CUBA--Another Outrage.-The recent inteli-
gence from Cuba, brought to us by the mails, in
addition to what we received by the meagre tel
egraphic despatch of Saturday last, is in all re-
spects of a very exciting character. Still anoth-
er outrage hasbeen committed against the Amer
lean flag, by Spanish naval officers The schoon-
err Manchester, which arrived at New York on
Friday last, from Kingston, Jamaica, reports
having been boarded, when twenty miles east of
Cape Antonio, by twelve men belonging to a
Spanish cruiser who took possession of the ves-
sci, conveyed her inside the reef, and, after over
hauling her papers, broke open the matches,
took out about third Of her cargo, and even
went so far as to undertake to break open the
letters of her consignees. After a detention of
twenty-four hours, being unable to find any
thing to confirm their suspicious, the Spaniards
demanded thirty dollars of the captain of the
Manchester for safely plotting him through the
reef, and then permitted him to find the way
out in any manner he could. Comment upon
this high-handed proceeding is unnecessary. 1t
would seem either that the Spanish officials in
Cuba are madly determined to test our patience
to the utmost, or that the officers of their cruisers
must be badly off for pay and rations, when they
resort to the hazardous but miserable expedient
of stopping and levyng black mail on the Amer
repeated outrages of this nature upon the flag
ofiour country causes the blood of Americans
to.boil with Indignation. This matter will no
doubt be promptly investigated by the admins
tration at Washington, and measures taken to
either prevent or resent like occurrence in fu-
ture.
One would suppose, judging from the six days
later news from Havana, that the Spaniards had
enough to do to take care Of their own affairs
on the island of Cuba, and would carefully avoid
making an unnecessary and suicidal quarrel
with this government, by waylaying and NAL
treating those sailing under its banner on the
high seas. 1t is understood that serious dis
turbance had arisen among the troops stationed
ut st. Jago de Cuba; that whole company
had deserted; that fifteen Of the men were cap
tured and sentenced to death, but that the Off
GERS were deferred from executing them for fear
of general revolt. This really looks ominous
Spanish military commandants, for once, having
been dismayed at the threatening position as
sumed by their own men. They well know that,
should this feeling of discomfort spread among
the soldiery Cuba will bid farewell to Spain for
ever.
But the foregoing does not embrace all that
is of interest in the Cuban news. Another car.
go of Africans had been successfully landed
from SLAYER, anda rumor was current that the
clipper SLAYER Lady Suffolk had also run in with
a load of blacks The British steamer Deuasta-
ton had arrived at Havana, and, in connection
with other vessels was expected to make a gen.
eral onslaught on the slavers, and, if possible,
elfectualy check the abominable traffic.

BY MRS. l.. II. sIGoURNEY.
The Past she ruleth. AT her touch

BY MRS. l.. II. sIGoURNEf.
The Past she ruleth. AT her touch
Its temple-waves unfold,
And from their gorgeous shrines descend
The mighty men of old.
At her deep voice the dead reply,
Dry bones are clothed and live
Long persisted garlands bloom anew, Is
= And buried joys revive. n
When DER the Future many shade
OF saddening twilight steals, 3
Or the dimmed present to the soul
Its emptiness reveals
She opens her casket, and cloud
50 OF cheering perfume streams,
Till with lifted heart we tread
The pleasant land of dreams.
Make friends of potent Memory,
o, young man, in thy prime,
And, with her jewels bright and rare,
Enrich the hoard of time.
Yet, if thou mockest her with weeds
A trifier mid her bowers
She'll send poison through thy veins,
In life's disastrous hours.
Make friends of potent Memory,
o maiden, in thy bloom,
And bind her to thine inmost heart,
Before the days of gloom;
For sorrow softeneth into joy
Beneath her wand sublime,
And she immortal robes can weave
From the frail threads of time.
