Later from Havana.

BY the steamship Quaker City, which arrived at
Mobile on Wednesday morning, from New York via
Havana, we have intelligence from the latter city to
the 18th inst.
There is no news Of particular importance.
The Prensa complains bitterly of the manner in
which the Habaneros celebrated Resurrection Day. A
regular fuslade was kept up with all sorts Of small
firearms, pistols muskets and blunderbusses some Of
them even loaded with ball stray shot struck the
chimney of the Prensa's steam machinery, and amid
the universal firing it was impossible to tell whence it
came. The Prensa thinks that kind of demonstra-
ton would do for California town or una rancho
ria 4ticana,' but not for the civilized and enght
ened city of Havana. The editor probably never Wis
tied an American city on the fourth of July.
Two brutal murders occurred in Havana, one on
the sth and one on the 9th. The first victim was
French organ grinder, who, attempting to punish a
negro in his employ, was fatally cut and stabbed in
many places. A young man named Palomino was
stabbed TO the heart, by a negro it was supposed
who made his escape.
Mons. Goaard the great aronaut, was still at ffa
yana making balloon ascensions. . H., ,s.rs..
The life Of the British Consul at Trinidad de Cuba
had been threatened in consequence of his nterfer-
ence in savetrade operations. He will do we'll not
to depend upon the authorities for protection.
Heavy rains had fallen in many parts of the island.

On Sunday morning last, 18th of April, the very
unusual phenomenon of snow storm, was witnessed
IN this section. The snow commenced falling at 4
O'Clock, and continued until nearly l0-a depth on
the honse-tops and grass plats of about two inches
Almost all the forest and ornamental trees-such as
were hardy enough to withstand the freeze of the
previous week were clothed in the dark green of spring
time and the contrast with the virgin white of the
snow was striking and beautiful. 4 great manv won
derfu things have happened in old times but we
venture to say no one is old enough to remember
seeing the earth covered with snow in this latitude
on the 18th of April The weather has since been
cold, with bleak northern winds The cotton is now
three weeks backward, the fruit and gardens de-
stroyed and large portion of the corn must be re-
planted.
The Vicksburg papers mention the same storm,
and the Natchez Courier says:
The most singular and wonderful spectacle of
sented to our citizens on Sunday morning last With
cod northwest wind blowing, the snow fell to the
depth of fully four inches the level, but did not
long remain on the ground after the sun appearance
1t was strictly tropical snow-storm making for
time most grand as well as most singular appearance
on Southern Easter Sunday. Snow the middle of
April in Natchez, Mississippi! Verify, the coolest

HoRRIBLE.-On Wednesday last, the rumor came to
town that two men, not known and one horse had
been found on that morning floating in small bayou
near Red river, some twelve miles from Marksve.
Yesterday, Of our citizens returned from te place
of this sad and informed US that the bodies
of these two men had remained in the bayou since
they were first discovered, and were so mutlated by
hogs and buzzards feeding upon them as to be totally
undistinguishabie, nothing remaining but mass Of
crushed bones, which were inferred. Up to the time
of going to press discovery has been made relative
to the certain causes of their DEATH but they are sup
posed to have been pedlers, who, attempting to cross
this bayou on horseback, were accidentally drowned.
Near the bodies was found an old pocket.book con.
tanning divers papers but as we have not vet seen
them, we can't say what light they will throw upon
the identity of the persons.

THE lEoN TEA trial was made at Mr.. Scott $
pickery yesterday Of the efficacy of aeombs iron tie
for cotton bales, by Mr. Beatty, the agent here. Two
bales submitted to the process the first of which
was entirely successful, we believe. In the second
of the bands burst al the clip after the bale
had been removed from the press
In the opinion, We think, of all spectators, the ad
yanlage OF the new method was established, for all
hands employed were new to the manner and the thin
iron may reasonably be thought to have given way
from the lack of skill practice in the linking One
great Improvement was palpable; the bale did not
rise single inch after the pressure raised. The
bands formed of very light ron were painted to pre-
vent rust and there seems feasible reason to sup
pose such ties would injure cotton on the voyage
where iron ships, when coated with paint, show no
corrosiou. Ropes yield quickly to fire, and the open
