New YORK, 7th.

New YORK, It'll.
The World asserts very positively,
this morning, that within month not
less than $4,000 men have left Charles
ton, New Orleans, Baltimore and New
York for Cuba, to aid the insurgents.
and large quantities of arms have been
sent for men already in the field.
Italso says, as we go to press, des-
patch has arrived from Peru & lillian,
who are engaged in carrying fillibusters
from New Orleans to some point con-
tiguous to the Cuban coast, have landed
at the Island of Grand Inequia, some
12hOurs steam from the Florida Keyes,
and have gone into quarters for rein
forcements.
The Cuban question is causing the ad-
mlnistratiOn considerable embarrass-
ment. 1t is deemed advisable to give
the Spanish Government no cause of
offence, but at the same time nothing
will be done to retard operations in this
country in favor of the Cuban revolu-
ton, unless the notice of Government
officials is officially called to them.

Sir Edward Thornton, Minister fl ON
Great Britain to the United States,

Washington. His object is to secure
summer residence at Newburyport.
New YORK, 18th.
Senator Sumner is reported to have
said, yesterday, that he was AFRAID that
the struggle in Cuba was little prema-
ture, and that it would not accomplish
anything unless the Cubans received
material aid from outsiders. He would
like, as he supposed every American
would, to see the Cubans succeed. He
thinks there would be difficulty in our
Government according belligerent
rights to the Cubans, and doubted
whether that would be of great material
service to the Cubans. He thought
that recognition on our part might
lead to trouble with Spain. Mr.. Sum-
ner believed that the annexation of
Cuba to the United States was inevita-
BILE, but it would come about of itself.
The present contest, if it does not result
in subduing the rebels, would leave
Cuba comparatively desert.
BALTIMORE, 9TH.
Priscilla Bradley, who poisoned a
whole family in Windsor county, Mary
land, some time since, has escaped from

her perfectly sane, she was turned back,
and on the way to her old quarters. she
escaped.
