BY our special correspondence from Havana,
published in another column, we have the de-
tails of news as given in our teegraphic
dispatches from that place to the 18th inst.
From these II appears that the revolution
hangs fire in the Western department., and that
no operations of moment have occurred in the
portion o. the island held by the insurgents
The assertion that an insuTectionary move
ment had occurred at Managua is given on
the strength of private advices, but these
require confirmation. A place so near to
Havana, with which it is in daily communica-
ton by rail, and located midway between
Cardenas and Sagua, in the very heart of the
sugar-producing district, could hardly have
caught fire from the neighboring confagration
without producing greater excitement in Ha
vana than has yet occurred. The deduction
we draw from the news rs il has reached us
is, that both parties in the Western depart
ment are waiting the arrival of General Dulce
kilograms from prominent Cubans in Madrid
state that The present government is disposed
to grant the most liberal reforms to Cuba, and
to consult the wishes OF the Cubans in the
future Legislation for the island. The plan Of
the new Cortes comedies twenty two deputies
to Cuba and thirteen to Puerto Rico. and all
the recent indications from Spain point con-
cusively 10 the fact that the present govern
ment there are not disposed to adopt hasty
and unwsc measures in regard 10 the great
social and political questions " hch agitate the
colonies

John Bright and the Gladstone Ministry.
John Bright, the greatest tribune Of the
people whom modern times has known, has at
last found the institutions and the public senti-
ment of Great Britain so changed that he can,
consistently with the principles he has always
advocated, accept Office under the Crown.
When we remember Mr.. Bright's past career
this is revolution. Nothing could be more
convincing Of the fact that Great Britain has
passed under entirely new conditions In all
the great reforms since that of 1881 -32-and
even then, though young man, and not yet in
the House of Commons he was an active
reformer-Mr. Bright has borne conspicu-
Gus part Catholic emancipation, the re-
moval of Jewish disabilities, the repeal Of the
Corn and Navigation laws, the emancipation of
the press through the repeal of the stamp,
advertisement and paper duties--these
and other reforms which have passed into
law always found IN him a sturdy,
persevering and incorporating advocate
Mr.. Bright, Notwithstanding all he has
done, and though more than once offered
place ia the Cabinet, has never up till the
present held Office under the Crown. That he
is fully satisfied of Mr.. Gladstone's liberal
intentions, and that he is prepared to lend him
all the help he can, we may rest assured.
When we remember the attitude Mr.. Bright
maintained toward the North during our late
unhappy civil war, all we Americans have
reason to rejoice that the great modern tribune
has had his services recognized in his own
country, and that he is at last in perfect har-
mony with the party in power. The only
real difficulty now, 50 far as Mr. Gladstone is
concerned, is that in the great struggle about
to commence he may find himself little too
slow for his radical colleague. This is one Of
the chances to which Mr.. Disraeli looks for
ward as likely to open up to him an avenue
through which he may return to power. 1t
will be well for Mr.. Gladstone if Mr.. Bright
and he can get along together; it will be well
for Mr.. Dsraeli if they cannot.

BROOKLYN ACADEMY or MusIc.-Mrs. Scott-Sid-

not quite 80 large might reasonably have been ex-
pected-and slim audience is always discouraging
TO the best OF arstsher Interpretation of the diff
cult role may fairly be classed among the first OF her
many excellent representations. The requirements
for perfect impersonaton Of Beatrice are. it il
needless TO say numerous and not easily attainable.
That Mrs. Scott-Siddons possesses nearly ALL
both or nature aud art, was evidenced last
evening" Notwithstanding the many counteractlng
Influences her rendition OF Beatrice was the closest
approach to perfection that has, perhaps ever been
witnessed in Brooklyn. MIR. Ii. ID. Harkins, as Bene-

other character he has Jet Sustained during his pre-

The Senate was In session yesterday for .

frauds which are daily being perpetrsted by
the whisky rings through the trescherous

been devised that will hold water, or In other
words that can or does prevent these mischiev.

According to present appearances, we are
now collecting only about one million dollars

twelve million dollars per annum. In any

year.
