SUGAR MARKEr.-We copy the following quo
tations from the New Orleans Price Current of
Wednesday last:

THE New CAPTAIN GENERAL OF CuBA.-The
Washington Star publishes the following extract
from letter dated Havana, Nov. %, which it
says is from very reliable source:
Last night, in society, the subject of the new
Captain General or Vice Regent was discussed,
with remarks upon his character which seemed
not the most favorable. Heis a great aristocrat
-despotic-a bigot-proud and oyerbearing,
and, withall, opposed to slavery. The latter
appears confirmed from all quarters. It looks
very strange to me that such man, possessing
sentiments so directly OPPOSED to the great in
terest in the Island, should be nominated just
at this time. It seems to me very significant.
You may say "wait and see." We shall soon
have the opportunity. He may be expected at
any moment, and is in fact daily looked for now.
To say that England has had finger in the ap-
pointment, would be speculation. But when
you reflect thai she must act covertly, and that
her diplomacy is very deep, you in the United
States must not Be surprised at anything

A SENSIBLE LETTERING find the following
letter from Mr. John Mitchell in the New York
Herald, of the 18th. We look upon it as SEN
sible, modest and patriotic production-one that
does him much credit. He is evidently sick of
being made ga show" Of; and, most likely,
has seen through the miserable toadies that are
always on hand in New York to fawn upon and
smirk around distinguished man, in hopes Of
deriving a little notoriety therefrom. That
once obtained, Mitchell and Ireland, may go to
ruin as fast as time can carry them, and they
won't care farthing. That's the way they
served Kossuth, that's the way they would have
served Meagher, if he had let them, and that's
the way they will serve Mitchell if they get a
chance But, to the letter referred to:
BROOKLYN, Dec. 10, 1853.
To the Committee of the Ciuic Societies and
Military Companies Of New York.-Gentlemen :
I must be permitted respectfully and gratefully
to decline the public procession which under
stand is contemplated in my honor, or rather in
honor Of the cause of freedom. Already have
received the public welcome of the civic au-
thorities of both New York and Brooklyn. Al
ready these two great cities have expressed their
generous sympathy with Irish nationality, and
their honest censure of Ireland's oppressors. It
is enough. Any further personal glorifcation
of an individual, by way of triumphal pomp
through the busy streets Of New York, would
be, perhaps, injurious to the cause which we all
have at heart, and would, do assure you, be
oppressive and humiliating to me. When your
deputation waited upon me, took the liberty
of suggesting that the proposed parade of the
societies and companies should take place on last
Monday, on which day the City Hall was to be
opened to me for the EXPRESS purpose Of receiv-
ing such public expression of sympathy as your
citizens might be disposed to offer. In after
wards asserting to meet you upon another day,
I was unaware that a procession was the thing
contemplated; and if unintentionally misled
your deputation, throw myself upon your in
diligence. For the future, it is my earnest wish
to employ myself quietly, but zealously, in q
manner more congenial to my tastes, and,
hope, more effective for good. Iremain, gentle
men, with sentiments Of regard and gratitude,
your obedient servant. JOHN M1TcHE.
