HYGEfA HoTRL,

more Patriot, whose letter we annex:
Correspondence Of the Baltimore Patriot.
HYGEfA Horst,
OLp PoINT COMFORT, August 80, 1851.
have been staying at this delightful watering
place for week, and can truly say that have
never felt real comfort in my life than in that
short time. On my arrival found very pleasant
company, numbering about one hundred and
thirty. The extreme fashonables had, of course,
departed leaving behind those who fond of So
cial enjoyment and quiet. And truly can it be
had in much perfection, as all who have visited
here the past season can fully testify. The house
is well kept in every respect and all connected
with it are attentive and obliging. All the COM
forts of home can here be enjoyed, without any of
it's cares and perplexites The proprietors have
won golden opinions from the large'numbers WHO
have visited them, which will no doubt be made
manifest in future seasons, when they have reported
to their friends the satisfaction they have expe-
ricnced.
The saltwater bathing is no. the least of the
many attractions held out to the seekers either of
health or pleasure. Many instances were related
to me of the beneficial effects experienced by freely
partaking of the bath. Several invaids yet remain
here being 10th to leave while they have the pro-
mise of u full eturn to health by the prolongaton
of their visit.
The fishing too is excellent, particularly at this
season The fish are getting more plenty and fat
ter, and the disciples of Izaak Walton would be
well repaid for all the time they might devote to
the pursuit. Here we have the delicious sleeps
head, the hog fish, the spot, and all others of the
finny tribe that arc 80 eagerly sought for by the
angler. The oysters, too, are really fine, and are
eaten with additional zest from the knowledg that
they arc cooked and served up when just fresh from
the sea- Other inducements, in the way Of boat
ing, sailing, Sc, are also held out to visitors.
There could be no better time than the present
for visit this place by the real seekers of plea
sure and enjoyment There is spirit of sociabili-
ty pervading the company which is very charming
and atrac tive; and shall leave them with regret.
The house is kept open at all seasons, and many
persons remain here during the entire month OF
September.

cuban An.ir..

The cause Of Cuba has an innumerable number
OF sympathizing friends, who are ready to give a
helping hand just the fact is ascertained
that they will help themselves, and operate with
those who willing TO assist them; but the sin
guar fact exists that in the midst Of a reported
revolution there has been yet satisfactory evil
dence of disposition and a corresponding move
ment the part of the people of Cuba to strike a
blow themselves for liberty Let them do this, let
them show forth their faith by their works, and
there is no fear of the result.
We cannot tell, neither any one else off of
the island, the degree and character OF the insur-
rectionary movement The multiplicity and
trayagance of the rumors and published statements
have made discreet and discerning people chary
and mistrustful. There are those who profess to
be in possession OF the truth; let them give it
vanished, and dsencumbered of absurd and in
credible hctions, and they will benefit their
a thousand times more than by the dishonest iabri
cation of dispatches and letters with which they
are charged, with how much truth we do not pre-
tend TO say. This much, however, everybody
knows, there have been some most awfully exag-
gerated stories concocted, and the the habit
is abandoned the better for the cause of Cuba.

FREE SUGAR INCREASING THE SLAVE Tam
The repeal of the discriminating duty in favor of
British sugar, has increased the African slave ,,ads
TO an alarming extent. In lS45, Brazil imported
only 2S,ooo Africans; but under the increased de.
mand for sugars in the English Market the pro.
ducion has been greatly enlarged, and in 1876 the
number of slaves imported was $500, in 1917
81 800, and now it is supposed to be much larger.
The rigid blockade of the African coast is more
han counterbalanced by the demand for sugar.
