A NEW CAPTAIN GENERAL IN CUBA.-The news
received in Cuba, by way Of the United States, of
reported change in the administration of that isl
and, by the appointment Of the Condo Mirasol, APP
pears to crafty the people there. They have no
direct intelligence confrmatory Of the report. but
it is thought to be probable, from the known desire
of the Condo TO attain the place, and the rumors
which had previously been circulated that he had
obtained it,
The report, via the United States, was that Sr.
Serrano had been appointed "Goyernor of Madrid,
vice the Condo Mirasol, who was to proceed imme
diately 10 Cuba, in company with two generals.
one colonel and empleado, of the Real Hacienda,
on an important mission"
One version is, that after executing delicate
duty in the nature OF investigating the state of af
fairs in the island, the Condo was to proceed to
Washington. But the latest letters from Havana
express the belief that he is to supersede Roncal
The Condo Mirasol was formerly Inspector Gen
eral of the troops in Cuba, by which he was second
in command to the governor, and his legal success
in case Of death, sc. He subsequently
Captain General of the Island of Porto Rico whence
he went to Spain, and was made Governor of Ma

temperament, but has high reputation as an hon
orable gentleman. His wife educated in Eng
land, and both were highly popular in Porto Rico.
The Cubans would be glad, on these accounts, to
receive him.-Neio Orleans Picayune.

Three papers lin Spanish) presented yesterday
by Commodore Perry, and directed to be translated
by Professor Giraul, of the naval school, were re-

be placed upon the record of proceedings of the
court, that he might prove them to be "false and

We observe II stated that chloroform has been
employed in Edinburgh in from $4,000 to l00, 900
cases without single accident or bad effect ofany
kind traceable TO its Mr.. Carmichael, a sur
geon of that city, commenting on the fact, says I;
" Would $4,000 or 100000 full doses Of opium, or
anthony, or EPSON salts, any other potent
medicine, have been followed with great impu-
nityl" Chloroform is now habitually used in Ed
inburgh in all kinds Of surgical operations, down
to tooth drawing IL saves many lives which 9TH
erwise would sink under the nervous shock which
Is experienced from a operation undergone
in state Of consciousness. Such is the published
opinion Of the dscovercr ofits anmsthetic,
the now celebrated DR.. James Y. Simpson and
this opinion has not been gainsayed by any Of the
profession in Edinburgh. At the same time, chic
reform has received the sanction and recommends
ton Of the most authoritative bodies in France and
the United States. Nevertheless, the public of
London is almost wholly denied the vast benefits Of
this agent, purely through the prejudices of the
profession. This forms a. curious illustration of
the condition OF medicine and of the medical mind
in the metropolis, but IL is not a new one.
Not only is there distasto amongst scientific
men in England for every thing that comes from
the north, but there is general bcnightcdncss
in the London medical world. They opposed vac
cinaton while il was embraced in the provinces,
and 20 the indelibe disgrace Of all concerned i'm
oculation with small -pox maintained ts ground in
London hospital devoted 10 the purpose quarter
OF a century after Jenner's discovery. The London
public should take this matter into their own hands.
Let them not be too ready 10 lay stress upon
counts Of fatal effects from chloroform. OF such
there have been few; but IL is remarkable that in
Edinburgh where the article is prepared in perfect
purity, with the benefit Of rs-rate apparatus, and
where II is administered with judgment and due
care, not one accident has happened Even admit
ting that the accidents which have happened else
where were not avoidable by any degree OF care,
they should be placed beside the lives which have
been saved by the special use of this agent. TAX
ing the matter ON still lower ground the rejection
OF chloroform because Of few fatal cases s no more
rational than II would be TO refuse TO travel by rail-
ways because one person in several millions has
been killed by collision. = Chambers's Journal.
