ton remains Boston yet, but how long it will be
out of the madhouse, l am unable to make even
guess for, if the thousand and one strange vaga-

shall ere long become city OF wild enthusiasts. Sc

all the wisdom and discernment of the land, are
yet more accessible than the inhabitants of any

two former, he will probably sell some 1900 tickets,
at dollar each, besides hundreds going away who

Yet he was pronounced capitalize second, Max
Bohrer, and the third, Knoop. At this stage, the
mercury began to rise, and then came Nagel, who

came Mons Bley, and he voted " divine."-
Then appeared Knoop, who was followed by Arto,

FROM HAvANA.-By the ship John Marshall, from
Havana, arrived last evening, we received our re-
gnar files to her time Of sailing. Arrests appear
still to continue, although not very frequently. The
inhabitants were thrown into considerable alarm,
few days previous, by the arrival of the United
States ship Vincennes and the schooner Somers in
that port on the same day, believing that this
government had sent them there to redress the in.
suit offered to the American flag, by the murder OF
the seaman Murphy; and a number of the Ameri.
can residents expressed great disappointment, when
they discovered the of the arrival the above
mentioned vessels. 1t appears that the Somers had
orders for the immediate return of the Vincennes
to Pensacola.
FROM Observation-Disclosures from Matanzas
state that agreat many arrests had occurred within
few days previous to the sailing of the brig
Francis, which arrived at this port last night. In
the towns of ST. Antonio and Trimverado, the ne
groes had risen and commenced depredations, but
they were suddenly queled by shooting their
leaders. Rumors say the number captured were
about 900, and the principal sufferer is rich Span
lard, named Dom Hulian Alphonso.
