told that he shall have another ship aud
directed to run the Frankln ashore on
her return passage. These letters have
been placed in the possession Of the un-

Mr. Gratis has been arrested and gwen

Mr Wilson cannot be

made.
The rumors have caused great sensa-

run ashore designcdly the captain has
dearly paid for hts part Of the deed. The
fact that the captain preserved the letters
is urged as an argument in isvor Of his
innocence. Time will undoubtedly mako

Cuba..--The Movement for independence.

The ". o. Delta gives the following
extract of letter from Cuba, under date
of Oct. II.
'sThe patriots here are fast recovering
from the depression and encouragement
occasioned by the proclamation OF the hero
of Buena Vista, and by the measures OF
excessive rigor adopted by his cabinet to
deprive us of the assistance of our friends
on the Continent. Many, who before the
late events had not given thought to the
subject of Independence, or who doubted
its feasibility, have been brought, by the
action of the American Government and
by the alarm caused to our authorities by
the Round Islanders, 10 reflect seriously
upon the matter, to discuss 1t with their
friends, and TO examine the competency OF
the means proposed 10 achieve the ends
desired. The consequence has been a
better understanding among ourselves and
an increased confidence in our ultimate
success. So you may rely upon it, the
good spirit is abroad again through the
land-the spirit of independence and Lib
erty! Itpervedes all classes and has crept
even into The very ranks of the army
The Havana Regiment, lately sent by
Roncali to Puerto Principe to fight the
much dreaded Round Islanders, revolted
against heir officers and threatened them
with death. The revolt commenced with
shouts of 'sLiberty and Gen. Lopez. -
The Captain General not daring in the
present critical situation of affairs, to visit
the Regiment with all the severity of mil
itary law, has divided them into four parts
and sent them off to distant and separate
stations.
"The persecution of the Creoles suspec-
ted of disafection has commenced or rath-
er resumed its accustomed course. There
are two prosecutions for conspiracy now
going on in Trinidad and in Matanzas.-
The accused are numerous. Many 9TH
ers are now in jail for the same offence.
[ will keep you advised of whatever may
turn up worthy of publication.
! ga new spy was sent out from here TO
| New York by the steamer Ohio, and an
other is ready to be shipped to New Or
| leans by the return of the same steamer.
| The mission of these foul wretches is TO
follow all the movements of the most prom
inent of the Cuban patriots in the United
States, and to ascertain how and with
whom they correspond here. The Gu
bans, fortunately, have been warned in
time by their friends here. These spies
have been selected from high life, the bet
ter to lull suspicion and enable them to
! penetrate into every circle.

ken was printer by profession, and for
several years was the editor of the Belle

became well known throughout the state
as an active politician. He had been a
member of the House of Representatives,
member of the Senate, and Deputy Sec
retary of the Commonwealth, during the
administration of Governors Porter and
Skunk. At the time of his death he was

The rapidly increasing commercial busi-

MIA has long demanded the establishment
of an institution of this kind, through the
agency of which our merchants and other
business men have an easy facility OF
transmitting money and of obtaining such
other accommodation as the nature OF
their business frequently requires. And
we can assure our friends that ibis Agency

New York Election.

In relation to the election in New York
the wings, as usual, began growing before
they were "out Of the woods" When
the smoke of the contest has cleared away,
and true stale of the case ascertained it
is found that they have nothing to boast
OF, and that they are principally indebted
10 their "colored bredern'' of the city of
New y ork, twelve hundred of whom vo-
ted the whig ticket in body, for their
partial victory. There have been four
democrats and four wings elected to State
offices. The Legislature is tie on joint
ballot. In the Senate, there are fifteen
democrats and seventeen wings. In the
Assembly, there are sinty-fve democrats
and sixty-three wings. So the result is a
tie all round.

Death OF Judge Huston,

Hon. Charles Huston died at BeIlefonte
on the 10th inst, in the s0th year of his
age. He was early distinguished for his
eminent legal abilities, and in his death the
Bar of Pennsylvania has lost ore of its
brightest ornaments. In 1918 he was ap-
pointed by Governor Findlap President
Judge of the 4th Judicial District, and in
1926 Gov. Shuttle appointed him one of
the Justices of the Supreme Court of Penn
sylvania, which office he filled until Is45.
when his commission expired. During
the last four years of his life he was chief
ly engaged in preparing for the press his
late work on the Land Titles of Pennsvl-
vania. "Few men, say a writer in the
Centre Democrat, shave experienced more
physical suffering, and few men have
lived more industrious, useful ane labo-
rious life
