OCTOBER 15, 1853. Since the date of this despatch matters certainly have tu4 improved. An interval or two of apparent melt, watt inn 'IAA indeed neenrred. Kennedy. the ommissary Judge td 1144. Ilavannalt, tvportetl, in Isis. to Lord l'altnerston. •• that the efforts of the British Government seemed to have been Attended With full sue. eess : in Cubit there was a decided evs.ithon 01 the slave trade. - Ifni the pros - Teti was soon darkened again. The trade has not only expanded to the dimensions we have stated alHtVe, but the evidence colleeted by kite committee b l ows how d ee p an d un iversal, both in the mother county' and the island itself, me the intluences and interests en• gaged in it. Spanish capital supplies the truffle ; persons of high—nay, the highest—authority in Madrid defile Large revenues from it. Many slave-ships, according to Mr. Kennedy, were known to belong to queen Uhristiiie: and a man named Parrjo, who dealt largely in slaves, Was almost avowedly her agent in Cuba. The vessels in which be was interested were known to be " ptivileged." There was influence en gh at headviarters, says the same witness, to stop one Uoventor.6 enure!, Muesli, in his endeavours to cheek the business, and to dismiss another, Concha, who persisted in that endeavour in spite of want. ing. The governors. however, rarely troubled the 'Madrid patrons of the trade to interfere in its behalf'. With scarcely an exeeption they all winked at the intportati •f slaves, provided they received their share in the shape of head-money from the importers. The only difference 114.- tween them seems to have been in the and of the bribe they exacted, which varied from a guinea per negro to four or five. Suboldinate functionaries itnitattsl their superiot s after their degrees in all respects. Offitial aid was also given to the traffickers by means of the mail-steamers, which, being ruined with a Goycruureut charter and IV COgnigt'll privileges of entry and derftliAlr at every port. furnished wimirable futilities for tnitisporting negro, , from the slave-ships to the selected points of debarka tion on the coast. Itribcry of eourse prevailed, and was required on every side. ltut the margin of profit on the business was ample for all demands. Negroes, it WAS 411(111MM, eunhl L.• lodged on board the slaver off the shores of Afriea at s cost of I. dollars a-pieeo : in tuba the selling price ranged b e tween auti ,no, ;pun such it commodity we Cali Well believe that " 1101. or 111/. spent in gratuities would 1144 be considered." Tracing this question of profit a little further, we find that the business of sugar-growing in tuba is so lucrative as literally to render money no object among the planters. Their establishments sold tinsel • .ry are upon use scale—the latter almost entirely made in England, and absorbing a large capital, and yielding 'stunts on a cor responding scale. Mr. Liggins, an exiwrieneeti London merchant, lOW visited COM last year, computed that the planters " got their sugar for nothing. The nun and mo lasses paid every expense, and the whole prt weeds of the sugar went to profit." The English market. furnished of course the principal outlet to the 'lnstinct, and the late rise in prices here had swelled to an unprecedented degree the reven RCS of Calm slave-owners awl sugar-growers. It is curious to find, as a result of British described by the same witness, that, while Jamaica has beeome practically a desert. there is nut a more prosperous country in the world than Cuba. Respecting the means of really extinguishing the hateful turd-. Captain Hamilton probably pointed colt the only certain and effeetnal step, in " a ilemonstiotion with half the squadron employed on the coast of Africa and Cuba of some Spani , li port, such as Barcelona or Cadiz." To this bold suggestion the committee do not allude in their report. They content themselves with citing from au old report of the Lords' Otmmittee on the subject an opinion that possibly "it was worthy consideration whether the three great maritime powers—England, Fratlee, and the United States--could not lie brought to combine in joint representations. or, if need be. more active measureq, for obtaining froui Spain an honest perbirmance of her slave trade treaties. THE COME r has created a sensation among the negro population of New Orleans. On one Saturday night about S(W) of them assembled on an open space, and, stretching forth their arms, commenced suiging. It turned out that a fanatical negro preacher had told his congregation that at eleven oclock on that night the comet world come in col lision with the earth and demolish it, but those who were found with their arms stretched to heaven, watching the coming of the catastrophe, and singing a hymn of welcome, were to be translated bodily into Paradise. In consequence the mob assembled. but the police made a descent on them, arrested sixty, and the rest fled. The prisoners were tined 5 dulls. each, or, in default, sentenced to fifteen lashes each. THE MAmuu 1 'lstvt:rtsm was opened on the Ist instant. The inaugural address IV fls pronounced by Senor Moulain, and was on the advantages of modern THE PRtSS. ourt anb lastion.
