HAVANA, May s, 1851.
"Montes de Oca, the unfortunate indi
vidual who was the victim of the barbar
Gus government of Spain, met his fate
like hero.
"Provious to his execution the Captain
Genera Coucha gave him nine days to
denounce all the patriots on the Island,
and promised him his liberty and large
sum Of moueY-but he only replied that
he would sooner die a thousand deaths
than deuounce his friends"
A FLTGHT OF Fancy. Members Of the
Bar have been celebrated for ages for ac-
casional bursts ot eIectr(yng eloqoence,
and even in this matter.of.iact day, we
hear of some lofty fights which tend to
burnish the glory of the profession The
gentleman that practices in the Morrow
County Court, who gave ulterance to the
following. deserves from the profession
vote cf thanks. 1t appears that wit
ness named Biers was examined in re-.
gard to the quality ofa certain COW & not
withstaudiug the fact that Bers was from
Sussex County, New Jersey, the attor
ney upon the opposite side denied hi'
capacity. The lawyer for the plaintiff
became excited aud held forth as fol-
lows:
"Bicrs not qualified or capable tojpdge
Of cows. and rajsrd in Susscy Couaiy
New jersey! Why! gentlemen of the
Jury; if a man from Sussex County, wa.
abou to close his eyes in the cold EN-
braces of death, aud the last breath .
life was qpiveIing on his dying lips ant
his spirit was winging its way to the
New Jerusalem If in passing over tn,
streets of pearl. he should see inscribed
on the arch of the Gates Of Heaven, il
letters Of gold: No cow trailing here!
he would back!-back! !-Grnrlemen o
the Jury, he would not GO in!'
The Jury considered Biers compe
tent witness.

This then is the amount of gold du
thot has been produced by the mines
