THE IRISH SwAN.-Catharine Hayes
personal appearance is described as follows
in the n. York Mirror:
Whatever may be the musical talents Of
La Bella Kotfina," glance at her person
assures us that she is woman of extraordi-
nary genius. Her figure is rather above
the medium, full and well - finished up" as
the artists would say TO the lines of beauty.
Her hair is exuberant, curling, and of a rich
auburn color; in the sunlight it would be
golden. She has large, soft, cerulean eye,
a good-natured mouth, and a smile as rad
lent as sunshine. In her conversation she
bctrays a pleasant wit, combined with the
enthusiasm peculiar to her countrymcn.-
She is just such woman as must have sat
TO Tom Moore, when he painted the fair
daughters of Erin

pt Pc - 1904.
We, the undersigned, officers and men,
now incarccrated in the City Prison Of Ha-
yana, on account Of our participation in the
late expedition against the Island of Cuba,
under the command Of Gen. Lopez, being
about TO embark for Spain, cannot refrain
from expressing our heartfelt gratitude TO
Joseph T. Crawford, Consul General of her
Britannia Majesty, and to hIr. J. Sidney
Smith, British Consulate at that place. TO
Mr.. j. S. Thrasher, and to the American
and British citizens Of Havana, generally,
we also owe debt Of deep and lasting graf
itudc. To them we owe all, for by their
kindness and generosity, we have been ena-
bled to overcome many Of the difficulties and
suiicrings we should otherwise have under
gone. To them we owe 4 deb. Of gratitude
we would willingly express by words, but
language fails us. Hoping, however, that
should we be spared TO return to our homes,
we may have IN opportunity Of rcpaying, in
part, the debt we owe. Should such MT be
the case, we sincerely pray that God the
Ruler of the Universe, and lover of good
acts may repay them, by bcstowing upon
them in this world all the blessings that Il
Divine Providence can bcstow; and after
death, by a reward more lasting still, life
eternal. (Signed.)

The Island of Cuba---Reported Proposals
of sale to the United States, by the


Spanish Government,
The following significant article we ex-
tract from the London Leader of the 9th
inst, an able and highly respectable journal,
of the liberal school.
TERMS FOR THE SALE or CUBA.
On authority which we believe TO be
quite trustworthy, we learn the terms of the
negotiation now going on in London, for the
sale of Cuba to the American government.
It is anticipated that Gen. Lopez will be
rcpulscd; but after the Spanish government
has thus cleared its honor, the island will
be sold to the United States for round sum
of money. More than one doucer will be
given-amongst others, an immense sum to
the Queen Mother of Spain. But the most
remarkable bonus is the allotment OF half
the money to the English holders of Spanish
bond.
II is said that Lord Palmcrston dislikcs
these terms.-crcidm JuddeuS.
We do not know how far the late explo-
sion in Cuba and New York will affect this
negotiation; but according 10 our authority,
it will make no difference. General Lopez,
the English bond holders, and other iniluen-
tial parties, having been engaged in the ne
gotiation before the untoward event, re-
counted elsewhere, occurred at Havana.

Is THE President HANDSOME ?-The
Boston Mail considers Mr.. Fillmore ex-
trcmcly good looking, and INDUCES in the
following humorous spcculations as to the
personal appearance Of lis predecessors:
Washington was grave, severe, aus
tcre;' he was man to win respect, but
he was by TO means handsome in person.
The first Adams was obese. jefferson was
marked too prominently by the leading lea-
lures Of the face. Madison looked dull and
stupid. Monroe had phiz full of good
humor, but his nose was too near the color
Of the wine intcrdictcd by the Scriptures,
because it was red. The second Adams
was a hard subject to describe, any way
jackson rcscmblcd two hickory slaves, set
up cdgewisc; he was the hardest featured
man in the whole crowd. Van Buren, was
or is) complaisant Or Sinking, but foxy
and subtle; he had not that opcnness of
countcnance without which no man can be
good looking. Harrison had had his skin
shaken up into all sorts of wrinkles by the
agues Of the Miami. John Tyler was q
nobody, and nothing showed it more plainly
than his face. Polk was '.some pumpkins, p"
and rather fair man 10 look at, you would
stop thinking while you looked. Taylor
had pleasant, agreeable, kind and bcnig-
nant countenance, yet he was homcly as
original sin. But Fillmore is really and
truly good looking man, in every sense Of
the word.
