Tue SrGAR CRoP.-A letter from Havana
to the n. Y. Times, dated April 3, says:
1t is.now pretty we'll acknowledged that the
sugar crop in this island will be shorter at
least by one fifth than last years. Interest
ed parties are doing their best to conceal the
truth, but the time is fast approaching when
the official statements must be published. A
large number of estates have already finished
grinding, particularly in the vicinity of Man
tanIas. Throughout the whole Island the
cane has been more or less injured by the
strong winds and excessively hard rains. IL
addition to these calamities, the heavy frostl
bit the young growth. have heard, also
that the yield has been quite small, compare.
with that Of previous years, to such an ex
tent that many of the estates have made a
least thirty per cent. less than last year.
This has had the effect of raising the price
TO the present cxorbitans standard, from
which they will not abate.

WAR IN LiBERIA.-We have seen letters
from several Of the missionaries employed by
the Methodist Episcopal Church in Liberia,
from which We learn that a furious war i.
raging in the vicinity OF Cape Palmas. be-
tween the colonists and the natives. Thirty
seven American houses and much propert,
have been destroyed, and twenty eight live
have been lost. All the missionary and blu
siness matters were ut a stand.
A detAshment Of one hundred and City mel
had left Monrovia for Cape Palmas, on boar'
a schooner, with ex-President Roberts an.
Vice President Yates, to aid the colonists.
We understand that the settlement immedi
stely at Cape Palmas has not been destroy
ed and it 10 hoped it will be able to resist th
attacks Of the natives. We do not under
stand yet the immediate cause Of the war

In the northern part of the State, than at

An Arctic Night Described by Fsaynrd
Taylor.

Bayard Taylor penetrated SO far North
that daylight was only two hours long. The
sun arose scarcely more than the breadth oil
his disc above the horizon, and shed fain,
orange light over the broad snow plains, and
then sunk out Of sight for TWENTY-FIVE hours
Says Taylor:
Here We were, ut last, entering the Arctic
zone, in the dead Of winter-the realization
OF dream which had often flashed across
my mind, when lounging under the tropical
plains, so natural is it for one extreme 10
suggest the opposite.
To-day has been day to be remembered
such glory Of twilight splendors for six
full hours was beyond all the charms Of day.
light in any zone. We started at seven, with
o temperature Of 20 deg. below zero, still
keeping up the left bank OF the Tornea.--
The country now rose into bold hills, and the
features Of the scenery became broad and
majestic. The Northern sky was again pure
violet, and pale red tinge from the dawn
rested on the tops Of the snowy hills. The
prevailing color Of the sky slowly Frightened
into lilac, then into pink, then rose color
which again gave way to food OF splendid
orange when the sun appeared.
Every change Of color affects the tone o.
the landscape. The woods, SO wrapped il
snow that not green needle was to be seen
took by turns the hues Of the sky, and seem
ed to give out, rather than to reflect, the op
alescent lustrs Of the morning. The sun
! shine frightened instead Of dispelling thes
| effects. At noon the suns disc was not NOR,
than one deg. above the horizon, throwing ,
/ level golden light on the hills. The north
before us was as blue as the Mediterranean
and the vault OF heaven over head, canopieI
US with pink. Every object was glori6e'
| and trans6gured in the glow.
Our road now crossed the river and KEEP
up the Russian side to place with the charm
ing name of Torakankorwa. The afternoon
twilight was even more wonderful than thu
Of the forenoon. There were broad band
Of purple, pure crimson and intense yellow
all fusing together into fiery orange at tn
south, while the north became setai -vanl
, Of pink, then lilac, and then the softest vic
let. The dazzling Arctic hills participate
in this play Of colors, which did not fade, q
in the south, but stayed, and stayed, as

HISTORICAL EVIDENCE or THE AUTHENTICITY
OF THE BIBLE REcoRp.-The Paris CORES
pendent of the Journal Of Commerce thus
alludes to the discoveries made by Sir Henry
Rawlinson in Assyria, con6rmatory oft he
Bible Record
"Among the recent public lectures in
London, you may be struck with that Of Sir
Henry Rawlinson on late Oriental discoveries
in relation to the Bible. 1t occupied nearly
an hour aud . half. Sir Henry expatistsd on
| some of the most important results of his
discoveries in Assyria, Constituting veri-
6casion Of scripture history he illustrated
his topic by numerous drawings and models
taken from the sculptures now in the British
Museum. He could induce, by abundant
coincidence, the authenticity Of Holy Writ.
The earliest period to which the inscrip-
tons he had found referred, wss about two
thousand years before Christ. The whole
country Of Assyria had been exoavated in
the course of his researches; multitude Of
inscriptions had been deciphered, and 10
many instances they confirmed, in tho minu-
test details, the pages of scripture and
explained passages which had hitherto been
obscure. The instances which he had cited
teen with instruction and force; the inter-
probation or derivation Of names in particular.
The earliest connection Of the Chaldees
! and Indians and the Babylonian mythology
the ethnology and geography of the Assyrians
the historical records, are all illustrated in
every case, there is an entire agreement with
the Bible. The lecturer inferred from his
studies that the Book Of Job belonged to .
time about seven hunrded years before
Christ. In the inscriptions there is period
OF nearly thousand years, without the
mention Of Judos, but during that period
there Was no inducement for intercourse
between the Assyrians and the Jews. The
visit Of the Queen OF Sheba to Solomon was
verified. So, the wars between Scnnacherib
and Iezekiah. There wero four distinct
captives Of the Jews. Some inscription,
referred to the time Of Nebuchadnexxar
othors threw light on tho existence and
actions Of Bslshaxzar, who was joint Kins
with his father Minus, and who shut himself
up in Nineveh.

wHo Knows 2-The Rev. Henry Bellows
has accepted an invitation to speak in de-
fence Of the stage. at An approaching dra-
matte festival in New York. OF course il is
not very strange circumstance in this age,
that Reverend gentleman should be found
TO consent to appear rs the advocate and de-
fender Of the theatre, when thousands OF the
clergy, and even entire denominations OF
christians, are found defending Slavery with
its real nominations, tenfold worse than the
fictitious evils Of the drama. But il il more
than strange that Fanny Kemble, whose life
has been devoted TO the stage, and whose
fame is founded upon the celebrity achieved
on it, should write letter, ~ she is repre-
