that General Canedo has been recalled is giving
rise to great excitement The British mail steam
ship from Vera Cruz was overdue ten days, and
fears were entertained for her safety. For fifteen
days prior to the arrival at Havana of the Black
Warrior, severe weather had prevailed in the gulf,
and several vessels that had sailed from Havana for
New York had returned in distress The Sugar
market at Havana during the week ending the 10Th
ult, was firm at previous rates.

The Last Fly of Summer.
g It's the last fly of summer.
Left buzzing alone
All its biack-legged companions
Are dried UP and gone.
Not one of its kindfed,
No blue bottle nigh,
To sport mid the sugars.
Or in the milk die.
I'll not doom thee, thou lone one,
4 victim to be,
Since the rest are all vanished,
Come dine you with me-
Thus kindly l scatter
Some crumbs of my bread,
Where thy mates on the table
Lie withered and dead.
But soon you will perish,
Pm sadly afraid,
For the glass is at sixty
Just now in the shade.
When wasps have all vanished,
And blue bottles flown,
No fly can inhabit
This bleak world alone.

DIRECTIONS FOR AINTINC.-Never faint when
you alone. Always select some good opporun-
ty. The more persons there aboutyou the more
successful will be your fit. A friends house. where
there is dinner party going on, is far from bad
opportunity. Never faint more than once in the
same evening, as there may be falling off in the
sympathy on the second experiment. A woman
should not only faint WELL but be above suspicion
Be very careful, therefore, never to risk faint I'M
