CUBA ANTI THE REVOLUTION.—A &Tot eh from
Havannah, by the submarine cable, announces that a cum-
misrion of five of the principal men in the island, desig-
nated by the planter._, lout embarked for Europe, in order
to come to an understanding with the provisional govern-
ment of Madrid as to the line of conduct to be wlopted
wider existing circumstances. The Cuban landowners
accept in principle the emancipation of the blacks, and
have long been preparing for it by diminishing hand
labour and substituttng powerful ma-pinery, almost all
constructed by French maters; but the slaveowners ask
that the liberution should be effected gradually. in a space
of time sufficient to prevent au crisis, which would pro-
duce a general disc ter without benefiting any one. Such
is the object of the mi,ssion.

those of the gun practice itself. The armour plating, in
Lard steel. intended to MVO:* the batteries of the
manufactures of M. Cruiser, at Buckan, near Magde-
burg, is almost accompli,bed, and Brent results are ex-
pected from it. It presents to the nu:sidles of the enemy
only curved surfaces which, be, :des, are backed by earth-
works, and are in part protected by strong walls. The
smallest thickne.. of the. proteethar is 25 inches, and the
rivet: inside is perfectly sufficient for the movement of
the soldiers and for they tetfety. The walls, composed of
Mocks of natal, rd from NMI to I,SOO quintal.; each in
weiebt (21 cwt.), are net clamped nor screwed, but
preieed one aguitet the Wee-, an-I keit to;„*.llter by their
very form, so that the dcfenec cannot la broken down."
