Two AMERICAN VESSELS TAKEN BY PIRATEs.-
Extract from letter received by gentleman OF
Boston, per ship Robert Pulsford from Manila :
81 have Just heard of the loss of the schooners
Zephyr, and Anglona, both late of Boston, The
Zephyr was bound to Bombay from Canton for
cargo of opium, and had 5s600,0O0 In specie on
board
She was taken in the China Sea by pirates and
all hands murdered. l have not heard the partl-
culars about the Anglona, but understand that
all her crew were murdered.

u Advices from HAVANA state that on the
| lst March some 20 individuals were to be BAN
isbed to Spain for participating in the late trou-
| bles. This decision made by the Captain
General The decrecs ofhis Excellency are said
to be despotic and arbitrary, but tolerated with
exemplary resignation.
IT Read the advertisement in another column
of Grand Exhibition of Nitrous Oride or En-
Ailarating Gas, to be given by j. Q. Cotton in
the Broadway Tabernacle on Tuesday evening
next. This is in truth scientific entertainment,
although we have our doubts whether the use
made Of it will serve to advance the cause of sci
ence. People generally prefer to laugh rather
than TO learn. But here is an opportunity where
they can laugh and learn too, if they will. 1t
will unquestionably be an amusing entertainment.
We wish the exhibitor success.
