The Washington correspondent Of the Bal
timore Patriot says, the dispatches received
at the State Department, from Havana, by
the steamer Ohio, are highly important.
The Cuban authorities will detain the
Contoy prisoners for formal trial. 1t is said
that they are backed in this determination
by the English government.
Whether the United States can interfere
to prevent their trial, is questionable. l! is
understood. however, lha. there are to be
no executions in any event; and it would
seem from this that the trial was to take place
for the purpose Of bringing ou. all the facts,
rather than for any other object. No seri-
Gus misunderstanding exists between the
Cuban authorities and our government.

FALsTAFF.-Mr. Giles, at the close of
his lecture upon Fals'af1, eloquen.ly "points
a moral" by the following picture of the
las. days Of the fat, funny, and sack-loving
old knight
What mournful condition of humanity
is presented to us in the debasement of tai
ent to the appe'ites! Behold in the picture
Sc, before US in Fals,aff. Look at that grey
headed, grey-bearded old man, lolling,
bloa,ed on the dregs Of life; the desires in
saiiate as strength declines; the senses gross,
while brilliant imagination floats in radi-
ance over them, as the sun upon morass :;
abilities which might have exalted empires,
devoted to the cooking Of capon, or the
merits Of sack posse.; eloquence and vii,
lavished upon blackguards; law, honor,
courage, chastity, made jest. Laugh, it is
true, you must; blu. when you have laugh
ed turn back and think and after thinking,
you will ADM, that tragedy itself has not
any thing more sad.

LIGHTNING.-So long as lightning is oc-
casioned merely by the action of two clouds,
no. the slightest danger is to be apprehend-
ed. Thunder, being only report, is per-
fectly harmless a, all times. But when the
electricity comes within the attraction of
the earth, either by cloud crossing over
lofty mountain or sinking near the earth S
surface, i. passes down from the cloud to the
earth, sometimes rolling along like large
ball, clearing out of its way everything that
offers resistance 10 il; thus it will often tear
up trees, set houses OH fire, and even destroy
animal life, should it impede its progress
This ball is liquid in state Of fusion, and
not las has been supposed by some persons
unacquainted with the SCIENCE metallic
substance called ,hunderbolt. There are
metallic substances sometimes precipilaed
from the air these are termed aeroli,es, and
have nothing to do With the electricity of
storms. As soon as the clouds dispense,
which is usually after vivid flash of light
ming and very loud clap Of thunder, the
rain descends, the electrical power is de-
stroyed, and the storm ceases. Although
storms arise from what may be called the
accidents of nature, they are of great impor-
tance as an effort of nature, by which the
atmosphere is cleared of all those impuri-
ties it imbibes from the earth and notwi,h-
standing their dangerous tendencies and the
terrors to which they give rise, they are
productive of advantage Sharp's London

SURGICAL OpEfATiISotN,-. lesmerism.-
Dr.. Goats of Batavia performed surgical
operation on Tuesday the ll,h inst, at
Barre Centre, upon Mrs. Royal B. Hubbard,
removing almost the entire right breast, Mrs.
H was mesmerised several days in success
sion BY J. d. Buckland, Esq, Of tina, place,
preparatory to the operation. She was not
informed Of the day when il would take
place. On the day Of the operation she was
mesmerized as usual by Mr.. B. without any
knowledge that the operation was then to
be performed. Mrs. Hubbard was entirely
unconscious during the space of three hours,
The operation lasting abou, one hour, dur
ing which time, and while the blood vessels
were being taken up, she seemed TO faint or
swoon for time, but soon recovered and
remained as before. She arose and walked
10 the bed after the operation and lay I'M
der the mesmeric influence for about an
hour during which time the organ of tune
being excited, she sang verse of The "Grave
of Washington" with Mr.. Buckland, which
she could no, have done in the natural state,
for wan. of familiarity with the piece. On
being awoke she pleasantly remarked to
her sister who was present, Chow foolish |
always feel when ] come out of the mes
meric state," and no, until she saw her
friends about her was she conscious of what
had taken place. On being asked if she had
any knowledge or suffered any pain during
the operation, she remarked that she had no
knowledge of anything that had taken place
since she took her seat to be mesmerzed."

The GAIN OF ADvERTIsING-The in
creasing demand for newspapers, and in con-
nexicn with il, the extension of advertising,
is working a great advantage in business,
especially among retailers. Thirty years
ego, says contemporary, store once es-
tablished, was sure TO keep its custom, I'M
less its proprietor recklessly and blindly
neglected his affairs, bu. now no establish
meni, however popular, can retain its pa
uonage unless it advertise, and advertise ex-
tensively. This is as it should be. Peo-
pie, instead of running up and down to hunt
an article they may happen to desire, have
now only to glance over the columns of the
paper and learn at once where their wants
can be supplIed.-Profts, too, are less in
consequence Of the competition; and hence
the public is supplied cheaper than former
ly. A retailer who wishes. to make for
tune now, must expect to sell twenty thou
sand dollars worth of goods where he used
TO sell five or six thousand, and to make
but one quarter the profits he did before
He cannot continue the old prices without
losing his custom. His only chance to out
strip his neighbors is to advertise to adj
vertise extensively and continually. l, is
useless for him to complain of this, as some
do, who cannot understand the times.-He
mus, adapt himself to circumstances, or hi
will, sooner or later, be insolvent. He has
indeed, but one thing to do: and that, vjgo
rously persisted in, will make him rich j
