Stidham was native of New Jersey, but lately of

Arrival of the stenmer Isabel.
| The u S. Mail Steamer Isabel arrived at Charles
ton on Friday last from Havana, bringing dates from
the latter City to the 22d inst. We indebted to
the Charleston Courier of the Goth Instant for the
following items of news:
! Among the passengers is G. HAMILTON JONES Esq,
Private Secretary to he Hon. w. R. KING, who is
bearer of dispatches from CONSUL at Havana to
Washington. We gratified to learn from MIR.
JONES that the health Of the Vice President elect
is much improved. He is at present staying on the
plantation of MIR. jerks four miles from Natanzas,
that gentleman having politely rendered him the
use of his house Mr. JONES described the place as
being exceedingly beautiful and says that Mr. KING
seems thoroug' to enjoy himself there. MIR. JONES
left MIR. KING the 2lst instant, and appears per-
ecy sanguine as to his speedy recovery. The su
gar house in MIR KINGS case, has proved efhcaclous.
Iaffordng him almost instantaneous relief. MIR.
KING is accompanied by two neces and two nepheWs.
The telcgraphic account published in the Courier
on Thursday, of the misunderstanding between MIR.
KING and the Captan-Ge is substantially cor
oSko11- 1oI fri1
interview took place between the parties.
/ We learn from another passenger by the Isabel
that some excitement existed in Havana in conse-
quence of tue authorities having broken open the
mails from Havana, which were placed on board the
U. S. Mail Steam Ship Empire City, Capt. W1SDLE,
for New Orleans on the 18th inst, by the agent.
Messrs. DRAKE & Co. The Empire City was ad-
vertsed to sail on that morning at seven o'clock but
prior to that hour was boarded by the Chief of Po
lice, two Commissioners and three Police officers,
who proceeded to open the Havana letters, detain-
ing thereby the steamer until half past eight clock
one hour and half The following morning the
U. S. Mail Steam Ship Crescent City, Capt. BAXTER
Just as she about proceeding to New York, was
similarly treated, and detained one hour and a
quarter.
II is id that the authorities have adopted this
course in order if possible discover what Creoes
in the Island are engaged in correspondence with
the Fillibusters of the United States. On the list
, inst. however, the u. 5. Consul at Havana Jud sc
SHARKEY addressed communication to the Captain
' General protesting, it is said, in energetic terms
against the right of the Cuban authorities to search
| any U. S. Mail steam ship. Our informant further
states that he believes response had been received
by our Consul prior to the departure of the Isabel
The Isabel, however, was permitted to leave Port
t without undergoing any examination the commu-
l. nication therefore, of cur Consul. seems to have
t. had desirable effect.
