Summary Of the Latest Intelligence.

By a despatch, published under the usual head
Il will be seen that the United States steamer
Ssranac left Norfolk on the twenty-sixth instant,
for Cuba, having on board an agent from the go
mt, whose duty it is TO inquire into the ex-
esusion of the ffty-two Americans at Havana,
short time since This is right, but We should like
10 see strong force there.
We also learn by telegraph, that two steamers
The Fanny and the Alabama, filed with armed men,
left on the evening fthe twentysecond instant for
Csba. II was reported some days since, that two
steamers had gone to the place Of destination,
but ii premature. report was current, yes.
terday, that the Anglo Saxon and the Anglo Nor
nap-two steamers usually employed in towing
vessels from the Belize to New Orleans, had been
taken into service, by the patriots but have the
best reasons to doubt its truth.
1t is supposed that the Pampero, after having
take n on board General Gonzales, and the patriot
allies in Florida and Georgia, will land them on
che eastern part Of the island Of Cuba. AS the
government troops at the other end of the
island, attending to General Lopez's movements,
If he has held out so long, little resistance, it is
antic; pated, will be offered to General Gonzales
General Gonzales is a native Cuban, of talent and
eds sation, and Of wealthy and influential family.
The item of news from Bridgeport, of a parson
denouneiDg an organist for playing interludes
during psalm singing in church, as being impous,
when considered in juxtaposition with the tibpstco
affairs, appears quite interesting. This is a great
country, to all intents and purposes
In a political shape, we have the wing and demo-
uas, county meetings at Lancaster, Pa, at the
iatter Of which the Hon. James Buchanan made a
speech in which he appears sangune Of the success
Of his party. The wings of Boston have also held
a meeting, in which they declared Themselves in
favor of Secretary Webster, above all others, for
che Presidency.

FANArIcIsM IN THE PULPTr-In another part of
to- days Herald we publish letter giving an ac-
count Of an extraordinary occurrence which re-
Gently took place in certain church in Bridge
port, Connecticut. II appears that the regular
organist Of the Church was necessarily absent on
last sabbath, but before leaving town he arranged
with profession al gentleman of his acquaintance
to fill his place on that day. The seryi,es com.
menced usual, and every thing went on smoothly,
until the organist commenced playing interludes
between the verses Of the hymns, ~ is the custom
in most, if not all churches. The pars,n was
shocked at the impiety Of playing the interludes,
and malested it by getting up and making
speech in denunclation Of the organ st, for commit
ting such daring act of impiety. The remarks
which this very reverend gentleman made on the
occasion, are represented as so severe and intern
perate, that all the choir, with the excep ion Of
four persons, left the church. We wonder that the
congreg cation did not do the same. We further
learn that the clergyman enjsined his congre-
cation not to attend communion unless they would
refrain from celebrating the Fourth Of July, and
that be refused the use Of his church for temper
ance lecture, on the simple ground that the lee
turer did not belong to the same persuasion Of
which be is member.
1t Is scarcely credible, that in this enlightened
age ard in this enlightened country, such an oc-
currtnee as We have referred to could take place.
Strange and unsccountable as it may seem, it did,
and that too, in Bridgeport within few hours ride
Of the commercial emporium Of the western conti-
nsnt II is hardly necessary for to say that such
intolerance and fanatcism this lie not religion,
or piety. We wonder If the reverend gentle
man could give reason for his antpathy to in
terludes by the orgarst, bis aversion to Fourth Of
July celebrations, and to temperance lectures, IL
they are not delivered by one Of his IN per-
suasion. We think il would puzzle him to find
one any where but in his own brain. This pud-
tansm intolerance and sectarian fanaticsm Injuries
the cause Of religion in one year more than host
Of infdel writers could in half century The con-
gregation over which this minister presidss, how.
ever, have the matter in their own hands. II APP
pears that before the introduction ofthe organ into
this church, the choir we're accompanied by vio-
linist and fuiist. We wonder IL this clergyman
found fault with the for for lightning his cat gut
on any occasion during service. We would infer
that he would not overlook such a horrible a, IT Of
inpiety. We thought the race Of clereymen to
which Mr.. Hewitt belongs-those who
