A number of wo- men ahd childrea tttended the meeting. Rev. George Taylor, 0; the Willett street church, pre« sided. He said al. tle Protestant sects reverenced the Bible; the oppostion proceeded trom a foreign element. He was srry te be in a position of an- ®tagonism with his Githolic friends who opposed the Bible in the publicschools. He would not injure the Catholic Churchithough he would like to see it brought nearer to he present method of Protes- tant thought and Yorship. Rev. Samuel Alman said the Bible was te noblest embodiment of hu- man thought. A slimpse at the Holy Bible was enough to jell a child that it had done wrong. The opposition did not come irom Roman Catblics only, but also from a class of peo calied Tnternationalists, liberals, &c. They wrked hand in hand to destroy the Bivie.

A large number of Cuban refugees yesterday morning assembled at 59 West Twenty-fourth street for the purpose of considering sundry matters relating to their country and now assuming im- portance because of the change that has recently taken place in the government of Spain. C, Villaverde was called to the chair, and Mr. L. Xiqies acted as secretary. Without formality the latter gentieman introduced the following MANIFESTO; t do the Cuban patriots think of the last change of rm ot government in Spain? Will they now be lined’ to, treat with the Spanish Repubiic t Will lay down their arms provided ety guaranteed m and freedom to the slaves ?_Such Js the import of the questions that are put to exile Cubans by prominent persons, who sympathize warmly with the ingurrection- Ary movement commenced at Yara in 1868 To answer properly all these questions we must be permitted a few words of explanation. We will graploy the same words which a society of Ouban ladies did in a petition to the Congress of the Umted States asking for belligerent rights tor their coun- ry “It is nota passing seditious outburst, brought oie ep cass metives and taken up. by personal in- terest, that now exists in Cuba. It is neither a mob riot, impelled by evil passions and directed by foreign agents, as the Spanish partisans assert; but what is now g ot on im Cuba ts a popular revolution, political as well as social, long before prepared, which has undergone and actually is undergoing all the trials in wh ve ways been tested the will ofan oppressed eoPle, who etrik: and independenee. if there ned a system of Agvergment in which @ s0- Wha the more the’ to for liber: cial hristian and civil people, are entirely submitted to another distant and stron; people, onl be- cause the latter are the conquerors of the oil, and for this reasom Bave deprived them of all action hi Mah . the better to planaer them—shat is the system of go" = ment with which Cuba has been ruled for these three centuries past. New, then, against 20 bad, rapact and tyrannical a government the Cubams revolted as'@ ian on the ‘ober, 1868, rom that time, to this been gicrious and bloody, masmuch ards wilt not stop short f the entire subjugation of the country, and the Cubans will not stop Nghting until complete liberty and unconditional independence from Spain are achieved. Such and no others, trom the beginning, are, continue to be, and will be to the end the final purposes of the con- tending partics. And aiter four long years of a real, savage war—aiter the blood of the best ‘men of the lan has run like water on the battlefield, as well_as on the scaffold; aiter the country turned intoa oapert aiter tne Cuban family in a body have been ruined an dispersed throughout the world, will there be a possi- bility of any sort of arrangement with military monarchicalor republican Spain which might not start trom the fundamental principle, independence By no means, Had the men into whose hands have fallen by mere chance the reins of power in Spain shown a disposition betore this to be more liberal and tair towards Cuba; had they commenced the republican era by a direct abolition ot dlavery in the Antilles; were it possible, the existence in’Spain.of a government capable ot guaranteeing to the Cubans for alt time to come the quiet enjoyment of the rights and privileges to which they are entitled for their Progress, heroism and dignity a8 shown in theso four Yeas of war without, quarier—vet there would not room for any Kind of union between Cuba and Spain.” And there Is no room for uni the interest of both peontes is as much onpose ferenttherr geographical positions on the globe ; because It can never be identical with the policy which’ they will follow in their intercourse with the nations of the world because their destiny will perpetually revolve in a differ: ent orbit; because the onc has no need of the other to constitute themselves tree and seek liberty, throughout ‘the path of prouress and virtue; because it would be monstrous, the sort of sovereignty which Spain trom Europe endeavors to exercise here in America; be- cause to the latter in sense is it convenient that Spain should rule, even have influence on, the gov- ernment of the key of the Mexican Gulf; so ambitious a nation, bounded by old relations of friendship and similarity of institutions to the system of European States, and who, little by little, is shaking off strong prejudices hequited through many centuries of {erecious despotism aud religious intolerance; because it would be repugnant, and the former slave would always feel ashamed of the union with her master; becanse, in short, sooner or later would be reni asunder ties which reason, dignity, even convenience, certainly never can put to” gether, Then, there is no half-way measure for the question of Cuba with her former rulers. The Cubans ask nothing now of Spain, and they expect nothing trom her. And if, after four years of a crue! lating war, military and monarchical Spain has neither been able to con- quer the insurrection, nor have the purposes of the Cu- bans changed, republican Spain, who puts torth the same policy as her’ predecessors—who owes her existence to their usurpation and lives the lite of an exotic plant— must be weaker aifd more impotent. Such being the tase, the Cuban refugees residing in this city, believing that they faithfully mterpret. the feelings and ‘aims of their fellow citizens, both of those who are in exile or remain in Qua, cither fighting or ving in the towns oppressed by the enemy, send forth this thelr lorious 10th of has iS manifesto, to protest their ‘firm loyalty to the Republic proclaimed at aiinaro on | the 10th of April, 1569, and to re in the most are solemn and formal way that their purpose is immutable and finalin achieving their inde pendence from Spain, even at the risk of complete ruin tor the country an , death for every Cuban. This manifesto, numerously signed, met with umanimous approval, alter which the following resolutions were presented and carried without dissent: Resolved, That said manifesto be published in spanish and English and widely distributed, so that the feelings and views of the Cuban people on a question which may be of life or death to their own beloved country be thor- i} oughly known by the civilized worid. esolved, That a committee, composed of citizens— Pedro Pablo Barroto, Rafael Chenard and Secretary Xiques—sheuld take charge of the publication os said manifest; to Dass # copy ef it to our representatives in | this country, aswell asto the different clubs of Cuban refugees United States, in Nassau, Porto Plata, Jamaica, Mexico, and Cartagena, 8. A. The above-named committee then waited upon Mr. R. Cespedes, the Cuban diplomatic commis- sioner, at his residence, 406 West Twenty-third street, and read to him the above resolutiens and manifest, in the presence of several other Cuban rentlemen—Aguilera, Rosado, Aguilera, Jr., and . Cisneros—and each and every one of them warmly endorsed and applauded the movement. RECRUITS FOR CUBA. Wila Rumors from African Quarters in Georgia—Five Thousand Negroes Al- leged to Have Been Shipped to the An. tilles to Reinforce the Republican Regi- ments. CHATTANOOGA, GA., Feb. 24, 1873, The negroes here and at various other points of this State, of Alabama and Tennessee are greatly excited over current reports that allege the probable destination of large numbers of the able-bodied men of their race who have been sent off enveloped in a shroud of mystery. Latterly so-called labor agents have been actively engaged threughout this section hiring negroes ostensibly to werk on sugar plantations in Loui- siana and cotton plantations in Arkansas, It is estimated that over five thousand negroes have been transported away under the above aileged purpose; but, though some have been heard from, the great majority *have failed to communicate with their home friends and relatives, It now transpires from negro sources that the hiring agents are emissaries of the Cuban Repub- lic, and that the hired negroes have been clandes- tinely shipped to Cuba to fight the Spaniards, free their race and establish the independence of MUNICIPAL AFFAIRS.

PenR leted, will cost the. city over one hundred thousand dollars, and which, as competent mechanics say. ouKbt not, to coat over thikty- five or forty thousand dollars in atl; therefore, be it solved, That the continuance of the work on the armory over the Centre Market, under the present man- agement, be stopped, and a special committee of five, including three members of the Standing Committee on Armories and Drill Rooms, be appointed to investigate the same and to report atan early day whether or not fraudulent contracts had not been made and whether or not unjust charges had not been charged; ulso to inquire whether it would not be more profitable to the city or capnty to finis the work by contract given to the lowest er. Fa Supervisor CoorEr, Chairman of the Committee on Armories, explained that the work done on the armory referred to in Centre street had been done under the direction of the former Board, Since the ist of January no work had been done. It was quite true, as the Supervisor had said, that bills had been presented to the amount stated, but not one of them had been paid; neither would they be paid until they had been audited and found cor- rect. There was on the face of those bills an ap- pearance of fraud, and it would be the duty of tue committee to find that out, While he was ‘on that family, She was accounted a good servant, and aid her werk well. She had not been long in the family, and was uot on very intimate terms with the people im the house. On Wednesday she was taken aiek, and seemed. RAPIDLY TO BE SINKING, It does not appear that any doctor was called in to visit the woman, but on Thursday she was dead, at all events to Me. De Puy’s satisfaction, for on Friday morning, at an early hour, Coroner Young received a noiiiication at his residence that Carrie Johnson was dead and requesting him to come and make a post-mortem examination. A permit was thereupon granted, after he had made a succinct account of the apparent causes and circumstances of her death, to have the body removed to the M Mr. De Puy even then did not think it ne 'y to call in a physician, but went imme- diate.y to the station house with his pple and @ message was sent to the Warden of Bellevue Hoa- pital to send an ambulance to have THE BODY REMOVED from the house, ‘The most curious circumstance of ' the whole was that when Mr. de Puy had leit his house in the morning he had had the body laid out on the bed, tne hy supported by & pillow in the middle. When hie went home he re- marked that the girl’s head was leaning out of the bed towards the foor, But even this extraordi- narv incident for a corpse'does not seem to have awakened Mr. de. Puy’s suspicions, He simply thought that some curious person had gone into the room while he was away “and had in hath svi the body or examining it caused 4 change of posi tou, which accounted for the head drooping over in the manner he had found it. At about two o’cleck on Friday afternoon the dead wagon arrived to take the body Bvae The driver went up stairs and took hold of the body around the loins to load it on his back to take it to the wagon, when he exclaimed, “Why, this body is warm; I don’t believe she is dead.” ‘It may be-im- agined that this exclamation caused no smali sur- prise among the lookers-on, They began assuring the driver that he was utterly mistaken; and to prove what he had said the driver made them feel the stomach and the loins of the supposed corpse, which were yet byte sad so. Mr. De Puy, of course, was very much trightened and {m- mediatey je, ir. a SENT FOR A DOCTOR, and in the meantime the driver of the wagon pried open the teeth of the presumably dead woman and inserted some salt in her mouth, This had no immediate effect; but wheu the doctor arrived he subject he might mention that the atrention of the committee had been called to a riding school in ‘Thirteenth street used as an armory, where bills amounting to $12,000 for repairs were already sent in, which was a sum more than suflicient. to build the armory from the toundation to the roof. The matter was then referred to the Committee on Armories and Drill Rooms, THE FORTY-FOURTH STREET ARMORY. The special committee appointed pursuant to a resolution of the Board of Supervisors of the coun- ty of New York on the 6th day of January, 1873, *‘to imvestigate any and all charges that have been made or may be made in regard to the lease of Nilsson Hall, and all other leases of buildings in- tended for or used as armories and drill reoms, with power,” &c., do respectfully report as- to the lease of the building situate on the easterly side of Broadway, between Forty-fourth and Forty-fifth streets. The building was leased in pursuance of a resolution of the Board of Supervisors, passed Sep- tember 19, 1872, the lease to commence on the 18th day of October, 1872, at the annual rental of $24,000 per year and the taxes, bringing the rent up to abait twenty-eight thousand per year. These preinises, the committee thought, were too expen- sive for the use of the National Guard; but after a full investigation were convinced that there was no ern, and recommend that the county pay the ren’ The report was adopted and the Board adjourned, THE SALT WATER COMMITTEE, A Practicable Project by Mayor East- man, of Poughkeepsie, for Giving the City an Additional Water Supply. Another meeting of the committee of the Com- mon Council appointed to inquire into the prac- ¢dicability of utilizing salt water for the purpese of extinguishing fires and for other city purposes, was held yesterday. Mayor Eastman, of Pough- keepsie, appeared before the committee and pre- sented @ proposal, which he urged with great ability. It was as follows:—The location of a pomping station at Poughkeepsie to force fresh water to the reservoir at College Hill, which is 400 feet above the level of the Cro- ton reservoir; from thence the water will ran to Croton Lake. It was propesed then to bring the water down by an aqueduct, running by the side of the present aqueauct. From that aqueduct ten towns on the line of the Hudson River could be supplied with water, and those towns would, doubtless, be willing to contribute to the expense of the undertaking, As far as the expense was concerned, he said that Poughkeepsie was willing to give to New York all the tana it might require for & pumping station. The Supply, of water at the lace named was inexhaustible. There would be few engineering difficulties in the way of the pean posal being carried out, because there would be neither bridges nor grades tc be made. The committee regarded the proposal with con- siderable approval, and it is to be further consid- ered, assisted by the engineers of the Croton aque- duct, on Friday next, at eleven A. M. THE TAX REOEIPTS, From February 17 to February 22 the sum of $92,554 kas been received for taxes, and interest upon the same to the amount of $3,808 has also been received, making a total for the week of $96,362, THE CITY CHAMBERLAIN'S REPORT.

Property Valued at $6,000 Stolen. The safe of Mr. H.'Reinecke, jeweller, of No. 793 Broadway, Was broken open some time on Satur- day and property vained at $6,000 stolen. When the robbery was discovered information of the affair Was given to Captain Byrnes, of the Fifteenth precinct, and he went to examine the premises. He found that the -safe had been broken epen, and the thieves hed left a jimmy behind them. A singular feature of the case, and ene that puzzles | the police considerably was the proximity of the safe to the street door, It is not more than fifteen feet from that entrance, and the back is turned to- wargs that direction. Captain Byrnes questioned OfMicer Brennan, who was on that post on the night , of the robbery, and the officer satisfied him the front door of the congern had been tried eight times between the hours of twelve and six o'clock A. M., and found fastened, Captain Byrnes thinks the thieves entered the store during the day, and escaped after six o’clock in the morn- ing. He supposes the: had = keys with which they opened the doors, so that they were able to leave everything as if nothing had oc- curred. The safe bad a bar of iron across the front that must have been forced;away by a jack screw. After taking out the watches, diamonds and other property the thieves are fogecees to have gone to the rear of the store, which was ased as 4 work- | snop, and taken the goods eut of the boxes and packed them in bags for tranportation. That the robbers were intimately acquatuted with the posi- tion of affairs in the store the police are thoroughly satisied, A search is now being made to find them. FIRE IN WESTCHESTER COUNTY. Shortly after nine o’clock on Sunday evening a said that life was not quite extinct and thatit was yet possible tabring the woman to herself. He then applied the usual restoratives to restore animation ot the vital functions, and after some time his efforts were rewarded by seeing the girl come to herself and open her eyes, and, in a weak voice, ask questions of those about her. All this was of course done te the intense astonishment ot the persons gathered around the bed whereon she re- posed. They had all considered her so perfectt; dead that it was only out of deference to the posi- tiveness of the dead house k eeper that the phy- sician had been sent for, In the meantime Coroner Young and his deputy had gone to the Morgue to hold the inquest; but they, of course, FOUND NO BOBY there, and were shortly aiter informed of the par- ticulars. Coroner Young called at the house of Mr. De Puy, and saw the girl on Friday atternoon, She was there in a state of great weakness, but was already taking some nourishment. On Friday night she remained at Mr. De Puy’s house, and on Saturday afternoon got up out of bed, and, dress- ing herself, went ont of the house, took a Sixth avenue car and went upto the Colored Women’s Home in Thirty-third street, where she is remain- ing at present. It is said that the girl wus affected in the same dangerous way as that described some time ago, and came very NEAR BEING BURIED while In her state of syncope, She escaped even more narrowly than in the present instance, This case serves to Lilustrate the fact that “delays are not always dangerous,’ and that if the dead house maan had not happened to feel the warmth of the girl’s body as he took her up in his brutal way itis” Ran that she would have been effectually ‘liled atterwards, or at least so treated that her temporary state of suspended animation would have become chronic from want of being taken in time. Taken altogether it is one of the most sin- gular cases on record. ———_+++___ MARRIAGES AND DEATHS.
