The Baron was constantly before the public, once as contractor for the Southern Confede- racy, in the war fleet, and general speculator in the intestine struggles aud calamities of the North and South, and next as a great shareholder in the guano isiands, in which matcer ex-United States Secretary Jeremiah Black was involved to some extent, The exploits of the Baron were numerous, and after meandering around the world he settied down in France, where, in the gay receptions he eraced with bis presence, he made the acquaintance of a very wealthy and superbly handsome Parisian belle, whose abode in the kue Montmartre was the attraction of all the nobility of the empire, It was not long ere his Speculative propensities 7 rans * maw Come into the posséssfonjor a rich prize, and, there- fore, with blandishments and lover's devices, he vowed to the handsume belle that he could not exist without her, and at last succeeded, as she alleges, iM seducing her under promises of marriage.

The Baron came to New York, and the lady, ascertaining his whereabouts, followed in the next steamer. When here she was at a loss what to do; but hearing that Justice Dowling was the friend and adviser of the duped and the unfortunate she repaired to him for nis assistance and advice in the matter. Judge Dowling listened with patience to the long, heart-rending and pathetic story of her wrongs, ana eliberation became convinced of the of her representations and sent for Coun- illiam fF. Howe and directed him to take the ncel sellor necessary steps to redress the grievances on the part of the lady.

It has been @ subject of remark that quite a number of the English bishops have been laid up, but whether from mortification at the destruction of the Established Church in Ireland or from natural bodily allmenis, has been a mooted ques- tion.

How She was Purchased, Trans- ferred and Started. Scenes at Sea as Witnessed by Our Special Correspondent on Board. MARSHAL BARLOW IN A FOG. AT SEA, longitude —, Sept, 27, 1969. SOKNAS AT BEA. Far out on the ocean, away from the grin- ning breakera which but yesterday shone White and glistening tn our wake, with the long, monotonous roll of the Atlantic surge, swaying the vesse! on its crest and causing the dim lamp over my head to swing backward and for- ward with a regular creaking motion, I sit myself down to write the first authentic news of the Cuba, or, as she is perhaps still called in the States, the privateer Hornet. Many better communications have been written tn dingy newspaper offices than this will turn out to be, but few scribes ever sat down to write under more serious difficulties than those which now oppress and distract your special correspondent. The sigh- ing wind in thé shrouds, the thunder of gun car- riages being dragged and fixed into position by stalworth satlors, and the cheering and chattering of Cuban patriois on deck, together with; the splash and wash of the sea breaking on our starboard, is exceedingly disquieting. And then how the timbers creak and groan, as if in anticips- tion of the hour when, in the course of probable events, vindictive Spanish shot and shell will whistle through them, But necessity knows no law. The copper-colored tmp detatled by the Captain to minister to the wants of the HERALD representative may Jabber broken Spanish and wildly wave his significant bucket ashe holds on to the uncertain door on the little six-by-four cabin, but the yawning press at the corner of Ann street, groaning for “matter,” sounds a call louder and more impera- tive than the increasing storm. Within the last twenty minutes I have been informed that in a short time the long looked for opportunity of sending forward my despatch will be afforded me, and there is, therefore, no time to lose, I would have wished, had circumstances permitted, to send youa more particular description of the departure of this ship and her career to the present writing, but must content Rimself with @ very hurried, but yet per- fectly reliable, account, trusting to another oppor+ tunity for a more graphic and expended description. Lam not suro whether it would be proper for me to state how or when I cameon board this craft; but—writing under editorial correction—I will ven- ture to give a few details of the embarkation. Hay- ing a carte blanche as to expenditure, as all HERALD men have abroad, I took my own way of getting on board, Hearing that the steamer Hornet, owned vy Mr. W—r—, of Portland, Me., was lying at Philadel- phia, and being pretty well posted as to the move- ments of the Spanish agents and the Cuban Junta in New York, and, moreover, feeling satisfied that she was looked upon by greedy Cuban eyes, I proceeded there and placed myself in com- munication with certain parties who were connected with her. I speedily learned that Mr. R— had purchased her a few days before my arrival with the view of running her to Queenstown or Liverpool, stopping en route at Halifax, where ne hoped to ‘find @ purchaser (simple soul!) in the sprig of royalty illuminating that future State of the Union. He vougnt her at a very low price, and consequently felt himself in a position to swing round the ocean circle in search of a good customer. He might have had one in the Cuban Junta, but he did not think there was money there. If instructed by the Cuban leaders, however, his action could not have been more favorable to the designs of tne Junta. , The Hornet was under the strict surveillance of the United States authorities while in Philadel- phia, but it was not entirely so strict as the watchful scrutiny of the Cuban leaders, As you are already aware, the Hornet was seized at Halifax by the Briush authorities, thoroughly searched, overliauied and examined. 1t 1s also well knowa that nothing of a criminating natyre, 1n an international point of view, Was discovered by the representavives of the government, which winked at the satling of the Alabama, and that she was released by the Canadian authorities @ few days later. Shortly after her arrival Mr. Leon Lafitte, now one of the officers of the Cuba, was appointed by Mr. R., who found that his attention was required in another place, as the supercargo of the ship. Power of attorney was given him to proceed to Queenstown or any other port and to sell whe steamer to the best advantage. Her machinery having been repaired, @ full crew shipped and plenty of coal being put on board, the Horuet sailed, with a fair wind and under a fuil head of steam, from Halifax at eight o’ciock on Sun- day night, the 12th September, with her supercargo— the nominal owner—and two passengers on board, Thoroughly weil informed of what was going on, your correspondent left the ‘Halifax Hotel,’’ where he was stopping under a nom de plume during the examinavion of the Hornet, and under the guidance of one of the crew who was detailed by the com- mander for the purpose, and with scanty luggage, went on board with safety and was duly introducea and provided with a berth. No time was lost in weigning anchor after ail the necessary preparations had been made, and we stood out of the barbor at a slashing rate. next me , after the decks were washed and everything made taught, the land being dimly, seen in the distance and far in our wake, one of Swallowing & cup of coffee, handed him by a ghostly-looking steward, to steady his nerves, approached the supercargo, who was ner- vously pacing the deck before the wheel, ana spoke something in a quiet tone, Some conversation fol- lowed, and then everybody understood that negotia- tions were on foot for the purchase of the vessel. ‘The passenger proved to be a duly accredited agent of the Cuban government, who was prepared to offer such terms to the supercargo as could not be refused short of madness. The supercargo, hay- ing the interests of the owners in view, closea with the offer, and the money being paid down, a formal transfer was made. I did not ascertain the amount, nor have I since; bat judging from the size Of the roll of pank bills placed inthe hands of the smiling supercargo it must have been large. The bill of Was signed and delivered ‘at sea, Sep- tember 31, 1869, in the presence of wwo or more wit- nesses.’’ The Hornet was then declared the property of the republic of Cuba and her course was immediately altered to suit circum stances. The next day, being far out at sea, we sighted a schooner right ahead and standing toward her and one was surprised to find that she was a vessel that left before us with a number of men from Halifax, who were duly tran ferred to our decks and received with three times three and atiger. Hardly had these mea finished fraternizing with our hitherto limited crew when ‘on the disk of the horizon a white speck, which grew into the form of a igzed ship, disclosed itself to our view, and after an hour more, aiaed by the sharp sou’easter which had sprang up in the meantime, we ran alongside her. and found to our unspeakable satisfaction shat she had on board @ number of Parrot guns and a large quantity of ammunition. Although the sea was rolling heavily, and the white waves jumped against the sides of our craft in impotent fury,’ the oiloers set about the task of transferring the Precious cargo, and before the sun began to biink and wink over the disturbed sea, behind which he was apparently sinking to rest, everything was on board and pro- perly secured. Some dificuity had evidently been ted by the officers of the Hornet at this 1 juncture, anxious glances being cast from uarter deck on the curious, gaping crowd fies the waist and rorward part of the vessel; 2 that but the result proved that there was vo occasion for anxiety. To a man the crew were in full sympathy and accord with the oficers, They had not been consulted regarding the change of destination, but when open- mouthed guns began to creep slowly on the deck irom the creaking davits and they were called upon to assist in stowing them away they did so willingly and with hearty cheers, It was midnight. <A few stars blinked from under dark masses of clouds, the waves dashed madiy past, as in sympathy with the excitement which every officer and man experienced, and the ‘wild wind loose among the tant shrouds whistied merrily. The pale beams of the moon fell athwart the deck, and inthe shadows under the bulwarks forms of men hauling and laboring at the heavy metal Were dimly seen moving about. Cheertly the voices of the men rang out, and cheerliy were they answered by the oificers, encouraging them, but working like the rest As each gun came on board it was christened by the sailors. ‘Here comes Gin’ral Grant, be jabers |’ cried a lusty Hibernian, hauling on @ rope for the bare life; “Jump along, Old Farra- gut,” cried another, jumping himself to clear hig toes of the impending muzzle; ‘Viva Cespedea,”” yelled & Cuban in ecstacy, as the burnished back of @ splendid piece was seen over the bulwarks. And go the guns were christened by the men Who will use them for Cuban independence. 14 ia probable that before I again see the spire of old Trinity I shall witness many strange sights and participate in Many @ strange encoun’ But while I hive that Weird and ‘romantic scene, at the dead of night, under the moonlight and 1 the midst of the heaving ocean, will not be forgotten. The guns having been secured and the ammunition properly placed, the men congregated round the oft- cers. the officers under the flag of the Cuban repub- llc, dying from the peak, and the Hornet Was rebap- tized the “Cuba,” while her sharp prow was being turned in the direction of the enemies of the infant republic, manifest destiny and the Monroe doctrine. The first man-of-war in the service of Cuba, she yielded to the breeze, and with sails and steam plunged madly forward at the rate of eighteen knots an hour. Her officers say she can make twenty-two knots on a wind with a full head of steam, but ex- cept in case of great emergency I don’t wish to see any such speed myself; the vibration ia enough now to shake the teeth out of any one less determined to hold on to his mastication thaa your correspondent. As we may all be hangea one ‘of these days I wish to state here for the information of the Spanish authorities that Mr. Leon Lafitte is entitled to be strangled more than anybody else, he having first run up the flag with the single star on the good ship Cuba. I do not think it safe in this letter to be too particular in my description of the ship, for obvious reasons, and have purposely omitted to mention many matters of interest, lest our cruising ground should be dis- covered. When, however, our track becomne illu- minated with the flames of burning Spanish ships further concealment will be unnecessary, and I will then, if opportunity is afforded me, send ‘you a long and minute account. I may perhaps obtain permission before I close to send you the roster of the Cuba, with short biographical notices of each of the principal officers, but at the present moment everything ts so much tn confusion it wou'd be impossible to approach the proper officer, I will content myself now by stating that the Cuba i well armed and eouipped and com- manded by a distinguished officer, who won his epauiets in the United States Navy and who also held @ high position in the service of the defunct Confederacy. We are now steaming southward, and before many hours our trusty guns will belch forth our mission in the Guif in thunder tones. While waiting for the required permission to give the list of oMcers, and pending our arrival at the pony where [am informed @ schooner is waiting to ake our last despatchés, i will offer a few observa- tions on the quéstion of the legal status of this vessel which may not be considered out of place. 1 noticed before our departure that, commenting on the probability of tue Hornet being intended for a Cuban privateer, some of the journals committed bn ites ny to Ge casein that any vessel beans under the Cuban flag tor war!! ones 30! vot be regarded in any other” Tight by te ton: manders of foreign “men-of-war than as & pirate, My sense of the proprieties in the vase being quickened somewhat by a choking sensation about the throat, the more I dwell on this subject, and my iegal ‘wits being somewhat sharpened in consequence, I feel somewhat dog- matic; but nevertueless I have every confidence that my arguments in favor of our jegitimacy cannot ve gainsayed. The writegs I have alladed to are evi- enue ignorant of the first principles of mternational aw, The Cuba is not liable to pursuit by United States crulzers because she left a United States port ina perfectly legal manner, entered a foretgn port, and Was sudseqently armed and manned on the high Seas by @ foreign government. Nor is she liable to pursuit by British men-of-war, because she left Hatifax legally and with full permission of the British ‘authorities. That she was armed, manned and equipped at sea and duly transferred from one owner to another, is admitted, All this was perfectly within the law of nations. Then again the Cuba is a regular man-of- war, belonging to a government recognized in fact, if notin law; the officers each ana every one have received their commissions from the Executive of the Cuban republic, and wear the national uniform, Therefore she cannot be considered a pirate by any nation. [tis reaily one of those cases where there 18 nobody to blame and nobody ts responsible. The Cuba will go into commission in @ Cuban port and afterwards commence operating. In concluding this hasty letter I will add as the result of my obser- vations and inquiries that the officers are gentle- men, and are not only skilled and tried veterans, but men of character and education, and that the most perfect discipline prevalis on board. It is promised, and I fully believe it, that in all our doings the most strict principies of clvilizea war- fare will be carried out, and that the brutal deeds of the Spanish will not be imitated. The Alabama Expedition. Yesterday Marsha! Barlow, in reply to members of the press, representing the various city papers, positively denied the statements made to the effect that the steamship Alabama had landed at Key West a force of Cuban filibusters, saia to have embarked on her attnis port.

FERNANDINA, Fla., Oct. 2, 1869. United States Marshal Barlow, ot New York, tele- graphed to the Collector at this port to-day, making inquiries regarding the reported sailing of a Cuban expedition from this port. The Marshal 1s anxious to have the vessels intercepted and wanted them detained, but they had all safled. Two hundred recruits for the Cuban army arrived here to-day from Macon, Ga. ‘They intend to sail to-night for Cuba. An American revenue cutter and three Spanish gunboats are of Cedar Keys on the lookout for Cuban reinforcements. Reports Regarding the Lillinn and Teaser. New ORLEANS, Oct, 2, 1869.

WaAsHINGTON, Oct. 2, 1869, The government has not decided to take any action in the case of the Cuban privateer Hornet, nor fs it probable that she will be interfered with except she commits some depredations on American commerce. Ordinarily sn armed vessel sall- ing under an unrecognized flag 1s regarded asa pirate; but it is known that the administra- tion does not regard the Hornet in this lignt. She is not owned by private individuals, and she sails under the flag of a government which has put armies in the field ana is at present waging war with considerable success against Spain. The aaministration takes the view that un- der the circumstances the Hornet cannot be consid- ered strictly a pirate, and that according to the best interpretation of international law the United States is not bound to send out cruisers to capture her, MAYOR'S OFFICE. Mayor Hall Has the Celebrities of Europe in his Hands. From the above heading it might possibly be imagined that Mayor Halli had performed some brilliant coup @etat by which the celebrities of Europe were piaced in his power. Such an idea, however, would be decidedly erroneous. Not that the popular chief magistrate of the metropolis ig not capable of such a performance, provided any occaston for the use of his statesman- like apilities should arise, but as no movement of that sort would now be of any beneflt to the city Mayor Hall does not contemplate it, The fact is, the Mayor holds the celebrities referred to in miniature only. Marshal Tooker, accompanied by a few friends, entered the Mayor's sanctum sanclorum yesterday afternoon, armed with a peculiar looking bundle, which he handled very carefully. The party straight- ened up in his chair, and, gianeing through his peri- focals, and smiling with his characteristic smile at the coterie, said—*Well, gentlemen. Walk in, walk in, I can’texactly ask you all to sit down, What can | do for your’ Marshal TOOKER advanced, and, after “striking an attitude,’ said— Mayor Ha’ take gres pleasure in presenting to you s token of my m and gratitude.

The covers of the aibum are of Swiss walnut, handsomely carved. On the obverse 1s @ sunken medailion, in which is carved a wreath of oak leaves around @ tablet bearing in fine silver the monogram A.

The index is made into @ neat book, bound in maroon-colored turkey morocco, and 18 a marvel of typograpnical art. The entire affair is exquisite and unique, and, it 18 safe to say, ta not excelled, if equalled, by anything of the kind in the world, AMUSEMENTS. HIERMANN—MAGIC aT THE ACADEMY OF MU3IC.—~ That most astonishing of all magicians, Hermann, grows in public favor the longer he performs. Ths was seen in the large and highly respectabie audi- ence he had Jast night at the Academy of Music. Indeed, that vast theatre 1s filled every night he per- forms. At the Brooklyn Academy of Music on Frt- day night the rush was so great that his agents were compelled to stop selling tickets and to refuse admission to many persons. Talk of famous opera singers, of your celebrated sopranos or tenors, or of great tragedians or comedians drawing crowded houses, why Hermann beats them all. Tho people love amusements of such a highly amusing cbaracter, and they delight in being astonished, Tho Isughter and bursts of applause show how much they relish his intmitable illusions, ‘There is nothing vulgar or commonplace in his tricks—no stage machinery or paraphernalia. All 18 accomplished with his hands, and that rignt under the eyes of the audience, for he descends from the stage ana fs ae among them. Hermann has elevated con- Joring toa high art. Nor are bis feats of legerde- main stale ones. He creates as he Foe along, and eyery ni ht giver mething new and startling, Last night, Be rom; le, to mention one of these tricks, the erate of an ordinary glasy tumbler in the hands of one of the ekg otf ane rue standing at adistance, Chuaing e filed witl wine, is entirely new and perfectly inexplicable. However, it would be utterly useless to attempt to describe his feats. People must see the perform- ances to enjoy them, and even then they will go away more puzzled thanever. One ts almost ready to believe that if Hermann had gone into Wall street the other day when gold was “cornered,” he would have conjured up a supply of the precious metal more promptly than Secretary Boutweil furnished it, for he finds sjiver doilara, ad lidbtum, floating invisibly in the air, growing out of the baid pates of tmdividuals in the — audience and anywhere else he chooses to call for them. AN the conjurers, magicians, fortune tellers and spiritual mediums tn the land should see this greatest master of magic—that 1s, if they be not afraid of dying in despair. He ts to the whole tribe what Moses was to the magicians of Egypt. [tts their last chance, and the last opporeanty the public will have of seeing Hermann; for he will retire and perform no more after his existing engagements are Tulfilied. There will be only a limited number of per- formances in this part of the country. In New York he will appear again on Thursday and Saturday nights next week, and then three times @ week for @ short period only. On Tuesday and Wednesday nights next week he will be at the Opera House, Newark, and may give a few other performances at the surrounding places. This will finish the career of the great prestidigitateur in this part of America forever. “Formosa” has reached San Francisco. “Formosa” is en route for Formosa, China, Patti sings in Newark to-morrow night. ‘Muss Marriott is Hamleting in New Orleans, Brignoli warbles in Albany to morrow nigh, The Florences appear !n San Francisco to-morrow.
