IMPORTANT FROM CUBA.

Intelligence BY 1he Cherokee -Parsiculars
oftAe Massacre Of .4Mercan Patriots.
The New York papers have lengthy ac-
counts from Havana concerning the Lo-
peg expedition and the execution Of the
prisoners. 1t ltappears that Lopez landed
on the 18th with about 200 men. and was
instantly joined by the people of the sur
rounding country. Two accounts are Civ
en- Of his subsequent movements and the
capture Of the forty Americans. The gov
ernment account states that Lopez on
landing. sent a letter to the inhabitants Of
Posas, threatening them with extermina-
tion unless they aided him. Subsequent
~ fight occurred between the Spaniards
and the patriots. in which the former suf-
fered severe loss. On the 18th. the pa
triots attempted to re-embark at Cubanos.
but were prevented by the Spanish, and
an engagement ensue3, in which the for
mer were entirely routed. and dispersed
into the mountains back Of Bahia Honda.
A portion attempted to escape in the boats
and this was the party that was captured
and executed. The other account is wide
ly different. 1t states that engagements
took place on the 18th. in which the
SPaniards we're thrice defeated with great
loss; and that on the 18th the patriots
moved towards Diego Nuncz and Cuban
os. with the view of taking the fort at the
latter place. Some fifty endeavored to
get there by sea, and these were captured
by the Habaneros. Neither Of these ac-
counts is precise as to the whereabouts Of
Lopez. The particulars Of the executions
ut Havana are thus given: Twelve men
were brought out aud six ordered to knecl,
who were shot in that position. The
other six were then commanded to walk
around their dead comrades, and kneeling
opposite them were also shot. They wore
their uniform consisting Of blouses and
straw hats.

TnR GEEAr RAILWAY IN EeYPr.-The
viceroy has made final arrangements for
the construction Of a railway between Cairo
and Alexandria, and has signed an agree
ment for that purpose with Mr. Borth-
wick. now in Egypt, on the part Of Mr.
Robert Stephenson. Mr. Brothwick in
tends returning TO England. to send out a
staff Of engineers to commence operations
forthwith. This undertaking will confer
inestimable advantages on Egypt by bring
ing forth the resources Of the country, be-
sides facilitating the transit of passengers
and merchandise to and from India. 1t is
calculated that the line will be completed
in about two years and half. The whole
length will be about $50 miles. and it will
cross the Nile at the barrage, where 4
substantial bridge is already nearly finish
ed having been made by French engineers
with the object Of damning the Nile for
the better irrigation of the land-an at
tempt ;n which they have signally failed
after having spent an immense amount of
money.

ABOLITION CouRTEsY.-A notable in
stance Of abolition courtesy to Southern
merchants occurred recently in the famous
'.Athens Of America "A gentleman
shoes. While examining the merchants
stock and discussing the terms Of the con-
tract. he was insulted by the merchant in
the most unprovokcd and outrageous
manner. OF course, being a Southern
gentleman, he knocked the Yankee down.
But the Yankee was not to be flogged for
nothing.-He caused the Southern gentle
man to be arrested and bound to keep the
peace in the penalty Of $4,000. and he
also broughta private action against him
for damages by assault and battery. Such
is the price we OF the South pay for the
privilege Of trading with the Yankees.
