The Thrasher Letter.

The Havana correspondent Of the Pic0yuns
under date Of the 29th, says:
An appeal from Thrasher 10 his countrymen
will reach your city by this steamer. The hur.
ried composition Of the document was doubtless
the cause Of its not being even more forcible
than Il IL. Immediately upon receiving off ial
notification Of the sentence, Thrasher wrote
three copies Of the appeal, trusting that one at
least might escape the vigilance Of the seniries.
which he knew would be placed upon tie graf.
ing which closes the only opening into the cell
where be was confined.
DC copy was purposely allowed 10 fall into
the hands Of the authorities, with view Of rem
dering then, less vigilant. The Others escaped
the eyes Of the sentrics at the grating, and those
at the gat Of the FORT Onc Of them is Enown
to be safe, and will go by the Georgia to your
city. The other is believed TO be on j way by
another route. | should rejoice TO witness thr
surprise Of the captain general, when he sees in
print the document which he believes 10 be safe
in his office.

For all those widows of revolutionary officers

The True Delta, Of yesterday, is under the i'm
preston that 1t is merely "rumor" that the
Blanche is to be prosecuted. We have authority
Tor saying she has been, and for tolerable round
penalty, viz; forfeiture OF ship and fine Of about
five thousand dollars against the master.
The District Attorney only act upon infor-
nation furnished him by the Collector, and we
know Mr. Freret will not shrink from any respon-
sibility--he will furnish the information to the
District Atsorney in every case, and the District
Attorney will prosecute. British influence cannot
intimidate him. We believe he is the only Col
lector that has attempted to enforce the law.
The tonnage of the Blanche, by British measure
ment is nine hundred and sxty-fve by American
eight hundred and sixty-three; but this is OF nc
moment--the allowance of passengers is regulated
by superficial feet. The old law quoted by the
True Delta was repealed on the 23d May, lS4s.
The law Of 1919 allowed two for every five tons
now each passenger is allowed sixteen superficial
feet. The ship reported at the Customhouse foui
hundred and ninety-seven souls as passengers we
understand that the measuring officer reports her
capacity at three hundred and eighty-six passen-
gers, which, with an allowance OF twenty seven
ior infants, makes the excess over and above the
law, eighty-iour passengers. The penalty, as pro-
vided by the act Of ls4s, is fifty dollars for each
PASSENGER and forfeiture Of the ship. There is
a'So nsaVy penalty for violation of other sec
n'ns--h regard TO ventilation and proper accom-.
'"oeaAohs' The Captain has been prosecuted on
| each section.
Inc True Delta remarks, that the law is strin,
gent and just, but that does not always weigh
with those whose duty it is to administer it faith

Engagement, and the District Attorney who has
prosecuted.
We are pleased to see the public Press take hold
of this subject, and all we ask is that the officers Of
the Government may be allowed to go on in the
performance of their duty without any attempt Il
cast censure upon them, by even expressing a
doubt in regard to their carrying out the acts Of
