CUBA.
From the Spanish Of Jose Maria Heedia,

BY JAMES KENNEDY.
Fair land of Cuba on thy shores are seen
LIES far extremes Of noble and of mean
The world of sense in matches beauty dressed,
And nameless horrors hid within thy breast.
Ordained of Heaven the fairest flower of earth,
False to thy gifts, and reckless of thy birth
The tyrant's clamor, and the slaves sad cry,
With the sharp lash in insoent reply
Such are the sounds that echo on thy plains,
While virtue faints and vice unbushing relgns'
Rise, and TO power daring heart oppose
Confront with death these worse than death hk
woes
Unfailng vaor chains the flying hte;
Who dares TO die shall win the conqueror's state
We too, can leave glory and name
Our children's children shall not blush TO claim;
To the next future let us turn our eyes,
And up TO Gods still unpolluted skies,
Better 10 bare the breast. and, undismayed,
Meet the sharp vengeance of the hostile blade,
Than on the couch of helpless grief to lie,
And in one death thousand deaths 10 die
Fearest thou blood Oh, better in the strife
From patriot wounds TO pour the gushing life,
Than let il creep inglorious through the veins,
Benumbed by sin, and agony, and chains
What hast thou, Cuban? Life itself resign
Thy very grave is insecurity thine
Thy blood, thy treasure, poured like tropic rain
From tyrant hands 10 feed the soil of Spain.
If il be truth that nations still must bear
The crushing yoke, the wasting letters wear;
If TO the people this be Heavens decree,
To clasp their shame, struggle to be free,
From truth go base my heart indignant turns
That rage which ruled the Romans soul of fire,
And filled thy heart, Columbias patriot sire
Cuba, thou still shalt rise, pure as bright
AS thy free air--as full of living light;
Free as the waves that foam around thy strands,
Kissing thy shores, and curling DER thy sands

Analogous gifts to the public were made
indeed by DR.. White, rector OF st. Dun
STAINS, in 1886, and by DR.. Williams, also
an inhabitant of the city, in l716. The
former is preserved for the benefit OF the
select few at Sion College, London-wall !;
and the latter is somewhat less reservedly
maintained in Red Cross street. In some
half dozen Cathedral cities are to be found
diminishing remains of topographic wis
dom, consisting chiefly of divinity or scho-
lastic works.
While thus insignificant are the public
Libraries of Great Britain, we learn from
the evidence in the report, that Denmark
contains 5 open Libraries; Saxony, 6;
Tuscany, 8; Belgium, IA; Bavaria, II
Prussia, "A; Austria, 4S; and France,

In the United States the foundations of

HuSoARY-The general belief throughout the
continent IL, that the Hungarian general surren-
dered, with his army, 10 PaskieVltch, on pledge
being given by the Russian commander that hi
master the Gar would guaranty the independence
Of Hungary. Should this Be the cNplication OF the
enigIna-snd il IL very natural one, for the Hun
vaTans in disgust Of Austria, have. lattcrly been
not unwilling 70 fling themselves into the arms u
Russia-then will this power have achieved a very
great stride towards that universal empire, welded
either de focto or by influence, which Napoleon
foretold 20 Europe. Such a conclusion Of the war
places Hungary in the same position with the other
Danubian principslities, which remain each Of them
under the nominal sovereignty Of one power, but
under the real sovereignty 81 another. Naliachia
and ModsviA belong 20 the Porte, yet We have seen
in this campaign Russia treating them altogether

use Of their men and money towards the reduction
of Hungary. Servis some time since has passed
from looking in any way - Austria, and 70 total
dependence on Russia. Aud Hungary may nov be-
considered another Of those Danubian prncipalitcs

announced that his holiness the pope, and ms ma

these distinguished monarchs reached the deck Of
the Constitution, and received with saiutes Of
twenty-one guns each; the yards were manned, the

appropriate air. The king inspected minuteiy every

brilliant staff, and expressed himself in terms o.
high satisfaction.
