ARRIVAL OF THE FALooN.-Bv the arrival Of
this steamer we have received from Havana
files OF papers up to the 10Th inst. We append all
that find in them of general interest.
The news of the arrival in this city of Gen.
Quitman and his resignation of his gubernatorlal
office, seems to have created no interest in Havana.
The facts are merely stated in the Diayio de Ia Ma
Yt1a, without word of comment.
Both La PrenSa and the Diario de la Marina,
say that Barnum has contracted engagement
with Savi, the tenor singer, who will leave Havana
on the 2Sth inst for the United States, in srder to
hereafter sing with Jenny Lind.
The troops sent from Cadz in the ship of war
Jason, have arrived at Villa Clara, to which place
they were destined The Eco in noticing this fact,
remarks that "Va Clara is situated advanta-
peousIy in the centre of the island and, considered
in military point Of view, it is without doubt a
most convenient point for all classes Of operations
Besides, it is unsurpassed for the mildness of the
climate, and the sanitary qualities OF its waters
These powerful reasons are OF themselves sufh-
cient cause why the military body should be in
creased. In this acquisition we besides rejoice
because the advantages OF stationary troop the
mind OF the people, is well understood and ad
mitted."
The Italian company in Havana, are re
hearsing Robert lie Diable." The Ravels, too
still remain and are amusing the Ha5aneros.

FIRST LESSONS IN BOTANY.
This IL the title of neat little book, well printed
and handsomely illustrated with wood cuts, de-
signed for the use of young beginners, in the study
of Botany.
The pleasure derived from the contemplation of
the external beauties, the colors and forms Of
flowers and plants, is infinitely enhanced by an ac-
quantance with their structure and the admirable
adaptation of their several parts to each other, and
the great number and variety of objects every
where presented, ef1ectualiy prevents the student
from growing weary with The pursuit. The study
Of Botany tends, in high degree, TO improve the
| observation, strengthen the memory aud exercise
| the Judgment. The vast number and variety of
facts to be observed and classified in order to be
retained, creates habit of mental activity, analy
sis and order that is invaluable to the possessor in
| the ordinary avocations of life. While the study
of Botany, land Natural History generality thus
serves discipline the Intellectual faculties Of the
| pupil it tends to elevate his moral character and
insensibly leads him from the contemplation Of the
creature to the Creator, to Lock through Nature
up to Nalnre's Cod
The arrangement adopted in the first lessons, is
that of the Lnnean system, decidedly the best for
young beginners, on account Of its simplicity and
clearness, and although it is confessedly artificial
IN the man, YET III Is evident ttt many or tne grea
natural families of plants preserved under it
nearly entire. From the study of these, the trans
ton is easy, to such as are only artfciay asso
ciated
We are Of opinion that an elementary course o
Botany might be pursued in our schools, withou
in the least interfering with the important matter
which the attention of the pupil is at present ex
clusivey directed.

Through the mail which was brought by the

Der 2Sth, being later than have heretofore come to
hand. The dates from San Francisco are no later

new steamer the Lot Whlcomb, was launched
at Milwaukee on Christmas day. deep gloom
was cast over the multitude assembled on the occa-
sion, by the bursting OF cannon, by which Capt.
Frederick Morse, OF the schooner Merchantmen,
instantly killed.
The Masonic fraternity at Portland celebrated st.

ExEcur1oN-The St. Louis Integencer of the
18th says:
John Thomas, the murderer OF a soldier named
Stevens, near Jefferson Barracks, last spring, wa
hung agreeable to sentence, upon Duncan's Island
yesterday. The condemned man taken from
the County jail at few minutes after twelve
O'clock and reached the place of execution abou
one p. NJ, accompanied by the whole police fore,
OF the city, and a strong guard of German ORA
goons. Alter the reading OF the death warran
and few moments conversation with his sPlriua
adviser, the Rev. Father Paris, Thomas mounted
the platform, and in firm and distinct tone, ad
dressed the throng before him as follows;
60 Ny fellow-citizens and riends-l bid You al
good bye; | die agreeable to the will of the Law
and the will OF my Maker, into whose hands | com
mend my soul
The cap was then drawn his face, tn
rope adjusted, and the soul of the guilty ma
launched into eternity. A drop of five feet did no
break tile neck-the poor man died long and hard
There can be doubt OF Thomas guilt. Tn
testimony, although circumstantial, was strong an
conclusive. Even upon the gaows he made n
profession OF innocence confession OF guilt.
We hear it stated that his name, which is ne
Thomas was divulged only to Father Paris, wit
the strictest injuncions OF secrecy, His peopl
are said to reside in Boston. Thomas served lon
aud perhaps faithfully in the Mexican war cam
to this city during the winter OF '49 and so, an
said some time bar-keeper in drinking an
boarding house on North Market.
" From some unknowl cause he quilted his pos
and soon after killed Stevens the barracks,
order to possess himself of small sum of none
arrested the day he perperated the dee
whilst coming up Second street IN an omnibu
thrown into Jail, tried-having the benefit of goo
counsel-convicted, condemned and executed,
above stated"

A party of persons have for some days past been
industrously employed digging in lot at the Back
shore in search OF hidden treasures. So implicit is
their confidence of success, that previous to com
mencng they leased the lot and erected an en-
closure to prevent interruption from without and
have removed fifteen twenty feet of hard clay
and stones, baiing out the water which constantly
pours in upon them We believe they work day and
night, strong in the belief that when they reach
the level of the they will find an iron pot or

History OF THE TOBACCO MANUFAcToRY
IN FRANcE.-The traffic in Tobacco is a Govern
ment monopoly. 1t was commenced by Louis
XIV. in 1874, when he was engaged in that series
of wars which resulted so disastrously. He pro-
hib,ed its manufacture and SALE except by his per-
mission. This right farmed out for forty five
years. In Ills the revenue derived from it was
$500 900. In 1890 the sale of the privilege pro-
duced $6400,000. The year 1S49 will yield
81 100000. The price of cigars in Paris may be

eighteen feet water. A son of A. McFarlane, ten
years Of ags, broke through al the same moment,
but caught upon the edge of the ice. A gallant
little fellow only ten years of age, a son OF II X
Sanger, Esq OF that city, came their assistance,
but was told by young McFariane, who was cling
ing 10 the ice, =" not 10 mind him" but TO save
Hosmer," who had sunk ont of sight. At the i'm
minent peril OF his own life, he went TO the hole
and succeeded in reaching Hosmer just as he was
again sinking. Young McFarlane succeeded in
