The Foreign corrsspondencs OF the new


and another from Vienna--whch will be found
10 possess great deal Of interest
The proprietor OF this paper has gone 10 Europe
partly for the purpose Of establishing a regular
system OF correspondence in the principal Euro.
Pean cities 1t is his intention, during his tour TO
VISIT all the cities OF any note in Europe, and en-
ploy IN each talented and well-informed person.
TO act as correspondents, and to give an account
Of every thing worthy of notice that happens
Thus we shall have, at every arrival of a steam
ship, details Of all the prominent political events
given with truthfulness and accuracy that can
only be impaired to them by the actual lockers
on. They will form sort of Daguerreotyps view
of the capitals Of the old World
The people of America are now pretty well &C
quainted with the affairs and politics of Europe,
particularly of England and Ireland They are
aware that such countries as France, Austria,
Prussia, Germany and Italy exist and know Just
enough OF them to have q strong desire to learn
more oftheir social habits and their politics. 1t
shall be our care to give them graphic sketches of
the manners and customs of these different coun-
tries. These sketches will be furnished by men
sttalent, well acquainted with the countries they
treat OF, and who are actually resident in the diff
ferent capitals, and whose standing and position
IN society will enable them to become conversant
with every thing of Importance
Thus we will be able TO furnish our readers
every week or fortnight, or Whereabouts, with news
from the different cities of Europe, and at the
same time we shall have an instantaneous me-
dunn of communication with the principal cities
of this continent This will be state of things
unheard of in the history of newspaper enterprise
What glorious results may not be expected to en-
sue from this rapid communication efintellipence!
II is our intention that the progress and i'm
provements of the Ne,c York Herald shall keep on
pdsst pass" with the progress and improvement in
steam and electricity:
VERY LATE FROM HAvANA-The brig Poland,
Capt. Wheeden, arrived last night from Havana,
with advices to the Goth ult. inclusive.
Welearn from one other passengers, Mr. James
Farlan, Jr., that the Mexican steamers were to
proceed to England, and that they were making
preparations for that purpose. 1t is stated that
the Governor of Havana had ordered their Off
GERS to land their guns previous to departure.
We have files of the Faro Industrial to the 10th
inst, but the intelligence is of little importance.
Nothing had been received from Mexico later than
our news via New Orleans.
The railroad from Puerto Principe to Nuevitas
was under contract for completion. 1t is expected
to be entirely in operation in thirty months.
The festival of Corpus Christi had been engros-
sing public attention. Owing to untavorable
weather, the procession and public festivities
were deferred till the 18th ult.
The money market was in a very embarrassed
state, especially in the interior, from the scarcity
OF small coin, it being almost impossible to obtain
change for doubloon
The steamer Congress had sailed for Baracoa,
carrying company of soldiers for that ancient
point.
The work of lighting the city of Havana with
gas is rapidly progressing.
The St Cecilia and Havana companies were
making arrangements for giving grand musical
concerts this summer
WHO WILL GIVE us CHEAP BREApl-There seems
10 be quite an excitement in the city Just now. in
consequence of the great disproporton between
the price OF bread and -four
In spite OF any assertions to the contrary it is
iact that as general thing, bread is selling at the
same price now, when -four is from SO SO to SIS
per barrel, as it was when flour was at SS and
So There may be few exec ptons to this rule
but families who take bread from the bakers do
not derive the benefit of the low price in flour
In some Of the cities of the Union there is a
law regulating the price of bread, graduating
1t in accordance avith the price of flour In
THIS city we have none, which we think is very
proper Such laws may be never regarded and
nave tendency 10 make trade between man and
man ourdensome and clumsy. Whenever any
grievance OF this kind exists, the force of public
opinion should be set in operation to abolish it.
As the main tax in this matter falls upon the
laoonng portion OF the community, to them we
would say, buy your barrel of flour, and your
good wives viii be very glad to spend an extra
hour IN making good homemade bread This
you will find cheaper and more wholesome than
the best bakers bread, at the lowest price, and
such acourse will in short time bring the bakers
to terms.
