CUBAN SLAVE TRADE.-Late accounts
from Cuba mention the landing Of several
fresh cargoes of slaves from Africa, on the
coast, in one case the vessel, schooner,
being burned as soon as the negroes were
taken out Of her. A HAVANA cores
pondence Of the New York Daily Times,
in narrating this fact, remarks:
1T is right that your people should be
distinctly told that these landings are made,
and Slavery in its worst form is now car
ried on almost entirely By ressels bull in the
United States-many built to order in your
ship yards, with knowledge Of the trade
for which they are intended-6tted in the
United States, with the munitions and
tackle, shaekles, water, rum, and berth deck
utensils necessary for the business; and the
employees on board Of these slave pirate
vessels are american seaBleR, R1tire and nal
Eralized, all of which is accomplished in
the ports which may be most convenient
from Baltimore to Portland, the city of
New York, from the convenience Of con-
cealment, embracing the largest portion of
the business The persons who are the
agents, are your foreign fashionable fast
men, who are to be found figuring in fash
ionable circles in your cities and watering
places" H.f'7
Not the least among the evils attendant
upon this inquitious traffic, is the fact that
poor, ignorant sailors are inveigled aboard
these slave ships at New York, on pretenee
Of going on regular trading voyage to
the West Indies or South America, and
are never informed Of the real nature Of
the undertaking until they arrive upon the
African coast and see the negroes shipped.
When they reached the Cuban coast, it is
only with the greatest difienlty they can
escape Imprisonment, though in no wise re-
sponsible for the trade in which the craft
has been engaged A number of cases Of
peculiar hardships of this kind have occur
red within year or two past.

In other words the month of August,
1852, brought AZ per cent. beyond that Of
1851. That of 1853 brought 10 per cent.
beyond 1851, and we now, in 1854, for the
short space of one month exhibit an i'm
ported stock of $l4, l94, GAG, or 100 per
cent. beyond that Of 1851.
1t must be manifest to every rational
mind that the increasing population and
wants, wealth, and ability Of the country
do not require any such rapid increase in
the supply of foreign goods.

The DOUGLAS MEETING AT CHIcAGo.-
1t appears from the Chicago papers that
Judge Douglas, in defiance of the fanatics
and rowdies of that city, did deliver por.
ton of his speech, in defence of his action
touching the Nebraska bill. He spoke for
more than an hour, when the uproar be-
came so great that he quietly retired from
the stand. The Chicago Press says:
There was great amount of groans
snd cheers but there was nothing like a
riot, or any approach'to it. He said some
bitter things against HE press of Chicago,
and did not compliment the intelligence Of
citizens in very pleasant terms. They re-
fused to hear him on these subjects. To
wards the close of his speech they became
so uproarious that he was obliged to desist.
The plain truth is, there were great many
there who were unwilling to hear him, and
manifested their disapprobation in a very
noisy and disrespectful manner. We re-
gret exceedingly that he was not permitted
to make his speech unmolested. That would
have been far better than the course that
was pursued. We are glad, however, That
when he decided to make no further efforts,
the people retired peaceably to their homes
and all was quiet. His speech, as was ex-
pected, was an able one"
During the day preceding the evening of
the meeting, the most intense excitement
prevailed throughout the city. His oppo-
nents had the bells tolled an hour before
the meeting assembled, and to add to the
excitement, issued an anonymous handbill
stating that he had organized and armed
an Irish body guard. In the meantime the
cars from every direction came in crowded
with persons to attend the meeting, which
was the largest ever held in Chicago. The
Times Of that city has sketch of Judge
DIS speech, from which We quote
He told them that he was not uDpre-
pared for their conduct. He had day or
two since received letter written by the
Secretary Of an organization framed since
his arrival in the city, for the purpose of
preventing him from speaking. This or
ganization required that he should leave
the city or keep silent; and if he disregard
ed this notice, the organization was pledg-
ed, at the sacrifice of life, to prevent his
being heard. He presented himself, he
said, and challenged the armed gang to
execute their murderous pledge. The let
Ter having been but imperfectly heard, its
reading was asked by some of the orderly
citizens present, but the mob refused to let
it be read, when Judge D., at the earnest
request of some Of his friends, left the stand.

1t is supposed that the falling of in the
receipts of gold at the Philadelphia mint
may be'accounted by the recent establish
ment of aibranch mint at San Francisco
that receives from the mines large quanti-
ties Of gold, which is either coined or run
into bars aud shipped thence to New York
or to England. The Philadelphia mint will
henceforth not show the chief product of
gold, as it has done hitherto.
The supply Of gold received from Cali
fornia has been inadequate to supply the
drain made by the demands of our foreign
trade. The shipment of specie from the
United States to foreign countries from the
lst of January 10 the I'd Of September Of
this year has been about $36, ,0O0,0 900.
Now, while this drain of specie is going
on with such drastic force, the official state
ments show that the foreign imports at the
port of New York for the month OF August
of this years exceed the imports for the
same month Of last year about SO, ,0O0, 900.
The quantities Of goods thrown upon
the New York market during. the month of
August of the past four years were as fol-
