From Our ows Correspondents
HAVANA, Aug. g, 1857.
The famous SLAYER schooner Broma, that was con-
demned ard cold in New-YOrk some m onths since,
ssil.d from hee last Sunday undcr the command
of the celebrated Captain Smith, who was convicted
of having been engaged ia the savetrade about
three years ago. saw him short time before nc
lef ard questioned hin as to his fears of second
rspturc. He assured me that he had fixed Things
in such a way that even if detected, he could not
be sentenced to death BY an American Court. he
has taken cut his papers as bona fde Spanish sub
;ect. He went 20 far as to request several by
islanders TO write to the Eew-York papers aud in
form Mr. McKeOn of his present whereabouts.
The brig Telegraph also sailed for the Coast few
Slays previous to the Brema. Both vessels belong to
fhe same owners and both cl. AIRED at our Custom
House for st. Thomas and market. No impede
ment whatever opposed to their egresS from this
port The American schooner Niagara is here
ittnr out for the Coast, and it is whispered around
that she will leave in the latter part of next week
Beside tbese three Of the NewOrleans packets
have been sold for the trade.
The, American bark MinnetOnka arrived here
about two weeks ago, and after landing her cargo,
some 500 in plumber, proceeded to Iucatau, there
to procure clean papers if possible Her ultimate
destination is the port Of Newly ork so that would
be well for the authorities to be on the lockout tor
her. The brig Win. Miller, formerly running be-
tween this port and New Orleans, landed her cargo
about the same time a. the Mnnetonka, and was
burned to the waters edge. The captain escaped
and went away in one Of the steamers. The acting
American Consul. MIR. Thomas Savage, has arrested
two Of the sailors belonging to the brig VIM. Miller,
-
others have all escaped.
have heard Of several other landings on the
orth coast and Of two near Trinidad, but rs have
not heard the names Of the vessels, or the circum-
stances cannot vOuch for the truth of the report.
Enough has been said to prove that the trade is far
from being dull aid that the 1nericans are its most
actiye abettors Now that the time for the meeting
of Congress approaches it would be well to urge on
their attention the importance OF changing the law
with respect to the sale Of American vessels to
American citizens living in foreign ports. This de-
feet in our laws is the reason why our flag prefer
red above all others to carry on the saVetrade. Its
modification will do much toward the suppression
of the odous traffic and save true Americans the
shame and modification of seeing the flag of their
tountry polluted by horde of their degenerate coun.
trymen and unprincipled foreigners, who only appeal
70 it for their wicked ends.
TIE spirit Of speculation has received severe
check this last week. and stocks have fallen. The
Banks were obliged to suspend payment for two
days. They have commenced again, but make
slow work Of it. The Captan-Gcneral called q
meeting of all the large capitalists and merchants
and s., coo, 900 were raised to enable the Spansf
Bank TO issue hOtes TO that amount, which sum Ii
considered sufficient to ease the market. His Elk
ceepey has refused charters to some $50 companies
that had applied for them.
The yellow fever continues its ravages but Ii
chiefly confined to the vessels In the hTbor. The
sailors in tho Spanish squadron have suffered the
most. hear Of but few cases among the citizens
