LIGHTHOUSE ON THE COAST OF CUBA.

The folloyWni has been received at Lloyd's
Admiralty, Aug. 30, 1842.
am commanded by my Lords Commissioners
of the Admiralty, to acquaint you, for the information
of the Committee for managing the affairs of Lloyd's,
that my Lords have received from the Foreign-office a
despatch from her Majesty's Consul at Santiago de Cuba,
representing that a Lighthouse had been erected on the
eastern side of the Moro Castle, at the entrance of that
harbour, with a revolving light, and that it was first
lighted on the night of the Ist June, 1842. I am, Sir, &c.,

The following, from the Insulaire Franaise, is a
striking instance of the still uncivilised state of Corsica:
—" The bandit Santa Lucia. having threatened the me-
dical man at Rocasora with assassination, the latter,
as a measure of prudence, sought an asylum in the
chief town of the department. A few days after-
wards, at six o'clock in the morning, he was seen in
the street by Santa Lucia, who instantly raised his gun
and shot him dead. At the report of the gun the
neighbours assembled in considerable numbers, and sur-
rounded the murderer, but with great coolness he drew
forth his stiletto, and threatened to stab the first who
should venture to lay hands on him. The crowd opened
a passage for him, and he retreated quietly through the
streets. As he passed by a post of custom-house soldiers,
he was summoned to surrender. " Come and take me,"
said he, concealing his stiletto. A soldier having at•
tempted to seize him, he again drew out his stiletto and
stabbed the man in three places. He then continued
his route, and two soldiers without their muskets having
ventured to follow him, he discharged his carbine at
them, but fortunately without wounding them, and then,
having again reloaded, rapidly disappeared in the country."
The Journal de Rotten relates that on Wednesday
last, while Mlle. Ernestine Jobey, a young lady 21 years
of age, was bathing in company with Mme. Bizet de
Cantelou, in the Seine, near the Cote de Deux Amans,
she suddenly sunk in a hole, at least 18 feet deep. At
the moment of sinking she caught the hand of Mrne.
Bizet, but soon lost her presence of mind, relinquished
her hold, and went to the bottom. Every exertion was
made to recover her, but an hour and a half elapsed
before she could be brought to the surface, and then, of
course, life bad fled for ever.
