FilibuStering at New York.

The New York Tribune Of Saturday prints this.
The Cuban movement in this CITY, whatever
douhters may think. is the real head and front Of
the revolution against Spain Few persons inn
agine the real strength Of this movement which
consists Of the large number of men engaged in
it, and the almost unlimited supply of money that
is at their command Millions Of dollars have
been subscribed and expended in purchasing
equipments. At least twenty thousand stand OF
arms and equipments have already been forward
ed TO safe destination on the Cuban coast, and
councils of war are nightly held in this city,
Many prominent ex-arny and naval officers of the
volunteer service have joined the Cubans Late

their officers were put ON board n tug boat inon.

there embarked on board a sailing vessel for Cuba.
This is not sensation item, but fact Two
weeks ago u large steamer was sent from this port
in ballast. She touched at point near Cape
May and there took on board equipments which
had been forwarded from Philadelphia. NUM-
tons and men are also collecting at Boston. and
at several southern cities. Several well-known
ex-army officers of this city left last evening for
Boston, whence it is expected the next party will
sail. A card was posted in several places, yes

that volunteers are secured. Ex-army officers are
much sought for, and are offered the same rate OF
pay they received from the United States, and in
many instances more.

been upon trial this week in the County Court
at Burlington. After two days hearing. Tho
cnse was given TO the jury on Thursday evening,
and after being out about ten minutes, they re-
turned verdict Of guilty. Abiding ~ this trial,
the Free Press says it may have seemed surpris-
ing that the counsel for the prisoner made no
more Of the fact Of his tender years-only IL
but the truth was, that no one who watched
the boy through the trial could be influenced BIS
any such argument He was, 10 all seeming, the
most unconoerned and Indifferent spectator Of the
trial. Even the terrible verdict brought no blench-
ing to his eye or tremor to his person lie left
the Court room with a smile Of hardihood upon
his face, and few minutes after his return to
Jail, though owning that his case looked "a little
rough, he sat down to game Of cards with one
or two other prisoners, aud apparently enjoyed it
os much as any of them

WY, in his seyenty-ffth year Forty years ago, and
for many years the firm Of French & Harvey was
one Of the widest and best known among the

uiacturers, they probably gave employment and
subsistence to more families than any other estal-

upon himself chiefly the charge of business at
home, Mr. Harvey was the salesman and collector
in the region within reach, and was widely known
throughout Vermont and in the territory ada
ccnt-perhaps more widely than any Of the bust
ness men of the town at the present day.
