Consul Owen.

The letter from our intellectual, humane and
intrepid consul at Havana, will, we are sure,
be pronounced by Concha, the Captain General
of Cuba, and by one or two editors of the
United States, but not by one in E,,gland!) a
triumphant defence against the charges of in
humanity and imbecility preferred by the gal
liant, but indiscreet, Americans, who embarked
In the unfortunate expedition against that
island. BY all others in the United States, in
England, and throughout christendom, the de-
fence of Consul Owen will be declared wholly
unsatisfactory, puerile, and contemplate. As
Americans, we feel Inundated and chagrined
in the contemplation of the fact that there wa:
one of our countrymen, and he holding an i'm
portant position abroad, who could, on this la
inevitable occasion, evince such cold-blooded
and craven qualities, or such pitiable mental
imbecility.
Let us, however, give the ignoble Consul the
benefit of his defence it is his due, and he is
welcome to all it can gain for him. Let it be
calmly perused by the world at large, but espe-
cially by President Fillmore, who, it may be,
feels some concern in the matter 1t carries
with it its own eloquent commentary.
Whether Mr.. OWENS conduct is to be as
cribed to his voluntary choice, or to the re-
straining influence of the Presidents procla-
nation and private instructions, we of course
cannot know; but in either case he is despsed
and degraded man in the land Of his birth.
The almost universal voice of his countrymen
condemns and execrates his conduct and his
name will in future be associated with event,
MS disgraceful to our nation as they were crue
and piteous in their nature Let not, however
this reproach fall upon the guiltless. TIL,
names Of Crittenden, Brandt, Kerr, Vienne
and the rest, win henceforth be often Spoken
in kindly accents; but let not the heart O
affection be saddened by the story Of hus
band and fathers disgrace. Arnold and Burr
were false to their country; but our Consul al
Cuba has been false to every feeling of frater
nifty, and has proved traitor to every senti
nent of humanity. He cannot, even in distan
climes, find refuge from contempt; for TIN
pity and compassion he should have shown hi
countrymen were felt by the representatives 0
other nations at Cuba; and Offices Of consolin
friendship, in the dark hour Of calamity, wer
rendered to American citizens by the consula
agents of far distant monarchs.
II has been said that Mr.. Owen could no
have so far misunderstood the views of thu
PRESIDENT Let us know what those views
were. We know them, so far as the Proclama
ton reveals them and it may be our fault, but
we cannot see that he has varied much from
the spirit Of what is there expressed. If he
had other and more minute instructions &c
guide him, 1t is right the public should know

States Government was resisted by force and
arms, whilst in the performance of his duty,
under the authority of the acts of Congress- is

The CHRIsTIANA AFFAIR.--A murder has been
committed, and the murderer has been arrested
and will be tried and punished; while the minis
ters of the law and the people have been prompt
and faithful to act. What more is required,

Nothing-if what the +" Telegraph predicts
turns out to be as true as what it has narrated.
The murderers have yet to be tried and pun

their duty, and the law be executed, we shall
have new confidence in the fidelity of Pennsyl-

of the government.-Rich Republican.
And if they do not We shall unite in denounc-

Miss CATHARIHE HAYEs.-The first concert
of this lady at New York, according to the
journals of that city, was highly successful
one, and she is pronounced an accomplished
artist and exceedingly sweet singer We quote
a few words Of comment from the Tribune:
Catharine Hayes's voice is one of marvellous
compass, extending from the highest soprano
tones to the deepest contralto. Her highest
notes are inferior in purity, in strength, and in
sweetness to Jenny Lind's, but her lowest are
fuller and finer. She seems possessed of all
vocal accomplishments. Her trill, her persist
ency of breath, and purity of tone in crescendo
passages, her skilful blending of the different
registers-all of this is unimpeachable, as be-
came apparent tn the progression of pieces an
nounced in the programme. We should not,
perhaps, lay so much stress upon Miss Hayes q
ballad singing as seems to be done by most Of
her friends. She certainly sings fine ballad,
finer in some Though not alt) respects than
Jenny Lind; but, from what we heard of this
first concert, We cannot but think that in opera,
and in the warm Italian style, she would please
