HAVANA , Feb. 9, } Via Key West, Feb. 10, 1869, The insurrection is spreading in the western ‘Quarters of the island. Troops are leaving Havana to suppress outbreaks at Cienfuegos, Sancti Spiritu and, itis reported, Trinidad. These revolutionary manifestations have been brought about by Geueral ‘Quesada, who 1s threatening Villa Clara, after hav- dng been vainty followed from Neuvitas by the Spanish forces. He is at the head of seven regi- ments, all well armed and equipped, and has plenty of money, but is in want of artillery. ‘The citizens of Villa Clara have been forced to arm themselves and ald the Spanish troops. Outbreaks in the extreme west are momentarily ‘expected, arms having been captured nine leagues from this city (Havana). The island appears to be ‘undermined and the people ready for revolt. The government has only volunteer troops at hand in this department, Special advices represent that the insurgent chiefs positively refuse to treat for surrender. The peace commissioners could not see Cespedes and Marmol ‘would not enter into terms. The latter stated that the reason why he destroyed sixteen plantations around Santiago de Cuba was because the owners had promised him aid, but were deceiving him, intend- ing to gather their crops and make away. He manu- mitted all of their slaves. Ceapedes, Marmol and Quesada are the principal leaders of the rebellion.

His hostage, Corea, was only saved from the fary of Arango’s troops by the strenuous exertions of the murdered man’s brother. Corea is reported to have resigned his position under the government, in disgust at the treachery the Spaniards were guilty of. The Spanish authorities report that 4,000 men are on the way to Santiago de Cuba from Spain. The organs of the government advocate a desperate ‘Warfare to extermination, if necessary, ‘and recom- mend forced loans to defray the expenses.

There is very little ex- citement here about the matter ana but few arrivals by the trains, although a good many from the coun- try. Whalen is penitent and resigned. Two Sisters of Metcy and two Catholic priesta are with him con- stantly. They administered the sacrament to- night, No one 1s itted to see him. Even his wife had to say well through the grated oor, in the presence of the Sheriff and jailers. Four soldiers are in the corridor, fifteen in jail and a bat- lorie of rifles 18 stationed around the jail out- a . re : Whalen has been moved to @ lower cell, as he could make signals to people outside from the win- dows, Rumors have been afloat that he had at- tempted sufcide by cutting bis throat with glasa, and also by hanging, but they are all incorrect. The report that his wife threw herself at the Governor’s feet and implored @ respite is false. She says she would not stoop to beg his life; rather let him die a martyr. Whaicn has made a written statement— noy in the hands of the ministers of justice—in which he 4eclares that he is not guilty of firing the shot, although he admits that he was one of four men who did the deed. He exculpates Doyle and Bulkley, and says he 1s sworn to secrecy and will die rather than turn informer, ‘The Fenian sympathisers here are romans. They heid meetings at Gloucester, declared their sympathy with Whalen and threatened bloody avenging. They say they will shoot him on the scaffold, and cheat the British hangman of his cherished prey. The execution will be quiet.

General McQualde, fh r General on Governor Hoftman’s staff, was before the committee yesterday; but as he had not examined the arms he was not able to pronounce as to whether the cost of changing the Springfield rifles to breech-loaders at seven dollars apiece was exorbitant or not, as that would roe depend upon how the work was done. It is understood, however, that another firm offered to do it at the rate of $5 60 for each arm. It is doubtful whether this contract was legal at all. e object of making it was evidently to the job done first and then appeal on the Legis- lature for an appropriation. the Legislature should refuse to recognize the contract and deny any Serato somebody will be out of pocket a considerable sum, and there will be weeping and walling and gnashing of teeth tn several quarters, It looks tod now like one of those jobs that ought to be sguelched.

The most important office under the Internal Rev- enue law is, perhaps, that of Supervisor of the first thirteen Congressional districts, which come under the direction anda supervision of Mr. S. B. Dutcher, whose office is at No. 65 Liberty street. The territory over which Mr. Datcher holds sway is a large one and the duties very often become quite laborious, and would be exceedingly trying to any man not possess- ing the physique and endurance of the present in cumbent. Mr. Dutcher’s district embraces the coun- ties of Richmond, Suffolk, Queens and Kings, New York, Westchester, Putnam, Dutchess. Columbia, Green, Ulster, Orange, Rockland and Sullivan. His powers are entirely of a supervisory charac- ter, and his duties are defined in section forty- nine of the act of July the 20th, which says that the supervisor shall keep his office at some conventent place in his district, to be designated by the Commissioner. He has power to examine books, papers and accounts, and to administer tie oath; to summon parties and to compel them to ap- ‘before him, to testify in the same manner that he assessor does. He also hus power to transfer or suspend duty any gauger, sorcerer for trand oF gross, negicct, of duty oF or assessor for lect luty or He is also authorized to examine the books and accounts of the assessors and col- lectors of bis district. M office on the 1st of December last he found e: atstilleries in full en New York, while to- day there are but three in the whole district, which speaks well for his ce. There have been no seizures in ig branch of the Internal Revenue Department Cd in instance, namely, Hupfer’s distillery, which the lector ot the Hf district had seized and released, when Mr. Dutcher had to _reseize it nim- self by virtue of his authority. The Supervisor states that he has been for days in’ gathering testimo! to officers connected with the department, which he is not at liberty to lay before the pu a it time; but when the proper ity presents itself he will do so. He Ras not yet tical facts, tion of the different offices under his control. He has reason to believe there will be no distilleries running in his district now, and there cannot be any large quantity of wi manufactured un- til the price advances. While there are so few distilleries running in this city, Philadelphia has now thirty-seven in full blast, some of which are right under the noses of the authorities there. Mr. Dutcher’s operations are performed in a secret man- ner, and may, therefore, be said to be a branch of the’ secret service bureau. He pounces on delin- juents here and there and everywhere, and throws hem into dismay before they Know anything about he POLICE COMMISSIONERS. Captain Jameson Appointed Inspector—Pro- posed Increase of the Force. An important secret session of the Board of Metro- politan Police was held yesterday, all the members being in attendance except Commissioner Acton, The immediate object of the session was the filling of the vacant imspectorship, caused by the death of Mr. Leonard, For several weeks the office has gone a begging, there being great difficulty in finding among the captains of the force one of sufficient avarice to surrender a captaincy at $2,000 per year for the office of inspector at $3,500! In the height of their magnantmity, and with the know- ledge of the neavy burdens to which taxpayers are subjected, all to whom the position was offered, de- clined the additional $ and the honors of promotion. The commissioners, under these cir- cumstances, had no alternative but to promote a captain to the vacancy, and the despised office was forced upon Captain Wiliam J of the First precinct, whose qualifications w@re considered ‘The Board next to the selection of a sui Cay East ond & compromise was made by selecti a eee Poles it Henry Burden, of the Je: Police Court juad, who carries off the honors for which the teeth of atty sergeants have been ed.

The act provides for the incorporation of the association under its present name, for the education of the ignorant, the employment of the unemployed, and to provide refuge for all women who needed help, and teach Some discussion ensued as to whether the cor- ration should be called the Workingwomen’s ational Bureau or retain its present name.

MUSICAL AND THEATRICAL NOTES, Mr. Boothroyd Fairclough over his own signature corrects the “misrepresentation” published a few days ago to the effect that he was styling himself the “greatest tragedian since Kean.” He merely pubd- lished, in conjunction with extracts from the London papers, a letter from the manager of the Lyceum theatre, which he received before leaving Europe, in which that gentleman took occasion to pay to Mr, Fairclough that very flattering compliment.

ASH WEDNESDAY, The caput fejunit was celebrated yesterday in the Catholic and Episcopal churches throughout the city with due solemnity. Interesting ‘services were held at Trinity church, St. Paul's, St. John’s and various other Episcopal churches and at St. Alban’s. At Trinity church the services opened with a proces. sion from the vestry, the choir at the same time sing- ing the Fffty-first Psalm. The Eighth Tone was given as the venite, and the psalms for the day consisted of the Sixth, Thirty-second and Thirty-fifth. Then =< the Benedicte, First Tone and the Apostles’ reed, S The beautiful anthem, ‘1 for Thy tender mer- cies’ sake,” by Farrant, was given with fine effect by the chorr, after which the Ayrie, i: was performed.

Inspection of the Evening Schools. The Committee on Evening Schoois of the Board of Education, consisting of Messrs. Hall,{Dupignac, Merrill and Jasper, together with several members of the Board and other gentlemen interested in the cause of popular education, visited several of the evening schools during the past few evenings. They found the scholars present in large numbers de voutly intent on acquiring knowledge. At school No, 24, in the Sixth ward, under the direction of Miss O'Neill, where the average attendance during the session was about 400, they found the studies and deportment highly satisfactory. At No, 33, in the tho Eighth ward, under the direction of Miss Fol where the average atteadance was about 300, they found matters also very satisfactory. Male school No. 1, in the Fourta ward, under Mr. O'Donnell, and male school No. 44, iu the Fifth ward, under Mr. Conkiln, they found nothing to complain of in regard to the decorum or progress of the a. ‘The attendance at each of the last mentioned schools averages about 450. Last evening the gentlemen visited the schools in the Seventeenth ward—No, 19, in East Fourteenth street, under Miss McDoweil; No. 15, In Fifth street, under Miss Murray, and No. 14, in East Houston Street, under Mr. Litehfleld. All these schools they found in excellent condition, but especially the lat- ter, where some 600 scholars were in attendance. Here they found several German aud one Bohemian class, and a class in bookkeeping and penmanship under Mr, Holley. The students in the latter class presented specimens of amanship which were really marvellous, and reflected exceeding credit on the ability and industry of their instructor. COMPETITION BETWEEN OCEAN STEAMSHIPS, ‘The City of Parts, of the Inman line, left her dock At fifteen minutes pefore two o'clock yesterday after- noon and sped her course beautifully down the bay, passing the Russia, of the Cunard line, which had just taken on board the matlé, ana which followed forty-five minutes afterwards. The speed of both Lorty a ygeals across the Atlantic will be looked for with great fnierest. rivalry exists be- tween the different steamship companies to secure the subsidy, Which the Cunard line has hitherto obtained for the English mails to this country, Should the City of Paris beat ber rival in Site th there will be no little commotion in the lobby of the House of Commons, as the subsidy may be transferred in consequence to the Inman line. When the City of Cube abou Lecture Befor? the American Institute by Mrs . Wiliam J. MecAlplue. ‘The closing lectu? of the series of scientiic lee tures before the Ame,ican Institute was delivered jast evening at Steinw¥y Hall by Mr. William J- McAlpine, former State Engimeer of New York, and present President of the American Society of Civil Engineering. On the p/atform were seated, in additiom to the leading oficers of the Institute, Admiral Far- ragutand Generals Wright, Cullum, Tower, Gilmore, McDowell, and other army officers. Of course, to the audience, the hero of Mobile was the chief object of spectal interest, the prehminary oynosure of every eye. Mr. Horace Greeley, President of the In- stitute, imtroducea the iecturer of the evening, who was enthusiastically seceived. The lecture occupied over an hour, amt was listened to with the closest attention. Toa lecture 80 essentially statistical in its character no abstract can do adequate justice. He introduced his subject. with a brief but comprehensive summary of engi- neering among the ancients. The tunnelling of the Euphrates, ancient bridges, the wails of Babylon, the temples of Assyria, canals of China, the Indies and Egypt came in for descriptive no- dices, He divided this branch of his subject into the divine, profane and monumental records, He alluded tothe Augustan age and the lapse into barbarism which succeeded, and then to the revival of engineering in the seventeenth cen- PaO eg nee! some o! r= works "constructed at this hurried on w speak of the locomotwe as the modern acme, so to speak, of engineering skill. Forty years 4 the locomotive Tac aby peer eau Sotiris ive tthe fret locomptive built by Stephenson was now on exhivition at the Kensington Museum. This engine weighed four and a half tons, went fourteen pe va and drew @ gross weight of tatles of rail and twice as in other countries. Many of engines ‘weighed ory and fifty tons, and he heard of one weighing sixty- nine tons. He spoke of the power of these engines and the growing multiplicity of railroads, and then ied to trace the effect of the locomotive on civilization. Former!y civilization confined itself to the seaport towns and water courses of the country. The locomotive laid open the immense fertile dis- tricta of the interior. Its introduction marked @ great era of pi His next topic was the appli- cation of steam the propulsion of vessels. is had mainly accomplished during the present century, and mostly during the ast thirty years. Twenty years ago Make the voyage of the Atlantic in twenty days was thought a mule passage. Now the passage was made in eight ays, and soon would be made within six days. The fact was that engineers stood ready to furnish any rate of speed the public wantea and would pay for. After finishing this branch of his subject he proceeded to speak of the canals of this country, and particularly the Erie Caval. The idea that rallroads were fast superseding canals he showed to be erroneous and cited abundant sta- tistics in proof of the statement. Over the Erie Canal, for instance, there were annually transported more goods and merchandise than on all the ratl- ways in the country. The boats, if in a line, would extend over @ distance of eight miles. But* wnat this canal was doing, he insisted, was but a trifle comparatively to what the future would develop in this respect. Cavals were, in his view, as indispensable fs railways. Bridges formed his next topic, and on this subject he gave a summary of most important statistical information touching the largest and most celebrated bridges of modern construction. The = 1o” struction ol these bridges had brought active use the highest engineering skill. ter giving the spans and dimensions of our mest prominent bridges, as the suspension bridges at Niagara Falls and Cincinnati and the Victoria bridge at Montreal, he alluded to the rapidity with which, under the supervision of modern enginee! skill, bridges were put up during the war. He spec! fied particularly the bridges over the Rappahannock and Potomac creek, each 448 feet span, and erected im. forty hours. From this he digressed to the cognate bal of cannon, specially §) ‘ing of the big guns of modern construction. e largest gun known weighed fifty-eight tons. He believed the time would. come whi of the calibre could be used with the same ease, safety and accuracy as those of the smallest pattern. He alluded to the distance, five miles and a half,that projectiles were thrown from cannon during the siege of Charleston, and expressed. it as his opinion that guns could be constructed capable of throwing projectilés of much larger size three times the distance. In conclusion he drew s comparison between ancient and modern engineer- ing. He cited the erection of the Pyramids, showing the number of men emnaniges. in building them, the character of the implements employed and the time tt took to build them. He also referred to the building of the Coliseum in Rome, covering six acres and ac- commodating 70,000 peop!¢. Opposing to tlese modern engineering he showed how much quicker and easier and better the same work could now be accom- plished. On this subject he spoke of tunnelling. the: peor pe! for converting iron into steel and the pon- erous machinery employed in engineering wo On concluding the lecturer was warmly applauded. Resolutions were passed thanking the lecturers of the course, and ordering the printing tn book form of the lectures.
