Oopeland—Volun- teer. Toaste—"Shamus O’Brien,” by Con- gressman Dodd—“Auld Lang Syne.” WASHINGTON, Jan, 18, 1873, ‘The Washington Correspondents’ Ulub, organized ome years since, initiated the custom of giving banquets at which those journalists who were in Congress were welcome guests. Special banquets were also given to Schuyler Colfax when he ‘was elected Vice President and to John W. Forney ‘when he left here to devote himself to the Phila- @etphia press, But there has not been so genetal a @esire on the part of the correspondents to unite around the festive board and to invite their most Gigtinguished friends to join them there as was manifest when it was proposed to give a compll- mentary banquet to Mr. Stanley, who, as the special correspondent of the New YorE HERALD, faad refiected such high honor on the profession. Committees were appointed to make all necessary preparations, and a cordial invitation was sent to Mr. Stanley, who accepted it and fixed the evening efSaturday, January 11, as the the time when he ‘would receive the tendered hospitalities, WILLARD’S HOTEL, which has recently been reconstructed, renovated and refurnished, was selected as the scene of fes- tivity, and the proprietor, Mr. Cake, did every- thing in his power to secure success. To avoid all gealousies and dissensions in the selection of in- wited guests the President of the United States ‘was the only one invited by the correspondents as @ body, but each individual extended his personal invitation to distinguished friends, Had tickets been sold there would have been a great demand for them; but the correspondents preferred to give the entertainment themselves, at their own ex- pense, and to have the other gentlemen present as their gnests. In selecting those to whom invita- ions Were sent scarcely a prominent man was emitted, and all who have been connected with journalism were remembered. Mr. Adams, one of. the oldest correspondents and a general favorite witn his sasociates, was selected as President of the evening, and discharged his duties with, great success, ‘THE RECEPION OF GUESTS took place in the drawing rooms of thé hotel, which were brilliantly lighted. Each gentleman, on hisen- trance, was escorted by one of the committee of re- veption to Mr. Adams, who, in turn, presented him to Mr, Stanley. The great discoverer was already mown to some of the party, but all appeared anxious to see him after his return from the suc- cessful execution of the task imposed upon him by the Naw York Heraup. He had received high honors in other lands and in New York from the ‘wise, the great, the gifted and the good; now he ‘wae recognized by his professional brethren, who could appreciate the dangers through which he had passed and the difficulties he had surmounted im obeying his instructions. Every leading news- paper in the land had its recognized representa- tive among those who congregated around their distinguished colleague, and, as the other guésts arrived, they also paid homage to the brave ex- plorer of the African wilderness, There was the gaunt, soldierly form of Sherman, the burly Wil- son, the genial Anthony, the able Blaine, the viva- cous Cox, the astute Cameron, the judicial Thur- man, the diplemiatic Hale and scores of other prominent men all joining in the congratulatory remarks made to ‘the HeraLp man who found Livingstone.” Every one was in the beat of Rumor, the Guelphs and the Ghibellines of the Capitol cordially fraternizing. Of course every one was in full evening dress of sombre black, ex- cept General Sherman, whose blue dress coat was decked with army buttons, THE DINNER ‘was a feast fit for the epicureans of old. There ‘were two long tabies, with a cross-table at the head of the hall, ornamented with emblems cun- ningly wrought in confectionery, and with boquets of rare exotic flowers, On each plate was the fol- sowing bill of fare, exquisitely printed :— ONION RESON EELEDON LOOONE REIOLONDOLELE NE HE COMPLIMENTARY BANQUET WASHINGTON “CohitesronpENts HENRY M.

Many of these gentlemen correspond with sev- era) other papers in addition to that which they represent, and it waa estimated by a statistician at the table that what they telegraph hence every night, meeta the eyes of upward of a.million of readers the next morning. After Mr. Adams had invited the company to take seats the knife and fork exercise was commenced, and a battalion of gentlemen from Africa commenced their move- ments ag PURVEYORS OF GOOD CHEER.

History of the Vessel from Her Departure, from New London—Her Detentions at Kingston and Aspinwall. The Cuban. residents in New York, a8 well aw large numbers of American sympathizers im thia city, were overjoyed yesterday upon learning that the expedition of General Melchor Aguero om board the steamship Edgar Stuart, with munitions of war, volunteer recruits and arms, had safely ar~ rived off the coast of Cuba, where she had safely; Janded not only her living freight of patriotic mens’ comprising Cubans, Americans and Irishmen, who are willing to run the risk of losing their lives om behalf of Cuban independence, but also all her cargo. The following is an inventory of her muni- tions of war, &0, :— One thousand Remington carbines, with 50,000 cartridges. One thousand Springfield rifles, with 200,000 cars tridges, Six Winchester rifles. One million five hundred thousand percussion, caps. One hundred revolvers, different patterns, Two hundred swords, Two tons powder, Forty thousand erraige for Spencer carbines., Nine hundred and thirty-seven hand grenade: (sixty-three of which were landed in Cuba Jas May). Two hundred and fifty pounds of powder for the e. Two small fleld pieces. Three hundred uniforms. ‘Twenty-four bowie knives. Six cases of medicine. Three cases surgical instruments, Twelve pocket cases ditto, Twelve pieces linen for pants. Six barrels of whiskey. A large amount 01 provisions, and trunk contain« ing wearing apparel lor the personal use of Presi- dent Cespedes, THR CREW AND THE VOLUNTRERS, The crew consists of fourteen men and forty-one: Cuban volunteers, under the command of Genera j' Aguero, who is the commander of the expedition. HOW THE NEWS CAME TO NEW YORK. The telegram of the safe arrival of the vessey was received yesterday evening in this city via Key West, having passed through the Censor’¢ office at Havana. On its face it was merely an or< dinary commercial despatch, and, as may be con jectured, contained no mention of the vessel's name, Asin the case of other Cuban expeditiong which have leit our shores, cipher messages are resorted to to hoodwink the authorities.. Not Many months ago a telegram was received in this, city from an Eastern port which ran as jollows: “My wife and I leave for Saratoga to-night,’ which, according to the code adopted, meant,’ “Vessel clear of the authorities; we start for Cuba, to-night.” THE WANDERINGS OF THE EDGAR STUART. , The steamer in question cleared from New Lon. don in April last with the munitions of war abover described, “bound for Key West and @ market.’% She arrived off the southern coast of Cuba, in the neighborhood of Santiago de Cuba, early in tha month of May, and, after running the Spanish gun- boat blockade no less than four diferent times she succeeded on the i7th day of May in making a landing, and while attempting to put ashore part of her cargo, which she now carries, she was pury sued and attacked about ten miles from Santiega by the Spanish gunboats Mosquito, Celaje and Clara; but, owing to her superior speed and favorea by darkness, she was enabled to get away tronr them, and headed for Kingston, Jamaica, where she subsequently arrived. It should here be men- tioned that the Edgar Stuart, in her hurry to escape from the Spaniards, left @ boat’s crew behind her on the Cuban shore, who had taken with thema number of hand grenades. DETAINED BY THE BRITISH AUTHORITIES. Upon her arrival at Jamaica the papers of the. Edgar Stuart were found irregular, and in spite of. the well known sympathy of the local government. of that city to the cause of Cuban independence the vessel was detained while an official investi- gation was held. Meanwhile the Spanish Consul at Jamaica was not idle, for he informed the authorities at Havana what was transpiring, the result of which was the appearance of a Spanish. man of war—the Francisco de Borgia—whick waited outside the harbor, with loaded guns, ready to sink the Edgar Stuart should she venture out of port. The British authorities, upon the termination of thé investigation, allowed the Edgar Stuart to proceed to sea, and she was convoyed out of port until all danger of pursuit from Spanish vessels had ceased. General Aguero made another attempt to land lis men and cargo in Cuba; but, finding the fates unpropitious, headed. for Aspinwall, where she was detained for irregu- larity of her papers by order of the United States: Consul. General Aguero then left her and came on; to New York to consult with the leaders of the, Cuban movement for independence as to the best manner to obtain the release of the vessel. After @ short stay in this city he returned by the steamer Henry Chauncey, and, alter much trouble, suc- ceeded in getting repossession of the vessel, and on the morning of Christmus Day sailed for Cuba, accompanied by his only son, Filiberto Aguero, aged eighteen, who bas already served four yeara in the Cuban liberating army. DESCRIPTION OF THE EDGAR STUART. This vessel was built for a steam yacht by Mr. Orison Blunt, at Guildford, ‘Conn., in 1860. She is 241% tons register, new measurement; has accommodation for forty-eight cabin pas- sengers, two large staterooms end a fine saloon, She averages eleven knots under steam, and can make fourteen knots with sail and steam combined. The following are ber principal dimen- sions :—Length, 142 feet; breadth of beam, 24 feet, and depth of hold 13 feet, She was engined at the. Washington Iron Works, at Newburg, and was surveyed by the United States Local Inspectors of Steamships on the 3d of April, 1870. THE MORAL RESULT OF THE EXPEDITION. Should the arms and ammunition be soom distributed among the Cuban patriots im the different parts of the eastern districts of Cuba it is possible that victories stmt. Jar to that at Holguin, and even greater, may soon . be expected, for the Cuban patriots are resolved, “to do or die.” The want of ammunition has: lately thrown great obstacies in their way, and has prevented their assuming the aggressive as oiten ag they would have wished. Itis not politic for the sake of the Cuban patriots to state where the Edgar Stuart effected her landing, for the news would be telegraphed to Havana, and within we hours Spanish war vessels would be seen cluster- ing around the spot, previous to disembarking their men for the purpose of securing the patriots munitions of THE HERALD I¥ CUBA. {From the Boston Express, Jan. 12.) ‘The New York HERALD was not satisfed in bring- American newspaper reader has been blinded about r, bat still @ reporter to Cub by tact drink and wear, and ony short of ammu' question éftime, Thursday's HBRALD contained a ing to the world’s gaze Dr. Livingstone after Eng- land gave him up for dead.
