LATE AND INTERFERING FROM CUBA. The
New York Herald has received the following
intelligence from Cuba.
The Sobrano, "a, was at Cumberland Har-
Dor, and the Congress and the two war schoon-
crs at st. Iago, supposed to be under the or
ders of the Governor of St. Jago, for fear of
some outbreak among the troops, which had
shown themselves in the Eastern part of the
isand-four soldiers had been shot for insub-
ordination.
The house of Cassamaior had failed for over
a million of money. The impositions of the
Government have very much increased-a new
eXaction of seventeen dollars per head on all
foreigners had caused much dissatisfaction
amongst them. The French consul at st. Japo
had protested, and threatened the interference
of his government. The American and other
Consuls had also taken some steps in relation 10
it.
The difficulties and expense of passing goods
through the Custom House were very much in
creased. The greedy set of officers have been
doubled, who exert their ingenuity to invent
causes for fines and forfetures, which it has be-
come almost impossible TO escape. The un-
fair tonnage regulations have been reinforced
against American vessels, which they no longer
allow to be remeasured, because thereby thew
formed difference of 80 or 40 per ct. against
them. This is in part owing to our ridiculous
law ofmeasurement for tonnage: for example,
moderate sharp vessel of 1000 barrels capacity
will measure about 10 Spanish tons-register
about 90 tons English, l25 American; but in
Cuba they class the English and American TO-
gether, and on both demand twenty-three per
cent. additional, to make them equal to Span
ish-the unfairress of which is evident.

BENSON'S WATER RAM.

MIR. BANNER, of Frederick, is now here with
this curious and valuable invention, and we had the
pleasure OF witnessing its operation few days ago
1t is certainly of the best contrvances for fore
ing water up hill which we have ever seen. l,
Is perfectly simple in its construction, and has
nothing about it that is liable to get out of order or
that may not be easily repaired. But small pow
er is necessary to work it, that it may be used
advantageousy in any situation where the most in
considerable fall can be procured. The water is
made to act directly the valves without the in
PREVENTION of wheel or piston, and the forcing
power is acquired Gin a way we cannot exactly ex-
plan) by the combined action of the water and the
air in the Ram. Farmers who may have springs
or running water which they wish to convey to
more convenient situations, will do well to examine
this invention.

member of Capt Lenow's company of Fayttte Ca
valry, denouncing Mr.. Lacy as having been guilty
OF crimes the most dishonest infamous and penal ;
and alleging as his excuse for making said publiea
ton, that since the departure of Mr.. Lacy he had
learned that Mr.. J.. had circulated reports that he
mad been guilty Of infamous and dishonest acts
On the 18th Mr.. Lacy arrived in Memphis from

the Puohcation of Mr.. Wilson reached him he
was immediately, however, almost unanimously re-

A movement is about to be made, we are glad to
see, in some of our Cities for the relief Of the sarv-
ing poor in Ireland, and doubt the effort will be
heartily united in by the whole country. Ireland
has claims upon us which cannot be disregardcd.-
She is almost part and parcel of ourselves, and must
have our active sympathy in her present extreme
suffering. viii not Staunton do something in this
good cause? We trust that subscription will at
