BRITISH INTERFERENCE WITH THE CUBAN SLAVE
TRADE 1t will be seen, by private correspond
ence from the island Of Ouba that the slave traffic
has suffered diminuton, but is at present in the
most active and prosperous condition that il had
ever before attained. 1t will also be seen, however,
that par passu with the increase Of the trade has
been the active resolution of the British get to put
it down completely, and no less than four vessels
engaged in the traffic had been brought into the
port Of Havana by n. B N frigate yestal.
We have previously stated the fact of these cap
lures; but the particulars, furnished by
pondents throwing light upon the connivance of the
Spanish authorities, will be read with mus h interest.
The mixed court for the trial Of these was in
was anticipated from it, on account of the open rs
well as covert support and counte given to the
offenders by the Captain General and the inferior
officers of his government.
However, the determined obstinacy evinced by
the British government to eradicate the slave TRADE
in the Antilles must necessarily result in it's tier
extinction. rs 1t has done in the Brazils But it
would not be matter Of surprise if this interference
by England with the revenues of the high person.
ages who interested in tho slave trade as we'll in
Cuba as in Old Spain, should involve some unp,eas
ant disturbanees between the two governments
One thing, however, is certain that if the English
persist in this determination to extipguish the slave
trade in Cuba their action will utterly ruin that
island, in an official point Of view, and de.poi il of
its greatest charm-that Of affordng to Spanish
pe,isonnGiyss an easy and quick mode Of repIenish

Cambria Iron COMPANY.

We visited the scene of operations of this
Company on last Saturday, and saw about one
hundred and fifty men at work already. The
foundation of the Rolling Mil is laid out 1t is
in the shape of I. The long stem is 700 feet
long and 100 feet wide. The cross is about 500
feet long and rs feet wide Great preparations
are being made for making brick and for buili-
ing. The whole ground is covered with planks
and boards and sawed timber Some of the
men ditehiEg-some digging ore-some
foundations for stacks and Hummelshine, ma

Rolling Mill. 1t is worth visit. We have not
yet been made acquainted with the Supernten-

him TO be very enterprising aud business-do-
ing man.
We were not at all mistaken in saying that
this Company will expend half million of dol
lars in Johnstown this summer 1t will be the
making of the place. People should buy lots
soon and build we think the entire salabie
property in town will all be bought up during
the summer. Pittsburg was once as small as
Johnstown, and the time may come when Johns
town will be as large as Pittsburg. No reason
can be given why il should not be as great bu-

The Gaues Law Renealad-

The bill repeating the gauge law of S51 that
passed the Senate some days ago. also passed
the House Thursday last by a large rnaiori
ty. This enables railroad companies to build
roads of any gauge through State. and at
this time it is difficult to say what its effects
may be. We think. however. that the four feet
eight and half inch gauge has been so well
established in our State. that Il will push its
way westward through Ohio and into the IVES

it does not, and our eastern neighbors gain an
advantage over US. railroad companies may
attribute it TO the liberal spirit exhibited in our

his unhappy fate with sorrow. He was an i'm
pulsive, quick tempered man. and had been, by
the force of his exctable temperament, involved
in many sudden and desperate broils; but he
was as IN mlgnanimOus as he was brave. and ever
ready to forgive, make reparation, and be re-
conciled, wnen his anger cooled He WAS high
ly popular in the region of the State where he
resided, and was frequently elected to represent
his county in the State Legislature He serysd
his country in the war of 1872, and was Brig

well. and it is with unfeigned grief that we have
