New ORLEANS, April s.-By the arrival OF
the steamship Quaker City we have received
Vera Cruz dates tc the lst inst, Uia Minititlan.
MiramOn appeared before Vera Cruz on the
18th ult., with an advanced guard of three
hundred men. After he had reconnoitered the
city he retired to the main army, which was
eucamped near Mediliae, nine miles off,
The women and children of Vera Cruz had
been transferred to the ships in the harbor.
The Liberals were highly animated. Mira
mon had sent 1900 men against AIvarado, who
retired without attacking. Miramon, finding
himself outgeneraled at all points, broke up
his camp on the 9th ult, and commenced his
retreat on the capital. Ampudia, with a strong
force, was in his rear, to cut off his retreat.
Degallado, with 1900 men, was at Tacubaya,
and other liberal forces surround the capital,
which is expected soon to surrender.
U. S. Minister Mclean arrived at Vera Cruz
on the lst inst, amid great rejoicings for Mira
mons retreat and his arrival
LATER.-The Quaker City's mails confirm
the retreat of Miramon, with the Liberals in
his rear.

prove the justice of killing an adulterer. He
cited the case Of the United States 10. Jarboe
who was tried in this Court for killing the
seducer of his sister.
In that case the Judge ruled that the Jury
must inquire into the state Of the prisoners s
mind at the time of the killing. He thought
that it was conclusively proved from these and
other passages that the greatest crime known
and recognized by the Bible was that of adul-
terry, and it was shown that in the common tri-
bunals of the world, there was no greater prov
ecation that could be offered to man. It was
folly to punish man for what he could not
help doing, and man could not help inflictng
summary vengeance upon another whom he
had discovered to have wronged him in this
way. II was no: necessary that the adulterer
should be caught in the very act of committing
his crime; it was sufficient to discover and catch
him so near to the commission as Key was in
this case. This was all that was necessary, and
then the law can look into the degree of provo
cation that was offered the husband
Mr.. Graham was listened to with intense in

HALIFAX, April 9.--The following interesting
proceedings in the Spanish Cortes, relative to
Cuba, is furnished by the Canada's papers:
In the Chamber of Deputies, cali having
been made for the production of the papers
relative to the negotiation between the United
States, France and England, for the acquisition
of Cuba by America, the Minister of Foreign
Affairs replied that some deputies had expressed
q desire to see the administration of Cuba i'm
proved, and the President of the United States
expressed the same wish.
The opinion of the President was that Spain
did not administer Cuba well, and that the
United States, on account of their higher in
telligence, had moral duty to fulfill, which
was to purchase the island.
The Government could not allow this idea
about Cuba to remain uncontradicted. All
Governments had labored to improve the condi-
tion of that island, and the Cabinet had been
constantly occupied with measures calculated
to give the inhabitants of that island the share
they ought to possess in their intended admin
istration without compromising the ties which
unite them to the mother country.
The best reply to the representations of GER
tain orators of the United States was the pros
perity of the island of Cuba.
That the question of the acquisition of the
island was imposing and menacing could not
be denied; nevertheless the government declared
that it felt all the security which its great
national resources were calculated to inspire.
1t has not, however, rendered insult for in
suit, as that would probably have aggravated
the question. 1t has conducted itself with
prudence and dignity, and had not applied for
assistance to any other power.
If any other foreign power had offered assist
ance, the government would have felt gratifed,
but it would not have accepted of it, because
it did not think any aid was necessary, as no
diplomatic document existed on the question,
which, happily, was almost terminated.

SUIcIDE.-A man named Dorm, printer by
profession, committed suicide, about four
O'Clock last Saturday afternoon, by blowing
his brains out with pistol, at the residence of
friend, No. 81 Liberty street. The deceased
was stranger in the city, having arrived here
from Dayton but few days previous to COM
mitting this rash act. A letter which he had
written to a friend was found on his person, in
which he spoke of the trials and hardships
with which he had struggled through life, and
of the ill-fortune which had constantly pursued
him, concluding with these words "When
you receive this I shall be no more" Poor
Dorm, he has received his last "take" on earth,
and may we not hope that his "form" will bo
"recOmpOSed" by the grand "Compositor" of
the universe into "new and revised edition"
for the "book" of life beyond the a'@*.
