' the English came to help them. Harry ai Jack told him the same thing—that the lish were to come there to help them, that the Ameri- could do nothing against. the English, and that the can By, lish would carry them off to St. Domingo. It appeared fro he confession of Monday Gell that French assistance wa also expected and that Frenchmen had joined. He saysi— Joe Joxe acknowledged to mo once or twice that he had joine ai he said he knew some of the Frenchmen con- ‘cerned, £t. Domingo seemed to be the model in al things of the conspirators. Gell again says:— Gaillard is concerned; be met me on the day before the 16th of June and gave me a ince of paper from his pocket; thes paper was about the battle that in St. mingo; in a day ortwo he called on me andasked if [had read it, and eaid if he had as many men he would do the same thing too, as he could whip ten white men himself. An unimpeached witness testified as follows:— About the let of June I saw in the public. papers & statement that the white people were going to build mis: sionary houses for the blacks, which I carried ani showed to Peter, and sald, see hearts: they are going to do for us; when he said, what of that? “Have you not heard that on the 4th of July the whites are going to create a false alarm of fire, and every black that comes out will bo killed in order to thin them? Do you think they would be so barbarous, said 1? Yes, said ie, Ido. 7 fear they have a knowledge of a rising San Domingo, aud they would be right to do it, to "prevent us joiuing that army if it shou’d march towards this land. As tothe numbers engaged and extentof preparation, it is in evidence tha’, around Goose Creek and Dorchester alone, 6,600 had been enlisted in the dark enterprise. From another quarter 500, and an unknown number from Hell Hole swamp. These numbers were onrolled on the docks of “the Society,” as they called their organization. The leaders coerced many into the movement under threats of death, either by poison before the insurrection broke out, or by public execution after. The same fate ‘was threatened to informers, On Saturday, the 15th, the country negroes were to rendezvous in the woods near Charleston. Those who bad no arms were to arm them- selves by breaking open the gun stores in Charleston, of which the insurgents had a list, with the number of each attached, With these they were to atlack the arsenals and then set fire to the town in different places, and cs the whites came out they were to be slzin. ‘There was deep cunningin this; for, said Peter Poyas, “if ‘we were to set fire to the town first, the man in the stee- ple would give the alarm too soon, It Will be sucha dead time of the night the whites won’t know what is the matter, and our horse companies will go about the streets and prevent them from assembling.’’ The blacks were to seize their masters’ horses as well as their fire- arms. They were to put one ball and three buckshot in each cartridge. As religious fanaticism was at the bot- tom of the affair, so the mask of religion was to bo used to further the design. “We will have prayer meetings that nig&t,” said Peter Poyas, “and there notify the townpeople when to start, and when the clock strikes twelve all must move. God has a hand tn it; we have been meeting for four years and have not been betrayed.” “This business,”’ said ong of the witnesses, “originates altoge ther with the African congregation in which Peter is a leader,”’ and Rolla, in his confession, said Denmark Vesey at the meetings used to read to them from the Bible how the children of Israel were delivered out of Egypt from bondage. When tho first rising failed, the leaders who still escaped arrest meditated a second ono, but found the blacks cowed by the execution of their associates, and by the vigilance of the whites. The 6th of July was fixed for the second attempt. The leaders waited, they said, for “the head man, who was a white man,” but they would not reveal his name. The activity of the Vigilance Com- mittee and the number of arrests they made completely paralyzed the rebellion. Upwards of sixty conspirators were seized. ‘The Court now proceeded to make a distinction between those who had been present at the mectings at Vesey’s, or had aided and abetted in money and arms, and those who merely gave in their adhesion but did not attend the meetings or enlist others in the cause. To the for- mer the sentence of death was to be awarded; to the latter, transportation beyond the limits of the United States. = Among the number of cases disposed of by the Court in asession of nearly six weeks, the case of Jack Pritchard, otherwise called “ Gullah Jack,” is one of the most in- teresting. Born a conjurer and a physician in his owa country, Angola, in Guinea, where they are matters of in- heritance, be practised these arts in the United States Without the fact being generally known among the whites, Vesey, who left no engines of power untried, turned hig eye at an early period on this necro- mancer, aware of his influence with his countrymen, who are distinguished both for their creduous super- stition and clannish sympathies, Under Jack a corps of these Gullah or Apgola negroes were organized, whose Uelief in his invulnerability was such that his charms and amulets were in greal request, and he was regarded asa man who could not be harmed unless by the treachery of his fellows. Even the negroes born in this country be- lieved in his charmed invincibility. Such was one of the mostimportant of the instruments of Denmark Vesey. ‘When Jack was brought to the scaffold he discovered the conscious weakness of his arts to aid himself, and met his fate with little firmness. He was hanged on the 12th of July. One of the witnesses on the trial testified of his imposture in these words:— Jack Pritchard called on me; he is sometimes called Gullah Jack; he gave me some dry food, consisting of parched corn and ground nuts, and said, eat that and nething else on the morning when the insurrection breaks out,and when you join us as we pass, put into your mouth this crab claw, and you can’t be wounded, and, said he, I give the same to the rest of my troops—if you drop the large claw outof your mouth, then put in tue small one. ‘Tom Russell, Jack’s armorer, who kept a blacksmith’s shop, and manufactured pikes and spears on a very ap- proved model; Polydore Faber, another Gullah, or native of Angola, who provided the handles of the pikes, and twenty others, were hanged on the 26th of July. Among this batch was Forrester, to whom the burning of the city was confided; a match rope was found in a situation where he had secreted it. Hammett, another conspi- rator, was to have attacked a gun store in Charleston, in which were five hundred stand of arms, The following table will exhibit at a glance the whole number of persons arrested, and how they were dis- posed of:-— Number of prisoners executed...

Glen was @ preacher, Palmer exceedingly pious, and a communi. cant at the church of bis master, and Purcell no less dé- Vout. The case of the latter was not without its pathos, from the deep contrition which he exhibited before his execution, the distressing interest which his mistress took in his fate, and the extraordinary delusion under which he labored. He made the following important confes- sion:— slavery was @ great disgrace to the country. This confession shows that the evil which was foretold ‘would arise from the discussion of the Missouri question had been in some degree realized in the course of two or three years. The discussion of the Kansas question hag led to the same results in Virginia, The Mr. King here spoken of was Rufus King, Senator from New York. Mr. Seward, the present Senator from New York, after ® lapse of forty years, has a Jarge share in the in- *tigation of the insurrection at Harper’s Ferry by his Rochester epecch, announcing the “irrepressible conflict Of antagonistic and enduring forces.”” Religious fanaticism had also its share in the conspiracy at Charleston as well as politics. The secession of a large body of blacks from the white Methodist church formed a hotbed in which the germ of insurrection was, nursed into life, A mojority of the Contpirators belonged i _______— eee to the African Church—an appellation which the seceders assumed after leaving the white Methodist church, and among those executed were several who had been class leaders. Thus was religion mado a cloak for the ‘most diabolical crimes on record. It is the same at this day. The tirades of the clergy at the North are driving the negro population of the South to bloody massacres and insurrections. Lecture on Catholic Education. Mr. John Mullaly, the editor of the Metropolitan Record, & popular weekly religious journal, and the official organ of the Catholics in this section of the country, delivered a lectu « on the above subject Tuesday night, in the large hall of the Cooper Institute, ‘The audience numbered about fifteen hundred persons, equally divided between ladies and gentlemen. On the speaker’s platform about fifty or sixty gentlemen, princi- pally Catholic priests and those interested in educational , matters, were assembled. ‘The speaker commenced his lecture by saying that the question of education could not be theroughly discussed in a brief lecture of an hour or an hour and a half in du- ration: it is one in which are involved the most vital inte- rests of society, and which has engaged the earnest atten- tion of the ablest minds of this and other countries. Ia this day, when the facilities for learning have been in- creased by the great inventions and material progress of the age, it has assumed proportions of the greatest magni- tude, and bas become one of the great leading questions of public discussion. Volumes upon volumes have been written upon this prolific theme, reports innumerable have been published, and tho missionaries of school and other societies have been sent on tours over Europe t> collect statistics in regard to the progress of education in the various continental countries. At times, the public mind of England and of this country has been more than usually excited on the subject, and although the excite- ment has passed away it has lost nono of its importance, and its interest for Catholics is certainly none the less vital. The fact that public systems of education, both in this country and in England, have been and are still made the instruments in the hands of proselytizing agents, whose insidious efforts are directed against the religious faith of Catholic children—although the Catholic citi- zens of the one and the Catholic subjects of the other have contributed their quota of the com- mon school fund—this fact, he said, bas led within the last few pears to a movement which, sooner or later, must result in securing to Catholics those rights which they have been heretofore denied. He then spoke elaborately of the importance of having Catholic children educated in the principles of their own religion; for to those educated without religion, or educated without proselytism as an inseparable adjunct, must always be objectionable, and can never be tolerated. The objectiouable feature in tho present system is, that re eae and practice the youth trained up in our schools are insensibly brought to the conclusion that religion is of small importance compared with mere knowledge. The consequence of this is to generate utter indifference for every form of Christianity, although thia result cannot pos- sibly be universal, for it is defeated by the influences of domestic training agd example. But so far as it is con- nected wish the system it can have no other legitimate or logical result but indifference for Christianity. To this it will be objected that Christianity is different from secta- rianism, but the contrary is the fact. In this country there is no Christianity except what comes under the heal of sectarianism. His point was that a true education should not interfere with the rights of the parents in the | religious or secular training of their children, and thatthe State, under pretence of excluding sectarianism, has no right inter; any obstacle between the education youth and the doctrines of the pavents. It is the common practice of our citizens to boast of the liberal provision we have made for education, and to refer to the magnificent public edifices which have been erected for school purposes; and if liberality of expenditure alone | is a matter for boasting, they certainly havo every right to indulge in that species of’ self laudation, But let them look into the facts of the case, et obtained statis- tics sent for their consideration from the report of the Board of Education for the year 1858. From this docu- ment it appeared that the whole amount of money ex- pended during the past year to December 29, for the main- tenance and support of the ward schools, was $1,160,256 99, which includes the salaries of teachers, the expense incurred by the erection of new schoolhouses, the pur- chase of books, and everything else that is required for the proper and successtul working of the system. On the ‘page to that on which he found these facts, there is a statement of the average at- tendance of children during the period referred wo. The number is put down at 52,248, 30 that, from a fair calca- lation, it appears that it costs something over $22 per year for the education of each pupil. Itis true that it did not cost so much to educate the pupils of the ward schools some years ago; for, according to the report of | 1854, the yearly expense of educating a pupil was about nine dollars anda half, ani the total expense of educa- tion for the year was about $431,000, or much less than one-half the present cost. He mentioned these facts to show that the cost of education in New York, under our present school system, is increasing out of all proportion tothe yearly increase of scholars. If, therefore, they were to judge from the enormous expenditure of the past year as compared with 1854, what, he asked, is the prospect for the future? This is @ question that interests every taxpayer of the city of New York, Presbyterians, Jans and other denominations as well as Catholics. From figures that he had prepared they had the means of comparing the relative expense of the two systems, and the comparison shows that while it takes twenty-two dollars in the hands of the Board of Education in New York to educate ono pupil, the same amount is amply sufficient for the education of four pupils under the system established by the Christian Brothers. In view of these facts it would really appear to be the best thing for the peor of New York to transfer the task of educating their children to these gentlemen, on the ground of public economy, ifonno other. Perhaps the day will come when they Will find, not alone in the bur- den of enormously increased expenditures, but in other things of a more serious character, a justification of tho course the Catholic community have pursued, ani the strongest ground for withdrawing that cont- dence in a system which would seem te have been devised for the purposes of proselytism. Every system of education which does not inculcate the foundation of moral principle—that is to say, religion—is essentially defective, and in the end will prove dangerous to its authors and to society. It is gratifying to learn that the necessity of religious training, as a part of the edu- cation of the young, is fully admitted by the Superin- tendent of Schools in his last report. He says, ‘ Reli- gious culture must be saperadded as the crown and com- plement ofa complete education.” So the speaker said, and in that respect there is no difference between them. But what kind of reli culture must it be? Shall it be Pro- testant or Catholic? and if Protestant, shall those of our Catholic youth, for whom we have not yet been able to make provision, be beaten into compliance with the es- tablished rules, and have their tender hands swelled to bursting because (like young Wall of Boston) they would not do that which their re- ligion, their conscienttes and their parents forbid? ar tbe the enormous difference in the e: the Public School system, as compared with that under the charge of the Christian Brothers, he presented two or three facts for their consideration in rd to the higher schools. The cost of education for each scholar in the Free Academy, according to the last annual re- Port, Js about $108, while in the Joeuits’ College in th street the yearly cost of education is but or about one third, so that for the sixty thousand dollars that the city has to pay yearly for the education of 567 pupila in the Free Academy, the Jesuit Fathers would educate over fifteen hundred. ‘His. tory says that a fine of ten pounds a month was imposed for employing a Catholic schoolmaster in a private family, and two pounds s day on the schoolmaster so employed: ‘This was what was done after the Reformation, and here in New York it would secm as if we were endeavoring to re-enact some of its woret provisions. If they do not fine men for refusing to comnely: with an arbitrary and de law, we punish them by withholding their salary for refusing to read the Bible— for literally exercising the very its that are guaran- teed to them by the constitution of the country. This is the fe penal laws have taken in ourday. The form Catholic church clevated teaching; she regarded It as 0: of the spiritual works of aeeed and ihe practice, has been in beautiful accordance with her precepts. A history of her teaching Orders, lay and clerical, from the Bene- dictines to the Curlan Brother, all thfiuenced by the same and on organization to accom- modate themselves to the wants of the times, would : ie tothe eee ergtenyee ought to the world.

The Lamp Post Letter Box Job. 10 THE EDITOR OF THE NEW YORK HERALD, A correspondent in this morning’s Paper, whilst pro- fessing to answer the objections urged to the alloged adop- tion by the Post Office Department of patented iron letter boxes for this city, omits to reply to the material objec- ton which was suggested, namely, that the iron boxes in question are claimed as a patent, and an exorbitant Price demanded for them in consequence. If iron letter boxes are necessary I protest against the bald job of purchasing @ patented article when a simple unpatented box, at a fifth of the cost, is all that can Possibly be needed. The Ld cle! alluded to speaks of the whole coatas being “five id ,doliars.’” The coat of this so-called pa- tented box, if adopted, will be over fifty thousand dol. lars. Let Mr. Postmaster Fowler inform the public how many boxes aro estimated for and the cost per box, and it will be found that the job will come to nearer a hun dred thousand dollars than even fifty. ‘The talk of ‘quick delivery,” ‘despatch, ‘Q perhaps vulgar expression—but which stood by the parties interested—all ‘gas. to speak of lamp ”” &¢., is, to use 1s ridteutous ” Ibis ridiculous ts being an'arivantage in enablin; le to drop their outers during the night, for a day ae livery is all that can be achieved under any circum- stances. As the expenditures of tho Post Office Depart- ment will be one of the first subjects under review at the approncliing session of Congress, it i8 rather a dangerous time to dabble in questionable jobs connected with it. Naw Yous, Noy. 12, 1959, INTERESTING FROM HAVANA. The New Captain General of Cuba. THE CHANGE IN THE CUBAN ADMINISTRATION— SKETCH OF THE OLD CAPTAIN GENERAL, CONCHA, AND THE NEW CAPTAIN GENERAL, SERRANO, We published yesterday, received by the Empire City, some particulars of the festivities which attended the in- auguration of the new Captain General of Cuba, Serrano, He landed on the 24th instant, from the Spanish war steamer Francisco de Borja, and amid the most enthu- siastic demonstrations of the populace took the oath of office. The greatest preparations had been made for his reception, both by the officials and the people, and his arrival was the signal for a most magnificent display, In view of this change in the government of the island of Cuba, by the removal of General Concha and the ap- pointment of a new Governor, some information respect- ing the personage just about to leave the scene of his long and honorable charge, and the other, who is on the eve of assuming the reins of government, cannot be unacceptable wour readers. The intimate social and commercial relations existing between the United States and Cuba render any changes in the political affairs of that island of as much interest to us as if they occur- red in any other city on the American continent. GENERAL CONCHA. General Don José de la Concha, who has just been re- called from tho administration of the government of Cuba, is a well known officer of the Spanish army, and the younger brother of Don Manuel de la Concha, a Spanish general and politician, who greatly distinguished himself in the war of independence against tho first Na- poleon. Vapereau informs us that Don José de la Concha was born in Madrid, about the year 1800; but, if we mistake not, his birthplace was Busnos Ayres, ,on this continent. He saw somo ser- vice in America, but was particularly distinguished in the long war against the Carlist chiefs of the northern provinces of Spain. He was created Lieutenant-General after the Convention of Bergara, in 1889, and from 1843 to 1846 he was Captain-General of the Basque provinces, and created attention at that time by energetically sup- pressing the outbreak of Santiago. On that occasion he was promoted to the chief command of the Spanish cayalry, and in 1849 he became Captain-Genoral of the Island of Cuba, whence he was suddenly recalled in 1852, after the attempt of the adventurer, Lopez, and ro- placed by General Cansdo. In the following year, he united with his brother on the side of the opposition. He was banished to Majorca in 1854, and, his name being struck from the army list, he took refuge in France, where an order of the government. confined his residence to the city of Bordeaux. The revo- lution of July, 1854, restored him to his post of Captain General of Cuba, which, on the return of General Narvaez to public affairs, he once more assumed in the year 1856. GENERAL SERRANO. General Francisco Serrano, the successor of Concha, is a politician as well as a military officer, and his name is quite familiar to every student of Spanish his- tory. He was born on the 17th of September, 1810, in the island of Leon, his father being Senor Don Francisco Serrano y Cuencas, Field Marshal of the national armies, and his mother Senora Donna Isabel Dominguez de Gue- vara, from whom he received the high education which corresponded to his station, He received his preparatory instructione in the celebrated College of Vergara, and at twelve years of age he entered the profession of arms as a cadet in the cavalry regiment of Sagunto, in which he rose to the rank of ensign in 1823. After flve years re- trement, be returned to the service in 1829, passing from one regiment to another, and at last taking part in the campaign begun in the north of the Peninsula as aid-de- camp to the Commander-in Chief, Don Francisco de Espoz yNuna. His intelligence and bravery soon gained for him the rank of captain and the cross of San Fernando of the first class. In the Army of the North, as well as in that of the centre, and in that of Cataluna, Serrano added a lustre to the Spanish cavalry, to be compared with that of the Leons, the Conchas and the Zavalas. His bravery in the battle of Arcos de la Cantera obtained for him the rank of Lieutenant Colonel, accorded on the field of battle. In 1839 we find him ranking as Brigadier, and decorated with the cross of San Fernando. In 1840 he was promoted to the rank of Field Marshal, and appointed second in com. mand in the Captain Generalship of Valencia, and shortly after Commander-in-Chief of Gerona and Chief of the first division of the Army of Cataluna. In 1849 he refused the grand cross of Isabel the Catholic, with which the govern- ment desired to decorate him. His political career may be said to have commenced in 1842. In May, 1843, he was called to the office of Minister of War. He was Inspector of Cavalry in 1844, Senator in 1845, Captain General of Granada in 1848, and during hig command he founded the establishment of las Chafarinas, aservice for which the Queen rewarded him with the grand cross of Charles III. In 1849 ho made a Jong jour- ney to foreign parts, occupied principally in military studies. In 1856 he was Captain General of Madrid, and he afterwards became her Majesty’s Ambassador in Paris. Devoted from the beginning of his carcer to the interests of Maria Christina, he was one of the first who, in 1848, proclaimed the downfall of Fspartero at Barcelona. After the restoration of the Queen-mother, General Serrano united with Nar- ‘vaez to combat and destroy the influence of the Minister Olozaga. Yn 1846, some time after the marriage of the Queen, the extraordinary influence which she accorded to the General in affairs of the government led to family disputes between the King and herself, which were soon drought to light by public events. The whole of the influ- ence of General Serrano may, in fact, be traced to his great intimacy with his royal mistress. The Minister So- tomayer endeavored to estrange M. Serrano, and was overthrown by him. The Minister Pacheco-Salamanca, of mournful memory, supported him by his influence, and fell before the general cry of public opinion. In view of the growing popularity of Narvaez, M. Serrano, who had become a liberal, induced him to recall Olozaga and Espartero from exile. On the acces- sion of Narvaez to power, he was forced to accept the post of Captain General of Granada, the dutics of which removed him from the Court. From that time he made the greatest opposition in the Senate to the various ministers who followed, until the revolution of July, 1854. In the month of February of that year, ho was implicated in an insurrectionary movement which Durst out at Saragossa, and he wasexiled, notwithstanding the most energetic protests. After tho triumph of the Vicalvarists, he joined the liberal union party, which for a long time defended the Espartero-O'Donnell combination. When he had to decide between these two chiefs, he declared for tho latter. In 1854 he was appointed Commander-in-Chief of Artillery, and some months afterwards he exchanged that position for the Captain-Generalship of New Castile, which almost placed the fate of Madrid in bis hands, when O'Donnell made the coup d’éat of July, 1856. Conqueror of the in- surrection at Prado and at Retiro, he some time after succeeded Olozaga in the embassy to Paris. The misfor- tune of O'Donnell (September, 1857) caused his recall. Since then he united in the Senate with all the Vicalvarist generals to wage war against Narvaez, which 60 quickly resulted in his downfall. Our Havana Correspondence.

Ihave great pleasure in informing you that United States Consul General Helm has received an explanatory and perfectly satisfactory letter from the Captain General respecting the unwarrantable detention of Captain Laurent, of the brig Allen A.

Troops, forming three sides of a hollow square, wert drawn up in front of the wharf, and in double lines thene> to the palace and to the Real Audiencia. Precisely at nine o’clock General Serrano arrived at the government landing place, which adjoins the wharf, where his Excellency General Concha stood ready to re- ceive him. As General Serrano stepped ashore Genera! Concha embraced him—in fact, gavo him a rega- lar hug. I could not see whether they kissed ead» other or not. The drums rattled, the bugles wo-tooth and the cannon bellowed, and the two generals marchah side by side to the Real Audiencia, the lines of soldiers: they passed through presenting arms, At the Real Ai diencia the customary oaths were administered, and Gea, Serrano dvove in a carriage to the palace. As he stepped) out of the carriage the populace huzzaed, He is certainy a very handsome man. There was an immense crowd of people, many of then. of great respectability, assembled on and in the streets the vicinity of the landing place, to witness the debarka- tion, among whom I noticed several of Cuba's fairest daughters reclining in their volantes. I heard varous warm expressions of delight from some of these ladiet at the personal appearance of the new Captain General. tne. lady declared him to be ‘‘humoso’’ (beautiful); anotler sald he was “bonito” (pretty); andall seemed to thik him a “very proper man.’” If an opinion may je formed from his countenance, I should say he possesas great firmness of character and mildness of temperamen\ General Concha and his family—may God long proter them!—bas, I understand, taken ion of a hired ma. sion in Officlos street.
