The Powers of the Captain General of
Cuba.


The following extract from Cuban let
ter, which We find in the New York Times,
shows the unlimited and irresponsible
nature of the power welded by the Cap
tain General of Cuba, who, the writer says,
is more of an "autocrat than the Car of
Russia himself"
Youmayjudge, from the foregoing, how
unenviablc is the life led by the subjects of
Spain.

'thunders of applause, the sensitive nerves
of his Excellcncy are offended and order
is forthwith issued forbidding the use of
walking canes in applauding at the theatre.
If, after that, an Individual chances in ap-
plauding, to bring the palms of his hands
too forcibly together, and the responce is
greater than pleases the delicate ear of the

guilty of this great offenceis made prisoner,

kept during the pleasure of his Excel

SETrLED.-It appears from late reports
from Washington, that the Nebraska bill
is settled for the present. 1t has been re-
ferred to the committee of the whole in
the House, where it will not be reached
until the middle of next session of Con-
gress. The passage of the bill will have
but little to do with settlement of the coun-
try, in our opinion. for the people have
got started that way and they will go any
how,

large sale both here and in London. This
work, by the same author, will, we think,

Dickens, that striking ability Of marking
and individual!zlng certain characters, SO
that meet them under what disguise We

The Sympathy of the United States for
key.

ey.
Mr.. Spence, the new American minister
to Turkey, upon his being presented to the
Sultan, made neat speech, the closing
part of which was as follows.
In the great struggle which you are now
engaged, you have the sympathies and
good wishes of the Am erican nation. The
policy of our Government, while it pre-
vents all national interference in European
quarrels, can never restraints, as a people,
from praying that that arm, belt Christian
or be it Mahomedan, may be strong which
wiclds the sword in just cause. That you
may succeed in preserving the integrity of
an empire which has so frequently afford
ed an asylum to the exiled friends ofliberty
is the universal desire of the people of the
United States.
Permit me, as instructed, to tender you
to the best wishes of the President, and Of
the people of the United States, for your
welfare and happiness, accompanied with
my sincere hope that the termination of the
conflict between your most sanguine Gar
of Russia may accord with your most san
guine expectations.

ELoPEMENT IN HIGH LIFE.-Upper-ten-
dom was thrown into terrible state of
excitement on Sunday evening and yes
terday, owing to the discovery of the ab-
sence Of one Of Ewes fairest daughters
from the parent roof. The young lady
had gone out on Sunday to take walk, as
was her usual custom since the arrival of
the family in town-(the family are from
Western State, and came to the city a
few months ago to spend the gay season.
Not returning by 9 o'clock, mama became
uneasy, by 10 o'clock she became alarmed.
by 12 she became excited, but when, at 4
P. NJ, she was informed by one who was
prlvy to the escape Of the fair one, that
her daughter was still alive, and had left
on the last train of cars for the like, en- route
10 Mobile, in company with and under the
protection of one who was about to offer
the most solemn guarantees to love, pro-
tect, and defend her, she became furious.
The lightnings of the telegraph were put
in requlsition to arrest the progress of the
fugitives on their arrival at Mobile, but
the wags who manage the 'batteries, " as
the story goes, put one word not, in. the
dispatch, (by mistake of course) which
reversed it's meaning, and the loving
couple were made one, in few minutes
after they touched the hospitable shores
of Alabama. The lady is young and
beautiful, an only daughter, and an heir
ess, and the gallant fellow, Col. J-s, who
so deservedly won the prize is well known
in fashionable circles, as clerk in a pronsi-
nent dry goods house on Canal-street.-
A happy future to the young couple,
say we. 9ed
