RrMoRED SEIZURE OF SECRET ExrEpI-
TON VEssELs.-The New York Courier,
Of Tuesday, has the following:
Rumors were current throughout the
city yesterday that one or more vessels had
been seized by the government authorities
for an alleged violation of our neutrality
laws, in conveying men and munitions of
war, intended to be used for the invasion
Of Cuba.
We understand that the Union had sail
ed for some southern port contiguous 10
Cuba, with number of men on Loard,
who had teen enlisted IN this illegal er-
vice, and that they were supplied with
arms, &c. We did not learn that she had
been detained.
1t is said, however, that another vessel,
named the Sea Gnll, d. stined for kuracoa,
and heavily ladened with guns, powder,
&c, had been detained, and that an inv-s-
tlsatlon was going on under the direction
Of some one of the United States authori-
ties in this city. What was the result of
this inquiry, or whether it las been con-
cluded, we do not know.
If this report be we'll founded though
We confess we have it from no official
source it proves that the proclamation of
the President was timely and necessary.
Probably more information in regard to
the matter will be ELECTED during the dav.
AGR1crLTrRAL CHEMIST. - We learn
from the Worcester (Md.) Shield, that Dr..
Higgins, the State Agricultural Chemist,
CLOSED his labors in-that county on Monday
last.
He has been in the county for nearly
seven weeks, during which tine he has
been constantly engaged in analyzing ma
ny varieties Of soil. His lectures have
been heard with great attention hv the ag-
rlcu.turlsts of that section. The Shield
says: Gle operates next IN Cecil county,
and then in Somerset when he will have
finished his labors, as far as the lame law
under which he is acting, will allow upon
the Eastern Shore OF the State"
