Cubans and the Slave-Trade.

The correspondent of the New York
Journal Of Commerce, writing from Ha-
vana on the 9Th instant, says:
The African slave-trade appears to
prosper, despite all the efforts made to
check it. Scarcely week elapses that
we do not hear of Africans having been
landed in some one or other part of the
island.
Another contract is reported to have
been entered into by commercial house
of this city, to bring know not how many
thousands of Chinese from China to this
island Some of that class of persons,
who have been here a year or two, have
amassed quite considerable sums of money
and l believe their masters, perhaps from
fear of causing the Chinese to revolt, are
now treating them with much greater hui
manity and kindness than was formerly
practised toward them.
The Spanish ship Hemigiante arrived
yesterday from China, with three hundred
and twenty Chinese unfortunates, doomed
to lifelong slavery. During the past
seven days seven hundred and sixty-fve
Aslatics have been disposed of at from
$I70 to $490 per head.

The recent Treaty with England.

BY the first article Of the recent treaty
between the United States and Great
Britain, the hecontraeting parties agree joint
| ly to propose to the public of Nicaragua
and Costa Rica that Ia territory shall be
set apart. for the Mosquito Indians. The
boundary is to be designated and marked
by two commissioners to be appointed one
by her Britalic Majesty and one by the
President Of the Republic Of Nicaragua.
The 4th article declares that the Re-
publics Of Nicaragua and Costa Rica shall
allow the territorial disputes between them,
and the limits or an extension to be Civ
given to the town Of San Juan and Grey
town, if the same cannot be amicably ad-
ljusted between themselves, and that town
to be settled by the arbitration of the Q.
S. and Great Britain, who, in any doubt
fnl point shall be able to call for the de-
cision of a third party.
The Republic of Nicaragua shall con
stitute and declare the port Of Greytown
or San Juan a free port, and the city a
free city, though under the sovreign of the
Republic whose inhabitants shall enjoy the
| right to govern themselves by means of
their own municipal government, to be
administered by Legislative, executive and
judicial officers of their own election, ac-
cording to their negotiations, trial by ju-
ry i'll their own courts, perfect freedom Of
religious belief and of worship, public and
private.
Article 9th provides that the two Gov
ernments bind themselves in the case if
the Republic of Nicaragua and Costa
Rica or either Of them, should refuse to
accept the arrangement contained in the
preceding article, not to propose nor con-
sent to any other arrangements more ia
vorable to the refusing party or parties.
In addition to the articles mutually
agreed and understood, that her Britanic
Majesty's settlement called the Balze or

tered into between the contracting par
ties, on the 18th of April, 1850; and that
tuC liIlliiS VI Sdiu oH tnC West, uS

1850, shall, if possible, be settled aud fx-
ed by the treaty between her Britanic
Majesty and the Republic Of GautemaIa
within two years from the exchange of the
ratification of this Instrument, which said
boundary and limits shall not at any time
hereafter be extended; that the Islands
known as the Bay Islands, having been by
Convention bearing date the 9th day
of August, 1856, between her Bratanic
Majesty and the Republic Of Honduras,
the two contracting parties do hereby mu-
tually engage to recognize and respect
in all future time, the independence and
rights of the said free territory, as a part
of the Republic of Honduras.

Fight between American and Spanish
Sailors.

On the afternoon of October ! |, some
sailors belonging to the United States
corvette, jamestown, then lying in Mon
tevideo Harbor were drinking in tavern,
when they fell into difficulty with sal
lor belonging to Spanish brig-of-war,
who drew knife and stabbed one of the
Americans to death The Americans
attacked the Spaniard, who fed; but soon
returned with his companions, when a Sc
we're fight ensued, that neither the police
nor citizens of Montevideo dared arrest
The fight was with knives and stones.
The Montevedeans gathered around and
looked on by hundreds, but did not inter-
fere. Finally, two boats, with officers and
marines from the jamestown, came ashore
and an end was soon put to the melee,
the rioters being taken off. The Ameri-
cans lost one man killed and several
wounded. The commander of the James
torn had made demand upon the Span
ish Consul for the punishment of the
murderer, and showed his displeasure at
the death of his man, by not saluting the
Spanish flag on the feast of the Spanish
Queen. The Jamejlown was the only
mar,of-war in port that did not honor

Complainant to Senator Pugh from Gen,
Cass,

We notice by the report of the Con-
gressional proceedings in the Washing
ton Union, that Gen Cass pronounced a
high compliment upon the late speech of
Senator Pugh, of this State for the sound
ness of its logic and the beauty and elo-
quenee of its Illustrations. This enco-
MUM, coming from the first and most en-
incnt statesman and public Rlan now upon
the political arena, shows the high esti-
nation which is put upon the abilities
and character of oar young and gifted
Senator in Washington. Mr. Pugh, al
though one Of the youngest men who
was ever elected to the United States
Senate-indeed he was barely eligible
when chosen-had, by his successful and
brilliant professional! and political career
in Ohio attained wide fame and distinc-
ton, and he has we'll fulfilled the expec-
tations of his friends. by adding to it in
his Senatorial service. Ohio, which for
many years has been most ably represented
in the Senate by her Morrises, Aliens
Corwins, and Ewings, has lost nothing in
prestige and character by her present rep
resentative.--Cin. Enq.

The PORK TRADE.-The CINCINNATI
Price Current of Wednesday quotes hogs
in active demand in that market at 50a
Sc SO per cwt, The receipts ofthe season
foot up 250,213 head, against 255, ,0s2
for the same period last year. There is
falling off in weight as well as number
throughout the west. The important
fact, however, is mentioned by the Price
Current that the number of hogs shipped
east from the west, this season, by railway
is fully so per cent, greater than last
year. This in great measure accounts
for the falling off in the number of hogs
brought to market in the west.

Chinese Revolution Posture
of Affairs.

The North China Herald contains an
extended article from Rev. w. A. Mar
tin, dated Ningpoo, April II, 1856, in
which very interesting account is given
of the origin of the present revolutionary
movement, and the successes and the sub
sequent reverses which attended the Insur-
gent force, and proceeds to show that the
ground once lost by them is now being
rapidly regained. The exultation of the
Imperialists was of short duration, In
predicting the certain downfall of the
Manchu dynasty the writer remarks:
This is gloomy prospect for those who
have witnessed the horrible carnage of
Chinese warfare, and dsheartening to
those merchants who are struggling with
fluctuations Of a crippled commerce, in
hopes that returning peace will indemnify
them for their present losses.
But while the bloody tragedy may be
reduced to its minimum length by the tri-
umphs (not likely to be very speedy of
the Nankin insurgents, nothing is more
certain than that any attempt on the part
of foreign government to restore peace
by aiding the Manchus to suppress the
rebellion would protract the struggle, ag.
gravate the calamity of the Chinese and
harm the permanent interest of foreigners
For no man who is acquainted with China
can doubt that the dominion of the Man
chm sovereigns is about to expire. Bank

pire were even tranquilized by the power

they would be utterly impotent to MAIN
tain it in that condition.
+ Mr.. Martin says, with modification,
that nearly all the foreigners engaged
against tho insurgents are Americans, and
protests against his eountrymen partici-
pating in the strife going on in that EN-
pire. Their efforts, he says, cannot he
followed by any permanent success. The
Emperor had summoned the assistance of
seven tribes of Mongols, but this measure
would only arouse more fally the national
anImosity of the Chinese.
