The News.
By the arrival of the steamship Black Warrior
yesterday we we're placed in possession Of weeks
later advcts from Cuba, full details Of which are
given on another page. The news from Havana is
OF very important character. The antipathy Of
the old SpaniArds to the steamer Crescent City had
been revived-the Captain General appears to have
lent willing to the appeals Of his excited coun-
tEymen-and, at last accounts, q Spanish man Of
wArvas cruising of the harbor, with the intention
Of inttrcepting and preventing the Crescent City
from going up to the city. All other American
vessels are said be treated with due courtesy by
the Cuban authorities but it seems to be the settled
determination that the Crescent City shall stay
away, notwithstanding tho affidavit of Purser
Smith, which We publish, denying in toto
the charges preferred against him. In con-
Bestion with this matter, columns con.
aain lengthy translations from the Havana
papers, and also . long article from the official
organ At Washington; thus giving, at n glance,
the views Of both governments with regard to
George Law, Purser Smith, and the fllibusteros
generally. However much the great majority of
shs people may object to the course pursued by the
lsdninistration concerning the outrage upon their
flag, it is no Eore than Justice that they should
this affair in day or two.
The steamship United States arrived yesterday,
with dates from Aspinwall to the sth, and Kingston
10 the 18th instant. The intelligence from Jamaica
10 Of but little consequence, if We except the fact
that the tide of agricultural prosperity has again
,shanged from Jamaica to Hayti. Formerly the
manufacturing machinery of the ruined estates
of Hayti vas bought Up and conveyed to Jamaica
but, since the elevation Of Faustin to the throne,
IN impetus has been given to labor, and the conss-
4uencs is, that the steam engines, sugar mills
&c, oftLe dilspdated plantations in the vicinity Of
Kingston being returned to his sable msjesty's
A0miniona. In Hayti, Faustin rules his eountrymen
IN abont the same style that the Gar Of Russia
dses his ssrfs when he commands they dare not
dis0bey-hencs they fnd it necessary to work. In
Jansica, the blacks perfectly free to think and
act for themselves, and will not work If there is any
pcesblty of avoiding it. The result is, tina. in
Hayti tho blacks are in fair way Of living com
fcrtably in Jamaica they gradually starving 10
death, and in the course Of time are likely to be.
come totally extinct.
The letter from our Aspinwan correspondent con-
Aains many items of interest, especially to those
Who contemplate journeying to the Pacific. L. is
said that there il sickness of any consequence

Panama is in good order, and that some two thou

drawback--the natives, or at least large portion
Of them, are jeaously opposed to everything Anne.
ican, and seldom let an opportunity slip to wan
tosly insult and abuse our countrymen. As an
evidence Of their antipathy, the Junta Of Panama
have changed the name Of Aspinwall to Colon, and

word. The Americans, in the meantime, yery
wisely remain quiet, well knowing that time and
little reflection viii obliterate these preudices, and
teach the natives that they have gained nearly all
they are WORTH and lost nothing by their intercourse
with the enterprisipg Yankees.
Seine additional information from California, re-
ceved by the United States, is given elsewhere.

The Black Warrior reports that on Tuesday eve-
ming, when of Barnegat light, she unfortunately
came in collision with the schooner Sarah Emma,
from this port, bound to Philadelphia The
schooner wa. cut down to nearly the waters edge
and was therefore anchored in five fathoms water,
and abandoned. The captain and crew returned in

Our special Washington correspondent writes that

tory proofs that his government had for many years
exercised acts Of sovereignty the Lobos Islands,
the United States has receded from the position
&sumed by the late Secretary of State. In order
that there may be no great loss to those vessels
which went out under the erroneous impression that
they would be protected in loading with guano,

facility in securing cargoes Thus ends the guans

The Legislature OF New Hampshire convened ut
Concord yesterday. The principal feature in Gov
Martins message appears to be the virtual recon-
mendation of the abolition Of the statute Of lmita
tiOn concerning the collection of debts. He depre
Gates the bitterness Of p0ry strife evnced in the
recent election, and closes with an appropriate au
zion to the loss the nation has lately sustained in
the deaths Of Calhoun, Clay, Woodbury.. and Web
ster. During this session, 1t will be recollected.
