These events created quite stir in the govern

few paragraphs as as follows:
ave have before lis dsepatch from the Lieut..
Governor of Cardenas Don Manuel Hector, dl-
rected to the land owners, merchants, and other
capitalists Of his jurisdiction asking them to con-
tribute as much as their patriotism dictates for
the construction of prison in that town as a
larger one than the present is required:-and
Mr.. Hector expects to gain celebrity by procu-
rpc it to be built This act, of itself, is sul-
fcient to show to the people of Cuba and for
eign nations the situation to which Cubans are
reduced, and what they owe to their paternal
government. Prisons, scatolds, and banlshmentS;
such is the gubernative system ofour unfortunate
country
ave do not doubt that in Cardcnas, and in
deed in the capitals Of all the departments OF
this island new prisons are needed-tor the
vast prison of this capital is so full OF inmates
innocent or guilty, now, that they have scarcely
room to stand up; and the government, far from
making the people more moral, by establishing
institutions of education, and houses Of bencii-
ence for the orphans and beggars who roam
about our streets is expendng still larger sum
in the construction of prisons, barracks, and
forts for tyranny does not rule without terror,
and can only be sustained by military and in
quisitorial power, exercised against detenceless
subjects r.
aDoubtless Mr.. Hector will be able to realise
his desire, and receive considerable sums to car
ry into effect his project Of a prison; but the
Cuban people, who are one and all watching
the vantdal acts of their Government, will have
an account to settle with Mr.. Hector and the
individuals who contribute n9;ttfftts hit
author IA! Ae tic people are asked to contribute
for the construction of prison in which they
are to be acknowledgements they will be
obliged to erect the scafold on which they are
to be immediately. Y. Journal Of Commerce.
