We have accounts from Havannah to the 24 inst.,
but of a very conflicting character ; generally, how-
ever, they tend to confirm our suspicions that at no
time has any serious revolt occurred, and that the
contests reported via New Orleans and New York
have been portions of the
" Baseless fabric of a vision"
in the brains of the sympathisers throughout the
United States. Letters of a reliable nature announce,
that measures were being taken by the Spanish Gover-
nor to repress with the strong hand of power any fresh
manifestations of the interior insurgents or pirates from
New Orleans. The steam-ship Pizarro, and several
other vessels of war, had left the harbour to cruise
about the coast. Mantanzas account of the 2d
inst. announce that, according to the official docu-
ments, the insurrection had been put down by the
Spanish troops, and that the rebels who had taken a
refuge in the mountains were reduced to the last ex-
tremity. Business was dull, and no freights offered
to the numerous vessels in port.
From Coquimbo, Chili, we hear of the loss of the-
English steamer Ecuador, on the 25th of June, while
going out of the Bay of Coquimbo on her voyage. to
Copiapo. She ran on a rocky point, with her steam
on, and, backing off, filled and sank. She was insured
in London. Happily no lives were lost. She had, it
was supposed, been previously sold by the Pacific
Steam Navigation Company.
Letters from the Sandwich Islands report that her
Majesty's ship Daedalus sailed from Honolulu on the

SOUTHAMPTON, AUG. 25.
The United States mail steam-ship Washington,
Captain G. W. Floyd, arrived off Cawes at 5, P.M.,
and having landed the English mails and passengers,
proceeded on her voyage to Bremen.
The Washington left New York on the 12th inst.,
and her advice& have therefore been anticipated by
the British and North American royal mail steam•
ship Niagara, which arrived at Liverpool on Sunday.
She brought 97 passengers, 48 of whom were for
England, and a very large and valuable general cargo.

ST. JAMES'S THEATRE.
Those very talented children, Ellen and Kate Bate-
man, of whose wonderful performances at the dress
rehearsal on Saturday evening we gave a notice in
The Sun of yesterday, gave a public performance last
evening, and albeit we are no great admirers
of precocious artistes, yet we must do the
Batemana the justice to say that we have
never before seen children actors who have been
nearly so well taught, or who have been nearly so apt
to learn. All the great points of Richard 111. are
given by little Ellen 134teman with a correctness, a
power, and an aplomb that is really wonderful; and
it is quite evident that the little artiste is quite as de-
lighted herself with her own pertortnance as are her
auditors in witnes•il,g it. In the comedy of The
Young Couple, which followed, and which w,e.
written by Scribe fur Leontine Fay at the time that
that most accomplished artiste was the juvenile pro-
digy of the Gymnase, the little Batemans were ex-
ceedingly amusing; there was a geniality in their
humour which seemed quite spontaneous ; they were
children acting the characters of children, and there-
fore acting characters which they could thoroughly
comprehend and enjoy. The house was crowded,
and the audience enthusiastic in its applause.

THE ROYAL WEST INDIA MAIL STEAMERS.—
magnificent specimen of marine architecture, one of the
largest steamers yet constructed for the Royal West India
Mail Steamship Company, is now rapidly approaching com-
pletion at the yard of Messrs. Patterson and Co., the cele-
brated shipbuilders of Bristol. She is to be called the Deme-
rara, and in some respects falls little short of that " leviathan
of the deep" the Great Britain. Her length between the
perpendiculars is 282 feet, and length over all 316 feet, being
between 4 and 5 feet only short of the Great Britain. Her
breadth of beam is 41 feet, and her extreme width from the
outside of the paddleboxes 751% feet ; her depth to the main
deck, 26 feet 8 inches ; depth of spar deck, 7 feet. Her ton-
nage by old measurement is 2,318 tons, and by the new about
3,000 tons. She is built of sound British oak, teak, and
pine, is diagonally trussed with iron, has copper fastenings
throughout to the 21 feet mark, and has iron fastenings above
that. She will be propelled by two engines made by Messrs.
Caird and Co., of Greenock; these engines will be on the
" side lever" principle, of 750 horse-power, 96 inch cylin-
ders, and 9 feet stroke ; they will also be attached to a pair
of Morgan's patent feathering float paddles. She will be
barque rigged, and fitted with Brown's patent capstan and
stoppers. She has been built from the drawings of Mr. W.
Patterson, and will make the fourth packet built for the Royal
West India Mail Company by him. She has been in-
spected by several naval men, who pronounce her to be a
splendid model, and it is anticipated she will prove a re-
markably fast sailer.
THEATRE ROYAL RYDE.—The arrival of the famed
clipper yacht America having called us to the Isle of Wight'
we availed ourselves of the opportunity of visiting the pretty
little theatre at Ryde. On the evening in question the per-
formance commenced with Sir E L. Bulwer's celebrated play
of Richelieu, in which Mr. Hermann Vezin appeared as the
Cardinal with great ability and success. The careful man-
ner in which Mr. Vezia declaimed the part proved him at
once both the scholar and the gentleman, and also that he
may, it he chooses, reach the highest pinnacle in his profes-
sion. We anticipate in a short time seeing him at one of
our leading theatres. The part of Julie de Mortemar was
beautifully sustained by Miss Love, who appeared to be a
great favourite here. The other characters in the play were
well filled, although it was to be regretted that a more
juvenile member of the company was not " cast" for the
page Francois. Planche's Loan of a Lover, in which Miss
E. Nelson and Mr. Craven apseared, concluded the evenings
entertainment. The house was very fashionably attended.
ETIQIIIITTE or THE METROPOLITAN BAR.--A pro-
position has been submitted to the members of the bar prac-
tising in the criminal Fourth of the metropolis, by Mr.
Briarly, the object of which is to put an end to the system of
fraud and plunder upon the poor, carried on by what are
termed " touters," a class of persons who skulk about the
police and criminal courts. fleecing the friends of prisoners
charged with offences. under the pretence of being able to
procure and render professional aid. Mr. Briarly, in a oir-
cuter, says, the only knowledge these persons have of the
law is what they have learned by personal experience. lie
proposes that a court should be formed of the members 01
the bar, whose duty should be, under a code of regulations,
to try all members of the bar who might be found holding a
brief, or acting in any way for any of these touters. The
jurisdiction of the court is not to extend to those heavy
offences against practice of the law, and against moral duty,
which are inquired into by the governing bodies. of the inns
of court, and upon proof of which the profession
lictepd urged
the
of
the offender. The extreme penalty to be nf by
proposed court is the expulsion of any member, and the re-
fusal of the whole bar to hold a brief either with or for any
such offender in any civil or criminal court Courts of this
descrife ion are formed on every circuit, and Mr. Briarly
urges that such a court in the metropolis would purify the
practice of the bar. It is to be seen what effect this propo-
sition will produce.
EXHIBITION OF PAINTINGS AT LICIIFIELD-HOESE •
The proprietors of the Lichfield-house Picture Gallery, in
St. James's-square, opened their rooms yesterday evening,
in order to allow the public an opportunity of witnessing
the paintings by gas light. The whole of the state apart-
ments of the mansion were thrown open, and the
.effect was
striking and beautiful. Among the principal painters of
the French school whose works are exhibited in the gal-
lery are—Paul Delaroche, Horace Vernet, Schoffer, Rosa
Bonheur, Isabey, Gosse, Signol, &c. "The Massacre of
the Innocents," by Leon Coignet ; "The Divorce of Jose-
phine," by Schopin ; and "The Combat of the Wild Beasts
in the Colosseum," by Lenillier, are among the attractions
of the collection. The Belgian and Dutch painters are re-
presented by Verboeckhoven, Madow, Wappers, H. Leys,
Van Eycken, Genisson, Chanvin, Yschaggeny, Willems,
Rooseboorn, Schotel, Waldorfs, Slengenrya, and others.
There.r are also specimens of the modern German, Italian,
Norwegian, Swiss, Russian, Danish, Swedish, and Spanish
schools; and amongst the contributors are to be found the
names of Schrader, Weyde, Ternite, Hermann, Schoppe,
Max. SchmidPistorius,
Schmidt., Steffec, R. de Baux &c. There
are in addition several well known works by distinguished
painters of the English school.
GREAT COAL BED IN AMERlCA.—A.wonderful
deposit, it is sail, at Straitsville, Ohio, exceeds anything of
the kind ever discovered. " A gentleman of high standing"
is reported to have attested recent borings through the stra-
tum, which was ascertained to be 138 feet thick. About ten
miles south, too, there is said to be " a vein of carbonate of
iron implanted similar to a slaty structure, with an easy
cleavage, and full of well preserved leaves of the coral forma-
tion; some of them on breaking. open exhibiting the green of
the leaf." The ore, by analysis of Professor Rogers, it is
iron.

THE INCOME••T AX.—We have often denounced the
income-tax, but after perusing the report of the evidence
offered before the Committee of the House. of Commons ap-
pointed to consider the nature of the impst, we regar.d the
language we have employed as too moderate.
itThis ob-
noxious burden is only conceded for one year, and will be
an act of patriotism and of morality to knock it in the
head. If we are to have direct taxation, let us have a system
universally applicable to all self-supporting .citizem!. Ihe
present arrangement is unjust, partial, and ineffectve., It
leaves wealth exempt, and exacts the pound of flesh from
comparative poverty and from struggling industry. It offers
a bonus on fraud, end tempts to deceit, evasion, falsehood,
and trickery. And it bears hardest and is most profitable
when dealing with the scrupulous conscience. The law here
is fitted in the highest degree to create defaulters and cheats
—indeed, the amount of evasion and lying to which the
income-tax gives occasion must be enormous. And yet
coerced by the Manchester seltist, a small tax dare not be im-
posed on the commodities poured into this country by the
alien and foreign.— Edinbusgh Post.
CLOSING OF THE NEV AH.—Ye.terday this
great thorough are was closed to carriage traffic from the end
of Seymour-street to King's-cross (a distance of about half
a mile) by the erection of barriers at the order of the autho-
rities of S-. Pancras. It is expected, from the exceedingly
deteriorated state of the road, that several weeks will elapse
before it can be ready for public use.
THE ROM AN CATHOLIC NiOVEMENT•—MT. Rey-
nolds, M.P., and Mr. W. Keogh, M.P., two of the honorary
secretaries at the late aggregate meeting, are about to pro-
ceed on a mission through the provinces connected with the
organization of the movement now in contemplation.

FUNERAL OF TOM SFRING.—The remains of this
well-respected man were yesterday conveyed from bis dwel..
ling, the Castle, Holborn, to their last resting-place in the
Norwood Cemetery. The attendance to the grave, wherein
two sons of the deceased and a sister are already inearthed,
included many whose names are connected with less solemn
scenes than that at which they yesterday assisted. Among
those who looked anxiously into the last narrow resting
place of the ex-champion, we noticed Burn, Crawley,
Phelps, Martin, Adams, Castles, Reed, Maley. &c. Neate,
of Bristol, too, once the antagonist of him who there lay
low, looked. with tearful eye into the grave ; he, with a friend
from Norwich, Lucas, Captain Barclay% trainer, and several
of the old school, bid a last farewell ; and among those friends
who has come to bid a last farewell were his wedicel adviser,
Dr. Brady, and in private carriages his brother L. V.'s,
Messrs. Renton Nicholson, Dismore, Owen Swift, Hallo,
Winsley, &c.

A _Me was given on the 18th, by the united Chess
Clubsof Potsdam and Berlin, to Mr. Anderssen, on his re-
turn from the tournament in London. Sixty members were
present ; among the number was Max Lange, a distin-
guished chess-player from Magdeburg. Before sitting down
to supper, the latter and Anderssen played a gams together
for the edification of the spectators, and Anderssen came off
victorious. Mr. Anderssen is now on his way to the Baths
I at Salzbrunn, and thence returns to his birth-place, Breslau,
to resume his functons as Professor at the Gymnasium.
A painful impression was created in the City in
connexion with Messrs. Rocker's failure by the news that
the senior partner died this morning. Mr. Rucker was
about 76 years of age, and had been for some time an invalid,
but his death it Is assumed was hastened by the misfortune
to his house. Few mercantile men were better known in
London, and he was always deservedly held is the highest
regard.— Times.
