a. high a. FIVE ounces ($s5) head for each slave

Now that the spirit of specializing association 10 20
rife among US, wonder why it is that we have
not had q company to insure the landing Of African
slaves; for, if properly managed, l feel conhdens

MIR. Morat succeeded at last in initiating his bal
loon, and made Il magnificent ascension last
Sunday evening. The cords were cut loose at
6 o'clock precisely and he rose to the great hight
of IL, 600 feet He was up in the clouds about an
hour and hall, and descended few miles from
the city without a scratch. When be had attained
the greatest hight, the last beams OF the setting
sun reflected 80 strongly on the balloon that IL ap-
peared as if it was ibfamed. The optical illusion
lasted about FIVE minutes, and the Thousands OF
spe ctators who were gazing on him were hlled
with the greatest anxiety. The twilight soon dis
sipated all cause of alarm, and Mr.. Norat may
now be considered the most successful aef0naut
of the four who have been amusing our public for
the last three months. Every one seems to have
forget bis first Intellectual attempts to initiate his
balloon, and the authorities have ordered Gil the
moneys collected at his former exhibitions TO be
paid over to him. The Cuban aerOnaut will try
his luck next Sunday, if the weather prove favor
able Several email balloons were sent up that
were very good indeed One of them, instead OF
a car, had the figure Of horse and rider attached,
and was lost in the clouds.
went to the bull. fight last Sunday evening to
crafty my curiosity, as / had never seen one be-
fore. saw three bulls killed, alter being mangied
in the most cruel and beastly manner The ferc-
est animals were those recently imported from
Mexico for the purpose OF gratifying the vicious
tastes of the Spanish part of our population. There
were several ladies present, but, to the honor OF
Cuba, they were not natives of the Island. They
seemed to enjoy the savage sport - much as the
men. large number Of horses were gored by
the bulls and three of the men came near losing
their lives on two or three different occasions.
After witnessing the enthusiasm Of the masses for
this barbarous relic Of Rome, one ought not to be
surprised at the effects it must produce on the
morals of this people.
