1t is well known that American vessels, for some

cruisers, which have boarded and inspected them

lays off and on the harbor of Havana, has been
SO particularly impudent, that much indigna-
ton among the American shipmasters in Ha-
vana was the consequence. gentleman of the
utmost reliability, from Havana by the Black
Warrior, arrived last night, brings information
that the American ship captains had held a
meeting, and taken measures to have all the cannon
and armament which is board their various ships
placed on one of their number, which shall be well
manned and proceed to sea with the design of cap
turing the saucey little British cruiser when she
overhauls the ship, she very surely would, in
cordance with her usual practice. If this report is
as well founded as it apparently is substantiated
we may possibly hear how John Bull caught Tar
tar per the next arrival.
We hear something of the seizure of the Ameri-
can orig Cortes carried into Jamaica, by this iden
teal cruiser, but have no particulars further.-M

LATEST FROM VENEZUELA.

By the arrival of the barque Rowena at Philadel-

ezueia. The dates are Caracas 10Th and Laguayra
10Th OF April. The Rowena brought the commits
sioners appointed to invite the return of exPres-
dent Paez to Venezuela. AT Caracas great excite
ment prevailed in consequence of the publicity of
scheme concocted by the Minister of Foreign Affairs
and the foreign diplomats, whereby Monagas was
70 bs saved from the punishment which it was con-
slderec his crimes against the State merited. The
PROVISIONS government had repudiated the action

respondent at Laguayra says: 'the country, since
the overthrow of the Monagas dynasty, is quiet
and prosperous; business has already resumed its
wonted activity, and confidence is perfectly re-
stored. Ex-President Monagas is still under the
close observance of the police, but will not be tried
until General Paez returns"

4 WIFE COMPRESSED INTO A
RING

A certain Russian noble, who lately Wis
tied Paris, was noticed to be constantly
plunged in deep sadness. He wore on his
finger very remarkable ring, large enough
for bracelet, and extended over his hand
like a buckler for the ring finger. It was
OF greenish color, and vas traversed by
red veins. 1t attracted Tie attention of
everybody, but no one was bold enough to
interrogate the ny sterious stranger, until
one day lady, meeting him in public
parlor, ventured to say, g You wear a very
handsome ring" The Russian made "a
movement as though he would conceal his
hand, but that feeling gave way to desire
to unburden himself. 1t is not a ring"
he answered, but sepulchre - 4 shud-
der passed through the whole company
" This jewel, madam" he continued, q is
my wife | lad the misfortune to lose her
some years since, in Russia. She was an
Italian, and dreaded the icy bed which
awaited her after this life [ carried her
remains to Germany, where [ was acquaint-
ed with a celebrated chemist, whom | di-
rected to make of the body solid sub
stance, which | could always carry about
me. Eight days afterward he sent for me
and showed me the empty coffin, horrid
collection of instruments and alembics.-
This jewel was lying on table. He had
through means of some corrosive substan-
ces and powerful pressure reduced and
compressed that which was my wife, into
this jewel, which shall never more leave
me-"
This burial by chemistry is an improve
ment upon the process of cremation lately
proposed by the French papers. Should
it become popular widow may hereafter
have her husband made into a bracelet with
a chain attached to remind her of the hy-
meneal bond; a husband will have his wife
done into a pin, and certain academicians
old togies-we know would make very
good coat buttons.-N. !. Tribune.
