People have frequently expressed their astonish-
ment at the copious correspondence with which am
supplied, its diversified, and interesting character,
and the education, polish, and refinement which are
conspicuous in thu letters of my friends who write
TO me from distance. The fashionable social, and
political movements, sayings and doings of Paris and
London, the salient ponts of European elegance,
lsxury, and influence; the commercial affairs of Cal
cutta and Canton oar own matters Of interest at
Key West and New Orleans; the mercantile opera
lions at Jamaica and the other West India Islands;
are all furnished in regular and valuable series;
and what is more extraordinary, unsolicited and vo.
unfairly on the part of the writer's themselves The
only circumstance to which can fairly attribute
their anxiety and empressement to oblge me, and
cooperate with me in keeping The public eourast
of the affairs of the world is the character of the
Herald itself, and its sustained and growing popu.

or this character is the communication from Ma
,anzas at the head of this article and we have plea
s,re in enrolling the writer amcng our distant COLA
horateurs. The business department of the Herald
has attracted his notice and approval, its general
fashionable and social qualities have secured il the
appreciation and favor of the dark eyed Castilian
beauty, his wfe, who only expresses the universal
sentiment that pervades the loneliness of Cuba, and

faugabe editor and cheer him onward in the path of
duty and inclination; he finds that his labors are
correctly appreciated by those OF his own country to
whose sweet service he has vowed himself while the
bright eyes Of the beauties Of the Caribbean islands
