AND-HAyANA December Is, lS4l.-lt has long
been matter of regret to the inhabitants of this city,
that ON the arrival of nvalds from the United States
with letters of introduction, it has never been In their
mower to recommend them suitable residence in
The country. 1t has therefore been necessary for
such persons, either to take up their abode IN the
hotels in town. where the noise and hustle of crowd
ed city, and the want Of the pure atmosphere and
calm retirement Of country life, prevent their de-
irving that benefit from the change OF climate which
they naturally expect, they compelled to go to
places in the country where adequate preparations
have been made for receiving them, and where the
apartments, accommodations, and manner OF living,
are in no wise calculated for persons in delicate
state of health.
From a due consideration of this want, and of the
great benefit that would be derived by nvaids who
seek to regain that health in the mild and benehcent
climate of Cuba, if suitable abode should be pro-
yded for them, the subscriber, medical practitioner
long established in this city, has appropriated ms
beautiful coffee estate called the Buena Esperalsd,
situated in the most healthy and romantic part OF the
country so as to form residence equally agreeable
and attractive In order to carry out tins intention
the fullest extent that professional knowledge ana
long experience of the effects Of tropical climates
could attain no pains have been spared TO form an
establishment; which affords to the invalid, as well as
to the healthy vsiter, every rational enjoyment hat
can be derived from dwelling in the mlldest climate,
surrounded by the most picturesque vegetation. ne
grounds laid out in the beautiful style of coffee es-
tate comprise about five hundred acres. The Buend
Epera,-a situated the south side OF the island,
and is thus, in great measure, sheltered from 'he
chilly winds which now and then blow from the norm
during the winter months. The district in which 1t
lies has been from its extreme beauty, termed the
Windsor of Cuba. The house has been built with
every attention to those comforts so indispensable 10
inyalids and of which the buildings of this country
are destitute. All the rooms have boarded hoors
and glass windows. The establishment is on the
footing of that of private family, of which the guests
form part making themselves quite at home, and
without being confined to those regulations which are
necessary at hotels. In this establishment the Invalid
has it in his power to vary his amusements by walk
ING in the shady avenues Of mango and palm trees
riding on horseback or a yolante, or visiting the
neighboring estates so thickly spread through the
populous country. A large sugar estate close a
hand affords opportunity OF drinking the not cans
