05- There was almost Last Island affair down at
the mouth of our river during the heavy blow OF
Sunday night and Monday. But small margin OF
bare sand was left between the raging swell of the
ocean and the buildings erected for the residence OF
the persons engaged upon the works at Zekes Island
The oldest inhabtant" having been hunted up, and
questioned on the subject, knew of nothing like it
within his recollection The view of the ocean roar
ing over the sandy beach, tumbling in and breaking
into snow>whie foam, was grand but terrific, espe.
cially 10 those occupying the small patch of sand
which alone remained visible to represent Zeke's Is
land The works stood the test perfectly.

The Slave Trade of Cubo.

A correspondent of the New York Times, writing
from Havana under date of August 25th, saws -

negroes from the coast OF Africa landed at Bahia

bonds was two hundred and fifty. Two cargoes
have been landed in the past six weeks to the east.

These landings said to be effected by vessels
built in the United States and commanded by persons
claiming to be citizens of your Republic. On the
south side of Cuba there have been several landings
made in the past three months, which have intro.

subjects. 1t is almost impossible to obtain correct
data of the Infamous traffic on either side of Cuba
officials of the Government the various localities
seem 10 be interested in the concealment"
The writer states that within the last four months
no less than FOURTEEN THOUSAND slaves have been
landed in Cuba. The amount of guilt involved in
this black business is indeed fearful. 1t is almost
impossible to conceive the extent of misery that has
been suffered by the wretched beings alluded to-
