We learn that brig, supposed to be attached to
an expedition fitting out in this port for the inva
sion OF ST. Domingo or Hayti, was seized yes
terday morning by the government officers.
This vessel, the Kate Boyd has been advertised
as loading for Port an Prince. Suspicious having
been aroused in regard to her cargo and the inten-
lions OF those going out in her, she was watched,
and, after the receipt of some powder and other
munitions of war, was sliced. Before, however.
this step was taken, information of the suspicion
entertained was telegraphed to Washington, when
orders were received TO detsin her.
II is said that the authorities have their eve upon
another vessel.
Thus Hayt, and every other place anticipating
an invasion, may be perfectly at ease. The whole
business has ended, as we supposed il would and
maintained it would; and it is a happy thing for
this country that it has so terminated A success
ful expedition against Cuba would have plunged us
INTO inextricable difficulties. The smoke has ap-
peared, and, luckily, is completely dispersed,
30 that people may see with their own eyes The
farce is ended, and the orisnators aud abettors OF
1t are covered with confusion and modification.
We can now turn to California and Congress our
whole attention, besides seeing how the cabinet
are 10 get out of the Cuban ontngences-of which
we may expect not few.

HE EXAMINATION OF ONE. EYED Thomson, ON
THE TORPEDO CIIARoE.-The report of the second
days examination in this curious case, before JUS
nce Osborne, will be found at length elsewhere.
The evidence seems to be abundant and strong in
favor OF sending the whole affair 10 the Grand
Jury. Much stronger testimony, however, can be
brought out from Young Drury, if the public pro-
secntcr chooses to do his duty like man. There
seems TO be languor and relaxation in the course Of
Assistant Attorney Phillips. He does not show so
much life in receiving and discovering evidence in
this case, as he can do in receiving gold watch
or in discovering the exact time of day. Why
Goes not the District Attorney himself, at least
his upper assistant, Mr. Graham, take hand in
the business? Was not Mr.. Graham especially APP
pointed, and will he not be paid for his assistance
in this torpedo businessl Call up Young Drury--
and let there be full light on the matter.

The BENEFIT OF MIR. BAss--There ought to be
outpouring Of all the taste in the upper part Of
the city tonight, in honor to Mr.. Bass, of the AS
tor Place Theatre. MIR. Bass has made two Of the
best literary speeches, at two public dinners has
performed admirably throughout the whole season;
has manfully braved misfortune after being wreck
ed at the South, losing everything; has lost great
deal Of money, in endeavoring TO establish dispo-
sition for the higher style of the drama; and all
this, within a few months These are trivial con-
siderations compared with his merits, which alone
should fill the house in every part. Send up your
dollars, and gladden. the heart Of veteran. Let
us all go.
