HAVANA.

HAVANA, March 27-The steamer
Commidotaur, which left here last Tues
day for Cardenos, was se'zed by several
Of the passengers, who proved to be
patrols. The lady passengers were safe
ly landed, with q portion Of the crew
and captain, on a key near CardenOs,
when the captors took the steamer, it is
supposed, to Nassau.
The report published here a few days
ago, that a bloody battle had been fought
between the Government troops and the
insurgents, in the Eastern Department,
on the road from RsmediOres to Moronis,
is untrue. The engagement was only 8
slight skirmisb.

From the Cincinnati Commercially

M~ASHISGTON, March Is.
Without It's Civil-teuure Law excite
ment, Warrington, just now, would be
barren indeed Of interest. Approaching
this, Senators and members have cor
sented, at much personal sacrifice, to
keep the sutjsct up as Ions as possible.
The question assumed a different and
unexpected phase to-day. The opinion
last night was almost universal thai
Mr.. Bingham, watching his opportunity,
would move in the House to concur IN
the Senate's amendment to the act and
demand the previous question, giving no
time for debate. This would have the
effect, under party rute, Of carrying the
measure through with, it Is thought, but
little opposition. Batter, however, was
too quick for him, aud having waited for
his chance, being foremost 10 the move
meDt for absolute repeal, he sprung upon
the House 8 motion to commit the SER
ate amendments, together with bis bill
for repeal, 10 the Judiciary Committee,
Of which Mr.. Bingham is chairman, aud
himself q member. Upon this melton
he demanded the previous question. B -
ing entitled 20 an hours time, be farmed
il 0ut TO Logan and W&shburne, of Wis
cousin, friends Of the repeal, and to
FarnswOrih, taking for himself twenty
minutes to close the case. Mr.. Logan

The Arkansas papers announce tie
death, at his residence, in Pine Bluff, OF
DR.. BENJAMIN F. SCULL, noted as 8
physician aud HteTateUr, and q musical
composer Of much taste, fancy and skill
His death, which is much regretted by

Death OF Col. William Il. Brook
The Little Rock Gazette Of Wednes-

ous dsy, of Col. WILLIAM Il. BROOKS,
formerly editor Of one Of the leading
Democratic papers Of Detroit, Michigan,
and for some years editor of the Fayette-
VILE Arkaasiaa. He was a colonel in
the Confederate army, and served
throughout the wal with distinguished
ability. After the surrender, he was
elected to and served in the Arkansas
Legislature Of 1861, and since the ad-
journment Of that body was engaged in
furnishing supplies to Government con-

concluding q beautiful and noble tribute
to the deceased, says: "a gentleman

honorable, generous, decided, and en-
dOwed with great abilities, his death will
be recognised by all who knew him, as 9
serious loss to the State, and to a circle
OF friends and relatives, a bereavement

made up of such men. But when We
contemplate it, we find that it contains,
alas ! too few Of them"

sums bear o very Insignificant proportion to
the amount required to be expended in erect
ing works Of the magnitude designed for smelt-
ing the ore with mineral coal and manufdctur-
ing pig iron, which will require hundreds OF
thousands Of dollars. The purchasers are not
only experts in iron and coal, but they are

The Washington correspondent OF the Balti-
more Sun writes on the 18th instant:
Members of the Cabinet AMI other officials
vantage of the present dullness in Washington
for the preparation Of their staten Ants. Of
these. tne most anxlousiy looked for are the
statements of the Secretary OF the treasury
and the Commissioner OF Internal Revenue,
Thich properly embrace the financial features
Of the policy of the administration.
Io the matter Of the taxation and modlhca.
tion OF the present tax laws it is presumed
there will be general coincidence OF views and
suggestions between Secretary Boutwell, and
Commissioner Delano, especially when they
shall have had opportunity for consultation;
hut some or the prominent suggestions OF Com
missioner Delano are anticipated rom opinions
anu suggestions that have been disclosed IN
the course of Official action and discussion re-
Gently. From these i. may be inferred that in
his report Mr.. Delano will not recommend an
increase OF tax on spirits, but will favor either
q decrease in the sum now collected per gallon
or the continuance of the existing law. =.
0Tnthis particular, information comes that an
effort, IL to Be made by dealers IN whiskey to
defeat the commissioner, and by formidaple
; organization of the lobby to convince members
the figure named being one dollar. Secretary
Boutwell,, it is known, will favor the continu-
ance of the crescent law on the subject. Expe-
rienee has shown that q material modification
of the tax laws should be made and the bur
dens in some directions removed, while III
many instances the tax should be Increased,
and this Will form the great feature-of Com
missioner Delano's report. 80
In view OF the growth OF population and mui-
tipricatiou OF commercial transactions, an lm-
mense revenue can be raised by sometimes
doubling the tax on deeds, mortgages, promis-
sorry notes, checks. &C., which represen. capi-
tai, and a corresponding reduction msy be
made on tax on articles OF food and clothing oil
daily consumption, by poor and rich alike.
