By the Royal Mail steam-ship Asia, Captain Jud kins, we have advices from New York to the 10th i n st. She brings 200,0001. in specie. On the 10th the Asia passed a steamer, supposed to be the Washington, and on the 19th spoke the mail steamer Baltic. The United States mail-steamer Franklin arrived at New York from Havre on the Bth inst. The Asia has made rather a long passage, in con sequence of the dense fogs which have lately prevailed. The steamship Hermann, which is daily expected at Southampton, has 257,000 dollars on freight. By the Empire City, arrived at New York, we have advices from Havannah to the Ist inst. Certain particulars have been received of Lopez and his band. Havannah had been the scene of jubilee rejoicing for three days, owing to the cap ture of General Lopez and his forces. The news reached Havannah on the 30th ult. Lopez was taken in the interior wandering alone. Nearly ex hausted from fatigue and hunger, he asked for something to eat at a farmhouse, and permission to lie down. While asleep he wus bound and made prisoner. Of his followers 155 were to be sent to Spain for ten years' confinement. They say their sufferings before being taken were intense. For several days they lived on the leaves of trees, &c. The last meat they ate was the horse of General Lopez. They had no arms when taken. The remainder of the party have either been shot or perished from hunger. There are killed and wounded of the Spanish troops 2,000-1,500 killed and 500 wounded. In every engagement with Lopez the troops are said to have been routed with severe loss. General Enna, the bravest officer in the army, was shot while leading a charge at the head of a small squadron of cavalry. He was second in command to Concha. At that charge every man was shot down. The Spanish General said it was impossible to rally the troops to charge on the assailants. Lopez was " garroted " on Monday morning, the Ist of September. The scene of execution was at the Punta, opposite the Moro. There were assem bled from 8,000 to 10,000 troops and as many citizens. A few minutes before ten o'clock Lopez was brought forward and ascended the platform with a steady step ; facing the multitude he made a short speech, and his last words were—"l die for my beloved Cuba." He then took his seat, the machine was ad justed, at the first twist of the screw his head dropped forward, and he was dead. In no instance, the prisoners say, had the Creoles of the island manifested the least disposition to join then. The excitement in Havannah is fast subsiding since the annihilation of Lopez and his forces. The steam-ship Prometheus had arrived at New York from San Juan with dates from San Francisco to the Ist ult., and 350,000 dolls. on freight. The steam-ship Georgia had also arrived with 1,500,000 dolls. on freight, and 400,000 dolls. in the hands of passengers. The steam-ship Oregon, for Panama, had 1,800,000 dolls. on her freight list. Our advices state that Go vernor M'Dougal had issued a proclamation i❑ regard to the organization of Vigilance Committees in various portions of the State, discountenancing the formation of such bodies, and declaring his intention to enforce the execution of the laws. The accounts from the southern mines are satisfac ;ory, especially in regard to the quartz veins. The burnt district in San Francisco had been again covered with houses. Few stages of the conflagration remain in the lower part of the city, and the light wooden buildings that were destroyed had been re placed by substantial erections of brick. Later intelligence from Sacramento reports the slaughter of a large number of Indians at Pike River. From Kingston, Jamaica, we have advices to the 31st ult. Heavy rains had fallen. The cholera was still prevalent. The Royal mail steamer Conway left on the 29th for St. Thomas. Cavendish tobacco was dull at 100. per lb. We have accounts from Valparaiso to July the 25th. Her Majesty's ship Gordon was at that port on the 10th. A destructive storm occurred on the 7th, and some vessels were driven ashore, among them the English steamer Peru. This vessel also took fire, but after much exertion it was extinguished, and the goods and treasure saved. Business during the greater part of the month had been paralysed, and no transactions of moment, particularly in ma nufactured goods, had taken place. A few English vessels had been chartered for guano and saltpetre at 2/. ss. to a safe port for orders. Exchange on London, 4 to 5} for 60 days. In Bolivia, the decree allowing foreign goods to be entered at a lower duty from vessels which had not touched at other ports, bad been revoked. From Ecuador we hear of a revolution in favour of Urbina and the banishment of Nova. Honduras accounts of the 9th ult. mention that the long-expected floods had at length come down. Advices from the Sandwich islands to the 21st of June report limited business transactions. Immense damage both on sea and land appears to have been experienced from the hurricane which lately ravaged the West India Islands. We notice, among other wrecks, that of a Spanish man-of-war. She stranded off Apalachicola, and lost several of her crew. In the New York Stock market the tendency for non-dividend paying stock has been downwards. The arrival during the week of 2,500,000 dolls. from Ca lifornia has relieved the money market. Exchanges were dull. Sterling 9} to 10f. The Cotton market continued firm, with a further advance in prices of jc. per lb. on most grades. The demand for cotton fabrics continued steady. Woollens heavy. Flour and meal rather firmer. Wheat in request. Tobacco firm. Freights very dull. Advices from Valparaiso of the 25th of July an nounce the arrival at that port of the British mail steamer New Granada, Joy Commander, with 8,000,000 dolls. in silver bullion on freight.

The men were rescued, but they had sustained serious injury. The British brig William , from Liverpool, at San Francisco, was struc k with a heavy sea off Cape Horn, which compelled he r to put into Buena Ventura for re pairs, where she remained for three months. She was also compelled to put into Santa Barbara for provisions and water, the crew being laid up with NASSAU, N.P.,Ana. 20. The brig Science, of Liverpool, from Rio Hache, for Haraburgh, with a cargo of Nicaragua wood, was totally wrecked on the 11th ult., at Castle Island. The captain and crew arrived hero in the schooner Nancy. NEW YORK, SEPT. 10. A. full rigged brig, apparently in ballast, was seen ashore on the Ist inst., on the south-west part of Cutty Hunk. The Urgent ashore at Lymiaven Bay has been condemned. A barque under jury-mainmast was seen on the 7th inst. off the Capes of Delaware steering north east. A severe hurricane was experienced at Segue la Grande on the 20th ult. All the vessels dragged their anchors, but escaped without damage. A violent storm visited Turk's Islaud on the 19th and 20th ult. Several vessels arrived at Havannah with loss of spars, &c., in the hurricane of the 21st and 22d ult.; it appears by accounts received here that the hurricane which was felt at St. Thomas and St. Croix on the 18th ult. was felt off the Tortugas on the 21st and 22d, swept the coast thence to Now York, on the 24th, and from the northern coast of the United Stat es t o ok a south-easterly direction, and was finally experienced at Bermuda on the 26th ult. APALACHICOLA, SEPT. 21. The Joh n Briant, hence for Liver p ool, with 2,700 bales of cotton, is ashore high and dry in this bay. SOUTHAMPTON, SEPT. 21. By the Unit e d States mail steam - ship ll ermann , Captain J. D. Wilson, which left New York on the LONDON, 6th instant. and arrived off Cowes at 1 P.M., to-day, we ere in possession of accounts from Havannah to the Ist inst. inclusive. They announce the complete defeat of the expedi tion under General Lopez, who had been captured, brought to HavannaL, and garroted, while a number of his followers had perished, and the remainder were in the hands of the Spanish authorities awaiting sentence of death. The following is a detail of the news telegraphed to New York from New Orleans : " New Orleans, Sept. 4. " The steam-ship Cherokee, direct from Havannah, has arrived at her wharf. From passengers we learn of the complete failure and annihilation of the Lopez expedition in Cuba. " General Lopez was garroted in Havannah. Pas sengers who witnessed the execution state that he ended his life manfully. This mode of punishment is horrible. The victim is bound and an iron collar placed round his neck, which is gradually tightened by means of a screw till the sufferer ceases to exist. Previous to the death of General Lopez he declared that he had been greatly deceived in regard to pro mised aid in Cuba. " The failure of the expedition is attributed to the separation of Colonel Crittenden's command from the main body under General Lopez. " The patriots are stated to have deserted Lopez and fled to the mountains. " On the eve of the capture of Lopez he had but 30 remaining followers, and they finally deserted him in a wounded condition, so that he had not one remain ing friend. He wandered alone for some time, and was finally run down by bloodhounds. His last words were, Adieu, dear Cuba l' " The Spanish accounts state that, of the whole number of patriots landed by the Pampero, and from other quarters, 556 have already been killed, and 436 are now in prison. " We learn that Colonel Pragay, the gallant Hun garian and the friend of Kossuth, had been shot at Pagas. "A meeting of passengers was held on board the steamer Cherokee, at which General Lane, of Oregon, presided, and the following resolution was unani mously passed : " That Mr. Owen, the American consul at Ilavannab, has forfeited every right and title to be regarded as an American citizen; that he has outraged every sentiment of humanity, and deserves the execration of every friend of liberty.' " Another resolution requests his recal by the Ame rican Government." _ _ " New Orleans, Sept. 4. "A dispatch, dated Havannah, Ist inst., says that all who left in the Pampero have been either killed or made prisoners. " Lopez was arrested on the 29th ult., and taken to San Christoval. He arrived in Havannah on the 31st, and was garroted on the following morning (the Ist inst.) at seven o'clock. " 155 prisoners, mostly Americans, are in the pos session of Government, and it is said they have been sentenced to the chain gang for ten years. " The insurgents still hold the mountains near Principe. " Mr. Laborde, the Spanish Consul at New Or leans, arrived out at Havannah in the Empire City, and said that he should have been Lynched had he re mained at New Orleans." _ York a p e T d i h t i e opnr c ,e o sm ass menugp givens ntesn theoi f n the dtthe se e l ao e bu o d fiv i et n u g i rnet o e r ol g lfi a g n t eh s ne c o eL f , o t ap h r e e ez N y ee e rx w y. satisfactory, and tend in every way to discounte nance similar piratical attempts for the conquest of Cuba. The Courier and Enquirer on this subject says— " The tragedy is ended. The complication of faithlessness, lawlessness, and recklessness has reached its denouement. The hero has been bayed by blood hounds and strangled like a dog. Of the other actors, the nobler are sleeping abroad in bloody graves, the objects of melancholy pity ; the baser are cowering at home—living, indeed, but lost, beneath the overwhelming indignation of an undeceived people. The drama no longer exists but as a lesson and a memorial. The most intense excitement prevailed in our city yesterday upon the confirmation of the news of the complete failure and utter annihilation of the Lopez expedition. The conflicting accounts which each successive day brought from the theatre of operations had wrought the public interest to a high pitch, and the sudden revelation of the terrible t r u th could not but stir the deepest feeling. The disastrous result occasions no general regret. From the very outset sympathy with the object of the Cuban invaders has been confined to the least intelligent and substan tial portion of our population, and the final exposure of the falsehood and fraud of the whole plot has pretty effectually disposed of the little sympathy that actu ally did exist. A scheme of iniquity like this is not often attempted. Its projectors were generally men who were swayed by political or military ambition, or were pecuniarily interested in disturbing the peaceful relations of Cuba to its mother country. For more than two years they have made every effort to spread the belief that the people of Cuba were on the eve of revolt against their oppressors, and only desired a foreign nucleus around which to gather to rally at once in vindication of their rights. The lie was so far suc cessful that an expedition of several hundred men, 16 months ago, sailed from New Orleans and landed at Cardenas ; they were met with the universal hostility of the people and were obliged to flee in disgrace. The plotters, most of whom had taken good care to keep themselves out of harm's way, nothing abashed, con tinued their system of misrepresentation. Again and yet again they enlisted men and collected ammunition for another attempt, but were foiled by the interfer ence of our Government. A few weeks ago a petty movement was made by a few malcontents against the Cuban authorities. This was straightway seized upon and magnified a hundredfold, and with an adroitness that was only equalled by the unscrupulousness, was turned to such advantage that another expedition, made up of a heterogeneous medley of abandoned characters and gallant spirits, was quickly raised and openly dispatched. The invaders land, but discover when too late the foul deception practised upon them. Writes one, the hour before he was shot at Ha vannah, Deceived by false visions, I embarked in this expedition for Cuba.' Writes another, on the same trying occasion, Lopez, the scoundrel, has deceived us • there is no doubt that a ll t hese re ports about the dubans rising were trumped up in New Orleans.' Lopez himself, at the point of death, de clared that he too had been deceived. In fact, it was all one mighty piece of deception. We have said this from the beginning ; many of our most respected cotemporaries have so said; and we and they have thereby incurred the unmeasured denunciation and abuse of presses and assemblages that were weak enough or base enough to lend themselves to the fur therance of the fraud. Let our adversaries look to it well. The lifeblood of hundreds of deceived men has been shed. The souls of hundreds of mothers, widows, and orphans have been harrowed with anguish. Who is responsible for this ? Again we ask, who is responsible ? This delusion has now, we trust, lost all power of further mischief. The occu pation of these Cuban agitators, we believe, has gone for ever. Cuba has unmistakeably shown that, de graded as Spanish oppression has made her, she has still the spirit to spurn foreign invasion, though not the spirit to strike for her freedom. Americans of every party and class, we doubt not, will now be satis fied to leave her as she is." The Neu. York Herald writes as follows : "We received by telegraph, yesterday, from New Orleans a dispatch concerning Cuban affairs, which is of the same bloody character as that which we pub lished a short time since concerning the fate of Colonel Crittenden and his companions in arms. We gave it to the public yesterday, and, as might have been ex pected, it created a tremendous excitement through out the city. We learn by this news that the ill starred and unfortunate expedition that embarked in the Pampero, under the command of General Lopez, has been a failure—that it has been annihilated by the Spanish forces—and that General Lopez, its leader, has been garroted in Havannab. Various rea sons are given for the failure of this attempt to revolu tionise the island of Cuba, but none of them, in our Batpiptrwoaacshcathuesedtrbuytht.he I s te separation a s t a i said, on o o f n the Colonelon e en's command from the main of the in h°vCPaarindintedtir°e'snnt;ha' and on the other, that he was desertd by the l r e e a d r n f r w o m e are a m i s c t l a i k n e e n d e oc c c a u n r t patriots o h e lie v . e t;Fromat theal l failfailurethat d th e e pen re d p e o n r c t e s u th p a o t n h th av e e Cnroemolees.to to u t d wi e t o h n s e t e a r n n d i i n n g g t a h l e l disaffection of that class of people of Cuba towards the Government, and of their readiness to join an invading party from the United States, all the cir cumstances connected with this unfortunate expedi tion, show that the Creoles are either or lo tyal they are and do not wish to be independent of Sp ain, so cowardly that when the tim e arrived for striking a hat blow for independence, they could not summon courage enough to take part in it. According to the accounts which have come to hand, even Lopez himself, who was the head and front of the invasion, was deceived in regard to the temper of the Creoles. It is not to be supposed yenr rsod,e te,tethat t evh h t es a dn t af. 1 inu he eNt vn would :heeaaahvaa drenlael vdp i de n aat sho c ant tnunehy:rxe concerningh—si feuisuchagtcheyhhet, sounding then, ar calculations—as, hu s nd k ei tnbt a poighe s ose eftnor h o sperr e e_pleege d oa r:dr i d if he did not think he would be joined on his arrival h by a large portion of the people. The result shows, ligotts w hfoi h oawch i t c les h vul were published from day to day in the Fiiii i- n in e ts s r a o n o d rg w an il s li f u o g r willingness to engage in an effort to make their island independent of Spain, as 'rsoon as aid was received from the United States—few or none of them joined the revolutionary flag when it was raised in their midst, and that these who went thither from this country had to depend entirely upon their own resources. Such a reception to a liberating army, as I the expedition under Lopez was • termed, will, it is MONDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 22, hoped, satisfy the ardent young men of our Lind that no faith is to be placed in tau reports so current here, that the Cuban people needed but a few brave spirits to show thcns the w•ay to independence and they would follow it. There is a moral to be drawn from this sad business, which we hope will not be without effect. If the Cuban people wish for liberty, let them fight for it ; and if they do not wish for it, let them remain as they are. If they are satisfied with their condition, it is the height of folly and rashness to at tempt to force liberty on dem ; if they are content to remain as they are, why should our citizens trouble themselves about enlightening them respecting the real rights of freemen ? The American blood that has been shed will, however, produce its fruits. It will induce the Creole mild to think and reflect, and the result will be, at some time or other, a determina tion to be free. But this will not be the only effect that it will have. If the cuestion of the annexation of Cuba should be thrown into our presidential elec tion next year, as it may be, and if the party who espouses it should become dominant, the question will assume a new and more important shape and be solved in a very short time. Meanwhile it is to be hoped that no more of our ardent youths will allow themselves to be carried away by rumours or re ports about the disloyalty of the Creoles. Their loyalty has been tested at a great sacrifice, and it is evident they prefer the existing state of things to a change, or that they have not soul enough to make an effort for their own redemrtion." In the Tribune we find the following : " There is no longer a doubt that Lopez is utterly defeated and executed, and that his brave, deluded followers have all perished or are now in chains. A very few may be still hiding in the mountains and forests, but they must be few indeed, with a despe rate chance of ever regaining their own country. The discomfiture of the expedition is complete. That the number of the killed and the prisoners is exaggerated by the Spanish bulletins we confidently believe. It seems certai❑ that Lopez was not joined by any con siderable number of Cubans, and we think his whole force could not have exceeded 600 combatants. Of these, probably, one-half were dead and the residue prisoners (mainly wounded) at the date of our last advices. Would that we could hope that the lives of these prisoners are to be spared! While Lopez was in arms on the island and his success not impossible, severity might be palliated; but the necessity has vanished with the peril. These misled, perhaps cul pable, but brave and utfortunate, prisoners have suffered all but death. Surely this last drop may be spared them. In the name of humanity, and even of wise policy, we would intreat the saving of their lives ; and yet we fear the worst. Probably they have not been able to hold prisoners if they took any ; and if they were ccmpelled to execute them, however stern the necessity, a bloody retaliation is certain. The Spaniards are not a merciful race, and the news of the disgraceful barbarian out rages perpetrated on their consul and other Spanish subjects by the miscreant mob of New Orleans will have exasperated them to madness. It will be hard if our unhappy countrymen, deluded into this invading expedition, should be called to suffer for that cowardly outrage ; yet so it may be. Surely, it must now be evident that the Cuban Creoles do not desire indepen dence enought to fight for it; and if not, why should others risk their lives in the cause ? If the Cubans, who have been promising to co-operate with Lopez, had possessed one spark of generous feeling, they would have redeemed their promises, even in the face of certain death. They bad no right to draw back when our confiding countrymen had thrown their lives into the contest. Every ' patriot Cuban should at least have mitigated the bitterness of the deathbeds of these devoted men by dying with them. If the in vaders could have felt that they had sacrificed them selves for men worthy of the offering they might have closed their eyes serenely and joyfully. That conso lation was denied them. Who will henceforth court their fate P Let us have no more annexations by vio lence. If Cuba belong to us (as we think she does not), she will come to us in good time. Peace hath her victories not less renowned than war.' The growth of our country is abundantly rapid, and needs no bloody rain to stimulate it. Let the terrible lesson just taught our people be duly weighed and heeded." The proper officers of the several districts being thus instructed in their duties and supplied with the means of fulfilment, will be held responsible for the depar ture of every other expedition, and for the failure to seize any vessel and arrest her crew which they may suffer to escape from their particular districts. These measures of precaution are deemed absolutely neces sary to vindicate the national character and perform a national duty imposed by the people upon the Executive in the passage of the statute already men tioned, which, though passed more than thirty years ago, has frequently undergone the revision of Con gress, but only to makQ more obligatory and effectual." A telegraphic dispatch from Washington contains the subjoined information : " The Secretary of the Treasury yesterday received a dispatch from the Collector at New Orleans, stating that 2,000 men were waiting there ready to embark for Cuba. The Collector was informed in reply that should these men debark in Cuba certain officers of the United States would be held responsible. The Cuba meeting here last night was largely attended. General .111‘Calla presided. The resolutions adopted were moderate in tone, end the speakers very tempe rate in their addresses." COMMERCE and RESOURCES of CUBA. The interest excited by the present position of Cuba causes an inquiry for statistics regarding the actual condition of the commerce and resources of that island. The information available, however, is rather limited. In the Diario de la Marina of Havannah, some time back, tables were published showing the imports, exports, and revenue fur the twenty years from 1828 to 1847, and these appear to be within a year of the latest that have been received in this country. The results which they furnish, when con densed into average totals for intervals of five years, are as follow : Average per annum. The Journal of Commerce says— " The information brought to New Orleans by the steamer Cherokee leaves no doubt that the small but heroic band under Lopez, who recently invaded the island of Cuba, have been annihilated after maintaining themselves against fearful odds for many days. It is distinctly stated that Lopez had been garroted at Ha vannah, having been captured by the aid of blood hounds. Colonel Pragay is also announced as among the slain, and, in fact, the whole column, comprising (including Colonel Crittenden's command) about 450 men, is believed to be destroyed, with the exception, perhaps, of a few individuals who may have escaped to the mountains. But in the end their fate will be the same. We have not yet received the full details of the achievements of these men, but there is every reason to believe that they fought desperately, and killed great numbers of the Spanish troops, including General Enna, second in command to the Captain- General of the island. If they landed on the evening of the 1 1 th, as appears to have been the fact, they con tinued to resist or to elude the large bodies of troops who were sent against them for 12 or 15 days. Be sides the battle of Pozas on the 13th, in which the Spanish troops were twice beaten back with loss, there was another engagement on the 17th, which appears to have been severe, and the precise results of which have not yet reached us. It was in this en gagement, probably, that Enna fell. The telegraphic dispatches before alluded to speak of a much larger number of men having been killed or captured than belonged to Lopez when be landed. If those dispatches are correct, it follows that other parties besides those that accompanied him in the Pampero effected a junction with him afterwards (which we do not believe), or else that be was joined by 500 or GOO Cubans, which is not very improbable. Now that Lopez and nearly all his expedition, including many brave officers and men, are dead, we hope it may not be necessary to advise others not to rush into the jaws of perdition. All who go to Cuba in little squads, with arms in their bands, will inevitably perish ; and what is worse, the sacrifice will do no good either to themselves or others. On the other hand, it will carry sorrow into many families and hearts. Stay at home, then, boys, as you love your own lives and the lives of others." The Tribune announces the abandonment of further attempts as follows : " We learn that two steamers were nearly bargained for to sail for Cuba when the disastrous news received yesterday noon indefinitely postponed the enterprise. One of the ships was the El Dorado, for which 90,000 dolls. had been offered, and 70,000 dolls, had been offered for another. Both vessels were to have sailed within a few days with as many passengers' as they could carry, unarmed of course, and in a condi tion to prevent any probability of seizure. Within a few days two brigs have sailed from this port for Cuba, but ostensibly cleared for ports in the Gulf. Both these vessels were laden with arms, ammunition, and provisions for the use of the Lopez party in Cuba. There was no excitement in town last night; the disastrous failure of the liberating army, and the sad fate of the deceived soldiers, was — a general topic of conversation, but their fate was named rather in grief than in rage. The mushroom patriots who were so eager to help Lopez while his star was in the ascend and are now nowhere to be seen." _ The Washington Republic states, in reference to ;he action of the Central Government, that " Whatever may be the present state or future result of this contest, we are quite sure that the President and his Administration have been wanting in no duty in endeavouring to maintain the law of the land, and at the same time our treaty stipulations and neutral obligations. As early as the first re-agi tation of this subject, in April last, at the time when the steamer Cleopatra was seized in the port of New York and her captain and others arrested under the Act of 1818, the President issued his proclamation of warning against any such enterprise, and instruc tions were issued to the collectors, district attorneys, and marshals in all sections in which it was supposed that project might be favoured, enjoining activity and energy in the enforcement of our neutrality law so far as depended on them ; and orders were given to employ the land and naval forces of the United States to co-operate in the same object. From the reports received from many of these officers there is no doubt that the instructions of the Govern ment had their desired effect. We regret to state, as an exception to this general attention to duty, the case of the collector of New Orleans, by whose neg ligence the Pampero was permitted to depart from that port without clearance or papers—a fatal act of omission, which has since involved so many mis guided but gallant young men in destruction, and clad so many American families in mourning. Upon investigation of the conduct of this officer, and per ceiving that this vessel was allowed to depart, not withstanding a direct call upon him by General Twiggs to do his duty, in obedience to his orders, and offering to furnish the requisite force from his command in the vicinity to make his interference ef fectual, the President has felt it his imperative duty promptly to remove the collector from office. He has also caused circulars to be again addressed to the district attorneys, marshals, and collectors in the dis tricts above referred to, requiring the immediate pre sence of each one at his post, with stringent orders to exercise the utmost degree of vigilance and energy in the execution of the law of 1818 ; and he has, moreover, issued special commissions to trusty indi viduals i n various quarters, empowering them to employ th United e land and naval forces and the m iliti a of the Stat , es ' for the purpose of preventing the c ar ry ing on of any military exp edi tion against the teal tories of any power with whom the United Stat es are at peace.' Corresponding. directions have been g i ve n to officers in command of military posts, and of the navy, ' and all vessels of thenavywithin convenient cora i ' wand have been placed in requisition for this service. 1851. THE GREAT EXHIBITION On Saturday the receipts amounted to 1,6041. 135., the number of visitors being 17,366. The shorten ing days abridge gradually the time during which the building remains open, and now, instead of closing at six o'clock, spectators are rung out ten minutes before sunset. COURT CIRCULAR. BALMORAL, FRIDAY. Her Majesty, accompanied by the Prince of Wales and the Princess Royal, went out riding yes terday. His Royal Highness Prince Albert went out deer stalking. The dinner party yesterday included her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent, Baroness Spaeth, the Right Hon. Fox Maule, and Sir Edwin Landseer. SATURDAY. Her Majesty, his Royal Highness Prince Albert, the Prince of Wales, and the Princess Royal went yesterday to the top of Loch• na-gar, where the Royal party had luncheon. The Marchioness of Douro was in attendance on her Majesty. Sir Edwin Landseer left Balmoral yesterday for Lagganauld. HER MAJESTY'S VISIT TO LIVERPOOL. The preparations for a fitting and loyal reception of her Majesty have rapidly proceeded during the pest week, and we are now enabled to present a more definite indication of the route which the royal cortege will take. An official letter having been forwarded to Balmoral, together with a map of the town, re questing to be made acquainted with her Majesty's wishes, on Tuesday an answer was received from Colonel Phipps, conveying her Majesty's gracious acquiescence in the whole of the suggestions, The ...._ f o l ,f l o h w e i following a a r y o e r a a r n r a d n c g o e u m h e e n w i I t : wi t i t h h t h respect t 0 00 e r c pora t t e h route officials, ffie ials : will meet her Majesty at the boundaries of the borough. In coming from Croxteth her Majesty will pass the Zoological Gardens, then proceed down Brunswick-road, along Moss-street, Daulby-street, into Brownlow-street, up Brownlow-hill into Mount pleasant, cross into Hope-street, down Hardman street, Leece-street, Bold-street, Church-street, Lord-street, James-street, along the Goree-piazzas, over the bridge at the north end of the George ' s Dock, to the landing stage, where she will embark on board her yacht the Fairy at eleven o'clock. On landing from her yacht her Majesty will proceed over the same bridge, along the Goree, Strand-street, round to the south front of the Custom house, passing the Sailors' Home ; thence up South Castle-street, along Lord -street, Church-street, Parker•street, Lime-street, to the east front of St. George's-hall, and, without alighting from her car riage, pass down St. John's-lane, up Manchester street, and Dale-street, to the Town-hall. On pro ceeding from the Town-hall to the railway station, her Majesty will pass along Dale-street, Manchester street, St. John's-lane, to the north end of St. George's-hall, where she will probably alight for the purpose of privately inspecting the building ; after which she will proceed to the railway station, en route to Worsley-hall. To this arrangement considerable objection has been made, and it would, of course, be quite impossible to please all parties. Castle-street should certainly have been included in the route, as ... 1 Up3OU it is one of the finest thoroughfares in the town, and ... ... ... 28,590 affords a better a pp roach to the Town-hall than Dale ::: ::: ::: ... ' 22.8,718 street, through which the Royal party will pass '37 twice. It has been suggested to us that the route should be extended further along Hope-street, so as ••• ••• ••• to pass the Unitarian Chapel, and obtain a view of ..• ••• ..• ,000 Gambier-terrace, and, passing down Sandon-terrace, ••• ••• 228,726 have a full view of our noble cemetery, and then turn ... ... ... 656,491 along Rodney-street, as far as Leece-street, and 975,630 thereby give a view of part of one of our best streets, .Q 0 Rodney-street, instead of only, • crossing it, as at pre sent intended. The dock committee have been busily engaged in making the arrangements connected with the excur sion on the river. On Tuesday the members of the committee made a voyage of exploration, in order to determine the best course to be taken by the Royal party, and acquaint themselves with particulars which would enable them to make the most desirable ar rangement with regard to the river. They went over the course which it was proposed her Majesty should take, and ascertained that it could be done in the spe cified time. That course, so far as at present deter ... 1,61' mined , wi ll be as follows :—The ro y al y acht, to g ether ... 670 .., with two steamers, containing the council and the 85 members of the dock committee, will proceed in the ••• ••• first instance to the extremity of the new North Docks, keeping on the passage close to the Prince's ••• ••• ••• and other pierheads, which will of course be crowded with spectators. The yacht will then be steered to• wards the Rock Lighthouse, and will proceed up the 4 Cheshire coast almost as far as Eastham, when the river will be again recrossed, and the yacht, with two 4 6 ... 6 accompanying steamers, will come down leisurely 2 by the Lancashire side to the landing-stage, where 1 ..• 1 the disembarkation will be effected, the total dis - --- tance to be traversed being nearly ten miles. The City of Dublin Steam-packet company, and Messrs. Mqver have each offered gratuitously one of their fine steamers for the use of the corporate and dock authorities, and both offers, we learn, have been gratefully accepted. No other vessel, we believe, will be allowed to steam after the yacht ' • but any number of craft will be allowed, with flags flying, to cast anchor near to the royal route, as now indicated, and the decks, rigging, with every mast and spar, will, of course, be lively with spectators. It has been in contemplation to provide seats on the landing stage to accommodate some 3,000 persons. The benches or forms would be raised one above the other ; and this would constitute the most pleasing situation through which the royal cortege could be viewed. The various ferry steamers will land and take in their passengers, temporarily, at the Prince's-pier. Vari ous suggestions have been made as to providing ac commodation for spectators on the Prince's-parade, and other sites from which a view of the proceedings may be obtained ; an aquatic procession, which would give increased effect to the interest and splendour of the file, has also been mentioned ; but as yet the committee have not come to any decision upon these matters, nor upon the arrangements generally. The Town-hall will in every respect be rendered worthy of the royal visit. A carpet of velvet will be laid from the front entrance, up the grand staircase, and to the great ballroom. A magnificent throne will be erected for the Queen under the orchestra; and around the sides of the room are to be arranged tiers of seats for the accommodation of ladies and friends of the members of the council, who, it is un derstood, are to be allowed a certain number of privi lege tickets. Five each was thought of ; but, as the accommodation when measured proved less than sup posed, that number will be limited to three. The address will be presented by the Recorder, who will be accompanied by the Mayor, the Town-clerk, and the members of the Council. It has been decided to admit the public by tickets (issued to the members of the Council, the proprietors, subscribers, and tenants) to the area of the Exchange itself, which will easily accommodate, standing, about 8,000 persons. The entrances from Water-street and Dale-street will be barricaded, second admission afforded by the g bomu at ie e ld s di a nt t o the north, west, and east, or by doors placed in the barricades, as may hereafter be determined.

Machinery for plantations ... 55,000 The exportations, which, with the exception of two articles, are specified in quantities, and not according to value, were as follow : Aguardiente, pipes 16,339 Cotton, lbs , 28,590 Sugar, boxes ... 1,228,718 Coffee, arrobas ... 694,137 Wax , 50,110 Wood, value . £70,000 Honey, value ... £ll,OOO Molasses, hhds 228,726 Copper ore, cwts.... , 656,491 Tobacco in bales, lbs. ... ... 6,275,630 Ditto in cigars, thousands 101,480 For some time the cultivation of coffee has been gradually abandoned, while that of sugar and tobacco bas greatly augmented. In 1842 the exportation of sugar was 817,000 boxes, and in 1848 it was 1,228,718. Tobacco, also, in the five years from 1842 to 1847, increased from 5,940,0001b5. to 9,309,0001b5., although the quantity in 1848, owing to a deficient crop, was only 6,275,6301b5. The number of vessels entered and cleared in 1848 were respectively 3,548 and 2,949, and belonged to the following countries : Vessels. Spanish ... American ... English Entries. Clearances. ... 875 ... 747 ... 1,733 ... 1,611 ... 670 ... 348 French 85 ... 63 Germ an 72 ... 69 Danish ... 20 21 Dutch •• 21 ... 18 Belgian ... . 23 ... 23 Spanish-American ~. 15 ... 14 Swedish ... 16 ... 18 Russian ... 7 ... 4 Prussian ... 4 Sardinian ... •, 6 ... 6 Brazilian 2 Chinese ... 1 ... 1 The aggregate tonnage of the above vessels was 728,285 tons, of which 201,622 were Spanish, and 526,663 foreign. The public revenue in 1848 was 2,600,0001., of which 1,380,0001. was from customs duties and 1,220,0001. from internal taxes. Of the exports of 1848 there was taken by Spain about 28 per cent., by America 27 per cent., by England 19} per cent., and by other countries 25} per cent. Of the imports, about 15 per cent. were from Spain, 32 per cent. from America, 27 per cent. from England, and 26 per cent. from other countries. About two thirds of the entire trade of the island are carried on at Ilavannah. There are fourteen other ports, but none of much importance, except St. Jago and Ma tanzas. The duties on all foreign imported articles were increased 4 per cent. on the Ist March last, and are now understood to amount to 35i per cent. The export duties were also increased on the Ist of Ja nuary last, and are now 87ic. per bax on sugar, and 75c. per thousand on cigars. The duties on imports from the mother country were at the same time raised. With regard to the means of internal intercourse, it appears that there are four steamers on the north side of the island, which maintain an almost daily communication between liavannila, Matanzas, Car denas, and El Jucaro, and once a week one of them extends its trip to Sierra Morena and Sagua Is Grande, while another visits Cabanas and Bahia Honda. On the south side two boats periodically leave Batabano for St. Jago de Cuba, calling at the intermediate ports ; and another leaves for the Vuelta de Abaja, to the westward of Batabano The rail roads constructed in the island at the beginning of 1 849 reached a total of 256 miles. These were— Ilavannah to Guinea, mires constructed ... 88 Branch to Batabano, ditto ... 11 19 San Antall°, ditto 8 „ Cardona, ditto ... 29 If Jucaro s siith two branches, do. 35 Matanzas to Sabanira, ditto ... 28 Coliseo, ditto... ••• ... 24 Neuvitas to Puerto Frincipe, ditto... ... 24 St Jago de Cuba to the Copper Mines, ditto In addition to the above there were also lines in progress from Remedios to Caibarien, from Cienfue gos to Villa Clara, and from San Antonio to Guanaj ay. Most of the roads pass through the principal sugar districts, and their avenues are chiefly derived from the transportation of produce. They are stated to have yielded a good return for the outlay incurred, and this has led to their extension.—Liverpool Mercury. to the call of the inngistrates on a less interesting ea, casion in 1845." This, it is considered, would be a fair test of those intrusted with the duties of the re sponsible office. The council, are, we understand. open to receive applications fr o m persons desirous of erecting stages, platforms, and the like, on property belong to the town which may be unoccupied, and the use of which they will grant to proper persons free of charge. A meeting of the general committee vas held on Saturday, at which several points were de cided. The front of the Town-hall is to be Ulund i nated with a novel and beautiful device by Mr. Alfred King, engineer of the gasworks. The question of a general illumination has been considered, and is left to the taste and discretion of the inhabitants. The theatres will not be opened by the authorities to the public, but the Zoological prdens will be thrown open for the admission by ticket to 6,400 persons, 100 tickets being placed at the disposal of each member of the council. The gardens are to be illuminated, and a display of fire works with emblematical devices and trunsparencees will be exhibited, and entertainments added such as are given by Mr. Atkins en gala nights. Two otl.er displays of fireworks will be made, one at the north find the other at the south end of the town. 'The enclosed space in front of the St. George's-hall v+ ill be appropriated to the children of the various charity schools, upwards of 24,000 in number, and a sum of money will be placed at the disposal of the manager of each of the schools to be appropriated for a treat to the children. The preparations at Croxteth for the . reception of her Majesty are progressing with all possible dispatch. It is understood that a tent will be erected in the park, near the south-east entrance to the hall, in order to entertain the tenants of the Earl, who will, it is supposed, number about .500. It is in contemplation to erect a triumphal arch at the bottom of Brunswick-road, at the entrance of the town. A DESCRIPTIVE GUIDE to CREMORNE. Under the above title a little brochure has been is sued by Mr. Sirnpson, giving a very well-written de scription of the celebrated gardens of Cremorne, to which are appended some of the deservedly favourable notices which have appeared in the columns of the metropolitan press dining the expiring season. The first copies were presented by the excellent proprietor to a select party of friends, who partook of bis hospi• tality on Saturday evening, when a splendid dinner evinced that the host of the Alb: on is fully determined to maintain his :supremacy as English chef de cuisine as well as the manager and dioector of al fresco entertainments. The celebrated turb)t which sig nalised the opening banquet in May last was rivalled in its attractions on Saturday by perhaps the most superb haunch that ever was supplied by Gs'oves, and the costly variety of the dessert was the tlotne of universal admiration. The directorship of 11r. Simpson has been eminently fortunate throughout the season, and his success is a gratifying proof of the results that await a felicitous combination of energy, perseverance, taste, and liberality. Ills outlay mint have been i mmen se, but the extraordinary popularity of the concern has brought him in we doubt not golden harvest. The great secret of that Po pularity consists i n th e s i n gular combination of multifarions attractions without a single draw back on the score of eith er mono t on y, indecorum, or humbug, which makes so f avoura bl e an i m p r ession on the Cremorne visitor for the first time, that he is sure to find himself repeating the excursion to its glitter. ing bowers ere many evenings are su ff ere d to e l apse . And it is merely justice to Mr. Simp son t o say , t h a t no inconsiderable portion of the charm is derived front his exceeding attention and courtesy, as well as his vigilant superintendence, qualities in the exercise of which he is admirably seconded by his efficient aide de-camp, Mr. Adams. Suaviter in modo, fortiter in re, is his appropriate moto, and the respect and sup port of the public his just reward. We would, in conclusion, draw attention to the fact, that notwith standing the numerous balloon ascents which have taken place this summer from the Cremorne-gardens, no accident has occurred in a single instance, which must certainly in some measure be attributed to the active carefulness of a manager who is not too lazy or incompetent to see with his own eyes that every detail of preparation is properly and securely made. His zealous attention to the proper working of every feature of the establishment is one of the brightest leaves among the laurels which Mr. Simpson hail gathered in the fairy groves and halls of Cremorne. " Ho won them well, and may be wear them long." ROYAL LONDON YACHT CLUB. The sailing season on the Thames was wound up on Saturday by the contest among yachts of this highly respectable and rapidly improving club for the Grand Challenge Cup, presented in 1850 by the Rear-Com modore Mr. G. Browne, to be won two consecutive year; by the same yacht, to become the permanent property of her owner, to which v. - as added a presentation purse of 20 guineas by the Club. The following had been entered:— The Mouse l5 tons, Mr. G. Browne. Phantom Whisper l9 tons, Mr. T. Evoleigh. The extraordinary sailing of the two last of these 14 the grand match for the Royal Thames Yacht Club claret jug this season, added to the circumstance of its being reperted that the Mouse was getting in fine trim, rendered the present match of a very interesting cha racter, and a more exciting or beautiful race, from the moment of starting to the period of coming in, wt,e never witnessed; it was replete with variety and nautical skill, and imparted the greatest gratification to every beholder. As it was not contemplated that at this late period of the season it would be necessary to afford accommoda tion for a large party of visitors, the committee merely chartered a small boat called the Red Rover for the con veyance of the officers and a few members of the Club; but the fineness of the weather induced many ladies re lated to members to participate in the day's amusement. The yachtsmen and their friends, too, mustered in full force, there being a fine fleet of boats accompanying the race, among which we observed Mr. Goodson's Avatar, Mr. Genstom's Paragon, the Volanto, Prima Donne, Frolic, Waterwitch, Transit, and Guerilla, in the first of which there were also several ladies. It was, as usual, a time race, half a minute per ton being allowed by the larger to the smaller craft, and the course from Erith to Shellhaven and back, a distance of nearly fifty miles; and so evenly were the boats con. sidered to be matched that the best judges of such mat. ters were afraid to back their opinions to any considera• ble amount. There was a fine blowing breeze from the N.N.E.„ and at half-past eleven Mr. J. Goodson, the'commodore having visited the boats at their stations and ascer t a i ne d that the crews were all in readiness, preparations were made to commence the mateh. The start took place at 11hrs. 47min. 45sec. All canted round at the same moment, but the Whisper was first in trim and well under weigh, followed by the Phan tom, which was, however, some time getting its topsail set; and the Mouse, more fortunate in that respect, drew by her, but was too leeward. The advantage was, however, scarcely more than momentary, the Phan tom going to windward to her. In this order they con tinued to St. Clement's, where it became necessary to make aboard. Here the Phantom began to draw upon the Whisper, and some skilful manecuvring occurred be tween the riv a l capta i ns, and t h e Phantom getting the weather gauge took a slight lead; but her powerful opponent was not so easily to be got rid of, and a fine contest, exhibitin g on both sides the perfection of nautical skill, was continued all the way dow n . A s th e wind h a d eas twarded cons iderab ly . they had fro m th e Lower Hope their work to do in beating against the tide, and a further opportunity was afforded for the de velopment of the science of sailing, but it is to be re gretted that the Mouse was, about the commencement of the sharpest point of the work, when her powers might have been best tested, " put upon the shelf," by running hard and fast aground on the Kent shore, where she re mained until the tide did her good service by washing her off. The Mouse at the time of this mishap was only a short distance ast ern o f t h e ot h er two, and the result of th e i r struggle at th e moment was t h e success o f t h e Whisper, which again went into the first place. The rivals now separated as it were by mutual consent—the Phantom working the north shore, the Whisper the other, the latter's a course considered by some of the nautical men present injudicious, especially with a young flood coming up upon them. The result was that on nearing the station-boat the Phantom kept . her reach, but the Whisper had to make a tack to bring her to windward, but she rounded very prettily. The boats turned as follows: h. m. s. ... 2 13 42 Phantom ... ... - Whisper ... ... 2 15 5 The course up was deemed easy enough with a favoura ble wind and tid e , b u t s till every foot of the water was gallantly disputed. At Cockhouse-Point the Whisper again went by her opponent to leeward, and, creeping in advance, when they jibbed shortly afterwards, was well to windward. Again the Phantom came up in North fleet Hope, and, passing her opponent t o windward, once more took the leading place, which she retained, but was so little ahead that the question could not be said to be determined whether she had won until the Commodore's watch proclaimed the fact that she was more than a mi nute ahead—that being the time she had to allow the Whisper for difference of tonnage. They came in as follows;_ b. in. 8 . Phantom ... 4 35 23 Whisper 4 39 43 Mr. Goodson presented the cup, which, having boon won last season by the Phantom, becomes the permanent property .of her owner, Mr. Lane, to that gentleman, whose spirited conduct as a yachtsman entitles him to the warmest commendation, with an appropriate speech, which was duly responded to, and the usual toasts her' mg been drunk the company returned home. IXTRAORDINART FIRE.—A fire, under singular circumstances, broke out on Saturday night about ten o'clook, on the premises of Mr. Downey , carver and gilder tted , No. 18, Mount-street, Westminster - ro ad, which conipletely gu the whole of the back part of the house, and did from the considedifferentrable d am age to the front. A n umber of engines stations in the neighbourhood were soon on the spot, and a good supply of water being fortunately at hand, the flames, which had ascended with, frightful rapidity, were subdued before any further damage was done. The fire, it is stated. w as caused by the falling of a meteor, which as it fell hada r the appearance of a large ball of fire, and as soon as it reached the the roof of the bouts exploded with great force.
