CuBA..-A letter from Havana, of May l, pub.
lished in the New York Express, says:
"a Spanish subject, native of the Canary
Islands, named Oca, accused of employing pilots
for the Lopez expedition, has been condemned,
and suffered death by the 'garrotte on the
morning of the 9th ult. 1t seems that Oca Of
fered one of the coast pilots a sum Of money to
join the expedition. The pilot applied to a
friend of his, Creole, for advice; the Creole,
| wish | knew his name, Immediately informed
the Captain General of the fact. Oca was ar
rested, aud confessed the fact that he was in the
employ of Lopez, for the purpose of furnishing
pilots for the vessels of the expedition, and had
already sent three to New Orleans He was
Immediately condemned and executed. His
brother was imprisoned in the Cabanos, yester-
day. This probably is but the commencement
of series of judicial murders, which will only
have the effect of hurrying people to open re-
bellion who are already ripe for revolt. Lopez
is hourly expected; and it is stated that rooms
have been prepared in the Cabanos fortress for
the family of the Captain General, he intending
to take the field against the invaders. We are
informed by one Of the editors of the Union, a
Spanish paper at New Orleans, and politically
opposed to the Americans, in every way and
shape, that on the 18th, the number of men
already engaged for the expedition was about
twelve hundred and from three hundred to six
hundred men were daily looked for and their
arms consist of twelve hundred rifles, four can
mons of "a fb. caibre, revolvers, SC; and were
to sail between the oath and 30th ult. If this
information is correct, and it comes from re-
sponsible source, the expedition may be looked
for soon. Every preparation has been made to
guard against surprise"

ANOTHER PLAGUE IN LoNDoN.-Some Of the
English journals express apprehensions that the
immense concourse of strangers anticipated at
the Worlds Fair will be productive of another
great plague. We expect that there is much
more danger of a political plague than of any
other. With SO many Americans rubbing against
the Old-World people in every direction, we shah
not be surprised to see Democracy breaking out
in big spots all over Europe 1t is kind Of
plague that is much needed in that quarter.
Other epidemics have thinned out the people;
this one will thin out the kings. 1t is no use
struggling against it. The lancet and blue pin
will not always prove a preventive. Let the
disease once get hold Of the system, and we
defy mortal man to eradicate it.

MAY MORNING.
BY THOMAS i. poHouo.
This morning, from my city home,
Over the green fields straying,
met, all robed In dresses white,
The merry maidens Maying:
The merry maidens Maying,
And beau for every belle,
Who, like knight of the olden time,
Did guard his treasure well.
Their voices mingled sweetly,
And their artless laughter rose
And life TO them seemed sunny May
That would never, never close |! q sss.sa
Each proudly bore the prize Of flowers,
Still adorned with diamond dew;
Lovely and glad was all to see,
For the world to all was new.
And felt the influence beaming
Pleasantly over my heart,
And in all their joy and dreaming
took a willing part:
Returning again to childhood,
And the happiness of May
And the maiden, with sunny tresses,
My sweetheart all the way;
And the group beneath the blossoming trees,
And the crowning of the Queen,
And the feast and dance, and the lightsome song
That ever would rise between.
/ felt no longer old,
In the memory of those hours;
And stopped and gathered handful
Oflittle starry flowers.
1t is good to remember youth-time-
1t is good to go forth in May,
Crowning the soul with new-found flowers,
And bidding 1t still be gay!

An idea is daily gaining ground that lipe
cattle market will not be continued in or near
London. Certainly such market in the heart
of the metropolis will be done away with. 1t is
now a well-estab ablished fact that London is every
week receiving an increased quantity of meat
from the provinces, and a diminished proper
tion of live cattle. Carcases of meat are now
brought even from Aberdeen, Leith, &c. The
facilities for the transmission of the article are
every day increasing, and it has become a So
riously mooted question whether it would not
be wise to fall in with the course Of nature, and
encourage the tendency to procure the whole
