on the 9Th inst, states that the authorities there
had chartered the steamer Santa Cruz, placed her
under command of an American named Norton
and despatched her to San Bias to capture con-
Quota with four millions of dollars from Guadala
jara, the object being to enforce the payment OF
the usual export duty. 1t is sad however, that the
duty had already been paid but that the authorities
would have no hesitation in capturing and confis'
eating the whole amount. The Brit sh ship of war
Calypso, was lying of San Bias, waiting the arri-
| val Of the conducta, and a collision between her
and Norton forces was regarded as inevitable
The Empire City arrived at this port from Ha-
vana last evening, with news dated to the 23d
inst A very important postal arrangement had
been concluded between the Captain General and
the United States Consul General by which the
mails for the United States will be made up in the
Office of the Consulate General and after the LIST
Of November next. This will greatly facii
tate the punctual transmission OF financial
| commercial and other advices to this coun
| try. The transactions in sugar were light, but
prices had not fallen. There was a good deal Of
intermittent fever in Havana, but the city was re-
ported healthy. Two passengers-Messrs Cloyd
| and Mullaly-died on board the Empire City.
The surveying party which went from this city,
under John Mcleod Murphy, to the Pacific coast

The trial of Capt. Carpenter, of the Sixteenth ward
Police, for his conduct in smothering the investiga
ton as to the suicide of Mrs. Inness at house Of
designation in Twenty-fourth street, and his undue
intimacy with the keeper Of the house, was COM
menced by the Police Commissioners yesterday.
The bad reputation of the house was proven by q
multitude of Witnesses and it was shown that Capt
Carpenter frequented the house at unreasonable
hours. The testimony in regard to the Coroner's
apology for an inquest seems to implcate that Off
cial as well as Capt Carpenter. Our report of the
trial will be found interesting.
The condition of Virginia Stewart remained ~
changed yesterday, except that she had occa-
sional CLEANS of consciousness, during which she
conversed little with her mother and nurse. Last
evening, however, the physician of the hospital
stated that she was in much more serious condi
ton and is fast growing worse. One of the girls
who was with her when she was shot, and who ap.
pears to be very much attached to the sufferer got
permission to go to the hospital from the House of
Detention today to attend on her friend. She is,
however, under the surveillance Of an officer.

inc Commissioners, not having signifed desire to

sibe for the Of the patients sent there The
port concluded by recommending the reduction of
the salaries Of seventeen employees in the floating
hospital from an aggregate sum of 1920 month to
dollar each, in order to get rid of them, there
being more attendants than patients in the esta-
and the disseminating Of the two clergy
men appointed to the hospital from the 18th of Oc
tober next. The whole report was adopted. Com
