Tho commander of the British war
steamer Styx is assuming considerable
jurisdiction in the ecqterS and upon the
shore of Cuba. A few days since he or
dered detachment of marines on shore at
a small port to the eastward, with instruc-
tons to search sundry plantations from
eight to fifteen miles interior from the point
oflanding, giving as an excuse that he had
suspicion of a cargo OF negroes having been
landed in the vicinity, which he wished to
seize, &c. No negroes had been landed in
that part of the country, so that the forag-
ing party centented themselves with small
henroost plumber, and a pig thrown in to
cure their disappointment, This very gall
LIANT commander stated in conversation at
Matanzas the other day q have it from
good authority that he was determined to
make money out of the slave trade, IN one
toay or another. 1t has been said that the
officers of the gun boats are very "facile"
when pressed with a sack of ounces, but |
did not suppose the commander of the Styx
could be brought down to such Charon-
rates of ferriage. Gen. Coneha has caused
the captain of the district where the land
ing was effected, to be brought to Havana
in irons, to account for his conduct in not
preventing it, by force of arms. The i'm
pudence of the Styx representative of the
gun boat feet will not be endured by the
government of Cuba.

BGA correspondent of the New York
Times, writing from the camp Of the Utah
army, says:
On the 25th of February most impor-
tant discovery of large quantity of pow
der was made at Fort Bridger. It.seems
that Messrs. Russell & Waddle, the Gov
eminent freight contractors, had engaged
last spring to bring out several thousand
pounds of freight for Mr.. Hooper, Nor
mon merchant at Salt Lake City, who was
indebted to them in order to secure the
payment of the debt This freight was
sent with the Government trains, but its
delivery was, of course, forbidden by Col.
Alexander as soon as he was informed of
the fact, when he overlook the trains last
fall; it was accordingly brought here with
the other Government freight. The box
es were such as are ordinarily sent to this
country with merchandise, and were mark
ed dry goods, hardware, crockery, &C., as
usual. Upon examination, however, it
was found that every box contained, hid
den among and surrounded with dry goods
and other articles, one or more kegs of
powder, the whole amounting TO eight
thousand pounds.
This powder was put up in this manner
for the Mormons by some mercantile firm
in St. Louis, and it should be ascertained
who they are, in order to let the public
know the traitors who are aiding in this
rebellion.

FALSE RUMoRs.-A report was circula-
ted yesterday that the Nashville banks had
thrown out the notes of all the free banks
of Tennessee. One of our brokers tele-
graphed to Nashville an received in answer
that there was no foundation for the re-
port The Nashville Banner, of Sunday
has the following in relation to the Bank
of Shelbyville.
Rumors were put in circulation on Fri
day in this city by malicious persons, we
are assured, injurious to the credit of this
institution, and the excited state of the
public mind incident to the recent failure
Of the Exchange Bank gave them unwar-
ranted credence. These rumors were false
and unfounded We are assured by lead
ing citizens and men of undoubted relia-
bility that there is no institution in the
State in more healthy condition or more
worthy of credit AS far as this city is
concerned the rumors have done the insti
tuition no injury.

With noiseless step, and light;
And the fcathsred pinstrels seek their homes,
Awed by approaching night.
I'll think Of thee when night shall million deck
The blue-srohed vault of heaven,
With sparkling gems, which earth's children recl
As guiding stars were given;
OF thee, Beloued One, when the light

And every JOY that now seems bright,
Ard all my dreams Of bliss have fad.
IN think of thee while gliding down the stream
Of time,
OF thee fore'er as now,
Should high ambition fail to Irvine,
chapet round thy brow;
OF thee when to the billowy shore
OF death my II e-boat shall be driven,
