INTELLIGENCE FROM HAVANA We are in pos
session OF files of the Faro Industrial de la Ha-
bana, by the brig Prince de Joinville, Capt Gard
ner, to the l4th Dec; but the general news is
unimportant
We Gull few items, however, which may be
of interest. Senior Esteban Mestre was about to
commence operations in an extensive paper mill,
located at Paentes Grandes; this is the first
mandatory Of the kind which has ever been
established in Cuba, and magnificent entertain
ment was to be given on the day of its opening.
All the government officials, including the Cap
tain General and other magnates, would be pre-
sent on the occasion, and the Bishop of Havana
was to bless the undertaking.
a medical periodical was about starting in
Havana 1t is to be conducted by Drs Tam
brana, Pnet and Auber, all eminent men.
The Italian Opera company had "Lucia de Lam
mermoor" in rehearsal and Sonora Cirartegui, the
young Habanera, was to take prominent part in
it, which is not mentioned, and much was anti
cipated from her. Senoras CarantI, Marin and
Senior Perelli were all up for benefits. Verdi's
new opera of "NebuchadnezZar" had been per-
formed twice-the critics all agree in laudIne it
as one of the most splendid of this composers
works. but lament that the singers did not do it
the justice it requires.
Senior Rozo and Miss Fanny Byron, the aero
nauts, had a narrow escape from an awful death.
They were preparing to make an ascent, and just
as they were about TO start, the balloon burst, and
as a matter of course, nothing further could be
done.
Vests picture of Christ healing the sick was
still attracting crowds
