THE LATEST NEWS FROM CUBA-LETTR FROM
THE HoY. EDwARp EVERETT We publish this
morning several interesting and important ccmmu-
nications from Cuba, previously crowded out, in
dicating the condition Of affairs there in connec-
tion with the slave trade operations OF the island
We also give the letter Of our present Secretary Of
State, Mr. Everett addressed to the Spanish Mi.
nstcr on the subject of the Crescent City, a doeu-
pent not hitherto published
Our private correspondents detail, with great
niDuteness and exactitude, the circumstances at
tending the arrest and imprisonment Of Captain
Adams Gray and his crew, and the sale and transfer
of the American ship Lady Suffolk to parties ia
Havana, for the purpose of being engaged in the
slave trade Ii is quite apabls that the design Of
the Captain General in having recourse to this appa
renty severe measure, merely to deceive The Bri-
sh residents, and the officers Of the British squadron
on the station, with respect to his IN sentiments
the slave trade, and to furnish sort Of denial to
the public rumor mputing to himeelf and Qaeen
Christina interest in these expeditions to the coast
of Africa Our private letters direct. up to the
first of December state that the captain and crew
were sill in custody but we nd by oar public az
counts, probably later, from New Orleans, tina.
they have boon discharged, and are now on their
way to the United Statcs When Captain Gray ar
lives shall be able to at the true facts of
the case but, in the meantime, it would be man
ifsst injustice to attribute to him a guilty know
ledge of the illegal business for which his ship
was intended by the purchaser. 1t is quite pos
sible that he may have been totally ignorant of
her destination, and, therefore, it would be un-
fair to form any hasty conclusion as to his cul-
psbility.
The British squadron the coast of Csba, ex.
hipits a marked determination to enforce the OBJ
servsuce of the slave treaty by Spain. Bat from
the proportionate activity manifested by the Cubans
and evidently sanctioned and encouraged by the
authorities in carrying on the lucrative slave traffic.
it Will require the utmost vigilance of the cruisers
to operate efectually in putting it down. Between
IT,, thus conflicting interests, there will probably
soon arise some serious collision, more menacing in
its character and more important in lis results, than
the Crescent City and Purser Smith difficulty
Caba needs slaves, the Spanish officials need money
hut Eng land is resolved that their necessities shall
rot be supplied by the diaboical slave traffic, in the
face of their solemn treaty stpulations. The game
is highly exciting, and we shall watch lite various
turns with the deepest interest.

Rsovsd That, the opinion Of this meeting. the de.en-
hoa of this steamer, BY hazy weather. 81 hours at anchor

That spar buoys in the much frequsEted chan
nes Of his port unfit for the purpose intended being

AID too small to be numbered, as all channel buogs
should be.
That in the opinion Of this meeting. efficient Board,
composed of officers Of the Army, Navy, and civilians,
should be Immediately appointed by Act Of Congress-
whose duty should be to uperatend and direct the To-
cation construction Of light houses. and the position VI
liz ht vessels and buoys.
That this meeting most selemny protest against the
reckless mann en- of smevng with very short notice. the
light thips from their stations and earnestly recommend
that whenever light vessel is absent from her position,
weather thai its place be imne-
dasey supplied by duplicate Light vessel kept prepared
in all for the purpose The case of the u steam
rgate Mississippi nearly lost Five Fathom Bank, of
the Delaware is striking proof Of the importance Of
this resolution.
Tha. the of the range lights for this channel for
which appropriation made by Congress IN 1850,
delay and much loss to shipping interest
That the Act Of Congress appropsting for numbering
the buoys properly buoyne the channel Of this
port should be efficiently carried and that for
that purpose steam we'll sail vessel should be pro-
vded for the inspection Of lights and buoys and replacing
hem when carried away, when the numbers which dir
gush said buoys have been defAced and rendered ueg
BILE BY ice or other cause.
That these revolutions be published in the newspapers
and the attention Of the Committee Commerce and
Nav cation in the Senate and House Of Representatives be
respectfully called to them.
