4 The following remarks respecting tue teat AN
dienca Pictorial superior court of the Island, de-
rived from lengthy conversation with one Of the
leading members Of the bar Of that court, will not,
trust be considered altogether devoid of interest
It is now nearly three months since the Regente,
(Ghief Justice and eight Judges from the Real Au-
diencia Pictorial were removed from office, and dur.
ing that period four of the Judges have taken their
place.
In ordert to gil up the vacancy, new Regente Con
gales Corral came from Puerto Rico, and the Judges
Cortes Ramon Marin and Santeliz, have arrived from
SPAIN but all those who are required to complete the
number of Judges Of the Superior Court have not as
yet arrived SO that the court does not yet possess
any settled character the old members and the new
have no agreement among themselves, and great in
jury is sustained to the public service by this uneer
tain and transtory character of the Superior Court
by the changes and preyarcatiOns attributed to the old
Judges, Vueta, Portillo, Villalon and Bonaio. The
Real Audencia Pictorial does not appear to possess
a single trait by which can be made out the temper
and disposition of those to whom is entrusted the adj
mnistration of justice, It is said the new Regente
was once an upright and exemplary man; as yet he
has done nothing but lend himself to the caprice Of
and follows out the suggestions of colleague saneliz
who was Judge in Puerto Rico, and whose judgments
there proved him to be so incapable, aud so wanting
in honesty have led to prosecutions against him.
The Regente conided the task of making an address
at the opening of the Superior Court to another
Judge feeling is stated himself quite incapable to
discharge that duty in which opinion the practi.
TONERS in the Superior Court and the public perfectly
coincide. Pdrturiunt nlentes nascitur ridiculous

Havana, 10th December, 1858. Signed by all the
members of the most excellent Ayuntamiento.
have in my letter of 20thinsant stated how little
right the Ayuntamiento has to be considered the ex
ponents of the popular feeling of the inhabitants Of
this city and it only remains for me to add that it is
well known that many of its members have not long
since expressed filibuster principles for instance.
Senior Don Narciso Foxa one Of the prime movers in
this movement was some seven years ago ION terms Of
great intimacy with friend of mine whom he in.
