TO the Editors Of The American Telegraph
GENTLgaEx: / hasten to inform you that an
arrangement has been made with the clerk Of
the weather to procure the better regulation of
our moonlight The keeper Of the moon has
but very seldom left his nightly duty undone,
by either neglecting to light the orb, or by
hiding 1t behind distractions in the atmosphere;
especially hath he done this upon those nights
on which the oity fathers deem il prudent not
to light the street lamps. Now, jemphatically
object to it. Ii is an axiom with the world
that the growing generation is wiser than those
which have preceded it. Hence, if our body
polite, as the result Of observation and ex-
perience, insist that the gas must burn on such
and such nights, and that the moon must give
| its light on such and such other nights, the
moon-keeper, when he refuses to let her light 50
shine, assumes wisdom which does not belong
TO the date of his generation. However, the
clerk Of the weather has consented to regulate
the moon, and cause it to obey the scriptural
intention, by giving its light at night while the
sun giyeth his by day. He has promised to
introduce new cloud machine, that will keep
the track of the moon entirely clear of yapor ;
but viii have one or two small clouds on hand
with which to obscure the moons visage, for
the better display of fireworks, &C. This ar
rangement will take effect from and after the
lst of July. The thanks of the community are
due to the clerk of the weather for his kindness
in asserting to the plan. He did so readily,
when he was told that the corporation did not
think themselves pecuniarily able to provide
safeguards, in the shape of lamps, against

CuBA.-The " Intendente" is an officer Of
great Importance in the government Of Cuba.
He has more power than our Secretary Of the
Treasury, and to him the government looks for
the means-to be raised in some way-when
wanted for ordinary and extra occasions The
present incumbent, Count Villanueva, who is
about to leave Havana for Spain, quits Office
contrary to the urgent wishes of the Ministry,
and we learn that they will not probably name
a successor until he arrives in Spain, in the
hope Of inducing him 10 return The fact that
such government that Of SPAIN notorious
for its crowd Of hungry " hsngers-on" az the
Treasury skirts, urges an officer seyenty-hve
years old to retain his post, is full Of meaning
The reasons he gives for retiring are plausible,
viz age, and his wife's declining health but,
IL is SAID, that he despaired of being able to
meet the incessant demands Of the mother
country, and the increased expenses Of the mil
itary in Cuba, without such an increase of taxes
as would be insupportable. 1t is said that he was
opposed to the policy of sending the last troops to
Cuba from Spain z, 900 last fall, on the ground
that, If the people were loyal, there were al
ready troops enough, and if they were not
loyal, FIVE times as many would not avail; and
that the expense ,cas more Than The island could
bear. II is said the treasury is quite bare by
the operation Of that measure. 1850, 900 were
spent in bringing om the troops, ordnance, &C.,
and nearly q million and half in distributing
them about the island creating magazines of
provisions, arms, powder, &c, in different
places, to protect the island from the threat
ened invasion. The Count complains that these
measures, adopted against his advice, founded
upon an experience Of half century among
the people, twenty-five years in office,) have
exhausted the treasury, and that he will no
longer bear the responsibility Of its direction.
The office is left in charge Of - Ventades,
who for some years has filed a subordinate post
in the department What his abilities are re-
mains to be seen.--N y. Journal Of Commerce.
