Republican learns from gentleman, Just arrived
from Florida, that the "emigrating party" which
had collected Jacksonville, have all dispersed
to their homes. About the 26th of April they
numbered some 600 men,. fifty of whom were to
be mounted. They expected to have left Florida
in the steamboat Cleopatra, whose detention at
New York is said to be the immediate cause of the
breaking up.
Many persons here affected to laugh, at the ex-
pense Of the Government, when the Cleopatra was
seized. Such persons may, il they please, stultfy
themselves again by perusing the application BY
DR.. BURNETT, of the party recently arrested in
New York, for release from his bail. The Govern
ment seem to have made a decided hit in taking
the old Cleopatra.

Cuba.

We observe there is an official account pub
lished by the Spanish authorities Of their loss,
in killed, wounded and bruised, of the Spanish
forces in their late encounters with the invaders
1t amounts only to 245. We have conversed
with Captain ELLIS of this city, and Of that ex
petition, who says he was informed in Havana,
on the best authority, that the loss was from
two thousand to twenty seven hundred. And
his statement is coroborated by events. IL the
Spanish f. rces suffered 50 little, why did they
not crush the Americans at one blow. They
must have been either great towards, or they
nn.i have lost immensely more than they ad
mir. We doat care which horn Of the dilemms
the Spanish authorities adopt.
Captain ELLIS says, that il the invading force
had consisted Of two thousand men, instead Of
four hundred, and had been well provided with
ammunition, II would have been victorious ovel
the Spanish forces. As for the aid Of the Gre
oles, he says Il would have been given, IL the
Americans had been strong enough TO have sd
yanced on Havana Bot he says the aid of The
Creoies was Of no consequence in battle, As they

dead FISH upon the banks, which led them for a
moment 10 suppose that the common opinion,
that there were no fish in the Dead Sea, was err
roneous. II is, however, quite true that no hsh
can exist in the water, and those found by the
travellers must have been washed down by some
Of the rivers, and have died the instant they
tourhed the salt, bitter lake. The deadly ema-

re,nunerate England for all her outlay connected
with the Great Exhibition. The reaping ma
chine from the United States Is the most vnlua-
bic contribution from abroad 10 the stock Of
our previous knowle re that we have yet dis
covered, and several facts in connection with IL
are not little remarkable. In the first place,
the want Of such an impleu ent was 30 much
felt that we find in the catalogue, list Of eight
British exhibitors, show ing inventions designed
TO accomplish the same Object. Again. u sp-

can he no question, that but for the Exhibition,
the attention of our farmers would not, for
some time 10 come, have been so strongly drawn

agricultural interest, that which at FIRST gave the

England, has lately patented plan for re.
voving saiI ship, model 9f which has been ex.

Of the Invention consists In the introduction OF
a set Of SIXTEEN revolving sails, similar in shape
to the fans Of a wind mill. These sails are eie.
waited on wheel and attached to spindle. Az
as the wind touches the sails, they instantly
set the spindle in motion, when, by simple
piece of machinery. couple Of paddles are pro.

are, increased speed and the advantage Of smiling
against hend.wind. OF another invention, in
which submerged paddles are used, the discovery
being due to Mr. Vint Of Colchester, an account
has previously been given. Both are claimed to
be entirely successful.
