Upon examination By the Board Of Public

lions were amounting to considerable of 3
trade, and as he made no returns to the CITY
Treasurer, resulted in nice little percentage
to the speculator. He Was thereupon imme-
diate1y arrested and brought before the Police
Court yesterday afternoon. The case was con-
timed by the defence until Saturday, when q
full elncidation Of the facts may be expected.

had hard work to convince the Spanish Minis

ter Of no consequence to the Confederate trait.

that the Southern States were the natural allies
asd friends Of Spain, 70 which the Minister oui.
say replied, that no private expeditions for the
invssiea Of Cuba had ever sailed from Northern
bss invariably from Southern ports This stun.

pitching into Secretary Seward. The Span.
