ton that the last papers we received from Havana
had large space in their columns devoted to the
affairs of Span but in none did we find any allu-
sion to the repeated attempts at revolution which
have lately occurred in that country; but on the
contrary, ii was represented as being in remarka-
bly, prosperous and tranquil state.
But more than all this, we have ourselves the
most direct and positive information, that within
the last few weeks an iIsurrecton was on the
point Of breaking out III Cuba, and was only avert
Ell by the mOsL strenuous eXertOns Of the autlor-
! ties. The names OF some Of those arrested are in
our possession, and We know of others who have
arrived IN this city within the last few days, having
been forclu u leave Havana to escape imprison-
ment and perhaps death
| Even NOW the Cuban government rests upon

COUNTERFEIT. 49, Remarkably well executed
countereits of the ten dollar bills of the Bank of
Virginia, payable at Lynchburg, in circulation
along the North Carolina lne in both States, dated
June 3, 1877; letter r the signatures and filling
! up engraved. The bills are well calculated to de-
ceive There are also few counterfeit SOS on

IMMIGRANTs-The whole number arrived in the

0s~ Mrs. Fanny Kemble Butler, it is said, is re-
siding at Lenox, Mass, where she has many
friends A newspaper from that region informs us
that she INDUCES in various little eccentricities,
much to the surprise of the people-amOng others,
| in her love for male attire. Her morning costume
consists of pair Of pants fTock coat or blouse,
as the weather may dictate, a.dicky and cane
and with this outfit she wanders over hill and dale
with an abandon which would do credit to any one
who had been from youth accustomed to this dress.
Mrs. Butler commences al engagement at the
Bowery Theatre, NewNork, early in the month.

RUSSIA AND TURKEY-Charles ABerL-The
| English commander despatched three ships OF the
| line rom the Levant to the Black Sea, upon hear
ing that Russia had sent her troops into Moldavia.
| Whether this is for the purpose OF protecting the
! Turks or for being in a condition to divide the
spoils remains to be developed The liberal press
in Europe has become very severe upon Charles
| Albert, for his recent conduct. He has lost the
| confidence of liberal Europe; and If he now WINS,
it will be only regarded the battle of the Italian
I-peOpe against tyrants, but thai the man at their
| head is nearly as selfish as the one TO whom they
byra and allowed
five important cities and forts to fall into the hands
of the Austrians, for tie purpose of driving the
| Venetians into his kingdom, when lie had under
his command the Italian forces from all the Italian
| States, and WIS much bound 20 provide for the
! security of one State as another. He appears to
IA TO have forfeited his honor; but circumstances
| hereafter TO be developed, may relieve HIM from
| his present position b, fore the world. For man
who bee la So Ell. il is lamentable that he should
have dom aayihing 10 justify the censure now
heaped upon head, and to all appearances very
| justly Correspondence ". !. Herald
