Secret meétings heook place and organizations were being formed to wupport the revolutionists and to oyer the Gland to the new order. Meanwhile, creoles, ‘apathetic, chary of effort, forthe most part hating ‘he Spanish rule, waited in expectation of events iWhich should enable them to strike with effect for ‘ndependence or for annexation to the great Yepublic. Among these, however, there was little ‘unity of feeling or of effort. The wealthy planters ‘and others owning large numbers of slaves were op- Posed to this annexation, which, as they thought, ‘would result in immediate and unconditional eman- cipation, while the mass of the people, having little ‘vo lose and everything to gain, strongly favored it. via true that these antagonistic ideas manifested ‘themselves, if at all only as matters of sentiment, Raking no practical shape, but under favorable cir- ‘cumstances they would have quickly Culminated in At the same time that portion of the army and Vii ed here entirely sympathized with the ew movement, and were becoming rapidly discoa- ited under the entire ignoring of the revolution id the various celebrations in honor of the Queen nd the members of her family, though that @overeign had left the soll of Spain and ought an asylum under the French flag. For- ‘wonately for the peace of the island Lersundi, either ‘from realizing whither he was drifting or through ‘ontside influence, awoke from his lethargy and bo- to deal actively with existing facts. He tssued Proclamation which, though as far as possible ‘mon-committal, recognized the fact of the provisional ernment and profesyed his willingness to obey e voice of the nation.

Havana, Oct. 24, 1863. For the past twenty-four hours Havana has been the subject of a “scare,” calculated to satisfy the most ardent admirer of excitement, As stated in my letter of current date incendiary documents have been circulated through the city during the past week, addressed to the slaves and calling upon them “now or never to be free,”’ By-sqme means it be- came rumored that last night was the time desig. nated for the rising, and so general was the credence attached to it that the greatest agitation prevailed. The government (doubtless in view of the restless- ness of the public mind, for it is hardly possible that such a rising was contemplated) held the troops in readiness at their respective quarters, having ordered all detailed and detached oficers and men to their commands, A meeting of the officers of the volun- teer corps. took place, yesterday afternoon, wich added to and intensified the excitement, Eyerybody ‘with sufficient monéy rushed to thé ators to pur- chase pistols, until as evening came on the stock, was exhausted and none could be obtained at any Price, Several inexperienced persons, while hand- lng their weapons in preparation for the expected encounter with the dark legions of Africa, shot them- selves in the fingers or hands and were hurried off tothe hospital, sans honor, sans glory, sans every- thing. As the night wore on expectation was on tip- top, and everywhere was seen evidences of anticl- pated trouble; the plazas were not lighted, the moon shone brightly, there would be no music, At @quar- ter before eight the band marched out with its escort 8 usual.. A number of rockets were seen going up over the city. They indicated the way to the circus, and stern eyes glanced at weapons grasped in hands as firm asa constitutional trembling would permit. At ten it came on to rain, which dampened expec- tation somewhat. Muscles began to relax, and con- fidence in the ability of the authorities to preserve order increased rapidly. Most of the braves retired to court ‘the balmy” with their pistols under thelr bolsters. They were not disturbed, and the sun Tose on @ city drenched with rain and was grected with the monotonous song of tue black stevedores as they peacefully raised the merchandise from the holds of the veasels in the harbor. In view of the very quiet (cig Just passed this fright seems ridicu- lous, yet it certain that the most serious fears were éntertained. The evening edition of the Diario dela Marina had @ grave editorial on the subject, a hurried translation of which I send you, showing the importance attached to it. This so great excite- ment on so small a base indicates the condition of the public mind here, strung to a high tevsion in ex- pectation of important events, though in wuat man- ner or what source is entirely unknown. The following is the article of the Diario:— We do not know who, how many or with what object have undertaken to disseminate alarming and absurd ritnors, bat we do know that yesterday there was circulated the ment that the peave of this capital was threatened, and also Was reported, with & tuousand dotaila, the extraordinary measures whlch the authorities had adopted to binder or press auy disorder.

To wiat extent they d I cannot say, but there is every pro- io that most of the creoles are in sympathy with them. They have issued g manifesto, which has been circulated with wt secrecy, in which there are demanded for the same rights, liber- ties and privileges accorded to Spaniards in the pro- ‘amme of the provisional government. They are indignant that Lersundi docs not formaily recoynize the new order and that be continues to ruie the island as — the Queen was still in power. This manifesto is long much of that bom. bast peculiar to the th character, reciting of the tyrannies under which this isle has for a time labored, and the enormous contribu- tioNs which it is compelled topay. The latter, for the year 1808, are summed up as follows: Gov nt. 2, 634, Sunice an oid Treasur; o War... 6,373,096 M 2,036,173 Educat 645,686 General ob! . 2,010,087 Extraordinary dues.. 400,727 Add to this tho #0 called Kegallas de la saga Corona.......

SUPERIOR COURT—GENERAL TEAM, Appeal from a Judgment Recovered Against the Board of Supervisors. Before Judges Barbour, Garvin and McCuna. Catherine McGarry, Admintstratrix, Respondent, 8, The Board of Supervisors, &c., Appevants.—The defendants appeal from a judgment of 64,500 re- covered against them as damages for the killing of Plaintiff's husband by the breaking of @ derrick, used in the construction of the new unt Court House. Deceased was employed as a laborer on the work by the county, and on the trial it was shown that thé derrick was defective, The sult was origin- ally com it the Mayor and Common- gity, and the counsel who appeared on behalf of the See defend the case consented to the amendment of the complaint so as to substitute the Board of Supervisors as defendants. e Corporation Counsel now claims that the con- sent given at the trial by his representative was er- roneous and improper, as it brought parifes before the court as deiendants wno, had never been served with process in this action, and of whom the court had not, consequently, acquired jurisdiction. He also argued that no cause of action exists under the statate against these defendants, the plaintiff's rem- edy being the presentation of her clatm before the Board to be audited, and that mendamus was her resort to compel them to audit her claim in the event of their refusal. Decision reserved, COURT OF COMMON PLEAS—GENERAL TEAM. Tdability of Common Carriers for the Less of Baggage Captured by a Rebel Pirate, Betore Judges Daly, Brady and Barrett, Chauncey D. Spaids, Respondent, vs. The New York Matl Steamship Company, Appeltants.—In this case the defendants appeal from a judgment re- covered against them by plaintim in the Marine Court for dainages sustained by the loss of baggage. ‘The plaintit?, in July, 1864, secured passage on board the defendants’ steamer Electric be oe Tunning be- tween this port aud New Orleans. Shortly after going to sea the Electric Spark was captured by the Con- federate privateer Florida, and plaintiff Jost all his effects, together with property belonging to his wife, who was also on oad. It appears also that the Captain of the Electric Spark had given a verbal promise to take care of the plaintiff's effects. ‘The defendants now appeal from the judgment, on the ground that their duties and labiiittes as com- mon carriers had ceased when the vessel fell into the hands of the common and public enemy, and that the loss accrued solely through the act of war of a Party hostile to the government. They also claim iat they were not in anywise bound by the verbal and special impited coniract made by the captain, The qagation involved in the case is one of cousider- able interest and importance.

Dr. Beardsley, of Con- necticut, thought it best to postpone the matter to the next convention, Dr, Mead advocated the as the House of God 1s desecrated by making it a place of merchandise. Mr. Henshaw, of Khode Isiand, followed to the same paper Rev.

The Chair decided it to be in order, and a motion to table tt was lost. Kev. Mr. Wyatt proposed an amend- Ment that no church ayall used fof any un- hallowed purpose, which was declared out of order as not pertinent to the question pending and as being already provided for. The debate continued, when the Chair appealed to the discretion of the House (as their number 1s reduced to one-half) whether it would be now to pass anew canon, whereupon it wad moved to refer matter to the next Convention. By a vote of 38 yeas against 67 nays the reference was defeated and debate re- sumed, and it was User ly urged by several that a better way would to pass it, not as a lew, Dus as a recommendatory resolution, which would be of equal eifectiveness.

Dw that period the Church has had to deplore the loss of sixteen of its foremost cham- pious two of them being presiding bishops, Grate- 1 mention is. made of the abundant spire itual increase and growth and proyress of evan- gelical puncvine. while regret is expressed at many examples of ‘unprofitable services.” Thanks aré Gieen for the reunion as a national Church and for the harmony of purpose and action thereby secured, ‘The labors of the missionaries are characterized ag noble and faithful, wile it Js lamented that the offer- ings of the churches bave not beca commensurate with their endeavors, although tt is mentioned ag ualifying this report that there is a great deal done that does not appear in any reports.

Christian education has received a large measure of practical attention, The Christian senty “bein; more and more regarded as a’divine instituulon,”? in support of the Church, satisfaction is expressed that the legislation of the Convention has done not alittle to strengthen the households of the com- munion. The work of the Churcti, the neces. sity of labor on the part of the ministry and of corresponding efforta on the part of the laity are next referred to, with the growing ‘need of candidates for holy orderg and the scriptural teaching quoted that ‘‘those wha preached the gospel should live by the gospel.” The necessity of enlarges, associated effort in works of mercy and education 1s pointed out, as there is much that cannot otherwise be done, and a wish put forth that men and women may be found who will devote themselves to this effort. Such associations, it says, however, must be free from entangling vows and enforced confession, and be 10 strict submission to diocesan authority. It is spoken of asa matter of painful observation, especially in la cities, that the churches are too little and are sometimes, in summer, even entirely cl on the Sabbath day i as there can be no private suce ownership in consecrated places, !t is urged that more frequent services be held, a3 in Bnglond, and the churches be thrown open as mission houses.

OARING ROBBERY AT THE WESTMINSTER HOTEL. The Alleged Thieves Apprebended. The proprietors of the various first class hotels in this city have been sorely perplexed of late re- garding robberies of a bold nature that have taken Placo in them, their guests being the sufferers, and although the most strenuous efforta havo been made to detect the rascals but one or two ar- Tests have been made, and these of the second clasa or inferior operators. None of the expert villains have been caught, although circumstances pointed to one or two bold operators that were at the bottom of some of the most gigantic robberies, Yet an arrest effected yesterday morning by officer Jobn (, Jackson, of the Eighteenth prectnet, points rather strongly to the conclusion that at last two of these alleged thieves are In eustody under such circum. stances as lead to the beltef that they arc old operators: in entering the rooms of hotels and ‘‘cleanug out’? the property of the occupants. The details of their apprehension are:—Hoezeklel A, Bray- ton, living ot the Westminster Hotel, square, appeared before Justice Dodge, at the Jefferson Market Poilee Coart, yesterday morning, and cused two men, named € J, Murdock and . Passmore, alias “T. P. Moore, of eniering lis room yesterday morning, between tia hours of two and three o'clock, and stealing po his clothes a gold watch, gold chain, gold studs, gold sieeve buttons and money, In all of the value of $549. Mr. Brayton and bis iady retired about mirt+ night, and at the hour alluded to above, he wag aroused by the noise of some one ant 3 abont his room and at frst suppored it was his wife, but Onding ber by his side he jumped ond of bed and caught the party bendiag over his, clothes, near the bureaw. As soon as he found it was a thief he raised an alarm; but before it could be answered the intruder had broken away frouy him and ran up stairs, Cries from Mrs. Brayton caused her husband to return, when he found that y this time the alaruy o through the hotel li mates of every room, cused oocapies and had been assigned the previous night, were out in the balls inquiring the cause of the trouble. Word was at once sont for oMcora, 3 suspicion pointed strongly to Mur. k and Passmore, the policeman, Mr. Brayton and the proprie or of the house went to their rooms and demanaed admittance.
