Tho Henaup resident correspondent at the Cuban capital has forwarded us the following despatch: — Via Key West, Fla., Nov. 12, 1872. Mr. A. Boyd Henderson, the Hznaxp Special Commissioner, has already carried out part of his mission. In spite of the dangers which beset him on all sides he has sought out the insurgents in their secret fastnesses and obtained an interview with Manuel Agramonte, who has done more hard fighting and inflicted more losses on the Spaniards than any other of the present Cuban leaders. Mr. Henderson sends the following report of the result of his tour from Vista Hermosa, whither he had retarned on the 9th instant from the encampment of Agramonte. THE START FOR AGRAMONTE'S CAMP. He says:—I started unarmed and accom- panied by only two guides for the encampment of Agramonte, | lost Thursday, Six miles from Vista Hermosa I fellin with the insurgent leader Enrique el Americano a Havana, Nov. 11, I and 8 number of his followers. I had a con- érsation with him, telling him the purport of my mission. I ensily gained his confidence, and he communicated to me part of their plans and mode of warfare. He expressed his confidence in the ultimate triumph of the insurrection, and seemed pleased with the idea of the Heratp in sending a special correspondent to investigate the state of the struggle. I then requested him to escort me to the headquarters of Agramonte, He promptly consented, and, separating me from my com- panions, conducted me alone towards the camp of the famous insurgent chief. A PICKET GUARD EN DESHABILLE. Three miles in advance of Agra- monte’s headquarters we met a picket guard of insurgents, consisting of eight white men, dressed only in pantaloons and about one hundred negroes, who were devoid even of that article of cloth- ing, the majority of them being almost naked, Although the whole crowd had only eight pair of pantaloons among them, their horses, arms and equipments were in a fair condition; in fact, in marked contrast with their state of déshabillé, but am- munition seems to be very scarce with them. I inquired after their mode of living and had their food shown to me. They have meat, with vegetubles and oranges and lemons in abundance, but no coffee. Their beverage is hot water, sweetened with honey, which they On my arrival AT THE HEADQUARTERS OF AGRAMONTE I was received with suspicion, because of the probabilities of General Grant’s re-election, which appeared to -produce a disagreeable impression with the Cuban insurgents, who look upon President Grant’s administration as hostile to their cause. HENDERSON'S FURTHER MOVEMENTS, Mr. Henderson arrived yesterday (on the 10th) at Puerto Principe, and will leave thence for Nuevitas to-morrow. From the latter place he goes on the 13th to Santiago, accom- panied by Ensign Aguero, of the Spanish army, to see the operations in the Oriental department. sree Lay CUBA.

Breaking of the Machinery—Helpless Drift Towards the French Coast—Excitement On TELEGRAM TO THE NEW YORK HERALO. The National Line steamship Helvetia, which Salled from the port of New York for London on the 23d of October, under command of Captain Grigs, encountered very severe weather when just near- ing the English coast. On Friday last, 8th instant, while oif Portland, the machinery of the Helvetia broke. She succeeded, however, in reaching the vicinity of the Isle of Wight, when she BECAME UNMANAGEABLE and drifted rapidly toward the French coast. As the port of Chervourg came in sight the anxiety of the officers became very great, They were unable to regain control over the steamer's movements and were, withship, in danger of being driven on the shore, SIGNALS OF DISTRESS.

Peaceful Relations with Khiva Highly Impor- tant to the Czar—Policy of the St. Peters- burg Diplomacy for an Advance to the Border of ‘British India. 3 eg Rare TELEGRAM TO THE NEW YORK HERALD. Sr. PETERSBURG, Nov. 12, 1872. The Imperial Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs is about to conclude treaties of commerce with the three principal States of Central Asla, viz. Khokan, Bokhara and Kashgar. The Gazette de St. Petersbourg (oMicial) says “the present relations between Russia and Khiva cannot be maintained,” and declares that “the safety of the Russian boarder depends upon the relations with Khiva.” Preliminary Action of the Russians—Im- portance of the Imperial Negotiations. Information reached Cabul on the 6th of Septem- ber last of the occurrence of a collision between the Russians and Yakoob Beg, the Atalik Ghazi of Yarkand. The Rossians seized two towns belong- ing to the potentate, and they have since alarmed the Khan of Khiva after the military fashion, which has been just lately described in HERALD de- spatches from the East, THE OCZAR'S COMMERCIAL INTERESTS AND DIPLO- MATIC INTEREST. The conciliation of Khiva to Russia by the nego- tiation and ratification of a commercial treaty will be equally advantageous to the Ozar's government nd people, and much more agreeable and in con- sonance with the spirit of the age, as would its conquest in war. Khiva is the last Central Asiatic Khanate of any strength retaining its independence. The very fact of its fee | 80 has kept alive the hopes of freedom in the an- nexed regions of Turkistan, even when its ruler did not actually support the malcontents. Thesub- jection or friendship of hiva would ‘“cor- rect” the Russian frontier in a most desirable way. At present Russian Turkistan is a compara- tively narrow strip of country protruding a long distance into hostile, or, at oe rate, uniriendly territory ; but, if rounded off by Khiva, it would form a compact whole, giving Russia continuous sway over all the land and water from the Caspian, or, rather, from the Pruth, as far as the Chinese fron- tier east of Kuldsha. Another important point would be the acquisition of A NEW WAY TO CENTRAL ASIA, Superadded to the two existing ones by Oren- burg and Omsk, this would sécufe a commenica- tion eVen in dificult times and ted f augment the defenslbii.fy of the new territory. It is even possible that thé delta of the Amou Darya, now too shallow to be navigable, may be rendered access{- ble to ships—a task attempted by the Russians some years ago, but which could not be carried out because of the hostility of the Khivans. STEAM POWER AND THE IRON RAIL AS AGENTS IN THE RACE OF PROGRESS. Petrovsk, which in a few years will be connected with the Russian railways, is only forty-eight hours from Krasnovodsk. The latter place, were the locomotive to run from it to Khiva, would be only twenty-fours’ journey from the banks of the Amou Darya. But the Amou is a river penetrating into the very heart of Central Asia, and navigavle for some seven hundrea miles, With Rus- sian steamers once launched upon it, under @ treaty arrangement as spoken of to-day, all Bokhara, Khundush, Khulum, Balkh and Badash- kan will be brought within the reach of Russian arms and manufactures. Khundush is no more than 360 miles from Peshawur, the starting point of the Angio-Indian railways; and if the road which beech Cabul could be protected from Afghan lepredations, or, which is more probable, super- poled by the route from Badashkan to the Indus, the Russian line of communication would actually extend to the borders of the British Asiatic pos- sessions.

AN ENGLISH INSURANCE COMMISSION TO SIT AT THB SCENB OF THE CONFLAGRATION, A commission is to be despatched to Boston by the London insurance companies to make an inves- tigation of the facta in relation to the origin and progress of the conflagration in the American city, asa matter of general importance to insurance interests, London City Press Commonts on the Latest American Calamity, Lonpon, Nov. 12, 1872, The London city journals, in their issue this Morning, express universally, and without excep- tion, the deepest sympathy for the sufferers by the conflagration in Boston, The writers attribute the great disaster to the bad management of the fire department, police and municipal authorities of that city. The London Standard says:—“The Boston fire 18 scandalous outrage on civilization, and evi- dence of a most ineMeient city government." By way of showing the superiority in cases like that of the Boston fire of & small, well organized fire department over @ large but badly managed one, the Standard compares the small London fire brigade and the narrow, crooked streets and alleys of this city, where fires seldom get beyond the buildings whorein they originate, to the thousands of undisciplined firemen, huge granite structures and open places in Boston, “There, says the English journalist, ‘the best portion of the city was destroyed for want of good management to prevent the progress of the flames, which were finally stopped by gunpowder; and this wretched business was entrusted to volunteer citizens in- stead of skilled operators.”’ LIVINGSTONE AND STANLEY.

Alluding to the finding of Dr, Living- stone by Mr. Stanley, he declared that “the journey of the latter {nto the interior of Africa was a most important event, and that Mr, Stanley deserved a medal from the Society for the accomplishment of his great undertaking.” EAST AFRICAN SLAVE TRADE. Cabinet Replies to the English Proposition for United Action Against the Traffic—Facts and Figures Concerning the Social Enormity. TELEGRAM TO THE NEW YORK HERALD. Lonpov, Nov. 12, 1872, The foreign governments which were requested by Great Britain to co-operate in the movement which is now being made in England for the sup- pression of the East African slave trade have sent rephes expressing their sympathy with the cause, but declining to unite in the active measures con- templated by England. THE CASE AS PRESENTED AT VICTORIA'S COURT. General Kirkham, the English director of the forces of the King of Abyssinia, who arrived in London quite lately, gives startling information respecting the slave traMic carried on between the interior of Africa and the Turkish dominions. He estimates the number of slaves annually carried off from Africa to the Arab and Turkish markets at eighty to ninety thousand. These unhappy beings, who are taken away at ages ranging from seven or eight to sixteen years, are brought down from the centre of the continent and the region of the White Nile to Kassala, and are hurried on to the slave market at Metemeh, to be resold for shipment to Jeddo, whence they are sent to Turkey by land. These eighty or ninety thousand slaves are brought up in the Mahomedan faith, and em- ployed in doing the dirty work of the Mussulmans of Turkey and Egypt. The General hopes that “public attention may more urgently be directed to the iniquitous Nile slave trade.” GERMANY. The Session of the Prussian Diet Reopened— Speech from the Throne.

The relations of the State to the religious so- cieties are alluded to as a subject for legislation, The Country Reform bill wiil again be submitted, slightly amended. The necessity and expediency of the measure are demonstrated. The speech concludes with a declaration that the government is “firmly resolved to carry out its in- tention of improving the local administration of the Kingdom, and will avail itself of all the consti- tutional means at its disposal to effect the object.” The Upper House subsequently proceeded to choose a president, and elected Baron Stolberg, a friend of the government.

Second Stage of the Epizooty—Dropsy Setting In and Proving Fatal. As was feared by veterinary surgeons, there has appeared in the large stables of the city a sec- ond phase of the horse disease—a relapse, tending to dropsy, which in several instances has proved fatal. This disease made its appearance but a few days since, and it seems to affect those animals that were compelled to de work in the first stages of the epizooty, and this is a marked rebuke to those who would not give them rest. Inquiries were made in relation to the matter at the Sixtn and Third avenue car stables and at the Fifth avenue 81 line yesterday. At the first Ramed the Superintendent stated they had six cases with one death on Monday. The symptoms are @ swelling of the legs and belly. The horse that died was swollen to an enormous size and his limbs Were so stiff that he could not lie down. Just before expiring he fell over. The treatment pur- sued is rubbing the swollen parts with liniment composed of panaor hartshorn and sweet oil. The feed at the Sixth avenue stabi is composed of corn and oat two-thirds of the latter to one of the former. At the Fifth avenue stage stables the Superin- tendent admitted that there had been one or two fatal cases recently, but would not enter into par- ticulars. At the avenue stables the Superin- tendent said that the horses were affected just as old people are sometimes after a fever. They have had six cases, four of which were fatal. The heart or june must be reached before there is any dan- ger. e horses are physicked, but not rubbed with liniment. They are “rowelled,” that is, a string is drawn through the breast, producing a sore, Which draws away the inflammation from the lungs. This dropsy seems to have appeared very nerally in the stables throughout the city, but so far it has not assumed formidable proportions. Rapid Spread of the Horse Disease in Cin. cinnati—It is in the City of the Saints, CINCINNATI, Ohio, Nov. 12, 1872. The streets are comparatively clear of horses to- night, The disease, in a mild form, is spreading rapidly; but onty four or five deaths have been re- ported, and the horses taken sick last Friday night appear to be recovering. Freight is ac- cumulating at the river and railroad depots, and trade generally has been interrupted. The Ameri- can Express Company is using oxen. The Adams Express Company has not yet been affected. One team of four oxen Sypeaeed in the streets to-day. One-quarter of the Fire Department horses were stricken to-day, and a fire brigade of 100 men to each engine house, to draw the apparatus to fires, ‘ganized to-night. Only three of the was or street car lines were running this morning, with one-filth of their force, and to-night they have stopped altogether. Very few omnibuses are running, and only one-fourth of the carriages. The Horse Discase in Salt Lake City. Sart Laks, Utah, Nov. 12, 1872. The horse disease is reported in this city to-day.

The Sale of the Belmont Collection. Clinton Hall waa last night crowded by the mest! prominent art patrons of the city. The state of the weather no doubt kept away s great number, of people, and also the general idea that there would be a crush. These two causes combined to prevent the rush that otherwise undoubtedly would have taken place. Nor was the sudden calamity that had fallen on Boston altogetuer without its {nfluence on the attendance or the enthusiasm of the assistants. The melancholy fate of the North< ern city had disturbed unquestionably the financiat adairs, and at the same time the nerves of the buyers, It would have been lm poasible to have chosen a worse time to throw Works of art on the market, but as the announce- ™ment had been made it was diMcult to recede, ‘The sudden disturbance of the commercial world! and the certainty that money would be needed to repair the frightful losses incurred at Boston, made men button up closely their pockets whe under other circumatances would have purchased!

The composition of tue picture is strikingly bold and tforoible, and, withal, is full of the sentiment of lone- liness and desolation.

A large and important work by Bougereau, “The Mother and Child,” brought $4,000, which was far below tie price the printing would have commanded in the Europeam market, Achenbach's two works were com- aratively more successful, ‘Capri’? brin, ing $1,950 and a scene in Norway $1,150. Bot are striking examples of Andrew Achenbach ang ilustrate that artist's style, They are more care+ fully finished than most of the works from bis eased which find their way into this country. “TLe Nore way Landscape” has acertain GRANDEUR AND SOLEMNITY well in keeping with the wild and rugged beauty of the scene, A say Painted picture of Adolphe Dilleus brought $660, é One of the most important pickexes in the gal- lery, Bert-Fleury’s “Pillage of Rome,” brought only $2,400. It represents an incident in the sack of the sacred “th by the Constuble de al Bourbon's army. @ composition is stron and full of action; all the subordinate groups: Ae well harmonized, so as to contribute to the effect of the picture without losing any of thei necessary individuality. The various tions of the assistants are brought out clearly to the min of the spectator. The scene is impressive, but suck: details as would dee, pen the horror have been simply, suggested. In this the artist has shown an excellent conception o! the proper limitation of art. Some of the other works sold at prices far belo their value, ragp-rea Ad judged from the following list of prices of the principal works:—“Sheep,' by Ansdell, 2,600; “taljan Mother and ay by. jouguerau, 4,000 5 “ Marino ‘allero,” by De Keyser, $2,200; “Th Emigrants,’ "by De Taye, $775; Peasant, Woman,” by Eybel, $000; ‘Drink of Water, "oy E, Frere, $000; “Baron” Munchausen,” $4,100 “Diogenes,” by Gerome, $5,800; “4 by Hamman, $450; “The Savoyard,’’ ‘A E. Johnston, $1,300; “Pastor and Poacher,’* $4,000; “Maid of Saragossa,’ ahs Leutze, $1,700. The entire collection not re- alize over $70,000, & sum which falls far short of the expectations formed beforehand. Tho lowest calculations were that the collection would bring about $100,000, and the difference is no doubt chiefly caused by the terrible calamity im Boston Inaleposing merchants from making in- vestments which cannot be promptly realized.
