be feasible, and would prove a blessing. If the
nation shall dwindle to the point of extinction,
and the remnant of people shall understand
English, it may be well. But so long as the.
nation shall exhibit life and activity, let it re-
main independent-be one of the sisterhood of
nations. True, we have our own trials Men
from other lands, of the character described by
the King in his address to the foreigners-men
who come here with no more exalted motives
than that of building up their own interests, at
the expense Of the native-nen who seek con-
fdence only to betray it-who have no higher
ambition than that Of laboring to overthrow the
Government, and introducing anarchy, confu-
sion, and bloodshcd-I repeat, men of this char
acter may be upon as in such numbers as to
destroy our cherished hopes of the permanency
of the Hawaiian Government. How this will
be, God only knows. To Him we look for aid
and dehverance. j. s. GREEN

the proclamation calling an election in Kansas
to choose Governor to supersede Gov. Reed.
er, is an anonymous one. The copy received
at st. Louis came from Parkville, Missouri,
where the Office of the Lanstnary Yves torn
down by the mob.
Gov. Reeder, of Kansas is with his family at
Easton, Pa. 1t is said he will return with them
IN lew months to the theatre of his public du
ties The executive head of the affairs of the
Territory, IN the mean time, is Mr.. Woodson,
the Secretary. Gov. Reeder, before his depar-
ture, issued proclamation for an election to

occur In six or eight districts. He also issued
his proclamation to convene the Legislature on
the first Monday in July. ="
EXTRA SRssIoK.-A dispatch from ALBANY
says that il is reported that an extra session of
tho Legislature has been determined on by Gov.
error Clark, to be held in September, that the

CELSIUS which is to be taken in June, so that the
next Legislature may be chosen under the new
apportionment. We doubt, however, whether
an extra session will be called
REMOVAL OF JUDGE LoRING.-The Senate of
Massachusetts, has passed a vote to concur with
the House in the removal of Judge Loring-
ayes ~, noes IL. In the resolution for his re.
moyal, the amendment permitting him to resign
his Commissionership was negatived by about
the same majority.
Mr.. Soule has spoken of late in terms of
sonrcsevcrity of the possibility of his Secretarys
having acted in bad faith with him. The Ma
tiona Iatel'igencer thereupon quotes from Vat
tel, section l22, as follows:
"The ambassadors Secretary is one of his
domestics; but the Secretary of the Embassy
holds his commission from the Sovereign him
self, which makes him kind of public minis
ter, enjoying in his own right the protection of
the law OF nations and the immunities annexed
to his Office, independently of the Ambassador,
to whose orders he is indeed but imperfectly
subjected, sometimes not at all, and always in
such degree only as their common master has
been pleased to ordain."

THE LAST OF QUITMAN.
Correspondence OF The New York Tribune.


NATcHEz, MISS, April 19, 1855.
have the pleasure of informing you of the
failure of the Quitman Cuba expedition. The
expedition is dead, and no mistake; this news
obtain from headquarters, and is reliable.
About one million of dollars have been expend-
ed, steamers purchased and chartered, and a
large amount invested in muskets, revolvers,
and gunpowder; but everything has gone wrong.

By the arrival of the steamer Granada at
New Orleans, we have news from Havana to
the 23d instant. Com. McCauley had arrived
out, but had not entered upon his diplomatic
duties. Both the steamers San Jacinto and
Princeton were in port. The jamestown left
Havana on the 18th, and arrived at Key West
next day. There was an upward tendency in
the sugar market, owing to a prevalent belief
that the crop would prove short one.
A box containing 1000 letters, many of them
with valuable enclosures, was discovered secret
ed on board the steamer Africa at Boston the
other day. They were seized and carried to the
Custom House. The box belonged to the agent
OF well-known European express company.
The railroad bridge over Grand river at
Evansville, Ohio, was destroyed by fire on the
10th April. 1t was built upon Howe's truss
plan, being TOO feet long, and 80 feet high.
Some OF our Northern cities have of late been

ocrat, April 26th, contains the following:
"Remember that Anthony Burns, the victim
of the Fugitive Slave Law, speaks at Phenix

announce his name to secure full house for
one who has suffered so much for liberty, and
filled so large space in the conversation and
sympathies of the people of New England. Go

The liquor dealers have had mass meeting
in Tammany Hall, New York, to adopt measures
to counteract the execution of the new pro-
hibitory law. The meeting of the friends of
Temperance held ON Thursday evening, in the
Metropolitan Theatre, was denouncedasf anatical
and hypocritical. Mayor Wood has received
the deliberate opinions of the law officers Of
the city, and finds that after the first of May
this community will be enjoying the very
anomalous position of free trade in spirituous
drinks. He calls upon his fellow.citizens to
sustain themselves with prudence during the
brief period allowed for unrestricted indulgence,
so that the Maine law bigots may not have the
argument of forcible example to uphold their
coercive statute. He enjoins upon liquor
dealers to close their places on the Sabbath,
if they would advance their cause. Upon this
point the Mayor is memorable. The Sabbath
must and shall be observed.
We have news from Porto Rico to the 18TH
inst. Discomfort had existed among the mill
tary at st. Johns. On the night of the 9Th a
battalion revoited, took possession of the castle,

FROM HAvANA.-The steamship Isabel, Cap
tain Rollins, arrived at Charleston on Saturday
April 2sth, bringing dates from Havana and
Key West to the 25th. A grand review took
place at Havana on the 22d instant. Commo-
dore McCauley occupied a seat in General Con-
cha's carriage.
Three Creole gentlemen were in prison,
charged with beating four Spanish officers OF
rank.
Several of the Civil Guard are reported to
have been assassinated in the streets.
1t was reported on the Oath, that Commodore
McCauley had effected settlement with Gener
al Concha, of the difficulties between the Uni
ted States and the Cuban authorities. OF course,
this is an exaggeration. The parties had not
adequate powers.
General Concha had invited Commodore Nc.
Cauley to grand banquet.
Sugars and molasses were advancing. Freights
were active.
