HAVANA, Dec. 10, 18706 It is now definitely settled that General De Rodas ‘will leave on the 15th, at which time Valmaseda will assume command as Captain General. The city has remained quiet and well ordered since the date of my last despatch. On the evening of the 7th the iumina- tion in honor of Valmaseda was continued, this time ‘the palace being lighted up. A grand serenade was also given him in the Plaza del Cristo, where he Tesides, He made a few patriotic remarks from the balcony, and ended by cheering for the volunicers of Cuba, De Rodas stood by his side. The oiicers of the Volunteer battalions will give Vaimaseda a grand banquet at Marionao next Sunday.

Much animation was perceptible, as on gala occasions there always is here, where the general situation 1s 80 gloomy. A grand paride took place, guns were tired, and candles, ban- ners and other decorations were everywhere observed. A ball was given in the evening a the Casino Espanol, but @ slight rain was sufl- sclent to prevent tne ladies attending, and the aftair proved @ failure.

CASCORRO, * 10, 1870. This once beantifal little village now shews the effects of devastating war. The people have en- Urely abandoned It, leaving it to the occupancy of the Spanish detachments, which make their head- quarters here, and censtantly scour the country im search of insurgents and fer the purpese of destroy ing all the meansof subsistence for the people. Whiie the policy is justifled en the ground that only by it can the island be preserved te Spain, it ts cer- tain that under it the most unheard of cruelties and atrocities are perpetrated, Meu are ruthlessly shot down, women are ravished, stripped naked and left to die; children are murdered and throughout the country a very pandemonium exists, The treops here consist of one brigade, under | command of Brigadier Suances, comprising the battalion of Marina, Unton and Pizarro; and if they accomplish little toward suppressing the insur+ rection it is not for want of zeal on the part of their commander, who keeps them constantly at work, However, the extent of country over which they are compelled to operate and its many inaccessible localities render their efforts in encountering the in- surgents for the most part futile, it being only when some presentado or prisoner is induced to become guide that these are found. An occasion of this character occurred a few days since, and considera- ble excitement followed. ‘the entire command was ordered out, and on the 12th started for Uriente, whence they were to march, in accordance with some secret and most important information which the Brigadier had received, The troops arrived at the latier place, rested for a time, and then took up @ line of march through bypaths in oraer to avoid the advanced sentinels of the enemy. This attempt, how- ever, proved a faliure, as at daybreak the advanced guard encountered the Cuban pickets on the estate of St. Domingo, and a brisk firing commenced, sj | The column at once halted and was divided mto three detachments, which advanced on separate lines, with a view of flanking the enemy. These soon came on intrenchmenis and met o heavy fire, which was kept up for a considerable me. An advance was then ordered by the Spanish commander and the troops succeeded in entering the trench. The Cubans donot seem to have met From pa- ers captured it was learnéd that the insurgent force belonged to the Fifth battalion of the prigade of North Camaguey, commanded by Ferdumo. ‘The troops secu to have returned without further adventure.

Behind them followed two prisoners—Mendoza and José Olachea, son of a Spaniard residing in this city, devoted to the Cuban cause, As he passed Mendoza glanced upward toward the building in which the Cubans Were wont to meet im other days to consider the oondition of theirgmisrulea country, and over nis face thrilled an expression of pain as his eye fell on the sign “Casino Espaiol,” which embodies within itself all Possible hatred to himself and race. A mass of Captain and One of the Gang Wounded. Scarcely a day passes without a record being made of some desperate attempt at robbery, with vlolence, along the river frontage of this city, and it not unfrequently happens that not only is property of great value stolen, but men are missed who were left in charge of It, and never again heard of. The inference is that in most cases murder, as well as robbery, 18 committed. The river front appears now to be as thickly infested with these RECKLESS, MURDEROUS RUFFIANS agever. The schooner ©. Clemens was lying snugly moored at the foot of Jacksen street yesterday morning, at about three o'clock, when she wags boarded by a gang of desperadoes for the purpose of plunder.

At eight o'clock A. M. of the 28th he started on his march to bis hero’s tomb. With no affectation or bravado, ope and cheerfully he moved along, smiling at ie taunts with which @ cowardly populace of Spaniards greeted him.

Peter Connelly, allas Conners, a waiter, residing at 223 East Twenty-second street, and a companion named Lewis Derbest, of 109 West Fortteth street, on Friday afternoon went on 4@ drunk together and imbibed a large amount of fighting whiskey. About half-past eight, while they wero discussing as to who was “the best man’ of the two, Connolly pro- a lite skirmish on their own hook.

It was not ull 1853 that the lively, enterprising (!) people of “our towne on the Pasayak” would even agree to the cobble stone bus! ness, Rather than saddle the cost they preferred to ' Jet Broad street continue to be at certain seasens of the year aregular mud canal—such as it was on tho memorable day WHEN KOSSUTH VISITED NEWARK. On that day tho city authorities had to use great care in saving the carriage of their distinguished visitor from being regularly swamped in the puddle, which, 1a some places along the strect, was several feetdeep. At another time, witha view to shaming the community into removing the disgrace, a boss carpenter, named Isaac Balawin, procured a beat nearly five feet long and SAILED UP MARKET STREET, Just as the coat barges now do on the Morris Canal, the motive power being the same—horses, In the year named the thoroughfare was “paved with copble stones, Within @ year or so the Legisiatare of the State passed an act authorizing the clly of Newark to REPAVE ANY PORTION OF BROAD STREET ‘with such pavement as a majority of property own- ers along the Itne of the street might desire, 1eu- ons Were circulated among the property owners between Market street aud the canal bridge, & distance of about three ordinary blocks, and the proposition to pave with wooden blocks, according to the Nicolson patent, agreed to, Tue werk in due time was accomplished. Now comes the question, “HO IS TO PAY THE PIPER?” The city, through its wise, neble and sacrific- ing City Fathers, nad contracted with the pavement company to do the work, ana expected that what. ever the cost might pe the property owners woud of course, make good, The elty paid the bill, bul ‘when the assessments were made out and proceed~ ings taken to enforce paymeftt of the same 4 large number of the property owners ebjected, and last June, throngh their counsel, made application to the Supreme Court of the State of New Jersey, then in session at Trenton, for the allowance of ‘A WRIT OF CERTIORARI toremove the aforesaid proceedings, The opinion of the Court was asked relative to the question whether by the constitution and tae law of the Stata Such assessments were constitutional and lawful or not, The writs were allowed, and on the return of the same at the November term of court the case was fully argued by Thomas N. McCarter, counsel for the property owners, and Courtlandt Parker apd N. Perry, Jr., for the city. The DECISION OF THE COURT has not yet been given, butts expected to be en an early day. The greatest anxtety 1s /eltin the matter, ag this case involves great constitutional questions of taxation, and will determme how far legisiation can compel property owners to be made liable for payment of paving streets again which had pre- viously been paved at their e: . THE PROPERTY OWNERS CLAIM that any such Pees of taxation is unequal and unjust, and, while they do not deny the rights of cities to repave any street, they insist, nevertheless, that the entire city is bound to pay lor the same, forasmuch as the bencfit is to the whole city and not pensions A for the few property owners in the im. mediate vicinity of the improvement. On Friday night the gentlemen whom Dr. Abram Coles, Newark’s well Known poet physiclan, has styled THE “COUNCILMANIC PILATES,” at thelr regular monthly meeting, and after & long and animated debate, passed the ordinance by a vote of sixteen to six authorizing the pavement of South Bread street with Niteolson. This they did in view of tue fact, as strenuously argued by seid Dan Baker, that a large numberof the preperty owners along the jine of che street, while strongly in favor of @ stone or other pavement, are utterly opposed to @ wooden one, more especially Nicolsen. THE REPUBLICAN €ENERAL COMMITTEE. The Organization of the New Committee— Horace Greeley Elected «as Chairman “Chariey” Conspicuous by His Absence. The new Republican Generat Committee met last evening, corner ‘Twenry-second street and Broad- way. On motion of Mr. GaLtoway J, Solis Ritter- band was elected chairman and George Coachman as secretary. Mr. RITTERBAND, on taking the chair, thanked the cominittee for the honor they had conferred upon him. They had met, he said, for consultation, fol- lowing the example set them by the repnbdiican members of Congress, who had met together for consultation before the hour of actton, He con- gratulated them that new names were on the roll anc new faces In the room—names and faces of men who iad taken no part in the committee's delibera- tlons, but whe had stood by it with “THE OLD TOUCH OF THE ELBOW” when the Pathfinder led the van and when the sainted Lincoln nad commanded the army in tts hour of victory. It was a matter of congratulation that they had entered the temple te worship without fear of their skirts being svalned. They had, he knew, with their energy and THEIR PURSES fonght bravely in the fights of 1865 and 1868, The strong hand of the legitimate republican voters had plucked from the party’s garden the weeds which strangled the growth of the good plants, ‘Tho roll was then called, the name of Horace Greeley receiving no response. Commissioner MANIERRE moved that a committee of five be appointed to select the names to be voted for as permanent officers for the year, The CHAik appoited Benjamin I’. Manterre, R. F. Andrews, Themas 1. Stewart, D.

A DELEGATE thought Mr. Conover’s motion was Just the thing. Colonel FatRMAN made a few remarks, during which he referred to the bylaws, and said something Me oe some of the audience considered very funny abou “WHO'LL BE KING BUT CHARLEY,’? referring evidently to one of the stars that fell from the committee's misty sky a short time ago, when somebody who wanted to get one of the committee's high horse seats didn’t exactly succeed, Yolice Commissioner Sata expressed his intense desire for reguiarity by requesting that the amend- meyts the committce should see ft to make be pried In slip3s—paper, not political slips—which each member could get a good look at, withoug glasses, a few days be ore the Tammany meeting, The committee were then appointed. Mr. OLIVER believed that some of the members of the committee would be engaged on the Sth of Janu- ary “otherwise,” if the meeting of the committee were to be held that night.

A desperate affray occarred yesterday between two men, named Dennis Gerraghty and James McDou- gall, who are employed in a South Brooklyn saw- mill. The men had an altercation avout a week since and ha@ nos spoken together since that time, Yesterday, a8 McDougall was passing Gerraghty in the shop, Re spoke pleasantly to him. Gerraghty, without making apy reply, airuck McDougall with a file, DESTROYING ONH OF MIS EYES, Some of the Iriends of the men then interfered and prevented them from dotng any further injury to each other. A policeman Was catied in, ana they were taken to Justice Walsh’s court, The Justice being engaged at the time the men were both placed ina cell to await examination. They had only been there & short time wien they got into a desperate encounter, BITING AND GOUGING each other inthe most shocking manner. By the time officer Fox got into the cell they were down upon the floor, and McDougall had succeeded in taking a big mouthfal out of Gerraghty’s cheek, ‘The men had to be separated by force and placed in senarale Cols (0 awaAll examinstlons, THE DRY GOODS MARKET. Review of the Market for the Past Week—The Bales and the Prices. ‘The dry g00d8 market during the past week was somewhat more active as ® general thing than tt | was during the week previous, the cold weather | having given a new impulse to certain lines of goods which the extraordinary weather of a week ago had made almost a dead letter, DOMBSTIO GOODS were very quiet, without change in prices. It being 60 near the close of the year merchants preferred to “take stock” rather than to buy goods, There was very little out of town trade in the city, and but few orders were received. Cotton, however, being low, gooas were proportionately low and & | brisk trade 1s looked for during the coming week. On account of the warm weather which prevailed & | short time ago the trade in flannel and blankets was light, but the cold weather in the past few days stimulated 1t considerably, Although th> demand ‘was light for the season the trade is expected to 1u- crease between now and January. ‘The great drought during the summer in the East created a great scarcity in woollen goods, 80 there 1s no large accumulation on hand. White goods were quiet in the general lines but a large business was done im those suitable for party dresses, such as | tarlutang, Swisses and French organdics, Balmoral skirts were very dull, prices being ten per cent jower than two weeks ago. ‘Ihe stock on hand was hight, and most of the manufacturers are preparing for the dpring business in white skirts and white printed skirts. aie LINED were very dull for this season of the year, less than twenty-five per centof the usual business having | beem done. ‘Ihe late warm weather was the cause of it, and prices in comsequence ruled far below the cost of manufacture. Many orders made two weeks ago were cancelled. FURS were dull in jobbing hands, but very good in the retail trade, Alaska sables are becoming quite fash- fonabie as trimmings for cloaks and velyeis, Seal skin, In boas, muils and sacks was in very active demand. It nas been exceedingly popular in Eng. | land for two or three years past, and 13 fast | gaining ground 1n these parts, #0 much 80 | that it 18 believed that 1t will have become more of @ favorite than even mink by next winter. Astrakian sacks wero quite ‘active. Prices In desirable furs were not much changed, Squirrel 1s a arug in the market, in fact utterly dead beyond all hope of resuscitation, although there 1s a large stock on hand. READY MADE SUITS for ladies were in afairdemand. They have not come up to the expectation of tne trade, however, and a good many houses have been badly “stuck”? | with them, Braided water proof suits were quite brisk. The fringes or shawl sults, which were so popular at the opening of the season, have been utterly killed by their having been adopted exten- sively by the demi-monde. Arabs and Bedouins | were tn active demand from the South. They are very much used as carriage garments. SHAWLS AND ROBES. Shawls held their own well during the week, and re were firm, Striped shawls were quite active. ‘here was a brisk trade in {creign and domestic car- riage robes and blankets, Camel’s hair shawls were particularly in very active demand. i DRESS GOODS were in much better demand tham during the week preceding, The greatest activity prevailed in the Inatter ef empress cloths, particularly in wine celors and dark browns, while blacks were aimost entirely out of the market. The delicate shades of merino } | Wea fomeriy used as @ church, but was destroyed | Confessional in the © were scarce, on acceunt of the excessive demand for them. French goods were very scarce. Delaines and all kinds of reps were dull. LACES, embroideries, Hnen cambric handkerchtefs, &c., were In greater demand than they have been for many years, and fetched good prices. The stock of ‘oods in this line at A. T. Stewart's is said to be the ree ey in the market, Hea at a low price abroad owing to the panicky feeling which prevailed there previous to the war. In DRESS SILKS ‘the trade was very active, and there was a great deal more jobbing than at this time last year. Certain grades of light evening colors were very scarce. The stock on hand 1s small, except black silks, of which there 1s the ordinary quantity. Prices were firm and are expected to advance, as the production from Lyons must become less and less every day. VELVETS were very active, In fact, velvets never enjoyed & more successful season. Prices were firm, mantilla and dark shades being very scarce. The trade in RIBBONS during the week was full as good as during the week previeus, Prices remained about the same for de- wiral 3. The colers in greatest demand were garnets, dark browns, dark greens/ &c. The de- mand will keep up, it 13 betteved, to the close of the season, There wasa light steck onhand. Black 08 grains, twelves and sixteens, were se scarce, ‘ivbons for sashes were in falr demand, light blues, lJavenders and garnets being the favorites. The de- mand for Roman sashes, however, was fair, although they have had a leng run. UPHOLSTERY Goops.

Cheney American silks were In greater demand than the supply, with no change in the prices. FOREIGN AND DOMESTIC WOOLLENS were dull, but little of the stock on hand being dis- posed of.

At last grim Winter’s breath has chilled to death the iingering airs of autumn. Premonitory flakes of snow, followed py inciptent hail, floods of ram and flerce blasts of Northern wind, gave warning that the extraordinarily mild season which the people hereabonts have been enjoying must soon give way te Christmas weather. A keen, biting wind has swept the Hudson for some days, the alr was laden with frost and there were the usual signs in the heavens portending the near approach of winter. On Friday last some of the up-town: PONDS WERE FROZEN OVE! and on two of them, in the viciuity of Madison ave- nue, the eager boys inaugurated the skating season, ‘The ice was in some paris of these ponds two inches thick. ‘The risky aport of skating on the park ponds would, doubtless, have been tried but. Tor the watchful policemen on duty there. Alarge number of boys wandered toward the Park yester- day. ‘but were disappointed in their expectations, ‘he comparatively warm weather which prevailed duting the day was fatal to their hopes, Prepara- tiena on an extended scale are, however, now being made, in the expectation that with the coming week the skating season will fatrly commence, “NAVIGATION ON THE HUDSON is closed for the season. The river Is choked with floating ice in the neighborhood of Albany, aud consequently the danger to boats going up and down would be very considerable. Some hay and grain barges, in tow of propellers now on their way up the river from this city, will, it is feared, be frozen in for the winter. The Hudson river naviga- tors are confident that the wiuter will be exceeed- ingly severe. WEWTOWN WANTS TO JOIN LONG ISLAND CITY. At the next session of the Legislature 1t Is the in- tention of & large number of the infuential residents of that part of Newtown to petition the legislature to allow the entire town to be embraced in the limits of Long Island City. This decision has arisen on ac- connt of the enormous increase in the taxes of the town, and because the people think that with a city charter the ring cannot steal as effectually as they do now. A large number of wealthy men are re- moving from the town on account of this state of thing, and the feeling ts general that unless some- things is done for the relief of taxpayers taxes will eat up the catire property of the town. In propors tion to the inhabitants and weaith, the Newtown ring are more corrupt than their breturen in the adjoining counties. Re THE ROTTEN BAY BRIDGE DISASTER.
