that the persons concerned in the late Baak

names are Daniel Manly, +. Della and Capt.
Rolfe Manly was apprehended lew days

taken passage IN the mail stage Tor Boston,
was taken out oil the stage Iaithough. there
was nothing very suspicious OF him, and
carried before tue Directors, by whom he
was examined. They made it appear "a
him that the evidence was SO strong against
him. that he would certainly be convicted
and advised him to discover his accompIi.
ces. and where the money was secreed.
Furthermore, they offered TO give him
10, COO dollars ami his liberty, If he would
discover where the money was and who
were the thieves. This had such an effect
on him, that he made iuii disclosure, and
named the persons before mentioned, a. the

the bills were gone, and he observed that
Minly must have taken them. He then
carried them to another place, where the
specie was secreted-!ound il, and deliver.
ed it to the Directors He was then Sci at
liberty, and in twenty minutes after, he shot
himself. The modification OF not finding
the money with he disappointment of not
receiving the reward, lo'elter with the

too strong Tor his mind 10 overcome, and
thus prompted him to slltle conscience in
the arms of death.

A gentleman who left Havana on the e5th
last month in The schr GeorgeWashington,
and who having left that vessel off the
capes she being bound TO New-fork) ar
rived here on Saturday night in Baltimore
pilot boat, has authorized the keeper Of the
Steamboat Reading Room Books to say
that the report received at Baltimore, from
captain Webb, Of the ship Benjamin, re-
speeding duty of four dollars being exact
ed from every vessel arriving at Havana,
for tte support Of de hquisition, or for a
ny other purpose whatever, is not correct !;
no such duty having been laid. From a
long residence a: Havana, his commercial
pursuits and sources of information, he pre-
sumes that if such had been the case, he
must have known it. The tonnage duty
OF 2 dollars and 90 cents OH all vessels, 10
take effect from the lst July, is correct
This gentlemen further states, that several
private letters had been received a, Hava-
ma from Cadiz, stating that the FIoridas had
been coded to the L. s. but thai little or no
credit was attached to them and the pub
lie attention was directed to the y. S. for
confirmation Of the report. Havana was
not more sickly than usual at this season OF
the year. Persons who were compelled to
undergo great fatigue thereby overheating
themselves, and then by impnident expo.

to the fever which soon carried them off,
Business was rather dull, and the prices
had varied but little since last quotations.

Approaching this island, as the weather

scenery burst upon the view, rising IN
gentle ascent from The sea, the grounds
were disposed more like the finest country
seats in England, than those OF an island
so remote from the civilized world" 1t

groupe, hitherto unvisited by any Euro
peans. They anchored in front OF town
where number ofvessels acre lying IN
harbo,, the mouth of which was formed by
two pier heads. Thousands of the aston
ished natives, perched on the surrounding
rocks and heights, gazed on the vessels as
they entered. Several canoes with official
men in them, came along side, wishing to
know who they were, and what WAS the
purport Of their visit. By means of a Chi
nese Interpreter whose language some OF
them understood, it was explained to them
that the ship had sustained some damage
in the late gales and to give a color TO the
story, the sea water was let into the well
and the chain-pump set to work, to The
great amazement of the unsuspecting peo-
pie, who seemed TO sympathise with their
misfortunes. The following morning a
number of their carpenters came on board
with the rude instruments of their art to
give all possible assistance. II was signi-
fed 10 them that there were carpenters
enough belonging to the ship, and that all
that was desired was an asylum while re-
pairing, and permission 10 purchase provi-
sons and take on board fresh water.
An immediate supply Of buHocks, hogs,
goats, fowls, eggs, excellent sweet pota-
toes, fruit, vegetables, fire wood, and even
candles, followed this intimation and these
supplies with plenty of excellent water,
were regularly sent on board when wanted,
for six weeks; the chief authorities obsti-
nately persisting to refuse any payment or
remuneration whatever-a disintercsted ge-
nerosity which was soon found to CORES
pond with every part of the conduct OF this
mirable people.
There were considerable difficulties a
bout their being permitted TO land but
these were at last overcome and the sick
were accommodated in the garden of tenn
pie or place of worship, OF which the ma
tives appeared to make very little use, and
where they were treated with the klndest
and most unwearied attention by all classes
Of tie inhabitants" Milk, eggs, meat and
vegetables were brought TO them every day,
and whenever they felt disposed TO walk
they were accompanied by one or two Of

pital, to pleasant grassy spot on the sum-
