IMPORTANT FROM CUBA 1t appears that large
portion of the wealthy and influential inhabitants of
this island are exceedingly indignant with the Spa
nish Government for allowing the British to inter-
fere with their social systems Of government slave
trade, negroes, &C.; and that a majority Of the
white people Of Cuba are in favor of throwing of
their allegiance to the Spanish government, and de-
claring themselves free and independent. This
movement, ifit takes place, will be attended with
serious consequences to the peace Of this country
well as Great Britain.

Mr.. BoHRER's FOURTH CoNcERr--While it is
due to Mr.. Bohrer, it is equally so to the musical
community, to say, that no one can hear him but
with admiration and delight. His performances
have most classic finish, and the adroitness with
which he commands the viooncellois truly astonish-
ing He exhibits that instrument in an entirely new
light, and shows il TO possess capacities for musical
erect ct which few have before conceived. II will
DC seen from his advertisement, that he performs
again this evening, December LIST, at the Tabernacle
Those who would like to see for themselves what
can be achieved on the violoncello, will do well to
embrace this opportunity, as the last that they will
probably enjoy.

LATER FROM FLoRIDA.-The United States steam
er Colonel Harvey, Captain Pearson, arrived at Sa-

quiet there. A party of Creeks had come in at
Tampa, believed to be about one half of all that
portion of the tribe now remaining out. The re.
malnder of the Creeks had also promised to come
IN soon, and were daily expected Though manv
people have doubted whether the Florida war would
ever end, we think the gollant general now in CONS
mand will have the honor of finally closing it.

FASHIONABLE lNrELLIGENCE-On Tuesday eve
ming, very neat and fashionable gentlemans sol
rec was given by Major Jonathan d. Stevenson, the
distinguished politician, who exploded the ppelayers,
at his elegantmanson. The Hon. Levi Woodbury.,
Hon. Silas Wright Mayor and Aldermen and every
distinguished politician now in town,were invited.
All attended with great punctuality, except Silas
Wright, who had scruples of conscience.
About o'clock, or perchance verging towards 10,
note was received from Mr.. Wright, stating that
as he understood that great efforts were making
here in relation to the offices ia the gift of Cover
nor Bouck, and as he did wish to take any side
or to support any Clique of the party in prefe-
renee to another, he would beg leave to decline
the invitation. This threw the soree into the mid.
die of next day, without the usual headache So
they took cracker, piece of cheese, and horn of
Croon, and left for home.
We understand that the anxious small cliques of
the democratic party, looking after the spos, have
at last settled down into large ones called the
" old hunkers" and the "young democracy" There
Will be terrible row between them for the spoils-
but which will succeed, we cannot yet tell Cover
nor Bouck is an old fashioned man, with young
heart, but an old hat on old head. He rides to
Albany on an 8" old white horse''-keeps his own
" slate and penc'-does his own shaying-and
brushes his own coat. We suspect he will disap.
point some office-beggars

the conductors of the Democratic Review, who in
miserable attempt to apologize for Colt, and
sure the living for his death, cry that it is shock
ngly anti-republican TO hang respectable man for
murder
Why is all this outcry made when highly re
spectacle man, or one with wealthy friends, kills
another! In the case of two or three poor Irshmen,
who have been hung in this city, never heard all
this talk about the anti-repubcanism OF hanging
We never saw these lawyers getting up park meet
ing Tor the poor and wretched cupnt, without
friends; IN these cases they could find flaws
dlctmens, no maconductin jurors no roomor threats
TO the Sheriff, orbrow beating the Executive on Chan
cellor, or abusing the press. In such cases these
d'sinterested lawyers could see no ground to apply
Tor wrIts OF error or stay of judgment. Oh no. The
poor and frlendless culprit mus, hang But here in
the case of Alexander, we see Governor Pope ar
rayed with his counsel This has its effect. So in
the OF Monroe Edwards we saw Senator Crit
tenden with his counsel Poor Edwards was inno-
cent-he was persecuted-he shamefully SLAM
dered by the prsss-hs lawyers said they would clear
hm-they would carry his up to the Court of
Errors Whenlo, and behold one night they found
out that they would not get a cent of pay from Ed
wards and the very next morning, the prosecuted
much abused, gallant, chivalrous, and innocent
Monroe Edwards was on his way to Sing Sing with
his head shaved.
The truth is, that, unless they are checked that
class of society called lawyers will yet be the ruin
OF the country. They have corrupted Congress =
corrupted the Legislature to corrupt and brow
beat the press, and failing in that, have abused it
they have corrupted many of the Banking Instu
tons of this country, and now they wish to break
up and destroy all the institutions of society," to gra
iity their own ambition and avarce. Such has been
the conduct of these hungry, miserable, canting
captious, Office hunting lawyers.
