important from Cuba.

The Charleston IS. c. Mercury states
that it has received, from a high and per-
fcctly reliable source, intelligence of the
most interesting character from the ISL
and of Cuba. The pacific turn Which the
relations between Spain and the United
State have recently taken, has thrown
complete gloom over the prospects and
hopes of the Creoles. Despairing of re-
ceiying aid from the United States Gov
eminent, and their friends here being pre-
vented by the neutrality laws from going
to their assistance, they have, it seems,
resolved upon desperate leap for free
dom. They have determined to revive
the original idea Of Lord Palmers ton, Of
throwing themselves into the arms of
England, which was not agreed to at the
time, because of the condition of the abo-
lition of slavery. The new Club of Inde-
pendence now consent to admit Of grad
ual emancipation, in order to obtain from
England a guarantee of independence,
and they have referred the subject not on
ly to Lord Palmerston, bat to the aboli-
ton societies of England and France
From the recent rapid and increasing en-
listment of blacks, numbering now six
thousand men, and from other indications,
the Cubans are convinced that the design
of Spain is to Africanise the Island, and
they are willing to anticipate her design,
if by it, they can secure the protection Of
England, aud deliverance from Spanish
oppression. The announcement of such
scheme cannot fail to excite attention in
all quarters Of the country.

Earthquake at Baltimore,

We abridge from the Baltimore Patri-
OF of last evening, the 29th ult., the fol-
lowing account Of an earthquake which
appears to have been sensibly felt in that
city at an early hour yesterday morning.:
PROBABLE EARTHoUAKE.-The citi.
zens of Baltimore, with but few excep-
tons, were startled from their slumbers
between twelve and one o'clock this morn
ing by a singular rumbling noise and os-
cillatory movement Of the earth rcsem-
bling an earthquake. 1t was, so far as we
have been able to learn, heard and felt in
all parts of the city. Many were startled
from sound sleep, and in amazement
rushed to their windows and doors. The
shock was preceded by deep rumbling
noise, a slight tremulousness of the earth,
and this was succeeded by two shocks;
the third so severe that houses were sha-
ken to their foundations, windows and
doors ratified furiously, the furniture sha-
king, and some instances detached articles
slightly removed from their places. In a
very few minutes after this singular phe-
nomenon, though at an hour when one
half the world is wrapped in slumbers,
probably two-thirds of our inhabitants
were awake, anxious to divine the cause
of so novel sensation. Some, who hap
pcned to be up at the time, describe the
shock as remarkably severe. The earth
vibr ated, and seemed to be laboring un-
der some powerful convulsion. The du-
ration of the shocks was probably a half
minute, dying off in a deep toned rum
bling sound, like distant thunder or the
rolling of a heavy car upon the pavement,
losing itself in southern direction. We
have heard of many who were seriously
alarmed, in apprehe of succeeding
shock or pending destructive calamity
We infer that the phenomenon was the
effect of an earthquake at some distant
point, probably in some of the West In
dia Islands. Telegraphic reports states
that no symptoms of an earthquake were
felt either at Washington, Philadelphia,
O. New York.

Hes Nothing but a Mechanic

"He's poor boy and mechanic I"
contemptuously sncered village belle as
her companions rallied her upon the at
tentiou"of young blacksmith. And so
American aristocracy sneers at the hardy
sons of toll. This bellies father had ris-
en- from hostler to shoemaker. and from
shoemaker to pork speculator. A fortu-
nate land purchase carried him clean in
to the upper circles" and his family put
on airs about as natural and becoming as
the colors of the homely- footed peacock.
The blacksmith asked the hand of pork
spectators daughter and was refused =
She looked higher She scorned me-
chaDic She belonged to an aristocratic
family!
The said belle scared high and, lit low
she married stranger who proved to
be a peDniless loafer--a penniless loafer

The blacksmith has been in the Amer
lean Congress, and enjoys an inviable
name as a statesman of talent, integrity
and rare moral worth.
Yet he is nothing but mechanic

A Pleasant Country for a Nervous Man.

A Texas correspondent of an Eastern
paper describes the domestic products OF
that favored land in glowing terms. If
the half of his account is true it must be
a pleasant place for nervous man:
The cattle are not the sole occupants
of the prairie by any means. Droves of
wild horses are not unfrcquent, and deer
are in countless numbers. The small
brown wolf or cayeute is quite common,
and you occasionally get glimpse of bis
large black brother. But Texas is the
paradise of reptiles and creeping things
Battle aud moccasin snakes are numerous
even to shake a stick at; the bite of the
former is easily cured by drinking raw
whiskcy till it produces complete intoxi-
cation; but for the latter,there is no cure.
The tarantula is a pleasant institution to
get into quarrel with. He is spider,
with body about the size Of a hens egg
and legs five or six inches long, and COW
cred with long coarse black hair. He
lies in the cattle tracks, and if you see
him, move out of his path, as his bite is
absolutely certain death, and he never
gets out of any ones way, but can jump
eight ar ten feet to infict his deadly bite
Then there is the centipede, furnished
with an unlimited number of legs, each
leg armed with claw, and eaeh claw in
ficting separate wound. If he walks
over you at night you will have cause to
remember him for many months to come,
as the wound is of particularly poison
Gus nature and is very difficult to heal
The stinging lizard is lesser evil, the
sensation of its wound being likened to
the application of a red-hot iron to the
person; but one is too thankful to escape
with life to consider these lesser evils any
annoyance. But the insects! flying, creep
ing, jumping, running, digging, buzzing
singing, they are every where. Ask for
cup o. water, ana ttihe rcjoinedcr in our
camp ia, :'IVill you have it with bug OF
Without" The horned frog is one of the
greatest curiosities here, and is perfectly
harmless. 1t has none of the cold Shiny
qualities of his northern brother, but is
frequently made a pet Of Chamelions
are innumerable, darting over the prairie
in every direction with inconceivable
swiftness undergoing their peculiar chang
ing of color, corresponding to the color Of
the object under which they may be-
The woods on the banks of the bayous
perfectly alieve with mocking- birds sing
ing most beautifully, and feathered game
is abundant and very tame, as it is scar
cely ever sought after. The only varie.
ties that have seen are the quail, par
fridge, snipe, mallard, ployer, and prai'
rie hen"

ARRIVAL OF THE BALTIC.
Further success by the Allies.

Neso York, June 2s.-l o'clock, A. NJ
The steamship Baltic, from Liverpool
with European dates to the 10th inst, has
just reached her berth.
The papers furnish the details of the
French capture of the Mamelon and White
Works, after a sanguinary conflict, il
which 5000 men were killed and wounded
The French took sixty-two guns and 50t
prisoners ;-and their new position enables
them to shell the shipping in the harbol
of Sebastopol.
simultaneously with this gallant actor
by the French, the English stormed and
took the rifemen's works in the quarries
but lost 500 men in killed and wounded
Since then the firing has been slak.
The Allied fleets have achieved fresh
successes in the Sea of Azoff, and have
burned the stores at Tajaurog, MariopoI
and Genitsack, and boat expedition is
fitting out against Perekep.
The Russians are reported to have e.
vacuated Anapa.
There is nothing from Tchernaya OF

Dress.

AS the tailors are constantly putting off
their goods as "LondoD Fashions" the
following extract from the London Week
ly Times may give some idea of the taste
of that metropolis -
''It is somewhat singular that the pass
ion for dress, among males, is almost en-
tirely confined to tradesmen, and persons
IN the forrest ranks Of life. There are no
people in the world who dress SO plainly
as those of the House of Lords and House
of Commons. Indeed, there are but few
members of those august bodies, whom a
Fleet-street shopman would not turn up
his nose at in the street There are many
people who are not yet aware that in good
society it isconsidered mark of Uuiqarl-
ty to be dressed particularly aee2"
In the streets Of London, the style Of
dress is an indication of the character of
females,-those of character and fortune
may be seen in rich but cjaste attire !;
while those who have rcnouDced every
claim to decency, are futtering in all the
glare of frippery, and of what in some
parts of America would be called fash
ioH.
